Command-clicking layer name does not load layer as a selection (Photoshop CS2)

Q: Why does Cmd-clicking a layer name not load the layer as a selection in Photoshop CS2?
A: You must Cmd-click the layer thumbnail, not the layer name, to load the the layer as a selection.
In Photoshop CS2 Cmd-clicking the layer name in the Layers Palette selects the layer. To select multiple layers use the following keystrokes:
1. Multiple contiguous layers = Shift+click layer name
2. Multiple non-contiguous layers = Cmd+click layer name

It works for me and doesn't seem to care what tool i have selected or anything like that to make a difference. Maybe you should reset your preferences as it may be a glitch.
Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift as soon as you tell photoshop to startup, and it will ask you if you want to delete the preferences, just click yes. (If you have a custom UI that you want to save, goto Windows>Workspace>Save Workspace, and then just reload it after resetting prefs.)

  • Ctrl-clicking layer name does not load layer opacity mask (CS2)

    Q: Ctrl-clicking a layer name does not load the layers opacity as a selection in CS2 as it did in older versions?
    A: You must ctrl-click the layer thumbnail, not the layer name, to select the opacity of the layer. Ctrl-clicking a layer name is now connected to the new way of selecting multiple layers in Photoshop CS2, as per the standard way of selecting multiple objects in the Win OS.

    Thanks for the replies:
    I tried the shift, ctrl & alt keys on start up of PS2 and received a msg fm windows Vista about the PS short cut. I said OK and nothing happened.
    I started PS2 and then held the shift, ctrl & alt keys while it was starting. This seemed to reset some things because the original message that comes with PS came up. But the mask problem is still there.
    I went further in your instructions and found the "reset all tools". Did that. Still have the problem with my mask not clearing totally.
    Any more suggestions???? Thanks, Al

  • Error sound when trying to click on Spotlight; does not load

    Hi guys. I recently used CleanMyMac to erase some files that it told me were unnecessary, and stopped it when I found out that it could be doing more harm than good. Since then, my Spotlight has not been able to work and I fear I may have deleted something important. When I try clicking on the Spotlight icon in my toolbar, it produces the error sound, but the other items in the toolbar are selectable. Not sure what I can do here as no one else seems to be facing this problem!
    This is the first time I've encountered such a problem. Please help!!

    First, to clean your Mac, get rid of "CleanMyMac." Then do as follows.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • When I click on the iPhoto a gray appears along with the perpetual wheel but does not load.   Any recommendations?

    When I click on the iPhoto a gray appears along with the perpetual wheel but does not load.   Any recommendations?

    Assuming you're using iPhoto 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    We get this error when we try to check the properties of an analysis server using SQL Server Management studio(right click the instance name

    Hi RB_ORIPW,
    The table with name of 'XXX' doesn't exist.
    An error occurred when loading the model(Micorsoft.AnalysisServices)
    If I understanding correctly, you encounter the error randomly, now what you want it that avoid this issue completely, other than stop the services, detele the db filder and restart the services, right?
    The error might be caused by that the data file is corrupted. However, we cannot give you the exact reason that cause this issue. You can troubleshoot this issue by using the Windows Event logs and msmdsrv.log.
    You can access Windows Event logs via "Administrative Tools" --> "Event Viewer".  SSAS error messages will appear in the application log.
    The msmdsrv.log file for the SSAS instance that can be found in \log folder of the instance. (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS10.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Log)
    Here is a blog about data collection for troubleshooting Analysis Services issues, please see:

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Firefox Home with Search panel does not load/appear. When I click the home icon a message appears that says Firefox is not a valid URL. Never did that before?

    Nothing different from the question. Firefox just does not load. When I place the mouse cursor over the home icon and do not click, a message panel seemingly powered by My Yahoo states "drag the AT&T globe to the left of the home icon in the toolbar and drop it there, then select "yes" from the pop up window and you are done." This was an action I did recently (not today) but don't see what this has to do with Firefox

  • Why in the layer options does not appear to me "video layers" why? help

    why in the layer options does not appear to me
    "video layers" why? help
    I need to encourage and not because my computer does not appear to me and others computers that has the same photoshop cc if that option appears. It would be helpful to know what thanks

    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked

  • CDs loaded, Artist name does not appear in ARTISTS list

    Among all the CDs I've loaded and songs purchased, I have 2 Carly Simon
    CDs on my video iPod. However, Carly Simon's name does not appear in my
    list of ARTISTS in the Music Menu.
    I did a sync with my iTunes list and the songs are indeed loaded.
    Why is her name missing from the list and how do I get it back?
    It used to be there!
    Thanks-

    I just found the answer on the discussion board.
    In my SETTINGS I had compilations turned on.
    When I switched it off, Carly Simon was back in my

  • Error 'window SRID does not match layer SRID' despite using Index MBR

    Hey!
    I'm trying to run the following query:
    SELECT count(*)
    FROM mytable
    WHERE SDO_FILTER(geom, (SELECT sdo_root_mbr FROM user_sdo_index_metadata WHERE sdo_index_name='IDX_GEOM_MYTABLE') ,'querytype = WINDOW') = 'TRUE';
    The index I'm querying in the Subquery is the geometry index for mytable.geom, i.e. I'm doing a spatial query on IDX_GEOM_MYTABLE with it's own geometry index'es MBR. And I get this:
    "window SRID does not match layer SRID"
    How can that happen?
    Regards,
    Christian

    John's right. If I see correctly what you're trying to do you could also do this:
    SELECT count(*)
    FROM mytable
    WHERE SDO_FILTER(geom, SDO_TUNE.EXTENT_OF(mytable,my_SDO_column) ,'querytype = WINDOW') = 'TRUE';
    If the Index was built correctly and is not partitioned this should give you the same result.

  • Firefox does not load by clicking he icon why .have to restart to load

    firefox does not load.click the icon noyhing happens. I have to restart or log out for firefox to load

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Hi,
    I have successfully created an Oracle View with the following SQL:
    SELECT * FROM ZKGJI.L1100_CESTE c WHERE SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE(c.GEOM, SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, NULL, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(425150,95800, 437400,105000)), 'distance=1') = 'TRUE';
