Compass in Photoshop 5

Please can someone tell me how to manage the compass thing that seems to appear from nowhere, rotates my image and then won't let me unrotate it? Any advice much appreciated. I think I'd like to marry Photoshop 5 but not knowing what to do with this compass thing is driving me batty.

Hi Chris
Thanks. I've searched Photoshop Help and the net for Compass, and
Compass Rose because I saw that somewhere as well as Rotate but none
of those brought up anything. I'll look for Canvas Rotate Tool and
Shortcuts.
All the best

  • How do I set up photoshop to work with a touch screen?

    Hi,
    I just bought a 15.6" Asus Q500A touchscreen laptop with Windows 8. I downloaded photoshop and the 'touch app plug-ins' through the Adobe Application Manager for creative cloud. When I open a file in PS and select the brush(or any other) tool if I use the touch screen to drag it accross the canvas nothing happens. It still works with my mouse though.
    How can I get this to work properly?

    That does not surprise me. As I wrote Photoshop does not support Touch. It has supports for graphic tablets pens with wintab device drivers. It has support for mice and keyboards. No where do I see touch support documented in Photoshop manual. Here is a link to Photoshop manual search it for touch, http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/photoshop_reference.pdf  The closest thing  I found to touch support is the following:
    ========================================================================================== =======
    Use the Rotate View tool
    You use the Rotate View tool to rotate the canvas non-destructively; it does not transform the image. Rotating the canvas can be useful for any
    number of reasons, including facilitating easier painting or drawing. (OpenGL is required.)
    You can also use rotate gestures on MacBook computers with multi-touch trackpads.
    1. In the toolbox, select the Rotate View tool . (If the tool isn’t visible, hold down the Hand tool.)
    2. Do any of the following:
    Drag in the image. A compass will indicate north in the image, regardless of the current canvas angle.
    In the options bar, enter degrees in the Rotation Angle field. Click or drag the circular Set Angle of Rotation control.
    3. To restore the canvas to the original angle, click Reset View.
    For a video on the Rotate View tool and other workspace tips, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4001_ps. (Discussion of the Rotate View tool begins at the 5:10 mark.)
    Disable trackpad gestures (Mac OS)
    If you have a MacBook computer with a multi-touch trackpad, you can use the trackpad to flick, rotate, or zoom images. This functionality can
    greatly increase your efficiency, but you can disable it if inadvertent changes occur.
    1. Choose Photoshop > Preferences > Interface (Mac OS).
    2. In the General section, deselect Enable Gestures
    ========================================================================================== ===========
    My Wacom Intuos 5 Touch device driver has some touch support for some Photoshop features.  I do not try to finger paint I use the Wacom pen for that.  I also do not get the strange finger paint in Photoshop when I use my finger to move the mouse cursor with the Wacom Intuos 5 touch support. Starting outside an image window or inside one,
    However if I add two finger support add tap to click I can finger paint and also use other tools.  However I'm not into finger paint so I do not configure Touch support that way for Photoshop.

  • Photoshop update failure in Creative Cloud

    While the other programs update just fine, PS update fails when I try and the following message shows;
    There was an error installing this update
    (U44M1P32)

    Jeff,
    Help MBTH1 and me out please with this. If MBTH1 is like me and followed the advie of the tech rep when he called in then Photoshop CS6 has been uninstalled from his system and we are dealing with a Photoshop CC issue. That's a different program from what I understand. Photoshop CC appears to install but immediatly wamts to install an UPDATE. We are unsure WHAT this update is or what it does only that it fails to install and we receive this criptic error message.
    Now I though it may be due to a problem in my Pc so I went to my laptop and tried the same thing after first removing any and all traces of Adobe to include READER. Restarted my laptop and attempted to install Photoshop CC. It installs and shows it needs an update so I apply the update and it fails
    Yes I'm disappointed and a bit pissed.I cannot tell you how much I've lost in the way of actions, brushes, gradiants, preset and the like trying to use CC. I know Adobe doesn't give a hoot about us photograpghers anymore but damn this is my livelihood here. I'm trying to be a good Adobe-ite here but Adobe is making it harder and harder to conduct business.
    I know Adobe Tech support is trying to help but there is a languge issue, sorry it's true, and the two I've talked to seem as confused as I am. I'm a photographer not a computer guru. I'll certainly follow the link you provided and see if I can figure out what the installer log is telling me. If I get the update to update I'll post my steps to this thread for others to follow.
    I just think this entire issue speaks to Adobe's compassion for its customers. I for one an mot happy with Adobe, but I don't need to be. All I need to do is keep paying my $50 a month.

  • How do you get rid of that compass?

    Can you help me get rid of the compass that appears in photoshop sometimes?  I don't know what it's there for...  Thanks! 

    That's probably the compass you see when having the Rotate View Tool selected

  • I want to get rid of that compass and can t open 2 photos together on  CS5

    please help me to disable that compass for good until I really need it, or I ll go crazy (the thing that makes a picture tilt when you really don t need it),
    also I can t open 2 pictures together, separately, in CS5, one falls on top of the other, when I can do it in CS3, very odd.

    Go to preferences (Photoshop menu > preferences >interface) and uncheck "Open documents as tabs".
    For turning off the rotate view tool, you could try turning off the rotate gesture in your system prefs, or unchecking "enable gestures" in the interface tab of the Photoshop prefs.

  • Error:  "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

    Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
    I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
    I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
    Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
    My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
    Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
    I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
    I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
    Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

  • Adobe Stock Photos Stuck in Trash and Photoshop CS2 won't run!

    Okay, I apparently did something stupid. I'm not even sure how this happened, but I realized that Adobe Stock Photos folder was sitting on my desktop (I'm using OS X 10.5.6). I don't know when this happened and I didn't think I needed it so I dragged it to the trash. NOW I cannot run any of my Adobe software (includes Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2 and GoLive CS2).
    I can see the folder sitting in my trash, but it won't let me drag it back out. So, just as a test, I tried dragging out the one other file (.jpg) and I can't get that one either. I know this isn't a Mac forum, but I'm desparate and cannot find anything to help me.
    Probably I am going to have to reinstall everything and (of course) I can't find my CDs!!! Please don't get angry if I'm asking the wrong question. I've done an internet search and I cannot find any solutions.
    Thanks, Anne

    Adobe stock photos does not even exist anymore.
    Have you tried deleting your trash? I have no Adobe stock Photos on my computer and everything works. try restarting the computer.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 posterization problem on vignette

    I am having a problem with posterization in my image. When I try to vignette my photo (with black) it starts to block up in areas, mostly in the darkest part of the gradient. It ends up not making a smooth transitional gradient and leaves a line where it blocks up. It shows up on the screen as well as on the print. I have a calibrated LaCie CRT 19" monitor, G5 and I am working from digital raw files from a Fuji S2 that are AdobeRGB and also film scans that have done the same thing. What can I do to prevent this? Is it something to do with my G5 or is it the software in Photoshop? If there is any info that left out to help solve the problem please let me know!
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    If it shows up on screen and in print, then issue is with the software.
    Adobe has forums. Might try there.
    best wishes

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 shuts itself down after printing..

    Not sure whether I'm in the right place to post this..
    In my workplace, we just bought some new iMacs for design class. They are a 2GHz with Intel Core Duo, and has 1GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM, and running Mac OSX 10.4.8.
    The Photoshop CS2 is version 9.0
    I've config-ed the five new iMacs so they can print to a printer, using IP printing. Problem is, most of the time after the students sends the document they want to print to the printer, Photoshop CS2 just shuts itself down. Then the dialog box saying 'the software just unexpectedly quit' appears.
    It is confusing me, because our older iMacs (that's not an Intel-based) doesn't have this problem, at all.
    is it something to do with CS2 compatibility with Intel-based Macs? or something else.. what needs to be done to stop this annoying problem?

    Photoshop CS2 and Nikon D200
    Chuck Dell - 09:20am Dec 19, 2005 Pacific
    Just purchased new Nikon D200. RAW Images will not open in Photoshop CS2. Receive Adobe Photoshop CS2 error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." Images taken with this camera will open in Nikon Capture 4.4 and then can be transferred to CS2 But attempting to open RAW images directly with CS2 is futile.
    Images taken with Nikon D2h and Nikon D100 flow perfectly through CS2
    Only images taken with Nikon D200 will not open in CS2.
    Is this Nikon problem or an Adobe problem?

    upon importing i had the option of selection importinf from a "PICT Resource..."
    this was the only option that allowed me to select my JPG images (digital caerma images, btw)
    when i select and clikc OK, a message that comes up that says "There are no PICT resources in this file"
    moreover, when i convert the JPG images to PICT images (via preview) i get the same message
    strange, since i've been able to copy and past my JPG files all along until now...

  • In adobe bridge in Tools menu below the cache submenu it only says "process collections in Photoshop". It does not give me the option to "load images in layers is Photoshop"

    No tengo la opción de cargar imagenes en capas en photoshop desde adobe bridge en el menu herramientas

    If all the items do not appear, consider resetting Bridge Preferences.
    Close Bridge, hold down Command-Option-Shift (PC: Control-Alt-Shift) and then launch Bridge again. A dialog will appear asking what you want to do. Turn on the Reset Preferences checkbox and click OK. Now when Bridge appears, the preferences are factory-fresh.
