CS4 tool and other pallettes wont stay above images

Hi
CS4, Unlike other versions of photoshop I have had, I am able to bury the tools and other palettes under my images.
I have my images free floating as always (as I like them) and as I shuffle them about on screen, they bury anything at the sides !
What setting keeps the tools and palettes on top ?

What operating system are you using?

    Contact Apple Support or an Apple Store if you have one near you. Your battery needs to run through the diagnostic test. You can also try to put the device into Recovery mode as well and rsetore the iOS software, and set up the device as new. Follow this article on Recovery Mode:

  • In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

    In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool,  a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you - Just what I needed

  • How to get tools and other bars back in view after deleting show-bar?

    How to get tools and other bars back in view after deleting show-bar?

    Hello Jouko.
    You can go into View > Toolbars and select the ones you want to see. If you can't see the menu bar you can simply tab ALT on your keyboard (I think F10 works too) to show it.

  • Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing

    Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing. System resources monitor shows only 700MB (of 5GB allocated to Photoshop) RAM and 30% CPU is used to perform such tasks as healing brush. Process bar comes up and is painfully slow to complete the task. I don’t understand why does Photoshop not use all the resources available/allocated? No other programs are running at the time, I have tried all the suggestions on this forum and all over the Google. My brand new system is: Intel I7 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz, 8GB 1600 RAM, Samsung PRO 120GB SSD system drive, 100GB scratch disk. The photos I usually work on don’t exceed 20MB in size. Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Thanks for the answer.
    I have not mentioned the GPU because the processes I described (as far as I know) are not supposed to be using GPU resources. So far I have not been able to afford the GPU i want which is GTX770, so I use Intel 4600 built in graphics instead. To be honest I find, that 4600 graphics is quite powerful. I am able to play Mass Effect 3 on Full spec on max res without game slowing down. And Windows 7 64bit index score is 7.8 for the 4600 graphics. Overall index score is 7.8 on my PC righ now.
    I'll try to get the Photoshop system info as soon as possible.
    Thanks again.

  • Exchange 2010 management tools and others

    Win2k8 domain, Exchange 2010 servers
    We want to move to Win8.1 but we, the admins, are preventing it because our tools like the Exchange 2010 Management tool doesn't work with Win8.0 so we're stuck with Win7.
    I've googled around and most suggestion never worked.
    Does Microsoft have any plans at all to have Exchange 2010 management tools and other tools we use to manage our domain work with Win8.1?

    Hi Rino, 
    Thanks for your sharing and efforts put on this issue. 
    This will benefit others who encounter the similar scenario as yours.  
    Happy holiday~

  • Color blender tool and other questions

    Hey. I've got Photoshop CS4, which I've been using pretty successfully for digital and pixel art, but there's still a lot to the program that's unknown to me, and trying to google up an answer isn't getting me anywhere. I've got a few questions.
    Is there some sort of color blender tool in CS4? By color blender, I mean something that will easily let me pick two separate colors and generate a range of colors that are between them. The tool at http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/color-blend/ is an example of a program that does what I'm hoping Photoshop can do.
    Is there a way to simultaneously view my canvas both zoomed in and at it actual size as I draw? This is mainly for pixel art, where the art close-up can look really different from the actual product. A little actual-sized canvas in the corner of my screen that updated as I made changes to the art in zoom in would save me the time I spend fiddling with magnifying glasses.
    Is there was way to keep the smudge tool at full opacity? When using it, smudging edges of color onto a blank space makes them start to get transparent. As of now I just get rid of it by multiplying the layer a few times and then merging, but is there a way to disable that?
    If there are no definite ways to do these things, any suggestions or guides you know of would be useful too. Thanks!

    Hello!
    Select the gradient tool, it is an alternate tool to the paint bucket one (Hit Shift+G until you see it replace the Paint Bucket tool)
    Double-click on the gradient you see in the option bar, you will then get the gradient editor http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-77dfa.h tml
    Double-click on the first color stop to get an eyedropper, sample your first color, do the same with the end one, and the second color.
    Once your gradient is created, you'll be able to lay down a gradient, and pick the middle color with the eyedropper tool.

  • Since I ipdated photoshop CC 2014, my layers and brush panels (and others) will not stay open. AS soon as I open them, they close. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    Trying to open my layers or brush panels in photoshop Cc 2014 and they won't stay open. They close as soon as they open. This started immediately following the latest update that I ran today.

    Try resetting the PS preferences and check if it's an issue with corrupt preferences : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
    Try to open PS in Plugin Disabled mode and check the same. For that Press Shift+PS icon and hit Yes.

  • I get three icons (IE) using the move tool and other tools as well

    I'm using PS CS4 with windows 7and with different tools my pointer shows three different icons, also when I try to resize ctrl+shift it won't resize to scale. I can't figure whats wrong I've even re installed PS. I have a dead line tonight and somthing is messed up please help. Thanks in advance.

    It's a little hard to determine whether you're getting wrong/multiple mouse pointers or what from your description...  Can you capture the screen showing the problem, and post it here?
    As a first suggestion, check to make sure your video drivers are up to date.

  • My illustrator free trial does let me access the paint brush tool and other tools (artboards), is his a glitch or a restriction on the trial?

    please help!

    refarta,
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Pdf  WEB PAGES  -  MISSING SNAPSHOT TOOL (and others)

    I recently installed Adobe reader 9 and this has been a severely retrograde move. My university course makes ALL our lecture notes and documents avaialble OVER OUR INTRANET (i.e. as WEB PAGES) as pdf documents - we used to be able to simply click on the link and view them in a webpage, then use the Adobe snapshot tool whenever necessary to extract pictures or text from the notes (which often have ENORMOUS variations in font size and picture resolution WITHIN the ONE DOCUMENT) and paste them into a temporary document in order to blow them up and print them out so we can SEE them. They also often needed to be ROTATED before they could be printed out.
    Now however, the Adobe reader 9, when we view these documents IN A WEB PAGE, has NO tools that allow us to do these VERY IMPORTANT MEASURES to make our lecture notes READABLE. All it allows us to do is to print it as it is!
    In an incredibly demanding and intensive course, we now have to WASTE TIME we can ILL AFFORD by saving the document (which we DON'T WANT or NEED TO SAVE) and THEN OPEN it, use the tools which suddenly appear in Adobe reader 9 when opening a saved document, do what we need to do to print out something readable, then remember to delete what we've saved.
    This we have to do OVER and OVER AGAIN - it is UNELIEVABLY INCONSIDERATE and ANNOYING.
    We are already under HUGE pressure in our course, and students in the REAL WORLD do NOT have rich American mummies and daddies who pay all our expenses - we CANT AFFORD to buy every new expensive Adobe program just because our university decides to use pdf for everything.
    If anyone has information that there IS a way to do snapshots, rotation etc on a pdf document VIEWED IN A WEB PAGE, could you please advise us here? Thankyou!

    Thnakyou for your reply - there's definitley no way the uni will change their standard format, and it's really not their fault anyway. I wanted to re-load Adobe 7 but can't find it anywhere on the Adobe website, and do not want to risk loading it from elsewhere!

  • Cross Hairs only on Burn Tool and other Brushes (Elements 8)

         Today I sat down to continue work of files I created in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks a short time ago.  As part of the process I often use tools such as dodge, burn, healing brush, stamp tool etc.  For some reason the size of the indicator is always the cross hair and bulls eye you normally get when you select a brush size that is very small.  (small pixel amount)  It doesn't matter what size you select to work with, the same indicator appears.  I am used to working with a circle indicating how much of the image will be affected.  Without this you have no idea what the scope of your corrections will be.  I don't remember making any changes that would cause this problem.  Can anyone help? 

    Everyone does, because everyone does it.

  • Three icons for crop tool and others in windows 7

    My tools come in 3's since I installed PSE8 on windows 7 (core i 7, 64 bits) mainly crop, move, eyedropper and paint bucket. Others like clone, text and blur are OK. What gives? I had same program on XP and all was working fine.

    That's a known bug with PSE.  You should be able to set the text size to 149% via Set Custom Text Size and not trigger the Editor bug.  Note that the Organizer also has a bug with text sizes -- its menus won't display properly at text sizes larger than 100% unless you apply this workaround:

  • My bar with tools and other options has dusappeared. How can I restore it? Without being able to click on tools I can't begin. thanks

    I clicked something and inadvertently made my entire bar disappear, the one that has browsing options and the "tools" selection. Now I cannot access the tools to make a restoration.

    dan8,
    To restore the menu bar,
    1. Press Alt on the keyboard and release. The menu bar will appear temporarily.
    2 On the menu bar, click View, go to Toolbars, then select which toolbars you want to see.

  • TV Show and other movies wont play?

    Hello all,
    I just downloaded some TV episodes off of itunes and put them on my ipod, yet they wont play! They play fine in itunes, and when i play them on my ipod, it doesn't play. There's just a black screen and it doesn't progress time-wise, what's up?

    If you have already tried resetting your iPod, try reinstalling the latest firmware using iTunes. If that doesn't help, you may have to do a complete restore.
