CS5 Disable Picture Content Select with Selection Tool

I'm not sure if this was added in CS4, because I skipped CS4, but I know it wasn't there in CS3. With my Selection Tool (solid cursor), I can grab the contents of a picture box represented by circle mark that appears in the center of an image on mouse rollover. If I come close to it, I grab the picture, not the frame (what I don't want). But if I keep my selection closer to the edge, I select box and contents (what I want). How can I disable this feature? I have looked through my preferences to no avail. I mean, I thought that's what the Direct Selection Tool was for? If I want the contents selected, I use the hollow cursor. Why mess with that? Please tell me this can be disabled. It would make my day.

I did a search, but was hitting nothing. And I was looking in the wrong spot for it in the app.
You... have made my day. Thank you, thank you.

Help; my selections with all tools are proportional

Hi there,
I'm using CS5. I expect the selection starting point to be the upper left corner, and as I drag the cursor the selection area enlarges. However, when I use a selection or crop tool I get a centered selection area, and as I drag the cursor the selection area gets larger on all sides. I know I must have selected a special setting or something but I cant find where to turn it off. PLease any advice would be welcome.

Are you running 10.6.5 or 10.6.6?

Mulitple selection with select option on subscreen

Hi colleagues,
   I've the following issue:
I'm programming a dynpro this dynpro contains two subscreens. The lower subscreen will contain another dynpro defined as subscreen with an ALV to display results.
The top subscreen (0150) area will be filled with a generated subscreen with the command
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 0150 AS SUBSCREEN.
with select options I define my selection area like:
SELECT-OPTIONS: sa_6 FOR gs_rp_attrib_sel-sonr.
   If I call my transaction starting up the dynpro containing the two subscreens the result looks quit how I expect it. BUT then I try to start up the multiply selection Pop-UP for the selection field by pressing the button just right behind the HIGH input field, nothing happens. The multiply selection pop-up basicly does not show up.
   Any clues what I need to add that it will show up?
   Does the mulitply selection not work with
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 0150 <b>AS SUBSCREEN</b>???
(If I do a simple test program with a selection screen not being a subscreen, the multiply select popup comes up.)

Hi,
A subscreen cannot call another screen.
I guess this is the reason why u are facing this problem.
Thanks,
Rashmi.

Illustrator CS5.5 type not editable, not selectable with type tool

Hi folks, Working on a poster in Illustrator. Have added area type, using the type tool. Now I'd like to increase the size of one line. I can't select or edit any of the type with the type tool. I moved the type to a new layer, saved, closed Illustrator, restarted my Mac (OS X 10.7.4). Looked in preferences, in case there's an issue there. No luck.
By the way, I also don't see handles when in the selection tool any more. Don't know if that's related.

Thanks, Monika! Of course, something simple. It was Show Edges. Show Bounding Box was correctly set.

[bug report] Making selection with pen tool causes 'jittery' edge

When I use the pen tool to create a path, and then make a selection from it and select inverse and delete the background, the result is a very un-even edge not the clean resullt you would expect, however if I make a mask from the same selection it looks fine.
Steps to recreate
1. Draw a simple path with the pen tool
2. Make a selection from the path, with 0 feather and anti alias turned on
3. Inverse selection (optional, same thing happens if you don't inverse)
4. Delete the rest of the image
5. The edge of the image now has an uneven, jittery edge
compared to mask
5. Undo the delete
6. Go to Channel Pallette, and make a mask from the selection
7. Edge of the mask should be clean like you would expect
You can exaggerate the jittery effect by adding feather the the path selection

Ok please Delete this I've sorted it. The blending mode had jumped to disolve.... but I 100% didn't change it to this myself, I wasn't even in the layer pallette at the time

Keeping brush selected with pen tool cs4

Make selection with pen tool?

In photoshop, you can create a path with the pen tool and then make that path a selection as if you'd used the lasso tool. How do you turn a pen path into a lasso selection in Flash (CS4)?
Thanks,
Keith

Essentially, any path that you drawn in Flash, that you want to use to make a sub-selection of your artwork, has to be pasted onto your artwork layer and the "outside" portion deleted.
Let's say you imported JPG into Flash of a house, and you wanted to remove the background. First, break it apart so that it's a fill. Then, it can help to draw your manually-drawn pen selection on a new layer above. Once you have traced the house/drawn your selection (making sure it's a closed selection) , copy the lines and paste that onto your layer of artwork. Click outside of the selection and delete the edges.
One could also decide to fill the drawn selection lines, and use that as a mask for the artwork.
Flash has fewer of the drawing tools than Photoshop or Illustrator. But even if this doesn't answer your question, there is a way to do what you want.

Invert selection with bezier tool

I traced my subject with using the bezier tool and once I connect all of the points the person disappears. How can I tell Motion to invert the selection where the person stays but the background vanishes?

hi,
if you look at the far right buttons in the tool bar you wil see two buttons that might be greyed out. They have mask written underneath them. To create a mask for an object, you select the object you want to mask and then click on the mask tool you want. Click and hold on the first button, a selection pops up. you can choose the rectangle mask, or circular mask or the freehand mask. The second button gives you the option of a bezier tool or b-Spline. All work in slightly different ways to achieve slightly different things. After you have drawn a mask, or a shape for that matter, you can always click on the indiviual points and edit them using bezier tools.
pressing theB key gives you the shape tool.
thanks

Contents copied with "patch tool" disappear

I am having trouble with the "patch tool" . . .
Whether I use it in "Normal" or "Content Aware" mode, the patches that are made disappear after I make the patch.
For example, I am copying a portion of a uniform that has lines. I want to copy the lines to another part of the uniform to make it appear as one.
I use the "patch" tool to draw around the area. I then move the stylus pen over the area I wish to copy, and the preview within the circle shows the "addition" to look fine.
But as soon as I release the "patch" tool, Photoshop "thinks" for a few seconds (as signified by a "spinning wheel"-type cursor) . . . then it stops "thinking," and the contents of the patch area disappear. Although they were there as a preview, they disappear when I release the "patch" tool after completing the copy.
What am I doing wrong? TIA for any help . . .

Thanks, Brian . . .
I had already watched this video (and I agree it is a good tutorial) . . .
The problem is I am looking for a "troubleshooter" answer, for when the tool does not work, and this video does not address that . . .
I have found a number of tutorials on how to use the video, but they are all based on the assumption that it works (which I am assuming it usually does) . . .
I am looking for a clue as to why it doesn't work but can't find anything . . . thanks for your help, though . . .

Content created with v18 tools, crashed the v19 Content Viewer

Hi,
We've been working on a publication using v18 of the DPS tools in InDesign, this works perfectly when viewed with the v18 Adobe Conent Viewer.
Our client has downloaded the Content Viewer to see the work we have done so far, however on viewing certain articles the viewer crashes.
I have installed v19 onto one of our iPads and confirmed that this problem occurs.
I have also created a few test folios, with individual articles and the viewer does not have any problem viewing them, however when I put multiple articles into the same viewer, it starts to crash again.
I've uploaded using both the v18 and v19 versions of the folio builder, and get the same results.
I find it unbelieveable that the Content Viewer does not seem to be backwards compatible with folios created with previous versions of the tools. Is there a way to fix this?
Any insight would be appreciated, my client is getting understandably frustrated.
Thanks
Ryan

Can you try to re-bundle the content? (perhaps on v19 tools?)
You could post the source files and crash logs to Adobe to see if they can't patch the issue in the v19 viewer. Even if they did, however, it would require a viewer update.

Checkedlistbox allows multiple selections with Selection mode set to one

I have a simple CheckedListBox with three options. I set Selection Mode to One. When I test the form, it allows me to have more than one box checked. I can clear the other two with a program, but my understanding of Selection Mode was that it would not
allow more than one box to be checked if set on one.

Option Strict On
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
CheckedListBox1.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.One
For i = 1 To 10
CheckedListBox1.Items.Add("Number" & i.ToString)
Next
End Sub
Private Sub CheckedListBox1_ItemCheckChanged(sender As Object, e As ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles CheckedListBox1.ItemCheck
Dim ItemIndex As Integer = e.Index
For i = 0 To CheckedListBox1.Items.Count - 1
If i <> ItemIndex Then
CheckedListBox1.SetItemCheckState(i, CheckState.Unchecked)
End If
Next
End Sub
End Class
