CS5 turn off object selection "target"?

Does anyone know if it's possible to toggle off the object selection target (the thing that looks like a focus ring from an older film lens) that appears as a default within the image box? I can't tell you the number of times I've meant to move an entire image box and accidentally shifted the image within the bounding box instead. It's a-makin me craaazy!

Nobody needs it - I'm clueless to why it was ever introduced?
I turned it off too - but I have to admit I would use it if the target was smaller. With the content grabber on there is too much chance of accidently moving an image within the frame.

All layers turning off when selecting layers.

I'm sure this is discussed elsewhere, but I can't find anything…
I keep having this thing happen where when I go to turn on a layer (layers pallet, the little eyeball icon), all the other layers turn off. Then I have to go back and turn on just the ones I meant to be on. Causes me problems in large multi layer documents… risks embarrassing errors.
I'm sure this is a feature, but I can't figure out what causes it to happen, and how to stop it from happening. Or for that matter going back to the previous state. Feels to me like a "mis-click" or stutter from using a Wacom.
Any ideas?

Like R_Kelly said, it is the normal behavior if you hold the option key.
If the option key is not stuck, it reminds me of an old bug, that has been cured by an update.
Check that you are running Ps 12.0.4 or 12.1, or run the updater: http://adobe.ly/PS-Up-To-Date
If you are running the lastest version, you might want to re-create your preferences, per : http://adobe.ly/PS_Prefs

Turn off center selected object in view

If I am zoomed in 500% and select an object, it centers it in my view, and sometimes it will select the object and move it, just by clicking on it. Is there an option to turn this off?! It's VERY frustrating when i'm trying to move things to s specific place. Here is a video.

I know this behavior but as this only occurs on high zoom levels it's not a problem form me.
The only way to avoid this I know about is to select objects in the hierarchy tree not in Design view.

[CS5] Turn off bounding box?

When I select multiple items InDesing creates this so called handy bounding box around them.
Does anyone know how to turn this off?
This bounding box wouldn't be so bad if I could still resize the seperate items within the selection by grabbing one of the handles of an object. Like it was possible in CS4!
Why did this change anyway? Did Adobe got many complaints that InDesign was working too well and that it should be made more difficult for its users?

The frame edge drives me crazy. It is one of my three biggest complaints wit InDesign CS5.
My list:
Background Tasks - I want the 1% of the time and could live without it then, preferring the straight out dialog.
Network losses - CS5 is far too sensitive about seeing a dropped network connection when it isn't dropped
Frame Edges - At minimum I don't want them when I'm hiding frame edges.

Turn off Object Causes Wrap for in-line tables

Is there a way to uncheck object causes wrap for inline tables? The option is there but it's grayed out.
Or perhaps someone could suggest an alternative way to put text beside the table. Floating will not work because I want my tables to move with my text.
My document is in Word Processing mode.

I just tried this and it works for me. Put your cursor where you want your text and create another inline table. Make it one column by one row. Type your text in the single cell. Set the border color to white if you don’t want to see the “box.”

You can get there from here (booting normally); it just may take you a few steps to do it.
If the disk is almost full and the system won't boot then sometimes it will boot in Safe Mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
Empty the trash after it boots.
Then for hints on how to free disk/SSD storage see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5872318?tstart=0
If the Safe Mode boot does not do the trick then you can install OS X on an external hard disk, boot from that, and then delete files. You can also reach the disk via Target Mode. A third option is to take it to an Apple store where they can do a network boot and help you remove some files.

HR Infosets - switch object selection question?

Dear All,
I encounter this issue. I create a HR Infosets using logical database PNPCE. As the requirement of our HR Dept, so we need to add more extras fields (by code).
The problem when we switch on/off object selection (from menu):
- When the object selection is off: all the extras fields I add are available.
- When the object selection is on: all of them are not available.
This is my idea. All the field of infosets will be display when the object selection is on depend on SAP internal field, and the extra field we add by code will not be displayed.
But it's my opinion. So please help me with this issue.
Thanks in advanced.
Thien.

Hi,
We can hide those options by implementing the Layoutsets. If you need to hide those options for standard admin user itself, then you need to change the standard Layoutsets, which is not recommended. These options are defined in the "Command Group" of the Layoutsets.
You can Navigate to Layoutsets thru below path.
Sys Admin -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management ->Content Management -> User Interface -> Settings -> Layoutset
Tweaking over the Layoutset Command group properties will hide the options which you mentioned.
Thanks,

VBScript to turn off Backup schedule

We have a third party application that backs up our user data, but the last guy who created our images forgot to turn off the scheduled backup. We have hundreds of machines that need to have the "turn off schedule" selected. I can't find a vbscript
that will do that. I need to be able to run the script via psexec on all of the machines. I need some help on where the "turn off schedule" writes to the registry. Anyone know?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm not very clear on exactly what you're asking, but you can use this tool if you're trying to figure out what registry changes you need to make:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot/
Group Policy can then be used to enforce registry changes on the clients.

How to turn off frame edge highlighting in CS5?

Has anyone discovered how to turn off the frame edge highlighting on rollovers. I find this feature visually distracting and quite annoying as I'm moving around a page. Send advice, please. Thx.

Chief:
Sorry we got off track and didn't post the main workaround for Frame Edge Highlighting: Keep your hand on the spacebar.
This comes from Mike Rankin in the InDesign Magazine Tip of the Week in January:
TIP: Spring-Loaded Tools to the Rescue
InDesign tries very hard to help you align objects when you drag by snapping them Do you dislike the Frame Edge Highlighting that appears when you mouse over frames in CS5? Spring-loaded tools can help. Frame edge highlighting only appears when you use one of the selection tools. With spring-loaded tools, you can press and hold single keys to temporarily switch to any other tool. As long as you hold the key for more than a second, you'll switch back to your previous tool when you release the key. You have plenty of choices (t, \, p, f, m, n, c, e, g, z, etc).
Holding the spacebar also prevents the highlighting from appearing, and it's a nice big place for your fingers to rest. Heck, you don't even have to pay much attention to where you press--just rest your hand in the middle of the keyboard and lift it up when you want to select something. But don't hold v or a, which are the shortcuts for the selection tools.
- Mike Rankin
(Mike had suggests this several times in the past year, though not with the spacebar. E.g. he recommended 'H' back in June over on
InDesignSecrets. "H" for Hate).
There have been several threads on this, including the locked 201-post monster, Frame edge highlighting, and the feature request Allow Frame Edge Highlighting to be turned off, and frame edge highlights on hover.
Basically the takeaway is that it only happens with the selection (V) and direct selection (A) tools, and that multiple people have asked Adobe for a control to turn it off, and they've finally added one, but only in CS5.5, not in a CS5 maintenance release.

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.
more path shortcuts:

How to turn off descriptive cursor in illustrator CS5.5

Does anyone know how I can turn off the descriptive cursor when I move objects around in illustrator? - (see bottom screencap) I know there must be a place but can't find it . . . . I am new to this version.
I am on a Mac OS X - 10.6.8 - and running CS5.5 - Standard . . . . the product is working very well. I just want to turn this off. . . .
Thanks! : )

Can't see the image at the moment because of maintenance. Maybe it's the smart guides (View > Smart guides)

Turning off Keep Options in InDesign CS5

I'm having a real nightmare with Keep Option in ID CS5.
I was hoping I could use them to stop orphans but they seem to create them unnecessarily.
I turned on some Keep Options in my style sheet for my body text and I couldn't get them to work the way I wanted.
Now I just want to turn all the Keep Options off and have the text flow normally - when it reaches the end of the text frame to go to the next regardless of where it is in the paragraph.
So I have all the Keep Options turned off in the Paragraph Style Sheet and the lines are still breaking too early.
Is this a bug?

Hello Jongware, I take your point that the Keep Options in the Paragraph Styles is pretty self explanatory and I have to admit to causing some of the confusion myself.
But to prevent widows and orphans selecting "Keep Lines Together", then filling in 2 in the "At Start/End of paragraph" Start and End lines, unfortunately breaks 3 or 4 line paragraphs at the beginning of pages.
(I read somewhere that widows are at the top of pages/columns; orphans at the bottom).
Also I find the Keep Options dialogue box from the Paragraph palette rather confusing:
The "Keep with Previous" with a check box followed by an indented "Keep with Next" just throws me!
But thanks to you and everyone else, I pretty much get it now.

CS5 Smart Guides: Can't Turn Off?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to turn off the smart guides in CS5. The menu item is unchecked; turning them on and then back off again does nothing.
Is this a known issue? Operator error? Something else?

Wow that was quick.
In reply to:
And how do you figure turning off frame edges is going to make it LESS likely that you'd move the wrong object?
Well it wasn't in previous versions and now it is. Therefore I can gauge my performance based on previous versions.
For example at this moment I have a 2 sided A4 brochure that has to be at the printer by the morning. The job is for a surf company. The file contains a place illustrator file of a pretty complex illustration. There are photos and text boxes and on top of that I have several cut and pasted vector files from Illustrator as part of the theme that I need editable so I can change colours, gradients and transparencies. So all up there is a lot going on. I have quite a few more layers than usual, so that I can lock layers to prevent the "smart highlighting" happening. But in the design process I need a lot of elements active to be tweeked to get the file the way I want it to look.
Now I have a new mac with lots of RAM, but still when you have a complex file with lots of stuff going on, and you want to zoom in and change something quickly because the client who is sharing screen with you on skype wants to put a gradient fade behind a some text to give it some pop... which then makes a millisecond of redraw time happen and your mouse is also loaded to place an image at the same time into a frame, I have found that when you are moving your mouse across the page, while the "smart frame edges" function is occurring, the highlighted frame sometimes will dump the loaded image or eye dropped colour into an unintentional frame or element. It doesnt happen all the time but it is enough to make you want to write in a forum like this. I do this kind of work enough to know it is stifling the creative process. If I was designing a catalogue with a photo on one side and a description on the other there wouldn't be as much of a concern.
Sorry if the spelling is bad its almost 2am and I still have about an hour to go.

How do I turn off notification tone in SoundBooth CS5

Each time I return focus to the Soundbooth screen a very loud chord sounds, apparently built in to the program. It makes it very annoying to work with since it is blasting loud in the earphones.
Is this some kind of error tone I'm getting or something that can be disabled?

When trying to rotate something the object tries to align with every single available element who InDesign conciders could be interesting aligning with. THATS NOT HOW WE PROS DO IT!!! We hold SHIFT when rotating stuff, and if we want to rotate stuff outside the 45° scope we use the input palette so we get exact figures.
And why (again) would InDesign have anything to do where I put my elements, let me put them where I want please dont bother. No InDesign is kind of wild here since it's trying to aligns stuff even if I disable snapping and all such stuff. It's like Gollum, "Myyy precious alignement, let me heeelp you with that"...

Why o why is everything so slow again? Even on a brand new i7 MBP the projects become incredibly slow when adding some stuff, if I open the same project in CS4 everything is blazin again. This especially occurs when running stuff from a network location, which by the way is a VERY common wey to work in the advertizing agency world.
For general speed issues in CS5 you could try turning off live screen display (Edit > Preferences > Interface > Option > Live Screen Drawing > Delayed), turning off live preflight and keeping the pages and links panels closed when you're not using them.

Possible to turn OFF "Rolling Shutter Ripple" correction in CS5.5 Warp Stabilizer?

Is Rolling Shutter Ripple redcution on by default in CS5.5 Warp Stabilizer? Can I turn it off?
I am having some strange results trying to stabilize some night-time astro timelapse sequences I shot from a moving car. There seems to be some warping and "zooming" of parts of my frame, regardless of which stabilization options I choose -- motion, no motion, scale-crop-rotate, subspace, etc. I've tried every combination possible, including the various border options. The only thing I can think of, at this point, is that the Rolling Shutter correction function might be struggling to deal with frames shot from a moving car at 4/10ths of a second at night. Is there any way to turn off the rolling shutter compensation?
Thanks!

Thanks Jim.
The source stitched 176 frames for my test are about 1gb. So trying to get to the bottom of it without someone having to dl them (and it will take a while to put them up). The 8 frame version shows the same effect happening, just exaggerated. But its a fair call to assume maybe it would not happen with enough information to work with.
The original http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7070604/full_ae_1080.mov I had tried at the time using detailed analysis as well to see if it fixed the issue, and the results were very similar.
I'd also found that using subspace warp instead of PSR (position, scale rotation), or even just P (position) seemed to generate some additional warping there in the output, and certainly for my footage did not result in making it better.
However, I have re-run the full footage starting from frames not a movie using detail analysis and subspace warp since you running that over the originally processed 1080 footage seemed to do a pretty good job.
The results are here : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7070604/full_ae_1080_warp.mov?dl=1
You can see the warp is really messing it up, and the zooming is not fixed. Left hand side easiest place to see it.
Note I've found putting ?dl=1 on any of the links actually downloads them for anyone having issues with it simply playing in their browser. The way I am visiually checking any of these for issues (as many are at 1fps) is to load them into quicktime, change it to View, loop. Then In quicktime 7 holding FFWD. In quicktime 10 hitting forward until it runs at 8x. Looping at 8x is where you can really see the issue.
The files I had not broken out seperately that are in the source files upload were the results in after effects just using the 8 frames. Here they are seperately.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7070604/1080_rez_p.mov?dl=1
Position only.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7070604/1080_rez_psr.mov?dl=1
Position scale rotate.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7070604/1080_rez.mov?dl=1
Unstablized.
I presume even with subspace warp you get the same results or worse using these 8 frame files.
If you ignore the extra warping/twisting in the new file, you have the same results as the original http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7070604/full_ae_1080.mov?dl=1
played at 8x. The easiest place to see it is the mid left side where you can see it zooming in and out. The fact that it really only starts happening a 3rd the way through makes me think its simply not dealing with the changes in zoom, or the later pan changes in the source file. It wierd the photoshop processed version comes out fine though.
I was really hoping it was a case of, "ah, I see why it can't deal with those 8 frames, it really needs a manual tracker/stablizer doing x,y,z" But of course I'd be even happier with a tweak to the automated warp stabilizer.
If I do a 2nd run on the sample file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7070604/full_ae_1080.mov I notice selecting P, or PSR does not fix it. Selecting Perspective or Subspace (which probably includes perspective) seems to go a long way and have a similar result.
Leads me back to thinking selecting subspace on the original footage just warps it, selecting P or PSR fixes all but the zooming thing, and then reprocessing with perspective is tackling the persective in isolation which it could not effectively do before. I don't know if that is because you cannot select P&R without S scale. Or because AE's perspective adjustment cannot work effectively with images that have scale variences in them or ?
I've now run the ouput from a frames start via P and PSR. Brought them back in and prosessed with subspace and P and PSR. Results seems to be no better. There is some special sauce here somewhere with the reprocessing. Maybe its the codec I am going out to in the middle, maybe its the aspect ratio, maybe its ???
Might be time to u/l the full source files I guess.
Thanks for sticking with me.
