Different measurements between ruler tool and marquee tool?

I'm using Photoshop Extended CS 5
Why are there two different measurements?
I positioned guides on an image for measuring purposes. I have Snap to Guides on. I used the Ruler Tool snapping to one guide and I extended a straight line to the other guide (Shift key pressed). The Ruler Tool read 712 pixels.
I then used the Marquee tool to snap to the guides and it read 720 pixels.
Which one do I believe?

Where? In the Info panel? If so, did you read the W (width), and not the X (horizontal pixel position)?
I just did what you said and got consistent measurements.

Selection Tool and SubSelection Tool and ActionScript

If I have a movieclip with ActionScript in it, I need to
toggle between
Selection Tool and SubSelection Tool to view the code as if
the movieclip
has two dimensions in which I can place two different codes.
What is the purpose of this?
Which code has precedence?
Can these codes be in conflict?

I do not know what is attaching script and placing it on the
timeline
I have a one-frame clip created using Insert--NewSymbol
Then I select this mc from the library, open the Actions pane
and type the
code.
Next time I open this mc and I the Actions pane may show
nothing, unless I
press Selection Tool and SubSelection Tool

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

Why does the type tool and note tool close my InDesign program?

Install the CC Desktop app, or try Help > Updates....
If all else fails, you can try Crash | Launch, selecting Type tool, but there are other bug fixes in the update.

Request for JCOP tool and gpShell tool download URL

Hi friends,
I am not able to get JCOP tool from any downloadable site. If any one have JCOP tool and other tools related to Java card pls send me to my email id [email protected]
Or pls send me the valid URL to download those tools.
regards,
dhaya.

Deborah,
It would have been helpful if you had posted here with Firefox, instead of IE; that way we would have seen the Firefox user agent. Based upon the cut off description you posted in the Topic field, your problem is likely caused by a modified user agent that the addons website doesn't understand.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
Then restart Firefox

Global Chord Track and Marquee Tool

Hi there,
I wanted to select some Chords on the global chord track, but the marquee tool doesn't seem to work here. When i click & drag (with the marquee tool, of course!), no marquee will draw, but the first chord that i touch is selected and pulled away from it's position.
I consider this a bug, but maybe it's a feature - can somebody help me?

Bump.
No ideas, anyone?

Marquee tool and shape tool not working properly

I have Photoshop CS five, and today while working in it, the behavior of all of my tools changed.
Tools are now defaulting to “select from center” mode, which normally requires holding down the option key.
As another clue, if I create a marquee selection, as soon as I release the mouse button the Marquis tool switches to “intersect with selection” mode.
I quit Photoshop and deleted all of my Adobe Photoshop preferences, however when I relaunched Photoshop the problem was still there.
I thought maybe my option key was stuck down, but when I tried typing in stickies, characters typed normally, so my option key is not stuck in the down position.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Thank you for your response.
I actually spent some time with Adobe tech support working on the problem. You are correct it was a bug; they had me update my Photoshop AND delete this file from my preferences folder: com.adobe.Photoshop.plist — those two things did the trick.
Thanks for the help!

Path/Shape tool and Hand tool are awful in CS6.

We recently upgraded to CC at work and I do love the idea. Hypothetically, what could be better? Sadly, CC comes with CS6 which doesn't shine so well. Photoshop in particularl is hindering me and slowing down my productivity. Therefore I am sharing my thoughts and hoping something will get done.
Paths/Shapes in CS6 are absolute trash. As an illustrator, I use these tools frequently on a daily basis. It used to be rapid and easy. Now, when I undo more than one stage I have to reselect the path, so that's +1 click per mistake.
I used to love the expanded pathfinder view, of the shapes/pen tool. Now it's contained in a drop-down which feels very dumbed-down and is +1 click EVERY time I need to use something in there. REALLY AWKWARD and a complete pain to use. Especially if I select the wrong draw mode. Why is there not even the option to use the old expanded view, or a PATHFINDER PANEL added to Photoshop for 'traditional' users/illustrators?
Seeing as that hasn't changed for as long as I can remember... I imagine that it is annoying a lot of people. I don't know how you thought it would be good to change that outright without even phasing it out gradually or offering the original view as well. Terrible. Don't even dare tell me to draw my paths in illustrator. Worse still, the infinitely useless marquee tool keeps the original expanded view! So it's not even like it couldn't have been done. Just. Annoying.
Also the Hand tool is a right pain. Are you seriously telling me I can't scrub freely? Outside of the 'frame'?? That's retarded. Even if an imported layer is larger than my document bounds and the 'frame' I still can't even scrub outside of it?
I've been a loyal user of photoshop for over 10 years and this is the worst update I've seen in all that time. There are great things happening, with the content aware stuff and better GL processing etc etc. Sadly, tried and tested features are being wiped out as you try and turn photoshop into one giant DESIGN button.
Sorry for the massive rant. I had real high hopes for CS6 and to be honest, I'm moderately disappointed.
I couldn't figure out where on earth to post this as I couldn't find a feedback button in photoshop. Which may also be a great idea to consider.

Apologies for the triple post but this is still frustrating me.
I don't understand why Adobe would do something that slows down long-term Photoshop users so much!
When I am on the path selection tool, the little check mark to deselect all paths is gone. Why? It was one tiny button that didn't even add clutter and was impecably useful.
Now, if I'm trying to add to my path or subtract from a path, the minute I switch my pen to this mode, the whole shape layer abides by that rule. So my existing path is inverted if I select subtract, etc.
Why does the pen tool now control paths in the same way as the path selection tool? I thought that was the ENTIRE POINT of the path selection tool. For selecting and modifying a paths properties. Any modifiers applied to the pen should be strictly for once you draw with the pen? Again. More clicks, more undos and more workarounds to figure out. All of which seem much slower and more convoluted than every previous version of the CS.
Also, where have the transform controls gone from the path selection tool? Once again, another click. Right click > free transform. Who thought that would be smart? Works for some but not me for a second.
These bulky, childish cursors are annoying some of my colleagues too. Even precise cursors are now massive. Where have sleek, 1px thick cursors gone? Why have we got these chunky horible things that look like they're from the Sims or something?? I'm not playing a videogame. I'm working. I feel like a school child with these hilariously over-sized pointers.
It's not even like a fix for these issues is needed. Simply revert back to the method which was practical and useful? With some of the new additions like the rubber band and illustrator style-stroke... All great stuff, if applied to the *real* path tool. Not this lame excuse of one. Why did you got screwing with what WAS one of the most versatile tools in photoshop? I can only hope this is the first stage of a major upgrade in this tool.

Photoshop CS6 crashes when using burn tool, crop tool, and dodge tool?

Turn off OpenGL in the prefs and update your graphics driver before re-enabling it.

Selection tools and path tools similiar to Auto

I use AutoCAD a lot at my work and the selection tools/methods in that program just beat the heck out of illustrator's. Adobe should adopt some of those: select last, select previous, selection groups (not Groups as they already have, but just groups for selection purposes only).
Also, illustrator could use and TRIM and EXTEND tool similiar to AutoCAD's. EXTEND extends one or multiple lines to another; trim trims one or multiple lines to another line.

CS4 Control of Selection tool and Cropping tool errors in Windows 7

The cropping tool and some selection tools seem to work poorly in my Windows 7 machine. How about yours?

They work fine here too. Possibly resetting the prefferences would cure the problem. I'd give it a try especially if the tools had worked then stopped.

Extract tool and Turbulence tool

I have recently purchased C.S.6,and find that the Extract tool has vanished as also the Turbulence tool in Liquify.Am I doing something wrong?

Hi there
With the recent update to Photoshop CS6, several tools and features were modified or removed - two of them being the Extract filter and the Turbulence tool.
The Extract filter has been replaced by the Refine Edge feature in Photoshop CS6 (source). This is a very powerful non-destructive alternative to the Extract filter in previous versions of Photoshop.
The Turbulence tool has unfortunately been elimitated in this version of Photoshop (source).
You can read more about the new Extract tool and watch a few tutorial videos here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/where_did_the_extract_filter_go_in_p hotoshop_cs5-12e7w3
Cheers!

Different stock between Acount view and Plant stock in MM03

Hello Experts,
In MM03 Acount view, I found the Total stock is 1, but in plant stock view, I found the stock is Zero.
There is not really any physcial invnetory so it must be a problem on the report.
And on mm03 that it was only on the finacial view screen that stock showed, it does not show on the normal stock screens.
What cause this difference? and How to clear the stock from the financial view?
Thanks

Hi
Please run MB5K for the problem material. If it shows difference, then there might be inconsistency between accounting stock and plant(storage location) stock. If that is the case, physical inventory can't help. The correction(direct table update) is necessary and can only be done by SAP.
Hope the information helps.
Regards,
Polly
