Editing in menu pane

I hope there isn't something wrong here.. but after inserting a blank menu, when I drag an image from the project pane to the menu it shows up in a resize box. But when I resize it and let go, I cannot select it again The resize box disappears and clickin on image doesn't restore it.
I can still select it by right click and select but cannot move it even then.
I know I can edit the menu in photoshop but shouldn't I be able to move the image around all I want in Encore . resize repeatedly etc?

Harry,
Are you doing the Menu editing in Photoshop, or in Encore?
In either, do you have the Layers Palette (called Layers Panel in Encore) open. If not, you should, as you can then see things more clearly and also select things more easily.
Thanks, and good luck,
Hunt

[More] Editing in menu pane

I'm creating a menu and working on the buttons, some how I've got to red outlines in the menu now that I can't get rid of. I think its something I've done in photo shop, but when I compare the buttong groups the are all identicle (other than different images and text) yet the 2 red outlines remain.
See them in the included screen shot

Thanks to Jeff and you, I'm good to go.
Harry,
I take that to mean that things are working fine now. Is that correct?
As for a screen-cap, here are the steps for later:
1.) set up your program, whether Photoshop, Encore, PrPro, or other, just as you wish it to appear. Open all Palettes, Panels, Panes, and twirl-open any Layer Set, Bin, etc.
2.) Hit either Prt Sc (name changes per keyboard), or Ctrl-Prt Sc-key (many laptops and custom keyboards). This does a capture of what is on your screen and transfers it to the Clipboard.
3.) In PS, hit Ctrl+N (New Image), and if all is set to default, you'll get a dialog screen asking for the name/location, and it will set the size to match your Clipboard image, and show Clipboard as the Source. Name the New Image, and hit OK.
4.) You'll now get a New Image, named as chosen, with the background color - don't get worried. Hit Ctrl+V (Paste) and that screen-cap will appear as Layer 1.
5.) Crop, annotate, etc., as is needed. Here, I do a Save and allow .PSD into my chosen folder, so I do have any Text Layers, etc. in that file. I remove any Paths, and Flatten (from the flyout on the Layers Palette). Then, I do a Save_As and choose .JPG. I will also resize down, if necessary, but will keep the JPEG compression to a low level - higher "quality" number in the JPEG dialog box.
6.) Sit back and plan on uploading to the Adobe forum.
Simple and I can knock out an edited, annotated screen-cap in about 3 mins., including drawing boxes, or circles, etc.
Good luck,
Hunt

Because I listened to Adobe earlier today about whither uninstalling Elements would affect Photoshop and Lightroom on my computer, Lightroom no longer sees Photoshop in the EDIT IN Menu of Lightroom. I found an article on the help site saying to delete the filecom.adobe.Photoshop.plist, which I looked for, its not there so it can't be deleted. The next step is to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall. This isn't an option because of all the plug-ins and modifications of the work space. Does any one have a better solution?

Can't see "Add or Edit Fields" menu in Acrobat 9 Standard v9.5.2

I am trying to edit the fields of an Adobe form from one of my co-workers. We both are running Acrobat 9 Standard v9.5.2. She is able to see the Forms-->"Add or Edit Fields" menu, while I cannot.
I cannot get this menu item to show? Can someone tell me if there is an option or setting to enable so that I can get to this menu item?
Here is a screenshot of the form:
Here is a screenshot of the Adobe Acrobat version we are running:
Thanks,
Ted

Finally found a work around to my problem. Here are the steps:
(1) The original form. Note missing "Add or Edit Fields" menu item.
(2) Click on Document-->Extract Pages
(3) The following dialog pops up. Since I am only working with a 1 page form I accept the defaults and click OK.
(4) The following window is launched. Now I just save the newly generated form:
(5) Now when I check the Forms menu, I finally see the "Add or Edit Fields" item: Yay!!!!
(6) In checking the Document Properties of the new form, the Application (PScript5.dll) and PDF Producer (GPL Ghostscript 8.15) metadata is still the same as before:
Still don't know why I couldn't get to the "Add or Edit Fields" menu item in the original form. After doing the Extract, now I am able to get to it. At this point that's all I care about right now.
Thanks George for helping me investigate this issue!

Double entry for Photoshop CC 2014 in Edit In Menu

In trying to correct a problem with Lightroom trying to find Photoshop CC 2014 when I clicked on it in the Edit In menu I ended up with two entries for Photoshop CC 2014. And when I click on either one it wants to open as either a PSD or TIFF file rather than than a raw file with the LR adjustments. I have tried reinstalling both Photoshop and LR without any success in correcting the problem. What are my next steps?

Have you installed Camera Raw 8.7? If you have Camera Raw 8.7 and Lightroom 5.7 then you shouldn't get that message asking you to create a copy. But in either case, once the editing in Photoshop is completed a TIF or PSD file must be created. Whichever file type is saved depends on your preference settings. Photoshop is not capable of editing or saving raw image data. By the time the image has been opened in Photoshop is no longer raw image data and must be saved in a different file format.

PS CS6 has disappeared from my Edit In Menu

I loaded CS6 and them removed CS5 to save space. Not Light room 4.1 won't show CS6 in the Edit in Menu.
Do I need to reload Lightroom 4.1?
Thanks
Michael

I think it's more likely you'll need to reinstall CS6....uninstalling CS5 has probably broken the link between Lightroom and Photoshop.

How to Hide "Edit WebPart" menu in SharePoint

Hi,
Actually my requirement is, i want to hide the "Edit WebPart" menu.
How should i do it?
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

There is no property or Attribute on the side of the Webpart Itself which can Trigger not displaying the EditMenu at all. The Menu is built by the Webpartmanager which Displays the "Edit"-Menu. It hides the edit-menu only when the Webpart is in
personalization-mode and "Allow Edit" is set false.
the decompiled part of the SPWebpartManager:
if (!part.AllowEdit && this.PersonalizationMode)
menuItem5.Visible = false;
(meniItem5 is the indexed Item of the EditMenu).
So, you have to do client-side by using some Javascript (which of course could be loaded with your Webpart, giving ist curent ID, checking if page is in editmode and moving up the parents and search for the control, ...)

Missing Menu Pane on the Left-Hand Side of Window

Can anybody help me figure out how I can make the menu pane appear on the left-hand side of the iPhoto window? I can barely navigate through the application without it.

Lightroom " Edit in" menu drop to work on Photoshop is grey out?

Lightroom “ Edit in” menu drop to work on Photoshop is grey out, even though I have my “store preset with this catalog” unchecked. Do I have to reinstall LR?

Your photos are never "in" the catalog. The catalog just points to your images in their folders on your hard drive. Do you understand what smart previews are and how they are supposed to be used? Are your images on an external hard drive that is disconnected from your computer?

[SOLVED] XFCE - Editing Applications Menu

Hi there,
The applications menu seems to update happily in XFCE when i use pacman.. however pacman has placed some items (eg. XMMS) into an incorrect category (in this case "Other").
How can I edit the menu so that XMMS is placed into the "Multimedia" group? When I use the menu editor in XFCE, it allows me to add or remove items from the menu, EXCEPT it has an "include" entry that seems to include another menu called "system"...?
Where can i find this "system" menu??
Many thanks,
KC

Ah ha!
I had found the list of applications in /usr/share/applications and was trying to edit the entry for xmms, but whatever I did it didn't work, so I thought I was being silly and asked if there was a menu config file i had to use...
Turns out that there was an entry in the ~/.local/share/applications that was overwriting my changes to the /usr/share... settings! How frustrating, glad to have got it sorted lol.
Thanks for your quick advice!

Why do external editors i.e. nik plug-ins disappear from the Edit in menu?

Time and time again , after creating external editors in the Edit in menu, they disappear. I've had this happen in LR3 and now in LR4. Does anyone know of this?

daikambu65 wrote:
Corky, I just tried the path you suggested. I moved the files up one level from LIbrary>Application Assistants>Aperture>Plug Ins>Edit to the Plug Ins folder. It worked.
I can now start the NIK plugins either from the pull-down meny under photo in the Menu Bar, or by right-clicking my mouse.
A slight change of subject. I've got the 200-page book, Exploring Aperture. Also have the downloaded .pdf file of the same book. How is it that, on the Apple Support webpage, they have a .pdf book for Aperture 3.4 that is 800-pages? Did anyone else notice that?
Good to hear you got it working.
The 'Exploring Aperture' is the book that came with Aperture 3 in the retail box (in downloadable form). It goes along with the Sample library that was on the install disc and was designed to walk new users through the basics of the program.
The 800+ page PDF is the actual user's manual which describes all aspects of Aperture 3.4 in detail (although there may be some omissions here and there due to updates since 3.4). I read the original version of the user's manual when it was Aperture 3.0 and it is very informative (especially if you like that kind of reading - which I do).
If you do read through and understand the user's manual PDF, then you will know the program well. You can use the Exploring Aperture book but there will be references to the sample library which you won't have unless you have the retail install disc.
Note - there are books you can buy, but none of them really cover Aperture 3.4.x (a couple were updated for Aperture 3.3, but some significant changes were made that - IMHO - don't make buying those books of more value than just reading the user's manual). It took me about a week of reading each evening to complete it.

Mail: why are draft edits in preview pane not saved?

Hi,
when viewing drafts in the preview pane, the preview pane accepts edits, which it doesn't when displaying received mails. However once I highlight another draft in my drafts folder, so that the preview pane shows something else, and then return to the supposedly edited draft, the edits are lost.
Am I just not getting it, or how do you save edits to drafts made in the preview pane. If editing in preview pane is not actually possible, why does it accept edits then?
Many thanks if someone can shed some light on this :-)
p.

D/L Thunderbird but not set it up as active on line program. No new mail settings etc. Most of the old copied file folders were set as "read only" which I understand is the default of backups and causes problems on non rewrite DVD. Not a problem on ex - HD. I do not understand but it seems TB sets up an "APPS DATA" file that it separate from regular data files (but both are in Documents library). One on-line suggestion was to copy old "APPS DATA" into new TB structure ( a replacement) It did not work. Then tried replacing just parts with no better luck.
I only want to open the old files. No desire to going back to TB as working program. Use Chrome and gmail now.
Explorer2 film management program can preview the email in the old file but TB sees it as an empty file.

The "edit in" menu is completely inactive. All plug-ins are visible but in light grey; i.e. not accessible. Any idea how to solve the issue? Fyi: I am using LR 5.7.1 on MacBook with Mawericks.

Jim, that sounds like a good hypothesis. Yes, I am using smart previews. I have my originals on an external drive which is connected. Still, LR can not find them. Do you know how to tell LR where to find the originals? I would like LR to identify the source automatically: if external drive is connected LR should show "original and smart preview" not only "smart preview". Thanks for your help.
