Floating inactive windows behind photoshop

I work on Mac and CS6.  My inactive images float BEHIND Photoshop, forcing me to minimize PS to access these windows.  How do I get these inactive images to stay on top where I can easily access them

Uncheck Open documents as Tabs in Preferences > Interface.

  • Floating inactive photos behind photoshop window in CS6 for Mac

    My inactive photos go behind the active CS6 Photoshop window on my Mac.  This forces me to minimize Photoshop and then get the inactive photos and drag them back into Photoshop. This makes it awkward for layering photos.  Any suggestions how to correct this?

    Good day!
    Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
    Check out
    Window > Tools
    and you could try changing the Workspace under
    Window > Workspace > …

  • Clicking around in photoshop on mac regularly clicks through the window and goes to the window behind it on mac only

    Having an issue on photoshop cc 2014 and the other versions ive tried on mac where when Im clicking around the canvas it periodically clicks through the canvas and goes to the window behind it. Anybody know what could be causing this? Im assuming its a bug

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Need to open all files in  "Float in Window" option

    Does anyone where the setting is so that when I open up a file instead of it opeining in full screen, it floats the image (ie. Window, Arrange, Float in Window)?
    I have looked everywhere...thank you for your help!

    In photoshop cs4 or cs5, Edit>Preferences>Interface and uncheck
    Open Documents as Tabs.
    If you don't use/like the tabs, you may want to uncheck
    Enable Floating Document Window Docking also.

  • How do I permanently cascade windows in Photoshop ??

    Hello
    I need to know how I can permanently set my Photoshop to "cascade" or "float" all my windows that I have open in Photoshop ??
    Is there a way of setting this as a preference instead of always having to go > Window > Arrange > Cascade ??
    Cheers
    Laurinda

    You can turn off the Open Documents as Tabs options in the prefs to get floating document windows.

  • Clicking inactive windows

    Recently I have been having issues with clicking inactive windows. This seems to happen a lot especially when using Photoshop or other CS4 applications. I can see the inactive window, e.g. safari in the background but cannot click on the window. CS4 / other application remains active and the only way I can switch to the other application is clicking on the dock icon, using exposé or Cmd-Tab.
    Has anyone else had these issues at all as it is seriously hampering my productivity and becoming increasingly frustrating.

    Hi Jan,
    Thank you for your reply. Indeed those timer values were not covered in the ISE design guide. We have implemented this timer to tweak the standard design. However we have finally discovered the solution for this issue.
    "authentication timer inactivity 120" was the route cause of the issue. So when a workstation goes to idle, ISE tries to re-authenticate after 2 minutes because of this switch port configuration.
    We have tried to expand the timer to 3600 and it worked, issue fixed. But you will have then every one hour the same result (not a big issue).
    And yes, we have deleted all those timer values to keep the configuration simple as possible. Now we don't have the issue anymore.

  • Is there a way to open an image in a floating, resizable window?

    In previous versions of PDE I could open an image (or for that matter, multiple images) as floating, resizable windows.  Now, images seem anchored.  How can I detact them from the big editing screen, such that I can move them around the computer screen as I could in the past?
    Thanks,

      Open Editor and click Edit à Preferences à General
    Then check the box “Allow Floating Documents in Full Edit Mode”
     

  • XFWM (XFCE Window Manager) hover effect for inactive windows

    I use XFCE and its window manager, XFWM, and I quite like it. The only little thing that XFWM does not do, and that I really would have liked, was a visual effect: When hovering titlebar's buttons, there is usually a little effect. It's just a visual thing, but it also "confirms" which button you're about to click, and - maybe as a Windows user - I'm used to it, and to rely on it to check responsiveness and whatnot.
    Anyways, while XFWM does support such a thing (depends on your theme, actually), it does so only for the active window. Inactive windows, or their decorations/button, will not react to mouse hovering. So I looked into it, and while this isn't supported by XFWM, it's quite easy to change it.
    So I did, if anyone is interested the modified source code is available on this BitBucket repository, and you can also find a PKGBUILD in the AUR.

    You should submit this upstream! Looks like a nice feature to add, imo

  • Can I  kill services running behind photoshop?

    I can see the following services running behind photoshop even after exiting the application.
    VulcanMessageCmd.exe*32
    CS6ServiceManager.exe*32
    SwitchBoard.exe*32
    Can I force close them while bridge or photoshop running? This is my requirement in app-v because when I exit the bridge,photoshop these processes run behind which doesn't allow my virutal bubble to shutdown.
    So please suggest if I can close all these processes even if photoshop is running?
    Actually I killed these processes from task manager but didn't affect photoshop application. But just want to make sure force closing these processes wont break the running application.
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

    No risk in shutting them down when your environment is closed, anyway. They're just helper bunnies that provide access to web services and the Adobe ID and manage updates.

  • Floating inspector window?

    What happened to the floating inspector window?  Is there anyway to get this feature back in the latest Pages?

    Because Pages 5 was knocked up in great haste and they have appalling or no Quality Control.
    The new design fashion at Apple is to get rid of floating Inspectors and imitate Windows instead.
    They don't seem to have anyone independently checking their work. I found it within minutes of opening Pages 5.
    Apple likes to spring its surprises on its users, unfinished, document trashing, bugs and all.

    Windows 7, Photoshop cs6 : I need to reinstall photoshop cs6 that is down on my PC. What is the procedure?

    You shouldn't have to deactivate it if it's the same computer.  Remove photoshop as best you can using Windows Uninstall.  Then reinstall a new copy from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    Make sure you select the same version that you had before (extended or not, same OS, etc).  It shouldn't be an issue if it's the same computer.

    I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and did a migration of the content of the old laptop (also a Mac Book Pro) to the new one. Now I cannot start Photoshop CS6. When I am starting it I have a window "Adobe photoshop CS6 extended" opening requesting a connexion. When I am entering my password for the connexion the software crashes. How can I fix the problem?

    Migrating, transferring or copying is DEMANDING trouble, not just asking for it.
    Always install from scratch, from the original media,

  • Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?

    Can you run a windows only Photoshop plugin on a Mac using Parallels?   In particular a .8BF plugin like PTFilters.8BF  or Super Cubic.

    If you also have a Photoshop version of the Photoshop application, the answer is of course YES.
    Otherwise, the answer is no,
    If you have the CC subscription, then of course you can install a Photoshop Windows version and run your plug-in.  That'll be separate from your Photoshop Mac install..
