Getting GIMP 2.8 to work more like 2.6
There's been a lot new features that change the way gimp works with the new upgrade. Some of them just take some getting used to, but there is one 'feature' that is driving me absolutely nuts.
GIMP keeps forgetting/re-setting the mode I have set for my selection tools. It does it without fail whenever a single undo is made (even if changing the mode was not the action to be undone) and seemingly for a few other reasons as well I haven't quite figured out.
I have looked through the settings, but I can't find out a way to change this. Does anyone have an idea how to turn off this 'feature'?

Ooh, I didn't even know those buttons existed. Cool buttons.
I am not seeing the same behaviour that you're seeing. The mode I select stays selected, regardless if I change tools, undo, and close the GIMP. Which might be because of this:

I think what you're describing is one of my favorite options, that comes disabled (for some reason) by default:
Preferences -> Tool Options -> Save tool options on exit
Does that help?

Quick selection tool in elements 13 doesn't snap to the nearest border area of the photo. Works more like a lasso. Also the add layer button when clicked on only brings up a black layer, not a black mask with a hole where I just cut.
Which OS are you working on?
Please try resetting your tools from Photo Bin flyout menu.
1. Open Photo bin.
2. Click on Fly Out menu
3. Click on option Reset all Tools
4. Relaunch Editor13
and see if it helps.
Thanks,

In CS6, every time I need to preflight, edit, export images from Acrobat Pro I have to try and build a new toolset. The little icons that appear at the top are generally meaningless, as I don't use this every day. Is there a way to make it behave more like previous versions - say CS3?
Why do you have to build a new toolset? Why not, for instance, just click the Preflight button?

Quick selection tool doesn't "snap" to edges. It works more like the lasso tool.
When I try to make a quick selection it doesn't snap to the edges of the objects or the edge of the image.
My apologies - I "drilled down" the Adobe site through CC > Photoshop so I thought that information was picked up. I have found the solution in the meantime - I has set the brush size to very small - so I will mark this as complete.
Thanks for your guidance for future enquiries.

Making InDesign more like Illustrator
I'm not the only designer that wished InDesign worked more like Illustrator. (I am sure the opposite is true too.)
Are there any Plug-ins for ID that can make it function more like Ill?? (shortcut keys, Tools... etc.)
There are many differences between both applications, yet they do the same thing most of the time. The programmers not want to work together??
Imagine if undo, cut, copy paste were changed to different letters? wouldn't that drive you NUTS?!
Plug in 1.
A shortcut tool, A lists of all the shortcut keys, and you can choose, Work like Illustrator/Photoshop/Indesign
Plug in 2.
Masking (Please this is the worst user experience on a computer going)
I can begin to explain how annoying working with images in ID is, it's nothing like illustrator. a plugin to change this experience would be the best thing to happen to ID since it's inception.
Adobe had a choice when they started ID, make it like Quark, or make it like an Adobe product. They leaned heavily on Quarks usability as that was the industry standard. Why Adobe hasn't made it their own yet, I still don't know.
Can we please move forward and make this Suite work together better please?
thanksWith regard to masking, I am referring to the interface. The image must always be in a separate bounding box in indesign. This makes resizing or moving much more annoying. changing the size of the image.. the bounding box, is always 100% even if you change that. Meaning you need to go in and select the image, and then go back and select the bounding box. It's just too many steps.
But yes, your point about why isn't ID -> PS -> Ill - ID
which is what I am asking for.
does anyone have a way of making these 3 apps more like the other?
Copy shortcuts?
Tools?
I don't care if they are all like ID or PS or ILL... i just want the option to have them all more similar...
Like I say, imagine of Undo Cut Copy Paste were not the same, what would you think? -
My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often and while surffing on net it gets very slow ...
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.
Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.

I have similar problem, but mine doesn't sound like a loose screw, more like the battery or vibration component is loose. When I shake the phone left to right abit I can feel that it's around the top area. Very annoying, besides that it works fine. Gonna go to apple tomorrow maybe to ask.
jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Lightroom 5.6 would not open. I only get a flash picture then I get an error message. See below message: [Window Title] Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit [Main Instruction] Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit does not work more [Content] there was a problem making the program no longer work properly. The program is closed and there is a notification if a solution is available.
I may have just solved my own problem. Right after posting this I googled bezel lightroom and found this: Flickr: Discussing The word 'bezel' appears in the taskbar. in Adobe Lightroom
I changed the setting in the view menu and now everything appears to be working fine. I cannot explain why it stopped working before because I hadn't made any previous changes to the view options.
Still am curious about the memory usage, though. -

How do I get the text to flow throughout more then one page.
Hello,
I am currently using LiveCycke Designer to create a scholarship for my company. I created fields for the form and I would like to insert a text to describe the scholarship. When I insert the text, it doesn't flow onto the next page. I've tried creating a subform and clicking "flowed" and "allow page breaks within content". I also clicked auto-fit for the height, but it just makes a line. For the text box, I've clicked "Expand to fit on the height". It is also a dynamic XML Form. Is there anything else I should be doing?
I could always send the file to someone to see if they can figure it out.
Thank you,
NatalieThank you so much !
but the link doesn't seem to work. It says that the URL is not in the correct format for an Acrobat.com document link.

Subject: How do I get the text to flow throughout more then one page.
Here is the corrected form..Even you you set the Subform type to "Flowed" to the subform where the Text box resides, you did not set the Page1 to Flowed (which is the key)..But when I make the Page1 type to "Flowed", all your fields above the Scholrship text boxes' Subform will go one below another.. To fix this, first I have select all the fields and wrap them into a subform and then set the Page1 to Flowed..
