Help; my selections with all tools are proportional

Hi there,
I'm using CS5. I expect the selection starting point to be the upper left corner, and as I drag the cursor the selection area enlarges. However, when I use a selection or crop tool I get a centered selection area, and as I drag the cursor the selection area gets larger on all sides. I know I must have selected a special setting or something but I cant find where to turn it off. PLease any advice would be welcome.
Fred

Are you running 10.6.5 or 10.6.6?
Then probably this Apple caused bug:

  • All tools are blacked out in CS3

    I have looked high and low, and cannot find anything on this subject..I have attached an image to clarify.. but basically all my tools are blacked out and I can't see what the heck they are.. Its like driving with your windshield covered in tar paper.. I'm running CS3 on a dual core Intel PC.
    And I successfully ran CS3 on this PC for the last 3 years, and then all of a sudden it started doing this..and none of the other Adobe products I run are having this problem. Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator, etc..
    This is what I've done so far to no avail.
    I ran the Adobe script to clean up any stray dll's
    After that didn't work I went ahead and completely rebuilt my pc from scratch, reformatted the hard drive and re-installed XP and CS3
    I've cleaned out/trashed my preferences and nothing
    I've gotten all the relevant updates from Adobe for CS3
    I've even installed CS3 on another machine and opened up the same files I work on and it all works fine on other pc's..
    I've attached the image below to show what it looks like.. any help is much appreciated!!

    So I turned the hardward acceleration way down, and went with the windows classic theme and that got me thru most of yesterday..
    But this morning we're back to square one.. ARGHGHGHGHGH
    I do have a custom screen resolution..
    I have two monitors running at 1680 x 1050 pixels..  at the highest color quality - 32 bit..
    When I rebuilt this PC i donwloaded the latest video drivers so those are up to date..
    I do think we're getting close.. it has something to do with the monitors or themes I think..
    But I did run this setup for 3 years and it worked fine..
    And it did break before I updated to the latest drivers..
    What else...hmmm

  • Upgrades with Oracle Tools are really Amazing

    I always hate upgrade with JDev!!!
    Oracle's Webbeans are not fine enough to be used in professional applications so Developers have to custom Oracle WebBeans.
    But when a new release of JDev come out, we have to use it because it fix some bugs but then we are up with some others bugs and wait for the next release.
    Oracle will give us jobs for years. Thank you Larry!!!!!
    For example with the old method populateform, I could add a field to a form and set a cssclass to it, now it seems to be impossible.
    I tried the following code and it doesn't run
    HTMLFormField hffChamp = new HTMLFormField(new HTMLTextElement(rField.getPromptText()), new HTMLTextElement(sOutput));
    hffChamp.setCSSClassName(rField.getCSSClassName());
    aForm.addFieldElement(hffChamp);
    It seems impossible to set a cssclass to an HTMLFormField.
    See public HTMLTableCell(HTMLElement elem, String sClass), ...
    Tomorrow is another day....

    Few years later, same problems... I guess we are not shouting, but if you please read our posts, we would appreciate just one small thing:
    Please leave any message on the topic that you at least read about the problem we have. Just say something like: "OK I read this but do not know the answer at this time, thank you for your patience". And you do not need to do it for all posts. There are some people there trying to solve problem for months, and are reposting the same thing many times.
    By being ignorant, you are getting nothing. I will not be wrong if I say that now I understand why hi-tech jobs are going overseas. We are to be blamed for 'bad' economy
    We, at Wash U, are considering to go with other tools.

  • How can I delete the area which I have selected with Pen Tool?

    Hi,
    I have selected the particular area of my background image, which is just complicated. Now, I would like to delete the selection so that I will copy something else in that blank area. How can I delete the selected area?
    Thanks.

  • How to compare all columns in a SELECT with all columns in a Cursor ?

    Hi All,
    I would like to know if something like this is possible in PL/SQL
    I have a cursor CUR1 which is a SELECT * FROM T1.
    And in my loop for every record found in CUR1 I am trying to retrieve its consecutive record in the table T2. Unfortunately T1 and T2 do not have a primary key so there are duplicates. But if I can compare each column of CUR1 with its respective column in T2, I can find the record. But the question is how ?
    So I tried something like this, but of course this is wrong, but hope this would give you an idea of what I trying
    VAR_T2 T2%ROWTYPE;
    CUR_T1 IS SELECT * FROM T1
    LOOP CUR_TI
    SELECT * INTO VAR_T2
    FROM T2 WHERE
    ‘ALL COLUMNS OF T2’ = ALL COLUMNS OF CUR1;
    So is there a easy way to accomplish this. Thank you, AJ

    As Walter says, this is simply an intersect if you are comparing all the columns.
    However, if you really must do it in a slow by slow, PL/SQL loop (no real valid reason why you would though)...
    DECLARE
      VAR_T2 T2%ROWTYPE;
      CUR_T1 IS
        SELECT * FROM T1;
    BEGIN
      FOR i IN CUR_TI
      LOOP
        SELECT * INTO VAR_T2
        FROM T2
        WHERE T2.col1 = i.col1
          AND T2.col2 = i.col2
          AND T2.col3 = i.col3
          AND T2.colN = i.colN;
      END LOOP;
    END;There is no simple mechanism for just saying "compare all the columns", you will have to specify each one individually in the WHERE clause.

  • Illustrator CS5.5 type not editable, not selectable with type tool

    Hi folks, Working on a poster in Illustrator. Have added area type, using the type tool. Now I'd like to increase the size of one line. I can't select or edit any of the type with the type tool. I moved the type to a new layer, saved, closed Illustrator, restarted my Mac (OS X 10.7.4). Looked in preferences, in case there's an issue there. No luck.
    By the way, I also don't see handles when in the selection tool any more. Don't know if that's related.

    Thanks, Monika! Of course, something simple. It was Show Edges. Show Bounding Box was correctly set.

  • Make selection with pen tool?

    In photoshop, you can create a path with the pen tool and then make that path a selection as if you'd used the lasso tool. How do you turn a pen path into a lasso selection in Flash (CS4)?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Essentially, any path that you drawn in Flash, that you want to use to make a sub-selection of your artwork, has to be pasted onto your artwork layer and the "outside" portion deleted.
    Let's say you imported JPG into Flash of a house, and you wanted to remove the background. First, break it apart so that it's a fill. Then, it can help to draw your manually-drawn pen selection on a new layer above. Once you have traced the house/drawn your selection (making sure it's a closed selection) , copy the lines and paste that onto your layer of artwork. Click outside of the selection and delete the edges.
    One could also decide to fill the drawn selection lines, and use that as a mask for the artwork.
    Flash has fewer of the drawing tools than Photoshop or Illustrator. But even if this doesn't answer your question, there is a way to do what you want.

  • Invert selection with bezier tool

    I traced my subject with using the bezier tool and once I connect all of the points the person disappears. How can I tell Motion to invert the selection where the person stays but the background vanishes?

    hi,
    if you look at the far right buttons in the tool bar you wil see two buttons that might be greyed out. They have mask written underneath them. To create a mask for an object, you select the object you want to mask and then click on the mask tool you want. Click and hold on the first button, a selection pops up. you can choose the rectangle mask, or circular mask or the freehand mask. The second button gives you the option of a bezier tool or b-Spline. All work in slightly different ways to achieve slightly different things. After you have drawn a mask, or a shape for that matter, you can always click on the indiviual points and edit them using bezier tools.
    pressing theB key gives you the shape tool.
    thanks

  • I need help making tables with all my data. What to do with all my Data?

    Hello All,
    Here is the scenario. I have about 10 columns of data. It has Name of Item. Price sold, Shipping Cost, Address and others.
    I want to group all the same items into a separate table with its own totals. There is 100 different items, So i need to split is several tables. Any idea on how to do this? Can It be done in Numbers?

    A variation to Jerry's suggestion:
    You are inquiring about creating 100 tables that produce summaries, 1 for each item. Jerry suggests a single table showing only a summary of your 100 items. This has potential. If you want to see the individual lines displayed above each summary, you may be able to use your original table. This process, however, involves a little work. But it's not unreasonable and may satisfy your needs.
    In your original table create a new line for each item. These lines are basically blank except for the item name and whatever columns you want to summarize. Enter the item names on these lines but follow them with the word " Total". When you sort on the Item column these lines will appear as the last of each item. Then place the SUMIF function in the proper column to obtain your summary.

  • Quick selection & smart brush tools are freezing

    Hello!  As of the past couple days I have had issues using my quick selection and smart brush tools.  Every time I try to use either as soon as I start lassoing part of my image it freezes.  I can't click Command+D, I can't click anything else in my toolbar, I can't open up a new picture.  The only thing I can do is to Force Quit.  I recently downloaded Yosemite for my MacBook Pro and wonder if the issue could somehow correlate with that.  Any ideas?  Thank you!

    Sure does:
    Photoshop Elements stops responding after Mac OS update to Yosemite

  • Help on select with more that one table

    Hi to all,
    I have 2 tables:
    Table1

    tb1Descr      Varchar2(30);
    tb2CodeID    Number(10);
    Table2

    Can You help me to construct a correct select ?
    Thank You and Best Regards
    Gaetano

    Hi Gaetano,
    Brilliant example. ;)
    How can this column tb2CodeID have value 'T' if it is declared as a number in both tables?
    At least I need more clarification.

  • [bug report] Making selection with pen tool causes 'jittery' edge

    When I use the pen tool to create a path, and then make a selection from it and select inverse and delete the background, the result is a very un-even edge not the clean resullt you would expect, however if I make a mask from the same selection it looks fine.
    Steps to recreate
    1. Draw a simple path with the pen tool
    2. Make a selection from the path, with 0 feather and anti alias turned on
    3. Inverse selection (optional, same thing happens if you don't inverse)
    4. Delete the rest of the image
    5. The edge of the image now has an uneven, jittery edge
    compared to mask
    5. Undo the delete
    6. Go to Channel Pallette, and make a mask from the selection
    7. Edge of the mask should be clean like you would expect
    You can exaggerate the jittery effect by adding feather the the path selection

    Ok please Delete this I've sorted it. The blending mode had jumped to disolve.... but I 100% didn't change it to this myself, I wasn't even in the layer pallette at the time

  • I sent my iphone 5 to repair and the UPS Man took it with all accessories, are they gone gone?

    I basicly said everything in the title. My on?off button didn't work as good anymore so i sent the phone in. UPS man came and took the whole Box. I wasn't home personally so i couldnt avoid that
    Are the accessories gone for good, i'll never see them again?

    Ah ,so you are in Europe ( helps to tell upfront as this is a WW forum )
    They will not repair your iPhone they will check it and assuming no user induced damage will send back a replacement refurbished unit  to you ( reason for no accessories )
    There must be a contact number where you arranged the return
    It is possibly going to Eire where Apple seems to ship most EU shipments from
