I Want to Rotate Marquee Selection Outline

Is there a way to make a selection using the marquee tool, and then rotate the marching ants so the sides of the selection are not parallel to the borders of the image? Can this be done with either or both marquee tools? I'm using Elements 10 and Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 platform. Thanks.

Perfect! Thanks so much for the answer and the quick reply.

Does Illustrator have an equivalent to Photoshop's rectangular marquee selection tool?

I am trying to select just a piece of an image in an Illustrator file to copy and re-scale, but I can't find the equivalent to Photoshop's rectangular marquee selection tool. Is there such a tool? Otherwise, I guess I can make the edits in photoshop and place in illustrator. Thanks!

There are workarounds, but if you want to do yourself a favour, just do it in Photoshop or another Raster application.

When pressing Enter/Return to commit a marquee selection the Feather box turns white for input!?

When pressing Enter/Return to commit a marquee selection the Feather box turns white for input (and I'm not trying to chage the feather values)!?
Pressing Enter/Return should commit the selection but it doesn't why? I have not changed any short-cut preferences in PS CS6.
When I use the Marquee or Lasso tool and make a selection and I'm happy with the selection, I press the Enter (PC)/Return(Mac) and the the "marching ants" should disappear...
this has always worked until today!?
Now, when I press the Enter key, the Feather box (next to the Anti-alias) on the upper left corner goes from grey to white and wants me to change the value?

I was not able to reproduce the behavior you mentioned, though I don't normally make a practice of using the Enter key for that function (I tend to double-click to close the selection).
Nor could I reproduce the behavior by holding down a modifier key.
Have you tried restarting Photoshop?
Rebooting?
Resetting Photoshop's preferences to defaults?

I have been noticing that when using the computer the mouse keeps going in places where I really do not want and just now select the sentence without I have done anything. Sometimes goes to places like bookmark or open tabs in website when I am reading a page.
Also I have noticed opened windows that I have not opened.
I have verified the sharing folder and also the remote access but it not let me turn it off.
Also I have add a password to my computer and even using the same one it looks like is not working.
The I photo stopped working, Mac Mail does not let me add rules (this is from one day to the other)
The computer is mine, the internet I use is payed by me with a password. I did not give permission to anyone to use my computer or share my files.
In system preferences in the sharing folder is showing everyone and staff.
My computer is private I do not own a company and I do not have a network set up in my house.
I had my photos removed from my computer and even after trying to reinstall I photo and fix the Mac Mail is not working.
I am receiving emails saying that I have sent emails to people that I do not know and including in a time where I am working and not using the computer.
Any suggestions in how to fix this issue?
I really appreciate.

With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

Want to have own selection screen in HR-ABAP report using LDB

Hi experts,
        I am working on HR-ABAP report using LDB pnp and infotypes..But, here we get the built in selection criterion..but I want my own selection screen to be displayed..whats the solution for this??? Is it possible to create my own selection screen instead of default one..and how???
Please help me..its very urgent..

Hi,
chk this out:
Create Report Categories
In this step, you define the report categories and determine the layout
   of the standard selection screen for these report categories. You can
   create report categories for programs or queries that are based on the
   PNP or PNPCE logical databases.
The definition of report categories is divided into two sections:
o   In the Change Report Category view, you define general attributes
       such as sort order, input fields for date, and so on.
o   In the Change Selection Criteria view, you define which selection
       fields of the logical database should be avaliable on the selection
       screen.
Example
You want to set up your system so that your employees can only start
   evaluation reports for Payroll if they use a payroll area. Within a
   payroll area, you should be able to select according to personnel
   number. Additional selection criteria should not be possible and you
   should not be allowed to enter a sort sequence.
Standard settings
The standard system already contains report categories. You can find the
attributes of the report categories in the table.
Note the following five report categories in particular:
o   Report category ' ' is the SAP default report category for
    programs that are based on the PNP logical database.
o   Report category PNPCE is the SAP default category for programs that
    are based on the PNPCE logical database.
o   Report category '00000000' is the customer-specific default category
    for programs that are based on the PNP logical database.
o   Report category '0PNPCE' is the customer-specific default category
    for programs that are based on the PNPCE logical database.
o   Report category __X2001 is the default category for Queries that
    are based on an InfoSet of the PNP LDB.
o   Report category QUEPNPCE is the default category for queries that
    are based on an InfoSet of the PNPCE LDB.
The default report categories are used when a report is called if
    the report has not been assigned a report category.
Parameters and Options for Report Categories of the LDB PNP and PNPCE
Parameters and Options in Screen Area General Data
   If you activate this parameter, you can only enter data on the data
   selection period if you use reports that have been assigned. The
   same date entries are then used for the person selection as for the
   date selection.
o   Matchcode allowed
   If you activate this parameter, you have use of a Matchcode
   pushbutton (search help) if you use reports that have been assigned.
   This pushbutton enables you to perform the person selection.
o   Sort allowed
   If you activate this parameter, you have use of a Sort pushbutton if
   you use report that have been assigned. This pushbutton enables you
   to define a sort order before you execute the report.
o   Organizational structure allowed
   If you activate this parameter, you have use of an Org.Structure
   pushbutton if you use reports that have been assigned. This
   pushbutton enables you to perform the person selection.
   Note:
   For more information about these options, see the online
   documentation under this path:
   SAP Library -> Human Resources -> Reporting in Human Resources
   Management -> Standard HR Reports -> Report Selection Screen in
   Human Resources Management.
Parameters and Options in Screen Areas Data Selection Period/Person
Selection Period/Payroll Area/Period/Year
o   Options for data selection period and person selection period (key
    date and so on)
    Here you define which options for date and person selection are
    available for reports that have been assigned.
o   Options for payroll area/period/year
    Here you define which options for selection using payroll
    area/period/year are available for reports that have been assigned.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Selection View
o   Type/Name
    This parameter enables you to use selection views to define report
    categories. You use the selection view selected here to determine
    which fields are available in the Dynamic Selectionsy.
Note:
    You create selection views for the PNP and PNPCE logical databases
    in the Object Navigator (SE80):
    1. Start the Object Navigator (SE80)
    2. Choose Workbench -> Edit Object.
    3. Choose the More... tab page and the Selection view on this tab
    page.
    4. Choose Create.
    5. In the Create Selection View dialog box, choose the For any
    tables option.
    6. In the Name of view field, enter a name for your selection view.
    7. In the Tables dialog box, enter the name of the table from which
    you want to use fields.
    Note:
    When you enter the table name, observe the naming convention in
    Personnel Administration:
    Infotype number: nnnn -> table name: PAnnnn
    8. Choose Continue.
    9. In the Functional groups area, define functional groups by
    assigning a name and a number.
    10. Assign fields from the selected tables to the functional groups
    by entering the number of the desired functional group in front of
    each field.
    11. Save your entries.
For more information about adjusting the dynamic selections using
your own selection views, see the online documentation under the
following menu path:
SAP Library -> Human Resources -> Reporting in Human Resources
Management -> HR Standard Reports -> Report Selection Screen in
Human Resources Management -> Enhancing the Selection Screen -
Dynamic Selections.
If you do not want to offer dynamic selections, make the following
settings:
-   LDB PNP: In the Selection view field, enter PNP_NO_FREE_SEL.
-   LDB PNPCE: Leave the Selection view field empty.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Data Selection Period/Person
Selection Period/Payroll Area/Period/Year
o   Available input parameters, date or period entry (today, key date,
   all, and so on), and standard value.
   Using the Standard value option, you define which of the selected
   options is shown.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area CE Selection Fields
o   CE selection fields (external person ID, grouping reason, grouping
   value)
   Using the options in this area, you define whether the external
   person Id, grouping reason, or grouping value are available on the
   selection screen.
   Note:
   These parameters are only relevant for you if you implement
   Concurrent Employment (see also note 517071).
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Selection view
o   Dynamic selections as dialog box
    If this switch is set, you can call the dynamic selections as a
    dialog box.
o   Dynamic selections active
    If this switch is set, the dynamic selections of the logical
    database are active at the start of the report.
Note that the following combinations are possible for the last two
    options mentioned:
Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: inactive/inactive
    Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: inactive/active
    Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: active/inactive
Activities
1. Choose Edit -> New entries.
2. Enter an abbreviation and a long text for the report category.
    The customer name range for report categories is 0-9.
3. Select the For the PNPCE logical database checkbox, if you want to
    create a report category for a program or for queries of the PNPCE
    logical database.
4. In the General Data screen area, choose the desired options.
    If you want to use selection IDs, you must have first created and
    grouped selection Ids. The IMG path to do this is given in the
    parameter description section.
5. In the Data selection period/person selection period or Selection
    period screen area, choose the desired options.
6. In the Selection view screen area, choose the desired options.
7. In the CE selection fields screen area, choose the desired (only
    possible for report categories of the LDB PNPCE).
8. Save your entries.
9. Choose the subactivity Permitted selection criteria.
10. Choose Edit -> New entries.
11. In the Select option field, use the input help to select each field
    that should be available on the selection screen.
12. Select the checkbox in the 1.page column, if you want this selection
    field to be available directly when you call the selection screen.
Further notes
13. If you want to copy entries, you still have to enter the selection
    parameters again in the subsequent screen.
o   If you create the report category '000000000', a selection screen is
    generated according to report category '00000000'for all reports for
    which a report category has not explicitly been assigned.
Assign Report Categories
In this step, you assign a report category to your reports.
Example
You have created your own report, for example ZPCTEST1, and would like
    it to have the selection screen that corresponds to that of the
    evaluation report for Payroll, which is assigned to report category
    '__M00001'.
    Assign report category '__M00001' to the report.
Requirements
You must have defined the Report Categories.
Standard settings
SAP Standard Reports:
In the standard system, reports are assigned a report category. If you
    want to override these assignments, perform the activities described
    here. If you want to assign report categories to standard reports using
    SE38, this represents a modification.
Customer-Specific Reports:
For reports you have developed yourself, you can either assign report
    categories by performing the activities described here or directly in SE38.
Recommendation
Only assign a report category if you have created your own reports or if
the selection screens in the standard system do not meet your
requirements.
Activities
1. Choose Edit -> New entries.
2. Perform the required assignment using the Program name and Report
   category fields.
3. Save your entries.

Yes of course its Photoshop. Cut the person out copy to clipboard paste onto toe brick wall document and texture the layer using a displacement map for the brick wall. Look for Photoshop tutorials on using a displacement map.

Want to use ldb selection screen with select queries

I want to use ldb selection screen with select queries since ldb having performance issue .How can I use the fields of the dynamic selection of LDB in the select queries

Hi,
Check the code snippet below: Here 'XXXX' is the table for your select query.
DATA L_DS_CLAUSES TYPE RSDS_WHERE.
MOVE 'XXXX' TO L_DS_CLAUSES-TABLENAME.
READ TABLE DYN_SEL-CLAUSES WITH KEY L_DS_CLAUSES-TABLENAME
                             INTO L_DS_CLAUSES.
SELECT * FROM XXXX
          WHERE field1 IN ...
           AND   field2 ....
           AND (L_DS_CLAUSES-WHERE_TAB).
      PUT XXXX.
ENDSELECT.
You can also try using the FM 'RS_REFRESH_FROM_DYNAMICAL_SEL' passing SY-CPROG in curr_report and 'M' for mode to get the dynamic selection screen values.

Master objects wanting to be made selectable

I've applies a picture to my master page to make a watermark for all the pages of my document. This image is about as big as the entire page. The trouble arises from the fact that now, whenever I double-click anywhere in my document, rather then selecting a word, it drops down a sheet asking if I want to make the object selectable. No! All I want to do is select individual words! Is there any way to get Pages to stop thinking that I want to edit the master image?

I want to rotate images on refresh

I work for a newspaper, we want to rotate ads on refresh at random. We are looking to stop using our current programmer. We just need to figure this out. I want it to rotate like THIS. Is there a fairly simple way to do it in dreamweaver?

In the following example let's assume you have 4 images in your root directory sequentially numbered 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg
Use php to create an array of the file names and then randomize the array. Then simply echo the results of the random array.
On page.php put this:
<?php
$input = array("1", "2", "3", "4");
$rand_banner = array_rand($input, 4);
?>

<img src="<?php echo $input[$rand_banner[0]]; ?>.jpg" /><br />
<img src="<?php echo $input[$rand_banner[1]]; ?>.jpg" /><br />
<img src="<?php echo $input[$rand_banner[2]]; ?>.jpg" /><br />
<img src="<?php echo $input[$rand_banner[3]]; ?>.jpg" />

If you have more images but you'd like to limit the number that's rotated on pageload then change the limiting number in the array_rand function to correspond to the number of random images you'd like displayed. Let's say you want to only display 5 random images out of 10 possibilitites...
Change this:
<?php
$input = array("1", "2", "3", "4");
$rand_banner = array_rand($input, 4);
?>
To this:
<?php
$input = array("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10");
$rand_banner = array_rand($input, 5);
?>

How to make a rotating Item Select for a GUI design

Hello, I am working on this non profit GUI project and need to make a high-fidelity prototype with the graphics I created. Most of my experience was in web design and i usually used Axure RP pro for making prototypes which works great for web but this GUI is clearly for a video game and thus some of the way menus work are a bit more sophisticated and "flashy" so I decided to use well, flash. Thing is I have very little experience with the action script side of flash and i just need to get a working prototype out asap, I don't have to make anything work perfectly, just enough to get the point across
My question is on this rotating item select panel. How would i go about using those glowing orange arrows to rotate the whole set of items around the "equip" button when pressed? and how would I program each item to scale up when it snaps as the selected item? And of course the stats change when the item snaps as well.
I greatly appreciate any help that can be provided on this.

buttons have a number of limitations that movieclips do not have. the only benefit of buttons is that they require no coding for up,over,down states while movieclips do.
anyway, if your up arrow is up_arrow, down arrow is down_arrow and your guns are gun_0,gun_1 etc:
// assign x0,y0 etc to match the 5 positions of your weapons.
var index:int = 0;
var positionA:Array = [ [x0,y0],[x1,y1],...,[x4,y4] ];
// click listeners that call rotateF
up_arrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,rotateF);
down_arrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,rotateF);
// function called when arrows clicked
function rotateF(e:MouseEvent):void{
// loop through each gun
for(var i:int=0;i<positionA.length;i++){
// loop through the gun positions
for(var j:int=0;j<positionA.length;j++){
// find the position of each gun
if(this["gun_"+i].y==positionA[j][1];){
// once the position of each gun is found, determine whether the up or down arrow was clicked
if(e.currentTarget.name=="up_arrow"){
// up arrow clicked, so advance to the next gun position
var nextJ:int=(j+1)%positionA.length;
} else {
// down arrow clicked so go back one gun position
nextJ = (j+positionA.length-1)%positionA.length;
// assign the ith gun the next or previous position
this["gun_"+i].x=positionA[nextJ][0];
this["gun_"+i].y=positionA[nextJ][1];
// reset the scale on the enlarged gun by resetting all.
this["gun_"i].scaleX=this["gun_"+i].scaleY=1;
if(j==2){
// enlarge the 'selected' (ie, middle position) gun
this["gun_"i].scaleX=this["gun_"+i].scaleY=2;
// stop looping through positions. the ith gun position has already been found.
break;

Marquee selection in CS4 "crops" to image edges. How to reset?

In CS3, when you make a large selection using the circular marquee (ie: alt-drag until the selection grows past the image edges), it maintains the full selection. But in CS4, it crops to the edges of the image. Is there an option to fix this so marquees behave like they did in CS3?
See the image below for an example of what I mean:

the_wine_snob wrote:
Thank you for the report. Now, did the Layer (Selected and active), have pixels beyond the borders of the image?
To answer the question, yes. But... drawing a marquee and then dragging it out works irrespective of layer content.
Just checked again:
1/ In CS3, drawing marquee, irrespective of content, retains the circular shape even if exceeding the canvas.
2/ In CS4, irrespective of content, marquee crops to the two sides of the canvas with the circular shape that was inside.
3/ In both CS3 and CS4 you can draw a marquee within the canvas and then drag it out
Maybe there's a setting in CS4????
PS - I just cannot imagine any Selection encompassing any area, where no pixels can be selected, as there are none.
Hunt... that doesn't make sense... of course you can draw a marquee / selection without content... It's the copying / cutting /etc. that will be affected...
PS: For some strange reason, i see you're back to 'the_wine_snob'!! At least in the message quote!

Marquee selecting audio region then hitting DELETE crashing Logic

When I marquee select and audio region and hit delete it crashes Logic everytime. Is it a setting I have maybe unknowingly checked off that restricts the use of marquee? It happens when I marquee just audio AND audio+blank space. How am I supposed to trim as I go along?
OK, now it's working, but I'm not going back to the original place where it was happening. Is it possible that one little piece of audio gets corrupted?
This has happened a couple times just like this...I'm halfway through posting a message on this topic and it self-corrects, but then when it happens again I'm kind of scratching my head again.

After further troubleshooting I've realized that the suspicious audio file that prevents the project file from opening is actually not corrupted itself. I can still play the audio file in other media software like Quicktime, etc. with no problem.
This leads me to believe the problem opening the project file lies solely with the corrupted 'documentData' file.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I could somehow open this project file and delete the reference of the troublesome audio file from the project's audio bin?
Well... it really sounds like the project itself is corrupted, that's one of the reasons all project files won't load from a certain point on.
Try this.
Reboot the Mac.
Open the Applications folder and boot Logic from it's icon.
As soon as the Logic Logo/graphic window appears on the screen hold down the control key. You will see a message pop up that says something like "Launch the Core Audio Driver" there will be yes/no choice available... select NO.
Go to the File menu and selct "open" go find your project file and see if it will open. If it does.. delete the audio file in question... however.. I would also look at any plugins you recently installed and are possibly using in this project...this sounds more like a plugin problem rather than an audio file problem, but that's just a gut feeling.
Anyway, if it opens delete whatever you suspect and save under a different name.
Reboot Logic and see if it can load the project.
