Locked layers shift placement

I've been having this issue while drawing in photoshop. Even though I have a layer either fully locked or locked position, they still shift. I will rotate the image to work on a different angle, and when I rotate back to normal placement my line work shifts either to the left or the right. Anyone else have this issue? and if so is there something i'm missing on how to fix it.

OK.
What version of Photoshop?
What operating System?
Is your video card driver fully up to date from the card maker's site?
So you start with the layer in normal view mode. No rotation. Your layer is locked. You use the canvas rotate tool, hit Escape to jump out of Canvas rotate, and the layer with the line work has lost location?
How much is it moving?
Can you drag out a guide or two as a reference, and perhaps zero the rulers to the guide(s)?
Are there any layer masks involved, and if yes, are they still linked to the layer (Chain icon still visible)
How long have you had this problem, and does it correlate to other events like the addition of hardware, or driver update, or installation of a new app?

How can I find all locked layers (visible or not) and then Unlock All at once?

OK, for anyone who cares here's the scenario.
I was on a tight deadline. I got a massively layered, -- nested folders everything -- .psd
I'm using Photoshop CS 5.5
I only needed the visible layers. So, I go to "Delete Hidden Layers" right? Ooops it was grayed out, I could not use it -- Ahhh that was because of the locked layers...
No problem. Ugh wait.
Then I realized -- in the complicated layer structure I had to go through every single folder, open it, look for a locked layer and unlock it (nested folders inside of nested folders etc.). If the layer was not visible and it was locked, I had to first turn it to visible, then unlock it, and then turn it off again.
Aaaarrggghhh I was on a deadline, and I just didn't have time -- but I had to do it anyway.
This was a painful experience... I'm telling designers from now on NEVER SEND ME A PSD WITH LOCKED LAYERS AGAIN
It would have been so much easier if I could just search for "locked layers", and "unlock all."
Does anyone know of a solution? Probably something I should have known years ago, or maybe a feature request?
Thanks!!!

This feature is now available in Photoshop CS6. Layers panel has a layer filter option that simplifies the workflow and is designers dream come true! Please see screenshots below:

Hidden & locked layers appear in pdfs

For some reason, and all of a sudden, hidden (and locked) layers containing content are showing up in Acrobat conversions.
This is a huge pain: I send a pdf version of a graphic to a client, and they can see every layer, even though I have it hidden & locked in AI CS3.
Is this an Illustrator problem or an Acrobat problem?
Any advice would be MOST appreciated!
Thanks,
Nancy

This has a great deal to do with the PDF format you are saving to. For example, Acrobat 4 format (1.3 I think) is a flat file format. Much like an EPS hidden objects become visible when the file is flattened. Why? I don't know. I've asked for a warning or something to alert the user to hidden objects/layers for a while now with no luck.
However, Acrobat 5 format (1.4+ I believe) is a layered format that supports transparency. Saving to Acrobat 5 or higher should not make hidden objects visible. In fact, they will be included in the PDF but still hidden. Often adding to the PDF file size (kb).
I generally find it best to Save, Show All (Command-Option-3), Delete, Save as PDF. This reduces the PDF file size and ensures nothing will suddenly show itself in the resulting PDF.

Password-lock layers in InDesign

Here's the deal: You have a client asking to give them your native InDesign files so they can update and fix texts.
Is there a way, like a plugin or something, that you could use to lock layers that contains elements you don't want them to edit?
It happens often that you get back a file and they deleted or modified elements, without knowing it (they're not designers...).
Simply locking layers is not enough, the client knows how to unlock layers and "play" with the files...
Plus it'd be a way to secure your work in case you're not making a template for the client and you don't want to show your technique.

At least I now know such plugin doesn't exist. Not sure it'd be popular or not but talked to a couple designers the other day,
they said it'd be really helpful too, they face similar situations with clients not willing to pay for a full job. This doesn't apply to clients who have money to pay for full jobs.
I work with low-budget companies / organizations who're not interested in investing in software or training.
They like, have a license for InDesign and can play around a bit and put out flyers for their office, that's all. They don't even know
they're supposed to pay for fonts so I keep using fonts that are delivered with InDesign. So yes, InDesign is a professional software that some non-professionals can still use a bit. I don't even want to know how they proceed with final files to send to the printers. I guess they (printers) must fix alot!
Working with PDF and commenting is not always possible. When working on a full-job it might be, but when working on a template, it's the client who's going to put the text in the publication, not me. I just prepare a template with styles with a few pages as examples.
That's because humanitarian organizations prefers paying expensive international office staff with no knowledge of graphic design instead of hiring a professional one (locally) to do their jobs. It's total non-sense, but it's how it is and gives us independents some work, even though it's badly paid.

Can I lock Regions in place?

Hi, can anyone tell me if its possible to some how lock regions in place on the arranger so they cannot be moved accidentally?

yes - go to mini menu "region" then select "lock smpte position" carefull this locks to a time position, so if you change tempo the regions will not move.

Import Selected PSD Layers In Place

As a designer, I do a lot of work in Adobe Photoshop, creating the conent, setting up the layout, etc. Fortunately, Muse allows us to import multi-selected layers from a PSD file into Muse. That's the good part. The bad part is that each layer has to be placed on the Muse 'document' individually. I would love to see Muse allow the end-user to import multiple layers from a PSD file and place ALL of them on the Muse page in the same order as in the PSD file and in the same PLACE (horizontally and vertically). Right now, it somewhat like building the page twice: once in Photoshop and once in Muse. I'd rather, if possible, create the total layout for a page (or at least for a Master Page) in Photoshop and then IMPORT that page in one shot, having all layers in place in Muse so that, once in Muse, it looks exactly the same as the layout did in Photoshop without having to individually place each layer in Muse.

nevermind found it....

Flex 3 Item renderer in List dissapear and shifted place

I successfully added ItemRenderer in my List but whenever I scroll down to the bottom and scroll up again. The ItemRenderer in the List would be either gone or shifted places.
I have search up on possible solution but they doesn't seen like working. I tried to put dataChange=”validateNow()” in the ItemRenderer but it doesn't work. I read something about useVirtualLayout="false" but it seen like my List doesn't have useVirtualLayout ?

Hi Alex,
I've read your blog but I still could find the solution.
I tried to override the set data but it is not working. Whenever I scroll to the bottom and move up again, all the buttons are gone.
Please advise me on this.

Flash cs4 deletes frames on locked layers

Hello!
I have a problem. While I am drawing, and deleting while all other layers are locked except the one I draw on,
flash deletes frames from the locked layers on the timeline randomly.
It is very annoying, because its a bug, and sometimes I need to redraw a lots of my works.

I am having this EXACT same error message, but it is happening whenever I make a movieclip within a fla file. Once I rotate through the error the movie clip appears as only an outline box on my stage, although opening the button (along with the error showing up again) is viewable and editable. Anything I try to do with the clip...edit, move, anything... the error pops on my screen repeatedly.
This all started after I had a major crash and had to reinstall my system. My registration of CS4 Design Premium was messed up so I ran the Flex Licensing app as suggested by the Adobe site. All other programs work fine... just Flash is messed up. HELP!
P.S... I did try the deletion of prefs, etc as suggested here... that did not work. Also, the file I am working on works fine on another computer running the same version of flash, so it has to be related to a missing or corrupted file I'm guessing, but I don't know which one. I even uninstalled and reinstalled flash to no avail.

After 10 days I finally found the solution that worked on twelvestone.com

Here's the solution if you're on a Mac running 10.5.X or later...
QUIT Flash (don't CLOSE the window - QUIT the app completely (Flash menu next to the apple menu > "Quit")
Browse to Macintosh HD/Users/"your user name"/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Completely delete the folder called "Flash CS4" or "Flash CS3", depending on which version you're using. This means empty the trash.
Re-launch Flash app - should be good to go.

Caps lock and shift not recognized from a usb or virtual keyboard on the Mac

Caps lock and shift not recognized from a usb or virtual keyboard on the Mac client. You have to use the native keyboard or bluetooth keyboard.

Hi,
nswint, it seems that we have to do as you described.
Corey, I have the remote desktop client installed on a iPad Air, I can input capital letters via the on-screen keyboard within the remote desktop session that we can activate by a tap on the keyboard icon in the connection bar.
Thanks.

How do I lock layers in a fillable pdf when sending via email?

Hi,
I created a form with several layers. When you click SUBMIT to MANAGER I have it submiting to the manager, but only the text boxs stay visible and not the text in the layer. Is there any way to lock the visible layer when submitting?

How about if the form was created in Adobe but was Reader enabled to be used by clients that have reader? Is there a script I can run on my submit button that locks the layers? My text fields and check boxes stay but the layered text disapears

My iPod Nano FM is locked in one place and I cannot move the dial to the right past 90.0

Sorry typo it had a 30 pin place to plug in the iPod Nano

Locked Layers in CS3

upon opening a jpeg and finding it locked I unlock by using new layer from background. But even on this unlocked layer I can not use paint brush. I can use the lasso and edit/fill but can't paint on the layer. Nothing happens with the paintbrush. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... thanks

Background layers transparency is always locked because they do not support transparency. All pixels are 100% opaque. If you can not paint on a background check the tools option bar make sure blending mode is normal and opacity and fill 100% foreground color is good and if you have a tablet the pen control icons are in a good state.

Locked layers

I'm working on Ai 5s and i can't move items from one layer to the next - it's marked as locked layer even though it's not locked

shirinachum,
it's marked as locked layer even though it's not locked
Marked how, and what if you unmark it as such?
For persistent strangenesses, you may start from the top of the following list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

"Locking" layers view in InDesign

I'm not even sure how to describe this, so forgive me if there's something out there than answers this question.
I work with layers in both photoshop and illustrator quite a bit, mainly because I work with things that have displays and those displays depend on different settings. When I have just one or two graphics it's easy enough for me to flatten and use jpegs but oftentimes I have probably 20 layers/images in one file.
What I'm encountering with this is that sometimes my InDesign updates and uses whatever happens to be visible at the time, so I end up with 20 pictures that are all alike. Now, I do know that I can go in and manually update each linked image, but again, that's a time consuming thing when the deadline is super tight.
So...is there a way to make sure that the layer view of a particular image STAY that particular view?
Thanks!

Thanks ... that worked partially for me ... it appears that all columns have to remain the same width unless you drag one column to adjust it (but doing that does not lock the width for that column for later).
