To see all your tools switch to Expert mode (click the word Expert at the top of the window). Guided and Quick edit have greatly reduced toolboxes.

Rectangular Grid Tool - Guide, Anchor, but NO Intersect?

When using the Rectangular Grid Tool I am starting from the upper edge of the artboard and when moving along the edge I see green indicators stating "Guide" when I am somewhere on the path, and "Anchor" when I am at the edge, "0,0" for instance.
However, I am trying to follow along with a video tutorial, and in the tutorial it shows the same thing EXCEPT that there is AN "Intersect" value in green in the tutorial. The demonstrator verbally mentions the importance of achieving this "Intersect" value several times. So I am wondering why I am not seeing it.
The demonstrator mentions making sure that I have "Smart Guides" turned on, and I DO.
In the video when the demonstrator is hovering over the guide lines with the grid tool it shows two values "PAGE" and "INTERSECT".
On my local machine when I am hovering over the same guide lines with the grid tool it shows two values "GUIDE" and "ANCHOR".
I have looked at the preferences when grid tool is selected and played around with different settings. I have also played around with different snap to settings from main menu, and nothing.
What am I missing?
Here are two images showing what it looks like in the video tutorial, and what I am seeing locally on my machine when trying to duplicate this myself.
VIDEO TUTORIAL SCREENSHOT:
LOCAL MACHINE SCREENSHOT:
Thank you for looking!

The grid of guides in the tutorial screenshot shows no guides along the perimeter of the artboard, so there is no anchor point there, just the artboard; the local screenshot has guides on the perimeter, so the label correctly shows an anchor point in the corner. You would need to go to View > Guides > Lock to deselect Lock so that you can select and delete the offending guides. Smart Guides will then show intersect at the corner of the artboard and page anywhere else along the edge.
Intersect appears where two paths cross without an anchor point.

Where is the tool to select a portion of an image to crop?

I am new to PS cc 2014. Where is the tool to select a potion of an image to crop?

You'll find the Crop Tool on the Toolbar. It might be behind the Slice or Perspective Crop tool.

Zooming whenever I double-click on any margin of pages with Hand Tool or Selection Tool selected

I have used Acrobat and recently upgraded it to Acrobat XI in order to use it with my tablet PC.
But whenever I double-click with my digitizer pen, with Hand tool or Selection Tool selected, on any margin of pages, it zooms in. i.e. it automatically magnifies itself as if I did the same thing with magnifying tool. This happens even when I try to double-click on the textboxes to edit it!
I don't want to zoom it all the time!!!

Try switching off this setting: Edit - Preferences - General - Make hand
tool use mouse-wheel zooming.

I'm trying to do a batch crop in camera raw and there is no dropdown option in the crop tool to select inches or pixels. How can I fix this?

Create an action to do the crop and user the image processor to batch process your RAW files and have it use your cropping action in the process.

Where do I find the JavaScript Tools Guide

I’m fairly new to Adobe scripting. I just downloaded the Photoshop 2014 CC JavaScript Reference,
and in describing ExtendScript’s features, it includes the line,
For details of these and additional features, see the JavaScript Tools Guide,
which it says is installed with Adobe CC at
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit CC 2014\SDK.
It wasn’t there — there’s no such folder on my system. The Javascript Reference goes on to say,
The latest versions of this document and of the ExtendScript Tookit,
can also be downloaded from Adobe Developer Center,
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/.
I followed the above link to the Developer Center, and I couldn’t find it there either.
Where can I find a copy of the latest JavaScript Tools Guide?

I'm wondering is there any way to see what tool is selected in full screen mode?

Question: Is there any way to see what tool is selected in professional full screen mode when tools and windows are hidden?
Here's an example what i mean..i made a sketch
So what i mean is for example you are in full screen mode, and you press "U" to activate Rectangle Tool >>> you see like pop-up or anything similar that shows you what tool is selected.
Thank you!

you need iPhoto v9.2 or Aperture 3.2 to view the stream on your Mac.

Camera RAW start with the crop tool automatically selected?

Is it possible to enable camera RAW to start with the crop tool automatically selected?

As far aas I know you can't.
But you could ask in the Camera Raw forum – they know these things!

Track Select Forward Tool / Track Select Backward Tool

I'm an regular Premiere Pro user doing more work in Audition these days. One tool I can't find in Audition that I really miss from Premiere Pro is the Track Select Forward Tool / Track Select Backward Tool. Is there something like this in Audtion? It is basically a cursor that can select everything from a point forward (or back) on the timeline. This makes it easy to shift long projects with hundreds of clips, instead of zooming out to drag-select everything.
Practical example is editing an hour long podcast with 100 cuts. Somewhere in the middle of the project, one second needs to be removed. It would be nice to make the cut, then use Track Select Forward to select everything from that point on, then slide it to fill the one second gap.
Thanks,
jb

You can either use Ctrl Click to add clips to your selection across tracks. Or alternatively if you click with either the Move tool or the Time Selection tool in an blank area on any track the Marquee tool becomes available to draw over any clips on any tracks to select any clip that it touches. Or you can Select All Clips/Tracks and Ctrl click to remove them from the selection.
In your practical example first use the Time selection tool to mark the time that you wish to delete. Then use any of the above methods to select the clips that you wish to affect. Finally use Time Selection in Selected Clips in the Ripple Delete menu to remove the unwanted part. Note the other options in the Ripple Delete menu that may also be useful to you.

A keyboard shortcut from Type tool to Selection tool

I'm in a text box so I cannot use 'Space' +my normal key shortcut to change to the Selection tool. It's a long way to go with the mouse each time I need to do this. Depressing the CMD key changes the cursor to the Selection tool while I hold it down, but letting CMD up leaves me in the Type tool and in the text box, even if I click outside the text box while holding down CMD. In Illustrator I use a shortcut with OPT or CTRL but this does not work in InDesign.
Any ideas? I hope Adobe clears this up since not having a quick way to bounce back from Type tool to Selection tool via the keyboard is a real drag on a 30" screen.

I too use F1 for the Selection Tool and F2 for the Direct Selection Tool. I've also set F3 as the Preview button (previously the W key) and F4 is Scale Tool and F5 is Rotate Tool.
The great thing about assigning these keys to F Keys rather than character keys it means even if you have a cursor flashing in a text frame you can still switch tools without having to deselect the text frame. What prompted me to look into this was when I once noticed a rogue V and A in a text frame on a job I was designing! If it had gone to print with these letters showing I would have been in a lot of bother so I changed it. This shortcut was discussed on an early episode of InDesign Secrets Podcast :-)
I'd certainly recommend changing this potentially problematic shortcut, it's quite easy to to hit the V key when a text frame is live but out of sight on another page and then you have a superfluous character in your artwork.
If only I could remap the zoom tool to the Control key I'd be very happy. Does anyone know how to do that or is it embedded in the structure of the app?

JavaScript Tools Guide CS6 PDF

I've found that the JavaScript Tools Guide CS6 PDF is not available for download from the Adobe website. It is only available as part of the ExtendScript Toolkit CS6 (ESTK 3.8).
ESTK 3.8 is not available for download from the Adobe website either, but is included in all Adobe CS6 products.
If you have an Adobe CS6 product installed on Windows, the JavaScript Tools Guide CS6 PDF can be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Utilities - CS6\ExtendScript Toolkit CS6\SDK\JavaScript Tools Guide CS6.pdf

Thanks Todd, so posting the actual PDF documents themselves would not be allowed then? I ask only because the JavaScript Tools Guide CC.pdf does not have a link online. Search results return only for the JavaScript Tools Guide CS5.pdf

Pen Tool is Selecting Entire Image

Within my image I am using the Pen tool to select an area that I want to copy. When I define the area with anchor points, close it then select Make Selection, New Selection, it puts the marching ants around not only the area I selected but also the entire image (see below).
This suddenly started happening.
I don't want this behavior. Please help.
Thanks,
AJ

Check your pen tool settings. You probably accidently checked subtract front shape. What you want is exclude overlapping shapes.

Updated Adustment Tool Guide to cover 1.5.2

I have updated my Aperture Adustment Tool Guide to cover the new tools in 1.5.2 - I apologize for the delay for anyone that was anticipating it.
As always, it's a free download and I ask for donations if you find it of use:
http://InsideAperture.com/Site/AdjustmentToolGuide.html
Besides simply covering the new tools in addition to the old, it has a revamped Exposure section and also a visual walkthrough of the Edge Sharpen process Apple recommends that I hope is a little more illuminating than the default documentation or online guide.

Excellent! I look forward to it. Note that the text-link works fine, but the icon-link doesn't (the filename it's attached to lacks the "-1.5.2" before the file extension).
