Milo:  Is there a way to proportionally change a zoom zone?

Sometimes I want to zoom in on a picture, but I want to be sure that the original proportions of the photo stay the same.
I'd hoped I could use the zoom tool and drag the corner while hold the shift (like changing the size of a Free-Transform selection),
but then I remembered that only gives marching ants, not anything resizeable or moveable.
I can do it in several steps by
1) drawing a rectangle the same size as the original (with low opacity so I can see through it),
2) resize it to what I like looking through it,
3) crop to that size, and then
4) delete the rectangle
but it seems like there's gotta be a faster way.

Your answer is so correct and so obvious that I can't imagine if I was just overtired, had the wrong icon selected, or if my computer was just spazzing out (believe me, odder things have happened on this machine).
Regardless, thanks for the jolt to the head just to try it again and it's working fine now.

  • Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

    Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
    menu..but not the submenus?
    Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
    the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
    submenu...what can i do to solve this?

    Does the example described at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
    work for you?
    What are you doing that's different from the example?
    When you say you just want to change the text of the main
    menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
    dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
    If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
    want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
    event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
    in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
    update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
    actually tried it.
    Hope that helps!

  • Hi, I got a new iPhone that I havent uploaded to my iTunes yet I had pictures and contacts. I accidentally said to restore it as my old iTouch. Is there a way I can change it back to my old iPhone and get my pictures and contacts back? Thank you

    Hi, I got a new iPhone that I havent uploaded to my iTunes yet I had pictures and contacts. I accidentally said to restore it as my old iTouch. Is there a way I can change it back to my old iPhone and get my pictures and contacts back?

    You would need to check if you made a back up of the iPhone on iTunes/iCloud before you restored from the ipod touch back up. If there isnt then im sorry that data is gone.

  • I edit my photos in Photoshop, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto.  But if I add text to an image in Photoshop can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

    I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11.  If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd.  Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

    Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
    While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
    I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
    The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
    Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

    Only by exporting.
    The Export menu in Photoshop CS3 does not have any direct choices for JPEG.

  • Is there a way to find/change the font of numericals only, within a document in indesign?

    Is there a way to find/change the font of numericals only, within a document in indesign?

    It might not be what you need for this document, but if you were creating it from scratch, a GREP style would probably be the way to go. That way,  new figures added to the text will  automatically be styled the way you like.
    Start with a base Paragraph Style (i.e. 'Body') that all subsequent styles ('Heading' etc) are based on. Select a figure, and apply the font and any other attributes required. Select it and make a new Character Style. In your Paragraph Style, go to GREP Styles, and set it to apply the Character Style to the 'Any Digit' Wildcard.

    Meaning UK to Canadian?
    You need to change the address associated with your Apple ID to a Canadian address.

    For making purchases you will need to change the country that your ID is associated with in the iTunes app. Log into your account and chnage the country. You will need to supply a Canadian bank card and the local Canadian billing address.

  • Is there a way you can change your app locations on iTunes?

    It's tedious when trying to drag an app that you really like past 4 'pages' of apps to the 1st page.

    HI,
    Is there a way you can change your app locations on iTunes?
    Yes. Connect your iPhone to your computer, launch iTunes. Select your iPhone under Devices on the left. Select "Apps" in the menu. You can drag apps to any of the home screens you want, then click: Apply bottom right corner of the iTunes window.

    Call Apple and ask.  If they have not shipped yet due to backlog, perhaps.  If they did ship already, return without opening and wait for silver model to be shipped back to you.

    My computer's default language is spanish. Is there any way i can change safari's language to english?

    Change your OS X language
    Your Mac is set to display the language for the country in which you bought the computer. For example, if you bought your Mac in the United States, your Mac is set to English. If you bought your Mac in France, your Mac is set to French. But if you prefer to use a different language, you can.
    If you bought your Mac in the U.S. but English isn't your preferred language,
    you can switch the language via drag-and-drop.
    Open System Preferences and click Language & Text.
    Click the Language tab.
    In the Languages pane, drag your preferred language to the top of the list.
    To apply the language throughout your system, restart your Mac or log out and log back in.

    Although clunky as you say, this sounds like a reasonably efficient way to accomplish what I was seeking.
    Address Book has no global find/replace. Bob Grove suggested one possible workaround; however, a grep-capable text editor (eg, TextWrangler) is better than TextEdit if complex strings are involved.
    An alternative is Bento (which is designed specifically to interact with the AB database), but it's not free.

  • Is there a way we can change the path of the songs to an external hard drive when we move the songs over?   also, is there a way to delete multiple songs easily?

    is there a way we can change the path of the songs to an external hard drive when we move the songs over?   also, is there a way to delete multiple songs easily?
    I recently moved my songs over for hard drive space.  Really don't want to have to go back through each album, etc... to get that to work.
    Last time I tried making a "library" that didn't work either.
    On the topic of deleting multiple songs that are the same, is there an easier way then to select each one?
    Seems to me apple isn't user friendly

    Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
    A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
    Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
    Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.
