Moving a Selection a specific point distance

I need to move areas of an image that I have selected using the unit of points.
For example, I get corrections in our copy where I need to move certain parts of the image 8 points up or over 3 points.
Is there any way to easily do this? I can use the measurement tool to meausure the distance but then it disappears when I try to actually move the selection. The same thing happens when I try to use guides to mark the area. I wish I could just set Photoshop to "nudge" in points instead of pixels.
Is there any way to make this easier??
(Photoshop CS4 version 11)

Thanks for the quick reply. This seems like it would work except for I may have worded my question incorrectly.
I may be missing something but is there a way to have whatever is selected move? And not just the selection area, i.e. whichever layer I am in it would move that selected part of the layer and not just the area to be selected?

Welcome to the Apple family!!!!
How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
Press Control-Option and F5. The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over. This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
How to read a website with VoiceOver
Step 1: Go to the Website
A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L. This will jump you up to the address bar. Start typing where you want to go. i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
Step 2: Working with Webpage
VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website. You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'.
If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it. If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website. This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'. You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I
Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
Step 3. Reading from Top to Bottom
Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title.
After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on.
Note: If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too.
Tip: You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'. The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R. You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'.
I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar. To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M.
Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac. This will open up another window. Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'. If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

The 'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H. (hit H twice) is my best friend. It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command. Example: You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command. Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph. It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph. I believe there are three.

Zoom into a specific point on a clip

How do I zoom to a specific point on a clip or picture?
Whenever I try to use this feature it just goes to the centre of the clip.
Thank-you.

Make sure Image + Wireframe is selected in the Canvas:
Select the clip you want to zoom in on and reposition on the timeline by clicking on it. Once it is selected on the timeline, the turquoise box and cross hairs should appear in the canvas.
If you click and drag on one of the boxes on the corner, you can resize your image:
And if you click and drag on the image itself, you can change the clips position:
You may need to change the canvas display scale to see the handles after you zoom in:

Adding static images to map at specific points in time

Hello,
I am trying to create a power map animation and I am having difficulties figuring out how to go beyond simply animating the data over time. let's say I want to add a little image of the space needle in Seattle when the animation gets to the point in
time when it was built. Obviously, I will be in the process of animating my normal data when this image gets added. Also, if you know of any tutorials that might be relevant please mention them.
Thanks,
Bob

You can add static images at a point in time and these are done by adding an annotation to a specific point that is plotted on your map. Once you pause the tour at a specific time you might want to add a scene to the tour and then add your annotation.
In order to add an annotation you will need to select the point and then right-click and select 'Add Annotation'. You will then be able to add a title along with either text, a field from data set, or an image. At this point you can continue
to plat the tour and/or add another scene and continue to build out your tour.
Check out this article on inserting annotations to Power Maps for additional information

I have a project on Imovie with pinned audio to the project. I want to know how to stretch the audio to a specific point of the song?

See this Tutorial for how audio works in iMovie. In general, you drag the left or right edge of your audio clip.
You can also use the Clip Trimmer. Click the Gear icon in the music track and select the Clip Trimmer.

Use the addColumnSelectionInterval(int index1, int index2)method ~ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html#addColumnSelectionInterval(int,%20int)
and the addRowSelectionInterval(int index1, int index2) method ~ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html#addRowSelectionInterval(int,%20int)
Hope that helped.

I've deleted some of the columns because they are all equal and by doing so, you have less problems in reading it.
In my method i have a matchEm but i'm trying to select a column by using this line:
        dimAnos.setColumnSelection("A2012");
dimAnos is the binding for my table Anos (Years in Portuguese). I even tried another values fro the columnSelection but i couldn't make it selected. Am i doing anything wrong?
Please help me or give me an idea of how can i do this.
Regards,
Frederico.

Hi Frederico,
The method setColumnSelection is meant to set whether your table supports column selection or not. It doesn't select the column. In order to select the column, you need to set the column attribute Selected to true. So I don't know if its an option for you but you can create a binding to all the columns you have in you bean, and then call the method A2012.setSelected(true), and then add a partial target to the table to re render it and show the selected column.
Hope this helps

How do I move video clips to specific points on a music track in iMovie?

I am trying to make a lip synch video and need to move my video clips to specific points on a musci track so that the words are in time with people singing - does anyone know how to do this? At the moment, I only seem able to put the clips in one after the other...

Hi
IMovie is Video clip oriented - meaning that Audio can not be put in first and video/photos added later.
So to do this I use black photos that I fill up the Video with first
Then Add audio
Then add Video/photos by Cutaway function or exact replacement (in time).
This is so much easier in any version of FINALCUT where one can build Audio first then create the video ontop of this.

Can you select a specific item from a listbox via scripting?

This seems like it should be easy, but I've spent quite a few hours trying to figure this out, to no avail. I'm trying to create a button that would automatically select a specific item on a listbox. I though "selectedIndex" would do the trick, but this seems to only work if the user actually selects a specific item on a listbox. I'm looking for the opposite effect, where a person will push a button where a specific item on the listbox gets selected.
Any help would be much appreciated...thanks!

You can use the setItemState method for this purpose.
To select the third item use:
ListBox.setItemState(2, 1);

How to: Select a Specific Timeline Displayed in Project Online when having multiple timelines within the Enterprise Project

Currently I have an Enterprise Project which has 6 custom timelines and I want to know how to select a specific timeline to be displayed on the Project specific SharePoint site.
I'll provide some background for you so you understand my issues... I have created a "template" project with 6 custom timelines. From that project I created multiple new projects - which they all have the 6 custom timelines. These projects are
all stored in the Project Center. The problem I am having is I don't understand how to select a specific timeline to show on the project specific SharePoint site. They all seem to be displaying 1 of the 6 timelines (in no particular order). I was thinking
maybe if I had edited a project and saved it while it was displaying a specific timeline it would display the last selected timeline on the SharePoint site, but it doesn't seem to be doing that.
Is there a way to select a specific timeline to display on the SharePoint site? Also, is there a way for a user to cycle through the numerous timeline view on the project specific SharePoint site?
I await your help!! :)

Michelle_Sm --
I ran into this problem at the company where I used to work. One of our PMs had created multiple Timeline views, and wanted a specific custom Timeline view to show up in the Project Site for that project. I could not see any way to make that
happen. We had one of our SharePoint developers look into the issue, and he could not see any way to make this happen either. So, I am thinking this is not possible to do. But I would gladly welcome others in this forum to tell us the trick,
if there is one! :) Hope this helps.

Hyperlink to a specific point on a page

I am trying to insert a hyperlink which jumps to a specific point on a page. The way I would like it to work is so that I have a list of headings - an index - and when you click on a heading it jumps to that particular chapter in a text.
So far I have only been able to get a hyperlink to jump to the top of a page.

Anchor
Search is your friend

In Flash CS4, how do you select multiple anchor points across separate layers?

I am talking about anchor points on a line, not a keyframe. They are also called "handles". I can select the anchor points as "white" quickly, but I can't get them to be "solid"without doing it layer by layer, which is tedious. What I want is way to select lines that are in different layers and get the points I selected in a way similar to the regular selection tool or free transform tool. I have been trying to do this all day and I can't find a good way to do this, and I would appreciate any help.
Here is an image of what I'm trying to do, but more easily. The lines are on separate layers, but when I select them with the subselection tool I have to go layer by layer selecting the points. I'm trying to look for a very quick way of doing it. When I do select all with the subselection tool on, the anchor points are only "white" and not "solid" as shown below.

Now you're post was a while ago and I still need a solution, but I have to say this. I didn't mean to be rude to you; it’s just that it doesn’t answer my question I specified in the original post. I know your intentions are good, but it frustrates me when someone doesn’t fully read a post and offers a solution, it sometimes gives a false impression that the problem is taken care of. Example of being "helpful": http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540277 Yes I know there is a “Yes, my question has been answered,” but you know they don’t always select it, and other people know that as well. But you are right; I should probably act a little bit nicer and reiterate what I’ve already said before, I’ll probably get more help from it. It just seems to be a simple feature that seems to be needed to be in the program. I didn't mean it takes forever to move, it takes forever to select multiple anchor points across, let's say 10 layers, so that's 10 different lines on 10 layers. You have to select each layer and then select the anchor points. If there is an away to select anchor points across all layers in one go please tell me. Maybe I was wrong, but I could’ve sworn I’ve seen ideas that were posted on here get taken into Adobe as a suggestion, but yes I submitted it as a suggestion to Adobe, but I wanted to confirm that there was no way of doing it first since it seems kind unbelievable because the regular selection tool works across multiple layers.

QuickTime: can't move to a specific point when playing .WMA audio files

I use a lot of .WMA audio files recorded on my Olympus Digital Voice recorder. Since the latest update of QuickTime I cannot move to a specific point in a file. When I click and drag on the diamond cursor it won't move. The only way to move through the file is to play it or 'fast' forward it - which takes ages.

I have the same problem. when playing wma or wmv file, simply just cannot drag the progress bar to a specific position. Just have to progress from the very beginning to the end. Once it has been played to the end, I can move the progress bar. Very weird
I have both flip4Mac and perian installed with the latest version.
Could anybody please help.
cheers

How to rewind to a specific point?

I have a 30 gig. Ipod on which I like to listen to audible.com books. I just got a new Nano. On my 30 gig Ipod, I can rewind or fast forward to a SPECIFIC point of the book, not just to the very beginning or to the end. I can't seem to do this with the Nano, which allows me to go only to the very beginning or to the very end. What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much in advance.

Whilst listening to the audiobook, and the iPod is in the 'Now Playing' screen, press the centre button once. A small diamond will appear in the time scroller ad the current time point. Just use the scrollwheel to get to the time where you want to listen to.
Hope that helps
