Photoshop CC 14.1 editing paths on multiple layers disabled?

Has editing paths on multiple layers with the direct selection tool been disabled in Photoshop CC 14.1? I can't seem to figure out how to do it now, shift- or command-clicking doesn't do anything. In fact, I can't even click to select individual paths on different layers, something that Photoshop has had forever.
While it was at times problematic the way it was in 14.0 (always selecting multiple layers and having to go into isolation mode to edit just one), there were times when it was useful to edit multiple layers, or even just click between layers with the direct selection tool.
I've seen this documentation on the site, but I'm not sure it's very helpful. Can someone give me some assistance?
Also, what is the custom keyboard shortcut for entering/exiting isolation mode? It is mentioned in the above image, but what actually is it?

You can still work with paths the way you could in 14.0 -- just choose the All Layers mode in the Path Selection tool or Direct Selection tool options bar. We added the Active Layers mode for users who prefer to isolate which paths can be selected based on which layers they have already selected in the Layers panel.
To clarify:
-Active Layers mode: Clicking or dragging on the canvas with the vector selection tools will not affect which layers are selected in the Layers panel. Double-click to enter isolation mode is disabled.
-All Layers mode: Works just like in 14.0 -- clicking or dragging on the canvas with the vector selection tools can change which layers are selected in the Layers panel. Double-click to enter isolation mode is enabled.
If you find yourself switching between these two modes a lot, you can add a custom keyboard shortcut that will toggle which mode is selected. In the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, choose Shortcuts For: Tools and scroll down to the Direct Selection Mode Toggle option. Add your new keyboard shortcut here.
As for your question about isolation mode keyboard shortcuts, this just means that you can assign a custom keyboard shortcut to this command as well (Select > Isolate Layers).

Convert rectangle to editable Path?

How do I create a rectangle of my desired size/shape and position as a Shape Layer then convert it to an editable Path?

Here's the deal. If your vertex is exactly on 30, 30 and the second is at 30, 100 and you stroke is 1 pixel wide and black then the stroke will be sub pixel interpreted and displayed as a gray line 2 pixels wide covering the area of 29 - 30, 29 - 30 and 29 - 30, 100 - 101. To get the vertex position and the generated stroke to exactly line up the coordinates of the vertex will need to be 30.5, 30.5 and 30.5, 99.5. You can do this by observing the info panel while dragging things around while the comp window is zoomed in to 800 or 1600%.
If you are filling a rectangle then whole pixel values are going to work for the vertex placement.
AE can snap to grid and snap to guides. You can set the grid up in the preferences. You could set grid spacing to 2 pixels with 3 sub devisions to give you the half pixel guide you need for stroked lines or 1 even 1 pixel and 2 sub divisions if you would like, then alt/option click and drag to your hearts content.
I didn't mean to imply that there were not times when sub pixel accuracy was important. Quite the opposite. Rolling titles with thin fonts is entirely possible in video if you set things up correctly but your design must comply with rules of motion. Had you stated in the first question that you were trying to create a ui for a mobile device (sorry I don't keep track of all the threads and can't remember that you asked abut UI design in other threads) your question could have been better answered the first time by referring to the grid setup I just told you about.
I've done at least a dozen UI designs in AE for mobile devices and have never had a problem using layout grids. Most of my work for UI's has started in Photoshop. You can, by the way, copy a path in Photoshop and paste it to a shape layer path in AE...
Good luck with your design.

Can files created in Illustrator CS2 & CS2 Photoshop be opened and edited in later program version

I have a question I am hoping someone will answer for me. I am designing images in Illustrator CS2 and Photoshop CS2. They are saved as Jpegs and png files to be opened by clients in their image editing programs, using them to make digital scrapbook pages and and other projects. My clients will most likely be using recent versions of Photoshop Elements and/or recent versions of Photoshop. Will my files open fine in their more recent versions? I have been taught you can work forward (a file created in a old program version will open in a newer version) but not backward (a file created in Photoshop CS6 might not open in a older version of Photoshop). Is this correct? Also, is there anything I need to do to my files so they are compatible with current versions?
Thank you!

Yes. They can be opened in later versions or older versions, because the formats you mention (.JPG and .PNG) are common raster image formats, not native application-specific formats (.ai or .psd).
Be aware, though, because they are both raster image formats, they are more germane to Photoshop than to Illustrator. Illustrator can't really "open" a PNG or a JPEG for editing the way you could edit them in Photoshop (or any other raster image program). Illustrator can import them into an Illustrator file, but that's not the same thing as being able to "open" them in Photoshop and perform local editing (selecting pixels, etc., etc.).
That's true even if the JPEG or PNG was exported from Illustrator. For example, you can draw artwork native to Illustrator using vector paths, and then export a rasterized image of it in JPEG or PNG format. But don't expect someone else using Illustrator to be able to open that JPEG or PNG and still have the native Illustrator paths. They won't.

Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader?

I design coffee labels with Photoshop then send them off to the printers. The printers then open up a PDF and put in the best before date before printing. At the moment I have to add the text form fields using Acrobat Pro after i've saved the photoshop document as a Photoshop PDF. The problem is if I want to edit the labels at a later date, I have to re-add the text form fields with Acroabat again.
Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader? Is it better to use another program for this task?
Thanks in advance

In photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one

in photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one person at a time. if I try to select two or more people to see their pictures, I get nothing. I try to use CTL-click, but that does not work

Hi,
Try switching to Media view and then go to Find -> By Details.
Set the field to People and select the persons name.
You add further people by clicking on the + sign
The two options above the search criteria allow you to select all photos containing at least one or only ones with all of your selections.
The search can be saved in case you want to repeat it a later time.
Hope that helps
Brian

The only thing that matters is a valid serial number.
If you don't have one, contact Adobe.

Adobe Photoshop 2.0 Starter Edition

Wer kann mir helfen?
Ich habe Adobe Photoshop 2.0 Starter Edition und habe mir meine fotos von der Festplatte in Photoshop Album geladen. Jetzt bekomme ich diese nicht auf Festplatte zurück. Kann diese auch nicht bearbeiten, mailen oder drucken.
Zusätzlich habe ich mit Adobe Photoshob Elements 4.0 installiert.
Dort sehe ich die Fotos nicht.
Bitte helft mir.
Danke!!!

Hallo Frau Merkel,
Sie bekommen die Bilder schon auf die Festplatte zurück, da beide Programme nur eigene Vorschaubilder und Datenbanken anlegen, die eigentlichen Bilder aber dort lassen, wo sie gespeichert sind.
Am einfachsten finden Sie die Bilder mit Start => Suchen und dann Klick auf Bilder, Musik oder Videos. Diese(n) nun gefundenen Ordner laden Sie dann in Album/PSE und können wie gewohnt verwalten/verbessern/versenden etc.
Grüße

Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable.

Why am I not able to export NEF files to Photoshop from Lightroom to edit. This is new. When I right click on an image, the export to PS option is not selectable. I've never had this happen before. I haven't used it for a few weeks, so maybe there's an update (Mac or otherwise) that's screwing things up? HELP!

I have an Edit In - Photoshop option, but not an Export - Photoshop option.
Obviously to have right-click Edit In to work, the photo you're right-clicking on needs to be selected. I assume this is not the problem, and that the photo is selected.
Mavericks 10.9.3 has a problem where the Users folder is hidden, and you need to update iTunes to fix it, but it's been a few weeks since this happened so hopefully you're up-to-date and the Users folder isn't hidden anymore.
If you can't get things to work, I'd uninstall LR and uninstall Photoshop, then install Photoshop, and update it, then install LR and update it, as a way to get any wayward security or other OS-level things reset.

Photoshop CS6 iPhone video editing

Photoshop CS6 has video editing but can not render any video from iPhone 5

The format is .mov.
When you render it it becomes .mp4.
I do this all day that is the compression understood by many players. I did not say that it does not support the format as it will play fine. I said "it will not render" No corverter needed.
The video from the phone will not render unless you use the Apple TV, iPhone, iPad 4 and newer -720p 29.97 setting instead of the HD1080p that I use normally.
I hope you know how to help me. Please do not give me general answers be specific or tell me "I do not know"
You can always try it at home!
Thanks for your time

You don't convert, you create - in PowerPoint, using whatever graphics you designed in Photoshop and PP's native text tools.
