Photoshop cs6: Layers snapping to some grip or whatever...

PS CS6, Mac OS 10.6.8:
This drives me bonkers. When moving layers, they snap to something.
The only option I have found in the preferences is General -> Snap Vector Tools and Transforms to Pixel Grid (whatever it means) which I have unchecked.
How can I make PS allow me to move my layers the way I want, not as Adobe want?

Go to View > Snap or Snap To.
You have a variety of things you can snap to -- Guides, Grid, Layers, Document bounds, etc...

WHITE LINES APPEARING ON PHOTOSHOP Cs6 LAYERS THAT PREVIOUSLY WERE NOT IN THE SAVE FILE -

I Keep having this reoccuring problem today - white lines keep appearing attatched to certain & all layers in photoshop files that I have, the only solution that seems to get rid of them is to put a mask on the layer and mask the line away, these are appearing on text, smart objects & rastersized layers. They were not there when I previously saved the file and they should not be there now, I then went to open another file I had and white lines started to appear on the files. This is really frustrating because some of the website documents have alot of layers. I have attatched an example below, they only appear to be 1 pixel and can range up to 2500pixels wide and they overlap making the line look thicker sometimes. Any advise would be great, Thanks.

Trevor,
I had been thinking about a display issue too, but upon re-reading the post, it sounded like the artifact was consistant on each Image (different place for each, but then always the same place for THAT Image). I was about to inquire about the video driver, but the location aspect prompted me to forget that possibility - still, I could well be wrong, and you could be correct.
We'll just to wait a bit, and see.
In a worst-case, the OP could send me a PM (Personal Message), and I can provide my POP address, to have them attach an offending PSD to an e-mail. I would be glad to test it on my systems, to see if something jumps out. However, as Csuebelle asked, having the file posted, for many to explore it, would be better than just one of us trying to track down the culprit.
I have encountered something similar, when I moved Layer Masks around in DVD Menus, and one was just a tad too small, revealing pixels that I intended to mask out - usually a DUH! moment for me, but easy to fix. Not sure if this is what we have, or something else? Often, what appears to be the same issue, looks like the same issue, is actually something totally different.

Photoshop CS6 save for web some colors change?

I have a picture with large area of color: #fffdfd, when I save it for web (jpg) this color is changed to #fefcfd (in JPG).
I just can not save as JPG with #fffdfd.
(was trying uncheck convert to sRGB, do not embed color profile - always #fffdfd changes to #fefcfd when save for web)
However, color #fefcfd when save for web , does not change.
Why some colors change and some not? Is it a bug ?
Window7 64bit, Photoshop CS6

Save for Web & Devices will strip some color data from the file.
Browsers aren't color managed. Most file formats on browsers assume they're sRGB. While Photoshop gives you an option of embedding sRGB to the document color space, it also strips off data that is not relevant. This is a common occurence.
PNG-24 on the other hand will give you the exact color match.
Also, Save for W&D, JPG quality matters a lot - The same color at Quality 10,20,30,40,50...100 wil give you different color reproductions on the JPG end output.
If you're concerned that much about an offset of +/- 1 hex value to your RGB colorspace, dont save for web & devices. Do a 'Save As' instead. Then use an image editing/ resizing application such as ResizeMe to resize the quality of your document. This, in most cases will retain colorspace information but just drop the resolution and quality of the image - giving you a lesser filesize.

How to use Photoshop CS6

Hi Peeps,
I have been using Photoshop Elements 4.0 but now I have to switch to Photoshop CS6 as there are some printing issues with Elements 4.0.
I would like to seek for your kind advices how to use Photoshop CS6 as I can't seems to find the answer in support link.
In Elements 4.0, there is a Pencil mode we can use and set the size but i did not find it in CS6 except the Pen mode.
As well as in Elements 4.0, i can show grid lines as i need to make the images centralised but i cant find in CS6 also, the option is greyed-out.
May i seek for the users/experts of Photoshop CS6 to enlighten me?
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Kazz

Hihi Silkrooster,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply!
May I still seek further assistance from you? As I simply can't get the pencil line that I wants.
In Elements 4.0, I just have to simply select Pencil -> Size: 3 px, Mode: Normal Opacity: 100% and I can get the size of the pencil line that I need.
See attached screenshot below: -
But in CS6, i tried the combination of 2B pencil -> Size: 3 px, Mode: Normal Opacity: 100%, but it does not work so i go to extend to set Brush Tip Shape.
See green box 1: its the pencil line that I want.
See green box 2: its set to 3px, square pointed, softness: 100% but it's too big and looks faded.
See green box 3: All is the same except is 2px but at least it looks so much alike to the one i need (dark, black solid line) but it's too thin.
Can enlighten me how to go about it plssss?
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Kazz

Photoshop CS6 shuts down systematically

I have a legitimate Photoshop CS6 license.
For some reason, I started having problems with it while I never had any before.
When I start Photoshop, it stays there for a couple of seconds and then shuts off on its own without me doing anything. No warning, nothing.
I tried unistalling it and installing it again but it didn't solve anything.
I absolutely need my PS for work so I need to fix this problem as soon as possible.
Please help!

Persistent Photoshop CS6 crashes

We've been seeing Photoshop CS6 crashes anywhere from once a week to more than once a day for weeks now. I've looked into suggestions for fixing the problem and have gone to the trouble of deleting Photoshop completely and reinstalling to the trouble of wiping out the entire main drive and reinstalling the OS and the few apps we use, and most recently installing a 250GB SSD HD dedicated to being the scratch disk for Photoshop.
Our normal use for Photoshop on this machine is taking large scans (often of several hundred megabytes) and cropping and color correction for art reproduction output.
I have several crash reports, but looking through the Exception Type and Codes it changes from one time to the next.

How can i edit lenght of the all layers in timeline at the same time??? in Photoshop cs6 extended

How can i edit lenght of the all layers in timeline at the same time??? in Photoshop cs6 extended
Because when i select all layers in layer panel or right in timeline panel, i will be able to edit duration only in one layer... so if i can document with more than 20 layers, the work will be terrible
Please give me someone some tips... and tricks

You can't delete the All On My Mac as it is an automatic group to display all of the contacts that are stored "On My Mac." You can delete all of the contacts that are in the ON MY MAC section by selecting All ON My Mac and then selecting all contacts. Press delete and approve the deletion. Then, select each group under ON My Mac and delete those individually.
Then, Make sure iCloud is set as the default account in the General Address Book Preferences.

"Align Layers Based on Content" locking up Photoshop CS6

Using "Align Layers..." is a function I use daily. Many, many times. Yesterday, using this normal function began locking up my Photoshop session. I have 1.5GB+ of scratch disk available. I'm using the same procedures I've always used. I've reinstalled Photoshop CS6. Any ideas? I'm into work around mode, since I have lots of work to do, but I'd love to get this process back on track so I can get back to a normal workflow.

My bad, Terri. I meant 1.5 TB. Brain freeze. The problem, though, has been solved by resetting the Photoshop preferences. But since I have your attention, let me toss out another anomaly I could use some help with. About 50% of the time, when I select a tool, like a brush or a clone stamp or a healing brush and attempt to use it, it doesn't work. If I leave the PS page, though, and go to Bridge or Lightroom and return to Photoshop, the tools work. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hi Can anyone please tell me from where I cn download the Photoshop CS6 program I purchased a download (media less) some 2 years ago and all has been OK up to know but I am know having issues and would like to uninstall and reinstall. I have the revelant

Hi Can anyone please tell me from where I can download the Photoshop CS6 program I purchased a download (media less) some 2 years ago and all has been OK up to know but I am know having issues and would like to uninstall and reinstall. I have the relevant codes and activation keys but would need to be sure I can obtain the program again before I start. Thank you

Make sure you are dealing with the correct product for the serial number. If the serial number is for a full creative suite then you need to get the suite, not the individual application, and vice versa.
Unrelated to that, in case it helps, here is a link to another site. You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
http://www.adobe.com
Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

Problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6.

Hi, I have a problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6. It is said: it isn't possible to carry out an order since the module of the file format cannot analyse this file

Don’t know if Reader has this, too, but in Acrobat one can check under Document Properties.
I can convert and place the file in Photoshop CS6.
I would recommend trying the usual trouble-shooting routines and if nothing helps un-installing, running the Cleaner and re-installing Photoshop. (After making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved to s secure location.)
