Problems with selections in cs5

Hey there, Recently i started noticing some weird behaviours that didn't happen before involving selections in photoshop cs5.
the first thing i noticed was that when i made a selection with the lasso on any given layer and hit transform, the tool didn't automatically select the active pixels like it did before. instead, the transformation box was around the whole selection I made even if the borders didn't contain active pixels. this is a really big problem for me because when I have my objects set in a certain place and I want to transform them in that position, thay move around a little bit beacuse the selection is not constrained to the shape. I was wondering if this is some new feature in cs5 that can be changed. or some old feature that I accidentally toggled on.
My second problem is that when I'm making a selection either with the marquee tool or the lasso tool then I swiitch to the move tool to move the selected content and then switch back to a selection tool to remove just a part of thet previous selection so that I can move the rest of the content, appart from deselecting that area, it erases the pixels contained in the deselection. and I just want to remove that selection, not delete the pixels. I'm also wondering if this is a function that can be modified or if I have a bigger problem.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Ad 1)
One workaround might be to switch to the Move Tool and hit the left and right arrow in sequence.
Ad 2)
One workaround might be to enter and leave Quick Mask Mode by hitting Q twice.

    Problem with "SELECT...FOR UPDATE OF..." and "POST command" combination
    Problem in committing transactions in Multiple Forms (Oracle Forms) with POST built-in command:
    Consider that the following statements are written in WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED trigger of a called form.
    Statements in called form (Form name: FORM_CHILD):
    go_block('display_block') ;
    do_key('execute_query') ;
    -- Data from table_b will be populated in this block, based on the value of COLUMN_1 obtained
    -- from TABLE_A.
    -- Example: If the value of COLUMN_1 is 10, then all the matching records from TABLE_B, which
    -- are inserted with value 10 in TABLE_B.COLUMN_1 will be fetched and shown here.
    if user_choice = 'YES' then
    commit ;
    else
    rollback ;
    end if ;
    Statements in calling forms:
    There are two calling forms having following statements and it is going to call the above said called form.
    CALLING FORM 1
    Statements in KEY-COMMIT trigger:
    post;
    call_form(form_child, no_activate) ;
    Statements in ON-INSERT trigger:
    select column_1
    from table_a
    for update of column_1
    where column_2 = 'X' ;
    update table_a
    set column_1 = column_1 + 1
    where column_2 = 'X' ;
    insert into table_b ...;
    insert into table_b ...; Statements in KEY-COMMIT trigger:
    post;
    call_form(form_child, no_activate) ;
    CALLING FORM 2:
    Statements in ON-INSERT trigger:
    select column_1
    from table_a
    for update of column_1
    where column_2 = 'X' ;
    update table_a
    set column_1 = column_1 + 1
    where column_2 = 'X' ;
    insert into table_b ...;
    insert into table_b ...;
    insert into table_b ...;
    Our understanding:
    Assume that both the forms are running from two different machines/instances, issuing commit at the same time. In this case, forms will start executing the statements written in ON-INSERT trigger, the moment POST command is executed. Though the commit is issued at the same time, according to oracle, only one of the request will be taken for processing first. Assume that calling form 1 is getting processed first.
    So, it fetches the value available in COLUMN_1 of TABLE_A and locks the row from further select, update, etc. as SELECT...FOR UPDATE command is used (note that NOWAIT is not given, hence the lock will be released only when COMMIT or ROLLBACK happens) and proceed executing further INSERT statements. Because of the lock provided by the SELECT...FOR UPDATE command, the statements in calling form 2 will wait for the resource.
    After executing the INSERT statements, the FORM_CHILD is called. The rows inserted in to TABLE_A will be queried and shown. The database changes will be committed when user closes the window (as COMMIT is issued in its WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED trigger). Then the SELECT...FOR UPDATE lock will be released and calling form 2's statements will be executed.
    Actual happenings or Mis-behavior:
    Calling form 2 starts executing INSERT statements instead of waiting for SELECT...FOR UPDATE lock. Also, the value selected from TABLE_A.COLUMN_1 is same in both the calling forms, which is wrong.
    The rows inserted into TABLE_B are having similar COLUMN_1 values in calling form 2 and they are fetched and shown in the called form FORM_CHILD.
    Note that in calling form 2 also POST only is issued, but the changes posted there are accessible in calling form 1 also, which is wrong.
    Kindly suggest us as to how to fix above problem. It will be much use, if you can send us the information regarding the behavior of Oracle Forms POST built-in also.

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    You have several problems:
    1. On-Insert will ONLY run if you have created a new record in a base-table block. If you haven't done that, then the POST command will not cause it to run.
    2. Select for update without a "no wait" will lock records for the first form, but when the second form tries this, it will hit the ORA-00054 exception, and will NOT wait. The only way you could make it wait is to issue an UPDATE sql command, which is not such a good way to go.
    All POST does is issues SQL insert or update commands for any changes the user has made to records in a form's base-table blocks, without following with a Commit command.
    Also understand that Commit is the same as Commit_Form, and Rollback is the same as Clear_Form. You should read up on these in the Forms help topics.

  • Problem with selecting text in Adobe Reader XI

    Hi all, I am encountering a problem with Adobe Reader XI and it is very strange I could not find an alike issue on the internet so I guess I have to submit a question with it.
    So here it is, I am using Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.2, operating system: Windows 7. I do not know it starts from when but it has the problem with selecting text - to be copied in pdf documents. I ensure that the documents are not scanned documents but word-based documents (or whatever you call it, sorry I cannot think of a proper name for it).
    Normally, you will select the text/paragraph you want to copy and the text/paragraph will be highlighted, but the problem in this case that I cannot select the text/paragraph, the blinking pointer (| <-- blinking pointer) will just stays at the same location so I cannot select/highlight anything to be copied. It happens oftenly, not all the time but 90%.
    This is very annoying as my work involves very much with copying text from pdf documents, I have to close the pdf file and then open it again so I can select the text but then after the first copying or second (if I am lucky), the problem happens again. For a few text I have to type it myself, for a paragraph I have to close all opening pdf documents and open again so I could select the paragraph to copy. I ran out of my patience for this, it causes trouble and extra time for me just to copying those texts from pdf documents. Does this problem happen to anyone and do you have a solution for this? I would much appreciate if you could help me out, thank you!

    Yeah,  I totally agree, this is very strange. I have always been using Adobe Reader but this problem only occurred ~three months ago. It must be that some software newly installed I think. But I have no idea.
    About your additional question, after selecting the texts and Ctrl + C, the texts are copied and nothing strange happens. It's just that right after I managed to copy the texts, it takes me a while to be able to select the texts again. For your information, I just tested to select the texts and then pressed Ctrl, the problem happened. And then I tried pressing C and then others letters, it all led to the problem.
    I guess I have to stick with left-clicked + Copy until I/someone figure the source of this problem. Thanks a lot for your help!

    I get 2 different results when I execute the above with SQLPlus (or java) depending on the instance I am connected to.

  • Problem with selecting text in a PDF document

    I'm having a problem with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9.  PDF document that has copying and selecting permissions granted, when I highlight text for copying, some of it gets highlighted and some doesn't.  Put the same document on several computers in the office, same issue.  It's the document, but I can't figure out what the deal is.
    We need to copy large portions of this into a new tech manual. 
    Can someone help

    Without further information, my first reaction is to think that the texts that you cannot copy are included as images.

  • Problem with Pen Tool CS5

    Hi,
    I just got Photoshop CS5 and I'm having a bit of trouble with the pen tool - namely, I can't see the path I'm creating.  In CS3 I could clearly see the line between two points but in the new program the line is nearly invisible making it very difficult to create the path.  Is this a setting I can fix?
    thanks

    I was having 32 bit while I upgraded from CS3 to  CS4. The only problem with CS4 that time was with pen tool.Though I cannot precisely recall , I can say it t was very lazy and very frustrating and this was resolved totally after shifting to 64 bit.--If urs existing system is 32 bit try with 64 bit

  • Problem With Brushes Pressure CS5

    Hello all.
    I'm using a Photoshop Cs5 with a Wacom Cintiq 12wx Tablet (I'm using PC with WinXP).
    I'm having some problems withe the pressure, it doesn't work on Photoshop, (I tried it on CS3 & CS5), and I did clicked on the Tablet options in PS.
    The pressure just don't responds.
    I Think its becuse I can't change the Minimum Diameter in any Brush.
    Plus when I change the Control part to Pen Pressure, a little warning sign is appering ( a triangel with an exclamation mark insaid ), how ever when I click on it [to see what the problem is ,nothing happens].
    I have to point out that in the Cintiq Tablet Properties it's all fine, the pressure respond(in the meter)
    I tried making a different settings for Photoshop, it didn't help. Can any one Pleas help me?

    Usually, this is an issue with the wacom driver needing to be updated.
    A few people have also found that the Windows tablet settings can also mess things up.

  • Problem with Zoom in CS5

    Hi, I've been having a problem with the zoom in CS5. I've looked around the web for a solution but no luck.
    Basically when I zoom out the image becomes pixelated unless its at 50% zoom. The same image with the exact same zoom will look absolutely fine in CS4.
    Example:
    http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/3761/46991735.jpg

    People sometimes report that the OpenGL based zoom in Photoshop CS5 makes their images seem soft.  Your observation seems to be the opposite.
    It sounds as if you're not actually getting font rendering in OpenGL, and maybe you need to update your video drivers (or maybe your video card just won't do that function).
    Are you seeing the same behavior if you change the Advanced settings for OpenGL in Edit - Preferences - Performance?  FYI, I just tried it and I see the same jaggies on huge fonts reduced to 66.67% with OpenGL off, which is to be expected.
    However, with OpenGL on, I see this:

  • Problem with reset in cs5

    with ctrl alt shift to reset, i noticed this created problem with normal setup.
    things i noticed are that you can't open new file, it returns error message and you have to go to prefence and off open gl drawing to fix them.
    and other thing if the mask black/white erasing doesn't work so well.
    seems the hardness for brushes whether its 100 or 25, looks the same, i don't remember seeing this before in cs5, should reflect strenght between stronger /weaker erasing.

    things i noticed are that you can't open new file, it returns error message and you have to go to prefence and off open gl drawing to fix them.
    That just means that your video card driver has some bugs, and needs to be updated.
    The error messages tell you that there is a problem with your video card driver.

  • Performance problem with selecting records from BSEG and KONV

    Hi,
    I am having performance problem while  selecting records from BSEG and KONV table. As these two tables have large amount of data , they are taking lot of time . Can anyone help me in improving the performance . Thanks in advance .
    Regards,
    Prashant

    Hi,
    Some steps to improve performance
    SOME STEPS USED TO IMPROVE UR PERFORMANCE:
    1. Avoid using SELECT...ENDSELECT... construct and use SELECT ... INTO TABLE.
    2. Use WHERE clause in your SELECT statement to restrict the volume of data retrieved.
    3. Design your Query to Use as much index fields as possible from left to right in your WHERE statement
    4. Use FOR ALL ENTRIES in your SELECT statement to retrieve the matching records at one shot.
    5. Avoid using nested SELECT statement SELECT within LOOPs.
    6. Avoid using INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE. Instead use INTO TABLE.
    7. Avoid using SELECT * and Select only the required fields from the table.
    8. Avoid nested loops when working with large internal tables.
    9. Use assign instead of into in LOOPs for table types with large work areas
    10. When in doubt call transaction SE30 and use the examples and check your code
    11. Whenever using READ TABLE use BINARY SEARCH addition to speed up the search. Be sure to sort the internal table before binary search. This is a general thumb rule but typically if you are sure that the data in internal table is less than 200 entries you need not do SORT and use BINARY SEARCH since this is an overhead in performance.
    12. Use "CHECK" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
    13. Use "CASE" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
    14. Use "MOVE" with individual variable/field moves instead of "MOVE-
    CORRESPONDING" creates more coding but is more effcient.

  • Problem with MathType and CS5 due to InDesign

    We publish Math and Science curriculum and we run into the problem below.
    the second bullets is imported wrong in CS5. Is there a work around? (I also emailed Design Science). We'd rather use CS5 since all our other subjects are done in CS5 and we want to be able to use spanning across columns which does not exist in CS4.
    The same happens when using MT Extra instead of Euclid Extra.

    BTW, Jongware, I was a bit unfair about the fonts. You can sign up for the 30-day free trial of Mathtype and then you get the fonts. Furthermore, the strong implication is that you need not delete them after the trial period is over, and therefore you also can extract them from the installer for use like this with no compunctions (which is what I did). Source: MathType: Font Installers.
    redesign: Moving right along, just like Jongware, when I open your CS4 document in CS4, I see the same behavior Jongware saw and the same behavior you saw in CS5 (which I also see in CS5), namely the goofy circle glyph (seems to be GID 64 and U+F069):
    I did have to turn on high-resolution previews, though otherwise I got something else entirely.
    I notice, however, that you seem to have authored this file using some 3rd party plugins:
    Since that seems to be a math-related plugin, it doesn't seem inconceivable that it is part of the issue.
    I suggest you disable it and re-test in CS4.
    The font does seem a bit goofy...The goofy circle glyph appears in FontForge, as a ccwcontourcircle, but not in
    standard Mac font apps, like TextEdit. It's also the 'i' position in the font.
    I don't know enough about fonts to dig and really figure out why you get one character when it is first and another when it is second, but I really don't think this is InDesign. Oh, right, let's look at the EPS file in another program...
    Curiously, Preview.app indeed shows the bullet glyph in the first position (and in the second).
    Adobe Illustrator, which I opened by accident (ha!), shows ccwcontourcircles.
    So it seems that Apple and Adobe's EPS renderers treat this font differently.
    I suppose it might be an Adobe bug, but I'm more inclined to suspect its ambiguous... The way the ccwcontourcircle is encoded seems strange to me.
    Well, I think that's enough for me. Basically, Jongware and I see consistent behavior with CS4 and CS5 — oh, actually. Are you using CS4 and CS5 on the same machine? Or on different machines? Because...I suspect this is handled by the AGM library, and it may well be that using CS4 on a machine with CS5 makes it use CS5's AGM library. But that might not be true at all, just speculation.
    Anyhow, I'm not sure what Jongware's newfound Adobe Support optimism is based on. I suspect you'll hear from Design Science in the next day or two, and maybe from Adobe by September. But perhaps I am too pessimistic on Adobe Support right now.
    I suppose making it consistently ccwcountour doesn't help you overmuch though. Hrmm.

  • Problems with selection tools

    I am having trouble in CS6 with selecting a portion of my photo, with any of the tools- quick-selection, lasso or magnetic lasso.   What happens is that once I have completed my selection, I get strange rectangles of 'marching ants' throughout my selection.  These show up as different colours on the layer mask as well.  When I first used quick selection it worked properly.
    Is the tool somehow corrupted?

    Thanks Trevor.  It was both.  After considering the issue, and using the tool in Elements on my laptop, I decided somehow the tool driver file had been corrupted, and did another install, which thankfully fixed the problem.  I'm new to CS6 and was very surprised to have this kind of thing happen.  I did a separate backup of my uncorrupted CS6 program files, and plan to do another backup this morning, just to be safe.
    Fortunately, it's all good.

    Please help me...
    Regards...

    I don�t have a complete picture because I don�t know what values you are passing in the select and I don�t know your column types but this is what I think is happening from what you have shared.
    You may have misunderstood what the DISTINCT keyword does.
    The DISTINCT keyword applies to the full set of columns in the select (not just the first column). So in your case it would be equivalent to:
    SELECT vta_prod, vta_fecha, vta_mesa
    FROM Ventas
    WHERE ...
    GROUP BY by vta_prod, vta_fecha, vta_mesa
    So, it doesn't matter that you only have 3 distinct vta_prod values if you have multiple values being returned in the other columns. The vta_mesa column can only a return a single value as �0�. That leaves the vta_fecha column which is probably a date/time column and is probably the column that is returning the three other distinct values (one date with three distinct times).
    (3 vta_prod) x (3 vta_fecha) x (1 vta_mesa) or 3x3x1 = 9 rows
    So find a way to strip the time from vta_fecha in your select statement and your SQL should return the results you expect. I�m not an Access expect but I think I remember you can use something like the �Convert� or �DatePart� functions to make that happen (check your documentation to be sure)..
    A couple of asides;
    1) You should use a PreparedStatement and rarely if ever use Statement.
    2) You should start Java variable names with lower case.
