PS CS5: outline box while moving a layer

When moving a layer in Photoshop CS5, there's now a gray box that appears around the layer while you move it. This is SO distracting! I've been googling this to find a way to turn it off, and could only find a few reviews that mentioned it. Those reviews touted this as a feature, but I have no clue how this could possibly be useful. I'm moving layers to find a placement that looks good, and a random gray rectangle is NOT helpful!
Is there any way to turn this off? I've been searching through the preferences but no luck.

Success! Thanks Craig.
I found it here: http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/Photoshop-CS5-Optional-Plugins-Download-77034.html
Unfortunate that we have to turn to third parties, but I'm glad there's an easy solution to this one!
For reference, here's the review I mentioned before:
http://www.macworld.com/reviews/product/464051/review/photoshop_cs5.html
"Other additions include a ghosted outline as you drag layer content using the Move tool (helpful when moving small items)"
Helpful, sure!

  • Keeping a mask stationary while moving the object

    Hi all,
    How do I lock a mask in place while moving the layer it is masking through the mask and out the other side. I find that the mask always wants to emulate the motion of its object, which makes sense. I've been manually deleting the motion path for the mask or animating a resize that makes the mask stay in the same location. I know there must be an easy way to do it.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Howdy,
    Put the layer in a group, and mask the group. This will allow you to independently transform the layer without affecting the mask.

  • How to see the object while moving on the artboard?

    hello everyone;
    maybe a silly question; how to see the object while moving on the artboard? i dont wanna see only the objects bounding box(outline of the object). i wanna see the object it self. thank you.

    What have they gone and messed up now?
    When I drag an object (with bounding boxes turned on), the object moves and the bounding box stays still until I stop dragging, upon which it snaps to the object’s new position.
    If I don’t have bounding boxes turned on (as I usually work), the object moves when dragged.
    If what Bedri says is right, they’ve gone and mended something that wasn’t busted.

  • Moving mask layer also moves layer underneath

    Ref: Lynda course http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=55426 Last item in Chapter 2, "Pasting into Layer Mask" demonstrates that after pasting the layer mask (sketch of a tree) onto another layer, you can then move it into place with the "move" tool. While following along, when I tried to move it, it also cut out and moved the layer that I pasted the tree onto. I noticed that the "move" tool has a pair of scissors attached to it that I can't get rid of. I figure that's the culprit. What am I **** wrong? I have the mask layer selected in the layers panel and doing everything as in the tutorial. I repeated the tutorial 3 times with the same result.
    I have CS4 Windows.
    The files "drawing" and "sketch" are the lesson images. The objective is to make a layer mask out of the tree sketch and to place it onto the "paper" layer and then moving it into place as if the hand is doing the sketching.  "layer cut out.PSD" is my result. You can see part of the drawing pad is cut out

    I got it! (I think) I did not have to deselect anything. I can move it as long as I click on the unselected part of the layer mask AND the chain unlinked. The tutorial did it with chain linked and moving from within the selected area of the mask (tree). Maybe her workspace was set up differently but I set mine up according to her directions as well. Lynda.com will have to explain that one, but I'm happy as long as I was able to do it. By the way, those tutorials on Lynda are great for the most part and definitely worth the money. I just wish I had more time to sit through them all.
    I know you guys are way beyond this petty stuff, but if I get stuck here I'm in trouble. Thanks.

  • Parameter screen pops-up while moving between worksheets

    Hello!
    I have a workbook with mutiple sheets. Everytime i navigate from one sheet to the other, teh parameter page pops-up !
    I am using Discoverer 9i and have checked the "Allow only one value for all

    I have developed the workbook in the desktop version and am viewing it through Discoverer viewer. We have a custom parameter page that the user uses to enter parameters.
    There are 4 parameters defined and I have checked all of them as "allow only one value for all sheets". I have also un-checked the "let the user enter mutiple values" check-box.
    Even in the Disco desktop, I get the parameter page while moving from one sheet to the other. When depolyed on the web ( viewer), the parameter page pops up when the user navigates between worksheets.
    How do I resolve this ? Is this a known bug or is there a patch available for both viewer and desktop ?
    Regards.

  • Getting serial number box while transfer post in MB1A but not while doing MIGO

    Hi Team
    I am getting serial number box while transfer post in MB1A.
    But getting below error under serial number tab while doing GR through MIGO of outbound delivery.
    Issuing plant and receiving plant, material, batch, qty are same in both cases.
    How can I get serial number box when doing GR? Does any customizing changes needed?
    Br, Kiran U

    Movement type is different for those two screen shots, also you are saying you are using MB1A, but you are using 301 movement type. Generally 301 movement type is not allowed from MB1A t-code.
    Please check these SAP notes if relevant for your case.

  • Is there a way to enable the "protect tones" box while working in Lab mode for dodging and burning?

    Is there a way to enable the "protect tones" box while working in Lab  Color mode for dodging and burning?

    Don't think so. Those algorithms are built around the RGB color model as far as I know and there is no way to achieve the same result in other color modes. It may not be programmaticalyl and matehmatically impossible, but it's probably too complicated for a quick solution due to constant color space conversion math getting involved.

    Can't delete certain emails from Mail.  Instead, I get the message "An error occurred while moving messages to the mailbox, etc."  The problem appears randomly.

    I had the same problem, and it was solved by going to the Mailbox menu and selecting "rebuild."

    I seem to be having trouble deleting messages since updating to Snow Leopard. I get the following message:

    Is this from mailboxes in an IMAP account, or rather POP or On My Mac? You might try using Rebuild in this single trash mailbox.

  • Steps required while moving employees from one organisational

    Can any one explain and write down steps required while moving employees from one organisational unit to other organisational unit.
    regards

    Hi ganesh,
    Firstly create the new position for the employee if it is not already existing.
    Then goto SPRO : Personnel Man. -> Pers. Adm-> Customizing procedures -> Actions -> Define infogroups -> infogroup.
    Only Copy 0001 is enough.
    Then Setup personnel actions with this infogroup.
    Then go to PA40 and execute this action for that specific employee.
    You will only need to change the position assignment, org unit, job, vs all come from position info.

  • How to get rid of black outline boxes persisting on screen

    Black outline boxes have started appearing around objects and icons that I’ve clicked on or text areas I've filled in. Sometimes these boxes persist on the screen in its original location until I go to a new program.
    For example – in PhotoShop, a black outline box appeared on the vertical slider area and then stayed in the same location on the screen until I switched to Safari – which then got it’s own boxes.
    I have a clear 20” Cinema Display.

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences and check if VoiceOver is turned on; if so, turn it off.
