PS SC6 Jittery Cursor in Layers Pallet

I have all my pallets on my second display. In Photoshop CS6, when I open or close a layer group folder in the Layers pallet, the cursor becomes jittery and stuttered. If I move the mouse off the pallet, the mouse returns to normal, and mouse tracking is smooth. If I move the mouse back over the Layers pallet, it's fine, until I interact with a layer on that pallet. At which point, the jittery mouse action returns. Anyone else experiencing this? I know this wasn't an issue with CS5, but I also recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, so it's possible it's a Mountain Lion/PS6 quirk. Thanks.
Mark

Hi Curt,
Thanks for the reply. It's definitely not an interfence issue. Since, it only happens when I am interacting with the Layers pallet. The documents I'm working on have hundreds of layers, so maybe that's part of the issue? Anyone else having this?

Photoshop CS6 Jittery Cursor in Mountain Lion

My cursor gets jittery when it's moving over the layers pallet. When I move the cursor over the canvas and back to the layers pallet, its fine...until I click a layer, then it get jittery again. I'm running CS6 with Mountain Lion and began after OS install. Any ideas for a solution?

I’m having the same problem with my Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner and Adobe Photoshop CS6. It does the initial overview scan then I get the same blank window as BigNoud shows above. I've done a Software Update and have also updated OSX to 10.8.1.
I know for the Epson you can get a Mountain Lion compatible scan software from SilverFast for about $35.00 as an upgrade here.
I haven't gone that route yet as I don't want to give up any more money for my Apple/Adobe experience.
Any help would be appreciated.

How do you stack different photos in the editor layers pallet

How do you stack different photos in the editor layers pallet? I can get different photos in the editor, but I cannot figure out how to get different photos into the layers pallet at the same time. Please help!!!!!

Just to clarify, you can never see the layers panel for more than one photo at a time. The suggestions you got will show all the photos, but because they are now combined as layers in one image.
If you want to see more photos in the editor at once, go to the preferences>general and turn on Allow Floating Documents, then go to Window>Images>Float all in windows, then Cascade or Tile.
But you will still only see the layers panel for the image that is active at the moment.

Using 2 monitors. I can't get my Layers Pallet to move to the 2nd monitor

I'm using 2 monitors. I can't get my Layers Pallet to move to the 2nd monitor screen. It is simply locked to the right side of my 1st monitor. A solution would be great. Sorry if it's a noob question.
Thanks for your time.
Monty

No problem. We've all had newbie questions at one time or another.
However, I am going to have to put on my clairvoyant hat and guess you are running Photoshop 10.0.1 (CS3). :/
In CS3, do NOT attempt to move the palette well, i.e. the dark gray zone above the palettes. That you cannot move.
Instead, grab each palette individually by the light gray bar just at the top of each palette.

Layers Pallette Question

I use PSE9 for digital scrapbooking. Lately, when I have several pictures and elements on the page, I have to click on the Layers Pallette to select an item to move. If I don't click on another item, the item I have just selected will move when I move my mouse. I used to be able to click on an element or picture on the page and move it.

With the Move Tool selected you probably don't have Auto-Select checked in the tool options bar.

How do I see the layers pallet and the photo bin in PSE 11?

How do I see the Layers Pallet in PSE 11? It is not showing up on the right side of my screen. I also cannot get to the Photo Bin at the bottom of the screen.

You must be in Expert Mode. Click the word Expert at the top of your screen, and then you will see the buttons to make them appear.

Annoying layers pallette problem

Can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it.

Ho to resize the thumbnails in the layers pallet

The layers pallet is quite small even though I have maxed out the thumbnail button. When viewing with a hires monitor the thumbnails
ae quite Small. The only work around I have found is to reduce the resoultion of the monitor. This defeats the whole reason for having
a hires Monitor.
Thanks

Is it possible to rearrage buttons in the layers pallet?

I would like to do this because I find it very akward to have everything in the top section of the layers pallet, while just a few buttons are way down on the bottom. I've been using SAI for years and would like to transition over to photoshop for painting. Would it be possible to move all the buttons along the bottom row in the layer pallet to the top, just under everything else using scripting? If not, is it possible to create an alternate layer pallet using scripting or plugins?

Yes, it is absolutely possible.
So long as each button on the layers panel is associated with its own keyboard shortcut, then this can be done easily.
With Autohotkey, you can create your own toolbars and place them anywhere on the Photoshop screen. Each button you create will have its own icon image (.bmp for example), and when clicked on, will send its keyboard shortcut to Photoshop.
For example:
If you want to add a 'new layer' button to your new custom toolbar, you just create your own little .bmp image of new layer (whatever you want it to look like, maybe a red '+' sign), then program the button to send 'ctrl/shift/n' to photoshop, and it will add a new layer to Photoshop whenever you click this button. This allows you to ignore the default 'new layer' button that's on the bottom of the layer panel and instead use your own custom button. You can have this button appear anywhere on your photoshop screen; it allows you to drag it anywhere on the screen. You can add unlimited buttons wiht unlimited keyboard shortcuts to your custom toolbar and have it look anyway you wish - you design it.

My tool bar and Layers pallet are behind my free floating files how do I get them on top?

I have been a Photoshop CS user for about 13 years...I recently downladed CS5 to try it before I buy it. I've been a CS3 user for 3 or 4 years now. I love Photoshop but other than Photoshop I am not a very savvy computer user. So please bear with me as I try to explain my problem.
When I open PSCS5 it fills my computer screen completely and looks like this: A thin 1/2 inc strip on teh left that holds my "tools", a wider 2 inch strip on the right that holds "Layers, Channels, Paths" and a 1 1/2 inch strip on the top, then a big work area in the middle.
I usually have 2- 12X12 300 dpi new files open AND 10-15 photos or scrapbook elements and papers open to work on at any one time.
In prior versions of CS the tool strip and layer pallets strips were ALWAYS on top so I could access them no matter how much was open on the screen. In CS5 I keep burying them and have to dig them out to use them. When I use "Float All in Window", which I need, using Tabs does not allow me to see everything I need to see to work on documents, how do I get the tools and layers on TOP only?
THANKS for listening...I hope you can help!
Theresa

You probably need to undock the panels on the right and the toolbox by clicking and dragging on the top out into the workspace.
Then move them back to the sides of the workspace without docking them (the blue line means they are going to dock)

Jittery Cursor Issue Photoshop CS6/CC

So I'm on a bug hunting spree, and there's one slightly annoying but not serious bug that's been around for years. The best way to describe it is that the cursor vibrates very fast in some circumstances, especially when using the Brush tool and adjusting its size using Cmd + Alt + Drag, as well as pressing Alt to sample a color when using the Brush tool. The issue does not happen when using the eyedropper tool.
Video:
This has been around in both Photoshop CS6 and CC, on both OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I have reproduced the bug on both my Late 2008 MacBook Pro using a Wacom Bamboo Fun, a Wacom Intuos 4 and a Wacom Intuos 5 (all with latest drivers) and same with four new iMacs running both Mountain Lion and Mavericks. It does not happen with a mouse. It cannot be interference, as I can always reliably reproduce this is three separate cities around the world.
If the Wacom tablet was sending jittery coordinates to the computer, then surely the mouse cursor would also vibrate, or at least the Eyedropper tool would exhibit the same bug that the Brush tool while pressing Alt to color sample does.
Anyone with the same issue? To test it, please use a Wacom pen and try adjusting the brush size using Cmd + Alt + Drag, as well as using the brush tool and pressing Alt to sample a color (preferably on a photo or noise so that you can clearly see the difference between various pixels and colors. Be sure to not be zoomed in too much, try zooming to 100% or less, otherwise the pixels are too far from each other for the jitter to make a difference.

I'm aware of interference and optical mice jittering, but the only nearby mouse I have is a Magic Mouse and it's completely turned off all the time. I also know what interference looks like, it usually affects all applications and tools in Photoshop, not just a specific tool.
PS: In the video I say "Cmd + Alt + Drag" but I meant to say "Ctrl + Alt + Drag", it's the shortcut to change brush size.

I have PS Elements 9...Layers Pallete disappeared

Could someone tell me what/how in the world I can restore my Layers so that when I edit my tiff files they show up in right hand column? I have looked EVERYWHERE -- gone to Preferences, etc. -- and I cannot seem to restore the Layers to play with.
Thanks!

Bug while making a PDF plus layers pallete bug

in CS6 13.0.4 x 64, the PDF process is iffy for me. Sometimes it's fine. But other times, an incomplete image results. Is this related to the overall type bugginess that Adobe recommends we fix (which I've not yet done)...? (http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html)
I'm lazy, but also, I don't have a lot of confidence I'll do it correctly, and I have a myriad of deadlines every week.
While I've your eye, here's another question relating to the layers palette:
Layers sometimes stick to my curser and I can't unstick them until I go back to the palette and try to place them back where they orignally were. (I'll be really embarrassed if this is a new feature of CS6 that I've not figured out yet...)
Thank you in advance for help on these two items.

Unlikely that the PDF issues relate to fonts per se. More like the PDF Flattener doing something wrong or not doing anything to retain appearance based on your PDF export settings. Pixel data in PDFs only gets tiled, if a visual construct you use requires it to be flattened and apparently that goes for some reason wrong. and your "sticky" layers probably point to graphics or input device issues on your system, so check your graphics and tablet driver and such.

Can you Nudge Layers in InDesign like Photoshop CS5?

Hello,
I have been trying to find ways to nudge the InDesign layers by selecting the specific layer/layers in the layers pallete. At the moment, the only way I know to move the layers, is by selecting and clicking on the layer on the document itself. The issue was, that when I duplicate a group of layers, I could not just select the duplicated layers, but I had to select every component of the duplicated layers on top of the original layer, so I could not simply drag and drop a selection cursor.
But the point being, is there any way to nudge the InDesign layers by selecting the specific layer/layers in the layers palette.
Thanks

Not exactly. You can't nudge the layers, but you can select all the objects on them (on a spread-by-spread basis) and move them all together. To do that click the small square to the right of the layer name, or Alt/Opt click the layer name itself.
Layer in ID are more similar to layers in Illustrator than they are to Photoshop.

Help please! Layers locked

Hi
i want to open Indesign Files but all layers seem to be locked!
There is a symbol "circle with dash" that appears when hoovering over the pages?
Help please!
Ingrid

I'm still using ID CS5.5 on Mac OS, and my cursor is a pencil with a line through it on locked layers, so I'm not sure if they changed the interface or if you are seeing something different. Either way, have you tried opening the layers pallet (Window>Layers) and unlocking the layer (click the lock icon beside the layer you want to unlock)?
