Re-size selection after moving to another image

I did this quite often when I had CS5, but did not try this until a few days ago with CS6. It seems after I selected a portion of one image and moved it to another that the selection would become square and allow me to fine tune its size to fit the new image(in CS5). This does not hpaaen in CS6. Have I forgotten a step or is it different in CS6?
Thanks
Paul

I think you forgot the the steps you used. A non square Aspect Ratios selection should not change to a square one because of a move. However to selection will be resampled if the two documents have different resolution. You can tweak the size by using free transform on the new layer. However you should constrain the transform to maintain the layers aspect ratio otherwise the contents of the layer will distort.

Resize after dragging into another image

This is my first post here. I have been a Photoshop user for years, but just upgraded to a new computer and CS5 Windows. While using CS2 I often would drag an image into another image and then resize it so that it looked the way I wanted in the new image. Now, when I drag an image into another, I can't resize it. What do I need to turn on or off. Files are the same format and bit depth.
Thanks
Paul

Are you saying the way you were set up before, you immediately saw the resizing handles, and you could drag them to resize?
I know there's an option for that, but finding it... Always a challenge...
Ah, found it. Do this:
1. Activate the Move tool (4 way arrow cursor) in the Tools panel.
2. Check the [ ] Show Transform Controls box at the top of the main Photoshop window.

Powermac G4 MDD won't power on after moving to another building

Hi all. My MDD dual 1Ghz machine was running like a champ at home, then I decided it would get more use as the main recording and editing machine at church. So, i pack it up take it to church, plug it in, and i get a little light then nothing. It takes a few pushes of the button to finally get it to spur to life. Any idea why just moving to another building would cause this? I took it back home and it works fine...any suggestions will be helpful

Multiple Apple ID's after moving to another country

Hi all
This is probably a well known issue already, but I am posting my experience here for visibility to Apple.
I moved from New Zealand to Australia in August. Both countries obviously have independant iTunes/App Stores. After relocating to Australia, I heard about a bunch of great apps I could get for my iDevices, however they were only available in the Australia iTunes store. There was no option for me to change my existing NZ iTunes/App Store account to Australia, so I was forced to create a new Apple ID for purchasing apps from the Australian App Store. Now it's extremely annoying when I want to update Apps on my phone, because some are acquired through the NZ store and some through to AU store.
Why can we not just change the country our Apple ID is set for? It makes it extremely difficult, even for travellers visiting other countries, to get localised Apps for while they are there. Is it a licensing issue?
Anyone else have this problem too?

Unable to open a iphoto library after moving to another hard drive.

Due to space issues on my Mac Book Pro, I moved my iPhoto library to an external hard drive. Once the transfer was complete I created a new library and then tried to relaunch the old library off the Ext HD. It now tells me the library is locked or on a locked device or I don't have permission. Neither of the those are in effect. The Ext HD is fine, when I go to Get Info on the iPhoto library it says I have custom access. and the locked box is not checked.
Any thoughts!?!
Thanks!
Kyle

What format is the external drive? It must be Mac OS extended (journaled) to house the iPhoto library.
I'm not sure what the creation of a new library was about ro where you created it or why
what do you see if you depress the option key and launch iPhoto and use the select library command? Can you access your library on the EHD that way?

CS5 - Image set at one size shrinks when dragged into another image?

I have Photoshop CS5 for Windows (just purchased this week). I am working on a school project in which I am editing an image and then dragging it into a calendar.
While working with the original image, I size it to 4.627"w X 4"h. Then when I go to drag it into the calendar layer, which is the same size, it shrinks drastically.
Why is this and how do I stop it?
For one image I was able to move it and it did not change size. But with all the others, I am having this shrinking problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Britt

The change in size is due to different resolutions.
You can set resolution in the Image > Image size dialog.

Why does canvas size increase after shadow applied to image?

PE5 - Why does the canvas size of my project increase every time I apply drop-down shadow to a photo layer? I can re-size the canvas with no problem, but it keeps "growing" with each time I apply the effect. Photos are not near the margin of the canvas.

Not sure what you mean... it is a transparent 11x4 canvas and the layer above it contains an image that is 1 inch high ...other layers with the same size images are also present, but none are locked or "merged" (forgot the term used with PE) with the canvas...

Locating tracks after moving to another external disk

Dear all,
I am sure this question has arisen many times before. i would be grateful if anyone knows the link to the answer.
My iTunes was stored on one external disk. I moved it to another, that is, it is in the same location (a timecapsule), but the folder name containing the library has changed. Now, the location of all items stored in the library in the old folder name are not located, and I am asked to locate them individually anew. No problems doing that. But I would prefer a global solution, if there is one. Of course, I could rename the new folder on the timecapsule back to the old. But I would prefer not to! Any hints?
Regards
Mr Kizkij

If you move the songs yourself, iTunes will still look for them in the old location because you did not update the iTunes database (by moving the music incorrectly).
To fix your problem, do this...
Open iTunes prefs -> Advanced and make sure the iTunes music folder location is set to the iTunes music folder on the external.
Then run this script -> iTunes Track CPR v1.3
In the future, the correct way to move your music is...
Go to iTunes menu Edit -> prefs -> Advanced.
Set the iTunes music folder location to where you want on the external drive.
Now go to iTunes menu File -> Library -> Consolidate.
This will copy everything in iTunes to the location on the external.
Once it is finished, you can delete \Music\iTunes\ iTunes music folder.
Delete ONLY the iTunes music folder on the internal.

Music not showing up in my Music Library after moving to another drive

My C: drive was full, so I moved the file to my F: drive (have done this before, but somehow it only copied it and reverted to the old location on C).
I found multiple iTunes folders throughout my many drives and got rid of all but the ones on the F: drive. It now shows multiple folders with all my songs on F: drive. However, they do not show up in my Music Library. I've tried the preferences \advanced \general \copy music to library trick and still nothing. Don't think I lost the music since I have all these folders (1 for each artist) and it looks like a lot of bytes.
Please help..
Alternatively, I'd like to know how to get the whole library on my laptop and off of this old computer that ran out of space. The F: drive is detachable.
Thank you in advance

Do you use iTunes Match? Others have complained that it can take some time (overnight?) for items to appear in their library because of Match activities.
Can you play a file with Quicktime Player? Is it complete?
Delete an item from the library but not the actual file. Add the file again.

Activation after moving to another computer

My G4 PowerMac died mid-project (motherboard) and I had to transfer all my software and projects by removing the hard drives into a desktop hard drive case, and then reactivate the programmes.
Most were easy, but PSE6 told me that I had already use the permitted number of activations - I have it on my MacBook also. The window tells me that I must deactivate PSE from one computer before I use it on the new one (I can't because the motherboard is dead) or buy a new activation. This seems a bit hard.
I have spent over an hour trying to contact Adobe, without success. The Chat hosts are not on line.
This is very porrt service. Does anybody have any comments, or, perhaps more helpfully, suggestions?

I thought I answered your question. I will try again:
I had a downloaded copy from the trial web site, which I used under
trial conditions, and then I bought it, by paying over the web and
getting an activation number. I have no boxed version.
Subsequent to my writing, in frustration to the forum, I decided to
try contact Adobe through their Irish telephone number ( I used Skype
to avoid horrendous BT charges).
After a comparitively short wait (5 - 6 minutes) I was put through to
an Adobe operative somewhere in the Far East, who talked me through
the problem and gave me a new authorisation number, which has allowed
the software to be activated.
So the problem is solved.
But it would be so much better if Adobe had an efficient customer
support service from the numbers and chat fields it shows on its UK
web site.
Thank you for your interest.

Installing Cartridges after moving to another country

My printer was bought from Russian Federation, while I am living in Finland.
For a long time, cartridges brought with printer, worked (178), but lately when i tried to install new ones, Finnish (364), they didn't fit. All information that i found was, that i must ask for online re-setup for printer from HP.
Tried early a few times to find how can i do that, didn't managed, but now i really need to solve that problem. I'm tired of searching how can i connect to anybody from Your support.
When i try to get e-mail adress or when i try to get online chat, i'm asked for warranty. In some reason it can't check if my warranty is still active or not, besides if it is not active i still need to re-setup the printer. I didn't know when it was new (when i bought it) that i will get that problem, there was no information about that.
Printer is
HP Photosmart Wireless e-all-in-one printer - b110d

I will ask to have this escalated. Region changes are a free service offered by HP. You may be contacted by someone shortly.

Finding and installing cartridges after moving to a new country

HP customizes some products and cartridges to meet specific local customer needs. During your initial printer setup, the printer automatically set itself to accept cartridges specific to a country or region. If you take your product from that country to another country, you might not find cartridges with the same number on the label as your original cartridges. These cartridges will not work in your product even though they appear to be compatible with it. If you purchase cartridges that you believe are compatible with your product, and then try to install them, you might see one of the following error messages:
'Incompatible Cartridges'
'Cartridge Not Intended for this Printer'
'Incorrect Cartridges'

HT1918 What do you do when you have moved to another country?

My credit info has changed after moving to another country and my current itunes account will only accept US information. I went to Itunes canada and changed my info, but when I try to purchase, Itunes opens and the info is US and cannot be changed to Canada.

Unsupported image format after moving from one project to another

I scanned several thousands of images to my Aperture library. Went thru all of them providing adjustments to many of them, keywords to all of them and adjust date/time to all of them. All of the pics were visible, format is jpeg.
This is a managed library (all pics within Aperture db).
This morning started to restructure the project files (had three of them). After moving couple of hundred images to newly created project file I started seeing "unsupported image format" red screen after clicking the jpeg. 20-30% of the pictures clicked showed on viewer "unsupported image format".
Tried regenerating the previews. Tried command-option start with first fix the preferences option. Then with rebuild option.
Tried moving the pictures back to their original project file.
No joy... Still 20-30% of the pictures show the "unsupported image format".
Aperture 2.1.
Amy other tricks I could try?
Reported this to Apple aperture feedback of course.

Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
+Note: there is no importing involved+
The thumbs appear, but the images are added 2 or 3 times each and the events are all messed up.
This happens when you import one Library to another, which you've done by drag and drop:
Creating a black library and over writing the new with the old.
Your problem is arising because of the Network Share. iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
