Rotate view key gone sticky?

I routinely use the r key while using the brush, to adjust the orientation of my canvas. However, since a few hours ago, the r key does switch to the Rotate View tool, instead of temporarily activating it and returning to my paint brush on release. So, after each rotate view, I must manually switch back to my paint brush, which is quite annoying.
It is definitely not my keyboard, as assigning a different shortcut does not solve the problem, and other applications don't show sticky keys either. Also, other tools, like the Hand and the Eyedropper, work as usual, it is just the Rotate View which is malfunctioning.
(setup: late 2008 MBP with Cintiq 12wx (problem occurs when using it or not))

Well, I reduced this one to reproducible proportions, and I don't think this problem just occurred today: it has always been there.
If I hit the R key and actually do a rotation, the switch to the Rotate View tool is temporarily, as it should be.
If I hit the R key and release it without doing a rotation, the switch is permanent; I believe this is a bug.
Could anyone reproduce this behaviour?

  • Rotate display is gone  from Display-Preferences

    I've had my new MacBook for a week connected to a DVI Samsung 17" LCD monitor. A couple of days ago I lost the portrait mode on the Samsung and checked the Diplay control in System Preferences. The Rotate tool is gone and only "show display in menu bar" is there.
    In doing all the Software Updates is it likely that 10.4.10 knocked out this capability on the MacBook? Has anyone else lost the potrait view on their second desktop? Pity, if so; it's one of the reasons I bought the MacBook over the Pro.

    I use a samsung DVI 19" LCD external display. On my display preferences the show display in menu bar is on the display control for the MacBook. It is not on the display preferences for the external display. In that window is where my rotate is. I also am running 10.4.10 and mine still works perfectly.

  • Rotate View Tool (R) reset shortcut

    Is it possible to create a custom keyboard shortcut to Reset View in the Rotate View Tool? 

    The Esc key should reset the view to zero.

  • Rotate view tool over mouse center?

    Hello all!
    As the subject states - is there a way to use rotate view tool so that it's center of rotation is on the mouse / cursor location?
    I have tried different key command combinations and no go. If this is not possible at this point, then I would love to have that as a feature! It would be SO much more efficient and much less frustrating.
    I hate having the rotation center in the center of the window rather than where I am painting. Now, if there is an option to do this somewhere then please disregard my rant.
    Thanks
    Ray

    No, I don't mean that you wouldn't be using a mouse to do so- of course, you would be using the mouse. I am just simply saying that when you rotate the image using the rotate view tool, it doesn't spin the canvas around the point of the mouse, it spin's it as you said around the image window's center. That's all I'm saying.
    To me it would be much faster if it were to have an option to spin around the mouse's center because, as I mentioned before, try working on a zoomed in corner of your image and then when zoomed in and in that corner of the document, use the rotate view tool, because you want to get a better angle for painting in that corner area of the zoomed in image. Spin the image 45 deg and see what happens.
    The area you were just working on is now totally out of view and you either zoom out to find the area again and pan back to center that location and zoom back in to continue working on it or pan around to find and center it again. Either way, that stinks in comparison to just rotate the view based on either your last mouse click or where you mouse is at the moment.
    Do you understand?

  • Control "Rotate View Tool" using Wacom touch strip?

    Hi, I am wondering if there is any way to hookup the rotate view tool to the intuos3 touch strip. Preferably through a setting but I would be willing to develop a plug-in if necessary.
    Thank you,
    Nathan

    Wacom wasn't jumping to implement this feature. They suggested I find a keyboard method. After some digging I found one. Open Wacom settings panel, goto the touch strip tab, select "Keystroke..." function, for up enter "r{Enter}{Shift}{Up}{Enter}" and down "r{Enter}{Shift}{Down}{Enter}". This will rotate your view by 10 degrees at a time. Remove the {Shift} and it will rotate at 1 degree increments; I found 1 degree to be far too slow. The only thing that would make this method a bit better would be a "select last tool" key-combo, as the rotate tool is still selected when finished. If any one is aware of such a command please let us know.
    Thanks,
    Nathan

  • Control "Rotate View Tool" (CS4) using Wacom touch strip

    Hi, I am interested in controlling the rotate view tool using the intuos3 touch strip. This provides a much more paper like experience when rotating the page while sketching. Is this something that could be done with a plug-in? My development skills lie primarily in C# .net so C programming is a bit foreign to me, but I would be willing to develop it if no one else has looked into, or is interested in looking into this.
    Thank you,

  • WHEN Illustrator is likely to be adding "rotate view" tool, (like they have in Photoshop) or are they NOT GOING TO?!

    Hi everyone, I am trying to find out WHEN Illustrator is likely to be adding "rotate view" tool, (like they have in Photoshop) or if they are not going to do this at all.
    I hope someone from Adobe Illustrator reads these forums and responds. There is an existing thread that has no official response from Adobe, and it has literally tens of thousands of views!? Please Adobe Illustrator, can you give people the official response they need so they can plan their workflow.
    Apparently Affinity Designer is going to be adding a Rotate View Tool shortly and their app is only $50 one-off payment too, so perhaps you ought to respond before other people start making the switch? The rotate view tool is something illustrators really need, we already have it in Manga Studio, and it makes life so much easier. You can't really draw on a CINTIQ in vector form without it, at least not as well as you should be able to.
    Can you please update your paying customers so we can make an informed decision.
    Look forward to receiving a response.

  • InDesign CS5 won't save rotated views as PDF

    I'm using InDesign CS5 to create a calendar. I am using rotated view for the spreads. I have page 4-27 I want to send to my client for proofing. I only want the "smallest File" for screen viewing ioption. I've never had a problem creating PDFs. This is the first time using viewer spreads rotated. Wondering if this is creating the problem.
    The background task panel has been stuck at 42% for over an hour. InD won't let me quit the save. It won't allow me to close the project window, or Force quit the program.
    Assistance needed!!!

    Thank you for your reply. I did know about the rotated view not transating in the PDF. I was wondering though if it affected the speed of the PDF creating...undoing the rotation.
    I was under a time crunch to send off a proof, so after finally force quitting ID, I saved each spread as a separate PDF and then compiled them into a multi-page PDF. It all went without a hiccup. Possibly if I had restarted my computer, opened ID and prepared the multi-pg PDF at that point, as suggested below, then it may have worked. I will be trying that at some point as I will have more comps to prepare as the project proceeds.
    Thank you.

  • How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

      How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) for Windows 8 is a relatively new product, which was introduced in December 2012.  Adobe Reader XI, X, or older is a completely separate product - a traditional desktop app with classic UI.  The desktop version has been available in the market for 20 years (!!) and it does not share any common components with Adobe Reader Touch.
    Adobe Reader Touch does not support page (view) rotation yet.
    For Windows 8, you can download and install Adobe Reader XI from the link below.

    For Windows RT, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer), instead.

  • Controlling the 'Rotate View Tool'

    Hi there,
    I'm a Flash/Flex developer working with PatchPanel and SwitchBoard to build AIR apps that can communicate with Creative Suite tools.
    I was hoping to write a PatchPanel plug-in that would be able to control the 'Rotate View Tool' in Photoshop CS4 however, when I looked through the DOM there was no mention of it within the JavaScript Reference. My next tactic was to use the ScriptListener plug-in to record the action but alas, the resulting log did not contain the 'amount of rotation' as a variable :-(
    Can anyone verify whether it is possible to dynamically control the 'Rotate View Tool'? If so, how would I go about passing the desired rotation value from my PatchPanel plug-in to Photoshop?
    I should also say that I do not have access to the Photoshop SDK and have no experience of C++ but am willing to invest some time into solving this problem because I have something REALLY sweet planned. I'll keep it a surprise for now but if I can find a solution then I'd be more than happy to share it freely.
    Many thanks in advance...
    Cheers,

    Hi Andy,
    It doesn't look like there are public APIs in the SDK. You've also found that what you want is not Actionable, thus no scripting support. Sorry.
    Feel free to drop me an email and I can file a feature request.
    regards,

  • ROTATE VIEW TOOL QUESTION-CS-6

    First time I've tried using this tool (That's my excuse):
    I used the tool to rotate the image, as desired, but saw no "Commit" / confirm command, as with the Crop Tool.
    I wished to crop the image after applying Rotate View Tool, but when I select the Crop Tool, the image rotates back to it's original position???
    Leigh

    The rotate view tool is strictly for changing the viewing angle, so that you can paint or use other tools without awkward hand motions.  It's set to return to normal.  If you want to rotate and crop, use the crop tool.

  • Rotate View/Canvas

    Hi,
    Im searching for the "rotate view" tool in my trial version of PS Elements 11. Or some other convenient way to freely turn  the canvas, allowing me to draw with my tablet comfortably.
    I want to rotate the image as a whole, without actually rotating/changing the picture, as you would rotate a sheet of paper. So no transformation.
    Is this compass-looking tool I've seen people use Photoshop-exclusive and not part of Elements?

    Rereading your question I may have misunderstood - are you saying you want to rotate the underlying canvas but not move the image in any way?
    If so you are probably thinking of Image> Resize> Canvas Resize (Alt+Ctrl+C).
    Cheers,

  • Rotate view drifts over

    I recently upgraded to cs6, and now when I use the rotate view tool the center of rotation drifts down and to the right as I rotate. It continues to drift until it reaches the bottom and then it jumps to the top and continues down again. This is really affecting my ability to rotate quickly and accurately.
    Has anyone else encountered something like this?

    I'm using an AMD Firepro V5900, so it could be an ATI driver problem. I recently installed the latest drivers so I might try rolling it back a little.
    It seems to happen regardless of input device (cintiq 24HD, logitech mouse)
    Meanwhile I still have cs5 installed and can confirm that this does not happen in that version so I feel like the problem is somehow linked to cs6

  • Rotate view, but keep guides vertical/horizontal?

    hi all
    curious if there's any way to keep guides vertical / horizontal when using the rotate view feature?
    thanks for your tips!
    LML

    "Non-destructive" is really a "term of art" used as shorthand for "without affecting the original pxels of the image".  The opposite doesn't really or necessarily imply that the pixels get destroyed or damaged, simply transformed in some way.  That can be beneficial to the image, of course.

  • Rotate View Tool

    In Photoshop CS4, should one be able to rotate the canvas using the rotate view tool?
    When I try to rotate the canvas a message appears saying that the tool only works with an OpenGL enabled window.
    What does that mean?
    Grateful for any help.

    No, there's no printed manual for CS4.  But that's OK, the last printed manual that came with an earlier version of Photoshop was so bad that it was worthless anyway.
    The Photoshop Help is found under the Help menu in Photoshop CS4.  From that link you can also download a 40MB PDF file containing the totality of the help files.
    Of course you have bought a graphics card, and you do have it installed, otherwise you could not see anything on your monitor at all.  
    The short answer is to go to the Photoshop menu:
    Photoshop > Preferences > Performance… > GPU Settings >
    If you have a box that says Enable OpenGL, make sure that box is checked ("ticked").  If you do not see it, or if it is grayed out, then your graphics card (also known as "video card") does NOT support the OpenGL features in Photoshop CS4 (such as the Rotate Tool, etc.).
    Hope that helps.
