"Scale Strokes and Effects" option should be more accessible

"Scale Strokes and Effects" should be moved outside the Preferences panel to the Options Bar. Whether I want it on or off depends entirely on the type of work I'm doing at the time. It is not a "set it and forget it" type of option.

If you're using Illustrator CS6, this option is available right in the Transform panel (earlier it used to be available only in the flyout menu of this panel). This has also been added to the Transform Effect dialog.

  • Why doesn't Photoshop CS5 automatically scale strokes and effects?

    I am looking everywhere for why Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically scale strokes and effects. I could've sworn there was a preference in CS4 but there's nothing resembling this in CS5. Driving me crazy!
    Whenever I do a Free Transform, the effects are completely out of whack and force me to waste time resetting them individually, layer by layer. I used to be able to grab any object or group of objects, do a transformation and Photoshop automatically recalculated. If anyone has a tip on how to avoid the annoyance of having to go layer by layer and forcibly adjusting that would be great.

    Layer style effect setting are in absolute pixel size values so if you change the scale of a layer the style size remains the same. You can edit the layers style effects after tou do a transform on the layer and change the absolute setting. If the layer has been rastersized or flattened you can not. I have request that Adobe add support for relative settings like inches, cm, mm etc which is relative to the documents dpi resolution. This would be very helpful for recording actions. 
    However photoshop can scale existing layer style for you when you use Image Size there is a check box.  If you need to scale a single layer and have its style scaled you need to do it in a round about way. Convert the layer to a smart object. Then instead of using transform double click on the layser smart object icon in the layers palette.  Photoshop will open that layer embedded smart object in Photoshop for you to work on it.. Use Image Size to resize the layer up or down in size and check resample constrain and the scale style check box.  Then use menu File>Save.  Photoshop will then update the embedded smart object in the smart object layer and you can close the document Photoshop opened for you to work on the smart object.

  • Cant use colours in AI free version.stroke and fill options are not active either

    cant use colours in AI free version.stroke and fill options are not active either

    In the Trial version of Illustrator try this:
    In the top right of your screen, choose 'Essentials' from the workspace menu.
    Then from the same menu, choose Reset Essentials.
    Next, click the Selection tool in the Tools panel (strip on the left side of your screen, it is the black pointer at the top).
    Click on the object you want to change the stroke and fill colour for. Does it display with little handles around it (this is called bounding box)? E.g. can you tell it is selected?
    You should see the Stroke and Fill options in the Control panel (top horizontal strip above your document), if the object you've selected is a path. But if for instance you selected as a placed photo, you won't see the Stroke and Fill options.
    If possible take a screenshot of what you are trying to do, and we can be of more help hopefully.

  • Scale Strokes & Effects in Photoshop CS5

    The Scale Strokes & Effects-option used to reside in the Preferences dialog box.
    Seems like it has been removed in CS5, anyonene know why, or where a simmilar function
    may be found?
    Thing is, when i add a Stroke (Layer Effect) to a layer, the thickness stays the same when I
    transform/resize(ctrl-T) that layer. I really need the border to shrink accordingly as shown in
    the image below.
    A workaround would be to convert the layer to a Smart Object, but when working with all too many
    layers, it's more about saving time.

    Don't remember seeing such an option in Preferences. You are getting confused with Illustrator.

  • Is there a way to temporarily disable "Scale strokes & effects"?

    I want to be able to scale some charts without changing the stroke size. But I don't want this preference permanently changed. Is there a key to hold down so that when I enlarge the charts that the stroke size stays the way it is? Thanks...
    julie

    Julie,
    Why go to the preferences?
    I suggested your using the Transform palette flyout and tick/untick Scale Strokes & Effects there.
    And you can scale up using the Transform palette by adding *2 and *2.5 in the W or H box and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter, so you can keep everything there.
    It also has the easy option of deciding where to scale from by selecting the relevant Reference Point.

  • When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?"  Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?

    When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?"  Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?

    I have a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS (eg: purchased from Apple).  I received the same message at some point and eventually (after reading a bit more) accepted "Download and Update".  No problem.  No apparent bad effects. It just seems to update things specific to the carrier (Bell Mobility in my case).

  • Cause and effect map, zoom = "fit to page" - default option

    when opening cause and effect map, the default zoom option is : zoom = 100%.
    how can I change the default to be : zoom = fit to page ?

    Sorry no workaround as yet...
    I too am now sick of the amount of expensive paper I have wasted due to the Preview app default print setting of 'Scale to fit'.
    - No option to print at 100%, you have to manually input this information.
    - No way to change this default in preferences, you can change the opening viewing size of a doc to 100% though.
    - Doesn't remember the previous settings if you decide to reopen the doc and print another copy.
    I also found that if I attempted to print an A4 doc with bleed and crop marks, it would set the default paper size to A4 and the annoying scale to fit would be set to 83%. If I then changed the scale by typing in 100% but don't hit enter for fear of the print starting and then simply use the drop down to change the paper to A3 and then change the orientation and then hit enter it ignores that you have changed the scale and prints your doc at 83% on A3 - Brilliant!
    It's a shame to say that I will be going back to acrobat for pdfs!
    If you can't put a 100% scale radio button on the print dialogue box either allow people to change the default in prefs or even better allow the presets to control paper size and scale of printing!

  • I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup

    I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup from last Friday, I go to my Lightroom Backups folder - and the most recent one showing not only isn't yesterday, it's OCTOBER 28 !?? Where the hell are the daily backups between October 28 and November 14?

    Oh wow - JET LAG strikes agin - my apologies; I have located the missing weeks of back-ups. After getting home from a 30-day trip to Europe, I had changed the location of my LR catalog back-ups to an external drive, and forgot that I did that. I have found them, and all is good. Never operate Heavy Machinery without enough rest. Cheers
