Select Focus feature AWOL

Mac Mavericks. New Select Focus Area feature missing from the Select menu. I know where it should be, but it just aint there...

I have the same problem and I am using the latest version 14.2.1  x64
When I check for updates ..there are none.
I do note that my start menu shows
Adobe Photoshop CC,
Adobe Photoshop CC (64 bit)
Adobe Photoshop 2014
I can start whichever one I want and none has that selection tool.
I got on a chat with Adobe Help and found that after regular hours they can't help you because all they know is enough to be dangerous on installation questions and nothing at all about 'tech' support, so I have to pursue it during business hours. I can only imagine the wait times.

  • New features, e.g., blur path and select focus, are not showing up in my PS drop down menus

    Although I've downloaded the CC PS 2014 updates the new features, e.g., blur path and select focus, are not showing up in my PS drop down menus - anybody know why and what I need to do?

    Are you sure you understand the Cloud License concept?
    You are entitled to keep Photoshop CC and install Photoshop CC 2014, so CC 2014 is not connected with additional costs and the time it takes to install the new version of Photoshop should not be that much of a imposition, should it?

  • My open tabs are not being remembered when I close and re-open Firefox 4 even though I selected this feature in Options.

    My open tabs are not being remembered when I close and re-open Firefox 4 even though I selected this feature in Options. Can anyone tell me why?

  • Updated to CC 2014 and cannot find Select/focus area

    I just updated to CC 2014 and do not see the select focus option under the Select tab?

    I think I've seen that one other person has reported a problem like this here in the past few weeks.  I don't recall a resolution, but if no one else chimes in with specific advice, it may be that an uninstall and reinstall might be in order (on the general assumption that something went wrong with the install).
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Perhaps even before taking the "nuclear option" above, the "10,000 lb conventional bomb" option of resetting all your Photoshop preferences to defaults might be something to try:  To do so, press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

  • Tilt Shift - Issue in selecting focus area

    I am newbie to PS and trying to create tilt shift effects. I had done this few times but strangely I could not do it anylonger as I face issue in selecting focus and blur areas. I do the following - Go to Quick Mask(Press 'Q') --> Select Gradient (Press 'G') --> Then I draw a vertical line to define the focus area. Usually a relatively darker red color used to appear as a band. But suddenly I see a very vague red color. And when I exit Quick Mask (Press 'Q') again the marching ants selects the entire picture and not the focus and blur areas. I do not know what mistake (without knowing did I press any keys) I made but I see this happen couple of times and was lucky it got resolved automatically. But alas, I am now not sure how to reset it. Any help would be appreciable. I use CS5.1.

    You might check the gradient tool settings, i.e you might have blend mode other than Normal or low opacity.
    You also might just reset the gradient tool by right clicking on the Gradient icon in the tool options bar and clicking Reset Tool and see if that works.

  • Query on Focus feature of jdk1.4

    My awt code(jdk1.1.8) in the applet does not display the content on the panel unless the mouse is focussed/moved on it. This problem I observed only when I use JPI1.4. It works with JPI1.3
    I found from
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/compatibility.html
    from pt 19 that jdk1.4 has new Focus feature where one has to set
    component.setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false);
    I did try this . But that did not work. To which component mean this
    setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false) has to be put.
    Is it to the parent that is top level frame to which panels are attached.
    Correct me if I am wrong

    I would suggest upgrading OWB to 10.1 at the least or the current 10.2 version. These are certified with 10g databases. Even though your maps seem to work you are probably running in an unsupported environment.
    The upgrade of OWB should be relatively painless although I have not done that particular upgrade personally. Maybe others can comment on that process.
    Good luck.

  • Focus Features

    Apple has Focus feature previews but none of their movies does any one know when or if they will ever be availiable.

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    This question would be best addressed by contacting the iTunes music store. If you live in the US, go here. E-mail form is at the end of the linked page.

  • I upgraded to PsCC 2014, but Select Focus Area is not available. Why?

    I upgraded to 2014, but none of the new features seem available from my menus. In particular, I wanted to use the Focus Area feature, but it is not available from the Select Menu. Is this a common problem?

    Sorry. It didn't occur to me that Adobe would install a complete new version on my hard drive. I found it. It works so far. Sorry for the waste of time.

  • Messenger 3.0 - Windows Client: Window Selection/Focus

    So we've been testing the Novell Messenger 3.0 client on Windows (With GroupWise 2014 fully patched) for less than 24 hours. So far we like what we see. No crashes, new features are working nicely (including the integration with the GroupWise client). However there is one nagging little issue we have not quite resolved. Whenever we have another application's window open, like GroupWise, and to continue with the example if we are say typing an email message, the focus can switch from the active message in GroupWise to the Messenger Contact list window. Even if we close the Messenger Contact window, it will open back up in about 60 seconds or so, and the selected window changes to the Contact list in about the same amount of time. It does not seem to happen nearly as often if the other (non-Messenger) window is maximized, but most of our users are on large 24" screens and rarely maximize anything anymore. It's a little frustrating that we can't nail this down. Our Help Desk has seen the issue on Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows 7 Pro x64 and Windows 8 Pro x64.
    Anyone else testing the new client and seeing this behavior?

    UPDATE: FWIW, after more testing, a reboot of the affected workstations appears to have corrected the issue on most platforms. In all cases above, we did not reboot after installing and configuring Messenger and Novell GroupWise 2014 Clients. We're going to mark the issue as being resolved here and start moving it into production. ;-)

  • Unable to use the focus feature on a field

    hi,
    I have the need to manipulate the focus event of a field. This is my pdf body structure :
    form1 ----> form
    |_ a ----> page
    |_b ----> textfield
    |_c ----> textfield
    The idea is to test if the user pressed the key "ESC", "TAB" or "ENTER" when exiting from field "b". If so, and after testing the content of the field, i wanted to set the focus on that same field "b" to let the user proceed with the correction.
    I tried with the "xfa.event.commitKey" to see if the "ESC", "TAB" or "ENTER" keys where pressed while exiting the field. I then redirected the focus to different fields named "ESC", "TAB" and "ENTER" just to be sure that i was getting the correct keys.
    This feature works if i set the focus in a different field than the one i'm exiting.
    Then, i tried a different approach. On the exit event of the field, i placed the following code :
    app.setTimeOut("this.getField('form1[0].a[0].b[0]').setFocus()", 1000);
    This would do the same as the setFocus after a while.
    For what i could see, catching the events with the "xfa.event.commitKey" for the "ESC", "TAB" or "ENTER" key works alright. The problem is to set the focus to the current field ( the one where the exit event is being analyzed ). However, if i change the destination field to any other field on the form, all the scripts work.
    Following the structure that i have on top, it the exit event is being analyzed on field "b" and the "setFocus" or the "app.setTimeOut" scripts indicate field "b" as destination, it doesn't work.
    If i change the destination field to be "c", all the scripts work as expected. It seems like there is a problem with setting the focus on the field that i'm exiting from.
    Any ideas on this ???
    Thanks.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
    I'm urgently trying to find a workaround, but nothing seems to work.
    The focus on the current field works in acrobat reader versions above 8.0, but in 8.0 it just doesn''t work...
    To reiterate:
    On the exit event of a textbox I need to display a validation message if a certain condition is met. I then need to refocus on the same textbox after the "ok" button is clicked in the validation warning.
    My setFocus code is correct, but it just doesn't work in 8.0.
    Thoughts?

  • Why does clicking on a link not open in a new tab although i have selected this feature under options

    I have selected that links should open in new tabs, but they keep opening in my current tab.

    That feature isn't for '''''all''''' links, only for those links that would open in a new window; no affect on links that are programmed to open in the same window. That preference diverts a new window to a new tab. If you want all links to open in a new tab, middle-click or {Ctrl + Click} links.

    Please suggest if it's a configuration/software issue or i'm missing something here.

  • Regarding Selection Criteria features in BI7 Info package maintenance

    Hi,
    In BI7.0, I have to load data from the Business content ODS, 0FIGL_O02 to Customized ODS by restricting the data as per the document types.
    Do we have that feature in BI7, to restrict the data in info package maintenance's selection criteria.Please let me know, when we dont have that feature...where can i apply this restriction for loading one data target to another data target.
    Thanks,

    In BI 7.0 you will be using DTPs to load data from one DSO to the other.  There will be no Infopackages involved.
    You can filter based on Document types in two ways. 
    1.  Build the filter in the start routine of your transformation itself  to delete datapackage whenever document type is not equal to what you want.
    2.  DTPs have a filter button.  When you go in change mode you will be able to choose the infoobjects on which you want to filter.  You can enter the required Document types in the filter here.
