Selection problems in CS5

Hello folks,
I've been having some issues when using certain tools that require holding the right-mouse button down, for example the patch, lasso, dodge and burn tools. When using one of the selection tools it seems like the program thinks I'm letting go and starting a new selection, which is very frustrating. Similarly with the dodge and burn tools it seems to think I'm clicking multiple times instead of one dragging motion, as it shows several actions in the history tab when I do a single sweep.
I assumed at first that it was a problem with my mouse but I have had no problem with any other programs or on the desktop. Furthermore other actions such as dragging a layer in PS CS5 work perfectly fine.
Can anyone give any advise on this? It's really annoying and has been going on for a while now.
Many thanks,
Paddy

Being a Mac user I don’t quite understand why those Tools would require the right mouse-button … I can only offer generic advice:

  • Probleme selection objet illustrator CS5

    Bonjour
    Petit soucis de selection sur Illustrator CS5.
    Cela concerne l'objet en lui meme... je n'arrive pas à le selectionner ni à le bouger sur ma page à part en le maintenant sur les tranches.

    Que ce soit une image ou un bloc coloré, pareil impossible de la bouger avec la fleche noir en le cliquant dans son interieur.
    Merci de votre aide

    Bonjour,

  • Selection Problem with JTable

    Hello,
    i have a selection problem with JTable. I want to allow only single cell selection and additionally limit the selection to the first column.
    I preffered the style from MS Outlook Express where you can select the email accounts to edit.
    It is a table like this:
    Account name  |   Type  |   ...
    --------------|---------|---------------------
    Hotmail       |   POP3  |
    GMX           |   IMAP  |The selection should be only avaibable at 'Hotmail' or 'GMX' - not at 'POP3', 'IMAP' or as complete row selection.
    Please help me!
    Thanks.

  • Select Problem For 'Back Menus' - Zen V P

    Just got the Zen V Plus and tried to set the time/date. Followed the 'guide' and after the time/date screen pressed the 'back button'. Got the Set Alarm/Date/Time (etc) menu but when I selected an option (moved joystick down to desired option then pressed the joystick) the time/date display came up and I was NOT ABLE to set the date. Same thing occurred trying to set the date (tried it several times and it worked once .... then attempted again - several times (4) but it only worked once). Turns out I have the same problem with any option in ANY 'back' menu. Suggestion?
    Do I have a defecti've unit (can't be the 'operator' who is defecti've! haha)? Should I return it and try another?
    Actually not that interested in playing music .... it's more for playing .wma(DRM) book files.

    Latest ... updated my firmware (to ZENVPlus_PCFW_P4S_L2___0.exe) and it fixed the select problem for SET DATE/TIME etc however
    the SELECT procedure doesn't always work for 'back button' menus. Example: tried to set a bookmark... following procedure in 'guide', pressed 'back button' and held it, from 'NOW PLAYING' screen - works 2 out of 5 times. Most of the time, pressing and holding takes you back to the previous menu - not to the 'back' (or in this case the SET BOOKMARK) menu. Sounds like something for the next version of firmware ... the code doesn't always set an internal timer correctly (am a programmer of 30 years ... part of that time pgmmng firmware).

  • Printing problem in cs5 and imac 27

    I have been running my Epson Stylus Pro 4800 on a macbook pro and cs3, for a couple of years with no problems whatsoever. I have now upgraded to a new iMac 27"and have had nothing but problems with the 4800. I have made my own profils and used Epson paper profiles but the prints are not as colourful as they used and totally wrong as well. I am also getting totally oversized prints compared to what image seize in ps is set to be.....for example, I have been doing a 10x21 test picture on Premium Lustre paper (photoshop is managing the colours through CS5, but it is printing the image at least 1,5 the size that it should be. All my settings are correct, dpi is 300, I'm printing at 1440dpi resolution on the correct profiles for the paper. I am at a loss to understand why this is happening. Is anyone able to assist me?
    I can do the printing in preview  and that is looking quite ok. But trough photoshop it is bad colors and wrong size on the print.
    Regards Ulfja

    I saw you're having a printing problem with CS5 while using an Epson printer. I'm having a problem too. Read my situation and see if you think it's similiar to yours. I posted this about an hour ago but have not heard from anyone yet.
    I'm having problems getting good prints when using Photoshop CS5 with my Epson Photo R2880 printer, problems I never had with CS4. Here's the situation:
    If I take a PSD file and print it using CS4, everything works out perfectly. But if I take that same PSD file and print it out using CS5, the print is now offset top to bottom, as well as left to right, along with a 1/8" black strip being printed down the right edge of the paper. As far as I can tell, everything is set the same.
    I've compared all the print information found in the Print dialog summary box between CS4 and CS5 and everything appears to be the same. I've verified that I'm using the latest print driver with my printer, and I am. It's 8.27.  I've verified that I've checked off the box to center the print to the paper, each time I've made a print. And in trying to figure out what's going on, I've discovered that this problem occurs with any paper size when using CS5, but not with CS4.
    I'm stumped and frustrated and without any more ideas as to what I should do next, except to always print my projects using CS4. If anyone has an idea for me, please let me know!
    I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions for you. The colors I'm getting in my prints from CS5 seem to be alright, but not the positioning on paper. It keeps offsetting and running a black stripe down one side. Fortunately I have CS4 on my computer that I can use to print from, but it shouldn't be this way.
    Good luck!

  • Print selection problem

    when i select a page to be print from my pc the page select in

    Hello. I feel your pain and frustration with the print selection problem in safari, especially in Snow Leopard. I have spent hours trawling help pages and forums etc. BUT YEE HAA (sorry got a bit excited, but it really was hours) I found the answer. So here goes.
    Click on Safari
    Scroll down to services then slide to right
    Scroll down to services preferences and click
    Scroll down to the Text section
    If you Tick the Text box it will choose all options for you. Or if you don't want all options in the Text list, then untick Text box and tick options you do want.
    BUT for your print selection problem make sure you tick NEW TEXT EDIT WINDOW CONTAINING SELECTION.
    Then when you want to select something in a web page you want to print (including pictures etc) then highlight it, then Right click. And low and behold, in the list is NEW TEXT EDIT WINDOW CONTAINING SELECTION. Click that, Then press cmd+p and your printing.
    I really hope that helps with your problem

    You need to set a "Hide" after the write... I suggest you also set your own dialog PF-STATUS too so you can have just a PF2 "pick" button and a Cancel button ( this will look better to the user).

  • Weird BGP path selection problem

    Hi, all,
    I am seeing a weird BGP path selection problem on 4948 switch running cat4500-entservicesk9-mz.122-46.SG.bin code, this switch has two uplinks to the same ISP's different edge router, one circuit is primary the other one is strict backup, only default route is accepted from ISP. I am setting both local preference and weight to the default route advertised over backup link, however neither one is taking effect, BGP still thinks the backup link is better, what could be wrong?

    Hi,
    On cisco routers , weight is having highest preference to decide best path. By default for received route, weight is 0 but you are setting weight 90 to backup path and that is why it is getting preferred (higher is better). Please remove weight and let local preference be 90 (lesser than route on primary path)

  • GRAPHIC CARDS AND 10.6.4 PROBLEMS - MAKES CS5 CRASHING!

    Photoshop CS5 has crashed on me several times today and *my screen becoming extremely distorted and flickering very fast, locking up the Mac and not responding at all*, leaving me to reboot.
    I tried PS CS5 in 32-Bit mode, and it is still crashing.
    +That crash just started appearing with the delivery of MacOS 10.6.4+. (Acobe engineers found unknown crashes moving up the statistics and had engineers looking at them) It is related to OpenGL, and probably to a driver update delivered with 10.6.4.
    Adobe has found no problems with CS5 and this is a problem related to Apples 10.6.4
    This has been discussed with users and engineers at Adobe here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2957823#2957823
    We are working on a very important project with one of our main clients - and really needs this resolved asap! This is not just affecting gamers but creative professionals.
    Is there any news on this issue?
    Thank you very much,
    Kim

    A business that is using the latest OS, would also be taking risks, and would have been prudent and conservative, having multiple bootable backups to work with, and realize these things happen.
    Other than a brand new Mac that doesn't work with Leopard I can see having to have 10.6.3.
    As to how long since release to move production up from CS4 to CS5? well, people really detest the IT-minded for their "test, retest, and don't deploy until the testing is done" approach.
    I assume "graphic cards" and you have a Mac Pro 2009 w/ ATI 4870 or GTX 285, but your post was scant on that, and it is really helpful to have a more complete .sig with hardware profile to see.
    There is a patch from Nvidia for GTX 285. You should be able to roll-back to 10.6.3.

  • Template problem with cs5

    I've transferred all my sites to cs5 (from cs4).  I build all my sites with DW templates.  When I bring up my pages from any site in DW cs4, I can edit them no problem.  When I bring them up in cs5, all of a sudden I have the "no-edit" symbol (red circle crossed) when I try to type over any editable areas.  Is there a setting that I am missing that I forgot to readjust when I loaded the files in cs5?
    Thanks in advance
    Jules

    I think I'm talking to myself, here...
    But just in case anyone has run into this problem with cs5...
    I usually create editable regions with content alone (minus divs).  It seems that cs5 won't allow this somehow.  I do this so that my clients won't move the div and can highlight the text that they want to change without screwing up the placement of the divs or having to click on it several times in Contribute in order to highlight the text.
    Example: (This one works)
          <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="LeftContent" -->
       <div id="contentLeft">
            <table width="100%" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" background="images/transBack.png">

  • Photoshop CS5 Pen tool Selection problem?

    I've been using photoshop for a while, and have never encountered this problem. I've had CS5 for about a year now and this is the first time it has done this, so hopefully someone can help me!
    When I open photoshop, everything works. I make a new layer, go to use the pen tool,  make my shape and then complete it, and the line solidifies showing its a complete shape. I right click, and select the option: Make Selection.
    Instead of turning the inside of the shape into the selected part, it selects everything outside of it!
    I can't for the life of me figure out how this started happening, as it didn't do it a few days ago. I must have hit a button or something, but its still very annoying. Hopefully someone can help! Restarting both the program and the computer, does not help.

    There's a button for that up in the options area, when a Path Tool is active.    It's been a while...  Ah, here:
    I'm betting you have the one next to it pressed.
    Look at your path icons in the PATHS panel.  If they're white inside, you're creating an enclosed path.  If they're gray inside with a white surround, you're removing a path from the surroundings.
