Slice tool problem CS4

Every time I draw a rectangle using the slice tool, I try to align it with the artboard but it goes off 3 or 4 pixels. If we say that my zero point is the up corner of my artboard then the slice tools starts from a few pixels away (see image). Why is this happening? I can't export my images properly if I can't slice them right.

Type tool anchor and pen tool problems CS4

I have been working in In-design for my classes and everything is working fine. But recently I needed to do some work in Illustrator but when I opened the program up, some of my tools seems to be slightly bugged or something.
The type tool will not make the anchor where I initially click. It creates the anchor around the center point of the type box. This is really annoying because if you have a specific grid, it will not line up to it. I have never adjusted this I don't think because now I have no clue on how to fix it!
Also, my pen tool seems to be messed up. I first create the starting point, but then when I make the second point and try to drag out the node arms to make a curve, it only has one arm! Thus, the curve never is created, so I can't draw with the pen tool, therefore I fail my classes... haha
I have a big project starting soon and any help with this odd problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for any potential help
-- Jordan

To try to make things more clear:
When I click on the type tool, the line tool, or the rectangle tool (any tool used by clicking on a starting point 'anchor' and dragging it) if I click and drag to the bottom right, it creates a rectangle that around the center point of the bounding box. Its really freaking weird. I've asked all my design friends and they don't know either. BUT! If I click to make the initial anchor, then drag to the upper left it works as the type tool bounding box usually does. Meaning, I can make the box to conform to grid lines, or the like. The rectangle tool does this as well.
Now, the line tool is messed up as well, but a little different. When I select the anchor point and then start to drag (click then drag to the right) the anchor does not stay in place. IT GOES OFF TO THE LEFT. It is so annoying. So If I'm trying to make a line that goes from the top of the page down, the line will go down with my cursor as I drag down, but it will also go up at the same rate. Its real dumb. Any help would be great.
As for the pen tool:
I'm not a new user to Illustrator. I've been using it for years now and never seen this problem. I showed it to my professor and he had no clue. I have used CS3 and CS5 as well and both operate normally and much different from mine. I can't exactly explain it for it is that weird, but if there is any way I can reset the tool, or put it back to its defaults that would help a lot.
Thanks in advance,
Jordan

Pen Tool Problem With Adobe Illustrator CS4

Recently, after many years, I finally gave up using AI 9 and started to use AI CS4.
However I'm having a real problem and it's bugging me. When I start to use the pen tool on CS4, it gives me far too much information and interferes with my concentration. First, all these details in green pop up telling me that something is the path or anchor. Second, there is this horrible grey box next to my pen telling me such things as 'D: 62.54 pts'.
Could someone please tell me how to deactivate all these appendages and I can just have mmy basic pen back.
Thanks

Thank you very much Joe..... Problem solved.
It was driving me crazy.
Again, thank you.

Slice tool is arow in save for web and............

Hi, besides the fact that slice numbers are not showing up here in vista 32 CS4 (show slice number is activated in the preferences and show slices in view as well and I did a reset !) I encountered a other strange thing in "SAVE FOR WEB & DEVICES" when you select the slice tool it doesn't change in a slice tool but stays a arrow and works like a slice tool.
Hope someone comes with a solution for the slice numbers, they only show up in the "SAVE FOR WEB & DEVICES"dialog. But it's not very handy to work without them.

Have you patched Photoshop to version 11.0.1 and have you updated your video drivers?

Pen Tool - PS CS4

I don't know if I found a bug, or if it's just something I need to do differently, but the pen tool is not creating a new layer.
It just seems to be there. I can modify the shape with the direct selection tool. But I can't apply a layer style or do any other modifications. It does not have a bounding box when I select the move tool.
It's the weirdest thing... Anyone else experience this?

I am having trouble with the pen tool in Cs4,
It has been fine but then after a few hours I have been having
a problem with the selection line (that it leaves behind) is not there?? is there something in the View / paths that I am missing?
And at the same time,my viewing line that falls behind the magnetic tool is not working!
It is driving me crazy and I know it is something so simple
that I am not doing...
Thanks to anyone that can shed some info

Photoshop slice tool and Save for Web image quality. Will it affect prints?

I want to slice a large photo into multiple smaller (4x6) printable photos to arrange in a 12x12 inch scrapbook binder pocket (made of of 4x6 pockets). I need to order separate 4x6s online so tiling in the print options is not what I need.
The slow way I know to do this involves cropping and saving each section (maybe even recording this action to do batch processing). However, another way is to use the slice tool to quickly divide up the sections then "Save for Web...". I can adjust some parameters, but I'm afraid there are other automatic adjustments that I don't want. For example, all images are converted to 96 dpi instead of the original 300 dpi. The number of pixels remains the same so I don't think there will be problems printing the picture.
My question is: does the Save for Web function reduce image quality in any way when printing (it is obviously intended to be used to optimize images for websites)? Are there settings in "Save for Web" that would optimize for high quality prints? Is there a better way to tile an image?
I have not yet compared any prints.
W7
CS6

If you understand that something will do something you do not want like convert to 96 DPI as long as it does not resample you can always convert back to 300 DPI. If you want 6 4x6 to form a 12x12 you must start with an square 1:1 aspect ratio image. That you resample to 12"x 12" at 300 dpi if you want 6 4x6 300 dpi images.
If the original images vary in size and aspect ratio you need to crop them square or add two borders to make them square. The rest is easy to do with an action.
The square crop or border can be automated with a little scripting. If crop a center crop would be the route to go. My crafting actions package contains more the a dozen scripts to be used within action. One is a plug-in script that would make center cropping a snap two steps menu File>Automat>AspectsRatioSelection followed menu Image>Crop. Add a menu Image>Size set side to 12" and resolution 300 DPI and you have your starting 12"x12" 300 dpi image.
Flatten the image make your first 4"x6" selection copy past to add it as a layer. Select the background select the next 4x6 area copy and paste repeat that process till you have added the 6 4"X6" layers. Then delete the background, Select all, target all layers and use layer>Align layers to selection>Top edge then repeat align to left edge. the Image>Trim you have your 6 4x6 in a stack. You can the use Adobe Photoshop Script Export Layer to file. All automated in an action however the last step Export layers to files is interactive for its not a plug-in script. So if you batch it you keen to hang around to interact with the last step for each image.
You could also write you own export script that would not need human intervention to use instead of Adobe interactive script.

Which version of PS has slice tool

Hi,
My version of Photoshop 11 (CS4) did not come with the slice tool.
Can someone tell me which verions of PS comes with the slice tool, if I have to purchase a plug-in, etc.. I really need this tool to design web sites and was misled by Adobe that my version came with it. I even asked Adobe first. I guess you just can't get an honest answer these days.
Thanks a lot!!

I even asked Adobe first. I guess you just can't get an honest answer these days.
For almost any PS question (some installation and licensing issues are the exception), I think that one will get better and quicker answers in this forum, but that is just my opinion.
John's directions should work fine. If not, then try Resetting your Tools, but should not have to do that.
Happy editing,
Hunt
PS - welcome to the forum.

Slice tool not working (Windows)

Started a trial with Photoshop V11 and I'm having troubles with slicing. Firstly the slice tool isn't in my toolbox, and secondly when I press K which I think is the correct shortcut key - my cursor changes to a circle with a line through it (banned).
It is happening on any PSD file that I'm opening.
If I try saving for Web and using the slice tool which is on that toolbar, I can create a box around something but as soon as I finish dragging with the mouse the square disappears. It is as if I really am banned from slicing - and I don't know why.

Check your view settings to actually show the slices. This may simply be turned off (though the slices would still appear in the "Save for Web" dialog). The shortcut is incorrect for CS4. K has been assigned to 3D item transform. Slice is a subset of the crop tool now, so C is the default shortcut. Feel free to change it back or use a different shortcut set...

Is the slice tool really this buggy?? (pics)

I am trying to create images for a website using the slice tool.
When I try to create a slice from selection, it looks ok on the artboard (pixel preview mode), but it shifts the whole slice when exporting!
What am i doing wrong? I have things set to 'align to pixel grid' in the transform options in the main toolbar at the top. I have the document DPI set to 72. And still, slices get misaligned.
ALSO: the slice select tool, when resizing a slice, seems to snap to invisible things!? I have snapping disabled in the View menu. What is the deal? Is slicing in Illustrator really that broken? Or am I missing something??
I've tried searching around the net and nothing seems to explain this strange behaviour..

Hi Sinrise,
The problem with the save for web feature in both Illustrator and Photoshop is that png files can only be saved as full 24bit colour with true 8bit transparency - the user cannot save, for example, a 16 colour version with full 8bit transparency.
It means web "optimized" png versions that are output by Illustrator are often far bigger in file size than what is actually possible with other (free) web optimization utilities - at the same quality.
At this point Gif should be avoided (many reasons), and only be used for smaller animated web graphics. Gif does not support full transparency, only indexed, which means it is either on or off. No 50% transparency is possible in Gif. In the end Gif results in larger versions than Png anyway.
Jpg is perfect for photo work, but less than ideal for vector and sharp edged artwork, since it is a lossy format and will introduce fringes and rogue pixels and noise along edges. Even with a quality set to over 90% those noisy artifacts will be introduced in your artwork. And it generally results in much larger file sizes (the eagle head below is ~44kb, and still has noise and fringes everywhere at 85%)
Png is perfect as a bitmap format for illustrative sharp-edged artwork. It also supports full transparency both for true colour (24 bit) and 8bit (indexed) colour modes. And this is where the save for web feature fails abysmally: it does not allow us to save 8bit png files with full 8bit transparency - only indexed, like gif. So either on or off. Therefore tremendously limiting the use of the save for web functionality in both Illustrator and Photoshop.
Because with 8bit indexed png files we get fringes or ragged non-antialiased edges with transparent backgrounds.
Here is what I am talking about (open the original image to compare):
It means that I was able to produce a perfect fully transparent version that is SMALLER than Illustrator's 8bit version with indexed transparency in Color Quantizer!
Only Fireworks currently has the option to save png images with full transparency and indexed colours. And we know that FW is scrapped. Twisting the knife in the wound even more, Color Quantizer also allows the user to save limited colour palettes of 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 colours! And a simple to use quality mask tool is available for difficult cases to safeguard essential artwork areas from degrading in colours!
Now, you might argue that we are talking about a difference in kilobytes - but I would say that my version loads up almost three times faster, and takes up three times less bandwidth. With more images on the page, it means my page's total bandwidth would be improved by 300%-400% (my experience) compared to designers working with Adobe products only.
And I have far more control over the exported and optimized colour quality, thus on top of that my work looks better as well in many instances.
That is why I decided a long time ago to stop relying on Adobe products to do my web optimization. They are antiquated, and have not really been updated in a long, long time.
ps RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool) also does a better job at jpg optimization, and again the user has more control than the save for web option delivers.

Slice tool option

Hi all,
       I need to clarify the doubt that,in photoshop cs4,Whether Slice tool can be done for any part of the layout in various shapes and size like a polygon slice tool in Fireworks..Looking for your answer...........Reply asap......

Laptop mode tools problem with kernel 3.0

today I just updated the system and my laptop runs dramatically hotter after that. I read the archwiki, it does talk about the laptop mode tools problem with kernel 3.0 but when I opened the file /usr/sbin/laptop_mode, the lines which the wiki mentions are not there. Does anyone here have the same problem and can you offer the solution?

I had the problem but edited the line in /usr/sbin/laptop_mode and it worked. But thoes lines are not there anymore. I guess they changed it at the recent update of laptop-mode-tools.
Regarding your heat problem; is there any other thing you use to cut down power usage (from AUR maybe)? I use acpi_call from AUR had to edit lines there aswell, but it should be updated by now.

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 Have A Slice Tool

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 have a slice tool? I really need to use it, and I can't seem to be able to find it for the life of me, does it have one??
If so, could someone please explain where to find it?
If not, could someone please suggest some other option I have of converting my .psd file into a .html??
Thank you!
Breanne

Hi, I am using Windows with Vista. So Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 has no way of either A. Using a Slice Tool, or B. Converting my website template .psd into .html format so that it can uploaded into my WYSIWYG Web Editor?
Please let me know if there are any options on how I can do this - advice, suggestions, support. It would be most appreciated!
Thank you,
Breanne

There is no change in PSE11 : the 'slice' tool is only available in the full Photosop CS.

I suggest to print the large version of this image from the Help files, as it shows where every tool is, and the associated keyboard shortcuts:
