Stuck Hand/Zoom tool in LR 2.6

Whenever I switch between the adjustment and spot removal tools, LR "sticks" and I can only use the Hand/Zoom tool. It doesn't happen all the time. But it's most of the time. The only solution is to quit LR and relaunch.
Why? Am I doing something wrong?
Here's my details:

You're doing nothing wrong Eric. This is an intermittent bug that happens. It's hard to reproduce exactly so hard to fix. I've seen it on and off when doing extensive spotting on a lost of pictures using the spacebar to temporarily active the hand tool. I had found a way to get out of it without restarting, but it's been so long I don't remember, sorry.

Stuck in Zoom tool

Hi
does anybody ever find themselves getting locked in the Zoom tool? there's a few times when i'll do a bit of art, then zoom in or out, and after then i can't change from the Zoom tool. usually have to frick around pressing all kinds of keys and changing windows before it'll release. i thought it might have been XP's "sticky keys" feature but i've checked and all the options are disabled.
TIA

Ah... it's the witty repartee that keeps me reading...:-D

Hand cursor (not arrow cursor) in zoom tool

When I use the zoom tool (and most other tools) in Photoshop CS5, I only have a hand-shaped cursor, not an arrow cursor, and I can't do anything with it. How do I get the arrow cursor back?

You should have a magnifying glass as the cursor if you're using the zoom tool, not the arrow. I'm wondering if you don't have an issue with your spacebar on your keyboard, as that activates the hand tool. Can you try a different keyboard?

How can I fix a dynamic zoom tool issue for users of Reader v8?

I am publishing a PDF to be posted on the internet for downloading by end-users. The PDF is designed to open in full screen view, that is, without tool or menu bars visible. This means it would be helpful for me to embed additional functionality onto each page of the PDF for users who do not know keyboard shortcuts.
In doing so, I have found that when adding the dynamic zoom tool function via Acrobat's Advance Editing > Forms > Button Tool, the dynamic zoom tool only works in some versions of Acrobat Reader and not others.
I suspect this is because the dynamic zoom tool is accessed from different locations in different versions of Reader. Therefore, the instruction that I embed in to the button tool that relies on a menu-tree command ('find the tool in this location via the menu') cannot therefore be executed.
Fortunately, it appears that there is a javascript name available for the dynamic zoom tool that I can use instead of a menu-tree command. But unfortunately, it appears that the script name is different for different versions of Adobe Reader...
Not to be outdone, we have managed to write a small piece of javascript that, when assigned to the PDF using the button tool, identifies which version of Reader the recipient is using and activates the correct script name.
So far so good.
However, it now appears that version 8 of Adobe Reader has a higher level of security built in, so that javascript is security restricted and isn't allowed to run.
This of course means that the button I've included in the PDF to bring up the dynamic zoom tool doesn't work at all for end-users using Adobe Reader v8.
Getting the users to adjust their security permissions in the preferences is problematic and less than ideal. I really want the PDF to work 'out of the box' so to speak, without the users having to perform somersaults to get every element of the PDF to function fully as designed.
And seeing as the end-users are part of a public organisation and will not necessarily have the authority to update their software from v8 to v9 themselves, I am a little stuck.
So what's my query? I've got more than one:
• Is there a more detailed script I can assign using the button tool to get the dynamic zoom tool to work as outlined above in v8?
• Can I raise the security level of the dynamic zoom tool from within the PDF (that is, so that the dynamic zoom tool activates automatically and without end-user intervention, e.g. without downloading bits of code to place in file directories)?
• If I were to assign a digital ID/certificate to the PDF, would this allow the javascript to run unhindered?

If you are going to SET an IP, a Static IP, on the computer it has to be out of the DHCP pool range but in the overall IP range the router is using to hand out. So if the router DHCP range is 192.168.1.100 to .150 you have to assign a static IP to the computer either above the 150 or below the 100.
Right I've never had a problem with ha PC. But then I have never had a problem with my Mac either.
I suspect you have some type of hardware problem or a hardware and driver problem.

How do I set the keyboard shortcut for zoom tool to be r-clicking the mouse?

I want to have the r-click of my mouse be the zoom tool like in Quark Xpress. Can I make the Z shortcut to choosing the Zoom tool instead a r-click? I know how to get into keyboard shortcuts - just dont know what to type in for the new shortcut to make it a r-click. right now its 2 steps to zoom rather than in quark 1. not that I want to go back. lol.
also, while were talking about migration differences and extra steps, is there a way I can hide guides and set overprint preview in one step? (this is something I do often and was just a simple F7 in quark)
so these are just 2 things that take 2 steps in ID but one in quark. not that I want to go back. lol

OK, I've been doing this since CS2 with no need for a script. To hide guides and show preview...
1) Go to 'Keyboard Shortcuts'
2) Go to 'Product Area - Tools'. Yes, you'd think it would be in Views! But the buttons for this is at the bottom of the Tool Bar.
3) Go to 'Commands: Toggle view setting between default and preview'
4) Click your cursor inside 'New Shortcut' and hit the key you want or type it in. I choose the unused F2 key
5) Click the 'Assign' button and you are set. Hit the key to switch back and forth.
As for your mouse Zoom, use Power Zoom as described above or just hold down the Alt/Option button in 'Hand' mode and use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Not one step but it works!
Now you won't miss Quark at all!

How can I get the dynamic zoom tool to work in my PDF all the time?

I have designed an interactive PDF to open in full-screen view only. Of course, when it does so, none of Reader's tool bars are available to the end-user. But as the PDF is meant to be used on screen, I want the recipient to access the dynamic zoom tool. So I have introduced access to it from within the PDF itself.
This I have done using the Button tool to create a button that appears on each page of the PDF that, when clicked, turns the cursor into the dynamic tool. Another button I created alongside it brings back the cursor.
However, having done this, some recipients receiving the PDF have been able to access the dynamic zoom tool from within my lovingly crafted PDF but others have not (the dynamic zoom tool worked on a PC machine running XP/Home & Reader 7, but not on PCs running XP/Home & Reader 8 or 9).
And of course, the tool works fine when the user exits out of full-screen view & accesses the tool via the menu, or the toolbar.
But we don't want the menu or tool bars to be visible!!
So my question is, does anyone know why this specific function on the PDF I created is working for some and not for others? Do you know if there is something specific I need to apply within the Button tool's settings or the PDF's settings that once actioned will completely avoid this problem from reoccurring? Or is there a bug in the software that you are aware of that prevents me from creating a PDF that includes access to the dynamic zoom tool from within itself (not via the toolbar) and which works fine in different versions of Reader & across PC/Mac platforms & operating systems?
(I created the PDF using Acrobat Pro 9 on a Mac running Leopard, 10.5.9. And if anyone wants to know, you can create the interactive button as I did from the menu bar: go to Tools > Advanced editing > Button tool. Clicking Button tool brings up a cross-hair cursor. Click & drag to marquee the area you want to make interactive (in my case, over the icon I designed & introduced to each page of the PDF to represent the dynamic zoom tool).
This brings up a dialogue box where you can select the appearance of the button (eg visible or invisible), which trigger is needed to activate it (clicking, hovering, etc), & what action is generated once you've done so (like going to another page in the document, run a javascript, play a sound, or execute any of the menu items).
So all I did is told it which menu item to activate, by selecting 'execute menu item' in the drop-down menu, going to the menu to select it & clicking okay. Simples!)

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save Link as".
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
THAT's the Flash Player.
Shockwave Player 12
THAT's the Shockwave plugin.
BOTH should be up to date.

Lock screen and other app stuck on zoomed mode

I noticed that my lock screen is stuck on zoomed mode. When I'm in my home screen it's in standard view. Also I'm having the same issue with my apps. Apps like Pinterest, Tumblr, Swarm, Twitter looks fine but other apps like Facebook and Instagram are all stuck on zoomed mode. How do i fix this?

Hello iankyliu,
It may be that the zoom accessibility feature has been enabled. The article linked below details how to go about turning it off.
iOS: Home screen icons are magnified or large
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3129
Otherwise, it may be Display Zoom that's enabled, which is explained in the iPhone User Guide.

I can no longer use keyboard shortcuts to access Zoom tool.

Hello,
Yesterday I wiped my HD and reinstalled my system.
I thought I put everything back the way I had it, but apparently I forgot something and can't figure out what's wrong.
When in Illustrator CS2, I try to hold down Space+Command, I don't get the zoom tool like I usually do. When I hold down Option to click and drag an item, it does not duplicate the item. Regular commands, Like Command+O and Command+N work fine.
I thought it might be the International Keyboard issue, where having 'US Extended' selected causes problems, but that is not the issue as it is turned off.
I'm using Tiger 10.4.11 on MacPro.
Anyone encounter this and have any suggestions?
Thanks.
-Vincent

It can also be a language thing.
Switch language to US (if it's not your usual language), make your first keyboard command (f.ex. Cmd-Y) and then switch back to your normal language. Keyboard commands will keep working until next time you restart Illy.

Hi there
Can any one out there tell me how to insert a zoom tool into my slide show in dreamweaver CS5.5
My slide show consists of lots of thumb nails of paintings under a large painting.

Problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool

Hello. I got a problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool. Sometimes it takes more than a secong to zoom in or out. However InDesign CS6, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC works just fine. What could be the problem, videocard or something else? Below is my PC configuration: OS Windows 8 Pro (x64); processor Intel Core i7 2600k CPU 3,40GHz; video adapter NVIDIA GeForse GTS 450; monitor NEC PA271W (2560x1440).

Yes it’s a bug. The trick is to select the tool and then left click the photo information strip and hold for a few seconds until you see the windows bar at the top of the screen (not responding)
The lasso tool should then work normally.

How to disable some zooming tools in a chart?

Hi,
I am using a chart in LV6.1 and the user of VI, must not be able to change the Yscale limits, neither by editing scales nor by zooming tools.
I used a property node and made the Yscale not editable. but How can I disable some of zooming tools such as window zoom or Y zoom? how can I limit access to "active tools" of a chart? is it possible?
Thanks for any kind of help.

With the graph palette not visible, you can still allow access to X-zoom by using property nodes and the Palette:Active Tool property.
Demo in LV6.1 attached.

How to access the magnifier/marquee zoom tool in Reader XI?

The subject says it all, really.
Richard

The keyboard shortcut is the same as in most applications (Windows):
Ctrl + [zoom in]
Ctrl - [zoom out]
use the + / - on the numeric keypad.
If you don't have the Zoom tool on your Toolbar, you can add it using View | Show/Hide | Toolbar Items | Select & Zoom.

Stuck in zoom

screen stuck in zoom even after reboot. How can I type in the password to restart when I can't get it to ask for password?

Reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen displays, if it is still in Zoom mode, then try the three finger double tap. Make sure all three fingers are touching the touch screen and tap twice quickly.

Why can't the Pan & Zoom Tool start with the whole frame using photos

I've used the pan and zoom animation in Microsoft Movie Maker - and want that same ease of use in any other program (I find it doesn't do a great job of soundtrack and text/image placement) see menu options below.... I Purchased Premiere Elements after watching a short video of the pan & zoom tool - however now that I am trying to use it it falls way short.
Is there a way to allow me to select the whole photo as the starting frame -- in the screenshot below the frame 1 will not extend to the whole photo so I start off with a cropped image. I want the full Frame of the photo and then be able to zoom and pan in toward faces - while I can still do this with the cropped frame I loose a good deal of my photo and the context it provides.
The Microsoft Movie Maker options - very easy | Limitation of Premiere Elements 13 to start with the full photo frame

Hi,
You might like to ask that question in the Premiere Elements forum
Premiere Elements
It looks to me as though the aspect ration of the photo and the video frame are different and therefore something has to be cropped off.
But I could be wrong
