Touch Screen Automatically Reverts to Hand Tool?
I am using Photoshop on a PC with WIndows 7 and a touch screen monitor. I had no problems in CS5 using the touch screen as an input device with the brush tool, but whenever I try to do this in CS6 it automatically reverts to the hand tool. Is there a setting I can activate to make Photoshop operate with the touch screen beyond the hand tool? I appreciate the help!
No, and I even tried pressing the spacebar key to see if it was stuck.

I need hand tool to move around the page in small PC screen like in adobe pdf reader
''locking as a duplicate - continue here - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/814830''
In Adobe® Reader® is the tool for opening and using Adobe PDFs that are created in Adobe Acrobat®. I have very useful tool to move on the page on the screen it's called "Hand tool" .
The tool can allow you to move around the big page by the mouse.
the tool god for zoom in and walk around the page in small screen.
I look also on adds on and I did not find one .
thanks
DanielI think the [https://addons.mozilla.org/af/firefox/addon/grab-and-drag/ Grab and Drag] extension is much closer to what's being requested.

Probably a stupid question, but I recently picked up an acer W500, and while the beta works fine using the nub or a mouse, it defaults to the hand tool whenever I try using the touch screen. As in the tool I had selected changes to the hand when I touch the screen and back again when I release. Is there a setting I'm missing, or will it just not work with a touch screen?
Actually no question is stupid - forums are the best way to find the answers to problems that are driving you nuts. :-) I'm not familiar with Acer but try checking your touch settings for the tablet. I have the Intuos 5 touch and it is working just fine with the CS6 Beta. Does your touch tablet work with other applications? Do you have your brush tools set for your tablet?

Thinkpad Yoga - touch screen on left half of the screen unresponsive
Hi guys!
On my new TPY the touch screen on the left hand side (the side where the charger is connected) is unresponsive. The pen however works perfectly fine. I have already run the lenovo software update tool and updated/installed all the drivers so I wonder what might be the culprit here...?
Best,
Chrisif the left hand screen touch is unresponsive, then it is a hardware problem. You would need to send in for service.

Can I use a touch screen monitor with my macbook pro?
I am doing a lot of photo organization and thought it would be easier if I had a touch screen monitor attached to my macbook pro. Has anyone tried this and if so, what brand did you use.
Thanks
BobAll a touchscreen is going to do is replace your mouse or trackpad, you can't use two hands at once to gain any speed advantage organizing photo's.
Also it would have to be a pretty big touch screen, place your two hands over a 17" screen and most of the screen is blocked.
If you need something like that, talk to Microsoft, they have a "Big @ss table" that does that.
Gives me a backache just looking at those people

I was wondering if there is a way to use the hand tool (or spacebar) even if the entire image is visible, like you could do in previous versions. One might wonder why you would want to pan if you can already see the entire image. This comes up when one of your layers is bigger than the main image. If you try to Transform the layer, but the transform handles are off the edge of the screen, you need the hand tool. Otherwise you have to zoom out even further to get at the handles.
You can change from "Standard screen mode" to "Full screen mode with menu bar" or "Full screen mode" by using the icon on the tool bar. Or, as in all versions of PS, press F on your keyboard to toggle between the modes. You can then use the space bar to pan the image in both of the Full screen modes. A useful thing to remember!

Why does dragging on a Touch Screen change the cursor into a Hand Tool?
Why does dragging on a Touch Screen change the cursor into a Hand Tool? This did not happen in CS 5.5 and I could edit on my touch screen monitor. With Photoshop CS 6, as soon as I start to drag, the cursor changes to a hand cursor. I have look at all of the system options and nothing seems to affect it so I have to assume it is something wrong with Photoshop CS 6.
Try staying with it for a while. It is much nicer panning that way. Give it a flick, and touch the screen again when in the right position.
I think it came in with CS4 BTW, but it makes a lot of sense keeping it on the Touch version. -
Touch Screen Pen Tool Signature on Form (back to hand tool)
Built a simple form, name, address and a couple of other text input form fields, all is well.
Added a graphic area for a signature. There is a button to click with "execute menu item" "...Markup tools > Pencil Tool"
This turns the Hand into the crosshairs so the user can "write" their signature in the box with a stylus on the touch screen.
Still all good, but I then have, or want an "undo" button in case they mess up. Menu Item "Undo" is not available,
and I have yet to find the Javascript call for undo as in __app.execMenuItem("Save");__. But the real
problem is I cannot find an interactive/button driven way to get the Pen tool back to the hand tool. Also there is a Save As and Print button
at the bottom that works great, given it is clicked with the hand tool. The end users are not going to be very saavy so clicking the hand tool
in the menu isnt much of an option. Any ideas?No, and I even tried pressing the spacebar key to see if it was stuck.

Why my iPhone will touch the screen automatically, sometimes?
I've got an iPhone 5s, I found it sometimes will touch the screen automatically while I didn't do anything. The first time I find his problem is in Ninja Rooftops, I noticed that it jumped lots of times by itself. And then I find this problem not just in the game, it's everywhere...
Can I get my iPhone changed? It really bugs me!!!Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...

How can I draw using the Brush tool and a touch screen?
I need to be able to use the touch screen on my Lenovo Yoga (running Windows 8) to draw using the Brush tool in Photoshop CS6. I'm able to do that in other programs, including Microsoft OneNote and Paint. For some reason, Photoshop will only interpret touching and dragging on the screen as an attempt to pan or scroll, even when the Brush tool is selected. I bought Photoshop - and it isn't cheap - specifically in order to draw using the touch screen, which I need to be able to do for my job. Is there some driver I can download to fix this problem, or some obscure setting I can change?
I would also like to note that Adobe's technical support line exhibits a degree of infuriating unreachability equalled only by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. When I called to ask for help with this problem, I was told the expected wait time was between 10 and 14 minutes. After waiting for 50 minutes, I gave up in disgust. Adobe's products are powerful, but what passes for customer service is an utter disgrace.There's gotta be a way but I just use gimp for touch drawing, save it off as a png, edit in ps or ai.

Illustrator CC 2014 tools won't expand on non-touch screens
In Illustrator CC 2014.1.1 (18.1.1) the tools in the tool panel won't expand when the main Illustrator window is not on a touch screen. I am using the regular interface, not the touch interface.
I have three monitors, one of which is a touch screen. If I move the main Illustrator window onto the touch panel then the tools all work as normal. As soon as the Illustrator window is on another monitor, it is impossible to expand any of the tools that normally roll out to reveal extra tools. This has been driving me crazy for a month, and it was only today I discovered what was causing it.
Even if the tools aren't on the touch panel, they still work okay so long as the main window IS on the touch panel. Conversely if I move the tools to the touch panel but keep the main window on a non-touch panel, I can make them expand on the touch panel but ONLY with a finger touch and not with the mouse.
This is obviously a programming bug, but I have in case tried resetting my settings several times (and disabling settings sync). Illustrator CC (non-2014) still works fine, as do the pop-out tools in InDesign CC 2014. Prior to patching to 18.1.1 this worked fine in Illustrator CC 2014 too.
I am using Windows 8.1.I reset the preference file more than once, just to be sure - has no effect.
As Monika says, you can ALT+click tools to cycle through them, but this is only a temporary solution and it would be good if the software could be fixed. It's very frustrating not being able to easily change to most tools from the UI. For now I have put my most-used tools on a custom tool bar instead. -
CS5 - Standard Screen Mode - Hand Tool don't move the document
Hi all
In PS CS5 -> Standard Screen Mode -> Hand Tool don't move the document unless you zoom the document so it became bigger than the working area!
Is it possible to use the hand tool (move the document arround) while the document is smaller than the working area?
ThanksWhy not just shrink the window border and move the Window around to where you want it, as has been described above several times?
because that will make the working area much smaller. You'll be able to move the Window around, but if you zoom in, you will lose working area and you'll have to use the scrolls.
Maybe it would help to describe WHY you want to move the image within the window/tab?
There are many reasons for that and I don't have the time to describe all of them right now. I'll give you just one: if you paste an object that is bigger than the document size and you want to transform the object (scale down for example) - you press Ctrl+T and the top, bottom and middle right points are no visible (they are outside the area). Then you have 2 options if you want to scale down:
1) scale the image with the left side point, and then move the image back to the document
2) zoom in the document -> so it became bigger than the working area -> so you can move it with the Hand tool (spacebar) -> so you can see the right points -> so you can transform the object -> and then you zoom out again
both ways are just very slow
if you can move the document inside the working area (inside the window) then you can perform the task much quicker:
move it with the Hand tool (spacebar) -> grab some of the right point and transform as simple as that. And you still can see all of your document, and you can still reach the right points
this is just one example, I can tell you more -
Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?
It's either hand right or left.
I have the same issue myself. Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard. -
