Transformation tool problem

I cannot get the transformation tool to work properly. I click on a corner, then hold down ctrl and drag to my desired shape. As soon as I release either the mouse click or ctrl the box reverts back to a rectangle. Any remedies?

Murf,
You may try whether this gives you what you want, Smart Guides being your friends:
1) With the Rectangle Tool ClickDrag from the upper left corner to the lower right corner of the photo (where Smart Guides say anchor);
2) Transform the rectangle as desired;
3) Select both and Object>Envelope Distort>Make with Top Object.

  • Elements 6: transform tool problems

    I've just downloaded a trial version of Elements 6 for Mac. I use an iMac with OSX 10.5.5
    I find the transform tool doesnt work as expected (neither did it in Elements4). It seems to be OK in performing a transform perspective operation except for the final step when pressing return results in nothing happening. The change is still visible but Elements won't actually make the change to the jpeg image. I wonder if anyone has suggestions? Do I have some vital but obscure setting in Elements disabled or not set?
    Chris, UK

    Thank you for responding Barbara. I'm trying to correct some converging verticals by using the transform perspective commands. It's a part of Photoshop that I was familiar with when using CS3 on my PC but using Elements (I've tried both 4 and 6) on a Mac seems to be different. I've tried the checkmark (in 4, but it isn't there in 6) which also fails to action the selected perspective transformation. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Regards. Chris

  • Transform tool- problems with printing

    Can anyone please advise?  Been using CS3 for a few years.  Recently used the free transform tool to import several images into a blank template, resize them and then print as one page.  The overall image is sized to fit the print request and looks great inscreen at 100%.  However when I send to lab for printing it is very poor quality.  I have really no idea why this is and I'm hoping someone here can point out my mistake.  I'm guessing it's something really obvious....I just can't figure what.  Very frustrating.  Ideas? Thanks in advance

    Photo Collage Toolkit
    The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    There are eight scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.

  • Photoshop crashes when using Free Transform Tool

    Hello All Forum Members,
    Recently Photoshop CS6 crashes when I attempt to use the Free Transform Tool through the shortcut (Ctrl+T).
    It also crashes very often when using any of the free transform/transform tools via the menu as well, though not as often as the previous listed situation.
    This experience only occurred recently - for all the time I have been using CS6, this has never happened.
    I have read another thread similar to this, though I don't think the cause of the problem is the same as this was only a recent experience.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Jinky145

    Hi Curt Y,
    Thank you for the quick reply!
    By immediately, do you mean when the loading or when the actual interface has finished loading?
    I have tried both, but neither seems to have worked.
    Is there a menu or someplace else I can reset preferences?
    Many thanks!!!

  • Photoshop crashes after using transform tool in animation window!

    My photoshop (CS5 on a mac) has been crashing anytime I use the free transform tool in the animation window. It works perfectly fine in regular photoshop, but the second I switch over to animation using the select tool then the free transform tool will crash photoshop and I'll lose what I was working on. I've tried a few things already, but my problem seems to be super specific and nobody else has had this happen to them.

    Hi Haylee,
    Sorry about Photoshop CS5 crashing when you're working in the animation timeline.
    Do you get a crash log that shows up?
    Could you provide the details in that crash log here in the Forum discussion?
    Have you tried creating a new user account, and tested working with this file and animation under that user to see if it crashes there?
    blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-most-issue s.html#Permissions
    Is PS CS5 up to date? The latest version of CS5 is 12.0.4
    Which Mac OS Version are you working on? Is it up to date?
    What happens if you create a NEW file, and create an animation timeline on that one, do you still get the same crashing behavior? Is it just with this one file?
    Regards,
    Pete

  • Gradient Transform Tool not working in Flash Pro CS6

    I've tried all sizes (reducing and enlarging.)  I'm working in shapes (I'm following a tutorial exactly so I know it's not what I'm doing wrong)
    I'm running Mountain Lion on a 2008 iMac, but according to all I read it should be fine.  Is Flash CS6 not supported in the new Mac OS?
    I seem to be seeing a lot of complaints on various forums. I don't see the circle shape when i click on the tool.  There's nothing. Any suggestions?
    Wayne

    I'm having similar problems with the Gradient tool. I'm on a iMac 2009, OSX 10.8.3.
    The gradient transform tool isn't working properly. The options for the tool aren't showing up in the tool bar.
    I want to transform a gradient in multiple elements at the same time. A bunch of letters in a word.
    The gradient transform handles only show up when I select a single element. And not when I select multiple items with the same gradient fill. I'm also using Flash CS6 via Creative Cloud.

  • Why the Text disappears when I rotate it using Free Transform Tool?

    Hi,
    My Text is visible before rotating it to verticle position using Free Transform Tool. But when once it is rotated to verticle position the text disappears from the Stage. And it is not an animated Text as well? What is the problem?
    Thanks.

    If the textfield is manually placed on the stage, you should be able to select the textfield and click the button for Embedding that is in the Properties panel.

  • Free Transform Tool

    I'm using the free transform tool on a rectangle to make it smaller. My problem is both sides close in and I only want one side to close in. Is there something I can un-check somewhere to do this? It isn't a big issue if I cant do it but I'm curious just in case I need it later.

    yes, it seems that Flash CC transform tool behavior is different from all previous versions.
    The new behavior uses the Transformation point, which makes some sense in most cases.
    It's of course very tedious to move manually this point to one side or another (moreover it seems that there is no natural snapping).
    At first sight it seems that Adobe broke a valid and useful feature,... but finally I found this:
    Solution:
    If you want one side of the bounding rectangle to remain fixed, use ALT key.
    With pure drawing shapes, using CTRL key offers even more control (+ skew)

  • Free Transform tool rotates incorrectly?

    Setup (Macintosh/Illustrator CS3): document one has several anchors of text, some left justified, some right, all one line. Below is a simple set of stroked lines (one path about 7 points) showing an outline of an angled box flap, stroked. Selected copy from the Edit menu.
    Document two: pasted these items and selected the Free Transform Tool (E). Bounding box shows with its eight hollow square corners. With the cursor outside of the bounding box, it shows rotate cursor (arrows on each end of curve). Freely rotating this pasted group, the outlined box flap moves as expected, but anchored text rotates twice as fast, sometimes rotating the opposite direction!!?? It won't undo properly either; I have to delete and start from square 1 and pasting. Also, if I convert the text to outline, it does rotate properly; this gives me the impression it only has to do with anchored text.
    Any ideas? Anyone else have this issue? Is there a way I can screen/video capture this if I need to show it?
    --Brian

    Might look better in some kind of movie format, but here's some images of the problem (thank for the link info Mario):
    http://flickcabin.com/public/viewset/716
    Picture 1: Three elements I'm working with= left & right justified text and a 'cup' to help alignment after rotating.
    Picture 2: Same elements with the transform tool selected (bounding box being shown).
    Picture 3, 4, 5: Gradual rotation.
    As for using the rotate tool, that will work, but for as often as I do this, the rotate tool uses a few more steps and slows me down considerably. I know there's other workarounds like using an action for the times the degree of rotation is known, but that doesn't take the glitch away. If the option is there, it should work, and I do prefer this for its speed especially when working with non-complex things as the pictures show.
    Thanks again for any & all help!

  • Transform tool in Elements 4 not working

    I'm trying to use the transform tool in Elements 4. All seems to be well until I hit the return key to activate the changes and then nothing happens. The image remains on screen with the transform perspective change visible but it doesn't actually make the change. I use an iMac with OSX.10.5.5
    Can anyone offer advice?

    No, what I did is still there visible on screen but not applied to the image. I'm finding it quite hard to explain using the correct terminology but if you visualise pulling the top triangles in so that two triangular sections appear on the edges (giving me, if the change would be applied, sides that are parallel to the sloping verticals in the image - which is the distortion I'm trying to correct), then committing this change, the marching ants disappear, the two triangular sections on the edges remain visible but no correction is applied to the image.
    Does this help to describe my problem? Even more relevant, perhaps, is that I tried loading PSE3 into a PC and exactly the same problem emerged with transform perspective commands.
    I'm sure you are right about my workflow. There is some fundamental issue that I haven't addressed properly. I don't need Photoshop much for the sort of work I do. Almost everything is well handled by Lightroom. So I haven't actually used this part of Photoshop since giving up CS2 in my old PC.
    Thank you again for your patience in trying to resolve this.

  • Select/transform tool changes to pan tool when working with text

    I have had this problem since Motion 2, and version 3 is no different. Whenever I work with text in Motion, at some point while moving the text in the canvas, the select/transform tool will suddenly change into the Pan tool, and it won't let me do anything else but pan things. I have to close and reopen Motion to correct this. It happens VERY OFTEN, every time I work with text...it get's really annoying haveing to conatantly quit and reopen the program. I lose a lot of time doing that. Has anyone else had this problem? I also have a Powermac G5 that has the same problem so I know it's not the Mac Pro. Any suggestions?

    Sounds familiar.
    I searched and saw a couple posts from Patrick that suggested,
    "This seems to happen after adjusting text. Simply click on the canvas and press space. The project won't play and the hand will turn into your selected tool."

  • CS3 Illustrator and Free Transform Tool

    I have a problem with the function Free Transform Tool in Illustrator to OS X. After clicking on the icon Free Transform Tool object can become distorted. I got command key, I'm with the cursor in the corner, but does not work. Tried the instructions here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/13.0/help.html?content=WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07 d0100196cbc5f-646d.html, but it also does not work. By someone he did not know where could be the problem? Thanks a lot.

    Use Effect>3D>Rotate to rotate the PNG into a perspective plane. It is not as accurate as the distortion mesh method, but it might work for you.
    Alternatively, you can use the distortion mesh method and edit the mesh with the mesh tool directly. It is tedious because you'll have o move the anchor points and direction points separately (The free transform tool does this for you in one step).
    A third option is to download the 30-day free trial of AICS4. You can make the distortion then open the file in CS3.
    I don't have CS4 either and I am forced to keep 2 versions of Illustrator on my machine because of this bug.
    Adobe should not force users to upgrade, just to get a bug fix.

  • CS4 trial - transform tool frags my graphics!!

    Anybody else have problems with the transform tool? on my iMac it's instant-death to my work and messes up my icons in the dock too - it really is like throwing a frag-grenade into my computer's graphics! I have to restart my mac to restore everything back to normal.
    Test this at your own risk - and I highly recommend saving anything important before you do! My first encounter with this problem was to use the lasso tool to select an area I wanted to rotate just a fraction and when I hit cmd-T everything just froze and went horrible graphically. Also I noticed that I was unable to see the selection line of the lasso tool as I was using it

    3GB ram
    NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB

    Ok I now feel quite 'over-reactive' O_o; - just took a deep breath and tried it again (have been staying well away from the transform tool since it happened) and ...nothing - it worked like a dream - perfect! - ok so went into the gpu settings under performance prefs and I only had '3D interaction acceleration' ticked - I ticked the 'advanced drawing' box and tried again - bam! photoshop freezes and everything goes iffy. I think we found the issue! Since it happened last I have been tweaking the performance prefs to reduce brush lag so must have un-ticked it then.
    for your info I have 140GB free disk space and do not have a separate scratch. I have 2GB Ram allocated to photoshop.

  • Free Transform tool not working.

    I am using Elements 13 on an iMac OSX 10.10.3.The Free transform tool is not working properly when I try to scale an image. for example, if I type in '140 %' and tick 'constrain proportions', I find that one box shows '140' and the other box shows '14%', or sometimes, '120'. It is very frustrating. does anyone have any ideas about this problem?
    Thanks for any help.

    Since Free Transform is a command rather than a tool, there isn't a specific reset for it. Try deleting the prefs: Go to the editor preferences>general, click this button, and restart the editor:

  • Laptop mode tools problem with kernel 3.0

    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.
