Trouble selecting PS as editor in LR 5

PS 6 is installed on my Windows 8 system but it doesn't appear as an editing application for LR5. In LR, I choose Edit / Preferences / External Editing. That screen says Application Not Specified, but when I click Choose, the list of programs does not include PS. ????

Under the "Additional Enternal Editor" / Application you are probably pointing to "Adobe Photoshop Elements" instead of "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor" See here for more info

Single click to show selected file in editor when in "edit view"?

Anyone know if there is an option to set single click to show selected file in editor when in "edit view"? Instead of having to double click?

I would also like to be able to "right-click > edit source file" in multi-track view WHEN A CLIP IS GROUPED.
Currently, when a clip is grouped with another clip, if you select a portion of that clip to edit, then right-click it, IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO "EDIT SOURCE FILE" until you have ungrouped then re-selected it, which is cumbersome.
Not only do you have to do that, but upon returning to MT VIEW you have to remember to re-group that clip with the other clips, not being able to right-click and edit the source file of grouped clips adds unnecassary trouble and confusion to the interface, and for what?

Trouble selecting

I'm having trouble selecting an image on Photoshop 7. I'm trying to crop an image but when I use the marquee tool, it keeps jumping to different spots when I drag the corner. I recently had troubles with my computer mouse in that it was double-clicking faster than humanly possible and wouldn't allow me to highlight anything. I believe I have fixed the mouse problems because everything that I was having difficulty with before has been fixed - just not in Photoshop. I was wondering if it could be a problem with the program.
I hadn't encountered this problem before anything was wrong with my mouse.
As for the settings I'm using, feather is set to 0px and the style is normal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think J Maloney meant reset the Marquee tool.
Have you tried cropping with the Crop tool instead?
Edit: Oh! Did the type tool fix it?

Why can't I select another external editor?

iPhoto 11.
How do I select another external editor in iPhoto 9.2.1? I have Aperture, Pixelmator and PSE installed but only PSE comes up in the selection box under "Advanced".

I'm a little reluctant to dedicate my use to it because Apple appears to be dropping support for their pro-apps, Mac Pro's and so on.
I wouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet.
, I don't like the duplicates, faces, keywords being divorced from the photo and more annoyances than I care to enumerate.
I'm not sure what duplicates your referring to. If you mean when sending to an External editor, well stacking will hide that in Aperture. Faces can be turned off in Aperture (not in iPhoto) and keywords have always been stored in the database not the photos in every iteration of iPhoto. They can only be written to the file on export. Nothing different there.

Trouble selecting and moving objects near text in Adobe Illustrator? Try this.

It's been 4 years since I left Corel DRAW for Adobe Illustrator. One thing I could never get used to is the crazy way text has an impenetrable invisible sheet over it making it hard to select objects near or behind it.
With Corel DRAW I was used to be able to select text by simply clicking on the visible area of the text. Selecting stuff behind the text by clicking between letters or right next to a decender was never a problem. But Illustrator is a different story.
Tonight I finally found a way to make selecting text in Illustrator behave more like Corel DRAW.
I wrote it up here: http://www.johnstanowski.com/blog/trouble-selecting-and-moving-objects-near-text-in-adobe- illustrator-try-this/
Just thought I'd share!

It's not spam, but thanks for assuming.
I was up really late writing that blog post. Posting a link was the quickest way to share and be able to go to bed.
Plus it's rather lengthy. I thought that would be rude to use an Adobe forum for my articles.
If you saw my blog you will have seen there's not much going on there at all, and no calls to action to hire me. I don't have anything to gain by getting traffic.
And, yeah, layers work for selecting, but that slows you down. Who would want to look away from their work to find and select a layer when they're trying to tweak positions of objects? Layers suck for selecting quickly.
And there must be something wrong with me but I find using Type Object Selection by Path Only by itself hard to use. I'd really just like to click on the text itself rather than an invisible hairline you have to probe to find.
Here's the post. I hope people who had trouble like me find it helpful.
Do you have trouble selecting objects near Point Type in Adobe Illustrator? You’ve been there. You want to select an object. Problem is, it’s really close to piece of Point Type. All too often we try to select objects that wind up being unreachable because they lie too close to a piece of Point Type, which we wind up selecting instead. Luckily, after years of angst, I discovered a solution.
Point Type in Adobe Illustrator is funny. There’s this invisible “shield” around it. This shield is much larger (at least it seems that way) than the text itself. It prevents you from selecting objects behind text by clicking between letter and words. This shield is particularly meddlesome with lowercase letters and decenders because we think surely we can click on that blue box (or whatever) because it seems far enough away from that Point Type. But the lowercase “g” in the Point Type’s territory.
Okay, now that we know we’re talking about the same thing, let’s move on to the solutions.
Step 1. Check ‘Type Object Selection by Path Only’ in Preferences
You’ll find this option in Preferences/Type. Click it and that nasty text shield goes away. But there’s a price to pay. With this option activated, the only way you can select your text is by clicking on the text path, a super, tiny, thin baseline thingy under all the letters, but above decenders. It’s really hard to grab. To do it right you need to slowly approach the text path with your cursor. When you’re right over it, Illustrator will let you know by adding a small black square to your cursor. Now, you can click, hold and move your text. But this workflow can really slow you down and break your rhythm, maybe even more so with it turned off.
Step 2. Add the ‘Outline Object’ Effect
Select your Point Type and, from under the Effects Menu/Path/, select Outline Object. This effect does something really sweet to text in Illustrator: it lets your Point Type objects be treated as if their were converted to Outlines. You can still edit the text, but as far as selecting it, Illustrator now considers it outlines and shapes instead of a text object. Basically, it now considers the Path of the text to be the text itself! Now, since we’ve already checked ‘Type Object Selection by Path Only’ we can now click on the text to select it. Just the text. Not the baseline, not the wacky invisible shield surrounding it.
And now… you can select things behind the text by clicking between words and letters. And the ONLY way to select Point Type is to click on the visible parts of the text itself! Problem solved.
Potential Problem:
Too much of a good thing could be a bad thing. Let’s say you have some Point Type set in a very light face and it’s pretty small or you’re zoomed way out. Selecting that text could be a problem since you have to actually click on the text itself. Actually it isn’t that hard, it may just require an extra click to grab it. If you have a set of smaller, light-faced bits of text, you can elect to just not apply the Outline Object effect to these. They’ll get their ‘shield’ back and be easier to click on. And since they’re so small, they don’t pose a problem with selecting things behind them anyway.
Applying this technique to your old files
Now that you’ve learned this awesome new way to work around type in Illustrator, you may be anxious to open yesterday’s project and get back to work. But you may be not be looking forward to applying the Outline Object effect to each and every piece of type. For this you can use Illustrator’s “Select Same” feature. Select one piece of text. Then from the Select Menu click on Object/Text Objects. Now ALL of your text objects will be selected, and you can apply the Outline Object effect to all of them at once!
That’s it. If you build ads or work with a lot of type in Illustrator, you’re about to be able to work a lot faster… and happier.

Trouble with Adobe Photoshop Editor

After installing both the Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, I am having trouble with the Photoshop Editor. The first time the program opened, no problem, after closing it, and returning later, that portion would not open. I have to shut down my computer, turn it back on to get the editor to open. If I leave and come back, same thing. The Organizer workis fine.

I'd ask which OS is the PC running. Sounds like the question I post where a subtask of Photoshop isn't closing properly under windows 8.
So when you re-launch is say ' dude your running, but your not. left in limbo. You need to manually close photoshop. Rebooting is the simpliest way my users like.
I've also created an icon on their desktop that issues a 'taskkill /f /FI "IMAGENAME EQ Photoshop*"

Trouble selecting and adding clips

Ok so I'm working in iMovie09 and I'm having trouble selecting a clip to edit in my project window. When I click on the clip, the yellow border does not illuminate like it's supposed to. When I control-click the clip, it says I have no clip selected. Also, it won't let me add any more titles, songs, movies, pictures, or anything to my movie. Every time I drag and drop something into the window, it doesn't do anything. I swear I'm not computer-******** and I know how to click on things just fine...and I'm getting frustrated when I'm clicking on things and they're not selecting! I've updated to the latest version of iMovie and I updated my trackpad software and already troubleshooted the mouse, so there should be no problem there. Is anyone else having this problem or have any ideas on how to fix it??? I'm desperate! Thank you so much!

Trouble selecting text

I've never had trouble selecting text by moving the cursor to the beginning of the text and holding down the "mouse" and scrolling down to the end of the area to be copied, pressing the command button + c and voila! But tonight, the spooks have come and won't let me go directly to anything that is about 6 double spaced lines from the bottom of the page and then wants to put some light sepia colored box. I'm working on my dissertation and I don't need this trouble. PLEASE, PLEASE help me figure out if I've accidentally set something wrong. I need answers ASAP.

While it's readable, export your document as Word and as RTF so you will have ways to revive it if needed.
Try to export it as Pages '08
then open the new Pages '08 document in Pages '09 in hope that the transcoding will clean the odd behavior.
You may also try to open the doc in an other user account. If it behaves well, you will know that something is corrupted in your current account.
Most of the time it's the Preferences file :
Macintosh HD:Users:<userAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
Quit Pages
drag the preferences file on the Desktop
Restart Pages.
If it behave flawlessly, the problem was in the prefs. Continue to work with the newly created prefs file.
If nothing change, move the preferences file back in it original location to retrieve your original settings.

In JDev11.1.2, when I select texts in editor, it will copy automatically?

All,
I met one strange thing in the Jdev version 11.1.2, when I select some texts in editor(Java/JSP/XML/HTML), it will copy the selected text automatically, and I can't find which property that I can deselect in preference to disable this function.
And I reinstalled it, this issue is still existed, but other colleagues using the same version don't have this issue, and also I didn't meet this issue when I used previous version(like 11.1.1.5 or 11.1.1.4) .
Anyone knows it?
Thanks,
zeroxin

Does it happen the same way when you use some text editors as well (notepad ? gedit? ).

Cant select photoshop as editor in iphoto

I installed Photoshop CS5 (Demo). In iPhoto I cannot select photoshop as the external editor. It isn't in the list.
Any ideas?

iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced; Select whatever app si there and the window to select another will appear.
Failing that
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

I am having trouble selecting (by mouse) a longer form when either previewing or when published

Dear Adobe Community,
In Adobe Muse, a longer form (modified via the widget) is giving me trouble after I created it since it isn't selecting the fields correctly (by mouse). You can tab through the fields fine. I have tried isolating the form on a clean page and it does the same thing as when surrounded by other elements.
I have looked at it by previewing as well as published it on Business Catalyst with the same results. see http://formproblem.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
How do I fix this?
Sincerely,
William

Hello,
I just checked, it seems to be Title field at the top which is creating issues with this form. The "required" (text) for the error state of title field is extending the title field area and causing part of the fields below it not accessible.
Please try to delete and reinsert the title field to check if it works fine or not. And please make sure you delete the *required field (or disable it) before moving the title field and then you can enable the required text message back.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sachin

Trouble selecting text with touch up tool

I have carefully followed the instructions step by step but I cannot get the touch up text tool to turn into an I-beam in order to select text for touching up the color. I have tried with several documents with no luck, trashed the preferences to revert to the default status, closed and reopened acrobat. I've used this facility several times in the past to access the properties of the text in order to change its color, but I can't seem to do it now.
I am using Acrobat 9 for mac on an imac (Intel core i3), currently Under OS10.7.3, but I had the same problem under OS 10.6.8.

Are you looking at scanned text or real text. The inability to get an ibeam (it only comes on when you are over text) is an indication you are likely looking at a graphic. Try it on a file you know for sure is text and see if it works there.

Having trouble selecting part of a movie

hi,
have just upgraded to qt pro.
am trying to select part of an existing movie (a .mpg in this case),
in order do some editing.
i can't get the selection in and out indicators to show up in the
player window in order to do the selection.
i followed help instructions re unchecking the 'hide selection
indicators for empty selection.'
but doesn't help.
can anyone give us any help please...
thanks,
tony

can anyone give us any help please...
QT Pro is working normally here. Multiplexed compression formats like MPG (MPEG-1) are "playback only" supported by the QT structure. They cannot be edited or converted (and retain audio). If you wish to select a portion of such files, use the free MPEG Streamclip application. Selected content can then either be saved using the "Save As..." option or converted to a fully supported compression format (and retain audio).
