When will the image be the UI priority

One day, the UI in PS will actually aknowledge that the most important thing on the screeen is the actual image being edited. They did it in Lr, I was kinda hoping that CS6 would actually get it right. However, if someone has a solution to this, please let me know:
Filters, save etc all open up over the image, and whilst they can be moved, they do not end up 'docked', they always float. At least when you move them once, they stay in that position each time, but you have to move every one, and it has to 'float' somewhere.
The palete arrangement is perhaps as bad, if not worse. An image at 100% on a 24" screen fills the screen, which is of course great, but the paletes then fold out over the image - some way of 'shifting' things around would be great, or even just a palete arragement that made more use of the screen.
And, the options bar at the top is mostely emply, wasted space. I was hoping something would be done about that - lots of options could be docked in that space, not the least being something as fundamental as the Info data.....

Hi Shane and welcome to the forum.
Custom workspaces are your friend. Set the palettes to your preferred locations, and go Window > Workspaces > New workspace. This puts a button on the Options bar. Set up several custom workspaces, and switch between them with a single click. Right click the button and chose rest when things get into a muddle.
If you value screen realestate for the image, then Photoshop works particularly well with dual monitors. I have a 30 inch Dell ultrasharp, and a 19in 4:3 screen for palettes etc. Switching workspaces on the fly is one of the most useful things you can do to improve workflow, and a 4:3 screen that matches the hight of your main monitor would be cheap as chips.

most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter the title in iPhoto. why the inconsistency? running OS 10.9.5 and using iPhoto 9.5.1

Try this: select one of the photos that are showing the wrong title and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to File Name menu option.
See if that will put the name that you want under the thumbnail.

I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize
Sorry I have only a german version , so don't know what your menu will show.

Is it possible to get the image from the i pad when mirroring via Apple TV to fill the screen instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?

When mirroring, is it possible to get the image from the ipad to fill the screen on the TV instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, the iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3, a TV has an aspect ratio of 16:9, to fit one into the other is impossible without distorting the picture. If your TV has a zoom feature, you may be able to use this to fill the screen a little more to your liking, but this will result in cropping top and bottom.

When working in my photo album in iphoto my photos are replaced with a grey box and an !. I can't see the image on the page.

Lately when I am working in my photo album in iPhoto my images are replaced with a grey box and an ! . I can't see the images on the page. All my photos are high quality. What am I doing wrong?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

When I use Export Project to New Library in Aperture does it create a copy of the images in the new Library?

I am going through my only library now and trying to better organize everything. I am grouping my images into projects by year then cleaning up each year. As I finish a year I use the Export to New Library option to create a library for each year. My question is when I do this and I tell it to Consolidate Masters into exported library does it create copies of the images in the new library as well as leaving a copy in the original library? My goal once I get this completed is to delete the original library but I certainly don't want to lose any of my images. Just looking at file sizes for the libraries I can see that the main library never gets smaller and the new libraries don't really seem large enough to contain everything.
Thanks.

To be honest a 6 year old machine with 4gb of memory and 300gb of disk running Lion and Aperture is not going to give you the greatest performance no matter how you split the library.
You're going to need more disk, What's your backup procedure now? The best performance will be had by getting an external disk putting the masters on it as referenced and having the library on the internal drive.
More memory would be nice but a 6 year old iMac, I think, is maxed out at 4. You'll need to keep other programs running to a minimum when you're working with Aperture.
How much free space is on the internal drive? That will be an issue also. If even with the masters relocated to an external drive cause the internal drive to fill up you'll need to move the library off the internal. If you do that you'll want to go with a FW drive. As long as only the masters are on the external you can get by with a USB but once the library goes out there you're really want to look at FW.
Hope this helps, post back if you have more questions
regards

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
Thanks.

Regarding about Ipad with the I-phone all in one? When will be available to the public.

My regard is about I Pad with the I-phone all in one? When will be available for the public.? Thanks.

The what? There is no combined device just wild rumors and pure speculation. If or when there ever is such a thing, you'll know the same time as the rest of us. When Apple announces it.

When I open an image in Photoshop, I cannot see the file. The thumbnail in on the right, but I cannot see the image on the work area. I am using Windows 8

When I open Photoshop CS6 I cannot view the image. The thumbnail is visible on the right hand side and the work area shows the file information, but no image. I have updated PS, my driver. It is the same for both jpg or RAW.

Be sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Try disabling GPU acceleration in the preferences then restart Photoshop.

That should work out, maybe edit it to force updating in the new image.

When will iPad 2 to the United Arab Emirates ?

Hello
Does anybody know when will iPad 2 to the United Arab Emirates,
And prices the same as that announced by Apple
Thank you

Apple has not announced a date for the iPad 2 to be released in the UAE, so no one can tell you when that will be. Nor has Apple released pricing for the UAE.
Apple refers folks to this company in the UAE

Which tool in Camera Raw, exactly? The Spot Removal Tool? Adjustment Brush?

In lightroom 5 I have been importing images via a card reader. Now you can see the images on the computer but when I try to import it says that it cannot read the card any ideas how to solve?

I have been importing images via card reader with no problem. Now all of a sudden I can see the images on the screen but when I try to import the computer says that it can not read them and quotes numbers of the images. Any idea how to solve?

Please give us the exact error message.
Please state your operating system.
Please state the exact version of Lightroom you are using.
Please give us any other relevant details.
What does this mean: "Now all of a sudden I can see the images on the screen"? Are you looking in Lightroom or your operating system or the camera screen? Where?

Good day!
What is "place" supposed to mean – open, place as Smart Object, …?
What are the image’s Color Mode and bit depth?
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Does Window > Adjustments not raise the Adjustments Panel?

When dragging an image onto a fresh canvas, the resizing feature presnaps the image into the canvas size. I can confirm that this has not happened to me in previous projects. I've also tested this problem by making a new larger document size and dragging in the same render. It snaps again. I don't want to re-size from the canvas dimensions, I want to resize from the render's original dimensions.
