Workspace on MAC

I just switched to MAC after working for many years on PC. My main problem is how to minimize, or make invisible, other programs when I work on photoshop. Now i have illustrator and Indesign vindows visible when I am in photoshop and this is very frustrating.
Thank you
Elena

You should try the Application Switcher that is part of the Mac OS
In any application, to switch to any other OPEN application, just hold down the COMMAND key and "tap" the TAB key.
An onscreen overlay will come up that shows all your currently open application, just tap the TAB key to move forward to the desired application
COMMAND, SHIFT and tapping TAB will show the same but just moves through the list backwards.
The important thing is to "Tap" the Tab key, holding down the Tab key will just very rapidly cycle through your applications.
This is even faster that clicking the icons in the dock.

  • CS4 workspace on Mac hides

    I'd like to keep my CS4 DW panels visible while I click into
    other programs. Anybody know if there's a way to do this? (I'd like
    to have MS Word open while I edit pages in DW, for example.) This
    "feature" is driving me crazy.
    Right now, if DW is open, and I happen to click on anything
    other than a DW panel, the application hides itself! Can this be
    turned off?

    No, that's the way that Dreamweaver works on a Mac, and it
    did so in
    CS3 as well. It's only the panels that disappear; the
    Document window
    remains onscreen.
    FWIW, the Windows version of Dreamweaver works the way you
    would like.
    In most other respects, the Mac version of Dreamweaver CS4 is
    more
    Windows-like than previous versions were. During the public
    beta
    testing period there was a considerable volume of complaints
    from Mac
    users about the program not acting "like a Mac". Different
    people like
    working in different ways.

  • Mac os10.9 and updated after effect cc 12.0.1 still have problem

    After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/xxxx/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.0/Workspaces.1121.1407353248120481.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'.

    Mac OS has set the permissions for the preferences folder incorrectly. Set the permissions for the entire preferences folder (the 12.0 folder) to be writable.
    This happens a lot with Mac OS upgrades, as opposed to fresh installations of the new OS.

  • Exporting Bridge workspace

    I want to export a Bridge workspace and then import it into Creative Cloud and share across all the seats I am administrating.  Can someone help?  I can't seem to figure this out.

    Hi Ben,
    I don't think there is built in functionality for this currently, so I think the only option would be to manually copy the workspace files between systems.
    The file should be saved in the following locations. I'd only transfer it between the same version of Bridge and OS and with Bridge closed.
    In Windows, WORKSPACE files are saved to the following directory:
    [user]\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS[#] \Workspaces\
    In Mac OS X, they are saved to the following directory:
    [user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge/Workspaces/
    Win 7 for example
    C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge #\Workspaces
    These are the Creative Cloud apps that support syncing settings currently:

    Hope that helps,

  • After Effects 2014.0.1 CC update - BEWARE

    I just now updated CC with the After Effects 2014.0.1 update, and it's like my After Effects has gone back to a fresh install. READ, ALL MY SETTINGS WERE DELETED. WORKSPACES DELETED. WINDOW SETTINGS, GONE!
    What the hell, Adobe?!?!?! Oh, you say that I have my settings backed up to the cloud. In After Effects, I go to Preferences, Sync. And I get the message that CC can't connect, authorize, or find my settings. I'm BEYOND frustrated with Adobe. Every update seems to bring on new reasons why I have to spend 1/2 my day trying to get my programs back to the way I need to use them.

    Hello, I had the same problem on my Mac Pro. Where all my workspaces just disappeared.
    But I managed to restore my workspaces by retrieving my workspaces from
    (Mac OS) [drive]/Users/[user_name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/ModifiedWorkspaces
    And I copied and pasted it to the corresponding folder in:-
    (Mac OS) [drive]/Users/[user_name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.1/ModifiedWorkspaces
    As the new and old settings are not deleted from the Preferences folder.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers!!

  • Why does FB4 crash for no apparent reason?

    I have now been using FB 4 for a couple weeks and it has a quirk that is  beginning to bug me.
    For no aparent reason - it never does it the same way twice - but I will be working on a file, and finish doing something (could be saving the file, could be launching the app, could be dragging a new control, and suddenly it just disappears.
    When I bring up it up again, half of my controls are off the stage, which reallys screws up my states. Its like it completely resizes - and as I didn't set up a size to begin with, that is so odd.
    But the main thing is: why does it keep crashing?

    Are you using plug-in or standalone? If plug-in and on any non-bundled distribution, adjust your settings http://blogs.adobe.com/jasonsj/2010/02/improving_compiler_performance.html.
    Could also be a JVM issue http://blogs.adobe.com/jasonsj/2010/03/flash_builder_4_snow_leopard_and_the_64-bit_problem .html.
    Otherwise, find your workspace log or crash log and post it here.

  • How to un-fill workspace background, PSE 8 for Mac

    I just bought v. 8 for Mac, and there is no checkbox in Prefs to get rid of the 'fill workspace background', its keeping me from using v. 8, as I cannot see my desktop.
    Here is a screenshot to show what is wrong,
    http://www.jcdouglass.net/images/no-yes.jpg
    If you can help me get rid of this annoying thing, I will be very happy to use the new version,
    Thank you,
    Jane

    Hi Barbara,
    Thank you!   Weve been struggling with this, they sure fooled me by changing the way to do it.
    I would think that Fill Workspace would be better working than Application Frame, as it sure isnt a frame in my book.
    But you saved the day for us, as you always do!
    2 more interesting things, when I use this forum with Firefox 3.5.5 for Mac or Opera 10.10, when I click Post Message, I get an error message that there is no body to the message, but found that using Safari is the fix for that one.
    And Adobe forums would not recognize my old username, email, Adobe ID #, nor my password on this new Mac. I couldnt figure that one out, as it works fine on my old Mac, but this new one, whew, I had to re-sign up. But I am the old Jane from years ago from Cape Cod.
    And we have a new Yellow Lab, a girl named Lilly.
    Thank you again!
    I will post the answer on our classroom forum immediatly.

  • How do you copy a Flash Workspace from on Mac to another?

    Hi There,
    Most of the other Adobe apps have a "Workspaces" directory located in the user preferences directory but I can't find any info on where Flash stores it's workspaces files.
    I need to copy and install the same workspace across multiple computers - does anyone know how to do this for Flash?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Thanks Mate,
    On a Mac (CS5.5 on OX 10.6.8) it's a bit different and found it here: Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5.5
    Previous versions are there also buy the look of it.

  • Workshop or Workspace Studio on MAC OS

    Hello,
    I need to install the BEA 9.2 and BEA 10 in Mac OS X. I caught a binary edelivery.oracle.com and used the command below. The installation is successful, but I can not use the Workshop or Workspace Studio.
    I used binary for HP and IBM, for I could not run those for linux that has the extension .bin. I'm using Snow Leopard OS.
    Has anyone here ever used these tools with BEA on Mac OS?
    Regards,

    If you check the Supported Platform documentation, I think you'll find that Mac OS is not supported.

  • Does the Fill Workspace Background function still exist in any capacity in Photoshop Elements 12 (Mac version)?

    Does the Fill Workspace Background function still exist in any way?
    I could make it such that I could see my desktop (or whatever was open behind my file) when I was using Elements 6.
    Thanks and best.
    (Mac Version. Elements 12)

    Hey, thanks kindly for the assistance.
    That is highly disappointing.
    Do you happen to know if the feature remains for PS CC? I have CS5, too, and this feature exists, I wonder if it has continued in this line...
    Thanks again.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "the import doesn't work." If you're trying to use File>Import, that's for importing content or FCP XML; it definitely will not work for something like a workspace XML.
    If there's a way to import a workspace, like there is for export presets, I'm not aware of it. I can think of two options, however:
    manually copy the workspace XMLs to the folder I cited above (or, if your Documents folder redirects elsewhere, then in the Layouts folder at that location)
    in Workspace submenu under Window, make sure the option "Import Workspace from Projects" is enabled, and then load a project that uses a workspace that you want to share.

  • Pse 8 for mac: turn off tabs in workspace?

    I am finding the tabs across the top of the workspace get in the way when i am using tools and modifying them etc, mousing over the tab to get to the modify options, activates the tab label pop up, which blocks my use of the modifyers -- hope that makes sense)
    I want to turn off the tab option -- no inactive, no active tabs above the workspace square -- just have the photos in the project bin is enough for me. I can't figure out HOW to turn this option off. Please help !
    eljoh

    Thank you for quick response. When i open a few photos in PSE 8,  thumbnails go in the project bin along the bottom (that's good), the last photo opened opens in the in the work window (that's good), and at the top, above the workspace that holds the photo to work on (active photo), and below the options for adjusting tools and then the menus about that, are TABS with the file names of each photo opened, along the top of the work area. I want to shut off that option (i know i turned it on to try it, now want it off) as each time i ajust a brush size or opacity etc my mouse goes over a TAB which then leads to the file name "popping up" and blocking my access to the ajustments i want.
    does that help you understand? i hope so !!
