Wow! CS6 let's you click through transparent areas in placed psd's!

I just noticed this, this is great!
If you cut out the background of a photo in PS and then place that in AI, you can now select things behind it as long as you click on a transparent area. Knowhattamean? Before, in CS5, if you clicked there you would still select the PSD.
Is there a list somewhere of all the improvements in AI CS6? You know the "little things"?

Actually, no. I thought that for a moment too. If I had Select Object by Path Only selected then I would be able to select a psd only by clicking on the outer border of it.
At some point when I first installed AI CS6, I was able to select the psd by clicking anywhere on the psd that wasn't transparent. And clicking in the transparent areas had no effect.
I thought that was great. And that's what I lost and am trying to get back again.

  • Click through transparent parts of a movie clip

    Anyone have any idea how to do this?
    I found an old post from January that suggested saving the original image as an SWF via Illustrator.  I tried it, but my clip is still registering clicks in transparent areas.
    Here's a link.  http://www.aparch.net/Infant/Infant.html
    All I'm trying to do is allow the drawing to be dragged around the screen, but I don't want it to be clickable in the transparent areas where the green background shows through.
    Also, can anyone explain how to eliminate the pale cast that the transparent areas are making?  The background to the drawing shows totally transparent in Photoshop, but the boundaries of the movie are visible because the supposedly transparent areas of the movie are slightly masking the background.
    Maybe these two problems are related?

    Well, that helped the transparency problem.  It looks much cleaner now.  But onPress is still registering all of the movieclip - including the transparent areas.  What am I doing wrong?  My movieclip has the following code -
    on (press) {
    startDrag(this, false, 100, 200, 900, 300);
    dragging = true;
    on (release, releaseOutside) {
    stopDrag();
    dragging = false;

  • Trim Transparent Pixels while placing PSD

    Hi
    Would like to know is there any way of trimming the PSD files when placing them on to InDesign?
    The PSD is of 4000px x 2500px whereas the actual product is only 1200x800px and when i fit the image proportionately, its calculating the transparent pixels, any suggestion on how this needs to be addressed?
    -Bala

    @Bala – there is an explicit UI command for that in PhotoShop: "Trim to Transparent Pixels" (I'm on a German version of PhotoShop, so I cannot tell the exact English phrase).
    Zuschneiden => Trim
    Basiert auf => Based on
    transparenten Pixeln => transparent Pixels
    Entfernen => Cut to
    [x] Above     [x] Left
    [x] Below     [x] Right
    One could script that and use BridgeTalk to launch PhotoShop out of InDesign, do the trimming, and relink to InDesign.
    You'll find some examples of BridgeTalk here around in the forum.
    For scripting PhotoShop there is a different sub-forum.
    Another solution, not recommended:
    InDesign's ability for detect edges in a placed image.
    But using PhotoShop will be far more accurate, not to say: precise…

  • How can I have a PDF in Full Screnn Mode without it goinging to the next page when you click?

    I'm trying to make, let's say, a mini website using a pdf that includes hyperlinks. I also want the PDF to open in FULL SCREEN Mode. For some reason, when in FULL SCREEN mode you can click on the links (works excellent), but when you click on an area of the page that is NOT a link, it forwards you to the next page in the PDF.
    I ordered the full version of Acrobat X Pro, and thought that it would work saving it out of Powerpoint (original file), but I had to disable the add-in because it just kept on crashing.
    I can't seem to find where i can control the "Do Not Forward to Next Page OnClick".
    Help!
    Thanks!

    If you just purchased Acrobat 10, you might be eligible for a free upgrade to Acrobat 11, which is suppposed to have much improved export to PPT.

  • Catalog to click through product list

    Hello,
    I am trying to get this page: http://splendourinteriors.cloudsourcecms.com/services to behave as follows. The catalogs are displayed dinamically as they are added in the back-end, when clickting through the catalog you will see the list of products. Somehow I remember seeing this done and doing this by using the overall layout to display the catalogs and the individual catalog to display the products...and I don't remember writing any special js for it, it was working out of the box.
    However, now this no longer works. Clicking through catalogs it will display the list of sub-catalogs now (well, currently hidden but still there).
    Was this how it always worked and I am remember it wrongly? What can I do to make it display the list of products instead on catalog clickthrough?
    Thanks!
    Maria

    I had a look at that site and it seems to work the way you want it to work. Services is your top level catalogue. Any catalogue you create and add it as a subcatalogue to services will show up on http://splendourinteriors.cloudsourcecms.com/services page. If you click through to any of the catalogues on http://splendourinteriors.cloudsourcecms.com/services you will get a list of products. For example, I click on catalogue-1 and I'm taken to http://splendourinteriors.cloudsourcecms.com/services/catalog-1 where I can see the products inside that catalogue.
    In any case, whenever you're viewing something inside the online shop you are seeing the overall layout and tags {tag_cataloguelist} and {tag_productlist} are trying to render any subcatalogues or products the current catalogue you are viewing contains. Hope that makes sense
    Cheers,

  • Transparent area of lighweight components transparent for events?

    Hello,
    I'm making lightweight components by extending JComponent. These contain a CubicCurve2D line which I want to be sensitive to mouseevents.
    My question is: How do I make the transparent areas within the component bounds transparent for mouse events?
    I want the events only to apply to the CubicCurve2D not the whole rectangle. So I want components that can overlap and only painted parts of the component to respond to mouse events and those showing through transparent areas to also respond.
    Any help would be much appreciated as I'm really stumped on this!

    I previously implemented the project like this but was concerned that it required excessive searching for intersections on Mouse events... using up lots of processing power and generally being clunky.
    I am creating many of these curves (100's) and was hoping to optimize performance by allowing each one to repaint itself (avoiding repainting the whole lot) in response to mouse overs, clicks etc.
    Is there anyway to define the bounds of a component to match it's painted area?
    For example if I created a round button that partially overlapped a square button; how could you avoid activating the round button when clicking outside of the circle but inside it's rectangular bounds while still activating the square button underneath this transparent area?

  • Clicking on open area in MenuBar throws error

    Worth checking my blog from yesterday if you are using Firefox -
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/projectsupport/archive/2014/12/18/project-online-opening-projects-from-project-center-with-firefox.aspx - this can give this kind of error if you have spaces in the project name.  Also make sure in Firefox you have the correct
    association for the protocol handler (under Options, Applications) - it needs to have ms-project associated with 'Use Microsoft Office 2013 (default). If this doesn't work then maybe Fiddler will help identify what's going on.  Please don't post
    Fiddler traces to the forum though as they can capture passwords etc.

  • Double-clicking a transparent vector shape pretends like it's going to let you change the fill type

    One thing that's irritating/confusing/non-intuitive about the new vector layers is that, if your vector layer has no fill, then double-clicking on the layer will bring up the controls for whatever type of fill you had before changing it to "no fill". That part is a bit confusing, but not too bad. The bigger problem is that, if you then try to change the fill from those controls, the vector shape remains unchanged after you click OK. So in other words, if my vector shape currently has no fill, and I double click it and select a new color from the color picker, obviously I want the shape to have that new color when I click OK, but instead nothing happens.
    For those who like to answer questions that were not asked , I am aware that you can (finally!) change the fill type by clicking the appropriate fill button in the Options bar. I'm not talking about that right now.
    I think the option to change the type of fill should be available in the color picker window, the gradient fill window, and the pattern fill window, so you can switch fill types on the fly.

    Thanks for the feedback.
    The best (and recommended) way to change the fill of a shape layer is to use the option bar panels for the vector tools. These are going to give you the best up-to-date shape layer controls.
    But we left in the legacy behavior of double-clicking on the layer thumbnail to change the fill options as a way of easing the transition to the new shape layers. We didn't make any changes to these dialogs or their overall behavior, which is why they don't allow you to change the fill type and why the layer appearance doesn't update if the fill is set to None in the options bar.

  • Photo viewers available to let you page through photos

    I'm working with an iMac (CRT) running OS 9.2.1...are there any photo viewers available to let you page through photos (not view one at a time.) I have downloaded "Multiple Picture Viewer" from TechRepublic but it's not really what I'm looking for.

    Hi, Dorothea -
    I'd suggest you acquire a copy of GraphicConverter for OS 9 -
    GraphicConverter
    For many folk who deal with images in any quantity GC has proved to be an important tool. It can convert from/to most any file format and platform; add preview and file icons; do batch operations (thousands of files at one time); edit images; and much more. Its modest cost is more than offset by its ability to fill needs.
    For the purposes of your expressed needs, it also includes a slideshow function that is easy to use and easy to manage. To use that function, just drop a folder full of the images you want to view onto GC's icon, or and alis to it. After a short wait you will be presented with a layout of all the images in the folder. Do a Command-A (Select All), and after the pictures are selected the Slideshow icon at the top will become active. Click that, and the slideshow will start. In the slideshow screen will be a control strip allowing you to manage what is being shown; a mouse click (and spacebar click) will automatically switch to the next picture.
    While viewing the layout display (catalog mode) you can easily manage pictures. You can select one to perform any of GC's operations on, or double-click it to open the picture itself. You can also drag a picture out of that page and onto the desktop or into another folder to relocate that picture; or, Option-drag it to a new location, and it will be copied there instead of being moved.
    I find GraphicConverter to be an indespensible tool, and have kept it current for more than a decade.
    And, no, I do not derive any profit from it being purchased - I just like it.

    Hi, Mrs.Frankie57. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
