Zoom Selection Area Response

When I use the zoom tool and select a rectangle, it means I want to zoom into that rectangle, even if the rectangle is larger than the document. I do this sometimes because I want some gray area on purpose so I can use it to deselect things or start a mask selection outside of the document. Instead of just assuming I want to zoom to fit, will you please make it actually zoom to my selection? Or at least give me an option in the preferences that allows me to turn off smart zooming or something? There is such a thing as too smart!
Thanks for listening

Don't like your fit-to-rectangle zoom? Select a different rectangle.
Maybe you don't understand the request. What I mean is when you have the zoom tool selected, even with a blank document, and say you zoom out then then you want to zoom in to a very specific zoom level that would allow you to see the entire bounds of the active document, but with a couple inches of window background around it, allowing you to use the brush tool to stroke even the edge of the document with the very edge of the brush. Assuming this is a fat brush, it wouldn't be possible to paint the border of the document in this way unless you had sufficient window background space around the document. For me, this is usually a couple inches of a margin.
Instead, Photoshop just assumes that if I'm so far zoomed out and I perform a zoom selection that I want to zoom to fit, but if that's what I wanted I would have right-clicked >> zoom to fit!

I think you are using the wrong drawimage method. If you have the selection retangle coordinates, you will need a method that draw this selection in a new retangle selection (your canvas or panel)
Where goes my paintMethod:
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
g.drawImage(image, START_WINDOW_X, START_WINDOW_Y, WINDOW_X, WINDOW_Y, px1, py1, px2, py2, this);
Take a look in the drawimage methods in the java web page. I think it will help.

Print only cursor-selected area of a PDF in Acrobat Pro, just as it is psbl to do in a browser

Hi
I want to print only cursor-selected area of a PDF in Acrobat Pro. That could be both text and images, which are in my selection. Just as it is psbl to do in a browser. Is it possible in Acrobat PRO?
I am using the latest Acrobat Pro 11.0.9

Thanks for your effort but this again clearly does NOT answer my question. I do see a particular problem and that is that I might want to select text and images over a range of multiple pages. In a doc of 20 pages I might want to make a single selection of the text starting PRECISELY at the MIDDLE of page 2 and then continue dragging my selection all the way to PRECISELY the MIDDLE of page 15, thereby selecting all text and images within the precise range of my selection. That is some 13 pages there and I want to print out ONLY THAT selection of text and images. And in that case I cannot use your suggestion with the marquee zoom. Do you get me?

Hi,
It might be the graphic driver not compitable with the graphic device. Has there been a change to the graphic driver?
One thing you can try is to uninstall graphic driver and download the latest from Windows Update (if you haven't tried this). Here are the possible steps:
1. Go to Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Device Manager, uninstall the graphic card driver by right clicking and select "uninstall". Make sure the option "Delete the driver software for this device" is selected.
2. Reboot the system.
3. Go to Control Panel->System and Security->Windows Update, click on "Optional updates" and find the driver for g210 and do the update.

Saved Selections are Black Not White

I was working on an image and made one selection, which I then saved as an alpha channel. It saved properly with the selection area white and the rest of the image black. I made another selection and saved it as an alpha channel, but the selected area was black, with the rest of the image white - which of course is the reverse of what it should be.
I tried some other images, made selections with various tools and each time I saved them as an alpha channel the selected area is black with the rest of the image white.
Why is this happening?
Thanks,
Greg

Thank you for your responses. I am able to invert the selection once it is made, but my query is to why my selection area initially was white (as it should be) and then suddenly all my subsequent selections are black.
I can invert them, as you point out, but isn't the selected area supposed to be white when I first make the selection, rather than having to invert the selection afterwards?

Com+Space+Drag to zoom selection - what happened CS5

hi, I used to command+space+drag an area and Ps would zoom that area - now it goes max % with grid
Is this normal now under CS5 or am I missing something?

select the Zoom Tool and uncheck "Scrubby Zoom" on the tool options bar.
Thanks.
For my fellow pea brains, here is a picture...

I have 4 equal oblong shape created with borders How do I go about knowing what size the selection area is so that I can crop an image to fit. I don't want to use paste in then adjust the bounding box to suit

Quit the app and restart the iPad.
In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Try the videos app again.

Sudden loss of print selected area in Photoshop 10.0.1?

Between printing one image and printing the next I seem to have lost the ability to print a selected area in Photoshop 10.0.1. I am using this old program because the new Photoshop does not have that option. The box is now greyed out. Does any know why I could lose this, and what can I do to get it back? This is extremely important to my work method...
Thank you.

Great news! "Print Selected Area" was restored in Photoshop CS6.
Go to File > Print, scroll down in the dialog box that appears, et voila:

Adobe Acrobat 9 supposedly allows you to convert selected areas of a web page to PDF from within Int

Software: Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Issue: Using the ‘Adobe PDF toolbar’ from within Internet Explorer
Problem #1:
Can’t convert selected areas of a web page to PDF
When you click ‘select’ on the adobe pdf toolbar, a red dotted line is supposed to appear around parts of the web page as you move the cursor
In my case, that’s not happening
Similarly, when you click on a part of the page, the part is supposed to be highlighted in blue
In my case, that’s not happening
Problem #2:
Can’t convert part of a web page to PDF
You’re supposed to use the cursor to select text and images on a page, then right-click and convert them to a PDF
In my case, nothing happens when I right-click
Any advice??

You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

[JS CS4] define a selection area

Hi all,
I have to isolate repetitive areas in documents of hundreds of pages. My intention is to select the items located in this area.
I wrote a while ago a script to find an item at xy location but this time, x & y will always be different and I can't imagine trying to catch items randomly until the script finds something.
So I thought that maybe I could mimic the selection arrow and drag a selection area from x1y1 to x2y2 to select what's inside that field. My first guess is that js is not enough to do that so I guess it's more c++ related but I am not even sure.
Does someone have any clue on that ?
TIA
Loic

Piece of cake, Loic.
selectInRectangle (app.activeWindow.activePage, 5,10, 120,100);
// Maybe x,y,wide,high would work better?
function selectInRectangle (source, x1,y1, x2,y2)
     var it;
     app.select(null);
     for (it=0; it<source.pageItems.length; it++)
     //     Only select all inside:
          if (source.pageItems[it].geometricBounds[0] >= y1 &&
               source.pageItems[it].geometricBounds[1] >= x1 &&
               source.pageItems[it].geometricBounds[2] <= y2 &&
               source.pageItems[it].geometricBounds[3] <= x2)
               source.pageItems[it].select (SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);

Selection Area in an OpenGL GLAnimCanvas

Hi,
I need to make an selection area by clicking and draging with the mouse. I have an GLAnimCanvas (Open GL canvas object) that is inherited from java.awt.Canvas.
I have an addMouseMotionListener() and an addMouseListener() that detects correctly the events on the GLAnimCanvas... But I don't know how to display the rectangle of the selection area dragging with the mouse...
I tried with the example I found on the sun site (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/painting/overview.html#repaint)
but it seems that there is a problem with the paintComponent(Graphics g) method...
Is there anybody who has an idea ??
Thank you in advance
Mat

You may want to use openGL calls instead of
java.awt.Graphics otherwise you would lose hardware
acceleration for drawing the box. These calls would
be made within gl4java's GLAnimCanvas display()
method. Basically, if your GLAnimCanvas implements
MouseListener and MouseMotionListener you can change
the box coordinates within the appropriate method
(e.g. mouseDragged, mousePressed) and have the box
rendering code within display()Not necessarily. Java2D is accelerated in version 1.4

In the app search, the selections are hard to move right to left why?

in the app search, the selections are hard to move right to left why?

I doubt it was either. As I suggested the possiblity the two issues were related. One of a number things could have been the cause, and the solution.
It took me several minutes to finalize my post in which during that time Apple could have very easilty got things back up and running. The two issues could have been unrelated.
Chamar - tt also appears you posted a screen shot from the Mac App store. The link I provided was specifically for the online "Apple Store" - not "App" store.
And again, as it's been an issue in the past - I suggested the two issues may have been related; it usually is, because your Apple ID is tied to "everything Apple" - Mac App store, iCloud, FaceTime, iTunes, Apple Store online, and even here, including the forums... "everythig Apple."
I even tried to get onto Apple Store online through the App on my iPhone. I get the exact same screen shot I placed in my original post. At any rate... everything is back up and running.

Elements 7 print selected area only

Have just upgraded from Elements 4 to 7.
Under old version I could easily print a small rectangular selection from a possible A3 print for evaluation before printing the whole thing. There was an option after File>Print to 'Print selected area', after first making a rectangular selection on the image.
Perhaps I am missing something but I cannot find an equivalent command in Elements 7.
Couls someone please enlighten me? - Thanks.

Hello Nicole,
Thanks for that, it seems strange that such a useful feature was discontinued - A3 size paper and ink is too expensive to just run tests. Once or twice, having marked a selection using the Marquee tool, I have found that if I click on 'custom' size the selection only will appear in the print preview. Unfortunately it does not always happen and I have no idea of the criteria required to make it do this on demand.
Cheers.
