Imageready Extra rectangle

It’s possible to hide permanently the blue extra rectangle that appear on the layer on Imageready?

Is it a "slice"?

I have not slices.
It’s a simple layer. This layer has a thin blue line with 4 square marks around it
I can remove only with CTRL H but when I reselct the layer the line reappear

Thanks

Cntrl-h is a shortcut for View -> Extras, toggling it on or off. This means you have either a grid, a slice or guides on that layer. So do View -> Show and see if Grid has a check mark by it, if so uncheck it. Or do View -> Clear Guides if ‘Clear Guides’ is highlighted … if it’s grey then that means you don’t have a Guide or two. You say you don’t have slices but if View -> Show -> Slices is checked then uncheck it as well.

My guess is it’s a Grid but I could easily be wrong … but there are only a handful of choices if cntrl-h turns it off. This should fix it.

Bubu, my comments are for Photoshop, I just noticed you are in ImageReady instead … the gist is the same but the exact syntax in the Extras menu is slightly different between the two programs. I think you can find and fix the problem from what I posted though.

Bill was right – control-h will remove the bounding box along with all other things that are turned on.
A selective way is control-shift-h

In Imageready that blue box is the tightest frame that fits over a particular layer’s elements – for example a number of things with transparency between them.

Enjoy!

Bill, an aside on Grids/Guides relative to some other programs, Painter in particular. I’ve found that both will "print" to the Photoshop Layer as an image, when left on and the PSD is Imported into Painter (at least up to v 6 – as I learned to "turn off" these View features, I have not tried it with later Painter vers). I’ve also had them show up with two other, mainly "viewing" programs, but they are tough to get rid of, unless one goes back, turns them off, and re-Saves.

Just an aside, but I usually find the best workflow is PS to P rather than the other way round. Of course, given the printing abilities of the software you do still have to take them back to PS. However, I’ve just had so many recommendations for QImage, that I’m looking into that as a better solution.

I agree concerning the workflow. I usually start my projects (being a photographer first) in PS, then take all, or part, into Painter to do that work, usually on the background, or to add some texture to a surface, then back. Going back over the versions, I never liked printing from Painter, and would either do it from PM, or PS. With CS, I find that I do a bit more printing from Acrobat, than PM, or In-Design, but then remember that I am on PC and real PostScript is via a RIP, or similar software.

Please give us all a report of QImage. I’ve heard of the program, but know virtually nothing of it.

Understand. Though I do find that ID is very good even printing from a PC.

Will do. We’ve just been having a discussion about it in comp.periphs.printers and there are a fair number of enthusiastic people (one in particular who I correspond with off the newsgroups and whose opinions I particularly respect) which is why I’m willing to give the trial a go. 🙂
