How can I adjust the scroll bars in Photoshop so they don't keep taking off on me?

[NTC Ann]

+ how can I get rid of the bar that keeps coming up every time I try to do something

Such as if I am in type tool... it comes  up w. type atributes or if I am in another

thing,  it keeps coming up with those attributes and comes up right where

I want to work. How do I get rid of it??

Moved from the Premiere Pro forum to the Photoshop forum.

Uncheck "overscroll" in Preferences.

The contextual task bar can be disabled by clicking the three dots.

+How do I change the scale tool so it will go from one corner instead of jumping way hi fm middle

Thanks again

@NTC Ann 

Photoshop does not have a tool in the Tools panel called "Scale tool". What are you calling the "scale tool"  so we can better assist?

+Command E used to be merge down a layer.... this time it turned my image black and white and

I can't undo it? Thanks for all help

@NTC Ann 

I suspect you accidentally pressed Cmd+3 instead of Cmd+E. Open your Channels panel and click the top channel: the composite channel for RGB.

Thanks! + where is pref's so I can uncheck plz.

+ to size so that I click on a corner and drag... doesn't enlarge entire image but just resizes where I want please?

Third tool down on L... was going to try and draw a red box around it but selecting (top R tool) - couldn't get it to do... and couldn't get the type in. What I call resize... Looks like 2 90° angles on top of each other = 3rd on L

When I click on a corner to resize what I want... instead it resizes the whole thing instead of just what I am trying to resize by dragging just the corner down and holding shift so resizes at same size... just bigger or smaller....thanks again!!!!

Lots to learn in this new Photoshop. Have been using Photoshop for many many years and used to my shortcuts, etc.

And trying to find where pref's are so I can uncheck overscroll. Thanks again.

Edit > Preferences.

On newer Macs I think the "Edit" header has been replaced with "Photoshop".

Not quite. "Preferences" have always been in the Application menu on the Mac (Photoshop, Illustrator, Quicken, BitDefender, etc.) They have never been in the Edit menu — that's Windows only.

What has changed is that in macOS13, Apple has changed the word "Preferences" to "System Settings". (In macOS12 and earlier, it's Preferences.)

On this page users can select their macOS and see where to find Preferences/System Settings.

Ah, of course, @jane-e  I knew that, just had a little short circuit 🙂

I am trying to find where the preferences are.

Someone said changed to Photoshop. But I am in photoshop and can't find preferences so I can uncheck "overscroll"

Thanks for help.

On the Mac side it's Photoshop 2023>Settings>Tools and uncheck Overscroll
