Brush Problem in Elements 8

I am upgrading to Elements 8 from an earlier version on my Mac. The problem I have encounterd is that when I use brushes for painting or erasing the effect does not extend to the full size of the brush tip outline on the screen. For example, if I select a 17 pixel circular brush, it only paints about a 10 pixel cirular area in the center of the brush outline. This is not how the brushes functioned in my earlier version. I have tried all of the options in the Preference Panel, and Tool Bar, to no avail. Any suggestions? Or. is this just how it works in this latest version? If so, I don't get the logic of it. [ iMac w/ OSX 10.5 ]

In the pse8 editor, go to Edit>Preferences>Display&Cursors
and check Normal Brush Tip and see if that helps.

  • I have two problems using elements 11

    When I try to put two images into a "new file" both images are in front of the file. I can't drag them into the file. I have the correct sizing. I did this with no problem in elements 3.
    I tried to use the type tool. No matter what I try all i get is a straight line . Noletters

    Dear 99jonWonderful-that response answers all the difficulties that I have struggled with. (Maybe the solution was considered too obvious to be in my copy of Nick Vandome's Elements 11 In Easy Steps!)

    File >> Save As
    Then create a PSD copy.
    If you are using more than the healing brush e.g. adding text or using adjustment layers; your layers will be saved for future editing.
    PSD is also a lossless format. You can treat it as you master copy containg the combined adjustments made with the raw sliders and any further adjustments made in expert mode. You can use the master to make a jpeg at any time. Simply open and do File >> Save As again. Or select a few PSD thumbnails in the Organizer and use File >> Export As New.

  • Lightroom 5 Adjustment Brush Problem?

    When I want to use my adjustment brush, I do not have the second circle show up to show where it has taken the adjustment from the photo. Is there a way to fix this? I was able to use it before and didn't have a problem. But I haven't used the program in a while. If anyone can help me with this that would be awesome.

    When I am advising on weird adjustment brush problems I always say - Update your Mouse and Tablet drivers to the latest version.  Update your video card to the latest driver.  If neither of those fix it, then try resetting the preference file: Resetting (or 'Trashing') the Lightroom Preferences file - Lightroom Forums

  • Problems with Elements 7 Backup/Sync

    I have PSE 7 and have previously loaded albums I created in PSE 7 up to Photoshop.com.  Today I created a new album w/all JPEG files.  My PSE 7 is set to automatically upload to Photoshop.com when a new album is created....but after 4 hours now, not one single picture from the album is on Photoshop.com, much less the album.  The "backup/synchronization " function is reporting to be "operating normally".  The pictures in the new album are marked as "backup/synchronization" pending.  I'm a "Plus" member and still have plenty of space at my Photoshop.com account.
    How can I get my new album to load up to Photoshop.com?
    Thanks, Dave
    PS:  After reading the numerous previous posts, I am astounded that Adobe hasn't come up with a easy fix that is not as painful as the fixes offered in earlier posts (though they are appreciated).  I don't see how Adobe can tout the safety of their easy back up of albums to preserve precious memories when this is such a PIA.  I find the previous post about the free Picasa program compelling and now feel like to dork for re-upping the additional $$ for "Plus" membership.

    I'm having the same problem in Elements 8, the Sync agent shuts itself down.
    Additionally, I tried to launch it manually ElementsOrganizerSyncAgent.exe in the Elements Organizer 8 folder.
    The agent appears in the system tray for about 5 seconds then disappears.
    The Elements Organizer still says "Operating normally" but options such as "View Status" are shadowed.  Albums continue to sit in the Pending state.
    Here are the logs for the Elements team.  Given all the issues people are having, I hope this has been escalated.

  • Layout option access problem in Elements 11

    I have a problem with Elements 11.  I'm busy doing a photobook but I find when i open the book it will open the page, layouts and graphics icons (bottom right) but i cannot get the layouts to open.  When I open this option it opens a blank page.  All my pages are there and all the graphics options and samples graphics appears as normal.
    When I open a new photobook - the layouts icon opens as normal and I can pick the various options for the number of photos per page.  Please help.  JM2013

    Thank for response.
    1.  In Win, 2. Created book in Elements 11, 3.  In advanced Mode.
    All the pages and layout as created before and all the additional pages that I have not yet used (added photos to) are there.  But as said before - the apges opens, the graphics opens but when I open the Layout options it only opens a blank window and the various layout options does not show.
    regards.

    You have 2 unreachable statements in this method.
    public static int eval(String s2, String op, String s3) {
    return lookup(s2);
    return lookup(op);
    return lookup(s3);
    } You're missing a } at the end of this method:
    public static int lookup(String s) {
        for(int k = 0; k < symbols.length; k++){
            String symbol = symbols[k];
            if(s.equals(symbol))
                return k;
        }You have some loose } and ; at the end of the file:
    public static void main(String args[])
    commandline();

  • Problems launching Elements 11 Editor

    Hi, Is anyone else having a problem opening elements 11 editor? It only appears to have been happening since the advert for elements 12 has come up.
    All I get is a Runtime Error! message, stating This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Andaleeb,
    Many thanks for your reply... I lost patience with it yesterday and uninstalled and reinstalled it which seems to have cleared the problem for now.
    I don't really know too much about computers, but I have an older version of Adobe Elements also installed on this computer and I was wondering if maybe that has been interfering with launching Elements 11 Editor?
    Anyway, Thanks again for your advice.... I've made a note of it ..... so if it happens again I'll try your way of correcting it.

If I use Panel Label and Message element then I need to copy LABEL from input text element to Panel Label and Message element LABEL PROPERTY. Can I define in View object that I don't need label and want all attributes in Panel Label and Message element?

  • Create a catalog of brushes in Photoshop Elements

    Is there a way to catalog the brushes in Photoshop Elements in an automated or simple manner?

    Create your flat image.
    Cut it apart. Put the parts on separate layers. Transform each layer to look like it's being viewed from a consistent angle.
    You might achieve this more easily if you look into the Vanishing Point part of Filters. There are some small descriptions of this in Help.
