Could not use the Brush tool because there is not enough RAM? Photoshop CS6?
That and I couldn't even save a project I was working because (There was not enough RAM)
My computer is running Windows 7 with 4 (3 usable) GB Ram, Pentium Dual Core; @ 2.00 Ghz
-I have allocated all possible RAM to CS6
-I set 6 scratch disks (the first two are 1TB external HDD)
-I fixed the file peeling so that there is quite a bit of it
- I have Photoshop CS5 still installed (it works fine) as well as Elements 9, I don't know if that could be a problem or not.
I like the new features of CS6 especially the new 5000 px brush, but half the time I can't even use it because of this problem! What can I do to fix it?
I mostly use it for digital art so the pictures get to be at most 5000-3300 pixels. I get the problem mostly when I use brushes at 5000 px. CS5 works just fine and it uses the scratch disks I emplace, it seems as though CS6 doesn't even use them.
Obviously, you are running Win7 32-bit OS. Is that correct?
What are the full specs. of your Windows Virtual Memory, the Page File? What is its size, location, and is it static, or dynamically managed?
With a 32-bit OS, I would set the Page File to a fast, internal, physical HDD, set it to be statically managed, and size it to about 2.5x the installed RAM (~ 10GB in your case, and with a 32-bit OS).
That should provide more resources, and by being statically managed, save you CPU cycles too.
I also agree that you do NOT want to allocate all RAM to PS, as the OS needs some too. That will be counter-productive.
Good luck,

photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden. happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point. i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.
You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know. -
Could not use the move tool because no layers are selected.
This problem started a few days ago. I like to hold down the "Shift" key when moving a layer (either text or image) to keep the horizontal spacing locked. It was never a problem but a dialog box is now popping up with the following note: Could not use the move tool because no layers are selected.
There's no problem if I'm not holding the "Shift" key but I can't keep the layer from moving up or down. I could just use the arrow key but sometimes I need to move the layer quite a distance.
Also, I'm noticing that if I don't have the cursor directly on the type/image layer, regardless of whether the "Shift" key is selected, a rectangle similar to when the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" is used appears and the layer I had selected is no longer selected.
Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Thanks for the help.Sorry about that. I'm using Photoshop CS4. There are no layer masks and I'm working over a solid white background (although it's happening in all my files, some of which have multiple layers).
I'm mainly designing DVD sleeves, posters, invites, etc. The layers contain images, live text, vector smart objects, etc. and the problem is happening with all layers, regardless of what it is (text or image).
When I have the mouse directly over whatever it is I want to move and hold the shift key I get the "Could not use..." dialog box. When the mouse is NOT over the image/text, but I have the correct layer selected, I get the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" look, a "dashed" rectangular box wherever I've moved the mouse.
Hope the info is helpful and thanks for responding... -

Hi, I use Windows 7, Photoshop CS5.1 often pops up with "Could not complete [command] because there is not enough memory (RAM)." I have increased my performance preferences to (1451mb) 90%, however I have not restarted Photoshop as I want to try and save the work I have been doing today. I would greatly appreciate any experience in this area and advice as how to work around this problem.
Good day!

i am getting the following message "safari could not download the file (440 MB) because there is not enough disk space. please delete files or download to another disk." when i check system information it tells me i have 249.82 GB of disk space available. any suggestions as to what i can do to resolve this problem.
don
thanks for your suggestion. that is the same advice that i got from the geek squad at the local apple store.
i did what he instructed but it did not work. i have since called apple support twice regarding the problem. they had me start the computer in safe mode, going into the library and deleting a phlist file (i think) do a repair disk permissions, do a repair disk, empty the cache, and finally the last guy told me to unplug the computer from the wall socket and restart.
when i mentioned the advice you and the apple store guy gave me they sort of poo pooed it saying that was done when they did all this other stuff.
i am now waiting for the download to be completed to see if unplugging the computer had any effect.
thanks again for your kindness in answering my concern. -

What operating system are you using?
Is your hard drive running low on free space?
How much free space is left on your hard drive?
Is your scratch disk for photoshop set to the Startup drive or some other drive?

I also have 2 very large scratch disks available (with hundreds of available gigs), including a very fast SSD, and standard 7200 disk. -
Same RAM (max recommended) as before so why do I get this message when I try to optimize an image for web? I've restarted the program and the computer.
How much RAM does your system have? Have you successfully been able to optimize an image for web with your current RAM settings? You could try going to Photoshop > Preferences > Performance and allocating more RAM to Photoshop:

When I try to use the Smart Brush I keep getting this message "Could not use the Smart Brush tool because it is not a valid Photoshop document". Can someone please help me fix this? It's never done this before until now...
First go to the editor preferences>general and click this button, then restart the editor and try again. If that doesn't do it, more info, like your version of PSE and your operating system:

Could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode: Elements 11
I have a PSD file open and I added a new layer via the copy command. I have added a Layer Mask to the new layer and I'm trying to use the Brush Tool with black forground to cover part of the new layer. I'm following an online tutorial step by step, but when I try to use the Brush Tool I get "could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode". The Image>Mode is set to RGB. I'm stuck!
First, show the tools optiond in the bottom of the screen (shortcut F4)
Now look at which of the three options you can select, brush, impressionist brush or replacement tool. I suspect you have to select the brush.
Edit:
The reason of the message is that when you are painting on a mask you are in greyscale mode for the mask. For instance, if you paste a coloured layer into a mask, it will be converted to greyscale. -
Does anyone know if it is possible to get rid of the message 'Could not use the history eraser because the current canvas size does not match that of the history state'?. It comes up if I hit the alt/option key while I have the eraser selected. Something I do by accident all the time.
The way you've described it, one gets the distinct impression you do not have a clue as to what the history brush does and how to use it.
You need to read up on it. Read the Help files and google for tutorials.
First you need to create an image (with actual pixels in it), edit it as desired, then make a snapshot of the edited image, then target the snapshot with the history brush tool, then go back in the History panel to the step before your edits and selectively paint your edits in with the History Brush. -
Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.
Try this:
Open your picture file
Access the clone stamp tool
Hold down the ALT key on the keyboard and left click on the area from which you wish to clone, then release the ALT key, and click to place the pixels at the destination
TIPS:
It is a good idea to open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette, and do the cloning on this layer. Be sure that "sample all layers" at the top is checked. You can change the layer opacity if necessary
Use the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard to increase & decrease the size of the cursor
Let us know how you make out with the error message now.
