In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

I Created an adjustment (Curves) layer and did the curves adjustment. Then I did an Edit Fill (Normal Mode, 100% Opacity and Use: Black).
I then try to use the brush tool, but it doesn't work. I've done this hundreds of times before and suddenly it's not working. Rebooted the system, but that didn't help.
I know how to do a screen shot, but it doesn't paste onto this screen. How do I get that to you?
thanks for your help

[Photoshop CC 2014] Click&hold-move-release doesn't work when adding adjustment layer from the layer panel

When selecting a menu item I used to click the left mouse button and hold it down, move the pointer to the desired menu item and release the mouse button. Everything works fine in the mine menu, but there's a problem when adding new adjustment layer from the layer panel: when I release the button nothing happens, I have to press the button again. In previous PS version it worked fine. How can I fix this?

I don't think that is user fixable, meaning you'll have to wait till adobe fixes it with an update.

Brush tool doesn't work

I have just downloaded Photoshop Touch to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is running Android 4.0.4. The brush tool doesn't seem to work. I was wondering if this software is supported on this tablet.

Hi. I'm sorry to hear that you have problems using the brush tool. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce – see my attached screenshot.
When you compare the attached screenshot with the result on your device what difference are you seeing?

Extractions, refine edge, using the brush tool doesn't work on iMac but does on MacBookPro

When in the refine edge interface the brush tool will not work on my iMac but will on the MacBookPro. I haven't reloaded the program yet as I don't want to loose my plugins. Will they stay in tacked? Does anyone know how to fix this? Frustrated that Adobe won't help because I haven't the latest and greatest!!

Paint brush tool doesn't work with my Wacom tablet

My new pen tablet works well except when I try to use the paint brush tool. I was using NIK Color effects pro plug in and when I select the paint brush mode it didn't work. So I just tied the paint brush tool without going thru NIK and it still didn't work with the pen tablet. There must be something I haven't set correctly but can't figure it out.
Other tools work just fine such as the patch tool, etc. Any ideas?

try reseting the paint brush and download the newest driver from Wacom

Photoshope Elements when selecting an action, the paint brush tool doesn't work and system keeps freezing, then catching up every 30-45 seconds

I have been having this problem with elements ever since the last OS upgrade, but it wasn't all the time and it wasn't very bad. Now, I have upgraded my macbook again, and I cannot even edit a photo!! I open the photo, choose an action, say "smooth skin", then choose the paint brush, I start to "paint" over their face and it won't paint a line, I have to keep clicking it, click - it paints, move brush, click again - it paints. Plus, every time I choose a tool or an action, it freezes for about 10 seconds, then catches up to what I am doing, 30 seconds later, it freezes again. HELP!! I have 8 sessions to finish editing by this weekend!! I just want to cry!!

Photoshop CS3 Crop Tool Doesn't Work

Does everyone's crop tool work correctly in PS CS3? Mine doesn't and I wasn't sure if this is a flaw in the software.
ND

I just ran into a crop problem, too. I've been using the demo CS3 for about 25 days with no serious problems, on a Macbook Pro. I have a file with 2 layers (background and background copy). I tried to crop the image, with the background copy layer highlighted. When I do, the whole screen goes black (as if I have cropped the whole image into nothingness). The tiny thumbnails on the layers don't show an image, but two squares (2 halves of the thumbnail) of faded colors. I opened a completely different image, and tried cropping that, and I get the same result! I double checked and I am not cropping to any weird size or resolution. This seems like a big bug, if it is a bug!

Brush Tool is not working with Layer Mask

Working with Windows platform, using Photoshop CS4, Brush Tool is not working with Layer Mask, how can I resolve this challenge?

Also, do you have any Selections active - maybe hidden?
When you have your Layer Mask's Channel active, do your Colors change to black and white?
Good luck,

Have downloaded CC photoshop and brush tool not working

Hi, I have downloaded PS and the brush tool does not work. I downloaded PS last week and set up a watermark to use on my photos using the define brush preset. It wouldnt work,so i googled a heap of things to try and nothing worked.I made sure opacity was 100% and also that i was on a layer and nothing worked, I have just uninstalled and reinstalled and went to a new PSD and the brush still doesnt work.Please help, it is really frustrating. Here is a screen shot if that helps. Thanks

You have the History Brush selected. Normal brush is two icons up the tool bar.

Eyedropper tool doesn't work in Index Mode

When I am in Index mode, and I bring up the color table, the eyedropper tool doesn't work unless I right-click and choose one of the point sample averages. And even then, it doesn't always work unless I hit some combination of Shift-control-option-command. I'm still not sure what the combination is since it seems to differ a little depending on Photoshop's mood.
I can remember there was this problem a couple of versions back, and Adobe fixed it after about a year or so.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks, Chuck

Thanks for the temporary solution. The is the same bug was in CS3 then fixed ic CS4. Now it's back in CS5.
I've only had this bug with Macs not PCs. "YES IT'S A BUG!" Question: Is there anybody from Adobe who reads this? Can someone at adobe please tell us when this Mac bug will be fixed? For a premium product at such a price, Photoshop shouldn't have a bug like this. Adobe should be more responsive! Think of the difficulty people like me who write textbooks must have. To give one technique for a PC and then a workaround technique for a MAC. I implore anyone who is experiencing this problem to contact Adobe & let them know about it! Here's a link to their bug report page. https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform Thanks everyone (for letting me vent). Frederick

PEN TOOL DOESN'T WORK ANY MORE after PS 2014.2 update!

I just downloaded the latest Photoshop update. Pretty slick......adjustable fonts in the dropdown menus again.....nice guide improvements. One little problem....THE PEN TOOL DOESN'T WORK ANY MORE. The program is totally useless. What the h%+l is wrong with adobe? At least I can still use Photoshop CC. Anyone got a fix for this?

CS6 stamp tool doesn't work with action / record ( tool record is enabled ) other tools works

CS6 stamp tool doesn't work with action / record ( tool record is enabled ) other tools works

At one time tool recording was not possible and if you install Adobe Scriptlistener Plug-in Adobe will disable tool recording its never an option.
I use and record actions all the time and was looking forward to tool recording when Adobe announced it. However I found what they delivered was of very limited value because of the restrictions. I do not care that Adobe disables tool recording on my machine.
The amount of data that gets reordered seems also vary between machines. I found that Action recorded on fast machine are not usable on slow machine. Fast machine recorder too much data.
Documents you use such action on must also have the same size and resolution as the document you recorded the action on. Quite a restriction.
You problem may also be foxed in CC 2014 sett here Photoshop CS6 - Recording the clone tool in an action gives incorrect results on replay.

Red Eye Tool doesn't work in ACR 4.1

The Red Eye tool doesn't work on my computer in Camera Raw 4.1/Bridge. When I choose it, the Pupil Size and Darken sliders appear but nothing happens when you try a correction. If I open the same image in Photoshop CS3, the Red Eye control works fine. How can I get it to work in in ACR?

Ramon is right. Best to select the whole eye (even eyebrow) and you'll get the overlay box around the red. If it doesn't entirely cover the red (or if it box bounds some reddish eyelids) you can click and drag to widen(lessen) or lengthen the box and change the 'pupil size'. And so far I haven't found any, even bright, redeyes where the 'darken' control won't get a good dark result. [Animals (green/yellow eyes) are a different story.] Sometimes going too dark will also darken the irises. With the 'show overlay' unchecked you can drag the 'fix' off the eye onto the cheek to see the pattern - dark in the center and then a gradient fade of dark going out from center. "Clear all" clears all of course and you can start over.
