Photoshop CS6 Windows version Shortcuts

Hi
I am using Windows 7 OS, running Photoshop CS6 standard 64 Bit, 12GB RAM, dual XEON 2.6ghz processors
I am experiencing problems with shortcuts. I also experienced the issues when using the Release candidate. I was hoping someone may be able to offer some advice
The issues I have:
The shortcuts will work intermittently and appear to be effected when using the layers palette. The issue relates to  things like pressing the J for clone or B for brush. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont. Other times I get a chime noise/beep sounding when pressing the [ ] keys to increase the brush size. the brush will increase/decrease. The fix is normally to select the tool with the mouse and all is well for a while
I seem to have found a pattern when this occurs - and is when I have been using the layers pallete. An issue I can reproduce.
For example I duplicate a layer, then select the new layer - add a blending mode then click on the new layer, old layer and try the merge shortcut - nothing happens. Sometimes I get the chime noise aswell but still no merge.
If I click off the layers palette and then attempt the above - the merge works perfectly.
Equally if I attempt the merge of the layers without first clicking off the layers, and try to select say B (brush) I get the chime and the tool is not selected. Other times no chime and the tool is not selected. Again using the mouse to select it works ok
What was an inconvenience is a real pain now, as I am slowing down to do the click off layers trick or double checking the tool is the correct one I am trying to use.
Things Ive tried/figured out:
Ive ensured the kit Im running is technically sound and is not being created by a performance issue.
I can reproduce this fault on different computers (all windows)
I have tried resetting the workspace and removing all but the layers pallete, but the issue remains
Ive even replaced the keyboard!! Even though the keyboard only has an issue in photoshop.
When running CS5 I did not have this issue, but the RC and the final version of CS6 displays this feature
Ive closed all apps, with the exception of CS6 photoshop to work out if is was an incompatibility - feature remains
Seems to be related to using the layers palette, when not using the palette - I very rearely get the problem.
any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Neil

Thanks for your reply Noel.
I think you are onto something here with the Alt key. On checking when the chime occurs, the menu's are in focus and awaiting some inpout. So that explains that one. Many thanks - something very simple in the end but I completely missed it.
Ive still have the oddness with the layer palette though. Do you have any feedback on that one? This is the part where I must click off the layers and reselect them to merge. I can now reproduce this without the chime!!
What happens is if I duplicate a layer then select the another layer I want to merge. The shortcut for the merge doesnt work. But if I click off and then select the same layers again - the shortcut will work?
many thanks for your help again
The graphics card I'm using is:
NVIDIA GEForce, GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
I updated the driver about 4 weeks ago, I'll check if there is a latest version of it to try.

  • Cannot use photoshop cs6 try version

    I'm using Window 7 Pro 64 bit, processor: Intel Core i7. Download Photoshop cs6 try version, error message appears: Load library failed with 126. The specific module could not be founded.
    Another problem is that I can not use oilpaint filter. It said this feature requires graphic processor acceleration , please check the performace prefernce and verify that " Use Graphic Processor" is enabled.
    When I go  to preference check box, it is inactive and I could not do anything with this option.
    Please help me solve these problem.
    Thanks.

    It means what it says: Update your graphics driver and check the relevant options in the prefs. There'S no way around that. If all you have is the built-in intel graphics, then it's quite possible you may never be able to use some features because OpenGL is not avialable... refer to the system requirements for the program.

  • Is there any way I can download Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial version with my processor?

    Hi, I do need to work on something with photoshop. I downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS6 trial version, the installation was fine, but
    when I clicked on photoshop icon, a massage comes up, saying "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS6, becase it is not supported on
    this type of Mac"
    I found information from here: http://www.adobe.com/au/products/photoshop/tech-specs.edu.html
    Photoshop CS6 requires multicore intel processor with 64-bit support,
    I guess mine isn't enough for this? I am using
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    processor 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
    Memory 2 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM
    I tried to download another versions but, 10.6.8 only goes with CS6.
    So is there any way I can get photoshop in this situation?? I really need to do something by using it!!!!

    Not the most helpful error message from the installer?  No details on why the system was rejected?  That's something I'd consider to be some amateur-level programming in the installer.
    You don't have a 64-bit processor.  Intel Core series is 32-bit.  Intel Core 2 series (and later) is 64-bit.
    Depending on what you're looking to do, try Acorn from Flying Meat?

    Bonjour, quand j'utilise mon adobe photoshop cs6 extended (Version Adobe Photoshop : 13.0.6 (13.0.6 20131025.r.54 2013/10/25:21:00:00) x64) notamment avec les calques, le clavier de mon Mac Book Pro ( osx 10,9,5 - 2,64 GHZ intel core i7 -8GO  1333 MHTZ ) se bloque. Je suis obligé d'enregistrer ce que je fais dans le texte pré inscrit, puis de rouvrir pour enregistrer dans la rubrique et dans les termes voulu.
    Merci de m'indiquer comment résoudre ce problème.

    Bonjour! Oui: il faudrait essayer de réinitialiser les préférences, en maintenant CTRL+SHIFT+ALT dès que l'on démarre Photoshop, ce qui supprime le fichier des préférence et le remplace par un nouveau. On doit alors obtenir un message qui demande si on veut recréer les préférences.
    La réinstallation ne remplace pas ce fichier, et c'est lui qui peut être corrompu lors d'un arret fatal de la machine.
    On peut le remplacer manuellement, en suivant les instructions de ce document remplacer évidemment CS5 par CS6: http://helpx.adobe.com/fr/photoshop/kb/preference-file-functions-names-locations.html
    Les pilotes des cartes graphiques datent de Janvier. Y-a-t-il des mises à jour disponibles?
    De même, Photoshop n'est pas dans sa version 13.0.1.1 il convient de se rendre dans Aide>Mises à Jour

    I have Photoshop CS6, Windows 7, I have no entry at the accesscode. When i will write the code into the nummeric fields. I can write only numbers, but no letters. What can I do?

    If you are talking about the serial number, as far as I know serial numbers are entirely numeric so there is no need to enter letters.  Maybe you are using the incorrect code.

  • (Photoshop CS6 Windows)UIが全体的に崩れている

    Photoshop CS6 の Windows 版を利用しています。
    UI が突然崩れて表示されるようになってしまいました。
    直前に行った操作は Windows Update ぐらいしか思い当たることがありません。
    Windows 自体の再起動をしても改善されません。
    Photoshop の再インストールぐらいしか手がないのでしょうか?

    ご回答ありがとうございます。
    ご指摘いただいた通り、MacType を使用しておりますが、除外設定や無効にしても解消しませんでした。
    また、スプラッシュ画面が下記のようになっており、フォントの読み込みがほとんど行われなかったため、フォントキャッシュの再構築を試みましたがこれも解決には至りませんでした。
    本体画面の方は下記のようになっています。
    オプションバーのあたりがつぶれていますが、一方でメニューは問題なく表示されています。
    Photoshop 側で、自動でサイズ調整される文字列が正しくサイズ取得されていない、またはサイズ設定されていないように見えます。

  • Photoshop CS6 (student version) - AppStore?

    Hello,
    I got a coupon for the appStore and I want to buy Photoshop CS6 (student version) but I cannot find it in the Mac AppStore. Is it possible, that I purchase it there (and am I just to blind to find it) or is it impossible to buy it there?
    Thank you!

    Adobe hasn't made a MAS version of that app.
    PS Elelments is the closest you will get and the MAS version is less capable than the version Adobe sells on their site.

    Hi ,
    This is a known issue, The workaround for the same is to create a folder 'Templates' at
    >'<Windows drive>:\Users\<current user login>id>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\'
    Then try installing PS again it should work.
