Adobe Photoshop CS6 weird hangup issues with paintbrush

Hello All,
I've been an extremely happy user of Photoshop CS6 x64 on my windows machine since it was released. None of the existing bugs had any effect on me and i was happy as a clam.
Until about two weeks ago. Some update was released and i downloaded and installed it.
Now suddenly, when i'm retouching photographs, using masks and the paintbrush to fill, the mouse hangs. Often. Just gets stuck in position and i have to wait for a second or two to get it back.Also happens with the clone stamp. It's like a delay has been added to the controls. No other way to explain it.
No other hardware of software changes on my machine at all. Just the Photoshop Update. I'm running version 13.0.1 on x64 windows. Have plenty of ram and plenty of CPU.
Anyone else experiencing this, with the latest update in particular? The paint brush, clone tool and healing brush controls used to be much more responsive.

i mean creating a layer mask and painting it back in with the paintbrush.
Yes that is normal.  I have no problem with CS6, No lag or hesitation.
A tip for you if your creating the mask using a copy of a color channel. Set the brush blending mode to "Overlay" This will protect the mask Black and White areas. You will only be able yo paint in gray areas of the mask.   When areas turn 0,0,0 Black or 255,255,255 White they become protected too. Use a Wacom tablet soft brush low opacity and many strokes

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 100% Zoom Issue

    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Version 13.0.6 x64
    OS X Yosemite Version 10.10
    100% Zoom is very tiny on my screen. How do I fix?

    An Images dpi setting has nothing to do with it.  Its all about the number of pixels you have.    Image for the web have fewer pixels.  It does not matter it you set the image DPI resolution is 72, 300 or any other value when you don't resample the number of pixels remain the same.  When you display actual pixels 100% zoom an image with 10K pixels with a 300dpi is the same 10K pixel image with a 72dpi resolution setting.  Printers will use the images dpi setting to adjust pixel size.  Displays do not they are run at their native DPI resolution whatever that is.  So a 10K pixel image with a 72DPI setting and a 10K pixels image with a 300DPI setting will be displayed as a 10K pixel image at the displays dpi resolution.
    DPI defines Pixel size pixel density  300DPI means 90000 square pixels per inch  so the pixel size would be 1/300" x 1/300".  72DPI means 5184 pixels per square inch so pixel size is 1/72" x 1/72"
    So if you have an image with 7200px x 7200px and set the dpi tp 72DPI and print it will print 100" x 100" do know of a printer the cal handle 100" paper
    So if you have an image with 7200px x 7200px and set the dpi tp 300DPI and print it will print 24" x 24" you need a large form printer that can handle 24" wide paper
    This image can not be displayed on a display zoomed to 100% only part of the image will fit you will need to scroll about the image. Unless you have a 34" display with a square aspect ratio with a 300DPI native resolution that I don't know about.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Activation Issue

    After installing Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended with the Serial Number, it became Trial version. Telling me to insert Serial Number every so often. Any Solution?

  • Photoshop CS6 file permissions issue with file created with Photoshop CC

    In our studio we have several capture stations and work stations all connected to one file server. An issue occurs when a user of CC creates a file and saves it to the server and a user of CS6 opens the file. The CS6 user cannot save the changes he just made to the file that was created in CC. The CS6 user can do a Save As with no issue. There is also NO problem if the file that was created in CC is transferred to a new drive using the Finder in Mac OS X.
    Has anyone else had a similar issue or know of a solution?
    Here is a screen cap of the error:

    We have solved our issue.
    After running Adobe updates on machine that uses CS6 and then re-starting that machine, our issue seems to have disappeared.
    Hope this helps others.
    Best of luck.

  • Adobe Photoshop cs6 over citrix, Image Issue

    HI Guys,
    I am Citrix Tech, could you please help or suggest me in get this issue sorted. we have published Adobe Photoshop CS6 over Citrix which uses ICA protocol. When user launches the application and opens a image it loads with Blue coat color over the image.

    As of now Citrix have advised to have Citrix Roll pack 05 to be installed.
    Will update if that fixes

  • 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?

  • Downloading Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended License with no internet connection

    My office needs to purchase four (4) Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Licenses for four separate/independent computers.  These computers in no way can access the internet to download.
    I am told by resellers that CD disks are not available for the download, is this correct?
    Also, the resellers are telling me that I can purchase a media kit for the download.  My question is can 1 media kit complete all four downloads or would I be required to purchase 4 media kits.  We are receiving different responses from the resellers we have contacted.
    Appreciate your time,
    Stephanie Murphree
    Contracting Officer

    You can download and burn the trial of Photoshop CS6 to disc or you can purchase one physical copy of the software.  The installer does not count how many times you install.  The serial number you receive with your purchase is what allows you to license and utilize your software.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 won't run, problem with Application Manager

    I've now got three Adobo Photoshop CS products on my MacBook Pro, the latest is CS6 which won't run.
    I own Photoshop CS3, I just happen to install the CS5.x suite today, which runs during the trial period (30 day, today is day #1).
    I then see that PSCS6 is out so I install that and get an error dialog.
    Adobe Photoshop CS6
    Adobe Application Manager, required to verify your license, is missing or damaged.
    Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager.
    I go to that URL, run the new application manager and get that same dialog box when I try to run CS6.
    When I did the CS6b install it asked for my Adobe ID/password and I entered that and the install completed. So I'm not sure what's going on.

    Hi, Using OSX Lion...was getting the same AAM errors.
    I hope my "fix" is of help:
    During one installation attempt I noticed that it was using an Adobe Application Manager here:
    ~User/Applications/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
    It is version 6.0.236.0 and the installer deletes it after the install. The download page only has version 2.
    So during my last install attempt, I grabbed a copy of that OOBE directory -- to catch the support files -- before deletion.
    Did not work in user Applications folder, but when I copied it in the location of AAM 2, it works.
    The full location is as follows (I renamed the original OOBE folder as a back-up):
    HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
    Authorization works, and software update seems to...however, uninstall can't use this method.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 provides no engine for debugging

    Hello,
    I've been trying to diagnose a problem with my wife's copy of CS6 Web and Design premium. Basically it's unable to run any JSX script that requires the Debug engine. I receive the error message 'Adobe Photoshop CS6 provides no engine for debugging' - trying it on Illustrator also gives a similar error. Persisting by clicking the 'play' button brings up a popup error message that says 'Unable to Run Script' or something similar.
    Note that if I hack our JSX script to bypass the debug engine it works fine - except certain PSDs will cause CS6 (and my older copy of CS4) to crash, so this is only a stopgap measure. Disabling OpenGL on CS4 seems to prevent crashing but it's not an option on the wife's copy since she's a full-time artist and I'm not.
    This is what I've had to change -
    $.level = 2;    // debug level: 0-2 (0:disable, 1:break on error, 2:break at beginning)
    debugger;        // launch debugger on next line
    Changing the $.level = 0 lets me continue without issue.
    This problem does NOT exist on my laptop using the same installer downloaded from Adobe.com. (I use trial version for testing, she uses her serial no.)
    Is it possible this problem persists because I uninstalled an old copy of Photoshop CS5 (standalone installation) AFTER installing CS6 Web & Design (multiple programs)?
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS6, but the problem persists.
    Please help, our jobs rely on this. >.<
    Worst case scenario I'll copy the entire install folder over from my laptop to try and fix the problem but I'd rather not have to since we're currently working in different countries and I can only use Remote Assistance to help.

    The problem is the SCRIPTS work - the debugging engine is what's missing for some reason. Even if there's a way to just cleanly uninstall everything so I can start from scratch without formatting the hard disk would be a good solution. (since apparently I think I missed some files somewhere on the last uninstall)

  • LR4 Problem: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched.

    Is there a fix for this?  When I try to edit an image in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 (CTRL+E), Photoshop CS6 launches immediately but with no image.  In Lightroom 4, after about two minutes, the message box appears saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched."  When I click OK, the image promptly opens in Photoshop CS6 like normal.  This wan an itermittent issue for me after the LR4.1 release.  I was hoping that LR4.2 would help, but now I get the error every time.
    System
    Lightroom 4.2 x64
    Photoshop CS6 v13.0.1 x64
    Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64
    Windows 7 Pro x64
    AMD Six Core / 3.9 Ghz
    16 GB Memory
    NVidia Quadro 1 Gb Video
    Scratch space on three drives

    This may be a cooincidence, I starting having problems after I started using a Nikon D800, which has 36MP files.  LR4 released at the same time as the D800.  LR4 shows signs of struggling with the larger files, which are typically 280MB TIFFs for the D800, like freezing for several seconds when using an adjustment brush or going into a spasm with the crop tool.  Because Photoshop does not have similar large file issues, I'm doing more basic work in Photoshop, like cropping, dodge and burn, exposure adjustment, etc.
    Because Photoshop otherwise runs fine, and appears to read all the prefernes properly mid-issue, to get a better idea of what's going on, I turned on Process Monitor from Technet. For what it's worth, LR4 appears to touch the Photoshop preferences before it launches Photoshop.  LR4 must have a memory leak in that corrupts the Photoshop preferences file in a way that makes no difference to Photoshop.
    My weekend project is to try Capture One to see if I can spend more time on photography and less troubleshooting Adobe problems.  As it stands, LR4 is not usable for me.
