Average blur not working

I have a UV map of a banana that is full of trianglesI will be using this on top of my banana to know where to make small triangles and use average blue to create a low poly banana that is unwrapped. So I used the polygon tool to create a small triangle and click average blur to get the yellow colour from banana to uv layout. When I do create a triangle on either the banana or uv and use average blur the colour doesn't actually appear can someone please explain why as well as can someone please tell how I can get the average blur of the banana but not place it on banana instead place it on the uv so it fills the triangle giving me a texture I can import to blender to give colour to my banana model. I do have a feeling it has something to do with masking but I am completely clueless on how to do any of this I am very new, I have tried searching for an hour getting no where I decided to ask here thankyou.

To get your colors correct, your approach may work, but is a lot of extra work....in 3D you simply apply the image to the UV map (the triangle shapes simply show you where the image shape will be); then use the 3D program to let the UV map image wrap around the 3D object....re-read your 3D program instructions/help file on the whole process of applying a UV image map to the 3D model....you extract the UV map, apply the image in Ps, then re-apply the UV map to the model. There are lots of tuts on www; use Google to search for UV mapping process. There are add-on/plug-in UV map tools which also explain/demo the process. Look for UVmapper or similar.
Using your method, you must use the "selection" tool to create a selection (such as a triangle); then apply the average blur effect to get an avg color in that triangle. But if you use the image as a whole, you will have better continuous image colors rather than a whole bunch of colored triangles.
You get a low poly object by creating a low poly model; not by applying an image map....although you can save file sizes by using a lo-resolution image .jpg or .png

Average tool not working right

I have used the average tool since AI8 and I've never had the problem that I'm having now. When I select two points (in a single object) apply vertical average, I'm getting weird results. See below.
Normally, the result will be that the endpoints will line up vertically. I'm thinking I may have accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut (I tend to be a button pusher ). Does any body have any idea on how to fix this issue? I hate having to draw guides just to align... Please help. Thanks in advance!

Thank you guys for your feedback. I don't think i was specific regarding my issue. I've attached a screenshot of a basic shape and what I'm looking for.
Again, I had the tool working in CS4 about a month ago and since then I always get the weird result. It may just be my preference (which I'll delete if all fails) but before I do anything crazy I just want to know if there's another way.
Thanks again for your feedback.

Motion Blur not working in AE CC

Using AE CC on a MacBook Pro, adding motion blur to a fast-moving footage layer in a comp. Both the comp and layer motion blur toggle are on, but no blur is added. Force motion blur has the same non-result.

Make sure the layer is moving. Make sure you are not set to draft. Show us a screenshot and we can probably nail it down in 2 seconds.

Lens blur not working

I've used lens blur in the past with no problems.
Now I'm applying blur to an image and when I press the OKAY button the filter processes but the image returns to its original condition.

Hi Kwill,
Could you try resetting the preferences as mentioned in this post - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5984761?

CS3 Motion Blur not working?

I have a comp that has just a text layer. I've enabled 3D switch for the layer. I added a wiggle expression to its position. I then enabled the motion blur switch. When previewing and/or rendering, I don't see any motion blur at all. I really don't want to use CC Force Motion Blur because it takes too long to render. Does anyone know the reason for this or what it might be? Is there a setting somewhere that I might have disabled so I don't see motion blur?

See
"Use motion blur" for a description of all of the UI items that affect motion blur.

Simple blur filter works on gpu/cpu but not flash

I'm trying to make a new blend mode for Flash that will blur the pixels behind the source image. The filter works correctly when testing with the cpu and gpu, but in Flash the blur effect does not work, it simply crossfades the source image and background image.

Knowing that this also does not work in your flash project helps. As for the ordering problem, I believe the toolkit orders the input images in z-order according to the order in which the inputs are declared in the filter with the frontmost displayed image being the first image declared in the filter. The Flash preview appears to reverse that order. I believe this choice is being made on the Flash runtime side. Kevin may be able to provide more insight. Regardless, it would be nice if the behaviors were identical.

Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be

creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
(note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
just need advise not to share system specs.
and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
it's not to post or share system specs !!!
so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?

Hi,
It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
(Image>Image Size)
If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using?

Iphone 5 camera is not working soon after I downloaded ios7. Camera is frozen and shows a blur picture.

Hi Apple,
Can you tell me if there's a reason for my camera not working on my iphone 5.
Soon after downloading ios7 , the camera's front picture has frozen and shows
blurred picture . The app itself is frozen also , can't bring up photos from photo album .
Also I reset the phone and still the camera is not working .
please advise me as what to do next .

Hi Patoraffo,
I understand that you are having issues with the Camera app functioning, I found the following information that may provide a resolution:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Camera is not functioning
- If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
- If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
- Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
- Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
- Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
- Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
- Try to remain steady while focusing:
- Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
- Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
- If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Blur Tool in CS4 not working

Blue Tool is not working in CS4 have no idea why.
Maybe there is a setting that needs clearing? How to fix?

It's a complex program. Take some time to learn it. The tools do very specific things, but they are just that - tools. You need to learn how to use them well for the program to deliver its value. Photoshop is not a program you can learn to use overnight.
Making a selection then doing a gaussian blur does not blur the entire image. Read what's written carefully, and if you don't understand something, look it up or ask here about it. Someone will probably give step by step instructions:
For example:
1. Activate the Polygonal Lasso tool in the Tools panel.
2. Set the Feather amount to a small value (0 or a few pixels) at the top of the Photoshop main window.
3. Click points all around what you want to blur.
4. Double click or return to the origin point to close the selection.
5. Choose Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur, and dial in the amount of blur you want.
Back to your original post - if you are not seeing screen updates with the Blur tool, it's possible your display driver is failing and you need to update it from the web site of the maker of your display card.

Perfect Portrait Blur, Elements 11 will not Work

Dear PhotoShop Elements gurus,
I am using Elements 11 on Windows 8.
Under the The "Guided" function and "Perfect Portrait", attempt to blur (Apply Smart Blur), the Smart Blur" window pops ups,I click okay, nothing happens.
Any ideas, comments and direction would be much appreciated.
I have used this fuction successfully under Windows 7, and installed the latest patch
Thank You

What is not working. Editor or Organizer. These are two options yo get when you click on PSE icon from desktop which launches Welcome screen.
In case it is Editor try this first
1. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
2. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Thanks,

Good luck and post back.

Install question- blur tool not working and guided option doesn't show a menu

I bought and dowloaded PSE11. However, I don't think I disabled my virusware. It took an especially long time to download and I don't know if it downloaded correctly. My blur tool does not work and my "guided" options are not there. What is the easiest fix- unistall and remove the serial number then reistall using same serial number? My question with this is- how many times can I do this, and or is there an easier fix? I have PSE11 and LR4 and I am going back and forth between which one to use. I really need all the options to work from PSE11. I am not a great IT person so I need the answer in basic easy language to understand please:-)
Thanks

The blur tool doesn't do much under the best of circumstances, so it may be working and just not making enough of a difference to see. However, for the problem with guided edit, reinstalling is probably the easiest solution at this point. Activation is tied to your hardware so you don't need to deactivate PSE if you don't want to, but it won't hurt to deactivate it. There is a limit, but for reinstalls on the same machine it's unlikely you'd ever get there, and if by some chance you did, you just contact activation support to reset things.

Gaussian Blur does not work on Photoshop CS3

Hello,
the last few days the gaussian blur plugin does not work in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Can you tell me what can i do to solve this problem??

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

Yes... remove your finger from the camera lense.

Blur tool not working in elements 11

I tried resetting 11.0 in %appdata% to a new name and then restarted elements. This worked before (several times) but did not work this time. Any thoughts? It seems to be a very fickle tool.
Thanks,

Click in the tools pallet and select your tool, then go to the Tool Options bar at the bottom of the workspace. Click on the dropdown list to the right and choose Reset Tool.
