Blur Tool - Does it Work?

Nothing seems to happen when, under the Dodge and Burn editing tool, I use the blur option.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a tool that hasn't been fully implemented yet?

I just tested it, and the effect was so slight that it could only be seen at 100%. (Same with sharpen.)
I vote no: it doesn't work.

Elements 10 the blur tool does not work

The blur tool does not work at all.
How do you activate this feature.

First try to reset "All Tools" by clicking on the down-arrow icon as shown in this picture:
Look at the top left corner high-lighted in red box (if you can't see the picture then click on it to magnigy).
Good luck and post back.

My Blur Tool is not working.

Ive reset all tools, and still no luck, I cannot retouch skin without the Blur... is there anything short of uninstalling and reinstalling I can do?
anyone that can help can reply to me personally at [email protected] please.

Brush over some things that are sharp to ensure the effect isn't just to subtle to see on skin.
Please post a screen grab showing the entire state of Photoshop at the moment it refuses to work.
While it sounds like you have many things set right, given the sheer number of modal things that you can accidentally change and leave set in Photoshop that would cause a tool to appear not to function, there's always the possibility you've still got something set wrong. A screen grab would help folks here see what you're doing more clearly.
Also, what are the specific brush settings for the Blur Tool? DO you have any of the dynamics turned on?
Are you working on the appropriate layer? Have the layer pixels selected, and not the mask?
Got something selected elsewhere?
Implied here is that the Blur Tool does work - I just tested it. I also don't recall anyone else here on the forum in recent history claim the Blur Tool doesn't function.

For Acrobat 9. TouchUp Text tool does not work.

Acrobat 9. TouchUp text tool does not work --- even on documents created with my computer using installed fonts. Problem 2: when trying to export to Word 2010 there is no option for format .dox, only .doc which belonged to earlier versions of Word.

Hi Begin,
I have the same issue, I am not sure which version so I had on my old computer but when I got a new windows 7 64bit, and asked IT to install Adobe, my life turned upside down. now they asked if I need X or 9pro and I though 9pro is the latest and greatest.. they installed the standard first then could not edit then asked for the pro and could not edit ... now I search and maybe version X will edit but if the document is signed and we do need to do lots of editing after the signature then what is the solution??
I hope the Guru in Adobe can help here soon please :-)!!

When i paint either black or white on layer mask it erases picture pixels also path selection tool does not work

I would try resetting your preference file first: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14226-Resetting-(or-Trashing-)-the-Lightroom -Preferences-file
Also, install the latest version 4.4.1 would probably be a good idea.

I have a comment. I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool. I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face. This tool does not work. It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple. How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.

Clone Stamp Tool does not work

This is a re-post of an old problem. Using PS CS4 Extended v. 11.0.2 in Win XP SP3.
The clone stamp tool does not alter my image. After selecting source region, cursor hovers over the target region and the preview looks like what one would expect. After clicking, however, the desired change does not occur.
Uninstalled PS and reinstalled. Clone stamp worked for a while, then quit working again.
Image seems to be OK, in that I can open it on my Laptop with CS3 on Win Vista, do my cloning, save and all works fine.
Any ideas appreciated. I may uninstall and reinstall again, but if I do, would like some ideas of what I should monitor as I go through my work process.

The second method worked. Many thanks.
To avoid this happening again, would appreciate any idea on what to look for in my Preferences.
Glad it fixed it.
When the preferences get corrupted it is not due to a wrong setting. One of the files has been damagrd. This is a known problem with computers not just Photoshop.
It can be caused by incorrect shut-downs, hard drive faults, or a dozen other reasons. Deleting the preferences just lets Photoshop generate a fresh set at factory default.
Make sure you check through to get your personal settings back and then save a copy.

Selection Tool does not work

Hi, everyone, I noticed that the Selection tool (V) does not work properly, I use Ai CS3, and I can`t resize,move or select any object or text, Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot

Sounds like "Preferences>Selection & Anchor Display>Object Selection by Path only" is on.

CS3 Free Transform Tool does not work at all for distortion

I tried everything, worked with vector objects of different configurations and rasterized objects. Nothing works. When I press Free Transform Tool and go to bounding box corner it become rotate or resize tool. When I click a little bit inside the bounding box and hold Command Key (I tried many keys and without keys) it just moves the whole object, it did not select just one point that I need. Envelope Mesh does not work for the same reason, but I do not need mesh tool. I have Illustrator 13.02, Mac OS 10.4.11
The Free Transform Tool functions exactly as the main selection tool. Please help.

I STILL cannot get this to work. I have tried everything suggested in this thread. I have followed the directions in the help menus explicitly. I have tried grouping, ungrouping. I have tried it on type, on type changed to outlines, on simple rectangles. Without success.
When I try to use the free transform tool and hover over a corner of the bounding box, I get either a double-headed corner arrow, a rotation arrow, or a move arrow. Using the first two, dragging the point and then holding down the control/command key results only in a scaling of the object.
Should I restart? Should I re-install? What should I do?
Best,
Fielden

The site reporter tool does not work

There is an item in Firefox Help where you can report a Web site that does not work. Originally, a report database was available on line and you could review existing submissions. The database access site was officially [http://blog.mozilla.com/website-archive/2010/12/08/mozilla-reporter/ retired] and the data gathered were expurgated and dumped for everybody to download. It is 1.3 GB uncompressed; install with { gzcat | mysql mozrep; } to avoid doubling the space.
The [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu%20Reference#w_report-broken-web-sitead site reporter tool] does not seem to work any more. It just submits the report forever. It seems that Mozilla has broken functionality in a supported browser, disregarding all users. The original reporter site redirects to a new feedback site. The problem with that site is that you have to install version 4 beta to use it, which is not nice at all. To add exploitation to disrespect, Mozilla tries to turn all customers into beta testers.

Hi there
Sorry, but you need to give us more information. For starters, you *ARE* using Adobe Captivate, right? And what exactly are you trying to do where you are seeing the eyedropper isn't working? Can you post a screen capture or a small video recording of it? You can use Jing http://www.jingproject.com or maybe Screenr http://www.screenr.com.
Cheers... Rick

Select tool does not work

Select tool has quit working. Click on it and the snap shot tool appears. All other tools work fine. Uninstalled and reinstalled reader but problem remains.

The Selext Tool works only on actual text; on a scanned document when it has been treated with OCR.
Or does the same thing happen when you do it on a text document like http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

[SOLVED] OSCDIMG Tool Does Not Work on Windows 10? ReadFile() fails with error code 87. (The parameter is incorrect) on ReFS Storage Space Mirror

Hello,
What could be the reason of OSCDIMG premastering tool not working in Windows 10?
I'm trying to rebuild ISO from the admin setup point and having problems with OSCDIMG failing to read files from the master folder:
E:\Images>bin\oscdimg.exe -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"D:\ISOFOLDER\boot\etfsboot.com"#pEF,e,b"D:\ISOFOLDER\efi\Microsoft\boot\efisys.bin" -o -h -m -u2 -udfver102 -lwinsetup D:\ISOFOLDER test.iso

Thank you.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Figured it myself.
For some reason, the tool does NOT support source locations on ReFS formatted drives. Move the D:\ISOFOLDER location to NTFS formatted drive, and the tool works flawless:
E:\Images>bin\oscdimg.exe -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"D:\ISOFOLDER\boot\etfsboot.com"#pEF,e,b"D:\ISOFOLDER\efi\Microsoft\boot\efisys.bin" -o -h -m -u2 -udfver102 -lwinsetup D:\ISOFOLDER D:\TEMP\test.iso

"Pick a Color" tool does not work

Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite the "Pick a Color" tool for color fills/matches in Microsoft Word for Mac does not match the color picked.

Hi Jehanzeb,
In chart expert there is a tab "Color Highlightsu201D. In this tab one can specify the condition based coloring.
In my case I want to show "RED" color for Unauthorized events andu201D GREEN" color for Authorized Events.
While creating a report suppose I am using a database server "DB-A".I set the color highlights in the chart as I explained. Please be noted that when we click on the color highlights tab it asks for the database login.
To view the report we have our own server and we are using JRC APIs.
Hence I map my report with server and try to view the Report. My Server is connected with database "DB-B" which is different from the database I used to create the report.
This time color Highlight I have specified while creating the report does not work.
I have tried using the "Format Series Riser" option. But the problem with this is that, it does not color the chart conditionally.
I mean if I give GREEN for Authorized and RED for Unauthorized. It gives the green color either to Authorized or Unauthorized which so ever occur first in the chart.
For example:-suppose there is no Authorized Event on date 15-Jan-2009 and I select the date range starting from 15-Jan.In this case Unauthorized event is the first to print on the chart hence this event get the green color though I expect this events to be in RED color.

Amrita

Blur Tool doesn't work properly in Photoshop CS6

I like digital painting and just got a new Wacom Intuos. I wanted to finish a picture in PS C6 but everytime I use the blur tool it makes some weird edges, which it didn't make before!
How can I fix it?

The Layer seems to be empty and you don’t have »Sample All Layers« checked, so that seems strange.
Another point, though: Why not apply the Layer Mask to the Group instead of applying it to each Layer individually?

Touchup Tool does not work with PDF

I am creating my own pdfs and when I open in acrobat pro I cannot select my text using the touchup text tool. I can select the text when I am just using a cursor, but the touchup text tool cannot seem to find it. The pdfs I am creating are very simple, but they work for everything I need them to work for except the touchup tool. Is there some coding I have to put in to make the text editable? Thanks for any help.

It does not say anything about about the pdf being broken when I open it in acrobat, where is the problem with it? I have a program that created this pdf file so I do not know how to fix it if it is broken.
