"Brush in" not working

Local adjustments suddenly stopped working on my new mac mini. "Brush in" simply doesn't do anything at all. But strangely "Brush away" works ok.
Same with retouch and clone adjustments. Number of strokes is increasing, but nothing is happening with the image.
I tried to rebuild library, reinstall Aperture, delete preferences and caches, repaire disc permissions, still having the problem. It doesn't work with latest version, nor the 3.1 trial version.
Everything works fine, including "brush in" on my other mac with the same library and Aperture install.
Any help is appreciated.

EDIT:
the only local adjustments working appears to be "brush away", but only on default setting. As soon as I tick the "detect edges", or change the "brush range" to anything other than "all", it doesn't work.

  • Brush function not working correctly PS Elements 11 for Mac

    The brush is not working correctly in that I cannot drag the brush.  It allows only spot healing, not dragging the brush.  Didn't use to have this problem.  Now do.  Not sure what has changed.  Thank you!

    Is this happening after upgrading to Yosemite?
    If yes, please see:

  • CS5 - Mixer Brush - Wetness not working properly

    Hi,
    I'm using the trial version of Photoshop CS5 Extended.
    I'm very excited about the new Bristle Brushes and the Mixer Brush. I think, a nice job was done on these features. However, I think the "wetness" attribute of the Mixer brush is not working as it is intended. I would expect that low setting of wetness would cause the brush to interact less with the underlying color. At the moment, when set to 0% wetness, the Mixer Brush does not interact at all with the underlying color but at 1% wetness it fully interacts with the canvas. There is no perceivable difference between 1%, 50% or 100% wetness. I think this should be fixed in order to enable the full power of the Mixer Brush.
    Apart from that, the new brushes are just awesome. It is the most haptic and expressive brush engine I've ever used.
    Thanks,
    DanieL

    This seems to be a problem with the Bristle Brushes only and is quite annoying considering that the Bristle Brushes are practically made for the Mixer Brush.  Other brushes seem to use the Wetness slider just fine.  Here's an example:
    I hope Adobe fixes this in a patch.

    That sounds like it is working, Tony - remember that once you've painted where you want the effect of the brush to apply, you need to adjust the brush parameters, which all start off zeroed.
    If you want to see where you've applied the brush, press the (letter) "O".

  • The brush do not work sometimes without a reason.

    Sometime without a reason (I mean I cant find one) the brush do not work (it appears the symbol when you are not able to use a tool), to solve the problem I copy and paste everything on a new document, but it is very messy, what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi thank you for the answer,
    can you be a little more specific? How can I solve this?
    I have not understand this:
    The brush tool will only work when there's a brush present in the brushes panel ("Basic" doesn't count as a brush)

  • Local Adjustment Brush does not work in Windows 7, 64-bit

    All other tools and functions work OK.  My issue is just with the Adjustment Brush;  The Adjustment Panel opens when the brush is selected and the brush moves, but none of the adjustments are applied to the image.  The problem is clearly related to the new operating system.  This was just confirmed, by removing the hard drive with the Windows 7, 64-bit OS,  and inserting an old hard drive with Windows Vista, 32-bit installed. The adjustment brush works fine with the old OS and the same version of PS.
    My normal monitor resolution is 1920 x 1200 with a DPI of 151; however, this DPI is not compatible with PS, so I reset it to 149 evey time I use PS.  Lower screen resolutions and DPI settings don't resolve the problem. I mention this only because of a previous cursor problem that was resolved by changing the DPI.
    I'm using CS4 with Camera Raw version 5.6.  Version 5.5 also does not work.
    Can anyone offer suggestions?

    Problem solved.  One of the recent upgrades to Camera Raw reset the flow rate to zero, which I did not notice until after posting the message.
    Sorry for the error.

  • Have downloaded CC photoshop and brush tool not working

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.

  • Brush tool not working on mask.....

    Can't seem to get brush tool to work on mask.
    Duplicated a layer and applied multiply blend mode. Don't want effect of blend mode on entire image but can't get the brush tool to work on mask. I have made sure than I am working on the mask and not the image itself. Exposure is at 100% and have tried it with shadows, midtones and highlights. I'm probably overlooking something that is fairly obvious but can't figure it out. Any one know what I'm doing wrong?

    yes, you are, that's not the Brush tool, you are using either the Burn or Dodge tool. The Brush tool is higher up in the Tools panel:

  • Smart Brush Tool - Not working

    I can't use the smart brush tool (either for blue skies, whiten teeth etc.).  The following message comes up when I select the brush:  COULD NOT USE THE SMART BRUSH TOOL BECAUSE NO ADJUSTMENT WAS SELECTED.  Is this an installation issue?
    Note: when I select the brush, no menu pops up...nor does one appear in the top menu bar

    Try these steps:
    Quit PSE, then go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist (and the renamed copy)
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Settings
    Now go to your hard drive>library>application support>adobe>Photoshop Elements>9.0>locale>en_US (or your location) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. (Note that you have 3 library folders: the one under your username where you deleted the prefs, one in System>library, and one at the top level of your hard drive. For this you want the last one.
    Repair permissions and relaunch the editor, but don't do anything till you see the icons reappear in the effects panel.

I came to the form and read that my NVidia display drivers so I did that and now I a brush there that will not change. Has someone else had this problem that can help me.

    Try hitting the Caps Lock key.  That toggles the precision vs. brush size cursor.

  • Brush/pencil not working in Photoshop

    My brush/pencil tool isn't working in Photoshop CS5...when I try and use it it just makes a dot and doesn't allow me to draw a continuous line...

    I got called away, so excuse me for not getting back sooner.
    I did not know you were using a tablet. If you disconnect the tablet does the mousepad or trackpad give the same results?
    If so, you may try resetting prefs. I do not know if you are using a Mac or PC

    If not then you may have to troubleshoot your tablet and check your tablet's maker for the latest drivers.

  • CS6/CC - Brushes do not work!

    Hi there,
    I have photoshop 5.5 and it works totally fine with my bosto kingtee tablet. I recently tried downloading the CC trial to test it out and I can click buttons in photoshop with the pen just fine, I can draw with the mouse just fine, but it doesn't put a mark on the canvas with my pen. I then grabbed a cs6 trial, same deal. Seems only 5.5 is working for me. I've reset the brush settings and preferences, I reinstalled my pen drivers. I'm out of ideas!

    it does work for other people. So it's not the driver from the tablet maker.
    You need to consider that you might be oversimplifying things, and re-examine your assumptions.
    Chris is one of the more senior engineers on the Photoshop team.  He knows what he's talking about.
    Try uninstalling and reinstalling your driver.  If it has a preferences panel, see if there's a way to reset them to defaults.
