Brush is constrained to 90º and appears as Color Sampler Tool

I'm having a suprise difficulty with my brush tool in that its cursor appears as the color sampler icon and it is constrained to 90 or 180 degree painting (sometimes just 90). Everything was working normally with my last use a day or so ago.
Other facts:
I've downloaded the latest update
Caps lock is not on.
I'm unable to right click in the options bar and reset all tools
I'd appreciate any help available. Thanks!

Apple released the 10.6.7 update for OS X today. This update corrects an issue introduced in the 10.6.5 update that affected modifier keys while using Photoshop.
More details, including how to install the update, are available in this Knowledge Base document:Alert "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?" | Tools, functions behave strangely | Photoshop CS5 | Mac OS 10.6.5, 10.6.6

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 Win 63 and 32 bit color replacement tool

    I opened a B/W jpg file, converted it to CMYK.  I have followed the directions from a few Color Replacement tool Help, etc.  I can't get it to work.  Converting Black to a lighter color, shows up very dark when it works, which is sporadic.  Very frustrating.  Open JPG file, convert to CMYK.  Select CRT, click Foreground color to a light color, select the black with one mouse click.  Drag to change color.  When/if it works color is very dark.  Doesn't work everytime.  Using the Color Mode and Sample Once.  Vista 64-bit with all SP's, CS5 32 and 64 bit, same results.

    I'm realyl not sure I understand why you try to use that workflow. A greyscale image is by all means devoid of all color and just contains lightness/luminance information, so there is actually nothing to replace. The times when it happens are probably just random compression artifacts that have a slight color fringe. With b/w imagery, you rather tint regions and that can be done using selections and adjustment tools or a global gradient map adjustment....

  • Adobe photoshop elements 9 . i cannot get the circle to appear on clone stamp tool and spot healing

    adobe photoshop elements 9 , i cannot get the circle  to appear using clone stamp tool and the spot healing brush . i`ve tried restating my computer and unloading and loading the adobe disc . but still no good .

    I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
    1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
    2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
    3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
    4. Click ok.
    Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
    P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

  • Continual problem with the Adjustment brush in both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4

    The Adjustment brush in both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4 continually stops functioning correctly - that is any adjustment made using the sliders in the Adjustment Brush panel does not make an adjustment on the image.      Normally I would go to Library / Preferences [on my iMac OSX 10.6.8], remove the com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist file and restart Lightroom.     However I have gone to Library/Preferences and there is no listing of any Lightroom 3 plist files, nor for that matter any adobe Photoshop CS5 plist files or any adobe Lightroom 4 plist files.      I have tried restarting the iMac but to no avail - no help at all!      I have no idea how to remedy the situation as I have no idea where the plist files have gone!!!
    Incidentally I have a new iMac 27" OSX 10.8 - same problem with the Adjustment Brush there, but so far the plist files haven't disappeared into the ether somewhere!
    Help would be appreciated  ...
    Many thanks

    Hi Jussi
    I tried changing to the B brush set, and the Adjustment Brush worked OK in there for a while - but now I have the same problem with the B brush set too.     It appears to happen instantly - one minute they're working, the next minute they're not!!         For example, I was adjusting Brightening using the Adjustment Brush and I literally made an adjustment on one image, then went back into the same image seconds later to make a further Brightening adjustment and the brush wasn't working - well, that is, not unless I pushed the slider to something like 160 and then I got minimal adjustment!!!       I am becoming increasingly frustrated  ..   I have literally worked for months with no problems, now it's almost every day!!

  • Menu tabs disappear completely after login and appears if only i press on item node at hire level

    I'm using a Menu Model to Create a Page Hierarchy in my adf application on Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0
    it is in three levels level 1 have 2 item nods (home - Help) displayed as buttons
                                level 2   contains 5 item nods about the managements displayed as tabs
                                level 3   is about reports displayed as list
    the point I have apply security in the application using Adf security wizard and i assign roles and users and grants
    all works fine but level 2 tabs disappear completely after login and appears if only i press on Home item node at run time
    I create 2 users (admin) has all roles  and can view all  tabs in level 2 of my navigation and another user (emp)  which can view one Tab page in level 2
    Point 1 --the item nod are rendered according the #{securityContext.regionViewable['oracle.view.pageDefs.RentManagPageDef']}     (EL ) expression language 
    and other item nod render property are set as the same but in the page name definition
    it works fine
    _ Point 2 in my page template I set #{menuInfo.rendered} for renderd property of the command navigation item
    it works fine
    - point 3 I add a  go link in my template to explicit perform log in log out from the app  and redirect the user to the required page
    Destination is
    #{securityContext.authenticated ? "/adfAuthentication?logout=true&end_url=/faces/wearhouse.jsf"  : "/adfAuthentication?success_url=/faces/company.jsf"}
    and its also works fine
    the problem is in the level 2 navigation tabs which is diaper after explicit log in the app directs the user to the correct page successfully
    But the tabs are not rendered till I press on home button on Level 1 navigation it appears and it appears  correctly cording the logged in user validation
    in another words i log in as user (admin) i get directed to the successful log in page  in the link go but  level 2 tabs are invisible or not rendered at all    I click on Home button in level1 navigation the tabs
    become rendered or viewable and i navigate normally
    I log out as admin the level 2 tabs becomes invisible again
    then I log in as (emp)  i get directed to the successful log in page and  level 2 tabs are still  invisible or not rendered
    I click on Home button in level1 navigation the only one tab the user emp authorized to it  gets rendered (appears)
    and its semi correct behavior because this is what I want him to see only
    my tries to find solution
    I tride to use
    #{securityContext.userInRole['division']}
    on the menu node item   I found same behavior level 2 tabs gets hidden till i click on home link at run time
    I tride to use #{securityContext.authenticated} to control item nods rending
    all tabs remains visible and i dont want that ain adition if user clicks on a tab of page he has no authority on it i recive server error
    I read 30.7 Creating a Login Page in the  Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework to finde about redirecting user
    and it is using the same as i did from adf tutorials
    I tried to make new navigation app on fast
    maybe i made incorrect change in any stage of my original app
    but I found same behavior
    I tried to set disabled property instead of rendered property the tabs are always rendered   but I got server error when I click on a tab which a user does not authorized
    So I doubt maybe problem in the El or the way I use to control rendering item node
    or there additional step to stop all  the tabs disappear after login
    I hope please some one Help or tell me what i have to read about in the developer guide  or interface developer guide or article on the web
    I'll be gratfule
    I know maybe it is small issue but help me please

    Hi,
    have a look at the sample that comes with this article: Oracle ADF: Security for Everyone It uses resource remissions to authorize panel tabs.
    One test to run is to print the outcome of the security evaluation (e.g. output text) to see what it returns.

  • How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

    Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement.  Not much else for troubleshooting here.  Sorry.

  • Creative Cloud installs and appears in my menu bar, but will not truly "open".

    I'm on OSX 10.9.3 . Creative Cloud downloads, installs, and appears in my menu bar, but will not truly "open". I only see the spinning symbol (the Adobe one, not the Apple beach ball). I never even get a chance to log in and download anything. I've tried on three different Macs with the same result. All three meet the system requirements for CC. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Sorry, it didn't work for me. I closed the application (it hung the first time I tried and I had to restart the Mac to get rid of the window), and deleted the recommended file. When I tried to re-open the app, I got this:
    I never got the opportunity to log in, either before or after the attempted fix.

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.
