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.

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:
Photoshop Elements doesn't respond when you use editing tools in Mac OS X 10.10

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,
DanieLThis 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. -

If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

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".

Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014
logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
any ideas?Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based. Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed.... -

Try validating the fonts using FontBook to find the most obvious problems. -
[EB3]Events not working in Photoshop
Hi All,
Except the "applicationActivate", other events-
- documentAfterActivate
- documentAfterDeactivate
- documentAfterSave
are not working in Photoshop; strange thing is that they are working in InDesign.
The code I'm using(working in case of InDesign)-
var csInterface = new CSInterface();
csInterface.addEventListener("documentAfterActivate", myEventHandler);
function myEventHandler(){
alert(event.type); // not alerted in case of photoshop
Are these events not implemented in Photoshop? I also want these events with Illustrator (not tested yet)
Any help will be highly appreciatedHi Shadowfax,
Thank you for reporting this. The mechanism of CSInterface Events needs Products like PS or
ID to send out the event like “applicationActivate” at the right time. However,
not all Products send out all events now; attachment events.png is a table that
listed current situation. Our team is actively pushing this issue forward and has asked Products team to
send out necessary events. -
Spacebar shortcut for hand tool not working in Photoshop CC - have tried closing all other programs
The spacebar shortcut for hand tool is not working in Photoshop CC - as suggested in this form & others I have tried closing all other programs with no result. I have also reset photoshop to default settings & this did not make any difference either.
There may be a software conflict. I went through this today. When I did a search in Adobe foruns actually found tha answer on the Illustrator forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1027227?
What the problem for me was an app called - 1Password. I had opened it, but not given my password to login and it was on in the background. As soon as I quit 1Password, the spacebar Hand Tool worked.
Then I opened 1Password again, and logged in. This time the spacebar works.
Others mentioned conflict with Spotify. And Chrome too. Couple other things. Read that thread in the link above.
Good luck! -
My Nik Efex filters are not working in Photoshop CC 2014 - they appear under plug-ins and seem to work, but after running and clicking okay, no new layer appears - seems to have no effect. The separate menu panel does not appear either. Help with this?
BINGO !!!!
Thanks so much Woodsroad. I had the exact same problem with my Dell Windows 7 64 bit with AMD Radeon 6700 Video card.
All the video tests passed with flying colors.
The sniffer rename trick fixed the problem.
