Brush resize in Liquify doesn't work

Mac OS X 10.10 (fully updated!)
Photoshop CC 2014 (latest release!)
Wacom Intuos 5 Medium (newest drivers!)
Normal brush increase / decrease with a keystroke setup of [ and ] works fine.
Opening liquify filter and try to increase or decrease the brush doesn't work at all. Seems the keystrokes in the liquify filter are different (and unknown?!) to increase & decrease the brush size but WHY?

Solution found:
Setting up the Wacom Intuos 5 and Photoshop CC 2014 to...
Brush decrease: #
Brush increase: NumPad *
Keyboard language: German
Works with normal brushes and in the Liquify filter.

Why not enable left click brush resizing in liquify tool?

I'm not sure if it can be changed, but, I've never understood why all the menus to change the brush size can only be accessed from te side of the screen.

You can Alt/Opt right click and drag to resize the tool brush sizes in Liquify. It works really well and is very fast.

Elements 11. Resize image tool doesn't work. Tried online chat with Adobe - no help.

I recently got a new computer (pc) and decided to download Elements 11 instead of the old version that was on my old computer. I've discovered that the image resizing tool doesn't work, although the other functions seem to be working fine.
I tried an online chat with Adobe. Their suggestion was to buy another photo service from them for $10./month !!

Do you have Resample Image and Constrain Proportions checked?

Brush Resize in Liquify - Photoshop CC

I try to resize my brush in liquify with my pen, when I resize a few times, the brush pressure resets. I'm just about to explode of rage.
Also is there are way to disable the ALT+ UP/DOWN motion to change the pressure as well? I just want the brush to change size with ALT+ Left/Right motion
Thanks
Video card drivers are up to date.

I'm using the Intuos 4.
I don't use pen pressure in liquify.
I have this issue with Photoshop CC. I tried installing CS6 and I don't have the issue there.
For obvious reasons, I'd like to use the latest Photoshop, so I'd like to find a solution even though CS6 is doing the job for now.

Resize JComboBox dropdown doesn't work without customized ListCellRenderer

Based on the forum thread Horizontal scrollbar for JComboBox across multiple look and feel , the following code will work, if only I provide a customized ListCellRenderer (A JPanel with several JLabels).
FYI, here is my ListCellRenderer code [http://jstock.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jstock/jstock/src/org/yccheok/jstock/gui/ResultSetCellRenderer.java?view=markup]
Here is the code which adjust the drop down list width. The setup instruction is exactly same as the one mentioned in forum by Kleopatra
    private void adjustPopupWidth() {
        if (this.getItemCount() == 0) return;
        Object comp = this.getUI().getAccessibleChild(this, 0);
        if (!(comp instanceof JPopupMenu)) {
            return;
        JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu) comp;
        JScrollPane scrollPane = (JScrollPane) popup.getComponent(0);
        Object value = this.getItemAt(0);
        Component rendererComp = this.getRenderer().getListCellRendererComponent(null, value, 0, false, false);
        if (rendererComp instanceof JXTable) {
            scrollPane.setColumnHeaderView(((JTable) rendererComp).getTableHeader());
        Dimension prefSize = rendererComp.getPreferredSize();
        Dimension size = scrollPane.getPreferredSize();
        size.width = Math.max(size.width, prefSize.width);
        scrollPane.setPreferredSize(size);
        scrollPane.setMaximumSize(size);
        scrollPane.revalidate();
    }However, when come to a JComboBox, without explicitly provided it a list cell renderer, the above code will have NPE being thrown at line
       Component rendererComp = this.getRenderer().getListCellRendererComponent(null, value, 0, false, false);
       // Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
       // at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicComboBoxRenderer.getListCellRendererComponent(BasicComboBoxRenderer.java:94)Hence, I modify the code as follow and hoping it will work.
    private void adjustPopupWidth() {
        if (this.getItemCount() == 0) return;
        Object comp = this.getUI().getAccessibleChild(this, 0);
        if (!(comp instanceof JPopupMenu)) {
            return;
        JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu) comp;
        JScrollPane scrollPane = (JScrollPane) popup.getComponent(0);
        Object value = this.getItemAt(0);
        //Component rendererComp = this.getRenderer().getListCellRendererComponent(null, value, 0, false, false);
        Component rendererComp = this.getRenderer().getListCellRendererComponent((JList)scrollPane.getViewport().getView(), value, 0, false, false);
        if (rendererComp instanceof JXTable) {
            scrollPane.setColumnHeaderView(((JTable) rendererComp).getTableHeader());
        Dimension prefSize = rendererComp.getPreferredSize();
        Dimension size = scrollPane.getPreferredSize();
        size.width = Math.max(size.width, prefSize.width);
        scrollPane.setPreferredSize(size);
        scrollPane.setMaximumSize(size);
        scrollPane.revalidate();
    }No more exception being thrown this time. Just that my dropdown list doesn't resize at all when I have a long String. It remains normal size as usual, with horizontal scrollbar being shown to catter the long String.
Is there anything I had missed out?
Thanks

Yes. The problem solved. Out of curiosity, is it necessary to have statement? As I remove it, it just work as well.

Resize in wallpaper doesn't work, apple are you hearing us?

I have read several questions about resizing in wallpaper and there is zero response from apple, what are we to do?

@Skydiver: Lol, no.
You can't resize the images in iOS7, period.
Even turning off the whole parallax effect does not fix the issue in iOS7 on iPads.
Taking a screenshot and setting that screenshot as a wallpaper does not work either.
You can only zoom in, but not zoom out when scaling the pictures. And Apple needs to acknowledge this bug already, because it's absolutely ridiculous that they still haven't fixed this in 7.0.3. I really doubt they'll fix it in 7.0.4 either.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Resize image code doesn't work for some JPGs

Hi. I'm using the below code to resize images and store them on the server. However, with some JPGs, the resize produces a reddish tint on the image. Any ideas what could be causing this? Here's the original image: http://www.unctv.org/tWxkBbq_10M6wKRRL/PNCWWD01.jpg and here's what it produces afterward: http://www.unctv.org/tWxkBbq_10M6wKRRL/PABDFC01__1289231445291.jpg
Photoshop CS5 is used to produce the JPG input for this app. Thanks.

I don't know anything about the jpeg encoders, but I do see code that doesn't make any sense to me:
Image resizedImage = null;
int iWidth = image.getWidth(null);
int iHeight = image.getHeight(null);
// This code ensures that all the pixels in the image are loaded.
Image temp = new ImageIcon(resizedImage).getImage();What is the point of creating an ImageIcon from a null image?
int newWidth = (int)this.targetWidth;I don't see where you actually use this variable, so how does the image get resized?
For more help create a [url http://sscce.org]SSCCE, that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour and maybe someone will take a look at it.

On Screen Liquify Brush Resizing Issue

Hello
I love screen brush resizing feature (alt+right click drag) added since version CS5, it works perfect I can say to be addicted to it.
But I believe after some of the recent Photoshop CC updates the behaviour of brush resizing in Liquify menu changed. Now I can describe it as lagged, graduated, it can freeze forcing me to drag the cursor farther (I use wacom tablet). The same time brush resizing outside of Liquify menu works perfect.
Can the problem be associated with my video card?
I will post the same message to photoshop.com as well, just want to be noticed.

It might be an issue specific to your system, as you mention.
Brush resizing (with a mouse) in the Liquify filter for me is perfectly responsive - smooth and quick, just as on the main Photoshop document display.

In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

I Created an adjustment (Curves) layer and did the curves adjustment. Then I did an Edit Fill (Normal Mode, 100% Opacity and Use: Black).
I then try to use the brush tool, but it doesn't work. I've done this hundreds of times before and suddenly it's not working. Rebooted the system, but that didn't help.
I know how to do a screen shot, but it doesn't paste onto this screen. How do I get that to you?
thanks for your help

Resize brush in the liquify filter, photoshop cs6 Mac (13.0.4)

Hello,
I just update to photoshop cs6 (Mac 13.0.4). Unfortunately, it's not possible anymore to resize brush in the liquify filter by "CTRL-Option-drag" like I did before in former CS6 version.
Has anyone encountered the same problem ?
Many thanks for your help.

its not ctrl+option+drag
its ctrl+option+shift and launch your ps, delete the
setting file when prompted.
open your photoshop.

Adjustment Brush in Lr 2.5 doesn't work

I've upgraded to Lr 2.5 but now my adjustment brush doesn't work. I can select the brush and the "pin" will even show on the photo but that's it. It will not adjust the photo in any way. The Crop, red-eye, spot removal, and graduated filter tools all work. I'm using a MacBook OS X 10.5.8. Any clue why this is happening?

Press O and see if the Mask is toggling. If you can see the mask, press O to turn it off again. You could also try Shift O to change the mask colours. There is one colour that can make it look like nothings happening, depending on where it's used.
Try an extreme setting too, just to make sure it's doing something.
Finally, try restarting.

Sampling colors with brush tool by holding down ALT key doesn't work

I'm trying to sample a color with the brush tool on an empty layer while painting by holding ALT key on my mac but it doesn't work for me on Photoshop CC. Is there a setting that I'm missing?
Thanks,
Juliano

Select the Eyedropper Tool, check on the options. Is "All Layers" selected?

"Zoom Resizes Windows" doesn't work in CS4

I have the "Zoom Resizes Windows" option checked in Preferences. However, when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse (which is assigned to zoom in the Photoshop software), it only zooms in/out on the image within the window. WHY do they put the option in there when it CLEARLY doesn't work???
I have my image document windows "undockable", so that I have the flexibility to move them around and zoom in/out as I please when I have more than one. But the zoom does NOT zoom the document window. It keeps it the same size while moving the image within it. This "Zoom Resizes Windows" option is NOT working.
Is this a joke, or am I missing something? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

I too am having the same issue as Whintersby. I find that it is not pixel related as much as it is the physical size of the resized window.
Note the lower right corner. Once the resize dragger disappears the window will no-longer resize up using the CTRL ++. Unless you first physically drag the corner with the mouse a little. At that point the functionality returns. As Whintersby has said it is quite frustrating and quite disruptive to a solid work flow.
If anyone has found a solution to this it would be quite helpful.
For any Adobe techs that might be here, I am on Win7 (64).
While this may possibly be a moot point as I intend to upgrade to CS5, I want to make sure that it gets resolved and does not simply continue into CS5.
