Brush Shape Dynamics CS5

Is there a way to turn of shape dynamics in the brush dialog in CS5? I used to be able to uncheck if in previous version of CS, and it would stay unchecked. Now it will not stay unchecked.

If the icon (circled in red below) is enabled, this may be
the cause.
Try clicking the icon to disable and see if that helps.

Why won't CS6 load brush shape dynamics from brush presets?

I have a bunch of saved brush presets that I use on multiple computers and photoshop versions.
In CS6 suddenly my brush presets won't load correctly when I pick a brush.
When I pick a brush I'll get all the correct brush settings EXCEPT for the Shape Dynamics. Shape Dynamics will remain the same throughout all my different brushes.
I've done all of the following steps and in various combinations with no result:
reloaded my brush presets
resaved my brush presets
re install my wacom drivers
unplugged and re-plugged my wacom
restarted my computer
update photoshop
I'm using Photoshop CS6 (64Bit) on windows 8
My tablet is a Intuos 5 touch L
Thanks beforehand

Two things to check
The Pressure Override could be enabled for size in the tool options bar
The Lock button to the right of Shape Dynamics in the Brush panel could be enabled

Spot Healing Brush Shape Dynamics?

Is it possible to change the shape dynamics of the Spot Healing Brush Tool? I see where to on any of the other brush tools but not for this.
Using Photoshop CS4.
Thanks,
Wesley

use can change the brush shape to an oval and rotate it as well as change the size. but you can't use the brush panel with all the fancy stuff.

Healing brush shape dynamics

Does anyone know if there are brush shape options for the healing brush? It seems that when I use the shift button (to draw a straight line), the resulting path is like the brush with "shape dynamics" on, which I usually leave off. Is there a way to alter this?
Thanks,
Randy

Hi Randy,
Double check the Size: drop down menu in the Brush dialog. You access that by clicking on the Brush image in the Options Bar. Set the Size: dialog to Off and see if that solves your problem.

Brush Shape Dynamics - thin begining - big middle - thin ending stroke

Have CS3 on XP.
I am trying to get a pen stroke that starts out thin...gets normal size in the middle...and then shrinks back down to a thin line at the end.
In brush dynamics... I am able to get a thin ending on a stroke but not a thin beginning. Im using the size jitter control set to fade at 300 to get a line that fades to thin OK at the end...but I cant make the beginning thin!
I am trying to stroke a curved path for Christmas designs...scroll kind of looks...thin beginning...fat middle...thin end.
Thanks

Read Jeff's post #1. If you check off the shape and other dynamics you'll see a more accurate preview of your brush. See the yellow warning:

 I think a rotated oval is about the best you can do without a tablet:

How to disable anoying and slow stamp brush preview? CS5

Hello,
i have this problem in Photoshop CS5
as always, with nev version we got new features which nobody needs and slow down the performance... and/or workflow
for example: anoying preview under the stamp brush, which is unbelievably slow and cannot be turned off
next thing is brush shape preview, i often use large brushes and i need to see the whole shape, not just one quarter of the brush, please change that
thanx

If not for the new features, why upgrade Photoshop?
You have video driver problems. You are also likely wrong that OpenGL Drawing is turned off on your system, assuming by "stamp brush preview" you mean the overlay preview inside the brush for the Clone Stamp tool, because with OpenGL disabled you wouldn't be seeing that overlay. Keep in mind that when you make OpenGL changes in the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu you should close Photoshop and reopen it.
Why do things work differently in CS5? The simple answer is that Photoshop demands more of the video drivers than its predecessors. And your computer / software setup isn't up to the task.
Chances are it can work better... Download the latest driver for your nVidia video card. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
By the way, the Clone Stamp overlay (assuming that's what you're describing as the "stamp brush preview") is not "unbelievably slow" on most peoples' systems - it's perfectly interactive and a real help. To turn off the Clone Stamp overlay, choose Window - Clone Source, then uncheck the [ ] Show Overlay setting.

Fade for size jitter in shape dynamics doesn't work

I have CS6.
I used to be able to fade out brushes under the Size Jitter in Shape Dynamics but can't now. I open up CS3 and I can do it in there. Any idea why it isn't working in CS6?

Minimum Diameter is at 0, it has been before when fade worked.
Here is a screen shot.
I have Fade at 50%, yet it hasn't changed. I moved the slider for Mininum Diameter and nothing changed.

Slow Brushes In Photoshop CS5

Hi:
I've just started experimenting with the new capabilities of brushes in Photoshop CS5 and I'm having problems with the brush response being abysmally slow. I'm working on a Mac Pro Quad Core, 2.93 GHz with 8 MB of RAM and a wrireless mouse. Can anybody tell me what might be contributing to this slowness??
Herman R.

I've installed the 12 02 update and the latest drivers for the
FX3400 graphics card. Now when CS5 opens it tells me its disabling theGPU enhancements. I have the GL turned off.
It also likes to crash when I run Imagenomics plug ins.
So CS3 did not use GL? Whatever. So that means that its slow and crashes now. I can see in other threads here and elsewhere the retarded brush action is common. They released CS5 too soon. Its not even half-baked. Also I want the images to open on the right monitor but with CS5 I have to drag each image over to work on it.
I'm back to using CS3 and they said my refund will be credited to my card the first week of January. I'll have to monitor to see if they get their application working before I return as I have wasted so much time with this I think they should pay me for helping with their product development.

Roblem with the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS5

I have a problem with the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS5. When opening a number of files to work on them the Spot Healing Brush works initially fine and without any problems. After a few files the Spot Healing Brush doesn't work any longer, even I didn't changed any settings. So far I solved the problem by closing and reopening CS5 which is not a very efficent way to solve the problem Does anybody have an idea what is causing the problem and more important how I can fix it.

A visual guide just in case
To reset, select your Tool, right, or ctrl-click (Mac) on its' icon in the top Option bar, and you should see the reset menu.

Turn off Shape Dynamics for Pencil tool at 1px size

As discussed in this thread, it would be preferred if Photoshop's Pencil tool defaulted to turn OFF Shape Dynamics when the tool is set to a pencil size of 1px.
The current behavior, with Shape Dynamics on, does not allow the pencil to work correctly using a Wacom tablet. This has been verified using two different tablets and in Photoshop CS 4 and 5.

There is no way to turn off the 'function' in Photoshop ?
I mean...why user can edit a Shortcut for toggle 'Layer'...but dont allow user redefine the CapsLock key for ?

The mouse cursor brush shape disappear after 120px.

I choose a round brush, at 90px, the mouse cursor round brush is perfect, but as I increase the brush size, the cursor showing the round brush shape start to desintegrate as I increase the size of the brush.
I have PS cs4 and PS cs6, in both version I have the same problem, so I'm thinking is the graphic card? but I don't know what settings to change.
Thanks.

Make sense, I upgraded the drivers for the GPU, and restored those other setting back how they were before and the problem is fixed.
Of course GeForce software comes with some crap that get install in my machine, and add a bunch of icon and apps in the browser search bar, I already uninstalled, I guess Nvidia need to make some money, poor guys.
Thanks.
Good memories from, Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges!!!!

Missing custom brushes, shapes, gradients etc

Hi.
Whenever I'm working in Photoshop CC, is it always showing me the standard materials that was along the program when I bought it.
No matter what I make myself and save it or I download online some custom brushes, shapes, gradients, patterens, styles and so on, they won't show up in the program?
When I check my Photoshop folder on my computer is everything in the right folders, it just doesn't wanna appear in my program..
How will I get all my custom materials back? Both what I made myself and what I got by others?
I'm using Photoshop CC on a Windows 8, if that matters..

Check the file permissions on the relavant *.abr etc. files. PS may simply not be able to access them. that£s of course assuming you imported them properly in the first place...

How do you create a custom brush "shape"?

I want to create an effect of a large paintbrush moving across the screen.
Is there any way to create a custom brush "shape" to do this using the Paint tools? I can't find anything obvious in the help on how to do this.
Thx
Kevin

Or, if you have Trapcode Particular, define your shape as a custom particle. The painting could then be controlled by animating the emitter position or defining a motion path by ways of a 3D light as an helper item.

Roto Brush issue in CS5 Premiere Pro

I am a new CS5 user with a week of learning under my belt. (My previous experience was splicing 8mm film together when making films as a kid.) I am hoping someone can advise on an issue I am encountering in CS5 Premiere Pro? (I realize Roto Brush is a tool in After Effects, but I am having trouble with the output of the Roto Brush tool in Premiere Pro.)
I opened a .VOB file (taken from a DVD) in Premiere Pro (first I changed the extension to .MPG). It opened as 720 x 480 at 23.976 fps. No problems scrubbing through and using the Razor tool. I selected one of the small razored subsections I made from the video, and opened it in After Effects using the Premiere Pro menu selection: File>Adobe Dynamic Link>Replace With After Effects Composition. No problem opening in After Effects. I learned the Roto Brush tool and it also worked great as I successfully masked out a moving figure - looks great. But ...
When I return to Premiere Pro, the After Effect composition does not display the same as it did in After Effects. Specifically there appears to be some kind of mask/motion mismatch, and so a bluish border will appear on some frames around the figure as it moves. In After Effects the rotoscope is perfect, but in Premiere it is like a poorly done rotoscope with the borders of the figure messed up. I am hoping the comparison images below will make this clear. The image on the left shows the perfectly rotoscoped figure in After Effects, and on the right the same frame but in Premiere Pro. Note how the image in Premiere Pro has a messed up border around the figure?
Has anyone experienced this or know why it is occuring? I can think of some possible work-arounds that could be tried, but the dynamic link method is nice and fast. So before I start rendering and saving and reopening files in a work-around attempt, I am wondering first what could be causing this issue. Thanks for any ideas.

Hi,
Just to let you know that you've posted in the Audition (audio) forum and may do better posting over in the Premier Pro forums.
However, as one who works in both video and audio, I'd just comment that your choice of export format is affected big time by what you want to do with your edit. Things like Youtube, DVD, Bluray, etc. all have their own formats that you have to adhere to. Within those formats you often have choices you can make to balance bandwidth vs. quality but these only come into play once you've decided where your project has to end up.

Adjustment Brush Shapes

It would be handy to be able to draw out a shape like an spline shape (as in LightZone) with edit points rather than always have to paint things in. I find the auto mask handy but not that accurate and quite a fiddle to go back around edges with a little brush.

I second this. Select the area to be painted and then not have to be so delicate when painting. of course there should be a feathering option around the selected area.
