Brushe icons pixelated. No Softness or Airbrush Function.

Hello! i have a problem with PS CC on mac. I adjusted the pixel aspect ratio because PS didn't load my images in the correct size (changed it to square). My brush icons are now very pixelated and lost their airbrush function (softness). The problem is only the eraser tool not the brush tool.
I restarted PS and may as well.
I also tried to adjust the aspect ratio settings.
Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Is there any Page function equivalent to Word's brush icon that can paste paragraph style to independent paragraphs multiple times in a Page document?

    In Page Manual, I did find an instruction that allows us to do something similar, but it is so tedious having to go back and forth between dropdown commands.
    I want something simple like Microsoft Word's paint brush icon that simply let me copy the paragraph style (size of font, character style, spacing etc) and then just paste the style to other paragraphs independently - separated by subtitles with different font size and styles that I want to keep.
    I am using iMac with the latest Mountain Lion and Page 09 now.

    Once you have a style set up it is only a single action to apply it to any text.
    Personally, I never got "the hang" of using that paint brush in Word. Give me copy & paste style any day, which is what I used in AppleWorks. With styles in Pages it's even easier.

  • CS 5 healing brush looking pixelated

    Hello,
    I've noticed in the last few months that whenver I use the healing brush for cleaning up skin tones, areas around the eyes that the brush has been creating pixelated splotches across the area instead of blending in with the skin the tones. I've tried the hard & soft brushes as well changing the degree of hardness (between 0-25%) and it still shows
    pixelated. Also the brush icon would disappear while I'm retouching.
    Either I have to close the brush palette and reopen it, or worse case close photoshop, reopen it so the brush icon would reappear.
    I don't know if it's because it's PS 5 or the software is showing it's age.
    I have a MacBook Pro early 2011 running 8GB memory. I don't think it's a Apple memory issue.
    If anyone else has had a similar issue or may know the cause of this I greatly appreciate some feedback.
    Here's a screenshot showing the healing brush splotches. Normally it blends in, but it hasn't. Also the cloning tool has been doing similar. Not smooth cloning..
    thank you in advance..

       Would you believe me when I tell you that I don't use layers?
        I mean I have in the past if it's something that is going to print or for a client.
       Currently, the images I'm working on is for my website. I have the final & original files
        but when it comes to web images they (final image) ends up being smaller files.
       Your suggestion of just changing the brush to harder worked.
       I reset the brush presets and hopefully that will clear up the brush's disappearing trick.

  • Brush icon not showing

    brush icon doesn't show in screen when painting photoshop cc

    Could be one of several reasons including having the Caps Lock on or the brush size is tiny or huge in relation to the document size.
    Also, check in the photoshop preferences under Cursors.
    What operating system are you using?

  • My brush icon reduces from a circle to a cross in CS6 this makes it impossible to judge where I'm painting, erasing etc., any ideas on how to fix this? thanks

    The title says it all. After about 1/2 hr using CS6 my brush 'icon' stops showing up as a 'circle' and reduces to a cross. I've tried everything I can think of but to no avail. I have to restart CS6 to get the circular icon back, but then after about a 1/2 it disappears again.
    Please HELP!!!!!

    I didn't even notice that. I think that fixes it. Thanks.

  • Photoshop CS6 brush icons disappear

  • In the photo bin, what is the brush icon within the thumbnail for?

    In the photo bin, what is the brush icon within the thumbnail for?

    It means you have made edits but not saved them. At least, that is what it's supposed to signify.

  • My brushes look pixelated. What's going on?

    I started Ps today and when I used the default soft round brush, it looked like this.
    The other brushes also look similar, like pixelated.

    Add the Dissolve blend mode to your ideas database as great for a chalk on blackboard effect.

  • Brush icon not displaying correctly

    Hi folks,
    I just installed CS4 on a lovely new Dell notebook with WUXGA display (1920x1200) and am having a problem that I have never seen before. When the brush tip is small (up to 35 px at 100%)  I see the entire circle defining it, but as I move into larger and larger tip sizes the circle starts to disappear from the bottom right, becoming just a smaller and smaller circular fragment until it disappears entirely at around 300 px. If I select the center crosshair, this also disappears around 200px (when only a small circular crescent is left), and then reappears at around 400px (minus any trace of the circle).
    It is obviously some sort of display issue: if I change the image size the behavior is the same when the circle is the same size onscreen, so it is the display size and not the absolute pixel size which determines it. This happens whether I choose normal or full-size tip.
    Has anyone experienced this? It is not only annoying, it is positively serious, since at certain sizes I cannot even tell where or how large the brush is.
    Clear type on or off makes no difference. I have not noticed any odd display behavior with any other program.
    Any suggestions most welcome.
    Toby

    This was a very common fault in the early days of CS4.
    You need to update to Version 11.0.1 and get the latest video drivers.
    You might have to experiment with OpenGL settings in the preferences too.

  • How to create the Copy icon in the change Purchase order functionality

    Hi,
    In the shopping cart creation screen, there has a option to copy one Item in the Items in Shopping Cart section.This functionality is supplied by standard SAP.
    Now I will have to build the same logic ( Copy Icon with the copy and paste logic)  in the Cahnge Purchase Order functionality.
    So anybody told me how this can happen?
    Also want to know the BADI or some Function Module name from where standard  SAP did the same thing ?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi. You could add a new button by amending the template, then use the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to copy the item when it is pressed.
    Just copy all the details for the line to be copied in the BADI. I think you will have to generate new GUIDs for the new lines using function GUID_CREATE. All the other GUIDs, header, partner etc could be copied from what was already there.
    Alternatively, still using BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, you could add a new custom field, see note 672960, called "Copy Item" and the user could enter an X or something in there to indicate they want to copy.
    Or how about a number of copies, they could enter 1 for 1 copy, 10 for 10 and so on?
    When the user presses check the BADI runs and you copy the lines.
    It would not be as neat to look at as the copy button, but it would actually give more functionality and would mean you would not have to mess around with templates.
    Regards,
    Dave.

  • Icons Pixelated, AIM Freezing, Battery Crashing... HELP!

    I own an iBook G4 which was purchased in February of 2005. I have never had problems with the computer (with exception of the keyboard letters fading..) until a few weeks ago. The computer is running the latest version of OS X 10.3.9.
    The problems came all of a sudden and yet all at the same time. They consist of the following:
    - The icons that appear when scrolling through my open programs via ALT+TAB, as well as those of open programs on the dock, are very much pixelated. Not too big of a deal, but I'm thinking it may be related to the others.
    - Whenever I close a window in AOL Instant Messenger, the entire program freezes. Logging of my conversations is on.
    - Most importantly, and perhaps unrelated to the other two, my computer shuts off 30-45 minutes after being fully charged when disconnected from the charger. The meter on the battery indicates it still has at least half of its power left, and the computer can be turned on again a few minutes after shutting off (only to shut off minutes later).
    Again, everything started a few weeks ago. I don't remember when I updated to the latest version of the OS, but I ran Software Update and everything is up-to-date. Does anybody have any suggestions on the cause of these problems? I'm getting desperate. Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    I don't know what is causing your problems, but if nothing else, I suggest that you perform some basic troubleshooting/maintenance steps as outlined in:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. In particular, make sure to do the disk repair and to clean your caches.
    If this does not help, see if you can associate your problems with how you are operating your machine. For instance, reboot the computer. Then, without starting any apps, see if you have problems, such as the pixelation. If not, then turn on one of your standard apps at a time and see if the problems start. In particular, it is curious that you mentioned AIM in both of your posts. Pay attention to what happens when you start and use AIM.

  • IWeb shows red site icon and won't allow any functions

    When I open iWeb I'm unable to use any functions (such as new file). The site shows up as a red icon. What do I need to do to use this application?

    Wow, this is sooo NOT like Apple to leave us hanging like this. I'm headed to the Apple store tommorrow. Maybe someone can answer this question and resolve the issue.

  • Spot healing brush icon same on screen

    Can anyone help? When I turn on the spot healing brush, (and the clone stamp tool, and maybe others too), I used to get an indication of the size selected when I moved the tool across the photo on the screen - but now I just get an icon representing the tool, with no indication of the size selected - it's driving me mad. I'm sure there's something easily corrected here....but what??
    Many thanks!

    Hello!
    It might be a preference that you checked: go to Photoshop>Preferences>Cursors, and select another setting than Standard in Painting cursors , for instance Normal or Full Size brush tip.

  • Missing healing brush icon

    Hi, I am new and ignorant so your patience is appreciated. I am using the trail version of CS5 Extended and earlier I had the "content-aware" icon in the tool bar, now I do not, and it is dimmed in the edit menu. Nor can I find a "healing brush" of any kind. The icon is no longer available on the file that I used it on earlier.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.  Thanks.   Ted

    Some tools are nested with other tools. Tha spot healing brush is in the slot just below or beside the paint brush tool
    depending on how your toolbox is setup. Just press and hold on the different tools in the toolbox to see the nested tools.
    The little black triangle beside most of the tools indicates there are other tools nested in that same slot.
    You must be seeing the content aware scale under the edit menu which is different from content aware with the spot healing brush
    or Edit>Fill>Content Aware.
    where the tools are:

  • HT4061 My mail is frozen. I get to it from the Mail icon, but then it will not function. Touching it will not move it at all.

    My mail is frozen. I can get to it from the Mail icon, but then the touch pad feature does not function. I cannot move the mail page up or down or from side to side. No messages will open. Help!

    Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
