Brushes not working in CS4

Hello,
Today when I try to use any brush in PS I get a Clone Stamp error message and the brush makes no mark.
This has not happened before.
If anyone is familiar with such a problem can you please help?
Thanks for your consideration,
cobaltgreen.

Yes, I'm using the brush tool.

Healing Brush not working in CS4.

Hello,
The Healing Brush in my copy of CS4 has always been a problematic tool.
Some times it worked and sometimes it didn't.
Now it never works.
Can anyone please help me to get it working properly?
Thanks for your consideration,
cobaltgreen

Maybe you misunderstand the function of the healing brush. There are two healing brushes. One is an automatic brush that you can click on a spot, and it will attempt to automatically heal that spot. The other is like the clone stamp, except it attempts to repair the copied pixels to match the destination. Do neither functions work for you?

Script that worked in CS does not work in CS4 - multiple open page, print , pdf export and close

I had a script that worked great for me in Indesign CS. But now does not work in CS4. Anyone knows what needs to be done to make it work again ?
When I drop folder with indesign files on top of this script:
1. opens first page
2. turns specific layer on
3. prints using preset
4. exports using preset
5. close without saving
6. next page
Anyone who can give me solution or idea how this should work is greatly appreciated.
on open sourceFolders
repeat with sourceFolder in sourceFolders
tell application "Finder"
try
-- If you would like to include subfolders, you say - every file of entire contents of folder…
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias list
on error -- work around bug if there is only one file
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias as list
end try
end tell
if idFiles is not {} then
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set user interaction level to never interact
repeat with i from 1 to count of idFiles
open item i of idFiles
tell document 1
try
set visible of layer "ImagesTag_Layer" to true
end try
set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
with timeout of 700 seconds
print using myPreset without print dialog
end timeout
set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
set myName to the name -- name includes .indd should remove at some point
with timeout of 700 seconds
export format PDF type to "users:temp:Desktop:pdf:" & myName & ".pdf" using myPreset1 without showing options -- set path here format ComputerName:Folder1:Folder2:......:FileName.pdf
end timeout
close without saving
end tell
end repeat
set user interaction level to interact with all
end tell
end if
return 10 -- try again in 10 seconds
end repeat
end open

(Disclaimer: me not an AS guy!)
First thing I noticed is the interaction level is set off. If you comment out this line
set user interaction level to never interact
you might be able to pinpoint the exact error -- ID will display a standard "failed" dialog, hopefully showing the line that it fails on.
A quick question: the script assumes two presets in your InDesign: one for print ("letter size") and one for PDFs ("pdf preset name"):
set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
Do these actually exist in your CS4, with the same (non)capitalization and spaces?

Set Stroke weight for a frame not working in CS4.

Hi All,
How to set Stroke weight for a frame.
I tried using CreateStrokeWeightCommand of IGraphicAttributeUtils, but its not working in CS4.
Regards,
Jasmine
Message was edited by: Jasmine_Shaikh

Hi All,
CreateStrokeWeightCommand of IGraphicAttributeUtils works only when if the frame has some stroke weight already applied to it.
So do i need to set something else before using CreateStrokeWeightCommand to make it work programatically on a frame with no stroke weight.

My Open GL is not working in CS4 Windows 7

I recently got a new computer and loaded my Photoshop CS4 on to it and the features of Open GL such as holding down the z key and using the scroll on the mouse to zoom in and out and also the left and right bracket key inceasing or decreasing the size of the brush do not work. The new computer is using Windows 7 64 bit and has an AMD quad core with 8 Gb RAM. I checked to make sure that Open GL is selected in the Edit>Preference>Performance where it also tells me that the graphics card does support accelerated graphics for Open GL.
Does anybody have any other ideas on what I can do to get this to work?

What version of driver are you running?
If it's Catalyst 12.4, I suggest you try downloading specifically Catalyst 12.2, uninstalling Catalyst 12.4, then installing 12.2 and testing again.
I don't have exactly the same card you do (mine's a 5760) but I've had 12.2 in for a while and that versoin works very well with Photoshop.

Have you tried searching the forum? There have been several questions regarding this.
Searching has changed between CS2 and CS4.

Standard brushes not working in Photoshop or Illustrator

I have a lot of standard brushes that came with the CC brush library that are not working with any of the programs they come with. When I hover over the brushes they say "Type: Sketch Brush This brush format is not supported by Photoshop/Illustrator"
So where can I use these brushes then? I would like to create brushes using the Adobe Brush CC program on my phone/tablet, but I can't use them in my programs. ... What am I doing wrong here?

They are probably brushes from Adobe Brush. You have to target them in Brush to either make them work in AI or Photoshop.

Matrox Media Encoder not working in CS4

Good day,
I have just purchased a used RTX2/ CS4 bundle which includes the card and breakout box.
I am currently using RTX2/CS3 which I bought way back in 2008 and is still working on my PC with Windows XP Professional (32bit) running Service Pack 3.
The existing PC was built according to Matrox System requirements:
Intel(R) Core™2 Quad CPU@240GHz with 4GB RAM etc
So all the hardware on the machine is working with RTX2/CS3 without any problems.
I have installed CS4/RTX2 on the same machine and everything shows that it has installed correctly.
In device manager the card and drivers can be seen.
When opening Premiere CS4 the Matrox logo dispays and all the effects and presets can be accessed. The tune does not play when the logo is displayed.
The only problem is that when trying to export a sequence the Matrox Media Encoder option is not available.
When selecting File > Export > the only options available are:
Media
Adobe Clip Notes
Export to EDL
Export to OMF
There seems to be a missing link to activate the Matrox Media Encoder option.
Please help as I paid a lot of money for this hardware/software bundle which does not work.
Regards,
Johan
My RTX2/CS3 software is registered with Adobe as well as Matrox and I will do the same with RTX2/CS4 as soon as I can get them to work.

CS3 Extension that initializes a JS-Object during startup is not working in CS4

Here is a simple Extension that works fine in DW CS3 and doesn't work in DW CS4 (trial version):
The File myObj_Startup.htm was placed in Folder Configuration/Startup. It initializes a quite simple Javascript-Object during Startup of DW.
Content of myObj_Startup.html:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>beim Öffnen</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
myObj =
     showMsg : function (msg)
         alert(msg);
function onOpen()
   myObj.showMsg("startup");
// SCRIPT ENDE
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onLoad="onOpen();">
</BODY>
</HTML>
Besides this, an additional menuitem was defined in menus.xml to use the JS-object myObj:
<menu mmstring:name="menus/DWMenu_File" id="DWMenu_File">
        <menuitem name="Test" command="myObj.showMsg('Testing');" enabled="true" domRequired="false" id="DWMenu_File_SIEMENSTEST" />
        <menuitem mmstring:name="menus/DWMenu_File_New" key="Cmd+N" command="dw.newDocument()" enabled="true" domRequired="false" id="DWMenu_File_New" />
With Dreamweaver CS3 everything works out fine: I get a Alert-message: "startup" during Startup and when I'm clicking Menu->File->Test I get a Alert-message: "Testing".
With Dreamweaver CS4 (trial version) I get a message: "startup" as well but when I'm clicking Menu->File->Test I get no message.
Instead I get a Logfile "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration\Logs\DW JavaScript.log" telling me:
   JS Error:
       myObj is not defined
       filename:
       lineno: 0
       While executing DWMenu_File_TEST command in menus.xml, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
       ReferenceError: myObj is not defined
Why is this simple extension working in DW CS3 and not working in DW CS4?
Did they change the treatment of JS-objects initialized during startup?
Is the object out of scope?
Are such extensions not working in trial versions of DW CS4?
I cannot explain this behavior - please help!

Hi,
I have an similar problem and couldnt find an workaround for the problem.
When i add an new menu item to the menus.xml file, the menu item shows up, but my custom command (simple alert) wont trigger.
Can somebody please help?

Adjustment brush not working on new Mac with Snow Leopard

Just purchased a new computer a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if something is incompatible or something else. I'm can't remember if the brush ever worked on the new machine. Also updated to Snow leopard 16.2 during this period.
I see the adjustment brush and can change it's size and feathering, flow and density are set at 100%, masking is off, it set down control points, but that's it. It makes no visible changes to the image in any mode. If I put exposure at 4 stops and place it on a mid-tone there is no change to the image, either in Lightroom or upon export.
I've run permissions checks, trashed the preferences and repaired the drive with Diskwarrior all to no avail.
Lightroom 2.5, Power Mac 2.66 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon, 6 GB of factory installed memory, Snow Leopard 16.2
Should I try a fresh install of Lightroom??

Sorry,
My post above should have read Mac Pro. I recently switched and keep getting the names mixed up. Doesn't help that they look the same.

Photo Merge not working in CS4

I use Lightroom 2.3 on a MacBook Pro. When I go to "edit in" and choose "merge to panorama in photoshop", photoshop opens and the "photomerge window" comes up. I select auto merge for the 3 selected photos and click ok. Then, nothing happens. No new file is created and no activity takes place. I used to do this from Lightroom to Photoshop CS3 and it worked fine. Since installing Photoshop CS4, it does not work.
My Photoshop CS 4 performance settings are: memory 90% (or 2764 meg) and two scratch disks - the macintosh hd (89 g) and external drive (450 g). Open gl is not enabled.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That means you probably have 3GB of RAM installed. A 90% memory allowance to Photoshopunder these circumstances is clearly excessive. Try reducing it to 70% or less.

Make sure the EXTERNAL drive is designated as the PRIMARY scratch disk drive. You don't have much left on your boot volume; how large is it in total? Once a drive, any drive, gets to be 70% or so full, you're courting trouble.

Brushes not working in CS6

I just installed the Student and Teacher edition of CS6 Design and Web Premium. I am having a major issue with Photoshop--my brushes are not working. Smooth airbrushes are appearing with spattered edges (I do not have noise turned on or any other adjustments made), and the erodable brushes are not working at all. Everything else within CS and Photoshop seems to be working fine.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

FierceWraps if I had to guess I'd say you targeted a Layer Mask and painted black on it with a somewhat soft brush, so transparency is showing through the layer.
If that's not what happened, perhaps a full screen grab showing everything (Layers panel especially) could be helpful.

Spot Healing Brush NOT working...

Has anybody run into this? The spot healing brush is NOT working. I am starting over on a picture I already edited, using this tool a lot (to remove weird reflections, facial flaws, etc. I "reset all tools" to see if that would help and it isn't. I try to use "alt" on the face to set the base, but when I try to actually use the tool, nothing is happening.

I have used PSE 2.0 in the past and have just installed PS Elements 5.0. I have located the Spot Healing Brush which I have read is to be used for small spot fixes. I have found literature alluding to the 'Healing Brush', a different tool used for fixing larger areas of imperfection. Try as I might I cannot locate this tool on PSE 5.0 Is it not there? Can anyone help? Thanks

OpenGL Enabled, but not working (Photoshop CS4)

I have having a weird problem with Photoshop CS4. First of all, let me give off the specs.
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7570 (Driver Version 8.960.11.1000, with latest Catalyst Control Center)
I use Photoshop CS4 for freelance work, and one of the tools I like to use is the Rotate tool. When I first got my desktop and installed Photoshop, everything worked fine. However, recently I was forced to perform and factory restore on my desktop thanks to a virus.
Today I started working on something and when I tried using the Rotate tool, it was not working (I go that error window saying it wasn't enabled). I checked the OpenGL settings to see it was enabled. Confused, I restarted Photoshop and tried again with no luck.
This turned into a search around the internet to see just what is going on, but the only thing I could find was suggesting updating drivers for my graphics card and Adobe, which I have tried with no success. I have found out that some people were having the same trouble as me, but what makes my case odd is that it was working fine before the factory restore.
Any help would be great.

Because of ATI's plethora of version information I'm not really sure what Catalyst release your 8.960.11.1000 driver comes from, but I do know that Catalyst 12.4 has some problems working with later versions of Photoshop. Perhaps Photoshop CS4 isn't too happy with it either.
The most recent Catalyst release that was known to be good with Photoshop was 12.2 (though it shows up as 12.3 in the status display). It can be found here:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/previous/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx
Downgrading drivers is a bit more tricky than upgrading them - you have to fully remove the current ones first, then install the older set.
