Bugs in photoshop CS5

Hi,
Using Photoshop CS5 > Smudge Tool
When smudging any object inwards, it introduces weird colors, darken the pixels as well. I have tried using different brushes, and changing all the options but no avail. I need to know whether if I'm doing wrong.
Secondly, while transforming any object (Ctrl+T) if I right click, I find some useful options disabled (Distort, perspective, Warp and Content-Aware scale)
Thanks in advance for any help
Regards

Can you give a screen shot of the first "bug"?
The second one may be due to limitations of some image modes. What  mode are you dealing with?

  • Persistent bug in Photoshop CS5

    Is anyone having problems with loading a large number of files into  Photoshop cs5?
    I have a Mac Pro 2.8 8-core 2008 model, osx 10.6.4, and a gtx 285  graphics card and 16gb ram.
    Every time I try to open a large series of photos (not huge files but,  say, 100 files or so) in Photoshop cs5, the computer screen goes into a  flickering glitch and everything freezes. The only way out is to turn  the computer off.
    This happens every time.
    It doesn't happen with cs3, which is also on the same machine.
    Can anyone please advise on whether this is a cs5 bug or perhaps a  mismatch with my gtx 285, or even having both versions of Photoshop on  the same machine?
    Thanks.

    Apple put out an update to fix this exact problem, which they introduced in MacOS 10.6.4.    How is that "one company blames another"?
    Either their update didn't really fix the problem, or there was a problem with the install of their update on your system.
    Applications cannot cause the sort of error you are describing -- only the driver or hardware could cause that.
    Your next step is to report this to Apple, and see if they can help you figure out if the graphics update was installed correctly.
    If it is installed correctly, then one of the major bugs was not fixed with the update, and Apple will have to address that.
    In the short term, you can minimize the likelihood of this occurring by disabling OpenGL drawing in Photoshop (and thus minimizing use of the broken OpenGL code in the OS graphics drivers).  But that will not completely eliminate the problems, because the OS also uses the GPU for some drawing, and other applications can see the same problems (games were affected worse than Photoshop).

  • BUG WITH PHOTOSHOP CS5

    One thing I cannot stand with
    Photoshop CS5 is the snap on files.  I open 10 files and I have 10 tabs.  In order
    to manipulate them, I have to drag the tab out in order to drag and drop layers between files.  I had a
    great idea if you guys like to have tabbed open photoshop files.  Why not
    have the layered files I have be able to drag and drop onto the tabs???????
    This way, when I click on another opened file tab, I can see the layer on the file I dragged and dropped.
    HERE IS AN EVEN BIGGER IDEA.
    When dragging and dropping photoshop layers onto other open tab files, when you drag and drop onto the tab, HAVE THE TAB LIGHT UmP.  This way, when I let go of the mouse, I can click on the tab and KNOW the layer is in the file.
    Just thought of putting my two sents in today.

    I know of someone who had this same issue. He ended up backtracking to 10.6.3 and that fixed the problem. There seemed to be an issue with part of the update that PS didn't like when handling so many open files.
    Hope that helps.
    Edit: Here is the link to the Adobe forums thread.

  • Found a bug in Photoshop CS5 Extended

    I didn't know where to report a bug so that's why i decided to do that here.
    When you enabled the rulers in PSE CS5 and you use the keys 'ctrl' + '+' to zoom in the rulers won't redraw and rescale.
    This is really annoying because i use the rules really much.

    Thank you for the information.
    I will give it a try.
    Works for me!
    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • AMD Radeon HD 6750M and bug in Photoshop CS5

    Lately I noticed that merging spot channels in Photoshop CS 5 changes the opacity of the images.
    Adapting my settings in preferences > performance > GPU setting solves the problem if you enable the Open GL drawing and in advanced settings mode is set to basic. This was not set by default and so gave the problems mentioned above.
    I hope that a future update of the video card driver can solve this problem.

  • Photoshop CS5 strange brush jumping bug

    Strange brush bug with Photoshop CS5 Extended English (Updated to 12.0.2 latest).
    Youtube link of my screen recording
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxwUi35TMYo
    When  I first start (quick) brushing on top right, the strokes appear at bottom  right.... No shape dynamics, no scattering, just plain soft round brush  in black. If I stroke slowly, the behavior is OK.
    This is very frustrating and appears very often for me if stroke quickly, so I can't use smudge which is often done quickly.
    Windows 7 (Simplified Chinese). Nvidia GTS 450 but OpenGL has been disabled. Graphic driver updated to latest. No brush scattering, no shape dynamics.
    Please help, thanks in advance.

    This subject shows up here from time to time.
    Unfortunately, I don't recall reading about any specific fix that works.
    Usually the advice is update video drivers, check all other software running on the system for possible interference, change wireless mouse batteries, try a wired mouse, completely remove mouse or tablet drivers and reinstall, make sure nothing is moving over an unused trackpad, etc.
    Perhaps it would help if you listed your OS and what input device you're using.

  • Busted Transparency/Pixel Grid in Photoshop CS5?

    I'm hoping someone can help me out if its a preference, or if its a bug in Photoshop CS5... If you check out the image below, the faint white lines outlining the pixel grid from CS4 are perfect, whereas in CS5 they're horrible. I'm on Mac OS Snow Leopard with Photoshop 12.0.2.
    Can anyone offer any insight? I'm really tempted to go back to using CS4 because of this. Hopefully it can be fixed soon...

    Here are some screenshots to answer your question:

  • [Photoshop CS5] Optimize to File Size working not correctly.

    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement: Optimize to File Size working not correctly.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Open any photo.
    2. Draw a slice
    3. Save For Web, choose Optimize to File Size, type 10KB (Current Slice).
    4. Save "selected slices" only
    Results: File result larger than expect (over 10KB)
    Expected results: <=10KB filesize.
    I uninstalled whole Adobe CS5 Master Collection (Trial) & tried to reproduce the bug in Photoshop CS4, but it was not happened, it's ok on CS4.
    Finally, Windows 7 is not reason, it's a bug of Photoshop CS5. Please fix, I don't want to buy a bugged software.
    I really need the feature "Optimize to File Size" in my works.
    P.S: I tested on 4 PCs, and the results is the same.

  • Photoshop CS5 32 bit misrecognizes a command received from another program...

    I use a free mouse gesture program called StrokeIt. It allows mouse gestures to be made for other programs. It uses mouse gestures and a few mouse click actions to activate custom commands.
    But there is a bug in which Photoshop CS5 32 bit won't receive a command properly from StrokeIt. A StrokeIt command sent to Photoshop CS5 32 bit with the wheel_down mouse gesture is misrecognized by Photoshop CS5 32 bit as the same command used by the wheel_up gesture. The developer of StrokeIt has done a lot of testing on this problem and has concluded that this is a recognition bug in Photoshop CS5 32 bit under 64 bit Windows [but no problem with 64 bit Photoshop]. Can this be fixed?
    BTW: I'm currently using: Win7 x64 | Photoshop CS5 32 bit | StrokeIt Home 0.9.7
    ALSO: To perform the wheel_down / wheel_up commands in StrokeIt, you hold down the right mouse button and scroll the wheel down/up. This will run whatever commands you have customized to that gesture.

    here is the detailed dicussion with the strokeit developer on this problem at the strokeit forums.  the developer's name is jeff and the discussion on this problem began on nov 15 on page 2...
    http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/forum/read.php?3,54070,page=2
    this problem affects *some* 32 bit programs on 64 bit windows, and photoshop cs5 32 bit happens on be one of them.

  • Strange Display Bug - Photoshop CS5 64bit

    I have an issue where a portion of my screen extending from the top left corner displays images in Photoshop just a little differently than the rest of the screen. You can see how it looks in these screenshots (I was a little surprised the screenshots captured the bug). These are screens of a photoshop document filled with one color, not the two shades it appears to be.

    This bug doesn't appear except in Photoshop. As you can tell it's always the same part of the screen. Except somehow Photoshop briefly 'remembers' where the image bug is when I drag it around with the hand too. Eventually it goes back to the original spot or it will reset to there when I zoom or do something to the image. You can see in the screens how that works.
    I have tried clearing out the settings files.
    Reinstalling Photoshop.
    Updated display drivers.
    I connected to the monitor to another computer and ran Photoshop from that one (no bug).
    I attached another monitor to this computer - no bug with that monitor. Strangely, it seemed to take a few minutes to reappear after I reattached my other monitor again. I thought it had gone away at first.
    I've done some searching around the web and the forums but can't seem to find the right answers. It would be great is someone had some ideas on what's going on. This problem is driving me batty. Thanks much.

    Just a bunch of random thoughts...
    Hm, seems to stop exactly halfway across, left to right, and in a 5:4 ratio.
    Looks like a pretty big display...  What's the pixel resolution of your monitor?  Does it use a dual-link DVI connection?
    Do you have any desktop management software active that does things like expand the desktop or provide multiple / virtual desktops?  I'm trying to guess at whether something might be causing the system metrics to be reported wrongly.
    Just on a hunch, try this:  Choose Edit - Preferences - Performance, click the [Advanced Settings...] button, and change the OpenGL Mode to Basic.
    If no change, does the problem go away if you uncheck [ ] Use OpenGL Drawing entirely?

  • Bug: Default Panel width on Photoshop CS5 12.0.2 (all CS5 products?)

    Hi!
    It seems, the Photoshop CS5 12.0.2 update sets the default panel's width to 10 px on Mac.
    When I clean install the panel on new Photoshop it first opens like a thin line about 10 px width
    and about 300px height. It looks very strange and some people cannot scale it back with ease.
    (On Windows the 132px problem persists (bug #9 from here) even after update - panel cannot be scaled less than
    132px)
    Thanks
    Update: This behaviour is also confirmed on Illustrator CS5, so I guess it's a wider thing connected to the latest update of some CS5 component.

    OK, I found the source of this bug.
    minWidth. When you set minWidth on CSXSWindowedApplication with the latest updates to CS5, the suite will strangerly resize your panel to this minWidth whenever you try to set this.width. I will post it to the list of bugs.
    The test case is very simple:
    <csxs:CSXSWindowedApplication minWidth="10" applicationComplete="on_creation_complete()"  xmlns:csxs="com.adobe.csxs.core.*" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" historyManagementEnabled="false">
        <mx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
                 private function on_creation_complete(): void
                    // the following line will scale the panel to its minWidth value instead of 500
                    this.width = 500;
                    this.height = 500;
            ]]>
        </mx:Script>
        <mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%" verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center">
        </mx:VBox>
    </csxs:CSXSWindowedApplication>

  • BUG: Changing text colours within a text block: Keyboard shortcuts problem (Photoshop CS5)

    In earlier versions of Photoshop, I could double click a Paragraph Text to edit it, then select individual words and change their colours using the Ctrl+Backspace and Alt-Backspace keyboard shortcuts (to change them to either Background or Foreground colours).
    In PhotoShop CS5, Alt+Backspace is OK, but Ctrl-Backspace deletes the highlighted word! Not good. I believe this is a bug, can it be fixed to revert to the old behaviour?
    (Photoshop CS5 Extended x64 on Windows 7 x64)

    I fully understand what you're saying, and while I'm all for compatibility, user interface change cannot be accomplished without, well, change.
    Imagine, for example, that thousands of people could have reported that they couldn't delete the prior word with Ctrl-Backspace while using the T tool in Photoshop, while they could with every other application on their systems.  Imagine that none of the users like you reported that they were happy with things the way they already are.
    Perhaps the best approach in a situation like this would have been for Adobe to add a configuration option somewhere to allow individual users to make the choice.  But EVEN THEN there's a push from the Marketing types to simplify the number of choices given to customers, probably because doing so reduces support costs (imagine, for example, someone brainlessly setting it to your flavor of Ctrl-Backspace, then calling support to complain that they can't delete the prior word as they have always been able to do).  There are a lot of requests on this forum that read like "I must have changed a setting somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can find it."
    Microsoft and Adobe have both moved lately in this direction (reducing choices and configurability), reportedly to "reduce the cognitive load" on presumably ever less intelligent users, with ill effects in many cases.  Unfortunately, "you can have it any way you like so long as it's our way" seems to be the way of the future.

  • Photoshop CS5 Bugs on MacBook Air Fixed in Mountain Lion

    Hey all,
    I was pretty frustrated last November when I bought a new Macbook Air and experienced weird behavior in Photoshop CS5. Brushes would stop working. Tool icons would freak out. This was discussed at length on the boards, and Chris from Adobe said everyone at Adobe and Apple were aware of the issue due to video card incompatibilities (?) and Lion.
    Happy to report that all that behavior has dissapeared with Photoshop CS5 running on Mountain Lion (beta v1). It works as it was meant to. Yeah!
    Thought I would report back as all those threads have been locked for awhile.

    Thanks to the USB hub, Now Huawei E303C Datacard is working all fine in my new MacBook Pro 13" i7 Mid 2012 model.
    For experiment purpose, I purchased one USB 2.0 hub (Unknown Chinese model).
    I connected Datacard to USB hub and USB hub to MacBook Pro USB port.
    Hurray!! Datacard is detected by MacBook Pro.
    So, the problem is with MacBook Pro's new USB ports (USB 2.0 and 3.0 integrated in a single port) and Huawei E303C Datacard.
    It is a hardware support issue with Huawei E303C Datacard.
    I hope this will solve your problem too.
    Enjoy

  • Adobe Photoshop Cs5 Merge to HDR Bug 15' MacbookPro

    Hi,
    When I use Merge to HDR Pro in photoshop CS5 on my 15 macbookpro I can't click 'ok' or 'cancel' as well as not being able to chose which photo I want to keep as a merge photo.
    I saw some of the fixes but they didn't seem to work for me.
    Any help would appreciated as I didn't expect this to be an issue for photoshop CS5.
    Thanks, Chris.

  • [BUG] Photoshop CS5 Extended 64-bit and the UAC

    HI
    Installing all the updates of the suite of Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.LS4 32-64 bit on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, you must completely disable the UAC to start Photoshop CS5 Extended 64-bit. Why?
    THANKS
    BYE

    That's a fair question.  Mine's not broken and I have not had to reinstall it, so I can't answer from personal experience.
    General advice:  Make a good backup and set a restore point before trying any restorative activity.
    Also search this forum for something like "registry permissions"...  I seem to recall at least one thread in early to mid 2010 where someone identified parts of the registry on which to alter permissions to solve some problem or another.
