Burn/Dodge tool not working

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
When using it earlier, I discovered that the burn tool would not work, no matter how i adjusted its settings. I also found out that the image was in Greyscale mode, which I manually changed to RGB mode. I hadnt changed it to Greyscale mode so I dont know how it came to be that way. I wonder if there is another mode it needs to be in for the burn tool to work?
Another point, once i changed it to RGB mode, i tried the burn tool on another color and it was working. It will not work on the gray part of the image im working with. Really not sure why that is...

It seems that the transparency was the problem, somehow.
I saved the file as a JPG and re-opened it in Photoshop, and the burn tool worked.
bah.
Thanks though.

Burn and Dodge tools not working on b/w sketch scan

Hi, I may have somehow eliminated information in an image of a black and white sketch which prevents the dodge and burn tools from working...is there a common mistake which prevents these tools from working as they normally should on a black and white image with multiple shades? (The sketch is not pure black and pure white but has multiple gray shades...it "looks" like an image on which these tools should work.)
When adjusting Levels for the image all of its "information" seems to be clustered around the "0" point on the far left of the Levels adjustment slider, if that helps in understanding this problem....
Did I mistakenly somewhere along the line destroy information in this image necessary for these tools to work?
Thanks in advance

> it would be nice if dodge and burn worked on partially transparent images. This is impossible?
It is working properly. With a partially transparent layered image, only **some** of the visible tone is coming from the image layer. The rest is coming from whatever is showing on the layer underneath. Burn and dodge will only affect the layer you're working on. As I said, I could get get B&D to affect it a little ... and that's is exactly what it should do in this case. Because the pixels are partially transparent, B&D is only going to **partially** affect the visible tone. It's altering the pixels on the image layer, just not very much because there aren't very many pixels available.
Peel off white does an incredible job. However, I would use it only once. The fact that the sketch becomes a bit transparent tells you it's removing image information.

-Why did my CS2 Dodge Tool stop working as set?

CS2 dodge tool stopped working as set, yet Burn, Sponge, Clone Tools all work; dodge tool leaves centered white specks if clicked multiple times; all my CS1 tools work; all my CS2 & CS1 tool settings are same (0 hardness, 20% exposure), rebooting does not fix; can anyone help? Is it possible to create this problem by accidentally typing Shift, Alt or Ctrl "," or "." or similar whilst using CS2 Dodge Tool? Thanks in advance!

It's probably something to do with the tool's brush. If picking a brush preset (not just a brush tip) doesn't fix it then reset the Dodge Tool. Right-click on the tool's icon at very left of Options bar and pick Reset Tool.

CS4 Burn/Dodge tools losing parts of the circle?

Hi guys,
I'm sure this is here somewhere, but I cannot find it. (I managed to find discussions in other forums via google, but thought I'd try here since those don't resolve my issue)
Problem:
Burn / Dodge tools losing 3/4 of the circle, leaving only the top-left portion
The tools still work, but it makes it difficult to know where I'm burning or dodging because I cannot see all of the circle of the tool. I've noticed this only happens once I fill a layer or add any sort of texture. I can open a new file and the tool is there in full (tested from 10px up to 100px) but as soon as I do anything, poof.
I'm using Win XP Home SP3, NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GT with the latest drivers (updated this morning). Every solution I've found thus far has been "update your drivers," but that isn't working in my case. Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

There is that... I have Version 11.0 installed. I am currently a college student, and have access to my college's Photoshop Learning/Tutoring Center (online discussions). Posted the same issue to a professor and they said to reset my preference settings back to default (hold ctrl+alt+shift while starting up PS) and so far it's worked. I'm going to get the update for v. 11.0.1 regardless. Thanks!

Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be

creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
(note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
just need advise not to share system specs.
and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
it's not to post or share system specs !!!
so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?

Hi,
It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
(Image>Image Size)
If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using?

The videos you might have seen might simply be using images that lend themselves to the task better than your image.

Adobe XI - Hightlight text tool not working

Just downloaded adobe XI and the hightlight text tool not working. How can I get this to work.

I guess you can always use the box tool in drawing markups to draw a box around the text then play with the colors until you get close to what you want.
The only thing I don't like about that (besides it being a PITA) is that it covers the text with color as well where the highlight tool does not.

Shape Builder tool not working on shapes in a clipping mask

Hello again,
Why is the Shape Builder Tool don't work on shapes inside a Clipping Mask? The Pathfinder does work but for the Shape Builder Tool: NADA!
Thank's for answering,
Lindberg

Hi,
Thank you for answering. No it will work correctly. The Pathfinder work inside a clipping path and in any situation but not the Shape Builder Tool. Unless this is normal, I think that the specialist at Adobe should have a look at this annoying behavior and try to release an upgrade with this behavior corrected in a near futur.
Thank’s again for answering,
Robert Marchand

Visual admin tool not working

hii guys,
in my netweaver system visula admin tool not working .when ever im trying to connect with user id and password its showing like this.how can i solve this issue.plz help me

Hi,
Try to login to system info page with administrator or j2ee_admin for java and dual stack respectively to check if the password is correct.
If the password is incorrect, then check if you have any alternate admin ID. Change the administrator or j2ee_admin password, then try to login with the new password. Change the password of SDM and securestore to the new one.
If this is not the case, then check the log files in visual admin directory. Please post the same.

Brush tool not working on mask.....

Can't seem to get brush tool to work on mask.
Duplicated a layer and applied multiply blend mode. Don't want effect of blend mode on entire image but can't get the brush tool to work on mask. I have made sure than I am working on the mask and not the image itself. Exposure is at 100% and have tried it with shadows, midtones and highlights. I'm probably overlooking something that is fairly obvious but can't figure it out. Any one know what I'm doing wrong?

yes, you are, that's not the Brush tool, you are using either the Burn or Dodge tool. The Brush tool is higher up in the Tools panel:

Polygonal lasso tool not working with stylus on Surface Pro 2

Hi guys,
I'm new here so please bare with me if I'm posting in the wrong place or don't make immediate sense.
Hardeware / software used: surface pro 2 and I'm running photoshop CS5.
Problem is a fairly basic one: I am trying to make basic selections using the polygonal lasso tool (using the stylus that comes with the tablet) but it simply will not work. All I get when I touch the stylus to the screen is the circle that appears then fades. If I attach the keypad and try using that then it works no problem at all.
Does anyone have any ideas as to whether there is a particular setting that I need to switch on or off e.g. something relating to pressure sensitivity (although not sure why this would affect this particular selection tool)?
I've searched the web and come up with nothing so far so any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time
Scott

same problem on surface pro 3 !!!!
and i think quite significant, for lot of artists using polygonal lasso a lot (including me). How come that the stupid surface cannot work properly
