CMD + Shift constrain drag shortcut buggy in Photoshop CS6 (Mac)

Since moving to Photoshop CS6 a shortcut I regularly use for switching tool and dragging elements on a page is producing varying results. The CMD + Shift drag is very useful to allow users to drag elements constrained vertically or horizontally on the page. However since CS6 I have noticed it no longer allows me to drag effectively while my cursor is over the elements I want to move. It goes a bit nuts and does different angles instead of the constrain. This problem is intermittent and depending on the elements I am attempting to move will randomly depend on whether it works. This shortcut I have been using for years and has become native to me. So why now is it not working properly ?

I can reproduce this issue in Bridge CS6. Thanks for reporting!

Resize brush in the liquify filter, photoshop cs6 Mac (13.0.4)

Hello,
I just update to photoshop cs6 (Mac 13.0.4). Unfortunately, it's not possible anymore to resize brush in the liquify filter by "CTRL-Option-drag" like I did before in former CS6 version.
Has anyone encountered the same problem ?
Many thanks for your help.

its not ctrl+option+drag
its ctrl+option+shift and launch your ps, delete the
setting file when prompted.
open your photoshop.

Re: CS6 updates and Mac write permissions
Need Adobe help to solve this. My own searches in Forums and Google all have failed.

It is not an Adobe problem. You have a OS permissions problem. You can try to correct this by using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. It is in the First Aid area of Disk Utility.

I use my own color profiles from Photoshop CS6/Mac Pro - how do I turn of Epson Artisan 837 printer color management?

I use my own color profiles from Photoshop CS6/Mac Pro - how do I turn of Epson Artisan 837 printer color management?

Choose Photoshop Manages Color in the CS6 print dialogue. At the top, click the Print Settings button and disable any color management settings for the printer.
Edit: Correction, that's CS6 in Snow Leopard. In Mountain Lion, if you check the print settings, color management for the printer should automatically be disabled when using Photoshop Manages Color.

Power user function: cmd+shift+/ not activating menu items in Photoshop

In Photoshop (Mac OS X), I typically use the pattern type cmd+shift+/ to open the help menu, type the phrase of the menu item I want to use, and then hit enter to activate the selected menu item.
I just checked Photoshop CC and the enter key does not seem to correctly behave as it should. Instead of activating the selected menu item, it just dismisses the help menu.
Is there a way to force the enter key to behave correctly, as it does in other apps?

It seems to do the same running 14.1.2 on mac os x 10 6.8
It seemed to work fine before updating from version 14.0

Bug? Can't Drag and Hold Mouse Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8 RP

I am having a few problems with the current Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8RP.
At first it was only the tilit shift and iris but it turns out it's everything to do with when you need to hold the mouse button and drag. It seems that the problem is isolated to Photoshop as other Adobe programmes are working fine plus other programmes and Windows generally is also fine.
I am using an Nvidia GTX580 with Windows 7 drivers until the proper version comes which is late of course!
Plus, I uninstalled my Intellipoint and keyboard drivers too and connected a generic mouse via USB and I still get the same problem.
Weirdly though, every (let's say) 20 times I try to drag and hold after constantly restarting Photoshop it works once then I have to try again a load of times by restarting the application.
Any ideas?
Joe

I'm running photoshop cs6 on windows 8 RP 64 bits and haven't seen that problem
and i didn't see that on the consumer preview either.
This is the driver i'm using:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-64bit-296.17-preview-driver.html
Just watch that windows update doesn't try to sneak in there own driver.
It happened to me twice until i changed the automatic updates to notify
and also watch that doesn't happen with your monitor profile as well.
The updated Nvidia drivers for rp are supposed to be released sometime this coming week.
Do you have any third party plugins or do you have the scriptlistener installed?
Did you try resetting the photoshop preferences or difference modes under the Advanced setting for the the graphics processor under preferences>preformance in photoshop?

Shortcut-Bug in Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3)

I noticed a bug in Bridge CS6: the cmd-key doesn't work in the file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...).
This bug only appears in the file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata via alt+i in Photoshop CS6, the shortcuts e.g. copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).

I can reproduce this issue in Bridge CS6. Thanks for reporting!

Photoshop CS6 MAC OS how do I locate an open image in the finder?

Every version of Photoshop on MAC platform before CS6 gave me a path to my image in the finder when I right-clicked or Control Clicked on the title bar.
Now I get information I can easily get elsewhere and there's no intuitive way to get my path information.
This is inconsistent with other CS applications as well.
Anybody have any ideas?
Really frustrating is that after saving an image it works, then if I leave the image open, click on another image, then click back to the one I just saved, the option list is different when I right click.
See attached.

Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
The "suite" concept is a complete fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types. The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

Tool Menu Stopped working in Photoshop CS6 Mac?

Today when I opened my Photoshop CS6 on my Mac in OS 10.9, the tool menu stopped allowing me to select a different tool by clicking on the lower right arrow in the tool boxes. Before, I could click on , say the brush tool, and hold the mouse down to select a different kind of paint brush. Now nothing happens when I click?
I tried trashing preferences, checking my mouse preferences, etc. Nothing seems to be different, and yet this maddening behavior has taken over.
Right click does open up the menu, but I much prefer the old way.
Anyone encounter this problem?

The popup list seems to have a time delay built in that at times I have seen not work. A right click the will usually pop up the list. Resetting tools and preferences and reboot is wort a try to fix the behavior

Does anyone know how to avoid grainy files after editing in Photoshop CS6 (Mac)

We have come across a problem using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 on a MAC. We use Illustrator CS6 for putting together the graphics and use Photoshop CS6 for editing. When we save the image in full res and browse the image - the image looks grainy both on a Mac and a PC. Has anyone else come across a similar problem and if so do you know how we can solve this problem?
Paul

Are you "Placing" the image files? What format are they saved in ( i.e., .tiff, .psd, .jpg, .eps )?

Photoshop CS6 (mac release version) is FREAKING OUT on external screen

Is it just me having this problem?
When I use Photoshop CS6 (released version) on my brand new MBP17 everything is just fine.
Then I pull it to my connected Cinema Display and everything FREAKS OUT.
Every pixel inside the imagewindow is distorted, is flickering etc.
When I pull it back to the MBP screen all is fine. Pull to the Cinema Display again and the freakshow starts anew...
Wth is going on? No updates are available.
Any other application, including every CS5.5 applications works fine when viewing them on my Cinema Display...
Sigh...

OSX10.7.3
MBP17 - AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
Btw the pixel errors start when I maximize the window on the Cinema Display. Forgot to write that.
But even if I dont maximize the window is unresponsive and I can't zoom or do anything when Photoshop 6 is sitting - even unmaximized - on the Cinema Display.
If I pull it back to the MBP 17 screen everything starts working again...

HOW TO ACTIVATE PHOTOSHOP CS6 MAC (CD EDITION) ?

so I've bought a Mac Version of Adobe Photoshop cs6 but can't active it
I've installed it and it then at 100% spits the disc out and no photoshop appears so I've reloaded it but it just goes back to the installing screen
how do i activate a cd version through live

Hi Station, and Merry Christmas. I somehow don't expect him to know the fine points (CD 600 MB/DVD 4.7GB typical), but to get the optical media out of the equation, I just got him over to the downloadable installer.
If his serial is valid, it's a go and he is in business.
If not and the serial number fails, he gets his money back (maybe) and learns about counterfeits.
