Color blend mode / Color brush mode doesn't work

Hello,
I have CS3, working on Windows 7/64.  For some reason, I cannot get color modes to work.  I would like to be able to sample a color from one area, and use a brush set on "color" instead of "normal" to paint.  Instead, all it does is darken and make gray whatever color it is trying to brush over.  If I try to leave the brush on "normal" but the layer blend mode to "color," nothing at all happens.  When I try changing the layer blend mode to anything else, (screen/normal/difference/etc), it works as it is supposed to.  Any ideas how I could fix this?  Thank you so much in advance!!

Hello!
I have the same question, and what are the colors you are trying to paint on and with?
Did you try to reset the brush tool by right-clicking its leftmost icon in the Option bar?

    Thanks anyway for your help.
    But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
    Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted).

  • In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

    In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

    I Created an adjustment (Curves) layer and did the curves adjustment.  Then I did an Edit Fill (Normal Mode, 100% Opacity and Use: Black).
    I then try to use the brush tool, but it doesn't work.  I've done this hundreds of times before and suddenly it's not working.  Rebooted the system, but that didn't help.
    I know how to do a screen shot, but it doesn't paste onto this screen.  How do I get that to you?
    thanks for your help

  • Paint brush tool doesn't work with my Wacom tablet

    My new pen tablet works well except when I try to use the paint brush tool. I was using NIK Color effects pro plug in and when I select the paint brush mode it didn't work. So I just tied the paint brush tool without going thru NIK and it still didn't work with the pen tablet. There must be something I haven't set correctly but can't figure it out.
    Other tools work just fine such as the patch tool, etc. Any ideas?

  • Brush tool doesn't work

    I have just downloaded Photoshop Touch to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is running Android 4.0.4. The brush tool doesn't seem to work. I was wondering if this software is supported on this tablet.

    Hi. I'm sorry to hear that you have problems using the brush tool. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce – see my attached screenshot.
    When you compare the attached screenshot with the result on your device what difference are you seeing?

  • Tablet Design Mode : Full width stretching doesn't work

    I've had this issue before and it seems to not be going away. In Tablet mode when I try to create a box of any sort and stretch it to both ends of my design to ensure its seemless (full width / full screen) it works ... but Once I try to add 2 or more of these on a single page all of the sudden Muse decides to shove all my content to the left.
    I can't seem to even set a header and footer background box full width to more than one object. So if I make sure other objects are set at 767 (1px less) it will work fine again.. just can't do more than 1 at 768px! I've even had to trick Muse by making my objects set at 767px wide with a 1px border only on the right to get rid of the 1px space and hide it with a choice color.
    This used to happen in mobile design mode earlier this year but was eventually fixed with an update. What has it started again in Tablet? Do I need to re-install?

    So you're compiling your movie as ActionScript 3.0 (AS3)?
    What are you using to play the video? The FLVPlayback component?
    You might need to dynamically place your FLVPlayback instance on
    the stage with code, rather than manually placing it on the
    timelne/stage. (Also, check to make sure that you're not using
    duplicate names for instances of movieclips, textfields, etc. on
    the stage--the error message is indicating that it can't create a
    property, and that might be because something else is creating the
    same named property.)

  • Start SQL Server in single user mode with parameter -m doesn't work well

    C:\Windows\system32>net start mssqlserver /m "Microsoft SQL Server Management St
    udio - Query"
    The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service is starting.
    The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service was started successfully.
    C:\Windows\system32>sqlcmd -S . -e
    1> go
    1> select @@servername;
    2> go
    select @@servername;
    myserver
    (1 rows affected)
    1>
    As you can see, I'm still able to connect with sqlcmd prompt to SQL Server. According production doc of SQL Server 2014, it should not be conncting by sqlcmd. it shall only be connected by SSMS.
    below the original doc on msdn:
    Start SQL Server in Single-User Mode
    Provide Feedback
    Under certain circumstances, you may have to start an instance of SQL Server
    in single-user mode by using the startup option -m. For
    example, you may want to change server configuration options or recover a
    damaged master database or other system database. Both actions require starting
    an instance of SQL Server in single-user mode.
    Starting SQL Server in single-user mode enables any member of the computer's
    local Administrators group to connect to the instance of SQL Server as a member
    of the sysadmin fixed server role. For more information, see Connect to
    SQL Server When System Administrators Are Locked
    Out.
    When you start an instance of SQL Server in single-user mode, note the
    following:
    Only one user can connect to the server.
    The CHECKPOINT process is not executed. By default, it is executed
    automatically at startup.
    Note
    Stop the SQL Server Agent service before connecting to an instance of SQL
    Server in single-user mode; otherwise, the SQL Server Agent service uses the
    connection, thereby blocking it.
    When you start an instance of SQL Server in single-user mode, SQL Server
    Management Studio can connect to SQL Server. Object Explorer in Management
    Studio might fail because it requires more than one connection for some
    operations. To manage SQL Server in single-user mode, execute Transact-SQL
    statements by connecting only through the Query Editor in Management Studio, or
    use the
    sqlcmd utility.
    When you use the -m option with sqlcmd or
    Management Studio, you can limit the connections to a specified client
    application. For example, -m"sqlcmd" limits connections to a
    single connection and that connection must identify itself as the
    sqlcmd client program. Use this option when you are starting
    SQL Server in single-user mode and an unknown client application is taking the
    only available connection. To connect through the Query Editor in Management
    Studio, use -m"Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio - Query".

    Hi Shawn Xiao,
    For starting SQL Server instance in single user mode, we can add –m; parameter in SQL Server Configuration Manager, also we can run CMD with ‘Run as administrator’ and input the following statement.
    NET START MSSQLSERVER /m
    I do a test in SQL Server 2014 Express version, after starting SQL with Single User Mode, SQL Server will only accept one connection. If you connect to SQL Server with a user account, the following error will occur.
    Login failed for user ‘domain\username’. Reason: Server is in single user mode. Only one administrator can connect at this time.
    However, in your situation, you can connect to SQL Server and run T-SQL statement successfully, it can be due to connection with the administrator account in your sqlcmd.
    For more information, you can review the following article.

    Hey rayele,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are locked out of the iPhone. You haven't mentioned what part of the process isn't working for you. If you restored to a saved backup and the password came back you may want to see if you can restore as new without using the backed up data.

    If not, you should follow Padgett's suggestion.
    If you do not have one, pop in to a phone shop and get an OTG cable. Then visit your neighbours and ask if you can borrow a USB keyboard and / or mouse for 15 minutes. Even if you can only find a USB mouse, you can open a file explorer, find your way to C:\Windows\System32, click on msconfig and you will be back in business in minutes.

  • Photoshope Elements when selecting an action, the paint brush tool doesn't work and system keeps freezing, then catching up every 30-45 seconds

    I have been having this problem with elements ever since the last OS upgrade, but it wasn't all the time and it wasn't very bad. Now, I have upgraded my macbook again, and I cannot even edit a photo!! I open the photo, choose an action, say "smooth skin", then choose the paint brush, I start to "paint" over their face and it won't paint a line, I have to keep clicking it, click - it paints, move brush, click again - it paints. Plus, every time I choose a tool or an action, it freezes for about 10 seconds, then catches up to what I am doing, 30 seconds later, it freezes again. HELP!! I have 8 sessions to finish editing by this weekend!! I just want to cry!!
