Computer crashing when using Spot Healing Tool ~ PSE9

Why does my computer "Crash" when I use the "Spot Healing" tool. While using the "Guided" edit for "Perfect Portait" every other tool works just fine, but when I go to do the "Spot Healing" it crashes. Weather I am in the "Guided" edit or to use it on it's own. This is my 1st attempt using PSE 9 and this feature. HELP!!

Try clicking on the drop down icon under the word file - then choose reset all tools.

LR 3.5 'crashing' when using spot correction tool

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 (from XPx64) and have had to restart LR several times after using the spot correction tool. The circle verifying the correction doesn't appear, and my mouse cursor disappears anytime it is over the LR program window. Task manager indicates the program is running, but I can't operate the program. It also will not close from the start bar, and only closes from the task manager. Any other experience this?

Spot Tool slowness and lock up can be caused when the 'Lens Corrections' tool is used (i.e. Enable Profile Corrections or Manual tab settings applied). Try temporarily disabling the 'Lens Corrections' tools by turning OFF the small switch to the left of the 'Lens Correction' tab. This will disable all lens correction settings. Try using the Spot Tool again and see if that fixes the problem. If so this is the best solution for now, and once finished with the 'Spot Removal' tool you can flip the Lens Corrections' swicth back ON.

Adobe Photoshop CS4/5 Crashes when using the Move Tool

Hello. I'm here because I'm having an issue with Photoshop.
I was trying out CS5 when it started to crash every time I tried to use the Move Tool. It was the generic error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working.
A problem has caused Adobe Photoshop CS4 to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Thinking that it was a CS5 issue, I went back to my copy of CS4, only to find the same thing happening there (I also downgraded because CS5 was also crashing at other random times for some reason, but that's an issue for another time).
This puzzles me because both were working fine before. Granted, I hadn't opened them for a while, but it was a sudden thing.
My first impulse was to uninstall and reinstall CS4. No luck. So then, I uninstalled all third-party plugins, thinking that might be it. Still, the same problem. I started looking around on Google for solutions and found the instructions on resetting the Tool preferences (I chose to reset the preferences for ALL of the tools). When that didn't work, I tried deleting the preferences file outright, which said instructions recommended. Nothing.
I should note that Photoshop crashes when using the Move Tool to move an object without ant lines around it, i.e., a layer. I'll move the object, and after two to three seconds, the mentioned error message will appear and Windows will close Photoshop. This, however, only seems to happen after selecting, copying, and pasting part of a large object with some variation of the Marqee Tool (thus making that part a new layer by default) while working at a zoom of 100%. So, in short, working with a large image like <a href=http://www.wallpaper4me.com/images/wallpapers/ergo_proxy_267_1280-862301.jpeg>This</a> at 100% zoom. The image linked is the image that I was using and am currently using to reproduce the problem. It is 1280x1024 pixels. I have tested this with somewhat smaller, yet comparable images too. Same problem. I have never had this problem working with large images before, and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions short of formatting my hard drive.

Even a decent RAM upgrade is usually only a few hundred dollars nowadays, but it's not a trivially simple process. That said, with a little research and care you can do it. Alternatively, you can hire people (e.g., "Geek Squad") to do such an upgrade.
First, you'll need to know what your operating system capacity is. For example, a 32 bit Windows system can really only use up to a bit more than 3 GB of RAM, while a 64 bit Windows system can use all the RAM you can find a place to plug in. What version of Windows are you running?
Then you'll need to determine what RAM you have installed and what your computer's maximum RAM capacity is - usually you can do this through internet research, either by visiting your computer manufacturer's web site or doing google searches. There are even RAM manufacturer web sites that will tell you what kind of RAM your computer needs and suggest sources, for example:
http://www.kingston.com/
It may be that you can just plug additional chips into currently empty sockets, or it is possible you'll need to replace the RAM chips you have installed in your computer to make room for an upgrade. Every computer is different.
If you list your computer model and current RAM that you have installed here, it may be that someone can help with more specific advice.

How do I get Content-Aware back when using Spot Healing Brush?

How do I get the Content Aware Button back at the top of the page when using Spot Healing Brush?

I think you're on the healing brush tool rather than the spot healing brush.

Adobe flash CS6 crashes when using the type tool or Editing word all the time... please help!

Adobe flash CS6 crashes when using the type tool or Editing word all the time... please help!

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The standard answer with all text issues simply is, that you have a "bad font" on your system and need to get rid of it.

PPro CC crashes when using Track Select tool

This is probaby the most bizzare bug i have encountered so far - everythig works - i can scub, play and adjust footage, apply effects, titles and time remapping, but when i select Treack Select tool and click on the timeline, Premiere Pro crashes.
This is a new develpment as well - i was able to use PPro CC just fine since i installed it (trial version), until yesterday.
No new applications or updates for Windows, Nvidia card or Adobe were installed lately, but all drivers are up to date (according to various update managers)
Premiere CS6 works fine with the same sequence (mixed RED and DSLR footage)

thank you

Yep, buggy project..
New project with same and different footage works fine
Other project created in CC works fine
Imported sequence from CS6 works fine
Imported sequence from a buggy CC project into a new project causes crash on using Track Select tool
I was able to revert the project in question to CS6 via Final Cut Pro XML, also works fine (for now, at least), just have to redo some time remapping which didn't come through with XML translation, small loss
I guess i'll wait few more months before switching to PPro CC, maybe mysterious bugs will be worked out by then
Thank you for your replies!

Aperture crashes when using the Crop Tool

I have tried using Aperture in 32 and 64 bit modes. I have the same problem in both when using the Crop Tool. Immediately after I hit "RETURN" key to finalize the crop I have chosen, the VIEW screen goes blank and the SPINNING BEACH BALL appears. I go to the "Force Quit" dialog and Aperture is highlighted in red--signifying a crash (unresponsive application).
THIS is happening more frequently.
Help!!

I had a similar problem. I solved it with these instructions on my blog.

Computer crashes when using illustrator

I have Windows Vista, 3 GB of RAM, and am using CS3. There are times when I use certain tools in Illustrator (as well as Photoshop) that will cause my computer to shut down or crash without warning. The tools that seem to trigger this shut down is the lasso tool, path eraser, and really anything that causes prolonged clicking and dragging. I have no idea what to do to fix the problem. It sounds like a hardware issue but I don't know where to start. Nothing else will cause my computer to shut down other than this instance. What do you think? I really want this problem solved - I've lost work countless times. Thanks.

The hardware issues to consider. Bad RAM, poor connection, inadequate graphic card, poorly seated graphic or other card or RAM (could have happened if you installed something recently or if you perhaps moved the computer, your monitor can be going belly up as well.
This can also be a corrupt or damaged or ill advised install of a free font that is flakey.
Back to the hardware inadequate space on the scratch disk or the scratch disk could be going to a crispy toasting.
Or some other hard drive is going bad.
Does not sound like preferences that I agree on.
Now this would be really bad but there is one other thing that might make this happen if it is indeed hardware, the processor is frying.
I go for a poorly seated card or bad cable or connection.

Photoshop crashes when using Free Transform Tool

Hello All Forum Members,
Recently Photoshop CS6 crashes when I attempt to use the Free Transform Tool through the shortcut (Ctrl+T).
It also crashes very often when using any of the free transform/transform tools via the menu as well, though not as often as the previous listed situation.
This experience only occurred recently - for all the time I have been using CS6, this has never happened.
I have read another thread similar to this, though I don't think the cause of the problem is the same as this was only a recent experience.
Any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Curt Y,
Thank you for the quick reply!
By immediately, do you mean when the loading or when the actual interface has finished loading?
I have tried both, but neither seems to have worked.
Is there a menu or someplace else I can reset preferences?
Many thanks!!!

After Effects CS6 11.0.2 crashes when using the pen tool (Mac OS X 10.8.2)

I'm using After Effects CS6 11.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.8.2. Whenever I use the pen tool to add a vertex, the application crashes. I've submitted several crash reports to apple (they get sent to apple automatically when the app relaunches).
My specs:
iMac
21.5-inch, Mid 2010
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3
Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
Anybody else having this problem or have a solution?

So I have discovered it only crashes when adding a vertex when I'm editing the max a few frames in. When I add vertices on the first frame of the comp I don't have any trouble. I've tried unchecking the box that says preserve constant vertex count, and it still happens.

How do I clean up a dirty drawing using spot heal tool?

I have a scan of a drawing, ink with washes. I need to clean up the smudged paper and old white out. I thouhg spot heal would do the trick. It doesn't do much, Don't know how to adjust the tool to really get it to work. Please help.

Hi there
Here's a quick video that covers how to use the Spot Healing Brush Tool:
If you're still having problems with the Spot Healing Brush Tool, you may want to try using the Healing Brush Tool. This tool allows for more refined spot clean-up, as I will demonstrate below.
The Healing Brush Tool is located below the Spot Healing Brush Tool. Just click and hold on the Spot Healing Brush Tool and select the Healing Brush Tool from the flyout menu.
The Healing Brush works by pulling information from a spot on your image that you choose. So, in your case, you'll want to define your source from a clean area of your paper. Photoshop will use this area to paint over other areas of your image.
So to start, Alt-click (hold down the Alt key on your keyboard as your click) on a clean area of the paper.
Now, simply click and drag over an area of your paper with smudges or imperfections. Photoshop will automatically blend the source area you defined in the previous step with where you are painting over.
As you go along, you'll see a small crosshair following your brush. This is showing you the area that Photoshop is copying from. You may need to redefine your source area as you go along. To do this, just Alt-click on a new area of your image.
You may find that the Healing Brush Tool is much more refined that then Spot Healing Brush Tool! Below is a video that shows you how to use the Spot Healing Brush Tool.
Cheers!

Illustrator CC 2014.1.0 Consistently crashes when using the Curvature tool

I'm using the curvature tool to trace a simple JPEG. After a few minutes the program will crash.
Never had this issue with previous versions of Illustrator.
I am using OSX 10.7.5
Any ideas as to why this would happen?
Thanks

I cannot guarantee you my suggestions are warranted, or effective, and I am in no way associated with Adobe troubleshooting staff, but... you should check to make sure that there are no erroneous printer entries listed with your peripherals. In addition, if you have networking functions enabled on your printer, and it does not possess network capabilities or they're malfunctioning, I advise you resolve or remove them from the properties ASAP. I don't know why, but if there's a networking printer error, you'd best expect AI to follow suit.
If that does not do the trick, you can try removing the prefs file in your AI dir.

Why is my lightroom cursor freezing and jumping when using spot removal tool?

I have just swapped from PC to Mac and in the process upgraded from LR 3 to LR 4. I have always had some minor issues with the spot removal tool occassionally jamming up or not working smoothly and taking a long time in LR3 on PC, but so far using the tool in LR 4 on Mac has been painful. It is like it is slow to load, and then the cursor/spot removal circle just dissapears or freezes???
This is driving me mental - I want to be able to fix minor blemishes etc quickly in LR instead of having to go to PS.
Can anyone give me any advice???
Thanks,
Melanie

What kind of mouse or graphics tablet are you using? That sounds like a driver issue. And what are the specs of your machine? There was a graphics driver problem a while back which were causing brush/spot cursors to disappear.
