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.

Auto-downloading Movies and TV shows not working

I have two Mac minis running iTunes 11.3 under Mavericks 10.9.3, each is logged in to a different iTunes Store account but otherwise setup the same. They as mentioned are logged in to iTunes Store accounts, and in Preferences I have set them both to "Always check for available downloads", "Download pre-orders when available" and ticked "Automatic downloads - Music". I have not ticked the "Automatic downloads - Apps".
There is no specific option to do "Automatic downloads - Movies" or "Automatic downloads - TV Shows" however supposedly the Music option should cover these as well.
Neither Mac is automatically downloading Movies or TV Shows, based on a suggestion elsewhere I have tried having "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" enabled and not enabled, this made no difference.
I do have iTunes running all the time because it is acting as a home-sharing server for a set of Apple TV boxes.
Is the problem that this automatic downloading only happens after relaunching iTunes?
Manually downloading by clicking on the cloud icon does work. Purchases may be made either on one of the Apple TV units, or on another signed in computer. The purchases are recognised by the Mac minis as when "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is turned on the new purchases as listed but not automatically downloaded. Using "Check for Available Downloads" in the Store menu does not cause it to download these new items either.
The Mac minis are authorised for their respective iTunes Store accounts.

Hi John,
Automatic downloading does not apply to Movies and TV shows, but does apply to music and other content. See this article -

Selection and Type Tools not working in InDesign CC for Mac

I have just recently downloaded InDesign CC (I use Mac OSX.9.2) and got the World Tools plugin to typeset in different languages.
However, I am having trouble using the selection and type tools. In about the first half of the file, the type tool displays the pointer/dashed box/I-beam icon and doesn't put the cursor in the text when I click on it. I can't click to select text as I should be able to, and if I try to click and drag, all I do is end up creating another text frame. But in about the second half of the file, the selection and type tools work the way they should.
When I click and hold on the type tool, the cursor changes to the crosshairs icon for creating text frames and the "W: H: " dialogue box for text frames appears.
How can I get the tools to work properly in the entire document? Is anyone else having this problem?

@Cindy – usually all 3rd party developers will provide some information for installing and uninstalling their products. First see if you can find some information on their web sites.
Also there should be a dedicated Adobe Extension Manager app where you can look up the installed parts of InDesign. Since I do not have InDesign CC installed, I do not know exactly, but its name should be something like "Adobe Extension Manager CC".
If you start this app it will show all parts installed with InDesign (or other apps that are installed).
Usually at the bottom of the list are the 3rd party installed components. They do not state "Adobe Incoroprate System" as author. Never uninstall (remove) the Adobe ones!
Here a screen grab from my German Adobe Extension Manager CS5:
If you select one, a new option is available at the right. In my case here the "Entfernen" button ("Remove" in English).

Have downloaded CC photoshop and brush tool not working

Hi, I have downloaded PS and the brush tool does not work. I downloaded PS last week and set up a watermark to use on my photos using the define brush preset. It wouldnt work,so i googled a heap of things to try and nothing worked.I made sure opacity was 100% and also that i was on a layer and nothing worked, I have just uninstalled and reinstalled and went to a new PSD and the brush still doesnt work.Please help, it is really frustrating. Here is a screen shot if that helps. Thanks

You have the History Brush selected. Normal brush is two icons up the tool bar.

Live Paint and other tools not working?

Hello,
Most of the time while using Illustrator almost all my tools except for the pen tool do not work, as in the mouse icon turns into this circle with a line through it, and doesn't allow me to do anything on my layer, and it's just one layer nothing else. Why does this happen? I have a drawing that I image traced on illustrator, and would like to paint it now, but I can't use the live paint option. Sometimes the select tool doesn't select anything and it just disappears!
Can anyone help me with this?

I'm a complete beginner to illustrator and I thought it was just another small thing that beginners are not familiar with and that other people can relate? Anyway, I use Illustrator CC on a Mac. Here is a capture I made trying to use the brush tool:
The cursor of the mouse doesn't show, but it is like I said, a circle with a line across. This is where the live paint doesn't work as well:
Maybe you can spot something on my screen that I'm doing wrong?

Straightening and Crop tool not working. What to do?

I've been working with photos all morning, and now neither my Straightening Tool or Crop Tool are working. What to do?

Close and re-launch Aperture. Let us know if that doesn't take care of it.
I try to close Aperture once an hour. It pushes my hardware (and, likely, OS) to several of its limits. Re-launching the program rinses out any crud that has accumulated (that's not _exactly_ technically correct, but ... ).

Lift and Stamp tool not working so well? White images!?

Here's a strange issue.
I worked on an image yesterday. Today, I want to copy the adjustments to another image in the same project. When I use the Lift and Stamp tool to copy the adjustments, the new image turns completely white. Even though I checked the adjustments and they look the same as the original one, the new image is all white.
Now the strange thing is when I adjusted another image today then used the Lift and Stamp tool, the adjustments copied over fine.
The only thing I can see which is different from the image I adjusted yesterday is that I had Aperture send that image to CS4 and I edited a TIFF which I stacked back with the original file.
I'll try to make a screencast available so you can see what's going on.
Looks like Apple's going to need to update Aperture 3 before it really comes out.
Antonio

Thanks for your effort. I am stunned. Would be edifying to know what is happening! I thought it might be okay as I sometimes turn my image black after applying some change, but the black is only a temporary display problem as the image is correct the next time I go to use it; perhaps in my situation Aperture was busy generating new previews for presentation of the changes. Your white is certainly a different issue. Glad it's only an isolated incident and not happening for you on the other images.

Brush and Pencil tool not working in Photoshop CS5 trial

I dowloaded the Photoshop CS5 trial yesterday 2 days ago. Everything worked perfectly yesterday. Unfortunately, today...the brush and pencil tool doesn't work. Anyone have any idea why?

We need a few more details like what doesn't work
with the brush or pencil tools.
Provide a screenshot if you feel that would help illustrate the problem.

Indesign CC - tooltip on guides and drawing tools not working

I just updated CC this morning - but the tooltip when you pull guides down or when you draw a new shape (the dimensions etc) do no longer show.
I know you can still see this in the toolbar - but it was really handy seeing near where your cursor was aswell.
Do I need to tick something in prefrences or has this fallen foul of the latest update and will need to be fixed in a future patch?
Hope some else is having the issue and just not me!

thanks Steve - that is currently ticked already and seems to not be having an affect.
It must be a bug in the latest update as a collegue who sits next to me who hasnt run the update still gets the tool tip.

Photoshop Elements 11 Selection and brush tool not working right

I have this problem where I select parts of an image I am trying to draw, and I want to fill the selected regions of the image with color but whenever I use the brush or the paint bucket tool to fill it, little tiny regions outside of the selection are also painted, now I am not sure if I don't have the settings right, or if the software is broken. I have attached two screenshots that show the problem, please someone explain to me how I can fix this.

Also when I am trying to attach images from my computer to a discussion here in the adobe forums I can't because the "insert image" remains greyed out even though I have selected the image file I would like to attach.

It appears that the selection is not accurate, i.e. the "marching ants" extend beyond the object. If you are using the selection brush for this purpose, on the tool's option bar, you will see icons via which you can add to, or subtract from, the selection.
Once you have created the selection with precision, go to Edit menu>fill selection. In this dialog there are several options which are self explanatory.
You can also place the selection on its own layer via CTRL+J, then use the eraser tool to touch up. I do this frequently. It helps to place a layer with contrasting color below the selection layer temporarily to facilitate visualization. Be sure to delete this layer when you are done.

Marquee tool and shape tool not working properly

I have Photoshop CS five, and today while working in it, the behavior of all of my tools changed.
Tools are now defaulting to “select from center” mode, which normally requires holding down the option key.
As another clue, if I create a marquee selection, as soon as I release the mouse button the Marquis tool switches to “intersect with selection” mode.
I quit Photoshop and deleted all of my Adobe Photoshop preferences, however when I relaunched Photoshop the problem was still there.
I thought maybe my option key was stuck down, but when I tried typing in stickies, characters typed normally, so my option key is not stuck in the down position.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Thank you for your response.
I actually spent some time with Adobe tech support working on the problem. You are correct it was a bug; they had me update my Photoshop AND delete this file from my preferences folder: com.adobe.Photoshop.plist — those two things did the trick.
Thanks for the help!

Local Adjustment Brush and Gradient Tools not working in LR3.2

I am not sure what i did, but those tool have stopped working. I don't know how i manged to do this or if it is a bug, but i noticed that the color palette is gone from the setting tab for these two tools. If you look on the right tab of the screen shot, you can see that where the colour box used to be, there's nothing. Not even the box with an "x." If i try and use either tool, the whole frame just turns pure grey. Any thoguths or Help would be much appreciated. I'm hoping that maybe i accidentally clicked or hit a key i didn't notice.
Thanks!

Screen sharing and Pro Tools not working

Hi there. I'd really love to get some help with an issue I'm having.
I'm using ProTools 9 on my 2008 Mac Pro 2.8 Octo.
Protools runs perfect, unless I attempt to use screen sharing or any sort of VNC connection. As soon as I try to screen share with my laptop, or control the mac pro with my ipod touch using VNC, Protools can't play for more than a few seconds without an error bringing the program to a halt.
I started a thread on AVID's site that has more detail if you are interested.
http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=291040
But I've had no answers and I don't know if it's something I can tweak in my apple system to fix the fact that Protools is not interacting well with screen sharing.
any advice would be much appreciated. I'd LOVE for this to work, otherwise I need to buy a dedicated DAW controller, which doesn't make sense to me in 2011!
thanks!

Hello, Joel,
Unless you're actually using Apple Remote Desktop, the specific product, I'd suggest you post in the Mac OS X Networking forum or perhaps the Using Mac OS X forum, the one applicable to your version of Mac OS X. You'll be more likely to get help there.
When you repost, be sure to include full details, especially your version of Mac OS X. I really doubt that you're running an Apple IIe and Mac OS 8.6 or earlier, and while you might think that amusing, it doesn't help people solve your problems.
Good luck, and regards.

InDesign CS5.5 - locked objects and align tools not working together

In earlier versions of InDesign I used the Align palette, spacing 0 mm, and "dragged in" other objects to perfect fit to the center object. InDesign drags in objects from the right this way. So if I needed to drag in objects from the left side I locked the center object first and InDesign understood what I wanted to do.
In CS5 and 5.5 this is not possible anymore. If I lock an object it is not selectable. But there is a preference setting for this so I change it. Now I can select the locked object. But when I try to align it with another object there is an error message saying I can't move this object because it i locked. Well... I am not trying to move it hence the lock I applied...
I don't understand this changed behaviour. If a locked object is out of play I might as well use the layer palette and lock objects that way.
Could someone please shed some light on this?

Apparently the distribute spacing command only uses the top object as a reference. I would say that's a bug.
