Correct use of paintbrush tool and timeline

It seems like I cannot extend changes I made when painting alpha channel on a layer 30sec into a clip to earlier in the clip (ie frame 0). Is there a way to extend it visually via a keyframe, or do I just have to repaint at frame 0?

No problem.
You'll also probably notice a lot of other really powerful options in there.

Why can't I use the paintbrush tool?

I'm trying to paint on an image and when I mouse over where I want to paint I get the "prohibited" symbol and can't paint. I opened other .jpgs and was able to paint with no problem. Is there a type of file that you can't use the paintbrush tool on? Please help!

I found this to be a way around this issue:
Open the image that you want to draw on, keep that in its own RGB window.
Open a brand new document, CMYK.
Activate your Brush and draw a few lines on your artboard.
Then, copy and paste your RGB image into this new CMYK color space.
Voila. I think the Brush can only be used in a CMYK color space. And sometimes this does not work when you convert your document to a color space inside the RGB document.
Hope this helps. If anyone else has an alternative, let me know.
I've always had this issue with the Brush.

When using the move tool and or crop tool my whole screen goes black

When using the move tool and or crop tool my whole screen goes black and reappears when I go to another tool???

Hi 25Z4P,
Could you please take a screenshot of the problem you're encountering. I'm sure it is a black screen like you're describing, but it would be helpful to assess what is happening.
Thank you.

We recived ipads today in school to use as a tool and they said if i sync it to my itunes my itunes will be erased and all the ipad stuff currently on there would be erased the second i connect to the school i was wondering if this was possible?

we recived ipads today in school to use as a tool and they said if i sync it to my itunes my itunes will be erased and all the ipad stuff currently on there would be erased the second i connect to the school i was wondering if this was possible? i already pointed a couple things that they said was true but were false like useing that find my ipad thing were it just zooms in on your location they also said it would beep and they can track it anywhere witout a 3g network which we use the wi fi. teachers can connect to itunes i belive becasue they don't have the same rescrtictions as use students but early in the year they said one teacher tried and failed with the results that said would happen to use. besides ristrictions like loseing the app store and not being aloud to open any app wemb adresses we are to add music via the itunes that i already on the ipad. i was just wondering if there full of it right now because i think they are.

If I were a teacher setting up iPads to be used at school/work, I wouldn't link it to my personal iTunes, rather I'd create/use a different one. If for no other reason than to keep the kidlets and your fellow teachers from possibly accessing your account.

Where can I find information about using the measurement tool and log?

Am try to use the measurement tool to measure perspective plain; any ideas?

No one can remotely have "any ideas" to help you when you don't even mention what your problem is nor what your system and workflow are like.
Of course, when you post here,one assumes you have done your due diligence, read the documentation, the user guide, the Help files in the Photoshop Help menu, as well as done Google and forum searches, etc, and we would expect some sensible, detailed information from you.
Teaching someone Photoshop from scratch, step by step, exceeds the scope of this forum—or any other forum.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,

Using the rotate tool and hand tool at the same time in CS6

When using the rotate tool, you used to be able to use the hand tool even when the Rotate dialogue box was up. Is there a way to get that back?
I make Mandalas (http://www.behance.net/gallery/Mandala/2700497) and work from the center out. This poster is 18"x24" so once I start to get to the outer edge, I'm zoomed into the center at 6400% so I can get my crosshairs as precise as I can, then enter a number (45 degrees, 20 degrees, etc.). Clicking Preview helps, but if you're zoomed in and the object is out of view, you have to guess where it's going. In CS5, you could press down the space bar and use the Hand Tool even while the dialog box was up. Is there a fix for this? (Sorry if this doesn't make sense...it's kind of hard to explain over a forum.)

CS5 on Windows 7.
I can use the hand tool while pressing the Space bar while another tool including the Rotate tool is current. But I can not use the Hand tool in anyway if I'm in the process of using the Rotate tool by holding down the mouse button or dragging with it.
While the Rotate dialog is displayed I can not do anything outside of it in any way.
I can use the scroll wheel on the mouse to scroll the view up or down vertically while using any of the tools including the Rotate tool but not when a tool dialog is open.
I'm curious if others experience different behavior on a Windows system .

Adobe Reader XI is not working. I have used the cleanup tool and reinstalled it. I try to open a .pdf file in the program the window will open and load all the tabs but I am never able to actually interact with them.

I am unable to use adobe reader xi. I have tried to use the clean up tool and re install the reader. That doesn't seem to help. I go to open the pdf file in the reader and the window will load but I am not able to do anything past that point. Almost as if the program freezes once loaded I never get a not responding error until I open the task manager on the computer.

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

I want to be able to draw a scalloped box using the line tool and the arc tool, (for the corners), t

So I'm trying to make a logo that starts of with a scalloped square background. I drew this creating 4 lines with inverted arcs at the corners then grouped all pieces into one - a new shape. So now I need to color it in and this (should be a piece of cake step) is giving me a run for my money. Why can't a fill it in? I ended up freehand tracing it (badly) with the pencil tool and filling that in but that creates prob.s that you can imagine. Please help- someone!?!?!

Is this any use?
Do the whole thing with filled circles. Then Pathfinder (panel) Unite.

I was useing my colne tool in apetrure when, apeture froze. I could not get it to work again, so I turned off my computer, re booted my machine and tried to open the programme again. I can not get aperture to open again and I can't open I photo either. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get the programme running again? I have a deadline to meet this evening. Help!

I have tried both options.
When I got to point 3 I choose the library I was working on and the same error message popped up, so this option did not work.
I then tried the second suggestion and chose the repair option but as before there is no sign of a repair database grogress indicator. Where would I be able to see this and what does it look like. I can't see any evidence of anything happening on my screen.
I have also just tried the first option that comes up in the pop up box where you have to enter your password, this resulted in the same error message.
I don"t know what to do.
I don't really want to have to go for the third option where you have to rebuild you data base - Would this result in loosing images?

How can I draw using the Brush tool and a touch screen?

I need to be able to use the touch screen on my Lenovo Yoga (running Windows 8) to draw using the Brush tool in Photoshop CS6. I'm able to do that in other programs, including Microsoft OneNote and Paint. For some reason, Photoshop will only interpret touching and dragging on the screen as an attempt to pan or scroll, even when the Brush tool is selected. I bought Photoshop - and it isn't cheap - specifically in order to draw using the touch screen, which I need to be able to do for my job. Is there some driver I can download to fix this problem, or some obscure setting I can change?
I would also like to note that Adobe's technical support line exhibits a degree of infuriating unreachability equalled only by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. When I called to ask for help with this problem, I was told the expected wait time was between 10 and 14 minutes. After waiting for 50 minutes, I gave up in disgust. Adobe's products are powerful, but what passes for customer service is an utter disgrace.

There's gotta be a way but I just use gimp for touch drawing, save it off as a png, edit in ps or ai.

How to fix???
Thanks!

Hello,
On CS4 with RADEON 9800 XT card and 256 MB DDR SGRAM/SDRAM and with AGP 8x capability and latest drivers (as of Nov.10) I can't get the Open GL feature to work (it is blanked out in Preferences) and it also says that "No GPU options available with Photoshop Standard" !!!
Is this the case? I can't use the rotate tool, etc because I'm using PS standard and not Enhanced?
Thanks, Dan

I am having trouble using the clone tool and eraser tool.

I am not able to see my brush get bigger as I increase the size. Once I clone an area, it selects what I want to clone, but it won't paste it on the photo. I cannot also use my eraser tool. It does not show the line that usually is shown in white before it erases the area. I am working on a background copy.

Suggest that you reset all tools to default.
Look for this box icon with lines in it on a tool's option bar. This is for PSE v. 12 and perhaps for v.11 (I'm not certain about 11)
For earlier versions of PSE, look for a little arrow, top left, on the option bar

HSL Panel cannot control individual colors in the photos. Using the target tool and the colors change in the entire photo.?

HSL Panel. When using the targeted tool I cannot control individual colors in the photo. In Luminance the entire photo is changing not just one area?

Yes, that's the way it works. The target tool is simply a way to pick a colour to modify, but all colours like that one, no matter where they are in the image, will be modified.

I get three icons (IE) using the move tool and other tools as well

I'm using PS CS4 with windows 7and with different tools my pointer shows three different icons, also when I try to resize ctrl+shift it won't resize to scale. I can't figure whats wrong I've even re installed PS. I have a dead line tonight and somthing is messed up please help. Thanks in advance.
Randy

It's a little hard to determine whether you're getting wrong/multiple mouse pointers or what from your description... Can you capture the screen showing the problem, and post it here?
As a first suggestion, check to make sure your video drivers are up to date.

Feedback on the potential use of the tool and about the Task Life Cycle

Hi
The task statuses does not considers some statues. We have worked on the task lifecycle for workflows (see image below). You are missing: Created, offered, allocated before getting the category of not started because otherwise your problem might be to not have resources availables.
Once In Progress a task can be suspended/resumed, delegated.Failed or Cancelled, skipped. Once a task is Completed, At Risk and Failed.:
We have been working on workflow modeling for developing UIs. The WorkflowLab project has a lot of potential if we imagine an automated process to generate Flex (Information Systems) applications based on Workflows. Imagine that the granular details of a task are mapped onto Flex UIs.
Have you ever consider this potential of using a workflow model as a design of an Information system?

If you need further information, this is a site with publicly available papers of this topic.
http://www.isys.ucl.ac.be/bchi/members/jgu/publications.htm
The main topic is on how from a workflow model the User Interfaces of the system modeled can be generated but special atention has been paid to task modeling.
If we can be of any help we would be very pleased to collaborate with your project.
