CS4 - Windows XP - Freezing Hand Tool

It seems like all I am doing is posting questions on the forum but I really do try other things before posting...most times!
I recently posted a query about Out Of Bounds creation. I found a tutorial I was doing it. At a certain point the Hand Tool, which I wasn't even using would come up and I couldn't change the tool to do some free transformation on an object created using the stroke feature.
If I walk away from the job for a few minutes it seems to clear itself out and I can work again but only for a short time until it flushes again. I am using new equipment with CS4 in Windows XP. The computer performance shows 1-3% of CPU usage and I have 4 gig of RAM...not not much else is open either.
I then shut down, re-opened PhotoShop, Opened a NEW 11 x8.5 300dpi for my background, PLACED my photo I would work with, created a new layer, moved it to the position I wanted, and BINGO - Frozen hand tool for about 10-15 minutes.
Any thoughts on how I can avoid this or SOLUTION to not having it happen again. It's a bit hare to work this way.
Thanks for any insight....I'm still transitioning from Corel but things like this don't help!

Thanks again John. Part of the problem maybe the size of file I am working with as well so in reading other topics I have increased my RAM usage as well.
If you know about masking can I remain on this thread as ask(?)...I have gone through the tortures of the damned (that's one of the best ways to learn) playing with the masking in PhotoShop, quite a bit different than Corel. I think I have it pretty well figured out except for one thing.
If I create a mask and want to adjust pixel by pixel I go to the Quick Selection Tool knowing I can either add or subtract. I set my brush size to 1, Hardness to 100, Spacing to 1% hoping that when I click on the target pixel it will execute the + or -. Too many times I don't get just the target pixel, but an adjoining one as well....not good because the redundant vocabulary comes back!
Any thoughts on how to get JUST the target pixel in with + or -?
Thanks again.

  • Hand tool keeps taking over.

    On CS4 XP.  The hand tool has become the only tool that photoshop uses.  I can select the other tools until I am blue in the face but the hand tool is the only one that shows up.  its not just displaying the hand tool, it is functioning as the hand tool, even when trying to do things like resize (ctrl-T).  Restarted photoshop does not help, but rebooting does.  But soon after a reboot, I get back to only having access to the hand tool again.  Is there something that I can do to reset the tools when this happens?

    Your space bar is sticking.  Tap it a few times, and if it persists clean out the cookie crumbs.

  • PS CS4 - Hand tool/panning lag after updating OS to Mavericks

    I'm on an iMac, from early 2009. With a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory. I'm using Photoshop CS4, and ever since my upgrade to Mavericks the hand tool has a bad lag to it. I've tried updating Java runtime, disabling/enabling OpenGL Drawing, flick panning with no luck. What's happening? I'd really prefer not to reinstall Photoshop, but it's slowing my work down so much that I'm almost willing.

  • Issues with Photoshop CS4 and Spacebar/Hand tool

    I am pretty sure this is not the other hand tool problem I have read about. What happens is when I want to move around a document I click the spacebar to get the hand tool, in previous versions of PS i could do this and when I let go of the spacebar the cursor goes back to the previous tool I was using. In cs4 it doesn't go back to the previous tool unless I hit the spacebar again. This also hinders my zooming in and zooming out, I have to click the space bar let go and then click either the ctrl or alt button alone to zoom. It used to be that i could hit space+ctrl and let go and it would go to the previous tool.
    I have PS cs4 on WinXp. I have checked every place i could in the prefs and in the keyboard shortcuts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is really hindering my workflow.

    That is a good idea, but the keyboard is fairly new and I didn't have a problem with this on cs3 last week with the same keyboard.
    It could have just become noticeable!
    Other than that you could experiment with different setting in OpenGL or look at keyboard repeat rate in the Control Panel applet.

  • Moving a document view with the hand tool is locked at edge of window

    I know this must be simple but cannot figure it out!  
      When I try and move a corner of my open document with the hand tool to the center of the document window in CS5  when zoomed out, it stops at the edges and will not move inward any further. It is sometimes more convenient to be able to work on a zoomed in corner of a document when it is centered in the document window. If I go to the rotate tool and set a slight angle, I can then move the document anywhere in the window at any magnification! Is there a setting that is locking the document at the edge of the screen when zoomed out?
    Thanks, David

    Well indeed that does work. I don't know why it isn't documented. Nice catch rbin
    So open Regedit, navigate to the CS6 directory [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\60.0] or the CS5 directory [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0]
    Then from Regedit's Edit menu, select New > DWORD (32 bit) Value.
    Name  it and enter 2 as the Hex value. Open Photoshop and you have Overscrolling in both 32 and 64 bit versions. The key can always be deleted if you change your mind.

  • Windows 7, CS4 Media Encoder freezing and crashing upon clicking "Start Queue" - every sequence!

    Windows 7, CS4 Media Encoder freezes when queue starts with sequences from Premiere. However, sequences opened from Media Encoder's "Add Sequence" export fine. Have re-installed (without first un-installing), issue is ongoing. I have several important deadlines fast approaching, please help! Media cache has been cleared (both automatically and manually), computer has been defragged and scanned for disk errors... I am absolutely stumped!

    I've checked the anti-virus (I didn't think of that!), but it doesn't seem to make any change.
    I've had Window Task Manager running while trying to export, it would seem that the problem occures when PProHeadless.exe opens. If I manually close it right before clicking "Start Queue", AME doesn't freeze until PProHeadless.exe re-starts once more.
    Any information on forums regarding PProHeadless.exe seem more to do with an error message, not that the application itself is causing problems. I've tried multiple different sequences, all with different footage, different types of files and all with the same result.
    Would a complete reformat or Windows and CS4 be the only answer? I dread the thought but I'm getting desperate.

  • Suddenly my space bar is no longer giving me the hand tool to move around on my artwork window.  How do I reset this?

    Suddenly my space bar is no longer giving me the hand tool to move around on my artwork window.  How do I reset this?

    Thanks for getting back. I know my answers seem too obvious at times, but never leave out the simple ones just in case.
    So lets look at two things: Keyboard Shortcuts and System Preferences.
    Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts opens a dialog box. Press your Option key, and the Cancel button turns into a Reset button to get shortcuts back to defaults. Clicking on Reset may fix it.
    The second is Preference resets. Hold down cmd-opt-shift and start Photoshop. It will ask if you wish to delete the settings file. Answering "Yes" many times clears up the problem.

    Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

  • Hand tool in CS4

    I was wondering if there is a way to use the hand tool (or spacebar) even if the entire image is visible, like you could do in previous versions. One might wonder why you would want to pan if you can already see the entire image. This comes up when one of your layers is bigger than the main image. If you try to Transform the layer, but the transform handles are off the edge of the screen, you need the hand tool. Otherwise you have to zoom out even further to get at the handles.

    You can change from "Standard screen mode" to "Full screen mode with menu bar" or "Full screen mode" by using the icon on the tool bar. Or, as in all versions of PS, press F on your keyboard to toggle between the modes. You can then use the space bar to pan the image in both of the Full screen modes. A useful thing to remember!

  • Spacebar Shortcut: Hand Tool Not Showing and Not Working

    When working on a document (in PS cs6) and pressing the spacebar to quickly access the hand tool it doesn't do anything.
    What I've tried so far:
    resetting the presets
    change the shortcut key (wasn't possible)
    reinstall
    googled
    Any suggestions ?
    PS: I'm aware there is a kinda similar problem for windows users which has been discussed here but there are slight differences between my problem and the one for windows users.

    Try repeatedly hitting the H key and the Space Bar a number of times, each in quick succession.
    I haven't gotten that since CS4, and at that time it was an older version of MS Entourage running in the background that was triggering the disabling the H key and the Spacebar to call up the hand.
    If it doesn't work, you haven't damaged anything and lost only a few seconds. 

  • Need Solution to Program getting stuck on hand tool

    Occasionally the curser becomes stuck on the hand or move tool.  I can click on other tools but they do not respond.  The system is not completley
    frozen, just the curser/tool.  The only way to fix it so far is to restart the computer.  Plus it is happening more often now.
    I really need a solution since I fear I am spending more time. Restarting computer than actual work!

    Not a reply to your problem but coincidently, starting yesterday, I experienced the same problem. I am using CS4, have a iMac10.6.8, and the icon tool is the eraser (not the hand tool) that comes up. The only good thing is that it lets you save (unlike a true freeze) before you have to quit the application and re-start. The file I am working on is 1.56G and it has taken over 10 hours to try and merge layers together to bring the size down to its present 1.06G size. The "freeze" happens every 5-10 minutes.

  • 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 .

  • PSE 7: Hand tool shows up for all tools

    Using PSE 7 and have used prior versions and CS2 but never saw this before.
    Trying to crop after entering the sizes and the hand tool appears instead of the crop box. Then, when I try others like type or brush, there is only the hand tool so these can't be used either.
    Restarted PSE, clicked on the hand tool hoping it was a toggle. Nothing works.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Check under Image>Mode to be sure there's nothing funky going on. Also, are these photos on your hard drive?
    If all that is okay, try deleting prefs:
    Quit the editor then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings. You do.
