CS5 and bandaid tool problems

With a .pdf open, I select bandaid tool, then alt click for a sourcepoint, but rather than my cursor letting me repair the image, it turns into a handtool, and my image moves around the screen! I've made sure that I've got the latest drivers for CS5, and since I'm using a Wacom tablet, I downloaded the latest drivers there also. Any ideas?

Assuming by the "bandaid" tool you mean the Healing Brush (opposed to the Spot Healing Brush, which also uses a bandaid in its icon)...
Try this:
1. Click the Window - Clone Source menu.
2. Check the [ ] Clipped box.
3. Try using the Healing Brush again.

Crop and Marqee Tool problems on CS4

When first launching CS4, the cropping and marquee tools work just like they should, but after a while of use, suddenly I can no long drag the selection to any size I want. I only seem to be able to select small sections using either the marquee or crop tool. If I restart PS it will work fine again for awhile and then fail again. I suspect it may be a memory problem. I have 4.5 gig or ram and am using 75% for PS. Anyone know what is causing this?
And by the way, what the heck happened to phone technical support? I had a phone support contract with Adobe, and the phone number for it has been disconnected. The new number provides no way to access that contract, and waiting times exceed 30 minutes!! What happened, Adobe going out of business?

Clear the tool.

Optimal Hard Drive Configuration for Premiere Pro CS5 and Pro Tools

I am in the process of upgrading a workstation that is used primarily for multi-track audio recording in Pro Tools to use the following Adobe CS5 products for production of promotional videos in HDV (and AVCHD for the web) as well as printed marketing materials for bands and musicians: Premiere Pro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator and Soundbooth.
Since Premiere Pro is probably the most demanding application of the group, I have been studying the suggested hardware configurations on this forum with great interest, particularly HARM's suggestions (including his Generic Guideline for Disk Setup) to determine which hard drives to purchase and the optimal manner in which to configure them.
I am upgrading an HP Z800 with dual quad core 2.44 GhZ processors with hyperthreading (16 virtual cores), 12 GB of memory and an overclocked GeForce GTX 470. Without setting up a RAID configuration (which I cannot afford at the moment), I would like to use the 4 available HDD bays in the Z800 in the optimal manner for Premier Pro, using currently available drives. I am currently considering purchasing a 300GB VelociRaptor to use as my C drive because of the extended load times and demands placed on the drive by ProTools and the associated Waves plug-ins.
I would appreciate suggestions to improve my following plan: C (300GB WD VelociRaptor) for OS and Programs; D (1 TB WD Black Caviar) for Media and Projects; E (1 250 GB WD Black Caviar) for Pagefile (approx. 18 GB) and Media Cache; and E (2 TB WD Black Caviar) for Previews, Exports and Pro Tools audio files.
I have great respect for the knowledge of the members of this forum and eagerly await your suggestions.

I very much appreciate the responses to my email because I know that all of your time is valuable and that you have chosen to use some of that valuable time to help an unknown individual. This forum is remarkable because of the wealth of knowledge available and the willingness of so many to assist others.
I now wish to narrow my questions to save you time and so that I can get specific advice. I may not have not been clear that I have already upgraded to the HP Z800 with dual quad core processors and overclocked GTX 470, primarily for the improved performance it will provide in ProTools. My question now is how to optimize its performance for Premiere Pro CS5. Based upon my research, I am considering the following two upgrades, but I am open to other suggestions if they would provide better results at a similar cost
1. I am considering purchasing a 600GB WD VelociRaptor ( WD6000HLXH) for my C drive on which I would place OS (Windows 7, 64 Bit) and programs in an effort to reduce loading times of large programs. I have two questions: (1) Are members of the forum seeing a significant improvment in program loading times with the VelociRaptor because I am still not convinced that the price performance of SSD's justifies their use; and (2) There are so many models of VelociRaptors now that I want to be certain that I am purchasing the best version for my needs. In addition to the usual 10000 RPM speed, this model has 32MB Cache and a 3.5" form factor as well as a SATA 6.0GB/s interface (which I doubt my motherboard can take advantage of but it might extend the useful life of the drive with future configurations).
2. I currently have available for installation in the Z800 the following drives: (1) WD 2TB Black Caviar; (1) WD 1TB Black Caviar; (2) Hitachi 1TB. I believe that the Z800 can accept up to 5 SATA hard drives which I will have if I purchase the Velociraptor. Although I am reasonably knowledeable when it comes to hardware, I have never set up a RAID configuration. Therefore, it would be helpful if someone could recommend one of the various RAID configurations and brieflyexplain why it would seem to be best for my needs. I can then focus my research on understanding that one configuration.
I was planning to follow Scott's suggestion for my current 3 drives: OS and programs on C (WD 600 GBVelociRaptor), media and projects on D (WD 1TB Black Caviar), export files and Pro Tools files (all live musician tracks, no samples) on E (WD 2TB Black Caviar). However, I have been reading about the benefits of a RAID configuration so I am interested in further suggestions now that I have clarified my questions.
Thank you all for your help.

Rescue and Recovery tool - problem with recovering files stored on USB memory stick

I recently had to use the Lenovo Care Rescue and Recovery tool to restore my 300 N200 to a previously backed up state.
As part of the Rescue and Recovery I selected the option to save user data in My Documents to a USB memory stick before restoring to the backup. This seemed to be successful (tool confirmed that 300MB of files were saved). But when I wanted to restore the files from the USB memory stick back to the laptop none of the folders/files is visible.
I checked the memory status of the USB memory stick and this confirms that 300MB space is taken up - but no files visible!!!
Can anyone help??

Bounding box and selection tool problems (CS5.5 Illustrator OSX)

When I select objects by dragging arrow tool (i.e. logos, headlines, etc.) I often have a problem that other objects are also selected (images, things that are not visible or not actually there) and I can't unselect them easily to get just my selection of objects and be able to resize them by dragging corners. It's like you have to scale everything including the weird extra invisible items across the page somewhere. Sometimes if it's an image that gets selected in addition I can click on and off it to get just my selected objects. And then sometimes the bounding box does not work at all and I can't resize my selected objects by dragging the corners (scale tool works though). Showing and hiding bounding box from drop down menu does nothing. This seems random but happens all the time. It also happened in CS5 on a different Mac computer. Anybody run into this? I know other designers in the office have experienced this. Is there a weird selection preference I need to set? Should I try resetting preferences? Could it be Ram issues? (Sometimes have Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign open all at once)
I've just been dealing with it up to this point but I am really ready for a fix for this issue. It seems buggy.

Type tool anchor and pen tool problems CS4

I have been working in In-design for my classes and everything is working fine. But recently I needed to do some work in Illustrator but when I opened the program up, some of my tools seems to be slightly bugged or something.
The type tool will not make the anchor where I initially click. It creates the anchor around the center point of the type box. This is really annoying because if you have a specific grid, it will not line up to it. I have never adjusted this I don't think because now I have no clue on how to fix it!
Also, my pen tool seems to be messed up. I first create the starting point, but then when I make the second point and try to drag out the node arms to make a curve, it only has one arm! Thus, the curve never is created, so I can't draw with the pen tool, therefore I fail my classes... haha
I have a big project starting soon and any help with this odd problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for any potential help
-- Jordan

To try to make things more clear:
When I click on the type tool, the line tool, or the rectangle tool (any tool used by clicking on a starting point 'anchor' and dragging it) if I click and drag to the bottom right, it creates a rectangle that around the center point of the bounding box. Its really freaking weird. I've asked all my design friends and they don't know either. BUT! If I click to make the initial anchor, then drag to the upper left it works as the type tool bounding box usually does. Meaning, I can make the box to conform to grid lines, or the like. The rectangle tool does this as well.
Now, the line tool is messed up as well, but a little different. When I select the anchor point and then start to drag (click then drag to the right) the anchor does not stay in place. IT GOES OFF TO THE LEFT. It is so annoying. So If I'm trying to make a line that goes from the top of the page down, the line will go down with my cursor as I drag down, but it will also go up at the same rate. Its real dumb. Any help would be great.
As for the pen tool:
I'm not a new user to Illustrator. I've been using it for years now and never seen this problem. I showed it to my professor and he had no clue. I have used CS3 and CS5 as well and both operate normally and much different from mine. I can't exactly explain it for it is that weird, but if there is any way I can reset the tool, or put it back to its defaults that would help a lot.
Thanks in advance,
Jordan

CS5 , the clone tool problem!

I have noticed that in
version 12 of CS5 that the clone tool no longer accepts negative values, so on cant clone a
missing limb without having to copy, paste & filp. WHY?

Sorry Im not certain I understand your point? Are you saying this
oversight will not exist in the final release version, if you are then
how can you Know? Otherwise my point is to highlight an issue which can be debated and corrected if need be

Does running Photoshop CS5 and CS6 cause problems with plugins?

I have Phootshop CS5 (32 bit) and have also installed CS6 (64 bit) on the same PC. After installing CS6, and reinstalling the plugins, many plugins do not run on CS but continue to work on CS5? In some cases (Topaz for example), some filters load and others do not. Any ideas?

Thanks
Worked!

CS5 and aspect ratio problem

I am running Master Collection CS5. I have AVCHD clips from from two cameras. One camera is .mod and the other is 720p H.264 (MOV). The .mov show up 16x9 but the .mod show up as 720x480 (4.3). Window Media Player plays them in the correct wide screen format but the properties in Premiere are 720x480. I guess the answer is that adobe doesnt support .mod files but maybe I am missing something.

What you're missing for sure is the fact that this forum is for suite related questions. My assumption is that you need help with Premiere Pro. Please post in that forum.

Photomerge and other tools problems

Photomerge (panorama) and Open as layers in Photoshop, will not work from either Bridge CC or Lightroom LR5 and Photoshop CC on my iMac (2013), but work perfectly on my Macbook Pro 13" (2009). Both OS's and Applications are virtually identical and both worked perfectly a month ago. Merge to panorama sends the message "documents must be saved before they can be merged". "Open as layers in Photoshop" doesn't do anything. I have proceeded with all the forms of corrections (preferences, uninstall and re-install, etc. I even bought a new iMac and installed Photoshop CC, Bridge CC and Lightroom 5 on a new clean system. The results are the same. Other people seem to share this problem, but no one from Adobe seems to interested. Any help - anywhere?

Problem with Bridge CS5 and Tools Photoshop Batch

When I select several images in Bridge CS5 and go to Tool>Photoshop>Batch and try an run an Action, I receive an error message asking for the Install disk. Bridge at that point freezes until I put in the install disk and then it runs the batch action fine.
This is very annoying as I always have to have the disk in my DVD Drive.
Any points would be welcomed.
Thanks,

Go to preferences/startup scripts and make sure there is a check mark for Bridge and Photoshop scripts.

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.

Problem With the Marquee and Crop Tools

I have just upgraded to Photoshop CS5.
Whenever I drag out a rectangular marquee, elliptical marquee, or crop lines, while in the process of dragging, it draws the selection ("marching ants") from the center-out. It's as though I am holding down the option key, even when I am not. It's particularly annoying.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is this some kind of glitch? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

You know, the more I use it, the more I realize that it's all sorts of things beyond the Marquee and Crop tools. It's "glitching" all over the place, and, you're right: it is doing things as though modifier keys like shift or option are being held down, even thought they're not.
As for the OS version: I haven't noticed anything weird happening yet on my work computer, which is still 10.6.4. The one that has the problem is my laptop, which is new, and it started out with CS5 on 10.6.5. So it seems consistent with the theory that 10.6.5 is part of the problem.
I logged out and then back in, as per some suggestions I derived from past threads, and that seems to have fixed it. At least for now. Folks are saying, though, that it is only temporary until the issue returns.

Brush and smudge tools painfully slow in CS5

I use CS5 on quad core 2.26ghz macpro with 32 gb RAM. It's a clean system, both cs5 and os10.6.6 updated. No extra plug-ins or fonts. I do have an extra video card installed for my raid 5 system. Only use photoshop on this computer. Using the healing brush or smudge tool is painfully slow. also moving layers around are slow. I work on 10-15GB files. My assistant works on my old G5 with 8gb of ram and since it's not an intel he's still working in CS2. Using the healing brush on a 4GB file is faster on the G5 in CS2 than on my Quadcore in CS5. What is going on here? how can I speed things up?
I have cache levels set to 7, cache tile sice to 1024.

i have found that any mac pro i use - not all set up the same- if they have a nvidia card after a few hours of working there will be a slowdown of painting, cloning, smudging and screen redraw. I always have open gl off. adobe engineers have been helping now and then but no one has a solution. on the windows forum someone reportedly adjusted their video card settings to fix it. but on a mac we have to option to do that - that i know of. it is a big problem for me when using CS5 that I use CS3 when possible.

Wacom Cintiq Right Click Brush Tool Problem in CS5

Hello Everyone,
So I've been trying out the new CS5 and was excited to try out the new brush menu on my cintiq. When I tried it out it was awesome but when I right clicked using either the mouse or pen, the quick access brush menu invokes on the laptop monitor rather than near the cursor like with other tools or other versions of photoshop. It is really annoying to have to drop the pen in order to adjust the brush. Totally slows you down. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I've searched around a bit and have yet to hear anyone complain about this. I suspect it might be the same for dual monitor setups? Thus far just CS5 has this glitch with the brush tool.
Any help with this is much appreciated.
Thanks!
~Carlos

I'm having the same issues as you describe. CS5 (64-bit) and my Cintiq seem to be working well, except for the annyance of the brush window location... I'd like it to "pop up" on the Cintique where I'm doing all of my active work. Unfortunately, the pop-up window will only open on the main (non-Cintique) monitor.
I've searched the web, the Adobe forums, and the Wacom forums, but very little information is available on this topic. I would think that there would be a lot more activity on this subject, but perhaps there's a work-around that we haven't found?
Any help is definitely appreciated!
