CS6 color pallet, brushes, and shapes not working.

I have been having issues with my shape tool not working at all a message pops up saying that "Cannot use tool due to program error," but does not give an error code, then the same thing started happening with my brush tools and the color pallet will not switch colors unless I close the program even then it's 50/50 that the colors switch. I recently uninstalled then re-installed Photoshop CS6 and it is still happening. I have noticed that Kaspersky Security 2013 keeps blocking the Raw Camera updates, could it be messing up the entire program or is this an internal CS6 program issue. Please help I want to get back to my artwork I'm so far behind.

User preferences survive un-install and re-install and are often the cause of Photoshop problems.  You also provide very like pertinent information other the you have problems use CS6 which is the buggiest version of Photoshop ever released. I could not use ir fir the first five month that I had ir.  It took Adobe that long to fix some of the bugs the were biting.  The First update fixed 506 core issues according to Adobe Blog.   You Also noted the security programs cause problems with updates. Adobe suggest turning off such security when updating. When Adobe puts out useless error message like failed because of program error you need to see if you can reproduce the error is a repeatable way to help point to what is causing the error.
First try resetting you Photoshop Preferences.  When Photoshop start acting up the is one of the first thing to try before resorting to re-install.   Adoeb evet has a start-up shortcut key to reset your preferences  Shift+Ctrl|CND+Alt|Option

  • Color lookup shapers and preluts not working as expected.

    The color lookup adjustment layers do not seem to recognise shaper or pre-luts. Has anyone been able to get this working?  Is there any documentation or specifications on this topic?  I seem to be just getting the very basic "how to use a color lookup" catagories.
    Thanks in advance

    We have tried .3dl but the files were not showing up to select and load.  .cube seems to be visible.  Is there any documentation on what photoshop is actually doing to the image to be visible on the monitor..ie gamma 2.2 adjustments on the incoming files .icc profile?

  • PSE9, Mac OS X, Smart brush and Effects not working

    I have PSE6 for Mac OS X, and I have d/l the trial version of PSE9, to see if it's worth the upgrade. In PSE9 when I bring up the Smart Brush tool, there are no presets or options, just an empty box, and there is a message saying I can't use the tool because I haven't selected any options. I have tried resetting the tool, and all tools, but those actions don't help. In addition, the Effects box is empty. Anyone know how to access the options, or is this a bug with the Mac version?
    I note that both these issues have been brought up before in this forum, but so far no-one has provided any answers.

    Hi Richard
    The tool should work without Elements+ but some users have experienced problems with missing functions and drop down menu on the options bar both on Windows and Mac.
    I’m sorry a fresh install does not appear to work as it has cured some peoples problems.
    I know it’s no consolation but the tool is not that smart. It simply adds whistles and bells to the quick selection tool by automating adjustment layers/blending modes. It’s then possible to make further tweaks to the adjustment layer. PSE6 is capable of doing the same.
    I hardly ever use the smart brush tool personally, but the Layer Mask and Content Aware healing brush was sufficient for me to buy PSE9.

  • HP Color Laserjet 3550 and Leopard not working!PLEASE HELP!!

    Please excuse me if this has been answered, but after being on the phone for 2 hours with HP, and looking through 100 support articles I am at the point of no return when it comes to frustration.
    I have an Imac that I bought 6 months ago. Today my very generous brother bought me the new Leopard. I was very excited after I installed it. It was afterall another reason to play and explore. Then I found a bug.... I am a graphic artist and I went to print out a design for a client and it would not print. No matter what I tried my Imac that was printing to my HP COLOR LASERJET 3550, less then 2 hours ago, was no longer printing. Everytime I send something to print, the printer would say "printer connection opening" then it would say "fatal error......" and pause the job again.
    PLEASE HELP WHAT DO I DO!!!! I AM VERY UPSET AND VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!

    I just bought my MacBook Pro last week. I have been trying off and on for 3 days to get it to print to my HP Color Laserjet 3550 through apple talk and keep getting a message: The Application Printer Proxy Quit Unexpectedly.
    I tried the generic post script printer driver. I no longer got the message but it didn't print either. I am at my wits end.
    I was going to upgrade my IMac to Leopard and I sure am glad I read your post. I now will not upgrade because my IMac prints just fine.
    So I at least learned something here. Maybe Leopard isn't the best system yet.

    Working with Windows platform, using Photoshop CS4, Brush Tool is not working with Layer Mask, how can I resolve this challenge?

    Also, do you have any Selections active - maybe hidden?
    When you have your Layer Mask's Channel active, do your Colors change to black and white?

  • LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly

    Hello, I'm having an issue with a LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly. I have followed the instructions to reset the printer, but now am unable to select 'English' as my language because every time I select the 'English' option 'Spanish' is selected. I am then given two options to select 'Si' or 'No' both of which can not be selected on the touch screen?
    Anybody know of a way round this?

    Hi @dnhowes ,
    I see that you are having issues with the touch screen not working correctly. I will do my best to help you.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Was it the Nvram reset back to factory settings that you tried or a hard reset?
    Try selecting the option on the display a little higher above the icon to see if that helps. Some touch screens are finicky.
    I find that on the Lab printers when I am selecting different menus.

    Hi, Dave.
    If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers.  I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
    I hope that clears up the issue for you.

  • Wireless network and bluetooth not working on touchsmart 600

    This has not worked since day 1 and I have been using wired internet.
    I really need to setup a home network and need to use wireless.
    Research on the net has led me to belive I should have HP WIRELESS ASSISTANT on my machine... is that correct?
    Everytime I try to download it is seem to be for a notepad... mine is a touchsmart desktop...
    Please advise  

    Hi coffee12345,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I have read your post on your wireless keyboard and mouse not working with your desktop, and I would be happy to help you! To begin, I need to ask you a few introductory questions:
    What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop?
    What version of Windows are you using?
    Is this a recent issue, or has it been like this since day one?
    Are you using a USB hub to connect your peripherals or is it directly plugged into the computer?
    Please re-post with the necessary information, and I look forward to your reply!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Keyboard and Trackpad Not Working; Mac OSX Unexpectedly Quit?

    Hey everyone... I think I may need to stop by the Apple store to figure this one out, but I just wanted to make sure if there was anything I could do on my own first.
    So basically, on my MacBook Pro that I got nearly two years ago (late September of 2006) for the past month and a half has had problems. In the beginning, the mouse and keyboard would freeze up and just not work. Restarting the comp did nothing. Some times were worse than others (once it was frozen for 1.5 hours). Then it stopped, every now and then having a few freezes (sometimes when the keyboard froze but the trackpad was still good), but two days ago I had my comp not hooked up to an adapter. When the battery got low, the comp froze. I went to bed and closed the laptop, and the next day it was still frozen. I unfroze it, but then it happened again (I'm pretty sure the same situation... almost no battery)... and it is still frozen, even after multiple restarts.
    Also, during the time when freezes weren't as bad, sometimes the keyboard would get stuck on one key, usually the volume up button (very annoying)... then I was told to restart the comp. When I came back, I was told that Mac OS X had unexpectedly quit.
    Sorry that was a lot to read, but any help is really appreciated! Thanks!
    Not sure if this is also important, but I did spill some water on the keyboard a very long time ago (late December '06)... it wouldn't take this long for that to cause the problem, would it?

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
