CS6 Erodible dry media brushes out of alignment

I'd be grateful if someone could confirm a problem I am seeing in using the new erodible dry media brushes in CS6. The problem is that the boundaries of an image re-created with the Pattern Stamp Tool and a new dry media brush, say the Square Charcoal brush, are just off alignment with the edges in an outline drawing of the same image made on a layer above using the Glowing Edges filter. This means that as you paint back with the Square Charcoal brush the image is just shifted a bit to the right when look at through the Glowing Edges (in Multiply blend mode) outline drawing (you need to invert and desaturate the Glowing edges drawing to see a black on white drawing).
This problem gets less noticeable as the size of the erodible dry media brush is decreased and does not seem to happen at all with other Photoshop brushes like a standard Hard Round or Chalk brush. This problem occurs when the "Aligned" box is selected in the Tool Options bar so a failure to select that option is not the issue.
Are others seeing this and is there a way round it (other than not using the erodible brushes)? It doesn't seem to matter at what tilt the brushes are held.
Thanks.

Here's what i did as a test on windows 8 x64 photoshop cs6 using a mouse and a tablet:
1. Defined the opened image as a pattern (Edit>Define Pattern)
2. Duplicated the background layer, ran the glowing edges filter, inverted the layer and then Image>Adjustments>Desaturate.
3. Added a new blank layer above, changed the layer blend mode to multiply, chose the pattern stamp tool with the Square Charcoal brush at the default settings except for changing the size to 150 px.
image before:
image after using the pattern stamp tool:
For me it looks pretty much aligned., but i don't have cs6 on a mac to test.
I also tried with the glowing edges layer on top set multiply and the pattern stamp layer below and got the same results.

CS5 Media Brushes stop working

Windows 7 64-bit | Photoshop CS5 | Wacom Intuos4 (driver up to date)
Happily painting away, when I switch to another program, be it Skype or anything else, and then come back to PS my CS5 Media Brush no longer has pressure sensitivity, etc - just like how a bruch behaves with using only the mouse.
The easy fix is to again switch out of PS, and then back, but you have to be careful not to have the pen on the tablet giving it input but rather wait until Photoshop is fully maximized again if minimized or the brush won't regain it's functionality. Do it right though, and it will regain tablet sensitivites.
How do you prevent this terrible behavior?

I'm getting this too from time to time. I'm not sure about the exact cause and if it is Photoshop or the Wacom driver causing this, but in my case it seems to be happening when using Photoshop after the system (Win 7) is put to sleep.
Are you using Wacom? Try to see if this will still happen if you don't use the pen but the mouse when you use the other apps. Are you using more than one pen?

HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw Printing Out of Alignment

Images and color text print out of alignment.
The issue started the first day we had the print. It has taken me a while to get into diagnosing it but I have tried the following:
I have tried replacing the toner cartridges with new ones (expensive). The problem occured even with the original starter cartridges.
I have tried a full printer reset.
I have tried leaving the printer unplugged from power for 24 hours.
I have tried several alignment features within the printer menu.
Printing black alone is fine. All other colors do not line up with each other or with the black. Creates a 3D-ish kind of effect.
The printers quality report shows all colors areprinting fine but not aligned to one another.
I have included scans of a part of a rainbow print that illustrates the misalignment as well as the quality report page.
This question was solved.

Thanks for letting me know James_LAG.
At this point it does look like a hardware issue with the printer. Please call our technical support and inquire about a replacement printer, at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP.

Crop marks out of alignment on double sided pdf

I have an Indesign CS4 two page document I have saved as a press pdf with crops. The client has just told me the double sided proof has come back with the crop marks out of alignment (offset vertically). Isn't this something the printrer can easily sort, or should I be setting it up differently in Indesign??
Cheers
Jacqui

You should set it up as facing pages if it is double sided.
I don't see a reason to do that for a two-page document. It makes it harder to scroll between the pages since thay are not vertically aligned on the pasteboard and it should have no effect on things like crops.
And yes, screen shots of the page in ID and the PDF would help a lot....

My web pages appear out of alignment on small screens.

Hi,
My web pages are correct on my large monitor but, the right side of the pages go out of alignment on smaller screens such as my laptop or even if I reduce the window size of my monitor. I used a 2 col, hdr, ftr, liquid layout in html 5. I did a browser check and fixed the suggested errors but it didn't fix the alignment thing. The site is http://www.thelandingivylea.com

You have the wrong design for a liquid layout. Since you certainly want to retain your design, give the DIVs fixed widths.

Spry menu out of alignment in IE

Not sure if this is the right place ... I am new to Dreamweaver and CSS but I have created a spry menu (horizontal) and everything looks good in all browsers except IE, the main container which is green is out of alignment with the menu bar at the top. I have been fiddling with this for weeks. Any help would be much appreciated. The link is as follow:

thanks.

PS please reply in language that a rookie can understand.

Hi Gramps
Thank you … I took a look at the web address you sent me, but couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to do with it! Then I tried setting the individual widths of the menu items and this has improved the appearance in IE to the point where I can live with it. What puzzles me though is why, if the cumulative total of the menu items measure 946 px and the ‘main‘ div also measures 946, they don’t exactly match up exactly lengthwise.
Also your comment about not using ‘absolute’ positioned divs … I have been learning Dreamweaver from the Adobe manual and it recommends that you use absolute positioning for the ‘main’ div and so I thought everything else within the container (other than the container itself which I have set to relative) should be absolute. Are you saying that I should not use absolute for the main div or are you just referring to the menu div? If I don’t use absolute what should I use?
Thanks so much for your assistance, most appreciated.

Text shifting out of alignment when previewed in Muse or in web browser

Hi,
I am having issues with some title text not staying where I want it to. Here are some images: http://imgur.com/a/ZX6z9
The first image shows how I have the page set up in the planner. The text in question is the title "Art Portfolio". If you look at the other two images, the second one being Muse's preview function and the third being in Safari, you will see that the title has shifted down a little in relation to the rest of the site. It is easily noticed because it throws the title out of alignment with the menu.
Anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue? I can compensate by moving it a bit higher in the planner, but I would very much prefer that the software worked as intended rather than me having to intervene.
Thanks for any help!
Andrew Bennett

Hi Thrfoot,
I have a similar text issue with resizing occurring in preview and live mode. I believe text boxes (unlike web pages) are responsive to browser width. Just for grins, try keeping your Orbitron font and making the text box slightly wider and see if that helps. It may not, but I had to jiggle mine about quite a bit to keep it in line with everything else.
Cheers,
Kellie

Excel printing looks out of alignment

All in One C410A. Print works fine in all programs except MS Excel. My printouts look like the printheads are out of alighnment; both vertical and horizontal depending on the file. This did not happen until I moved to the C410. My old C309 the print was perfect.

I am having the exact same issue with my 410; it looks as though the printer heads are out of alignment.
Has anyone seen a sollution? It occurs in the middle of the page but only in Excel.

Pixma MX922 - BK appears to be out of alignment. PGBK, C, M, Y all (relatively) perfect.

Hey all, I've actually submitted this to Canon support, but I thought I'd bring up the issue since it's pretty strange and I would think that anyone familiar with it might see this post and go... "Oh hey, I know that!"
So... Pixma MX922... I appear to be having issues with BK (not PGBK). Text is distorted, or "fat" (wider than it should be and fuzzy) and if it's small text you can see what appears to be a duplicate offset, what I believe is the difference between the PGBK and BK... it appears the dye black is out of alignment independently from the colors and PGBK as evidenced from the print head check page.
The solid rectangular bars to the left and right of PGBK are crisp and solid, as is the grid to the right. The bars of black to the left and right of C, M, Y, and BK are distorted, getting fatter to the center of the bar. The actual color samples are all a solid crisp rectangle but the BK pattern is also distended on the sides.
Here's an example of the print check: i.imgur.com/Bt8SYer.jpg
Steps I've taken:
cleaned heads (incl. deep cleaning)
cleaned timing strip
aligned heads automatically and manually.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Hi jurassicfrog,
if performing the alignments, print head cleanings and cleaning of the timing encoder film of the printer did not resolve the error, the printer will require servicing; please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Thanks for taking the time to look and reply. I've checked and there are no overlapping or stray boxes, but its something I'll keep an eye out for. I grouped all the column items together, but this doesn't prevent it from happening.

How to load brush presets below wet media brushes?

How do I create brush presets below my wet media brushes like I have in this photo. I did it before, but I don't know how? Please help.

In Camera raw setting of CS6, using the adjustment brush, the new, add or erase buttons do not work. Please advise.

In Camera raw setting of CS6, using the adjustment brush, the new, add or erase buttons do not work. Please advise.

What operating system are you using?
Which version of camera raw do you have in photoshop cs6?
After you select the Adjustment Brush, the New button should already be enabled.
Then after you draw on an area of the image, the Add button should be enabled, with the option to choose either of the other two buttons; New or Erase
Could you post a screenshot?
Maybe all the adjustment values are set to zero?
(at least one needs to have a value other than zero)

When I open images in Photoshop CS6 they are completely blown out and color posterzation like appea

When I open my images in Photoshop CS6 they appear considerably blown out - none of the foreground has color and detail seen here-but you can see a posterize like appearancin the sky. The same thing is happening in Lightroom 5.

The work files are tiffs 16 bit - anything that opens in photoshop has the
same look -jpg,psd etc. My images are printed as digital C print by a lab.
I haven't intentionally changed anything since yesterday when I was editing
images. The appearance is the same in Lightroom where my digital image are
stored. I also have scanned film image that open in adobe camera raw.So
whatever is happening occurs both in Photoshop and lightroom.
You suggest a monitor setting, worth exploring, but could a monitor issue
affect only photoshop/lightroom doc.
Thanks to PhotoRoy

After processing in CS6 saved jpegs are washed out in when viewing in bridge - Why?

after processing in CS6 saved jpegs are washed out in when viewing in bridge - Why?

I have been trying to figure out if I made any accidental changes in Photoshop. So far I haven't found anything. That might simply mean that I don't know all of the places to look. I have called Adobe and been on the support websites and haven't gotten a clear answer. I save as a JPEG with an embedded color file sRGB. Any suggestions on where else to look for accidental changes?
Everyone seems to agree that iPhoto doesn't work well with Adobe and should be avoided in the workflow. Truly, I had no idea! I just like the simplicity. The Mac store never mentioned problems between the two but did offer to help me purchase Aperture. I will use Bridge from now on to view the images and manage folders.
Thanks for your message!
