Drawing tools not working properly!

Ok soo whenever I try to draw something in flash with my
tablet, the pen/pencil/brush strokes jump across the screen. Im not
sure if it has to do with pen pressure or other tablet settings
because it works just fine with the regular mouse. I think that it
may have to do with the fact that I have an older version of flash
and a new Wacom tablet. Please help!

No, you just updated your OS to 10.10.2 which doesn't get along well with Adobe apps. Keep your adobe stuff on the main screen (the one with the menu bar in the OS Prefs>Display dialog). Adjust as necessary.

The two selection tools in CS6 Illustrotor not working properly.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12: dropdown boxes for tools not working properly in Win 8.1

Elements 12 system requirements are indicated up to Windows 8. Does that mean it should also work on any Windows 8 upgrades, more specifically 8.1? The drop-down boxes for the tools are not working properly in the program. I've installed it, uninstalled it, and installed it again with the same results. It worked fine on my old computer with Vista.

Yes PSE12 will work on 8.1
If problems persist try re-setting the prefs.
Go to: Edit >> Preferences >> General (Photoshop Elements menu on Mac)
Click the button Reset Preferences on next Launch

Can no longer access iPhoto from the iMovie camera browser..not working. Also the Inspector tool not working properly. Cannot change clip duration.

How can I fix the INSPECTOR Tool? Clip duration is not working properly, it is very erratic. You type a number and a different one comes up on the clip.
Suddenly the iPhoto Camera browser in iMovie is not working properly either. Can not access my iPhotos to include them in iMovie project.

Have you tried this?
From the "HOME" screen, go to "SETTINGS > PRIVACY > PHOTOS" and see if iMovie is listed in the "PHOTOS" page. If it is, then tap the iMovie switch to "ON"
Now your Videos & Photos should be accessible in the iMovie App.

Selections tools not working properly in Photoshop CC 2014

Just installed Photoshop CC 2014. For some reason I cannot get my quick selection tool and quick mask to work properly. I can make a selection but when I try to make a mask I get all kinds of artifacting going on. I try to use quick select to clean up the artifacting to no avail, in fact I start to get different artifacting in the selection that cannot be removed by the brush tool. HELP. To bad I uninstalled Photoshop CC. Can I reinstall Photoshop CC somehow? Anybody out there with the same problems? The focus area will not work also?

At this moment, I have tried : Reset the "Adobe Photoshop Settings File" (When you open Photoshop, push "option + command + shift" for Apple).
Not ok.

CS5.1 scaling tool not working properly

The scaling tool is working oddly. If I scale it something down (like a logo) - even with the shift held down and scale it back up - it is all distorted. Is there something that I need to turn off or on? Because the scale tool isn't working properly it is destroying logos. I'm not new to illustrator so unless something in the program has changed I'm not doing anything I haven't always done - without the bad effects.
thanks

THANK YOU!
And it was the "Free Transform" tool I was talking about. Your tip has fixed the problem.

Eyedropper Tool Not Working Properly: Photoshop CC 2014

I have the very latest version of Photoshop CC 2014. But, even before updating, all of a sudden, my eyedropper tool isn't working properly. It used to be that I could pick up a color from any place on the image, no matter what layer I was on. Now, it seems that layer MUST be the active one for the eyedropper tool to pick up the color. So, what's going on?
If it means anything, I recently updated from OS X 10.8.5 to 10.9.5.

So, what's going on?
Possibly you paid no attention to the Tool’s settings in the Options Bar.

FW CS6 Align tool not working properly with lines of text

Much to my surprise the align tool is not aligning properly with text and I'm not sure what the issue is. My snap to grid distance is set at 1 in preferences.
Task: Left-align several vertically-stacked lines of type using the alignment tool. All lines have text-align: left.
Result: Some of lines of type display 1px off from each other. Using the right-align tool yields the same issue.
Oddly enough shapes align pixel-perfect.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm not certain of this, but I believe the Align panel aligns the text runs as opposed to the text boxes themselves. This should be a good thing, as it's usually the text that needs to be aligned, not the invisible boxes containing the text.
Could that be what's happening?

Crop tool not working properly

I have CS4 photoshop. The crop tool was working correctly before, but now when I try to crop an image the tool doesn't cover the whole image the way it used to. It doesn't pull down across the whole image. Did one of my preferneces change? Please help me!!
Thanks,
Pat

Thanks, but I got it to work by hitting the clear button.

Text select tool not working properly

When I use the text select tool, it selects columns, not words in a row, which is what I want. It used to work correctly. I am using Acrobat Pro, version 9.0.0.
I tried adding the ALT key, with no good result.

Is it with this specific document o any pdf you work on?
If it was earlier working fine for you, try repairing Acrobat by going to 'Help' menu > Repair Acrobat.
Also make sure you have updated it to the latest patch.

Ravi.

Marquee tool and shape tool not working properly

I have Photoshop CS five, and today while working in it, the behavior of all of my tools changed.
Tools are now defaulting to “select from center” mode, which normally requires holding down the option key.
As another clue, if I create a marquee selection, as soon as I release the mouse button the Marquis tool switches to “intersect with selection” mode.
I quit Photoshop and deleted all of my Adobe Photoshop preferences, however when I relaunched Photoshop the problem was still there.
I thought maybe my option key was stuck down, but when I tried typing in stickies, characters typed normally, so my option key is not stuck in the down position.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Thank you for your response.
I actually spent some time with Adobe tech support working on the problem. You are correct it was a bug; they had me update my Photoshop AND delete this file from my preferences folder: com.adobe.Photoshop.plist — those two things did the trick.
Thanks for the help!

Color change tool not working properly

I am running Photoshop CS5.
Now when I try to replace color, these are my steps
color replacement tool
mode: color
sampling: continuous
limits: find edges
tolerance: 33%
anti-alias: selected
I pick my color that I want to replace. If it is a green, or a blue, it will replace the color, but it replace with a neon color instead of the color that i pick.
If i use a white or a black, it will not replace the color at all.
Any ideas how to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance

Any ideas how to fix the problem?
Plain and simple: Learn how to work with selections and then use adjustments or e.g. the paint bucket tool. You are fundamentally misunderstanding how the tool works. All of what you see is as it should be - based on your settings it retains luminance and just replace the color info which explains why black and white don't respond (as there is no color) and how substituting a color while retaining the luminance would yield an unexpected visual result. Again, your approach is wrong, not the tool.

Indesign CC - tooltip on guides and drawing tools not working

I just updated CC this morning - but the tooltip when you pull guides down or when you draw a new shape (the dimensions etc) do no longer show.
I know you can still see this in the toolbar - but it was really handy seeing near where your cursor was aswell.
Do I need to tick something in prefrences or has this fallen foul of the latest update and will need to be fixed in a future patch?
Hope some else is having the issue and just not me!

thanks Steve - that is currently ticked already and seems to not be having an affect.
It must be a bug in the latest update as a collegue who sits next to me who hasnt run the update still gets the tool tip.

Refine edge tool not working properly?

It worked for a couple of days but haven't been able to get it to work right again. I've wasted a lot of time on this problem. It doesn't find the edges correctly and make the areas where I used the tool lighter. I've tried resetting the preferences and it made no difference. I'm thinking of reinstalling the software but not sure how to do it.

Precisely saying refine edge tool does not find edges . It is just used to refine the current selection. How are finding it unuseful. Can you plz provide more info.

Eraser Tool and Pattern Stamp Tools Not Working Properly

I recently downloaded Photoshop CC on my Mac. I've been using Photoshop for years and don't recall experiencing these problems.
When using the eraser tool in brush mode, I select the appropriate preset and opacity, flow etc.
Let's say I have the brush size set at 70px and hardness at 100%. I erase, but the area erased is only 2/3rds of the actual size of the brush.
The same is true for the pattern stamp. Only 2/3rds of the pattern stamp is working.
I've tried resetting to the tools and have search all over for similar problems in the forums but cannot find a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not being a Mac user I don't recall the specifics, but there is I believe a system setting for cursor size. You may have it set larger than it should be to work with Photoshop.
