Eraser tool (FW CS4) doesn't affect entire pixel width -- only one point?

I'm using the Fireworks CS4 eraser tool (this may pertain to other tools), set to: square shape, 1px width, edge softness 0 or 100 (doesn't matter). This is noticeable when moving the brush diagonally from bottom-right to top-left. When moving in the opposite direction, it isn't noticeable at all. It seems to be only affecting the upper-left point on every pixel (pixels have points in Fireworks?).
...What the hell? (rhetorical)
I make pixel art, so this is really awkward.
Is there some setting I'm missing?
Is this normal behavior?
How does it make sense?

Talking about pixels, it happens that sometimes rectangles cannot be perfectly aligned, even when they are positioned and aligned correctly and have a less than a pixel difference... . That affects css and images and causes some miscalculations.

  • 3D Axis System (bar type) doesn't work when there is only one z-channel

    Hello,
    I have a problem with a 3D Axis System, bar type.
    Everything works fine as long as the y-channel contains more than one value (meaning there is more than one z-channel too).
    But when my y-channel has only one value, and there is only one z-channel, the axis system goes blank (there is just an empty white field with a thin outline).
    I don't understand why it doesn't work that way. The length of my one z-channel is the same length as my x-channel, as it should be.

  • Shuffle freezes, doesn't play next song, plays only one song

    Hi!
    Okay, so my ipod is offically broken. I got it as a b-day present in the summer of 2005, and i had to send it back once because the battery broke. This friday (yep, friday the 13th) it broke when i was waiting for my bus.
    it plays one song in the beginning, then it stops. if i press the next button the shuffle stops. however the reverse button works, but it goes in a cycle(and no, i am NOT in PIO). Also if I fastfoward into about a minute into the song, and then press next, it works. That is for a little while. It basically does the same thing in PIO.
    The pause and volume buttons work fine.
    When I plugged my shuffle into the computer, it didn't even recognize it. If i can get the bootex to load without crashing the computer, which it does now, it says that the shuffle is dirty.
    I've download itunes 7, reinstalled itunes, charged my shuffle with the wall adaptor, placed the shuffle in all of the USB ports(yes ALL of them), and i restarted my ipod.
    This is a fairly recent development, but i had placed homemade recordings that i created with my camera on the shuffle. it worked fine on the 12th, after i updated my shuffle, and it was working on the morning of the 13th, until i accidently clicked the next button. Weird thing was that i clicked the next button earlier that morning, and nothing happened.
    I tried to provide many details in hopes that some one knows a quick and easy fix.
    my problem sounds very simular to bcructh.
    thanks, lindz

    I don't think that it has to do with the itunes 7 though.
    I just install it today, and my shuffle broke on friday.
    I really hope that some one is going to answer this SOON because i am NOT looking forward to a busride with smelly, loud, self-center freshmen (they really do smell, I'm not trying to be a jerk, and they are self-center and EXTREMALLY loud for 6:30 in the morning) with out music.

  • PS CS4 doesn't see network printers

    Hi. I have installed some network printers on my PC, and PS CS4 doesn't list them. It only lists local printers installed on my PC and the Adobe PDF (I have Acrobat). That is under File > Print... and also under File > Page Setup... > Printer... . All the other applications do list the network printers I have installed. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

    This might help you: The info is a little ways down the KB.

  • Strange Effects When Using Erase & Clone Tools In CS4

    I recently upgraded from Elements 8 to CS4 and I've noticed that I have started getting strange effects with both the erase and clone tools. When I have been working with either of these tools for a while I suddenly find that left clicking the mous will cause a spurious reaction in another part of my image. The erase tool erases strips and the clone tool clones other colours and areas. I suspect that it might be due to the amount of memory I'm using but advice would be appreciated. I am running Windows 7 and  I have 4.00GB of physical memory and 11.8GB of virtual memory.
    Looking forward to suggestions.

    I've found the solution to the problem, although it doesn't really please me because I've had to sacrifice the number of history states I can keep. I have reduced the number to 15 from 20 and the problem has gone away, which indicates that it's a memory problem. I'm going to slowly increase the number of states until the problem re-appears.

  • Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

    Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
    It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

    The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
    Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

  • Eraser tool doesn't function

    I can not use the eraser tool (crossed out pencil) on any document I've created. It use to work but now NOTHING! ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    James,
    When things stop working it may be worth trying the list, and hope for one of the easy ones at the top.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Eraser tool doesn't Erase

    In my practice session using the Eraser tool I can't make it work.  From Help, "To erase any object on the artboard, leave all objects unselected". 
    That works -- until I stop the mouse drag and let go of the button.  Then the paths and fill bounce back from invisibility instantly. 
    GM, using Win 7 and AI cs5.

    Here, I'll try to upload a local file.  Last time, the uploader didn't work and I had to post it first to Photobucket.
    Line 1 is a piece of freehand text "ERASE" created with a caligraphic brush, 5 pts stroke.
    Line 2 is the result of dragging the Eraser tool, 200 dia., across, from right to left. The top of the round eraser passed over the lower 2/3 of the word. As it passed over, that portion of the text completely disappeared.  When done, however, it all came back except for small gaps or breaks that you can see.
    Line 3 is the result of selection of the lower half. It reveals that the paths have indeed been affected -- but not erased.

  • Problems with "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur". The tools don't affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points.

    Hello!
    I have some issues with Photoshop CC 2014. The tools "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur" won't work correctly. When I’m holding down the left mouse button and trying to erase or blur some area, the tools don’t affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points – like drawing a line. These troubles exist with mentioned tools only, other tools work correctly.
    I’ve restored each tool separately, restored all the tools together, installed new drivers for tablet, re-installed Photoshop and even Windows. Nothing helped. These tools worked correctly earlier with the same adjustments, but one day something went wrong.
    How can I make the tools work correctly?
    Some information about my computer:
    • Notebook Lenovo Y560
    • Windows 7 Home Basic SP1 x64
    • Intel Core i5 2.53 GHz
    • 4Gb RAM
    • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 1Gb
    • Tablet Wacom Bamboo CTL-470

    Hi,
    I have a similar problem with the Background Eraser tool as well. It's the same both on my PC and on my laptop, both running Win 8.1 and PS CC2014. Would be great to have a solution for this. Did you managed to find a fix?

  • What happened to my eraser tool? PS CS4

    Suddenly the eraser tool doesn't work any more on settings layers. If I want to erase partly a curves layer, nothing happens. If I want to erase a part selection setting layer, the eraser adds instead of erasing. Otherwise it works normally on pixels layers. I restarted the computer but nothing changed. The erase history box is unchecked.
    Did I activate some function that I am not aware of? Or is this a bug and should I reinstall?

    >Are you erasing to black, white, transparent?  Depending on what you are erasing it is easy to flip the colours accidentally and it will look like eraser is not working...
    That was it! I was erasing to white. Strange that I had never come by this before in 12 years of Photoshop use!
    >When I paint on Layer Masks I usually just reset back- and foreground-color (D) if necessary, use the Brush Tool and switch the two colors (X) as needed.
    I will try that technique, it should help fine tuning. Thanks!
    Thanks a lot for getting me out of this!

  • Both CS4 and PS6 are stuck on the eraser tool

    They are both stuck on the eraser tool.
    I have quit and reopened.  How is it possible that both programs have the same issue all of a sudden.
    How do I make it work?
    I have quit and reopened but nothing changes.
    I don't like PS6 and prefer to use CS4.
    HELP, PLEASE!  I have a deadline and can't work.
    Thanks

    You aren't by any chance holding your tablet's stylus upside down? Seriously, I've done it.

  • Eraser tool doesn't work for black layer mask

    I am trying to set a black layer mask and use the eraser tool to edit it.  Unfortunately the eraser tool is not responsive.  I'm not knowingly doing anything differently than I've done in the past.  I recently did a round of software updates for CS6.  Wondering if anyone else is experienceing this and if there's a solution?  

    Check that foreground color in the toolbox is set to black. (opposite from when using the brush tool)
    Press D and then the X key.
    And that opacity and flow are 100%.
    Most people use the brush tool on layer masks and you might find that works better.
