Fill tool doesn't completely 'fill'

When I use the fill tool to simply 'fill' a selection, it does not completely fill it. There is an ivisible barrier or line that prevents it from filling all the way to the edge. Do you think I have my settings wrong?
See screenshot.
Thank you in advance!

A Bucket Fill of a transparent area fills only pixels that are 100% transparent.  Some of those near the lines you've painted are actually partially transparent - hence the fill stops before reaching the completely opaque pixels.
If you want to do filled drawings, consider drawing paths and using filled shapes as an alternative.  Or you could select the transparent areas with the Magic Wand, expand the selection a bit, then paint in the selected area with a big brush..

  • In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

    In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

    I Created an adjustment (Curves) layer and did the curves adjustment.  Then I did an Edit Fill (Normal Mode, 100% Opacity and Use: Black).
    I then try to use the brush tool, but it doesn't work.  I've done this hundreds of times before and suddenly it's not working.  Rebooted the system, but that didn't help.
    I know how to do a screen shot, but it doesn't paste onto this screen.  How do I get that to you?
    thanks for your help

  • When I Load a Movie or New Movie it doesn't completely Load

    When I Load a Movie or New Movie it doesn't completely Load. So When I click the iMovie HD Icon on My little Bar thing. The screen comes up and the blue bar Only Goes to the Middle and stops. It says to wait a few minutes, But I have waited 7 hours and more everyday. Please Help. I Love to make Movies, and I'd hate for my passion to Stop.

    Hi Mandi
    Two thoughts. Your Mac is struggeling about how to get organized.
    - free space on internal hard disk should read more than 10Gb and even
    rather like 25GB
    - The hard disk that You store Your movie on can be in wrong format
    ∆ is it formatted OK (if only one = internal it's most probably OK)
    ∆ external hard disks MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted to work
    • DOS/UNIX/Mac Exchange - won't do !
    - The hard disk can be untidy:
    ∆ Run: Repair Permissions (Apple Disk Util tool)
    ∆ Run: Repair Hard disk (Apple Disk Util tool) (You need to start from CD/DVD
    or externa hard disk)
    ∆ AND - delete iMovie pref file (or start a new account / log into this and re-try.
    (will do the same but it discards even more eventually faulty files)

  • I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

    I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

    I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
    First close Photoshop.
    Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
    It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

  • Mobile account doesn't complete initial creation and sync process

    I'm trying to setup a mobile account for a network account but it won't complete the sync process on the client MacBook Pro. Both the server and the MacBook Pro are running 10.5.5.
    When I login to client it prompts me to create a Mobile account and proceeds with the sync to create the account, but when the sync is complete it just logs in with the default account setup. None of the user files or settings (desktop image, preferences, etc) appear. The sync process says "Checking..." for all the files that supposedly get copied to the client, but it looks like it doesn't complete.
    Is there a way of knowing what the problem is? Is there an issue with the user's home directory, some file that prevents the sync and mobile home creation from completing?
    Thanks.

    I solved this myself. The user ended up have a folder on his desktop that contained a backup home folder from an old powerbook that he was trying to save. It was a complete home folder, Documents, Library, etc and I thought it might be interfering with the sync of the normal home folder. So I created a folder called Bad Stuff in the home folder and copied the old powerbook home folder into it. Then opened up the Sync Settings and excluded the Bad Stuff folder from the sync. And it worked, the sync when fine and is resyncing fine.
    Hope that helps with other people with a similar problem.

  • I tried restoring my iMac 27" slim. I followed the steps erased my data then to reinstall osx mavericks. Now that I'm trying to reinstall osx mavericks for whatever reason it doesn't completes. Can you help me out?

    That's not quite the proper way as far as I can tell. Usually, one boots directly into the Recovery HD using COMMAND and R keys at startup. If you cannot do that then most likely there is a problem with the hard drive. Since this is a new computer i would make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Elements 11.  Resize image tool doesn't work.  Tried online chat with Adobe  - no help.

    I recently got a new computer (pc) and decided to download Elements 11 instead of the old version that was on my old computer.   I've discovered that the image resizing tool doesn't work, although the other functions seem to be working fine.
    I tried an online chat with Adobe.  Their suggestion was to buy another photo service from them for $10./month !!

    Do you have Resample Image and Constrain Proportions checked?

  • Doesn't Search SWF and Magnify Tool doesn't work

    I got the PDF to SWF thing down pat in Flashpaper. But It
    doesn't search the text.
    YES, the text is selectable, so why can't it search the text
    of my swf. Also the Maginfying tool doesn't work in flashpaper.
    I'm going to test a couple different things first such as
    messing with the PDF in Acrobat Pro first to see if I need to do
    something there in order to make the search function work.
    I did notice there are barely any replies to this forum, but
    GEE-WIZ guys somebody should answer some of these questions if you
    know the answer.
    Yes some people are vague, and others are so new to this
    world, they shouldn't be doing web design at all and asking
    questions on a board. anyhow. please help.
    If I find the answer I'll post it here.

    I went back and checked out the Indesign file. Apparently
    whoever made the catalog grouped alot of the text boxes. After I
    ungrouped these I exported to PDF and opened it up to do a check.
    Everything was searchable. There was something I toyed with in
    Indesign referring to subfonts. However, when I convert it to an
    swf using flashpaper it loses some of the searchable text. I got an
    idea and printed to FP but instead of choosing FP once the window
    came up I selected PDF. It is doing the same thing in the same
    spots. Everything is selectable right now in the PDF I printed from
    Indesign, I can even copy and paste the text perfectly into word.
    There are no settings for FP so I am lost as to what to do from
    here. I am using Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Indesign CS2 and FP 2
    Any ideas?

  • Eyedropper tool doesn't work in Index Mode

    When I am in Index mode, and I bring up the color table, the eyedropper tool doesn't work unless I right-click and choose one of the point sample averages. And even then, it doesn't always work unless I hit some combination of Shift-control-option-command. I'm still not sure what the combination is since it seems to differ a little depending on Photoshop's mood.
    I can remember there was this problem a couple of versions back, and Adobe fixed it after about a year or so.
    Anyone else experiencing this?
    Thanks, Chuck

    Thanks for the temporary solution. The is the same bug was in CS3 then fixed ic CS4. Now it's back in CS5.
    I've only had this bug with Macs not PCs. "YES IT'S A BUG!" Question: Is there anybody from Adobe who reads this? Can someone at adobe please tell us when this Mac bug will be fixed? For a premium product at such a price, Photoshop shouldn't have a bug like this. Adobe should be more responsive! Think of the difficulty people like me who write textbooks must have. To give one technique for a PC and then a workaround technique for a MAC. I implore anyone who is experiencing this problem to contact Adobe & let them know about it! Here's a link to their bug report page. https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform   Thanks everyone (for letting me vent). Frederick

  • CS6 stamp tool doesn't work with action / record ( tool record is enabled ) other tools works

    CS6 stamp tool doesn't work with action / record ( tool record is enabled ) other tools works

    At one time tool  recording was not possible and if you install Adobe Scriptlistener Plug-in Adobe will disable tool recording its never an option.
    I use and record actions all the time and was looking forward to tool recording when Adobe announced it.  However I found what they delivered was  of very limited value because of the restrictions. I do not care that Adobe disables tool recording on my machine.
    The amount of data that gets reordered seems also vary between machines.  I found that Action recorded on fast machine are not usable on slow machine.  Fast machine recorder too much data.
    Documents you use such action on must also have the same size and resolution as the document you recorded the action on. Quite a restriction.
    You problem may also be foxed in CC 2014 sett here Photoshop CS6 - Recording the clone tool in an action gives incorrect results on replay.

  • Red Eye Tool doesn't work in ACR 4.1

    The Red Eye tool doesn't work on my computer in Camera Raw 4.1/Bridge. When I choose it, the Pupil Size and Darken sliders appear but nothing happens when you try a correction. If I open the same image in Photoshop CS3, the Red Eye control works fine. How can I get it to work in in ACR?

    Ramon is right. Best to select the whole eye (even eyebrow) and you'll get the overlay box around the red. If it doesn't entirely cover the red (or if it box bounds some reddish eyelids) you can click and drag to widen(lessen) or lengthen the box and change the 'pupil size'. And so far I haven't found any, even bright, redeyes where the 'darken' control won't get a good dark result. [Animals (green/yellow eyes) are a different story.] Sometimes going too dark will also darken the irises. With the 'show overlay' unchecked you can drag the 'fix' off the eye onto the cheek to see the pattern - dark in the center and then a gradient fade of dark going out from center. "Clear all" clears all of course and you can start over.

  • Brush tool doesn't work

    I have just downloaded Photoshop Touch to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is running Android 4.0.4. The brush tool doesn't seem to work. I was wondering if this software is supported on this tablet.

    Hi. I'm sorry to hear that you have problems using the brush tool. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce – see my attached screenshot.
    When you compare the attached screenshot with the result on your device what difference are you seeing?
