How do I unlock the BRUSHES in PHOTOSHOP CS6?

How do I unlock my bushes in PHOTOSHOP cs6?
[ font size and color fixed by admin ]

Hi Catherine (catherinemary2012),
I imagine you already found out how to unlock brushes, but I'll share what worked for me. I had the same issue while trying to create a new brush shape and then edit it.  After some poking around I tried selecting the "Brush Tool" icon on the menu to the left side of my work area before trying to edit my brush shape.  After selecting the "Brush" icon, the "Brush" and "Brush Presets" became active and the brushes were able to be locked or unlocked. Also, I don't think you are impolite .

  • How do I start the script for Photoshop CS6 in Bridge CS6 image processor ?

    I am new to Bridge and I am lookiing for a way to batch process images. I opened 'preferences' and did not find Photoshop CS6 under the script list. How do I open and run the image processor? Thanks for any help!!

    I have clicked on 'tools' within Bridge but there is no 'Photoshop' in the drop-down menu.
    Misread your post a bit and see you want the image processor, however, this should be in the same location as the Batch option. If you don't have Photoshop in that list it means the start up script is not active or not installed properly.
    First check Bridge preferences / Start up scripts and see if Photoshop is listed inhere and has a checkmark in front. If no checkmark then set it to on, restart Bridge and try again. If no Start upScript at all first try restart Bridge holding down option key (Mac) or ctrl (Win) and choose reset preferences.
    If still no luck try a reinstall of PSCS6 to also reinstall Bridge again. (you first have to uninstall PSCS6, be sure to have a back up of custom settings etc).

  • How can I change the language of photoshop cs6 from english to german?

    Hello!
    My company has several CS6 (master collection) licenses. On my PC and Mac (both) I have an english version installed. I would like to change the language to german without reinstalling everything. I do have the install media of the german version. Can I extract the german language files an replace the existing ones? Or can I install the german version on a VM and copy the german language files?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Brushes for Photoshop CS6

    How do you download different Brushes for Photoshop CS6?

    Brushes
    Place the *.abr files into:
    Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop X\Presets\Brushes where X is the version number for your version of Photoshop.
    Brushes created in Photoshop 7 or later will not work in earlier versions of Photoshop. Any Photoshop brushes should work in Photoshop 7 and later.
    From the Brushes Palette in Photoshop, click the small arrow in the upper right corner of the palette, and choose load brushes. The brushes will be added to the current brushes.
    here is a simple tutorial:

  • How do I use the brush to paint in latest version of Photoshop CC ?  I have a MAC with OS 10.10.2

    How do I use the brush to paint in latest version of Photoshop CC ?  I have a MAC with OS 10.10.2. 
    I clicked the brush tool, then clicked on color swatch that brought me to the colors and clicked OL... but not able to get the color I need.

    Well if I follow him, he creates an Exposure Adjustment Layer.
    Then he cranks up the Exposure, lightening the entire body, which he does not want. It's only the head.
    So leaving the Exposure set to where he put it, he selects that adjustment layer, clicks on that white thumbnail mask first, then paints
    using the brush and black. What this does is "hides" or Masks the exposure effect where he paints, it doesn't paint the picture black.
    He finds having to "mask" the entire body a lot of work. So he changes the mask to black by inverting it, and changes the swatch to white.
    Then being sure the black mask thumbnail is selected, he paints the head with the white color, punching a hole in the mask so the exposure setting comes through on the face.
    Does that make sense?

  • 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.

    How do I select a square brush for the brush tool in CS6?  Sorry if this is a simple question, but nothing has ever been simple for me in Photoshop.

    I don't believe there is a square brush among the sets that ship with Photoshop, but there are plenty to download, and it is super easy to make one.
    Just drag with the rectangular Marquee tool, fill with black on a new layer, and go Edit > Define brush preset

  • How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5?

    How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5? I am trying to use the clone stamp and I am not able to get a sample because of this popup menu.

    LOL,  I can't even begin to complain with the number if times I misread questions, and then try to break my own record for the number of typos in a single post.
    The image above was taken on a photgraphic weekend where the group (of all young ladies ) I was travelling with, set us a photography challenge.  The one above was my response to a 'faceless portrait'.  The only other one I attempted was this response for a picture of a 'wild animal', featuring camera club president Liz.
    Oh what fun we had, laughing and laughing until our faces fell off.

  • How do I unlock my brushes

    How do I unlock my preset brushes in photoshop cs6 it is not highlighted and when I click on it it wont allow me to check it.

    Basic phones as well as smartphones can sometimes utilize some of the frequencies and bands from other carriers, but function is limited since, for example, Sprint uses 800 and 1900 and Verizon uses 850 and 1900...therefore only one frequency would work in this case.  So, it's not the most efficient use of a phone.

  • Are the brushes in Photoshop CC faster than CS6 - still need to use CS5 for large files

    Hey,
    Are the brushes in Photoshop CC any faster than Photoshop CS6.
    Here's my standard large file, which makes the CS6 brushes crawl:
    iPad 3 size - 2048 x 1536
    About 20-100 layers
    A combination of vector and bitmap layers
    Many of the layers use layer styles
    On a file like this there is a hesitation to every brush stroke in CS6. Even a basic round brush has the same hesitation, it doesn't have to be a brush as elaborate as a mixer brush.
    This hesitation happens on both the mac and pc, on systems with 16 gb of ram. Many of my coworkers have the same issue.
    So, for a complicated file, such as a map with many parts, I ask my coworkers to please work in CS5. If they work in CS6 I ask them to not use any CS6 only features, such as group layer styles. The only reason why one of them might want to use CS6 is because they're working on only a small portion of the map, such as a building. The rest of the layers are flattened in their file.
    Just wondering if there has ever been a resolution to this problem...or this is just the way it is.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Brushes Missing in Photoshop CC - How Do I properly install Brushes in Photoshop CC?

    Hi, I bought some cool brushes for Photoshop CC and installed them, but a few days later I noticed they are no longer available in my brush presets. Where could they have gone? I did not reinstall Photoshop or do anything except quit Photoshop.
    Question:
    Can someone please give me a link or tell me how to properly install brushes (.tpl files) in Photoshop CC so they stay loaded in Photoshop. I also want to add to these brushes and keep a folder o my Mac so I can back them up. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks.

    Ronald Keller wrote:
    Your question confuses me: .tpl are not brushes. Brushes have an .abr extension.
    So how did you install the brushes you bought? Maybe we can find out what went wrong?
    Ronald, as you'll know .tpl files are tool presets.  Using a tool preset as opposed to a normal brush preset, lets you save additional features that are not available with a regular .abr file.   I don't know if he pioneered the technique, but John Derry is the person who introduced it to me via one of his Lynda.com tutorials.
    You can get a heads up from here, but I am sure Google will find more links.
    John Nack on Adobe : New Photoshop brushes from John Derry
    This is a JPG version of the PDF instructions for installing John's Brush tool presets.  Note that this particular set were for CS6, and I was only able to get about half of them working with 2014.2.2  It should at least give  the OP the file locations for a manual install.  Note also, you may need to click on the image to open it at full size, and that the file locations are not necessarily the same for CC.

    What is the file format of the vector you downloaded?  Custom Shapes have a .PSP extension, and are placed according to this table.
    Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CC
    They will then be loadable from the Custom Shapes drop down — click on the cog icon > Load shape > Find your downloaded vector.
    Once placed in the image, it will appear as a Shape layer, and can be edited with the Path, and Direct Selection tools (black and white arrows on the toolbar)
