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?

  • How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

    How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

    The latest version of iPhoto  - 9.5.1 -  requires MacOS X 10.9.x.  Is it possible to upgrade your Mac to Mavericks? Then you can buy the latest iPhoto from the AppStore.
    If your Mac does not support Mavericks, you could upgrade to iPhoto 9.4.3, see:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650  , but this version is no longer availbale from the AppStore. Buy a boxed retail version of iPhoto '11 from Amazon or eBay, and then update it from the support page  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650  .

  • How do I use the brush tool on a video in cs6? It only stays on one frame?

    How do I get what I create with the brush tool to stay on every frame in my video? I've got some footage of a car trip and I'm trying to use the brush tool to make a super 8 looking border, but it vanishes when I play the video because its only on one frame.

    When Photoshop just won't work properly, try replacing the Preferences file by using this procedure:
    Open Photoshop and save your custom goodies. Choose Edit→Presets→Preset Manager to save sets of styles, brushes, and other such bits and pieces you created. Use the Save Actions command in the Actions palette menu to save any sets of custom Actions.
    Review your Preferences. Open Photoshop's Preferences and go through each pane, noting your preferred settings so that you can restore your work environment later.
    Quit Photoshop. You can close the program like this:
    On a Mac: Hold down Command+Shift+Option and restart Photoshop. When prompted, release the modifier keys and confirm, that yes, you do want to replace the Photoshop settings.
    On a PC: Restart Photoshop; immediately press and hold down Ctrl+Shift+Alt. When prompted, release the modifier keys and confirm, that yes, you do want to replace the Photoshop settings.

    With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
    *One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
    Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
    *Never
    *When I have only one tab

  • How do I use the adjustment brush to mask and not turn my item green?

    I have shot some products for my web site.  I need completely white backgrounds. I have tried to mask the product and lighten the whites, but when I click done, my product has turned very green.
    Why?  How do you use the brush?  Also, where is the invert to make this easier on me?
    Kind of urgent, I need to get these items on my site already.
    I know the answer is simple... I just don't know what it is.
    Thanks

    Have you tried without the adjustment brush, by simply adjusting white balance from the basic tab in develop?
    Click on the eye dropper tool and then click on a neutral gray color. Use the background if it is neutral rather than white. You may need to keep selecting the eye dropper to click in a few different places for best results.
    If you decide to use the adjustment brush you can show or hide the mask. Uncheck the mask when you have finished painting; then use the sliders, starting with tint and temperature.

  • How can I draw using the Brush tool and a touch screen?

    I need to be able to use the touch screen on my Lenovo Yoga (running Windows 8) to draw using the Brush tool in Photoshop CS6. I'm able to do that in other programs, including Microsoft OneNote and Paint. For some reason, Photoshop will only interpret touching and dragging on the screen as an attempt to pan or scroll, even when the Brush tool is selected. I bought Photoshop - and it isn't cheap - specifically in order to draw using the touch screen, which I need to be able to do for my job. Is there some driver I can download to fix this problem, or some obscure setting I can change?
    I would also like to note that Adobe's technical support line exhibits a degree of infuriating unreachability equalled only by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. When I called to ask for help with this problem, I was told the expected wait time was between 10 and 14 minutes. After waiting for 50 minutes, I gave up in disgust. Adobe's products are powerful, but what passes for customer service is an utter disgrace.

    There's gotta be a way but I just use gimp for touch drawing, save it off as a png, edit in ps or ai.

  • How do I get the brush thumbnail to show in CS5 please?

    I have tried everything and no one can help me. I don't have the extended version,
    I have upgraded to PS5 from PS4 with a download but according
    to tutorials I have seen there should be a mini paint brush in a box that moves along with
    the pen to show how hard you are using the brush etc...
    It's not showing and I can't find any settings for it.
    Thanks for any help.

    howdy y'all,
    53 views and not one idea from anyone. [*sigh ...*] i suppose that means the nitwits in charge at apple have once again stripped a function away for no rational reason.
    i'm beginning to seriously wonder if i ought to switch to another music manager. i _really_ like the way smart playlists work in itunes, so i am _very_ reluctant to switch.
    anyway, if anyone has a suggestion, please post it! [*grin*]
    take care,

  • 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.

  • Can't use the brush

    Hi, I'm new at Photoshop and started the first lesson in Classroom in a Book with Photoshop CS5.
    I'm using Windows 7 and am now trying to use the brush. I selected color (black) and brush (75 pix) but can't get any color on the demo/picture.
    What is wrong in my settings?? I'doesn't work even on a new layer??

    There are settings you could have wrong, such as Paintbrush Mode, Opacity, Flow...
    In a case like this it may be most useful to capture your screen at the point where the brush won't paint and post it here.  Someone will likely be able to see what's wrong.

  • When I use the brush or eraser, a Ø symbol pops up next to my cursor and prevents me from drawing a stroke. Does anyone know a solution to this issue?

    Whenever I use the brush or eraser tool, during every other stroke, I get a Ø (circle with a line through it) sign next to the brush shape/cursor and can't draw. Please help, it's extremely frustrating and disrupting my workflow! I am drawing every animation frame so you can imagine, every other stroke is quite often.
    There are locked layers below my active drawing layer, which makes me wonder if Flash is just trying to tell me I can't draw on those layers, but I know that   Plus I need those layers there to guide my active layer's drawing. I've never run into this issue before with layers being locked and such. What am I missing?
    Any insight is appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Hmm interesting theory...I do press undo a lot, but only because I'm trying to get a good-looking brushstroke down, usually I don't even actively lock a layer as a step during my session because they've already been locked previously and I don't need to lock/unlock them often. The thing that is frustrating is that I will try to make a stroke, and can't because the symbol pops up...then I'll make the exact same intended stroke again and then it will work fine. It's pretty haphazard but basically every other stroke or every few strokes, it'll pop up.
    I think I'm beginning to almost accept this rhythm in my workflow
    I'm using CS6, and I noticed that I don't have this problem when I bring the file to work on at my job (CS5) or at school (CC).
    Edit: I tried to test your theory by drawing as much as I could without pressing undo...I was pleasantly surprised to not run into any issues with the paintbrush, but sure enough, as soon as I switched from the paint brush to the eraser, and tried to erase something I just drew, the eraser popped up with the "prohibited" symbol.

  • How do I get the brush to stop snapping to the edges?

    I use Photoshop 7.0.
    Whenever I'm working on a sketch using the brush tool, sometimes my work will go all the way to the very edges. Then, the brush will just automatically snap to the edge where I don't want it to go. This is especially annoying when I'm making some kind of curve very close to the edge, but dont want it touching it.
    This is what happens:
    How to I get this to stop happening?

    One way is to hold down the Ctrl key when you get near the edges.
    Another way is to go to the View menu and uncheck Snap.

    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.
