Do you have a small part of the image selected (...when you are trying to paint outside the selection)?

  • LR3 - my brushes have stopped working

    My brushes have stopped working for some reason. Spot removal still works fine..
    I have tried the following:
    I cleared the history.
    I cleaned out the cache.
    I have tried an update from the adobe website (now at LR 3.6)
    I have restarted the computer after every try.
    I'm stuck now. Any ideas?

    Do you have either the Flow or the Density sliders (or both) set to a very low number? If so, increase the value.

  • Adjustment Brushes in Lightroom 3.6 have stopped working on my iMac

    I have Lightroom 3.6 loaded on my iMac v10.6 and have been using it continuously for some time.     For the second time in just a few weeks the Adjustment Brushes/Sliders have stopped working correctly, that is there is no noticeable adjustment on my image [for example Brightness, Exposure, Clarity etc.].      I cannot remember what I was told to do to correct this problem last time I had to contact Adobe Support about this issue,  and I'm told I now have to pay for support for this product now as Lightroom 4 is released.
    Is there a way I can fix the problem?
    Thank You.

    You've checked the density and flow sliders are set high enough?

  • Bridge CS4 one Windows 7 stops working when trying to load pictures in a new file

    Bridge starts fine but when i click on some files to see the pictures in there it stops working.
    The message i get is:
    "Adobe Bridge has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I had problems with my XP x64 and CS4 bridge too and after formatting and installing windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) i thought it would be solved ... but no such luck.
    Any ideas what to do?
    also not sure where to look for any error logging or something similar.

  • Brushes Randomly Stopped Working

    I recently downloaded some new actions for Photoshop Elements 12, and they have been working just fine until now. Now, whenever I play a brush action, and select the black image layer to brush on the layer, nothing happens. I'm sure I sound really stupid, but I have tried everything that I know to do. I have reset all of the tools. I've uninstalled the entire software and started from scratch. I've made sure that my brush is set to 'normal'... I just don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    No errors, but only the first test, pcm0 worked. Everything else only gave silence. That didn't help really because audacious/youtube doesnt play either. So I guess it isn't alsa specifice, and therefore isn't wine's fault. (I think?)
    It is normal that you only get audio from "HD Audio play front" unless you have a 5.1 setup, so oss works as expected.

  • The adjustment brush suddenly stopped working in Lr CC (among other things)

    1. All of a sudden the adjustment brush stopped working in my Lr CC. The little buttons that you can click on to activate your adjustments are gone and when I open files where I have done adjustments they are still there but no "buttons" to click and consequently I can not make any changes or new adjustments. For example; in the image I have inserted I have made adjustments with a) Sharpness, b) Skin Softening and c) Iris Enhance and the adjustments are still there but no "buttons" any more and therefore I can´t change anything. I edited this image April 29 and 30 when Lr still worked fine. Today (and yesterday) things has really start spooking around with Lr.
    2. After having saved an image in Ps CC as a psd-file going back to Lr CC for cropping Lr continuously reloads and resets all edits that I have done or are trying to do.
    Everything has been working earlier but the past two days things like the above has stopped working.

    Well, all problems regarding this are solved after having talked to Adobe's support. After having backed up my lrcat we deleted the Lightroom 6 plist, emptied the trash can and then restored Lightroom to its default values during the start-up process.

  • Brush tool stops working after I use select tool

    So everything is fine until I use the select tool, and then free transform a part of the image. Then my brush and eraser stop working until I save and restart the program. Help please?

    In versions of PSE prior to PSE 11, quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift/command+option+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
    For PSE 11, go to the editor preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:

  • Brush Presets stopped working.

    While I was working on an image, my brush presets stopped functioning. Attempts to re-load/replace/etc have not worked. I receive an error message stating, "Could not load the brushes “M Brushes.abr” because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." This is not possible, as I've been using these brushes in some cases for many years, and certainly on the image I was just working on.
    Can someone help me get them working again? I have rebooted/started/stopped Photoshop several times to no avail.
    Mac OS 10.7.5, PS CS6

    Good day!
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • Spot Healing Brush Tool stops working in CS6 on Mac

    Hello:
    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.  While working in the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS6 on my iMac (Mountain Lion) , the tool stops working. I use it a few times on a busy BG, and then it goes away. The brush turns to a cross, and the tool no longer works. Reseting the tool, or All Tools, does not fix the problem.
    Please let me know if there is a fix for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    BTW:
    This is also hapenning when I use the Patch tool.  It "Eventually" comes back, but I loose it again after a fix or two. Can't figure this one out. Need help.

  • My adjustment brush suddenly stopped working. LR 5.

    My flow and density are set to 100 and I've tried using an overlay just to be sure. Nothing is working. Any ideas?

    I'm replying to my own question....figured it out. I didn't have the panel for the brush opened.

  • Running 10.9 mavericks and Lightroom 5 brushes continually stop working and points disappear

    I am having an issue where any brush I select will not work.  I can be in the middle of using one and it just stops having an effect.  Also, there are times when after selecting a brush and trying to use it nothing happens and no point is stored.  It is becoming more and more of an issue as I add pictures to my library to develop. 
    I have a huge art show coming up and this has went from a small problem to a very large problem as time draws to a close.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Some other notes,  I am on a 2012 macbook pro running 16gb of RAM and am running the program from my SSD.

    Hi R_Kelly,
    I made a new action from scratch and it does work (sorta).  Which means there is a lot of work in my future to recreate all my actions!
    But the droplet doesn't show as a photoshop droplet. i get a generic file icon (see below) And, I couldn't find it right away because it's creation date says June 2011!?! when i made it today Dec. 2013. So something is definitely wrong!

  • The paint bucket tool and patterns in Photoshop CC have stopped working, how to fix?

    Suddenly the paint bucket is not filling, and patterns are not filling either with bucket or fx on layer.
    I tried resetting patterns to default, but that did not help. I restarted my computer, no help, either. Any suggestions? thanks!

    What document? what layer? what tool settings? you need to provide more info. Most likely you have simply changed a setting somewhere.

  • Healing Brush Has Stopped Working

    My PSE10 Healing Brush is now acting like my cloning tool.  I was using the cloning tool while editing a photo.  The next photo I went to use the healing brush and received an error notice that I usually associate with the cloning tool.  The error reads "alt-click to define a source point to be used to repair the image".  I have done a restart as well as checked for any available updates.  All to no avail.  Any insight will be appreciated.

    Hi Batterup55,
    Right click on the Healing Brush icon. You will see two options. Select the first one.
