Could you please post a screenshot with the Layers Panel and Option Bar visible?

    What am I doing wrong?
    For one thing you forgot to mention the version of Photoshop you use.
    Did you place the image as a Smart Object? Liquify got Smart-capabilities with Photoshop CC.

  • Found Bug in PS CS6 While Trying to use the Eraser Tool

    I was editing an 8 bit JPEG that I imported from Adobe Lightroom 3.  While using the standard eraser tool to erase the background it would stop working and then move the screen around until I released the mouse button.  This happend about every 10 - 20 seconds.  I'm using a Macbook 2,1 with the OSX 10.6.8.
    Recreate Steps:
    1) Import 8-bit JPEG from Lightroom 3
    2) Select eraser tool on main layer (background)
    3) While holding the mouse button down start to erase part of the image
    4) About 10 - 20 seconds in the eraser will stop working and then when you move the mouse around image moves
    5) To stop the movement you have to release the mouse button and the find the correct part of the image again and start erasing again
    6) Most of the time I was viewing the image at >150%
    Hope this helps and you can find a fix.  It's very annoying to have to stop and find the correct area of your photo to erase.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    I am trying to reproduce this but as of now, mine is working properly.
    Can you copy and paste your system information in this thread for me to take a look at? (Photoshop  Help>system info)

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4/5 Crashes when using the Move Tool

    Hello. I'm here because I'm having an issue with Photoshop.
    I was trying out CS5 when it started to crash every time I tried to use the Move Tool. It was the generic error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working.
    A problem has caused Adobe Photoshop CS4 to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    Thinking that it was a CS5 issue, I went back to my copy of CS4, only to find the same thing happening there (I also downgraded because CS5 was also crashing at other random times for some reason, but that's an issue for another time).
    This puzzles me because both were working fine before. Granted, I hadn't opened them for a while, but it was a sudden thing.
    My first impulse was to uninstall and reinstall CS4. No luck. So then, I uninstalled all third-party plugins, thinking that might be it. Still, the same problem. I started looking around on Google for solutions and found the instructions on resetting the Tool preferences (I chose to reset the preferences for ALL of the tools). When that didn't work, I tried deleting the preferences file outright, which said instructions recommended. Nothing.
    I should note that Photoshop crashes when using the Move Tool to move an object without ant lines around it, i.e., a layer. I'll move the object, and after two to three seconds, the mentioned error message will appear and Windows will close Photoshop. This, however, only seems to happen after selecting, copying, and pasting part of a large object with some variation of the Marqee Tool (thus making that part a new layer by default) while working at a zoom of 100%. So, in short, working with a large image like <a href=http://www.wallpaper4me.com/images/wallpapers/ergo_proxy_267_1280-862301.jpeg>This</a> at 100% zoom. The image linked is the image that I was using and am currently using to reproduce the problem. It is 1280x1024 pixels. I have tested this with somewhat smaller, yet comparable images too. Same problem. I have never had this problem working with large images before, and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions short of formatting my hard drive.

    Even a decent RAM upgrade is usually only a few hundred dollars nowadays, but it's not a trivially simple process.  That said, with a little research and care you can do it.  Alternatively, you can hire people (e.g., "Geek Squad") to do such an upgrade.
    First, you'll need to know what your operating system capacity is.  For example, a 32 bit Windows system can really only use up to a bit more than 3 GB of RAM, while a 64 bit Windows system can use all the RAM you can find a place to plug in.  What version of Windows are you running?
    Then you'll need to determine what RAM you have installed and what your computer's maximum RAM capacity is - usually you can do this through internet research, either by visiting your computer manufacturer's web site or doing google searches.  There are even RAM manufacturer web sites that will tell you what kind of RAM your computer needs and suggest sources, for example:
    http://www.kingston.com/
    It may be that you can just plug additional chips into currently empty sockets, or it is possible you'll need to replace the RAM chips you have installed in your computer to make room for an upgrade.  Every computer is different.
    If you list your computer model and current RAM that you have installed here, it may be that someone can help with more specific advice.

  • 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.

  • Data transfer of BP with Vendor details using the EDT tool - BP_XDT - KCLJ

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to use the EDT tool with transfer type 15 to upload a BP into R3 with Vendor details.  I've successfully created the BP and Vendor, however I was looking to extend the migration to include purchase org data, unfortunately I couldnu2019t see any of the LFM1 type fields on the BUS_DI structure.
    Has anyone used this tool to upload this kind of data? If so how did you do it? 
    Also I've seen a OSS note 510095 which talks about how to extend the structures used by the tool, however this always seems to cause a short dump.  Has anyone applied the instructions and had a successful outcome?  Once again if you've done this could you please share your experience?
    Kind Regards,
    Hiten Mistry.

  • Using the rotate tool in CS6

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the rotate tool in CS6, I have created a petal, I then use the rotate tool to reposition the axis rotation pint, then when I double click to bring up the dialog box or if i go Object>Transform>Rotate the Axis point shifts back to the centre of the petal.
    I can only assume that this is a bug.
    Any help please
    Many thanks

    Pleased to be of assistance :-)
    By the way, double-click on the Rotate tool will rotate the object around its centre via the dialogue box.
    Maybe that was confusing you.

  • Using the BR*tools in portal

    Hi all,
    I am trying to use the BR*tools from a oracle database but having trouble setting the environment variables for the tool.  I'm on a windows platform.  Do I change these variables in the system part of the control panel?
    Thanks,
    Jin Bae

    Make sure to login with oracle user to run the BRTOOLS. This makes it easy.
    Please check your environment parameter for ORACLE_HOME. If this is not set, BR tools can not talk to ORACLE.
    BR TOOLS also works even if you login with SID id, if and only if the SID ID is part of DBA group.
    This can be verified with the owner & group of the BR Tools from kernel directory.
    Let me know the status.

  • Can't use the Zoom Tool to set the Magnification level of pages to diff sizes from the preset ones

    Hi, I am trying to use the Zoom Tool and "Set Magnification" on my Dreamweaver CS5.5 in order to view my pages at different magnifications when working on them.  My problem is that I need to use different sizes than those sizes that are available under the preset magnification levels list (which are for example 100%, 150% or 200%).  These are the ones that  come up on the zoom pop-up menu.  The dreamweaver tutorial says that I need to type in the size I want (e.g. 115% or 130%) in the "zoom text box" and it will then apply that size to the page but the box does not let me change whatever size is currently in it.  I can’t override or delete whatever preset size is in the box or do anything to change the zoom from the pre-set levels! I would really appreciate some help with this thanks

    Hi Ben, thank you for the reply, unfortunately that was one of the pages I was looking at to try and fix this issue but it is of no help. 
    The page says for zooming in and out of a page to "Type a magnification level in the Zoom text box.".  My dreamweaver will not let my type a manficiation level in the zoom text box.  It just won't let me override whatever is in the box (e.g. 100%) so I can't change it from the default pre-set magnification levels. It is so frustrating!
    Does anyone else have any other ideas?
    Thanks

  • Using the Bone tool on a jpeg

    Hi, I am trying to use the bone tool on a jpeg image I edited in photoshop. When I import it I have to "break-apart" the image to use the bone tool on it and all seems fine. but when the pose is set, the image vanishes during the motion. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Before using the bone tool, place your bitmap on the stage and F8 (or Modify>Convert to Symbol) to convert to movie clip, button, or graphic. You can then use the IK tools on that symbol. If you are simply "Breaking Apart" the image, Flash turns it into a vector square with a bitmap fill. If that bitmap has transparency, once you manipulate the IK armiture, the bitmap will "disappear" either all together or by the defining edges of the vector shape. Raw vectors and symbols do not mix with the IK tools, only one or the other.
    Bitmaps do not link with the IK tools directly.

  • PSE would freeze every time I use the brush tool !

    Hello guys, my name is Abdulrahman and this is the first time I post so please, take it easy on me. I used photoshop elements and premier 12 for about a year now and everything has been working fine. I haven't actually used PSE for a long time (probably since April) and I opened it 3 days ago trying to use the brush tool, but it would freeze. The cursor would stay as the brush icon no matter where I point it and it would not click anything, I have to force quite the application as it says '(application not responding)" next to it. I looked for help online, I updated PSE as well as my operating system (I work on a Mac by the way), I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application, and I also tried re-creating the preferences file, however nothing worked. Every other tool works fine, it is probably just the brush tool it has problems working with.

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem that you have been facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!
    Regards,
    vaishali
