Image disappears when using polygonal lasso

Today I have been using the polygonal lasso tool to define a selection on a photograph and after 3 or 4 "points" that I have clicked to create a border I want to define the image goes to white so you cannot see anything anymore except the string of the lasso path I was creating. Now there is a long sentence! It happened throughout yesterday as well. I have rebooted the computer but continues to have this problem.
I couldn't think of a short, clear description to search for so am asking for some help as a new discussion.
Any ideas of what is going on and how to correct?
Thank you.

Image disappears when using transform function

In Photoshop CS6, all of a sudden my image disappears when I try to transform a selection. Why is this happening? It didn't happen before, so maybe I accidently changed some setting, but I have no idea what it could be.

Determine what make and model GPU you have, then go to the GPU maker's website and download the latest driver and follow their instructions to install it.

Crash when using Polygonal Lasso tool - PS CC + Windows 8

I'm using Windows 8 on a Dell XPS 9343 laptop, and am having an issue with Photoshop CC.
Periodically, while using the polygonal lasso tool, Photoshop will completely freeze up, resulting in a memory spike according to the activity monitor.
Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution?

A lot more details of your hardware and software are needed are needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

Problem when using Polygonal lasso tool

Hello.
Im just trying to create a simple triangle, but photoshop creates other chapes in addition when create it. Please see my attached image. The shape i created is the triangle, and photoshop put in the rest. This only happens when the shapes I create is big, when i create a smaller triangle, it all appears normal. Why is this happening? It enoying when i just want to create simple shapes.. I know im not an expert in photoshop, but i never thought i would ask questions about this:)

You don't say what version you are using.
you don't say what computer you are using.
you don't say what OS you are using.
I personally have never seen this. What I do when things start acting goofy is trash the prefs. If you do not know how to do this it is covered in the FAQs the link is on the right side of the photoshop forum.

Pasted image into gmail disappears when using Safari

Pasted image into gmail disappears when using Safari
I recently upgraded to Mavericks (after having a lot of seemingly unrelated trouble with my Macbook Pro (early 2011))
Since then, when I create a new message in gmail, and paste in a screen shot (captured with command-control-shift-4), the image shows up nicely. But after I hit send, the image disappears. It doesn't show up to the recipient, and when I look at my sent mail, it doesn't show up there either. There's nothing, no icon showing where the image should be, just empty space in the message. This seems to happen in Safari, but seems to works fine when creating the message in Chrome. (please, restrain yourself from telling me "Duh. Use Chrome." I know it's tempting, but my computer has some issues and Chrome doesn't always work.) If I create the same sort of message in Chrome, and then go to Safari gmail, I can see the image just fine. So it appears to be something about keeping the image attached to the content of the message while sending (vs. a viewing problem).
I know when Mavericks was installed, I had to install something in Safari for Adobe docs to show up again. Is there something I need to install so that images will stay attached to the content of gmail messages again?
Thanks

After you click Download (the attachment) from your Safari menu bar click Window / Downloads.
Right or control click the file in the Downloads window then click: Show in Finder
I'm not sure if you can designate another folder for downloading web based attachments to, however, instead of accessing your Gmail
account using Safari, you can set up the Gmail account from the Mail app on your hard drive. Mail preferences allow you to choose the
folder you want to use for downloaded files.
To add an account:
Choose File > Add Account or click the Add button in the Accounts pane of Mail preferences.
Enter information about the user.Mail searches for the information it needs to finish setting up your account. If it can’t find the information, continue to the next step.
Enter information about the incoming and outgoing mail servers, review the account summary, and then click Create.For information about options, click the Help button (looks like a question mark).If you don’t want the account to be active immediately, deselect the “Take account online” checkbox. You can take the account online later.
If you aren’t sure about the information to enter, contact your email service provider before you begin. When you talk with your provider, you can use the Mail settings “cheat sheet” available using the link below to record settings you might need to set up an account. If you’re switching from another application to Mail, use the cheat sheet to record information for each account you want to switch.

Cursor disappears when using Photoshop, anyone else?

My cursor disappears when using Photoshop, I have to leave the program to get it back. Happens constantly since installing 10.8.3.
Was fine for years, until I upgraded my OS

NEW, 1ST TIME POST
I'd like to see some real effort on the part of Apple to 1) address the issue and 2) post a fix.
I've been using the same equipment for several years (27" iMac and a Wacom Intous4). Everything was lovely until 'upgrading' to the latest OS… The cursor dissappears at will. I can NOT predict the event, only that I have only found it occurring in Photoshop.
Contacted Wacom. No help there.
I got VERY tired of having to close PS to get the cursor back. My tablet is hard-wired and my keyboard is an Apple wireless. Of course, w/o a cursor, how are you going to click on anything… Keyboard worked, but not the Wacom. Finally got out my wireless [Apple] mouse, fired it up, and used it as a 'backup' (for crashing my way out of PS). The mouse never interferred with operation. THOUGHT it was a Wacom problem, because I've yet to create the event with a normal mouse. I admit I rarely, RARELY use a mouse. Seems that I can't draw with a rock…
Aggravated by the lack of interest across the board, I discovered quite by accident one day a work-around: flip to a different desktop and then right back. Voila. Cursor is back. I've got 4 desktops available, so it is a quick CTL + arrow. My work-around works for me WITHOUT FAIL. Pay attention Apple/Adobe/Wacom. Apparently something here is refreshing whatever and solving the problem. Until the next time, of course.
Apple - Adobe - Wacom, please don't think we're 'satisfied' and we'll fix it in the NEXT mulit-thousand dollar computer/OS/tablet purchase. I love the products, but with this latest OS, you have a perfect storm of bugs (don't ask me about dropping the Internet DAILEY, s-l-o-w to non-existent blutooth connectivity, new 3D weird actions or [insert drumroll] 'THE CLOUD').
Call any of those listed and get ready for a raft of denial and finger-pointing. I admit, you quickly find yourself somewhere like the Phillipines or India, trying to talk to someone who can't converse with you in you own language, but that is NOT the fault of us, the end-users.
Finally: 'Caps lock'? Please. Give the guy SOME credit. Maybe the light was burnt out on the keyboard?
C'mon. Get with it guys!! Denial mixed with 'passing the buck' is not an answer. And you want MORE MONEY out of me?????
I agree with lkooz, break out the Beseler — I'll get the trays ready…

Album images disappear when I transfer music to my iphone

Hello
Album images disappear when I transfer music to my iphone. I have my music lying in Apple Lossles format and transfer my music to my iPhone after iTunes har convert the music to AAC format. How do I get ITunes to transfer my music with album images?

I am so frustrated with my new iPhone 5 that I want to throw it against the wall. I did the turn in your iPhone 4 for an iPhone 5. They said to go to itunes and add your music. Well, I have been trying to do this for the last two days. I tried to call support but I have to pay an additional $49.99 to actually talk to someone. I need some one that can actually walk me through the steps. I read that you have to reset to factory and then go to itunes to get the thing to work. My question is - will I lose all my pics too? So what are the steps to reset to factory and then what do I do next (on iTunes). Please help if you know the answer. If I can't get my music, I plan to go back and turn in this phone and buy a different non-Apple phone!

Pages disappear when using xoffset

Can anyone tell me why my pages disappear when using "crop pages xoffset" in Acrobat Pro XI? It works fine in Acrobat Pro 9.

The system has 4GB of memory. The processor is Intel Core i5 - 2400.
As per your suggestion, I updated the driver for the integrated graphics
card (Intel Graphics HD 2000). The new driver is dated January 2014. The
old driver was dated June 2011.
I tried to replicate the blank pages situation, and none went blank. Will
continue to test over the next week or so, but this looks very promising.
Many, many thanks, Pat!

Image disappearance upon using crop tool.

Using photoshop elements 6 , OSX 10.5, image disappears after using crop tool.
Have reinstalled software, but no affect. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Barbara... I am wondering if I can still get a bit of help in this topic. I tried that, but the files you mentioned are not in my preferences folder in my library. I am running CS4 on OS X 10.9.5 with a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics card(s).in another forum it was mentioned to go to Preferences>Performance>Advanced Settings>Change the drawing mode to 'Basic', but that didn't work. Another said almost the same thing but to check off the Open GL tab... also didn't work... I am at a loss... Can you or anyone else for that matter, help?
Thanks!

Why does a grouped image disappear when I ungroup it?

Why does a grouped image disappear when I ungroup it?

There are bugs hanging around for version after version after version. Hopefully it gets fixed but nobody knows when or if a bug will get fixed until it is.

My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position. In vertical, it works fine. I have powered off and on, checked that Safari Instant is on, and cleared Safari cache. Any help will be appreciated.

My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position. Vertically, it works fine. I have powered off and then back on. I have checked that Safari instant is on, and I have cleared Safari cache. Nothing has worked so far.

Okay -- it fixed itself. Without any intervention, after all else had failed, and I was willing to live evermore with vertical searches. If only everything else in my house mysteriously recovered from the broken state.
Have no idea what was/is going on with the disappearing keypad.

Images "Disappear" When Moving a Project But Really They'r e Just Invisible

Last night I imported 442 images into a new project. I rated them, and edited about 40-50. This morning I moved the project within the same library. When I did so, all the images disappeared, sort of. The project appeared empty. I let it sit a couple of minutes, and undid the move to no effect.
I checked to see if a filter was blocking the images but it was not the problem. I checked the Project properties and it showed the images were all there (plus, I use referenced files and I hadn't deleted the CF card so worst case scenario I had all my originals). Also, when I displayed all the projects in a browser view window, the project showed up and I could sweep through all the thumbnails in the project browser. But again, if I selected the project and tried to see the images in either the browser, viewer, or split view, nothing showed up. No thumbnails, no file names, no empty thumbnails, nothing. The photos were sort of invisible.
I "solved" the issue by moving an image - any image - from another project into the problem project. Suddenly that photo and all the other images, were visible. Removing the random image did not recreate the problem.
Since I no longer have the problem I'm posting for 2 reasons: (1) to publish the problem and my fix in case anybody gets the same problem, and (2) to see if anybody knows what caused this and if there is a more direct fix than my weird indirect fix. Thanks.

I have had the same thing happen consistently. I import images into a default project. Then when I move the project into an organizational folder... all the images disappear. After a couple of panics, I have now realized that if I stay calm, close Aperture, then open it again, the pictures are all present. Quite a pain in the butt, but at least there is a work around. Albeit a bit scary .
Best,
Jim

Images disappear when copying sheets

Hello,
In MS Excel 2010 I have a file with some data and images on it. This file's being used to make approximately 150 reports weekly. It has worked fine for quite some time, but all of a sudden problems started to occur today.
When I copy the sheet to another workbook, the data, formulas and formatting are copied properly, but the images seem to disappear (it makes no difference whether it's copied to a new file or a already existing file). This problem
occurs on systems with Win7, Excel 2010 (both 32 and 64 bits). Copying the file manually or with VBA both result in this problem.
The problem seems to be caused by the (security?) updates of today (december 9). On one system the problems occured after the installation of the updates. On another system the file worked properly until the moment the updates were installed (so halfway
the repetition of the proces it suddenly went wrong).
Does anyone know wheter this problem is indeed being caused by the update? Is there a way in wich I can work around this problem en get my images copied with the sheet?

The problem can be solved when using the answers given in the thread with the title "Excel 2010 macros does not work after updates 9.Dec.2014" postetd on
Wednesday, December 10, 2014 2:12 PM

Photoshop CS6 gets AppHang when using Magnetic Lasso Several Times

My operating system is a Dell Precision T3500 Windows 7 64-bit SP1 6GB RAM.
I opened a 102MB tif file which had been created in Lightroom4 by telling LR to edit in Photoshop. I already had a small .jpg open in one window -- I am using tabbed layouts.
I Used the magnetic lasso about four times to delete sections of the photo and replace them with a Pattern (grey backround). Several of the mask selections were to the border of the photo and I moved the curor for the lasso beyond the border of the photo. Then I used the polygon lasso two or three times to replace additional sections which had been left behind. I went back to the magnetic lasso. When I went outside the boundaries of the photograph this time, CS6 hung. I couldn't switch windows or do anything in Photoshop. Dead. The task manager said the program wasn't responding, and I used the task manager to kill it.

You could simply reach the limit of allowed points in a path. You will have to use multiple passes/ segemnts. I don't see why this should be a problem. Selections are selections. The path is merely a temporary representation of the selection border, the actual selection is pixel based, no matter what. Maybe look up a tutorial on how to work with saved selections/ channels? Just saying... Seems to me like you're trying to outsmart the program and doing everything in one go, which arely ever works...
