Lightroom 5.2 freezes when using the spot edit tool with Wacom Intuos 5

Hi,
   I've been using Photoshop 6.x with my Intuos 5 for almost a year and it's been great.  I recently purchased Lightroom 5.2 only to discover that when I use the spot edit tool that it freezes when i use this tool as a brush.  It starts off smooth, but after brushing across my area i want to clone/heal, Lightroom seems to freeze up, and the spot edit tool is unusable.  I can lift my pen off the tablet and a few seconds later Lightroom comes back, but the tablet is basically unusable to me.  The mouse works perfectly fine.
  I've read other posts at the end of last year '12, that walks through some regedits and disabling some other tablet functions, but none of those work for me.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks Ed

I solved my own issue.  I saw an article @ http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?19694-Spot-removal-tool-doesn-t-work-with-Wa com-Intuos-5-in-LR-5 that solved my issue.
Step 1:
Walcom Tablet Properties
Step 2:
Click on Customize and change the default line graph from this:
Step 3:
To this
Step 4:
Click OK.
After that, my spot edit tool stopped freezing in LR 5.2 while i was using my intuos 5 pen.
Prior to doing this, I also did the procedure listed here:  http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8036
So it's possible that both need to be done in order for the freezing to stop.  I hope this can help others.

  • Cursor leaves when using the spot removal tool

    the cursor leaves when using the spot removal tool if i drag it to the right. how do i find it again?

    Below the image, to the left is the <Tool Overlay> feature. Click on the double-triangle and select <Always>. If you have it set to <Auto> it disappears when you leave the image area.
    See screen shot:
    If you don't see the <Tool Overlay> press letter T on your keyboard to make the toolbar visible.

    Is this just a setting?

    Thank you!  I feel so stupid -- I did search the internet--maybe not hard enough.

  • The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys

    The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys.. I have to restart to continue.
    Does it have to do with the disk utility?
    I already did the disc repair job

    Open System Preferences - Universal Access and check whether 'Mouse Keys' are activated.
    If so, then deactivate them. They could be the cause of your problem.

  • When using the clone stamp tool and press the alt key layer just moves

    when using the clone stamp tool and press the alt key to set a point it seem to create a new layer and just moves the layer arround. I can not get the clone to now work. what did I do?

    Open the Clone Source panel. I think you'll find the Clipped option is disabled. If so, enable it.

  • Lightroom 4.3 craches when using the brush after using redeye tool

    I have purchased Lightroom couple of days ago. I was travelling therefore I didn't have the time to upgrade to 4.3.
    The version shipped with the disk (4.1) was working like a dream. I have downloaded 4.3 yesterday and I couldn't be sadder. First I noticed that it cause the 'root' to use more CPU, meaning it doesn't use the CPU for Lightroom itself. Plus the the Application is generally and noticeably slower than original one.
    Today, I used the redeye tool for the first time, and I just can't brush on top of it without having it crashes!! It's just impossible. I rebooted. Updated my Mac to OS 10.7.5 ...  No use. I even uninstalled and reinstalled again. I was forced to do all my editing first in cluding usinf the brush, then use the redeye tool as the final step. But any moment I engage the brush after having used the red eye tool, it crashes instantaneously

    I suppose so. But the thing is that 4.2 runs just fine.
    But here you go:
    Processor  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    A bit oldish but I think it's fine (is that what you meant by set up? cuz I'm not entirely sure)
    I used the CD to install the first version 4.1 and just followed the instructions and that's what I do every time there's an update/upgrade.
    The catalog was suggested by the instructions to be put in the pictures file, so I did. and the images are there too. The other "technical" files that are related to how the software operates are located in the main Preferences folder (where all similar folders from other software are normally located"
    Thank you so much for taking the time to look at it. Do let me know if you have any other questions
    Cheers

  • Photoshop Elements 9 shutting down when using the Spot Healing Brush

    Hello! I recently downloaded and

    I really appreciate your help. Best regards, CharlesHHH.

  • Photoshops elements 9 shuts down when using the Spot healing brush

    Hello all, I just downloaded and installed a trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. Of course I wanted to use that supposedly great "heal" tool.

  • Return key not creating a new line when using the horizontal text tool

    Going through the adobe after effects 'classroom in a book' examples - when writing a line of single line using the horizontal text tool pressing return does not create the next line underneath, the cursor stays on the same line?
    Anybody out there had this problem?

    Hi Bill
    Thanks for replying!
    My OS is windows 7. I think it is the first time I have needed to put more than one line of text in an after effects layer. I am new to CS5.5 - after effects and I'm going through an adobe tutorial  'classroom in a book' series book.
    I thought about using a paragraph text box as you suggest but could not find the function in the tools menu.
    I have since tried clearing the cache out and restoring default layout but with no joy.
    I have used the return key for multiple line text in premier pro and it works perfectly ok.

  • When using the refine edge tool, my image is opposite....rather than the background being transparent...the "subject" is gone...do I have a  something set incorrectly?

    I used the quick selection tool to outline, then refine edge....
    my image does not shoe up in the refine edge window....it is a "mask"..
    then when I output to "new layer  with layer mask"....my "subject" t is gone...back ground remains...

    Thanks for your prompt reply!
    this is how the "finished" product looks...this is the image after I select "output to mask"..
    It seems "reversed"?

  • 5.5 Crashes when using the pin puppet tool

    Hopefully somebody can help me. Every time I try to use the pin puppet tool, I get the same error message:
    After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was <7320> <DynamicLink> <5> 000000001B5098D0
    Folloed by a message apologizing for the error and a last chance to save the project (which sometimes saves a blank project).
    I wasn't using any large images or doing anything to overload it. Help, please?

    Thanks for replying Todd. I do submit every crash report. I have been trying to re-enact my crashing problems and I have only slightly narrowed it down.
    I have noticed that the puppet pin tool only crashes my large projects (Illustrator file @ 3840x2160res fit into an AE comp of 1920x1080res with 30+ layers). My projects here at work deal with short animations, but I have made my comp size large so that I can pan around my scenes. I'm only using the puppet pin tool on 1 or 2 layers, but I feel that the program just freaks out because I have so many layers in my shots.
    After AE crashes and I reopen it, I don't have a problem with the puppet tool again.

  • Form - Can not use the Text Edit Tool in Adobe 9

    Hi,
    I was wondering if someone could please assist me, I have created a form but the text editing tool is coming grayed out, how am I able to get this function back?
    I simply need to remove one word and am unable to do so.  It tells me that some functionality is restricted for extended features and to save a copy.  but when i save a copy I am still unable to use the touch up tool.
    My Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    My guess is that you did use LiveCycle Designer and are not aware of that. Designer is accessed from Acrobat in the forms menu and may have come up even if you were not aware of it. If that is indeed the case, you can only edit the text in Designer.
    If it is an AcroForm, then it may be that you have activated Reader Rights or such. To remove Reader Rights, there is a specific procedure to use and unfortunately I do not remember it. If you have Reader Rights activated, indicate that and someone should be by that remembers how to remove the feature so you can edit the document. The removal is not as simple as one would think, but is rather straight forward. It involves saving or such -- I just don't remember and it is not something I am finding in the help menu.

  • Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite my PSE12 freezes when using the clone tool. How do I fix ?

    I am looking at a way to fix this freeze as it has completely stopped my workflow which includes patching for each and every one of my 360 degree panoramas.  Read: "This is the main reason I purchased PSE12"  How can I fix this ? If not does reinstalling help, and if so, where do I go to download the free version without having to repurchase the products since I already have the serial number ?  Thanks
