Lines when using the mixer brush?

PS said my hardware wasn't supported (not suprising, it's just a laptop from where I work), so this might be due to that. Though even things like the roate and larger mixer brush were running smoothly, so I'm not sure what's causing it.
I was just playing with the mixer brush, with some random colors and settings (since it was running so nicely): http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/2549/mixerbrushcs6.jpg
I put a green square arounf it the lines.
Is anyone else getting this?

What was the spacing on the brush? It looks like you came in from the edge with a wet brush and it mixed picked up paint with what is on the brush on the next applied tip.Try reducing spacing on your brush to around 3 or 4%, that should clear it up.

Photoshop CS5 keeps crashing when I use the mixer brush

Not sure what the problem is, I installed the trial version and have been using the mixer brush as it is an amazing tool, but the program freezes repeatedly. I have run the latest CS5 windows update. I have a pretty good system on windows vista 64bit, ATI Radeon graphics card, 6GB ram, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 2668 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s), Dell Studio XPS 435MT.
This seems to happen randomly but there is no escaping it. Does anyone know how to fix this program? It appears that my processes are only using 2GB of available 6GB of RAM.
I need help, this is killing me. thanks.

Are you running the 32 or 64 bit variant of Photoshop? Both are installed on a 64 bit system.
What kind of memory allocation are you allowing Photoshop to use? Check Edit - Preferences - Performance.
Also, are you configured to use the OpenGL acceleration? Same dialog.

What preset have you selected?
Can you post a screenshot showing the distortion.

Why do I get artifacts when using the adjustment brush to increase or decrease exposure?

When using the adjustment brush to darken a background I get white or light colored artifacts. When using the brush to lighten the eyes of a person I get brown artifacts that look like freckles in the area of adjustment. That didn't happen in LR 3.

Here are the screen shots with the original, with Auto Mask on and without Auto Mask.
Thanks to C. Frans W for the suggestion of it being an Auto Mask issue.
Dorin, if you have any other comments, I would welcome them.

Grey dot doesn´t appear when using the adjustment brush

In LR5, when I´m using the adjustment brush, the grey circle doesn´t appear. How can I make this dot to appear?
Thank you in advance.

I have just found it!
In the left inferior angle, below the picture I am working with, appears the text "Show Editting dots" (sorry if the text is not exact, I have the spanish version). Then, you have several options (Automatic / Always / Selected / Never). Do select any option but "Never".

Lightroom crashes when using the Adjustment Brush

everytime i try to use the adjustment brush it crashes lightroom? help
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Hey Brett,
Thank you for your quick respond
Well, there was a message after it crashed asking me if I want to report or send an email, which I did. Then it says that Adobe is an able to know the problem. Maybe this is the message you are talking about.
I have imported the same file from another source, and to a new catalog. same thing. In fact, I managed to apply both tools before it crashes, now every time I go to the same photo and just zoom in and out, it crashes.
I then uninstalled 4.3 and downgraded to 4.2. It works fine with this version (even the same old file that caused everything) it is just really slow version. 4.1 (straight from the CD) was REALLY fast and with no issues.. or maybe I didn't get to push it to its limits. 4.3 is slower but crashes. 4.2 is very slow but never crashes.
I'm saying that after uninstalling and reinstalling all these versions couple of times each.
I was considering upgrading my OS to 10.8.3 (even though I really don't want to) just to see if I can run 4.3 properly. But then I read that 4.3 is widely problematic and that is why 4.4 is coming out so soon.
What do you suggest? Should I stick with 4.2 for the time being? Just received a reply from another staff member saying that I should just wait for 4.4 Is there any time frame to the release?
Sorry for making it this long..
Much obliged

Aperture 3 hangs and crashes when using the retouch brush

Hi. I upgraded from A2 to A3 recently. I was pretty happy until I started to use the Retouch brush, which in best cases is incredibly slow (churns and churns...), and often makes A3 crash. It already killed one of my finest photo by corrupting the entire file. I am using a Macbook Pro with 2 GB of RAM and an Intel Core Duo processor, which is within the recommended system requirement. Anyone is having the same horrible experience? Any idea on why this is happening and what the fix is (besides buying a $3.300 Mac Pro?). If this is not getting better I am considering switching to Windows 7 and Adobe Lightroom...

Happening to me too,
A3 is the first time I've used it, on the 3.00 release besides the memory leak, I thought it was normal for the retouching to take ages,
but I think since the last patch its started to hang, a restart cures it, but its pretty poor tbh,

Lightroom 4.3 quiting when using the adjustment brush

Whenever I use the adjustment Brush in Lightroom 4.3 for Mac lightroom quits I have had no issues with any previous versions, back to lightroom 3. Is anyone else having this issue?

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

How to hide the extra line when use the AI pen tool

When I use AI CC pen tool to draw a line, when i click the 1st anchor point, " - " shows next to the Poniter ( I did not drag ) ,I tried to move, but an extra line coming out before I click another point. So I could not draw lines or curves! That extra line just follow the Pointer direction. I am using Window 32 bit, will it affect this? please help.

suetsuetwong,
Apologizing for my being so slow in the uptake, I believe I have finally grasped the meaning.
As I now (mis)understand it, you are seeing the (maybe overly) helpful Smart Guides in action.
You may ignore the line or untick Smart Guides in the View dropdown, or change their settings as desired.
The Smart Guides are trying to help you with snapping to directions, paths, Anchor Points, whatever, and also telling you where you are.

Blurred lines when using the stroke tool

Im trying to draw frames with feathered corners using strokes, its supposed to be a solid black line 2px thick it works sometimes but not others. What I end up with is a blurred edge, almost like it's using a spray which is not at all what I want, have tried changing various settings but its still the same.
Anyone any ideas please? It's driving me mad..
Thanks!

Yes, I was using the marquee tool to create the rectangular shapes then using the stroke tool. I took feathered setting off and that resolved the problem.
But...
How do I create rectangular shapres with rounded edges, then use the stroke tool?
I've changed the colour settings so it's not being 'filled' but when I try to use stroke it's now greyed out.
All I am trying to achieve is a rectangular shape with rounded edges with a black outline.
I thought it would be simple ;)

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.
Cheers,
Alan

3rd iPhone 5, due to purple lines when using the camera.

I am now on my 3rd iPhone 5 in a year, after a lot of hassle getting one, but that was down to Vodafone, never use them again.
My 1st 2 iPhone 5's were fine for about 5/6 months, and then when I used the camera a lot, they started getting purple lines on the screen.
The 1st time this happened it was there every time I tried to use the camera, but the 2nd time it happened it disappeared afterwards, but, as you would expect I still had it replaced.
Although the 2nd time the 'genius' at Kingston were not so helpful, and told me that it was software, and was due to me restoring from a backup from my previous iPhone, I explained that I hadn't, but they wouldn't have it, but then realized that I was telling the truth, but didn't apologize, just said, 'oh you didn't restore did you?'
My phone is now out of warranty and Apple can not guarantee it wont happen again, or what they will do if it does. and the 'genius' said to e-mail Apple, but couldn't give me an e-mail address.
I think I'll be returning to android when my upgrade is next due.
Who else has had this issue?
And what did Apple do? Did they help you?
Why do Apple have no e-mail address for customers, or even an actual address!
It seems unbelievable!

I have the same issue - perhaps not exact but extremely similar. In photo mode, there is a small purplish speck, which I initially thought as dust or something, and of course it ends of in photos taken. However, this speck is not present in video mode, meaning there is no dust, but some sort of artifact on the photo processor or something. Either way, itsa product defect - I plan on seeing if Apple will support this and replace thephone.....

Scanned Images Have Yellow Lines When Using the HP 2400 Scanner

I have a HP 2400 scanner. The scanner was working fine on Wednesday, Sept. 10. I tried to scan a photo (Jpeg) and a document (PDF) but there were yellow lines going through each item. I reconnected the scanner and attempted to rescan the photo and document. The yellow line still appeared. Please let me know what I can do to correct the problem.

Hello there,
To get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since your product is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums - Scanners.

Entire image moves when using the Healing Brush

After I alt/click to select the color for the brush, the entire image moves with the mouse. Any ideas on this?

It'll be the overlay moving. Enable "Clipped" as shown below:

Why is my working area blurred when using the adjustment brush?

I'm currently just doing some simple highlight and shadow adjustment painting, but each time I attempt to adjust an area, Lightroom blurs at least a 100x100 pixels around where I'm adjusting. This makes it nearly impossible to see what sort of effect my adjustment is having until after I release my mouse.

Here are the screen shots with the original, with Auto Mask on and without Auto Mask.
Thanks to C. Frans W for the suggestion of it being an Auto Mask issue.
