Liquify brush size increment sluggish with CS3, Intuos 3/window 7

Hi
     I have encountered a strange problem with liquify filter using Intuos 3 tablet pen after installing CS3 on my new Window 7 machine.
I always assign the shortcut keystrokes [ and ] to the pen buttons for increaseing/decreaseing the brush size. In my old Vista computer,everything was all good, the brush size changes continously and quickly when i press the buttons. But now the brush size only changes an increment by 1 pixel (should be 10 pixels?) by clicking it once and it no longer increases or decreases the brush size continously by holding the button.
     I thought it was Wacom drivers problems but i un-installed and re-installed their latest and oldest drivers and the problem remains. I wonder if it is CS3 glitch with Window 7? I have installed all Adobe updates for CS3. I would be very grateful to any advice.

It is Intuos driver problem. I downloaded the old Vista tablet driver to run on the Window 7 and problem  solved.

  • Photoshop Liquify Brush Size increase/decrease with alt+crtl drag don't work anymore...

    Hi :-)
    I have installed the last Update to Photoshop CS6 13.0.4...
    Now I can't increase/decrease the Brush Size in the Liquify-Dialog anymore (before I installed the update, it works fine with alt+crtl and drag)...
    If I press alt+crtl, the "Cancel"-Button is shown as "Revert", but the Brush resizing don't work... :-/
    I use a Mac on OS X 10.6.8...
    But it seems it has to do with the system... beacause at home I use 10.8.3 and there works everything fine with the 13.0.4 Update!!!

  • CS6 Liquify brush size

    In my system the liquify brush size goes from 1 to 151 to 301 to 454 and on up.
    It it not possible to get smaller brushes like 30 60 100?
    CS6 extended  Win7  Graphic Accelerator on (this makes no difference in brush steps) 

    Hi Curt,
    Since you PM'd me and asked nicely, I'll respond, but I really can't take any more of this public experimentation with the forum software.
    The Liquify brush size does jump in huge increments if you try to change the size by moving the slider with the mouse - probably because they changed the max brush size to 15,000 pixels.
    The increments it changes by are much smaller (by 2, not 1) if you use the up and down arrow keys to change the size.
    And of course you can type anything you want into the field.
    But possibly now the best way to use the tool is to use the right-click and drag gesture, which is now the same as when editing in the main Photoshop display.

  • Why is Liquify Brush Size so Out of Proportion?

    When I choose the Liquify option from the Filter menu, the Liquify tool opens and I have access to the custom set of Liquify tools. Unlike almost any other tool where you select a brush size, the Liquify tool requires you to modify the position of a slider rather than selecting the brush size dynamically by right-clicking.
    The problem is that the brush size selector control goes from 0 to 15,000px diameter. In order to make effective use of a 15,000 pixel liquify push tool, you'd have to have a really large image. Perhaps there is a case where someone at some time used a 15,000 px diameter nudge brush in the Liquify tool, but in my nearly 20 years of using Photoshop, I have never come across the need for a brush that large.
    Regardless, because the selector uses a linear scale, it is really difficult to select a small brush size (say less than 100px) without manually incrementing the slider.
    I would really like to see Adobe standardize the tool size/preset selector so that it is always available via the context menu (or equivalent) and that an option exists to enable relative slider values or percentage slider values in incremental selectors like brush size. Percentages could be setup where 100% was the largest side of the current image and then brush sizes could be selected via percentage of your image (of course converting to pixels, but the scale would be percentage-based). Even an exponential scale that favored the smaller values would be helpful. Or perhaps, movable caps that would allow you to set your own Max and Min values....that would rock.
    Are there are any plugins that solve this problem? Anybody have any advice on how I might be able to select more appropriately scaled brushes in the Liquify tool when I am working with images where a 15,000 pixel brush head is unreasonable.
    Any input would be greatl appreciated.

    R_Kelly, thanks for the reply.
    The problem isn't that there aren't enough ways to change the size fo the cursor, it's the relative scale of the cursor. I have two 37" Dell Ultra monitors on my desktop and to use the Alt-Right click method of resizing the brush (even on a 7500 pixel wide document at 300 dpi), I have to drag from one side of my dual monitor setup across 60 inches (whatever the horizontal width of a 37" monitor x2) about 50 times to get the brush to a size that I can actually see the outline of it.
    Then, once I can see the outline of the Nudge Tool (in the Liquify tools), if I drag about 3 pixels, the visible outline of the brush wildly jumps from full-screen to tiny. It's because the scale of the brush size selector is a mess. 95% of the sizes in the selector are bigger than the piece that I am working on. Does that make sense? Why would you be able to select a tool size bigger than your document? Furthermore why would you want 95% of the available tool sizes to be unusable? It doesn't make any sense at all.
    Thanks for the short reminder on brush size manipulation in general. I was surprised to see it work in the Liquify tool--though it didn't solve the issue.
    Best wishes,
    Jase

  • Changing brush size while erasing with adjustment brush.

    I have search around and have been unable to locate the short cut keys to increase and decrease the brush size while erasing. I use the bracket keys to change the brush size for the brush itself, but when I press the alt key to switch to the eraser, I can't figure out any short cut keys for changing the size of the eraser. It works to go over to the panel, but that is a pain. There must be a short cut for this. Thanks, Eric

    That's what I was afraid of. Hopefully in the next version. Thanks, Eric

  • Change brush size and hardness with CTRL-OPT-DRAG

    It may seem like an odd question, but I just can't use the shortcut to change size and the hardness of the brush in CS5 : Ctrl-Opt-drag
    I work on a MacBook Pro with a magic mouse. As soon as I click on CTRL, at the tip of the pointer, a small box appears (the icon of a menu) and then if I click, the small brush menu opens.
    I work on a french keyboard and I don't know how to get to change this shortcut since I'm not looking to reassign a key but an 'action'.
    I've reset all the shortcuts to original settings in the keyboard Preferences.
    Oh, and yes, I did select the OpenGL option.
    It sounds really easy but it's driving me crazy !!!
    If anyone has an answer, that would really help !
    Thanks,

    Ruedis, thanks for your input, but on a Mac, a Ctrl+Click is the same as a windows Right click (and one can Right Click with a mouse on a Mac), the Option key is the equivalent to the Windows Alt key (on my UK keyboard, it is also ALT that is written on the key. The Windows CTRL key is called Command on a Mac.
    So, on a Mac forum, saying CTRL-OPT-DRAG equals to saying ALT+Right Click on a PC one.
    In short:
    Win
    Mac
    Right Click
    Ctrl+Click
    Alt
    Option
    Ctrl
    Command
    Shift
    Shift
    Don't let this discourage you, please continue to share your experience, but be aware that sometimes, the problems are not cross-platform.

  • HELP WITH CS3 VERSION AND WINDOWS 8.1

    I have just purchased Photoshop CS3 on Ebay.  Unfortunately, I had no idea that it might not be compatible with windows 8.1.  Before I open the package and have no way to return this product, can anyone tell me if they have been successful in uploading this program with Windows 8.1.  I did find Adobe note saying that there were no known major issues ... but have read some other reviews that conflict with this information.  Thanks so much for any help you could pass on.  I do not want to "pay as you go" month to month for Photoshop ... would rather own an older version I am quite happy with.  Thanks

    Ok it's like the serial number model in that you download the actual Photoshop programs to your PC (you can install on up to two PCs or Macs for your own use).  But instead of a serial number, you set up a recurring charge account, and you sign in to activate the program.
    Your work can be saved anywhere on your computer just like the older serial number type. You keep your files even if you discontinue the subscription. Your files can still be opened by other programs, but if there was a feature exclusive to CC or CC 2014 you won't be able to edit it. But to answer your questions your files stay with you, Adobe doesn't see or possess any copies.
    If you decide to stay on, what you get is upgrades and new versions as soon as they are released. No more upgrade fees. You get the Extended version of Photoshop with 3D and video editing features. Not bad for $10 a month.
    You do get cloud storage, but only 2 GB and nothing goes there unless you upload it.
    Think of it as a holding place for the files you wish to share with others.
    You can get Bridge CC with the latest Adobe Camera Raw, and Lightroom for managing and editing large amounts of digital Photos.
    Typekit if you want to add new fonts.
    That's the short story, here are the ddetails and of course you can try before you buy.
    Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud
    If you are heavy into Design, you might want the full Creative Cloud for $50/month with all the web, video, and publishing tools you want.

  • How can I set the CS5 to Intuos Pro Large for changing brush size and opacity and others?

    How can I set together  to  my PS5 or Ps6 in order to change brush size and opacity at the Intuos Pro Large?

    The MTU setting on the interface is the layer 3 packet size. In this case, the MTU is set to 1500, but the largest frame size transmitted on the interface (including layer 2 headers) is 1516. It sounds like you are experiencing another problem at the LES.

  • PS CC – Brush size in Liquify filter

    Hello, who can help me? Since I have Photoshop installed CC works there the possibility to change the brush size by pressing the ctrl + alt key especially in the Liquify filter anymore. Anyone know the problem? The same problem I have with the zoom function. In PS 6 I was able to press the alt + space key and while moving the mouse in the image in or out back. also that no longer works?
    I look forward to your feedback.
    Thanks + Regards,
    Sascha

    You are the greatest R_Kelly!  Now it works – THANK YOU!
    But it´s still a mystery to me because the Graphic Processro was always activated.
    when I have checked the settings, following your recommendation, the system could not identify the graphic card…?
    then, when I copied your settings and made a restart, suddenly it works. ?
    however, I appreciate your help very well. this was the right way!
    when I had asked the German Adobe-guys in the summer academy, two days ago,they have had no idea!!

  • Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

  • CHANGE BRUSH SIZE WITH CTRL and alt KEYS

    Hello everyone,
    i'm on the road with my new macbook and i have a problem with setting up my wacom pen.
    At home i use a iMac with CS5 and to change the brush size i press the alt and the ctrl key and move the pen to left/tight up/down to chang size and hardnes of the brush. I find this very handy!
    On my new Macbook i have CC and i don't have the option to use this easy key combination, i was loking around and did some google, but i could not find the place to get the same settings on my macbook.
    Is there anyone who can help me?
    Thank you very much.

    When you press and hold Option/Alt  + Control  and Left mouse click and drag nothing happens?
    (the button on your pen is set to left click?)
    The Option/Alt key should always be the second key to the left of the spacebar
    The Control key should always be the third key to the left of the spacebar

  • Brush Disappears with Increased Brush Size

    Having issues with my news CS4. When I increase my brush size, no matter if it's an eraser, stamp tool or anything else, the brush cursor or "circle" starts to disappear once the brush is more than 175 pixels in diameter. I've checked preferences and the brush tool presets and cannot find why this is happening.
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks, NASAphotographer

    Update your video card drivers.
    This is a well documented problem. Also ensure that you have installed the Photoshop 11.0.1 patch.

  • Brush size won't change with bracket keys?

    Hey - I'm having an issue with Photoshop CC that I haven't encountered with previous versions of Photoshop (I've searched for solutions first - no luck). My shortcut keys for Brush size '[ & ]' stop working after choosing a different brush (even the default brushes). I can still use the Alt+mouse shortcut, but I'm old school and like using the brackets. I tried re-establishing my shortcuts in Preferences, but that did nothing. Suffice to say I'm quite frustrated as this has impacted the workflow I'm used to.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance.

    Thanks! It never occurred to me that caps lock would have any effect on brush cursors.

  • Brush size visualization

    Hi all,
    I don't know if this is new in CC or if there is a setting somewhere ( I am coming from cs3 to cc). How would one get the colored (red) brush sizing when alt-right clicking to change the brush size? Mine just shows the black ellipse outline, not the gradient edges for the brush. I am on a Mac with an Intuos pro.
    Thanks.

    The shortcut Alt + right click + drag left or right is the windows shortcut.
    On a mac it would be Ctrl + Option + Left click + drag left or right
    A couple things to note:
    1. Use graphics processor needs to be checked under Photoshop>Preferences>Performance>Use Graphics Processor
    2. The colored preview with either windows or mac, using the above shortcuts, only works with the default round brushes (brushes that the hardness can be adjusted) or presets made using the default round brushes as a base
        Sampled Brushes won't show the colored preview.
