Liquify tool problems - not applying effect

Hello guys, just trying to create an effect with the liquify tool but I'm running into major unexpected problems. Basically what I want to do is create a wave effect with a long and narrow rectangle. What I do is: select the layer I want to perform the liquify tool, then go to filter liquify, a window pops up and I get to make an effect I like, I then press ok and nothing happens. The effect I created in liquefy isn't applied to the rectangle. Why is this? I have search Google numerous times trying to find a solution, but not many people have run into this problem. I have done a complete re-install with no success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Daniel

Sounds strange, indeed. Barring mundane memory issues, the only thing I can think of, is that not all channels are active (or you work on a custom channel, respectively) when working with the filter and the result therefore doesn't get applied. That shouldn't normally be a problem, either, but some filters have the strangest mind of theior own...

  • Help! The liquify tool is not working as expected in Photoshop CC.

    I have used CS5 for a couple years and used the liquify tool very frequently without issue. I subscribed to Photoshop CC 2 weeks ago and have been having this problem with the tool:
    When I use Bloat, Pinch or Reconstruct, it seem to over-do its function and completely distorts the photo, even with a single click. If I move the cursor even a millimeter, the whole image gets sucked into a blank circle the size of the brush. See examples (I used Bloat for these):
    Single Click with Brush Density 50:
    Single Click with Density 0:
    Moved the cursor a tiny bit to the right:
    I have tried adjusting the brush density, brush rate. I have reloaded Photoshop several times. I searched online for a solution and tried the "Kelby trick" by pressing Shift while starting up Photoshop. None of those work. I have only had CC for two weeks and have not changed any settings (except increased history states to 99) and have not installed any plug-ins or anything.
    Any ideas how to fix this? It used to be one of my favorite tools!

    OK, that's strange.  I see you have brush pressure set at 1, and the other settings are sensible, so a bit of a mystery.  Have you tried both mouse and tablet?  If it happens with one and not the other you could check that device's settings.  Might be down to deleting preferences unless someone else has a bright idea.

  • Liquify tool problem

    For some weird reason my liquify tool is acting up. Only the forward wrap tool is working. Rest all others like pucker or bloat have simply stopped working. Anyone has a suggestion?

    I suspect chasing down an answer directly from Huion is going to be a frustrating experience, but that's the price you pay when choosing a discounted product directly from China. 
    Hmmm...  Having just made that comment, I had a quick hunt for 'Huion table driver problems' and found a few decent hits including this one with a factory contact person.  Kind of like this forum with its Adobe staff posters.  There's someone called Jeny in this thread

    Something else I like to do when thinking about kit, is read the user comments from people who own them, on sites like Amazon and B&H

  • Problem with applying effects in iMovie

    Students are having problems whenever they apply video effects to footage. So far they have tried 'Adjust colours, B&W and brightness contrast' When applying the above effects the screen became pixelated. The students pressed apply anyway and the effect appeared to be applied but everytime they tried to playback their film, it froze when it reached the scenes that had an effect applied to them.
    Many thanks

    IM6 originally was designed for OS 10.3.9 and works well with higher. I use 10.3.9 myself with no problems.
    With your various computers and operating systems you may be getting a mismatch of iLife programs. A lot of times an outdated Quicktime can cause problems. 3rd party plug-ins can cause problems as well.
    Before you do anything, make sure that your computers have at least 20GB of free space on your boot drive, after loading your project. Then I would try the oft applied maintenance of deleting preferences and doing a permissions repair. To delete preferences, close iMovie and trash the file named com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app found in HD/Applications/Utilities. In the left hand pane of the Disk Utility window seclect your hard drive icon and then click on repair permissions. Takes about 3 minutes to repair. Then relaunch iMovie and see if you still have the problem. iMovie will recreate the .plist file that you deleted.
    Also, iMovie playback is pretty low resolution. Your final burned project will display much better. You might try a quick share to iDVD, takes just a few minutes, and play back the project in iDVD. You should get much better resolution there, and a smoother playback.
    I am reluctant to suggest updating programs for fear of possibly causing or aggravating any mismatches with the various machines and operating systems that you have in use. So I will leave that to your own discretion. As I mentioned, an outdated Quicktime can sometimes cause problems.
    Perhaps others will post with more suggestions.
    Good luck with this.

  • Photoshop CS4 Liquify tool issue...

    I have recently upgraded from CS3 to CS4 and now find that the liquify tool does not work in "real time". On CS3 I had no problems. Now when I try to perform an action, I click the mouse and get the beachball for a few seconds then the results. As you can imagine, this is extremely frustrating. I am running it on my 24" iMac, 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo with the maximum 3 GB ram.
    Any advice will be helpful.
    Thanks!

    *My* first post was #11 ;)
    Scratch disk: Internal HDD only. Then about 10Gb free. (Too little, I know)
    Memory: 100% (3072Mb out of the 5.5Gb in the machine). Tried setting "maximum ideal" (71%: 2211Mb); no difference.
    But the point is, if I connect a FW external, PSCS does *not* slow down, but does use (allocate) 10Gb on that disk when liquifying. (I'd notice a slow down if it actually wrote 10Gb over FW800, ,so I don't think it uses any; light on the disk also shows no activity.)
    Cache and temp were cleaned before. (OnyX).
    FW External is a 500Gb, two partition, one of 160Gb (16Gb available), one of 305Gb (167Gb available).
    The USB drive was from work, so not here anymore, but IIRC it's also 500 Gb, 1/2 to 2/3 filled.
    On a side note (maybe totally unrelated): Why is PS using 3Gb of virtual memory, when there's still 3Gb available? (PS starts using VM when there's still *a lot* of free memory. (I know the difference between "free" and "inactive")
    (This is for testing: with approx. 10 files open, 190Mb each )

  • Liquify tool displays a black screen

    Liquify tool does not work properly. Displays a black screen while working on a .jpeg file. My system configuaration is:
    OS: Windows 8 (64 bit),
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3632QM CPU @ 2.20GHz,
    RAM: 8 GB DDR3,
    HD: 1TB,
    Resolution: 1366 x 768 Pixel,
    Graphics: Dedicated Graphics Memory Type: AMD Radeon HD 8730M, 2 GB, DDR3

    Refer to this:
    I can’t see my images and only get a black screen (or strange pattern).
    Liquify is GPU accelerated. Update the driver or turn off GPU stuff.

  • PSE8 - having problems applying effects via Smart Brush Tool - PLEASE HELP

    So this problem has started and it's driving me a little nuts.  It doesn't happen on every image. And it seems to only happen when i use the smart brush tool to brush on effects. Sometime when I use the tools and start selecting my area the select freaks out and just goes all over when all i've done it clicked the cursor on a little area. Sometimes it doesn't. Weird.
    BUT also, when I am able to select whatever and then i go to "refine edges" to smooth things out it flips out again.  It adds random lines and boxes of color and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! It's driving me crazy!
    I've already "reset the tool", upped my RAM, and I've uninstalled/reinstalled the program.  None of these has stopped the problem.
    These images are examples of what the "refine edge" button does when it decides to have a mind of it's own.  For both pictures I attempted to add the "cloud contrast" effect to the greenery and background.
    (In the top picture there are lines and boxes of colors inthe dad's coat. As well as distinct lines where the effect ends when it should have blended.)

    Next time you see that happen try Select>Deselect, choose the
    paint brush tool and paint on the layer mask with either black or white
    on the problem areas.
    Do the artifacts go away when painting on the layer mask?

  • I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

    I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

    I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
    First close Photoshop.
    Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
    It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

  • Lighting effects not working, 'Could not apply the workspace because there is not enough memory (RAM)' with 4GB RAM?

    Tried to use 'render/lighting effects' on 5 more or less new different laptops now. All kind of Window versions.
    They all have at least 4GB RAM. The Graphic Card is compatible.
    Layer to work on is RGB-Type.
    It's all about Photoshop CC 2014, trial version.
    When I go to 'Lighting effects' it says first:
    'The 3D features require that 'Use Graphics Processor' is enabled in the Performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirements and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly.'
    - I switched the 'Use Graphics Processor' on and off and restarted new - nothing happens.
    - Video card is compatible.
    Second it says:
    ''Could not apply the workspace because there is not enough memory (RAM)'
    - RAM on all the computers I tested it with is at least 4GB
    Please help!

    We would need to know the amount of Video ram you have. If it is above 512 MB, then check for driver updates.
    Windows OS
    Click Start.
    On the Start menu, click Run.
    In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
    The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab.
    On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Device section. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.
    Once you know the kind of graphics card you have, visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest driver. Here are links for downloading drivers from the most common graphics card manufacturers:
    NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
    AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
    Intel: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/

  • Effects Do Not Apply

    Hello,
    I'm fairly new to FCE, but I feel like I have everything set up right and still can't get the effects to apply to a clip. I have followed the tutorial and manual's description on how to apply the effect, and the effect properties show up in the viewer, and I can edit the properties, but there is no visual change to the clip. I'm running unlimited RT and there are no colored lines suggesting that I need to render at all (I even tried Command+R and nothing changed).
    I'm using a Canon HV30 camera, settings are to record at 1080i HDV30, and my Easy Setup settings are HDV 1080i60. FCE version 4.0.1
    Thanks for the help!

    I'll try to make this not be confusing, but no promises.
    I re-installed, and it worked, but I don't know if that was the solution.
    At first, I re-installed (and installed the 4.0.1 update) and it didn't work, I still had the same problems of the effect not working properly.
    I then opened another project that I had from this summer, and tried applying the effect, it worked. I don't know if it would have worked before the reinstall, however, because I did not test it...who knows.
    However, I go back into my original project and try again, and still, it doesn't work.
    I open up a new project, drag the clips from the original (troubled) project, and voila! It worked.
    So, either the re-install helped, or somehow that one project got corrupted, I don't know. But it works now. Thank ya very much!

  • [solved][laptop-mode-tools] hard drive power settings not applied

    I've used the laptop-mode-tools now for quite some time. However, recently the power management settings are not applied anymore. Possibly since updating to systemd...
    My laptop-mode.conf looks as follows:
    CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1
    # Power management for HD (hdparm -B values)
    BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=254
    LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
    NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
    However, even after doing a systemctl restart laptop-mode-tools.service I always get
    $ sudo hdparm -B /dev/sda
    /dev/sda:
    APM_level = 96
    Setting it manually works:
    $ sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
    /dev/sda:
    setting Advanced Power Management level to 0xfe (254)
    APM_level = 254
    $ sudo hdparm -B /dev/sda
    /dev/sda:
    APM_level = 254
    Of course, the settings are lost upon rebooting in this case.
    Any idea where the problem could be?

    I apologize if it is bad style to answer to a post marked as [solved] but:
    Same problem here!
    HDParm-settings are not applied on boot by LMT.
    laptop-mode.conf:
    # Should laptop mode tools control the hard drive power management settings?
    # Set to 0 to disable
    CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT="auto"
    # Power management for HD (hdparm -B values)
    BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=100
    LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=200
    NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
    # hdparm -B /dev/sda
    /dev/sda:
    APM_level = 96
    Any ideas or solutions on this so far?
    And why is this post marked as 'solved'?
    edit:
    1.) manual set hdparm-settings survive reboot but not suspend!
    2.) no difference between CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT="auto" or "1"
    3.)
    # systemctl status laptop-mode
    laptop-mode.service - Laptop Mode Tools
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/laptop-mode.service; enabled)

    Process: 664 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/laptop_mode init auto (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
    4.) pointed out that this seems to be a bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33262 as systemd does not restore apm values on wake up.

  • I have one problem with Data Guard. My archive log files are not applied.

    I have one problem with Data Guard. My archive log files are not applied. However I have received all archive log files to my physical Standby db
    I have created a Physical Standby database on Oracle 10gR2 (Windows XP professional). Primary database is on another computer.
    In Enterprise Manager on Primary database it looks ok. I get the following message “Data Guard status Normal”
    But as I wrote above ”the archive log files are not applied”
    After I created the Physical Standby database, I have also done:
    1. I connected to the Physical Standby database instance.
    CONNECT SYS/SYS@luda AS SYSDBA
    2. I started the Oracle instance at the Physical Standby database without mounting the database.
    STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\database\initluda.ora
    3. I mounted the Physical Standby database:
    ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE
    4. I started redo apply on Physical Standby database
    alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session
    5. I switched the log files on Physical Standby database
    alter system switch logfile
    6. I verified the redo data was received and archived on Physical Standby database
    select sequence#, first_time, next_time from v$archived_log order by sequence#

    Please help me!!!!

    Hi,
    After several tries my redo logs are applied now. I think in my case it had to do with the tnsnames.ora. At this moment I have both database in both tnsnames.ora files using the SID and not the SERVICE_NAME.
    Now I want to use DGMGRL. Adding a configuration and a stand-by database is working fine, but when I try to enable the configuration DGMGRL gives no feedback and it looks like it is hanging. The log, although says that it succeeded.
    In another session 'show configuration' results in the following, confirming that the enable succeeded.
    DGMGRL> show configuration
    Configuration
    Name: avhtest
    Enabled: YES
    Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
    Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
    Databases:
    avhtest - Primary database
    avhtestls53 - Physical standby database
    Current status for "avhtest":
    Warning: ORA-16610: command 'ENABLE CONFIGURATION' in progress
    It there anybody that experienced the same problem and/or knows the solution to this?
    With kind regards,
    Martin Schaap

  • Adjustment layers effects not applying when flattening image or merging layers CS6

    So about a week ago I noticed something changed with my adjustment layers. In an image I would make a selection and start using adjustment layers to edit that selection, and then once I was finished, I would merge the adjustment layers together so that I could erase outside areas where the effect was not intended. However, whenever I merged the layers, the effects would go away and the thumbnail preview by the layer title would become blank (gray and white transparent) as if there was not anything on the layer. I messed around and I reset Photoshop, and then I thought the layers were fixed. They were somewhat fixed, except I've started having trouble again. Now I'm having difficulty editing this one image i'm on. It's a portrait with a photoshop-created red mask going around eyes, and I used the dissolve layer effect on the original mask creation which was black at first. Then I selected that selection and made more layers editing the hue, saturation, brightness/contrast, and exposure.
    I tried to save the image as a jpeg, and the effects were messed up. The hue and all other adjustment layers seemingly applied, except the dissolve effect does not show up at all. So I tried to fix it manually. I flattened the image first with intention to then save it as a jpeg, but as soon as I flattened the image, again the dissolve effect was not applied. Then I tried to merge the layers, and yet again, the dissolve effect was not showing up. It shows up fine in PSD form, something's wrong with the conversion process. Please don't be mean to me. I'm not great at photoshop, I'm not saying that I am or claiming to be a pro or anything I just want help from people who actually get it. I have CS6 and use a Macbook Pro.

    I stopped even trying to read this append. For is seems very complex and overwhelmed my little mind. Please consider including some screen captures showing your Photoshop window with your document that your writing about open and the layer palette shows the structure of the document. For me examples and screen capture of the steps involves involved would be very helpful.
