Mark made by paint brush doesn't fill the tool's outline.

Mac OS X 10.8.5
Photoshop CC and Photoshop CS6
Using a mouse, not a tablet.
I don't know when this started, but it occurs in both PS CC and CS 6.
My paint brush tool is set to a standard, hard (100%) round tip, 100% opacity and flow. My paint cursor preference is set to normal brush tip which means that I see a circular outline representing the tip.
When I click the paint brush tool, I expect that the paint mark will completely fill the circular outline that I see. Instead, it fills some percentage less (perhaps 10-15%) than the circular outline. This occurs all the time and regardless of the size of the brush. As you can probably imagine, it makes precise painting impossible.
I assume that sometime, somehow, I changed a setting by mistake but for the life of me, I don't know what it could be. The only thing I've tried (because I can't think of anything else) is trashing my settings and that made no difference.
Can anyone help with this?
TIA,
Beth

It sounds like maybe your Cursor Size in the System Preferences>Accessibility>Display is set to something other than Normal

HT201335 Hi. I have an apple tv and am able to mirror the image on my ipad to my tv, however it doesn't fill the full screen. Is there a way to get a full image on my 32" Tv. Thanks a lot for your help

HI.I have an apple TV and am able to mirror the image on my ipad onto the screen. However, it doesn't fill the full 32" screen. Is there some way to project a bigger image onto the Tv. Thanks for your help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

The picture from my AppleTv on my Samsung LCD TV doesn't fill the entire screen. It is only a strip across the screen

The picture on the screen when viewing movies on Apple TV on a samsung lcd screen is only a strip across the screen and doesn't fill the entire screen. Any settings suggestions?

If you can get to the settings on the AppleTV attempt to adjust the resolution settings to something more appropriate.

When I Crop a video it doesn't fill the frame back up, it just outlines it in black and stays the same size

When I Crop a video it doesn't fill the frame back up, it just outlines it in black and stays the same size

No, I am using the crop function, and the directions say after I press done it will fill the frame, which worked a year ago. Now when using th Crop function, the black area stays black and the cropped video stays the same size. I even shared it to a Master file to see if it would process during sharing, but the black area remained black and the cropped video remained the same size. Still a bit frustrated.

Image doesn't fill the screen on my mac book, Why?

I have two black strips, one up each side of the screen and I can't find away of getting the image to fill the screen again.

it doesn't sound like you actually figured it out.

You can choose to right click your desktop or go to system preferenes. they all lead you to this screen.
if you are in system preferences and don't see where Desktop & Screen Saver settings are just type it in the search area.

My repaint( ) just re-paints but doesn't clear the back

Hi, i am using repaint( ) with the timer method to randomly draw 100 randomly colored lines.But every time the timer calls actionperformed which contains repaint( ), the application just paints the new 100 lines on top of the old ones, not cleaning the first painting. Maybe this is the way to repaint continuesly, but isn't repaint( ) supposed to clear the back. Here is my code, thanks for helping!
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class RandomLines extends JFrame
implements ActionListener {
private int x1,y1,x2,y2;
private int r,gr,b;
Timer timer;
public RandomLines()
super("Drawing Random Lines");
timer=new Timer(10000, this);
timer.start();
setSize(400,400);
show();
public void paint(Graphics g)
for(int i=1;i<=100;i++)
x1=1+(int)(Math.random()*399);
y1=1+(int)(Math.random()*399);
x2=1+(int)(Math.random()*399);
y2=1+(int)(Math.random()*399);
r=1+(int)(Math.random()*255);
gr=1+(int)(Math.random()*255);
b=1+(int)(Math.random()*255);
g.setColor(new Color(r,gr,b));
g.drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
repaint();
public static void main(String args[])
RandomLines app=new RandomLines();
app.addWindowListener(
new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
System.exit(0);
}

I reckon this might be part of it:
Container update(Graphics g):
Updates the container. This forwards the update to any lightweight components that are children of this container. If this method is reimplemented, super.update(g) should be called so that lightweight components are properly rendered. If a child component is entirely clipped by the current clipping setting in g, update() will not be forwarded to that child.
Component update(Graphics g):
Updates this component.
The AWT calls the update method in response to a call to repaintupdate or paint. You can assume that the background is not cleared.
The updatemethod of Component does the following:
Clears this component by filling it with the background color.
Sets the color of the graphics context to be the foreground color of this component.
Calls this component's paint method to completely redraw this component.
The apparently contradictory statements in the definition for Component are slightly puzzling - maybe they mean that "You can assume that the background has yet to be cleared"? This would also seem to imply that a Panel, being a container, does not clear its background, but that a Canvas does. I can't remember if this is the case. Anyone care to verify?--

Web form doesn't fill the whole screen

I have forms (version 6i) running on the intranet. When I run these as client/server the forms fill the whole of the physical screen; but when in the brower, the forms leave a 2 inch border on the right hand side. I want the forms to occupy the whole of the browser window, but cannot seem to be able to do this. I've tried maximizing the MDI and the form windows etc etc, but still no luck. Anyone have any advice?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
When displaying forms in web,
the size of the form that is shown in browser is based on the height and width that you specified in you html file.
The html file in this case means the one that holds your forms java applets.
eg. width=800 height=600
View source the html file when you run the forms in web.(right click to view source from the 2 inches area) and check what's your height and width.
Hope this helps.

I just got Windows 7 - and it's on a new computer, so there are no old settings that need to be 'fixed'. Why does Firefox open "squished"? It doesn't fill the whole page. It's margins are about 4 inches in, on both the right and the left.

I have no other details to add, that I know of. Firefox just does not fill the entire page.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

I do not have the "info button" as an option pages at I downloaded onto my iPad2. All I have is the paint brush, plus sign in the box, and a wrench.

I watched a video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2hC089Iri0 and noticed that I do not have the info button, nor the insert button or full screen button which are also described in the "Getting Started" document in pages on my ipad. Is this something I need to worry about?
Also wondering if you can make pages document in landscape or is it only for portrait?

With the latest release of iOS and iWork apps for iOS, Apple has changed the Toolbar buttons:
What used to be the i - Info Button where object properties and text were changed is now the Brush icon (For styles, I guess) but has the same basic function as the i icon before - select an object or some text and tap the brush and you can change basic attributes.
What used to be the Media Insert icon (representation of an image) is now the "+" Button with the same functions as the previous icon - you can add shapes, tables, charts and media
The Tools Menu (wrench) is the same as before except in Keynote it now also has the Transitions and Builds access menu (double diamond icon) which used to reside on the toolbar and is now tucked under the Tools Menu
The View Full Screen (double arrow icon) has been removed and the document is now always in full view, sort-of.
Apple has yet to update their Getting Started Files for Pages, Keynote and Numbers to reflect these changes so it is understandably confusing to users.

I was working with vijay in support but i lost him. anyway my problem is with tools in ps 2014. when i click on the delta, it doesn't reveal the tools underneath. im using a mac btw, and switched from a wireless mouse to a wired. doesnt help?

I can't get the tools under the tool icon to reveal. I plugged in a wireless mouse and doesn't help. It works for support on a shared screen but not for me. What do i do now?

I have a macbook running Mavericks and CC 2014
You do not single-click on the tool's triangle. You hold down the trackpad or mouse button on the tool itself (in the Toolbox) until the tools menu flies out.
Also Shift + tool shortcut will change tools for you. Shift + M for the different Marquee tools.

Hi, I have just upgraded my Aperture from 2 to 3 and cant find a desaturation brush which was amongst the tools in Aperture 2.

Hi, I have just upgraded from Aperture 2 to 3 and cant find the DEsaturation brush which I used to select from Image>Edit in A2 and does not come amongst the brushes from the Photos>Add Adjustment> or Quick Brushes in A3. Does anyone know where to find this essential tool?

there is no quick brush that you can do directly from the tools on the top of the screen if you're working in Full Screen mode?
In addition to the "Enhance" sliders that Frank pointed to, I see the "Saturation" in the "Brushes" Drop-down in Full-screen mode.
Only you have to set the amount of saturation first to a low value using the slider in the "Saturation" brick of the adjustment panel.
You may have to add the "Saturation" brick first to the "Adjustment" tab from "Add Adjustment > Quick Brushes > Saturation"
To add a "Saturation" brick permanently to your adjustments click the cogwheel in the Saturation brick and enable "Add to Default Set".
You can also save the setting - with the adjustment slider positioned as you want it - as an Effect:
Effects > Save as an effect.

Monitor doesn't fill the screen

Hi all, I'm using an Asus VN247 monitor along with my macbook pro (either 2012 or 2013 I cant remember which year) and it doesnt fill up the entire screen on the windows side (8.1). When I switch back over to the mac side however it works fine and fills to the edge. Does anyone know a fix for this? I have the settings to the highest resolution, 1920X1080 and cant find anything else that will effect it.

look under macbook pro here and download and install the right driver set for your specific machine

Is there a display for my MacBook Pro retina that isn't made by apple and doesn't cost the world?

Please tell if there is a display for my MacBook Pro retina that I don't have to pay tons for and will connect to my laptop!

I just plugged my 13" MBPr in to a cheap 24" 1080p BenQ using a Display port to DVI adapter and it works fine, crisp enough for my eyes and for around £115 a bargain.
edit: Picked it up from Amazon on a free next day delivery with Prime.

I want to increase my email screen to its full size again. What should I do?

TTry zooming out on it. Normally you pinch in to minimize, pinch and open your fingers zooms out, should make it full screen.
