    I downloaded Photoshop Elements 10 on to my new computer but smudge tool is now missing.  How do I get it?

    Make sure your in the Full Edit mode and then you can press Shift+R to cycle through the tools that are in the same slot as the Smudge Tool.
    Or click and hold on the Blur, Sharpen or Smudge icon in the toolbox to see the Smudge Tool

  • Looking for the burn and smudge tools in photoshop 8.0

    Hi,  I have been using Photoshop 4.0 and loved it.  Got a new computer and had to change to Photoshop 8.0.  I can't seem to find the burn or smudge tools I used in the 4.0 photoshop.  Is any one familiar with this problem?

    Assuming you mean Photoshop Elements 8.0, then they are located under the Sponge and Blur tools, respectively.

  • Photoshop submenu is missing under tools menu in bridge

    I Have downloaded the new Photoshop CC 2014 and updated Bridge. Trying to send some pictures from Bridge to photoshop as layers is not possible because the photoshop submenu is not available under tools.
    Checking Bridge preferences > start up, does not show Photoshop.
    Checking Library> Adobe > BridgeCC > start up, does not have Photoshop in it.
    Can somebody help me restore the Photoshop submenu.
    Thanks
    Rene. 

    Today when I start Bridge it had a message asking if I want to install a "Photoshop extension”.
    So my problem is solved.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem when trying to do a photomerge.
    Work around by opening files than doing 'add open files'

  • My Smudge Tool isnt blending correctly like it should?

    My smudge tool isn't working correctly like it should in Photoshop cs5. Can someone help me?
    Heres an example. :

    When i do that, the image just messes up, My intention , for example. say i wanted to do a makeup edit, and i wanted to the picture to be more realistic so i added black around the noise and used the smudge tool to blend in the mark to look like it was drawn in a bit. Instead of doing that the smudge tool just goes one straight direction just as in the picture above.

  • Smudge Tool Double Brush Bug Issue

    I have a very strange problem that just appeared in my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS5 Version 12.0 x32
    Out of nowhere I've noticed that when I use the Smudge Tool my brush will randomly have 2 points instead of one.  I've looked all through my brush settings and everything is normal in the defaul brush settings.  Yet when I go to smudge something I get the normal smudge point and then 10 or so pixels away another Smudge Brush at about 50% the size of the normal brush is smudging my image as well.  This makes the smudge tool basically useless and I seem to be the only one who has this bug.
    Has anyone had a similar bug and is there any solution besides reinstalling?

    I check Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and they don't have a smudge tool or anything that looks like it. But their app is really impressive for a company specialised in 3D. I might spend more time on it. Infinite Painter, a bit buggy and slow, have now a move tool that does something "similar" if you play with the parameters. But if you press too much it acts like a pinch. Thing is their move tool seems to blend colors without darkening them... their might be a way !
    So of the 3 drawing apps that I have, none have a smudge tool. Which is scary. It seems that transparency is definitely a complex (nothing is impossible to code) thing to code. I'm sure the brains behind Unreal Engine would say it's doable.
    Let's wait and hope. But without that, the future of drawing apps on Android is seriously compromised.

  • Smudge tool with sampled Brush Tip behaves wrong on 100% strength in CS6

    Hey everyone. I'm using CS6 beta on OSX 10.6.8 on Macbook Pro at home and Imac at work.
    I used two smudge brushes: one is round and one is sampled from an image. All controls are turned off.
    Here's an example on Smudge tool in CS5. Both round and sampled acts the same at 100% strength:
    Here are round and sampled Smudge Tools in CS6:
    Next: Smudge Tool on 99% Strength (Sampled tip)
    CS5:
    CS6:
    As you can see, on 99% Smudge acts the same in CS5 and CS6 and on 100% Smudge in CS6 acts wrong.
    Sergey.

    It looks like this is an issue when using 100% Strength and a Sampled tip that has been changed in size from what it was sampled at. If you click the Restore to original size button next to the size readout in the Brush Tip Shape pane of the Brush panel, it does not appear to encounter the problem, and as you noted values other than 100% do not show the problem. Thanks for reporting this.

  • CS5 Smudge Tool no longer smudges, have reset prefs

    Hi!
    I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure why the smudge tool in cs5 no longer behaves like a smudge tool when trying to smudge from a transparent area if the layer into the image part of the layer..
    I have deleted my tool preset and the whole adobe preferences file, i also am sure i don't have fingerpainting on or anything like that..and nothing seems to work!
    the smudge tool acts correctly when smudging from within the boundaries of the pixel area, but if i try to smudge a layer that has any transparency around it, and i wish to smudge into the pixelated areas from outside the boundaries of the image (starting from transparency into the image) it just doesn't work anymore..
    (say i use the pen tool to cut off the arm of a person and make a new layer using the selection, so now i just have the free floating arm with transparency all around it..if i  smudge from within the image outward to the transparent area, it works fine, but if i try to reverse that, and smudge from the transparent area into the image, it just does nothing!
    CS4 smudge tool still works fine, as does every other function in cs5..except for this!
    Can anyone help me?
    it would be much appreciated!

    Before you resort to such drastic measures.
    1. Trash the preferences again, just to be sure.
    2. If you have a 64 bit os, check both versions of cs5.
        That is the 32 bit version and 64 bit version.
        See if both have the same problem.
    3. If you use a tablet, try unplugging it and use the mouse.
    4. Open GL
        If you have open gl enabled in cs5, go to preferences>performance
        and turn it off.
    5. Video card
        Check that you have the latest drivers for your video card.

  • Smudge tool problem on PS CS6

    Hi guys, I got used to PS CS4 before buying CS6 for my graphism classes and the smudge tool was standing still when using it (Keeping the same shape).
    Now on CS6, when I use the smudge tool, the brush is changing at every swipes I do. Is there a way to keep it like in CS4 ?
    Thanks in advance guys !

    Do you have "Brush Projection" checked?

  • Smudge tool paints white

    My Smudge tool is acting like a white paint brush, how do I get it to smudge in Photoshop CC?

    Hi,
    In the tool options bar do you have Finger Painting checked?
    Is your Foreground color in the toolbox set to white?
    Also, the higher you have Strength set at, the more of the foreground color the smudge tool will paint with Finger Painting checked
    and 100% Strength will just paint the foreground color only.

  • Ok who messed with my smudge tool?!

    For almost a decade, I've been using Photoshop for digital painting.  I use a very simple approach with round brushes.  The smudge tool has always allowed me to paint fast.  At a low strength, it USED TO do nice, soft blending even if I had a hard edge brush.  At a high strength, it USED TO let me define clean edges very quickly. 
    In fact, at 100% with strength set to pressure, I could do soft blending or define edges with no adjustments to settings.  Or I could only set size to pressure to pull out long strands of hair or blades of grass, with a perfect taper.
    NOW, it's more like pushing pixels around in the liquify filter...WHY?  I can't do smooth blends or sharp edges the same way at all!  And I certainly can't pull out fine lines for hair, grass, etc...  It's like the smudge tool in Sketchbook Pro...yuck
    This change has screwed up the most important digital painting tool in my arsenal.  PLEASE FIX!

    It's behavior has been changed since CS6!  see:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1021785
    At 100%, it does not work right, and needs to be fixed.  It is user friendly to slide quickly to the right for 100%.  So much so that I didn't even notice 99% works!
    At 99% and below, it seems ok.  However, I will have to test side by side with CS5. 
    In the attached img, 100% does't do much.  The marks you can see were applied with heavy pressure.  The fine lines at 99% were with very little pressure, and you can see how I use it for hair, etc.
    Please report this bug.  As a long time Photoshop user, this isn't a change for the better.  That said, I love PS and am thrilled I get to paint tomorrow!  Been staring at too much html & css...

  • PS cs6 13.01 no fix for smudge tool

    here's the difference for me- cs6 seems to act differently than cs5, which lets you "draw" with the smudge tool- cs5 and 6 feel about the same until
    the smudge tool is at %100 strength, then cs6 feels like it's working MUCH harder to keep up.
    gpu acceleration on or off, no effect,
    mac pro
    ATI Radeon HD 4800
    problem not fixed in latest cs6 update

    Here's an objective test:
    Make an image 3000 x 2000 pixels (e.g., resize a digital camera image).  Zoom it to fit on screen.
    Select the Smudge Tool, set the brush and options as shown here:
    Set the status display at the lower-left corner of the document window to measure Timing:
    Now click the Smudge Tool once but don't drag in the upper-left corner.
    Now hold the shift key down and click down in the lower-right corner.
    The Smudge Tool will be stroked in a diagonal across the image, and when it's done the time will be displayed in the status area.
    Here's what I got:
    Strength: 50%
    Photoshop CS6:  5.8 seconds.
    Photoshop CS5:  6.7 seconds
    Strength: 100%
    Photoshop CS6: 3.2 seconds.
    Photoshop CS5: 2.9 seconds

  • Camera raw missing clarity tool

    all of a sudden in my camera raw window i'm missing the clarity tool and i have no idea how to get it back? i think i might be missing another tool but i'm not sure. i tried reinstalling CS3 but no luck. has this happened to anyone else? any fixes?
    thanks!

    Buko is correct. The number in the name of the preferences file does NOT match the actual plug-in version number.
    I attempted to report this
    minor bug late last year, but the creator of ACR and Ps does not consider it a bug:
    (Minor?) Bug: ACR Preferences file does not match ACR version number
