Mouse flickering on top of brush point in Photoshop CS4...

Recently the mouse has started flickering and not lining up with brushes when I'm editing photos in Photoshop CS4. When I use a brush, the mouse arrow will appear, flickering overtop of where the brush point is (the brush point flickers too when I move the mouse) so I can't see what I'm doing exactly. Really hoping someone can help! I installed the latest updates of Photoshop CS4 and it didn't help. Thank you!

Mac OSX 10.8.4
I really can't think of anything that has changed. I've just been using Photoshop the way I usually use it. I wish I could think of an easy fix! It strange because I don't even know where brush point is going to start working when I click because the arrow will sometimes flicker on top of the brush point and then sometimes an inch or more away from where the invisible brush is. I wish I could explain it more clearly. I tried to take a screenshot but arrows dissapear in screenshots. : S
Thank you for trying to help!

  • Mouse wheel only goes up?  in Bridge (Photoshop CS4)

    I'm experiencing a problem with Bridge (CS4) where the mouse wheel only scrolls upward.   Trying to scroll down causes erratic behaviour.   If you scroll in normal speed it always returns to the top.  If you spin the mouse wheel down fast, Bridge will scroll down some then move back up a little.   No problems in any other Adobe product such as Photoshop CS4. 
    Has anyone duplicated this behaviour?
    Any solution?
    NOTE:  WACOM tablet mouse works correctly.

    Same here. When using a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, I can only scroll up (or left in filmstrip view). Using a Logitech mouse scrolling works OK. I have been using the Microsoft Mouse for several years on Windows Vista x86 and the scrolling has been working OK in all applications including Bridge CS4 (and Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2.6 and so on). It is only when using Bridgde CS4 on Windows 7 x64 that I have problems with the scrolling (again scrolling works OK in Photoshop CS4 x86, Photoshop CS4 x64, Lightroom 2.6 x64 and so on).
    Update: I just checked and the scrolling actually works in the side panels. It is only the film strip and in the light table that scrolling is defective.
    Seems to be some kind of bug in Bridge CS4 when running on 64-bit Windows?

  • Vanishing point crashes photoshop CS4

    My Photoshop CS4 is constantly crashing when I use Vanishing Point. I saw a suggestion to send a full crash report but I have no clue how/where to access the crash report data. Can someone help me, please. I am working on an assignment and am so frustrated here.
    PS..am running Windows 7 (which is new to me) and so, am even more confuzzled than normal.
    Thanks so much
    Kristine

    Seems to me there was another report like this around here recently.  Might want to scan for it; I believe it was posted in the past few days.
    Check to make sure all your system components  - e.g., video drivers, Photoshop itself, Windows - are up to date.
    Video drivers can be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site.
    Photoshop CS4 is up to 11.0.2 - do Help - Updates...
    Windows Update can be used to see whether your Windows system is up to date.
    Beyond that, try this:
    1.  Click the Start button.
    2.  Right-click on Computer and choose Manage.
    3.  Expand Event Viewer by clicking the little > next to it.
    4.  Expand Windows Logs.
    5.  Click on Application.
    6.  Look in the list for Error entries corresponding to your Photoshop crash.
    7.  Click on the most recent Error entry.
    8.  Look in the pane below the General tab and note what the Faulting module is.
    9.  You may just want to copy the entire contents of that pane and post it here.
    Hope this helps!

  • Mouse randomly jumping while using most tools in Photoshop CS4 and CS5.

    Hi,
    I have recently been using my photoshop cs5 when all of a sudden the mouse has began to jump and move randomly when I am using some of the tools. For example, when I use the eraser tool it will not always, but frequently erase something in a random position on the page, and this is becoming a pain as I can be editing something zoomed right in and zoom out to find random areas of my drawing gone which can be very frustrating, but this problem is not restricted to the eraser tool, when I transform shapes with the transform tool occassional it will stretch the shape 4000pixels wide when I only go to increase it by 5, or when i try to move it, it just disappears and I find it outside of the drawing canvas.
    This is really causing alot of issues for me, so how can I resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Ben.

    Ok I am going to toss some thing out, they may sound silly or redundant but these are things we simply do not know that could cause issues.
    What type of mouse pad do you have?
    Highly reflective or worn smooth mouse pads or using desktop surfaces rather then a mouse pad can cause light distortion and cause jumppy behavior uneven survaces or highly reflective survfaces are bad too. the same can be said about overly light absorbent surfaces. as they can spread the light. Like if you are like me and have a wide arm cloth chair, you still need a mouse pad on the arm of the chair or your mouse pointer will jump as it travels accross the uneven surface.
    Do you have any other usb devices installed?
    Are you plugged into a USB hub and not the computer directly?
    Is it possable its your keyboard thats causing the issue. Unplug the KB then see if the mouse still jumps.
    let me know if any of this helpped.

  • Handles missing from anchor points in Photoshop CS4

    I am trying to etch an image in PS CS4, and the handles keep disapearing from the anchor points as I click and drag, when I close the path there are no handles, and when I use the path selection tool the anchor points appear but no handles, if I use the convert anchor point tool a handles appears but disapears again as soon as it is deselected. I am definitelty clicking and dragging to create the path so the handles should be present.

    If you want to show the handles that shape a section then click on that section with the Direct Selection tool (the white arrow) and not with the Path Selection tool (the black arrow).

  • Anchor points a missing photoshop cs4

  • I have lost the upper and lower tool bars on the Firefox home page. Now I have to scroll my mouse to the top of the screen in order to bring them up. How can I get the bars back?

    The home page fills my entire screen now and it didn't before. This happened about a week ago. I tried to do a Restore on my system but the problem still exists. The Firefox button on the left has disappeared too.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

  • Photoshop CS6: Screen flickers black when using brush tool on MBP 2013

    I'm experiencing a flickering black box whenever using large brush sizes on Photoshop CS6 using a Macbook Pro (16GB RAM, 2.8 GHz i7, Intel Iris, Late 2013 13") similar to what is shown on: black flickering boxes on Vimeo.  The issue stops if you: Preferences -> Performance -> Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" and restart the program or backrev to CS6 13.0.0 (or anything before 13.0.4). 
    I've attempted uninstalling/reinstalling CS6, resetting NVRAM and SMC, and verified the system is all up-to-date.  When booting in Safe Mode the issue is also resolved (as it appears Graphics Processor is disabled).  There appears to have been a similar issue on the 2013 Macbook Air that Apple released a fix for (MacBook Air (Mid 2013) Software Update 1.0) but I do not see anything regarding the Macbook Pro line.  Anyone experience/resolve this issue?
    I've contacted Apple Care multiple times and they say it is an Adobe issue.  And Adobe is insisting is a CPU/GPU driver issue just like the Macbook Air issue Apple already fixed.

    You may be able to get a display driver update from the laptop manufacturer.
    Unfortunately, if none of the workarounds is circumventing the problem for you, and there are no display driver updates that solve the problem, you may want to escalate it to the laptop maker.  They in turn can push through a new display driver update.  They should take responsibility for making your system work with modern, professional software.

  • Anytime I move my mouse my current window disappears. I move the mouse to the top left corner and then I comes back. How can I turn this off?

    Anytime I move my mouse my current window that is open disappears. When I move my mouse to the top left corner it comes back. How do I turn this off? It's not a Zoom issue, it disappears completely. Help please.

    Are you running 10.6 Snow Leopard as your profile indicates?
    If so, it sounds like maybe an Expose or Active Screen Corners issue?
    Go to Apple > System Preferences > Expose & Spaces > Expose and
    1. experment with the Active Screen Corners selections
    2. take a look at your F key settings for Expose
    3. lastly check your Dashboard settings

  • When safari is in full screen mode and I move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar and the bookmark bar, it does nothing.  Is anyone else having this issue?

    When safari is in full screen mode and I move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar and the bookmark bar, it does nothing.  Is anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks

    I just tested that since I hardly ever use full screen mode, this was the first time since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and it worked fine for me.
    Try shutting Safari down and see if that changes anything.
    If that doesn't change anything, try shutting down and then rebooting.

  • Where is the "brush pointer"?

    I am using CS6 Extended on an HP DV7 laptop. I am taking a course in photoshop and need to use the sharpen tool in conjunction with a brush preset. The instructions say to click on the sharpen tool (ok I can do that) then to click on the sixth preset in the brush presets panel (okay I can do that) then drag the "Brush pointer" (a rectangle with rounded corners) across the area I need to sharpen. That's where I get stuck. I actually was able to do it the first time I tried, but now I can't find the "Brush pointer" again. I've tried several options but now I am just getting a circle, not the rectangle with the rounded corners.
    Thanks.

    I have been experiencing this same issue on a new mac mini running lion and aperture. Today I went to a local mac store and tried to recreate the issue on all of their machines, the result was that the Imacs and the 15 and 17 inch MBPs did not demonstrate the problem, however the 13 inch MBP and the 11 and 13 inch
    MBAs both did. The machines demonstrating the problem were all dual core, and all utilising intel HD 3000.
    I am satisfied that it is not an issue with corrupt software on my machine or faulty hardware specific to me.
    Hopefully this can be remedied soon.

  • Flickering in top of screen after editing

    After editing an project in FCP X there's a small flickering in top of the screen (approx 2 mm.). The recordings are perfect, also after import. So the problem - which I haven't met before - arises after editing in timeline.
    Bw,
    Jonas

    Thank you, Tom.
    It begins approx 30 secs into http://youtu.be/tt-l3aJNDiY
    Recorded in the same camera I always use (without problems): Canon XA20.
    Do you know how I can analyze and fix problems with interlacing?

  • Mouse flickers on remote viewed workstation

    Workstations are winXPsp2, using ZfD7sp1IR1--when remote viewing the
    workstations the mouse cursor on the workstation being viewed flickers. If
    set to poll full screen it flickers about once a second. If set to normal
    refresh, and the target workstation is viewing a rapidly changing screen
    (like an online game) the mouse flickers constantly. Is there a way to
    overcome this problem? Thank you--Chris G

  • Disable fullscreen toggle via moving mouse to the top of the display

    Hello Firefox-com,
    is there any way to disable the fade-in of the toolbar triggered by moving the mouse to the top of the screen?
    Some of my webpages are running in fullscreen mode and have their on navigationbar at the top, everytime the uses moves the mouse up the Firefox menubar fades in which is quit annoying.
    I also accept solutions containing changes in the about:config.

    You can't disable this via changing a pref on the about:config page.
    You would have to do this via code in the userChrome.css file.
    Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    <pre><nowiki>@namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    #fullscr-toggler { display:none !important; }
    </nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    *Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
    *Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
    *Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    *Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.<br>Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

  • Mouse flickers does not work when try to open link in TB

    Fixed FINALLY-- TB, options, attachments-- the http was set to TD, used the dropdown menu, clicked on Firefox(default) and the thing was fixed. Why was it set to TB instead of Firefox?
