Multiple tools not working correctly in CS4

Hello!
So I didn't see any topics that related to my issue so here goes:
I was drawing in Photoshop, no issues, but after I tried to copy/paste a selection of the picture, I realized that nothing was copying or pasting at that. (Now before anyone asks, yes I am on the right layer and I know the correct keys/drag down menu area to use to copy or paste) Later, I tried to use the line tool but that only made a clear line shape but nothing else.
Now I've tried reseting the preferences, restarting photoshop, resarting my /computer/, but nothing's working.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you for your time!

Hello!
What OS version are you using?
And you are aware there is Shape option and a Path option for the drawing tools?

Eye Dropper Tool (Color Picker Tool) not working correctly - Premiere CC - Windows 8 - Multiple Displays

I'm running Windows 8, Premiere CC 2014 with two monitors. The eye dropper tool (color picker tool) isn't working correctly. It is selecting colors that are not the colors being hovered over. I've reasearched and see solutions to the problem when occurring with Mac, but do not see a solution for Windows. When I disconnect the second monitor, the eye dropper tool works correctly (as described by Mac users). I deleted any profiles for the montors that weren't the same, and still having the issue. I've also tried putting the source monitor on the second monitor, and tried sampling color from there... same result.

Hello All,
Problem solved...I reset all tools in the Tool Preset window. Seems to be working.
Hope this helps someone...
Cheers!

3D rotate tools not working correctly in PS 6.

Using Dell, Windows7 with Nvidia GEForce GTX 260 card. Driver 296.10 (current) Rotate tools not smooth on only 1 axis for each X,Y,Z. Its like snapping to point on one axis and smooth on the other. Trying to figure out if its graphics card or Photoshop related? I have tried different card settings and different PS preference settings with no success at fixing the problem.

Well the solution was a simple one for this and probably for many other 3D problems. When in 3D workspace just reset the work space and all is well.

Multiple screens not working correctly in Leopard!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have used my Apple laptop with an external screen for years through multiple versions of MacOS.
Leopard is the first to really frustrate me!
When I disconnect my external screen (which is my primary screen when attached) all the windows migrate to my MacBook Pro, which is exactly what should happen.
HOWEVER.
When I reconnect my external screen, you would expect one of two things to happen, either the windows would go back to their last 'dual screen' positions (ideal but it has never done this before) or move everything that is on the MacBook Pro primary screen to the new external primary screen, which is what every version of MacOS has done before.
Not Leopard, oh no, it appears to randomly leave applications/windows on either screen, it even leaves the waste bin on the secondary screen some times!!!!!!!!
This is VERY frustrating as I now have to tidy up my desktop before I can start work every time I connect/reconnect my screen!
Is there a setting I am missing or is this a genuine bug?????????

Quick selection tool not working correctly

I am trying to extract a portion of a photo...i tried using the selection tool to extract the portion on another picture, and it worked GREAT!
Now i'm trying to use it in another photo and the refine image tool isn't extracting it into a new layer like it did with the other one!
is there something that i may have clicked or turned off that is preventing me from making this extraction??

Hello,
Could you be more specifc as to what you are doing here?
You mention using selections tools, including the Quick Selection tool, but these tools only create selections, they do not extract the material you have selected. A selection is like highlighting text in a word processor, after you have highlighted the text you can copy/paste it or modify it, but simply highlighting it doesn't do anything. Same with selections, once you have created a selection with a tool like Quick Selection you can how copy/paste it to a new image or perform adjustments to just that area.
I'm not sure what you mean by the "refine image tool", we don't have anything by that name. However, we do have a Refine Edge option that helps to make cleaner edges to your selection.

Looping Not Working Correctly In CS4

In Encore CS4 I have a DVD with the first menu that is set to loop forever. After I burn the DVD, the menu loops twice then stops. I tried again to set the loop number to 1024. The results were the same, the menu looping twice and stopping.
I've tried in four different DVD players. In addittion, in preview mode the menu seems to loop correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you.
The T-Y's are as good as it gets.
Burn speed can cause playability issues, and I normally step down to about 1/2 of the max. As no set-top player is certified to play any burned DVD, I want to eliminate as many potential problems, as I can.
Now, I do not recall hearing of any Looping Bug in CS4, but also do not have CS4. Maybe others have experience with this issue.
Sorry that I do not know even where to look next.
Good luck,
Hunt

Move tool not working correctly, will not move individual layers only only groups.

Everytime I try to move a layer within a group it moves the entire group OR if it is not in a group it moves every single layer.
The only way this does not happen is if I use the transform tool to move. This stinks for work-flow.
Im not sure if I accidently made a change somewhere OR this is a bug ? Any fixes or suggestions?

Move tool in what program?

Illustrator CS - Selection Tool not working correctly

Hi all...
A customer of ours has an odd Illustrator CS problem. When she tries to use the Selection Tool to select any item, it auto-selects everything. Even if she uses the selection box by dragging the cursor over anything, it selects all the different items in the image.
Has anyone seen this or fixed it before?
Many thanks!

How about this?...
With the selection tool/black arrow tool, you can select the object, change the color or opacity and move it...but can't un-group it.
With the direct select tool/white arrow tool, when you try to select an individual shape to make slight changes to the path...the anchor points will show up as you mouse over them, but nothing shows when you click on the path.
When drawing a new shape with the pen tool, the anchor points don't show as you draw the shape. No handles appear...but the shape shows up. It's like feeling your way around a dark room on instinct.
...and it's only doing this in one particular file. When another file is opened all the quirks listed above do not happen. Each tool works as it should.

Tools not working in PS CS4

I just installed CS4 Creative Suite, using photoshop and some of the tools don't work. I uninstalled and re-installed, but they still don't work. CS3 was working fine, I'm downloading all the updates to CS4m and to my wacom tablet.... what else should I do? Help

The normal cause of this frequent problem is the mouse being too near the tablet when the pen is in use and vice versa. They interfere with each other's signals when that happens.
My tablet has always been right next to the keyboard for convenience.

Text tool not working in photoshop cs4

I'm on a Macbook Pro running snow leopard, and for some reason, the text tool won't let me change the color of a text to anything outside of greyscale. For example, I select the text, click on the 'change color' box, select red, and press OK. But the box does not indicate red, but gray instead. If it means anything, my MBP also has the 9600 discrete GPU, and have tried switching it to use that as opposed to the 9400, but it didn't help.

Starting with the basic, I assume your document is in RGB or CMYK, and not Grayscale?

Path Tool not working correctly

I am trying to animate png images along a path. I make the path as a mask to the object, and then copy the masks path to the objects position, and when I do the object moves somewhere off the camera view and the path is twice as big. Is anyone else having this issue? Very annoying. I missed a deadline for work because of it.

I talked to a tech support guy forever yesterday, and I am having issues becuase I upgraded to Mavericks. So even if it is at 100% scale it moves the entire path off screen once I apply the mask to the path

Internet Explorer 11 "Enterprise Mode" do not work or do not work correctly!

Dear community,
Since yesterday we test the Feature "Enterprise Mode" for "Internet Explorer 11". However, we have many problems
with this Feature. We have configured it as described by officially instruction by MS, but it does not work
properly. Here is what we have done exactly to test this Feature:
In Registry Key " HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \ Enterprise Mode " we have created the Entry " Site List " and create the string " Enable" . In the
String "Enable" we have added no value .
In Case of String "Site List" , we have specified the path to the XML file , as value of this String.
The XML file was created with the Site List Manager from Microsoft
And now, we regocnized following Problems:
The "Enterprise Mode" ist only "active", if the User(!) check "Enterprise Mode" under "Tools"...!
The site list is seemingly ignored, although in the Registry "currentversion" is pulled correctly, everytime we change
the XML File. So we think "SiteList" is configured well.
On one of our test computer freezes Internet Explorer 11 , if you try to hook the corporate mode
In Summary, it seems to be configured properly but it even do not work or not work correctly.
Our goal would be:
Enterprise Mode + access to the Site List by IE11 should be "on" by Default!
Entrys of sitelist.XML should be filtered and shown in "Enterprise Mode" or/and the right "DocMode", as configured.
The user should have no chance to check on or off the"enterprise mode"
We use "Windows 7" on all our Clients, as test Clients are also running the same operating System...
Please reply
Thank you very much
Greetings!

Hi，
According to your description, seems the end-users can manually turn on\off the enterprise mode, If you don''t want this, you can disable the option.
Computer(User) Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer\Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu option
Disable this option, user will not have "Enterprise Mode" under "Tools", after that, please run gpupdate /force to update the policy, and get "Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list" applied again in the target system.
After that, the enterprise mode website list get applied again, and user don't have an option to disable it.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.

I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

Brush function not working correctly PS Elements 11 for Mac

The brush is not working correctly in that I cannot drag the brush. It allows only spot healing, not dragging the brush. Didn't use to have this problem. Now do. Not sure what has changed. Thank you!

Is this happening after upgrading to Yosemite?
If yes, please see:
Photoshop Elements doesn't respond when you use editing tools in Mac OS X 10.10
