My brushes look pixelated. What's going on?
I started Ps today and when I used the default soft round brush, it looked like this.
The other brushes also look similar, like pixelated.
Add the Dissolve blend mode to your ideas database as great for a chalk on blackboard effect.

CS 5 healing brush looking pixelated
Hello,
I've noticed in the last few months that whenver I use the healing brush for cleaning up skin tones, areas around the eyes that the brush has been creating pixelated splotches across the area instead of blending in with the skin the tones. I've tried the hard & soft brushes as well changing the degree of hardness (between 0-25%) and it still shows
pixelated. Also the brush icon would disappear while I'm retouching.
Either I have to close the brush palette and reopen it, or worse case close photoshop, reopen it so the brush icon would reappear.
I don't know if it's because it's PS 5 or the software is showing it's age.
I have a MacBook Pro early 2011 running 8GB memory. I don't think it's a Apple memory issue.
If anyone else has had a similar issue or may know the cause of this I greatly appreciate some feedback.
Here's a screenshot showing the healing brush splotches. Normally it blends in, but it hasn't. Also the cloning tool has been doing similar. Not smooth cloning..
thank you in advance..Would you believe me when I tell you that I don't use layers?
I mean I have in the past if it's something that is going to print or for a client.
Currently, the images I'm working on is for my website. I have the final & original files
but when it comes to web images they (final image) ends up being smaller files.
Your suggestion of just changing the brush to harder worked.
I reset the brush presets and hopefully that will clear up the brush's disappearing trick. -
The screen resolution in 1920x1200 dropped on my MacBook Pro 17". Seems like I have not the same pixels. There are also vertical, thin lines on the screen. Makes the screen look milky. Anybody knows what's going on and how to fix it?
Take it to an Apple Store or other service provider for testing.

I'm having trouble with my clone tool. When I am cloning it appears OK (the image within the brush circles is the correct colours) however once the cloning is done, it processes leaving me with a darkened blur. Any help with what's going on would be appreciated.

When I zoom In, My photos look pixelated?
I have just recently been having this problem, never have before...
So basically when I zoom in past 100% it goes way more pixelated than it should be.
I was looking into " Display performance ", I think that may be the problem but I can't find the way to change it.
Sorry if this is vague...
Thanks in advance.
(Photoshop CC on windows)Only the 100% view is valid.
At lower magnification you are discarding pixels; at higher magnification you are inventing, making up pixels that aren't there.
A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,

Photoshop CS2 brushes looking scratchy?
I have had this problem in CS2 and Elements 8. Out of nowhere, my brushes start looking scratchy. This isn't like the common "pixelated brush" error, where it switches between brush and pencil, this is something different. I'm extraordinarily frustrated with this. Thanks for your help.
Here's a picture of how the brushes look (view the full image and look around the edges of the strokes):Usual first question is are you using the Pencil tool and not the brush, but you can't have soft pencil strokes, so I don't think that is it. Nor does it look like spacing, because that would produce bumpy strokes. In fact it looks like you have a small Chalk brush tip, but with size and angle jitter set.
Try resetting brushes, (I'm guessing that was the first thing you tried). Then try resetting Preferences.
If still having problems, have a good look at the Brush Presets panel. Pay particular attention to the Shape Dynamics, and Scattering options.
Another thought, what is is the brush blend mode set to? Dissolve might give those results. I used the Dissolve mode to produce this Photoshop visual gag some years ago: -
CANNOT properly update from 7.0 to 7.01. WHAT is going on?
Hello!
I notice that FIREFOX has been releasing browser updates quite frequently as of late. I have been updating my browser as they come along ... until 7.01 came out. It not only does NOT fully install on my IMac (iMac 10,1 - 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor - less than 1 year old) ... but is being incredibly vexing:
I did the usual update process for 7.01 when presented with the SOFTWARE UPDATE WINDOW (as I recall; less than 1 WEEK after I rcvd an UPDATE for 7.0, which installed normally enough) - but the 7.01 dropped a Firefox icon on my desktop, which I put in my APPLICATIONS FOLDER. This did not MOVE the icon. Inexplicably it only COPIED it to the folder - leaving a FIREFOX icon still on my desktop. I then put THAT ONE in a special FIREFOX folder that I keep for general Firefox info, etc. SAME RESULT ... only COPIED icon to that folder. ALSO a Firefox "volume" appeared on my desktop. Normally these disappear upon exiting my system and coming back. in THIS CASE, both the Firefox ICON - AND the VOLUME icon remain - for weeks now. I can't REMOVE them without taking them to the trash, which I am loathe to do, fearing I would LOSE FIREFOX COMPLETELY from my system.
I find that FIREFOX 7.o is what my system is still running - it does not seem to recognize the 7.01 that arrived, in any way.
Meanwhile, I continue to get the SOFTWARE UPDATE (for 7.01) window appearing when I open my (7.0) browser). I tried AGAIN to install from that - and only got MORE icons growing on my desktop.
By the way, I have a YAHOO/ATT eMail - AND a YAHOO Homepage. YAHOO often causes interfering and/or site-specific browser problems. THIS may be a factor. I have NO idea.
MY GUESS is that something(?) did not complete - or get recognized in the INSTALL PROCESS (with the install window/process/move to app. folder sequence.
WHAT I NEED is:
1) to be able to successfully, completely UPDATE to 7.01 -and
2) have these fool icons quit reappearing (and multiplying upon dragging them to folders).
I assume that once 7.01 IS fully installed, that all of this nonsense will stop; I will not see "NEW UPDATE TO 7.01" windows appear / I will NOT have "sticky" icons crowding my desktop / my SYSTEM WILL then SHOW "FIREFOX 7.01" as my current browser.
WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT DO I DO FROM HERE?
I am at a complete loss (baffled, frustrated, kicked to the curb).
I am not familiar with sophisticated programmer / developer terms/shorthand. PLEASE, anybody answering this (thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!) write clearly and simply, so I am not stumped by being told to do something that I cannot figure out the meaning of ... I see that kind of answer in some other posts I viewed, trying to find what to do, though none of those posts were exactly my scenario.
All I want to do is get 7.01 to fully install, as/per the usual installation package process that appears when an UPDATE is downloaded.
THANKS!!
p.s. assuming that I will get an eMail when I get a response.
I will NOT be able to FIND this - or whatever the correct page is- to hunt daily for responses.
My eMail is:
[email protected]Re:
"Do you have a user.js file in your profile, and did you change the user-agent that gets displayed by Firefox? The setting looks like:
general.useragent.override "
I have no idea if I have a 'users.js file' anywhere; let alone in my 'profile' ...WHAT profile? where?? why? I have never needed to know anything about a users.js file to download or update a browser of any kind.
Nonetheless, IF a 'users.js file' is something that exists, behind the scenes, appearing something like "general.useragent.override" I would have no idea how to locate - or check whether or not I have one. You say it would be in my "profile". A "Firefox" profile? A MAC system profile? A hard disk profile? A Utilities profile? I have no idea what / where this may be.
I will try the suggestion by cor-el: Download a 7.01 - SAVE the dmg (slippery suckers, hard to find again, once arrived). Then I will isolate that in a special folder and remove my current FIREFOX from my computer; and open/install the 7.01 clean.
The only problem is I don't know exactly WHAT is mucking things up for the 7.01 to fully install. THEREFOR it seems I will have to search out and destroy all the parts of my CURRENT browser (icons/volumes/files/ et al) ...hoping that I DO remove the nasty part - and that I DO NOT remove something I need to either (A): keep my extremely deep bookmark files and/or (B): allow 7.01 on my system (as it IS an UPDATE - if I have NO "7.0" - can a "7.0.1" load / install without something already in the 7's to work from?)
I was hoping to avoid this 'search and destroy' raid on my Firefox, for the above reasons; but since I have NO idea what the "user.js file" or its attendant "profile" are, I see no alternative. Unless somebody has a better idea before Monday; I'll go in there and tear it out - after bringing in the dmg of 7.01 first. It'll be a crapshoot; maybe I'll luck out. I HOPE so, 'cause I really hate Safari. Wheeeeeeeeee! -

After removing adware, and do a safe boot of Safari and remove extensions, then reset cache history etc. You need to do a boot into Recovery Mode and run Disk Repair from there. Also boot the system in Safe Mode.
On startup it sounds like you have a problem with the directory which would also account for long startups and checking the directory. Along with or instead of DU Repair Disk you can use Single User Mode and fsck -fy to try to fix the directory but in some cases that may not be enough.
Backups from before you got this adware and problems helps and should always be ready and able to restore a system from known good backups or system restore image.
4GB of RAM may have been fine originally but "Early 2011" is now 5 years and 4 OS version changes. You can upgrade the memory and while at it consider a nice SSD internal drive which will help as well. Take a look and see what prices and options there are from http://www.macsales.com for your 2011 MacBook Pro.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH VERIZON THAT THEY CAN'T DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO DO? HELP PLEASE!!!!
Over the last month and a half I have called and spoke to 3 or 4 different Verizon customer service agents about a problem with my account & every time I am told that the problem will be fixed only to have nothing happen. What is going on here?
Around the beginning of March I made the mistake of edging up & my account has been screwed up ever since. I was using the iphone 5 & had only $130 left before the iphone 5 was completely paid for (I had been making payments on it every month through the edge program) and my contract was up in April. I stupidly decided to edge up & Verizon sent me the iphone 6+ & told me I was to send them my iphone 5. I decided that I would rather keep the iphone 5 so I could pay the remaining $130 left on the edge agreement & I would own the iphone 5 outright. I returned the iphone 6+ (yes it was within the 14 day window that Verizon gives you to return a new device) to a Verizon store and paid the $35 restock fee. I never activated the iphone 6+.
Somehow or other Verizon started me on a whole new edge agreement as if I had kept the iphone 6+. Verizon says that I have $600 some dollars left to pay on my edge agreement. I've already made almost $600 total edge payments over the last year and I had $130 left to pay. Why is Verizon trying to charge me again for a phone I've already paid for??? My last monthly payment due was $185, it's usually around $110 & the extra charges were because of the "new edge device" agreement I was put on.
I understand mistakes happen but this is ridiculous. I've called and spoke to at least 3 different Verizon customer service agents and they've all told me they would correct my account and I would see the correction on my verizon in a week or 10 days or something like that so I wait and nothing happens. I was told the extra $75 I paid last month would be credited & put towards my account, I was told by one of Verizons people I spoke with that I would be getting some form I needed to sign in the mail but it never came. I am so tired of wasting so much time on a mistake Verizon made but seems unwilling to fix. Why is it so difficult to remedy my account?We want to see this resolved once and for all, cem421! I have sent you a Direct Message so that we can work to end this frustration for you. I will look forward to working with you further!

Delivery date changed 4 times-called to ask what is going on and then best buy cancelled order
I ordered a 55 inch aquos with free ROKU stick for $599.00 on Sept. 22 (removed per forum guidlelines) and got a confirmed delivery of Sept. 26. Unfortunately, I received a call in the morning of the Sept. 26 and was told that delivery was pushed to Tues, Sept. 30.
On Monday, Sept. 29, I received an automated call informing me that the Tv will be delivered on Sept. 30 between 3:30 and 5:30. and I also received an email with the same information. Thirty minutes later I received another email stating that the delivery is again being pushed to Oct. 13. so I called customer service. I was told he can change the delivery date to Oct. 3 but call in the morning to confirm availability with warehouse.I called customer service on Sept. 30 to confirm availability and was assured that the Tv will be delivered on Oct. 3.
On Thursday Oct. 2nd, I received another email stating the order will not be delivered until Oct. 16. I remained calm and called customer service and after a very long hold time I was able to speak with a representative and again after a long hold to check what is going on, she informed me that the order is now cancelled since the item is discontinued. I told the representative that I already lost 3 days of work due to the delivery dates changing and since the TV has to be accepted by somebody 18 years or older I needed to be home. I asked if it is unreasonable to ask for the same exact TV but 1 size bigger since the 60 inch is available and in stock (but without the ROKU stick) but unfortunately I was told it is not possible. I asked to speak with a supervisor but they are all busy but she asked for my phone number so they can call me back in 20 min.. I waited but did not get a back from the supervisor the same day.
I called again today, Friday, Oct. 3 and I was assisted by a nice lady who after explaining my situation was sincere with her apology. She told me that she will call me back so she can speak with a supervisor about my situation. I asked her too if it is unreasonable to ask for the same exact TV but next size bigger since the one I was sold is no longer available and I lost 3 days of work due to the 3 changes in delivery dates. She affirmed that it is fair but have no authority to make decissions but will relay the history of the order to her superior so they can make a proper resolution.
After about 15 minutes I got a call back and was told that since the bigger TV is priced at 799.00 they will give me a 50.00 dsicount for the trouble. I declined the offer since I feel that $50.00 dollars for getting the run around and missing 3 days of work is not proper compensation and is an insult to any customer. I thanked her for trying and informed her that I am aware that it is not her fault and it is management who made this decission.
I sincerely feel that I should have been given the next size TV for the same price of my original purchase and I should have been given a ROKU stick (which I did not ask for) for my unpleasant experience.
We are $150.00 apart from getting a resolution but management feels like it is the right thing to do for cases like these. Being a best buy customer for many years, spending many thousand of dollars, I am puzzled why best buy would treat any customer the way they treated me. Please explain the policy so I can have a better understanding. The $150.00 difference can easily be recopued from my next purchase. In my opinion, it is not a very smart business practice to lose a customer this way. Again, please explain the policy to me so I can understand better.Hello romcarlos1,
While unforeseen complications can cause unexpected delays, it seems something went wrong at every turn. Misinformation and multiple missed appointments would frustrate me too, and I can only imagine this frustration turned into aggravation with the poor service you describe. After pulling up your account, I noticed that has been two weeks since your TV purchase, and I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. I appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to explain what should have happened.
When your delivery day arrives, you should receive a call from us to narrow down the time frame to a 4-hour window. This is done because our delivery agent’s schedule isn’t fully determined until the day of service as our customer’s needs may change prior to the delivery date. These routes are then best optimized to fit the appointments scheduled for the day. The particular television you wished to purchase is quite popular, however, and due to high demand, it’s currently on backorder in some areas of the country. This may explain why your delivery date was continuously pushed back unexpectedly, and why we needed to reschedule multiple times.
While in backordered status, however, an online order may be cancelled if you don’t wish to wait any longer and a different model may be purchase. Upon review of your order, I noticed that it was canceled upon your request. If you have since changed your mind and wish to wait for one to arrive, you may place a new order here.
It sounds like you wish to purchase a new TV entirely though, so I understand if you don’t wish to attempt a new order. While I cannot guarantee you a different outcome than the resolution already offered, I’d be glad to look into your case to see what other options may be available. Please know I have sent you a private message to collect further information from you. You may view this by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

A few minutes ago I got a Creative Cloud update notification. I ran the update and Creative Cloud disappeared from my desktop. What happened? I still have Photoshop CC and Bridge CC. But will I still get CC updates? Also I no longer seem to have a Creative Cloud subscription--just something that looks like a monthly fee for keeping Photoshop for customers with Photoshop CS3+. What is going on?
I just had an online Chat with Adobe Support, and we uninstalled CC Desktop and reinstalled it. That fixed the problem. I have no idea what CAUSED the problem though.

I have three ipods, none of which are being recognized by my itunes. I have reset each ipod, with no results. I wonder if the problem isn't with the USB ports. The mouse works fine in each port; nothing happens when I plug in the ipods. I have tried two different USB cables. I have no other USB devices with which to test. I have made sure I have the most recent updates and rebooted the computer. Any idea what is going on?

Thanks for the reply.
It wouldn't open unless I clicked "upgrade." The other option was "cancel." The Genius at the Apple Store said I had no choice. The new stuff looks idfferent but maybe it's just taking a while to go through all my photos. I can't tell what is going on exactly, but I'm nervous to see the last slideshow there is 2010.
