My compound paths have quit working in photoshop CS6

I know I've clicked some icon somewhere to cause this to happen, but I can't seem to figure it out...please help!

Hi sunny
Can you be more specific?  Are you unable to subtract one path from another, for instance?  How are your Options bar settings?  Do you have path operations set to subtract?  Do you have the same workpath selected in the paths panel?  I like to click off the workpath, and back on it to start the next subpath, after setting path operations appropriately.

    How do I change a default from feathered edge to sharp edge when I select a path?
    I'm working in Photoshop CS6 on a Mac and am having trouble when I select a Path it automatically feathers the selection border. I can't seem to find any place to adjust a feather setting. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm using paths to silhouette an image on a photograph to use in another document and I need a hard edge on it, not a feathered one.

    In the Paths panel, click the flyout menu (in the top right of the panel) and choose Make Selection (this option will only be available if you have a path selected). Reduce the Feather Radius to 0 (zero) and click OK. This setting will be the default even when clicking the Load Path as Selection button.

  • My hue/saturation filter quits working in Photoshop CS3

    I keep having this issue where my hue/saturation filter just quits working.  I use that filter religiously so it has to be fixed each time it occurs.  I've only had the Adobe CS3 for 3 months and I've had to resolve this 3 times now.  Each time this has happend I've had to uninstall the entire CS3 design package and do a complete reinstall which takes almost 4 hours because my download uses the Adobe server.  My product download was purchased online so I do not have a disk but rather files that I downloaded from Adobe with product serial numbers.
    I've used Adobe for years, as far back as Adobe 5, and never had such a problem!  I've checked in my preferences and have ample RAM available for the settings.  I use Dell inspirion and have 2 GB of RAM total on my system.
    Can someone please advise why this would keep happening.
    Thank you very much.

    Resetting your preferences is much faster than uninstalling/reinstalling, so if you haven't tried it, that would be what to do next, although it would be nice to figure out what the issue is.
    To reset your preferences hold the Ctrl-Alt-Shift keys down (windows) or Ctrl-Option-Shift keys down (mac) as you start up Photoshop.  You should get a message confirming whether you want to delete the preferences file.  If resetting preferences fixes things, then you should try to remember what you've been doing, just prior to having the problem.
    Once Hue/Sat sliders seem to be disabled, are they still way for all images that you open (a JPG for example), or are they just messed up for one image, but you need to work on that image so you have to fix things before doing anything else?  Hue/Sat is not a valid operation for certain modes, like Grayscale, although the menu item is disabled in this case.

    Subject: Re: My hue/saturation filter quits working in Photoshop CS3
    The hue/saturation filter window does open and it is not grayed out.  However, it does not allow me to do any thing to it.  I try to slide the saturation to the left or right and it does not move.  The same goes for the "Lightness" and "Hue".  I don't understand why it will work for a month or so and then just quit.  I end up rebooting my system to try and resolve but unfortunately once this occurs it seems to be stuck no matter what I do, that is until I unstall the entire program and reinstall...
    So if I need to change something in my preferences, what do you suggest that would be?  I appreciate your help, thank you.

  • My keyboard shortcuts have quit working - HELP!

    All,
    Can anyone tell me WHY my keyboard shortcuts—new window, close window—have quit working.
    It's a pain in the tuckus to have to open a window with a menu.
    It happened suddenly and would appreciate a fix if anyone has the same problem.
    Thanks!

    I change my Spotlight shortcut to Ctrl + Space and have no problems. I've never had a problem with use the Space Bar to get the Hand tool.
    Try restoring your preferences first before you take the trouble to reinstall. Here's how:

  • All of the the Windows Sidebar Apps have quit working

    With the latest update today, all of my Sidebar gagdets have quit working. When I go to reinstall, I am asked what Firefox should do with them. Why? My gadgets are a windows thing.

    I really have no idea what you are doing or what your signal routing looks like, nor do I know how experienced you are with audio software and signal routings in general. What I now think you mean is that you can't monitor your input properly, you cannot hear the signal of the mic? Is that right? Or how did you arrive to the conclusion that none of your plugins work on audio tracks? Have you actually put an audio file on your audio track?
    If you want to hear your input +processed through Logics' plugins,+ you need to enable Software Monitoring - just add its button (with a 'muted speaker' icon) to the transport by rightclicking the transport and ticking *Software Monitoring* on the list. Button grey=off, button green with dot in it=on.
    Of course the channel strip/track you receive the input on should also have an output selected, or you will never hear anything.

  • Speakers have quit working no sound and it says they are working fine

    Speakers have quit working no sound and it says they are working fine

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55036.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • Most of my google processes have quit working (Gmail, Maps, YouTube).

    Most of my google processes have quit working (Gmail, Maps, YouTube). Happened right after I changed my Tumblr password through the app on my phone. Have tried unsync and resync of Google account - no luck. Updated all apps - no luck. Any ideas besides a hard reset? Droid Maxx

    Try closing all apps (double press home button, then press and hold one of the apps, press the - button in the corner and keep pressing the - button on all apps till all closed).  Then try another reset and see if that corrects your problem.  May be something open preventing it from pulling up the data that it needs.

  • I have a license for Photoshop CS6 which was installed on a PC that is now beyond repair. How can I install the software on my iMac? I still have the serial number that is registered to my Adobe Id?

    I have a license for Photoshop CS6 which was installed on a PC that is now beyond repair. How can I install the software on my iMac? I still have the serial number that is registered to me Adobe Id.

    Serial numnbers are platform specific so you will not be able to use it for the Mac if it was initially designated for a PC.  YOu will need to perform a platform swap.  See the following for information:

  • Compound paths won't work properly

    Hi everyone,
    I am relatively new to Illustrator.  I am using CS6.
    I am trying to punch holes in a circle using compound paths, as you can see here :
    The tadpole shape and the human shape are the holes I need created in the large circle behind them.  Both the tadpole and the human are at the front and all objects are on the same layer.  When I select everything and choose CRTL+8, only the tadpole gets cut into the circle.  the other shape just stays white.
    Can anyone shed some light on what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    Hi Jacob,
    The minus front in pathfinder worked perfectly!  Thankyou.  The human shape changes / changed fill colour with no problems.
    Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.
