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.

My LR 5.4 Crop Tool isnt Working correctly?
I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" fully loaded with the 27" Monitor, I am running Mac 10.9.2 Mavericks and just updated to LR 5.4. It is the second time I have used LR on it since I bought it. When I went to crop a photo from 4X6 to 8X10, it is not changing the photo in the view. It looks like the thumbnails show it changed, but I would like to see it in the full view. I have tried rebooting it, and still get the same results, can anyone help me out? I have never had this problem in 4 years of use.
Have you restarted Lightroom and your PC?

I'm having the same problem on a Windows 7 PC after installing LR 5.4.
When you crop a photo in the develop module and click close, the crop is not reflected in the work area. Likewise, no changes that I make: white balance, exposure, etc. are being reflected in the work area.
If I make a bunch of changes and then create a virtual copy, all of those changes including the crop are reflected in the virtual copy, but nothing changes on the photo as I am working.
Not an acceptable way to work! -
Smudge tool is not blending correctly.
Hi!
I have recently started to use Photoshop CS5 and have realized my smudge tool is not smudging like it should be,
Here is an example:
What I have learned is if I put a solid color under the art or line I am smudging, it returns as it should be, like so:
I really want to smudge lines without having to put a color under it.
I do use a tablet but I am having the same problems when I use a mouse. I also use a PC, not a Mac.
Please help! I've been trying to get rid of this problem for ages.I can't reproduce what you're seeing with Photoshop CS5 (nor Photoshop CC). Whether or not a black dot is on a layer that's transparent or colored to me the result comes out the same (though I had forgotten how incredibly slow Photoshop CS5 was to Smudge).
What version of Photoshop CS5 do you have (in other words, do you have the latest update, 12.0.4)? Do Help - System Info inside Photoshop to find out. I kind of remember problems with Smudge that were tidied up in an update, but I don't remember the specific version. In any case, I tested here with 12.0.4.

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. -
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.

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... -
PS6 blur and smudge tools malfunctioning
I've had this problem for some time and have yet to find a solution.
Several months ago my blur and smudge tools in Photoshop 6 suddenly began malfunctioning. Any pixel blurred with one of these tools is turned black if the resulting pixel is at less than 100% opacity. It only effects the blur and smudge tools, painting with a 50% opacity brush for example does not result in black pixels. I'm a veteran Photoshop user of many years and am very familiar with all tool options, this is something that literally happened overnight, and permanently. Here's an example image if you need help visualizing the problem:
I've tried wiping PS6 from my PC and freshly installing it in hopes of resolving the issue, but it doesn't appear in my Add/Remove Programs list in control panel and there is no uninstall.exe in the Photoshop folder so the only thing I can do is delete the Photoshop program folder. This of course fails to remove whatever hidden registry files are on my computer though, as evidenced by all my preferences still being intact when I reinstall. I have individually reset the preferences for the blur and smudge tools, as well as deleted the whole Photoshop preferences file by holding Shift+Ctrl+Alt on startup, neither of which has removed the problem. This seems to be a corrupted tool function, not a preference issue.
I've also installed PS6 on an old computer to make sure it isn't a problem with a source file on the CD, and sure enough the blur and smudge tools function correctly.
If anyone else has dealt with this or a similar issue, I'd much appreciate any solution or wisdom you can impart from the experience. Thanks!Yeah it's bizarre, I've been a PS user for about twelve years and I've never seen this happen before either. I'm convinced something is corrupted in one of my PS program files since I've tried it on a second computer with no problems. I'm sure reformatting would fix it, but...ugh.
Anyway, thanks for trying!
Here's another sample for anyone else following this thread. I think it better illustrates the problem. This is a picture I did in the past using the blur and smudge tools for shading. The girl's nose is on a separate layer. I used the blur tool to soften the side of her nose and the smudge tool to pull at the edges of the layer to blend it with the rest of her skin, which worked correctly as seen in the first panel. The next two panels show what happens when I try those same techniques now with the same tools. -
I'm not sure what is going on, but the brush for the Smudge Tool is apparently gone and it leaves these choppy marks instead of its smooth blending, no matter WHAT I do to the brush. It also has this really annoying habit now of starting off with a dark spot that does get blended out, but it never did that before and the setting is on normal.
Help in resetting the brush? What do I do to fix that?
Thanks!!!In the top tool bar far left side is an icon that looks like the tool being used. Right click on it to choose to reset the menu. An alternative is click on that same icon then in that dialog box is a cog wheel icon, click it will bring up a larger menu, you can choose reset tool there as well.

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.

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?

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. -
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 updateHere'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

Clone Stamp Tool and smudge tool issue
iMac 21.5"; new on 12/14/2011; OS Version 10.7.3; 2.7GHz Intel Core i5; AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB.
Two and Three Layer, all layers are copies of background layer, plus two adjustment layers, 8 Bit file:
Clone Stamping directly on image layer with Background layer directly below and with copy of Background layer directly below.
Intuos 4 tablet and pen.
Clone Stamp tool Setup:
Layer Adjustment parameter set to either This Layer and Below or All Layers.
All other parameters at default.
Using simple soft brush.
=====================================
The bug: Clone Stamp too will only affect the layer selected to do the actual cloning.
Tried it in every configuation possible without adjust the tool defaults, and no layers below will get the cloning corrections or stamping.Welcome back gang.
Made a couple new discoveries while double checking.
Again, the same four layer setup: Background-Background copy-HSB Adj layer-Levels Adj layer.
The problem replicates with the Adj layers clipped or not.
The key is any tweak in the Adj layers will cause the issue.
Any Adj layer tweak seems to get exaggerated when smudging on a layer.
For example, increasing the gamma or center slider in the Levels box will cause all bright pixels to go white and darker pixels to go black.
I do not know the threshold luminance pixel value but I would guess it is at 128/128.
Modest tweaks to the Adj layer, for example raising the gamma slider to 1.20 will cause the smudge to posterize or turn white.
Tweaking the HSB Saturation slider to +12 will cause color posterization.
Counter to what I had stated upstream, any setting of the Smudge tool will cause this to happen.
Also, as said upstream, the performance goes down such that the spinning balls appear frequently.
In other words, it does not appear to be a 1-to-1 relationship of tweaks made in the Adj layer to the effect of the Smudge tool.
My guess is that the Sample All Layers option is multiplying the color and luminance values fo the layers together.
Plus, it was probably designed to do so but I do not think it was to be so pronounced.
Still amazes me that the situation never occurred or did I notice it until now, and the issue exists in CS5 too.
When did PS add the Sample All Layers option to the Smudge tool?
Anybody else?

Extreme lag on mixer and smudge tools with "all layers" checked
Running Photoshop CC 64, Win7 x64 on an i7-3820 based machine with 32GB of ram, 256GB SSD, several 2TB drives and a GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB 16X video card.
Running the latest non-beta WHQL drivers for the video card,
i have photoshop set to:
use graphics acceleration,
drawing mode advanced,
opencl.
When I'm using the mixer brush and with the brush set to sample all layers, depending on brush size, I experience a large lag in rendering. When doing this, my CPU usage is around 10% and disk usage is also low so I'm assuming the graphics card is the bottleneck here.
Images are from a 21MP canon 5dMK II, 8 bit files. I can replicate the problem with a single background layer and mixing/smudging on a 2nd transparent layer set to use all layers.
Any thoughts?sheetsofsound wrote:

I think is has more to do with the process then compute power. Its not something that lens itself to parallel processing that can use multiple processors and GPUs. Brush size does increase the amount of data the need to be sampled and mixed in a repetitive sequential process. You will find the same thing happens with other tools that don't use your Video GPU like the smudge tool. Its lag may even be greater then large mixer brush tool. Each recursion take some time. You make quick strokes with large tips brushes with these types of tools your going to have lag. It not a simple process of laying down a single color over a path. In the real world its a physical process that happens in real time. It take time to simulate that physical process digitally. Burn, Dodge, Blur and Sharpen brush tools I would think will also lag.
