Option+control resize brush on fly CS5

When I option+control resize the brush on the fly my image turns black till I release the mouse, is there a setting to turn off so it won't do that. I want to see the image under the brush size.
I want it to function just like CS4 does.

Huh, you'd think there would be a preference setting for that. Looks like the only way is to disable OpenGL. But then you loose all the other OpenGL features.
btw, I really like the control+option on-the-fly brush size and hardness. But you have to have the brush color preview on for hardness changes to be visible. You can change it to some other color if that helps.

CS4 drag-resize brush option problem

In CS4 the drag-to-resize brush option should display as red (the brush preview default color) but no color shows up. Nor with the drag-to-set-hardness shortcut either. Both shortcuts work. I cannot see the hardness change on screen but a quick check of the brushes indicates that it did indeed work. Just no color indicator for either shortcut.
Vista 32 Ultimate SP1, Dell M1210 laptop with 4 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400, 320 GB drive.
Thanks,
John

John, some info please. Are you using the right mouse button plus Alt key? When changing the hardness, I have to hold the Shft key first and then the Alt key before I click and drag with the right mouse button. I am using Vista Ultimate 64 but that shouldn't make any difference. When some of these little irritants pop up, I usually restart PS and delete the preferences to see if anything changes. Just a suggestion.

Click and Drag feature to resize brush in PS 5

Besides using the bracket keys to resize brushes, you are supposed to be able to hold down the Alt and Control key to drag sideways to make a brush larger or up and down to make it softer. This is on Windows.
For some reason, when I do this command, my cursor changes to moving a selection and leaving a copy.
When I hold down just the Alt key, I get the eye dropper tool and when I hold down just the Control Key, I get the move - four way arrow.
I must have changed something in the keyboard shortcuts, but I don't see the option to change that command back. My Brush Resize shortcuts still work the the two bracket keys.
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay. I wasn't using the right mouse click as directed.

It seems to work fine with just the Alt-Right Mouse drag and no need for the Control key?
I was trying to program my Art Pen to use the commands on the front toggle button.
Thanks to all.

Brush Hardness in CS5

Seems we've lost the command, option, control ability to visually adjust brush hardness on the fly in PSCS5. Instead I get a seemingly useless color picker. Has this VERY USEFUL keyboard/mouse feature been reassigned or is it gone?
Regards,
kingdex

I really like the idea of an on-the-fly Color Picker... But I hope Adobe reevaluates how their new HUD (Heads Up Display) Color Picker works.
The way the current Color Picker works: click the foreground swatch once. Choose a color, hit return. Done.
The HUD Picker: To invoke hit control+option+command+mouse drag. Invoke it where you want it, because the HUD picker is locked where you bring it up. Don’t invoke it too near the edge in Standard Screen Mode or you won’t see it all. Don’t release the mouse button or else it disappears. Don’t try to sample a color outside of the Picker, it won’t let you. Move sample ring around the Saturation/Brightness field (it is locked to your cursor). Now press and hold the Spacebar to set the Sat/Brightness values and move cursor to the Hue slider. Release the spacebar and manipulate the Hue slider (those two steps feel really counter-intuitive). After adjusting the Hue, if you want to make additional Sat/Brightness changes depress spacebar and move back to Sat/Brightness field but make sure you are directly over the set sample ring when you release the spacebar or else it will jump to your cursor. When you have the color you want, release mouse button to leave HUD Picker and set it as your foreground color.
And did I mention no numeric color information?
A great idea which I hope will evolve to be useful in the next Photoshop.

Additional options for Photoshop Brushes pop-up window

I created Brushes to add borders or edges arround images and for every brush 4 different angles: 0, 90, 180, 270 because it is much easier to change from right click pop-up window or using , and . keyboard shortcuts then opening Brush panel or to use Options Bar every single time. What I suggest is to add at least Flip X and Flip Y in right click pop-up window from Brush Tip Shape tab. It will be great to have and angle control and clicable icon (or keyboard shortcut) to set options for current Brush as for previous. Here I mean options like Wet Edges, Color Dynamics and so on. I like randomness of colors whith Color Dynamics and Air brush mode but colors changing too fast, can you add some control over it for example to press some key and slow down display of color randomness. I know what to do to save every brush with preferred options but I plan to share this brushes and those preferences may not be very exciting for other users.

Often, the feedback/feature request sub-forms are disbanded and shut down, when a new version is released. Not sure if that happened here, but if the last post is close to the CS 5.5 releases, then it might explain it. In a case like this, should the sub-form be closed, it would be nice to get a sticky telling everyone that it is now closed.
Just thinking,

Roblem with the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS5

I have a problem with the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS5. When opening a number of files to work on them the Spot Healing Brush works initially fine and without any problems. After a few files the Spot Healing Brush doesn't work any longer, even I didn't changed any settings. So far I solved the problem by closing and reopening CS5 which is not a very efficent way to solve the problem Does anybody have an idea what is causing the problem and more important how I can fix it.

A visual guide just in case
To reset, select your Tool, right, or ctrl-click (Mac) on its' icon in the top Option bar, and you should see the reset menu.

Resize brush in the liquify filter, photoshop cs6 Mac (13.0.4)

Hello,
I just update to photoshop cs6 (Mac 13.0.4). Unfortunately, it's not possible anymore to resize brush in the liquify filter by "CTRL-Option-drag" like I did before in former CS6 version.
Has anyone encountered the same problem ?
Many thanks for your help.

its not ctrl+option+drag
its ctrl+option+shift and launch your ps, delete the
setting file when prompted.
open your photoshop.

Can´t resize brushes with shift/ and like earlier. WHY??

For me this is very importent, so don´t tell me this elegant way to resize brushes is gone. I work in Windows. (This option does not work on Mac.)

I use [ and ] to resize my brush on MAC and Win. CS6 also has onscreen sizing and hardness:
Pattie
On Screen BRUSH RESIZING
Mac
Left/right drag = brush resizing: Opt+Ctrl+click-drag
brush hardness: Opt+Cmd+Ctrl+click-drag
( or opacity if option is unchecked)
Windows
Left/right drag = brush resizing: Alt+right-click-drag
Up/down drag = brush hardness: Alt+Shift+right-click-drag
(or opacity if option is unchecked)
**in Edit Preferences>general you can uncheck vary round brush hardness based on HUD movement if you want to change opacity instead of hardness.

Create an association in the folder options control panel.. pop up dialogue

Installed on a win XP OS:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1)
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal)
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Western European)
I keep getting this pop up dialogue box whenever I click go to Database Homepage.
"This program does not have a file attached with it to perform this action. Create an association in the folder options control panel."
I'm planning to learn Oracle and SQL*Plus so I'm not sure what version I need for basic usage. I only need the SQL command line and probably an application that can create database or tables easily.
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for replying Hans,
I tried to type http://localhost:8080/apex into my browser, the result is:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
The SQL command line is working, but just going to the Database Home Page would result to that pop up dialogue box. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks.

Flex 4 Skinning and Control Resizing

Hello, all
I have recently taken a deep dive into skinning Flex components. All in all, I'm very happy with the improvements that have been made and feel that it is a significant step in the right direction towards encouraging uniqueness among Flex applications in the enterprise.
I have a solid handle on skinning with Flex 4 and how to leverage it but what I don't understand revolves around resizing skinned components. As an example, let's assume I open up Photoshop and navigate to Scripts==>New Flex Skin... and then chose the ComboBox component to skin. Let's then say that I update each of the four states of this control to look differently. Lastly, I then export the skin from Photoshop and import it into Flash Builder 4 and apply my new style to a combo box I've dropped on my canvas. Everything appears well - until I resize the component. This causes the skin the ComboBox is using to visually stretch (as would be expected with the visual representation of a control being a static, embedded image).
My question is as follows:
- Is there any good way to properly handle control resizing with custom skins such that the skins don't appear stretched?
I'm hoping there is something I am missing here. I am aware that, as an alternative to importing a custom skin image, you can use the vector art capabilities of FXG in an MXML file to do the skinning there but I'd really like to avoid having to code a custom skin when I could leverage a tool such as Illustrator or Photoshop to make it look exactly how I want.

Hi,
You could use Nine slice scaling of embedded assets. Search for that in this page

Do let me know if that solves your problem.

Slow Brushes In Photoshop CS5

Hi:
I've just started experimenting with the new capabilities of brushes in Photoshop CS5 and I'm having problems with the brush response being abysmally slow. I'm working on a Mac Pro Quad Core, 2.93 GHz with 8 MB of RAM and a wrireless mouse. Can anybody tell me what might be contributing to this slowness??
Herman R.

I've installed the 12 02 update and the latest drivers for the
FX3400 graphics card. Now when CS5 opens it tells me its disabling theGPU enhancements. I have the GL turned off.
It also likes to crash when I run Imagenomics plug ins.
So CS3 did not use GL? Whatever. So that means that its slow and crashes now. I can see in other threads here and elsewhere the retarded brush action is common. They released CS5 too soon. Its not even half-baked. Also I want the images to open on the right monitor but with CS5 I have to drag each image over to work on it.
I'm back to using CS3 and they said my refund will be credited to my card the first week of January. I'll have to monitor to see if they get their application working before I return as I have wasted so much time with this I think they should pay me for helping with their product development.

Command-Option-Control-Eject = Restart, not Shutdown

In the last few days, I think since upgrading to 10.6.8, the keyboard combination Command-Option-Control-Eject will no longer Shutdown my computer, but Restarts it instead. Why has this happened?

There is no shortcut for Sleep except to push the power button which will bring up the Sleep, Restart, Shutdown dialog. Here's a link to the standard shortcuts: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459.
There are numerous utilities like ASM or iKeys (www.versiontracker.com) that will enable you to configure your own shortcuts. Unsanity's Magic Menu haxie will let you add shortcuts to menuitems as will their Fruit Menu (both add versiontracker.com.)

Brush Shape Dynamics CS5

Is there a way to turn of shape dynamics in the brush dialog in CS5? I used to be able to uncheck if in previous version of CS, and it would stay unchecked. Now it will not stay unchecked.

If the icon (circled in red below) is enabled, this may be
the cause.
Try clicking the icon to disable and see if that helps.
