Paint brush and eraser blink in vista

In windows vista when I try to use paint brush or erasor
tool, it blinks and have no control and takes ages to paint. It is
brand new pc with intel core2 Duo 2.4 ghz with 4 gb of ddr2 memory.
Has anyone else experienced the same?

That god for that!! I’ve had this problem for weeks and
it’s been driving me insane, it actually made me laugh. I
switched to Windows Basic and the appearance is negligible and
fireworks now works like a treat. I find it amusing that Microsoft
think its worth while using a huge chunk of system resources just
so you get a transparency effect on your windows and set the
feature as default. Genius!
So cheers for the tip!

Brush and eraser cursors turn to arrow on Wacom tablet

Hello, anyone and everyone,
drawing with PHotoshop CS5 on the Wacom 22HD, my brush and erasor cursors will suddenly switch to the ordinary 'arrow' or 'pointer' cursor the instant the stylus touches the surface of the tablet. Any ideas as to what's going on???
thanx!

..."I've allowed all Utilities, Applications, etc and no matter what, as soon as I turn on the "only allowed selected programs" option, it won't work."...
I'm not sure, but it is possible that allowing / disallowing based on the pre-defined categories may not work because the software that Wacom uses on my system is in an atypical location, and has an atypical structure - it actually has one application contained inside another. It may be necessary to approve the apps explicitly.
Perhaps try either:
i) Opening "/Library" > "Application Support" > "Tablet" and explicitly dragging any apps present there into the "Parental Controls" pref pane in the panel where the programmes are listed. On my system, the app is called "PenTabletDriver.app"...
or
ii) Logging in to the managed account (with application restrictions in place), and trying to launch the "PenTabletDriver.app" programme. If this generates the "application is not allowed" message, it should be possible to "always allow" with "admin" authentication to white-list it at that stage...

Using the Blob Brush and Eraser Tools | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

One fun way of creating shapes is to use the Blob Brush tool in combination with the Eraser tool. In this video we'll use these tools to create a stylized teddy bear.

Thanks, I was skeptical at first, but in the end learned a thing or two.

Can I create a simple Drawing App with Crayon, Marker, Paint Bucket and Eraser in Edge?

I need to create an 'app' that allows user to 'color'/'paint' in simple colorbook pages with a specific color palette or if I can have an expanded color palette great..
any thots
I have found the code to do it, but I am not a coder that is why I am investigating Edge...
Many thanks

Hi, mark-
It's going to be hard to do without code in Animate. Yoshoika Ume-san did a little project in an earlier version of Animate that did it, but it was heavily code centric.
Thanks,

Paint brush tool doesn't work with my Wacom tablet

My new pen tablet works well except when I try to use the paint brush tool. I was using NIK Color effects pro plug in and when I select the paint brush mode it didn't work. So I just tied the paint brush tool without going thru NIK and it still didn't work with the pen tablet. There must be something I haven't set correctly but can't figure it out.
Other tools work just fine such as the patch tool, etc. Any ideas?

try reseting the paint brush and download the newest driver from Wacom

When I use the brush or eraser, a Ø symbol pops up next to my cursor and prevents me from drawing a stroke. Does anyone know a solution to this issue?

Whenever I use the brush or eraser tool, during every other stroke, I get a Ø (circle with a line through it) sign next to the brush shape/cursor and can't draw. Please help, it's extremely frustrating and disrupting my workflow! I am drawing every animation frame so you can imagine, every other stroke is quite often.
There are locked layers below my active drawing layer, which makes me wonder if Flash is just trying to tell me I can't draw on those layers, but I know that Plus I need those layers there to guide my active layer's drawing. I've never run into this issue before with layers being locked and such. What am I missing?
Any insight is appreciated.
Thank you!

Hmm interesting theory...I do press undo a lot, but only because I'm trying to get a good-looking brushstroke down, usually I don't even actively lock a layer as a step during my session because they've already been locked previously and I don't need to lock/unlock them often. The thing that is frustrating is that I will try to make a stroke, and can't because the symbol pops up...then I'll make the exact same intended stroke again and then it will work fine. It's pretty haphazard but basically every other stroke or every few strokes, it'll pop up.
I think I'm beginning to almost accept this rhythm in my workflow
I'm using CS6, and I noticed that I don't have this problem when I bring the file to work on at my job (CS5) or at school (CC).
Edit: I tried to test your theory by drawing as much as I could without pressing undo...I was pleasantly surprised to not run into any issues with the paintbrush, but sure enough, as soon as I switched from the paint brush to the eraser, and tried to erase something I just drew, the eraser popped up with the "prohibited" symbol.

Photoshope Elements when selecting an action, the paint brush tool doesn't work and system keeps freezing, then catching up every 30-45 seconds

I have been having this problem with elements ever since the last OS upgrade, but it wasn't all the time and it wasn't very bad. Now, I have upgraded my macbook again, and I cannot even edit a photo!! I open the photo, choose an action, say "smooth skin", then choose the paint brush, I start to "paint" over their face and it won't paint a line, I have to keep clicking it, click - it paints, move brush, click again - it paints. Plus, every time I choose a tool or an action, it freezes for about 10 seconds, then catches up to what I am doing, 30 seconds later, it freezes again. HELP!! I have 8 sessions to finish editing by this weekend!! I just want to cry!!

Try deleting the prefs and the saved application state:

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

Wake up at the login screen of lion. It is almost like the whole screen is painted grey and moving my mouse side to side is like an erase fuction that reveals the login area one little square at a time

wake up at the login screen of lion. It is almost like the whole screen is painted grey and moving my mouse side to side is like an erase fuction that reveals the login area one little square at a time. Similar to other posts.

I was so frustrated I call the Apple Tech Support and they walked me through. It has been doing great. The screen still turns black but now, when I touch the mouse or touch pad, I get the password prompt. The Apple Store did not help but talking the the Apple Tech has helped a lot. Thank you.

I do not have the "info button" as an option pages at I downloaded onto my iPad2. All I have is the paint brush, plus sign in the box, and a wrench.

I watched a video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2hC089Iri0 and noticed that I do not have the info button, nor the insert button or full screen button which are also described in the "Getting Started" document in pages on my ipad. Is this something I need to worry about?
Also wondering if you can make pages document in landscape or is it only for portrait?

With the latest release of iOS and iWork apps for iOS, Apple has changed the Toolbar buttons:
What used to be the i - Info Button where object properties and text were changed is now the Brush icon (For styles, I guess) but has the same basic function as the i icon before - select an object or some text and tap the brush and you can change basic attributes.
What used to be the Media Insert icon (representation of an image) is now the "+" Button with the same functions as the previous icon - you can add shapes, tables, charts and media
The Tools Menu (wrench) is the same as before except in Keynote it now also has the Transitions and Builds access menu (double diamond icon) which used to reside on the toolbar and is now tucked under the Tools Menu
The View Full Screen (double arrow icon) has been removed and the document is now always in full view, sort-of.
Apple has yet to update their Getting Started Files for Pages, Keynote and Numbers to reflect these changes so it is understandably confusing to users.

Keep tapping the B key and it should reappear, or click-hold/right-click on whatever tool is currently visible right below the eraser.

Can i adjust pressure sensitivity options for tools other then paint brush?

Greetings all, i'm new to Photoshop elements and this forum, could someone help me with this problem please!!!!!!
Is there a way to adjust the pressure sensitve options opacity, scatter, hue jitter e.t.c for tools other then the paint brush such as the dodge and burn tool?
I'm wanting to use the dodge and burn tools with say a chalk brush but set the pressure sensitivity of my tablet to opacity, i can do this for the paint brush by using the tablet options drop down menu but the option doesn't seem to be avaiable for tools such as the eraser, dodge and burn and smudge tools.
I've tryed the brushes from the Pressure Sensitive set but there is no chalk brush in the Pressure Sensitive brush set that effects opacity and you can't adjust what settings are effected for each pressure sensitive brush when using tools other then the Paint Brush.
Can anyone help me with this as i've tryed everything i can think of.

I guess the easiest way would be to select the paint brush tool
and using the brush of your choice, set those options you want
and save the brush.
Then when you select a tool such as the burn tool, select your brush.
The one option that won't apply is the hue jitter (you can't use hue jitter or
color dynamics in the full version of photoshop either for most other tools
aside from the brush tool)

Painting Brush Issue

Ok I've been painting an image in Cs4 for some time but I took a break from it for a few weeks and I just came back to it, The issue I'm having is the way my brush presets are acting towards my brushes. I was using a Charcoal Brush which when messing with the presets works similar to a real paint brush in terms of the way the bristles show. This is sort of hard to explain but I'll try. My brush when I was using it, had like a dry brush effect; you could the see individual bristles depending on how much I messed with the brush shape dynamics, it could be thick like a loaded brush or it could be thin like a dry brush whatever. Now though when I try and recreate the brush when I go to the shape dynamics its not acting the way it was before. The brush wont thin out it takes on a splatter effect when I move the scattering slider and size jitter that never happened before and I cant get it to stop. Before the way those sliders would effect the brush is it would spread out the bristles now they just add a splatter on them and I cant change it.
^^^^^ That image is the brush before I mess with the presets. Normally I'd spread out the bristles but when I try I get the effect on the image below.
I know this is a bad explanation but I really cant figure out what I'm doing wrong I've reset the brushes I don't know how many times same with the presets I've messed with the opacity and flow but nothing is working. I wonder is there anyone who has an Idea of how I can possibly fix this? It's a problem because I need that effect from the brush in order to match the rest of the painting, Any help or advice would be appreciated, and again sorry for the bad explanation.

Yea I've tried both Size Jitter adds a splatter on it so I already have it at 0 and Pen Pressure just rounds out the edges which I don't mind but neither really have to do with the effect from before. I've tried to mimic the way I had the brush before going in and erasing some. The way it's working now is the top stroke and the way I had it is the bottom. Before the strokes where more spaced out, result of messing with the presets now if I mess with the they add a splatter to them.
