Painter tool goes all over in Lightroom 2.5

Haven't seen this issue posted, but my Painter tool is behaving more badly than usual.
I am trying to reject scattered photos while in Library grid mode, using the Painter. Each time I click on an image with the painter, rejects the image ok, then bounces to another part of the screen and I have to scroll back to where I was. In fact, the screen continues to shift around so much that the Painter tool is stupidly dangerous. I have never found it to work as it should, but this is the worst!
I have already downloaded LR2.5 approximately 8 times so far to fix issues - is that my only choice now?
I'm on a Mac OS 10.4.11.
Thanks,
Deb

Really? I had been told differently earlier and it seemed to help with the bugs during the first week of LR 2.5. Seems silly now however.
I will try your suggest to delete the preferences since I have found that very helpful when Photoshop goes wacky. Does it work a similar way that you hold down cmd+opt+shift (?) when re-starting the app?
Thanks,
Deb

  • When i resize my browser my content goes all over the place?

    I have made a new page on muse. It is complete and i like the way it looks but when i resize the browser my images and content move around and it doesnt align like i want it to. It needs to lign up with the background image. How do i get the content and images to stay where they are and not move when i resize my browser? My other pages do this just fine. If anyone can help me out that would be great!

    In general the site appears to being working normally in a desktop browser. However the content on the page is too wide for many site visitors. (At ~1600 px it's too wide for my 15" 1440 pixel Mac display.)
    The "lines2.png" is 1900 px wide and thus makes the content area of your site 1900 px wide. When a site is loaded in a mobile browser, the browser will zoom out so the content area fits in the width of the device.
    Given your current design I think you want to set the page with in Site Properties to roughly 1200 pixels (it looks like it's currently 960, but your main header sticks out on both the left and right so you probably want to make your page large enough so the full header fits).
    For the lines, perhaps I'm missing something about the precise appearance of the lines, but it seems this could just be a Muse rectangle with only the top and bottom stroke weights set (left and right strokes set to zero in the Stroke panel, click on the word Stroke in the Control Strip). If a Muse rectangle is dragged so its left and right edges are both at the left and right edge of the browser area, then the rectangle will automatically change width in the browser to always be the full with of the browser window (and there won't be another http request to download a .png for the lines, as there is now).

  • Webpage all over the place

    When i design my web page it looks fine on the screen but when i veiw it from a computera smaller screen size everything just goes all over the place, e.g. the title goes onto the next line and images move around.
    As i am not so good at html i would appreciate if you can please send me the html to fix this problem
    thanks a lot

    As i am not so good at html
    This will have to change if you want to continue to work with DW.  Without a solid understanding of HTML, DW will remain a frustrating mystery to you.
    i would appreciate if you can please send me the html
    How could we do this without seeing your page and its underlying HTML and CSS?  Post a link to the live page so we can give you a meaningful answer.

  • Update to IOS 6 has been a nightmare. Facebook would allow me to save pictures unless I granted access to my foto album. Does this mean my pictures are going be planted all over the web? The safari keeps crashing and loading is slow.

    update to IOS 6 has been a nightmare. Facebook would allow me to save pictures unless I granted access to my foto album. Does this mean my pictures are going be planted all over the web? The safari keeps crashing and loading is slow. Most infuriating is that YouTube was deleted from my entertainment apps and I now have to pay for it if I want it back!! This is a bloody disgrace.

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

    I have a comment.  I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool.  I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face.  This tool does not work.  It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.  How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

    It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
    How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?
    Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
    The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.

  • When using crop tool the screen goes all black

    When I select the crop tool and drag it across the photo to select crop area, the screen goes all black so that I cannot see the area selected or modify its size.
    All the boxes (size and resolution) of the tool are clear.
    Can somebody help me?
    I did try resetting all tools but didn't change anything, I restarted the program, I restarted the computer and is still happening.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The advice that seems to work most often with this kind of failure is to update your video drivers from the web site of the maker of your video card.
    Here are the links to the driver update pages for the two big video card makers:

    I'm not a "Cloud" member. I just upgraded to Lightroom 6 from Lightroom 5. All was working well yesterday. Today Lightroom will not open (Windows 7). I see the logo photo over my Lightroom platform but nothing loads and I see "Lightroom not responding." I checked the catalogs and see that lrcat-Journal and lrcat-Lock have been created every time I try to open. I have a backup from the first day I upgraded, but Lightroom doesn't want to access it. Should I reinstall?

    Well, is the catalogue (and the folder it is in) writable? Have you actually checked the permissions? Lightroom won't be spitting out the error just to tick you off, and - computer wizard or not - this sounds very much like something you'll have to fix at the OS level: it's probably nothing to do with Lightroom or those funny lads at Adobe.

  • HT1926 I was prompted to install iTunes 11.1.4 this morning. It failed (first time EVER) with the comment that 'msvcr80.dll' was not available. Upon searching for that .dll in my computer, I found it to be all over the place! Thoughts?

    I've NEVER had a version update fail. I did go to 'Tools' and download for a manual install of this update as the info screen suggested. It, too, failed. After searching for the 'missing' msvcr80.dll on my computer, I found it all over the place!
    Ran a malware & virus scan with nothing evil popping up.
    Tried going back to a restore point before a previous update and doing the install. It failed.
    OS: Vista Home Premium x64, SP2 (and current with all MS updates)

  • Tool Tip(Mouse Over)

    Hello All,
    I need to create a Tool Tip (Mouse Over) in BI. Requirement is *" I have a dashboard report which shows the different trends by arrows going up & down. When i take my mouse over the Up arrow, a text should come up which says 'Trend is up, because you gained as compared to last quarter'. similarly for Arrow going down. "*
    How to create such tool tip (mouse over) in BI. Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Ashish A.

    Hi Ashish, first of all, I am not sure to do a Tool-Tip-Text for Column Headers.
    As far as the column formulas, you can still use the code i sent and embed in the already updated column.
    Ex: Lets assume you have updated the formula of the column Products."Product ID" as REPLACE(Products."Product ID",'000','1111') || '_PD'. To show Products.Product_Name as a tool tip to the updated ProductID, you can embed the code as
    'OpenTag div title=" '|| Products.ProductName || ' " closetag' || REPLACE(Products."Product ID",'000','1111') || '_PD' || 'opentag /div closetag'
    Thanks

  • After down load there are add all over the place, firefox is unusable.

    my firefox got invaded by triviot or something like that so i uninstalled it and then downloaded it fresh. the download had more problems 1. wes is in the search box under fireball opening screen. now this is in the line where the site you are using goes. " http://lp.getfree-soft.net/mpc________/?o=42&campid=14406&creaid=5552&reqid=535945901" different adds are popping up all over the screen its a mess...

    Could you:
    (1) Visit the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program and click the "Installed on" column heading to group by date. I suspect you will find unwanted and probably undisclosed bundle items (AKA garbage) that snuck in with some free software. Remove what you can.
    (2) Scan using some of the effective free cleanup programs listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Note: don't remove places.sqlite or bookmarks-2014....json files that the cleaning programs may recognize as having history or bookmarks of bad sites because this could clear all your bookmarks.
    (3) Start Firefox back up again and check for any lingering problem extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then you can disable all nonessential or unrecognized extensions.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    (4) Finally, to reset your home page, search service, and new tab page to their defaults, you can use this one-click solution: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/]. If you prefer to do that by hand, we can post the steps.
    Does that flush the ads?

  • File search - files and projects all over the place

    I have not developed a standard set of scratch locations for all of my files, projects, autosaves, etc. As a result, I have media and project files all over the place on my computer and I now spend most of my time searching. I thought Bridge might help me search for and consolidate all relevant CS3 and CS4 files on all of my drives so that I can then place them into some standard scheme.
    When I do a search from the file menu "find" by criteria I drop down a list of various files, but no project files from After Effects, Premiere, Audition, etc. Does Bridge have a feature that will find and move all my files? 

    I don't think bridge will search across different drives although have read Lightroom will.  Bridge searches from where you start your search and then goes down the  directory from there.  Since I have all my pictures on one drive can't say how that would work it other programs are below it in the directory tree.
    If you have Vista is it very fast at searching.  It searchs across drives if they are all indexed.  The advanced seearch will find keywords "tags" in MS talk.

  • Default setting all over the place k9diamond

    hi, i just upgraded my cpu to a 940be, working a dream, overclocks well when 9850 didnt! (see sig for spec)
    anyway, with the 9850, if i put things in cell menu on auto, they were all over the place it would set cpu to 3gz etc, so i set it all manually. i flashed to update 3 using the great tool on here.
    fitted new cpu, no power held reset cmos to a good while, and powered up,
    checksum incorrect press F1 to set up. the cpu volts were red and 1.8 volts!! i really hope this is not what was going through cpu?
    so, had to set it all manually and it going great, but what the hell are these defaults about? i thought it would make sense to put everything down until you optimised not go wading in on max power?
    bios show s all hardware correctly, just doesnt know how to set it up.
    what am i doing wrong?
    thanks.
