Pen tool simulate pressure doesn't work

Hi!
I've got a huge problem, I use Photoshop for my hobby which is creation nice design, which I share with other people. Now...
I have PS CS2 & CS3, at first, when I used the pen tool in CS2, it would't do the simulate pressure. When I got CS3, at first I was delighted to see that here the simulate pressure DID work! But after just one use, it my joy collapsed, again the simulate pressure does not work!
I really don't know what to do, I've searched every forum on the net, but I can't find an answer! Please help me!
Thanks for you time, Yvo Hunink

Make an open line using Pen Tool (P)
click Brush Tool (B)
click window > Brushes or click F5
Activate Shape Dynamics and set control to Pen Presure
Then on canvas, right click> Stroke Path, check Simulate Pressure
Done!
Tips:
- to sharpen the edge, set the hardness of Brush Tool (B) to 100%
- Brush tool (B), right click and set the hardness

Stroke Path - Simulate Pressure no longer working

In my retouching work I frequently use the Simulate Pressure function of Stroke Path.
This has stopped working.
Stroking path with Brush works, but the Simulate Pressure doesn't.
I've run Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner to run the Chron Scripts, Fix Permissions, Clear Caches, even Fix Prebindings.
I've restarted several times.
So now I'm out of ideas.
Suggestions as the what the problem is and, more importantly, a solution short of a complete reinstall of PS?

Did you check your brush settings in the Brushes panel?
For instance to use simulate pressure for size, the control
needs to be set to pen pressure.

Pen tool in In design not working, please help the newbie!

Hi there,
I am very new to in design, I am trying to work the pen tool which previously worked when I was playing around with it on a previous version of in design but I have now downloaded the creative suite and when i use this in design if I am trying to draw a shape it creates black patches that firstly make it hard to move to the next point as it covers the image and then when I go to cut out the image and paste into its gone.

You have a fill selected as your default so when you create a shape it's being filled with color. Before you start drawing, set Fill to none and Stroke to a value like 1 point.

Select Tool (blk arrow) doesn't work correctly-illustrator cs2

Hi, all.
when you click on an object with black arrow, it converts to free transform automatically.
so as many people might do, I used black arrow to re-size or rotate etc etc. rather than using free transform tool.
but it suddenly not working. Did I press wrong key by accident or something?
Thank you

sugene yoo,
>but it suddenly not working. Did I press wrong key by accident or something?
Actually, assuming the Selection Tool now selects, it started working, so you must have pressed the right key or something.

Qosmio G10 with new graphic card and pcb - Tools CD Update doesn't work

Hi everybody
I hope you can help me. Before a few weeks I received my Toshiba Qosmio G10 back from the support, because the notebook didn't work anymore. So I get it back with a new Grafic card and a new PCB. With my Notebook I get a CD which is called update Tool CD-Rom and an instruction sheet, where it says that you have to boot with this update Tool CD-Rom after you had installed the Windows with the reovery CD.
So I made it, but when I know put the update Tool CD-Rom in and I boot with it, the computer installs something but after a short while there comes a message that it is a different model and that I have to put a button to shut down the Notebook. So i made it but the Windows doesn't start.
Why is that so? I had everything done which was said on the instruction sheet.
Please help me

Hello
It will be interesting to find out more about this update Tool CD-Rom. Is there Toshiba label? Can you please write what is described there?

Writing Tools Dictionary Thesaurus Doesn't Work or Pop Up

This has been driving me crazy for months. If I want to look up a word or get thesaurs recommendations, I right click a Word in Pages and the dictionary pop up is revealed. Except, it doesn't. At least not all the time.
I can't put my finger on when or why, but it's quirky and annoying. The beauty of the popup contextual menu is to quickly get work done. Sometimes I want to get a definition or perhaps choose a word from the thesaurus. But I can't
Even choosing the selection from the drop down menu does nothing. The computer just sits there.
I could log on tomorrow and perhaps start a new document and it will. This is so darn simple it should work all the time.
Anyone else have this issue? What's the fix?

Dictionary is an application which you can find in the Application folder.
If you can't make it work the way I have described it you are doing something wrong.

When using crop tool reveal all doesn't work

I am using Photoshop CS3 on an intel mac with Leopard installed. When I use the crop tool on my layers with hide selected, make my selection and accept it everything looks fine, when I go back to Reveal All, my background layer remains cropped. I have reset my preferences, which did not work and have uninstalled & re-installed CS3 to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That happens if you have a Background Layer.
Double-click to turn the Background Layer into an ordinary layer and then Crop.
"Reveal All" should then work as advertised.

Photoshop Pressure Doesn't work on Multitouch Tablet Pc's!

I have a Hp tx2z. Its got a screen made by Ntrig and not by wacom. So instead of using the standard wintab api it uses standard hid based USB instructions.
The Dell Latitude Xt and XT2 both use these screens.
I was told by the people at Ntrig that Adobe is in fact working on writing photoshop to read data from the Ntrig digitizer.
Ntrig has been very negligent during the whole course of trying to resolve this problem and I believe that they are blowing smoke. I don't think that adobe is working on this and am wanting to confirm this.
I love LOVE LOVE photoshop, I have spent years learning the software and learning to draw in photoshop is one of the greatest joys I have. There is no software out there like it. Will someone please contact me and let me know whats going on?
is there indeed a fix on the way? Myself and 10's of thousands of Dell and Hp users would be ecstatic beyond belief if we could go back to using photoshop. (currently no use in upgrading) This way we won't have to find another way or another inferior program to try to satisfy our artistic needs.
I hope to hear back soon!

No, I meant what i said,
this problem is two sided and we have two companies who can do something to fix the problem. One company is great, and one company is unbelievably arrogant. Ntrig I don't like. Adobe i do like.
regardless... both companies are loosing money and clout due to the issue. Someone on the good side "Adobe" can fix the problem just as readily as Ntrig. The first one to fix it has the most to gain and its not an overly large problem to fix for those with the know how.
I agree that Ntrig is arrogant and stubborn. Adobe I'm hoping with take the steps and play big brother to this problem and not little sister waiting for an inferior less mature company to take responsibility. We both know it is their problem, but adobe is still loosing out because of it. And adobe, you can fix their mistake and benefit from it.
Win 7 will likely find its biggest success off this digitizers multitouch setup. whether i like them or not, you can only help yourself out by updating the wonderful unrivaled software that you create to be even more flexible then it already is.
I can't wait to use photoshops brushes again. =)
take care, your not the best for nothing,

In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

I Created an adjustment (Curves) layer and did the curves adjustment. Then I did an Edit Fill (Normal Mode, 100% Opacity and Use: Black).
I then try to use the brush tool, but it doesn't work. I've done this hundreds of times before and suddenly it's not working. Rebooted the system, but that didn't help.
I know how to do a screen shot, but it doesn't paste onto this screen. How do I get that to you?
thanks for your help

Problem creating vector mask with Pen Tool

Using Photoshop CS5, Mac OS 10.6.8
I'm trying to create a simple vector mask using the pen tool to create a curved line at the top and bottom of a photo. Here's what I'm doing:
1. Create a new layer and select it.
2. Select Pen tool.
3. Choose "work path" by selecting button at top menu.
4. I draw my shape with the pen tool.
5. Now comes the problem... I can not select this shape, or assign it a color. When I create a clipping mask, it does not recognize my path. When I throw away the layer, the shape is still there in outline only. What am I missing here? I'm familiar with doing this in Illustrator, but I don't understand how it works in PSD.
I need some help, please.
Thanks.

The main thing i use paths for in photoshop is extracting objects from photos.
Other uses include stroking paths with the paint tools. For example, if you had
a powerline to remove, one could trace the line with the pen tool and then stroke
the path with spot healing brush set to content aware fill.

Personalize link doesn´t work

Hi Everybody,
I´m getting an access denied error when I click on the Personalize link in the portal masthead iview. This is what I did:
1) I copied the eu_core_role.
2) I copied the personalize workset.
3) I deleted the home content in the new eu_core_role.
4) I assigned the new personalize workset to the new eu_core_role as a delta link.
5) I assigned the new eu_core_role to users and user groups.
6) I checked the end user permissions for these users and user groups.
After these steps, the link doesn´t work.
We´re on Netweaver Portal SP14.
I tested the Personalize link with the portal URL fully qualified (DNS) and not fully qualified (just hostname).
Can somebody help me?
Thank You very much for Your help.
Regards.
SS.

Hi again,
Another question:
After I assigned the new eu_core_role to users and user groups, the tool area search doesn´t work. It shows an access denied error, too. This error seams to be related to changes on eu_role, isn´t it?
The tool area search and the Personalize link only work with administrators (users with admin roles).
I´ll appreciate Your help.
Regards.
SS.

Pen Tool clipping paths to light/ low contrast.

Mac (10.6.8)
When using the pen tool to make clipping paths (silhouetting) the lines are much to light, thin and low contrast to be properly seen. I spend a lot of time clipping products (often middle greyish colored ones) and find in some places it is virtually impossible to even see the line/path being created.
I downloaded the CS6 beta with hopes that this problem was resolved but am unable to see where/how to fix it. (fixed outright? adjustments to line weight? Ability to change path color? Etc) Anyone else get it working properly?
FYI It worked fine up until CS3 but with CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 Adobe seems to have gone backwards. When researching a work around I have often seen it blamed on the MAC OS but that is untrue as I have both CS3 and CS5.5 installed on the same machine and the pen tool for clipping paths still works great in CS3.

We do lots of paths as well, this helps somewhat:

Is there anyway to chage the stoke on the pen tool?

Hi I want to use the pen tool but it doesn't look to good with the rounded ends. Iv noticed the brush tool automatically makes a tipped end with the stroke and im wondering can you do this with the pen tool?
The red is what I want but seeing how i only have a mouse I need to use the pen tool
The blue is the pen tool with the ugly rounded edges id like it to look like the red stoke.
