Photoshop brushes not working

               All my Adobe programs (Illustrator, Photoshop, Elements, ects) the paintbrush commands (or simply brush) will not work. Someone suggested uninstalling Photoshop and performing a clean reinstall. I tried that but now the Photoshop installer program wants me to put the original program CD in the D: drive - unfortunately my D: drive is a harddrive so there is no way for me to put the CD in there!! I also suspect that all my Adobe programs are corrupted not just Photoshop. Does anyone know what happened and how I can go about taking care of the problem?
Thanks and Merry Christmas,

To me it sounds like windows changed your drive letters or something. D drive should always be your CD/DVD drive by default.
My computers look like this:
A: is for the old floppy drive (I don't have one so it is turned off in the bios)
B: floppy old disk not used
C: primary drive
D: CD/DVD
E: Second drive
F: USB stick
So either you set it up this way or windows changed the sequence.
What OS do you have? I will do some searching about changing the drive letters.

  • Photoshop Elements not working with Yosemite

    After upgrading OS to Yosemite I could not get Photoshop Elements 11 to work properly - sluggish operation and brushes not working.  I upgraded to Elements 13 but it gets sluggish as time passes and some of the filters don't work.  It is frustrating to say the least as I do lots of photo processing and it just takes too long now.  Can anybody help?

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi Hardy Tasso,
    Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
    Please try:
    Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

  • Standard brushes not working in Photoshop or Illustrator

    I have a lot of standard brushes that came with the CC brush library that are not working with any of the programs they come with. When I hover over the brushes they say "Type: Sketch Brush This brush format is not supported by Photoshop/Illustrator"
    So where can I use these brushes then? I would like to create brushes using the Adobe Brush CC program on my phone/tablet, but I can't use them in my programs. ... What am I doing wrong here?

    They are probably brushes from Adobe Brush. You have to target them in Brush to either make them work in AI or Photoshop.

  • Adobe photoshop tools not working on a Surface tablet randomly?

    I just installed CC Adobe photoshop on my Surface Pro 3 tablet and it has been nothing but frustration.   For reasons I cannot discern, the tools do not work on my image at random times.  I'll have smudges on one of the layers, and I choose the eraser tool and it won't erase anything in any layer.  I can't draw anything with a brush or pencil either.  In fact the tools stop working altogether. Yes the layer is active and visible, no it's not locked.  Very frustrating, and I'm at wits end. The only thing I've been able to do is save my work in stages, and go back to the previous stage if this happens. Is there a glitch on the Surface pro 3 with photoshop that causes it to not respond?

    I was having the same trouble, so i went to Adobe Help's Preferences > General Settings and switched to Display Local Help content only = Yes. As it says there, it disables the online links, but if you have an updated version of Help downloaded, it's easier and quicker anyway than the online system, and likely all you were needing anyway. You can always turn it back on later.

  • Brushes not working in CS6

    I just installed the Student and Teacher edition of CS6 Design and Web Premium. I am having a major issue with Photoshop--my brushes are not working. Smooth airbrushes are appearing with spattered edges (I do not have noise turned on or any other adjustments made), and the erodable brushes are not working at all. Everything else within CS and Photoshop seems to be working fine.
    Can anyone suggest a solution?

    FierceWraps if I had to guess I'd say you targeted a Layer Mask and painted black on it with a somewhat soft brush, so transparency is showing through the layer.
    If that's not what happened, perhaps a full screen grab showing everything (Layers panel especially) could be helpful.

  • Clone Stamp Tool and Healing Brush not working - why?

    As pointed out in the thread subject line, both the clone stamp tool and healing brush are not working for me in Photo Elements 7.
    When I am attempting to use it, I get the message: "Could not use clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined".   Well, this is not the case since I did define it with command Alt + left mouse click.
    Background:
    Photo Elements 7 is installed in Windows XP Professional SP3. The latter runs as a virtual O/S with Sun VirtualBox on host SuSE Linux 11.1 (Gnome).
    I have run out of ideas as to what the problem could be, so I am requesting assistance from the forum community. Thank you very kindly in advance for replies.

    Do you mean photoshop elements 7 and not premiere elements?
    The fix posted above only applies to linux os systems, which is
    different from mac and windows.
    On windows vista Alt+left click is to set the clone source.
    Try the following steps one at a time.
    1. reset the clone stamp tool by clicking triangle on the far left of the
       tool options bar and select reset tool.
    2. Go to Edit>Preset Manager and click Done in the dialog that appears.
    3. Reset the elements 7 preferences by holding down the Shift+Alt+Ctrl keys
        at the same time you start elements 7. In the dialog that appears, click yes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adjustment brush not working in camera raw cs6

    The adjustment brush in Camera Raw PS6 is not working properly.  The slider makes a slight change but I can do no local adjustments.  All other parts of Camera Raw seems to be working.  I have restored the computer.  Is there a toggle I do not know about?

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,

    @ Talha1997,
    Please follow the below mentioned steps let me know if they work:
    1. Uninstall current Ps CC app, If there are any issues with CC uninstall then run the Cleaner tool to remove Ps CC :http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html .
    2. Restart your system
    2. Install Ps CC app from Creative Cloud
    3. Do not launch Ps
    4. Update to 14.1.2 via the Creative Cloud desktop application
    5. Once the updates are successfully applied, Launch Ps CC to verify.
    If it does not work please let me know, I would try to resolve it over a connect session.

  • CC 2014.2 Illustrator and Photoshop will not work properly on 10.7.5

    I have recently download Illustrator and Photoshop CC 2014.2 on my MacBook Pro version 10.7.5.
    I notice some of the functions where not working properly. For example Bounding box in Illustrator will not appear for rectangle tool. Color strip on the color box will appear as sold color instead of strips of different colors for me to choose.
    I called the Adobe to find out why is this happening and they told me it was because I don't have the latest OS on my MAC. Do to company policy I can't upgrade my OS to the latest version. Adobe send me the link that is not working for two times and need the correct link ASAP.
    Can you guys please send me the right link for me to downgrade?
    Thank you

    Piruki have you tried utilizing the Previous version option within the Creative Cloud Desktop application?  You can find additional details under the install Previous version section of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Open in Photoshop still not working

    Hello.
    For some reason the Open in Phortosop command stopped working for me in LR5.5, although I was able to get it going again by uninstalling/reinstalling Photoshop or Lightroom. Then, with LRCC everything worked. Now it is not working again.
    This may be related to Apple's operating system, but I know it has been a problem for many users, for many months. We need to fix it once and for all!
    Fully loaded iMac. OS 10.10.4
    Thanks.

    Thanks - usually that works, but I tried it and no go. Next I will try reinstalling LR again.
    How long is this issue going to remain?

    Any ideas people?

    Since the problem is system wide, you can try booting into Safe Mode, which cleans out a buncha cache files, and then reboot normally and see it that works. To reboot in Safe Mode you need to restart and as soon as you hear the chime press and hold the Shift key. The reboot will take longer as the system cleans the caches and runs a disk check procress (it also disables all third party kernel extensions, and some Apple ones as well, so some things may not work--notably a third party mouse or tablet). If that works you may also want to run Font Book and validate your fonts. Photoshop can react very badly to corrupted fonts.
