Photoshop CC flashing window while using quick selection or brush tools.

Whenever I am using the quick selctions tool or brush tools, basically anything that involves movement, part of my work space begins to flash. Any way I can fix it? I originally thought it was my exernal display, but then noticed it only happens in PSD.

Chris - I am running 10.9.1 as of now and unfortuneately I am running Intel drivers. Updating the Photoshop CC Application helped, but every now and then I am getting a few flashes. It is way better than before though, it was getting untolerable.
I am running a MacBook Pro hooked up to a ThunderBolt display to.

Quick selection & smart brush tools are freezing

Hello! As of the past couple days I have had issues using my quick selection and smart brush tools. Every time I try to use either as soon as I start lassoing part of my image it freezes. I can't click Command+D, I can't click anything else in my toolbar, I can't open up a new picture. The only thing I can do is to Force Quit. I recently downloaded Yosemite for my MacBook Pro and wonder if the issue could somehow correlate with that. Any ideas? Thank you!

Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool

In both Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool with horizontal images. Im running Lightroom on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac with 32 GB of memory with OS 10.8.4, this problem has gotten worse and worse to the point where the crop tool is unusable. Please help!

Alright,
no replies so far! Anyways, here's some more information which is leading me to the conclusion that the bug causing the effect described above is a combination of Apple's SMB implementation of Mavericks and the way Lightroom is actually using SMB network access:
I did another trial by connecting a USB hard drive to the USB port of my router (Netgear). The connection is quite slow, but moving one of the folders in question (see my 1st post above) to the shared drive connected to the Router made Lightroom on my Windows machine to see the photos again, when I told Lightroom where to find the moved folder!
Everything was working as expected, on the Windows machine again! Moving the folder back again to the Mac Mini fileshare was causing Lightroom on the PC to get blind again for the pictures trying to sync or import. However, accessing and modifying a photo was possible again, like it was before the trial. So it's only the sync and import function having a problem!
I also did some trial in re-building ACLs and access rights on the file server with no luck. So there's got to be a functionality in sync and import of Lightroom which is using a certain SMB feature which is not supported by Apple's SMB implementation!
Any thoughts or hints?
Thanks!

PSE 9 crashes when I use the Spot Healing Brush tool

When I use the Spot Healing Brush tool PSE9 crashs completly. Is it a bug? In the older version 8 I had no problem.
I use WIN XP SP2, Intel Pentium 4, 3 Ghz, GPU: NVIDIA Geforce FX 5700, DirectX 9.0c 4.09.00.0904.
I tried it also on another PC with WIN7 and it caused the same problem.
Thanks for any adivse

I know this post doesn't really help you guys, but I'm also using PSE9 on a Win7 Intel Quad Core Dell computer and the spot healing brush works fine. I only offer this post to indicate that it apparently is not a universal bug in PSE9. Perhaps an Adobe expert can jump in here and help. I can only offer that in Preferences I do have the RAM dialed up to 80%, but I don't think this is related to your problem.

How to copy and paste into the same picture using quick selection tool

I have Photoshop CS5 and am new at this. What I need to do is copy and paste something in the image back into the same image. I can select it with the quick selection tool. All I want to do is paste a copy of it back into my image, move it and rotate it a little.
I've searched for an answer for a couple of days now and evidently, I'm searching for the wrong thing. This is what I need to do and I don't know how to get there. I do this in Digital Image Suite all the time and it's very simple. I know Photoshop is a lot more complicated but you can do more with it so I am trying to switch by using it to work on my projects. I've read articles where people say to use the quick selection tool and do a copy and paste but for me, all it does is add blank layer and the selection disappears. If I paste again, it pastes the item in the middle of the image and I can't move it or change it in any way.
One more question: in the Filters menu, all of the filters are gray-shaded. I read that I have to buy these filters, is that true?
Thank you for your help. If there is a beginner's forum where you would rather I post my questions, please let me know.

Once you have a selection, I use Ctrl C to copy and Ctrl V to paste. This will add a layer but may not look like it as it is in exactly the same spot in picture. If you paste again it will show up near middle of picture.
If you want to resize and rotate use Ctrl T.
More options are in Edit/Transform. I particularly like Warp.
All the filters should be active, but many only work in 8 bit RGB mode. To see what mode they are in click Image/Mode.

Runtime Error while using Dynamic Selection

Hi,
We are getting a runtime error while using a dynamic selection. One of the fields has got an apostrophe in the middle of the text and so the condition is returning an error SAPSQL_WHERE_PARANTHESES.
Let's say the value in the field is SCV's. So the WHERETAB is filled as 'SCV's' or `SCV's`. An exception is caught in this case as there is no closing apostrophe.
Let us know if anyone has come across a similar issue and any help is appreciated.

Is it possible to edit (levels, curves, exposure, saturation, etc.) a selected area of a photo (using quick selection, magnetic lasso, etc.) without moving the selected section to another document and editing it there?

I'm trying to edit a portion of a photo of a lake so that the rays of sunlight (the lines that run across the sky) are more prominent, without darkening the rest of the photo. I've sucessfully selected, removed, and edited the sky in the photo (the part that I want to enhance the sun rays on), but I can't figure out how to get that piece (currently it's own document) back onto the original jpeg document. I took the selection from the Background copy if that is of any help to figuring this out.

Another way in photoshop is to make a Group above the photo. add a layer mask using the selection and put the adjustment layers in the group

Axis Problem while using Quick Address

we are developing a JSPDynPage using a code developed by us using a third part JAR file of Quick Address to use the Quick Address Pro Web tool. Without entering to describe the functionality.

The qas.proweb package is a third party code in a jar file imported in the Project developed in Netweaver and it compiles and executes fine but this is the error it gives us in the log, showing some problem with the connexion. This qas.proweb runs by using SOAP and probably the problem will be some compatibility issue with this in the Portal.
The code used in the JSPDynPAge to acces qas.proweb is the same as the one working in a Java program with a main method requesting data against the same machine.
It could be some issue with axis and the SAP Portal.
What do you think about this error??
Thank you in advance.

I solved the problem by installing only the JAva part, without the ABAP part.

Photoshop Elements 11 Selection and brush tool not working right

I have this problem where I select parts of an image I am trying to draw, and I want to fill the selected regions of the image with color but whenever I use the brush or the paint bucket tool to fill it, little tiny regions outside of the selection are also painted, now I am not sure if I don't have the settings right, or if the software is broken. I have attached two screenshots that show the problem, please someone explain to me how I can fix this.

Also when I am trying to attach images from my computer to a discussion here in the adobe forums I can't because the "insert image" remains greyed out even though I have selected the image file I would like to attach.

It appears that the selection is not accurate, i.e. the "marching ants" extend beyond the object. If you are using the selection brush for this purpose, on the tool's option bar, you will see icons via which you can add to, or subtract from, the selection.
Once you have created the selection with precision, go to Edit menu>fill selection. In this dialog there are several options which are self explanatory.
You can also place the selection on its own layer via CTRL+J, then use the eraser tool to touch up. I do this frequently. It helps to place a layer with contrasting color below the selection layer temporarily to facilitate visualization. Be sure to delete this layer when you are done.
To post a picture file, save it to disk, then click on the camera icon in the reply box here, click browse, and point to where the file is on disk, then insert.

Okay so I'm in Photoshop making an edit and im trying to use quick selection and I press alt to use the minus and it doesn't do it. Basically, in Photoshop my right side control keyboard, like like control, alt, and brackets.. So all those are switched up

BBasically my alt, control, bracket symbols, etc are all switched up and I doby know how I did it... any ideas on what I pressed to make it messed up??

Having difficulty using quick selection tools to remove background form images. Any help appreciated

Hello All,
I am trying to remove background from images using the 3 different selection tools. I start off fine, but ultimately the entire images keeps getting grabbed which ever tool I am using. It is easier if you are using a pro version of photoshop and not any of the elements versions? I have elements 11.
Thanks

So much depends on the image itself to determine which tool is most appropriate. Another tool to try is the selection brush, where you literally paint in what you want to select.
