Photoshop CC for Mac - why can't I use the paint bucket?

I finally found the paint bucket tool - but when I try to use it, I get the circle w/ the cross in it (like the ghostbusters background ).
EUREKA! it didn't work with .tif or .psd files, but it DID work w/ a .jpg file!
Hopw this helps someone!

The file format does not matter (once the image is loaded, it's just bits).
The only time I know of that the paint bucket would not work is on a 32 bit/channel document.
Were you using the wrong bit depth in your files by mistake?

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac-OS, can this be used on a PC?  I'm wanting to load onto a PC/laptop.

    I have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac OS, which I use on my desktop.  I've recently purchased an HP laptop, is there a way to use my licensed CS5 version of Photoshop on my new HP PC?

    No, the CS5 software is operating system-specific and even if you were willing to trade for the Windows version you could not at this point due to that only being possible for the latest. release, CS6.

    I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
    iOS version 6.1.6
    I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
    Here is what finally worked:
    1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
    2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
    3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
    4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

  • Why can I not use the channel name, which is obtained from the function of DAQmx Task, as the input of the channel name for the function of Get Channel Information of DAQ?

    Why can I not use the channel name, which is obtained from the function of DAQmx Task, as the input of the channel name for the function of Get Channel Information of DAQ?

    Not a lot of details here, but my guess is this isn't working for you because you are wiring in the task to the Active Channels Property and not the actual Channel Name. I have attatched a screenshot of what I believe you are trying to do. The Task has 2 channels in it, so I need to index off one of the channels and wire it into the active channels input of the Channel Property node. Then I can read information about that channel

  • Why can't I use the landscape feature for iPhone 5? It only works in limited apps. I feel as though I wasted my money since I prefer to use my phone in landscape mode.

    Why can't I use the landscape feature in all of the apps? It seems like a waste of money since I prefer to use the landscape feature.

    It is up to the app developer to decide if the app should work in landscape mode or not. This is also true on Android phones, by the way.

  • Why can't I use the Basic brush tool?

    I'm learning the ropes of drawing in Illustrator and I've fallen at the first hurdle. Why can't I use the Basic brush tool? Whenever I select the brush tool and use the 'Basic' brush type, the cursor turns into a hashed circle indicating I can't draw. If I load other brushes, I can draw with other brush types, but I can't use the Basic one. If I select the Basic brush when I have other brushes loaded and try to draw with it, it always defaults to a different brush! I don't understand why.
    On a related matter, I'm also having trouble changing brush size. I know that using the [ and ] keys changes brush size, but I have no idea what the values are. If I try this in Photoshop, I can see the brush size in the Options bar, but in Illustrator it doesn't appear anywhere! Not in the Brushes palette, the Stroke palette or the Appearance palette. Where can I see the brush size?

    Glitcher,
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output'?

    why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output' in main screen of delivery note?
    And at the same time I can't use the button of printing in main screen of delivery note.
    the main screen of delivery note I mean above is in screen of maintaining shipping data instand of the first screen of VL02N.
    TKS in advance.

    Hi,
    Because delivery will be having header level output and item level output. So if u try to print through main screen then system will not know whether it is header related or item related. That is the reason it is only print output at header level or item level but not in main screen.
    I think u may have doubt like how billin will be issued output through Main screen. Because for billing both header and item level data are same..
    Regards

  • It says in the corner of my itunes account that i still have money from my itunes gift card that i redeemed, but when i buy a song my billing info pops up. Why can't I use the money?

    It says in the corner of my itunes account that i still have money from my itunes card that i redeemed, but when i try to buy a song, the billing info. pops up. Why can't i use the money on my card?

    It is simply asking you to verify your account info. Select None for the CC.
    It will still pay with your gift card balance.

    Hi,
    The 24Gb cache drive will store manything and normally it will need at least twice the size (capacity) of RAM. Double 16Gb is 32Gb therefore 24Gb is not big enough.
