Photoshop CC Live Shapes Properties Window Error
When I create a rounded corners 'live shape' I don't get the correct Properties Window, it seems to show 'Mask' properties instead? So therefore I can't edit the corner readius. Sure I am doing something dumb - I must be missing something really obvious?
You need Photoshop CC to use Live Shape properties. Just remember to use the Path Selection Tool and select the path right on the canvas, not in the layer panel, to see the Live Shape properties again. This re-enables the Live Shape properties.

Photoshop CC Live Shapes Properties Bug
Checking out the corner radii controls on vector shapes and it looked to be working, until I created a couple of other shapes. The Properties box inconsistently changes for the same kind of shapes.
Link to vid to show my problem: http://cl.ly/PheD
Looks like I can't go back to edit the shape for some reason. What would cause this? It's like the shape has suddenly stopped being a Live Shape.
Cheers!Hello,
As a couple of people have mentioned in this thread, the Live Shapes Properties panel displays based on which subpaths are currently targeted. By targeted, I mean that the anchor points on the path are visible and at least one is filled. Clicking on the shape with the Path Selection tool is the easiest way to target a subpath. You can add to the targeted subpaths by Shift-clicking additional shapes with the Path Selection tool (or Shift-dragging around the shapes you want to select). Using the Move tool won't work for this, since it only selects the layer and not the path(s).
We implemented it this way because now that Photoshop has multiple path selection and there are so many combinations of ways to select different kinds of paths, it can get really buggy when Photoshop has to make assumptions about exactly what the user meant to select. This way, it's obvious which subpaths are targeted.
We are continuing to look into ways to improve the way the Properties panel works for live shapes. I see that a couple of bugs are mentioned here in addition to the issue with accessing the Live Shape Properties panel.
Not only does it forget that you have a live shape, you can not create a new live shape if the you have a shape layer selected.
This should be possible. Could you post the list of steps you're using when you run into this problem?
This bug goes a lot further than what you have stated, if you select the live shape from the tool menu on the left it removes the properties and the width becomes the width of the space.
I'm not sure what you mean by this -- could you also post a list of steps?
Thanks! -
Running OSX 10.8.4. Photoshop CC
After creating a group of rounded rectangles.. randomly they will change from having editable Live Shape Properties to just the Masks Properties --- the Live Shape little icon/button in the top of the Properties panel is missing and only shows the Masks icon. Eventually all the rounded rectangles will lose the editable Live Shape Properties. No rhyme or reason.Had the same problem. Turns out I needed to use the Path Selection Tool and click the path right on the canvas, not in the layer panel. This re-enables the Live Shape properties.

Auto shape properties window doesn´t refresh values
hi,
after installing creative suite 4 on my new pc i have a big problem. the auto shape properties window in fireworks doesn´t refresh the values of my shape. if i select the shape i have to close the panel and open it again to get the right values. if i select on shape and then another one, i have to do the same. this is really annoying.
here a little demonstration: http://gate8.de/jeeeee/2013-03-13_1810.swf
i uninstalled fireworks, deleted preferences folder, updated graphic driver and finally called the support but they "coundn´t" help because the product is too old
i hope you can help.
thx a lot!
JensHopefully, you realize you can edit the Auto Shapes directly on the canvas. Hovering over a "yellow diamond" will reveal a tooltip telling what property it adjusts.
It sounds like there's a communication problem between the panel and the canvas/application. The Auto Shape Properties panel is a SWF panel that resides in the application's Configuration/Command Panels folder. Other SWF panels include Align, Path, Symbol Properties, Image Editing, Special Characters, and Color Palette. I wonder if any of these other panels are affected?
It seems like there's been a lot of problems with Flash-based panels conflicting with other apps or plug-ins. Try quitting and restarting the application with no other applications running in the background. Also check out something like this: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3931126 -
Is live shape properties only available on CC?
I am using adobe CS6 and can't find an easier way to manipulate shapes. Wondering if this feature is only in CC.
Live Shapes is a new feature in Photoshop CC. It actual a new interfaces for doing things like rounded corners rectangles you can even change corners independently. To do that in CS6 you needed to install a script. Shape are not really hard to edit in CS6. Shape are basically fill layer with a vector mask. It is not hard to edit the vector mask Path using Photoshop vector tools like the pen tool path selection tools. In fact you can ever edit rounder corners rectangle corners without the script. But not as easy as with the script.

Photoshop CC Properties Panel Live Shape bug
I know this problem was being discussed in the Photoshop forum a few months ago, but I want to put it in CC forum, since it's a CC problem.
I'm having the same issues as these people, where the properties panel doesn't always show you the live shape options and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Is there any movement on this?
watch a video of the problem here

Hi,
It ends up being a design decision, based on limitations around multi-layer selection and multi-path selection. There were serious problems activating the Live Shape properties without making a deliberate gesture from users a requirement. That's why we only enable them when paths are targeted with the Path tool or Direct select tool.
regards,
steve
SG... Why not make the Live Shape Properties appear when the Move Tool selects a layer, then Free Transform Path is activated? That is a deliberate gesture that is intuitive.
That seems more natural than having to use the Path tool or Direct Select tool, which feels more like an awkward hack than a natural flow.
Just making the Live Shapes selectable in the menu and/or assigning it a shortcut would be a step in the right direction.
Thanks,

Missing Live Shapes function when closing and reopening Photoshop CC
When I create a LIVE SHAPE in Photoshop CC edit the corners etc, close the file and then reopen at another stage, the ability to change the LIVE SHAPE properties has dissapeared.
Is it a bug or am I missing something.
Thanks in advance.Best way I have found so far is to use the direct select tool (A). It gives you the properties on some of the shapes again. It doesn't always work though. Half of my shapes work and half don't

How to change shape properties after having created one?
Photoshop CC 2014 -- latest update as of October 06, 2014
Windows 7
How can I change a shapes properties after having created one.
I have created a simple ellipse.
When I drew the ellipse with the tool, I had the option for the fill color/style and stroke, etc.
After I have created said ellipse, I wish to change its properties.
I can use the Paint Bucket, gradient tool, etc for the fill, but is there way to get back to the original set of tools with which I created the ellipse in the first place?
If I use Edit > Stroke... it adds a new stroke around the existing shape.
If I use Edit > Fill... the entire layer is filled.
There must surely be a way to reenter the tool set to edit an existing shape. No?
Thanks,Hi everyone,
Thanks for the helpful tips, advice, etc.
I didn't explain myself very well--I apologize.
However, with your tips I figured it out:
When I create a rectangle or ellipse, I can later click on its layer and the Properties window appears with options to change their "Live Shape Properties."
However, not so with the Polygon and Shape tools. With them, the Properties window shows only the Masks, but the Toolbar still shows some basic properties I can change.
I was stymied by the above differences while working only on a Shape.
I've attached two JPEG screenshots.
I didn't need to change the actual shape, just the fill/stroke, etc.
Later, I may wish to change the actual shape, but that appears to be done by simply creating something new.
Thanks much!! -
How do I get the shape/line 'properties window' on Photoshop sc4. (mac) It shows it on the help videos but I cannot find it?
For a crisp border of any color or any size, Just expand the "Canvas" by 0.5 inches or whatever dimension your file needs.

Error number 148.3 Licensing for this product has stopped working. I rebooted several times to no avail. Still get the same error message everytime I try to start Photoshop. I'm using Windows 7 -- 64 bit
If you can not use CS4 menu Help>Activate|Deactivate to get the install working again you may need to re-install CS4.

Hi, planning to buy MD101, I will most be working on photoshop, playing live/audio production, occasionally render videos, mild gaming-prototype.gta4 types..my question is mac or windows? my budget stops at MD101 and no further :/
Hey thanks for the reply
its not like i must...but i do prefer apple for build quality and the way the os uses the hardware..
Priority of the laptop will be:
1- Going live with it, using softwares like ableton like or garageband to trigger samples and ambient patches with MIDI keyboard.
2- Designing on photoshop
3 - Occasional video rendering mostly non hd but good quality like youtube 720p
4 - Gaming when i am bored - I am not at all into gaming but i would surely love to play some
But i want something that will be durable/storngly built and its hardware/processor good enough to run for 3-4 years.
Now if a laptop then which one?
Thank you -
I have the system "windows 8.1". When I try to install Photoshop Elements 9 I became the error Message; Photoshop can't be install, I need the Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. The setup will be closed.
There is a problem with IE10+ in that it is mistakenly seen as being IE1. To get around this either use a different browser or use compatibility view (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-10)

can't reload Photoshop elements 7 on my windows 7 operating system. Everything goes well and it appears to be installing. All of the sudden the Installer starts to roll back everything and error message shows up saying I can't use this product at this time.
How do I do that? I'm the only user on the laptop - I kind of assumed I already was running the install as the admin.
