Photoshop CC2014 freezes randomly when I use the type tool.

It kept happening when I was cutting type from Word and pasting it into PS. When I put the cursor in the type area PS froze and I had to quit the program. So I started a fresh PS file and that worked for about 10 documents. I was able to place and edit type just fine.
But, the same freeze just happened again. Any advice?
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014, the latest version on Windows 7 Professional.

    Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

  • Photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

    photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point.  i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • Photoshop crashes when I use the marquis tool.

    Photoshop crashes when I use the marquee tool. As soon as I make a selection it crashes my computer (every time!) by either rendering the screen black or sometimes all white. I have to force shut down and restart. I'm using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS6. I am not in a position to update OS at this time. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem? It's extremely time-consuming and infuriating.
    Here's the crash report, if anyone is able to make sense of this, I'd sure appreciate knowing what the problem is.

    That is not an application crash - that is a kernel panic, which means there is a hardware defect, a bug in the OS or a bug in a low level driver (like parts of the video driver).  Kernel panics are not caused by applications, but by defective hardware or bugs in the OS and drivers.
    Resetting prefs may avoid the settings that triggered the crash - but the cause remains in the hardware, OS, or driver code.
    Since Apple is not going to update the drivers in 10.6.8, your best bet is to update the OS when you can, and hope the new drivers are in better shape.  Unfortunately, it is also possible that you just have a bad GPU or video RAM - and fixing that would require replacing the video card or system (in the case of laptops or all-in-one machines).

  • Why is my adobe photoshop trying to crash when i use the puppet warp tool?

    Every time i go to use the puppet warp tool i need to finish my assignment, photoshop says it is trying to fix the problem and then says it cant fix it and shuts the whole program down. And would like to know why is my adobe photoshop trying to crash when i use the puppet warp tool?

    You'll need to give us more information. What OS, what Photoshop version, how much RAM, what is your video card, and what are your performance preferences, etc., etc. -- ??

    I have the Photoshop Elements 11 and when I use the stamp effect the image becomes totally black. It used to have my line drawing in white, now, just a black image. I need the stamp effect. also, most other effects simply crash the program.

    Which operating system are you using?
    Some filters like Filter>Sketch>Stamp need to have two different colors for the Foreground and Background set in the toolbox.
    Press the D key to set the default toolbox color swatches to Black and White and then try the Stamp filter.
    If your using mac os x 10.9 or 10.10, then some of the filters under Filter>Sketch will crash pse 11
    They are Filter>Sketch>Comic, Graphic Novel and Pen and Ink
    Otherwise resetting the pse11 editor preferences might resolve the crashing.
    Go to Photoshop Elements Editor(Edit)>General, click on Reset Preferences on Next Launch and then restart the pse 11 editor
