Photoshop CS2 brushes looking scratchy?

I have had this problem in CS2 and Elements 8. Out of nowhere, my brushes start looking scratchy. This isn't like the common "pixelated brush" error, where it switches between brush and pencil, this is something different. I'm extraordinarily frustrated with this. Thanks for your help.
Here's a picture of how the brushes look (view the full image and look around the edges of the strokes):

Usual first question is are you using the Pencil tool and not the brush, but you can't have soft pencil strokes, so I don't think that is it.  Nor does it look like spacing, because that would produce bumpy strokes.  In fact it looks like you have a small Chalk brush tip, but with size and angle jitter set.
Try resetting brushes, (I'm guessing that was the first thing you tried).  Then try resetting Preferences.
If still having problems, have a good look at the Brush Presets panel. Pay particular attention to the Shape Dynamics, and Scattering options.
Another thought, what is is the brush blend mode set to?  Dissolve might give those results.  I used the Dissolve mode to produce this Photoshop visual gag some years ago:

  • Looking for a Tutor to teach me Photoshop CS2

    I am looking for someone who can spend from 1-3 hours, in 30 minute to 1 hr intervals, teaching me some key areas of Photoshop CS2. The person needs to be in th4e United States and speak english fluently without a heavy foreign accent. I am looking for step by step, live tutoring over the phone. I have tried to use the photoshop training materials but I still don't "get" it. At a minimum, I want to learn, in detail, the following:
    -learn how to extract objects from images
    -learn how to change a certain color in an image to another color
    -understand layers and how to break an image down into layers
    -learn how to create masks and work with layers.
    I will pay by the hour - hoping to get someone around 30.00/hr.
    thanks
    Patrick

    no so much a dig at the OP as just an observation. it totally confounds me why someone would pay for what they already have. learn the terminology and what the app is capable of first by reading the manual (ANY manual, this doesn't just apply to learning photoshop), then when you can speak the lingo, you can really get your $20/hr worth of instruction because you'll be better equipped to ask relevant questions.
    the axiom: there's no such thing as a stupid question applies only as far as you're not paying for answers.

  • (Photoshop CS2) It crashes every time I use my brush tool for a long time. Help?

    Hi,
    I have recently been having some trouble with my photoshop cs2 (it isn't my computer because it is easily quicker them the majority of computer I have been on and it's only a recent problem). I can use all my tools very easily without having any little pauses and it wont crash, but with my brush tool, after using the brush for a long stroke without unclicking it crashes. Well, it pauses for 2 mins- 4 hours (wont let me click on another tool or carry on drawing or select layers and such). Since I am an artist and work on photoshop for a living , not being able to use the brush tool is a huge problem for me. I have no intension of updating my software to cs3/4/5, (as I don't want to pay for all that software and then find that it crashes again). I recently got my new bamboo graphics tablet and it is even slower when using that. This is also a very recent problem so I was wondering if anyone else had had this before and found a way around it?
    Thanks!,

    I actually believe there are updates for Photoshop itself, not through Mac Software Update.  You should check if there are any updates for the product on this website.  Photoshop also tends to glitch sometimes.  For example, on PSCS4 for Mac, after opening the program, and changing the toolbar to the traditional 2-column style, the quck mask button is totally cut off unless I switch it to the 2-column style twice.

  • I am looking for a free downloaod for photoshop cs2.  can anyone help me?

    I am looking for a free downloaod for photoshop cs2.  can anyone help me?  I had downloaded it previously and then I had my computer cleaned up and it was taken off.  Now, when I go to open it, it wants the license number.  Where can I find that as I know that I had downloaded it before.  The one website that has it for free must have a virus in it and my AVG will not allow it to download.  I am lost and need it really fast!  Please help me!

  • Where can I modify my custom brushes in Photoshop CS2?

    HI all,
    So I'm trying to make a custom brush. I have my brush defined from a Photoshop document. But I cannot find the settings for that brush. How can I adjust the scatter and spacing? Am I missing a menu or Settings pane?
    by the way, I'm running Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Windows 7 Professional.

  • Photoshop CS2 issues & Customer Relation's solution

    i bought a g5 quad in June 06 that failed in july 06. they were unable to resolve the issue and gave me a replacement machine.
    i was given a mac pro with 4GB of RAM and a terabyte of internal storage. the 2 oem 500GB Seagate 7200.10 hard drives took over 9+ hours to zero out: the apple store genius told me this was normal. i have since purchased 2 different hard drives. one of the same capacity which zero's out in under 2 hours. that number IS normal.
    Adobe Photoshop CS2 Bridge and Camera RAW have never worked properly on this machine since i got it, quitting all the time when renaming files or browsing my hard drive folders in Bridge. i was told that this is normal and that CS3 and Leopard will fix all this. then the CS3 Beta came out and the machine quits even with the new version.
    i contacted Adobe, they say it is my hardware. i went to the apple store and showed them the problem and was able to duplicate it on every mac pro in their store and they said it must be a software issue.
    i bought more RAM from apple. the machine works somewhat better now, but it still crashes in photoshop and adobe camera raw and bridge. i purchased lightroom and have looked at changing my workflow, and this program too quits intermittently.
    i called apple customer support again. they walked me through using a different user account. same issues. i asked to speak to customer relations. i got on the phone with the lady, and i asked if it was possible to send someone out to look at the machine since it is not working properly, and she said that it is not something they would do since it is not their problem. i asked if they would be able to help me decipher the crash logs so i can find out WHY the machine is crashing.
    her exact words were, "well, maybe you can sell it? if it is giving you all these problems and since it is not our hardware, it might be best for you to sell it and buy something that works."
    "sell it." i would like to say that "sell it" was not the answer i was looking for. i wasn't even mean to her. i was extremely polite and i got, "sell it" from customer relations. i hope none of you get "sell it"
    good luck to all of you.

    You use to use Windows but decided to move to Macs at some point, and not look or go back. And that the Quad G5 worked up until some point.
    When I got my Mac Pro back in late August/early Sept, I ran into some oddities that no one could help me with. Drivers from Lexmark for their laser printers. Suffice to say that I spent weeks if not month trying to track down why etc. and doing the "clean install" but ended up with the original install disk image.
    I'm always afraid if I am forced to install any drivers for now as a result.
    I updated SoftRAID (I thought) and ran into every driver and extension conflict possible, known and unknown.
    Clean install and avoided anything I could "live without" this time around, and it was stable. For a few days, any and every - and I mean absolutely anything I tried to launch, run or whatnot would CRASH.
    I was ready to point fingers. But at whom? ah! must be the Ramjet. Passes all tests, but there must be a gremlin and nothing is good enough to find the cause.
    System is now rock solid and stable.
    I don't know really what or why. And whether it was SMC reset (I wish they would paint the button in RED!) or zapping PRAM/NVRAM.
    I also installed Vista to see if it was OS X or hardware or not. But I never learned what is needed to really use and secure a Windows system - or troubleshoot it if it goes haywire. But you would.
    I have spent 40+ yrs tinkering with computers, and 20 with Macs. I think I still remember some of the troubleshooting days from 1990 hunting down shareware bugs.
    If it is hardware, it would fail running XP too, maybe? did you retain your license for and copies of Windows and CS2 or whatever you would use? (The Mac Pro really shines running Windows Vista from what I've seen).
    It doesn't take a lot to turn a Mac into a crash-prone system. There are some bugs even with the OS update installer itself it seems.
    Troubleshooting is as much art as science. Hunches based on what feels wrong with some sweat and guesses backed by some "CSI" sleuthing and detective work.
    Only Apple or Intel would know if they have had to come out with re-designed chips, a newer motherboard, or cpus. Or the AMB used on the Risers.
    As I said (5 pages ago?) a friend had a G5 Quad that would not run CS2 properly, was crashing etc. (and had on-site Care etc) and the latest logicboard (3rd) stopped the problems, CS2 runs faster and better, it doesn't crash, and the benchmarks show it.
    There are revisions to logic-boards. I read it takes 3-6 months to get a pattern of a problem, and another 3-6 months to redesign parts, manufacturing, testing, between engineering prototypes and manufacturing.
    I thought the whole idea of AppleCare was sort of the "care" in AppleCare. And to solve a problem.
    It would take someone with access to what engineering errata is going on. What changes were made to G5s. There were other problems with Quad it seems as well, heat, the liquid cooling components (there are two varieties).
    I don't have the stomach or temper to deal with customer service, phones, etc. But I would make an appointment (yes, again!). I don't know what terms there are for small business or customers to get premium care, probably not good.
    We had a mainframe with a bad memory card or bank. We thought. We also swapped out every part trying to get it fixed. We even had to keep the room temp colder and controlled humidity. A new system for us would have been lower maintenance, lower energy bill, less strain on a/c even. And smaller (so we didn't need to use as much floor space). But government can be "penny wise and pound foolish" in such matters.
    I know you are just getting familiar with things like "Onyx" and "Disk Warrior" and such. Those can be helpful.
    Crashing does tend to lead to more crashes. Mac OS X is not immune to side effects of what they can do. And usually you want to finish a project, not get sidelined.
    I wish you had a G5 Quad in there. Two systems. Maybe two G5s even if you have the work or so you can be running CS2 on one and CS3 on another. Or have a techie "gearhead" come in and test and insure that your systems are in working order. Something.
    It ain't normal. And it should get more than a "brush off."

  • PhotoShop CS2 Bridge caused strange loss of desktop visibility/memory ??

    I have a G5 (Duel) running Tiger 10.4.6. Just lately the Bridge in Photoshop CS2 has not been working too well - it became very slow and sometimes didn't "see" my images. Yesterday I could get it to find my image folders at all. Then all my desktop started to look weird - even when I wasn't using the Bridge. So I closed all the applications and restarted the computer. To my horror all my desktop and preferences (dock, safari, desktop picture, folders etc.) had been lost. At first I thought I had somehow lost all my image folders but using spotlight I found them all there - distribted in places I had never put them. I sorted everything out again and re-did all my customised stuff but it was scary! At no time did the computer give me any warning of any trouble. It did not crash or anything. I was running QuarkXpress 5 (classic 9) as well and had a Skype window open (although I wasn't using it to talk at the time) Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this happened - has it happened to anyone else ? Thanks for any help.. Diana

    I think the issue is that your output of lspci shows no Audio device. Perhaps it got disabled in the BIOS? dmesg output may indicate something else afoot with your audio hardware.
    Hope that helps.
    I'll check out dmesg output.  also still need to check if something got disabled in the BIOS.
    !snd_intel8x0m  <- is your problem. Your sound module got blacklisted so un-list it. Modprobe it then try sound again or just reboot and it should work.
    moonswan.  snd_intel8x0 is the sound card (I think), in the alsa wiki it said it was recommended to blacklist snd_intel8x0m as a quirk fix. 
    No sound with or without it blacklisted still :-(

  • Installing photoshop cs2 onto macbook pro

    I had the old version of photoshop cs2. I want to put it on my new macbook pro. I was given the link http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html". I have downloaded it but when I try to install the message says 'Installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance'.

    Looks like you're looking at buying a full version of CS6 or subscribing to the cloud.  :-/

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 Install

    I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS2, I know it is an old version, but I am unable to upgrade at this time.  However, I have the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS2, and when I run the install it states that it is looking for a previous version of Photoshop.  I have verified that this is not an upgrade only cd.  Please advise.

    Thanks for trying to help out guys but after hours of toying with this thing it finally hit me like a brick wall.  I found a work around.
    For anyone that may run into this issue in the future:
    When you run the Adobe Photoshop CS2 install and it will not let you install due to looking for previous versions
    Install Adoby Photoshop CS2 as the 30 day trial, which will install without any issues.
    After the installation is completed then ender the serial number manually after that.
    Not sure why it has to be a PITA about it, but it works.

  • Unable to see DNG files in Photoshop CS2

    Hi:
    I am using Photoshop CS2 in Windows XP Pro and have *.CR2 pictures taken with Canon EOS 40D.
    I downloaded Camera_Raw_3.7.zip and extracted Camera Raw.8bi to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats
    I downloaded Adobe DNG Converter ver. 4.3.1 and converted the Canon CR2 files to DNG files.
    I can see the pictures in Adobe Bridge CS2 1.0.4.6 fine.
    However, when I open Adobe Photoshop CS2 and try File/open, the drop down does not show any selection for DNG files. If I try to physically drag a file into Photoshop, I get the message that the extension is not supported.
    Upon opening Help/About Plug-In, I do not see Camera raw anywhere in the long list.
    What do I need to do to bring DNG files into Photoshop?
    Thanks.

    If you don't see Camera Raw in the list it usually means that it is not in the correct folder or the it might be damaged.
    It looks like you listed the correct folder at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats
    When you navigate to that folder do you see Camera Raw.8bi listed? It might only say Camera Raw, depending on how you have Windows set up.
    Did you restart Photoshop after putting the filter into the File Formats folder?

  • Photoshop CS2 obsolete with an Olympus E-3

    I just received my new Olympus E-3 this week and it is a very impressive professional DSLR camera. I have to say that I am exceedingly disappointed with Adobe right now as it looks like they are no longer supporting Photoshop CS2 even though it is only one revision old. With the latest updates I can use their digital negative converter (which I wish more camera manufacturers would support) and my Photoshop Elements 5.0, including Camera RAW, works with the E-3 ORF/RAW files. Photoshop CS2 apparently has no plug-in for it, the latest Camera RAW doesn't work in it or in Bridge, and it no longer accepts new .dng files sent to it from PSE5. It is now largely useless to me as I can't used it until the photos are degraded .jpg's.
    I am on Vista, so is their anything I need to do, or is my analysis above correct? CS-2 over CS had enough to make me upgrade, CS-3 over CS-2 didn't.

    Nobody likes the fact that to get the latest raw support for the latest
    camera (without hoop jumping) you have to upgrade Photoshop. Most of don't
    think it is fair. However, there are some things to keep in mind.
    1. Each new major release of Photoshop brings massive updates to ACR. These
    updates would not be an easy or really cost effective thing to do for older
    versions of ACR.
    2. It is very likely that updates to ACR are not solely in ACR itself. I
    would imagine that some changes have to be made to Photoshop to. This means
    they couldn't update ACR to work with CS2 because CS2 is lacking things that
    would be needed. Things that are only in CS3.
    3. Even if Adobe charged $19.95 for the ACR upgrade for Photoshop CS2 if
    they couldn't bring it inline with CS3's ACR but only could add support for
    new cameras people would still complain.
    4. There is a work around, download the latest DNG converter program, it is
    free and convert your raw images to DNG. This is in my book a good thing
    anyways. Just as soon as DNG becomes and ISO standard it will be the safest
    raw format available. In other words it will be the most future proof raw
    format we will have. Once your files are converted to DNG you can then load
    them in to the ACR that comes with CS2.
    Myself, I think the mistake Adobe made was not making the camera support a
    plug-in for ACR. By doing this they could have simply updated ACR as they
    wished giving you the new version with each new version of Photoshop, but
    allowed people with the old versions to use new cameras because you would
    only have to download new profile plug-ins for new cameras. I don't see new
    cameras as being a major reason to upgrade ACR. I see the new features and
    improvements made to each new version of ACR more of an upgrade draw than
    new camera support. I think Adobe would have lost very little income by
    designing ACR to support new cameras by doing plug-ins. I would still have
    upgraded from CS2 to CS3.
    Of course there is also the new upgrade policy. Photoshop 7 is the oldest
    version you can now use to upgrade to Photoshop CS3. If you have a version
    older than 7 you have to buy the full Photoshop package, you can't upgrade.
    When Photoshop CS4 comes out then CS1 will be the oldest version you can use
    to upgrade. So sooner rather than later unless you like to buy full packages
    instead of upgrades one is going to have to upgrade anyways.
    Myself I would use the DNG converter now and then upgrade Photoshop when CS4
    comes out. I figure CS4 is less than a year away.

  • Photoshop CS2 in Mac Snow Leopard: faint, pale colours when printed

    I used to use Photoshop CS on my old PPC eMac with OS 10.4.11 (Tiger), and printed succesfully on good quality glossy photo paper using an Epson Stylus Photo R340 printer. I have now upgraded to an Intel Mac mini with OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). I am afraid I cannot afford to buy the latest version of Photoshop, so I have installed Parallels Desktop and, within it, Snow Leopard Server, so that I can run Photoshop CS2.
    I have now got the correct driver for my printer and all the printer and paper profiles. Using exactly the same profile and other settings that I used to use with Photoshop CS on my old computer, when I printed a TIFF image, the results were a print with extremely pale, washed-out colours. When I used the 'Preview' feature of the printer software, the colours looked good, but when I printed they were hopeless.
    I don't think it is the printer. If I set the Photoshop output to let the printer determine colours, I get quite good results. But when I switch to letting Photoshop determine colours, I get these impossibly pale colours. I have checked through all the preference settings of Photoshop CS2 and cannot find anything that might account for this misbehaviour. I should be most grateful for any help or advice.

    Since posting the above, I have made a discovery. I looked up the system requirements of different versions of Photoshop. Here is the relevant part of Adobe's list:
    This suggests that CS2 will not run in Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)! But it also suggests that CS will not run in Tiger (10.4), and I used CS succesfully for years in Tiger on my old PPC computer. So what does all this mean? Are these minimum requirements? In that case where can I find the upper limits? Is CS2 supposed to run properly in Snow Leopard?

  • Photoshop CS2 redraw garbage when moving around an image window on my G4 laptop

    Hi.I recently had to reinstall Photoshop CS2 onto my Mac Laptop 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, running system 10.4.11, which required a new hard drive after the old one died. I am immediatly encountering a serious redraw/image repositioning problem in Photoshop that I have never seen before, and in Imageready as well. This does not happen in Macromedia Fireworks 8 however.
    I am zoomed into an image. Using the hand tool, or the scroll bars or the arrows, as soon as I move an image little messed up line graphic glitches appear and stay in place for the remainder or working with an image, and ultimately covers the image completely after moving around within it a number of times. you can see examples of this in these screenshots I've uploaded:
    http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage04.gif
    http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage03.gif
    http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage02.gif
    and the lines stay the same size and position even when zooming in. here's the same image w/ the same defects zoomed out and in:
    http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage01.gif
    http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage01_zoomed.gif
    I've tried trashing & re-installing photoshop completely, tried running it before the updates needed from the original Photoshop application disk, and after. still the same problem.
    This occurs only when using the laptop on its own. When I hook it up to my Apple Studio Cinema Display, it works fine. The problem does not occur on the Cinema Display OR the laptop screen! it's very odd. Basically, the laptop is now something I cannot actually use away from my desk until this is resolved.
    Has anyone ever encountered this or possibly have any suggestions or advice? Thanks so much!

    Hi. Thanks for your responses. There is definitely some incorrectness in the info I provided about the computer. for the Hard Drive, it's odd.. I copied and pasted that from my system profiler.. In actuality the Hard Drive is 74.53 GB. Not sure how that error occurred.
    Also I looked again at the computer's memory. I forgot the second larger 1GB memory card when I was copying and pasting from the system profiler. Sorry about that. I was in a but of a rush to get the question out.

    Another thing I noticed about the problem I'm facing is that it leaves defects from mouse trails as well in the image window. None of the defects are lasting nor will they print. I close the file and they go away, if I zoom, they stay the same size. I'd agree, it sounds like a video card problem, but the reason I posted here is that only in photoshop and imageready do these problems occur. My guess, if it's the video card is that they are just programs that require more of the system. why my video card would be crapping out now, I have no idea. but I guess that's how it goes.
    But why would it work fine when hooked up to the apple cinema display? even on the laptop screen itself the problem is not present. only when the laptop is on its own.
    The computer has served me very well for almost 3 years without this problem, so that's why it's something that is not a normal problem that should be expected from this computer. I am grateful to have it & can't afford a new one.. this one is still sitting on my credit card balance. Thankfully I am under the applecare protection plan and will bring it in to the local Mac shop on monday and demonstrate the issue to them.
    Thanks for your replies.
