Photoshop CS5.1 Hand Tool Not Working.

My hand tool quit working. I looked in the forums. I've closed all browsers, restarted, rebooted, and removed the prefs.psp file. Not sure what to do now?

Thanks but no. It's not the spacebar. The handtool works fine in Illustrator

  • Photoshop CS5 rotate tool not working.

    I've just installed photoshop cs5 on a new matchbook pro, and I cannot use the rotate tool. When I try a window opens saying "Could not complete your request because it only works with OpenGL enabled document windows".

    I already checked that, nothing in the graphics processor box is selectable. I can't think of why I would have this problem... I was using a cs6 trial and the rotate tool worked fine.

  • Photoshop CS5 Move Tool Not Working?

    Please help. I am using Photoshop CS5 and my Move tool is not working. I just don't know what to do. I am making photobooks with a software plug-in, "Album DS", and for the last couple of months everything worked perfectly. Then, all of sudden, when I load up photos onto an album page, with the Move tool, I no longer get the crop markings around the photos to enlarge, decrease, or even move the photos. I have tried using the Move tool without the software and it still does not work.

    I just figured this out 5 minutes ago, by mistake I might add.  How in the world did you know this? Thanks.

  • Mouse drag, hand tool not working at all!

    So I've installed Photoshop CC 2014 and Illustrator CC 2014 on my computer, started a new file but only found that any action that includes mouse dragging - creating shapes, hand tool, pen tool - do not work at all, everything just do not respond, when creating a shape it will treat it as if I have clicked once (which pops out the create rectangle window for size input..), the same situation happens to Photoshop as well (perhaps all Adobe CC software). I've been trying everything that have been suggested on the forum (some from the links below): removing all other software at the background (spotify, 1password, etc). Also I've tried with using different sets of keyboard and mouse, either wired and wireless, still no luck. One situation that finally works is that all software work perfectly fine in safe mode, then I rebooted back to normal mode, try killing any background process that was not running in safe mode, still...not working at all...

  • Momentary Hand Tool Not Working

    I can select the hand tool from the tool bar or pressing H and can pan around the preview window. But I cannot get the momentary hand tool to work on this new laptop. With the Selection Tool activated, when I press the Space Bar, I get the hand icon, but pressing the left mouse key and dragging does nothing. It is driving me crazy.

    THANK YOU JAMES!
    I have been dealing with this issue for months!
    Having to go and grab the hand tool from the box was a major pain in the @$$!
    I thought is was a windows 7 issue.
    I did what you said , and the hand tool is working again! woo hoo!

  • Spacebar shortcut for hand tool not working in Photoshop CC - have tried closing all other programs

    The spacebar shortcut for hand tool is not working in Photoshop CC - as suggested in this form & others I have tried closing all other programs with no result. I have also reset photoshop to default settings & this did not make any difference either.

    There may be a software conflict. I went through this today. When I did a search in Adobe foruns actually found tha answer on the Illustrator forum:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1027227?
    What the problem for me was an app called - 1Password.  I had opened it, but not given my password to login and it was on in the background. As soon as I quit 1Password, the spacebar Hand Tool worked.
    Then I opened 1Password again, and logged in. This time the spacebar works.
    Others mentioned conflict with Spotify. And Chrome too. Couple other things. Read that thread in the link above.
    Good luck!

  • Spacebar quick key for Hand tool not working.

    I have a brand new imac intel i7  27" and have installed photoshop cs5, but the spacebar hand tool is not  working. any ideas?
    the hand tool and all other tools work, just the shortcut  key of holding the spacebar doesn't work.
    Thanks,

    I found that when I quit Firefox the spacebar works again as a shortcut for the hand tool. However as soon as I sign in to my gmail account it stops working. This is so frustrating! Will there be a fix for this sometime in the near future?

    It's not specifically the browsers, methinks.
    I was running Chrome side by side with Photoshop CS5 and it worked fine until I used the Anesidora extension on my chrome. I disabled it and turned Chrome back on and my spacebar shortcut came back!

  • Space bar hand tool not working

    I have just got a Laptop with windows 8, and put my Photoshop CS5 on, so far eveything works appart from the space bar hand tool, which I use a lot.
    Its not working in RAW either.
    Thanks

    Hello Cozmic photos!
    I was also having this problem but I have found the soloution! It took me a very long time to figure it out but I finally have. I also have windows 8 and I have updated to windows 8.1 . As soon as I did that update I had to "re-install" my touchpad synaptics driver... I thought little of this. It just hit me aobut a week ago why the spacebar hand tool shortcut wasn't working. I have a Acer laptop, 64Bit, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, and running Windows 8.1. 
    So, the that the spacebar is not working IS because the driver that is installed for your touchpad or trakpad is disabling some features for use of the spacebar and your finger movemnet on the trackpad at the same time. Sadly, there is no way to fix this problem YET. But, if you use a mouse or a graphics tablet you will be able to get this feature back!
    I hope you understand the problem now. The only way to ix this is by notifying Synaptics about this issue and the next updated driver will have this issue fixed!
    Have a good day!

  • Spacebar hand tool not working

    my spacebar hand tool is not working (the shortcut key of holding the spacebar)

    Hit he space bar repeatedly.  If that doesn't do it, quit Photoshop, then hold down the Command+Option+Shift keys as you re-launch Photoshop and keep them down until you see the dialog box that allows you to delete, trash or reset your Photoshop preferences.

  • Photoshop CS5 "Help" function not working - Adobe Air error message?

    Installed Photoshop CS5, and thought everything was working okay, but when I click on Photoshop Help, I get the error message "Adobe Air - This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing......" I have re-installed first Adobe Air, same problem and then uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop CS5, but the problem remains. When I first tried to use the Help function it tried to update something and for some reason this failed. I'm wondering if others have seen the same problem and know of a solution? Thanks, David.

    Hello:  there may be a configuration issue going on here.  I have escalated this issue to our Help app engineering team. In the meanwhile, please try the following:
    Uninstall the Adobe Help application: go to your Application folder > Adobe > Adobe Help (drag it to the Trash)
    Delete the following directory:
    USER NAME (home) > Library > Preferences > chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.
    Empty the Trash
    Manually update the application via this link: http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/
    Select "Photoshop" in Step 1 and then click the Install badge in Step 2.  Make sure to select "Open" (and not Save) in the installation dialog box to fully update the app.
    Note: The previous instructions did not include deleting the old application or its preference file. This will help ensure that it is thoroughly updated.

  • Photoshop CS5 TWAIN plugin not working in 32-bit mode

    I'm having trouble scanning via TWAIN in Photoshop CS5. I'm on an iMac running OSX 10.6.6, My Scanner is an Epson Perfection V350, and after installing the latest driver and an online chat with an Epson rep, they told me to download the latest Photoshop TWAIN plugin from the Adobe site, then run Photoshop in 32-bit mode.
    I tried that and the option to scan finally appeared in the import menu and the Epson Scan interface appeared. However, upon trying to preview or scan, the whole lot crashes.
    The Epson Scan program works as a standalone app, so the problem clearly lies within Photoshop. However I want to scan in Photoshop, not the clunky standalone app!
    Is there anything else to try?

    I would say it's more likely that there is a problem with CS5 and/or the new TWAIN plugin.
    Epson claim that since their application works standalone, than it's not at fault.
    Photoshop CS4 worked fine - I could scan via TWAIN perfectly. I've since removed the CS4 apps. And of course CS5 no longer supports it in the same way. Following Adobe's OWN recommendations of installing the TWAIN plug-in and running PS in 32-bit only led to complete software crashes.
    Of course I can scan in Epson Scan on it's own, but after 15 years of happily scanning via TWAIN in Photoshop, I don't see why I should change my way of working to something that would be less convenient.
    On another post I read something about having the correct TWAIN plugin - I could only find one for CS5 on the downloads page, so I assume I got the right one.

  • Photoshop CS5 for Windows not working on dual monitor setup

    If I try to open Photoshop CS5 while my second monitor is plugged into my laptop (via VGA cable), it loads normally, but won't display any opened images. I get a gray background and nothing else. (see screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/f1bHcM3E )
    (I can even see the tiny image preview in the navigator, but not the image itself.)
    However, t'll work just fine if I open Photoshop with the second monitor disconnected and THEN plug it in, so it's not a problem with the dual monitors in general...just when first opening it. It's annoying because, if I'm working on a project and realize I have to make a quick image tweak in Photoshop, I have to unplug the monitor and then rearrange all my windows after Photoshop's done loading and I can plug it back in.
    Does anyone have any idea what's up with this? I can't seem to find any information online that specifically mentions this issue. For reference, I'm using Windows 7 on a Lenovo laptop.
    Thanks!

    Oh, that's possible. I went and read the detailed specs for my computer and it seems like it has both Intel and NVIDIA. Could that be it? (Computer hardware issues are not my area of expertise.)

  • Photoshop CC (2015) tools not working

    I updated my CC apps yesterday and today tools in Photoshop are not working.  Clone stamp and healing brush allow you to sample but effects are not applied.  When trying to use the quick selection tool the selection s cleared after a few seconds.

    I'd say things sound desperate enough to try resetting Preferences
    Reset Preferences
    Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
    Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop
    If that fails, we need to know your operating system?
    Do you have a full CC subscription, or by apps do you mean Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom?
    Another other information that might pertain ?
