Photoshop CS5 Dual brushes

It seems that Photoshop CS5 doesn't display the dual brush that is selected when you select a brush from the libraries. It indicates there should be a dual brush by a tick but no brush tip is selected.
Am I missing something or is this just a bug that needs sorting out still?
Thanks

SSprengel's right.
What kind of video card do you have?  It's always a good idea to check the web site of the maker of your video card to see if they have released updated drivers.
I run Photoshop CS5 across two 1600 x 1200 monitors, by the way, without problems.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 brush scroll panel issue

    Hello everyone,
    Since last week I've been getting problems with photoshop. The brush panel has problems with scrolling, I have tried to fix it by doing a system restore, downgrading my video drivers and reinstalling photoshop. I also have tried to search for other people with the same problems. Unfortunatly, nobody seems to deal with this issue. I am suspecting that it is a problem within windows that is preventing photoshop from working normally... But I am not sure.
    I also recorded the problem and posted it on youtube, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9LZgYjDGAI
    Now, onto discribing the problem:
    When I open photoshop this problem occurs right away, however... one panel always will work properly, this tends to switch constantly... When I try to switch between the two panels they start showing problems...
    It happens every time that I open photoshop, but there are times where somehow, they work normally. It is very rare though.
    I also tried to try and use Photoshop CS5 x64bit, but it crashes the moment it finishes loading.
    I am using an:  ASUS K73SV-TY081V notebook
    OS:                     64-bit Windows 7 home premium
    Processor:           Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz
    RAM:                   4 GB
    Graphics Card:     Nvidia Geforce GT 540M
    Is there anybody who deals or has dealt with the same or similar problems?

    Hello Noel,
    Thank you for the help, It gave me an idea of how I could test it, so I switched the graphics to my omboard card and photoshop works fine now.
    It is indeed the drivers of the Nvidia card, I tested the last two driver up-dates which didn't seem to work so I will keep looking. 
    Thank you again for the help!

  • Photoshop CS5.5 Brush Transfer / Opacity won't Disable

    Now, I assure you, I have tried to disable this feature several times in a row, but as soon as I change the Opacity Jitter to "Off" and start painting, it turns on again.  I tried unchecking "Transfer" all together without any luck.  Even the brush preview on the pallet show opacity linked to pressure.  Attached is a picture of my pallet.
    How do I fix this?  Can I submit this as a bug?
    Stats:
    Photoshop CS5.5 v12.1 x64 , Windows 7 x64, Cintiq 21UX  with 6.1.6-7 driver.

    Make sure you don't have The override for brush opacity enabled in the tool options bar.

  • Photoshop CS5 strange brush jumping bug

    Strange brush bug with Photoshop CS5 Extended English (Updated to 12.0.2 latest).
    Youtube link of my screen recording
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxwUi35TMYo
    When  I first start (quick) brushing on top right, the strokes appear at bottom  right.... No shape dynamics, no scattering, just plain soft round brush  in black. If I stroke slowly, the behavior is OK.
    This is very frustrating and appears very often for me if stroke quickly, so I can't use smudge which is often done quickly.
    Windows 7 (Simplified Chinese). Nvidia GTS 450 but OpenGL has been disabled. Graphic driver updated to latest. No brush scattering, no shape dynamics.
    Please help, thanks in advance.

    This subject shows up here from time to time.
    Unfortunately, I don't recall reading about any specific fix that works.
    Usually the advice is update video drivers, check all other software running on the system for possible interference, change wireless mouse batteries, try a wired mouse, completely remove mouse or tablet drivers and reinstall, make sure nothing is moving over an unused trackpad, etc.
    Perhaps it would help if you listed your OS and what input device you're using.

  • Photoshop CS5 & Dual Monitors

    I have Design Premium incl. Photoshop CS5.  Recently I was lucky enough to get a second monitor (sweet) HOWEVER I am having serious issues with Photoshop working.  If I drag the whole program or just a new window with an image, (just) the image is black!  I can keep the image on my main monitor and use the tools from the second but absoultely no images on the second?????  This does not occur with Illustrator or any other program (Adobe or otherwise).  I've Googled it until I'm sick and can't find anyone else having this issue or how to repair it.  I am running Windows XP and both monitors are 1280 x 1024.

    Hi! I've a problem with the erase pencil in CS5.
    The same thing happens with the brushes....:

  • Clicking on Photoshop CS5 preset brushes closes down Photoshop. Help!

    Whilst I am working in Photoshop, if I click on the preset brushes toggle or open the brushes and click on one of the preset brushes a message appears saying that there has been a problem with Photoshop and very promptly the application closes causing me to loose my work. Is this happening to anyone else? Is there an update or a 'bug-zapper' (my own technical term!) I can use?!  Thanks for your help.

    Update your graphics driver and/or turn off OpenGl in the prefs.

  • HELP!! Photoshop CS5.1 Brush lag?!

    Okay, I have been doing every fix I can possibly come across concerning this horrid lag...Whenever making long strokes with ANY textured brushes (where the "Textures" feature is in use via Brush Presets), I get a horrible, horrible lag when making long brush strokes...Any other brush is fine, as long as its not textured. I have turned off OpenGL, have updated PS to 12.1, using two scratch disks, etc etc. My computer is pretty beastly as I built it for high performance gaming (8 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate, SSD/HDD combo, Nvidia Geforce 560 TI, etc) so I am at a loss as to why I am experiencing this issue... I even tried rolling back my Wacom driver, but then I realized this doesn't matter since the lag still occurs when using a mouse as well. I could obviously un-tick the Textured feature, but that's not what I'm going for...Strangely enough, I never experienced this problem when I was working on CS5 on a Vista computer with much less fancy parts in it. Could it be an issue with Windows 7 or CS5.1...? If anyone was able to resolve this issue, please respond, it's very maddening to work this way...

    Thank you so much for the response and that link...I did a few of the tests and found that the laggy brushes happen to only lag under certain circumstances. Such as, they only lag extremely at large canvas dimensions/resolutions, and if the texture being used is very "fine" and at a low scale. I don't know why I didn't think of that...seemed too simple a conclusion I suppose.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Brushes Window UI Problem

    Im using Vista 64 bit. Photoshop did not open for me, then Windows pops up a window saying it has adjusted my display settings and photoshop should work. So I open photoshop and things look alright but the brushes window UI display is frozen and goes transparent. One of my essential tools. Can you tell me what happend or how to fix this?

    Have you tried the standard troubleshooting steps?  Resetting preferences and troubleshooting the display:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404898.html

  • Dual brush question

    Here's is my problem (CS6). I have created a number of dual brush presets. When I paint in Photoshop, the dual brush portion of the brush ALWAYS randomly rotates. How do I make the second brush (dual checkmark) on my preset NOT rotate when I paint. The original brush tip shape does not rotate. I just want the dual brush portion always be at one angle.
    Thanks!

    I have tried everything you mentioned above but no fix. I tried it both on PC (windows 7) and Mac (10.8.5) platforms and in CS5/CS6. Has anyone else experienced this with dual brush? Does it always randomly rotate?
    I wonder if it is a system limitation. Can someone try this out and let me know if it works on later version of Photoshop?
    I've attached an example of the problem: The brush tip shape is the soft round. The dual brush is the star. As you can see the star rotates randomly. I just want the star to remain at an upright angle (or even at the direction of my pen tilt would be nice). Bottom line is I want to control the angle of the dual brush.

  • Photoshop CS5 opens and says "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working"

    Hey guys.. I hit this problem tonight after trying for several hours to open Adobe PS CS5.
    Photoshop worked earlier today and i have made no changes on my PC since running PS again.
    I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64bit
    I have tried Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ALT to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File with no success.
    I have rebooted my computer several times.
    I have ran as administrator.
    As far as I can tell it has something to do with KERNELBASE.dll 
    You guys are my last chance.. THANK !

  • Photoshop CS5 Bugs on MacBook Air Fixed in Mountain Lion

    Hey all,
    I was pretty frustrated last November when I bought a new Macbook Air and experienced weird behavior in Photoshop CS5. Brushes would stop working. Tool icons would freak out. This was discussed at length on the boards, and Chris from Adobe said everyone at Adobe and Apple were aware of the issue due to video card incompatibilities (?) and Lion.
    Happy to report that all that behavior has dissapeared with Photoshop CS5 running on Mountain Lion (beta v1). It works as it was meant to. Yeah!
    Thought I would report back as all those threads have been locked for awhile.
    Bruce

    Thanks to the USB hub, Now Huawei E303C Datacard is working all fine in my new MacBook Pro 13" i7 Mid 2012 model.
    For experiment purpose, I purchased one USB 2.0 hub (Unknown Chinese model).
    I connected Datacard to USB hub and USB hub to MacBook Pro USB port.
    Hurray!! Datacard is detected by MacBook Pro.
    So, the problem is with MacBook Pro's new USB ports (USB 2.0 and 3.0 integrated in a single port) and Huawei E303C Datacard.
    It is a hardware support issue with Huawei E303C Datacard.
    I hope this will solve your problem too.
    Enjoy

  • Photoshop cs 5 brushes

    hi there
    after a reinstall due to computer mucking up, im having a strange action happen when i save my brushes.
    when ever i save a brush instead of automatcially going to c:/program fils/adobe/photoshop cs5/presets/brushes ( etc...)
    they want to save in
    "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Presets\Brushes"
    wich is NOT the right folder (as their are no brushes there- and if i save them their they dont load in photoshop next time its started) and i have to manualy go to program folder/adobe/ etc etc etc...
    ahhh HELP! why are they saving in the wrong folder and how do i get them to save where they are meant to with out manually entering them

    That is the correct folder for the default, and they will load the next time you launch if you save them there.
    Basically, Microsoft no longer wants files written into the application folder, but wants them under your user data (USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/...), and only wants the applicaiton folder modifiable by the system administrator.
    Yes, it's not very convenient, but that's how the Microsoft guidelines currently read.  (Apple is doing something similar, just without so much useful guidelines)

  • Photoshop CS5 Spot Healing Brush only blurs

    Here's a before and after shot.  I recently upgraded from CS3 and the spot healing brush always worked great. 
    Now when I use it, whether or not I use content aware fill, it leaves a blurred residue of what I was trying to remove. 
    As an aside, the Content Aware Fill leaves a similar residue, enough to make it effectively unusable.
    I have included a sample photo of the spot healing brush problem.  Left side is before and right side is after. 
    I just wanted to get rid of the electrical wall socket.  You can see that it's not working.  I am running windows 8 in a 64-bit environtment and running the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5.5
    Any assitance anyone is able to afford me is greatly appreciated.

    In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with your choice of Spot Healing Brush for this image. I cropped your screenshot to the "BEFORE" image, removed the "BEFORE" type (with the SHB) and scaled to 600% to match your original document.
    A dab of a 0% hardness 500 pixel Spot Healing Brush in Ps CS5.1 on OS X 10.6.8 worked perfectly. However, I would have made a vertical stroke with the brush at about 80% hardness and about 200 pixels, which also works for me.
    Maybe your SHB is working in "Create Texture" mode despite specifying "Proximity Match" in Options bar. Try resetting the SHB by right-clicking its icon at left of Options bar and picking "Reset Tool" from the menu that appears.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 (Windows 7) Lagging Brushes & Tools

    What I'm Using:
    - Toshiba F60 Qosmio Laptop w/ Windows 7
    - Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit)
    Hey Everyone,
    I'm having an issue with my new Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit) installed on my Brand new Laptop (Toshiba F60 Qosmio). Basically I have optimized via the Edit > Preferences > Performance menu in Photoshop CS5 but Im still having major issues with my Brushes, Patch, etc. Tools lagging while using them. When you enable the tool and use it, it will be atleast 0.5 - 1.0 Seconds behind the movement of the cursor. My Laptop is brand new and fully optimized for graphic design and seems to run every other application seamless. Adobe Photoshop launches quick and smoothly but once using the tools it has the same lag time.
    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Its driving me nuts and really cutting into my work schedule.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Darren  

    Hi Chris,
    I will definitely give that a try. I had a tech set up my computer after i purchased it less than a week ago but it is a possibility that he missed it. I will try and run an update this weekend and see if that increases the speed when OpenGL is enabled. I will get back to you on the issue in the next few days.
    Thanks for your insight and helpful suggestion.
    Much appreciated.
    -Darren
