Photoshop CS6 Brush Tool is acting weird.

Hey yall.
I have photoshop cs6 and my brush tool is acting really weird. It's stuck at 100% hardness, and It's not even the normal hardness that the brush does.
I have tried resetting the tools. Even gone as far as uninstalling and reinstalling photoshop. It's still doing it. I have no idea what I can do to fix it. Any idea how?
Here is a screen capture video to show what is going on. If anyone can recognize the problem???? Help please???

Hi,
It looks like you have the Pencil Tool selected instead of the Brush Tool.
Click and hold on the pencil tool icon in the toolbox to see the other hidden tools in that slot.

    PHOTOSHOP CS6 GRANDEZZA PENNELLO
    carissimi chi è che mi risolve il mio problema?
    di solito il mio metodo veloce per diminuire o ingrandire il diametro del pennello ( ad esempio se sto agendo su una maschera di livello) è ctrl+alt e muovo il mouse a destra/sinistra . in altri casi invece agisco direttamente sulla scheda pennello.
    come vedrete dalla foto il range è esponenziale della scala dei pennelli in photoshop CS6 e quindi è ingestibile . lavorando con foto grandi a me interessa soprattutto la parte finale e quindi vorrei che la scala da 0 a 5000 px crescesse in modo omogeneo ( ad esempio dove adesso c'è il 84 px ci fosse 2500 px ) .
    avete qualche soluzione?
    GRAZIEEEEEE

    PHOTOSHOP CS6 BRUSH SIZE
    who is dear to me solve my problem?
    usually my quick way to reduce or enlarge the diameter of the brush (for example, if I am acting on a layer mask) is ctrl + alt and move the mouse to the left / right. in other cases, act directly on the board brush.
    as you will see from the photo is the range of the exponential scale of the brushes in photoshop CS6 and so it is unmanageable. working with large photos interests me especially the last part, and then I would like the scale from 0 to 5000 px grow evenly (for example there is now a 84 px there were 2500 px).
    you have any solution?

  • In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

    In photoshop CS5, Brush tool doesn't work on an adjustment layer

    I Created an adjustment (Curves) layer and did the curves adjustment.  Then I did an Edit Fill (Normal Mode, 100% Opacity and Use: Black).
    I then try to use the brush tool, but it doesn't work.  I've done this hundreds of times before and suddenly it's not working.  Rebooted the system, but that didn't help.
    I know how to do a screen shot, but it doesn't paste onto this screen.  How do I get that to you?
    thanks for your help

  • Adobe Flash CS6 Brush Tool Not Smooth

    On my Flash CS6, my brush tool has been difficult lately. When I use my Wacom pen tablet and even my mouse, the strokes I draw "correct" too much and it causes an uneven flow. I have the pressure option on, and I draw with the pressure I want it still causes an the uneven flow, especially when I draw curves.
    Even when I turn the pressure option off, it still does the same thing: too much "correction", even when the smoothing isn't even that high.
    This person's Youtube videos have the same settings as my brush tool; smoothing 50, pressure on. And when he draws his lines are smooth and correct the amount I would like to see.
    My flash is doing this:
    The smoothing is labeled at the top of each stroke, and even when I keep the pressure I want, it causes an uneven flow at the smoothing of 50.
    I have tried resetting to all defaults, I am updated to the latest version, and I know my tablet is not the issue because my mouse does the same kind of strokes. I try using different smoothing levels, and each level has this really uneven pen flow.
    Does anyone know why my lines are so out of control?
    Please help!!! Thank you!!

  • Photoshop CS6 Brush Preset Picker Problem

    Hello
    I'd like to know if it's possible to tidy up my PSCS 6 Brush Preset Picker?  Please see image.
    My brushes are installed here:  C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64bit)/Presets/Brushes
    I can't seem to find any other location that would be causing this issue.  It's only happened since I installed CS6.
    Thanks for any help or advice
    Diane

    Thanks for the response.  I realise there are duplicates.  My question is how do I delete the duplicates from the picker?  They're aren't duplicates in the actual folders.  I've also organised the brushes into folders, restarted photoshop, rebooted and the problem is the same.
    Anyone know where the duplicates might be located on my pc? Or how to delete them in the picker?
    Thanks 

  • Photoshop CS6 cropping tools is not good

    Hi!
    Everyone who is using Adobe Photoshop CS6 product, the cropping tool is not good as when I try to crop the image moves but not the cropping tool which makes confusing and time consuming.
    When I have to print an emergency photo I have to do it within 5 minutes but that cropping tool always makes me confused. Thats why I didn't like photoshop CS6. Currently I am using CS5 product. The next crop tool works better but when I try to move it, image will go misleading.
    My question is how you are managing it???
    Thnx

    If you ask nicely, the development engineers might provide a single button that toggles back to 'Luddite' mode.   I am not being smug, because I had a wee hissy fit when I first encountered the new Crop tool in the CS6 beta, but I versy soon changed my mind and love it to bits now.  Give them a proper try out and see if you can get used to the new tools.

  • Photoshop CS6 Pen tool ( Clipping Path )

    Hello all  what is new feature adding photoshop CS6 for Pen tool anybody know ?

    There are many ways to mask and many ways to create mask.  When something you want to mask has a well defined shape it edges are made of straight and curved line segments then the pen tool is the best tool for selecting that object.  Masking is all about making good selections.  You would not use the pen tool to select/isolate a person with hair that is flowing in the wind.  I do not know if anything new was added to the pen tool in CS6. You can look up what was added to photoshop in each release on the web adobe and other sites have that information available.

  • My CS6 Brush Tool does not sample - paints black only

    I have reset my tools individually and each tool.  Still the same - brush tool paints black only . 

    There's an odd little behaviour that can confuse, or down right drive you mad, where Alt (Opt) clicking the image with the Brush tool selected changes the 'Background' colour and not the Foreground colour.  To fix this open the Color Panel, and click on the Foreground colour, which will then become the 'active' colour and respond to Alt clicking a colour in the image.
    The difference is subtle.
    Foreground colour active
    Background colour active
    It will also depend on how you have your UI set.  With a dark UI I can see a thin white border around the active colour.  That changes to a black border with a lighter UI.  I found this one hard to track down when I first ran into it, so if new to you, commit it to memory.

  • Photoshop CS6 Blur tool controls

    Hi, I've been having this problem since the first Photoshop CS6 beta, across multiple different PCs. And the problem is this:
    The new blur filters available in CS6 don't have any on-screen controls visible at all (the ones that let you adjust the position and strength and other parameters), like shown in the marketing videos and tutorials. I don't know if it's a Windows specific problem, but I've seen this problem on multiple PCs.
    Anyone else have this problem? More importantly, does anyone know a fix for it? I assume it's a widespread problem.
    Cheers,
    Riho

    What the... How the... WHY would that be disabled by default? Why isn't it more obvious? God forbid. Sometimes I don't understand where their decisions come from...

  • Photoshop CS6 type tool issue - Disappearing Type

    I recently installed CS6 and ever since then I have been having issues with type disappearing. When I choose the type tool and begin typing, everything is fine until I try to modify the type in any way, if I change point size, add a color overlay or change paragraph orientation my type disappears! If I press Command Z (undo) the type reappears minus my edits. If I try to edit type again, it's gone again. Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas how to fix it?

    i need to test and see if up and down work.
    but these folks seem to have the same issue:
