Photoshop CS6 clear anchor point

Hi
Small problem with paths :/
Clearing anchor point so that it's cuts the path line also to the next anchor (like point to point, cuts segment of path) not the whole path...
Sometimes it works using delete or backspace But no clue why does not always work ? and getting work is like F* hell
Is there some option or is it just CS6 problem

Seems to be a systemic issue with Photoshop CS6.
The Direct Selection Tool is supposed to select one point in a path, but I find, like you, that it can get into a mode where it's as though all the other points are selected and remain selected. This leads to you deleting the entire path.
When it's working "correctly", clicking a point with the Direct Selection tool will make that path point black and show both handles, while the two points to either side will show as squares with a light center and only one handle exposed. Clicking another point will change the "focus" to that point, and make the prior selected point have a light square, indicating it's no longer selected. When it's working like this, I can delete one point.
But once I delete a point the behavior reverts to the bad one you're describing, where clicking on a point leaves all the points black and shows both handles of the point clicked AND any other ones clicked (sort of like if the shift key is down or something). At that time pressing Delete will clear all of the points - deleting the entire path.
As I don't use paths as much as some, so I've never thought to report it as a bug.
Edit: I've just reproduced the same behavior in Photoshop CS5. This implies it's some kind of "by design" modal behavior, and that my unfamiliarity with using Path tools may be showing.
I've noticed holding down the control key, clicking, then holding down the control key and clicking again seems to revert it to the "correct" behavior where only one point at a time gets the focus. Dragging a box around the point you want with the Direct Selection Tool also seems to net the proper behavior.

Photoshop CS6: No entry point found?

For seven days I had to redownload a trial version of Photoshop CS6! I continue to receive the same service message stating: "Entry Point link cannot be found". In the past I have downloaded Photoshop Elements and I had no problems. I plan to purchase photoshop after my trial but now after what I am encountering I'm having some second thoughts. If you are able to help me fix the problem I'd greatly appreciate it!
I am downloading on a Windows XP!
-Maria

Could you provide some details about your computer and which service pack of Windows XP are you using?
From the sound of it, it seems that it might either be an incomplete install or perhaps unsupported hardware issue.
You could have a look at the Tech Specs just to be sure that your computer meets the system requirements: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/tech-specs.html
You could also try uninstalling and re-installing the software.

Photoshop CS5 Curves & Anchor Points

In CS3, when using a Curves Adjustment layer, I could Shift Click on an image to place an anchor point on each of the red, green, and blue channels in RGB mode. This process changed in CS4 and CS5.
From experimenting in CS4 and CS5, I can only place an anchor point on a single channel. I want to place a simultaneous anchor point on each layer.
My question is, How do I place a simultaneous anchor point on each channel in a curves adjustment layer?

Using a curves layer, if I use Control Shift on an image, then anchor points are inserted on all channels. This applies to CS3 to CS5.

Since installing Photoshop CS6, scanner cannot be launched via Photoshop Elements 8

I have recently installed Photoshop CS6. I already had Photoshop Elements 8 on my PC. Before installing CS6, I could quite happily scan photos etc via my scanner, from within Elements 8, but now when I go 'File > Get Photos and Videos > From Scanner' within Elements 8 (with Photoshop CS6 not open at the time, incidentally), I get a message saying 'Software for this device could not be launched. The device is not connected or is busy'. I would like to be able to scan from either Photoshop applications. What is the problem here?

Thanks Sudarshan Thiagarajan, Hudechrome and Curt Y. The printer/scanner/copier is an old Brother DCP-115C. I do have the latest driver installed. Due to its age, Brother stopped updating the driver ages ago.
Unless I'm missing something, why would anyone suspect the driver being at fault, anyway? The scanner worked fine from within Elements 8 - until I installed Photoshop CS6, from which point it continues to scan fine from within CS6, using either the WIA or the TWAIN systems (I needed to download the TWAIN plug-in for CS6 - it is no longer contained on Photoshop CS6's installation disc), but I can no longer scan from within Elements 8 anymore.
I'm just wondering, is one particular Photoshop application set as the 'default' application for the scanner (and, since CS6 was installed, this has taken precedence over Elements 8), or are you supposed to be able to use the scanner from within more than one Photoshop application on your PC system, at any one time, provided, of course, you have only one Photoshop application open? I expect it is the latter, as I am able to print from either Photoshop application still. As this is the case, I assume this means you should be able to scan from either Photoshop application also.

Change anchor point on Photoshop Live 3D image?

It is possible to change the anchor point on a Photoshop Live 3D model?
I've imported a (.obj) 3D model into Photoshop (CS5.5) Live 3D layer (in order to be able to export as a PS Live .PSD and import into After Effects) howver I need to change the anchor point to one of the 4 corners, rather than dead centre which is the default. I thought it would easy just to import the .PSD file into After Effects and move the anchor point in there, but this seems impossible. So, can the anchor point be moved inside of Photoshop before I export it?
Mike.

What do you mean by »Photoshop Live 3D«?
If you need to change the 3D-object’s mesh I’m afraid that will have to be done outside of Photoshop.
But if you could post a mock-up or screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible the issue might get clearer.

Hi Sardini,
The GPU FAQ clearly talks that the GPU features cant work same as on the virtual drivers like the physcial machine which is why you see the redraw.
Feel free to read the link below which talks about the same.

Cs6 , how can i add a anchor point in the curve in the channel Red or Green?

Hi
how can i add an anchor point in the curve in the Channel R / G and B?
in cs5 , with ctrl + click i was able to click on the image and add an anchor point in the curve channel RGB
and with shift +ctrl + click i was able to click on the image and add an anchor poing in the channel Red , 1 in the channel Green and 1 in the channel blue
i know cs6 doesn't have any more ctrl+mouse click , there is the targeted adjustamanent tool
i can do it with ctrl+m and call the curve
but i can't do it with curve adjustament tool
is there a way to add a anchor point in each channel red , green and blue (like the prev photoshop)?
thanks

thanks that's correct! thanks
but it's not 100% correct
to add a multiple points in rgb shift+click doesn't work!

Keyboard shortcuts: Curves
You can use these keyboard shortcuts for Curves:
To set a point on the curve for the selected color in each color component channel (but not in the composite channel), Shift+Ctrl-click (Windows) or Shift+Command-click (Mac OS) in the image.
To select multiple points, Shift-click points on the curve. Selected points are filled with black.
To deselect all points on the curve, click in the grid, or press Ctrl‑D (Windows) or Command-D (Mac OS).
To select the next higher point on the curve, press the plus key; to select the next lowest, press the minus key.
To move selected points on the curve, press the arrow keys.
(Curves dialog box) To set a point on the curve for the current channel, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) in the image.
If you’re instead using the Curves adjustment, simply click in the image with the On-image adjustment tool .

How do I switch to "Add Anchor Point Tool" and "Convert Point Tool" with shortcuts? (CS6)(Windows 7)

I would like to know if there’re shortcuts to switch to" Add Anchor Point Tool" and "Convert Point Tool" on Photoshop CS6 while using a Windows 7 PC.
Thank you for your time!!

What I usually do is use the pen tool. Clicking anywhere on the path adds points, clicking on a point removes it and holding down the alt key while over a point is the convert point tool. Ctrl key is the direct selection tool and ctrl+alt key while dragging the object duplicates it.

Photoshop Cs6 repeatedly crashes at the same point.

Every time i go to edit something in Photoshop Extended Cs6 the software crashes... for example.. i place a 3D object in my picture, i can place the object, but the second I place it and try to change anything about the object, the software crashes and gives me this error report, and asks me to close the application. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance

Your problem lies with the faulting module atio6axx.dll.
Is this a plug-in? Try uninstalling for hiding the folder from PS and see if it works.

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.

Moving anchor point with arrow keys crashes Photoshop CC

Hey guys,
I've recently run into this bug many times while working with shapes. Don't really know what initiates it but it's super annoying as it crashes the PS CC completely without possiblity of recovering the unsaved files.
The bug appears while working with shapes after file is saved and reopened. Because I use to design pixel-perfect UIs, I work with arrow keys a lot to be sure every pixel is in the right place. So after selecting one or more anchor points of shape and hitting any arrow key (to move it by pixel), photoshop immediately crashes with this super-long description of bug: http://justpaste.it/ccshapecrash
Dunno why but this occurs very often when handling 1px-thin rectangles.
Is it only me or has anybody else experienced this as well? Any idea what exactly is causing it or what might be wrong with my config?
Never seen that kind of error in Photoshop before. It completely destroys my everyday workflow

I have exactly the same problem and I don't have any solution. I was tried to update the latest video drivers - nothing! Tried to update Photoshop which updates fixes bugs - nothing! The problem continues.
My OS is Windows 8 64bit, video card Nvidia GT 630. For the case, my Photoshop 32x works better (faster) than the 64x. Why is that ? I hope to have a solution.

Can't select anchor points of some shapes in Photoshop CC 2014

I have a multi-layered file with a number of shape objects. When I go to the direct selection tool and try to click on an anchor point the points simply do not show up. Is there some property that I am not aware of that prevents selection?

Can you upload the psd file. The Path palette shows a very small triangle path on the right edge of the canvas up some from the bottom of the document. With the direct path tool active and the shape layer targeted even if no point is selected I would expect the see the path outline shown in the Path Palette for the shape layer to be shown in the image window also I see none. Can you see the path outline? Are you on a Mac I'm on a PC using cc2014 with todays update

Too many anchor point when brushes expand in CS6

I have recently upgraded to CS6 from CS2. I do a lot of digital inking in Illustrator as part of my job. In CS2 I would create a simple tapered brush using 4 anchor points. When I would draw a brush stroke say with two anchor points, and then expand that brush stroke. Illustrator CS2 would convert the outlined tapered brush stroke back to the the original 4 anchor point path that I had originally created with maybe one extra point if the stroke curved drastically. Now is CS6 illustrator creates that same expanded brush with 9 to 12 anchor points in the path. This makes the program completly useless for my task. Is there anyway to correct this?

Just in case you didn't get it. Here is a link to a brush sample. It's a simple art brush. Nothing sophisicated.

How can I use anchor points in Photoshop CC?

I'm using a trial version of Photoshop CC and I am trying to put a formed border around some text. I was able to do this with my other Photoshop program with manipulating anchor points. The CC version is layed out differently. How can I use and form anchor points?

Hi Sheryl. I must admit, I looked at your post earlier, and it was too obscure to get a handle on (did I really just say 'handle'? ). But I think I can see where you are coming from now. Yes, the manipulation of paths has changed a wee bit with CC, but it is pretty intuitive, and a lot of it will still work fine using your old methodology.
Take a look at some of these Julieanne Kost blog posts
https://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/tag/path-selection-tool
I find the most reliable way to make individual point selection work first time every time, is to select the Direct Selection tool > and with the shape/path layer selected, drag a tiny marquee around your target point. You can then click drag that point to edit the shape or path.
But there are so many ways to do the sort of thing you are talking about. If you make a copy of the text layer, and make the lower of the two in the layer stack bigger (Free Transform with Alt Shift) you can then turn that lower text layer into a path or shape to manipulate it.
Or you could add a broad stroke around the text on a new layer. Ctrl click the stroke to load it as a selection, and turn the selection into a path using the icon at the bottom of the Paths panel, and then manipulate its points. If you want to make the stroke a solid filled layer, then I don't know of a better way than dragging a marquee around the inner points wth Direct Selection tool, and hitting Delete.
It's an interesting subject, so please keep asking about anything you are not sure about.

Photoshop extended : change 3D anchor point

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the 3D anchor point's position in Photoshop Extended CS4 3D mode. I just can't imagine that the development team would have forgotten such an important feature, so I guess it's just that I haven't found it !
Thanks for your help

Yes with pleasure !
Photoshop Extended CS4 permits you to open 3D files that have been created with a third party software like Cinema 4D, 3DS Studio Max, etc.
When you import one of these file formats in PS Extended CS4 you are able to look at your 3D object by rotating it around. When you rotate your object in 3 dimensions, the rotation occurs around one point ; this point is called the anchor point.
In 3D, when you animate an object, you want it to rotate around specific points. For example, lets say you have an arm ; you want it to rotate around the shoulder, but not in the middle of the forearm. So what you do is that you place the anchor point (point where your object will rotate around) at the position of the shoulder. Once that done, you can use your rotation tool to rotate your 3D arm, and it will rotate around the shoulder.
The problem here is that there seems to be no way to change the position of the anchor point (point where the 3D object rotates around). When you import a 3D file into PS Extended CS4, it seems like an average position for the anchor point is calculated and then left that way.
So that's why I simply want to know if anybody has expertise in this domain, or knowledge of any function in PS Extended that I might have not seen.
Thanks again for your interest !
