Photoshop CS6 color flow problem

Hey there!
I have returned once again to these forums because I seek help with Photoshop. I haven't used PS in a few months so it might be just me not remembering the correct settings OR a technical problem, but I seem to be having problem with color flow...
Here's what happens: Whenever I select a normal hard brush and try to paint with it the color flow stays the same and only becomes noticeable at around 20%, merely on the edges of the brush. On top of that the color values stay the same in the middle of the line I draw when flow is between 100% and 10%. I've tested and confirmed this with eyedropper tool.
However if I just click with the brush and don't drag it along the canvas the flow works just fine anywhere between 100% and 1%. Because of this it's impossible to mix colors on screen and shade artwork properly. I don't know if I need to check/uncheck certain settings, but I can't seem to find a reason why it's acting like this, nor can I fix this on my own. Could there be a problem with my tablet?
I really hope someone can help me with this. I've searched the internet for answers but couldn't find any so my last resort was to write on official Adobe forums. Thanks in advance for taking your time and reading my post.
Have a nice day!
Jerry
P.S. I've made a simple diagram to show you my problem and included it in an image below:

This worked in a way... I did exactly what you wrote, I changed the spacing to 100%(or more) and now the color flow is definitely noticeable no matter what it's value in % is, but my brush stroke turns into a series of connected dots.. I remember reducing the spacing from a default value of 25% to 1% on all of my brushes exactly because of this.
If I turn the spacing back down and below 100% to a more reasonable value the dots will start to overlap and the brush stroke will become smoother, but the color flow will become less and less visible as the % of the spacing decreases.
This is the solution I've come up with: In order to compensate for the visible overlapping at larger brush sizes AND keep the color flow functioning I increased the document resolution a few times and then pressed Control + 0 to fit the canvas on my screen. When you have a big canvas the large brush becomes much smaller and you can't really see the overlapping anymore, while still being able to maintain control of the flow of color.
But is that really the only way?
Also, what would you say is the optimal spacing value?

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS6 COLOR PROBLEMS

hi i have a problem on adobe cs6, i am a photographer and i work heavily on my pictures, sometimes with graphic techniques(like lens flare, light leaks etc) and sometimes just with camera raw. i have this problem in the sense that i am satisfied with how the final image looks on my monitor but when i send these pictures to both my phones (AN HTC android and a blackberry q5) the images look over saturated, the colors are too contrasted and are too deep, everything looks like i over edited it and i dont understand. my laptop monitor supports 32-bit imaging and its set to that by default, but my picture mode in photoshop is set to 16-bit by default, please help as i dont know what to do, could it be my monitor thats rendering false colors? i read something about changing color spaces to between sRGB adobe RGB and ProPhoto RGB but i just dont understand anything, please help
laptop specs:
toshiba satellite a665-s6050
intel core i3 350m @2.2ghz
intel hd 3000 graphics card
adobe photoshop cs6.1 with the latest camera raw

What is the images’ Color Space and do you embed the profile when saving?
In all probability your phones are simply not color managed.
So while converting the images to sRGB might improve the situation the issue may be that you are expecting what’s pretty much impossible – that images appear identically in color managed applications and on non-color managed devices.

Photoshop CS6 spot channel problems

When I save a file created in Photoshop CS6 that has SPOT color channels it is converting the SPOT color channels to ALPHA channels when my customers are opening them into an older version of Photoshop. This has never been a problem with earlier versions of Photoshop.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?
I don't know if it is a bug in CS6 or it is a setting or something I am not finding. I have never had to set anything before this version and I have been through anything I could think of to try & discover something, but no luck.
Any help would be really appreciated as this can't keep happening. I have had to be on the phone walking them through the steps to convert the ALPHA channels back to SPOT channels but do not have the time nor should I expect my customer to have to do it.
Running Windows 7
Help please!- Thank you

I'm having the same issues and it seems this just started happening after the most recent update because this wasn't happening for the last couple months I've had CS6. Not only that I actually lost 4 hours of work after it didn't save the spot channels at all and just saved the original image (it's technically supposed to be impossible to do this without making a copy). On top of that now when my clients try to open my PSD files in previous versions it says they do not have the correct color books even though I'm not using spot colors (this did not happen before the update. I've sent several files in the past couple weeks). I'm not sure what they did recently but it really screwed things up.
I'd like to know if anyone has a work around for the color book problem short of asking my clients to buy and install the new color books. I'm having to send the spots as EPS DCS files, so they can open it. It's always a headache when you upgrade and none of your clients do. Why can't they make this stuff work backwards?

Photoshop CS6 Color Management Inaccuracy

Adobe: Just a reminder, this color-management problem that I reported against Photoshop CS5 is still around:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3475331
It's illustrated here in this screen grab, showing the visibly inaccurate result of Photoshop's transform, done in the GPU, from RGB values in the ProPhoto RGB color space to the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color space. Note the circular banding and color shifts in what should be a perfect gray gradient.
Do you think you could find it in your hearts to fix this before moving on to layer more features on an imperfect code base?
Thanks.

I would like to include myself in the list to request the Adobe Photoshop CS6 team to look into the discolorization issue. I am using the entry level nVIDIA GT 430 for its basic openCL features for PhaseONE CaptureONE PRO.
I created a 16-Bit monochromatic image in CaptureONEPRO 7 and opened in CS6. My RGB working profile is ProPhoto and my 16-BIT BW TIFF is in the ProPhotoRGB space. With the GPU settings to "Normal" and "Advanced," I could see the discolorization and banding on my images. I have found that if I go to "View" and click on "Gamut Warning," the discolorizatioin seem to disaappear.
Having the GPU to "Basis" clears everything up as Noel Carboni first reported. I only have the banding and discolored appearing when GPU is on "Normal" or "Advanced."
Yours sincerely,
Ronald

Photoshop CS6 - Color keeps changing

I have Photoshop CS6 for Windows 7.
Whenever I put the main color in and then switch it out for another color, the main color that's been used before keeps changing into a darker color instead of the same color tone it was taken from. I don't know if there's a problem with the RGB Color, or something else I need to check. Is there something that can fix this?

Okay then. I mean when I use the Eyedropper Tool on the color that I had already put on a picture, the color becomes darker than what is shown when I use the Brush tool.
Like when I put light red as the foreground color, then switch it out for another color, then used the Eyedropper tool to copy the light red color to use it again, the light red color instead becomes a slight darker red when I use the brush or other related tools I use to color in my picture.
Hope this detail is clear enough.

CAN ANYONE HELP, I AM GOING MAD?

First, you need to reinstall all the Photoshop updates.
Do you have a subscription or Photoshop Extended license?
The 3D features are only available in CS6 Extended.

Photoshop CS6 temp memory problems

Hi,
My name is George,
I'm working as a web-designer. I heard about new features in Photoshop cs6, like paragraph/character styles (something very good for web-designers).
And tried those new features, works perfectly, but i found a big problem.
When we are working in Photoshop, it instantly creates a PhotoshopTemp file in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp, and when I tried to create new paragraphs styles or character styles the memory of that temp files is increasing until your partition memory is not filed at all, for example at that moment in my C:\ partition I had about 3GB free memory, initially the PhotoshopTemp file had about 200MB, but when I tried to create a new paragraph style, temp file size increased up to 3.2GB, consuming all my C:\ drive free memory
If you have any ideas, please help me...

Not even remotely!
Figure on needing 35 to 70 times as much Photoshop scratch disk space—or more—as the size of your largest open file. Multiply that by the number of files you keep open, and add a bunch of GBs for the swap files of the OS.
Additionally, a good rule of thumb is not to let any drive get more than 75%–80% full.
The poster above who replied to your post is not just any Adobe employee, but a top Adobe engineer who has been writing Photoshop code for 16 years or longer. You'll be wise not to dismiss his advice.
Whatever your machine is, it's not adequate for a working web designer.

Photoshop Cs6 ME Type problems!!

i have a Photoshop cs6 ME on my imac.
since i have installed mavericks and after that yosemite i have a lot of problem with the type and text tools at photoshop.
1. photoshop is very slow and always stuck when i work with a document that a text is included or involved.
2. when i open a psd template (based on english) that i have download from the internet and try to add text layer - it wont let me write normally at hebrew and all the text is written in the opposite direction!!
What shell I do?
Please help me!

The first thing is to avoid that template and create the document from scratch.
Since the template you are using is "based on English" it may already contain the preference to write from left to right.
I understand you to say that the text direction is correct on documents you create.
As for the Yosemite performance problems, you may well be hitting some of the many bugs Apple hasn't yet been able to fix. Not much Adobe can do about that but keep pressuring Apple to fix their OS.

CS6 Color Channel Problem When Saving Oil Paint Files

When I save an OIL PAINT file created in Photoshop CS6, it saves with red and blue shapes over the image. Before saving, the image looks fine. I'm running windows 8. Is it me or a CS6 bug?

There were some driver problems that caused single tile artifacts when running Oil Paint.
Have you updated your video card driver from the GPU maker's website?

Photoshop cs6 encountered a problem and needs to close

You will not have any 3D features as they are not supported by the XP OS.
Do you have the latest version of XP?

Photoshop CS6 Text leading problem

Hi!
Problem with text editing in Photoshop CS6. Here's an image - a compare between CS3.
In CS6 in editing text mode when select all text & use Alt + keyboard "down" I have too big jumping values of leading. It's really make uncomfortable work to exactly adjustment spacing between the lines in text blocks :(((((....
In CS3 wasn't this problem, everything was excellent with leading & very comfortable work
Is there any fix this problem?
p.s.
OS - windows 7 64 bit
cs6 - 64 bit extended
cs3 - 64 bit extended

hmmm... I really didn't understnand.....
I just checked it again in CS6:
1. Wrote down text in 3 lines...for instance
2. Select all (Crtl+A)
3. Keep Alt and use keyboard arrows "up" & "down", situation was the same - leading values jumping like 30pt - 44pt - 58 pt.....
Than I wanted to check it on CS5. In CS5 values changing through 2pt: 30 - 32 - 34 etc. Good!...
Than I run CS6 again and did the same.... and....DAMN IT!!....It starts to work I wanted!!!!... Fantastic!!!
Now...I'm in perplexity...a little..... What it was..... I didn't any changes ... not in general preferences...not in text preferences in character palette..... May be it's new any feature & I don't know about it yet....or...may be it bug.....or may be some preferences crosses between different verses of CS?
WIll use it more times and looking....
p.s. now I decide to reload OS and check again & post results later...
p.s.2 ...befor reloading....opened old psd....made in CS3 & tried to change leading in text blocks - it jumped through 10pt........ mmmm ...it looks like CS6 not correctly work with old files (that were made in cs3 for example).... It's not clear for me yet....what problem in

May i know the right photoshop cs6 color settings to print black and white?

hi
in photoshop cs6 64bit under windows 7 sp1 64bit i got
gray Dot gain 15%
spot Dot gain 15%
i did a clean install of photoshop cs6 , i guess they are the dafault
may i know if they are the right settings ? i print with my printer and in a lab with an epson printer
thanks

Ask the lab but I'd be shocked if they asked you for a grayscale document, assuming this Epson is for output of photographic images
they work with psd files and jpg
(but the when i save a photo edited with for example an adjustament layer(black&white) photoshop convert it in a grayscale image ,isn't it?
but photoshop should warns about mismatch profile ,should it? or does it work only with color space
Dot gain would account for whatever dot gain you're aiming for on the press, so you'd have to ask.
Gamma would be used for output to an emissive display, so something like 2.2 to mimic sRGB behavior might be one option
. but may i ask a question?
because i guess i'm confused now
Gray and Spot settings are related only to convert from rgb to mode grayscale
or these settings influence what i see in the monitor when for example i add a black and white adjustament layer?
by the way gray and spot set both at dot gain 20% , are the dafault?
thanks

Photoshop CS6 colors have shifted for PSD files; no longer match Bridge colors, resulting jpg colors off too

Until last night, Photoshop has been working relatively well** (see below) However, I processed a batch of DNG files through Bridge and saved them as PSDs. When I opened up the new PSD files in PSCS5, the colors had shifted - more green, less saturated.
I went back to the DNG files and opened each up separately in PS - the color looked good. I edited them, saved them as PSD files, and reopened them in PS - the colors were bad.
I cleared the Preferences (by holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift) when restarting PS. Although it cleared up the pre-existing issue explained below **, it didn't fix the issue with the colors.
I rebooted my computer. No luck.
I looked for available updates. None available.
I recalibrated my monitor (ColorMunki). No luck.
I don't know what I did/what happened to cause the problem. The day before, everything was fine.
I tried to fix it by experimenting with option under View. The closest I could get the colors to matching those shown in Bridge was to set View--Proof Colors-- Monitor RGB.
But here's the kicker - when I did a "save as" in PS the resulting jpeg had the same gross color shown in PS before setting the proof colors to Monitor RGB - and the jpeg colors are gross in Bridge and PS! The same thing happens if I run a batch of PSDs via Bridge and save them as jpegs. The resulting jpegs look gross in both PS and Bridge.
HELP!
I'm using a PC with Windows 7. All the images jpegs, DNG and PSD are in the RBG color space.
**(except for one weird issue - when I would try to open up a color balance layer, it would open a levels layer instead)

Photoshop CS6 Swatches Panel Problem

Hello,
I appologize if this or a similar question has been answered previously, but after some searching I haven't been able to find a solution to my issue. So I run PS CS6 with the default swatches working in the painting workspace on WIndows 7. The swatches usually looked like this:
However when I opened my file to work on today the panel suddenly looked as follows:
I am not sure how or why this changed happened, I didn't make any changes to my preferences at all. Yesterday when I had the file open the swatches were as above and today they look like the second image. I tried resetting the swatches to default replacing the current panel, but it just resets to this order. I have even deleted the swatches.psp file in users/appdata/roaming/adobe/etc... and photoshop still opens to this order of colors. I've even gone as far as resetting all photoshop preferences to no avail. I can't figure out for the life of me how to get it back to the way it was originally. It's not a huge deal but I find it extremely annoying as I've gotten used to working with the default swatches panel order.
So if anyone knows how I can reset my swatches panel so they look as they originally did above I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Nothing really changed other than the width of the swatches palette because it is grouped with other palettes that are wider than it's minimum size. All the colors are still there, in the same order.
