Photoshop CS6 - undo shortcut issues

I am using Photoshop CS6 on Mac OSX 10.10. When I attempt to use the undo shortcut (Command Z), it only sometimes works. If it doesn't work, I have to manually go to Edit - Undo. Is there a fix for this?

Just troubleshoot your system. The problem is on your end.
If you updated or upgraded to the foul Yosemite 10.10 after Photoshop CS6 was installed, Yosemite damaged Photoshop. The remedy is to uninstall CS6 and re-install it, then update it to Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6.
Of course, it could be a faulty keyboard or who knows what else.

Photoshop CS6 Problems- Shortcuts are Stuck! Lasso Does Not Work!

Hi there! I'm a Mac user with a Cintiq 12WX tablet, and I just upgraded to Photoshop CS6. I use it primarily for art, but I've come across some problems that have really interrupted my workflow. A lot of the time, certain functions seem to not work or get stuck. Here are my problems specifically:
1. My Undo shortcut is set to Command+Z. Some of the time it works fine, but most of the time I keep hitting the command and nothing happens! So if I want to delete a brush stroke, I usually have to tap multiple with my stylus and make more strokes in order to get Undo to work. Frustrating!
2. The lasso tool works sometimes, but a lot of the time it doesn't select anything. So I have to keep repeating the stroke until it does select.
3. Sometimes, the keyboard shortcuts just don't work! And even if a tool is selected, I can't do anything with it!
These problems are all completely random, I have no idea what triggers them. I've read of other people having similar problems, but I have yet to find a solution. Nothing like this happened in CS5. Does anybody know how to help me? I make me living with art and these problems have really slowed me down. Thank you!

What OS Version are you using?
It sounds like you are on MaCOS, did you install the WhiteWindowWorkaround plugin to avoid the known MacOS bugs?

Photoshop CS6 keyboard shortcuts in PSE 12

Has the structure of the .kys file changed in CS6? I used to be able to use the keyboard shortcuts from CS5 with my wife's laptop. We recently went to CS6 on my desktop and PSE 12 on her laptop, and now the keyboard shortcuts that I try to copy from CS6 to PSE not only don't work, but are deleted by PSE as it exits. I've put an old keyboard shortcuts.psp file that I had from CS5, and it works fine and doesn't get deleted.
If my conclusion that the shortcuts are different and incompatible is correct, is there any workaround?
I'm using Windows 7. Thanks!

It looks like the shortcuts from cs6 won't work in pse 12 and they don't work in photoshop cs5 either, so adobe must have changed something.
Anyway, it's probably best to use the keyboard shortcuts from photoshop cs5, since pse 12 is mostly based on the photoshop cs5 code.
This the message one gets in photoshop cs5 when trying to load a keyboard shortcuts file saved out of photoshop cs6.

Photoshop CS6 Options Bar Issue - OSX

Hello,
I am using Photoshop cs6 on my Mac and I hm having trouble with the options bar in the way. When I open two or more windows within Photoshop the options bar is covering up the X's that allows me to close them out and the tabs themselves. I have attached an image to show the problem. I have tried to move the option bar, but it seems that Photoshop wont allow me to do this. I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue or knows how to fix it.
Thanks,
Han

It looks like the tool options bar isn't docked below the menu bar.
You should be able to drag the tool opions bar by the tab on the left side up until you see a blue line and let go to dock the tool options bar.
below is from a windows machine, but as far as i know it should work on a mac as well.

Photoshop CS6 printing size issue

I'm having a strange issue. Just upgraded to CS 6 and was able to print with no issues for a few weeks.
Yesterday I tried to print a file I had printed the day prior with no issus, to find that the document size appearing in the print dialogue box was VERY large. My document size is 11x17 with a resolution of 300, and the print box shows it as a tiny image in the middle of a page 77.264 in x 49.986 in.
If I try to print this scale, nothing shows up on my printer. If I fit to scale and try to print the document size, it's printing huge (400% larger)
My print settings are correct, thought maybe it was a driver issue but I'm having the same issue on another printer I use, so it seems to be coming from Photoshop. I trashed my preferences on startup, but the issue remains. I can't figure out what's going on. Here's a screen shot
Additional info: Other documents having the same issue in Photoshop CS6 when trying to print.
Document prints fine in CS5 and Illustrator CS6.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 100% Zoom Issue

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Version 13.0.6 x64
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10
100% Zoom is very tiny on my screen. How do I fix?

An Images dpi setting has nothing to do with it. Its all about the number of pixels you have. Image for the web have fewer pixels. It does not matter it you set the image DPI resolution is 72, 300 or any other value when you don't resample the number of pixels remain the same. When you display actual pixels 100% zoom an image with 10K pixels with a 300dpi is the same 10K pixel image with a 72dpi resolution setting. Printers will use the images dpi setting to adjust pixel size. Displays do not they are run at their native DPI resolution whatever that is. So a 10K pixel image with a 72DPI setting and a 10K pixels image with a 300DPI setting will be displayed as a 10K pixel image at the displays dpi resolution.
DPI defines Pixel size pixel density 300DPI means 90000 square pixels per inch so the pixel size would be 1/300" x 1/300". 72DPI means 5184 pixels per square inch so pixel size is 1/72" x 1/72"
So if you have an image with 7200px x 7200px and set the dpi tp 72DPI and print it will print 100" x 100" do know of a printer the cal handle 100" paper
So if you have an image with 7200px x 7200px and set the dpi tp 300DPI and print it will print 24" x 24" you need a large form printer that can handle 24" wide paper
This image can not be displayed on a display zoomed to 100% only part of the image will fit you will need to scroll about the image. Unless you have a 34" display with a square aspect ratio with a 300DPI native resolution that I don't know about.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 weird hangup issues with paintbrush

Hello All,
I've been an extremely happy user of Photoshop CS6 x64 on my windows machine since it was released. None of the existing bugs had any effect on me and i was happy as a clam.
Until about two weeks ago. Some update was released and i downloaded and installed it.
Now suddenly, when i'm retouching photographs, using masks and the paintbrush to fill, the mouse hangs. Often. Just gets stuck in position and i have to wait for a second or two to get it back.Also happens with the clone stamp. It's like a delay has been added to the controls. No other way to explain it.
No other hardware of software changes on my machine at all. Just the Photoshop Update. I'm running version 13.0.1 on x64 windows. Have plenty of ram and plenty of CPU.
Anyone else experiencing this, with the latest update in particular? The paint brush, clone tool and healing brush controls used to be much more responsive.

Brendan Stewart wrote:
i mean creating a layer mask and painting it back in with the paintbrush.
Yes that is normal. I have no problem with CS6, No lag or hesitation.
A tip for you if your creating the mask using a copy of a color channel. Set the brush blending mode to "Overlay" This will protect the mask Black and White areas. You will only be able yo paint in gray areas of the mask. When areas turn 0,0,0 Black or 255,255,255 White they become protected too. Use a Wacom tablet soft brush low opacity and many strokes

Photoshop CS6 Liquify cursor issue...

Hi everyone,
recently I've upgrade to Photoshop CS6.
All works great, but Liquify filter. Well, filter works great (new mercury engine is awesome!) but something happened to cursor.
Look screenshot below.
Using PS CS5 I have not problem checking "Use GPU" option in Preferences panel; and with it checked PS CS6 works great, except Liquify cursor. If I uncheck this option, Liquify cursor looks normal.
Could anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Photoshop CS6 path curve issue

Prior to Photoshop CS6, a curve on a path could be moved using the Direct Selection Tool without altering the path beyond the two enclosing points. If you manipulated the curve, only the inside handles of the two points (that create the curve) would change - and only in length - as shown below:
Unfortunately, in Photoshop CS6, if you manipulate the path curve with the Direct Selection Tool, the handles both sides of the points move freely - affecting the path beyond those points:
- Please, is there a way to revert to the prior behaviour? The Photoshop CS6 behaviour may seem more intuitive (or something), but it's less precise and alter parts of the path that are fine already.

Thank-you very much for this!
I only ever use the Direct Selection Tool by holding down command whilst using Pen Tool - and Pen Tool itself does not show that option! Solved - thanks.

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:

Photoshop CS6 Undo Resize bug?

I notice in CS6 (13.0.1 for Windows) if I size an image down (to let's say 200x200) and then Undo, the image is the original size again but the window frame is still 200x200 (or whatever), and I then have to either drag the frame larger or click the 'Actual Pixels' button to reframe it. CS2 never used to do that and it's annoying as I resize a lot. Is there anything I can do about this?

I suggest giving the Tabbed view a try for one full week. It will seem painful at first, but stick with it. There are advantages.
Like you, WAY back when Photoshop CS4 first came out I was loathe to use the new tabbed view, thinking that I really liked managing my documents in separate windows. For a long time I configured Photoshop CS4 to not open documents in tabs, using the windowed view.
But I always felt that I was paddling a bit against the current - not the way Adobe would rather I use Photoshop.
As it turns out, a problem with a particular plug-in - Genuine Fractals - in which it absolutely would not work properly in windowed view but would work okay in tabbed view, caused me to make what I thought then was a temporary change.
After a week or two, against all odds, and certainly unexpectedly, tabbed view began to grow on me. Long story short, I've never switched back. I've used Photoshop every day since (and I mean literally every day, sometimes all day) using tabbed view.
It's not evil. And it has some advantages.
You're probably thinking, "I'm not like that, I won't be able to stand it".
I thought that too. Try it.
