Photoshop Elements 11 - 'Flow' tool

Hi!
So, I'm following this more or less online Photoshop course on ctrlpaint.com. In one of the beginner tutorials (tutorial 3/5 to be exact), the guy uses a tool called 'Flow', which seems to be missing in Elements 11.
Is there a replacing tool? Or anything relevant I could use?
Thanks in advance

The brush flow is just not in the tool options bar in photoshop elements, but you get it with keyboard shortcuts.

  • My Photoshop Elements 11 tools zoomed in

    This is basically what they look like now:
    I can't access any of the tools below that line. I've tried to get rid of the toolbox and various other things, and I've also tried to uninstall and reinstall the entire program. I'm not sure how it started; I think I moved my mouse a certain way and then they just zoomed out. I used to have this kind of problem when I had an older version of Photoshop Elements, but it would always fix itself somehow.
    Help?

    Does clicking Window>Reset panels do anything, or going to the editor preferences>General and clicking this  button and restarting the editor?

  • Photoshop Elements select tool, when targeting layer or multiple layers the layer properties box pops up.  Having to very carefully and repeatedly select and highlight layers to move, or merge when using Move Tool.  Win 8, Adobe 12, Intuos 4 w/ updated dr

    This issue has been going on for several weeks.
    The Move Tool is not functioning properly when selecting and TARGETING a layer or multiple layers, as the Layer Properties box pops up requiring me to close it and try again.
    How to reset or is there an update and fix for this issue.
    Using Win 8, Elements 12, and Intuos 4 Pen and Tablet.

    To reset the tool I suggest click on it once and then look for something like this in the bottom half of your window:
    In the above picture I have marked one section in red box.  You need to click on it to get the option to either reset the only tool you have clicked or to reset all the tools in the editor window.  Of course you have to be in Expert Mode to get this to work.
    Good luck.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 problems with eraser, brush, box

    Box, brush, eraser are not completely filled in. I need to completely fill in a detailed drawing with an eraser, box and brush.
    Thank you.

    Look on screen towards the end.
    Select a tool.
        Look in the Tool Options bar to see the available options. For more information on setting options for a specific tool, search for the tool’s name in Photoshop Elements Help.
    Note: 
    To return a tool or all tools to their default settings, click the tool icon, select the flyout menu from the Tool Options bar, and then choose Reset Tool or Reset All Tools.
        To close the Tool Options bar, click Tool Options in the task bar. To reopen the bar, click Tool Options from the task bar.

  • Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error."  Please help.

    Photoshop Elements 8.  "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error."  Please help.

    Try this:
    Open your picture file
    Access the clone stamp tool
    Hold down the ALT key on the keyboard and left click on the area from which you wish to clone, then release the ALT key, and click to place the pixels at the destination
    TIPS:
    It is a good idea to open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette, and do the cloning on this layer. Be sure that "sample all layers" at the top is checked. You can change the layer opacity if necessary
    Use the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard to increase & decrease the size of the cursor

    Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
    Thank you both for the replies.
    I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
    I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
    I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
    Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
    And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
    I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
    Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
    Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 - paint brush took has disappeared from the tool box.  How do I get it back?

    Keep tapping the B key and it should reappear, or click-hold/right-click on whatever tool is currently visible right below the eraser.

  • PhotoShop Elements 5.0 Cursor locks to Hand tool

    I use Photoshop Elements 5.0, and sometimes, my cursor will lock to the hand tool and I can't use any other tools.  I will exit the program and open it back up, and it will still be locked on the hand tool, but later, it will randomly start working again and let me use the other tools.  How can I fix this?

    I'd start by checking the space bar on the keyboard. It might be sticking. When (if) you get stuck in the hand tool, try tapping your space bar.
    Reason: The space bar is the shortcut that calls up the  hand tool.

  • Changing size of tool bars & icons in Photoshop Elements 10

    Was using Photoshop Elements 10 on my windows vista with no problems. Just got a new computer with Windows 7 and moved Elements 10 with no installation error messages.
    Just tried to edit some pictures and all the tool bars and icons are so tiny - extremely hard to read. Tried adjusting the text size to 150% in control panel but it did not change anything in Elements.
    Is there a setting that can be readjusted - do I need to uninstall and reinstall with some setting tweaks??
    Please help!!!!

    You need to use the default, 100% screen font size in Windows to prevent problems like tool cursors and menu bars not displaying correctly.
    There's no way to adjust PSE's font size or icon size.

  • Photoshop Elements 6:   Could not use type tool because the file could not be found

    Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 well for a while.
    Tried to use the Type Tool to overlay text and obtained this error:
    Could not use the type tool because the file could not be found
    After research, I reset all tools, tried to repair (failed: insert disc one), and then removed/re-installed.  Still have the same problem.
    Are the system fonts corrupt or is an Adobe .ini file suspect?
    Other reports have suggested using a 3rd-party font manager to inspect/disable fonts.
    First wanted to post this error here for feedback/recommendations
    Any suggestion on how to recover the Type Tool functionality?

    Adobe Photoshop Elements Repair Workaround
    When trying to repair the well-known:  insert disc one, error occurred.  Was able to successfully repair the installation by dragging the entire Adobe Photoshop Elements directory from the original CD-ROM onto a hard drive and executing locally.  Seems it does not like repairing over the CD-ROM but it works correctly if the install source is on disc...

    John,
    Yesterday, I decided to completely remove all Adobe products:  PSE 6, Premiere 4, Reader, ActiveX plugins & legacy/old uninstalled product directories that Adobe has left turd-lets around including old Acrobat 3/6 directories.  Used A/D Software to remove all adobe products and then followed your instructions AND the instructions on Adobe's support web site to manually remove these products.
    It boiled down to manually removing the entire Adobe directory in Progam Files, "saving" the entire Adobe directory structure in each users (3) Document and Settings in the Application Data and Local Settings (as instructed by you and Adobe) and rebooting.
    I also saved the local All Users "configuration" database/cache that contained the Tag and other information to make sure the system was clean
    This included following the manual Regit instructions to remove legacy Adobe registry hives.  I deleted all keys for all Adobe product trees that I could locate (following instructions from Adobe).
    Reboot
    Scheduled a CHCKDSK on all drives and rebooted
    Dragged my complete image library to an archive location and deleted them on the C: drive
    Did a complete system Defrag
    Re-installed Adobe and alas still have the same problem with the Type Tool....
    The only thing I did not do was selectively remove the "fonts" because various instructions seemed to indicate many are "required" by the windows or other applications and I was not really sure how to identify which ones were safe to remove w/o affecting the core system..  I'll have to re-read these instructions next.
    Microsoft has a "Font Validator" tool, but that only checks 1 font at a time and you have to read the "results".  May look for other tools.
    Will be able to check the font structure this weekend since it will take some research before I'm comfortable just removing fonts in trial/error mode.  I'll need to make a backup image of my computer before I start this (just in case).
    Thanks for follow-ups too!

  • Adobe photoshop elements 9 . i cannot get the circle to appear on clone stamp tool and spot healing

    adobe photoshop elements 9 , i cannot get the circle  to appear using clone stamp tool and the spot healing brush . i`ve tried restating my computer and unloading and loading the adobe disc . but still no good .

    I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
    1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
    2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
    3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
    4. Click ok.
    Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
    P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Pen tool

    I recently bought Photoshop elements 10, and cant sem to find the Pen Tool. I know its stupid and simple but could someone tell me where it is?

    There is a Freeform Pen Tool (Text on a Custom Path Tool) that has some of features that the Freeform Pen Tool in photoshop has, but not a true pen tool per se.
    You can even use it to modify shape layers and stroke paths with some of the painting tools like the brush tool.
    I guess it depends on how want to use it, whether you find it suitable or not.

  • Moving Tool not working in Photoshop Elements 12 in Yosemite

    Hello, my moving tool for Photoshop 12 in Yosemite is not working. When I drag an object in the layer, it keeps snapping back to the center.  I've tried closing other programs, rebooting, different files, made a new file, made new layers, nothing.
    The only thing that works to free up the moving tool is using Command T.  I see the bar with align center etc. which works but it won't let me free move the position with the move tool.
    Is this a glitch? Is something configured wrong? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!
    Regards,
