Photoshop error using pen

I came across an error in Photoshop CC when combining using the pen tool and rotating the canvas.
1) Create a new photoshop document
2) Draw an ellipse using the ellipse tool. Select ellipse
3) Select the pen tool. Make sure combine shapes is selected. Draw a triangle which intersects the ellipse.
4) Select Image/Image Rotation/90 CW
Result: the triangle will rotate with the canvas but the ellipse will not.

I can confirm the issue. It's clearly a bug. Image rotation should rotate everything as it is in fact the whole canvas that is rotating.
It works ok in CS6.
I experimented a bit. Same thing happens with multiple paths (eg. ellipse tool). Only the last drawn path rotates.

Photoshop CS3, using pen tool to make selection or path without any color

OK, here is my problem. I'm using CS3 photoshop right now. Last time I was using it regularly was in 2001, so it was version 5 or 6. At that time you could use the pen tool to make a selection or a path without ANY color. I'm trying to cut out something that needs precision (therefore the pen tool) but I need to be able to see what I'm doing. Therefore, would prefer no color option. This used to be easy, with paths, it was the default.
Can't figure it out now, HELP is no help. And, the User Guide is no longer available on Adobe.com. Looked for the one for the CS4 suite, not much much luck there either. I can call them tomorrow about that. *Right now, all I'm trying to do is put together a little pasted together thing for my niece. Two stuffed animals with antlers and santa hats on a Xmas background. Everything is done but cutting out around the stuffed animals. They need their little tufts of stuffing, so I need a tool that can create a smooth path without blocking what I'm doing with color.* Any help will me appreciated. I've tried for days to figure this out on my own, since last time I posted, I figured it out before someone responded. And, the response was quick, so I didn't want to waste anyone's time.
The pdf user guide for this is unavailable, I just ordered a book to help me with the stuff I can't figure out by myself. Thanks for everyone's quick help. –Suze

Suze,
I too use CS3 and I may be confused about your post. If so, I apologize for wasting any reader's time.
When I need a precision tool for rotoscoping a subject, I usually choose the Polygonal Lasso tool. Of all the Lasso tools, using the polygonal is the most labor intensive, but gives you the highest degree of control. With a little practice you can get quite good at it. If necessary, blow up the image to help you see what you are doing.
-- Duplicate the background layer
-- Rotoscope the subject
-- Click Refine Edge and adjust Radius, Contrast, Contract/Expand, Smooth and Feather to taste
-- Choose New>Layer via Copy or Cut
-- Hide background layer(s) and Save As or Move this layer onto your original graphic.
There may be other ways of doing it but this is what works for me. I hope that helps.

Photoshop CS4: Using pen tool to add corner anchors instead of curve anchors

Hello folks, I have searched all the resources I could think of using different phrasings, but have yet to figure out how to do this or if it can be done. I am working on a project that requires adding many corner anchors to paths. By default, using the pen tool in Photoshop CS4 adds curve anchors. Thus requiring me to add the anchor and then convert it to a corner. Is there some easy way to make PS create corners instead of curves with the pen tool? Even using the shift-cntl-alt-click combos didn't help? Would save me time and sanity!
Thanks all,
- DK

I think if you just click and don't move the mouse before you let off the mouse button you get corner anchors, no? But that's when you're creating the path. I guess you want to add corner anchors with the Add Anchor Point Tool?

Use iPad as a 2nd monitor or graphics tablet with Photoshop/Wacom Bamboo Pen?

Can iPad be used as a 2nd monitor or graphics tablet with Photoshop/Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet?
I called Wacom as asked this question but the guy was clueless, and I'm sure they'd rather have you spend $1000 on their Cintiq instead of $29.95 on a Pen.... I figure I'll get more use out of an iPad and save around $400...
Or maybe this is jsut a far fetched idea...

Hiya
I am not quite sure of how this product works, but it might be wortha try:

Does Photoshop Elements use the GPU?

I cannot find a difinitive statement as to whether Photoshop Elements uses the GPU or not. I am about to buy a new computer and I am trying to determine if I should spend the money to get a higher end graphics card or not. The two options in the computer I am looking at are the Nvidia Quadro K1000M and K2000M, both with 2Gb. The K2000M is $250 more and I need to decide if it will provide better performance with Elements. Thanks.

Some software use the computer’s GPU (addition to or in place of the CPU) in order to complete its given task in a shorter period of time. Photoshop is an example of one of these applications; it uses the GPU instead of the CPU to complete its tasks faster. 3DS Max is another example. It uses all available cores to render faster.
Now you might be thinking those all have to do with graphics... Well... Doesn’t imovie have to do with graphics, too? I mean utilizing the GPU to encode video is a good idea IMO. Even if you don’t associate iMovie with graphics, and somehow think it’s impossible for it to ever take advantage of a GPU, what about the other software that’s completely unrelated to graphics and video encoding? The legality or intentions of the software is questionable... (ie wireless network auditing) But regardless, it still takes advantage of the GPU to accelerate its tasks to incredible speeds. If stuff like that can do it, why can’t a program designed for processing video do it?
Anyway, I won’t be able to tell you if adobe makes NTSC discs or not. I already have toast 10 which I just discovered it burns NTSC DVD discs and even Blu Ray video discs without returning a demuxing error every other video. And to think it was only useful for burning data discs. It doesn’t use the GPU either, but it seems to encode DVD video considerably faster than iDVD.

Photoshop CS5.5 pen location problems! Window 7 64-bit

When using pen in Photoshop it all of a sudden shows up somewhere different than the curser shows. I go back and continue a couple times and it go somewhere different again. Use shift and pen and sometimes it takes off on a 45% angle. Tried restarting Photoshop and it starts out OK but after awhile it goes off again. Any ideas?

Best of luck in not seeing the problem return, but it's been my experience that problems that go away by themselves come back by themselves.
Something's different about your system with regard to mouse events vs. most systems, as a very basic problem such as what you're showing would make Photoshop completely unusable.
Post back if you see the problem again and maybe you can try things like disabling the OpenGL Drawing setting to see if maybe what you're seeing is a secondary problem caused by an earlier display driver glitch.

How to add a 'stoke path' using 'pen tool' on CS6 (mac)?

I'm a beginner at photoshop and I'm only 14 years old. I need to know this for my GCSE project.
I'm trying to create something similar to this:
Using pen tool and stroke path, but when i use the pen tool I'm not sure how to add the stroke path like that.
I've used CS4 previously at school and when you right clicked on the path it came up with this:
I haven't a clue how to get that up on CS6 (on mac) and when you right click it, it just seems to continue adding the path. Any help?

Entering Time Machine From Mail Gives Photoshop Error!

Hello everybody,
This is a very strange one: If I enter Time Machine when Mail is in front, and if Photoshop is opened, I always get this error from Photoshop: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
What happens is this:
• I choose the Enter Time Machine command (Entrer dans Time Machine in French, in fact).
• I hear a beep, but the computer goes right into Time Machine, without a hitch.
• I can do anything I want in TM.
• After that, when I activate Photoshop, I see the Photoshop error dialog. I close this dialog and Photoshop works perfectly well.
This happens whether a file is opened in Photoshop or not. It does not happen when Photoshop is in front, +*it happens only when Mail is in front*+.
I am puzzled...
RTP

Hi joshz,
Thanks for jumping in. Well, this is most surprising. There is no record of any error caused by this, no reference to this one way or the other, no error of any kind... I searched with different keywords, Adobe, Photoshop, Time Machine, TM, Mail, to no avail. Anyway it's easy as I can reproduce this error dialog at will: With Mail in front, I enter TM, hear the beep coming from Photoshop (!!!), get out of TM and there it is in Photoshop.
Then I look into the console. An error reported by this event should be the last one and dated correctly, right? Well, there is nothing new.
What literally baffles me is the fact that this happens only when Mail is the active application when I enter TM. I tried every other combination to no avail.
Other info about memory in my answer to orangekay.
I must say that it was very thoughtful of you to translate your post in French. I do appreciate the courtesy. And yes, your French is certainly acceptable, taking into account that it is not your mother tongue and that you probably do not use it very often. The reason why I mentioned the command name in French is that I was not sure of the exact name in English as my OS is in French. OK, I speak it with what my Hoosier friends call "an accent". But then I tell them... "Look who's talking!"

I have noticed while using pen tool that I have to wait before the small square appears.

I have noticed while using pen tool that I have to wait before the small square appears. Tenth of a second, but this is disturbing on a daily basis. Is there any solution?

It seems that in your version of InDesign, the image preview is grayed out while you are editing the picture frame with the pen tool. Not the case with my version of CS5 for macintosh.
But I think this is a bad way to work. If you want the path only to affect text wrap, then edit the text wrap path. This is more versatile than editing the frame because you can have text appear over part of the image visible below text. This of a bird in flight in a light sky. The text wrap can surround the bird so text can appear in the sky. Your method does not permit this.
If you are editing the frame’s path because you also want to crop the image, then you’d be better off doing that in Photoshop by adding either a clipping path in the Paths panel or a mask in the Layers panel. If it’s an Illustrator file then add a clipping mask.
I find InDesign’s pen tool and general path editing to be significantly inferior to Illustrator’s. If I need to have an editable path in InDesign that I would draw much more easily in Illustrator, then I do that and copy the path back. It comes in as a simple unassigned frame, which I can then convert to a picture frame or a text frame and copy/paste the contents into the new frame. That may suit you if the above suggestions are inappropriate.

Photoshop stops using RAM after 2GB on 64-bit system

Hi everyone,
A customer of mine has a problem when he tries to open a pdf document in photoshop. This document is only 50MB large, but Photoshop displays the message "could not complete your request, not enough memory (ram)" when he tries to open this.
It is a windows 7 x64 system with 6GB of RAM. When the file is being opened, in process explorer you can see that photoshop is using more and more RAM untill it reaches the point of just above 2GB. Then photoshop displays this message.
The system still has 30% free RAM memory left, but adobe won't use this memory.
I have contacted adobe support with this issue and followed some kb's (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404439.html) but still no joy.
The last time I called, they said that there was nothing else to do.. So hope some of you guys on the forums can help me resolve this issue!
Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Sven

Yes, I took the Resaved_pdf.pdf from Dropbox.
When I open this file in Illustrator the resolution is 150 ppi
When opening Resaved_pdf.pfd in Acrobat Pro and exporting images while allowing Acrobat to determine the Colorspace & Resolution automatically it shows the resolution (as displayed in Photoshop) of the resulting base image as 149 ppi. Obviously Acrobat has a slight rounding error when determining the size and resolution, 149 ppi vs 150 ppi and the pixels dimensions are slightly smaller.
I believe that the lower resolutions shown about are the result of the default setting of the PDF Optimizer in Acrobat that were using to optimize the Resaved_pdf.pdf
When I took the PDF provided by the Original Poster at: http://attachments.webng.com/data/pdf.pdf
and opened in Illustrator the base image is 300 ppi
When opening the original PDF in Acrobat and exporting images while allowing Acrobat to determine the Colorspace & Resolution automatically it shows the resolution (as displayed in Photoshop) of the resulting base image as 299 ppi. Obviously Acrobat has a slight rounding error when determining the size and resolution, 299 ppi vs 300 ppi and the pixels dimensions are slightly smaller.
These results should be reproducible by anyone who wants to take a crack at it.

Hi Erika,
I came to Lightroom quite recently (in the last month!) from Photoshop Elements 11. I like the organization features in LR better, but for adjustments such as the ones that you mentioned I would leave LR and go back to Photoshop Elements 11, primarily because that is what I know. I don't use the subscription service, mainly because I already owned and installed the boxed version of Photoshop Elements 11 and adding it to a subscription service with Lightroom seemed redundant. I am sure someone in the community will (or has) comment(ed) that it is possible to whiten teeth and cure blemishes within LR, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Check out the TV Adobe free tutorials, particularly Julianne Kost's tutorials. She has a good presentation style and you might find the LR answer that you need with detailed instructions.
