Photoshop painting problem..
I have the brush and the layer set to 100% opacity and the layer is set to normal but it's not coming out normal.. I choose a pink color and stroke somewhere and it comes off as a highlighter yellow and looks like it's about 20% opacity in other places on the layer the color doesn't even show up.. I take a pink color and color over a black and it turns red.. and other places it's completely normal.Also i can erase a color and then paint in that spot but if i don't erase first it won't let me paint there.
How do i fix this?
Btw I've tried checking my layers brush settings and opacity all fine.
I'm using photoshop CS6
Is your brush in color mode: normal? A pink brush set to vivid light over black woudl go red on an RGB file.
Check your brush palette that nothign is checkined such as color dynamics.

New hard drive and photoshop license problem
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.5 Ghz Pentium processor, 2 GB of RAM, and Win Xp/Pro SP3.
The hard drive in this computer failed, and it has been replaced. I used an image backup from Acronis True Image 10 to "restore" the new disk.
Now, when I try to open Phostoshop CS2, I receive a message that the license is no longer valid (I have been using this version of Photoshop for a long time).
I don't have this problem with InDesign CS3 (v. 5.0.2), FrameMaker 7.2b144, or Acrobat 8.1.6.
I didn't find any helpful info on the "Product Activation" web page.
I tried a forum search and a search of Adobe.com using the search criteria "new hard drive and photoshop license problem."
The only relevant item I could find is this:
"Backup and restoration of your system using standard tools do not require reactivation. While reactivation after backing up or restoring the system was required in early versions of Adobe software (such as Adobe Photoshop® CS), Adobe has continued to improve the activation process with new technology that eliminates the need to reactivate after system restoration. In complex situations where the system is being upgraded, we recommend deactivating the Adobe software before commencing the system upgrade. Once the system upgrade is completed, the subsequent install/restore will require reactivation, which is typically accomplished without difficulty and is completely transparent to the user."
So does that mean I have to "reactivate" Photoshop CS2? If so, do I use the Activation window that is displayed when I open Photoshop? The serial number has 20 characters. Will the Adobe (re)activation recognize this old serial number? If not, what do I have to do to get this product usable again?
Please help.>replaced your hard drive and CS2 DRM is looking for the old hard drive number and not finding it
Interesting... I use http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm which creates a bootable CD and runs outside of Windoze
I have made image files and loaded those files to a new hard drive (I use drive swap hardware to make a backup and create a new drive every time I install or uninstall major software) and have never had any program complain about needing activation
But, since the program I use is Linux on a bootable CD, it copies EVERYTHING on a hard drive, even the hidden registration areas as far as I can tell, so when I do a restore to a new drive, everything is put on the new drive -
I have installed photoshop cs6 on my computer (Windows 7) but the programm is a bit useless since it can't create or open files.
I tryed reinstalling all my adobe programms 3 times but photoshop still won't work.
Do you have an idea how I can make the programm work?
thanks in advanceThanks for you email, I finally went to an informatician today. We
finally found out that even if windows 7 sais the drivers are up to date
the driver that is managin to switsch between the two graphic cards
wasn't up to date. We downloaded it from the website and photoshop works
now perfectly well.
Thanks for your help!

Photoshop CS2 problems after updating to 10.4.5.?
Anybody notice Photoshop CS problems after updating to 10.4.5.?
Hello I had the same problem
I found the following information that helped me.....
Program errors occur when software conflicts arise due to an updated operating system. You can resolve these errors when you also update the driver software that causes the conflict or when you update the operating system. Program errors can also occur because of a damaged Photoshop preference file, or if there is a problem with a phone or internet connection. The Apple Disk Utility fixes file system errors that can also cause program errors.
Error "Could not complete your request..." or "Could not create a new document..." (Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X v10.4)
Issue
Adobe Photoshop CS2 returns one of the following error messages:
"Could not complete your request because of a program error" when you try to open a file.
"Could not create a new document because of a program error" when you try to create a new file.
Solution 1:
Install the most recent update to Mac OS.
Solution 2:
Re-create your preferences files.
1. Hold CommandOptionShift when you start Photoshop.
2. Click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Solution 3:
Disconnect your Internet connection.
To disconnect your Internet connection, do one of the following:
If you are connected to the Internet via a telephone modem, then disconnect from the modem.
If you are connected to the Internet via cable modem or DSL, then disconnect the ethernet cable from your computer.
Solution 4:
Use a disk repair utility.
Restart your Mac in Single User mode and run fsck -fy . For more information about the fsck command, please visit the Apple website at http:/docs.info.apple.comarticle.html?artnum=106214 .
Solution 5:
Ensure that all your drivers are compatible with Mac OS X v10.4.
Determine if your printer and video card (and any other peripherals you might have) are compatible with Mac OS X v10.4, and visit the manufacturers' websites to update the drivers.
Solution 6:
Re-create your printers in Mac OS X.
To re-create your printers, first delete them and then add them again.
To delete your printers:
1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
2. Select Print & Fax, and click Printing.
3. Select each printer in the list and click the delete key (the minus key).
For instructions on how to add your printers again, see "Setting up to print to a printer" in Mac Help or search Help using the phrase "add a printer."
The one that fixed it for me was solution 6 -- re-creating my printers
I don't know why but it could be worth a try
Good luck

I have successfully installed Photoshop CS6 to my computer. However, when I open the front page to CS6 everything "freezes up", and I cannot open any of the tabs - not even the file or close tabs.
Have uninstalled and re-installed the CS6 several times with no effect. Am installing from a boxed disc that I purchased from Adobe.
Ted WolfeGot it solved by going by adding the latest updates to CS6.

Is anyone else experiencing repaint problems with RC1? I've seen two intermittent things so far:
1) When a modal JDialog is shown above its owner window, the contents of the owner window are being painted inside the JDialog
2) Scroll bars (JScrollPane) are not being repainted properly when window is resized. Phantom scroll buttons remain at the old position.
Any others out there?My JDK 1.4.0 Swing application does not paint very well on 2 out of 4 NT / SP5-6machines tested. Its OK on 2 machines and NOT OK on 2 others... The machines have mixture of different graphics cards.
The base problem reminds me of 'running out of paint handles' in Win 3.1 days... i.e. the GUI fails to refresh and gets cluttered with 'random' strips, streched painting, general 'junk' that won't clear. Its quite serious because when the application window is moved the edit-box / buttons etc don't necessarily move at same time and get partially 'off the window' and stop working. Minimize/Maximize and drag overs by other apps don't clear it. The problem seems to get worse the longer the application is executed and seems to be even worse when there's more than 1 window up a time... i.e. it almost seems like 'lack of horsepower' in CPU but these machines are PIII 400MHZ with OK RAM so there should be enough CPU.
Note that JDK 1.3 'corrects' the problem - i.e. running same code on JDK 1.3 (instead of JDK 1.4) works just fine and does NOT have the paint problems.
ANY HELP APPRECIATED!! -

A. Backup before doing anything advanced is recommended but not widely used.
B. Upgrade on vanilla plain (and updated) operatiing system goes flawlessly. Upgrade on "real" computer may depend on "status" of operating system and applications installed. You may not be the last experiencing troubles.

Help Please, with Annoying painting problem.
Hi:
I keep running in to this annoying problem:
Swing Components not being re-drawn properly after:
Windows turns on the screensaver
or to a lesser degree if the Java program is Iconified / deiconified.
Components with Images on them get corrupted and the image is not drawn properly, maybe just the top cm or so, but it is annoying..
And I can't figure out what or if anything I am doing wrong.
It happens in a few of my applications.........
mostly those wher I have overidden paintComponent()
If someone would like to see if they have the same thing happen, below is an example that demonstrates the problem.
You will probably need to fiddle with you power settings so that you monitor blanks after 1 min. to avoid having to wait too long.
Run the program, wait for screen to blank out, bring screen back,...
If the java picture is not corrupt try re-sizing the JFrame and see what happens.
I am using Win98SE
I have Java:
java version "1.4.2-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-beta-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-beta-b19, mixed mode)
I would appreciate someone trying this out. Even if it doesn't happen for them.
Or maybe there is a glaring Error in my code.... And if so I could fix it..
Here is an exmple program to demonstrate this.
Two classes, The JPanel was obviously meant to do other things but I cut it down..
The main:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Container;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import java.net.*;
public class Test extends JFrame

Photoshop CS6: Problem - paint bucket
Hello,
I am used to work with Photoshop. Unfortunately there is a bug in the paint bucket tool of Photoshop CS6. I made all updates up to 13.0.1 (x64).
Description: The paint bucket tool is very tricky to use now. If you want to fill a certain empty area of a picture with a simple color, it often does not do that. My clicks are totally correct, also the position ... but it does not take it. Somtimes I have to zoom insome 100% untill my clicks are successful and the desired areas are filled with color.
I hope that Adobe can release an update to fix that problem.
Kind regards
Ameeonhmmm ... but now it works.
maybe I am not used to the black arrow symbol ...
Has someone experienced the same problem? -
How can two pictures of the same size still appear to be a different size? (Photoshop CS6 problem)
I called the big webdesign file "(X)" and the image I wanted to paste in it "(Y)",
so that you won't be confused when you read it.
What Happened
For the design of a webpage, I made a photoshop-file(X) with a lot of squares(X). These squares(X) had the size 9,42×9,42 centimeters.
I measured the squares(X) carefully and also made sure the size was in centimeters, so I am sure that the size was 9,42×9,42 cm.
My plan was to fill the squares(X) with pictures(Y). I had a map on my computer with a lot of square-sized JPG-images(Y) in it. All I had
to do was open the pictures(Y) in photoshop, change the size into 9,42×9,42 centimeters and copy+paste them into the squares(X)
of the webdesign. I did this before and it worked perfectly.
But then, I opened one of the images(Y) and when I wanted to resize it, the resize-tool said it was only 3,25×3,25 centimeters big.
I thought it was strange, so I copied+pasted it into the design-file(X) with all the squares(X) that needed to be filled. Allthough photoshop
had told me that the squares(X) in the file were 9,42×9,42 centimeters big and the image(Y) I resized was 3,25×3,25, the "small" image(Y)
turned out to be bigger then the squares(X). And when I resized the "small" image(Y) into 9,42×9,42 centimeters, it was even bigger
than it was before. How can this be, and how can I still make the images(X&Y) the same size?
What I already tried
- I made the file of the webdesign(X) with all the squares(X) into one layer, copied the file(X) and opened a new file(X) with the same
measurements of the old file(X). I also changed the resolution of the file(X) into pixels/centimeters instead of pixels/inches.
Then I pasted the image(X) of the old file into the new file. I didn't work; the image(X) that I pasted in the new file was bigger and
when I pasted the other picture(Y) in this image, the same problem was still there.
- I also opened the picture(Y) in photoshop, made a screenshot of it and then pasted the screenshot into paint. With paint I cropped
it again and saved it as a JPEG-file. After that, I opened the image (Y) in photoshop again. It now had the size of 11,27×11,27 centimeters.
Then I resized the image(Y) into 9,42×9,42 cm, but it still wasn't as big as the squares(X).
Could you help me please?
I really don't understand why this problem is happening and I can't think of a solution because I am still quite unexperienced with photoshop
and I also couldn't find the answer on the internet. I assume the solution is very simple, but I haven't found it yet allthough I have to finish this
project soon and I also have to use the image(Y). So any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
SimoneYou need to understand the basic of a digital image.
Image is recorded as pixels and image is a rectangle so many pixels wide and so many pixel high. Pixels do not have a fixed size. The images resolution setting defines the image current pixel size.
So for example if you have and image that is 300 pixel wide and 200 pixels high and set its dip resolution to 100DPI the image size is 3" wide and 2" high. Set its dip setting tp 300DPI the image size becomes 1" wide by 2/3" high. Both the 3" x 2" and the 1"x2/3" images have the same 60000 RGB Colored Pixels.
Web pages are sized to to be so many pixel wide and so many pixel high. Often the height is not enforced scrolling is used when viewing.
However image for web pages often must not exceed so many pixel wide and high for displays have a fixed resolution and a fixed number of Pixels. You want images to fit on users displays. Users use different displays some have high resolution displays and other have low resolution displays with far fewer pixels then high resolution displays.
Web Image are normally image that have been interpolated down in number of pixels a resampled large image so that web image will fit on a low resolution display with limited number of pixels. The image size the user see depend on the display they are currently using. A low resolution display's image will be much larger then the same image displayed on a nexus 10 with a 300dip display. Cheep low cost Desktop LCD have a 84DIP resolution, large high cost desktop displays are not be much higher in resolution somewhere near 108DPI. Tablets, Laptop and Phones can have much higher resolution like the nexus 10 300DPI IPS display -
Photoshop painting black when I'm not using black?
Okay so this just started yesterday. I was painting in photoshop and starting to color what I had drawn but for some reason it starts painting some black into the color I'm using. I have no idea why it's doing that. I do everything in separate layers and I hadn't even colored anything in black yet as you can see in the pic below. I do use a wacom tablet but I dont think it's doing it because of that. I just tested that theory by using my regular mouse and it still paints black. I do have to add, it's not the whole thing that gets painted black, it's just certain parts. Also, I use PS cs6. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Have a look at the brush mode in the Options bar
[EDIT] Just to add that if you had tried painting outside that beige colour, I think you'd have guessed straight away that it was a blend mode problem. -
Photoshop 3D Problems with displaying shadows and wireframe
Hi there,
I need to create some textures for 3D objects for our semester project in uni and it's quite practical to do that in Photoshop. I'd like to paint on the 2D texture (new window) and check from time to time if everything fits. But I got two problems that make it quite hard:
1. Problem occures when using my Laptop: There are almost no shadows. I tried to play around with the settings, but it doesn't affect the displayed model in any way. It always looks the same way you can see here:
My Laptop is probably not the best system, but it actually fits the minimum system requirements. Nevertheless I think my graphics chip might be not good enough, or what do you think?
Dell Vostro 3350, Windows 7 64 bit, Intel Core i3-2330MCPU @ 2.20GHz, 8GB RAM (2GB VRAM), Intel HD 3000, 1TB SSHD.
2. Problem: I also tried to work on my Dad's PC, which doesn't have such a good graphics card but is in total much better than my laptop of course:
Windows 7 64 bit, Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 12 GB RAM, ATI FirePro V3800 (FireGL V) (512MB VRAM).
The Problem that occures when using my Dads PC is: It somehow cannot show me the wireframe of the object (that would work with my laptop -.-). When I go to the menu 3D most of the options are grey and always not clickable. Same for the 3d --> create painting overlay --> wireframe (I need that). I've seen it in a Youtube Tutorial that it actually SHOULD work. I created a new texture for the model, went to "Edit Texture", it opens the texture in 2D in a new window without showing the wireframe (and I also cannot use the function under 3D painting overlay). When I open the texture with my laptop, it immediately shows me the wireframe ...
Those two problems make it almost impossible for me two work on the textures. If I could at least work on one of the two systems ...
So if anyone has an idea how I could solve at least one problem, I'd be really happy. I need to hurry a bit ... those technical problems already cost me a lot of time and I don't want to miss our project's deadline. :S
Thanks in advance!Please! Anyone? I could really need help!
