PLEASE PHOTOSHOP HELP

would someone please be kind enough to help me with a photoshop question..
i am trying to draw a shape...square, rectangle, ellipse...whatever in photoshop
when i drag out the shape, it DOES NOT create the shape, it just makes the outline of it, no fill options nothing
it dOES NOT create a new layer in photoshop or anything or even have editable properties....
this is a full licensed version....
help...anyone?

Aside from the obvious fact that this is probably not the correct forum to post a question about Photoshop...
There are 3 options for the shape tool. Those options can be found at the top of the screen in the shape tool "toolbar". The choices are Shape Layers, Paths, or Fill Pixels.
Shape Layers and Fill Pixels seem similar at a glance but do different things. Check your manual for clarification. You probably want it set to Shape Layers.
Currently, it sounds as if you have it set to Paths which draws the path but doesn't fill it in with a color or anything else. That way, you can alter the path or create a selection from it or any number of things.
Best advice to give you is to pick up a Photoshop book if you intend to do any drawing with it.

  • Please need help with Updating photoshop CS6

    I want to update my PS CS6 because it quits unexpectly over and over but when I want to update , the updates goes up to 16,7 % and then update fails.. why and how can  i do it, anybody knows please ??

    Try Restoring Preferences.
    Photoshop Help | Preferences
    If that doesn't clear up the problem, use the CS Cleaner Tools in preparation for a software re-install.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

    for best choice
    thanks

    As far as acquiring news versions goes, the only benefit you will get from owning CS4 is that you can get a Creative Cloud subscription at a special rate for the first year.  https://creative.adobe.com/#plans
    Otherwise, since CS4 is not in the upgrade path for CS6 products, you can purchase CS6 applications at full price.

  • Setup problem please anyone help ~~ me !!!

    i was trying to setup adobe photoshop and i clicked setup.exe (file picture display like as a white paper) and it told me to choose application. so i dont know how to change or choose which program .. please anyone help me out on this..

    Photoshop is an application that must be purchased (not available via a download) and isn't cheap.
    You must purchase the OS X (Tiger compatible) version of Photoshop.
    Check Apple's online store under software or do a Google search.

  • Why can't we get Adobe Photoshop help on the weekends. If I buy it I should be able to use it.

    Why can't we get Adobe Photoshop help on the weekends. If I buy it I should be able to use it.

    To all frustrated Photoshop users:
    As has been pointed out, the Adobe Photoshop Forum is NOT staffed by Adobe employees (though a few engineers DO stop by, when they have the time), and we are but users, such as yourself. The difference is that many users here have decades of experience with Ps, and can often solve all sorts of issues, of a technical nature.
    Ranting, and listing bad experiences with Adobe Technical Support (or Customer Support), will NOT reach Adobe - just other users, who might have also had negative experiences with Adobe T/S, but who are powerless to change anything, at a corporate level - also noted by others in this thread.
    We, as users, have no access to any communications that you might have had with T/S - no phone logs, no case numbers, nothing. All that we have is what YOU provide us, regarding YOUR problem. In that vein, if you read this FAQ Entry, plus the one linked in Station_Two's Reply above, and clearly state YOUR problem with the program, someone will attempt to help you with it: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4587299#4587299
    Please be patient, as we are all volunteers (even the Adobe engineers come here on their own time - it's most likely not part of their job descriptions), and drop by the forum, when we have a moment. Many users DO have "day jobs," and face client deadlines. They might not get by that often, and then with breaks in timing, that can extend for days. This is not a "live chat room," where "operators are standing by." However, with the number of contributing users here, it should not take too long, before someone DOES reply to your post. If they have questions, please answer them, to the best of your abilities, and do not hesitate to ask for clarifications, if you are not sure what they are asking, or where to obtain that information. Also, please be courteous, when replying to the users, who are donating their time - they get zero, beyond the satisfaction of helping other users get answers and solutions. If they DO help, which is likely, a simple "thank you," is the best that they can receive. If they DO help, please take a moment to let them know, and also use the "Correct," and "Helpful" buttons in the forum, to let Adobe Corporate know that you got help in the Adobe Forums - they DO count those numbers, though they do not monitor these forums.
    Good luck, and many feel that the help FROM the Adobe products forums, is much better, than from Adobe Technical Support.

  • Access Photoshop "Help" without launching Adobe AIR?

    Is there a way to access Photoshop Help, from the Help menu, without installing or launching Adobe AIR?
    I'm not a mobile app developer, plus I've been seeing many security concerns and other problems related to Adobe AIR, like log files filling up hard drives.
    Also, I really don't like installing or opening apps on my computer that are not necessary and don't seem safe.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    AIR gets installed with your point product, but you will get AIR update notifications, at launch of an AIR app, if it's outdated.
    If you really don't want to use the AIR based Help app, then you can change a preference in said app. This will change the way Help is called from Ps and launch directly to the web based Help content in your default browser. You can also download the PDF help content if you don't have internet connection or would like to print out some content.
    To change the Help launch target, first launch the AIR based app via Help> Photoshop Help... (cmd+/) Then at the top menu bar, go to Adobe Help> Preferences (cmd+,). In this dialog (see screen shot below) go to the Accessibility Mode: section and select the 'Open Help in browser' radio button. Now close the dialog via Done button, and quit the application.
    You may need to relaunch Ps, I'm not sure.
    regards,
    steve

  • Photoshop help: I don't know what to call this (screenshot)

    Hi there,
    I primarily use photoshop to paint, and today had a very odd thing happen which I do not understand in the least.
    I was working on a piece, back ground later unchanged, medium grey on top of that, and a third layer set to multiply where I was drawing in black and white.
    I must have hit some funny keys, because, after I use the lasso tool to select part of the drawing on the third layer (multiply) what happened was that the grey background layer moved. When I moved it there was an off light red colour underneath.
    Screenshot: http://s111.photobucket.com/albums/n146/Chax424/?action=view&current=Screenshot2010-07-21a t44738PM.png
    (NOTE: For the screenshot I turned off the grey layer, instead a would be white background is moving. I have no idea where it or the red colour came from.)
    Another odd thing was that it seemed as though there was some sort of mask-esque situation going on, when I selected the colour black and tried to paint it cut into the white layer.
    Screenshot: http://s111.photobucket.com/albums/n146/Chax424/?action=view&current=Screenshot2010-07-21a t44752PM.png
    The opposite happened with the colour white.
    Screenshot:http://s111.photobucket.com/albums/n146/Chax424/?action=view&current=Screenshot2010-07-21a t44746PM.png
    Please, any help would be appreciated. I cannot selected anything and therefore cannot save the line sketch I mate. Granted it only took 7 to 10 min, but I would like to save it and, well, finish it.
    Thank you,
    Cheers

    If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted.  The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

  • My phone 5s did the new update and will not come back on. I already tried hard reboot still won't work. Been over a hour now. Please someone help I need my phone.

    My phone 5s 16gb gold did the new update and will not come back on. I already tried hard reboot still won't work. Been over a hour now. Please someone help I need my phone.   This phone is not even 6 months old been in case no scratches. This is driving me crazy.

    Connect your phone to a computer and restore your software using iTunes.

  • Ever since the new update, my Ipod won't sync. Starts to sync but then goes back to connected eject before disconnecting. Still won't transfer songs even after being restored. Restored fine. But now I've got nothing on it. Please god help!

    For awhile, since the newest update, I'd noticed when charging the ipod (classic) that it stopped going to the charging screen and would stay on the  Connected: Eject before disconnecting' screen. But, y'know, didn't matter to me, it still charged... until today when I tried to add music. Tried it many times, reset it... STILL wouldn't transfer songs... It would 'say' it was syncing, but then suddenly stop and stay on the same Connect: please eject before disconnecting' page. I did a couple of times get a message about scanning it but, after restoring that never popped up again...
    So, I do a system restore on it and ofcourse THAT works, but it STILL won't sync! So, now I've got an ipod with no music that won't sync and because it's all gone on there, I'm not sure how to back up my stuff (should I need to re-install iTunes... Though I doubt it'd work...)... So, yeah, I tried a different cable too, still no luck...
    There has GOT to be some way to fix this!
    Please somebody help me out! I so freaking appreciate it you have NO idea!

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • 25k Limit in iTunes Match? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!

    I have been collecting music steadily for almost 25 years now. In 2009, before selling them on eBay, I had over 2,000 CDs in my collection. At that point I ripped them all into iTunes and stored the files on an external drive. I have continued to steadily collect music since then...ripping CDs borrowed from friends, free (and legal) downloads, bit torrent concert DLs from places like Archive.org and yes, many purchases from the iTunes store. 
    Currently I have 45,962 songs, weighing in at just shy of 264 GB. I have a 260 GB iPod Classic which I LOVE, but unfortunately outgrew quite some time ago (260 actually means 241 or so). Needless to say, I have very eclectic taste in music, and one thing I LOVE to do is listen to my ENTIRE collection on shuffle. I also have 30-or-so playlists which I add tracks to as they come up on shuffle. Once I reached the limit on my iPod, I set it to only sync checked songs and began systematically unchecking songs I don't like or like "not-as-much." This worked fine for some time, but I am all out of files to "uncheck" (I tend to only buy music I like). Additionally, I now need to quickly uncheck a bunch of files every time I get new music, if I want to listen to it on my iPod. For some time I held onto some hope that Apple would put out a 320 GB Classic, but sadly that is never going to happen.
    I have a 16 GB iPhone 5, but storing music in that would be ridiculous.
    Since getting my Mac, I have a renewed passion for my iTunes library and music collection (not-so-fun with semi-functional PCs). I am finally able to organize my library like I like to, and would LOVE to be able to access it remotely.  A friend recently told me to check out iTunes Match, which reads like Storybook Fantasy in its description. Imagine my disappointment to learn that there's a 25k song limit! Tracks purchased from iTunes don't count toward the 25k, but I am not about to start re-buying 90% of my music just to use iTunes Match. I purchased a 3T WD My Cloud, hoping that would solve the issue, but apparently Apple's proprietary restrictions prevent the iTunes server from streaming remotely on my device using this service.
    I read here in the forums, someone's instructions on how to essentially have TWO libraries, scaling one down to 25k...WHAT? I'd be better off just sticking with my Classic, which fits around 33k songs!
    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP...Does anyone out there know of any way to accomplish what I want to do? I want to be able to access and play my entire music library (about 46,000 songs and growing), through iTunes (playlists, play count intact), through an app on my phone.
    I own the following equipment:
    (Late 2014) 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (running OS Yosemite)
    260 GB iPod Classic
    16 GB iPhone 5 (running iOS 8.1.2)
    WD 3T My Book
    WD 3T My Cloud
    Thank you. Please help. Thank you.

    iCloud Drive storage is not the same as iTunes match. ITunes Match does not store your music but matches with what's on the Apple servers and uploads non matched music.

    Where shall I start?
    The music that is uploaded to iTunes Match (as you mentioned) is stored in iTunes Match. If it is not then where exactly is it?  User uploaded tracks are subject to a 25,000 limit. There is no limit to the amount of iTunes purchased music.
    All music stored in Match (either uploaded by you or purchased from iTunes by you) is available for streaming or download to an IOS or OSX device (Windows may be download only)
    It's nonsense because it is almost entirely incorrect.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
