Problems with Pro Tools 8, is it the software?

Hello, I know this is "Apple Discussions", but since I'm using Pro tools 8 with the new macbook pro, I might get some answers here. I recently bought pro tools 8, I already have logic though, but wanted to be in the pro tools world too so, the thing is that every time I use Pro Tools 8 with the digi 003, the session Im working on will stop with just a few plugins, and man this happens a lot, on the other hand is that nothing happens when I use the digi 003 with Logic 8, I mean, I could have like 20 plugins and It would not stop at all. Can anyone identify with this problem with pro tools 8, Because people tell me that on pro tools 7.4 that doesnt happen at all.
Thank you...

PT8 is much better with plug ins than PT7x, but is not in the league of Logic. I am a huge PT fan and use both Logic and PT8, and as much as I love the look and superior interface of PT8, Logic is like an ugly old car that goes 200 MPH. It's a performance beast. I've had ridiculous amounts of plug ins in Logic with not a whimper from the program.
PT8 is much more sensitive to things like whether you are using Firewire drives to record to (as opposed to internal SATAs on a Mac Pro), and many 3rd party plugs cause PT much grief. For high track counts and lots of plug ins, Logic is still King Kong.

Problem using Brush tool with layer mask in Photoshop CC.

Using Photoshop CC, working on a layer mask. Using the Brush tool to paint white to show the effect works like normal. Painting black has no effect. Just started doing this in the last two days.

Check you Brush blending mode setting in the tools option bar.

Problem with move tool? (Win 7)

On Photoshop CS4 , everytime I select the move tool and decide to move an object among a layer , it moves the object off screen , making it difficult to bring it back to the canvas to move . I know it isn't jumping layers , because only the object inside of one layer i moved , but ... am I the only one that has this problem ? How do I fix it ?
It doesn't only have this problem with the move tool , but with the text tool , marquee tools , and the brush tool , as well . The text tool would jump off screen , the marquee tool would position the marquee somewhere other than where I clicked it to be , and the brush tool would sometimes jump out of the brush outline . Can someone help ?

Standard questions:
Have you updated to version 11.0.1?
Have you updated your video drivers?
Is you video card compatible? See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405711
Have you tried turning off OpenGL in preferences?
If the answer to all is yes, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Elements 12 problem with brush cursor

I have recently bought Elements 12 (I have used Elements 2 for many years) which I am running on a Dell laptop with Windows 7. Every time I change the brush cursor size, the cursor becomes corrupted. It changes to strange shapes and does not work properly. I have found that I can rectify the probem each time by pressing the spacebar. The cursor then becomes circular again and works properly, but only until I change the brush size again. So I have to keep pressing the spacebar all the time when I am trying to use the brushes. Has anyone else had this problem and know of a fix please? I have not encountered any other problems with Elements 12.

Sorry I didn't spot that box and many thanks for the diagram. I have now reset the brush tool which does revert the cursor to the circular shape and sets it to a small size (13 px), but the problem reoccurs. As I increase the brush size, when it gets to 250 px, the cursor goes to an odd shape, then it reverts to circular at about 800 px. A similar thing happens if I then reduce the brush size.
I am new to this forum, as I didn't have any problems with Elements 2. After I posted my question, it listed similar questions from other members. One member descibed an identical problem with an earlier version of Elements. That post was a very long dialogue and I have just quickly read through it. He could not fix it and people's suggestions were that it was probably a deficiency with his graphics card. Unfortunately, I suspect I have the same problem with my Dell laptop. I imagine there is nothing I can do other than buying a new PC, but if you guys have any further suggestions, then that would be great. Many thanks!

Problems with Clone Tool / Content Aware Scaling in CS4 Mac

I've been using PS for about 1 year and a half. Sort of an Advanced beginner. One of the things I love is the clone tool. Since I've upgraded to CS4 I've had nothing but problems with the Clone tool. When I go over an area it doesn't show anything and the either makes the adjustments after a long delay or it goes black and then comes back with the adjustment. Sometimes when I'm dragging the brush the whole picture goes away replaced by a smear of color noise. It really makes the tool unusable. In many cases I've gone back to CS3.
I also have similar problems with the content aware scaling. Never been able to get it to work. Basically some of the nicest new features of CS4 are worthless for me. Tried looking at Adobe solution and searching the forums but I haven't seen any exactly similar problems of solutions.
Any help appreciated. I have a white 24' Intel Mac with a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Dual with 3GB RAM.
Alan

As always the various User Forums are fantastic. Adobe (and other) get everyone to do their Tech Service for them. Thanks for the help.
So, two new pieces of info. When I disable Open GL everything works fine. (Sorry about the TIFF, I just didn't catch it) So in essence this solves my problem.
Also PS CS4 works perfectly on my new Aluminum MacBook. So clearly it is an issue with the video board on my iMac.
This brings me to the wrap-up question. Should PS CS4 theoretically work with Open GL on my iMac or is it a know problem with CS4 and older graphics boards? I'm assuming my board supports Open GL.
This is the Profiler data on the Graphics Card
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0391
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: 3021
Displays:
iMac:
Resolution: 1920 x 1200
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Supported
Built-In: Yes
Some of the Open GL features are nice and wouldn't mind having them but not worth buying a new Mac for. So the questions is: Is the some kind of upgrade / driver I can load to solve this problem.
Again Thanks for the help

Problems with color tools

Hi All,
I had my CS4 installed in my office computer and it was working perfectly.
A couple of days ago I decided to deactivate from that computer and install it in my home computer. Now I am experiencing problems with the color tools. For instance, in the brush tool I can only select colors from the palette. If I put the select color tool over an image, it does not "read" de color It is not "reading" the color. It changes the tool to black.
Any idea why this is happening?
Marteca

Which operating system did you have it installed on at work, and which do you have it installed on at home? Have you is\nstalled any updates available for FW CS4? Have you installed a new version of Flash?

Troubles with brush tool

When I use the brush tool (Fireworks CS3), I loose control
over the mouse.
When I select the brushtool, the brushcircle (mousepointer)
will flash in a high frequence and won't react on my mouse moves
anymore or at least very slowly. All other (simular) functions
performs well.
I can't imagine it's a processor or memory problem; I use a
brandnew laptop with Intel T7200 and 2Gb memory. Vista Home Premium
is my OS. Already installed Fireworks againg but the problem
remains.
I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance!

There is a great deal of commitment to Fireworks, as
evidenced by the
removal of ImageReady. Workarounds have been supplied to
solve the
issue. I avoided the problem entirely by not upgrading to
Vista right
away. Granted, I had that luxury. I've yet to trust a 1.0
release from
MS yet.
As for FW's (lack of) home page presence on the Adobe web
site, that
burns me too, but other areas of Adobe are promoting the app,
such a
Adobe Edge and the Design and Developer centers of the site.
Not fixing the Aero issue was a mistake. Things like that
happen, but
don't count Fireworks out yet.

Problem with Pen Tool CS5

Hi,
I just got Photoshop CS5 and I'm having a bit of trouble with the pen tool - namely, I can't see the path I'm creating. In CS3 I could clearly see the line between two points but in the new program the line is nearly invisible making it very difficult to create the path. Is this a setting I can fix?
thanks

I was having 32 bit while I upgraded from CS3 to CS4. The only problem with CS4 that time was with pen tool.Though I cannot precisely recall , I can say it t was very lazy and very frustrating and this was resolved totally after shifting to 64 bit.--If urs existing system is 32 bit try with 64 bit

Problem With Brushes Pressure CS5

Hello all.
I'm using a Photoshop Cs5 with a Wacom Cintiq 12wx Tablet (I'm using PC with WinXP).
I'm having some problems withe the pressure, it doesn't work on Photoshop, (I tried it on CS3 & CS5), and I did clicked on the Tablet options in PS.
The pressure just don't responds.
I Think its becuse I can't change the Minimum Diameter in any Brush.
Plus when I change the Control part to Pen Pressure, a little warning sign is appering ( a triangel with an exclamation mark insaid ), how ever when I click on it [to see what the problem is ,nothing happens].
I have to point out that in the Cintiq Tablet Properties it's all fine, the pressure respond(in the meter)
I tried making a different settings for Photoshop, it didn't help. Can any one Pleas help me?

Usually, this is an issue with the wacom driver needing to be updated.
A few people have also found that the Windows tablet settings can also mess things up.

Problem with brush definitions

Hello:
I have just started using Illustrator but I do have some experience with PS. My OS: Windows 7 64bit
So, I have been learning my way around and was playing with the Brush tool but when I went to reset the brush to Basic under Brush Definitions it would not stay on Basic. Also, when I go to set a different stroke size it keeps reverting back to 1px.
Any ideas? Or should I just call tech support on Monday?
Just thought I would ask here first.
Thank you for your time.
Have a great day/night,
Kara

@Monika .... Thank You for your reply
Great Tips too!!
I appreciate your help
Take care,
Kara

Coloring with brush tool

I was watching one video tutorial where this person had first a color picture, and then he changed it to a black and white pic. I'm ok 'til this point. Then he, using a brush tool, selectively brought some colors back. Hard to explain.. I tried to do it but my brush didn't do anything. So in my case, B&W stayed B&W.
I tried it with a color picture where was pretty flowers. I wanted everything else B&W but the roses. What am I doing wrong? Do I have some settings wrong or what do you think?
I have a love and hate relationship with Photoshop and just now it's more hate...
thanks for help,
Inge

Photoshop's just a tool - an insanely complicated tool. Don't hate it; love it and it will reward you.
The tutorial was likely showing off the History Brush tool. The History Brush allows you to select a step in the History list, then brush the pixels back to the way they were at that step.
For example:
1. Open a color image.
2. Make your History panel visible by choosing Window - History.
3. Do Image - Adjust - Desaturate.
4. Your History list will now have two steps in it Open and Desaturate.
5. Click the little box to the left of the step that says Open. That will now be the source for the History Brush.
6. Select the History Brush from the tools palette and brush over your image. It will restore the color to the way the image looked before the Desaturate.
