Problem with brushes

I added fairy wings to a photo and wanted to erase areas that I didn't want. Everytime I grab the eraser tool the fairy wings come back up. It stays on the brush tool...What did I do wrong?

Try selecting the eraser and then do a tool reset.

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.

Ok, I try to cntact adobe:
but I cannot find some contact on official site- email, where I can deteailed describe my problem, so for that I try to find some information through the community forum here:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

You could try
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop
But are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance like repairing permissions, purging PRAM, font validation, etc.) yet?

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!

Detect edges problem with brushes since 3.2 update

When using any of the brushes with the detect edges on with a raw image, they start to apply the change with a small area of the image effected but then stop applying the effect. If the colour overlay is turned on a straight line is seen were the affect has stopped being applied. turning of detect edges returns the brush to its normal function. This problem is making the detect edges function unusable and very anoying as I do use this a bit. This has only happened since upgrading to version 3.2.

That's a good news! Seems, that the massive protest of the users has been heard!
Could you please check the behavior of the crop tool? In Ap. 3.1.3 when I grabbed the crop-frame on one of the middle handles only that side of the frame was moved. In Ap. 3.2 the opposite side moved too.
An example: grab the middle handle on the right side of the frame and move it to the right.
Aperture 3.1.3: the right border follows the mouse, the upper and the lower frame border goes up resp. down by resizing the crop-frame.
Aperture 3.2: the right border follows the mouse to the right side and the left border goes to the left side, the same amount you move the right frame border to the right side.
What about Aperture 3.2.1???

Problem with Brush + fill (gap) in 7 & cs4 (pic attached)

So starting sometime yesterday every time I draw with the brush (stroke a path), then fill it with the paintbucket there is always a gap between the fill and the brush. This is happening in 7 and cs4. See attached image I've tried googling this problem but the search terms (brush, gap, fill) are too generic. I've reset all photoshop settings and brushes in both 7 and cs4. I'm lost, any help is appreciated.
in this screen shot you can see the gap between the brush and the fill, but there is no gap with filling a marquee.

I also tried brushes that include a hardness control slider in CS3. They all produce the gap following your technique even with the hardness setting maxed. I assume some anti-alias must be included.
On a whim, I tried a brush from the "square brushes" set that is included in Photoshop. I selected this set because it lacks a hardness control slider. This particular brush set produced no gap when using your technique. I assume there is no anti-alias built into brushes that lack a hardness control slider. My theory is that previously this is the type of brush you have used to stroke your boxes.

Problem with brushes in PSE 9

My brushes in PSE 9 seems to live a life of their own. Eks: I click in my photo with the eraser/dogde/clone and so on.. and the "work" is done in a different place in the picture. Hope you understand my explanation. Does anyone know what to do about it? It has been like this for a while.
I have tried resetting the tools.
Was also adviced to: Go to Edit>Preset Manager . . . don't change anything . . . and just click Done. That did not work either..

When you right click on the desktop you don't see personalize at the bottom of the menu?
Then this after clicking personalize:
If still no joy then look at this link:

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,

Problem with brush preview in PS CS4

When my instructor shows the brush preview mode, his brush looks like the selected brush, which means that if there's a lot of feathering on it, he can see that. In the same mode and with the same cursor settings in the preferences, I only get a circle indicating the size of the brush. There's nothing to see about the relative hardness of it. COuld this be because I'm running on Windows XP? If not, how can I get to see the brush the way he does. Thanks for your help.

Yes. Read this Knowledge Base article on OpenGL in Photoshop.

Problems with brushes showing in Brush Preset fly-out window - CS6

I've loaded a set of brushes I created into CS6. They show up fine in the menu bar brush window, in the Preset Manager, in the Brush Preset palette above my layers palette, but they will not appear in the brush preset fly-out window. This is where I do all the manipulating of my brushes, of course, so this is essential. I have created many, many brushes and done this many, many times and have never had this problem. Any thoughts on what's going on? PS CS6 on a Mac.

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

Problems with brush size in CS6

Somebody help please, what ever size canvas i choose, my brushes come out extremly small ! how can i resolve this please ? Photoshop CS6

I'm having the same issue, and I'm on a deadline. I just bought CS6 this week and it was ok till yesterday. When I choose from my own custom brushes, a 2400-pixel brush comes out very tiny. My canvas size is usually about 4000x3800 pixels, 300dpi cmyk. I googled it and found a forum where a guy said to reset all tools. I did that and it was fine again, but today it's happening again even after I reset. This is an emergency! On top of this, I can't see a thumbnail when opening psd files, and that is not an improvement!

A problem with small circles drawing...

I can't draw small circles and dots. Don't advise me to use the zoom. Is it a normal issue for Samsung Note 10.1 or Photoshop Touch?

I have the same problem on my samsung galaxy note 10.1 and PS touch v 1.2.0 (can't upgrade it without new official firmware).
And I really don't know how to post screenshot with items that cannot be painted with your software.
On this device drawing is done with stylus (If you dont know). Stylus provide great precision and allow to paint small details.
The problem is that brush does not start drawing immediately after stylus touching the screen. Instead of this it waits until user will move stylus away from start point by 3 millimiters. And only after that photoshop will draw the first segment of line. If you try to draw small circle with diameter of 3 mm photoshop will draw just start point. Because stylus will never leave 3 mm area around touching point. this also means that you can't draw lines with length less than 3mm. And this also means that every line will start with 3mm straight segment. So you can't draw small details.
This small thing (and also bugs with smudge and blur tools and opacity problems with brush and awful color picking tool) made painting with photoshop really tricky.
Maybe you made this 3mm margin to make your color picker work (which pick color only after touching the screen and then pressing side button). But it is unobvious for users (as you can see by questions on yor forums) and bring some additional problems with painting (as you can see in this post).
And what is really terrible is that I can't just delete your useless software without root rights because it was preinstalled by samsung.
Best regards.
