Problem with CS4 brush tool "paint inside mode"

When I use the Flash CS4 brush tool in "Paint Inside" mode it erases part of the strokes around shapes. For rectangles it erases the stroke on the top and left hand side where the brush head crosses it, though it never seems to affect the other sides. The effect is less consistant with ovals, but it breaks the strokes at some points. I am using Flash CS4 version 10.0.2 on Windows XP, and I have checked for program updates through the Help menu. Here are two examples:
If I understand right, the brush tool shouldn't be changing the stroke anywhere in this mode. I would be grateful for any help.

This has existed for a very long time in Flash, at least back to version 8. I'm not too sure, but it certainly only affects two out of the four sides of a square. There is a bug on this, so I will send it back for review.

CS5: Problem with the brush tool

Hi there,
I have a problem with the brush in CS5.
My system:
Win 7 Home Premium
ATI Graphics Card (Radeon HD 5770)
When I use the "Alt" key and right mouse button to change the size or the "hardness" of the current brush there is no more the red color (inside the brush) indicating the "hardness" (or the size).
I already updated the driver of my graphics card and checked the preferences (disabling and enabling OpenGL).
There were no other modifications to my system (despite Windows Updates and the Update to Camera Raw 6.4).
Any hints?
Thanks Holger.

Hi Noel,
I should have read your post before deinstalling Photoshop.
Thanks for your answer. I thought that I have used Photoshop (and the brush resize mouse command) after installing the 11.3 version of the catalyst driver. But it seems I was wrong. I will downgrade now to 11.2.
Thanks,
Holger.

Problem with pen & brush tools

Hi,
I've been at this for all day. I reset preferences and reinstalled but it didn't help.
I select either pen or brush tool, set the brush size to lets say 16pt, choose a default width profile and set the brush as basic. As i draw the line/make the anchor point the settings are reset to 1pt, normal width profile and sometimes 2pt oval. I can reselect the line and apply the settings then, as i click on the artboard the settings remain and if i try to draw a new line the settings are reset again.
I'm using cs5 on mac.
Any ideas?

You can't.
You can not have an oval caligraphy brush with a width profile assigned.
There's no workaround for that. It simply can not be done. If you want a profile, you can't use a caligraphy brush. If you want an oval, you can't assign a profile.
There is no way to set up a specific brush how you are asking. The two features are conflicting. The purpose of an oval brush (or any caligraphy brush) is to allow you to alter the width of the brush stroke as you draw. The purpose of a profile is to alter the width of a stroke as well. You can not have two items trying to fight for the same appearance. It's like asking how can I draw a rectangle with no fill but looks green in the middle. You can't.
I believe what you need to do to achieve the appearance you want is to simply draw a path, set a profile, then manually adjust the profile with the width tool if needed. You can get this to look almost identical to an oval caligraphy brush if desired. Which is why you can't do both at the same time.

For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd is asking about the behaviour of the Patch tool when using it to repair the area next to the young lad's head. Todd gets a blurred dark tone pretty much regardless of the options he uses.
IMO that's what I would expect to happen because of the close proximity of the other image elements i.e. the lad's neck and the strong lines of his shirt. I would not choose to use the Patch tool in this situation. Content Aware Fill makes a better stab at it.

Why is Photoshop CS6 extremely slow with the brush tool using Wacom pen?

Could my wacom tablet be the issue? The psd processor spins not stop until I pick up the wacom mouse and click on an adjacent layer then back to the layer I was working on. Then the wacom pen work with the brush tool. This seems to happen when every time I pick up the pen and go back to the brush tool.

First, sorry it took so long to reply. Have been a bit swamped. What I mean by the psd processor, is the balls that rotate kind of like the SBDO when the app is executing a paint stroke. So I tried your suggestion, mad a new file 7w x 5d at 72pi, set the brush to 25px at 100% hardness and made a stroke with the wacom pen. It worked fine. The issue is working in large files say around letter size at 300dpi or large format graphics for trade shows at 150dpi. These files can range anywhere from 6ft x 8ft high to 16ft w x 10 ft h for an example. So painting in a channel mask or retouching using the brush tool in airbrush mode is painfully slow. I've found that while this little psd icon is spinning, if I take the wacom mouse, click on an adjacent layer then go back to the layer I was working on and resume with the airbrush, the problem subsides. It seems this spinning thing happens when I initially start using the brush on a layer or layer mask. Do you get what I'm trying to explain?

Have a problem with a brush preset picker in CS5

Have a problem with a brush preset picker. By right click over your document (if you using brush or cloning tool) it’s open, so you choose a brush and size. But in new version, if your option bar is in different monitor (I am using two monitors one has my working area – document, other one tools), its open only in that monitor, where is a option bar. Supposed to open over your working area like it was in CS4. Seems to me, it’s not recognizing second monitor.

My graphic setting is OK, my CS4 is working fine. I thing it's a bug in new version.
Yes I have extended desktop mode.

Problem with Adjustment Brush enhancing parts of picture it shouldn't

Working on some pictures I encountered the following problem today. I did my major adjustments to the picture (e.g. Exposure -0,95) and then wanted to add some minor touches with the Adjustment Brush. As soon as I placed one click with the brush tool anywhere in the picture the highlights of the whole picture becamer over exposed.
This first screenshot shows the picture after the first adjustments:
Now you can see that I added an Adjustment Brush (Size:11, Feather: 25, Flow: 50, Density: 100) far away from the face and still the highlights in face are blown out. Nothing else has been changed:
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and how to avoid ACR doing this? It does not make a difference if the adjustment brush is set to a plus or minus value.
Thanks in advance
Oliver
(Win 7 x64 Ultimate, Photoshop CS5 12.0.4, ACR 6.5.0.216)

Thank you for the replies, Tai Lao.
1. The behaviour is occuring no matter if viewed in 100%, 24% or any other magnification.
2. No, I haven't tried ACR 6.6. Judging from this thread the problem seems to exist for quite a few versions now.
3. The brush stroke seen on the screenshot was a "new" one. It was the first brush action done to the picture.
I tried reducing the size of the adjustment brush to 2 and place this tiny brush stroke in the outmost corner of the picture. Still the highlights went up. Opening the picture as a Smart Object before using the brush everything is fine in PS. Reopening the Smart Object in ACR and using the size 2 brush far away from the higlights causes the same unwanted beheaviour.
At first I thought it had something to do with having done some adjustment to the exposure before but testing showed that this phenomena happens even when nothing was done the picture prior to using the adjustment brush.

Lightroom 5, Mac. Problem with the Radial Tool. Marquee Lines disappear.

Lightroom 5 Mac. Problem with the Radial Tool. I use this tool a lot. I must have hit a hot key by accident because between photos the marquee lines have disappeared and i don't know how to get them back. Without the marquee lines there I cannot rotate or expand the radial tool.

I have attempted to uninstall, empty trash and a fresh download from Adobe. The problem is still there...

Problem with CS5 patch tool

Hi, I have this annoying problem with the patch tool that whenever I use it, i.e., drag the selected area to a new location it pastes the selected area as if it were smudged, such as feathered, and I practically can't use it. I have checked the selection and it is not feathered, but still, the selection being pasted is smudged. Any settings that I am not aware of?
Thanks.

The Patch (content aware) tool is affected by the area around your selection. To get around the problem, make a selection of the beak and he surround without the bird and put it on a separate layer as shown here. Then select the beak and apply the Patch command. Without the dark bird for reference, you will get the result you want.

CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time. Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working. I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's. Is there

CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time. Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working. I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's. Is there a way around this? Is there a patch to correct it?

To build CD's???
What problem does Encore have with DL?
If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

Whiten Teeth Problem with Perfect Portrait Tool or Smart Brush Tool

The "whiten teeth" tool does not work ... while using either the "Perfect Portrait With Guided Edit" mode or the "Smart Brush - Quick Fix" mode. When I select the toothbrush and drag the curser across the teeth (as the on-line instructor did on the Adobe TV video), I get the following message "Could not use the Smart Brush Tool because no adjustment was selected". Is something wrong with my Photoshop software? I'm using a MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.1) and Photoshop Elements 9 (updated Oct 1, 2011). I "unistalled" Photoshop Elements 9 and reinstalled it and I'm still having the same issue.

You could also try using the dodge tool (keep pressing the letter O on your keyboard) until you see the blue dodge tool. No selection is necessary; you simply brush. A lot of people find this much easier but don’t overdo it.
Enlarge your image to about 200% and use the square bracket keys to increase or decrease the cursor size to fit the area to be whitened. Set exposure in the options bar to about 50% or lower. Gently brush over the teeth area until you get them as you like.

Brush pressure and lag problem with CS4

I've been having a huge problem with Photoshop CS4 and the brushes. Whenever I go to brush, the pressure will turn off and on randomly with each stroke, and it lags horribly. I've installed CS4 on two computers with Windows 7, and both have this problem, but my old computer which had Vista was perfectly fine. I've tried downloading new versions of CS4, turning the OpenGL on and off, updating the GPU, downloading the Windows 7 tablet driver (that made it worst), and a bunch of other things. Nothing has worked, and this problem has been going on for two months. I'm starting to think the only way to fix this problem is by switching back to Vista. Can anyone please help me solve this? Thank you.
My computer is an HP that runs on Windows 7, my Tablet is a Wacom Intuos3, and I have Photoshop CS4 Extended 11.0.2

Others have reported that completely removing the tablet driver(s) first, then installing the very latest from the Wacom web site have made things work.
Good luck.

Problems with CS4

I am developing flash games as a career. I tried using CS4 for the past few months and I am going crazy with all the problems I encounter once I push flash to the limit.
The List of Problems
Filters
1) Filters cannot be applied to movieclips bigger than a certain dimension. Flash will have an error message in the output box. (this occurred with a shape w:3000 X h:2000)
2) The stage/working area and the test movie sometimes will fail to display any filters appiled to movieclip objects.
3) The removal of the "directional dial" in some of the filters make it extremely slow to visually edit the filer e.g. Created a sun on the stage and I want an object to cast a shadow. Apply the drop shadow filter but hard to determine the angle which the drop shadow is cast by just changing numbers
4) Changing values of the filters like "angle", "blur" ...e.t.c using the slider cause a severe lag - resources monitor shows a sudden jump in cpu usage
3D
5) 3D transformation to a shape less than 10 pixels on the width or height distort the shape (blurs the image like as if a blur filtered is applied.
6) When applying a 3D plane to a racing game(back view), "forward" movement makes the camera goes into the plane instead of along the plane
7) It is impossible to create a animation of a moving 3D box without actionscript. The 4 faces facing the top, bottom, right and left will move correctly, But the face facing you will never move correctly.
8) All 3D objects will adhere to one point. Impossible to create 3d objects with multiple vanishing points. Extreme difficult to syncronize multiple 3d objects movement.
Symbols
9) With multple instances of the same symbol on stage, editing filters or colour in the symbol will not reflect changes in other instances on the stage unless the editing involves a change in position. After editing the symbol, move the shape using the mouse and undoing after that will enable the changes to be reflected on stage, That is a waste of effort.
Bitmap fill
10) When the colour effect of a movieclip with a bitmap filled shape inside is changed, the change will undo it self when you zoon in to 800%. After zooming out again, the change in colour effect is still not visible until flash is closed and reopened. The change in colour effects now is visible.
11) Bitmap fill to lines constantly gives the "red colour" whereby the bitmap fill has failed during compiling. However, the stage do not reflect this and the lines still contain the bitmap fill.
Publishing
12) What looks good on stage looks bad when published. A shape that looks good on stage looks different when published. This is especially true for shapes with very small dimensions.
Tween
13) The new tween increases filesize of of the .swf more compared to classic tween. That is bad when size is an issue for downloading and claching webpages.
14) The new structure of flash applies a tween to the object instead of timeline. When tweening multiple objects, the filesize increases drastically when they are more objects (e.g. 16Kb to 170Kb) This will not happen in previous vesions of Flash.
15) Memory leak. Everything you close and open flash, memory leak occurs.
Performance
16) unstable. Flash CS4 has crashed around 60 times since I began using it. Most crash occurs when I am touching the filters. Some crashes occur when I "save and compact". Others are random.
17) The paint bucket icon. Why reverse it for CS3 and CS4 while other tools remain a right hander tool?
Overall
Most of the problems I encountered seem to be derived from one main problem: Bad memory resources management of Flash CS4.
Anyone else have encountered problems not found in my list?

Hi - What OS are you running? Is it Windows 7 64bit?

Problem using PSE9 Brush Tool!

I am experiencing a problem using the PSE9 Brush Tool. The color does produced by the brush not match the color of the sample picked by the Eyedropper Tool, Painting near the area where the sample was picked-up results in a much darker color.

Check the blend modes for the brush tool in the tool options bar.
Also if your painting on a blank layer check the blend modes in the layers panel.
Either way try the Normal mode.

Problem with the brushes

The brushes I have now have no texture at all. They use to when i first downloaded them but now they are just slaps of solid paint. It use to not be like this:
[IMG]http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa470/DragonKeeper222/Untitled-1-3.png[/IMG]
Here is what it looks like now and on the right is what it is suppose to look like.
Please Help Me

Some thoughts, in no particular order:
You're not painting with the Pencil Tool instead of the Brush Tool are you?
Are you painting on at least an 8 bits/channel RGB image?
Is your Brush mode "Normal" (in the options area near the top of the Photoshop main window)?
What dynamics have you set?
