Problem with photoshop cs 6 using tools

When im using clone tool and press [ and ] key to zoom in and out, the zoom key suddenly stops working. What seems to be the problem?

[ and ] changes brush size. Ctrl/Cmd + and - changes zoom.
If you are having a problem with a tool, just reset it. Right-click on it here in the Options bar.

  • New, improved problem with Photoshop CS3 Clone Stamp Tool

    After selecting the clone area with the Alt + L Click, I then release both and press the  L Click to get the brush.  The + symbol moves along beside the brush.  It does not stick at the area that I alt clicked.  I have reset the tool, but that has no effect.  I have tried the alt-click more than once.  Tha pallet does show an offset and has a clone source chosen.  It just doesn't stick at the location.
    Any help is appreciated.

    If I understand you correctly, you may have a system problem (e.g., with OpenGL) if the clone stamp overlay is not confined to the brush shape.
    Normally, this is what you see (cloning from the right to the left with a round brush):
    If it's not working this way for you, I suggest downloading and installing the latest display driver from the web site of the maker of your video card, and also experimenting with the OpenGL settings in your Edit - Preferences - Performance menu.
    CS3 did not offer the clipped Clone Stamp overlay. That's an OpenGL-specific feature, and only Photoshop CS4 and above have the OpenGL support needed.

  • Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

    I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6.  If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to.  I don't know if I changed something by accident or not. 
    Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..."  The save as window opens showing the file name and format.  The default format seems to be .PSD.  I use the drop down to select .jpg.  The file saves normally as a .jpg.  When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
    I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite  but it always used to do that.  This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
    In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
    I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.
    I saved a new workspace and it did not help.
    No problem before I went to Maverick.

    I found the fix, go to System Preferences and open Mission Control and uncheck the box to keep monitors as they were (When switching to an application...........)

  • Problem with Photoshop CS4 after migration to new Mac

    I just migrated from an old Mac to a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks. I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS4. Specifically, two things:
    1) When I open an image in Camera Raw, I get this error:
    Fatal error - missing component
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
    2) When I try to save anything, it tells me it can't because of a program error.
    I've looked around for a solution. Apparently I had to install Java, but that hasn't solved the issue. A couple of people mentioned that reinstalling would work for a similar problem. My problem with that is that my disk is on the other side of the world and my new macbook doesn't have a disk drive anyway. So I logged into my Adobe account hoping to see a download link for software I have licences for, but there isn't one.
    So my question is firstly, whether there is a simpler solution to the errors I am getting and, if not, if there's a solution to reinstalling Photoshop CS4 without the disk.
    Thanks!

    Did you use Apple's migration tool?  It misses a lot of support files, especially in the Application Support directories.
    You'll have to copy those files manually, or reinstall the app.

    Problems with Photoshop CS2
    I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
    This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
    when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
    When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
    Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.

    Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.

  • Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well.  Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up:  After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image.  How do I disable this function?

    Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

      Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.

  • Problems with Photoshop Elements 11

  • Problems with Photoshop CS5.1

    Hello everyone, I'm having some problems with Photoshop, it simply doesn't work as it should. When trying to resize the brush, the cursor changes shape and if I click, it won't, for example, paint where the cursor is pointing at, but about two inches diagonally. Then, the liquify tool freezes and I have to zoom in/out in order to make it work again, the brush disappears when changing the size, and again the cursor changes into something else and doesn't make any adjustment to where it's pointing at, but to a lower section. It's annoying to keep working like this! According to the update manager, everything is up to date. My current OS is Lion 10.7.2. Does anybody know how to fix this or at least why it is happening? I asked in the Adobe forums and I was told that it was Apple's fault (obvious response haha), and that a software update should come up to fix this driver problem or something. I'm not sure of what this is but I can't work like this. Thank you in advance.

    What it means is Adobe is feverishly working on a solution.  Apple has no control over Adobe's products.  They may make spec changes to allow for better support of other data formats, and the GUI, and security of the operating system, and Adobe is always in the loop on http://developer.apple.com/  If they can't make Lion work with their software, it is partly due to the immense size of their software and not being able to modify such software without significant error checking, and partly due to possible changes that Apple may have made.  One should never upgrade a production environment until one knows all one's software is compatible for all one's needs.  Having a test machine, or a test hard drive to see if an upgrade works is probably best until migrating an entire environment to a new system.  And always backup your data prior to upgrading.  A clone backup offers the quickest recovery time.  Carbon Copy Cloner is a great solution for external hard drives, and so is Superduper.

  • Big problem with photoshop cc

    I have a problem with photoshop that had happened to me last year and I managed to sort by formatting my computer and came back this year. I was drawing on the software, when it suddenly closed. I then reopened the software, and there, my brush appear as pictured . The first 6 are the same ... They draw the same way as I draw mostly with " net pressure rounded size ."
    I have reinstalled the software restored the computer to an earlier date, reset photoshop ... I really do not know what to do and I can not format the computer again ... If you have a solution , it would be really good! Thank you in advance,
    Good evening .

    Yes I know , except that these 6 brushes draw the same way , they are identical when I used , look at the attached image in the main message.
    Select either the third or forth brush, and check its settings in Shape Dynamics.  It should have Size jitter set to Pen pressure.
    Now select the Sixth brush.  In Transfer, Flow jitter should be set to Pen pressure
    If those settings are correct, then it is your tablet that is at fault.  Open the Wacom properties, and test Pen pressure (as below).  If that works, then the tablet is not working with Photoshop, so check the driver is up to date.  If it does not work, then there is an issue with the pen and or tablet.  Restart your computer, try another USB port, check connections etc.

  • Problems with Photoshop CS4

    Hello everyone
    I installed windows 7 64 bit and photosop cs4 32 and 64 bits.
    For plugins I use photoshop 32 bit as in 64 does not recognize.
    When working with photoshop 32-bit, or by applying a similar effect on photoshop I "refresh" the screen, I have to give it a click above to update the action taken, which does not happen with the 64-bit . previously when I had windows XP 32 bit, something similar is happening but unlike in Windows 7 is became more confusing to work
    Looking at other forums I found that others feel the same.
    I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7, but can not get photoshop to work properly.The refresh of the windows is horrible, it gives many hitches, even small images at 72 dpi. It's pretty desperate
    I have a similar problem with Photoshop CS4, Windows 7 and the Gforce 9800 GTX version 196.21
    The problem is that whenever I do a process, I have to click on the screen to react, is quite annoying if you retouch photos, anyone know where the problem may lie?
    Example of my problem
    I apply an effect to an image flash
    Notice how after applying it, as is the browser and thumbnail in the layer and I obviously still displays the result on the image.
    After giving up a click:
    I shows the effect applied, but the display remains the same, as in the layer.
    If I want to leave the viewer have to make the preview zoom.
    As you will see work like this is very annoying and stressful. Any help?

    Did you update PS CS4 to 11.0.1? If not update before turning off opengl or updating Nvidia drivers.
    There are also new nvidia drivers out 197.13. However, newer does not always equal better.

  • Problems with Photoshop cs4 for the Mac

    I am having all kinds of problems with Photoshop CS4 for the Mac.  When I boot the software it seems to work for a while then, I am unable to open upf a file in Photoshop.  I drag a photoshop file over the application icon, the whole screen flickers and nothing happens.  I am unable to quit Photoshop as the quit choice is grayed out and command-q will not make it quit. I have to force quit.  I can repeat this pattern over and over.  What is happening?  How do I solve this problem?
    --Kenoli

    Thanks for the reply.  I am using  Photoshop 11.0.1.  I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard.  I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now.  My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac.  Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while.  I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply.  Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
    The problems with Photoshop  (starting with just taking a long time to load)  have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software.  I will report if problems go away.
    Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere.  However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
    So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
    Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively?  Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.
