PSE 6 Color for emphasis function stopped working

I was partially removing color from some photos the other day and when I started a new photo it no longer worked.  Has anyone heard of this problem?  I checked and re-checked to make sure I didn't miss anything but I was doing it the same way as ever.  ctrl j to get another layer, b for brush choosing color from the drop-down menu, then brushing over the area to de-saturate but instead of removing the color it just moves it around a bit.  If anyone knows what this is PLEASE help me out here  Thanks!

It's a bit confusing when first starting out.
D=default, which is black for foreground and white for background color
You can toggle between these by pressing X
You can select any color, of course. If you select blue for the foreground color, you would still have white for the background color. You can elect to change the background color as well.
The brush tool uses the foreground color.

  • Autofill function stopped working- Suggestions?

    MacBookPro, OS X - 10.8.5
    Why did my Autofill function stop working? It has always worked fine, but now when I click on the Autofill box that pops up when needed, the box turns blue and then locks on the screen.  No autofill function occurs, the box simply freezes in that screen location and stays there in front screen.  All other functions continue, but the pop-up box remains highlighted blue and frozen in place on the screen.  I can't close it or put behind other windows.  I need to close Safari to eliminate the Autofill pop-up box. 
    Open for suggestions, please.
    Thanks,
    Homey

    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select

    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select

  • Faces function stopped working

    The 'Faces' function stopped working automatically in aperture and iPhoto. Works only when specifically asked to scan for missing faces and then stops again. Anyone have any ideas?

    First reboot the computer.
    Second make sure the keyboard is plugged in (if it is a desktop).
    Third confirm the copy key combination work in other applications
    Fourth see if you over rode the key combination in the System Preferences > Keyboard preferences pane

    What operating and version of photoshop are you using?
    It sounds like the color picker dialog is opening off screen and that's why photoshop seems to lock up.
    (you should be able to press the Esc key to dismiss the the hidden color picker dialog)
    Do you have or had dual monitors?
    Have you changed the screen resolution recently?
    Anyway, resetting the photoshop preferences will probably gets things working again:

    Hi, EJ13. 
    I see you are having issues with backing up you iPhone and have tried a couple troubleshooting steps.  There are a couple more steps I could recommend in the article below.

  • Copy and paste function stopped working?

    The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
    How do I recover this function?
    Thanks.

    Hi Magno2002
    Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
    In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
    You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.

  • HT201401 Vibrate function stopped working! Help!!

    I have the iphone 3gs and i woke up one morning and it was laying on my bed and it fell of hit the carpet and seemed fine but then vibrate function stopped working now i have seen that giving it a 'whack or a knock' may put it back in place but it hasnt any suggestions as to what i could do or if i was to get it fixed what would need fixing and how much would it cost thanks?!

    Hi pokestate73.
    Have you tried resetting the iPhone? Hold down the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button until the Power Off slide screen appears, disappears, and then the Apple logo appears. Then let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't work, you'll need to try restoring the iPhone in iTunes.
    If you've already tried these steps, you may need to make an appointment at your local Genius Bar. The vibration mechanism may have died.

    Steve,
    I appreciate your answer.  While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
    With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
    Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change.  Yes, it might work.  The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
    Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro?  Any issues with anyone else?
    Thanks Steve.  I do appreciate your offering a solution.  I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

  • Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working ~ DivX Web Player plugin crashed

    Hi Everyone,
    Probably I should begin by saying anything computer-related is like walking blindfold in a pitch dark room. Seriously "tech-impaired" here (i'd go to someone who knows but tight budgets are a pain too... so if anyone here could help fix this I'd be forever thankful.
    The first part of the title line is what appears to me in a little message window. YouTube and Hulu work OK, but there's this site "Icefilms (dot) info" -the one that I mostly use- that's the one with the problem.
    It was all working just fine until last Monday night (June 20/2011) and it's not just with Firefox that I have this problem, cause when i tried to use Google Chrome it was the same thing, which makes me think it's not an Internet browser problem, I tried changing Firefox (5) to an older version, but instead of just the video widow, the whole thing crashes.

    Google Earth Plugin
    GEPlugin Outdated Version Update
    Plugin Icon
    RealPlayer Version Plugin
    6.0.12.69 Outdated Version
    Still saying I need updates but when I update it says I have current versions already.
    Also still keep getting plugin container for firefox has stopped working. But I'm not see a problem with anything.

  • How do I suppress "plugin container for firefox has stopped working" ?

    I am doing some Flash programming and using Firefox to debug. Every time I end the debug session from Flash Builder I get the error "Plugin container for firefox has stopped working". Is there a way to suppress this false error message? There is not a problem with the container or any plugins, simply that Firefox thinks the container has crashed because it is being closed by the IDE. I have already had to change several options to suppress false error alerts, but just seem to get new ones like this.

    Firefox uses the plugin-container process to run plugin out of the current Firefox process (Out-Of-Process-Plugins) and you may not see the plugin mentioned. Flash uses protected mode by default and that causes two plugin-container processes to be active.
    *http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html
    You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
    *check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Firefox crashes with error message: "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working"

    When I open Firefox it seems to be working fine for one minute, then everything freezes and I receive the following error message:
    "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working
    --> Check online for a solution and close the program
    --> Close the Program"
    Neither option restores Firefox and I'm left with a frozen (white blurry Not Responding) screen. When I click on the X button, then I get the regular "Firefox is not responding" message and the whole program just shuts down.
    Should I disable all plugins and / or this plugin container? How can I do that, if Firefox keeps crashing?
    Basically, how can I fix this? Thanks a lot!

    I found the issue was with the Nik Filters I was using. The filters were messing with Photoshop's initializing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the filters and now Photoshop works like a charm.
    It appears this forum is dead?!
    Thankfully, I was able to troubleshoot on my own and figured out the problem...
