PSE8 question: Recompose Tool says "Program Error"

And does not recompose. I tried this with an exercise photo from the DVD of Digital Classroom and with a photo of my own. What could be happening?

Select the recompose tool then click the dropdown icon (top left under the blue PSE symbol) and choose reset tool.

  • Compiling Tools.h++ Programs:  Error: ws is not defined

    I am trying to compile some of the sample RogueWave (Tools.h++)
    programs provided with the distribution. For example, compiling
    the sortvec.cpp program results in the following errors:
    all from rw7/rw/vstream.h:
    - ws is not defined
    - the name ios is ambiguous, ios and std:ios
    - ... other errors related to ios
    What am i missing? I typed:
    CC sortvec.cpp
    We seem to be using version SC5.0

    Please check out that when you tell compiler the location of the include files (for RW) with -I option, you dont give /rw.
    for eg., it should be
    -I/opt/SUNWspro/SC4.2/include/CC/rw7
    and not
    -I/opt/SUNWspro/SC4.2/include/CC/rw7/rw

  • Photoshop gives "Program Error" when I try to open files while VPN

    I think this may be a new one. While VPN on my company network, Photoshop CS cannot open any files. Either drag and drop, double click or even file open command. You get the clock and the message "failed to open because of a Program Error.... " or something close to that. I'm sure it says Program Error though. Works fine if I'm not VPN but soon as I'm on it stops opening files or even creating a new blank canvas gives that error. I checked Adobe forum and nothing there to find about this one. Anyone else have this happen?

    Hi, SSI.
    1. What VPN client are you using?
    As a guess, your VPN client may be blocking a port that PS CS may use for license verification over the Internet. The fact that it works AOK when not using the VPN would tend to support this hypothesis. As to what port it may be attempting to use, I can't say, but you may be able to find this out from Adobe and then work with your firm's networking staff to see if this port can be opened for use when the VPN is active.
    2. You noted that you "checked Adobe forum and nothing there to find about this one." Did you post to the Adobe Photoshop forum? If not, I recommend doing so.
    3. You wrote: "You get the clock and the message "failed to open because of a Program Error.... " or something close to that. I'm sure it says Program Error though."As FYI, in cases such as this, copying down the exact text of the message is helpful.
    Good luck!

  • Clone tool: program error window (El. 8.0)

    In-case you are using the correct work-flow however you are still
    getting the error message then I would advice you to recreate Pref
    erences for Photoshop Element 8 by following this method.
    1. close Photohsop Element (if it is open).
    2. press ShiftCtrlAlt these 3 buttons on your keyboard , do not
    release these 3 buttons and launch Photoshop Element.
    3. do not release the three buttons and click on edit to launch editor.
    A small window will appear for asking you to choose yes or no [ you may
    now release the three buttons]
    4. choose yes when it ask you to delete preferences.

    When PSE goes whacky the first thing to do is to reset the preferences. Quit the editor (quit PSE if on a mac), then restart it while holding down CTRLALTShift (CommandOptionShift on a mac). Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • Photoshop program error when type tool is selected

    I've been trying to use the type tool in Photoshop and I am able to select the tool, however as soon as I place the cursor on my document, I get a program error. From there, I have to force quit the program to get out of it. I downloaded a security update for my mac yesterday, but since I haven't been using the type tool in photoshop recently, I'm not sure if that had anything to do with this issue or not. Has anyone had the same problem?
    would appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Let me clarify. I'm running Mac OS X v. 10.4.11, Photoshop CS4. The error message just says "Could not complete your request because of program error". I haven't uploaded any new fonts to my system, however, I have deleted some that were suspect of being corrupt. I cannot change fonts on the type tool because it doesn't give me a chance, the error message pops up instantly. I have reset my tools and deleted my preferences and even reinstalled Photoshop CS4 but nothing has worked.

  • CS Crop tool not working due to "program error"

    My crop tool works when pictures are in landscape orientation but not portrait orientation. This is a new problem that has developed within the last week. 80% of my pictures are taken in portrait orientation. A message pops up that says "Could not complete your request because of a program error." Any ideas?
    Mandy

    Reset the tool from the drop-down menu. If that doesn't help, reset your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
    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.

  • Program error when using the Eyedropper tool on Win8/Photoshop CC (14.2.1)

    After a year of using Photoshop CC (with many errors I still have to cope with) there is a new one. Whenever I use the color picker I get an error message, that the quest can not be done for a program error. I click close and I can use the new color but I can not see it in the tool bar preview. This really disturbs my flow while working a great deal (always clicking the error message away, never having a color preview). I am annoyed paying 25 € per month for so many error, just because Photoshop is considered a standard in the industry.

  • Photoshop CS4 "Program Error" when using Text tool

    Hello. I was having problems with Photoshop displaying a "Program Error" every so often, so I deleted the preference file and all seemed good. But after deleting the preference file for my Photoshop CS4 and re-launching Photoshop, the text tool causes Photoshop to display a Program Error when using the tool. It never did this before. Should I reinstall Photoshop? I am using a Powermac G5 running 10.5.8. I have already tried repairing the disk permissions.
    Thanks

    Thats kinda what I thought too, but the problem started happening randomly. It started when we were trying to use photomerge with large photos. The program just started giving the program errors. I still think it may be a font problem, but without going through my 2000+ fonts and disabling them one by one, how can I resolve this issue?
    Thanks

  • Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error."  Please help.

    Photoshop Elements 8.  "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error."  Please help.

    Try this:
    Open your picture file
    Access the clone stamp tool
    Hold down the ALT key on the keyboard and left click on the area from which you wish to clone, then release the ALT key, and click to place the pixels at the destination
    TIPS:
    It is a good idea to open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette, and do the cloning on this layer. Be sure that "sample all layers" at the top is checked. You can change the layer opacity if necessary
    Use the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard to increase & decrease the size of the cursor
    Let us know  how you make out with the error message now.
