The paint bucket tool and patterns in Photoshop CC have stopped working, how to fix?

Suddenly the paint bucket is not filling, and patterns are not filling either with bucket or fx on layer.
I tried resetting patterns to default, but that did not help. I restarted my computer, no help, either. Any suggestions? thanks!

What document? what layer? what tool settings? you need to provide more info. Most likely you have simply changed a setting somewhere.

Where can I find the paint bucket tool

where can I find the paint bucket tool

Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
Generally the Paint Bucket Tool is grouped in the same tool slot as the Gradient Tool in the tool box.
You can click and hold on the tool icons in the tool box to see the hidden tools.
(hidden tools are preset if there is a small black or white triangle to the lower right of the tool icon in the tool box)

Paint Bucket tool and scanned imges

Hi,
Not a problem this apart from my ability to understand how
things work! - so sorry if this is a really stupid question - but
I'd be grateful if someone could enlighten me
If I draw (using old fashioned pen and paper) an line image
with a fair amount of detail, scan it and open it in Fireworks, I
can use the Paint Bucket tool to fill various parts of the image
with different colours (in other words it recognises the boundaries
between parts of the drawing.) This suits the way I like to work
perfectly
On the other hand, other packages (including FreeHand) don't
seem to be able to do this.
Am I missing something - or is there something unique about
the way Fireworks works?
Thanks
Roger

Roger,
Once you select the Paint Bucket Tool look in the Properties
panel and
make sure the Fill Selection checkbox is unchecked. Play
around with the
Tolerance setting to get the results you want.

Paint bucket tool and its barriers

I'm using the paint bucket tool on a graphing calculator image and the -6.67 interferes with the line so the paint bucket tool fills in gray where it isn't supposed to go. I tried to fill in the line with the freeform pen tool and the line tool, but the paint bucket tool still fills in the gray wrong. Can you help?..The same problem happens at 10 as well.

It does sound like a lot. I'm not at a computer with PS, so I can't post screen shots, but this is what you do:
create a duplicate copy of your graph layer by pressing ctrl/cmd-J. Set the blending mode to "Multiply," which is the drop down menu at the top of the layer pallet. You can turn off this layer for a bit while you do the other steps by clicking on the eye in the layer pattet.
Select the other visible graph layer, and select the brush tool (B) and and a hard edged brush. Set the foreground color to white (I'm assuming your graph layer is white and black and not black with transparency.) Paint over the lettering between the line that is broken.
Then set the foreground color to black and reduce the brush size to the size of your line. Paint in a line to fill the gap (there are other ways to do this such a a stroked path).
Now that the line is filled in, select the magic wand tool (w). Make sure the check box in the main menu is checked for contiguous, so it just selects the enclosed area and not all the white area.
From the main menu, you can increase the selection size by clicking of Select>Modify>Expand. Set the value to 1 pixel. This will help from getting a white line near your black lines.
Create a new layer by clicking on the new layer icon in the layer's pallet (at the bottom) or by pressing ctrl-shift-N.
Now you can fill the selection on the new layer by pressing ctrl-backspace for the current background color, or alt-backspace for the current foreground color.
Press ctrl/cmd-D to deselect the selection and you can then turn on the visibility of your graph layer.

The paint bucket tool is not working properly. The colors does not change, any suggestion?

Maybe on the wrong layer.
It would be more beneficial if you capture your screen with the layers panel open and any layers that are collapsed, expand them.

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files?

Try:

Paint Bucket Tool and Rounded Corners

Hello everyone. First and foremost I have to mention that I am kind of a newbie with PS, so go easy on me.
I have been using the bucket tool in order to fill the background of some images, but after a while the colour I selected resulted in a different shade. For example, black resulted in grey and so on. What can be the source of this? Have I accidentely selected something which does this?
Another problem I have is about creating rounded corners for an image. I used this tutorial http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2008/09/03/round-corners-in-pho toshop.aspx and it worked great the first few times, but than the area around the corners became white instead of being transparent. I followed the exact stepts as in that tutorial but with no effect.
Example: it looks ok, but that's because of the white background of the page, move it to some place which is coloured and the white areas appear.
Also, is there another, easier way to create this rounded corners?
Thank you for your time.

Here's another way to create the rounded corners image:
1. Duplicate the background layer
2. select the rounded rectangle tool set to shape and set your radius in the tool options bar
3. draw out the rounded rectangle (the color for the rectangle doesn't matter)
4. move the shape layer below your duplicated layer in the layer stack
5. click on the shape layer in the layers panel
6. go to Layer>Create Clipping Mask
7. Trim the image by going to Image>Trim>Transpaerent Pixels

My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

HT4061 My lock button and home screen button has just stopped working, how do i fix this?

My lock and home screen button has just suddenly stopped working, i have looked on YouTube, unscrewed the back and tried the methods that work for other people but it hasn't worked.
Im not on contract, if it needs to go in for repair im sure it will be very expensive!
What shall i do?

It's a hardware issue. If it's out of warranty, you can get it replaced but there's an out of warranty fee associated.

My illustrator free trial does let me access the paint brush tool and other tools (artboards), is his a glitch or a restriction on the trial?

please help!

refarta,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Photoshop CS5 opens and says "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working"

Hey guys.. I hit this problem tonight after trying for several hours to open Adobe PS CS5.
Photoshop worked earlier today and i have made no changes on my PC since running PS again.
I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64bit
I have tried Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ALT to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File with no success.
I have rebooted my computer several times.
I have ran as administrator.
As far as I can tell it has something to do with KERNELBASE.dll
You guys are my last chance.. THANK !

I installed the new iOS 5 and now my text messaging doesn't work, how do i fix this?

i was wondering if this is a hardware problem with my phone since it is a refurbished one, or if it has happened to other people as well.

How are you trying to accomplish these two tasks?
The correct way is as follows:
Camera zoom: pinch with your fingers like you do when viewing pictures.
Camera button in lock screen: Double-tap on the home button while in lock screen
If you are already doing it that way and it doesn't work, then maybe someone else here has another idea.

I just upgraded to OS X Mavericks on my Macbook Air. However, I can't connect to ANY of the printers (Epson L210 and HP Laserjet 1020) I have at work and at home. What should I do?? Help please!

HELPPP

Try deleting them from the Print & Scan System Pref, and the re-add them.
If that doesn't help, reset the Printing System by ctrl-clicking in the printer list and select Reset Printing System.
You'll then have to re-add the printers.
