Tool Menu Stopped working in Photoshop CS6 Mac?

Today when I opened my Photoshop CS6 on my Mac in OS 10.9, the tool menu stopped allowing me to select a different tool by clicking on the lower right arrow in the tool boxes. Before, I could click on , say the brush tool, and hold the mouse down to select a different kind of paint brush. Now nothing happens when I click?
I tried trashing preferences, checking my mouse preferences, etc. Nothing seems to be different, and yet this maddening behavior has taken over.
Right click does open up the menu, but I much prefer the old way.
Anyone encounter this problem?

The popup list seems to have a time delay built in that at times I have seen not work.  A right click the will usually pop up the list. Resetting tools and preferences and reboot is wort a try to fix the behavior

  • Liquify Tools won't work in Photoshop Cs6

    I am trying use the liquify effect on my images shot using a Canon 50D and none of the tools seem to work. I have successfully used the liquify effect on stock images obtain/purchased from the internet, so I am confused as to what could be the problem. I am able to select the tools, but to no avail.  I tried to start the liquify feature using the CMD+Filter+Liquify action, but it did not fixt the problem.

    The Adobe published minimum requirements for Photoshop CS6 (or any other version, really) are laughably optimistic.  Sure, Photoshop will launch with your measly 4GB of RAM on your laptop, but how well it performs is another story.
    These days 8GB of RAM is considered the bare minimum to run Photoshop CS—which of course should be updated to Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6.

  • 3D Mode Tool are not working in Photoshop CS6

    Hello everyone. First, I want to tell you that I use ATI Radeon HD 6730M with 12.2 driver series. and I just   found out that my Photoshop CS6 3D mode tool not working in advanced drawing mode, like this.
    As well as normal drawing mode. Please help to fix this problem.

    When you changed the options in the Preferences - Performance - Advanced Options section, did you close Photoshop and restart it before testing?  That's necessary or you won't be testing what you think you are.
    Assuming you have done so, if you have exhausted the various GPU options, I don't think you have any other options beyond waiting for a new and improved display driver.  I suppose it's possible the Adobe folks might improve their code to make it work better on different setups, but generally speaking these kinds of things seem to be glitches in the display driver.
    I just tried a similar operation to what you're doing on my Radeon HD 5670 with Catalyst 12.6 drivers and it seems to work okay.

    How do I change a default from feathered edge to sharp edge when I select a path?
    I'm working in Photoshop CS6 on a Mac and am having trouble when I select a Path it automatically feathers the selection border. I can't seem to find any place to adjust a feather setting. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm using paths to silhouette an image on a photograph to use in another document and I need a hard edge on it, not a feathered one.

    In the Paths panel, click the flyout menu (in the top right of the panel) and choose Make Selection (this option will only be available if you have a path selected). Reduce the Feather Radius to 0 (zero) and click OK. This setting will be the default even when clicking the Load Path as Selection button.

  • Wacom Tablet Pen Pressure stops working in Photoshop after using Lightroom Local Adjustment Brush

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a problem with my Intuos Pro Medium (driver 6.3.9w3 on Windows 8.1)
    I am using Lighroom 5.6 and Photoshop CC 2014.
    I an get the pen pressure to work in Photoshop without any problem. However, if I go into Lightroom and use the Local Adjustment Brush and then transfer the photo into Photoshop (Right Click Edit In => Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2014 CC) then the pen pressure stops working in Photoshop.
    Really frustrating... The only workaround is to close both Photoshop and Lightroom, then reopen Photoshop, then usually the Pen pressure feature starts working again.
    Has anyone experienced this before or has any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Guillaume

    Your tablet driver isn't reporting pressure correctly.
    The knockoff tablet drivers usually need to be revised for each new version of Photoshop (and we have no idea why).
    Contact your tablet maker to see if they have updated drivers to fix their bugs.

  • Oracle BI Administration tool has stopped working

    Just now finished the 11g installation.But im not able to open BI Administrator.Im getting this error.Please help.
    "Oracle BI Administration tool has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.Please close the program"

    I followed the below steps(taken from this forum) for installing OBIEE11g 64 bit version in a 64 bit machine.Installation completed successfully.But not able to open BI Administration tool.Any suggestions???
    There is not a particular 64bit installation. I think it works like this: if you are using a 64bit JDK the apps server is also running 64 bit.
    You can find the generic jar here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/wls-main-097127.html and take the generic one (http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/11g/wls1033_generic.jar)
    You install this by a command like this (you have to look up the documentation): java -XXm.... .... wls1033_generic.jar
    Then a installer pops up.
    So these were my steps:
    - installed RCU
    - installed 64 bits JDK (jdk-6u21-windows-x64.exe)
    - installed Weblogic (wls1033_generic.jar)
    - installed OBI as "software only"
    - configured OBIi (config.bat you can find in <obi11g home>\Oracle_BI1\bin)
    All together it does not take much longer then the 32bit install. Only some extra steps to do.

  • The color replacement tool  does not exist in photoshop cs6

    Hi guys!
    I have a huge problem with my new photos hope cs6, it doesn`t have a Color replacement tool button, I mean this
    Icon
    In addition I searched category under brush tools but it doesn`t exist
    Just I have color replacement in
    Image > Adjustment> Replace color
    Is it the same with that tool

    Hi,
    the color-replacement tool is still there in CS6, "under" the brush-tool in the toolbar of photoshop-CS6.
    Reveal it by alt-click on the brush...
    did I understand your question right?
    If you want a tool-preset of the color-replacement like the other tool-presets in your screenshot,
    you choose the tool first and then you can make a new preset for your special color-replacement-tool,
    including size of your point etc...

    Follow write permission on thread below - same error message
    Re: CS6 updates and Mac write permissions
    Need Adobe help to solve this. My own searches in Forums and Google all have failed.

    It is not an Adobe problem. You have a OS permissions problem. You can try to correct this by using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. It is in the First Aid area of Disk Utility.

  • Bookmark bar and menu stop working after awhile on Firefox 12

    I have upgraded to Firefox 12. Everything works fine when I start up Firefox, but after some amount of use (and I can't always reproduce this) eventually when I click on bookmarks in my Bookmark Bar or from the Bookmark menu, nothing happens. Firefox doesn't load the bookmark. If I open the "Show All Bookmarks" window and click on bookmarks there, they load fine and then the menu and bookmark bar suddenly start working again. If I close the "Show All Bookmarks" window the Bookmark Bar and menu stop working again.

    Hi ischou,
    I haven't heard of this particular issue, but you might want to try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. Let is sit for a while as you described above and if you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Receiving a "FIXMAPI 1.0 MAPI Repair Tool has stopped working" error

    One of our users has Windows 7 Installed. When she emails out attachments, she right clicks it and chooses to "Sent To" and then selects "Mail Recipient".
    It opens and creates a new email fine. Upon pressing SEND it gives a "FIXMAPI 1.0 MAPI Repair Tool has stopped working" It does successfully email. 
    I attached a screenshot.

    Hi,
    Have you tried to repair the Office for the user?
    If that won't work, open the Explorer, and navigate to
    %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
    Delete the file named Mail recipient. (Make a backup before you doing that, or you can just move it to the other folders.)
    And then open folder
    C:\Windows
    Find the file named Win.ini, open it with Notepad, find the section that begins with [Mail], and then add the following lines. Some lines may already exist, but you need all of them for this feature.
    [Mail]
    MAPI=1
    CMC=1
    CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
    CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
    MAPIX=1
    MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
    OLEMessaging=1
    Save it and quit Notepad, restart the Computer.
    See if we can get rid of it.

  • KTpass.exe - Kerberos keytab tool has stopped working

  • Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

    Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

    I understand. I was very unhappy with Adobe when my PSE 11 stoped working properly. I had it for only about 6-7months before I updated my software on my imac and it all went downhill.... Then to add to that my Adobe account was hacked. Adobe never informed me of this situation. I heard through a friend that I should check to see if I was one of the very many who's online accounts were tampered with. I had to reset every single password and username for nearly 30 online accounts to avoid any further tampering with the hackers. And all Adobe suggested was for me to pay for an upgrade to PSE 12 which I did but wasnt very impressed to say the least ( i was on an online chat with them for over 2hours trying to get my PSE 11 issues solved to no avail). Then this sluggish performance starts happening again using the new version PSE 12?. I'm going to stay clear of adobe if I have the option to purchase similiar software from another supplier. I would and will encourage anyone else who has problems with there software to do the same. Older versions should work perfectly fine for ages. I wonder If Adobe is trying to get us all to pay for the monthly subscription option(s) to avoid having issues with older versions of their software. As the subscription option keeps you ontop of all the latest versions... I wouldn't put it past them.
    All the best returned,
    Ray
