    Hello everyone, I am having trouble with clipping paths in Photoshop CS5.

    What do you mean by "a Path Layer was created"?  Path are in the path palette, there is a path in shape layers and they is a path in a vector layer mask. I have never seen a reference to a path layer before this.  When a path in the path palette is selected activate it wall also be shown in the image window.  Does not matter if there is a targeted layer or not.  Control points may or may not be displayed. Using Path tool you can select and select segments and show some or all control points, Path are editable.

  • Move tool in Photoshop CS5 on MacBook Pro

    I am trying to move one photo into another in Photoshop CS5. Instead of being able to to drag one tab overtop of the other to put one photo in a layer over another, the tab I am trying to drag snaps back into place. This is really frustrating. I have restarted Photoshop, restarted my Mac, closed all my other apps and even deleted actions I have installed to no avail.  I have searched for other suggested solutions. Someone suggested making sure 'show transform controls' was checked, but it did not make a difference in my case. I am using a brand new MacBook Pro.

    You could just abandon tabbed view if you are non accustomed to it yet.
    Your phrasing
    the tab I am trying to drag snaps back into place.
    sound like you might be trying to drag a tab instead of a Layer onto another file.

  • Problem with Text tool in Photoshop CS5

    I just purchased PCS5 this morning and they told me that I should download the trial version till I get the actual CDs... I have Photoshop CS4 and never had any serious problems.  After downloading and installing CS5 it seems everything is working ok... however there are 2 problems...
    1. It does not interact with Bridge 4 (when I make changes in Bridge, CS5 does not see it)
    2. Any time I try to click on 'TEXT' tool icon, the application crushes... and I cant do anything... I have to restart the application.
    Dont care much about 1st problem, but can't do without the 2nd one....
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a million in advance

    Hi
    Have you tried following solutions?
    - update Photoshop to 12.0.4
    - remove bad & duplicated fonts and clear system font caches
    - update or uninstall 3rd party font management application
    - remove all 3rd party plugins including font management application plugin
    - launch Photoshop 32bit mode
    - upgrade your Mac OS
    If above solutions don't help, please contact me ([email protected]).

  • All tools in Photoshop CS5 not moving smoothly (only making dots instead of lines)

    All my tools in Photoshop CS5, including the brush, eraser, healing brush, etc. are only making dots, instead of drawing smooth lines. When using the brush tool, for example, if I click down and drag my mouse to draw something, only the initial dot for where I clicked down gets colored in. Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

    Does anything jump out to you that could be causing this problem? Also, my lasso tool doesn't work properly as I can't drag anywhere. The move tool also doesn't work properly. I can click down and drag a layer, but after I release my click, the layer moves back to its previous position. The only way to move any layers is by free-transforming them.

  • Text tool in Photoshop CS5? Help!

    Whenever I try to use the "Text" tool in Photoshop CS5 it freezes on my Mac laptop and I have to force quit losing all of my work if I haven't saved. Help please?!

    There's some confusion on your part.  Apple's Font Book is just a standard, integral part of the OS, and it gets installed with every installation of the OS.
    There's a different application called FontBook (no space) by Lemke software that would not interfere with anything.

    I'm trying to enlarge tools of photoshop CS5 on a surface can anyone help?

    Looks like you are talking about HiDPi monitors. If so, then you can try to adjust your screen resolution and check if that helps.
    Please provide more details for further help.
    An error screenshot would help along with OS details.

  • Photoshop CS5 - Image resize problem with move tool

    Hi People
    Here's my problem
    When I try to resize an layer using the move tool (as opposed to the Free Transform tool), while I'm in the process of moving the scaling handles, the bounding box reflects my movement but the layer preview stays at it's original size. When I stop moving the handles there is a few seconds delay and then the new scale size shows up. If I try to move the handles again, without commiting to the transform, the layer preview reverts back to it's original size until I've finished moving the handles.
    I didn't have this problem with CS4 and I've only recently upgraded. I work around this problem by using the proper Free Transform tool (ctrl+t) but it would be nice to know why the hell this happens. It seems to me to be more of a graphical glitch than a software preference but I thought I'd check just-in-case.
    Specs:
    Photoshop CS5 V12.1 x64
    PC
    Intel Xeon W3505 @2.53GHz
    Nvidia Quadro FX580

    I also read you you tried updating your video dirvers and your syste crashed and you had to roll back.   Make sure you have downloaded the latest correct drivers. If that does not work try turning off Open GL in photoshops preferences.
    On my old XP 32 bit system CS5 movet tool with transform dialog does not fail like on your system. I can move the handles time and time again without commiting the transform. The only way to have Photoshop revert the transform back to the original state is to press the ESC key to cancel the uncommitted transform.

  • Has anyone had any trouble with the Move tool in Photoshop (v14.2.1)? I'm getting a dimmed bounding box akin to the transform bounding box, but this one won't let me apply or escape.

    Having trouble suddenly with the Move tool creating a bounding box that wont let me release it by any means. It remains there no matter what, and now I'm having trouble using the Paste Into command.

    Are you trying to move a background layer by any chance or a layer that is partially locked?? If you have show bounding checked in the option bar you should see the bounding box.

  • Eraser tool in Photoshop CS5 (block mode)

    Hello, experts:
    Several months ago, I noticed that, when using the Photoshop CS5 eraser tool in block mode,  it was not working right up to the edges of the tool (the block icon that apperars on screen). In other words, when erasing, I have to guess how near it is safe to move it towards something I need to protect, and this uncertainty can cause errors in my work. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anything that can be done to cure it?
    With thanks in anticipation of  a helpful reply,
    True To Form

    The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
    Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

  • Mouse4/Mouse5 for tools in photoshop cs5

    Im using a logitech mx510 and would like to use the buttons on the side (mouse4/mouse5) as shortcuts for my move/brush tools. However, photohop  says it only allows me to use A-Z on the keyboard for tool shortcuts. Is there anyways around this?
    What I REALLY want is to be able to select a layer just by clicking it in the comp. Right now I have to ctrl+opt+cmd-click in order for it to do that, and that only works when I have the move tool selected! It'd be nice if I could highlight the layer just by clicking it with mouse4 and then be on my way. I couldn't find any shortcut in the keyboard preferences menu that functions like that but would love to know if this is possible, thank you!
    Another thing I've been curious about is whether or not its possible to make it so photoshops 'Save As' command can default to a certain type/folder?  I work at a news station and I make about 30 graphics a day - all .pngs, all going in the same folder. It gets pretty old having to navigate to the right folder and change it to a png every time, and when I make it into an action it overwrites the previous file each time. Any ideas?

    Your problem stems form upgrading CS5 to 10.7 without first checking, CS5 Photoshop has issues in 10.7, it's being rewritten and there is a CS6 Pre-release that works for 10.7.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    GO back to Snow Kitty 10.6 for now on a DU Zero Erased drive under 50% filled,  wait it out until CS6 and works on a new 10.8 machine released after this summer, make your hardware software RAM decision then, likely 15" or better.
    10.7 is 64 bit like 10.8 will be, so little changes to 10.8 CS6 will be needed to work.

  • No 3D Tools in Photoshop CS5 Extended!

    I upgraded from Photoshop CS5 standard to  CS5 Extended but can't see the 3D tools in the menu - just shows the standard menu... I re-downloaded and re-installed, but still no 3D. What am I doing wrong?

    How did you upgrade to Photoshop CS5 extended?  I didn't think Adobe was selling upgrades to Photoshop CS5 any longer.
    In any case, activation is where the differentiation is made, based on the content of the serial number - both use the exact same install.  Deactivate and reactivate with your new serial number and the features should show up.  You really didn't need to reinstall.

  • Problems with selection marquee in Photoshop CS5.5 on MacBook Pro with Hi-Res Display

    A few months ago i bought a 15" MacBook Pro with the hi-res display (not retina display...just the higher res display offered prior to the release of the retina display).
    I'm having trouble with Photoshop and selection marquees. In particular, anytime I make a selection while viewing the image at 100% zoom level (so, actual pixels), the "marching ants" selection marquee I draw always shifts over a few pixels after I draw it.
    So I'll make a precise rectangular marquee around an object, and it will look right, until I release the button on my mouse. The moment I release the mouse button, the marquee shifts over a few pixels in both directions (vertically and horizontally).
    This has never happened on any version of Photoshop or on any Mac I've ever used before (and I've been using Photoshop for a LONG time on LOTS of different Macs), so I can only assume it has something to do with the Hi-Res display. This same version of Photoshop works just fine on my previous MacBook Pro laptop. But after installing it on the new MacBook, immediately - and consistently, every time - it happens.
    If I zoom in and use the tool, it doesn't have the problem. It seems to only occur when viewing at 100% (which is usually for me), but it does do it EVERY TIME I use the rectangular marque tool.
    It's driving me a little bit batty.
    Anyone else?

    An update...I had thought to try changing the Open GL settings, but it didn't seem to make any difference. However, I hadn't realized that you need to restart Photoshop for changes made to the Open GL preferences to take effect, so I wasn't actually changing anything.
    Turns out, it's an Open GL drawing issue - and disabling it fixes the problem.
    Of course, you also lose all of the other enhancements that come from enabling Open GL drawing.
    I'm only leaving this discussion up in case anyone else with the same problem stumbles across the issue.

  • Help! Can't use Text tool in Photoshop CS5

    When I launched Photoshop this morning and opened a file containing text and an image, I got the following error message:
    "The type layers in this document were rasterized because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
    When I created a new, empty Photoshop document and selected the Text tool, I got this error message:
    "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    The Photoshop text tool is useless at the moment. I tried relaunching Photoshop and restarting my computer to no avail.
    Nothing has changed in my Photoshop installation except that I recently installed FontExplorer X Pro on this computer and activated the Photoshop CS5 plugin that comes with the program. I have now uninstalled the plugin, but the Photoshop text tool still doesn't work.
    Suggestions greatly appreciated. I need access to a fully-functional Photoshop ASAP. Thanks!

    Since you're having the same problem with a different font manager installed, it looks like the problem may lie with Photoshop rather than the font management software. I'm going to file a bug report with Adobe.
    Meanwhile, you might want to uninstall Photoshop CS5 (Utilities/Adobe Installers/Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium) and reinstall it from the original disc. You do not need to deactivate anything before doing this.

  • Move tool crashes Photoshop CS4

    Hey =]
    I have quite a large problem with  PS CS4,
    Whenever I use the move tool, I get the message "Photoshop CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    I'm running Vista 32-Bit.
    It worked fine until about a week ago when I de-fragged my HDD, I've tried Uninstalling and then Re-Installing, no luck.
    So I tried to delete my preferences, again nothing, so then I tried resetting the tool preferences, once again, no luck =/
    I also tried Installing my old copy of CS3 and the same problem occurred.
    I have the latest version of CS4, my drivers are up to date and so is my version of Windows.
    Any Ideas? They'll be much appreciated.
    Thanks =]

    Look in the Vista event log and post the crash information please.
    Update PS CS4 to 11.0.1?
    Did you try to delete the prefs the MANUAL way? Here is how to do it in case you didn't.
