Wacom Cintiq Right Click Brush Tool Problem in CS5

Hello Everyone,
So I've been trying out the new CS5 and was excited to try out the new brush menu on my cintiq. When I tried it out it was awesome but when I right clicked using either the mouse or pen, the quick access brush menu invokes on the laptop monitor rather than near the cursor like with other tools or other versions of photoshop. It is really annoying to have to drop the pen in order to adjust the brush. Totally slows you down. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I've searched around a bit and have yet to hear anyone complain about this. I suspect it might be the same for dual monitor setups? Thus far just CS5 has this glitch with the brush tool.
Any help with this is much appreciated.
Thanks!
~Carlos

I'm having the same issues as you describe. CS5 (64-bit) and my Cintiq seem to be working well, except for the annyance of the brush window location... I'd like it to "pop up" on the Cintique where I'm doing all of my active work. Unfortunately, the pop-up window will only open on the main (non-Cintique) monitor.
I've searched the web, the Adobe forums, and the Wacom forums, but very little information is available on this topic. I would think that there would be a lot more activity on this subject, but perhaps there's a work-around that we haven't found?
Any help is definitely appreciated!

Right+click brush panel problem

I use dual monitors. Tools on one monitor, doc. on the other. When working on the doc side and I right+click to bring up the brush tool panel to quickly change brushes, size, etc. the brush tool panel opens, but on the monitor with my tools not under my brush on the doc side. Basically this below.
I painted, right clicked to change brush size and the brush panel opens hugging the right side of the other monitor. My brush is the round in the black paint. (I tabbed my other tools out so as to make it as clear as possible.) Any help I can get with with this will be a huge help.

Thanks for your response. I'm not sure if that's the problem however. My drivers are up to date, and my G.C. is set to where it should be. Also I have no problem operating anything else on the other monitor, and right clicking to open another window (i.e. magic brush tool right click to deselect, feather, etc., right click using the crop tool) all work on both monitors. Which is why I think it's a bug.

Inconsistent Alt - Right Click Brush Resizing in PS CS5

Anyone else seeing the new brush sizing gestures working inconsistently?
If I hold down the Alt key and click the right mouse button...
- Sometimes I see a red brush facsimile that I can resize or make harder/softer by moving the mouse right/left or down/up. I assume this is the intended behavior.
- Sometimes I see just an outline of the size, which I can resize by moving the mouse right/left. Hardness may be affected, but it's impossible to tell.
- Sometimes I can't use the gestures at all; Alt + Right Click simply does nothing.
I haven't been able to put my finger on it or investigate it in any great detail because I'm usually working on something and want to continue concentrating on that something. Usually I'm using the Spot Healing brush, or the Clone tool, or the Eraser tool, or the Paintbrush tool.
Complicating matters is the fact that I use both the 32 bit and 64 bit Photoshop CS5, and it's possible I have some setting different in one than the other. I've been trying to use them kind of interchangeably just to get to know them.
I just started both 32 bit and 64 bit versions (in succession) and tried all the above tools, and found that the second problem above was manifesting only in the 32 bit version. Then I noticed my OpenGL settings had disappeared again. I had thought the ATI 10.5 drivers had solved that, but apparently not - at least not completely. So I'm back to using the AllowOldGPUs_ON registry fix until the next ATI driver update. Sigh.
After the registry fix, and verifying OpenGL settings are "Advanced" on both 32 bit and 64 bit versions, I see the red brush for all the above tools.
I'll watch for the gestures going away again, and post the edit log (which I have enabled for detailed text logging).

Brush Tool problems

I am having an ongoing problem with the Brush Tool in my PSE9.
I have the question written out in Word Pad but I can't seem to copy & paste it into this box. The 1st thing I need to know is how to copy & paste my simple text question here.
Bob

Barbara B.:
It has been several days since I heard anything from you on my ongoing Brush Tool problem. From your digging what have you found? In the past 10 days I have continued spotting B&W negative scans & trying to collect additional information on the propensity of the brush tool to create a line running across the image. Basically what I have found reinforces the 7 points/factors I outlined in posting #14 on 7/7/12. I'll go over & expand on those again here.
1) When the line runs it always goes from where I am currently spotting to some point I previously clicked & put a spot. This is not necessarily the most recent spot. It can travel to a spot I did 30 sec. ago (& have done several others in the interim). It does need to be on the visable portion of the screen.
2) As stated. The width of the line is the same as the width of the specific selected brush size. Usually between nos. 4 & 9. The tone of the line is the same as the tone selection (so far I have only experienced this with B&W).
3) The more I spot the slower the computer's reaction time becomes. After spotting for an hour, or two, I will see several seconds between the time I click on a spot & the time the spot actually appears on the negative. I have tried turning off PSE & rebooting it. This seems to speed things back up for a while.
4) When the situation in #3 occurs I obviously can't click rapidly.
5) I still don't understand why this happens at all. I move the curser outside of the image frame towards the Vert. & Horz. slider as I get ready to move to a new part of the image. I place the curser on the slider control a left click (as though to move the slider). Instead of moving the slider it shoots one of these lines out onto the image from under the slider control & out onto the image field to some point where there was a previous spotting click. These lines will often run half way across the image field. I have saved some of these examples & could attach them to an email for you to see.
6) Once one of these lines start appearing, or running, they seem to increase with frequency. Almost as though the software is developing a memory. As I say in #3, if I re boot PSE the memory either is erased, or at least reduced.
7) The only time the original statement is not totally true is when a line runs from under the slider (which is outside the viewing area) out into the visable image field.
Here are some additional factors I have noticed:
8) I normally begin spotting by setting the view drop down to "actual pixels". I notice that If I further magnify the image by then clicking once on the "zoom in" option I have a reduced frequency if these wild lines appearing. This may be due to the fact that when the image is larger I am working (stippling) at a slower rate.
9) If I have a hair or scratch on the neg. (normally using a drawn line to obliterate) & I use a stippling/clicking pattern rather than a drawn line the frequency or chance of a free running line is reduced - not eliminated, but reduced

Right click on tools

Clearly a big newbie here, super basic question.
CS5 Illustrator on Windows 7, cannot right-click on Tools to access the other tools. For example, on the Pen tool, I must use keystrokes P, +, -, Shift-C to switch between pen and anchor point tools - I cannot right-click to have the options displayed. No trouble in Photoshop, right-clicking works fine. What am I missing? thx

Left-click and hold down for a second or so.
This is the method (as explained in the documentation) for all Adobe programs with the familiar toolbox interface. The right-click thing only works in Photoshop and is an anomaly.
Photoshop Help file says, "If there is a small triangle at a tool’s lower right corner, hold down the mouse button to view the hidden tools. Then click the tool you want to select."

How do I change the pop up menu for right click to Tools?

Hi,
I generally know my way around Photoshop but for some reason this has me stumped.
When I right click on the image I'm working in (using my Cintique pen button) I get the Brushes panel as a pop up.
Very handy, but I hate Brushes- I much prefer Tools (even if most of my Tools are modified Brushes).
How do I change this pop up so it shows the Tools?
I've looked in both the PS prefs and the Cintique settings.
Think I'm just not doing it right.
Please help if you know how to make this change.
Thanks,
Tom B
I'm in Mac OS 10.5.8 running PS CS3

Thanks Trevor, been trying various options along those lines.
@c.pfaffenbichler
Yes, I'd like to raise the Tool Presets panel by Right Clicking using the Cintique pen.
In just the same way as I currently do to access the Brushes panel.
"Then what did you mean by »even if most of my Tools are modified Brushes«?"
As above- "A Tool may be a Brush (or an Eraser, or a Cloner, etc) though not all Brushes, etc, are Tools."
Just as one might say "all swans are birds, though not all birds are swans."

Ctrl+alt, right click brush size

ctrl+alt right click horizontal and vertical brush size
Using both Photoshop cs 6 and cc on Mac.
The alt + ctrl + right click whilst dragging both vertical and horizontal to change the size and hardness of brush no longer functions.
In CC when I alt + ctrl + right click the entire document frame moves.
I have tried resetting my preferences to no avail and I am now desperate for a solution to this problem so I can restore photoshop to it's original state.
Running Mac OS X 10.8.4
Imac 2011 and 2012 both 27"
Macbook pro retina
this problem is replicatable on all hardware, using either the in built track pad, magic tractpad or magic mouse.
Kind Regards
Mark

Hey Mark,
just try alt+ctrl+left click.
I just randomly got it. Saved my day!!!!
(Found your thread cause i had the same problem)

Right click on tool does not show additional tools anymore.

CC Illustrator version 18.1.1 on Mac Pro, Windows 8.1 partition, mac full size keyboard, logitech mouse. All software up to date, reinstalled illustrator, reinstalled mouse hardware and driver. Reset default essentials and tools window several times and turned computer on an off.
Right click works in other programs, desktop etc...
literally worked one day and didn't the next.
I'm petty sure this has to be operator error but, like, how?
Its a right click…..
This is how it used to work:
Step one:
right click on shape builder tool...
Step two: (automatic)
other tool options pop up….
This is no longer the case.
If anyone is compelled to say something like… "its left click and drag…." please stop and update the current version of your illustrator to CC 18.1.1
I have no idea how other versions of illustrator work, but I do know thats not how it works in CC 18.1.1
I'm not trying to be a smart ***, please don't interoperate this to be anything other than a guy trying to figure out why the most basic of things is not working and I've already had a great many people look at me like I'm an idiot for asking about this problem….

buitesnek,
You may try the list which cures strangenesses, especially those that appear after things have been working. Some of the things to try on the list may seem weird, but every one has proved to work in some strange case.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. 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.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 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), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
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 (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Spot healing brush tool problem

I am having a lot of problems with the spot healing brush tool. I am getting asked to use the alt key to pick a spot. It should not be doing that. It acts as if I were using the clone stamp tool, which I do not want to use now. Can anyone help me with this? My software is Photoshop CC and is up to date.

Click and hold on the healing brish on the Toolbar. You have the Healing brush selected, and you want the 'Spot healing brush'

Adobe Flash Professional CC 2014 [Brush Tool Problem]

Hello I have been trying to fix a problem with the brush tool I found out about recently. [ I have a graphic tablet/drawing tablet ] Every time I have the brush tool selected, and try to write something a line is drawn on the canvas. It's really hard for me to explain the problem so here is a screenshot.
I don't know how to fix this problem, and I already tried to re-install the software, but it doesn't seen to make any difference. Any suggestions?

Right click Inspect element problem

Hello,
I am using Developer Tools in Safari on daily basis, but what really bothers me is the fact, that when you right click an element and select "Inspect element" from dropdown menu, Resource Browser is opened but the actual line of code is not focused. What is focused is the last line of code you have inspected before.
Could this be fixed by Apple? Before I started using Macbook, I was using Google Chrome and this feature works there just fine.
Thank you in advance.

CS5 brush tool problem

For some reason, the brush tool refuses to work properly for me anymore in photoshop. It will now only draw vertical or horizontal lines. This is very frustrating cause it was working fine when I first installed it. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the program, deleted the presets, and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas what might be going on here?

Well, apparently this is a problem that has been occuring after updating to 10.6.5. Logging off or restarting the system seems to solve the problem for the time being. But I never had these kind of problems with CS4.

Right click layers list problem

Hey
I just installed the last version of Photoshop CC on PC computer, and when I'm right clicking on a layer
inside the document I'm working on it opens the list of layers, but doesn't selecting imminently
the layer I'm pointing on.
anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks!

I don't think it should change the Photoshop target till you click onto one of the layer names in the list.
If you have the move tool active and have auto-select checked in the tool option bar Photoshop should change the targeted layer to what you pointing to with a left click.. A right click pop up a list of layer that have pixels in the area your pointing to and may also have some option like isolate layer, link layers ,unlink link layers etc depending on what is currently targeted.
I think what your looking for is the move tool auto-select left click behavior.

Healing Brush Tool Problem

How can I stop being kicked out of my Photoshop Elements 3 pr

They're the keys to the right of the "P" key, the ones with the square bracket symbols.
