Where is the "brush pointer"?

I am using CS6 Extended on an HP DV7 laptop. I am taking a course in photoshop and need to use the sharpen tool in conjunction with a brush preset. The instructions say to click on the sharpen tool (ok I can do that) then to click on the sixth preset in the brush presets panel (okay I can do that) then drag the "Brush pointer" (a rectangle with rounded corners) across the area I need to sharpen. That's where I get stuck. I actually was able to do it the first time I tried, but now I can't find the "Brush pointer" again. I've tried several options but now I am just getting a circle, not the rectangle with the rounded corners.
Thanks.

I have been experiencing this same issue on a new mac mini running lion and aperture. Today I went to a local mac store and tried to recreate the issue on all of their machines, the result was that the Imacs and the 15 and 17 inch MBPs did not demonstrate the problem, however the 13 inch MBP and the 11 and 13 inch
MBAs both did. The machines demonstrating the problem were all dual core, and all utilising intel HD 3000.
I am satisfied that it is not an issue with corrupt software on my machine or faulty hardware specific to me.
Hopefully this can be remedied soon.

    How do I install it ? I do not have MTT and do not want to use MTT.
    It says "If you don’t want to use MTT, install these effects in Home / Movies / Motion Templates / Effects / Keying:"
    How do I do this ?

  • Where are the brushes stored other than presets brushes

    I have installed an abundance of brushes usually by double clickling from the download folder, and now I want to back them up. I have ran .abr spotlight searches and found nothing; they are also not in the photoshop > presets > brushes folder. Only the stock brushes are in there. Where can they be??
    I'm on mac osx by the way. Thank you!

    I did some of  my own research on this, and found this useful link: 
    http://www.creativepro.com/article/photoshop-brushes-frequently-asked-questions
    Follow these instructions to install brush sets:
    1. Download or move the .ABR file to a permanent location on your computer. This could be into the Photoshop Brushes folder (full paths below) or a central location you create for Photoshop brushes. To place it in Photoshop’s existing brush folder, move or copy the .ABR file to:
    Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CSx\Presets\Brushes\
    Mac OSX: Applications/Adobe Photoshop CSx/Presets/Brushes/
    2. Open Photoshop and select the Brush tool.
    3. On the Options bar, click the down arrow beside the brush shape preview. This will open the controls for brushes.
    4. From the brush control popup, click the right-facing arrow in the top right corner and select Load Brushes or Replace Brushes.
    5. When the Load Brushes dialog appears, navigate to the location where you placed the .ABR file and then open that file.
    6. If you chose the Replace Brushes command, Photoshop will remove any existing brushes from the Brushes palette, leaving you with only the newly loaded set. However, if you chose the Load Brushes command, Photoshop will add the new brush set to the end of the list of brushes.
    7. Start brushing!

  • Where is the Unloading Point ABLAD description?

    All,
    I currently extract the unloading point code via the field ABLAD in table MSEG. The problem is that this returns just a numeric code. I believe there is a table somewhere that has the text description but I'm not aware of the table name. Does anybody have any ideas what it could be?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    PP

    Hi,
    I guess we dont create any unloading points and assign it to plant and SL and use it during GR.
    We enter Unloading point in MIGO in where tab is just the description of place Specifying  the point at which the material is to be unloaded (for example, ramp 1).
    If u can check thr is no help option available for that field in MIGO, so whatever u enter thr u will get it in ABLAD in MSEG

  • Where are the bullet points?

    Where can I find the bullet points in the new keynote????

    Hello all,
    I fixed this by placing each bullet point into its own text box. The indentation issue still exists though.

  • Where is the brush tool associated with tablets gone to in CS6?

    I have a problem right now. Do you know that icon which is next to the brush size icon once you select the brush tool?
    That icon once you insert a drawing tablet in so that your drawings can be better with how much pressure you put into it? I forgot the name of it but it does not appear when I put my tablet in.. But it worked in CS5.5.
    HELP PLEASE. Without this tool, I basically bought CS6 for no reason as this is the most important thing I need to even begin any work.

    Hey there! Thanks for your reply as the whole adobe forum did not bother..
    But I already sought out my problem too by going on another forum and basically downloading the program that came with my bamboo tablet.. I left my installation CD at home you see, so I forgot that was what I needed to get the pressure sensitivity thing back. And I got it!
    Thanks, and what 'updates' were you talking about?

  • Where are the status points?

    Hi otn moderator,
    May i know why the status points are removed from the otn profile? Are you going to change the system of awarding points or going to abandon the points system itself?
    -Karthick

    Yes. Any information would be good. May I missed any news about this?!
    Reward system still in the FAQ. so I guess this is only a temporary situation.
    But it would be good to get some insider info.

  • Nokia E6 - Where is the Access point setting for Y...

    I have my Nokia E6 configured for my Corporate Email, MfE and it works fine.  In the settings for MfE, I see a setting for Access Point, where I choose Internet with Priority 1 as my Home WLAN and Priority 2 as my GPRS connection.
    Then, I started to configure my private Yahoo mail, evertyhing is done, it works fine, but I do not see any settings for Access Point for the Yahoo mail..
    Does this mean it picks up the settings from MfE??? 
    Can any other NOkia E6 users or experts comment on this??

    Hi Stuart,
    To answer your question:
    There is no shared secret for the ACS itself.
    If the ACS is going to communicate with another device, you have to define a AAA client and define a shared secret.
    ACS 4, used that shared secret to protect/secure the replication, in ACS 5, the replication secured with encryption and not shared secrets(hash).

  • Where are the Publics Points (Poi´s) added in the...

    Hi, thank you for your reply.
    Really the landmark was record in favorites. But the landmark (all) did not appear yet. I can not see it in the map until now. They were record last week. However, when i try add the same marker again the map inform me the marker already exist.
    I did not receive message about 24 hours only about more information. Perhaps the problem is the service does not work complete with my country or i should use internet explorer rather google chrome.

  • Pasting the position points of a mask path to a write-on brush position

    Hi there,
    So after effects is doing something VERY strange - I create a pen path by tracing a electrical signature in after effects (see pink path in the attached screen shot) , then I click 'm' short cut to bring up the mask path. I make sure the mask path is selected, then I copy it. I add the Write-on effect, and into the brush position, I paste the mask path points. I've done this exactly this way in the past but either I've lost my marbles or some weird preference is set to make the pasted path points both smaller and nowhere near the same position as what I have taken so much time to trace! Why??? How can it paste smaller and somewhere else? (green dots are going to be the brush points of the write on effect) Please help - I can't figure out what's the problem here - tried for the last 6 hours :O
    I need to reveal the original image with the write on effect I don't understand why it's not working this one time.
    Thanks SO SO MUCH!

    I assume  this comp will be used as a nested comp, inside a comp of other dimensions.
    Make sure that this comp's dimensions and pixel aspect ratio match those of the layer.  The Write-On effect should then work properly.
    If you wish to use the Write-On effect on another layer -- a solid, perhaps -- make sure to use the comp size for the solid.

  • Mouse flickering on top of brush point in Photoshop CS4...

    Recently the mouse has started flickering and not lining up with brushes when I'm editing photos in Photoshop CS4. When I use a brush, the mouse arrow will appear, flickering overtop of where the brush point is (the brush point flickers too when I move the mouse) so I can't see what I'm doing exactly. Really hoping someone can help! I installed the latest updates of Photoshop CS4 and it didn't help. Thank you!

    Mac OSX 10.8.4
    I really can't think of anything that has changed. I've just been using Photoshop the way I usually use it. I wish I could think of an easy fix! It strange because I don't even know where brush point is going to start working when I click because the arrow will sometimes flicker on top of the brush point and then sometimes an inch or more away from where the invisible brush is. I wish I could explain it more clearly. I tried to take a screenshot but arrows dissapear in screenshots. : S
    Thank you for trying to help!

  • Where are the bristle brushes in PS CC 2014?

    According to documentation PS CC has bristle brushes, but I can not find any brushes labeled such and no interface items to manipulate them as shown in the adobe-tv video: Working with the new bristle brush tips | Visual Design CS5 | Adobe TV
    Do these exist? Where are they? And where are the controls described in the video? (which seems to be for PS CS5 btw)

    on my system there are several default bristle tip brushes with small brush icons: flat point, flat blunt ... etc.
    upon opening the brush panel for any of those with the brush icon, you can select from 10 different bristle qualities shapes. 
    if you don't have these default brushes, might try resetting the brushes (right click down arrow on tools icon on menu bar)

  • Can I Move the Anchor Point for Adjustment Brush in ACR CS5

    It's never been a problem before, but the anchor point for the Adjustment Brush in ACR is sitting exactly where I need to see what is happening.  I can delete and start again, but if there is way to move or hide the anchor point while stil being able to adjust the setting, it would be handy to know for next time it happens.

  • How do you start the Brush tool from a last anchor point?

    Hi there,
    I'm somewhat almost a complete newb to Illustrator, and would really appreciate some help!
    Is there any possible way to continue a brush stroke from your last brush stroke's end point (the anchor point)? For instance, if I drew half of a circle with one brush stroke, and wanted to cleanly complete the circle by having the next brush stroke start from the point where I last finished, how would I do that?
    Any help much appreciated! Thanks!

    What tool did you use to draw? Since you said brushstroke will assume you used the paintbrush tool.
    Double click on paintbrush tool for the options. Change your settings to mine, especially the bottom 2 checkmarks.
