Why does the eraser tool leave a stoke behind?

I tried expanded the appearance of the object I am trying to erase and my stoke is set to none and I have checked the settings and there is nothing there in terms of stroke. Here is a screenshot of what happens when I try to erase anything.
Please help I don't remember having this problem in the past but I am lost and I really need your help as soon as possible!

Look into the path eraser tool, which you can get to by clicking and holding on the pencil tool. Or you may have started with a broken circle in the past, rather than one that is connected the full 360°.
The top tool is the path eraser tool.

  • Why does the knife tool leave gaps in the shape? (CS6)

    When I use the knife tool on an shapeit leaves a gap where I slice. First I thought it was just an illusion in the program but it stays even after I've exported the image (both by "save as" in illustrator and "export" in inDesign). I've been careful not to move the shapeafter I used the tool so I don't think that should be a reason.
    I've tried on different types of shapes like normal circles and more complex shapes. I've also attempted to start a new file from scratch but with the same result  What could the reason be? Is there a setting I should be aware of?
    This is what I see in Illustrator:
    And this is what the image looks like when saved as pdf (in illustrator):
    It also looks the same if I place it in inDesign and then export to pdf.
    EDIT: I don't know if it is important but the size of the shape is about an A4 or there about.
    Best regards,

    Thank you for your reply, I still have a slight problem though,
    Turning off anti-aliasing in illustrator did take away the gap when viewing the artwork in illustrator, but as soon as I export it through inDesign or use "save as" to make a pdf the gap is back. Is there an option to turn off anti-aliasing when exporting a document?
    This is what I see when zooming in max (6400%) in acrobat reader:
    When u say it's a screen issue do u mean that the gap won't show when printed? The problem is that I'm doing artwork that will be shown digital as well. Is there a way to get rid of this?
    Thanks again for taking your time.
    Best regards,

  • Why does the pen tool remove previous line when I add new anchor points??

    Why does the pen tool remove previous lines??
    Video here:  http://youtu.be/8AmPUkD88h0 
    It removes the hairline on the face, when I add more anchor points. Why? And how do I correct it?

    The ins and outs of the new and changed behaviors in the re-engineered pen tool have been disussed here on this forum and I'm sure a little detour to the help files will also shed some light on this...

  • Why does the eraser break calligraphic strokes?

    Hi,
    When creating strokes with the calligraphic brush (using an Intuos5), I noticed that the eraser tool breakes the stroke thickness when apllied to the calligraphic stroke.
    The entire stroke defaults to an undesired,uniform thickness.
    See video here:
    http://bit.ly/10AN9WV
    So why does this happen?
    Is there some way to prevent the eraser from destroying the stroke thickness?
    Input appreciated.
    Kind Regards / Alex

  • Why does the select tool stop working and images save with areas missing?

    I have been working on an image using simple tools (only select, crop and scale) and no more than 4 layers.
    The quick selection tool, magic wand tool and polygonal lasso tools are not selecting simple areas. They leave square sections unselected, and eventually I can't select anything on my canvas. The paint tool also does not work. I decided to save the image I had made even though it was unfinished, and upon reopening the file (a PSD) there were square transparent areas that were not there when I saved it (see image)
    This is what I've tried:
    I work on the layer selected
    I have reset all the tool settings back to the default ones
    I have reset the program preferences back to default settings
    The Photoshop CC software is up to date
    I have turned the program and my computer on and off again
    Can someone please help?

    Is the damage actual or only display (are the layers complete according to their previews in the Layers Panel)?
    Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
    What have you done for trouble-shooting so far? (Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved mis usually a good starting point):

  • Why does the erase option need a different passcode?

    Hi guys!
    I'm preparing to sell my iPhone 3GS and I want to wipe the whole thing before I do.
    I selected the "erase all contents and settings" option and typed in the passcode and got an error, so I tried again and got another error.
    Why the passcode didn't work was beyond me as I've been using the passcode lock for a while. So, just out of curiosity, I tried activating the passcode lock and all was fine.
    So my question is, if the passcode works for the lock, why isn't it working for the "erase all contents and settings" option?
    At this stage, I'm guessing the two features are using a different passcode. But the problem is, I have no idea what this latter passcode is, nor have I ever known.
    I keep complete records for everything I buy, their settings and every service I use, and I have no record of any separate passcode.
    Any ideas how I resolve this?

  • Why does the Typewriter Tool stop working in an enabled Reader document?

    I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader (9.4).  I use it to complete Adobe Reader - enabled pdf forms.  The typewriter tool is available but periodically stops allowing changes in the font and font size.  These areas of the Typewriter Tool are greyed out.  You can still add text with the typewriter tool but only with the font and size that was last selected.  The only way to fix this this is to use the "Repair Adobe Reader installation" under the help menu but this almost always (>98%) requires a complete restart of the computer.  This quirk is extremely annoying and no one seems to know what causes it or how to stop it.  Has anyone else had this problem and is there a permanent solution for this problem?

  • Why does the straighten tool in Elements 11 freeze when I try to use it?

    When I click on the straighten tool and then click on a horizontal line on my photo, as I attempt to draw the line across the photo it freezes after a fraction of an inch and rotates the photo before I've drawn the line along the horizontal feature I'm using and it's always wrong. I had this problem with my downloaded trial version of Elements 11 and it appears on the version I purchased in the store today.

    I was able to replicate this problem and believe it may be a bug, although I did find a "workaround".
    The straighten tool was only drawing for a very short distance and then I would no longer see the straighten line.  Of course, this prevented me from using it properly.  I followed the suggestions in this thread and reset the preferences.   The Straighten tool worked normally until I enabled the ruler under the View settings.  Once, the ruler was enabled the straighten tool started doing the same thing it did before.  I turned off the ruler and it started working normally again without re-opening the program.  I tried the ruler both in the default inches measurement as well as pixels (my personal ruler preference).
    The workaround would be to turn off the ruler while straightening.  However, I hope this is fixed in a patch.  I didn't have this problem with Photoshop Elements 9, the last version of Elements I had prior to upgrading.    For the record, I'm running Windows 7, just installed Photoshop Elements 11 and immediately downloaded the updates, which I believe was just the Adobe Raw 7.3 update.

  • Why does the eyedropper tool set the background color swatch instead of the foreground?

    Whenever I try to use the eyedropper tool in Photoshop CS5, the eyedroper sets the background color instead of the foreground. I know you can swap the colors with the arrows, but Photoshop used to be able to just put the color in the foreground swatch without me doing any extra manual work. How do I restore it?

    Click on Windows and color.  There is a setting there to change from
    foreground to background.  The one with the box around it is the default setting.

  • Why does the clone tool not work? I just installed elements 9.

  • Why does the hand tool come up when I click the mouse?

    I am a very knowledgable individual of InDesign but this is a stumper. I cannot use any single tool that I have. When I press the buttons on the side, for instance the text tool, the image that should appear for the cursor does, but once I click the mouse, the hand tool comes up and drags my page around. This is even when the hand tool is not even selected. I am not pressing any buttons on the keyboard or anything, this is quite frusterating. I am trying to do this job and can't even edit previous files or make a new one. Should I reinstall, or what? Please help!! Thank you.

  • Why does the move tool and the resize function freeze when I insert pictures to a layer?

    This is very annoying. I was stupid enough to buy a one year subscription to Photoshop CC, only to find that it is ruining my happiness. I am trying to run it on a brand new Macbook Pro 15 retina i7 running Yosemite, and everything works fine, except for this one thing - when I drag a new photo into a layer, the resize function and the move tool stops working for a very long time. If I am patient enough, the functions will finally wake up. Is there a way to get around this problem?  I have searched the forum without any luck, and I am just about to start jumping up and down, calling Adobe by names that will make my neighbors cover up their ears. $/!"%%#/&%"#W)!ÆY!!!

    Right-mouse on the Synaptics toolbar icon  to bring up Mouse Properties, select the Device Settings tab, press Settings to bring up Properties for Synatpics ClickPad, on the left open Pointing... Sensitivity... Palm Check.  This is a feature to prevent accidental touchpad movement by your palm while you're typing.  So it prevents use of the touch pad when keys are directly used.
    Good luck!

  • Why does the DB Tools List Columns.vi only report -1 for the defined column size?

    I am using LabVIEW 8.2.1 with the database connectivity toolset with an SQL Server 2000 database. I would like to see how large a full record could be, so I used the DB Tools List Columns.vi in the database toolset. It easilly displays the column name and the column type, but only returns a -1 for the defined size. Of course when I add up the defined size elements, it gives me -351, which is the number of columns in that particular table. The vi I am using is very simple. I open a database connection, retrieve the data, and close the connection. The retrieved data is an array of clusters. I index it by running it through a for loop, and unbundeling each of the three parameters, and reforming arrays at the end of the for loop. This is as about the simplest vi I have ever made, but only part of it works.

    Table size.vi ‏23 KB

    SciManStev-
              I don't know if this gets you the functionality you want because I don't have access to your file, but I would have code it this way (see attached picture). I would have used a Array to Cluster.vi to convert the column info ouput array into a cluster so I could use Unbundle by name. I think this is what you are wanting because from what I see, you only access the file once everytime the VI runs (right?). Try this and let us  know how it works out. Thanks!!

  • Why does the Alexa Tool only show "private"? (No rankings at all.)

    Hello,
    Since the last update the Alexa Ranking Tool is not showing any rankings for any site. It constantly shows "private".
    I've tried everything recommended and checked every setting but I can't find the problem.
    Regards,
    Lizzi.

    Hello cor-el,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I've checked all those things and the settings are all fine. The tools menu displays the "Start Private Browsing". As I understand it that means I'm not in private browsing mode.
    I've done a complete system cleanup and rebooted a couple of times but it still says private. Update says I have the latest version of Firefox.
    I'm wondering if I should revert back to the previous version and see if the tool works again but I don't know how to do that.
    Regards,
    Lizzi.
