Why have I lost my options in the tool panel

All my tools only give me one option. For example the dodge and burn only allow burn.  This has happened since I updated photoshop.

A little more info about your system may be helpful.
I haven't seen a lot of folks reporting this issue here on the forum.
You could try resetting your Photoshop preferences to defaults.  Press and hold Command - Shift - Option simultaneously (or Control - Shift - Alt if on a PC) immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.
The "nuclear option" would of course be to fully uninstall and reinstall...

  • Why do I need to press the CTRL-button to view my extra options in the tool panel?

    strange!
    all of the sudden, I don't get my extra tools in the tool bar (left) when I hit the black traingle in the right bottom corner.
    It appears to be the same problem in ALL my CS4 programs.
    I thought there was a conflict with my system OS X 10.6.2.
    but after searching for days, I see that the extra options in the fly out menu become visible when I hold the CTRL-button and click on the black traingle.
    any idea what has happened here?

    thanks michael for replying,
    but I didn't need to do that in the recent past!
    when I simply clicked on the triangle, all the other options become visible. now, when I only click, nothing becomes visible!
    now I need to click using the CTRL-button at the same time.
    what has changed here?
    I phoned my collegue. he doesn't need to use the ctrl-button either...
    what did I miss???

  • Why have I lost PDF printing capability through the File Print menu?  When will it be fixed?

    Why have I lost PDF printing capability through the File>Print menu?  When will it be fixed?

    What app are you using to view PDF files? Preview can be a poor choice for some PDF files - I recommend using Adobe Reader - http://get.adobe.com/reader/ - perhaps it will solve your printing problem.

  • Why have I lost all the books in my iBooks library?

    Why have I lost all the books in my IBooks library since it was updated to iBooks 1.5. My library is now blank & I'm not a happy chappie!
    Can anybody help me please! I'm disabled & it's not easy for me to sync my iPad with my PC so I'm hoping that I won't need to do that.

    You can redownload any purchased books without syncing with your PC. To do this, open iBooks on your iPad, click on the Store button at the upper left of the screen. Once the store loads, you'll see a tab labeled Purchased on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Click there and you'll be able to download any books that you purchased from the iBookstore.

  • Why have i lost all my contacts on my iphone4s that I just purchased 5 days ago?

    Why have i lost all my contacts on my iphone4s that I just purchased 5 days ago?
    I noticed that the contacts were there a couple of days a go and now the whole contacts directory is gone. This is my first iphone having had a Blackberry Storm prior to this. I just signed up for icloud and I'm wondering if it might have been something that I might have done. I'm not familiar with many of the options on the iphone.
    Thank you

    Have you tried to synce this with iCloud or resotre to factory settings? Try to sync it to your Itunes again and lets hope for a good result.

  • Why have I lost radio 4 on my ipad, iphone and ipod. I have tried lots of different british radio apps.

    Why have I lost radio 4 on my ipad, iphone and ipod. I have tried lots of different british radio apps.

    I can't tell you how it happened, but if you want to get them back on your other devices, download the app My Contacts Backup on your 4S and use the app to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send the email to yourself.  You can open the email on your iPad and tap the attachment to import the contacts to your iPad.  If you want them in iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn Contacts to On before importing the contacts.  If your computer is signed into your iCloud account this will also make them appear on your computer.  If not, import the vCard attachment to whatever contact management program you are using on your computer.

  • Why have I lost video sound on my ipad?

    Why have I lost video sound on my ipad?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

  • DIM-00035 You have entered and invlaid option for the -EDIT command

    Hi Experts,
    I am creating oracle instance using oradim utility. I am using oracle 9.2 on windows 2003 server.
    I have installed oracle 9.2 and created ORCL database as part of installation. Now I have deleted ORCL database using DBCA. Now I try to create a new DB instance.
    I ran the below command:
    c:\>oradim -NEW -SID <sidname> -SRVC OracleService<SID> -INITPWD <password> -pfile <pfilepath>
    I am getting the below error:
    DIM-00035 You have entered and invlaid option for the -EDIT command
    Please help me why I am getting this error even though I am creating new service.
    Thanks.

    The definition for INITPWD is:
    -INTPWD password is the password for the new instance. This is the password for the user logged in with SYSDBA privileges. Option -INTPWD is not required. If you do not specify it, then operating system authentication is used, and no password is required.
    The passwords for SYS and SYSTEM are created later - when the database itself is created. Nevertheless the error message is strange, there is no -EDIT option in the command. Moreover -NEW and -EDIT are mutually exclusive.

  • Rather than go to the home page I have specified in the General tab of Options in the Tools menu, Firefox keeps going to a truncated version of this url.

    I have used the following URL as my firefox home page for quite some time:
    https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search
    Several months ago, malware of some sort replaced this url with one of their own. I got rid of the malware and put back my original home page, but I'm continuing have a problem: Every time firefox goes to my home page, rather than using the whole url that I've specified, firefox truncates this url to just the first 87 characters, and goes to this truncated url instead:
    https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+
    Not only is this not the url that I have specified in the General tab under Options in the Tools menu, I always get an error message in an additional tab whenever Firefox goes to this truncated version of my home page. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get firefox to use the entire url I have specified as my home page in the General Tab under Options?
    I do not know if this is relevant or not, but I noticed that prefs.js includes two other user prefs related to the home page in addition to the one that identifies the url I chose:
    user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search");
    user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID", "20130617145905");
    user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "22.0");

    You need to escape the pipe character as %7c if you want to include it in the URL
