Photoshop :: All Tools Acting As Eraser

Apr 8, 2013

CS5:
 
All the tools on my toolbar are working/acting as the eraser tool, ie. attempting to crop erases, using the type tool erases. I've reset the tools and tool presets but the issue still stands. I am not in quick mask, the issue starts immediately when I open Photoshop.

Photoshop :: Eraser Tools With Wacom Tablets?

Apr 22, 2013

Would like to add improvement to assit drawing in Photoshop
 
1. flipping wacom pen to pressure sensitive eraser  photoshop switch to eraser tools, but the top menu did not switch to eraser properties
 
* would like switching to eraser tip, top menu also change to eraser options together, when flipping back to pen's tip, photoshop auto switch back to previous tool options this implies current workflow would be drawing and erasing with toolbox or shortcut B, E together with wacom pen tip rather than quick switch to eraser side. (if you need to change eraser options)
  
2.  Photoshop CS5, CS6 for windows, while using wacom eraser tip to change Size or Hardness slide bars from the top, would remove the integer number inside the dialog, it causes a dialog would pop up with "An integer between 1 pixel and 5000 Pixels is  required. Closest value inserted."
 
Click OK and popup will disappear, Size/Hardness would be filled with correct selected number again,  it is troublesome, as size and hardness changes a lot while drawing. have to keep clicking OK on every changes.

(on screen opacity and flow slidebars works fine)   Same changes to Size/Hardness slide bar work with normal pen tips side, and if using pen tips alone, (not using eraser tip) it is wonderful with new brush size & color picker shortcut added from CS5
 
#2 has been tested in mac version photoshop CS4, both Size and Hardness slider works fine without problem.
 
#1 + #2 made me work with pen tip + hot keys B,E all the time,   eraser side is almost not in use,  except erasing with the same size & hardness from last used

Photoshop :: Cc Tools Stuck / Only Eraser Works

Oct 3, 2013

Everything will work fine for a while, then all tools will stop working and the only thing i can still use is the eraser.  If i select another tool, it selects it on the toolbar, but its still just still the eraser.  The only thing i can do is shut the program down and restart it.  I have tried reinstalling and this makes no difference, same with restoring all defaults.  It DOESNT do this in cs5, just the latest version. Do i need to just ditch the latest photoshop and go back to cs5?

This is a sample of how the tool is not using the entire diameter. This could be either erasing or painting a color.

Xara :: Shape Builder And Eraser Tools

Mar 1, 2013

Up in the Xara Xone a discussion cropped up that started us talking about the eraser tool. So I thought I'd get a thread going here where everyone can share tips and tricks regarding the eraser and the shape builder as well

The eraser tool is available in Designer Pro X, and Photo & Graphic Designer 2013 And the Shapebuilder is available in Designer Pro X

To start things off here are a couple of handy tips:

You can force the eraser to produce an opacity mask and non destructively edit vector shapes in two ways. 1. set some softness or 2. group your vector object with it's self.

You can use the H key to toggle the node view on and off . If you have Designer Pro X the shift key toggles between the shape builder and eraser tool for handy editing.

GIMP :: 2.6.12 - Wacom Eraser Works Like Brush Not Eraser?

Jan 25, 2014

I'm using a Wacom Intuos2 tablet with GIMP 2.6.12, and it works fine except as the subject says, the eraser works like a brush. In Photoshop, I don't recall exactly what it does, but I believe switching to the eraser (meaning flipping the pen over to the "eraser" side" switches from the foreground color to the background color, so that it effectively works like an eraser.

How can I do that, or something similar, in GIMP? I've searched everywhere and most of the posts have to do with getting the tablet recognized (check) and implementing pressure (check).

Photoshop :: Eyedropper Acting Up!

Oct 24, 2005

press i or select the eye dropper tool, the colour you pick becomes the foreground colour. You can also press alt to select the colour for the background. However somehow this action has been reversed and now i have to press alt to select the foreground colour.

Really annoying as it slows down my workflow when painting. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this, there doesn't seem to be anything in the prefs dealing with this. Also reinstalled ps a week ago which fixed it, but has now happened again!

Photoshop :: Text Tool Acting Up

Jul 9, 2007

I was in the middle of creating something when the text tool stopped working. I will type something and it won't show up but in the layer tool box the name of the layer will change to what I typed. I've tried playing with everything, it doesn't have anything to do with the formatting of the text (font size, spacing, color etc) and it isn't hidden behind any layers or anything.

Closing/restarting doesn't work either and it does this on every new/old image I try to open/create. I haven't changed any settings or anything and I can't figure out why it randomly stopped working.

Photoshop :: CS3 Acting Slow On MAC / Purge Cache?

Dec 3, 2012

Using my MAC version 10.5.8, and when searching for images in Bridge, whether it is among 3 external hard drives or just one, the search has many long delays, somtimes I think it is my mouse, then I see the images taking a long time to scroll and long time for thumbnails to appear.  My mouse seems to jump around, but I think it is a delay.  Do I need to purge cache?

Photoshop :: CS6 Crashing And Acting Erratically While Working With 3D

Oct 3, 2012

CS6 keeps crashing and doing crazy things on me while working on my 2D/3D composite digital room setting. It seems to me like what's causing most of the crashing is the materials. Here's the problems:
 
- Crashes constantly while simply trying to select a material from the 3D panel
- Sometimes places meshes in a totally different spot in the scene and dissallows me to move them elsewhere
- Meshes are gone when opening the file, and I can't get them to reappear
 
I'm trying to stay composed at this point. My artwork would look great if, well, 3D in CS6 would simply WORK. But I'm remaining calm, and consulting you all..
 
I'm modeling, texturing, and UV mapping the 3D room objects (such as tables, chairs, hutches, etc.) in Maya 7, exporting as .obj files and placing into PS, and merging them with the scene layer in order for everything to have consistent lighting.I've also tried taking the 3D settings to Basic and the shadow quality to low, in case the crashes are due to cpu performance. I've also went and got the latest update for PS CS6
 
Here's some system specs:
 
Win7 Home Premim, 64 bit
2.8ghz Intel Core i7
8gb ram ddr3
NVidia GeForce 310 512 mb

Photoshop :: Glass Filter Acting Wonky

Jul 31, 2004

I have a layer with a shape on it and the rest of the layer is empty (transparent).

I applied the "glass" filter to the layer and got a cool effect where the glass rippling is translucent.

When I tried to reproduse the effect, the filter uses the background color (selected in the tool bar) to fill in the spots where in the previous version it became translucent.

The filter still works properly on a shape that is merged on a layer with no transparency (ie the layer is filled).

I don't know what I could have changed but obviously something changed.

CorelDRAW X5 :: Save Function Acting Oddly

Mar 20, 2012

I'm working on a big document (we use cdr for producing brochures).  I know that when I save it takes around 30s, but as soon as I click the save icon it greys out as if it's saved the document instantaneously (as do the save, save as and save as template menu commands).  

Unless I wait the 30s or so, when I try to do something the program either doesn't respond or crashes.  If I wait, it's ok - trouble is I don't know exactly how long to wait as there is no on-screen indication (and the icon is telling me it's all done, which it isn't).

Illustrator :: Why Are Text Boxes Acting Like Paths

Sep 26, 2013

I'm using AI CS6, opened it up today and all the text boxes are behaving like paths. I can only resize them using the direct select tool. I don't know what happened, I've checked type preferences, nothing there seems to be odd.
 
I would attach a screenshot, but the "Insert Image" button brings up a white box that tells me the "Operation timed out."  Not my day for software.
 
Basically, once I create a text box, I lose the ability to resize it unless I manipulate one corner at a time with the direct selection tool.

Illustrator :: The Eye Dropper Tool Is Acting Funky

Jul 26, 2013

The Eye Dropper tool is acting funky. It was preventing me from picking up the color of my template when in outline mode - instead selecting no fill and no stroke. I finally got it to work by unchecking "Appearance" in the tool options. I didn't actually change any settings inside appearance (everything inside is still checked). That did allow me to select the templates color, but now it is also selecting my "path color". If my layer's color is set to Cyan for example, eye dropper actually selects cyan if i click on the path.
 
Is there a way to allow template color selection but avoid path color selection?
 
EDIT: I just discovered that these settings don't even pick up the template color correctly. They choose the color of the auto-dim/opacity that occurs when setting a template.

Lightroom :: Highlights Slider Acting Unexpectedly

Feb 2, 2014

With the attached raw file, and the below settings already in place, why is it that when I move the Highlights slider to the right, the image darkens, and to the left, it lightens? Something rather odd is happening in the lower half of the histogram.  The original file has very low contrast.  I haven't seen this behavior with other files.I'm Using LR 5.3 in Windows.
