Photoshop :: Brush Tool Not Working! (desperate)
Jul 20, 2009
photoshop has decided to immobilize the lock transparent pixels and more importantly the lock image pixels, therefore not allowing me to paint.
Im trying to use the brush tool with the curves layer to brush away bits i don't want to edit in the layer. the brush tool comes up in the history box but nothing is happening on the image.
Im pretty sure i need to unlock the lock image pixels button but have not idea how or why this has happened in the first place.

So everything is fine until I use the select tool, and then free transform a part of the image. Then my brush and eraser stop working until I save and restart the program.

I am having problems with the free style tools, brush tool, lasso tool, etc. when I open Photoshop everything works fine but as soon as I press any key, the brush tool makes just one dot instead of a line, I can't slide any adjustment bars, like to make opacity from 0% to 100% or change diameter of the brush, any movement in the mouse is like I just made a single click, I wait around 10 minutes and everything is ok again.

My history brush tool doesn't seem to work! I am doing it just as I used to use it, so I definently know how to use it. Yes, I am using it on the desired layer. I don't know why, for these past few days, it hasn't been working like it used to!

For some reason, my brush tool randomly stops working, even the preview thumbnail won't show a brush stroke. Also, my eraser has been acting up, first only adding black, then erasing layer and I can't set it to white. I have PS Elements 10.

My settings for the Healing Brush Tool are as follows:
Â
Size = 19 pxHardness = 50%Spacing = 15%Mode = NormalSource = SampledI used "ALT-Left Click" to select my "Source".Â
Here's my problem: Once I have selected my Source, I go to the area of the picture I want to modify and Left-Click and start to drag to cover the area I want to modify. Once I reach my end point, I release my mouse button. In doing so, the area I just modified returns to its original look before I modified it.
Â
I have tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to work

I've been using adjustment layers (curves) and creating a dark / light layer, and then using a brush with opacity of say 30-50% to paint onto the mask to show dark / light in selected areas of an image.
Â
Until yesterday this was working fine. Now however, my brush is appearing pixelated, and scattered about like an airbrush or spray paint. Rather than all the brush being smooth. Even at 100% opacity, not all of the pixels are altered, instead there are clearly visible (when zoomed in) pixels which are lightened / darkened, and some which have been totally unaffected, which leads to a horrible pixelated effect.

Am I the only one having trouble with the brush tool using a touchscreen running Windows 8? The touch feature doesn't work at all, and the mouse is intermittent, at best.

I have cannot paint in black to conceal on a layer mask. I have "NORMAL" mode set and the foreground color is set to black. When I paint or use the gradient tool in "normal" mode with black it paints to transparent.Before the upgrade it was normal.  I have this problem on both CS6 apps pc-and-laptop.

As pointed out in the thread subject line, both the clone stamp tool and healing brush are not working for me in Photo Elements 7.When I am attempting to use it, I get the message: "Could not use clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined". Â Well, this is not the case since I did define it with command Alt + left mouse click.
Â
Background:Photo Elements 7 is installed in Windows XP Professional SP3. The latter runs as a virtual O/S with Sun VirtualBox on host SuSE Linux 11.1 (Gnome).

The brush tool is no longer working - when I select on any of the brush tools, spray, Art burhs, spray , line, marker etc, they will not work. When I select the drop down nothing is listed. Additionally, none of the other tools in the box, Effect Tool, Image Sprayer too ect, do not work as well. Did I select something to turn off the tool?
I've tried to uninstall and re-install and that did not work.

The brush tool loses the outline of the tool as the diameter gets larger. e.g. at 175px there is a fill outline of the tool. At 200px only a semi-circle is shown.

I'm having a problem with the Blob Brush tool where I can't change the basic brush to something else. Whenever I pick a brush I want and I try draw with the Blob Brush tool, the brush I picked reverts back to the basic brush. Here are screenshots:
Â
I pick a brush that I like first
But when I start drawing with the Blob Brush tool, it reverts back to the basic brush automatically
Am I doing something wrong or is the Blob Brush tool only capable of using the basic brush?

I only had Adobe Photoshop for about 2 months now. I have been using the Low Key tool in guided alot. Here recently I went to edit a photo and my reduce effect button tool will not work. I tried everything from restarting my computer and the program. I love using this tool but I can not get the reduce effect to work.

I am experiencing two problems. One is the tool icons in Photoshop are disappearing on the screen. I move the cursor and see nothing on my screen.
Â
The second problem is at other times the proper tool icon and function is not showing up and working. I select for example the pen tool and the hand tool icon show up and the function works as the hand tool not the pen tool?Â

I'd like to know if there is a way to "organize" my brushes. I have gone crazy and loaded "lots" of different types of brushes. Now ... when I open up the brush pallette, it is very slow to open. So ... I need to "somehow" organize them in a way that will allow me to be able to select a brush "group" (like lightining, or edge border brushes) WITHOUT having to search and look through hundreds of brushes. I am sure there is a way, but can't seem to find the technique.
Â
Also ... I find that no matter if I have one or hundreds of brushes, I have to memorize a brush "number". Is there a way to re-label the brush name to something I can relate to?

For some reason photoshop at times will only let me erase or draw within the confines of a specific layer. It seems to happen randomly without me accidently hitting a hotkey of some sort.
Â
For instance in the image below, I was drawing and randomly I noticed I could no longer draw. It would only let me use the brush/erase tool within the confines of the line work I had already established. The only way I have been able to correct this so far is to completely restart photoshop.
