Photoshop :: CS6 Mixer Brush Stops Painting And Turns Into Hand Icon
Jan 12, 2013
The CS6 mixer brush stops painting and turns into a hand icon, with only the index finger out, when I paint near the top left of my screen. It's about 3 inches from the left and 2 inches from the top.
Â
I don't have this problem in CS5.5/CS5.1 or CS5 . what the hand icon with only index finger out is for? It's not the move tool icon. I should also add that I'm using Win7 and a Cintiq. and I should add that the standard brushes don't have this problem in CS6.

I'm comparing the CS5 & CS6 mixer brush, with moist, light mix, right now...At first I wondered why the CS6 mixer brush was slower, until I realized that it looks like the actual brush stroke in CS6 is more advanced. The CS6 stroke looks like it's calculating the overlapping brush strokes & it's interaction with the texture more accurately to real life.
Â
I haven't read any articles on improvements to the CS6 mixer brush. Has it actually improved or are my settings just different in CS6 from CS5? since I'll probably need to work with "Sample All Layers" unchecked when working with the CS6 mixer brush.

I have the brush and the layer set to 100% opacity and the layer is set to normal but it's not coming out normal.. I choose a pink color and stroke somewhere and it comes off as a highlighter yellow and looks like it's about 20% opacity in other places on the layer the color doesn't even show up.. I take a pink color and color over a black and it turns red.. and other places it's completely normal.Also i can erase a color and then paint in that spot but if i don't erase first it won't let me paint there.
Â
Btw I've tried checking my layers brush settings and opacity all fine. I'm using photoshop CS6

In CS6, I am trying to apply color to the Canvas with the Mixer Brush, though it is not working. I am using Wet, Heavy, Mix brush and I select Blue as my foreground color, the color is showing in the toolbox and up above in the options bar, though when I paint it just seems to smudge the colors on the canvas. What is wrong with my settings?.

So normally when you hold the space key and drag, it just moves the canvas, but every now and then, seemingly randomly, it zooms way out and shows a little box which is the size and shape of the area of canvas I was previously looking at. If I move the box and let go of space, it zooms to that location, but all I wanted was to move normally. I don't think I've ever wanted the zoom out, move, then zoom back in behavior.

Trying to do a normal projection painting and getting darker skins. I tried to turn on and off the gigatel to see if fixes the problem but still gives me darker color. Tried using Ptex to see if this fixes the problem, problem still remains. None of the techniques I tried worked...
When I use the standard mudbox base head, no issues. It paints as it should. When I open my sculpted mesh portrait, same workflow and it gives me much darker image as the video shows.

I have a Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch on Windows 7 64-bit and it appears to work fine in Windows on the desktop and in MS Paint. I can drag a box on the desktop, scribble in paint to my heart's delight, etc.
In PSP X4 the pen works...briefly. If I keep the pen down enough to make the red light appear on the tablet (to say it has detected the pen is close) it will happily draw in freehand with the paint/airbrush. If I lift the pen high enough to go out of detection range and put it back on the pad, PSP won't paint. The mouse will paint and the pen will work with tools like Pen or Flood Fill and in other apps but freehand doesn't work.
To get freehand back, I need to click on a button, tick box or other window control on the screen with the mouse. Then I can draw freehand again until the pen goes too high.
The PSP when it goes wrong like this is strange. Hovering the pen within detection range moves the cursor as normal, but on pressing down the 'dot' (or circle depending on brush size) stays where it is without making a stroke. The cursor moves around normally otherwise without applying anything to the image.
I've tried to re-install the drivers with a new copy from the manufacturer's site and removed Windows Tablet Support but nothing works to resolve this.

I'm a photoshop noob and I just purchased the CS3 version.
I've been experimenting with different texts and styles and everything was going fine until..
I must of hit something by mistake but every time I click on a new tool icon on the left hand side (like text or brush for example) it doesnt come up. When I mouse over my image all I get is the hand icon. Its like stuck on the hand icon or something. I've been trying to figure it out for the past 20-30 min.
Closing photoshop doesn't fix it either. I'm thinking I must of put myself in some special mode or something. The tool will be highlighted to the left..but like I said all that shows up when I mouse over is a little hand icon.

So I'm working on this composition with a lot of 3d layers. Sometimes when I switch views, the hand tool stops working completely, for no apparent reason. I hit space, the hand icon still shows, but nothing happens when I drag the cursor. Then after a while it starts working again, for no apparent reason either.

I have been running CS5 for over a year on Windows XP and today it won't launch. No messages-nothing. When I click the PS icon it turns light blue as if launching but then nothing.

After loading a photo and creating a new layer so that I can make adjustments I don't seem to be able to select a tool eg a brush. Every time I move the cursor into the photo it returns to being the little hand icon and therefore won't let me paint (or do anything to the photo.

I'm trying to create a oil painting feel to a project I'm doing. Before I start I wanted to ask around first about the best brush to use, or a brush that I have to play around with the presets to create a good effect for the project. Any tips for this type of look is welcomed. As a reference point I'm using a jpg of planet Earth for this project if it helps out in describing the effect I might come out with.

I am having a problem with my brush/stamp/eraser tool in photoshop CS5.5. Whenever I click to paint, erase..etc it will sometimes randomly paint elsewhere on my photo. Sometimes it will paint just one spot or other times it will paint a whole line or squiggle across my photo. I have checked my brush settings and I don't have anything turned on for it to do so (i.e. scattering, shape dynamics, spacing).

For the last three versions of Photoshop the shortcut keys [ ] for brush size stops working. Why is this not fixed? The other shortcut that shows brush size in red.

I have been searching for a brush, preferably a soft round, that will grow in circumference as I paint a straight line.
Â
i.e. : a brush that starts at say 15px then changes to (e.g.) 18px then 21px, 24px, 27px so on and so forth (And I mean one that will do this without having to stop and change the px size manually).
Â
I tried the brush settings where one can change the angle, roundness, px size etc. but there doesn't seem to be a setting that'll provide what I'm trying to achieve.
Â
I've been Google'n for the last 45+ minutes without any luck. Founds lots of other really nice brushes & btw, if a brush says that it's for Photoshop Cs4 do you know if that means I cannot use it for Cs6? Just wondering.
Â
So, if you already have such a brush would you be willing and/or able to share, or if you know how I can make one myself, that would (also) be great. Â
PS. If making a brush is difficult to explain just tell me and I will find a tutorial online. I don't mean to ask you to do my homework.

Just wanted to double check if the brush cursor rotation updates realtime in Photoshop CS6 WHILE painting. i.e. not when Intuos Art pen is hovering but in the middle of the stroke.

I've got to the stage where I have to say something, because Photoshop CC is definitely buggy in my experience to date. The one that annoys me the most is that I suddenly get stuck with a small brush tool that won't go away without restarting Photoshop. I can be doing pretty much anything, and suddenly the tool I thought I was using turns into a small brush. it lets me save the file before I have to restart Photoshop.
Â
I also get Photoshop freezing for about 30 seconds when nothing is happening.  It was impossible to embarrass my NLE system with CS6. I couldn’t even make it lag, yet alone freeze.

brush painting on adjustment layers is not working at the correct opacity. For example I have it set for 100% but its only working at 10 or 20%. How can I fix this?

Upgraded to Illustrator CS6 and as I paint with the brush, it only shows the path while drawing until I release my Wacom pen. I want to see the shape of my line as I'm painting it.

I am working on a project for my online class and am having difficulties with the History Brush. Note that both files are identical in size etc.
Â
1. I created a color text file and saved it with a specific name.
Â
2. I copied an existing photo from iPhoto, as I couldn't import into PhotoShop, and pasted it in a new file. I then removed the white background layer and then saved it with its now specific name and closed the file.
Â
3. I re-opened the Color Text File.
Â
4. I then re-opended my photo.
Â
5. I performed a "Select All" from the menu bar of my active Photo then selected Edit - Copy and then closed my Photo file.
Â
6. From my Color Text File I selected Edit and then Paste from the menu bar.
Â
7. I selected Layer and Flatten Image from the menu bar.
Â
8. I right clicked the background image from the Layers Panel and created a snapshot (which is my photo)
Â
9. I selected the History brush and verified that this also displayed in the gray box associated with the Color Text file within the History Panel.
Â
10. I verified that my photo image was displayed in my work area.
Â
11. I start to fill the photo with my History Brush and the only color I get is White.

I am trying to locate information on how to achieve a real time display of the Gaussian blur while painting with the brush.
Â
Google is not being useful, nor does Adobe's own forum searches yield anything useful.
Â
I have seen mention of Smart Filters and designating the layer as a Smart Object in order to enable a Smart Filter but I can't seem to get the real time display of the filter when painting so I'm not sure if that proccess is at all useful for me or not as I can't locate information specific to what I'm trying to do.
Â
I'm incidentally using CS5, so if this option doesn't exist, that would be useful to know so that I'm not spinning my wheels.

I was using Roto Brush for a while today and everything was working as expected. I Roto Brushed about 20 frames, just doing touchups where necessary. However, after a while, Roto Brush just stopped responding to new strokes. I could not add or remove from the mask. I've tried flushing the RAM and then restarting AE but the problem persists.
Â
I'm using After Effects CC on Windows 7 64-bit with 16GB of RAM.
Â
I made a screen cast to show the problem. You'll see me painting to add and remove from the mask on a couple of frames. Roto Brush looks like it's going to do something but then nothing changes in the mask.URL....

This is something that we’ve seen intermittently on our and others' Macs:
Â
you hover over the pin of an active brush and the overlay appears.you move off the pin, but the overlay stays.when you now continue to brush, the overlay is erased in shrap edged, blocky strokes as if the brush was a square shape with no feathering.Â
From all I can remember, it seems to be triggered only by larger brush sizes. Toggling the brushes panel or the overlay usually clears it up. It seems to be purely a display glitch not affecting the actual brush.
Â
We’ve seen this happening in LR3, so it’s not new.

I just installed CS4 on a lovely new Dell notebook with WUXGA display (1920x1200) and am having a problem that I have never seen before. When the brush tip is small (up to 35 px at 100%)Â I see the entire circle defining it, but as I move into larger and larger tip sizes the circle starts to disappear from the bottom right, becoming just a smaller and smaller circular fragment until it disappears entirely at around 300 px. If I select the center crosshair, this also disappears around 200px (when only a small circular crescent is left), and then reappears at around 400px (minus any trace of the circle). It is obviously some sort of display issue: if I change the image size the behavior is the same when the circle is the same size onscreen, so it is the display size and not the absolute pixel size which determines it. This happens whether I choose normal or full-size tip. Has anyone experienced this? It is not only annoying, it is positively serious, since at certain sizes I cannot even tell where or how large the brush is. Clear type on or off makes no difference. I have not noticed any odd display behavior with any other program.

I've a character writing on something (it could be paper, wall, etc). Now I'm looking for a way that attaches brush to his hand for interactive writing on that object.
Don't say I have to sync it manually! it's a close up shot and motion captured movement. Indeed it's really complex movement! Imagine you are painting on a sphere with Maya's texture paint tool.

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.
