I user Photoshop CS3 extended and for mouse I use the mouse that came with my Wacom Graphire board. This board came with a mouse as well as with a pen.
From time to time I cannot use the brush tool with the mouse but only with the pen.
I would like to know if there is a setting someplace or if this is a freak problem with device drivers or similar.
I'm trying to create an image where the amount of color I paint is based on the mouse movement, i.e. if I paint to the right I'll get 100% of the color I paint, and if I paint up or down I'll get 0% of the color I paint, and then the same thing for painting up and down.

wouldn't it be intuitive to make the eye dropper/color selector bound to the middle mouse button?
As far as I can tell, a middle mouse click does nothing in PDN right now and when I tested to see if this feature was already implemented, it just felt right to me.
So I say follow in Notch's footsteps with the middle mouse button, afterall he himself advocated PDN on his blog for creating games
I am finding some inconsistencies when using tools provided in Paint.NET.
For 2 examples, I'll simply describe the behavior of the Escape key.
-----------
Exhibit A:
I would like to use Text to type in some letters with different colors. What I would do is press T (shortcut key for Text), select a color, type a letter, press ESC, nothing happened, click somewhere else, click back to the letter, select a different color, type a letter, ESC, nothing happened, repeat...
After I'm done, I press ESC again with nothing happening, and press a different shortcut key to continue editing, like O (shortcut key for Line/Curve).
Exhibit B:
I would like to draw a circle and a line. After finish typing, I press O four times to use the Ellipse tool, draw a circle, and then press ESC. Nothing happened. Next, I press O once to use the Line tool, start drawing a line, and then press ESC. At this point, my drawn line is canceled for good, and I need to either use Redo to recover it, or redraw the line again.
------------
Here I present to you these two exhibits. Notice that sometimes, pressing ESC does nothing other than jumping back to cursor, and sometimes cancelling the action that was done.
Would it be possible if the Escape key has a consistent action throughout all of the tools?
Add keyboard shortcuts (or at least the option to define them) for all the layer commands. When I say, "all the layer commands", I mean a keyboard shortcut to do anything you can do with the mouse in the Layers window.
Specifically:
Move Layer Up / Down,
Toggle Layer Visibility,
Select Next / Previous Layer (or some set of commands to navigate layers.)
Select Next / Previous Visible Layer could be nice too.
This thread from 2006 asked for similar features, but no thread necromancy.
Implement these shortcuts. Having to grab the mouse to do simple layer operations feels awkward and breaks my flow.
I want to write text then make it curve up/down etc.. without using a object. But by using my mouse.
Is this possible?
I remember I was able to do this in PSP 9 but that was a long time ago. I would be able to do it with my mouse. I get the box now after I apply text to Move, Rotate, resize, but no curve. I remember in the past dragging my mouse pointer to the center of the box and getting a option where I can move the text to curve it up or down. That is what I would like to do again.
I have PSP X4
I have used mostly Corel Draw or Photopaint for quite a while in combination with 3d applications to do architectural renderings etc. I do have a question here about the "simulate pressure with Mouse" button in the Pen Settings. I can get my stylus pressure to work but I can't get the "simulate pressure" for the mouse icon to do anything. So my question is does this work and if so how do I get it to work.

No matter what you do, no matter which magnification level you're working in... any rectangle drawn is never put exactly where the mouse button was clicked or lifted.

I recently have developed a problem using Photo Paint. I have already tried to use F8 and restored factory settings, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I do not have this problem when logged in as the guest user on my computer, just under my normal profile. I want to correct the settings under my normal profile.
When editing the tool tip does not line up with the selector or cross hairs. For example if I have the paint tool selected and try to paint it actually begins painting about two inches from where I want to begin painting. See picture below: The small clear circle represents where I want to begin, but the red dot is where it paints.
When I move my mouse over the drawing area, the brush simply freezes at the corner next to the rulers, the regular cursor continues to move and I can click on the buttons, tools and menu, but my mouse is not functioning in the workspace, I can use my wacom tablet fine, but I still need my mouse to be functional for lassoo tools etc.
It is a very recent install, I may have some how buggered the mouse input when configuring my wacom.
I'm running Arch Linux, with KDE.
how to turn off the mouse function when the mouse cursor moves over a feature, such as an edge, point, or surface, and highlights it. I don't want it highlighting the features automatically. I want it to highlight once I click over a feature. My colleagues and I are very distraught by this feature, and will be discontinuing our use of your products that do not allow us to turn this feature off. I'm not sure why you'd want to weed your customer base like this, assuming that I can't turn this option off from the research I've done pouring through the hundreds of complaints related to this issue. I haven't been able to find any posts recently, or regarding Inventor 2013 specificially on this issue, so I was hoping this version had the option of turning it off. Does any of Autodesk's software, such as AutoCAD, have the option of turning it off?

I see the hand icon and the scroll bars when the whole image can't fit on the screen but when I left click it's like I hit the Esc button.
Clicking the scrollbars will work but isn't as convenient. Under the Manage tab it works correctly. I have reset the workspace with no luck.
I use this feature a lot and would like to know if others have this problem.
The problem existed in X5 SP2 and now X5 SP3.
I followed the tutorial on this page: [URL]. However, my animation auto plays and mousing over has no effect. I have searched and sreached to no understandable (to me) avail. Here's a link to the file: [URL]

View 4 Replies View RelatedI decided to do the Creative Cloud thing. Installed Photoshop CC trial. Opened up a new document and tried to drag out a selection box ... and nothing. I can't drag my mouse. I can click on things. But dragging doesn't seem to work. Neither does right clicking.
So for example, I can't move layers. I can select them in the layers panel, but I can't drag them in the workspace. Same with sliders. I can select a location on a slider, but I can't grab the handle and slide it around. I've tried resetting preferences, restarting, and disabling graphic card acceleration.
I'm running Windows 7 x64. My mouse is a wireless Logitech that I haven't had any trouble with otherwise. I opened up paint and it can track me dragging my mouse around to paint (so it's not just a ****** mouse connection or anything).

I recently noticed that when I am making small brush strokes or just cliking around with simple tools in CS4, that right after I'm done making the stroke, the busy symbol pops up for a second. Even if I don't really change any data and just click in photoshop, the busy symbol on my mouse will flash for just split second. I'm not sure if it's always been like that and I never noticed, or if it's a new thing. It's really annoying when I am making a whole bunch of tiny strokes on some photos, and it keeps poping up real quick even when the stress of of what I'm doing is comparibly nothing for the power of my computer. Does anyone else have this issue or know of ways to get rid of your mouse showing that busy signal so much?

Now it should only do this when I right click! It's rather annoying...and I have no idea how to change it back. I did a little snooping in the registry but found nothing.
when I roll over the pic, it didn't change to its original?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having a very strange issue with Photoshop CS5 (both 32-bit and 64-bit)
When I go to draw anything or move anything, the canvas does not respond to mouse events at all. Right clicking doesn't work, dragging edges of the free transform box doesn't work, even the top menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc) does not detect when I mouse over from one menu selection to another (e.g. moving the mouse from "File" to "Edit")
Noticed that photoshop CS6 on Creative Cloud at least seems to lag when I try to move a layer around or a selection around with my mouse after I have used my tablet. So what Im trying to say is that I can move selections around with my mouse or with my tablet and they move fine but when I do anything with my tablet and the go back to my mouse thats where I get the lagging movement. If I then at that point try to move the selection with my tablet it doest lag around. As I try different things with my mouse after I have used my tablet nothing else seems to lag just moving the selection with my mouse. Any others having this issue or know what may be the cause?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently updated the operating system for my Mac OSX, and I believe this is where the issues are stemming from.
I've been working in CS5 using a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet along with the stylus pen. Recently when I am working in CS5 I've noticed that while using the brush tool the little "dot" tends to dissapear while painting. This also happens if I use a short cut ie. brush tool/command key/eyedropper. The only way for the "dot" to return is either to move the pen around the screen, clicking on things until it reappears OR using the magic mouse, but sometimes this doesn't work either.
I am not very knowledgable in Mac or CS5, and I have tried resetting some of the controls, but nothing seems to be working.
Or is it something I have to configure in preferences? Any version as it's never worked. But currently CS6
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am on a Mac Pro with Magic Trackpad. Using Photoshop CS5, the cursor/pointer disappears after a while, and I have to switch to another application, then back to Photoshop to bring it back. The pointer does not disappear over the image window, just over the tool palettes, toolbar, menus, etc. This is a recent development, and I've only ever seen it in Mountain Lion. None of my previous systems exhibited this behavior.

CS2 / WindowsXP - Usually when I DESELECT an image (the marching ants) by keys CONTROL-D, or by right-clicking the drop down DESELECT, isn't there another way to DESELECT by...
... just r-clicking away from the image using the mouse to deselect the marching ants? I'm drawing a blank and I have tons of copy, pasting to do, and my right hand is getting very, very tired. I'm sure I used this function before, I just forgot how to enable this function.
I have been to the EDIT> KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS and PREFERENCES, but nowhere can I find this.
Am I tripping, or is there a way to actually do this?
I'm a CS3 user, but just downloaded CS4 for trial. Unfortunately based on my experience so far it's unuseable. The problem is that Clone, Healing, Brush tools do not respond to my Wacom Mouse (I can move brushes around, but can not apply any corrections).
 If I use the Wacom pen, it works fine. I've seen a few posting on the Internet from others with the same problem, but can't see any solutions identified. I have Vista Ultimate 64, Intuos Tablet/Pen/Mouse, 8GB Memory and latest tablet drivers.
is it possible to configure photoshop to zoom out on right mouseclick. The same way it zooms in with left mouseclick.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got PS after using Paint Shop Pro for years, and since I'm so adjusted to the PSP tools, I'm wondering if there's a way to customize Photoshop to what I'm used to. At the moment, this means reversing the direction PS zooms when I scroll the mouse wheel, and also getting it to actually ZOOM whenever I do this, rather than scrolling. Is there something I can do to tweak these settings?
