the problem seems to happen when I fool around with my projects layers (turning turning them on and off) all my tools lock up and when i try to click back onto my work.
I get this error "Could not use the brush tool because of a program error"
Then I need to save my work and restart PS to work on it another 5 mins before it locks up again.
Im using a wacom tablet w/ newest drivers.
Create a new document.
Add a new layer (you should now have a file with 2 layers)
Choose Select>Deselect Layers
Click on the QuickMask
paint within the mask with brush
error:
"could not complete the Brush Tool command because of a program error."
workaround - keep a layer selected.
When I use the quick selection tool (or when I use content-aware scaling) I get an error message saying "could not complete your request because of a program error." I am working with NEF files, 4 GB of RAM, fast machine with plenty of scratch space, Radeon X1950 crossfire graphics card. With small .jpg files, the problem doesn't occur.

I am currently using PS CC and can't use the eye dropper tool. I get a dialog box that reads "Could not use the eye dropper tool because of a program error"
I have tried the tool from many angles thru the color picker, shifting the brush tool, ect. I get the same message. The eyedropper works for me in Illustrator.
You don't realize how necessary the eyedropper tool is till it is not working! I have rebooted, tried 64bit and 32, uninstalled CC and and reinstalled with no luck.
I'm trying to do some work on a file I set up months ago. First, I tried to copy some text to paste into another program. I got this back:
"Could not use the type tool because of a program error."
I'm using a font called Hit the Road. Interestingly when I changed it to Myriad Pro it let me copy and paste.But - when I went to save the file out as a PDF, I got a similar message:
"Could not save as “xxxxxxx.pdf” because of a program error."
I've tried clearing my preferences and restarting the computer. I haven't uninstalled PS.

Working on a document with many layers, I kept getting a Program Error when I typed the double quote character into the type tool. This was not the usual Program Error in that it was recoverable. Other times I've seen the Program Error, Photoshop would stop responding & require a restart.
In this case, all I had to do was delete the double quote character, and Photoshop was back to normal. Hmmm...PSCS5.1 on a Mac Pro with Mountain Lion.
I try to use the quick selection tool in PS4, I get the message that it is not available because of a program error.

I have been re-saving many of my PSD files using CS3 image prosesssor with compatibility mode turned off. They have simply been saved again as PSD files into a different folder - no changes to the original PSD files. This has worked well and reduced file sizes by up to 50% (I had compatibility mode turned on previously).
of the 60 files I have processed, 3 will no longer open , I get a message that says "file will not open due to a program error."
these files have only ever been used in CS3. , they are quite large
from just under 1GB to 1.5GB, however other similar large files have processed successfully. I have re-tried without success.
I still have the original files so no data loss is involved.
I am not very good with photoshop, and if there was a brush tool setting to make it just like an actual paint brush.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have Photoshop CS (version 8.0) running on Windows XP Home (SP3). I searched the help files, FAQs, and the forums and didn't find anything related to this.
Today I opened a document I've been working on, created a new layer, picked a default 9 pixel hard round brush, and when I clicked on the canvas to paint I got "could not complete the task due to a program error" and right after this Photoshop shut down.
I ran my anti-virus, but the computer is clean. I then checked all the brushes in my Photoshop folder to see if there were any odd ones in there - there weren't. Then I closed PS and when I opened it again I held down Shift+Ctrl+Alt to reset the Prefs file. I created a new document and reset the brushes, then I tried once again to paint with a default brush. Again I received the same program error and PS shut down.
I uninstalled PS and reinstalled the program. I restarted my computer and opened PS and tried painting again - the same error, only this time PS didn't shut itself down.
I'm at a loss here. I know Photoshop can have some psychotic moments, but this is the first time I have encountered this weird behavior. If anyone can give me some suggestions on what might be happening and how to remedy it I would appreciate it.
the size of the brush at the Brush Mask Tool can not be changed when I pressing the Shiftbutton
X6.4 - Win7
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 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'm using cs3 on a WinXP computer and over the last few days I'm all of a sudden getting a pop-up box stating that a (some tool) could not be used because of a program error. Does anyone know what this is all about and have any ideas on how I can fix it? I've restarted PS and rebooted several times and that does not help.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe're having an issue with saving files using Photoshop CS6. Several of our users are unable to save, specifically on our server. They all get the "Could not save because of a program error" message. It doesn't seem to happen on the computers running Lion, but most of the people running Snow Leopard have the problem.
We've tried resetting the preferences, repairing permissions, etc. I read somewhere about unchecking the "ask before saving a layered tiff" button, but none of them seem to solve the problem.
How do I reinstall Photoshop CC? I appear to have created a problem by installing Photoshop CC over Photoshop CS6 and then deleting Photoshop CS6. When I open Photoshop CC i receive a message that there is program error. The Creative Cloud Application Manager seems to think that everything is OK and won't let me reinstall Photoshop CC. I am using an iMac and have Mountain Lion OS installed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use Photoshop daily (7.0). Just recently, I tried to save a photo and got the message "could not save because of a program error". After getting the message again tonight, I re-installed Photoshop on a NEW computer, (went from Windows 7 to Windows 8), transferred my images and got the same message. The strange part about this is that only some of my photos can't be saved - even those taken the same day. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
Details:
- they can't be saved in any format. I tried jpeg, tiff, png, etc. Same message for all.
- they can't be saved externally. I tried to transfer them to an external drive and got the same message.
- I tried uploading it to an online editing site and renaming it, then re-opening it in photoshop. same message.
I can't open photoshop cc, by the morning it was ok, but suddenly i doesn't work. I reinstall and nothing.
