I'm using Photoshop cc and cursor changes to and is stuck on eraser. I tried resetting prefrences and no change. I restarted computer and it switch back to normal for awhile, then it changed again. I wasn't really doing anything except placing one photograph on top of another. It just switched automatically.
When I open Photoshop, no matter what tool I select, it seems to be stuck on the 'Eraser Tool'. For example, I can seemingly select the pointer or marquee tool ok, but when I tried to do something on the art board, it's as if the eraser tool is selected.  Deleting Preferences didn't work. Reinstalling Photoshop didn't work. Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7
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?Â
eraser cursor…. When it circle’s size is small, it the whole outline shows up. But as I zoom in, or expand the cursor size part of it disappears and gets to the point where only about 25% of it is left visible.
The cursor displays the Hand on any image I open, regardless of what tool is selected. I can select other tools, change the pallette and the cursor is normal but I go back over to the image and it goes to the hand and I can't do anything.
So I was working in 3D and I guess I pressed some kind of button or something that caused my 3D cursor to only move along the x=0 line. If I move my cursor up, it moves it lightly sideways. It stops when I move into side/top/front views, but as soon as I pan into 3D view, the cursor only appears along the x-axis. I'm probably overlooking a simple AutoCAD command, but I'm a new user and I can't find the answer anywhere in the manual or on the internet.
I'm in Illustrator 5.5 and my cursor is stuck on the pencil tool. I can't change the tool with either my mouse or hot keys. I can't even select all my artwork to paste into a new file.
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).
My cursor appears and disappears while in GIMP as I move the cursor over the canvas. I can make the cursor appear but only if there is no movement of the cursor. It makes no difference which tool I select, the size of the canvas, or the level of zoom.
Please note that this only occurs in Gimp, and none of my other applications. It started when I upgraded from openSUSE 12.1 to 12.2. I'm assuming that it has something to do with my input device configuration, but I could be totally wrong.
I have a total of 3 input devices - Core Pointer, Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, and Virtual Core XTEST Pointer. Both the Optical Mouse and XTEST Pointer are DISABLED. Core Pointer is the only one enabled. Enabling Optical Mouse and XTEST Pointer give me other problems in Gimp and need to remain disabled.
For the Core Pointer, Mode is set to SCREEN, a message says that 'The axis X has no curve', and the following Axis Settings: X 1 Y 2 Pressure none xtilt none ytilt none wheel none
In Gimp Preferences->Input Controllers, there are three active controllers - Mouse Buttons, Main Mouse Wheel, and Main Keyboard.
In Xcode, we have to define cursor as: Â resource 'CURS' (16001) { Â Â Â $"00 00 00 00" Â Â Â $"18 00 3C 00" Â Â Â $"1E 00 0F 00" Â Â Â $"07 80 03 C8" Â Â Â $"01 E8 00 FC"
[Code]... Â In Windows we use .cur file, simpler. Â I want to convert .cur file to the mac format above, how?
I'm just starting using CS6 for real work. I have a file that is stuck at 'Saving 0%'. It's been like that for 24 hours. I've managed to duplicate the file (Image > Duplicate) and re save it, so all is OK. How can I avoid this?
When I go in to photoshop, and click to get to the color selection, the window that I am to select colors from is half cut-off, if that makes sense. In other words,
I cannot click cancel or okay, nor can I select my color. So I'm stuck with photoshop open until I close it with ctrl + alt + del.
I'm using Photoshop CS5 with a Wacom cintiq, and the brush size is stuck at 1 px, it won't change size no matter what -even if the brush size is set to 1000 px, the brush will paint a scraggly thin line... Â I've changed brushes/ opacity/ flow/ pen pressure/ restarted photoshop/ restarted computer/ shut down, etc. It doesn't changeIt works just fine in the mixer brush tool, but not the regular brush tool..
Im on windows 8 64bit. I'm currently on the CC trial but was planning on signing up for the subscription this week. However After updating my apps this morning I have been unable to load Photoshop CC. It gets stuck at "reading preferences..." Â Premiere Pro and After Effects were updated and were running fine afterwards.I have tried restarting my system, reinstalling the app and I have also uninstalled everything and done an adobe cleanup tool run and reinstalled just photoshop. But still the same issue?
I'm having a strange reoccurring issue with 3D items in CS6. Lately, it's been involving 3D postcards. Whenever I merge them with another 3D layer, hide then unhide them, they reappear in a completely different position and get "stuck". When I try to move or scale them, they snap back to the previous location.
I have a jpeg file that has black & red graphics in, the boundary between the two colouts is anti aliased with reddy black pixels.
When I open this same file on two different machines I get a different CMYK representaion of the anti-aliase pixels.
In one case they are missing about 15% C. It's the same jpeg file, both machines are using PS v7.0 I can only guess it's some sort of set up difference in the installations but I have no idea where to look.
When i was working in PS CS3, i pressed the 'b' shortcut for the brush tool. Instead of giving me the brush tool, it made the screen slightly brighter. Thinking it was strange, i pressed it alot and the screen is now around 50% brighter/blown out. Which is not good when preparing images for print!
When photoshop is open, all of my windows, whether it's firefox, or the desk top, are bright as well. As soon as i close PS, it goes away. I've reinstalled Photoshop with no luck, and the brightness factor isn't effecting any of my other CS3 programs.
Occasionally my PS gets stuck in Move Mode. Only the hand icon appears in the picture I'm attempting to edit. If I select another tool via the tool bar, or short cut, the tool bar on the top line changes appropriately, but the tool icon in the window remains the hand (move tool). The only way I have found to resolve is close PS and re-boot the PC.
I have a multi layer psd and when I try to select a layer object and copy it, the copy function is greyed out and the only thing I can do is paste.
If I let it have its way, it pastes in a previous copy. After pasting, I try to copy again, but the paste function is the only one active. I can not get PS CS3 to let me do a copy.
I can no longer access the organizer function of my PE 8. I received an error message and it just doesn't open. I sent back the error....no one has assisted. The Edit function still works and pulls up. The old photos are still in the system, but I can't pull up my albums.
however the eraser tool and other methods of getting to transaperency are not working. Perhaps it is a problem with locked background colours or something, however my eraser tool is defaulted to erase to white not transparent - see picture. Â have tried ctrl+shift+alt at start up to restore to factory settings, and even uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but no luck.also when i go to refine edge after a quick selection, there's no transparent option
Eraser and background eraser won't work when I'm in the midst of editing in Photoshop, but if I save the image as a jpg then I can use eraser. Is there something wrong with my Photoshop settings or something I'm not doing right? I have version CS 5 Extended 12.1 x64.Â
having an issue with photoshop's eraser: the outline is not showing (the little line-circle-thing that shows the area to be erased). This happens for both the paintbrush and pencil selections of the eraser, but not for the block version
I tried changing the dimensions and such, in case it was too small, etc, and I had her restart photoshop to see if that fixed it -
I have a strange eraser problem. Whenever I try and use the eraser tool it just paints the secondary color instead. In other words, instead of erasing anything it just acts like a brush.
I have tried installing the latest drivers for my wacom (prolly not the problem since it occurs with the mouse too). Just reinstalled photoshop [the entire program...re installed] and it STILL happens!!!Please help me reconfigure this silly eraser.
I'm trying to figure out the Background Eraser tool. I understand that I am supposed to trace around the subject of interest without allowing the centre mark to touch the subject. I notice that it draws a puffy white border around the subject. Then what? What have I done? I don't see a new layer, new channel, or selection. I am able to "paste", which creates a new layer. This new layer shows my selection with the background painted white.
using a airbrush softbrush 100 which I only have a 50? But more importantly using it to delete a section of a layer so you getthe layer behind it shining through but it's like an airbrush so no hardlines:
