When I use any marking tool (Pencil, eraser, everything except pen, text, and gradient) the results are totally clear. YES, my opacity is on 100 percent. My color is black. But nothing seems to happen to my work when I try to scribble with the brush over it. The eraser doesn't erase. Et cetera.
Photoshop seems to think it does, though. I can 'undo' any completely invisible marks I have made.
I've reset photoshop to factory settings, and it's still doing this.
PS CS2. 4 GB Ram 500 GB HD, Win Vista Home Premium.
When I create a duplicate or other layer and try to clear portions of the layer, using a mask: I do not get a clear removal. There is an outline of maybe 1 to 3% that will not clear no matter how many times I go over it. I am using 100% Opacity and 100% flow.
seems to have started by itself. But who knows?? I have been on the road for the past 4 months and recently arrived back home and started to work on my photos. Computer had been shut off while away.
Open image in ACR make a few adjustments then open in photoshop as a smart object. Copy the background layer and change it to soft light adjust opacity to 20% save the image and then try to add a levels layer. After adjusting the levels photoshop quits. Also cropped the image after copying the background layer. This seems to be a new problem. I think there has been an update to photoshop since I last used it. Windows 7, 32 bit, 3gb memory, 4 processor cpu.
I currently have both PS CS4 and CS5 installed on my Windows Vista PC.I would like to totally remove CS5, and replace it with CS6.I understand that Adobe has a "tool" to entirely uninstall CS5.Where can I download this "tool", and are there any other issues that I should be aware of?
I have been using Photoshop 7 for years on my Vista home premium laptop, with no problems. Now suddenly, today it has started crashing on startup and, worse, locking windows when it does so. I get a windows has stopped working error. I restart and if I try again with PS7 I get a similar result but now windows locks up totally and I have to push the power button to get out of it.
I have already tried uninstalling PS and reinstalling, but I get exactly the same effect.
How do I create a new palette of swatches? I know how to add a swatch color, but how do I create an entirely new "partition" of my own swatches?  For instance, look at this picture here: See the "ANPA colors" "DIC Color Guide" etc?  How do I create a new preset where I can enter my swatches into so that it doesn't get crowded?
I've recently tried using the Photoshop HDR feature. I have selected three different exposures in Lightroom and chose to merge them as an HDR image. All went well until the preview. I've found some settings that work really well. I've decided to go for the 16-bit path, not using Lightroom's 32-bit image capability, and let Photoshop do the tone mapping for now. Â Here's what my preview image and the entire tool window looks like: [URL] Â And this is the result one step later. It's totally over-saturated and has other merge errors. It basically doesn't even look similar to the preview. What's the preview good for if it doesn't show what I'll get? How should I decide what setting works good if I can't see it? [URL] Â This is Photoshop CS6 x64 on Windows 7 SP1. The source images are 16-bit TIFFs as they were exported by Lightroom.
How do I totally delete mobile albums from the organizer? Having the "in Revel library" tag on all my photos creates extra clutter. It would also be nice to be able to totally disable the Revel agent without having to rename the executable.  More background is that I have an very large library (over 25,000 files) and Revel was not able to successfully synchronize it. Also, the agent created a directory in my catalog file structure that contained copies of original files, therefore using additional disk space.
I just installed Photoshop through Creative Cloud and my Liquify filter screen is totally black and doesn't show the image. You would think the default setting would be to show the image or layer,
If I import a picture to Adobe Photoshop Elements, the quality of the pictures lowers extremely as soon as it appears in Elements (drag & drop or by open it regularly). The lines/boarders are totally pixeled - why?
i have cs5 suite. last week everything fine in photoshop. this week, only the tools that are showing are available to use. i can not access the tools when i click on the corner of individual tools. i am running version 10.6.8
Tried to animate in new maya? If I make a simplest animation like 24 frames long, where is a skeleton with 1 root and 3 more bones...so:
1-st frame - starting pose 24-th frame - starting pose and then somewhere at frame 12 change position of 3 bones and set a keyframe
Starting pose goes mess... I've checked this behaviour under Mac OS and Windows XP. it is the same broken. is it a new feature which I simply don't know how to control?
I downloaded some 3ds models, but I have problem with some of them. Well, I see all objects in the project but when I render, the render box is totally black.
I've attached before and after images. The "after" image was created using Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel, and the using the Magic Wand to select the areas for deletion.
When I place the image on a webpage, it is completely transparent!
I am running Civil 3D 2010. I have hatch a bunch of areas with the gravel pattern hatch. However, they are at different scales. When I try to change the scale I get a totally different hatch pattern. I have attached a screen shot showing my problem. Hatch picture.pdf
Here is a strange problem since this morning. The text wrapping window is totally empty! I don't have any setting options anymore.
Yesterday, everything was OK but not today. I don't understand why and I don't know what to dot. I restarted InDesign and the computer but nothing changed. The other setting windows are OK.
I'm using 1920*1080 jpg images (frame captured from video) (but it seems i can have the same problem when i use bigger photos)
I'm editing them on a mac laptop (MPB), with a 1440*900 screen, in fullscreen mode, but with the editing column on the right side. So while i edit them, my images are about 1000pixels wide or a bit more. (It's fine for me since it's for being viewed on computers)
I apply a light grain but then i can't really see it in Library module or when i export the jpg... It appears that the Grain is actually rendered much more present in Develop Mode than in Library module. (When i zoom on the image to 100% then it's the same, but i don't want to edit my pictures in 100%...) Â See crop of the images here, Develop Module on top, Library module bellow:
[URL] Â This bug is really annoying because all my NR/Grain fine ajusts on my pictures are wrong when i then export my pictures. So for now, the only workarounds are either to take 'screenshots' of my pictures while i'm in Develop Module using cmd-shift-4!! (This is what i'm doing at the moment, but then i would also have like to have them in bigger resolution) or i would have to switch continually to Library module while editing my photos....
I have noticed my levels box is all black, no curve lines visable. I have tried my own CD jpegs as well as the sample art included in 7.0.
What has happened? Is there anyway to correct the problem? The imput levels are the standard 0, 1.00, & 255. But no lines, just total blackness. Any ideas?
A line is drawn parellel to the X-axis. What I have been doing all of my career to lengthen this line, by say 3 inches, is select the line, pick the grip I want to lengthen, drag that grip in the general X direction, type the value 3 at the command promt, and hit enter. Voila, done.
Now what AutoCAD is doing, is bringing the grip (yup, ortho is stll on) to exactly where my curser is, totally disregarding the ortho setting AND the value in typing at the comand prompt.
I instal form SDK User Tools because I need in Inventor Drawing Tools (Revision cloud). I do this install like on website Autodesk show and I didn't get it on ribbon. I do also registry of this plugin but I also didn't get it.Â
There seems to be way too many tools in the tools panel for me. Many of them I will rarely, if ever use. Is there any way I can rearrange or remove some of them? It would unclutter the screen immensely.
I have an interactive board with tools (such as pen or eraser) which I want to integrate with the AI. The typical scenario woulld be as follows: the user lifts the pen from the tray, the pen event will me mapped into selecting Pencil Tool from AI toolbar after which the user can add freehand annotations to the AI document. Â Is there an API which would allow me to map abailable hardware tools with relevant AI tools? Is there an example which would demonstrate such integration?
whenever I make a GIF in Photoshop, it becomes very pixelated and unclear. This is what l do to make a gif:  Step 1: Make GIF Layers Step 2: Open Animation Window Step 3: Select 'Make Animation from Layers' Step 4: Save as GIF  If you can tell me some nice settings, that would be perfect.Â
I'm working on a document and can't get text to appear clearly. It's certainly readable and not a big problem but how can I get text in photoshop to appear more like plain text on a webpage does?
The font is Arial and I'm trying different sizes along with switching from Crisp to Sharp with no luck.
I am creating a spray for a friend who plays counter strike and I want to make the background invisable so when people see it in the game it appears to be directly on the suface.
By pressing Alt+Delete a layer is filled with the foreground color - right? How do I get rid of this fill i.e. clear the layer to transparency? There must be some other way than backing in the history pallet.
One user can not print from Photoshop CC. I have test other users from the same computer and they can print.I use Windows 7 Ultimate and SBS 2011. Â Is there a way to clear all Photoshop CC from a user profile? it must be the first try. Any other user related problem with printing in Photoshop?
