I cannot get my pen tool to make an active selection. It completes the path, but then when I try to inverse selection, it says no pixels were selected. I am new to this and very frustrated. It will let me select all, but the path area remains inactive.
View 4 RepliesI only had Adobe Photoshop for about 2 months now. I have been using the Low Key tool in guided alot. Here recently I went to edit a photo and my reduce effect button tool will not work. I tried everything from restarting my computer and the program. I love using this tool but I can not get the reduce effect to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing two problems. One is the tool icons in Photoshop are disappearing on the screen. I move the cursor and see nothing on my screen.
The second problem is at other times the proper tool icon and function is not showing up and working. I select for example the pen tool and the hand tool icon show up and the function works as the hand tool not the pen tool?

View 9 Replies View RelatedSo a few weeks ago I was fiddling in my Font folder and removed some text files that I didn't need. So after that, I tried to use the text tool in my Photoshop CS4, and everytime I get an error that says"Could not complete your request because of a program error."
So my Text Tool in Photoshop is just not functioning at all now, and I know it has something to do with some of the fonts I removed, but I don't remember which ones I deleted
I have just purchased Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium. In Photoshop, the hand tool is not working. The hand icon shows but does not pan the open image.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is driving me crazy, Rotate Canvas tool seems to be buggy as S*&T. I have read this can be Open GL Issue. My graphics cards are supported " ATI Radeon HD 5770 " this is an adobe issue as it comes and goes, the same files will allow and then 5 min later refuse to rotate saying that I need to have open GL.
I have set the prefernces on normal basic and advanced and there seems to be no consistency it works and then it doesn't
I am really getting tired of trying to figure out why... using CS6 from the creative suite...
why can't I go past 500% with the navigation tool. I get a screen effect.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Patch tool no longer works properly in Windows Photoshop CS3. When I use the default settings (New Selection (Square Icon on extreme left), Source selected, Transparent NOT selected, no pattern selected) and I select the source then 'drag' the spot over to the destination until it looks the way I want it to, then let go, it replaces what I just saw with a blurry version of the two items 'added' together, as if the Transparent button were selected. Not what it's supposed to do.
I have reset the patch tool, then reset all tools and also reset the Photoshop preferences multiple times with the same result, the Patch tool still not working as its supposed to. I've tried this on multiple files of various formats (JPG, NEF, DNG) with the same results.
I'm having the same problem as the discussion below but resetting the Photoshop preferences files and tools did not help me as it did this user.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have photoshop 5.5 and all of suddent the Type Tool stopped working. The font size is so small (I can only see a DOT where the insertion key is) regardless the font size. I even put font size to 200 points. It still gives me a little dot in the input box where I can type the text.
My photoshop was working for a while. Now it started acting weird.
Do I need to reinstall Photoshop or I need a new computer?
I am running PII 400 with 128 Ram. Windows XP Pro.
i'm making some signatures for the reptile sites i use out of photos taken.
I have one photo of a lizard that is on a white flooring, so i was trying to replace the white with a brown colour using the colour replacement tool. It went horribly... I kept playing with the options but the white just got replaced by pale, obvious colours no matter which colours i picked so i gave up.
Now i was getting into another pic and want to erase the background and after selecting the eraser tool, it just started colouring it in with the fore-colour instead of erasing. I've tried changing the colour replacement options and got it so that it just does nothing when i try to erase.
My colour replacement settings are:
mode - hue
sampling - continuous
limits - contiguous
tolerence - 30%
anti-alias ticked
My eraser settings are:
brush
opacity - 100%
flow - 100%
erase to history ticked.
how i can reset my photoshop back to default settings ...
When I try to patch a wrinkle underneath an eye, the tool only blurs the selection a little - see this image:
I have tried resetting all tools, but the result stays the same. Is there some option that changes the behaviour of this tool? I'm using CS2.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy OS is Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit & Radeon graphics card. I have been having trouble with my space bar. This is what I've been doing...
New Layer > Ellipse tool > Draw a cirlce > Duplicate Layer > (reselect) Ellipse tool > select the Subtract Front Shape < this is where I need to use the space bar so that I can center the new circle (inside) so that I have a nice border that's evenly spaced around the entire circumference.
However, when I go to hold down the space bar so that I can use my mouse pad to move the circle around it will not move and the hand icon does not appear. The box that contains the H/height & W/width gains the X & Y information. However, intermittently the hand icon will appear but even when it is present I still cannot move anything. When the hand icon does intermittently appear I have not changed anything.
I have checked to make certain that my mouse pad doesn't have any sort of setting(s) that would prevent the mouse pad action when a key is being pressed ~ at least to the best of my rather newbie experience.
I have read that some have had problems with CS5 regarding this same matter but their issue was resolved simply by closing whatever browser they had open concurrently (with Ps). I tried this but it did not resolve my problem.
I had used the Beta of CS6 and it worked just fine which I find rather odd. I reset the preferences by hitting Shift+Alt+Ctrl and that also did not work. Also, if you don't know how I could go about resolving this issue do you know of an other way in which I would be able to move the circle when the Subtract Front Shape is in use? I have tried making the new circle and then just using the Move tool at the top of the tools bar.
I use the wind tool a lot and here recently it's been blowing into my layer instead of away from it. No matter what kind of layer I present it always blows into it.
