Photoshop :: Sliders Getting Stuck To Mouse After Release (Mac OS)
Jan 3, 2012
When dragging various sliders in Photoshop CS5, very often these sliders get "stuck" and move with the mouse even though you have released the mouse. Say you are dragging a slider to set the brush opacity to 50%. When you have set it to 50%, you release the mouse and move it away from the slider, only to find that the opacity still increases or decreases as you move your mouse. You have to click again to fix this, but then of course you have to go back and do it again.
Below is a small illustration (I can't take a screenshot of my mouse) of an example of when this happens:
This happens to me around once every 5 times I use a slider, i.e. extremely often. As you can imagine, it's very annoying and frustrating.I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, and I never use Photoshop without it so I cannot confirm whether this bug happens with a mouse or just the tablet.It doesn't just happen like on the above illustration, but also with any slider such as those in Adjustment Layers and Filters.The bug does not happen when using tools on the canvas. So the Brush tool, and every other tool, works fine and never gets "stuck".I have the latest version of Photoshop CS5.This is a bug that has always been in CS5 since the first version, and it has not been in previous versions of Photoshop.
Late 2008 15" MacBook Pro
OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (but the problem has existed way before 10.6.7)
Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.2
I have a PSE 12 file stuck in the "edit mode". I ran completed a repair and an optimize on the catalog and the file is still stuck in the edit mode--I can't even delete the file from the catalog as the "delete" option is grayed out.
After I move an image or line of type to where I want it on a Photoshop CS5.1 layer, it moves an extra pixel. It is incredibly annoying and want it to stop before I start screaming. I've turned off all "Snap" and "Snap To" menu items.
In CS3 after clicking onto the slider "triangle" I can then adjust it with the mouse wheel. I don't appear to be able to do this in CS6. Can this be remedied?
I used to be able to control the sliders on my earlier Adobe Elements with my middle wheel on my mouse but on installing 12 version this does not seem to work any more, which is a great pity as it was so precise.
I can't draw with it like this. It's basically what the title says, when I draw a blue line shows up until I release the mouse button and then my stroke appears.
I upgraded to LR4 from LR3. After opening LR4 I realized that the Develop/Basic menu sliders are identical to LR3, i.e., Exposure, Recovery, Fill Light, Blacks, Contrast, Clarity, Vibrance and Saturation.
I run Photoshop CS4 on a Windows PC with 4GB. Even though I frequently "purge", Photoshop does not seem to be releasing RAM even when all files have been closed, often holding on to some 2GB RAM. Only when I terminate Photoshop, the RAM it grabbed is released. This means I would have to exit and relaunch Photoshop many times a day.
When I close a large document Photoshop does not release the memory. If I open another document the program is slow and not resposive. If I close out of Photoshop and restart it then load the other document it is quick and responsive again.
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 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]
I installed Photoshop CS6 beta on my Mac, OS 10.6.8. Once I purchased and went to install CS6, the installer informed me to uninstall the beta version of Photoshop, but didn't say how, or that there was a catch. I went and uninstalled Photoshop CS6 beta by dragging it to the trash. OOPS! - now the release version won't install, and I can't find anything on the Adobe website other than private messages from Adobe employees to specific users with the same problem as to how to rectify the issue.
Aside from venting my frustration at a situation I (and others have found ourselves in that could have been prevented by a little better planning and installer design.
If I load a dll file into the autocad (using NETLOUD), and after a while I want to make some changes in the dll, then re-build it. In order to do so, I must close the autocad, otherwise I'll get an error ("Unable to copy file,,, because it is being used by another process..."). There is anyway to release the dll so I can change it without closing the autocad everytime?
When I plot or run print of a drawing the view port frame is in the display and prints out with the drawing. How do I release this frame from display so it will not print?
I drew some simple paths in Photoshop with the pen tool, then exported the paths to Illustrator. All the paths came into illustrator as compound paths, though they look like simple paths in illustrator. Because they are compound paths, I can't join the ends of the paths to the ends of other paths.
Whe I select one of these paths:
Object>Compound Path>Release is greyed out and unavailable. "Release Compound Shape" in the Pathfinde palette menu is also greyed out and unavailable.
Is there any way to make these paths back into simple paths without redrawing them? I'm using CS6 versions of both Photoshop and Illustrator.
I am learning Photoshop from an excellent book by Scott Kelby. He has a section which clearly explains the use of Chromatic sliders. All I have is a check box. How do I get to these sliders? I have CS5.
why there are scrubby sliders as well as the regular controls in Photoshop and other Adobe products. Obviously I must be missing something; but to my eye, this appears to be feature redundancy.
The memory the program is using balloons over time because it does not release memory after you close files. In the course of a day, the memory the program uses gets into the 8-10 GB range (we have very large files such as vehicle wraps and large full color signage). The program will start and occupy under 100mb of memory and then when you open a file it will allocate the memory for that file (say 1 GB). Then when you close that file, the memory isn't released or even re-addressed (it just seems to be in limbo at that point). So after 2 dozen or so files the memory the app is taking up gets into the multi-gigabyte range....even without a single file open (the app is running with no open documents).
Now the system I am running has 12GB of ram, so I am not running out of memory yet, but it is still quite alarming to look and see only 2 GB of ram free on a 12GB system with no open files...
I cannot imagine why the programmers wouldn't have the app release the memory it's using. That seems like really sloppy coding to me. (programming 101: when your app is done with memory, release it.).
The system configuration is as follows:
Core i7 980X 3.33Ghz (6 physical cores with hyperthreading), 12 GB RAM, 4-way RAID-0 SSD HDD array, Windows 7 64-bit, Corel Suite x6 (updated to 6.3).
I learned Autocad on release 12 and then migrated to r14 and 2001. Nowadays most drafting is done with r14. However I want to be able to insert a .jpg into the drawing
environment and draw lines over it. Specifically, I want to take pictures of Christopher Dressers designs and bring them into Autocad and then trace over them. I feel I will get a huge education into architectural ornament as well as becoming more facile with lines.
I haven't kept up with Autocad's upgrades but undoubtedly the later releases have this functionality. Which one will work?
we have DWG files with multi leader lines, we would like to save these files to an earlier release so that others could access, what would be the earliest date recommended.
I went to the Character panel and from there, I opened the list of installed fonts on my system. As I browsed the list, I spotted two fonts that I wanted to delete. When I tried to delete them, Windows 7 displayed a “Can’t delete — fonts in use” message. I closed Illustrator, and tried again to delete the two fonts. Again, I got the same message. I’m going to have to reboot to delete those fonts plus some others I’ve since identified. Doing that is a pain in the xxx because I’ve always got a bunch of stuff open.
Illustrator needs to release all fonts except those in use in the current document. I should be able to delete any other fonts at any time. If Illustrator or any other Adobe program is displaying a list of fonts at the time I delete a font, it should dynamically update the list.
I'm using a basic custom brush which reacts to pressure, and whenever I make a brush stroke with my stylus, the line doesn't appear until I lift my pen off the tablet. It's a seemingly random occurence, although it occurs in both my work (CS6 / Win7 / Intuos3) and home (CS6 / Win8 / Intuos4) setups.
I'm completed my plugin and want to make release packget.My plugin have two parts:
1. UI write FlashUI abcUI.zxp 2. Control write by Illustrator plugin abc.aip
The same StrokeFilter and StrokeFilterUI project.Now I want to combine they. And make setup program to release (no need to use Adobe extension and add plugin in Illustrator manual)
Platform: PC/Windows XP SP2Adobe: Illustrator CS3 (13.0.2)
Is it possible to release all compound paths in an illustration at the same time (and if so - how)?
I receive drawings from engineering in either PDF or CGM format, which I edit in Illustrator and save as AI. I have to release compound paths in order to delete specific parts of the drawing.
This isn't difficult, but it is very time-consuming because the CGM(or PDF)-to-Illustrator conversion results in quite a few compound paths.
I edit color in LAB mode. In CS3 I would use the eyedropper tool to select a neutral point and then a levels layer to adjust the color while I was watching the LAB sliders in the color panel. Quick and easy.
Now the problem. In CS4 the color panel changes to greyscale when the levels layer is highlighted. How do I make the LAB sliders sticky? If I edit the color with simply a levels adjustment (not layer) it still works the old way I am used to. I toggled the dynamic slider preference to no avail and I can't find anything else I can change.
I have been revising some older blocks dating back to 2003 and earlier. What was a file size of 28KB increased to 127KB! In most cases the only change was converting text to an attribute. As a test I took a 2004 file and saved it - with no changes - to another name and the file size increased from 28KB to 124KB!!! That's an increase of over 4.4 times! Many of my 1998 - 2006 files are in the 26KB - 40KB range.
That's a bit much of an increase over several ACAD versions! Is there a way to reduce the file size? I did perform a complete Purge before saving. Have I missed some clever trick?
I have made a VB.Net Add-In for Inventor 2011, in a few functions it opens one or more files or sets a reference to already opened files. The release of the resource to this documents seems to be the problem.
In PDM (Productstream Pro) we want to change document states and there for the documents have to be closed in Inventor. When using some Add-In functions prior to the state change in PDM, we get a message from PDM that Inventor still has the files open but inventor does not show any open files (of course we can not see files that were opened in the background).
Only manual operation to solve this is to close inventor or open the drawing and the part used on the drawing and close them top down (drawing first, then part).
I'm stuck with open files that don't seem to be open.I think this is because the add-in sets a reference to the part used on the drawing and then changes something in the drawing.How do I release the resources correctly?
I'm working with another artists's file, and I can't seem to release the clipping mask he created. When I try, I get an error message that says, "Can't ungroup the objects." I've tried releasing Compound Paths, but I get the same message.
iMac, OS 10.8.5 Photoshop CS 6. I have activated the Graphics Display Unit (or whatever it is called) and, with an image in Photoshop and its Layer selected, I do Filters > Render > Lighting Effects. I get the panel on the right called Properties and under it some sliders for Color, Hotspot, etc.
Burt moving the sliders makes no change to the image. Tutorials say that I should get a white elliptical shape with white blobs which should allow me to alter the lighting effects, ("Lighting Controls"?) but nothing appears. The tutorials show a "Menu Bar" should appear just under the three coloured blobs at the top left of the main window. That "Menu Bar" shows, from left to right, something like: a light bulb; Presets-Custom; Lights and three tiny blobs; some thing else; and at the right end, a check; Preview; Cancel; and OK in blue.
I think that "Menu Bar" with Preview checked must appear before I can use the lighting controls on the image.How the heck do I get to see a preview so that I can see and use the lighting controls?
