I've recently switched to a new computer but am still using PS 6.0 with all setting the same (I think). Formerly the smudge tool removed color from the working layer revealing the layer below (i.e., the working layer was transparent to the layer below). Now, when I use the smudge tool, black is revealed under any color removed with the smudge tool.

I'm not good with Photoshop. In fact, the clone stamp has always been one of my favorite tools. But, I just bought Elements 12 and I find that my clone stamp is doing something strange. In the circle, when I move it around the photo being edited, there is a black smudge in that circle and I can see images from other parts of the photo in that circle leaving marks on the photo as I move the circle around.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently using photoshop CS6 and am trying to make a nice logo for my website. I used photoshop through high school so I know little basic things about the program. Anyways, I'm creating a logo from a tut on youtube, it says to hit "ctrl i" which makes the background black. After that I select a darkish grey as my foreground color, then I hit the gradient tool and set it to "radial gradient." Now I drag the mouse across the document and let go but nothing happens. I then tried it with a white background and it worked fine, but I want the background to be black. I made sure that it was on normal, the opacity is 100% and everything seems correct to what the tutorial was showing me. He uses a different photoshop than me so I don't know if that's what causes it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a little problem with Smudge tool. you may notice hard edged corners around smudge tool strokes this only appears then you use image sampled brush with scattering for a smudge tool bug also disappear if you set the strength of smudge effect to 100% or if you use default round brush. bug appears only in Adobe Photoshop CS6, in previous version everything was Ok.

i run Ps under Windows 7 version of Photoshop is 13.0.1 x64
I got used to PS CS4 before buying CS6 for my graphism classes and the smudge tool was standing still when using it (Keeping the same shape).
Â
Now on CS6, when I use the smudge tool, the brush is changing at every swipes I do. Is there a way to keep it like in CS4 ?
i updated to cs3 the smudge tool is acting kinda weird... not only on my CS3, in all my friends Cs3 is the same...
Always i smudge something this is what happens...
Finger painting is not selected, strength is at 65% and i´m using a normal round smooth brush (0% hardness)
In CS2 didnt have this problem....
where the smudge tool is (the picture of the hand) i am using photoshop cs 2, but i cant find this darn brush. Its supposed to trail off, i am trying to smudge a dot into a fade away, i am actually trying to make tracer bullets, but i cant find this smudge tool anywhere.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Photoshop CS5 and under, the smudge tool at 100% Strength would drag pixels without smudging/blurring/mixing, creating this cool painting effect. Customizing the smudge tool with a bit of a textured brush shape and some scattering, with 100% smudging Strength would create this amazing painterly effect, but now in Photoshop CS6 the 100% strength does not work. In fact, it works much worse than 99%.
Â
As you can see, at 99% strength, the smudge does less blurring, and more dragging, which is almost as close as Photoshop CS5's 100% smudging strength( it hardly ever blurred or mixed, 100% would only drag in CS5)100% on CS6 does considerably worse dragging, and alot of blurring, and seems to only be a step above 90%, which blurs and mixes more.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if this was an intentional edit to the smudging tool. The smudging tool in the past was completely fine, and now I can't use my smudging tool presets because they do not create the same effects they did when I created them back in CS5.
Whenever I use the smudge tool, PS freezes and I have to close it. This is ONLY when I smudge. When I do anything else the program runs fine.
Then after it freezes a couple times, when I try to reopen it, I get a system error message saying there's a hardware problem and I can't fix the error . . .
but the next day I open PS and it runs fine! Only everything has been reset as if I just installed the program for the first time! Then I'll start working on a picture and as soon as I smudge it freezes.
my computer runs on 1.66Ghz, 1.99 GB of Ram. Is this a problem?
My smudge tool isn't working correctly like it should in Photoshop cs5.

Heres an example. :
I have a problem with my smudge tool. Every time I try to smudge around with a shape, it seems to draw a rectangulair box around the shape, and when you smudge out of those boxes white edges appear around the smudge.

I'm using this brush, as is my want, with the Smudge tool. Unfortunately it seems to have aquired a 'judder' It's hard o explain but it's totally annoying I want it to be smooth. Here's a screen grab so you can see what I mean.
when I'm trying to stroke a path with smudge tool, it works fine until I select simulate pressure in dialog box. it's strange because I saw it working fine. my friend use all the time. the only difference is he uses a macintosh and I use a windows. but as I see it, there is no way that different OS can be a reason for a problem.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am not quite sure what happened, but now my smudge brush (I have CS version) will not smudge, it only colors. I'm not quite sure how to fix it short of reinstalling photoshop again, and I'd rather not do that if I don't have to.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was coloring skin textures on a drawing using a spatter brush with flow at 25%. Then i switched over to the blur tool to smooth it out. it was ok.. but not quite what i was looking for, so i switched to the smudge tool. Using that tool with the "sample all layers" box checked, made it look really nice-- so i drew some freckles on the face and the smudge tool really blended them into the skin without making them look blotchy.
Â
So here's the problem: I clicked on the "finger paint" box to see what other effect it would give but it seemed to pick the foreground colors and smear it across the drawing. I didn't like it so i unchecked the box. it was still smearing across the drawing. so i checked and unchecked again... nothing. I searched the internet and all i could find was if any weird behavior arises and persists, restart Photoshop, and while its booting up, hold Ctrl, Alt & Shift to clean out the Preferences. So i did. Same thing.

How to get this tool to function as it was initially. The smudge tool seems to be 'stuck' on the "finger paint" option or feature no matter if the box is checked or unchecked.
I'm new at this and trying to remove arm hair from this image using the smudge tool (30%, normal), it worked except the arm looks too blured now. How do I bring back some texture ?

I was playing around with my workspace adding some Macros in a custom command bar and saw that you can select The Illustrator Workspace. So I clicked it and noticed a Smudge Brush Tool.
Looked all over for it but couldn't find it anywhere. Here is a screen of what I'm looking for:
Whenever I use the Smudge tool Gimp Crashes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to use the smudge tool in gimp (2.6.2). I click on it and I try to smudge the image. But gimp seems to ignore the tool. So I decided to play with the Opacity, Rate and even the scale. No luck.
So then I thought, ok maybe the changes are to small for me to see. So I decided to zoom all the way in and try the smudge tool. No change at all.
The odd thing is it is a single layer image. I just tried an experiment, I opened the photo I wanted to smudge with clicked on the tool and tried blending the area. Then I closed it, it didn't ask me if i wanted to save the "changes" I just made.
The smudge tool does not have an circular with an line across it saying I cant use it. Here is the image I am trying to fix up .

I always seem to get a white outline around the image when I place it on the black background, even when its on ZERO feathered. I don't like using feathered as it adds a smudge round the outside of the image.

how did they transformed a normal background into a pitch black background? Someone told me they used a photoshop so I browsed around but all I found was a tutorial on how to isolate a section of the photo and turn it into a black and white background which is not what I was after.
I have installed Photoshop CS6 on a new computer i7 with Windows 8. When I open a photo in Photoshop and try to crop it, there is an intermittent black background that comes in front on the whole photo at each click of the mouse and you can't really see what you are doing.

But I want to know how to rid the black in the background and around the fire without erasing the shadows in the fire and making it look like I did so. I want it to look smooth if you know what I mean. Another way of putting what i want differently if you dont understand is I basically want all the black behind the fire and background pic transparent, without making the fire look crappy in the process.
