I just have a question for the more experienced users - Since I'm fairly new to Photoshop and graphic design in general, I haven't yet purchased a drawing tablet for my PC. My question is: Is it really worth it to use a tablet over a mouse? If so, which is the recommended brand/model?

I need to create a slightly cloudy background for a trade show graphic. On a small scale, the Filter > Render > Clouds trick works fine. But when I do this on a huge scale... it's not so cute (see attached). Is there a way to create "clouds" on a large scale?

I know it cannot be totally removed, but is there a way its effect can be reduced almost unnoticeably. I tried -Adjustments: brightness/contrast- but reducing either just created a grey blot with a distinct "border".
Â
Is there another PAINT.NET trick of the trade similar to "redeye removal" that can disguise these glares please, because I am sure this comes up quite often?Â
I attach a jpg file of a crop of the problem.
I have recently purchased a new Mac and have come to find out that my Photoshop that i had on my PC no longer works. I tried to do a cross-platform upgrade, but because i purchased it on ebay they will not allow me too. I am wondering if anyone out there is in my situation but vice versa and would like to trade. I will show pictures of the box and anything you need for proof.

I used Invenbtor 2013 with servce pack.
How or where I can get the Detail tools that was in the 2013 Tool Palette?

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.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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?
How to get the 'Shape to Block' command to work (under express tools).
It says select object, but no matter what object I select eg. circle, pline or line, it says invalid selection. I am running AutoCAD 2012. Are 'shape' objects somehow different from any other objects?
I am able to use the menuload command to load the express menu, but when I try to execute one of the express tools. AutoCAD say invalid command, there was something on the website that said to type express tools at the command prompt, but when I do that, too it says invalid command.

"bad argument type: listp #<SUBR @2f9669b0 BONUS_ERROR>"
There are also a few other express tools that when picked from the ribbon menu, do not work either. Now, I have seen elsewhere on the web that in this case, you should make sure there are no search paths set to R14 Bonus tools (which mine aren't), or repair and update express tools from add/remove programs in the control panel. I did this, and the only thing that happened was the numbers after SUBR@ changed.
My application works with function it acet-ss-drag-moves of Express Tools. Â Can I distribute AutoCAD Express Tools with the program of Installation of my application? Â
This to guarantee that Express Tools will be with the user's AutoCAD. Â If this is possible what document should I use?
I had express tools loaded, but now I have a problem. I try downloading Auto CAD True View, but did not get it to work, since then I have been getting unknown Command "txt2mtxt" now none of my commands work. I try auto cad repair from the install program and it still does not work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Photoshop CS3 and I am unable to use the tools (brushes, lasso tool, gradient, etc...). I have tried restarting and the usual but whenever I select a tool CS3 seems to not do anything in response - the cursor remains as the white hand. Everything else seems to be working apart from the tool palette.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing a problem with the 3D tools on CS6 Extended. I have checked and my vRAM is 512mb which seemed to be the biggest source of this problem for other people, but my 3D tools are still greyed out. I have converted the working file from CYMK to RGB and the 3D tools have become available.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding the cropping tool in PS CS5. When I attempt to crop an image by manually entering the dimensions in the top of PS it takes an insane amount of time.
I have yet to actually have an image complete the process because after waiting about 30 minutes to only have the image be at 30% progress I cancel the operation. It is only when I enter the dimensions manually that it does this. When I just do a random crop the task is done in a matter of seconds.
I just had my HD drive replaced on my Mac Book Pro ( Using Mt Lion OS) which forced me to reinstall all my programs. I reloaded CS4 without problem getting a message that installation was successful.
However I am having problems with the tool bars. When I click on the one of the default tool in the box it works fine, however if I try to open that tool for more options by clicking on the little black triangle nothings happens either in Photoshop or Illustrator(the two programs I use most) the box won't open up.
CS6 - After using one of the tools (select, crop, healing) 1st time, I further use or ability to change (from Patch to Red Eye Removal) can't be done. I have to close CS6 and reopen. I can save, and use filters, but not of the "left side" tools.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using PS CS6 extended, and when using the 3D layout I have been unable to find the neat new manipulators that make moving your object, lights, and camera so easy. They were there, and suddenly disappeared as if I'd tripped a switch that turned them off. I have searced all the menus and preference settings to be sure everything is "visible". I can still maneuver things maually by typing numeric values into the "coordinates" boxes, but that is pretty cumbersome.
Â
The only clue I have, and I may be off-base, is from reading about a similar problem in this forum where the response indicated that Open CL must be on. I thought, "ah ha", it seems like this problem may have started about the time I updated my video driver.
Â
Upon checking this in PS, I find the option to turn on Open CL is "greyed out". Seeing that, I updated my driver again (for AMD Radeon HD 7000) to the latest one, which specified that it includes an Open CL driver. But that made no difference.
Â
Though I still suspect this may be a driver issue, I'm not sure how to fix it. I could revert back to my original driver if I knew which version it was. But then, it might not be a driver issue at all.
