Photoshop :: Transform Tool Freezes CS6 / OpenGL Never Works

Jun 3, 2013

What is happening is whenever I use any transform tool in Photoshop it will freeze, the window won't go white like frozen windows normally do in W7 but it'll just sit there being completely unresponsive to clicks. The only way to quit is to go into the task manager. The other notable thing is whenever this happens I can't just restart Photoshop, I have to restart Windows completely! it even screws over other Adobe software, Dreamweaver won't work either once this error has occured.
 
Not only that but OpenGL never works anymore either, I can use Photoshop for like thirty minutes before OpenGL stops working. This one's obviously less intrusive but I still enjoy having the OpenGL features on.
 
The only other symptom I can think of is that once the issues start happening (or just before they're about to happen) the cursor will dart very quickly all over the screen. The actual clicks themselves will still happen in the right location but the visual cursor itself will constantly be moving, like half of the time it'll be in its right spot, the other half it'll be in a random position. I've tried unplugging both the tablet and the keyboard/mouse reciever but it still darts everywhere.
 
Everything else on the computer works fine, it's just Adobe software playing up.
 
I have tried:
- Adjusting performance options thoroughly
- Disabling graphic card features
- Reinstalling CS6
- Switching to 32 bit CS6
- Reverting back to CS5/CS3 (it still happens on those ones too)
- Trying four different versions of video drivers (320.18, 314.22, 310.70, 306.23)
- Reinstalling Windows 7
 
Specs:
- Gigabyte GV-N56GOC-1GI Overclocked GTX 560 1GB
- Gigabyte H61M-S2P-B3 LGA1155
- Kingston 8gb 1333mhz ddr3
- Intel sandy bridge Quad-Core i52500K 3.3GHz
- Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate SP1

Photoshop :: OpenGL Seemingly Deactivates After Use Of Quick Selection Tool

Apr 27, 2013

Before using the quick selection tool, I am able to smoothly zoom in and out by holding Ctrl+Space and dragging with the mouse.If I use the quick selection tool, however, the marching ants line turns into a strange box. I no longer am able to zoom smoothly but instead with the technique above I draw a rectangle which I zoom into. This indicates to me, that OpenGL has been deactivated. I want my smooth zoom back!
 
I noticed that the preferences always show OpenGL as active, no matter which of the above "state" I'm in. I tried updating my AMD graphics card's driver without success. I found a post describing similar OpenGL problems on the same graphics card and installed the linked driver; the post was 2 years old, but it worked. Re-installing more recent version (Catalyst-Version 12.6) brought the problem back. Newer versions of the driver seem all to suffer from the same problem.
 
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit,64-bit Photoshop Extended from CS5 Production Premium,AMD Radeon HD 4600 (currrently Catalyst-Version 13.1). 
I tried: "Downgrading" the driver (only really old version worked, as mentioned above),reseting Photoshops preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift at start),deactivating OpenGL (reactivating only works after restart and problem reappears) but I miss the smooth zoom.

Photoshop :: CC Move Tool No Longer Works

Oct 29, 2013

All of a sudden the Move Tool no longer works. When I try to move an layer on the screen with the Move Tool it moves slightly then jumps back to its original position. The only way I can move a layer at the moment is to use Free Transform, which is not ideal.

Photoshop :: CS5 Extended - Crop Tool Only Works In Automatic Way

Aug 13, 2011

On my previous version of PS, I had full control over the Crop tool. I could control the width and length of the cropping area I chose.

I now have a new version, CS5 Extended, but the Crop tool only works in an "automatic" way. The tool itself selects the box shape, which is never the shape I want. How I can rectify this?

Photoshop :: CS5 - Transform Tool - Get Error?

Oct 4, 2012

In CS5 if I choose the either the Transform or Free Transform tools (having created a new layer for the image) I get an error message saying ‘could not transform because the initial bounding rectangle is empty’.

I’ve used the Transform tool successfully in the past and have checked through the Adobe instructions carefully (there isn’t much to them really) and I cannot see what’s wrong.

Photoshop Elements :: Mac - Text Tool Freezes

I am working in Photoshop Elements 11 on a Mac.  Every time I use the text tool, the program freezes and I have to force quit.  I read this might have something to do with a font problem.  I have deleted fonts that came on the Mac and also downloaded other fonts.

Illustrator :: CS5 Move Tool Works Backwards?

Oct 27, 2010

I use the Selection/Move tool a lot in Illustrator, but this never happened in CS3 or CS4: If I select a mark or a shape to move a specific amount, click on the Selection arrow to specify the distance, using a minus sign if I want the object to move down-screen, when I click on OK, the object moves up-screen. Is this the new, improved, Illustrator? I mean, all right, I can get used to changes in conventions, but isn't this sort of an unlikely change? Aren't there other improvements to be made in the app? Is it me, or is it Illustrator?

Photoshop :: CS6 Crashes When Using Free Transform Tool?

Sep 26, 2013

Recently Photoshop CS6 crashes when I attempt to use the Free Transform Tool through the shortcut (Ctrl+T).
 
It also crashes very often when using any of the free transform/transform tools via the menu as well, though not as often as the previous listed situation.

Photoshop :: CS6 Freezes Using (Select) / (Color Range) Tool?

Jul 2, 2013

I was trying to make a color range selection to use as an adjustment mask. Each time I make the selection the dialog box freezes, I can not exit the dialog, or cancel the save options are available but even after saving can not exit dialog box. Also the menu "Select" "Save Selection" option does not work.
 
I end up having to close the program using Windows Task Manager. I am running Windows 7, CS6 13.01 I have tried this in both the 64 and 32 bit versions of CS6.  Oddly if while in the Color Range selection Dialog intermittently if you only make one sample with the dropper tool you can exit the dialog with the selection in tact, but not always.

Photoshop :: Quick Selection Tool Freezes CS6 / Becomes Unresponsive For Minutes

Feb 24, 2013

After only two selections the tool becomes unresponsive for minutes.
 
I'm on a 2.6 Ghz retina MacBook Pro, 16 Gb RAM, and this in connection with an SSD should make this tool very good to use. Operating system: OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", latest update.
 
Unfortunately, it seems to develop some kind of overload, during which you cannot use Photoshop at all. No commands like "undo selection", "quit", "close file" are accepted. 
 
Hint: it seems to happen when you option select (subtract from an existing selection).
 
Hint: the freeze can be shortened by a tool switch (has to be through clicking on a tool, keyboard commands are frozen as well)
 
Hint: the "subtract selection" move that caused the freeze appears after Photoshop comes back to life after a couple of minutes. The subtraction to the selection seems to be random, makes no sense, and is not the regular function of the tool.
 
First step after this freeze would be to undo the last selection, and continue working.If you do several "add to selection" moves, they add up in a kind of waiting line. If you do the subtract from selection move, this doesn't work, and the freeze happens.
 
So far, I have not noticed the freeze when adding to a selection. Adding to a selection was always quick and instant. The bug must sit in the "subtract from selection" code.On most freezes, the ants continue walking, I just had one (again with subtracting selection) where even the ants stopped walking.
 
I don't think it has anything to do with Photoshop working. I have used the quick selection tool regularly under CS5 on my old machine (which was a museum piece), and while I had to wait sometimes, it was never ground to a freeze/halt like the quick selection tool under CS6.

Photoshop :: CS5 - Type Tool Entering Text In Tiny Transform Box

May 20, 2012

At some point, several months ago, my sister and I were playing with transform (by phone, we are in different states) -- she had taken a Photoshop class and wanted to try to duplicate something.
 
I tried using my type tool yesterday, and couldn't see anything when I typed. (White background, black text, Arial, 14 pt, 100%). I've tried clearing type presets. I finally tried blowing it up to 500% and saw a small, gray font-like image where I was typing.

I held down Ctrl and played with the transform box: if I expanded the box, my text is there. I've tried clicking on everything at the top when in transform. How to get my type tool entering text in the regular way.

Photoshop :: How To Save Pivot Point With Free Transform Tool

Apr 26, 2012

I'm animating a picture, have the limbs on different layers, so I can just simply use the free transform tool to rotate them into the good position.

Although it's a pain to always reset the pivot point from the center. Is there a way to make Photoshop remember where I want the pivot point to be?

Photoshop :: CS6 English - Arabic Enabled Freezes When Selecting Text Tool

Aug 30, 2012

I have Adobe Photoshop CS6 (part of Master Collection English-Arabic Enabled) installed on MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Mountain LionI went to Preferences -> Type -> chose Middle East , to enable arabic typing but whenever I choose the Text tool, photoshop freezes, and cpu use reaches 130% ( on Activity Monitor it showed that photoshop using 60% of cpu while "fontd" is up to 70%)I don't know why font daemon is consuming that much of cpu, probably facing problems with building fonts models, I left it for half an hour, but no use.
 
the corresponding windows version, did not freeze, instead just went alittle quirky heavy for half a minute then back to normal and i was able to use text tool and type in arabic normally

Photoshop :: Pen Tool - Filled Path / Layer And Transform But Does Not Give Enough Adjustment?

Mar 23, 2012

The Pen Tool is my favorite / go to selection tool. But can it do the following...I've made a path and converted it to a selection, then filled the area with a color or texture (on it's own layer).

Now I find that I need to adjust (fine tune) the shape I've created / filled with color or texture to better fit how / where it's being used. Is is possible to invoke the path handles and get it to adjust the filled area as you move / adjust the path. (This is not a shape, not using the shape tool.)

I can select the filled path / layer and free transform but that does not give me a fine enough adjustment.Puppet Warp doesn't really fit the bill eitherA good example of what I want to achieve is similar to when you put type on a path. When you adjust the path the type moves to conform to the changes in the path. I want to do the same thing with the area I filled using the path.

Photoshop :: CS2 Freezes And Eraser Tool Set For Circular Brush Shows Cross-hairs?

Aug 10, 2013

Suddenly my CS2 has started to act up. First, after opening a file and start to do a background erasing, the brush shows up as crosshairs.

after a brief time of working with those limitations, when I click on the downdown menus, they get highlighted, but nothing drops down. If I try to close the file or the program, all I get is a warning "ding".

AutoCAD 2010 :: Multileader Align Tool Works Only When Labels Are Left Justified

Apr 27, 2011

I'm using the Multileader Align tool for my labels and it works great as long as my labels are left justified.  I noticed this issue has been brought up before but didn't know a way to make it work for right justified text. 

My problem is this: right justified text will not justify properly.  It will not justify the same way that left justified text does.  If you can follow this, leaders that have text that are left-justified will align according to their leader lines and everything looks neat and correct.  The leaders that are right justified do not align properly because they align to the left side of the text.  See the following screen shots and you'll understand...

Incorrectly justified leaders.

Photoshop :: (CS5.1) Free Transform And Warp Tool Causing Pixelation And Quality Drop

Dec 3, 2012

When I free transform and warp a layer to lie flat, sometimes I'll get this harsh pixellation at one end of the layer. It doesn't appear while I'm doing the warp, just suddenly coming up when I hit enter to apply the transformation.
 
So for example, Ill be transforming this grid, which is originally about 9x this big.So when I''m running the transformation/warp, it looks like this Not great, but at least most of the lines are still intact on the left and back (the right side is basically fine looking) But once I hit enter, I get this And now like, half the lines I did have are gone, and what's left is super pixelated.
 
Is there an interpolation setting I could be using? Is it something unavoidable from how distorted I make the layer?

Photoshop :: Vector Shapes Free Transform Tool Determines Shape Size

Jul 12, 2013

I'm experiencing strange behaviour of the Free Transform Tool.

Free Transform determines the size of the shape including the points handles. Tested the same in Photoshop CS6 but it works normal there. Check the screenshot please:

When you try to allign the shape to other one, this is how Smart Guides works:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Photoshop CC
2. Draw a random shape with Pen Tool.
3. Get the Move tool and hit Free Transform (Ctrl+T).
4. Enjoy!
