i don't have a normal cursor, which in my case is an arrow. instead i have what looks like three tiny hands in a row. this makes it very difficult to be accurate when cropping, or tilting. i uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail. i'm using cs4 extended

When painting with the paintbrush the cursor flickers between the round brush size cursor to an arrowhead. The paintbrush continues painting as it should, but the cursor flickers constantly between the 2. This is a visual annoyance but doesn't seem to affect performance.
I'm on Photoshop CS6 (latest updates) on 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 with OS X 10.6.8.
When I'm working in an image, and in other places, the cursor is a horizontal series of symbols rather than the pointer arrow I'm used to in PSE 6, 10 and 11. The left side of the symbols is where the cursor is at.
I don't know what this is about, and don't care. I want the pointer arrow I'm used to. I've looked in Preferences but see nothing that applies. How do I replace these hard to use and irritating horizontal symbols with the pointer arrow?
The cursor on Elements has changed from an arrow to a fine orizontal bar with arrows at each end and is proving virtually unusable. How i can get the original white arrow back?

I recently bought a Bamboo Pen tablet to use with GIMP and have been installing under Windows (XP).
The tablet installs fine, is recognised by GIMP and I can draw with the stylus. Excellent. The only problem is that the cursor/arrow is missing which means that I can draw things but I only know where the stylus is when I start to write/draw.
I am hoping that this is a simple settings issue but how to make the cursor/arrow visible?
How do I change my cursor from hand to arrow, it want let me select anything for editing?

Is there an easy way I can select a color in the background to make adjustments so they all look the same? Doesn't have to be perfect just close.
I'm using CS6 on a MacBook Pro 10.8.
I am a beginner and I think some thing is turned off but the do not know what, because you need this spacial cursor on screen to change values in the channel box but my own is not showing up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm not new to lightroom. In every photo I go in to edit with the tools (any of them/all of them) my cursor only appears as the tool along the edge of my workspace. Once I move the cursor into about a half inch (on the computer screen) into the workspace my cursor becomes an arrow again, not allowing me to edit except for on the edges. I mean, I can drag the portion of the picture into the area in the workspace that allows my cursor to function as a tool, but this is not easy nor is it preferable in any way.

When ever I make a photo adjustment and want to save it as a preset all the check mark boxes aren't there I have to manually check the boxes I want saved. I have the adjustment switch on when I click new preset. It use to have the adjustments I've made already checked. This is for my friend. When I use lightroom and save a preset the check mark boxes are there.
I'm trying to create a photo montage. I have all my photos in cells on the page, but now I am trying to zoom in on and move photos around within each cell (sort of what you do when you upload a photo in Facebook). This was quite easy for me to do in Aperture, but I can't seem to find out how to do it in Lightroom.

I have made some buttons with a rectangular shape using the rectangular marquee tool.
Can you suggest a way of adding a pointed arrow to one of the ends of my rectangle to make an arrow ?
I have tried using the Clone Stamp, this kind of works but it is not that great.
On a previous computer I used Illustrator for, when I would draw or make selections, next to the cursor in a small black box with white text, there would be the dimenstions information. It was similar to what you'd find in the Window>Info panel but simplified and would let you know how big the selection you're making is. I've looked all over the Preferences and can't find it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a bunch of shots taken using natural light - the shots all have completely different exposure and white balance adjustments.
Now that the shots feel like they've been shot at the same time of day (and on the same day) we'd like to start adjusting the white balance accross multiple shots - but use the current white balance/exposure from each individual shot as the starting point - not reset the adjustments.
Kind of like baking the current settings or making adjustments on top of current adjustments - or make new adjustments relative to the current adjustments.
why doesn't the arrow leader disappear when I flip my arrow direction to the inside..

I understand the benefit of shooting camera raw and I like the adjustments you can make without effecting the photo itself. The one thing I can't get used to is the limiting workflow in raw that allows you to undo only one change. Being a long time user of Photoshop I'm spoiled by all the image changes I'm allowed to make in combination with one another and the ability to back out of all or some of them.
I'm I missing something in the raw workflow? I wasn't sure if this should be posted in the Photoshop, Bridge or Raw forum. If any of you know of a forum that discuss's this sort of stuff,
My cursor appears and disappears while in GIMP as I move the cursor over the canvas. I can make the cursor appear but only if there is no movement of the cursor. It makes no difference which tool I select, the size of the canvas, or the level of zoom.
Please note that this only occurs in Gimp, and none of my other applications. It started when I upgraded from openSUSE 12.1 to 12.2. I'm assuming that it has something to do with my input device configuration, but I could be totally wrong.
I have a total of 3 input devices - Core Pointer, Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, and Virtual Core XTEST Pointer. Both the Optical Mouse and XTEST Pointer are DISABLED. Core Pointer is the only one enabled. Enabling Optical Mouse and XTEST Pointer give me other problems in Gimp and need to remain disabled.
For the Core Pointer, Mode is set to SCREEN, a message says that 'The axis X has no curve', and the following Axis Settings:
X 1
Y 2
Pressure none
xtilt none
ytilt none
wheel none
In Gimp Preferences->Input Controllers, there are three active controllers - Mouse Buttons, Main Mouse Wheel, and Main Keyboard.

In Xcode, we have to define cursor as:
resource 'CURS' (16001) {
$"00 00 00 00"
$"18 00 3C 00"
$"1E 00 0F 00"
$"07 80 03 C8"
$"01 E8 00 FC"
[Code]...
In Windows we use .cur file, simpler.
I want to convert .cur file to the mac format above, how?
There are two ways to apply the Brightness/Contrast command in legacy mode,
Choose Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast
or
Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast
upon flattening layers in CS5, any changes made seem to vanish? This occurs when flattening adjustment layers and has even happened after e.g. Image>Adjustments>Curves (when I close the adjustment dialogue the changes aren't applied.) This doesn't happen on every photo ( I can have two open and it will only be seen on one) and I havene't ever had it happen before. It seems particularly likely to happen after applying HDR toning although I'm sure if there is any connection.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to make image adjustments such as contrast in a gradient manner?
For example, if when fixing an old photo, the photo is bright in one corner and dark in the opposite corner, it would be nice to apply a gradient type of adjustment.
Suddenly I am no longer able to make any adjustments to images. When I try altering the curves, or levels, it looks like a change is happening,(shows up in preview)but when we hit OK, the change I made completely disappears and the image looks the same as before I tried to apply the adjustment.

I always use curves with no problem, but, adjustments isn't highlighted.
Photoshop CS.
I have scanned b/w documents.
After opening the file, I change the mode from bitmap to grayscale for making adjustments. I usually need to get more contrast, ie make the paler lines darker and more visible. So, Image->Brightness/Contrast or Levels. I get small window to work with and I have preview option checked. I can see the result on the image, when I make the adjustments. Fine so far.
But then, when I press OK, it will go back to the original situation with no changes made.
I have some questions about adjusting a (digital) photo in photoshop. I have read some books about this but everybody says something different. What things should i use to improve my photo? Should i use Curves, Levels, Color Balance, Selective Color or only one or two of these? Wich of these should i use first and wich are more important and wich not?
Also I would like to know if CMYK or RGB color is better for printing. And if there's some general diagram about how much magenta, yellow and cyan one photo should contain? Or is this just personal taste.
I already know Unsharp Mask is the last thing u should add to an image in most cases. But i'm really curious about color adjustments because i want to make the best image possible.
