Photoshop :: Extreme Lag On Mixer And Smudge Tools With (all Layers) Checked

Aug 28, 2013

Running Photoshop CC 64, Win7 x64 on an i7-3820 based machine with 32GB of ram, 256GB SSD, several 2TB drives and a GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB 16X video card.Running the latest non-beta WHQL drivers for the video card,
 
i have photoshop set to: use graphics acceleration, drawing mode advanced, opencl. When I'm using the mixer brush and with the brush set to sample all layers, depending on brush size, I experience a large lag in rendering. When doing this, my CPU usage is around 10% and disk usage is also low so I'm assuming the graphics card is the bottleneck here.
 
Images are from a 21MP canon 5dMK II, 8 bit files. I can replicate the problem with a single background layer and mixing/smudging on a 2nd transparent layer set to use all layers.

Photoshop :: Smudge Brush Only Colors, Does Not Smudge

Feb 25, 2009

I 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.

Photoshop :: Blur Random Curves From One Side To Have Same Blur Distance And Effect On Whole Curve

Feb 24, 2013

I have some random curves (already created) and I want to blur them just from one side to have the same blur distance and effect one the whole curve.

To more precisely describe what I need, I need to create gradient with direction of normal for every "point". The best example I have found so far are borders in Civilization IV game. Here are two examples:

apolyton.net/civ4/files/info-images/agade.png

As you can see, there is a solid curve, which gradually blends (i.e. alpha channel is lowered) till the gradient disappears. I have the solid curve and the question is, what would be the simplest way how to do this (the number of curves is around 100) gradient.

Photoshop :: Was The Smudge Tool Changed?

Jun 12, 2012

In 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%.
 
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.

Photoshop :: Freezing/ Smudge Tool

Sep 3, 2008

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?

Photoshop :: Smudge Tool - Black Background

Feb 25, 2005

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.

Photoshop :: Smudge Tool Judder Problem

Jun 7, 2004

I'm trying to paint some white hair on a picture I'm doing at the moment. I've created a custom brush that is just hard random pixels on a 10x10 block. There are no dynamics switched on in the brush engine and spacing is set at 1%.

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.

Photoshop :: Stroke Subpath With Smudge Tool

Apr 22, 2008

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.

Photoshop :: Smudge Tool Stuck On (finger Painting)?

Mar 13, 2012

I 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.
 
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.

Photoshop :: Correct Lint/smudge Defect In An Image

Dec 18, 2004

took thousands of photos. Unfortunately a piece of lint got caught on the inner lens of my camera and caused a smudge/lint line to appear about 1/4 of the photos I took. Its relatively easy to pshop out the smudge mark when the defect area is a solid, or nearly uniform area such as sky (clone or bandaid tool, etc). But when it gets into something more complex, such as buildings or otherwise, its going to need a little more manipulation. I am curious to see how members of this community would fix this. I've attached a rather tame image so as to demonstrate the problem. You can see the obvious anomaly in the upper 1/3 of the right margin.

Photoshop Elements :: Clone Stamp Black Smudge

Feb 6, 2014

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.

Photoshop :: CS6 Content Aware Fill And Spot Healing Smudge?

Dec 2, 2012

I just upgraded to CS6 64 bit under Windows 7.  I used content aware fill and the spot healing tool on CS5 under XP with no problems.  Now under CS6 they leave a smudge.  For example, if the is a spot on a vein of a leaf, now, instead of removing the spot and filling in the line of the vein I just get a smudge the size of the spot healing brush.
 
Content aware fill now leaves a smudged and obviously poor result.
