when i use brushes I get a jitter when moving the brush as shown in the picture. if i trace the line several times it gradually fills in but with curved lines this is hard. is there any way to stop it doing this? i am using cs2.
When I use the spot healing brush, streaks or lines occur? How do I stop this. It usually happens when my picture has a strong contrast in colors between the background and the person's clothing or face..
I recently acquired CS4, and while testing out Photoshop CS4, I immediately noticed that objects "jittered" when I move them. The jittering is more prominent when the objects are moved faster, and then "pop" back to regular when they are still.
I tried to get a screen capture, but it captures it looking normal, so I did an approx edit of what I'm seeing.
I never experienced this issue with CS3. So I did take the time to look through the FAQ and general support, although I could find no solution to this problem. It did prompt that my display was corrupt, but I simply ignored the color profile. Assigning another color profile did not solve anything either. I also have OpenGL Drawing turned off, so that is not the issue.
*edit I also have the most recent video drivers and windows updates.
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit - SP1 AMD X2 3000+ @ 3.0 Ghz 8.0 Gigs of ram 2x Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS (512 MB)
you can see what i mean in the following picture examples.

Zooming in to the line (600%) you can see i can draw a marquee through half of it ...

No matter what 1 single pixel brush i use this will happen... no matter which computer i use cs6 on and different copies of the installation. Anyway have any insight into this? frankly... it's somewhat limiting that i can't use the brush for stroking a shape if i need a pixel line and yet soft curves that a pencil won't get you.
I'm a web developer but have little knowledge of Photoshop. I got a web design job to create something very similar to URL.... Firstly i want to know how to make a brush mild like the white brush on that website. It doesn't overshadow the blue background.
There are a few things I just don't get about brush settings. Sometimes it seems my brushes go all wonky.
When I change the settings for 1 brush... say I add some jitter to a smooth brush - then suddenly the other brushes get the same jitter applied to them.
How can I set the brushes so that each brush has a different setting that doesn't change when I change any other brush settings?
p.s. I also don't get why Adobe has you lock a brush by UNlocking it? Seems to me it should be the other way around?
I have contacted Adobe about issues with Photoshop brushes recently. My issue is that the brush size is smaller than the circle that represents the brush. In other words, when I hoover over the area that I want to paint or erase with the circle and then click, the painted or erased area is smaller that the circle. It's really frustrating when fine tuning an image, you never know how close you are to what you want to correct. This is only visible when you zoom in quit a bit. I worked with an Adobe tech for over an hour and he could not simulate the problem. Then he finally asked if I was using a retina display, (he was not).
the brush, stamp brush and eraser tools are giving me a hard time the actual working area from the tool is so much smaller than the outside frame of it URL....
i'm using cs6.the picture i'm working with was enlarged to 400%.the brush, stamp brush tool was at size: 12px, hardness 100%.opacity 100%
in the presettings i saw the brush was set to normal size.also i played with the jitter sizes, to no avail.
I tried defining a new brush but the sample doesn't recognize color and texture. Is there a way of sampling a small piece of a drawing and making a brush out of it? With the multi colors of the sample?
When I use the healing brush is tends to "skip". It leaves a line of circles like a stamp would instead of a flowing line like it should leave. No matter how slow I move the brush it leaves a circle and then as I continue to draw nothing happens until I reach the edge of the first circle, it then drops another circle and it continues that way as long as I draw with it. The brush tool works fine, leaves a smooth line. The Spot Healing and Patch Tool work fine but the healing brush will not heal in a smooth stroke. It skips along a leaves a tail of circles the size of the brush. I am using a fast computer, i7 processor, 16bg ram and a SSD drive so I do not think speed is an issue. I upgraded from CS4 where the healing brush worked fine on this computer
Hi, I'm having some issues with my brush. It won't brush any other color, I select different colors on "set foreground" and "set background" colors and no matter what I select it brushes white. Does anyone know why?
Is there any way to add a favorite brush stroke to the list of brush strokes, or do you always have to open the original file to access the brush stroke?
I'm using a tablet with gimp and I want to be able to set the brush size for the paint brush and also for the eraser, separately. What happens now is that I'll set the paintbrush size to 10px, paint for a little while, turn the pen over to erase and the eraser will now be at 10px. So I'll adjust the eraser size to something like 50px, erase, turn over, and now the paintbrush is at 50px. Grrrrrrr... I tried creating new brushes for both the paintbrush and the eraser, but there's no brush size option. This is my first time using gimp so I'm probably missing something.
I'm having a problem with the Blob Brush tool where I can't change the basic brush to something else. Whenever I pick a brush I want and I try draw with the Blob Brush tool, the brush I picked reverts back to the basic brush. Here are screenshots:
I pick a brush that I like first
But when I start drawing with the Blob Brush tool, it reverts back to the basic brush automatically
Am I doing something wrong or is the Blob Brush tool only capable of using the basic brush?
I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed CS5 on it. Everything seems to be fine, but using my wacom intuos 3 tablet i found that when making curved brush strokes every so often it came out as a straight line, the straight line being where i start and finish the curve (see pic below. The S stroke is what should happen. The straight line is what happens every so often with the same motion).
At first i thought it was the tablet and reinstalled the drivers to no effect. Since then i've discovered that the same thing occurs with the mouse. The problem occurs once every five or so strokes (i'm doing digital art, so there's a lot of strokes). It never happens if i do a stroke slowly, but will almost always happen if i do a fast stroke.
Testing other painting programs i've found them all to be fine (i grabbed trials of open Canvas, Sai and Gimp and had no such issues). However, getting out my old copy of CS2, i found it had the same problem. The problem does appear to be Photoshop + my computer based. I've since reinstalled them both but had no success there either. (My computer is a intel i3 btw with 8gb of ram, so i wouldn't believe it to be a performance issue)
Whenever I open a file, it instantly starts zooming in as if I'm holding download option and turning the mouse wheel. I've change the keyboard and mouse, restarted my mac, reinstalled photoshop, but it's still doing it. This isn't happening in other applications.
CS6 keeps crashing without any previous warning on me-- and taking the whole computer with it-- whenever I've been working in CS6 for 20-25 minutes. By crashing, I mean that first CS6 freezes, then I get a completely blue screen. CS6 crashes whether I edit direcctly from it, or if I go into it from Lightroom (Version 4.1). When I reboot and eventually go back to CS6, my work from all but the last 10 minutes will have been saved.
I never had this problem-- with the same computer, pentab, OS, etc.-- with CS5. I did have this problem when I installed the trial version of CS6.
I have tried uninstalling every morsel of code related to my Wacom Bamboo tablet, and that didn't stop the crashes. I have uninstalled and re-installed CS6, and that didn't work. I have updated Windows and all CS6 applications, and still the crashes persist. I even tried calling Adobe, but after four and a half hours on hold, I had to give up.

When I move my cursor over a document tab that is too short to show the whole file name, a pop-up appears with the full file name. The pop-up covers most of the tab, making it harder to click on it. I'd like to turn off this feature. I don't see anything in Preferences to do that.
I just installed CS5 Design Premium on my older iMac (OS 10.5.8) and the installation seemed to go just fine. However, when I opened Photoshop to try out new capabilities, it crashed with no image open. I was just checking out the various tools. I opened it again with and was trying to edit an image and it crashed again. I've opened InDesign briefly, but didn't try any new files and it didn't crash. Haven't yet opened Illustrator. Photoshop is the program I use most often. How do I stop these crashes?
