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.
View 3 Replieswhen i try to use either of them, instead of getting a SINGLE disc the same color as my sample point i get a blotch, containing MORE THAN ONE smudged discs. see example below. i didn't want mickey mouse ears, i wanted ONE disc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a little problem with Smudge tool. you may notice hard edged corners around smudge tool strokes this only appears then you use image sampled brush with scattering for a smudge tool bug also disappear if you set the strength of smudge effect to 100% or if you use default round brush. bug appears only in Adobe Photoshop CS6, in previous version everything was Ok.

i run Ps under Windows 7 version of Photoshop is 13.0.1 x64
I got used to PS CS4 before buying CS6 for my graphism classes and the smudge tool was standing still when using it (Keeping the same shape).
Â
Now on CS6, when I use the smudge tool, the brush is changing at every swipes I do. Is there a way to keep it like in CS4 ?
i updated to cs3 the smudge tool is acting kinda weird... not only on my CS3, in all my friends Cs3 is the same...
Always i smudge something this is what happens...
Finger painting is not selected, strength is at 65% and i´m using a normal round smooth brush (0% hardness)
In CS2 didnt have this problem....
where the smudge tool is (the picture of the hand) i am using photoshop cs 2, but i cant find this darn brush. Its supposed to trail off, i am trying to smudge a dot into a fade away, i am actually trying to make tracer bullets, but i cant find this smudge tool anywhere.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn 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%.
Â
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.
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?
My smudge tool isn't working correctly like it should in Photoshop cs5.

Heres an example. :
I have a problem with my smudge tool. Every time I try to smudge around with a shape, it seems to draw a rectangulair box around the shape, and when you smudge out of those boxes white edges appear around the smudge.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Â
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.
I'm new at this and trying to remove arm hair from this image using the smudge tool (30%, normal), it worked except the arm looks too blured now. How do I bring back some texture ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone knew what is wrong with my smudge tool. When I go to use it and apply it to my image, it takes a while to show the affect. Everything else in my photoshop works fine. Oh yeah, I use PS CS if that makes any difference.

I was playing around with my workspace adding some Macros in a custom command bar and saw that you can select The Illustrator Workspace. So I clicked it and noticed a Smudge Brush Tool.
Looked all over for it but couldn't find it anywhere. Here is a screen of what I'm looking for:
Whenever I use the Smudge tool Gimp Crashes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to use the smudge tool in gimp (2.6.2). I click on it and I try to smudge the image. But gimp seems to ignore the tool. So I decided to play with the Opacity, Rate and even the scale. No luck.
So then I thought, ok maybe the changes are to small for me to see. So I decided to zoom all the way in and try the smudge tool. No change at all.
The odd thing is it is a single layer image. I just tried an experiment, I opened the photo I wanted to smudge with clicked on the tool and tried blending the area. Then I closed it, it didn't ask me if i wanted to save the "changes" I just made.
The smudge tool does not have an circular with an line across it saying I cant use it. Here is the image I am trying to fix up .
looking for a way to smudge very small areas of a photo using a brush or similar tool--Nothing I have tried is working..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI started using PS CS4 demo and when I use the pen tool now to do selections, the stroke is very thin and light. You cannot see it as well in older PS versions. I have CS2 and the pen stroke is naturally easier to see. I cannot find anyway to darken the pen path stroke. Has anyone else noticed that the pen path is a lighter thinner gray path line than normal and how to make it easier to see?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI opened Photoshop just now and found out that, while using pen tool, the Stroke color & its size isn't working at all. I cannot select them, even hovering don't work at all. It's totally inactive. Yesterday it's working fine, but today it's not.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a lj mood theme and I learned how to create round corners - basically I create a new tranparent image, go to modify - > smooth (5px) and then paste the original image. It works fine!, until I try to add a border using the stroke tool - the corners don't get the border, as you can seehere. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, if it's a setting or what. I've tried several blending modes, all locations (inside, center, outside), preserve transparency, nothing works. Of course, I'm completely challenged when it comes to photoshop, so I could really use your help on this one.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi put a pen tool path on a new layer, selected it, tried stroke effect and it doesnt work. also, when i make a pen tool line, when i hit "make selection" it completes the line into a shape which i dont want.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI draw a line with the pen tool, right click and then 'stroke' the pen line with a brush (for example). I imagine I've done this successfully thousands of times but for some reason it just isn't working today (or yesterday actually!). When I right click then go down to 'stroke' nothing happens at all.

However it does work if I go into the 'paths' palette, right click on 'work path' and stroke the pen line with the brush.
I use the elliptical tool to well...make an elliptical figure, I have issues when I stroke it.
It never gives me a solid stroke, it always has a feathery effect.
Is there anyway I can change this to a solid stroke?
In pervious versions of photoshop you could make a path with the pen tool and press esc to basically deselect the path without closing it. This would also allow you to make multiple paths so that you could keep making lines and then stroke them all at once. This no longer works with photoshop CC. Pressing esc just deselects the path but when you try to start a new path it continues the first one. Is there anyway to get this feature back in CC? It is such a waste of time to stroke individual paths instead of drawing all the lines with the pen tool and stroking them all at once.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some reason I can't select the "stroke path" option with the pen tool in photoshop to add tapers to my pen tool strokes. I can only get dead lines. why is this not working?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat I would like to do is to get the stroke shape, pressure and maybe velocity after a `Brush Tool' drawing action is triggered by the user, i.e. after a simple drawing operation.
I have been using the ScriptListener plugin, but it does not record this type of operation: changing the brush parameters (e.g. size and opacity), yes, but the actual drawing action, no.
