• Pencil tool stop making circles or squares instead of organic forms more personalized. Help!

  Right now I'm working on one, and I try to use the pencil tool to create a more organic form, customized to suit my purpose. Recently however, every time I try to the desired shape, that I want with a pencil, it usually comes down to a circle, sometimes a square. The whole point of me using the pencil is so I can get the specific shape I want, if I wanted a circle or a square I could easily use other tools to make! I'm sure I've done before with a more organic forms moderately modified to be more straight lines or smooth curves, but now when I used the pencil lately for a custom shape, it just turns and I could use a tool to make easily forms! Please help me get the pencil tool to create organic forms again!

  While you're using the pencil tool there is an icon in the Toolbox, at the end of the icons. It is the fashion of the pencil. Try to replace that straighten in ink,

• Brush (and other tools) stuck on the function "Alt"?

  Greetings,

  After the use of Photoshop CS5 for a few hours, the cursor of the Brush tool is replaced by the cursor of the pipette. I can see no longer the brush size or shape, just the pipette as if I had to hold the ' Alt ' key.

  By clicking on the (sometimes) reveals the size of the brush and started painting, but other times the eyedropper cursor remains standing. After hitting the 'control' and clicking (or secondary key), the brush Menu comes up, but when I click on the canvas to start brushing, I pick up instead of the color of the pipette.

  Switching to other tools shows their cursor 'Alt' and other random problems occur with those. None of them don't seem to exercise their "Alt" function, but always shows the cursor "Alt".

  Obvious solutions, I tried without success:

  • Restart Photoshop, and sometimes helps, but the problem came back after 1 + hours.
  • Given zero - solves the problem for a short time, but it always comes back.
  • Taped keys keyboard - not the case. All other applications to behavior as expected.
  • Unplug keyboard - there is no "reset".

  Is a kind of function that I'm inadventantly which allows, or is there something wrong here? All solutions?

  Thank you

• The path selected with the pencil tool editing... CS5 vs CC

  I know this is an old issue and I've complained about this over and over. In CS5 I can select several paths and then, using the pencil tool, freely change paths without losing the multi-path selection. It is a great way to tweak a form of paint. CC (2014), it is no longer possible (at least on Mac). Technical support Adobe told me once he was a Bug "Mac admits. Can someone tell me if this feature was "set in CC 2015? Unfortunately, Adobe doesn't bother to fix bugs in the 'old' version They drive just a new version.

  This small function is of the main reasons that I refuse to CS5 to let die on my computer. If this is fixed, I would consider 'redeveloped' to 2015 CC.

  Here is an old video explaining the problem:

  Not been resolved in CC2015 (although I can't see the video, I have to sign).

  As soon as you change a selected path, others get deselected.

• How can I disable swapping when I left click on the button of the mouse twice in the color pencil tool?

  I'm annoyed by the fact that the primary and secondary colors are reversed when I click on the left button of the mouse twice in a row, when you use the pencil tool. Is it possible to disable this feature and possibly return the old function where the left button of the mouse is the primary, right mouse color is the secondary color?

  If this isn't the case, shortcut key combination should I use that prevents colors need whenever I paint with the pencil tool? Thanks in advance.

  Which be caused by having Auto erase checked in toolbar options of the pencil tool.

• new issue of pencil tool

  I'm trying to continue to draw with a pencil tool, but I can't connect the separate lines that I drew. There is no sign 'less' beside the pencil symbol when I am trying to continue to draw a path. Instead I paint just a new path while the previous fade. Where can I configure this option less so I can continue draw while connection two channels?

  Valentina,

  If the parameters are good but do not work, you have corruption preferably or something similar.

  Here is a list of things to try when things are strange.

  If all goes well, it is something easy (more).

  Try the following (you may have tried / some of them already) and see if that helps you (the following is a general list of things, you can try when the question is not in a file specific; 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted preferences):

  (1) close Illy and open again.

  (2) restart the computer (you can do that up to 3 times);

  (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

  4) move the folder http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

  5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

  Even worse, you can:

  (6) uninstall, run the vacuum cleaner tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and then reinstall.

• In CS4 the pencil tool does not maintain a fill when establishing?

  Ai CS4, how can I get the fill color to keep filling when I draw with the pencil tool? The fill color disappears and by default, no fill every time I draw with the pencil tool so I'm unable to see what I drew. CS1 has failed in this way that he kept the fillings or assigned previously.

  It seems that two things have changed in CS4. Double-click the pencil tool, and check the box that says new filling lines of pencil. Then make a new rectangle filled with the color you want and Option (Alt) - drag - upward left most box in the graphic Styles Panel to set a new default for this document. Finally, in the appearance Panel flyout make new Art has basic appearance is selected.

• Pencil tool switches between black and white colors

  I've been using the pencil tool in Photoshop for a while, but he started to behave differently.

  When I have the foreground color, white color, and black background, the pencil tool draws in black. If I make a new line over an area that is black, it changes and performs the selection with white. It does behave like this for any other color as far as I can tell, and the layers do not seem to impact. The mode is too normal. Is attached a picture of my layout, the black caps were made while white was the foreground color, and white in the middle of the black has been selected above them, with the same settings. Is this a problem of content aware? How can I make my pencil draw blank again?

  

  Uncheck Auto clear in the options toolbar and see if that makes a difference.

  

• Pencil tool not snapping at the starting point.

  Hello!

  I have worked with the pencil for a while now and it starts a bit to annoy me that it won't be a link to its starting point anymore.

  He used to have the same effects as the right pen tool? When you want to bind the endpoint to the starting point, it should be a circle.

  Is there someone who could help me, or just pencil tool does not work like that?

  Double-click the pencil tool, there is an option to close paths

• Interim of weird pencil tool

  My pencil is not giving me the pencil strokes fragmentary, it's supposed to. Instead now it acts more like a brush instead of the pencil.

  The brushes in the view of brushes that have all hard edges when they usually have softer edges as my other tools that work very well.

  I don't know if I pressed something or what.

  You can try to reset by right clicking the pencil tool ' icon in the options at the top bar and choosing the tool reset in the menu.

• Pencil tool does not meet the parameters

  I use on Mac OSX 10.7.5 CS6. I use a Wacom Intuos Pro. I select all the options I want using the pencil tool, and the result does not reflect the options that I have chosen. Lose my mind!

  Of course, I never heard of the pencil as a customizable tool - not as tool - brush.

  If you want to Stylize your paths with pressure or angles, you can use the Brush tool.

  Perhaps, you have always to use the Brush tool instead of pencil.

• How can I make the more precise and less smooth pencil tool?

  Ive moved the slider of fidelity to "specific", but the lines are always really smooth. I need a line in stairs with several anchor points, but do not see this option in illustrator CS6. Thank you!

  Hello Jimi,

  Looks like you are using Adobe Illustrator CC and not AICS6. AICC had introduced these controls as stated in your pencil tool dialog box. Please upgrade to the AICC 2014 of Ai version where you could see an additional parameter for more precise controls.

  Take a look at the tools pencil AICC 2014 dialog:

  

  There are now 5 ticks instead of 4 in fidelity. The leftmost is accurate is the new control added to make things same as in AICS6.

  Thank you

• How can I change the pencil tool to smooth or ink in CC?

  In most other versions of flash that I know, you can change the settings of the pencil tool to smooth or ink, rather than straighten, which straighten your lines and puts the fun in the corners and made of rectangles shapes for you.

  

  CC, I could not find where to change it?

  You can even do this and if so, how?

  These options are available in Flash CC as well. If you do not see them at the bottom of your tool palette, they might cut a small size of the screen. Try to expand the palette of tools double column or just disconnect it and check again.

  Let me know if you still can't find them.

  I have just a tiny guestion about the pen tool in illustrator.

  When I want to shoot as if it were a real pencil and do a lot of lines with her, every time when I paint lines disappear because I'm her redrawing.

  Perhaps, it of because I paint on other lines... but is there a simple way to do new lines all the time, so I can draw a bunch of lines on the other and agross etc..

  hope you understand my bad English.

  With love

  Linda

  Double-click the icon of the pencil tool and check the options. You will not want to 'change the selected tracks '.
