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

Shaw

  • In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like the brush etc.). I can't understand how to disable.

    In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like the brush etc.). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click on it to handle, which opens just this line in a screen finery semi where all other objects are semi-gris in the background. I can handle this line in this screen, but nothing else at this point I could do 5 minutes ago. For example, I can no longer reach the 2 lines drawn by the tool online together. For some reason, it started randomly (probably due to an accidental combination) and I just can't put it to what it was. I inserted a video showing if all goes well I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

    With images like above, you could make the selection using your strings instead of the quick selection tool.

    For example, to duplicate the red channel for your first image, using levels and tools brush or dodge on the duplicated channel to create a section.

    Load the selection of that channel, then use refine edge.

  • tabs disappeared upstairs and when I move the mouse to the top, they reappear not and I'm stuck on the page!

    tabs are at the top of the screen, as well as the toolbar.

I'm not the most knowledgeable computer, but I'm good following the directions! so if you can ask me how to adjust the settings for the tabs and the toolbar stay permanently at the top of the screen, I would really appreciate thank you.

  • Why some items in 'Open an existing project' have just the name of the project and others have access to the entire file path?

    I have SP1 2012 LabVIEW and on the main screne of LabVIEW selecrt "show projects".

    Why some elements of 'Existing Open' (project) have just the name of the project and others have access to the entire file path?

    Examples of two lines in the list of projects.

    Ping.lvproj (with a path: C:\Users\mlevine\Documents\MPCE EQT\EQT Software\Ping.lvproj)

    C:\Users\mlevine\Documents\Common package Mission trainer (CMPT) \SUW Surface Warfare\Weapon permission Panel (WAP) \WAP LabVIEW Software\WAP fire authorization server 28 April 2015

    No chance, it's because I made a copy of this software and stored on a network drive power off and it went out of this network drive?

    So if LabVIEW sees two or more versions of the same software, he decides to use the name to differentiate between full path?

    I'd still rather it shows just the name of the project and if you hover over the name it shows the full path.

    Thank you

    Mark

    If you have opened a project of the same name from a different location, it is when it shows the full path both - in this case showing just the name of the project would not help because it would be the same thing!

  • I forgot my admin password... and I'm stuck on the computer.

    They gave me a computer that was won by rafel. It came with no software and no purchase receipt. I lost the paper with my admin password on it, and I'm stuck on the computer. I need help.

    * original title - I forgot my admin password... and I'm stuck on the computer. The cmputer gave as part of rafel, so there is no software to the computer. Can someone please help IT

    ..  I lost the paper with my admin password on it, and I'm stuck on the computer...

    While your application may very well be authentic, it could also be interpreted as a surreptitious attempt to bypass Windows security.

    The only recommended method to retrieve an administrative password is to login as another administrator account and reset the password to a known unknown. If the administrative passwords could be easily overcome, there would not be much point in them.

    It is in the terms of use and the Code of conduct of the responses of these forums to request or provide assistance to the cracking a password. Do not forget that you agreed to these and review if necessary.

    You can view the policy of Microsoft about lost or forgotten passwords (KB189126) for more information on what resources are available to you.

    The only advice that I can offer you is either begin to guess what the password could possibly be or reinstall Windows by default.

    I think it's just the Unicode text, so if you include these characters when you submit the form, they will display.

    Your question is perhaps more on how to insert these characters into the HTML form. To do this, because I need it rarely, I didn't copy and paste of a website where I can find the required text. For example, Google for 'unicode ball' and you can find one of them on one of the first findings of the research, such as the Wikipedia article.

    Some people probably have their systems set up to type Unicode directly from their keyboard, but I never got to determine the modern way to do this (and the last time I checked, years, Unicode in operating systems support was still largely missing).

  • How can I build and pass a variable to the function getField?

    I need to know how to build and pass a variable to the function getField():

    I have a form of several sections similar to a spreadsheet.  Each section contains 5 rows of 11 columns.  Currently I have calculations in the field I want to consolidate and move to the level of the document.  The field names in each column are identical except for a row identifier.  For example, in the 1st row: a_debtType1, a_debtTerm1, adebtRate1, etc.  I want to be able to pass to a function of level document line identifier and that connect a function "getField.  Here is an example:

    Document-level:

    function calculateLoan (lineNumber) {}

    var myDate = getField("a_debtType"+lineNumber).valueAsString;

    var myDate = getField("a_debtTerm"+lineNumber).valueAsString;

    .. few treatment

    return

    }

    Level of the form:

    change the information in the form is ready for line 1

    function calculateLoan("1");

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It seems good except how you call the function of what you have. The calculation script should be something like:

    Custom calculate script

    calculateLoan("1");

    Note that you can also get the line number if it is contained in behalf of the field that calls the script if you don't disturb him passing as parameter, assuming you named the fields correctly.

    For example, to calculate the field is called "row_total.1", you can get the line number in the script like this:

    var no_lig = event.target.name.split(".") [1] ;

  • CS5 no longer displays the size of the brush (or other tools)

    Hello

    I am using CS5 for about a year with no problems. Automatic updates are on, and both versions (64-bit and 32-bit for Win7) are supposed to be updated.

    The problem is that quite suddenly all the tools that have a height adjustable, as brush, buffer of duplication or Quick Selection tool, displayed more the circle that indicates the size of the tool. The circle size is visible when I adjust (OpenGL, Alt drag to the right), but not when I'm done setting. Instead of the actual size (which I can still adjust) only a very small circle with a crosshatch is shown. Therefore, it is difficult to position the tool.

    This problem occurred the same day that my trial period of 30 days for 10 items had expired and 10 elements gave me a launch more. (For items because I am evaluating for my employer as a tool of post-processing for technical images, for the most part very simple stuff).

    I tried to reset each tool separately, and then reset all the tools, without success. What should I try next? Re-install photoshop? If that's what you're suggesting, should I disable my current installation before the re - install?

    Thanks in advance

  • Features of the power manager and other problems associated with the T510

    For the better part of 5 years, I was a happy user of an IBM Z60m and decided it was time to move my z60 to my son and buy a new T510.  Well, I have after several weeks of property I can honestly say I'm irritated and frustrated by several current issues and I'm ready to send back all.

    Starting from the moment I pulled it out of the box I was having problems of power management.  I was on Microsoft help forums, called the lenovo support and spent countless hours on blogs and forums looking for help.   No matter what I do in the put lenovo on arrangements to take away my computer goes to stanby after one minute of inactivity and then wonder my windows password.  After a full day to insert my password my frustration level is off the chart.  I removed the password in the settings of the user who has not helped.  I changed the global settings to disable password in stanby mode which did not help.  I changed the function to optimize power and others, but none of it helped.

    Beyond these problems... I inserted two different discs to insert new programs and my system kept telling me that he did not read either.  I first thought they were zero but my old laptop ibm read without problem.

    So there you have it.

    Are you sure that the system is set the mode after 1 minute?  Or is the screen is locked?

    Try this:

    1. right click on the desktop and choose "Customize".

    2. click on "screen saver" in the lower right corner

    3. uncheck the box that says "On Resume, the logon screen"

  • Create some pages BW and others of color in the same document in pdf.

    Hello

    I want to create my pdf documents but the first page color and BW (gray) other pages.

    Can we do this generation of pdf?

    To be more precise, we do no claim themselves or generic PDF creators who have settings on a page-by-page basis to force the conversion of color to grayscale during the PDF creation process itself. This includes all Adobe applications and the functionality provided by Acrobat.

    The easiest way to achieve this would be to create a PDF file of the first page in color, then create a separate PDF file of the remaining pages using parameters to force grayscale for this file. (Such an arrangement is easily achievable in Adobe InDesign, for example, but not in other applications, including printing to the instance of Adobe PDF PostScript Windows printer driver). Then, combine the two files in Acrobat and save the result.

    Alternatively, you can create two files of color and then after creating the file, use Acrobat Preflight for the second file to grayscale and then combine them as above.
