• Mixer missing in CC 2015 Photoshop Brush tool

  The mixer brush or color replacement tool is not on the version of my 'teacher' of CC PS?  I click on the Brush tool in the tools Panel, and only the Brush tool and the pencil appear... no mixer brush.  Should I have a cheapo version or do I have to load something?

  Hey mw,

  You have the mixer tool listed in the additional tools brush (Accessible through Edit > toolbar)?

  So either move back to the toolbar or click on edit toolbar > Restore Defaults.

  

  Restart Photoshop and check if you do not see the mixer Brush tool now.

  Let us know if that helps.

• Paint Brush tool vs. Pen: why both?

  Hi all

  I just downloaded CC. animate happy with most of the changes, but we really intrigues me: the paint brush tool.

  Not to be confused with the Brush tool (which is still to animate it) Unlike the brush, paint brush tool tool is not draw with lock fills, pressure and tilt sensitivity or brush modes (Normal, fills, behind, selection, inside).

  The closest relative of the paint brush tool is actually the pencil, with a few differences: it can make custom vector brushes and draw like fillings but missing modes of pencil.

  My question is: why have both? Why didn't the Animate team just to extend the functionality of the pencil tool to make custom vector brushes? That's backward compatibility? Ease of use? Technical constraints?

  It's a small complaint, but I find it strange that the pencil can do everything from the paint brush tool can do with just an additional command. (You can change a pencil line vector brush in the properties panel, after it is drawn, and you can change a pencil line to a fill to change-> menu form)

  Anyone want to tell me?

  The paint brush tool is essentially the pencil, with 3 differences

  1. With the Brush tool, you can draw with brushes vector art from the library of the brush. (Object drawing mode will be fixed to) You can't do that with the pencil tool directly; Instead you have to draw a line, select it, and then apply a vector art brush in the menu dropdown style in the properties panel. (Note: you need to double click brushes vector art found in window--> library brush before they are added to the drop-down list Style)
  2. With the Brush tool, you can draw as fills or lines using the draw as fill the checkbox in the properties panel. You can do it with the pencil as well, but you will need to draw the line, select it, then click on change--> form--> convert lines in fillings to do the same thing.
  3. The overall behavior of the paint brush tool acts like a hybrid between the smooth pencil tool and straighten modes. On the one hand, the paint brush tool creates optimized lines similar to the smooth pencil mode; on the other hand, it performs similar to the mode to straighten shape recognition. If you draw a rectangle, an arc or ellipse, Animate will convert your drawing an exact shape. Recognition of shape can be adjusted under Edit--> preferences--> drawing--> recognize the forms.

  In summary, the paint brush tool seems to be a new and improved pencil tool and the pencil tool is kept for legacy reasons. The paint brush tool is not the different modes as the pencil tool, but personally, I find the lines made with the paint brush tool to have tasks less problem than the pencil tool. The pencil tool creates lumpy line segments or hyper-redresse light arcs; the paint brush tool strikes a nice balance. With recognition of shape and Vector Art brushes added to the mix, the paint brush tool is an asset.

  So in conclusion: change your shortcut 'Y' for the paint brush tool.

• Brush tool Glitching?

  I don't know what went down in the months that I had not been using the Flash, but now my brush tool has problems. No matter if I use my mouse or my tablet, nothing changes. It's probably a setting I'm missing, but I've looked all over and couldn't not even find an answer via Google.

  First of all, when I opened my brush tool, all properties are grayed out. The only thing I can change is the brush shape and the fill color (which in fact does nothing):

  

  Then, when I try to draw with my mouse or my stylus, nothing appears on the screen, but my calendar shows something is there:

  

  Then when I click on the selected layer, or any where on the timeline in this layer, the line I drew magically appears:

  

  But then when I try to draw on the screen again, or select any other layer, everything disappears again:

  

  What is going on!?

  I solved it. The problem was the fill Alpha was set to 0 and I did not know it.

  It took me asking a person in real life to understand.

• Sampling of color using the 'Option' key while the Brush tool is selected (CS6)

  I'm used to 'Option' by clicking on a color, while using the Brush tool, to set the foreground color. In CS6, it updates the color background instead, even though the Panel clearly said 'Info' 'Click to choose the new foreground color' when I hold down the Option key. Which setting I'm missing?

  The foreground color is the active color in the color chart.

  Manually select the eyedropper tool and click on the option, updates the foreground color. Simply clicking, updates the background color

  Look in the color Panel. The shade with the Untied border shift around it is one that will be changed by Opt/Alt-click when you use the Brush tool. Click on the one you want.

• by selecting the color with the Brush tool

  is it possible to choose the FOREGROUND COLOR while using the Brush tool?

  If I hold down the option key and click on the tool icon brush becomes the eyedropper icon, but click on produces only a COLOR of background.

  I know that the tool of the icon itself can choose fade in the foreground or background, but it seems that there is a way to choose the FOREGROUND COLOR while using the Brush tool.

  what Miss me?

  Thank you

  Vince

  It is possible that you have the background color of active play sample in the color Panel. Go to the color Panel and click on the foreground swatch (to make it active) and see if that makes a difference.

• Problems of brush tools

  I am creating a cover, and I shot a picture of fire (with a layer mask) on the top of my image of a man. Then, I searched my brush tool, double checked to ensure that it was black and white and then tried to go on the man's face, so I see it, instead of the flames. However, when I start by dragging the cursor on the face, the Brush tool starts getting lines across my cover, so the flames in odd places.

  Why the Brush tool is 'paint' on its own? I messed up a setting? I'm not press shift. I can't think of any other reason they would do that.

  Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

  Wow, I just closed and reopened in Photoshop, and when I went back to my image, it worked!

• Photoshop canvas make errors while using the Brush tool.

  I searched google for solutions to my problem, but could not find any results. There is a screenshot of the included below number.

  This problem occurs when you use the Brush tool in Photoshop 2015.1.2 version. Areas rasterized, you see in the image below temporarily appear. If I change the scale of the preview of the Web, the problem goes away and the image appears correctly. I tried to change/disable the GPU settings but nothing has changed. I use a Tablet Wacom Intros 5 and I have the problem with the Tablet and mouse.

  I work in OSX El Capitan.

  Any ideas as to causes or solutions to this problem? Thank you.

  

  Update your driver from the website of the manufacturer of the GPU video card.

• Brush tools like: spacing is always 25% per script

  When I try to put any tool of type brush spacing, it gets all the values, but not the spacing value [1-1000]

• Why the Brush tool uses a lighter color than what I selected

  When I use black that he uses a gray and I don't know how to change it. I can use it on the pencil, but the lines are pixelly

  What are your parameters of brush tools in the options toolbar? Mode, opacity, etc. of flow.
