Hello. My pen tool seems to be ' locked on '.

Hello. My pen tool seems to be ' locked on '. Never had this before. No amount of seeme clicks you want to leave the line segement. I have tried all means to control this... but can seem to get anywhere. The only way I can get it to stop drawing is the mouse on my toolbar and click on a new tool. Hmmmm... What seems to do here to create this 'blocking' Thanks for any help.

I guess it's:

Preferences > selection & anchor display > enable elastic for: pen tool.

Uncheck the box.

  • Unable to set keyframes in the audio clip selected with the pen tool - can no longer see the volume control line after developing the clip. What could be the problem? This seems to be the problem on any project that I opened.

    Cannot set keyframes in the audio clip selected with the pen tool - cannot see even the line volume control more to set keyframes on having developed the clip. What could be the problem?  I use the first CC pro @.

    You can use the Ctrl key and then click with the regular selection tool, clicking with ctrl will make a new keyframe. in this way, have no need for the tools. CTRL has other great shortcuts that will stop you having to spend retouching pads tools too.

    If the automation keyframe line is missing, you can switch on and off in the menu sequence.

  • Cannot change a video Clip with the pen tool

    Hello

    I imported video and audio clips to the first, but I can't edit video clips with the pen tool. No line appears on the clip in the timeline panel. However, the audio clips are great and I can use the tool pen on those. Why no line does not appear on the video clips? How to make it stand?

    Hey Lee,

    do not understand what you mean. On video clips in the past the line seems just when I put the video files in the timeline. I don't see them now, how can I get this line back so that I can manually disappear with the pen tool?

    With the extended track, go into the settings menu to display timeline (the key) and select "See the video keyframe."

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you

  • Pen tool outline - join, you have to select two open end points

    Hello

    I am trying to trace an image and include certain details in the trace.  I'm unfamiliar with the proper use of the pen tool, but the illustration below shows where I.  I traced on both sides, but when I try to join the points I get the message "to register, you must select two open end points.  To try to combine them, I tried all the tools of pathfinder, but nothing is done, they do not convert these points so that they are able to be joined...

    The obvious way around is just to move the (highlighted in red) point ontop of each other, but this seems as a workaround / lack of professionalism.

  • How can I change the color of ink for the pen tool?

    Hello everyone,

    I sign a document in Acrobat.  But the color of the pen is red. I want to change in black or blue.  I have looked around the menus but can not find how display.  He is probably right under my nose somewhere, so I'd appreciate any help.

    Thank you!

    According to the official help site.

    "Ink signatures use the default color of annotations pencil tool. To change the color of the signature, click the pencil tool on the tools of comment & Markup toolbar. Then choose tool default properties and change the color on the appearance tab. »

    I had the same problem, locate your question along the way.  Finally, I stumbled on the above.

    I tried to find a better way to access the color of the pen tool, but it's the only way to change it.  I understand that this software is not supposed to be Photoshop or whatever it is, this method of changing the color of the pencil seems completely arbitrary at best.  But, on the other hand, at least it can be done.

    I hope that this answer am you in time to be useful again!

  • Pen tool problem

    I'm having a problem with the pen tool recently. the pen tool doesn't let me do the sharp edges or horns.

    And I am doing this: I

    See how the pen tool will not let me do the curve?

    It is a huge problem, because I want to do logos and I can't.

    If I'm doing something wrong, or using the wrong tool please tell me the correct way.

    I should also add the alternative way (which seems a bit lengthy compared to above, but who can help with a different design)

    Start up and going counterclockwise

    Click on the highest point of the page

    Click the second (straight line)

    Click on the third (straight line)

    Click and drag in the fourth (to create the curve)

    ALT click on the fourth point, which you have just created (which removes the handle facing forward)

    Click and drag to the fifth (to create the curve)

    ALT click on the fifth (to remove the handle facing forward)

    Click on items 6 and 7 (straight)

    Click and drag the 8 (curve)

    ALT click on the 8th (removes the handle facing forward)

    Click and drag the 9 (curve)

    ALT click 9 (to remove the handle facing forward)

    Click on the 10th (straight line)

  • Pen tool Selection Multiple does not

    When I selected an area using the pen tool, I was always able to add or subtract areas of this selection until yesterday.  All of a sudden, I get a warning telling me that no pixels were selected.  (I'm not on a layer of setting or something like that).  Finally I United Nations then reinstalled PS and it worked a few times but then the error occurred again.

    I also noticed that the selection is automatically deployed opposite.

  • Features of the line of my mouse and the pen tool are thicker than my tablet.

    Hello, I have just built a new computer and tried drawing in Photoshop but it turns out that my features of line of my mouse and the pen tool appear to be twice as thick as my Tablet features. I am currently using the Wacom Intuos small Pen & Touch tablet. I messed with the settings and put sensitivity to pressure for setting low to make sure that I get a fixed size for each shot, so it's probably a sensitivity problems. I don't have this problem with my last computer when I used the same Tablet and the program Photoshop I use now. Does anyone have suggestions about how can I fix? Thank you for your time.

    Occam's razor would tell us that it is almost certainly a problem with spring pressure.

    Or the other of the two first round brushes by selecting in the brush Panel must ensure pencil and mouse identical brush sizes.

    The other thing to look at is the options bar.  The other icon highlighted in red, is the pressure change opacity.

    You can use both at the same time.

    Then the filling is already built into the brush.

    If you did the brush off-trail with thick lines, check the latter if there is a fill applied and delete it. Then make a new brush or replace the existing one.

  • Photoshop CS6 Pen Tool Lag (only Pen)

It is delayed and will slow down when I click on layers and do some other stuff, but ONLY when im on this tool. I have to wait 2-3 seconds for what it is to happen after I click on a point on the pen tool. Sometimes it's ok when its on the 'path' one but when its sequel "Shape" his late and goes really slow. This has only started to happen and he was quite fine the last time I used the pen tool. IM using Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 and my computer is more than capable of handling the pen tool, as it has done completely well before. I tried enabling the GPU and change the setting from advanced to Basic. Also, I tried reseting my computer / open a new document and reopen Photoshop whgilst pressing Ctrl-Alt-shift to delete the settings but nothing worked. Can't seem to find a solution and im really confused as to why he suddenly arose and began to occur also if im on any other tool of its fine, no lag, nothing: L

    Hello world

    I have a really annoying problem in Photoshop CC 2015. I'm cutting detailed information on several pictures. I use the magic wand and an eraser. I noticed that whenever I press Ctrl + D to deselect, Photoshop starts to behave strange - no matter what button I press or click the mouse, he changes pen tool and displays error message like "required value is 0.00 to 288.00 pixels", then I press OK and the tool... It's really frustrating, as I really have a lot to do. Someone had a similar problem before? Maybe the drivers? Help, please.

    Hello. I use CS2 since I am not willing to spend so much money on a correct version.

  • In Adobe Flash cc, is there a way to keep the 2 lines (pen tool or the line tool) which cross each other anchor at the intersection?

    I often use the tool/line pen tool and when I have the curve the line with the Selection tool it often crashes on nearby vector lines. Is any way to stop this? In Adobe Illustrator crossed lines drop anchor (at least for me).

    Is it possible to change it? or is there another tool pen / I do not know will not be the anchor on a different line whenever he touches?

    Hello

    You can use these tools in drawing mode of the object (available just below the color sample of fill/outline in the tools Panel when a drawing tool is selected) where several objects create the intersection points. But please note if draw oneself which intersect the lines then it will create an anchor point.
