• I get an error message when I try to use the rectangle tool.

  This just started today, I use a HP laptop with windows 8, I just downloaded Photoshop in January. Whenever I use the rectangle tool I get this message: "Could not use the rectangle tool because of a program error." How can I figure out and fix the error.

  Let's try a Reset of Photoshop preferences:

  Hold down the CTRL - Shift - Alt from the cold Photoshop start.  If you get the keys to the low enough - quickly and you have to be VERY fast - it prompts you to confirm the removal of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being the default value.

  Hi Christie,

  You use the gradient tool to create a background, fill a selection or shape or something else? The gradient tool can be used in many different ways. Here are some videos for you started - if you try to do something more specific, feel free to post a reply!

• How to use the crop tool without losing pixels?

  5616 x 3774 / res 72, is what CS5 says my Canon 5 d 2 large jpeg is off camera.

  Can I use the harvest too to make a picture of 20 "x 24" and keep all or most of these pixels? "

  Leave the area blank resolution?

  The lab I send the file to print, said they want 300 res files (just to complicate the thing a little more)

  Thank you!

  To tell the truth I do not use the crop tool. I use the selection Rectangle, crop image tool and the size of the image.  If you use the crop tool and fill a field of resolution in the crop tool crop tool makes all three operations including the harvest to the resolution that you have entered the resampling. Adobe also gave the crop tool implemented in CS6 that a lot in my arms. Don't mind at all.

  IMO if you use harvest its best tool to fill the field of the resolution. In this way the harvest will not resample.  You can enter height 24 20 width or height width 6 5 in fact the same proportions as it is 12:10

  After you do the crop you can use the size of the Image. In the dialog box uncheck resample set the width for printing on 24. You'll see Photoshop set a height 20 and set the resolution to a certain value. If the fall of DPI value below what you want check resample together in the desired resolution and interpolation method to use and then click OK.

• How to use the move tool in CS5 to put two images on an A4 sheet?

  Have recently updated from CS3 to CS5.

  I often print two images on A4 paper.  In CS3, I would simply adjust and crop 2 images to say ins 7 x 5 ins, after that put in place a new A4 size sheet (new file), then using the move tool, I propose the two images on the A4 sheet to separate and print.  Very well!

  Now under the CS5, once I've adjusted my first image and then try putting a second image with one I seem to lose one of the screen.  But on going back via the bridge and by clicking on the image, it appears again - problem is, I'm losing the second image.

  When I put it up a new A4 sheet, or pictures stay on the screen and there is nothing to move.

  Have been in preferences to see if there is something there to help, but nothing appears.

  Anyone know what is happening here and what I am doing wrong that is how to do 2 separate images on an A4 sheet?

  Thank you

• In version 5, how to use the selection tool to move items?

  I can use the selection tool to select objects, but when I try to drag, nothing happens. My solution is to use the selection tool to select an object, then use the transform tool to drag the object in its new position. Any help is greatly appreciated.

• I tried to clean my pictures using the Rectangle tool, but now whenever I press BACKSPACE it gives me a box of filling instead of delete/cut what is selected. How can I fix it?

  

  You are on background, which does not support transparency.  -Precisely - expect the delete key to do?

  Fill with the background color?  Now the SHIFT key while pressing the delete key will do without raising the dialog box.

  Fill it with something else?  That's why you are presented with a dialog box.

  Make a layer of real image by double-clicking background so that it becomes a real layer, then press the delete key you give transparency.

• How to use the Brush tool effectively...?

  More specifically, I have a pic that is much darker show, a hay field and the end of the field is a hill on the island of trees.  In addition are mountains/hills, this is the high country of Colorado and on these hills are light patches of sunlight thanks to the handful of clouds.  I would like to put a little lightness to the left of the island for a little more definition and I can't really understand how to do it well, it comes out too light and that the border is no longer enough for my taste.  Any thoughts, good people?  I'm NEW to this game at this level.

  Hi James,

  Take the easy one first: pen. He comes to the edge of the shape of the brush. A value of zero pen gives you a sharp hard brush, with a good clear round edge shape to paint along the edges clearly defined as walls or signs. Affecting the pen to a higher value creates a soft or fuzzy border brush which is very subtle; You can not easily know where at the edge of the affected area.

  Workflow with a density control the intensity of the effect.

  Density determines the maximum amount of effective to apply - something less than 100 will result in a partial effect that may seem a little transparent.

  Flow of control the amount of effect to be applied with a single brush. Assignment of a low value like 10 or 20 (think it's percent) will allow you to put in place an effect on several consecutive brush strokes, for maximum effect that is equal to the value of density. So a flow of 20 would take 5 shots to build to whatever the density setting is maximum (100%).

  You can combine the two for very subtle effects. Density of 50 with throughput of 10 means 10 shots build fo up to the value of the total density of 50%.

  I hope this helps!

• overset text when creating background using the rectangle tool

  I met a strange problem that I can't solve alone, and I can't describe it well enough for a search engine to see if anyone else has experienced. I have a document with text and graphics on the page. I've created a header in the master document, but as soon as I tried to create a background color by dragging a rectangle on any page, it says that my header text is overset. I tried to send the bottom at the back of the document in the rearrange menu, always in excess. Tried to create the background on another layer below the text of the header... always in excess. Curiously however, when I clicked on the Red '+' symbol in the text box and click outside of it (as if I had to create a new text box to continue the overset text) will be the text magically adjusted comfortably inside its original text box (and no new text box is created). So I thought that solved the problem, but all the lines of text in the body of the document are always in excess. I have the piece longer than 100 boxes so I don't want to do it manually... and even when I try to adjust the text box to solve the problem "in excess", I have to drag the right text box at the edge of the page so that it is some text can reside outside the area covered by the master page background.

  It is clear that indesign is to see the bottom not as background at all and instead a foreground that covers the text, but what is weird is that this isn't matter if I send it to the back, and it affects all the graphic elements, text. Is it a kind of void master page that I'm missing/don't understand? Thanks for the help!

  It can be a text wrapping, try to select text block, then go to the object menu > text block Options > General > ignore the dressing.

• Cannot use the Snipping Tool/Take screenshots

  After restarting my computer a few days ago, I found that I was unable to use the cutting tool. Whenever I try to use it, my entire monitor turns to a grey color, and some of the text on the tool itself is blacked out. I tried to take a screenshot instead, but the images do not copy, so I can't paste. I tried to install some program of photo sharing, and none so far has worked. They usually give me a black square instead of a picture. I have not installed anything that might explain this recently, and I'd appreciate some advice. (My computer using Windows 7 at the moment).

  Hi Michelle,

  You can capture all of the following types of comments:

  • Free-form snip.  Draw a free-form around an object shape.

  • Rectangular snip.  Drag the cursor around an object to form a rectangle.

  • Capture window.  Select a window such as a dialog box or the browser window you want to capture.

  • Capture full screen.  Capture the entire screen.

  After a capture, it is automatically copied to the Clipboard, and the annotation window. The annotation window, you can annotate, save, or share the snip. The following procedures explain how to use the Snipping Tool.

  Please visit these links for more on Snipping Tool.

• Where is the rectangle tool?

  I'm drawing a rectangle in Adobe Photoshop elements 14. Incredibly, it is not obvious how to make inside the program. I've tried every mode (guided, experts, etc.) and I can't find any way to do it. I googled and all results say 'use the rectangle tool. I do not have a rectangle tool - I searched all the menus, tried to press each button, but none of them are a rectangle tool. When I see the pictures of it, they show a lot of buttons on the left side. That's all I have and none of them are a rectangle tool.

  

  Where can I find?

  You need forms.  See that this photo:

  In your picture:

  

  Then you get various shapes like this:

  

  

  You can fill the shape with different colors.

  Good luck.

• Problems with the Rectangle tool

  Hello

  I'm having a problem. I created three camembert grahics with some text and boxes. Everything has been created in Muse, with the exception of the three piecharts, which are some PNGs. I created a box colored (using the rectangle tool) and placed behind the content. When I discover in preview (as well as the preview in the browser), two of the graphics look good, but the first, is a couple of pixles shorter in height. I have attached a screenshot of the workspace of MUSE and the preview for comparrison screen. Everyone on the pitch "containers" should be 600 px in height, but when I inspect element in the browser, the height of the first 'container' is 594px and the other two "containers" are 599px each. How is it possible for the first "container" to lose 6px in height and two others to lose a px of height?

  Can someone help me with this please? As a designer with little knowledge of coding, I really like the potential of MUSE, but it's these little "quirks" who eat my time and are not really profitable to my budget projects and timelines.
