I refine my selection brush tip is a circle with a line through it

I don't know what is happening, but every time Adobe updated the program happens something evil. I use edge tool I refine my selection for years and now with the last update from last night, it does not work.

  • I make my selection then click on refine edge
  • This opens the dialog box
  • I select the overlay as my display mode
  • Then select the RADIUS tool refine

Instead of the normal work with any brush I get is a circle with a line through it, so I can't say anything.

Have they added a new switch that automatically prevents the user to use this tool now? Worked fine a few days before the last update.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The biggest problem with these questions is they always happen when you change a photoshoot and cost ridiculous amounts of time and frustration and to prevent on time delivery.

I guess that Yes JJMack, but to reinstall everything is a pain in the occipital region. I'm on CC and as updates come just click to install. Refining the edges of the selection is such a basis now that I'm surprised that that happened.

Finally, I called Adobe and solved it. The tech told me that with a few updates the "user settings" file is corrupt.

He would do a total reset but of course I'm worried of losing work spaces I had worked to build so it copied those on the desktop, then named the settings file... "old"and challenged market PS

Who have to rebuild the settings file, and we tried again and still had the problem, so he tried a second time and on that one edge tool refine magically started working again.

My workspaces were rmoved to the right folder and these work now too.

Now, I can get this finished filming.

Kind regards

  • Refine the inactive Brush Tip

    I have been using Photoshop for a while and I am puzzled by what they emit just popped up.  I used Photoshop to refine edge all weekend.  Last night I'm not sure that I did, but I've made my choice and went to improve the contour and tried to highlight the area. The pointer of the mouse has a "circle with a bar slash" and when I click on the screen I get the error sound.  I can't figure out what I did.  I use the same exact files, I used all day.  I even closed the program a few times.

    Any thoughts?

    It could be that show the Original is active.

  • Mouse not active when using the tools I refine my selection

    I have re-installed CS5 on a new computer Windows 10 PC and apply the updates by using the discussion forum contact.

    I open a file of image psd and make a quick selection on a part.

    I hit edge tool refine and move the mouse over the image.

    The mouse pointer turns into a circle with a line diagonally crossing (apparently, saying that the use of the mouse is not allowed).

    My eyebrows raised as I say to myself 'it's new

    What can I do to benefit from the features of the mouse while using edge tool I refine my selection?

    Thanks for the update.

    You must uncheck "Show the Original" in the refine edge of window and then you should be able to use it.

  • Where is the selection Brush tool in Photoshop CC 2015?

    I would use the tool selection brush similar to PES and rather QUICK selection brush. Is the simple selection brush in this version, or is it possible to add it somehow? I'm bored of my brush "to draw exactly where you want the selection to be!"

    You can put the selection in a layer mask and make as many combinations of paint with the Brush tool, refine edge, ect you want. Also, if he is not enough contrast to the quick selection tool, a tip would be to go to the Panel layers and find the channel with the most contrast, then push the contrast adjustment curves. Who can help tremendously.

    And the edges are a bit smooth, you might try the pen tool.

  • quick selection brush

    How can I change the sensitivity of the brush for quick selection in CS5?

    If the quick selection brush is unusual, right click on its "icon in the Options bar at the top and choosing"Reset Tool"could fix."

    Otherwise, "Refine edge" opens a dialog box that allows you to modify the characteristics of this brush.

    Check the box below if you want to keep the settings that you have made.

  • Some missing brush tips

    Anyone an idea why I get a regular brush in some cases and something like the coss-hairs of a rifle sight in others. I find that happens when I simply opened photo and copied. (With the help of PSE 8.) The Brush tool still works fine; There is a round brush tip. But, by selecting one of the two brushes produced healing only reticle.

    I fooled around trying to find what the problem: tried it with a layer of setting and without saved/closed and reopened, tried to reset all the settings of the tool. I hope that there is something obvious that I'm missing.

    There are a few things to do:

    1. Edit... Preferences... Display of cursors & and see if you put the cursor displays correctly.
    2. Increase the size of the brush.
    3. Turn off your CapsLock key.

  • Edge artifacts remain after using the selection Brush tool

    I use the Brush tool selection, with a hardness of 100%, the value to sketch an image I want to upload a different photo.  I have described very precisely the image and the outline of ants market indicates the degree of precision which has been achieved with the desired outline.

    However, when I switch mode 'Sélection' in the 'Mask' mode, there seems to be at the burrs and other 'streaks' around the line of the selected image.  When I copy the slected in a new image layer on another photo, smudge and streaks around the selected image forming are very apparent.

    I thought that a 100% hardness value would not all artifacts to stay beyond the line of the selection.

    No idea as to what could be the cause?

    Yes (mobile dotted) selections show only what is 50% or more selected and that may be one reason, you can see additional fields when you go to master view, which

    shows everything that is selected and also with the help of a layer mask show all selected areas.

    The selection brush use some anti-aliasing like the Brush tool same hardness of 100%, which is in fact what you usually want when selections. If your selection is hard edged

    as you get using pencil, then when you paste a photo or put a background behind the selected area, the woul result seem very fake.

    view 3200% on selection to 100% hardness brush.

    Clearly, light anti-aliasing on the edges.

    view of 3200% with the pencil in quick mask mode tool (similar to the mode mask selection brush)

    Note the hard edges. (photoshop elements does not come with a quick mask and you cannot use the pencil tool

    with the selection brush, but you can use the pencil tool on a layer mask)

    Using the selection tools is very good, but usually no one wiill you get a selection perfect without additional work.

    This is why make a layer mask to selection, will give you a lot more flexibility to refine your selection.

  • Brush Tip shape

    Under brush tip shapes, the 'Dynamic form' option does not turn off even after that I have untick the option of turning it on. When I try to paint, "Shape Dynamics" continues to restart automatically as soon as I apply the Brush tool. How to stop brush tip shape "Dynamic shape" to be extinct? Is this a bug or is at - it another way to disable it? I use PsCS6. The second image shows how, even when I turn off the coast, the dynamics of the form is still touching the tip of the brush.

  • Is there a selection Brush tool in CS5?

    I recently moved to the top of Photoshop Elements for CS5 which included a tool selection and more brush brush for quick selection.  Selection Brush tool to paint a selection free style without being bothered by the 'Quick' function which provides guess everything where you can select.  I couldn't find the selection Brush tool in CS5.  Is this one?  The lasso is not as easy to use.

    Thank you.

    The "brush selection" in the elements is a subset of the Quick Mask mode in Photoshop.

    Select fast is something else.

  • Selection Brush tool error

    When I try to use the selection Brush tool I get an error that says: "could not use the brush selection because of a program error." Someone at - he a clue as to how I can solve this problem. I use Windows 7, PES 9. Since then, there is no error code or any suspicion that is contained in the error message I have no idea what to do. Suggesstions any help would be appreciated.

If that does not do it, quit the editor, then it again in the home while pressing ctrl + shift + ALT screen keep the keys down until you see a message asking if you want to delete the startup parameters.

  • CS3 "Brush Tip shape" - spacing option?

    Hi, I use CS3 and I wanted to create a few dotted lines, followed the advice, but the spacing option is not there.

    What should I do?

    Thank you.

    Looks like you missed something.  Spacing with the shape bristle brush for Photoshop 7 and he was there in a slightly different way to Photoshop 3 or more.

    My guess is you do not look to the section of the palette brush tip shape forms, but rather searching the list of presets.
