Pencil tool draw in pink and no color selected

Very frustrated (because I'm a model of Photoshop).  I created a bunch of new layers (no masks), and I used the pencil tool to draw lines on the different layers.  From time to time, messed up, so I used the tool eraser to erase some lines I had traced.  Everything worked as expected.  But then I did something--I don't know what - so now when I pull on one layer with the pencil design in pink and not the colour I chose and the Eraser tool now seems to do nothing.  I know I'm going to erase line is on the active layer because when I toggle the eyeball on that layer lines come and go.

Please enlighten me about fashion that I myself (my layers) in and how it happened probably how to return to normal operation.  Rght now I'm dead in the water.

Thanks - Dan

Hi Dan

I'm guessing you're in quick mask mode.  Press the Q key to get out.

  • Pencil tool switches between black and white colors

    I've been using the pencil tool in Photoshop for a while, but he started to behave differently.

    When I have the foreground color, white color, and black background, the pencil tool draws in black. If I make a new line over an area that is black, it changes and performs the selection with white. It does behave like this for any other color as far as I can tell, and the layers do not seem to impact. The mode is too normal. Is attached a picture of my layout, the black caps were made while white was the foreground color, and white in the middle of the black has been selected above them, with the same settings. Is this a problem of content aware? How can I make my pencil draw blank again?

  • How to change the properties of the drawing tools - choose 'line' and 'fill' color for tools. DC Adobe Reader.

    Since the update to version 15.009.20071 and today 15.009.20077, I have no control of the drawing of the tools - lines always 'Reds' and the 'fill' is always transparent.

    Before the update I could choose the line and color for filling tool tools right-clicking and selecting a range of.

  • How can I disable swapping when I left click on the button of the mouse twice in the color pencil tool?

    I'm annoyed by the fact that the primary and secondary colors are reversed when I click on the left button of the mouse twice in a row, when you use the pencil tool. Is it possible to disable this feature and possibly return the old function where the left button of the mouse is the primary, right mouse color is the secondary color?

    If this isn't the case, shortcut key combination should I use that prevents colors need whenever I paint with the pencil tool? Thanks in advance.

    Which be caused by having Auto erase checked in toolbar options of the pencil tool.

  • Drawing with the pencil tool. Draw the second segment, previous disappears

    Using the pencil tool, I click-and - drag to draw a line, let the mouse button, click and hold to continue on.  When I leave the mouse upward at the end of the second tranche, the first segment disappears.  Why is this happening?  I don't want anything to disappear.

    Double-click the pencil tool in the toolbar to access its settings.

    You want to deselect one or two 'keep selected' and 'edit the selected tracks' depending on how you want it behaves.

  • Draw the dots of different colors and sizes

    Hello

    Is it possible to draw several dots of different colors and sizes?  Small size would be green, medium-sized yellow and big sizes Red?  I tried to use XY and field Multi-XY, but I'm not having much luck.  Looks like there may be a way to do it with ground Multi-XY if I use Plot XY cosmetics and size Scatter Plot cosmetic, but I can't find anything on the functioning of these two options and it did not have a lot of sense to me when I am just playing with it.

    Thank you!

    Gerd has the right idea.

    Say you have 3 ranges: < a,="" a-b,=""> B

    You check each data point as it came, to see who will he fell in.

    Build 3 separate tables and cluster each a vs a table 1 d of the corresponding X values.

    Then if you pass these 3 groups to a XY Chart, you get a graph showing the colors and different styles for each range.

  • How can I make the more precise and less smooth pencil tool?

    Ive moved the slider of fidelity to "specific", but the lines are always really smooth. I need a line in stairs with several anchor points, but do not see this option in illustrator CS6. Thank you!

    Hello Jimi,

    Looks like you are using Adobe Illustrator CC and not AICS6. AICC had introduced these controls as stated in your pencil tool dialog box. Please upgrade to the AICC 2014 of Ai version where you could see an additional parameter for more precise controls.

    Take a look at the tools pencil AICC 2014 dialog:

    There are now 5 ticks instead of 4 in fidelity. The leftmost is accurate is the new control added to make things same as in AICS6.

  • Drawn with the pencil tool seems to fade in and out

    My Nme is Allen Togwell.Case No.: 0183721415. Your type of chat line says I need a graphics card to solve my problem for my CS6. He gave a link but disconnected before I could use it. Can you help me with what type of graphics card, I need. I am 75 years old and not very literate com.

    Thank you

    Hi Allen,.

    I looked at the file number and watched a recording of you work with the agent and I am not convinced that what you see is necessarily due to the graphics card.

    This is my interpretation and thoughts around what have seen you. I noticed that you are working on an image that took a good amount of the screen seen in the zoom of 16.7%. In other words, that it was a large enough image. Then I noticed that you use the pencil tool with a piece that was 4 pixels.

    I think that the combination of these two things was the reason for which the pencil tool appeared jerky or fade in and out when establishing. This happens because you are using such a small size and are zooming back as long as the lines are barely visible. When you zoom in her resamples program appearance. This resampling can cause detail to be lost and the appearance of vary depending on what level of zoom is used, 16.7% is particularly bad, with fine detail.

    I think that there are two solutions, use a different zoom level to get a better view or use a pencil with a larger size.

    I recorded this video for you for example

    I suspect the list that the agent was suggested for video cards was at the bottom of this document

  • Pencil tool works not properly.

    Hi, I'm going to pull the rope in flash, but when I try to use the pencil tool is not draw anything because in the tool properties pencil fill and stroke is set to transparent as shown in the image below:

    Capture.PNG

    It doesn't let me change the color.

    Why is this and how to fix?

    Thanks in advance!

    The pencil tool uses the outline color, the one on the left. Right click on this color indicator in the Properties window. The color picker should appear. In the top of the color selector part will be an indicator for the density of the selected color. Change that number to 100. Now you should be able to draw with the pencil tool, as you'd expect.

  • In CS4 the pencil tool does not maintain a fill when establishing?

    Ai CS4, how can I get the fill color to keep filling when I draw with the pencil tool? The fill color disappears and by default, no fill every time I draw with the pencil tool so I'm unable to see what I drew. CS1 has failed in this way that he kept the fillings or assigned previously.

    It seems that two things have changed in CS4. Double-click the pencil tool, and check the box that says new filling lines of pencil. Then make a new rectangle filled with the color you want and Option (Alt) - drag - upward left most box in the graphic Styles Panel to set a new default for this document. Finally, in the appearance Panel flyout make new Art has basic appearance is selected.

  • Pencil tool restores the parameters of fill/outline of transparency?

    Just upgraded to cs3, and it seems that when I set the fill color, when I draw a path with the pencil tool, it changes the transparent fill.

    I can change the fill of the shape after it is drawn, but I don't want to do this after each shape, and I had not to in cs2. Any ideas?

    Double-click the pencil tool in the tools Panel. Check the that fill new strokes of pencil then before drawing make sure you have the proxy fill filled with the color you want.

  • flattened draw without border and transparent background pixmap

    Dear members of the Forum,

    I am completely new to LabVIEW and use especially for graphic animations.  I want to build a multimedia graphic where parts are dynamic (i.e. they change from red to green to indicate stopped execution of State respectively).  Some graphics that I found that is a tank with level controls and I intend to use these but I need to draw my own graphics and make them animated.  Most will be two binary States (i.e. red green) simple changes.

    I found the 'Pixmap.vi flattened draw' and have used it to make a simple graphical change of two States (see attached vi).  The problem I have is that I don't want the border to be shown in the graphic image and I want to make the background transparent.  I've saved the file .jpg with transparent backgrounds but they come out with a white background.

    Can anyone provide some simple explanations and advice please.

    Concerning

    Bunnykins,

    Use the tool Palette. Go to the color tool. Click on the squares of color in the palette, and then assign the Foregraound and the background of transparent colors (white box with T top left when the color window is visible). Click the tool both on substance and on the border. Sometimes you may need to try several times on the border ge the exact position for the click.

    Note that this makes it difficult to find the control, so make sure it's in the position you want and as you like before you make it transparent size.
