Photoshop CS6 recently why Marquee and Lasso tools stop working correctly?

I purchased Production Premium CS6 several years.  Recently, my marquee selection tool and lasso will not bring a selection once.  In order to reuse them, I have to restart Photoshop, but can only use the tools once. I can't use the shortcut (Ctrl Alt Shift) when opening Photoshop to reset the default preferences because Photoshop does not open when Ctrl Alt Shift are pressed and held.  I tried the manual technique to reset the preferences by removing the preferences of psp file.  But the end result is the same - the tools work only once.  It's happening now with the type tool as well.  I tried to see if my graphics card is causing the problem, but it's not.  In fact, the selection tools work not at all when I 'use the graphics processor' unchecked.  I have the latest update for Photoshop: 13.0.1 x 64 what do I do now?

Well, the problem has been resolved.  I recently installed the software synergy to share my keyboard and mouse between two computers.  As soon as I stopped synergy, the selection tools in Photoshop worked properly.  Synergy also caused selection problems in Microsoft Word.  Thanks to all those who responded so quickly to my question.

  • I've updated Photoshop CC and now my spare marquee and lasso tools are missing

    Everyone knows about this problem? And during this time, no anyone know if there is a command key to make a rectangle in an elliptical? I've updated my CC Photoshop yesterday and now I can't access the marquee and lasso 'hidden' in the Toolbox options. There is no small triangles in the lower right corner of these tools. Other tools are very good.

    HI Mciac,

    You can easily switch between the rectangular and elliptical marquee selection on your keyboard, same tools exactly how you do it depends on how you have set things up in Photoshop preferences. Each tool in the tools Panel are accessed by pressing a certain letter on your keyboard. The rectangular and elliptical Marquee tools can be selected by pressing the letter Mand switch between them, you press M new by itself or you will need to press SHIFT + M. Again, this depends on how you set it up in preferences.

    In the new Photoshop CC 2015, we have an option to customize the toolbar according to your needs.

    If you have a few missing tools, then simply click on 'three points' are at the bottom of the Control Panel tool bar and customize tools later.

    Please let us know if it helps.

  • Keyboard and USB mouse stop working correctly with Windows 7 Professional x 64

    I originally had Windows Vista x 64 on my computer (he's 8 months old, CPU intel quad core 2.0 ghz, 6 GB of ram etc.). I installed Windows 7 RC in July (new installation) and used until 2 weeks ago when I installed Windows 7 Professional edition (I reinstalled Vista and then installed the upgrade to Windows 7 by using the clean installation).

    In recent days, I had problems with the mouse and keyboard (the two connected USB). Entries to start acting strangely. For example, using scroll in firefox causes the font sizes change in firefox, instead of scrolling and clicking on links opens the link in a new window, not in the same window. Right click stops running. The keyboard input will simultaneously strange - I can type is no longer (for example in firefox search boxes, or WMP), of if I type, it uses another command to open something, etc. I don't understand what is happening! However, after the reboot, the problem disappears and everything works fine, until the next time it happens (has happened 3 x now). I tried my mouse and keyboard in my old laptop and they both seem to work well. I have not received any pilot error / virus messages / dysfunction (Bitdefender 2010) messages of any kind, and as far as I know, all the drivers are up to date.
    Anyone know what is happening? Is there something wrong with my motherboard? And if so, why are there no error message? And why things work again after the reboot? Help, please!

    Hello

    Update the drivers for the keyboard and mouse should solve the problem.

    I can't find the 3D button in my photoshop CS6. Why?

    Hi Lisa68InTheLibrary,

    You may not be able to find the 3D features or tools because you have the standard version of Photoshop. That Photoshop Extended version contains functions and 3D tools. To quickly check what version you have, choose Help > about Photoshop (Windows) or Photoshop > about Photoshop (Mac). You will get a screen like this:

    If you have Photoshop Extended, you will be able to use the 3D tools.

    I hope this helps.

  • What is the difference between Photoshop CS6 [Legacy Version]($410) and Photoshop CS6 ($699)

    What is the difference between Photoshop CS6 [Legacy Version]($410) and Photoshop CS6 ($699)

    "Drop the support for WinXP" does not mean "Will not work on Windows XP."  It simply means that Adobe will not help you if you have a problem.

    I think that the reference to the 'legacy' version relies on the fact that CS6 is the latest version of "permanently licensed" until the CC model came into force.  Both ads are referred to this version, using different terminology.  There are actually two versions of PSCS6.  One is permanently licensed version, and is the version provided to customers who subscribe to CC, who got a few additional improvements over the version permanently licensed before being supplanted by PSCC.  But the version of PSCS6 within the CC is not available as a stand-alone product.

    Hello!

    I got the student version software Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium for several years now.

    When I got my computer Windows 8 I installed the software without problem.

    Last week when I tried to open Photoshop, I get the following error: "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

  • How to get help with Add ons and extensions that stop working

    I have saved passwords and it has stopped working. It's so hard to get help with Moxilla

    rosemarybales said

    I still don't know why the extension button passwords saved with the key icon has stopped working.

    This button displays the saved passwords in Firefox's built-in password manager, is no separate passwords that record you in Dashlane. Can you save passwords in both places? (Well, I guess you do.)

    I have a guess on why it has stopped working. Firefox 40 has some changes to how extensions can work with the user interface, so quite a few extensions that have been more than one year must be updated for Firefox 40. It has been updated on January 10, 2012.

    Anyway, the way of 'long' to display the passwords saved in Firefox is through the Options page, the Security Panel, the saved passwords button.
