Photoshop keeps acting as if I'm holding keys

A bit of a bug/issue complicated, but I'll do my best to try to explain what is happening.

I work with Photoshop CC 2014 on a Mac, Yosemite 10.10.5. I have a Wacom Cintiq 13HD installed with the latest drivers (maybe that's still her, I don't know).

When I'm not working, Photoshop seem to think sometimes that I cling on certain keys. It will happen randomly when I'm working, and it became very frustrating.

For example, when I use the Brush tool and I cancel an order (cmd + alt + z), sometimes it will act as if I keep cmd + ALT. This is especially annoying because, while I am painting and drawing and occasionally using the Undo command, it move at random and duplicate my layer. Other times, it will not change the tool and will recognize that I have let go of those keys, so I never know when it will happen. This happened even when using ExpressKeys of the Tablet (which I have to cmd + alt + z), so this isn't a problem with the keys on my keyboard.

Sometimes it will also think I retain only cmd and will move my layer. Same thing when I use the ExpressKeys.

Or, for example, when I hold alt to use the pipette, it will still hold the pipette sometimes after I have have let go of the ALT key and have the active brush tool.

What worked for me is to hit Esc whenever I see that the cursor indicates a different tool, but it's really annoying to have the cursor randomly changes every few seconds and have to spend half my time to work find how to cancel travel and the color that I took before and etc..

Did people have suffered with the new update of Wacom, or is this a bug in Photoshop?

When I see a Mac shortcut keyboard and Wacom in the same post, I generally think of the white window plugin.  It may or may not solve your problem, but it would be a good starting point.

Menus, shortcuts, Lasso tool or Photoshop constantly run when using a Wacom tablet. Mac OS

    I got this error 16 experience on my Macbook. The permissions for the Application Support folder have been changed.

    A simple fix Terminal can take care of that.

    Open Terminal (you can just tap Terminal in Spotlight to find it).

    Copy and paste this command in Terminal: sudo chmod-r 777 library/Application\ Support / Adobe

    Press enter, give your password if requested, and then try again. You may need to restart your Mac.

  • Shift-drag in illustrator as in photoshop keep things online

    Hey guys,.

    How do you shift + drag as in Photoshop where he keeps things in a straight line when you drag down or to the side. In photoshop if you use the move tool and hold SHIFT while you use, it will keep things perfectly straight down or horizontally when you drag. I tried this in illustrator, and instead, he said his "head tilt selection" rather than let me drag the rectangle around the canvas. Any ideas?

    Panda,

    ShiftClickDragging with the selection tool should work (with or without Smart Guides that show you what you're doing).

    It may be time for the list.

    The following is a general list of things, try when the question is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall.

  • Photoshop started acting weird

    whenever I try to do a fill layer, it fills all except my selection. When I try to draw a dashed line, it is invisible. Should I reintall Photoshop? I use CS5.5.

    The next logical step is to rest your preferences.

    To reset the preferences:

    If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close (Quit). Then press and hold Shift + Ctrl + Alt (Win) / command + shift + Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.

    A dialog box appears asking if you want to delete the preferences file existing ("settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing preferences file will be discarded and a new one will be created.

  • My photoshop keeps telling me that my printer is in offline mode, all other applications is very good. any idea?

    The above says everything really. Basically, I can't get my photoshop to recognize my printer. Cable is connected via usb, but nothing. Tried unplugging him and reconnect, turned everything works again and re-installed same printer drivers... nothing.

    As I said, I can print from Indesign, but more than anything that I have to use my scanner on Photoshop... any ideas?

    I would reset the Photoshop preferences.

    Hold cmd-opt-shift and then start Photoshop. A dialog box will ask you if you want to delete the settings file. Confirm by "Yes".

    Let me know if that suits him.

  • Photoshop keeps locking when opening

    I see the loading circle but can't do anything else.  Cannot close the program without logging my computer.  What I am doing wrong?

    Nice day!

    What did you do for troubleshooting so far?

    Restoration of preferences after checking all the presets custom like stocks, models, brushes etc. have been saved can be a good starting point:

    I'm trying to write the text in my pictures, but all of my registration is spaced and I can't understand how to adjust it. See attachment...

    The top is in Arial font and is spaced... The other is the impact that would be close, but seems spaced.

    I restarted my computer and photoshop, but the problem persists.

    Hi michaelw,.

    Go in the character Panel and decrease the value of follow-up that is for spacing between characters.

  • Cc of Photoshop keeps freezing computer

    So I just got Photoshop CC and my computer seems to have a lot of trouble, just the race for more than 2 minutes. I tried to lower the ram it uses, disable the gpu and changed "scratch disks" to see if that would do anything, but it doesn't seem to work. I check my graphics card and it said its updated. I updated my computer also and it still does not work. I saw someone say to try to reset the preferences and that seems to work for like a minute, and then it would freeze again. It is so bad to the point where I can't even do ctrl + alt + delete to get to the Task Manager or right click on the taskbar and clicking Start Task Manager.

    My physical characteristics are:

    Windows 7

    Intel Core i7 - 2600 K @ 3.40 Hz CPU

    16.0 GB of ram

    64-bit operating system

    AMD radeon hd 7700 series

    Any help would be great. Every time I tried to do a different test, it freezes and I had to do a hard reboot every time. I don't even get a blue screen of death, everything stops.

    So I was able to understand that if I checked all the hard drives to be used as a scratch disk that it actually works very well now. I have 4 hard drives I have used, and everything is very smooth. I opened documents, rearranged, panels, etc. There is no slowdown whatsoever.
