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.

  • Gradient fades started acting weird. Each new fade removes the previous. VERY FRUSTRATED! Help, please!

    Hello

    I have been using CS5 for about 2 years now and all of a sudden it began to act up. I do a lot of fading gradient on the photos of the band, that is to say their fading into one another. I am a novice at best, but I have a working knowledge of the program. A few weeks ago my gradients started acting goofy. Normally, I could take a picture, melted the transparent edges multiple times on the same mask. IE I could open a layer mask, all fades I wanted and then move to the next photo. Now, I'm doing a fade, then when I try to do a second, it removes the first.

    This same thing happened to me a few months ago, but I don't remember how I fixed it. I scoured google and went on an endless search of people having this problem and told to use other tools, other methods, etc. I know what I'm doing (and have done successfully for 2 years) for whatever reason something is twisted, or change a setting that allow me to I reset gradients, followed by the preferences button Reset procedure and even completely uninstalled the program of my rig and re-installed. Nothing did.

    Help, please!

    I suspect that you used to have degraded Foreground Transparent value option, and that you now put in the foreground to the background.

  • I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc. Then tried to open saved files with IE and started acting weird.

    zip files

    I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc.  Then tried to open the files saved with IE.  IE went into free fall.  ???

    I have no idea what opened the backup files when you have double-clicked, or if you will not quote you took after doing this...  However, the official way to 'Browse' the content of the backup...

    You can view the contents of your backup by opening the wizard to restore files.

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.

    2. Do one of the following:

      • To view your files, click Restore my files.

      • To display files all the, click on restore files for all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Do one of the following:

      • To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or click Browse for folders.

        When you browse folders, you will not be able to see the files in a folder. To view individual files, use her browse for files option.

      • To search the contents of the backup, click search, type all or part of a file name, and then click search.

    If you back up to the top PC (VHD) integer then you mifght consider this trick:
    http://www.Petri.co.il/mounting-Vista-backups-using-Windows-complete-PC-Backup.htm

    According to the edition of Windows Vista that you have (and how useful, you will find the possibility to look at old versions of a given file and possibly restore), this could be useful to you:
    http://www.ShadowExplorer.com/
    (not a replacement of relief.)

    With regard to the rate of success vs. failure rate of backup - it is difficult to measure.  Indeed most of the people backs up incorrectly.  It's really * not * enough to set a backup and forget about it.  If you test ever that your backups work/glance to see if you are backing up the good thing - it's just not wise.  Although most people expect that it is essential that the backups were working properly (not a test, a real emergency) to be discovered.  Most individuals who report failures, unfortunately, fall into this category "when my aircraft crashed and I went to my backups - it turns out _ backup _ does not and never told me...» ».

    A question... If you manually create a ZIP file (not a backup) - can you still Explorer in it as a folder?

    To test... Create a folder on your desktop.  Copy some files into it - of different types.  I say COPY and not MOVE on the goal here - because you can just blow this folder and all that results from this folder later if it was all fair copies of things.

    Make a right click on this folder and choose "send to" and "compress (ZIP) file and give a name to the new 'folder '.  (It's really a file.)  On your desktop, you should have the original folder you created and copied some stuff in, and a new "folder" with the name you just gave.  If you open the 'new' folder - you should see the name of the folder that is still on the desktop and go to this folder, you should see the files.  You literally use Windows Vista to the 'discovery' inside a ZIP file as if it were a folder.

    have the photoshop starter edition 3.0 version, I can't access my photos, a message appears indicating that the version is no longer supported.    What can I do to recover my pictures?

    Your photos are just files on your hard drive. everywhere where they were imported to them will be accessible, by default in your "My images/Adobe" folder in your user files. If you know the exact name of the file at least 1, you can of course just use the search function of your operating system...

  • mouse acts weird on Windows 10 when it is connected to the monitor extern

    Hello

    I have a weird problem, when I connect my macbook pro to an external monitor. I am running Windows 10 Pro. The problem only occurs when I close the lid of the laptop. The mouse starts to act up, it applies random clicks. Have more strange is that it stops after 5 minutes or so do. However, if the cover is open and I'm working on two screens, then it is normally.

    Do you have an idea where to start go if I want to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    You should probably ask at the Microsoft support site.

  • 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

  • Clone tool of the photoshop2015 acting weird

    It seems that there is a kind of the flow setting out there that makes meet weird. When I am trying to clone areas, its too intense and unpredictable in how paint in the area.

    the tool has changed in the latest version? What can I do to make it react more as it did in earlier versions of photoshop?

    Hello

    In fact, I don't have what goes wrong.

    You can try this

    To reset a tool, you must first have the selected tool. Then Ctrl-click (Windows users: right click) the button tool preset in the Tool Options bar.

    When you click this button, you will see a small menu and you can select Tool Reset to reset the current tool to its default value or reset all tools to deliver all the tools to its default value. Once selected, the tool will act as the first time you have used it.

    Using this simple method to reset your tool with a single click, you can quickly remedy any situation where the tool does not correctly and to maintain the flow of creativity going.

    If this is useful is fine, otherwise it would really help if you can please share a screenshot of the same thing.
