Refine the inactive brush

I use the updated Photoshop CC 2015 and Mac Book Pro version:

After making a selection and creation of a mask I have active dialog improve the mask. I am unable to act because the brush is inactive. I get a black circle with a slash through it. Never had this happen before.

Any suggestions?

  • 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.

  • Refine the tool missing - select and mask does not work on hair

    I also do not know how to use this tool. I need to select the edges of the hair and used the brush once I was inside the dialog box refine edge. This allowed me to use the brush on the edges of the hair, and he would choose loose bristles. Now select the and mask feature selects a large part of color that is affected by the brush and does not select just the strands. So I find myself with a person's head and a blob of 3 inches from the bottom red on each side of the head, because it acts as the tool magic wand or quick selection instead.

    How to make a selection with the lasso tool, then refine the edge and select the hair? I often hear to use the pen tool, but who's transformed into a selection eventually anyway. Is not wise to make a selection tool feather each and every time you want to select the hair - I make a selection of the entire body of the person and what part of it can refine the edge. Totally lost on how to select just the hair strands and refine the edge.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Change the appearance of the windows of the inactive VI

    Hello!

    I'm working on a software that called screw under different and they all open as new windows in front of the main one. The problem is that these windows are usually smaller than the original VI and the amount of orders that you see on the screen is sometimes a bit boring. You would see the VI parent on the region covering the new window. I want to do is to have the parent VI change its brightness or perhaps have a "fog effect" on it so that attracts your attention is the currently active VI. I apologise for the confused explanation, but I don't know how to make me "understandable." I found an article that explains how to change the background color of the VI, however, I have an image as the background of the application, so the color change will have no effect. What I want is something similar to what happens when Windows Vista asks you administrator rights to perform an action, if all remaining screen gets darker and brings attention to the dialog box.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Kind regards

    Hello!

    First of all, thanks a lot for your quick help. Unfortunately, I am running LabVIEW 7, so I couldn't find the integrated function of transparency. I checked the tst library and used its transparency Subvi on the inactive window whenever a new window opens.

    I made a few changes to add comments of my research on MSDN about the functions used, so in case anyone feels helpul, here the VI.

    I appreciate the contribution of all.

    Hello - I'm a developer on the team of fresh paint.

    At present, we are provided limited support for sensitivity to pressure on devices that support of pressure.  It is the control of the dynamic brush only we provide outside the user interface.  In addition, we are not provided a way to understand the rotation and angle of contact with the canvas to paint brush.  In short, for our latest version of the application of the fresh paint, the brushes all have a uniform rotation and angle to the surface of the painting.

    Hi Willy,.

    All types of weird behavior can occur when a preference file is damaged. I ask what version of Lightroom you have - my instructions to reset only work for CC or 6. Alternatively, you can rename or delete the preferences file, and Lightroom will generate a new. Here are the locations: Lightroom CC/6 5 Lightroom  Lightroom 4 before we do this, make a note of any preferences you may have changed from their default values, so you can set them again after you remove/rename the file.

  • Help! I can't use the tool brush history BUG? bug objects #rasterizing

    Hey!

    When I try to use history brush it tool SAI: 'this smart object must be rasterized before. " I've never had this error before was pressed something because I rly want to change but it's keep me away... Pls help guys.

    Smart pixel rendering object layer cannot be changed. They can be ordered on with filters and adjustment layers.  Do not use tool on them that actually change the pixels in layers. You may not use the erasers, brushes or filter them directly.  All smart object layers have a transform associated with the scale the layers.  The transformation is as a smart filter. The associated transformation turns to smart object layers made of pixels on a different scale. The pixels of the layer are not actually changed.

    What you are experiencing is not a bug it's a correct operation.

  • Lightroom CC gel when you use the adjustment brush

    I recently discovered the power of the adjustment brush for Dodge & burn my RAW photos. I am progressing through a photo editing however, my Mac gets slower and hangs with the beach ball. I upgraded my RAM from 8 to 16 GB and updated from a disk to a 1 TB SSD HARD 750Gig, but it always crashes when I get into an editing tool. My computer is a MacBook Pro 13 "(mi-2012), processor: 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB." In the Lightroom preferences, running, I get an error message when I click use GPU: "acceleration of the graphics processor has been disabled due to errors. Everyone knows about this problem? It drives me crazy. Surely I don't have to buy a new, more powerful Mac just to use the adjustment brush properly?

    This slowdown/gel is a known problem with make a lot of adjustments and/or healing spot on a single photo.

    There are a number of possible remedies

    1. Get a faster CPU (speed of the car and the amount of memory and power of the graphics card will not affect this problem)
    2. All of your brushing and/or spot as the next step in the last edition and the last step, the healing light up any correction of lens (if desired)
    3. Make the brush in Photoshop Elements or Photoshop
