The eyedropper tool does not work in the levels, curves adjustments

I have installed PS CS 5 extended on a new computer with Vista Home Premium. Any other version of Photoshop has already been installed on this system.

The problem I encounter is the eyedropper tools in the two curves and levels adjustment does not work. The real sliders seem to work fine, but clicking on a dropper and then a spot on the photo has no effect at all on the image.

I encounter this problem when I run the 64 bit version of the program. It occurs only in the standard version of CS5, I need to continue to use because of plugin incompatibility with the 64-bit version.

I checked what is obvious and ensure that the 'Preview' is checked, and that I have the correct layer selected!  


For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sorry to hear that none of those things cleaned up the problem for you.  I am almost sure this is a video driver issue, and it is unfortunate that the latest version of the driver does not solve it.  As a general statement: the Intel GPU and OpenGL drivers are known to be problematic with Photoshop.  A good number of people with Intel GPU report a problem on this forum.

Just to be absolutely sure...  You have disabled the drawing OpenGL, closed and reopened in Photoshop, and the problem remains the same?  Have you tried both ways after the release of the pilot?  Make sure and close and reopen Photoshop after the change is made.

There is another thing you could try...  Clear preferences for Photoshop 32-bit.  Press and hold Ctrl - Shift - Alt immediately after you start Photoshop of its menu item or a shortcut.  If you're fast enough, you will be asked if you want to restore all of the default preferences.

  • The eyedropper tool does not work with a hue saturation adjustment layer

    I use PS CC 2014, and the problem I have is that when I have to use the eyedropper tool to adjust the range of colors affected by an adjustment layer Hue/Saturation, rather than selecting the color in the Properties window for the adjustment layer, use the eyedropper closed the window properties and change the foreground color in my palette.

    Here's the real hitch... the same thing happened to me at the school last night where a) the Mac is older and CS6 b) is always used.

    It's something with my user settings, to be sure, because the teacher logged into his account on the Mac I was using in the class test, and it worked for him. We have logged on my account and it still does work for mine.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the ideas.

  • The eyedropper tool does not work on mac + wacom

    Well - spent months and yet no update. The eyedropper tool won't come color using a wacom + a mac... and when you do that with the trackpad is not always the same exact color. I don't understand why this has not been set. The problem with the wrong color lasts for years--picking the wacom/mac problem lasts for at least 6 months. Please... put some serious effort into your product AND support.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  • CS6 stamp tool does not work with action / record (record of the tool is activated) other tools works

    CS6 stamp tool does not work with action / record (record of the tool is activated) other tools works

    At the same time recording tool was not possible and if you install Adobe Scriptlistener plugin Adobe will disable the recording of the tool its never an option.

    I use and record the actions all the time and was looking forward to the registration tool when Adobe announced it.  But I found what they delivered was very limited because of the restrictions. I don't like that Adobe disables the registration on my machine tool.

    The amount of data that gets reorganized also seems to vary between machines.  I found that Action recorded on a fast machine are not usable on a slow machine.  Recorder fast machine too much data.

    You use this action on the documents must also have the same size and resolution as the document that you have saved the action on. Quite a restriction.

    You can also be foxed in 2014 CC sett here Photoshop CS6 - recording of the clone in an action tool works incorrect on replay.

  • My "move" tool does not work as usual.

    My move tool does not work as usual.

    After pasting an image into a new model, it is impossible to move around, to position the image on a desirable location. The photo is back in the middle of the model as soon as I leave the mouse.

    This is a silly question, I know... I'm sure that some button is locked or not well placed, but I can't find the solution.

    It would be great if someone could give me a clue...

  • Quick selection tool does not work after last update Photoshop CC

    I've updated to the latest version of Photoshop CC, and the Quick Selection tool does not work. I am able to make a choice, and then when I try to make multiple selections, I receive the ball well filled, and then nothing is selected.

    I have preferences in the performance, the value Panel "Big & Flat" in the historical and 'Basic' Cache in the settings of the graphics processor. Thus, the operating system is up-to-date.

    I restarted my computer, and now it works. Don't know what it is, but it works fine now.

    Thank you!

  • Items 11.  Resize image tool does not work.  I tried to chat online with Adobe - no help.

    I recently got a new computer (pc) and decided to download 11 elements instead of the old version that was on my old computer.   I discovered that the image resize tool does not work, even if the other functions seem to work well.

    I tried an online chat with Adobe.  Their suggestion was to buy another picture of them for $10 service. / month!

    You talk of Image > resize > Image size?

    Hello

    It could be that your picture is too large with respect to the dimensions in pixels for the well blur tool run.

    If you zoom in to 100% you see no change when you use the blur tool?

    What are the dimensions of the image in pixels?

    If you try a small image, the blur tool work?

  • For Acrobat 9. Editing text tool does not work.

    Acrobat 9. Editing text tool does not work - even on documents created with my computer using fonts. Problem 2: when you try to export to Word 2010 there is no option for format Dox, only the .doc that belonged to earlier versions of Word.

    When you run the Recognize text command, you can select ClearScan for PDF output style. This then allows to modify the text in the PDF document. Right now, you probably use the searchable Image option by default when running OCR, which creates an invisible text layer in your document under the actual image. That's why the change does not appear in your document, but it is displayed when you export to Word. Here's a little trick that explains what you need to do:

  • The cutting tool does not work after windows updates.

    I read answers to similar questions about the failure of the cutting tool.  I use the tool cutting regularly and I think it's a fantastic tool in Windows. I have Vista Ultimate and all my windows updates have managed: none were not installed correctly, and I did not install new programs or hardware.  It seems that Microsoft knows the snipping tool does not - why can't they simply provide an update patch to correct the problem, rather than make us do all the work.  I don't have to go through hoops of restorations etc to get something it seems work was broken by updates.  I'm about to go to a Mac.

    It worked for me! Thank you!
