Why my brush and pencil tools are faded?

When I try to paint a picture with the pen or brush tool, my job seems very low. I knew that I must have changed somehow opacity--but it is set at 100%. Ditto for the filling.

I played with all sorts of settings, but I can't restore my pen/brush at full power. If I use the paint bucket, the results are bleak. So why aren't my tools pen and brush work?

You can check that your tool and layer Blend Modes are set to normal.

If this does not work, reset all the tools by right-clicking on the icon in the options bar.

  • The 2015 CC/brush flash pencil tool does not work with Cintiq

    I recently bought a Wacom Cintiq 22HD and all new Adobe software.  I mainly use Photoshop and Flash to the drawing and animation. (Before I was running cs6 products on windows 7 on a Tablet and everything worked fine).

    My configuration: Lenovo IdeaPad Y 50-70.  Windows 8.1.  Wacom Cintiq 22HD with latest driver. Adobe Flash CC 2015.

    The main problem I have is in Flash.  Everything works fine in Photoshop, I can draw on the screen without problem.  But I can't use the brush or pencil in Flash tool. When I draw the mouse, all right. When I use the pen, he made this super long line on the side of the document.  If I try to draw something, he's going to draw, but super far from where it is supposed to. The strange thing is that when I use the brush with a normal mouse tool, it works fine. When I use the online tool, pen tool or other tools, my cintiq pen works very well. It is ONLY the brush and pencil tools when using my Cintiq. I have to be able to draw with my Cintiq in Flash.


    Are there any solutions for this problem? Help, please!

  • Pépin of tools brush and pencil with Cintiq 13HD in Flash CC 2015

    I got Flash CC 2015 installed today and then tried to finish an illustration that I was working on yesterday, using my 13HD Wacom Cintiq.  All the tools work well (selection, movement and adjustment tools, shape tools, etc.) except for the pencil and brush tools.

    Whenever I try to make a mark with the pencil or brush tool, it draw a straight line on the left of the scene instantly and will not let me draw.  If I shoot with the mouse, it works very well.

    Other information that might be useful: I have the latest drivers available from Wacom installed.  I have the tablet in left-handed mode.

    EDIT: Just noticed that the Eraser tool does the same thing.  It erases a line directly at the exit of the scene to the left of every time I touch the Cintiq.

  • Why my mouse and my pen are jerking around the sliders in the develop module?

    I have a Logitech bluetooth mouse, Apple bluetooth mouse and a Wacom tablet. All these devices are jerking around when I try to use the sliders to develop. I can click on contrast and when I start to move, it will just move very fast then come back and I can't control it. When I click on, it remains on this issue and continues to move even when I try to click on another slider. I disable all but one device at a time, and it makes no difference. At all the most recent drivers.  Have 50 GB of cache on its own internal 1 TB drive. Can live with shabby performances with brushes and tools, but cannot do much if you can't work the sliders.

    1.jpg

    I did it from the start, turn off all but one I would use. Tablet's intuos PTK640 old and verification with Wacom on a pilot as being more shown on their site. So, do not try to use it now.

    Apple mouse now works normally. I saw an article on the deletion of a file in the library and let them rebuild on restart and did. Can be what makes the difference because I did nothing more to LR.

    Mouse Logitech is always useless in LR. He's older, but a current driver. I think the problem is with the driver and not LR. It will replace and have another go at him. Apple mouse is not the best design for a work of LR. Hope I can get the tablet in game.

    Thanks for the help and I will consider this problem solved for now at least.

  • Healing Brush and Patch tool

    Can someone please teach me how to use the healing brush and the patch tool? I didn't get the video!

    Hello
    If you are struggling with the video - it might be useful in providing a link and by showing how you are getting lost.

    Reading in the meantime, this might help: retouching and repair photos

    Also some examples of a recent wedding:

    In the first, I used the Healing Brush tool spot, value "Content Aware" to paint on a sheet at the foot clamps in a wedding photography. It was literally just paint on leave and then releasing the mouse button (or a pen) and Photoshop filled in the region.

    The second was an area with the pattern and the spot Healing Brush tool could not match the pattern exactly

    I chose the region of the offending piece of the grass, the patch the Source value tool, and then drag the selection to another box patch until the model matched. When you release the mouse, Photoshop has mixed model

    The third was the abolishment of a from offending lamp from a background.

    In this case, I used the Healing Brush tool.

    I selected the source (i.e., what part of the image to paint with) whenever by holding down the ALT key while clicking on and then painted on the station. By choosing a variety of sources in different parts of the background, I have avoided the repetition of pattern tree.

    I hope this helps you

  • Reset the race to 1pt, uniform profile in Illustrator CS6 (with brush and pencil)

    Hello!  It wasn't a problem in CS5, and I can't figure out how to change it in CS6.  I would like to illustrate with the pencil tool.  I put the line in the profile of width 1 (tapered at both ends) and loading everything that makes sense for my current project, and it continues to change back to uniform and 1pt.  I tried to get my settings to 'stick' with the pencil tool and Brush tool and had no luck.  The only way I can change the profile of the race is to do it AFTER loading is done.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    This is only possible with the pencil tool.

  • 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.

  • Brush (and other tools) stuck on the function "Alt"?

    Greetings,

    After the use of Photoshop CS5 for a few hours, the cursor of the Brush tool is replaced by the cursor of the pipette. I can see no longer the brush size or shape, just the pipette as if I had to hold the ' Alt ' key.

    By clicking on the (sometimes) reveals the size of the brush and started painting, but other times the eyedropper cursor remains standing. After hitting the 'control' and clicking (or secondary key), the brush Menu comes up, but when I click on the canvas to start brushing, I pick up instead of the color of the pipette.

    Switching to other tools shows their cursor 'Alt' and other random problems occur with those. None of them don't seem to exercise their "Alt" function, but always shows the cursor "Alt".

    Obvious solutions, I tried without success:

    • Restart Photoshop, and sometimes helps, but the problem came back after 1 + hours.
    • Given zero - solves the problem for a short time, but it always comes back.
    • Taped keys keyboard - not the case. All other applications to behavior as expected.
    • Unplug keyboard - there is no "reset".

    Is a kind of function that I'm inadventantly which allows, or is there something wrong here? All solutions?

    Thank you

  • Why the "multiply" and "division" functions are symbolized as well: * and / respectively.

    Why they have been modified by their traditional symbols that have been used for centuries and are universally accepted?

    The standard computer keyboard is derived from the keyboard terminal teletype, which is in turn derived from a standard typewriter keyboard that did not have these two mathematical operators.

    The basic ASCII code set has them nor even if it does not include the more obscure characters like tilde ~ and the hose. characters. Maybe it's partly because computer simply math multiply and divide operators do not exist, either because they exist not on the keyboard, how do you type them.

    Once computers started being used in anger operators were necessary but ASCII and keyboards were well defined, an alternative was developed.

    It seems that I can't extend the changes I made when you paint an alpha channel on a layer of 30 sec in a clip in the clip at the earliest (IE frame 0). Is it possible to visually extend by a keyframe, or I have to repaint everything at frame 0?

    When spin you to the bottom of your layer in AE, you see the effect of the painting? If you twirl it open, you will see a layer little Gizmo for every feature. You can move the entourage in time as much as you want.
