I try to click again to make a new brush through the previous settings are still there and if I start painting it is also change of exposure, etc.. What is the best way to reset all the previous settings without changing anything in my image? In other words, I don't want to erase any setting that I've already applied to the image at the new adjustment brush.

    Thanks for any info.

    As soon as you click on new, just double-click on the word effect upward the adjustment panel brush. Which resets everything in the adjustment brush. But since you have chosen again, it will have no effect on your previous brush.

    Quote: it's only when I have no tabs open I get the blank page (instead of the homepage).

    There is always at least one open tab, if it didn't is no extensions installed that hide the bar tab in this case.

    Two issues here. Phoshop CS5 on Wind 7 64-bit.

    Number of physical processors: 8
    Processor speed: 3073 MHz
    Built-in memory: 12279 MB
    Free memory: 9577 MB
    Memory available to Photoshop: 10934 MB
    Memory used by Photoshop: 80%
    Tile image size: 128K

    First issue is since the last update automatic Adobe (why fix what is not broken?) Whenever I go out now Photoshop I get the message "Server QT Adobe has stoped working" and sometimes when I go out the bridge. InDesign behaves as evil. I can no longer start a previous document in the file without ID Manager crashing on.

    The other is the sliders in the Clone and delete lose their advantage (become invisable) without any reason - well not quite. Noise Ninja crashed in Photoshop when I tried to use it. I reinstalled it and all is well. The issue of cursor seems to be intermittent but came back (for no reason), after that I reinstalled NN. I can't seem to change the cursor, no matter what I do. The problem now seriously affect how I work. Almost any return to Win XP, who ran perfectly in Photoshop CS5.

    Any help will be accepted with gratitude.

    Doug

    Cursor problems are known to be caused by outdated video drivers (nVidia).

    Assuming you have a nVidia (which model?) video card, go to their web site and download and install the latest video drivers for your card.

    Also, this could very well solve your crash.

    Don't forget the video drivers to apply the OpenGL system, on which Photoshop relies heavily.

  • Favicons repeat through tabs, behind the label text when you switch between tabs. 37.0.1 sometimes the Green scroll bar does not have too

    Please mention the attached JPEGS. When I switch between tabs, favicon image repeated behind the text. In some cases, the image of the vertical scrollbar is messed up, it cleared up when I click on it. -Does not appear to affect performance, simply annoying. Thank you!

    Please temporarily disable your Avast extension to see if it has to do with it.

    Try Firefox Mode without failure:

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  • Windows 7: error 5 (access denied) when you try to start the Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) service

    System: Win 7 Ultimate x 64 on a HP Pavilion DV6. My account is the user account only suitable on the laptop and an administrator account.

    When you try to do a system restore, it came with an error that the Volume Shadow Copy Service did not work, even if this error code is not relevant for the purposes of this question later, I managed to run the system restore in SafeMode to an old restore point...

    When you try to turn on VSS, I checked services.msc (which I ran as administrator) and VSS was off and on the manual. I tried clicking on start, the following error message came:

    "Windows didn't start the Volume shadow copy on the Local computer service."
    Error 5: access is denied. »

    I then switched to automatic and tried again, same error. I tried since everything I can possibly think (including the definition of back and forth between manual & auto then trying the solutions below) to get the service starts, nothing helps. The solutions tried so far:

    -net start vss high cmd - returns the same error (error 5 access is denied)
    -high vssvc.exe cmd - same
    -changed the full control permissions for me, the group admin and NETWORK SERVICE (that I had to add) to the System32 folder and vssvc.exe but no change
    -changed the permissions to full control for myself, admin and NETWORK SERVICE group (who even once, I must add) for VSS in regedit (open as administrator) still nothing
    -even tried to restart explorer.exe a high cmd and a task manager high and again made the permissions - still nothing.

    The only thing I haven't done is run a sfc scan, but tbh, I doubt that will fix anything. It also seems that VSS has been turned off for a while, as my last restore point was about 3 months ago and I installed things since.

    Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated, because I'm going nuts with that now! Thank you!

    The Volume Shadow Copy Service must not be on auto-start.

    According to the site TechNet Microsoft VSS THAT was introduced with Windows XP SP1 and since that time it has always installed as manual start since he does not need to be started automatically and it works day and night to do nothing.  Some places say different times when VSS has been introduced, but be sure that it was a long time ago.

    A popular site to see how Windows Services should / could be put in place is here:

    http://www.blackviper.com/service-configurations/

    If you've read about VSS on Microsoft TechNet, it says:

    https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh125927 (v = ws.10) .aspx

    So do you think the MS TechNet site is fake and that each installation of Windows since XP has a badly installed VSS Service?  If that were the case all Windows systems in the world would be in trouble.

    On an unafflicted system if you open the services applet and observe the VSS Service, it should look like this:

    So if you start a backup operation or even create a Restore Point, go back to the Service applet and press F5 to refresh you'll see that the VSS Service changed its status to start:

    Once the operation is complete the VSS Service will stop itself (it may take a while).

    That's how it is supposed to work.

    We should certainly be able to affect the automatic VSS Service and you should be able to start, but you shouldn't need to.  People who say that "solved their problem" forgets to mention the days/weeks to try things that lead to get their system of work.  There is no way of knowing which of the dozens of things that they could have tried really solved the problem.

    You say that the system restore worked in Mode safe (but not a normal startup) and if it is true that means usually something to load in a normal trunk causing a problem and that something is usually an antivirus/antimalware application that is 'protect' your system against the changes.  When you start mode safe these things are usually not loaded this is why sometimes your system restore mode without failure.

    Contributors known for these programs are Norton, McAfee, Avast, Avira, Kaspersky and probably others.

    So what antivirus/antimalware programs you are running and have checked their support pages for known problems with backup/restore system restore?

    Norton has even a page about these issues:

    https://support.Norton.com/SP/en/us/home/current/solutions/v51118464_EndUserProfile_en_us

    Even McAfee told their product to uninstall completely before doing a system restore:

    "Intel Security recommends that you remove McAfee security products before to proceed with an upgrade of the operating system or the Microsoft System Restore and then re-install your McAfee product when the update/restore is complete. "

    So I assumed that whatever your AV program happens to be could be part of the issue here - but we don't know what it is.

    We know error 5 is a permissions/access denied error type, but you shouldn't make adjustments to get VSS to start if something is wrong.  If as you have tried adjustments have been necessary every Windows system in the world should also make these adjustments and coming is not past.

    Of course, now, your system might be more affected since you've been changing permissions on the things trying to VSS to start when there is probably not a problem with VSS in the first place, so who knows what condition are in now.

    You could start by uninstalling what your AV software (most manufacturers have a special program for that) and by eliminating third-party applications that are known to interfere.  You can always reinstall them again later, no?
