    align function missing

    I am using CS 5 and used to have an align button but can no longer find it. I did a full reset but made no difference. As I recall it worked with the brush tool and seemed to have a little sensor about 1/4 inch away from the brush that detected the brightness level at the sensor location then...

    Difficult selection

    Is there a fairly easy way to select just one color from a lot of clutter like sky through leaves and limbs or skin through fish net? I have been using the magic wand after choosing discontiguous but that is not as accurate as I want. I am using CS5.

    polygonal lasso tool misbehaving

    I'm using Ps Cs 5 in Win 7 Pro and lately I have been having problems with the polygonal lasso tool completing the selection if I don't click exactly at the beginning of the selection. I reset the tool but that didn't help. It's so aggravating because I often can't see exactly where I started...

    Color Replacement Tool

    I am using PS CS 5 and would like to know why the color replacement tool will not work on some images. I can't give any specific examples of when I have not been able to get it to do anything. I also often get a situation of not liking the first color that is replaced but no matter what...

    tool tip getting in my way.

    I am using CS5 in Win 7 Pro and am having trouble with a tool tip popping up telling me the name of the photo I'm working on when I try to click the X to close the photo. That pop up then blocks the close function until I trick it out of the way. I don't want to completely turn off tool tips...

    graphics card for CS5

    I use CS5 on a Win 7 Pro 64 bit machine that has built in GPU and graphics is the slowest item on my performance scores. The scores don't excite me much, but fairly often when I'm doing photo editing there is a very noticeable lag in graphics keeping up with my brushes, so I have been thinking...

    brush outline trouble

    I'm using CS5 in Win 7 Pro 64 bit and I'm having trouble with the outlines of brushes changing color. Some of the time the outline is a bright white, which is what I want, but it frequently changes to a light gray which I have great difficulty seeing. This is a rapid change as the position of...

    Tool Tip Problem

    I am using PS CS5 with Win 7 Pro and am having a longstanding problem with a tooltip popping up when I try to click the X to close an image. This is senseless because the stupid thing is giving me the same information that is already there and it blocks the attempt to click the X. I don't want...

    CS5 not keeping preferences

    For a few weeks now CS 5 is losing my preferences every time it is shut down. I used it for years without that problem and have no idea why it won't keep them now.

    highly restrict color adjustment

    I have a photo with numerous strips of nearly washed out skin tones and some very dark shadowed ones. Having no luck trying to darken the light and lighten the dark so it presents natural gradients. In fact I can't get those areas to gradually transition at all. They become uniformly too dark or...

    Flipping

    Someone tell me if there is a way to flip a clone stamped object? I wish clone stamp had the same controls as the paint brush, but since it doesn't I'm wondering if there is a round about way. I thought I might paste the stamp on a separate layer and then find a way to flip that layer, but...

    Stop the pop

    I'm using CS 5 and it has the annoying habit of making a loud pop when I open it and usually two pops when I close it. I have tried numerous times to find a way to turn that off but can't find even a reference to it. If anyone knows how to make it keep quiet, please tell me.

    CS5 and Sinedots II

    I have been trying to install Sinedots II in CS5 with no success. I am using Win7 Pro, 64bit and am wondering if that is the problem, however there are a couple of other factors that I've noticed that may have a bearing on the issue. After downloading Sinedots, I copy it and paste it into the...

    file path popup

    I am using CS5 and am being annoyed with a file path popup that covers the X button on my tabs when I try to click on the X to close the tab. I have searched and searched for a way to block that behavior (which is useless anyway) but can't find a way to stop it. If anyone knows how to block it...

    Make inverted brush.

    I've been trying to make what I think of as an inverted brush. I want it round but I want the outer edge to be 100% opaque fading to 0% in the center. I'm guessing there is a way to make the gradient tool do that but I haven't been able to figure it out. Anyone know how?

    gradients to control adjustments

    I am now using CS5 and I have spent probably at least 10 hours trying to learn how to efficiently use the gradient tool to fade luminosity and color adjustments. I have comletely failed to figure it out on my own or find any useful tutorials. One of the editors I used to have made it really easy...

    horizontal rotation of composite paste-in

    Anyone know a way to get fine control of horizontal angle, such as pasting a nose that was oriented 30 degrees left in source to 10 degrees right in target?
