I just updated Photoshop and the Remove Tool is not working and it has a black smudge whereever I paint the effect, hope if it's a bug then it gets fixed soon...thanks and if you have any solution then please help
It seems that a couple of threads discussing the same issue have been combined with this one. If you're wondering why I included a link to my own post within this thread, that's the reason. So, has anyone discovered a solution to this problem yet?
This solution has been a success as far as the 25.0 general release goes. A user will come into Discussions reporting different color strokes or noise when they use the Remove Tool. That suggestion has worked four times already, and works where resets and reinstalls do not.
Another note: Running PS in Administrator mode and being logged on as "just" a user means that Windows file drag/drop onto PS may not work. The reason is Windows only allows Drag/Drop between programs that are logged in at the same User Level.
Best solution is to restart whatever File Manager program you use as RunAsAdministrator - then they are both the same U.L. and D/D works as 'normal'.
Just a note to add. If you have switched off the Windows RunAsAdmin notifications you'll never see the pop-ups - which of course could explain the great confusion about some people seeing different things. Mine is on which is why I noticed it and it gave me the solution.
I've also encountered the problem with Remove Brush and Neural Filters not working or crashing PS. Both main and beta. Driving me nuts so decided to spend some time trying to get to the bottom of it. PC Win10 - must uptodate board/proc/gtx4070 32gb etc etc .
Searched all over the internet and read things about windows/performance/re-installing etc etc. Nothing changed the problem for me then I read about holding down ctrl/alt/shift while starting PS (25) which I did. Asked to reset prefs which I did and up popped tutorial - did that ... tried brush and filters and it all workd - Fantastic!. Didn't change anything, exited PS and restarted it. Boom.. Brush and Filter broken again.... Did a quick check on settings and all set to max... Hmmmm...
Then I remembered there was a Windows popup window before PS started asking for permission to run the program... That is the Administrator check.... That's it !!! To run a program as Administrator hold down Ctrl+Shift and start it.
Made no changes to PS - using max graphics and processor...
Start normally - Brush and Filter broken. Run As Administrator - YES - it works every time...
There's the problem and the soluition...... Hope you can try it soon. If it works for you don't forget to reset everything to max performance.
