P: brush cursors not working on 2011 Mac/MacBook Air (OS X 10.7.x Lion)

[TheRemnant]

I'm running CS5 version 12.0.4 on a 2011 MacBook Air and the brushes do not work when resized between approx 300 - 650 in size. I don't know if this is a bug but the issue occurs in Lightroom as well. Please advise when an update will be issued to fix this. The software is pretty much useless to me with this issue affecting it.

By the way, I am on OS X 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) on an iMac

OK, OK, OK...I found the setting under "Accessibility", made the change and it worked!!! Thanks for ending a very frustrating time for me!! No need to respond, and thanks again!!

Please read the existing posts. Apple fixed this particular issue back with 10.7.3 (though 10.8 introduced new and slightly different cursor bugs).

YEAH.. I feel for you I had the problem a year. internet searches, high school and college graohic arts techies, the apple store...so great when the solution is found.

Oh my gosh! I am having this problem with Photoshop CS5 using an intuos pro medium and windows 8. did you find a fix?

Notice that this topic is about MacOS, not Windows.
This was about a specific MacOS bug that Apple fixed in MacOS 10.9.
This topic has nothing to do with cursor issues on Windows.

I have this problem now with Mac OS Yosemite. Suggestions? Daniel

Since your problem is unrelated to MacOS 10.7 (aka this topic), you should create a new topic so we can narrow down the issues you are having with MacOS 10.10.

Do the menu command Edit > Invert Selection.

Another way to select photos that aren't flagged is to use the Library Filter bar, selecting Attribute and then clicking on the Unflagged and Rejected icons:



Be careful -- those icons are poorly designed and it's hard to tell which ones are selected.

[tmickow]

If you use the Attribute section and select the middle/empty flag (red circles), you'll filter on all the unflagged photos. 

And if you find yourself using a particular filter combo often, I'd suggest making it a preset, so you can just select it from the drop-down on the right. (blue circle)

Got it - thanks!

Is there a way to select all photos without keywords? I don't see a way to select all photos with keywords that would allow me to invert the selection and get those who don't have keywords.

[johnrellis]

Use the Library Filter bar, with the Text criterion Keywords Are Empty:

[tmickow]

Also could use the Metadata section, change a column to display "Keyword" and select "None".

[carld2369650]

Thank you, I'd missed that option here.

Another way to filter images using flags is to use the toolbar options in the Library module.



Press "G" for the Grid view in the Library module and then press "T" to toggle the Toolbar.

Press any of the flags in the tool bar [highlighted above] to turn them on/off and note the text description that appears briefly on the screen.

Using those flags in various on/off combinations it is possible to filter images in a wide variety of ways.

You don't have to enter the serial number on the Adobe site.
Just launch the setup program on tour computer, it will ask you for the serial number. Then, it will ask for your Adobe's account (to register the license, I guess).

Howdy Brian,

If you could list the undocumented shortcuts that you're interested in, I can see if we can bring them back.  The R key four times sounds more like a bug, so very unlikely to come back.

Thanks,
David

Hi David!

Thank you for your reply. It is not a bug but I think it only works in Windows.
If you have a PC around you and older version of Photoshop, try it and you will know what I mean.

I use ctr+j to duplicate now but sometimes I still use right click on the layer + press D once + enter.
If I press D twice, it would delete the layer. I can do the same thing for "convert to smart object" since it doesn't have a shortcut key. I would right click on the layer + press C once + enter.

I am a concept artist so I work with 2-300 layers/file and this sketchy method would save me alot of time.
I didn't do the major update for my personal PC because of this reason.

Thanks David.

Also, when I want to change the brush property, (which I change very often)
I would press Shift + right click to show the property and press N for Normal or press C twice and enter for Colordodge etc. I use this function every 10 sec and this is gone too. I know this is a very sketchy short cut that possibly only I use but I just don't understand why you guys got rid of it for this update when all the previous versions of photoshop worked. Please Please bring it back.

Howdy Brian,

Ah, now I understand.  I'm sorry.  I didn't follow what you were saying before.  You're talking about Accelerator keys and you're correct.  This was NOT removed on purpose and I've logged a bug to fix it.  This problem appears to have been created with 19.1 and it's Windows only.

Sorry for the headache and we'll get it fixed ASAP.

Thanks,
David

[baumhan]

oh Accelerator Keys is what they are called!

That is really good to hear!

Thank you so much David for your help!!!

[zewt]

Oh, god, this was finally fixed.  I've been downgrading to 19.0 for almost a year now because this bug broke every bit of muscle memory I've built up over more than a decade and made Photoshop completely unusable for me.
