P: PS Beta 25.4: Pen tool: Option/Alt shortcut key

[avinay33380247jzhu]

I have encountered some difficulties with the pen tool in Photoshop 25.4. Since the latest update, the pen tool does not work as it should. For instance, when I try to remove an anchor point, the convert point tool does not switch on automatically. Also, the eyedropper tool appear when i press ALT button. These problems are affecting my workflow and productivity. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance on how to resolve this error. Thank you for your time and attention.

Adobe is aware of this bug in Photoshop beta, which is for finding and reporting bugs to the PS team. The fix is to use the released version, which does not have the bug.

@Iam-Yudistira what version number of PS are you running?

@Iam-Yudistira 

It's a bug in the beta version of Photoshop, which is for finding and reporting bugs, and Adobe is aware. Use the released version which does not have the bug.

Hello, thank you for addressing my concern. The version I am currently running is the Beta Version. I have recently come across several similar issues in the Adobe Community, and I can confirm that what @jane-e mentioned is indeed accurate.

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

Since all of these posts are for the Beta I will merge with the main beta post which has responses from the Adobe team.

Bonjour, je n'arrive plus à modifier un point lors d'un tracé avec l'outil plume, lorsque j'appuie sur la touche ALT j'ai la petite cible qui apparait puis un grand rond !!!

Comment corriger ça ? 

Merci

 

[Waow75]

Je rencontre le meme problème !!!
As tu trouvé une solution ? 
Merci

Bonjour, je n'ai pas trouvé de solution et je pense que ça vient de photoshop.
J'ai installé la dernière version à ce jour de la version beta sur le poste d'une collègue et elle rencontre le même problème.
Donc à moins d'un correctif, je pense qu'il n' y a rien à faire... en esperant que ce problème n'apparaisse pas dans la version finale.

In Photoshop 2024 (Beta version mac 25.5 v2464) the standard Pen Tool — After pulling a curve, I hold down the Option key (as I have been doing for many years) and I click the last anchor. This suppose to breaks the anchor's symmetry. I can then click to create a straight segment, or click-drag to create an un-smooth curve.

Well it will not breaks the anchor's symmetry, Instead it is showing eyedropper tool

Any help?

Yes it's a known bug in the beta version.

The problem is. When I'm creating a shape with the pen tool.
I cannot rmove extra anchor points.
I pressed the anchor point with Alt button, but the extra anchor didn't rmove.
And the result is showing the eye dropper tool.

It's been more than a month, and you still haven't fixed the behavior of the Pen Tool with the Alt key pressed. When will you finally correct it? Additionally, you've transferred this issue to the non-BETA version of Photoshop, and it's not working there either.

[Miguel239961196mpn]

FYI - Still not working. How can you fix this problem where I can use the Alt pen tool?

[dennisr8048472]

It's happening on Mac as well.

Dieser Fehler erschwert auch mir meine Arbeit gravierend.

Bitte umgehend beheben. Niemand braucht hier die Pipette 😞

[Jozan29185159fbx2]

If you are using the beta version, I recommend using version 25.5.0

[Lubos_PM]

It's finally fixed in beta 25.5 – updated today. 

[Oleg5D13]

When i work with pen tool and click ALT, it has been already not changed at the Convert Tool, but it selected EyedroppedTool? why?

[kglad]

what app?

@Oleg5D13 

This is a bug in Photoshop Beta and Adobe is aware. I've moved your post from Creative Cloud Desktop to the Primary thread in Photoshop Beta where the Photoshop team will announce when they have a fix.

The solution for the interim is to use the released version. The purpose of the Beta is to find and report bugs, so bugs are to be expected.
