Photoshop pen tool error

[Sabastien5EAE]

Hey everyone.

To try and fix this issue I have:

Un-installed and re-installed photoshop

Tried an earlier version

Reset my tools

Accessing pen tool settings (It's all grayed out)

This issue randomly started up for me and I was wondering if anyone had a fix. I try drawing a path with the pen tool but it doesn't trace like it typically should. Instead I get this grayed out, very buggy version (Pictured below). If anyone has a fix or any idea of what I can do please let me know.

Thanks.

Perhaps you can try with Preference reset https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

Can you explain more...what do you mean by trace? Which pen are you using? The Freeform Pen, Regular Pen tool or Curvature Pen tool? Are you creating a path or a shape? If you could give us a little more informaiton, it would help alot.

Thanks,

Michelle
