PhotoShop CS6- Rotate Canvas Locked- Intuos5

s6

Hey guys. I've had this problem on and off for a few months ever sense I got my tablet (intuos 5 medium). I'll be using Photoshop, for weeks rotating, painting, using touch features fine. Then out of nowhere, The rotation of the canvas 'locks'. Try to use the touch wheel to change brush size, zoom, layer pan, And it all works fine. Just not Rotate.

Assuming it was Wacom drivers, I update, Try a few past drivers, And nothing helps. The only thing I've found to fix the problem is uninstall and reinstall Photoshop. Which is fairly annoying. I haven't even been able to find what button/menu/feature in Photoshop the scroll wheel interacts with to try it manually. If it even exists. If it helps at all, when i try to rotate, all the menu buttons get the little line under them like when you tap alt. I don't know if that's relevant, But that's only clue photoshops giving me :poly141:

All the searching I've done usually yields wacom driver issues, So any advice you guys could lend in remedying the problem would be most appreciated

Thanks,

-Mike

Edit: Ops. Sorry guys. Didn't mean to put this in General Discussion. Thought i was in Tech talk:poly136:

Have the same trouble with my intuos 5. I tryed preferences > performance > use graphics processor. It said that this setting was disabled because it depends on OpenGL that was disabled.

Note that setting can sometimes turn itself off without warning if/when other programs are stressing the GPU.

There is no possibility to turn it on again.

If you are on a laptop, maybe your computer went into power saving mode and is now using your integrated video card rather than your real one ?

Have you tried manually setting Photoshop to only use your graphics card and not integrated.
It worked for me when I was getting issues a while back. Follow the top answer in this thread
My copy of Photoshop turns this function off on a regular basis and I don't know why.

Aye, same here. Another of the things we "just get used to".
