Suddenly I am no longer able to make any adjustments to images. When I try altering the curves, or levels, it looks like a change is happening,(shows up in preview)but when we hit OK, the change I made completely disappears and the image looks the same as before I tried to apply the adjustment.
View 6 Replies[URL] Namely, when using Adjustments > Curves, the changes appear in the preview mode but don't stick when I press OK.
I'm using Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0 under Windows 7.0. I received some black and white drawings from two artists. They're TIFFs, converted to CMYK/8, with only one background layer. My goal is to darken the black lines in selected sections using the Curves function.
I've used Curves successfully with the images from Artist A but not Artist B, so I don't think it's a problem with my technique or my Photoshop installation. It must be something specific to Artist B's files.
1) Deleted the preferences file and let Photoshop create a new one. No change.
2) Viewed the image at 100% rather than, say, 33.3%. Actually, that's worse. The changes are visible in the preview mode at 33.3% but NOT at 100%.
3) Created a duplicate layer with CTRL-J and tried Curves on it. No change.
4) Double-clicked on the Background layer to create a Layer 0 and tried Curves on it. No change.
* The Curves preview mode shows the changes when I lighten the sections, but there's no perceptible change when I darken the sections. Again, the changes don't stick when I press OK.
* I tried the Brightness/Contrast function to see what would happen. Nothing. The images don't change even in the preview mode.
But when I clicked the Use Legacy box in Brightness/Contrast, the function worked and the changes stuck. What does that mean? That the files are saved in an old format that version 10.0 can't modify? I thought a TIFF was a TIFF.
To address the last point, I saved the file under another name and tried Curves on that file. I tried the four suggestions above as well. Again, the changes in the preview mode were visible at a lower magnification but not at 100%. The only difference is that, unlike before, darkening the image produced noticeable changes. But the changes still didn't stick when I pressed OK.
We have a bunch of shots taken using natural light - the shots all have completely different exposure and white balance adjustments.
Now that the shots feel like they've been shot at the same time of day (and on the same day) we'd like to start adjusting the white balance accross multiple shots - but use the current white balance/exposure from each individual shot as the starting point - not reset the adjustments.
Kind of like baking the current settings or making adjustments on top of current adjustments - or make new adjustments relative to the current adjustments.
I understand the benefit of shooting camera raw and I like the adjustments you can make without effecting the photo itself. The one thing I can't get used to is the limiting workflow in raw that allows you to undo only one change. Being a long time user of Photoshop I'm spoiled by all the image changes I'm allowed to make in combination with one another and the ability to back out of all or some of them.
I'm I missing something in the raw workflow? I wasn't sure if this should be posted in the Photoshop, Bridge or Raw forum. If any of you know of a forum that discuss's this sort of stuff,
So I've had this problem for awhile, and thinking that everything would be repaired upon switching to an SSD and clean installing Adobe, my dang preferences REFUSE to save. I set them, restart, check, nothing. I've gone in and deleted my photoshop preference files hoping it would just create a new com.adobe.blah, but no, my program has a mind of its own.
I haven't noticed this problem within any other CC app I use, just Photoshop.It annoys me so much because I hate the application frame with a passion. It's an OCD thing.
I just tried to rotate an image, pressing "R" for the rotate tool, getting the compass rose over the image, and then rotated the image by dragging 90 degrees. So far so good. Then, I wanted to crop the image into a panorama proportion, by pressing "C" for crop tool - and voilá, the image jumps back into the original rotation, just like that. I have tried to press the Enter key after rotating, I have tried to save, I have tried to change to other tools in between, I have looked into the toolbar for clues but found none - I just can't understand what it is that I'm supposed to do to make the rotation stick.
I'll just add that I managed to solve this temporarily by selecting rotate 90 degrees from the menu and then cropping - why I can't do this visually by using the "R" command and dragging visually, then changing to the crop tool. It's just fortunate that there's often several ways to accomplish the same things in PS. So, I managed to work around it - but I'm still wondering why I couldn't make the rotation stick by using the method above. If I'd like to make a more arbitrary rotation then that seems like the way to do it - if it would stick.
How do you make objects in PS6 and PS7 not automatically hug or stick to walls?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm finding a really strange and inconsistent bug when managing my Layer Comps. I am dependent on Layer Comps, they're behaving inconsistently in CS6.
When manoeuvering between Layer Comps, the updates I'm making to save a Layer Comp and move on to another are SOMETIMES not working. I set a comp, move to another, go BACK to the original one and it's messed up.
I am using Photoshop Extended CS6 on a Mac with OS 10.7.4 and the latest driver for an Epson 7800 just downloaded from the Epson site. In the Print Settings dialogue "Page Setup" defaults to "Roll Paper - Banner" and any other selection such as sheet does not stick when saving a printing preset. Once selected, it appears to stay for one print, but returns to roll paper so that it needs to be reset with every print.

It says to put them into User Name/ Library/Application Support/ Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings...When I get to CameraRaw the ONLY folders in there are Camera Profiles & Lens Profiles. I have searched everywhere looking for a CameraRaw-Settings folder and cannot find one. I have latest version of Camera Raw installed and still no settings folder. I even attempted to find it by looking in camera raw where it has saved the custom settings I made as presets and it shows that they are saved but will not show me where. I am using CS5 specifically Photoshop v12.0.4 and Bridge. I have Lightroom 4. I have iMac OS 10.7.3...Do I need to reinstall Camera Raw and how do you do that? Will I then lose my presets that I made in CameraRaw?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got this huge project - a printed catalog - that involves hundreds of product photos, of which the originals are scattered all over the place in different directories, etc. Nobody knows where a photo might be hiding. However, luckily, this is an update of an earlier catalog of the same type, so most of the photos are already there. Unfortunately, many of them need to be "photoshopped" in some way, adding pigtail connectors in place of terminal blocks etc., which is fine.
But, when I try to use the edit bitmap function in DRAW, the photo always opens in a new copy of PhotoPaint, forcing me to then save it separately, adding a name instead of "Bitmap in..." which would be all the 100 or so photos that I will have to work on. I don't have any need to have the bitmap saved separately except that I need to have the various photos that I'm disecting in the same copy of PhotoPaint, so that means I have to jump though all these hoops.
Q: Is there a way to force the Edit Bitmap to open everything in the same copy of PhotoPaint? So that I can simply cut and paste pieces, etc.
Eventually I can get it to work but sometimes only after many (10-20) tries. Very frustrating since it is possible - just not reliable.
When I am in Capture (Visual Studio SE DVD ver 10) and go to Options - Video and Audio Capture Settings and try and select S Video (default is Composite), it seems to take but after clicking OK and the Change Field Order window pops up and does its thing, it frequently will not 'take'. I repeat numerous times until it does take so it is possible.
Any configuration file that holds the default settings for this so I can set S Video as the default instead of Composite. Then (I assume) the problem wouldn't matter.
I'm using ACA 2008 and recently had to have some things reconfigured on my computer by our IT guy because of a few problems. Because of that, I've had to fix a couple of things with my settings in ACA to get it back to what I had before.
One thing that changed that I can't seem to fix is a custom catalog for my tool pallet we have always used that wont come up with my standard ACA pallets when I start up ACA. I have to hit cntrl+4 to bring up the catalog library and from there I can see the one I want to use. I grab the eyedropper and drag it to the tool pallets and it works fine, but when I close out ACA and restart it's gone again.
How can I get it to stick permanently?
I cannot get the menubar variable to stick. everytime I start autocad I have to re-enter the command to have the menubar back. I am sure this is something stupid I am over looking.

User changes the Font type but it does not stick after re-opening another blank autocad drawing. I tried Updated the font, Set as Current profile, exported the profile, attempted acad to open the profile automatically with the /p command in the Shortcut Target with the same results.
I can verify that the profile from the “/p” is being opened properly but the custom settings/font do not stick.
As the topic says, I need to make 2 points in two different objects to stick to eachother, so for example when I rotate a line which is "connected" to a square object in one end, the line will rotate around that point.
Also, if I have lets say two square objects and I "connect" one of the corners of one square object to another corner of another square object, where the points are located exactly on the same location, I need to be able to rotate any of the square objects around the point which is connected to the other square.
I normally crop to ratio 4:3 (8x6) for printing,but just very recently the crop does not stick to it's ratio when reaching the outer borders.(especially if changing orientation from Landscape to portrait).If pulled It just keeps expanding to almost a square ratio before it stops.Obviously the padlock is locked and it is something that never used to happen.
View 37 Replies View RelatedIn Lightroom, when editing the pictures, in the Developing Module, I will adjust the colors and sharpening and then I used the brush to add more sharpening to a face or an object. When going to the Library Module to inspect the pictures the sharpening is not there. Even when I export the pictures the sharpening goes away.
So I went to people who teach lightroom and they were stumped. and showed them when toggling back in Library and Developing modules and they would see a sharpen image in the developing module and then a non-sharpen image in the library and export picture.
I have asked this question here before and everyone was nice to explain to me their theories, but many believe it's my exporting, but it has nothing to do with my exporting, other than that it takes like an hour and plus minutes to export about a 120 pictures, which I know it is not correct, but that does not bother me more so the sharpening.
P.S. Do you think I should just purchase Lightroom 5. I am using Lightroom 4.4, which I got literally last year.
I have a user preset I apply to import and its not very sticky, meaning it will work a few times but others it will not.
