Every time that I start (boot, turn on) my computer, Photoshop 7.0 starts automatically, increasing considerably the machine's boot time. Photoshop IS NOT listed in the taskbar's start menu / programs/ startup. I wonder if there is a place in the registry (win98 SE) where I can de-activate that, or, maybe, somewhere whithin Photoshop some option to able/disable automatic startup.
How do I disable that WITHOUT uninstalling Photoshop?
Even when I only want to check mail, the import screen always comes on and has to be x'ed out. (It is an update version from 3 to 5). In program properties there is no appropriate tick I can remove to stop it.
I have photoshop cs4 and I cannot find the Auto smart fix, auto levels, and auto contrast nor the adjustment for each that I had with photoshop elements.
I was using these tool on a lot of images, because they often seemed to vastly improve them, making the colors pop on otherwise somewhat dull ones, and getting rid of unwanted color casts..
Later though I noticed that it is often at the cost of burning out hightlights in some areas beyond salvation.I also find shadow /highlight sometimes does this also.
Then I tried to protect some small areas with a mask before proceeding, but it seems that I can't find information on just painting a mask, but only videos with much more complex adjustment such as the Russel Crow or Lynda ones with maintaing hair detail while superimposing images, which is way beyond what I need in these cases.
If I try the wand to select and inverse I get unnatural looking divisions. Is it a matter of feathering to the right extent?
I have just moved from 7.0 to CS3 (and PC to Mac) and am currently trying to get to grips with the new features! Once which I love is the auto-align and auto-blend feature(s). My question is, is there any way to control how these features work? I have seen on some web sites people talk about 'fuzziness' sliders where you can control that if an object (pixels) appear in X% of the photos they should/shouldn't be included in the final image but I cannot find these.
My intention is to use these features to take photos of monuments and have the people who are moving about removed from the final image (I guess it's the auto-align that would do this.) I tried a test and took a number of photos at home but I kept moving one object around (a pen.) The pen appears in all the images but in a different location so it always appears in the final image. When I tried auto-align with a stack that included one image without the pen, the pen was removed from the final image. Given the first scenario (i.e. the object is in all the images but in a different location) is there any way of automatically removing it using auto-align or would this have to be a manual process? In the real world, it would be possible to take a photo of a monument with people in different locations but it would be much harder (or take a long time) to take one where at least one person was not in all the photos (there's always someone loitering.)
Yes, I'm probably the only person on the planet that wants this, but I liked how the Auto Tone auto adjusted the Exposure slider (ONLY!) and left all the other sliders at zero in the Lightroom 4 beta.
Is there a way to write a preset that returns that behavior?
My photoshop 5.5 in XP hang at startup using my login. If I use the administrator to login, it can startup normally. My account is also in administrator group. I have tried removing the pref file and ini file but no use.
After Adobe Creative Cloud installed Photoshop CC via the root account, see:
[URL]
The Adobe Photoshop CC 14.1.1 (14.1.1.415) crashes immediately on startup under OS X 10.8.5 unless I am running logged into the root account. This happens when I try to run Adobe Creative Cloud.app as a standard user or as a user with admin privileges.
In other words, the only way I am able to run the Adobe Photoshop CC application is if I take the dangerious option of enablign the root account, logging into it and then directly running the application.
how I can run Adobe Photoshop CC without having to both enable and login to the root account.
I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 SP1 yesterday. Reinstalled CS5.5 Master Collection and updated through AAM. I can open Photoshop, but if I open a file, or try to create a new file, it crashes immediately, and this is the error info:
Running Windows 7 64 bit, has been fine up until a few days ago after I had a virus. I have uninstalled, used the photoshop clean up tool and reinstalled, still the same problem. CS4 is working fine but I can't get CS5 to work, it crashes on start up with the following details.

I've just applied the latest update, but am experiencing very slow image loading times between LR 4.1 and CS6 Extended edition. I am using an iMac 27 2.8Ghz with 8Gig of System Ram, over 300Gig of HDD free space.
Upon selecting edit-in CS6 with an image in LR 4.1, CS6 starts up with a long splash screen, loads, then I get a spinning grey circle, then CS6 loads on the desktop, then I get a colored spinning circle, before my image finally appears.
I have performance set to an external scratch disk witih 624G of free space, 5644 MB of memory usage at 74%, HS at 30 CL at 7 CTS at 1028K
I have CS5 still installed and it's load times are about twice as fast as CS 6
Know it's old, but have been using Photoshop CS 8.0 on office Mac Pro and home iMac for years with no problems. OSX is 10.5.8 Leopard. Still works fine on Mac Pro, but has just started crashing at startup on iMac for no apparent reason. Graphic layout comes up and then shuts down. Reinstalled the application with same result.
When I launch PS CS6, I see the splash screen, and then the workspace, and then the program immediately crashes. I have verified that this is happening with all user accounts. OS is 10.7.5, PS version is 13.0.4. All of the other programs in the Production suite launch without a problem. Here is the crash report:

This message keeps appearing when I start Photoshop CC on my MAC. I don't see a Photoshop installer anywhere.One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop.
I have just installed Photoshop CS6 trial and it crashes very often at startup (with windows error reporting message). I disabled plugins, GPU but no luck.What can i do next? (Ps CS5.1 worked fine)
I noticed the new photoshop cc starts very slow. After it is startet I have much harddisk access for approx. 30 seconds. In the CS6-version I don't noticed a problem like this.
Using Vista 64-bit, installed PS CS4 the other day. I have been using the 64 bit version fine with no problems. However, I downloaded a plugin that only works in the 32-bit version, so I tried to launch the 32-bit version from the start menu, and the splash screen comes up for a few seconds, then an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working". The splash screen is stuck on "Building TWAIN menu items..." This also happens when I try to start the program from the photoshop.exe in Program Files (x86) folder.
I installed it updated it and it still crashes. I have a feeling its my videocard but im not sure what and why. My videocard is updated and the reason i believe its my videocard is that when i pull up After Effect "sniffer_GPU.exe" crashes. I know its a different program but any graphical CS4 program crashes.
I'm running CS on a XP Pro SP2 PC, and have been running it since 2004 with no problems until last fall.
For no reason I can figure out it stopped starting up. No new software, no viruses, I checked. I would get just a grey window with no credits and eventually I'd hit ctrl+alt+del and see that the program wasn't responding.
I've uninstalled it completely, having to reactivate it upon re-install. I've removed my preferences. I've manually uninstalled it and re-installed it.
Now it runs, but after clicking the icon it takes over 2min 15 sec before I even see the credits window. then several seconds later it's up and running.
I just bought elements 10 and it wont start; its crashing trying to open editor...I haven't had a chance to use it yet. It shows it's starting and then its not responsive. Now the program is completely unresponsive and not opening at all.
Why do I have to keep going to preferences to reset every time I open CS6. Plus a made a action and saved it and now it is not there? is this a way to get use to use CC?
I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS3 from disc. Everything looks like it installs smoothly, but when I try to launch PS, it just hangs with a grey background and finallly says "not responding". I've tried to hold down ctrl-alt-shift to get the preferences menu, but nothing ever pops up. I also looked in AppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS3Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings but there are no files located in this dir.
I'm on Photoshop CS6 13.1.2 on a mid 2010 MacPro running OS/X 10.8.3. Everytime I start up Photoshop it also opens up a .psb image file which was editing some time ago. I don't want it opening on startup. I have tried:
1. Closing the tab
2. File/Close and then exiting Photoshop and starting up again. The file sill loads.
3. Command-Option-Shift on startup to reset Photoshop. The file stil loads.
How do I stop this file from loading automatically on startup?
I just have a quick question. Is the solid background at startup permanent in CS6 or can I change that to transparent so that I can see my other windows?
I usually flip between photoshop and web browsers for spreadsheets since I work at a web company, and it'll be so much easier to get where I need to when I can see my other windows in view.
I have been having an issue with an old file automatically opening everytime I startup Photoshop. This has been happening since Photoshop crashed while working with this file over a week ago. I have trashed the preferences and do not know where to go from here
Windows did do an update. The 32 bit version runs fine and yesterday I had no issues with anything. I guess I am asking if the Windows update could have killed it. I have removed and reinstalled. I also pulled all my filters.
I have an image that loads every time I startup Photoshop CS6. I delete it and work on other images then quit. When I restart the same image opens upon startup even though I have not worked on it and I have deleted it. How do I stop this from happening?
