I'm try new liquify in Photoshop CS6 and see very bad previews. Here is liquify preview in accelerated Liquify. Note the artifacts.Here is accelerated preview (Alt pressed pressed at startup). All clean.
I also tried nVidia videocards. All ok. Problem appears only on workstation with AMD card. I try two drivers 12.4 and 12.2 - same results. OpenCL is on.
Liquify tool messed up. When I try to use the tool it doesn't show a preview of what I am doing. When I click ok it applies the liquification mess I did blindly.
View 12 Replies View RelatedWhen I used to use the liquify filter, I was able to see each move/drag as I made it. Now it doesn't show any change until I click 'OK' and only then can I see the result of each 'drag'... So I am sort of having to guess, more or less, where the section I am altering/dragging will end up... Very difficult.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I activate liquify, there is no feedback in the editor/preview window. The blue OK button blinks as if its refeshing... but nothing ever happens---even if I wait for several minutes and even if its a simple lo res file. If I click OK, the effect is applied to the original image.
I have read other posts and tried deactivating "use graphics processor" but no change.
I have a 2010 12core macpro and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
I cannot seem to find info on ATI mac drivers--assuming there is a needed update. But from what i understand, graphics drivers are included in the OSX installation and updates.
I've searched around for an answer to this, but a question for the same problem doesn't seem to have been asked anywhere that I've found, so I hope someone here might know.
I am running CS on Windows XP. I previously used the Liquify filter on a large picture with no problems. Now I want to do a new one, but the preview of Liquify won't work - the picture comes up, but I can't see the real-time changes. When I hit OK the changes show up on the picture, but since I couldn't see what I was doing, they're not what I want.
I have found where someone has had this problem, but it seems like they always had it and was never able to see the preview, which isn't the case here. I have tried updating my video driver, like someone advised in that case, but it did nothing. I made no changes to the computer's hardware since it last worked (May). I have also tried using a small file to see if it was the size of the file, but the preview didn't work then either.
I have an external drive where my file resides, with 74.5 GB free. 12.5 GB is free on my internal HD, which is where Photoshop is installed. 931 MB RAM. Since it worked before, I'm hoping it's something like clearing up more memory space on my HD.
A feature notably absent from the Oil Paint filter is any way to temporarily disable the effect (e.g., not preview it).I happen to like using Oil Paint to make refllections in the surface of water smoother and more "liquid" (which involves turning off the "Shine"), and it would really be nice if I could easily gauge the amount of the effect easily by blinking back and forth between original and processed image with a quick "disable preview" functionality.
With most standard filters, one can either uncheck a [ ] Preview box, and/or click the mouse button down on the image to temporarily show what the image is like without the effect.Yes, I know I can turn the Stylization down to 0.1 and see how a very minimal amount of the effect can be applied. And I can look at the original image in Photoshop proper, but of course that can't be zoomed while the Oil Paint filter is active.
Also, the zooming / panning seems kind of stiffly implemented.In summary, the more or less standard and expected filter features I'd like to see added to this (new class of) GPU-accelerated filters are:Preview/No Preview capability. It doesn't have to update Photoshop, just the preview display in the filter itself. I suggest a [ ] Preview checkbox and/or an on-mouse-click temporary effect disable.
Modal click and drag Zooming vs. Panning - i.e., based on a Zoom or Pan function selected (e.g., via an icon along the left) vs. having to hold modifier keys down. I personally would want it set to Zoom by default, not Pan. Since the filter has scroll bars (a Good Thing), I would have thought Zoom would have been a better default as it is. I have implemented these things in my own GPU-accelerated plug-ins, so I know that all the infrastructure Adobe needs to support them is already in there. These changes are controls only and should be trivial to implement.
I recently bought a Nikon D7100. I took some test shots and imported the images to Lightroom 4.4, then generated 1:1 previews for all the images.
Previews zoomed to 1:1 in Library Mode are noticeably soft. The image below is a screen shot of the Library preview:
Moving to Develop View produces a higher-resolution 1:1 preview. The image below is a screen shot of the Develop preview:
Look at the bricks and window screens to see the difference.
This difference occurs immediately after import (with a User Preset applied during import). Once any Develop work is done, the Library preview updates and displays at full resolution.
This problem makes doing initial editing/selection of images time consuming, because I can't determine the sharpness/quality of imported images until I've done some kind of Develop adjustment on each image.
I'm trying to edit a set of titles made in Premiere in After Effects, and after I import the file (as a Premiere file) then load the sequence into the timeline; the preview is just a black screen throughout the entire preview. The titles never show up.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHave had 64-bit version running for 18 months or so on Windows 7 including Liquify Filter. After a recent Hard-disk crash and copied over files to new disk, it is no longer visible as an option on the menu list. (Ctrl-Shft-X does not work either). The file liquify.8bf is showing in my directory in the same filters directory as Lens Correction.8BF - which IS showing in the filters list.
PS: The menu option is not greyed out - it is not there any more.
Note: I tried renaming the file and renaming it back again, which is why it has a created date of today. The last accessed date of 2nd July was probably the last time it was used before or at the time of the crash - not sure exactly.
Is there a way to sort this problem out without a re-install. Or a good way to re-install without losing preferences - screen layouts etc.
I've read, in a Creative Pro, article that if u apply liquify to a layer and when u click ok on the window to apply the effects holding down the Shift key it saves the mesh in a temporary directory (for win user: ctemp --> i have it). And then if u want re-apply the same mesh just shift+click on filter-->liquify...but it doesn't work in ps7!! (the article in creative pro is for ps6)
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I use liquify, instead of showing the real time distortion it seems to put a square copy of about the same size as my brush of another portion of the layer. It's as if it is mirroring from the middle of the y-axis if that makes sense. It does distort but I have to hit invert (or other function buttons) to get it to show up and get the copied artifacts to dissapear.

I would probably use the liquify option for this, correct? I would liquify the box on it's left side and right side, but I will not include the liquify option on the corners.
But my question is, when do I exactly do this? Is this a part of slicing, or is it done at anytime?
Also, Would I just make this box a certain size, add my footer, then liquify? Or do I extend to box to the bottom of my layout in PS? Though if I did that, I'd have no footer, correct?
The outcome I'm looking for is a the main box on my site to extend past the page that you see in PS (so you'd have to scroll down in your browser, then at the bottom,
Im doing an A1 image for uni at 200dpi and i need to use the liquify filter, but the brush size only goes up to 600 which is way too small, i need it 3 or 4 times that, is there a way to increase the size, or is there another plugins that does a 'pucker' effect?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been having liquify problems on 2 different computers. On a PII 400mhz it doesn't update the image in real time when distorting. I have to hit invert to make the image distorted. On a 2.0ghz P4 it resets the moment you push the pen down on the image or left click.

Made quite a long action with around 5 or so liquify distortions. When I got to run the action, it loads the liquify screen but then just stops and waits until I manually do some work and press enter or cancel. Pressing cancel brings me back to the canvas and the action stops.
Is there anyway I can force or otherwise PS to remember what I did during my edits from the liquified screen? Is this what the 'save mesh' command is for within the liquify tool?
I am using MacBook (late 2008) OS X 10.9.2 and recently upgraded to Lightroom 5.3 from Lightroom 4. After a while, some photo started to show exclamation mark at the right hand corner of the photo (*.CR2 raw files in NAS) in grid view. When I click on the exclamation mark, it shows a dialog with following message; "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo". So, I moved previews.lrdata, which is about 9GB, to the trash and restarted the Lightroom 5, expecting Lightroom 5 to create a new previews.lrdata. However, it won't create any preview at all.

I have windows 7 64bit, , Dell Precision Covet, 16GB Ram 3.2 GHZ Intel Core i7.My graphics card is NVIDIA Quattro K400M, latest drivers dated 6/21/2013. My windows experience score is 7.6, my machine is state of the art, highest Dell Precision available.
Now that we can eliminate my hardware as the problem, or my drivers as a problem, I would like to report, as many others have, that Photoshop crashes on applying Liquify. I just bought a year subscription to cloud, and the very first thing I tried to do with my photo causes a repeated crash.

I'm trying to use the Liquify filter and the Liquify screen is too big. I can't reach the "Show Backdrop" option at the bottom. What do I do? I'm trying to work through a tutorial that requires that.
On a related note, how to make one thing in the shape of another? Say I want to make a mouse in the shape of a Tyranosaurus. How would I do that? That's similar to what I'm trying to do here.

VISTA 64 bit - 8 GBs RAM
My files are 39 MP. When loading into liquify about 2/3 of the way through it starts tiling while presumably the system accesses the scratch disk or page file. Once loaded into liquify, you can only do one or two small mods at a time before the system goes back into swap mode (presumably).
I've tried allocating less memory to make more room for the plug in, and of course max memory. Nothing helps.
I've tested the different memory settings starting PS over each time and the sytem itself has most the RAM available.

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhy Liquify tools work well for me in Elements, but not in Photoshop7.0 ?
Whenever I click and drag the cursor the image is either "erased", or there are square copies of other parts of the picture. If I then click on OK, the process seems to work, but clearly it's not accurate.

The Photoshop CS liquify tool is different from the Photoshop 7 liquify tool, in that it's extremely touchy. Changing the brush pressure (like in Photoshop 7) does not tone down the effect for Photoshop CS. I can not even begin to approach the precision I had with Photoshop 7, while using CS.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to make the cursor in the liquify tool be a little thinner and loose the cross hairs? I am having accuracy issues and if I could see more of what I am moving it would work. I an using and Intous 3 tablet but also have the same issue with the mouse.
I have tried zooming in but that does not seem to work when trying to adjust very small areas. If the cursor cannot be changed, any tips or tricks?
Also the size adjustment for the cursor is does not appear to be linear and increases or decreases in size in very large jumps especially when using the slider but also with the [ and ] keys.
I have two problems with my Photoshop CS3.
