I have installed Photoshop CC and dragged and dropped my third party filters into the programs filter folder, but when i open the program they are not showing in the filter drop down list. Also the Photoshop icon is not showing in the launchpad window, but all the other Adobe CC applications are there. I am running an iMac on Mountain Lion 10.8.4
View 1 RepliesI have hardly ever used filters for any of my work as I have preferred using Xara's native tools and effects to get what I wanted. But recently, I was inspired by some animation work which used backgrounds painted in Photoshop. They used a lot of textures which enhanced the look of the animation and so I thought I'd try to simulate it within Xara.
It works very well and I can export it as a PSD retaining the layers and Alpha channel. But here come my questions.
1. How can I remove the two Alien Skin demo plugins as I already have the full versions.
2. Why don't the native Photoshop plugins--Artistic, Sketch, etc.--seem to work?
In CS3 you could change something to make all filters act like smart filters, even though they won't. I found this worked very well, now I have CS4 and would like to do the same but can't remember what to do to make it work.

When I use the 'Open as' command, I get:
"Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document" (yet it's a JPG) - works ok if I just usen File >Open.

Strangley enought these messages then just disappear. Really stuggling to use this software due to the annoying pop up messages.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on a dormitory project and need to provide a required light and ventilation schedule. I have figured out how to create a schedule for each level, but I want to isolate only the Dormitories and the Kitchenette (weed out all the other rooms such as corridor, elevator, storage, toilets, showers, stairs, trash, electrical, etc.).
I tried using seclusion filters, but there are too many items to exclude and cannot fit them all into the 4 filter categories. I am trying to just get the rooms that begin with 'D' and 'K'. I tried providing the variable 'Begins With' for D and in the next line 'Begins With' K, but then nothing shows up.
Is there a way to provide information to the filter that would allow it to show only rooms beginning with D AND K? I cannot seem to get it to work. I have been playing around with separation values within one filter category (i.e. 'Begins With' D, K) but apparently you cannot add multiple variables within one of the filter items.
On just one image this would be a no brainer, I'd just use the paint brush or similar tool to wipe over a section I want covered and use the crop tool to get the image size and position I'm after. The thing is though, I'd like to do the same edit and crop to a series of photos to keep them all consistent and it's beyond me how to do that in PS5. I find tips on using scripts, batch processing or stacking images that seem to defy the English language and don't address the two simple little things I want to do to these images.
Any resource, that could accomplish what I'd like to think should be a simple task for such an expensive program?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am a newbie just start learning how to use AutoCAD in both 2D and 3D.
I have drawn a 3D polyline, and putting two circles with different diameters on both end, trying to loft it and create a horn-shaped like object.
For some reason, AutoCAD keeps complaining the path I selected is not valid, and so I can't do the loft operation. However, I have 'tested' the path with sweep function, and it works.
I have begun experimenting with bump-mapping procedures, and I decided to create a mask which would create the effect of a three-dimensional rectangular pyramid with a flat top. So far I have only created raised bump effects with the Gaussian Blur filter, but this tool apparently has it's limits in that it won't raise any shape by more than a quarter inch or so on the screen - after a solid black rectangle is blurred beyond 30 or so it loses it's impact on the colored background.
So I thought that maybe I could use the Blend tool, which can produce a longer gradient of white on black for a more gradual and longer bumping. Problem is that I only seem to have one layer of selection available, and I want that radial grade set for angles to operate on the area outside of what would be the flat area atop my pyramid, and I cannot get it to blend anywhere other than within my selected area. I sort of need to make Blend respond like the Bucket Fill tool to a defined area, but it seems that this would require a secondary selection border (sort of like making Blend act on a broad ring, but a rectangular one. ). I thought of simply placing a layer for the pyramid top over a rectangle with the Blend effect, but I think the gradient should begin outside of the top rectangle, not under its center. Also, I would need to merge these two layers (probably as another image unless GIMP allows the merging of cherry-picked layers). Anyway, what would be your procedure for producing this effect (any that works and produces a long, even grade from outside a flat area to the ground below)?
The last idea I mentioned (which I doubted would be satisfying anyway) would require me to merge the two layers, one for the flat pyramid top and another for the larger surrounding area which would set up the effect for grading to the ground below. It would be no biggie to do this, but here I discovered a particularly awful GIMP bug when I tried opening another image while using Radial. I have been working with GIMP for a couple of years as a practical tool for plotting project map locations with a few symbols which I've created using the same, but nothing requiring what I'm trying to do now. I have often had multiple images open, with one box listing my layers, and I have up until now been able to rely on it to report what layers I had to work with for the image I am currently working in. Now it's getting really crazy. I wanted to test the results of bumping white on black in different shapes to colored backgrounds, using different radial effects or different blurring effects, so I started with newly created images which I would compare. Working in the new images the Layers box displayed the new layers which I had created for each new image. For example, I bump-mapped a mask for a cone on a solid blue background, removed the layer visibility for the mask so that I could view the results. What I saw was NOT the effects of the mask on my blue background but the bump background showing what I had done with a rectangle mask in the image I was previously working on! The Layers box did not change, so no I could not have switched windows by accident. If the other window image window was still present (further unhappy experimentation revealed that it didn't have to be from the point after the new image window was spawned), it did not contain the cone effects nor any layers which I had just created. I have experienced this both on my work machine (Windows XP) and my home laptop (Linux).

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been working with autocad for approximately five months. I feel as though I have a pretty good grasp of the program's capabilities and commands, but I'm stumped. I've successfully imported a 3dm file to autocad 2012 and all of the geometry is present in autocad (it is not a 2d wireframe), but I am unable to perform boolean operations on it.
The model has also taken on a strange pale blue hugh, though the wirefram is lavender (unless I explode it and then unionize it several times over. Unfortunately this results in an issue with surface faces intersecting with one another, as well as a loss of geometry). The model cannot be converted to a surface nor a solid which means that it is not water-tight. This is not a model that I have created. I've been tasked by my employer to make several changes to it. Why (without exploding it) I cannot perform boolean operations.
I have an assembly as a template that was created by a previous employee. There are known variables that are controlled with an Excel spreadsheet.
What I am attempting to do is create a VB form that the user can input the known variables and then have the program open the template, perform the changes, and copy to the vault. Sounds easy enough. A few caveats:
If I store the template in the Vault (preferred), how do I perform a "Copy Design" with a VB6 program?If I store it on a hidden network drive, this prevents users from screwing it up, but then I have to open each indivual file and perform a "SaveAs". Also easy enough. But, since the previous employee linked each component of the assembly to the Excel file, I would need to perform a "Change Source" to the newly created Excel spreadsheet in each component. Not sure how that is done. I do have VB2010 Express, but just not as comfortable with it as VB6. (I know, get with the current .Net)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working with Inventor 2013 Professional. For some reason, after a crash last night, Inventor takes anywhere from five to twenty seconds to perform simple tasks. Things like Constraints, geometry projection, and saving are taking way too long. This is all of a sudden.
This is a simple project consisting of 10 simple parts.
For years I've been using various image editors, often in combination. That is, I do simple stuff as copy / paste and repositioning of elements in one editor and subsequently open the image in a more advanced editor for proper paintwork. Currently I'm using the Gimp for the latter. Color layers work brilliantly. However, I have big problems with my alpha channel--I've found no way to edit it within Gimp and I've found no way to import a revised version that I've edited in another image editor. There must be solutions to both challenges.
The editing I require is piece-of-cake in basic image editors--I simply want to move a transparent region a bit to the left. That should be a simple rectangle selection and then shoving it (mouse or arrow keys) to where I want it. Alternatively I could import my edited alpha channel image as I'm used to doing in other editors. Well, the Gimp will accept the image as a layer all right but I haven't succeeded in making the Gimp import my grayscale image as an alpha channel. I get a grayscale non-transparent layer instead.
So, I've got a perfectly good alpha channel that needs a minor tweak. It loads as intended in Gimp. How to perform basic editing of this alpha channel layer or tell me how to import a revised version and tell Gimp that this image should be interpreted as an alpha channel?
