Photoshop :: CS 8.0 Freezing Up On Reading Text Global Resources
Dec 4, 2012
For some reason my Photoshop CS 8.0 that I have had for years started freezing up and I have uninstalled and reinstalled, looked on C drive for prefs (no file found), tried to delete any new fonts that were uploaded recently (unsure how to locate all of them) and still not able to open and view my files/designs that were save as PSD. I downloaded the CS6 for a free 30 day trial to see if it would open, and yes it opened. if I purchase the CS6 will it freeze up as well? I was unsure if I purchased another version of Photoshop if it would be a waste of money and not open.
I've been using the photoshop for a little bit, everything was fine, then like many others i've got it hanging on the "reading global text resources" line. However, i've found the explainations on the adobe site, and several other forums. However, i CANNOT find the file that its telling me to look for. Im currently running a Vista 64bit.
They've said to find it in application settings, however i think on my computer it is program settings, which i found but there is no folder for Photoshop Just Acrobat and Updater.
Well yesterday, I was using photoshop and everything was just fine but when I tried to open it today it began to freeze after the startup where it tells you what its loading...'Reading Text Global Resources' and i've looked around here in different topics and posts and i tried doing ALT+CTRL+SHIFT but that didnt work at all for me..
the whole thing just stops responding if i try to click into it and now its driving me crazy since I have a template due for a client of mine today!
My Photoshop had been freezing up constanly ever since I updated to the latest version Now everything is a nightmare! Â My System Info: Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1.2 20130522.r.24 2013/05/22:21:00:00) x64 Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
I am having in Photoshop CS2. I have had CS2 for over 2 years and have never had this problem. I am not able to open Photoshop CS2. I am getting a message that reads "Could not initialize Photoshop because a required resources text file is missing. It goes through a series of " could not load default contours, styles, custom shaphes because the file could not be found" before getting to the "initialize" window.
How text style creation works. It appears that I can create a text style in a drawing but it is not session related or Global and I can switch between to Styles within a drawing but not outside within a new drawing. How do you create a Text Style that is available at any time and in any drawing. Is this generaly a system setting that is controlled by an admin.
Basically, we get documents from other people and we convert those to our formats to do our work. We use a font called Simplex, but sometimes their document is filled with, like, Comic Sans or something stupid.
The match properties command doesn't seem to change font, just size and alignment. When I use the font properties dialog box, I can set simplex as the font, but when I make new text, it still matches their comic sans.
So two questions: How do I change the default font for the document so that all new text is the way I want it?
And is there a LISP routine which will find all text and change the font property and stuff the way I want it? For multi-line and single line text.
Also note, I've tried selecting all the text and editing properties, but font is not one of the properties I can change. To change font, I have to edit every piece of text one by one. And then ONLY multiline text has the properties to change font. I don't even know how to change the font of a single line text object.
I need to get the position and orientation of the first and the last character in a text frame art, that is, I need its matrix.There are a number of functions in the API that is supposed; here's a snippet from the file ATESuites.h  Return transformation matrix of this run.The matrix returned spesify the full transformation of the given run. You need to transform the origin by IGlyphRun::GetOrigins() and
concat with ITextFrame::GetMatrix() in order to get the location of the glyphs. ATEErr (*GetMatrix) ( GlyphRunRef glyphrun, ASRealMatrix* ret);  Hence, getting the matrix of the first character or glyph should look something like this:  AIErr VMGetFirstTextMatrix( AIArtHandle textArt, AIRealMatrix *matrix) {    ASRealMatrix frameMatrix, glyphMatrix;    ASRealPoint firstPoint;    try    { [code]....        But the coordinates, either returned in frameMatrix (tx and ty) or the firstPoint are obviously wrong. It appears that they an offset which is allmost constant. The x-values are approx 7664 points too large (give and take a few decimals), and the y-values are approx 7893 too large (also give and take a few decimals).
I used the BEDIT command (editor) on my block to modify the text size then save the block editor changes. Then use ATTSYNC to perform the changes on all existing blocks references to resize the texts, but after i complete the ATTSYNC command, the text in all the blocks disappear.
I am jumping 8 versions to 2012. I've located this command but it changes the all text strings that match? I tried naming the block but that didn't work.
Attached is a dynamic block of a smoke/c.o. detector. I have a few of these on a floor plan and at times the entire floor plan needs to be mirrored. I would like the text itself to mirror as well so I don't have to select each dynamic block and mirror it again to read correctly.
I have mirrtext set to 0. I have read that creating attributes will solve this problem however I have created attributes in the dynamic block and I still cannot get it to read correctly when mirrored.
I have the following code which isnt quite working, it reads a text file which has a list of Names of images and their bottom left coordinates i.e. name x y etc. I want it to check for a name equal to that input then in this case alert the user it is found, eventually I want it to load the tile but for the moment where am I going wrong, also the lisp wont close the file and I dont know why.

Just did a Photomerge of 25 shots.Note that over 100 GB (yes, you read that right, GIGAbytes) of scratch disk was required, not to mention easily filling my 16 GB RAM.
I have the following custom-built lightroom and photoshop machine:
-Windows 8 64-bit -8092 Mb 1600Mhz RAM -Intel i7 2600k Quadcore processor with 8 logical processors running at 4Ghz -Corsair SSD that stores Lightroom catalog. Â When I am creating 1:1 previews from a Nikon D800 (Huge 74Mb RAW files) Lightroom only uses about 25% of my CPU power (sometimes it tops out at around 50% for a second) and about 3.3GBs of RAM which results in relatively slow performance. Why isnt Lightroom using more resources? It barely is using the workhorse components I put in this machine. Ive added a screenshot from the performance monitor during the generation of 500+ 1:1 previews. Â Generating 500+ Full 14bit RAW files from the D800 could surely benefit from using the computers' full computing capabilities?
I just built a new editing system and am exporiting a new project and my cpu sits at 58-65% usage and gpu at 2-6%. Ram usage is about 8GB. The file is from dslr .MOV clips to H.264 MP4 export, 1080P 30FPS 20Mbps CBR. Total lenght 6min 20 sec with warp stabilizer, contrast, sharpening filter, and neat video applied.As far as I know all of those effects are CUDA accelerated.Media is on my Raid 0 Segregate 3TB x2 drive (about 350 Read/Write) Scratch is on 120gb ssd drive, OS and Adobe CC on 240GB SSD. Both ssd's 500 read/write. Exporting to either os drive or raid 0 has no difference. Export time is about 25 min. Â Are there any optimizations I need to do to speed things up or is this normal? I ran PPBM7 yesterday and sent in the info. I got the following results from the output file,
I/O time = 111 Sec 334.16 MB/S , h.264 Timeline = 208 Seconds, MPE gain 461/18=25.6 . Â Below are PC specs. Everything is stock, not overclocked yet. Â 4930k, gtx titan black , 32gb ram 1866 , 650watt 80gold psu, 240 ssd os, 120 Ssd scratch, 6tb raid 0 for media, win 8.1 , premeire CC.
I plan to reuse many images and vector arts I've created. As of now, if I want to reuse an image or vector, i have to oepn the file and copy/paste image vector. Is there a faster way than this? Is there a manager I do not know of?
I'd like to be able to queue up a set of processes using Inventor's task scheduler. Â Ideally I'd be able to queue it, leave, and have it done in the morning.
The process is this:
1. Â Check Inventor dwg files out from vault 2. Â migrate files to 2013 3. Â Run drawing resource transfer wizard 4. Â Check files back in 5. Â Export all files to AutoCAD dwg format
How can I queue step 3 to run through task scheduler? Â DRTW is not an option in the task scheduler. I'll be giving it the same settings to use every time.
I am attempting to create a series of drawing templates in Inventor 2013.
I have successfully created four unique Sheet Formats with Border, Title Blocks, Revision Table, and text populated by iProperties.
I have a bunch of text that I want to have inside a square on the first page of a series of drawings. I draw the square in sketch mode, Create Sheet Format, and the sketch ends up as a separate AutoCAD Block ("SheetTemplates_XXX_Sketch1") rather than in the Sheet Format. I can place the block on the new sheet, but it can be placed anywhere as the block floats.
Is there a way to have a template in photoshop cs3? So instead of designing multipages in one psd with each page being a layer folder, you could have one psd as a template for global elements and a psd for each web page - when you updated the template psd, then the global elements in all the other psd's would be updated. I know there is a way to link psd's when placed in Illustrator but I would like to do the same within Photoshop. If this is not possible, what techiques do you use to layout multiple webpages that use global elements and save slice sets for each page?
I have a PSD that somebody else created and I need to copy certain layers over to another PSD. The problem is when I do that the angle of shadows changes due to them keeping the "use global light" checkbox checked when they added the layer style.  Is there any way of copying those layers to a new PSD and keep the actual angle correct rather than it reverting the default 120° angle.
Using PS CS4, I noticed that obviously every layer in the image has its own Red, Green and Blue channel. But when I add an additional channel (Alpha channel), the contents there are not stored per layer, but "globally" i.e. one alpha channel for the entire image. Is that correct, or am I doing something wrong? Note that when I add a mask instead of an alpha channel, it does work as expected (each layer can have its own mask, just like they each have their own R, G, B channels).
I imported a photo, selected 3D from the Menu then selected "New Shape from Layer" then "Sphere" and my image is wrapped nicely around the sphere. But the image is too dark. If I try to use a brightness layer or levels to brighten it up, then I no longer have any control over 3D animation of this object. So next I investigate the various 3D lighting options. Point or Spot - too focused, Infinite leaves shadows which for this particular purpose I don't want. I just want a nice even light over the entire sphere. It seems like "Global" light would be the obvious choice but the choice is greyed out.... Any suggestions would be welcome. I find the "help" in Photoshop less than really useful. Help generally tells me that "you can use "X" to do "Y" but never gets around to telling you how to use "X".
I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4 and of course, there will always be a few "improvements" that will take time to get used to. But one thing that is really bugging me is entering metadata in both Photoshop and Bridge. When I export or import a template I keep getting an extra dialog box with 3 choices about replacing or appending existing metadata. I am REALLY getting tired of clicking this away. Does anybody know of someplace that I can set a global preference for this?
I am trying to figure out a way to globally replace/swap one color for another within a document. My document would have multiple layers made up of solid color fills, text layers (possibly multiple colors within the copy block), and even possibly the color put into a bitmap import. Â I am looking to better a workflow process in photoshop for updating website/interactive files. Sometimes this might work for updating global font color, layer effects(stroke/drop-shadows...), color layers, etc. The color swap that i am looking for is similar to if you were to update a swatch in InDesign. It would update everything using that specific color. Â how to update a file in this way
I use Photoshop CS3 and have multi layer PSD with which I am creating web graphics. The PSD is set up to export layer comps to files to produce a standardised set of graphics. The website has a standardised palette of 4 colours.  The vector and raster graphics within the PSD use these standard colours, however when we apply the colour scheme of a new client to the document, I have to go through the document and manually change all the colours.  I would like to find a way to globally and directly substitute one colour for another by effectively substituting one hex code for another, thus avoiding editing the layers one by one.
