We just upgraded to CS and when ever we search folders for .eps images they only show up as eps CS icons no matter how we save them (even in the thumbnail folder view). We are running Windows XP Professional.
i dl the trial i open it up and i open an image a PSD and nothing shows but a black screen the only time i see the picture is when i hold on the mouse but the soonest i let it go it goes back to black.
Just changed to Illustator CS and now when we save with Tiff preview (opaque) and the graphic is imported into Word on a Windows box there is no preview (just a blank box). The file prints correctly. The preview shows ok on Word on a Mac. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm using Windows 7. The previews were working now they just don't work, "preview not available". I see no check box in window 7 to turn that on or off, unlike in windows xp. I have tried turning on large thumbnails in windows explorer when opening files, older files will show up but most recent files just show the Corel Draw icon large.
Could this be some kind of auto update from Windows? Since I have no destination, I'm never lost.
Why can't Windows Explorer show thumbnail previews of DNG's on my Windows 8.1 64bit Pc. I assume is has something to do with not having the DNG codec. However, on Adobe's website it says their DNG codec only works on Windows 7.
for a while now, my photoshop tools wouldnt work. it was only the tools that involved "painting" like the brush tool and quick select. after reinstalling, they would work but suddenly they'd stop again. eventually i figured out that it was the pen for my wacom tablet. every time i used the pen, it would make the mouse not work untill i reinstalled the program. this means that a setting changes (pen pressure or something) when i use the pen and it doesnt change back when i use the mouse. i cant deturmine which setting changes.
Ive got Photoshop CS, and none of the hotkeys are working, according to the hotkey settings they're all there and should work.. but none of them do.. not even simple things that should work like cut and paste..
I send my designs to a commercial printing company. Usual case is, is that the pictures turn out too dark or too lite, and sometimes it is due to the fact that the CMYK colors are overaly saturated causing all these colors layer to overprint and make it come out too dark. On my screen I dont see those oversaturated colors, I see a picture that looks good on screen. When Im using flat color somewhere, I have a swatch book that I use to assign number to each color and so the results are always great. But you cant do that with pictures, with pictures you have no idea. I use a color picker and set it to 5 point average to measure color, but it really doesnt tell me much. How can I measure a whole picture and be able to tell if the output looks oversaturated or undersaturated or too lite or too dark?
After the latest patch installation, Photoshop CS5 ext. (12.1 x64 on windows7 64bit) don't save the files on the PDF format. The message: "the file is already open on other application"
My prints dont match what i am seeing on the screen when using CS3. I am using windows xp and printing on a epson 7800. I never had this problem before i started using CS3. I have calibrated my monitor.
I have the standard version of CS3 not the extended. I read a arctical that CS3 prints darker then what is on your screen. The solution if you have CS3 extended is to increase lightness just before printing, but what if you dont have the extended version, what do you do?
Im having issues with cs4. When i use a tool (paintbrush, eraser), it randomly applies it somewhere else. For instance when trying to paint precise lines while following and edge the brush will apply itself randomly somewhere else. It always happens when i release the mouse button and then press it to start using again. I could be painting a horizontal line, let off the mouse button, repress it and all of a sudden the brush paints a vertical line 3 inches away!
i just got photoshop CS and at the beggining all the filter options workedbut now they dont anymore when i want to make some wind i cant because the button is like gray(cant press it)......
The colors of pictures is much darker when working in photoshop than when I open it normally. And vice versa, I work on images inside photoshop, and I get the colors I want, but once I save it to bmp or jpg or anything else, all the colors are much lighter.
I'm having alot of issues with thumbnail previews in Finder ever since I updated to Mavericks. Basically, any TIF-files that include layer masks won't show a preview at all in Finder.
I just get the static TIF-file graphics, but no actual preview. I have enabled to maximise compatability in Photoshop CC, and all the files are either 16 or 18 bit files.
Mac OS 10.7.5. Photoshop CC.Everything is set accordingly: Yet I get only generic file icons. Can you find the only Photoshop CC file in this folder, all others are Photoshop CS6 files?
I've just worked on a large 16 bit image file in PS CC and saved it as a 4Gb .psb file and now I no longer see a preview in the OS or Bridge, just a PS icon. This is a major issue for me as I work with large files all the time and therefore have to save layered psb files on a daily basis. The lack of previews now with PS CC is more than an inconvenience. Â With CS6 I have psb previews ok. Â I tested two systems running Snow Leopard and latest Mountain Lion to no avail. I also already tried removing all caches, ran utilities to clean and repair permissions etc. Â Is this a bug in PS CC?
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, I already updated to Ver. 11.0.1 My problem is that when I open the filters, like "Unsharp Mask" the window that shows the filter previewdoesn't show anything, it remains blank. This is happening with all the filters that have previews. My OSis Windows XP SP3.
I'm manipulating hi res aerial imagery (100s of 300MB files) that is only an 'interim step' in a larger process. I'm using Bridge to view the results of this work. My question is, since Bridge creates its own thumbnail views and the next step doesn't use any previews, how can I turn off the "generating full res composite" part of the file/save step that seems to take an awful lot of time to do and I don't think its needed for this process. What do you think?
designing an image at 300 PPI and need to scale it down some how, so it can be viewed by the client.
Images designed at 300 PPI are often too large to fit on screen and therefore, the client can not view the overall design.
I usually change the image's resolution to 100 or 72 PPI and save the .psd file as a .jpg and then email them a copy. But with this current method, the artwork seems to come out a little fuzzy and distorted; so I then have to explain to the client, that the actual design does not appear as it is displayed in the preview.
My jpg thumbnails and previews look washed out in the folders of Windows explorer, but are correct and vivid when I open them in Photoshop. This only happens with files I edit, and has started since updating to the Creative Cloud CS6. How can I get the thumbnails to match - I am concerned about client impressions when seeing them on their systems. I have checked all of the export and color settings I can think of, but can't seem to get them accurate.
I have no previews for just PSD docs in the mac finder for a week or so now. I can see other types of doc previews. I run snow leopard on a mac book pro that is about 2 years old.
Oddly enough the trouble BEGan for me after running a normal maintenance script in ONYX (I clean the cache about once a week or so). Could be coincidence. I just installed the little "patch' from adobe but that does not work. I can see the previews in the com/4 view but in com/3, where I usually hang out, there is no preview and pressing the space bar for quick look is the same, with no preview.
I often make HDR images by exporting a bracket from lightroom into photoshop via right click>merge to HDR in photoshop. When the dialog comes up it is always a very low resolution preview. When I go to zoom in (cmd +) the resolution remains the same and I am zooming in on a pixelated image and the zoom is very limited.
 I am working from D3s files so there is plenty of resolution but it just doesn't show up in the preview. Is this simply the way it works or is there a way I can get a higher resolution preview. I'm not worried about rendering times either as I'm on a 8 core with 16gb or ram.
Having no previews when opening a file from Windows Explorer? I realise Adobe wants us to use Bridge but I'm sure I am not alone in finding this unstable and slow. Â Another forum recommends intalling Sagethumbs which is great for showing thumbails in Windows folders, and also shows really tiny thumbnails when opening a file in Detail view. But I really miss having the preview pane to see full size images when selecting a file to open in Detail view.
Vista won't show me a preview and Bridge only opens with one window. It's important for me to clean out my backup by making sure that I have the most recent graphic file stored (I have multiple copies of files backed up at different times). I can't do this easily because I can't see .psd previews in Vista, and I can only open Bridge once. Therefore, I can't compare files that are in different locations & on different hard drives next to each other. Does anyone have a solution for this? (btw, I don't think Bridge is that hot of a program -- it's not very flexible and all it does is crash.)
