When my system crashed I had to upgrade from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7. Trying to reinstall I found that CS2 is no longer supported.
After I jumped through the necessary hoops I was able to re-install CS2. It worked OK for a while, but now I find that the nested tools in the toolbox are unavailable.
The problem is that I can't get any of the tools in Photoshop Toolbox to work. Tools like Clone Stamp Tool, Healing Tool, Burn Tool, Dodge Tool, Sponge Tool, etc. The person that replied to this problem before advised me to open My Computer>Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Photoshop & then delete a certain file. It worked great but now I can't remember which file to delete.

One day, my Toolbox suddenly started showing "double tools". All of the tools are repeated twice.
I've played with all of the Toolbar setting, but I've been unable to get rid of this annoying problem!

I've recently updated all softwares and now that I go access my 3D it won't let me.
I moved my toolbox to the bottom of the screen and before I knew it, it was GONE! How do I get it back again??? Im running Photoshop 7.0 if that makes any difference. I really don't wanna reinstall Photoshop but do I have to do that?
View 2 Replies View Related I previously had a few CS5 apps installed. They were volume license versions of some sort available through the school I was working at. (I don't know the details of the installation — the school network guys did it for me.) In these apps, the Update command was also unavailable ... I sort of assumed it was something odd with the install (maybe the update manager was not included) so I downloaded and installed updates manually from Adobe.com.
I have since left the school and dumped the apps. I just picked up a personal copy of Photoshop CS6. I find that the "Updates" command is still unavailable, but this is a regular install so I am crying foul.
I found this page about disabling the update manager for CS5 and CS6. I checked and sure enough I had a copy of AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat with updates suppressed, as mentioned in the article. Must be left over from my previous CS5 install, as I sure have never touched that file myself. However, upon removing it, my "Updates" command is still not available.
Is there some other way that updates can be disabled that I have not found yet? Is there a way to launch the update manager outside of the application?
Suddenly I get the Message: Command "Batch" is currently unavailable. I have CS6 Creative Cloud single-app membership.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSuddenly when I select multiple images in Bridge, then go to Tools>Photoshop>Batch, I get the message "The command "Batch" is currently unavailable." Batch is also greyed out in Automate. This occurs when no other processes are happening. What could it be? Batch command has always worked fine in the past.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently thought it would be nice to generate some 'pencil sketch' filtered images for a project, but when I looked at an image (.psd) to manipulate, the option was grayed out. CS5 has been a great tool for me and I usually upgrade every other version release, so CS7 would be my next upgrade.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CS6 and noticed that I had an extremely reduced choice of file extensions at the moment I wanted to save my work. In fact, I wanted to save it in .tga, but the option disappeared from the list. The PSD file I want to save only has 4 layers, 3 of which use an alpha channel; the 4th being a plain black background.
And the weirdest thing is that when I create a new, empty file, I can save it as a .tga image, along with a lot of other extensions that disappeared for the other image. Like, I can't even save my first pic in BMP. I only can use PNG, JPG, CIN, IFF, TIFF, and 2 or 3 others. Oh and by the way, it's the x64 version. But it does the same thing with the x32 one. I tried already.
i must have changed somethin in the settings, and
most of the keyboard commands wont work now.
( bad commands; cntrl+N, cntrl+T, etc., all that require "cntrl" )
I cannot figure this out and am having trouble looking up an answer:
Sometimes when I have a file open in CS3, dropdown options are unavailable. for instance, I have a tiff open and the "texture" filter option (amongst others) is unavailable to click.
I'm working with an exported jpeg from SketchUp and no matter what layer I'm on, nor what mode I'm in, or what tool I choose...Free Transform and Transform seem to be forever greyed out.

When trying to run some actions, I get this error message in PS CS4:

I'm working in CS3. I have created a multi-layered image. Now, I want to go back to one layer and begin editing in vanishing point. But, when I'm in that layer, vanishing point is greyed out in the filters drop down. What's my problem and how do I get on the right track?

I am hopeful that somebody who is familiar with Photoshop can help me in my desparation. I've lost the Toolbox in Photoshop 5.0 and can't find it anywhere. Clicking Show/Hide Tools under the "Window" pull-down menu reveals nothing.
Is there a short-cut key to make it appear?
my toolbox has completely disappeared, and i have no idea how to get it back. This is on Photoshop 5.0, i'm currently using CS2 but it would still be useful to be able to use 5.0 aswell. And before you ask, clicking Windows > Show/Hide Tools doesn't work, and as far as i'm aware it's not off screen.

I'm trying to apply a custom gradient to my text in Photoshop CS5.5. I have watched tutorials and on all the ones I have seen there is an option below the gradient to add more points, colours etc to the gradients. However it is not available on my version.

I did this now just PS will not work. Under the window on performance it says "Graphics Hardware Acceleration unavailable upgrade video driver & possible video card". The only thing I can find in the hardware for video is Intel (R) G41 Express Chipset (Intel GMA 4500). I upgraded the driver and I still get a fuzzy screen with artifact everywhere. This is on a desktop computer with an LED monitor.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUp to 2 days ago I had ATI Catalyst 12.2 installed. I was able to check all the boxes in the Advanced Graphics Processor Settings dialog and they stayed set. Specifically, I had [ ] Use OpenCL set and Photoshop CS6 worked very well.
Because I need to know about the quality of newer drivers for my own product development, I upgraded my ATI driver suite to the current version - Catalyst 12.4.
Unfortunately, this caused new problems I hadn't had before - specifically a number of GPU-accelerated features didn't work, such as Oil Paint, which would appear to try to start then just exit a split second later. And with Catalyst 12.4 the [ ] Use OpenCL setting became unavailable (grayed-out).
With my own testing done, I decided to completely uninstall the ATI Catalyst 12.4 suite, and drop back to Catalyst 12.2.
This was a simple matter of uninstalling everything AMD then rebooting (with the Windows driver), then installing Catalyst 12.2. That went smoothly. However, now I still do not find the [ ] Use OpenCL box has become available again - it's grayed out:
there are no remnants from the 12.4 drivers left on my system (though there's a possibility I could have missed something), and everything from the 12.2 set installed successfully, so the question is this:
Did Photoshop sense something about the 12.4 driver set, then set some kind of permanent "No OpenCL" flag in its own configuration settings? Here's my system info with the 12.2 drivers installed. Note the "OpenCL: Unavailable" entry. URL....
Note that all my GPU-accelerated features seem to work... Oil Paint works and is plenty fast, the various Blur tools work nice and fast, I can do 3D rendering (though there's one small glitch I've had since Photoshop CS6 was released where occasionally it becomes unresponsive for a few seconds at a time while doing 3D work). But it does finally respond.
I see this freqeuently when I play my actions.
Right now all my adjustment layer actions wont work.
Then sometimes it works later. what is this?
