I am using CS3 and Vista.
I am trying to use the presets for duotones.
I go Image | Mode | Duotone | Load...and get nothing. The Duotones folder is empty. A quick search of the internet suggests that the files have been moved. So I searched my pc for *.ado and got nothing. No files.
I have photoshop CS2 in Windows Vista Home Premium. At first it was working fine. Then I noticed that the 3D filter is absent. Still the rest of the program was working fine. Now when I go to open the CS2, it takes about 3 to 5 minutes to open, and when it finally does open, it causes everything (both photoshop and non-photoshop items) that is displayed on the monitor screen to be 'fuzzy', and the CS2 screen does not fit the monitor screen properly. Also, the 'Save-As' fly-out seems to have reverted to a primitive version. For example, there is no 'Save as JPEG' option pesent. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but there was no difference. My torment continues, no doubt I have lost a few strands of hair...

My installation of Elements 11 does not have any Presets available for the Smart Brush. How do I repair this? I am using Win7.

On tryng to open Premiere CC projects it would appear I am missing a substantial set of sequence presets and cannot open any projects. if I open a new project there are only a limited set available.
I get the following error message "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type".
Lens distortion removal folder is missing completely. Perhaps there is a way to download those presets separately?
View 5 Replies View Relatedhow can I make a duotone from multichannel pic.
I've got Grayscale pic with spot colour channel (pantone bla bla), black channel and couple of layers. Preview(although grayscale) shows spot colour (blueish). One layer is a woman(black channel only), second is her shadow (black channel only) which overprints-multiply the background which should be that spot colour. That background is not in layer, but in channel.
It would all work well, but I need to make a duotone to be able to save it as EPS, and not as DCS 2 as it is now. Reason for that is that I have to make a PDF and my composite driver(ppd) won't spool it to PDF. If I print separations(to PDF) it's all fine, but I need a composite image with spot colour background.

deleting watermarks from Lightroom 4. I had a bunch of watermarks that I had created in LR4 that was a result of trying to redo a previously created watermark (why Adobe don't allow you to overwrite I don't know) but instead of overwriting the currently selected watermark LR4 lets you create a new preset from the changes. These changes build up over time and you sometimes end up with missing or moved files. If these graphic files are missing then you may or may not have ran into my dilema where when you select the watermark to try and delete it, the dialog box just keeps disappearing and nothing you do seem to work. Don't dispear, here is a solution I've discovered that I couldn't find anywhere else.
1. Open LR4 (Not sure if this works with other versions)
2. Select the Print module (this seem to be the fastest, easiest way to access and edit watermarks)
3. Select the check box next to the watermark under the "Page" pane on the right (this will allow you to select and edit the individual watermarks)
4. select the dropdown menu and chose the watermark that you want to edit. The dialog bot will open but beware it will quickly vanish in a couple seconds so here is my solution (at least until Adobe fixes this problem). Grab hold of the dialog box before it closes and hold it for a few seconds, this will delay or stop it from closing instantaneously.
5. Select the dropdown menu within the dialog box and chose delete watermark option, confirm that you want to delete and voila!
My version of Photoshop Elements 9 does not have the option "duotone" in the Image - Mode tab. I've got some grayscale photos I'd like to convert to duotones, but Adobe's instructions all say to choose "duotone" from that tab ... but it's not available.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHave a question regarding setting up a file for printing 2-color images...Similar to an earlier thread, I am starting off with a CMYK file, which I've changedf to a grayscale file. However, this grayscale file is a layered photographic pattern, one layer has a crossstitch-like scanned-in pattern, another layer has a textured background pattern with little dots. I would like to convert this image to a 2 color image, where the different colored areas do not overlap(one color being the crossstitch pattern and the small dots, the other color the textured background). I've tried using the duotone function in photoshop, but keep on getting color blending of these two colors where they overlap. Is there any way using this duotone function to specify that the 2 colors don't overlap/overprint each other? I am planning to use 2 pms colors (7509 and 259 while I test out ways until I get my 2-color idea working).
I also tried doing spot channels, and even though this makes it easy to indicate which parts of the image are specifically one color or the other, the colors are flat colors, and I lose the texturing and "3-d" effect the grayscale pattern has right now.
Duotones cannot be saved to Lightroom. Why and when will this feature be added to LR?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen trying to print in Elements 11, after clicking "Print/Page Setup/Presets/Show Presets", the box freezes. Clicking Cancel or OK does not work. I then have to Force Quit Elements to clear it. Apple say that it is a problem with Elements. Using the same procedure in other applications, clicking Cancel or OK does work.

I STILL don't understand why there are TWO comminty forums for Lightroom;
I am running Vista x64 Ultimate on a QX6850 system with 8GB of RAM. I also have 2x XFX8800GT graphics cards running in SLi with the latest Nvidia drivers (181.20). Dxdiag testing provides no errors.
The GPU support features in CS4 x64 (and x32) is greyed out with the text wording of no support in Photoshop standard. Based on some of the threads posted here, I tried enabling or disabling some settings in the Nvidia control panel, but the only one that seem to enable the GPU support is to deactivate SLi completely (which sort of defeats the purpose in 3D graphics).
Does CS4 support an SLi setup? If not, will there be any difference in performance with SLi disabled and using the CS4 GPU support vs the other way around?
Service Pack 1 for Vista is available. I just installed it. Other than it reset the native resolution on my main monitor, it went without a hitch.
Recently, it seems, that Vista has been lamb-basted (what does that actually mean) as a nasty OS. It is not, I have been using Vista Ultimate 32/64 without incident. SP1 is no larger than SP1 for XP (in ratio to installation size).
Any one who says that you should choose XP over Vista for a new computer installation is nuts.
Vista is a fine OS, having used it for the last 10 months I can confirm that is rock stable. I now use the 64 bit version exclusively, it has matured very quickly and is a great way to run a system.
Under Vista Ultimate I cannot get Photoshop CS3 Extended to run, it will open up and then just sit......Adobe Bridge CS3 2.0.0975 opens and works just fine. So does Lightroom 1.41.
I even tried opening PS from these programs, but just the same.
I then installed Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 and that works perfect too.
I have tried removing and reinstalling, repaired and updated but it makes no difference. It will install and also do the repair just fine.
Changing the compatible mode and appearance to Windows Classic (from Aero) makes no difference. I am the only user and administrator.
Has anyone with basically this type of system been able to get Photoshop CS3 Extended (after having these problems) up and running?

A few days ago I bought a new PC with Vista (MEDION® AKOYA® P36830
Authentieke Windows® Vista® Home Premium, AMD Phenom X4 9500 Quad Core (2,2 GHz),
NVIDIA® GeForce 9600GT, 4 GB DDR2 RAM, 500 GB Hard Disk).
Since I will use this PC for my graphical work I tried to install a trial version of Photoshop CS3.
But... I can't even install the program on the PC !
The setup starts but nothing happens anymore.
In the Task Manager I can see that the process is running but that is all.
I've tried to change the priority of the process to higher and lower with it wont install.
what more can I do to get PS CS3 working before I buy the complete package ?
I've installed Vista 64 Business on a AMD AM2+ platform with a Athlon Dual Core CPU (BE 5000). When installing CS3 Photoshop everything seems to be fine, no error messages during the install.
I try to start Photoshop...it won't open. The Photoshop gray screen comes up with the menu at top, but then it just sits there. Once I got the window with the serial number input, but after entering the number it stopped as well. The only way to close Photoshop is with the Task Manager.
I've tried different installations: Photoshop on a new Vista installation without having any other programs installed (no FW or AV), on a installation with different other applications running and so on. Everytime I get the same result: gray screen and stop!
I have been using this combination successfully for over a month when it changed. I tried to open CS4 normally and got the error message "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked. Use the Properties command in the Windows explorer to unlock the file". This error message is then followed by : "could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. Use the Properties command in the Windows explorer to unlock the file".
So I can't open Photoshop -
I am using PhotoShop CS3 Extended along with MS Vista. for some reason when I open more then one image or file at a time, I recieve a message saying Photoshop has stopped working and then it closes out of Photoshop.
I did not have this issue when I used CS3 on XP.
I've just installed a fresh copy of Windows Vista Business last night. After installing Photoshop CS3 however, I noticed a very serious lag issue. I looked into the problem a bit on google and this forum but did not reach a solution.
In general, the issues are as follows:
1. Opening and closing even the smallest of files takes a ridiculous amount of time.
2. Moving the mouse cursor over the toolbar or menubar requires up to 3 seconds before a response is received.
3. Right click menu requires up to 3 seconds to appear
4. Application of any tools shows a noticeable delay of action.
The most common suggestion is the "Network Printer" solution, which was not helpful to everyone including me. I also tried to change the performance settings and the cache level according to the optimization guide on this site, that also did not solve the problem.
I tried to run the software in XP pro SP2 compatibility mode, did not make a difference in performance. Disabling all the graphic options for Vista such as Aero Experience also was useless.
I'm just wondering as to whether we ever did reach a solution to resolve the issue or is this problem still left hanging?
CS3 ran fine before my upgrade from XP Pro SP2, I do not believe my hardware specs have anything to do with the lag issue. Yet, I'll leave it below just in case you guys need it as reference...

I have been running Photoshop CS Version 8.0 under Vista for 5 months when all of a sudden I cannot finishing loading Photoshop. It hangs after displaying the message "Reading Text Global Resources...done". I uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop in another directory but it still hangs. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be the problem? Is it a Vista problem or is it an environmental problem? I have 4 gig of memory and 200 gig of free disk space. In a nutshell I cannot get Photoshop to finishing loading.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just bought Photoshop CS2 (the Polish version) on the internet. I am trying to install it on my HP Pavilion dv7-1080ew laptop. I can't get past the end part of the installation process, though. When it gets to registering (the very last part of installing), it starts rolling back the changes. I turned off my AV, tried running it as administrator, in compatibility mode for XP... still doesn't work. Is anyone else having this problem?
