In Bridge, I have a portrait orientation shot that I want marked, and I hit "8" for the green label and it changes the orientation to landscape, every time! Huh? CS2 never did that...
Can someone tell me the name of these accent, swirly things? I am looking at using them in a design and want to find some custom shapes that look like these or a font that has them.
I'm making a flash movie and I wanted to have a cookie fall into a glass of milk. I know that sounds sorta weird but its just a preview for some stuff.
Anyways I tried looking for a way to do it in flash and was unsucessful, if anyone knows a way to do it in flash that would be my prefference as I dont use Photoshop too often. However I could do it in photoshop and import it into my movie.
how to make something slightly trancelucent or even just make me a glass of milk that'd be great.
i've been using PS for ages now while i was making a new sig just i tried to write some words onto it but its not letting me write at all, even when i make a new layer nothing comes up,
I'm currently running Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Macromedia Dreamweaver MX (version 6). I want to install CS3 (full suite). Is there anything I should know before I make the upgrade? Can I install CS3 without first removing my dated versions of Dreamweaver and Photoshop?
How do I backup all of my brushes and save all of my presets and custom settings? I want to be sure that the new version of Photoshop will run all of my custom settings.
With installing CS3, will any of my Dreamweaver settings be overwritten? Will the new Dreameaver maintain my defined sites and preferences?
what i would like to do is to export each window, to separate files, with the white parts cropped. i can do it manually by using the magic wand on the white area in between, then inversing the selection. that way all the windows are selected perfectly. but to save each one as a separate file is a nuisance.
by the way the purpose of this task is to get a comic i have scanned to an ipod for viewing. i can do the cropping/resizing afterwards no troubles, it's just getting the individual 'windows' as separate files.
, theres only the layers on the menu how do i get those missing things back up?. Also, how do i re-attach it to the right side of photoshop where it starts out, no i can move it around...
Got one of those Graphics Tablets to draw with and would like some ideas of projects I could do in Photoshop using it. I'm guessing a lot of you use graphic tablets (like Wacom) in your work.
I just fool around in Photoshop, but would like to have some kind of goal instead of just minor edits and scribbling. Any ideas? What do you guys do with your tablet in PS?
how to take things from one image and place it other.
In the tutorial the guy took himself out of his his everyday photos and placed himself in photos with sceneries and people from other countries and called it his digital vacation.
Unlike most of these cheesy tutorials all of his looked like he was really there in these scenes even placed in groups of people it looked real.
I didn't even think about it then but I'd like to do some of that with pictures I have but can't for the life of me find a good tutorial on how to do it. There's so many websites anymore and most of them are just for Adsense with 100's of links.
I am trying to print things out from illustrator, but it wont print anything black! it prints colour and everything fine, but what is ment to be black comes out grey. there is nothing wrong with the printer as it prints out fine from other programmes!
When I use the art history brush at a very small size, it acts very weird. As soon as I click in the document, a bunch of snake like things appear all over. Like a bunch of little worms spreading all over the page. I've trashed my prefs, I've reset my tool, I've tried different brushes, I've checked scattering, noise, etc. in my brush settings, I've checked my blend modes, pretty everything I can think of doing, and they are still doing it.
How do you get the lines an easy way? I was wracking my brain and I just couldnt figure it out. I tried doing clouds, and making the lightning type thing then using satin for some shading etc... But it doesnt look really lasery, and i had to reduce the size alot.
i have installed photoshop cs6 on my computer and have this problem... usually when im resizing and transforming things, either the canvas goes blank (black) or outside the canvas in the photoshop window get pixelated (the pixel grid shows up) and it is glitchy.[URL]...
Every time I try to use the magic wand tool to erase things from a picture the program says there is a problem either look online for a solution or close the program and I choose to look online but it just closes the program down completely. I had not been having any trouble at all and it just immediately started doing this and I had been using the very same tools as I am trying to use now. I am extremely frustrated and I even deactivated the program, uninstalled it, and then reinstalled thinking this would fix it.
If I go full screen with an image and come back to windowed view the top menu bar that contains the hand, view,rotate, arrange documents and screen mode items is lost and replaced with that part of the full screen image that was in that location. There is no way of recovering the menu bar, which is still invisibly active, unless CS4 is restarted.
Otherwise CS4 is not working too bad except for the trailing images following window movements, jerky rotate and the fact that Topaz adjust throws out of memory messages unless Photoshop memory is reduced to 700Mb.

I've been adding English text to an Italian comic. This involves whiting out the original text and then inserting new (translated) text.
I keep encountering the same problem every time I alter a few pages. Namely, the font changes slightly. It does this without my making any changes to the character settings whatsoever. The only way I can correct the problem is to close the program and reopen it. Or, if that fails, which it often does, restart my pc. My OS is Windows XP Pro, by the way.
To illustrate what's happening, I've posted two comic pages. The first shows the font as it should be, the second as it shouldn't. Note the difference in the letter I.
I've been playing around with PS for over 18 months and I've never had this happen. My cursor changed to cross hairs and will not change back. Even when I pick a brush that should be round like the Clone Stamp Tool, Eraser, Healing brush etc. I thought maybe my Preferences got corrupted and checked there but nada.
I've never had this before, but when it happens it refreshes everything every time i interact with photoshop, which makes it very annoying. I made a new canvas, and the suddenly with every brush stroke or click of a button or whatever, the "new document" window pops up with most of its controls missing for a split second, and any drop down menus i recently used quickly appear.
Then the screen all refereshes and it goes away. This happens quickly. I managed to grab a screen shot when it did it though, showing a distorted menu appear quickly. I'm guessing its my video drivers, right?
I mean, its not a huge problem because a simple restart of photoshop sorted it out, and ive never had it happen before, but io thought it best to tell just as a notice if Adobe know anything about what could be causing it. I have the newest video drivers installed which has enabled photoshop to work on dual moniotors with open gl and also had a refresh prefomance increase in certian other areas.
Is there a way to select things on an angle? The default selection tool is a rectangular shape, I need something linear that I can draw. Like draw a line through several elements and everything that line touches it selects.
I was working in a drawing doing some copying/pasting from marquee selections. Somehow I now have a light blue line stretching horizontally from one side of the screen to the other. It runs out past the canvas of the drawing to the edges of the PS window.
I think it occured while I was switching tools with hotkeys and my computer lagged a little bit. It's like a gridline, but I can't find anyway to delete/turn off/move it. When I make a marquee it seems to snap to it as a boundary.
This line doesn't appear in other drawings, so it's just something that I've done in this particular file.
Have Eizo CE210W Monitor calibrated using Eizo software and a SpyderPro2. In CS3, Bridge, and Camera Raw, the shadow areas in pure grayscale black and white pictures are dark olive green rather than pure black.
This is true for both jpg and RAW. However, the same photo open at the same time in Microsoft Photo Viewer is pure black, no green. Workspace in Photoshop is set to Adobe RGB. Any ideas?
Recently downloaded some images from our ftp server. When I open the files in photoshop - the resolution appears as 299.99 dpi. When a co-worker opens it - the resoltion appears as 72 dpi. Both have the same file size and pixel dimensions.
Any ideas? Just trying to find the "true" resolution. Only difference that we can see is that I am using CS3 - my co-worker is using Photoshop 6.
I recently built a new computer. In getting all my old favorite programs reinstalled I have found that when I am trying to export using the PNG format with alpha well the alpha is quite strange. If I view it in Irfanview it gives this weird effect like there is a background in certain areas, more directly in back of the main image.
Maybe it's Irfanview but no I just checked it out in XNView as well and the same thing.
what's causing this strange exprort bug?? Is there an specific update I need.
The image in jpg is a direct save to that format in Irfanview so you can see what I'm talking about.
Normally I search for my issues in forums, but this one is so specifically strange that I am having trouble finding a solution.
I have an image with 8 visible layers. I am unable to erase or draw on any of them. Erasing does nothing, and drawing comes out pink in various shades no matter what color I choose.
If I create a duplicate layer of ANY of these layers, I can then erase and draw in them. I can hide the original layer. However, if I DELETE the original layer, "Quick Mask" becomes invisible under Channels. If I make "Quick Mask" visible again, I am back to square one on the new duplicate layer, pink colors and no erasing.
When I hover over the menu commands in Photoshop or Illustrator (both CS2), white rectangles appear behind the Menu Commands and so cluttering the otherwise nice GUI. As I experienced this before on another computer but still have no clue what is going wrong could someone give me a clue what's going on here? I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2.
If I open preferences, I get a 'ghosted' version of the close, minimize, and maximize buttons in the top right corner. The 'ghosted' version is on top and takes focus, the 'real' version doen't work.
