Photoshop :: CS4 Upgrade Just Unpacks And Disappears
Oct 15, 2008
I downloaded InDesign (a .7z file and an .exe) and starting the exe which successfully installed InDesign.
Same type of download for PS CS4 and started the .exe file which unpacks all the files and then the window disappears and there is no further activity.
I have a problem in Photoshop CS5 (v. 12.0.2) after ugrading my Mac system to Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I use a mouse (not wireless, also tried changing mouse).
When I work with a picture using the brush tool and move the cursor to a palette or menu, the layers palette for example, the cursor disappers. Sometimes you can see that the palettes gets "marked" when you move the mouse around (I mean the "buttons" that changes when you move the cursor over them).
But the cursor is gone and I can't see where to click. If I just click around and eventually hit the right spot, a layer for example, the cursor usually comes back. But the problem happens again as soon as I move the cursor from my picture to a palette or menu.
I don't use that many different tools in Photoshop, usually just the brush tool. But the same thing happens with the doodge tool (or any other tool I think)}.
I have tried everything that i can think of. I use a mac and when i try to load photoshop everything appears to be working normally. I see the box come up and the tools loading and then nothing! Gone! I did a search and deleted any adobe items including the program and tried reinstalling and it still happens. I have tried installing DIFFERENT versions of PS and it still happens. What should I do? Reinstall my operating system? I'm using 10.4.8 and have plenty of memory left as well ...
I use the rectangle tool to draw two rectangles where I use blending options to set opacity to 0 (no fill). But when I draw the second rectangle the first one disappears. How do I see both rectangles at the same time?
Another thing. How do I change linesize for the borders for the rectangle?
why the content of a Configurator panel dissapears when I leave Photoshop and return? The panel loads fine at startup but when I go to another app and return, the panel is empty. The name of the panel is there, just no contents.
I've recently installed CS6 on a new Win 7 64 bit machine.
I'm beginning to install various plugins (Topaz, Nik, etc.).
I think this is the correct procedure, but let me know if it's wrong: I open Photoshop, go to Edit, Preferences, Plugins, then check the "additional plug-ins folder" and choose browse. I navigate to the main folder for the product I'm looking for. For example, Topaz... I'm using 3 plug-ins: Detail, Remask, Adjust. I highlight the folder, click OK, close PS, then reopen it. I open an image, then go to Filter, and find that all three plug-ins are there. I open each one, make sure that they are activated with my activation key, then close each application.
I then went back to Edit, Preferences, Plugins and browsed for the next plugin folder. In this specific case, it was Portraiture, by Imagenomic. I highlight the folder, click OK, close PS, re-open, and when I look for this plugin under Filter, I see it. But, now, one of the Topaz plug-ins are gone. It always seems to be the Topaz Adjust. If I navigate back to it, re-do the plug-in from PS, then the Imagenomic plug-in disappears next time I open PS.
In each case, I just highlight the main folder (Topaz, or Imagenomic), not the Topaz Adjust folder (though I did try this, and it made no difference).
When using the crop tool, and I expand the cropped area outside the original image, the image disappears and the area turns white. How do I turn what ever "feature" this is off?
But as soon as I flatten the image or merge visable the drop shadows disappear.I had to actually take a screen shot in order to show what I'm talking about.
I am on a Mac Pro with Magic Trackpad. Using Photoshop CS5, the cursor/pointer disappears after a while, and I have to switch to another application, then back to Photoshop to bring it back. The pointer does not disappear over the image window, just over the tool palettes, toolbar, menus, etc. This is a recent development, and I've only ever seen it in Mountain Lion. None of my previous systems exhibited this behavior.
all of a sudden everytime i try to "save as" a file the save as window pops up for a second then simply disappears and i cant click anything. the only thing i can do is shut down photoshop in the process list.

i already tried removing and reinstaling but it didnt work
Today I went to puppet warp a layer, and as soon as I placed the first pin, the image part of the puppet warp disappeared - only the mesh was visible. I can't figure out where to put pins or adjust my layer if I can't see the actual image!
Have been using puppet warp with my current system config for a long time with no issues, and had, in fact, puppet warped several things just a few minutes prior with no issues. I have tried after restarting, using hardly any system resources, and with all other layers visible, and hidden. No matter what I try, as soon as I place the first pin, only the mesh remains and I can't see what I'm trying to warp at all. !
I am working in Photoshop CS6. I am putting a light effect over a layer and the lighting effect using the alpha channel.Everything is fine in the preview stage, however when I go back to the main part of my document the effect appears for a little while then disappears. I save it before it disappears as a JPEG and as a psd to input into indesign but when saved the lighting effect does not show up on either file.
Whenever I edit any text - be it editing an existing text layer, or with a new one, whatever text is there just randomly and without warning disappears. Doesn't matter wether I'm changing the color, font, font size or any other type settings. Sometimes I just move the mouse while in editing mode and the text just vanishes.
Made a video of the bug in action. Virtual keyboard on screen so you can see that I'm not hitting any keys to make the text disappears. Latest version of Photoshop, CC, OS X etc.
I noticed this was a question when CS4 came out; I've just upgraded from CS3 to CS6 so am experiencing the problem decribed in an earlier thread here:

I have an Nvidia Geforce 7900GS card with an old 2006 driver, 8.4.4.0 I tried updating to driver 306.81 from earlier this month and whilst this solved the brush issue, it caused the PC's cooling fans to operate much more frequently (and noisily) than before so I concluded it was not so suitable for my card.
In view of this, should I be trying an older driver, say from 2009 as the earlier post suggests "because that bug was fixed by Nvidia back in the Spring of 2009"
If so, which one?
I'm running XP, SP3 PC has dual core Pentium CPU 3.4GHz, 4GB RAM (3.25 useable with XP) CS6 updated with all available updates.
This happens occasionally-out of nowhere the brush tool stops showing as a circle of specfic diameter and shows as a crosshairs, which does me no good whatever. This goes for all tools using the brush presets-brush, eraser, and stamp. I can't do anything. because I can't see the tool I'm working with. I tried restarting PS, then restarting with trashed prefs. Neither worked. I know that sooner or later it will come back and all wil be well, but meanwhile, the deadlines are creeping closer & closer. The enemy is at the gates.

First ?: How do I get drawings I've just opened to float (rather than pin themselves to the top left of ph-shop?
Second ?: When I open a photo.... work on it.... open a second photo....It opens and appears as a blank pallet, (as if there's no picture) but.... when I grab and move the image window with my cursor at the top border, the image appears... then when I release it placing it where I want to move it... the image disappears again. The image is visable the WHOLE time within the navigator panel.
I then have to restart CS5 in order to fix it... but then it'll happen 10 minutes later.
I have a PSD at 600 dpi, RGB. When I press "Print" nothing happens within Photoshop. Then when I go back and look at the menu options, "print" is grayed out.
With an open file, if I drag it to a new position, the content of the picture disappears, showing only the desktop underneath.
If I click on it with any tool, the content comes back. Drag it again and the content disappears.
Of course, if I turn off OpenGL features in prefs, the behavior goes away (as do all of the cool features like continuous zoom, sharp at all zoom percentages, etc.).

I am trying to soften the edge of photos as is popular now. I am running CS3 10.0.1 on Vista. When I select the photo and click 'refine edge' button, I can create the effect I want but when I click 'OK' the effects vanish. Is this a bug (or a feature?)
Today I purchased Photoshop Elements 12, went through the installation process, and it should be ready to begin editing. However, whenever I attempt to open Photoshop, nothing happens. My OS is Windows 7; I click the icon onmy taskbar, and the cursor shows that it is loading, the icon is highlighted, but then the loading symbol stops and the icon highlight disappears. When I attempt to open a file using PSE, the loading banner appears, but shortly thereafter, I receive an alert saying "Photoshop Elements 12 Editorhas stopped working" and under it, it says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" and the only available option it "Close program." I had this exact issue with PSE 7, and figured that purchasing an updated version might fix this problem. Evidently, I was mistaken. This is a very serious issue, as I am a graphic designer (creating logos, posters, programs, etc) and use Photoshop for this purpose. I have been using Elements for years, but only recently has this problem arisen. This is, of course, infuriating, as I have paid $70 for a program that doesn't even work.
