I've been using Photoshop CS6 for awhile now on a very stable iMac i5 with 16GB RAM on Snow Leopard but recently its behaving very badly. I am having problems with very minor tasks like transform, open, save, move, etc. Photoshop gets hung up and the wheel starts spinning. Typically this is a font related problem but I've done every maintenance task known to man and still having issues. I've deleted prefs, cleared out brushes, action, tools, repaired permissions, my fonts are all clean, has nothing to do with time machine or background tasks (that i know of) yet it still runs slow. This is definitely not a slow video card problem, I have an ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 with 16GB of ram and plenty of hard drive space. I've ticked off the "Use Graphics Processor" restarted and the problem persists....
SO, i thought maybe i need to update my OS and get up to speed with the new cat, Mountain Lion. Maybe its just not cooperating with Snowy cats anymore. I completed the upgrade last night and I'm still seeing beachball working on 72 dpi PSD files. I've worked on 3GB layered files in the past with no problems.
Illustrator keeps freezing when applying an effect such as texture-grain to a simple gradient, or even rasterizing a simple black circle. My system is about a 6month old macbook pro with 16gb ram, i7 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB. What could be causing this? It wasn't like this when i first started using the laptop but has started to do it everytime i try and do any of those simple tasks recently.
I have been using Corel since V3. I recently started using X5 instead of V11 for my daily tasks. Overalll when it stays running all works great. But I have had multiple instances of the application just closing without warning on very simple tasks like editing text, moving text, trying to select a drop shadow and moving around toolbar. This instability scares me. One time it close unexpectely it corrupted the file too. I am used to the once in a while crash but this happened multiple times in a couple of days. When you reopen the same file and do the same tasks again no crash.
I am trying to install Photoshop but it get stuck and the system is hung near at 80%, I waited for more than an hour, tried many times but the same result. My system is a P4. 3Ghz 2GB DDR2 RAM.
I have previously been using Adobe Creative Suite CS2 Premium Web Bundle where I work. I recently was able to get an upgrade to Adobe Design Suite Premium CS3. I am using version 10.0.1.0
The primary piece of software that I use is Photoshop. I had not had any problems running Photoshop CS2 on my computer in the past. When I upgraded to CS3, I constantly ran into problems with it crashing.
I soon discovered that it didn't upgrade to CS3, but instead installed side-by-side with CS2. I uninstalled CS2 and continued to have the same problems. I have tried a reinstallation of CS3 with no improvement. I have had so many problems that my network administrator replaced my computer with a new one. Installing the software there gave me the same problems.
The new computer has the same baseline image with Windows XP SP2 (32 bit). >Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU
> 6600 @ 2.40GHz
>2.39 Ghz, 2.99 GB of RAM
There are so many operations that trigger a crash. To simplify things, I have found that the following steps are easily repeatable and guarentee a crash.
*CTRL+N (New File)
*ENTER (Ok button)
*CTRL+A (Select All)
*CTRL+C (Copy)
*CTRL+N (New File)
*ENTER (Ok Button)
*Crash!
It keeps prompting me to send in error reports to Microsoft to check the status, but nothing ever comes back.
I just bought elements11, installed it and imported photos from folders, when i wanted to check/change preferences the program hung up 'loading' . my computer meets system requirments according to the box.
I have Photoshop CS5 and would like to upgrade to CS6. I have a lot of tasks stored and would like to be able to either have them retained during the upgrade or save the files somewhere and then load them into CS6.
Have installed new Elements 9 and Premiere 9. All works well, except can't get into organizer without hanging up on this message, 'Restoring People Recognition Data'. It shows 2% progress and just hangs there.
I have a Render message that reads in red type "FTL: Virtual device creation failed." And I'm unable to click out of the message box, or click OK or cancel. Nothing happens. There seems to be a problem with my screen as well, it holds onto prior open windows and I'm unable to have a fresh window in Max. Does any of this have anything to do with os Windows 7 Home Premium vs. Pro or Ultimate? Even some of the tasks in Max don't seem to be initializing. For example, I tried to Manage>Set up Project and clicked on file in Windows 7 Home Premium and nothing happens.
How to model these lamps and curtains(hung from ceiling) made of threads. I am particularly interested in how to model these to look like natural threads as realistic as the picture.
New to Revit. Using 2012. I'm trying to add a double hung window to a wall and get the following error message:
Can't make type "Double Hung with Trim : 36" x 48" - Error 1 -- Windows : Double Hung with Trim : 36" x 48" - Mark 22 : id 172423 -- Type : Windows : Double Hung with Trim : 36" x 48" : id 172439
I get the same error message no matter what size I try to use
I have a new machine that locks up when doing basic tasks. Things such as pedit, switching tabs, undo. I am beginning to think that it is hardware related because the same drawing work perfectly fine in older machines
Xeon E3-1240 16GB RAM MSI Z77A-G41 LGA 1155 MB Samsung Pro SSD 256GB AMD FirePro W5000 Video Card
This is the first build with a SSD and this Video Card. I have the AMD V4900 in two other machines and they seem to be adequate but wanted a better card for this build.
I typically work in autocad with the Layer Properties Manager open on my other screen (dual screen setup). I have been having no problem with freezing and other layer management tasks on other files. But on a particular file, the simple task of freezing a layer takes 20 seconds. Other simple tasks like saving and switching to a layout sheet also take near 30 seconds. There only seems to be a few files that ever do this to me.
I have all xrefs updated and she'd purged and audited.
Also, does having the layer properties manager or properties manager dialogue windows open at all times dramatically complicate autocad's processes?
I have set up one computer to run the Task Scheduler to get the latest versions of my Library files (this is done with mutliple tasks thoughout the day). Is there a way to copy the scheduled tasked set up on this computer to other computers without manually setting up each machine.
I am using Autocad 2011 although I only use it to tidy my drawings prior to sending to my client, my proficiency is quite basic. I have been tasked with surveying a number of feeder pillars or cabinets with 5 points of data, pt 1 is the centre of the doors, the other 4 points are the corners of the cabinet always in the same order. These can be imported into Autocad as a series of points and then I have to join the dots, and draw the cabinet. I know a little about blocks and that I can create a block of my drawing and place it over the five points, and then I'm stuck as if I change the block once it changes it in all the other positions.
After i have placed the block, I need to list the coordinates of the 5 points, this i do individually using the id command and copy and paste into a table. Is there anyway to speed this up?
I have attached a sketch of what I'm after doing, there could be as many 20+ cabinets in a drawing.
I only just got photoshop yesterday and I barely know a thing but I have got an image with 3 layers and I want to make it into a simple animation, displaying each layer in turn.
Is there a way to add simple expressions to Photoshop?In After Effects when you put "287/11" as a value, it automatically divides it for you. Can Photoshop do that and how?
I want to hilite an area in a layer to copy and then PASTE into that EXACT same layer, (preferably with the MOVE tool selected so that I can then move that new pasted selection around), is there a way to do this?
The only PASTE commands I see are PASTE (which pastes AS NEW IMAGE) and PASTE INTO (which does I DONT KNOW WHAT!) Some kinda paste to new layer and auto create a mask
I've switched my site over to a Wordpress publishing system and am working on modifying one of the themes. I want to incorporate the old pixel design of my site. On the header image I used a Photoshop Tutorial to achieve the effect I wanted. I have since misplaced the tutorial and cannot locate information on how to repeat the desired "cross stitched pixel" effect.
I have no MS Paint or digital photography skills at all. I have tried, but it never turns out the way I want it to, so I come to the digital photography pros for a favor. Would anyone do a simple job for free? All I need is text added to the picture.
I would like "GA VA 2006-2007" and underneath have "22-14-8". The bottom left would be the best place, I think, but if you have another idea, go for it. All I want is to make it look good.

I'm using Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS X. Last year I created an artwork including colour half tones, but also some other simple halftone filter that I applied to layers of solid colour (see attached image - you may need to view it at 100% to see what I mean)
It's a simple half tone pattern of white vs 1xcolour using either circles or squares. I remember that this was applied simply, not any special process as I didn't go out of my way to create this effect I just stumbled upon it. I can't for the life of me remember how to do it again.
I am looking to have a custom badge made for my car, an Acura RSX. It seems like it should be simple, but I am no good at design stuff. All I want to do is replace the "RSX" badge with one that says "DC5", but in the same exact lettering style as the RSX one, so I need a plain text design to take to a metal worker and put through a CAD machine or something. Attached is a couple images of the RSX text.
I have a big PSD file that I need to export to .PNG. It has a lot of texts inside and I need to edit them very fast and possible without loading the PSD file since it will eat my memory.
So, Simple text editor of a PSD without loading the PSD and auto save to .PNG with the same name in same directory.
I have been making a simple image of a 300 by 100 rounded rectangle and then adding various layer styles. Basically I am makeing mobile headers which will be used for mobile websites.
Today I was reviewing a few that I have made and noticed that when I open them in their .png format and then create a selection around one (Ctrl + Click) that the lower right coner is not being selected as rounded but as a point and so when I copy and then paste it into a new document it has three rounded corners and one somewhat visible pointed corner. ?? ??
The file has a BG layer and two shape layers (or sometimes just one shape layer). I select the layers and then merge them together and turn off the BG layer beofore I save them for the web. I have also tried just saving the file as a .png w/out merging the layers but no matter how I go about saving the file(s) most of the time one corner is saved w/that annoying and imperfect sharp corner.
I'm having a problem recently with Photoshop CS5 (Version 12.0 x64), where images look bizarrely noise-y and with wrong colors when I open them in PS. However, if I view these same images in Windows Photo Viewer or Chrome, they look fine. AND, if I save the messed-up looking images in Photoshop, then view the new files in Photo Viewer/Chrome, they appear fine, without any of the noise or errors they were just showing in Photoshop.
An update did just recently come out for my video card (AMD Radeon HD 7870) so I suspect it did something or that some settings are now wrong, but I don't know how to fix this. I have tried tinkering with Photoshop's color settings in Preferences, each time closing / re-opening PS with the images in question, but nothing has worked so far.
Here is the exact same image, how it appears on the screen when opened in Photoshop. However, the distortion on the blue text only appears visibly on-screen while in Photoshop. If I save it and open it elsewhere, it looks fine. If I copy-paste it to a new document, it still looks distorted, but saving/opening elsewhere reveals an undistorted image.
Another example. Original, proper image that I created previously: Same image, when opened in Photoshop - lots of noise suddenly in the green and blue bars, on the axe, etc.I did discover that if I opened one of these images and it was all distorted, if I changed the mode to 32 bits/Channel suddenly it would go back to looking normal and without distortion. But I have no desire to work in 32 bit mode, since I want to save jpegs for web use and other simple uses.
