Photoshop :: CS6 Icons Sometimes Do Not Appear On Macintosh
Sep 3, 2012
I've been using my trial of Photoshop CS6 Extended for 10 days now. I have run into a peculiar problem - when saving a file Photoshop does not display any sort of icon. No thumbnail, no generic, nothing. It's not a huge problem, I can always open the image but not by double-clicking on the icon: it's just not there.
i have been trying to create mac desktop icons using the "Photoshop PICT Resource File" and it works all right, but i lose any transparency one the image is saved.
I have tried using various icon programs (IconBuilder, etc) but they never seem to work for me.
Since i am on a Mac, standerd icon programs just dont cut it, because im looking to create high-quality icons like those found on Pixel Girl (a great resource for both Mac + Windows Icons).
I am far from a beginner, but i can't seem to find any tutuorials that apply to this topic.
I downloaded a sweet font FFXSpiran.ttf. As we all know, Macontosh reads dfont and so on.
Well, magically, the font works great in Painter IX, but will not show up in PSCS. I used my FontBook to disable quite a few fonts(that's what they said to do at Adobe.Com), well, it didn't work, or I wouldn't be here.
I can select it from the font menu in the program, but when I go to type anything, it's blank. When I move away from the text layer, it will display the letters I typed, but it's still blank. It's quite frustrating.
I had to do a clean install (Archive and Install) recently on my Macintosh (450 MHz PowerPC G4, 1.25 GB SDRAM, OSX 10.4.11) and found afterwards that the drag-and-drop capabilities of Photoshop (CS2, version 9.0.2) were no longer available. In addition to this,
I'm now not able to edit original graphics in Photoshop through the links palette in InDesign (CS2, version 4.0.5). I've searched through the Previous System folder that Archive and Install left, but don't know enough to recognize the software component(s) necessary to solve this problem.
Take action to make Kodak Plug Ins possible for Macintosh CS6.Aparently, they are unable to integrate them into the new version of Photoshop without your participation.
be aware that our Plug-Ins are 32-bit. CS5 allowed for our Plug-Ins to be installed in 32-bit mode on the Mac, but this was not offered for CS6. You might check with Adobe to see if they will offer this in future.We are currently evaluating the possibility of updating our Kodak Professional Image Enhancement Plug-Ins to 64-bit, but have no definite plans as of now. Please periodically visit our website for any updates to our plug-in availability.
I've installed my new windows CS6, all my .psd files have the 'generic icons' windows give to files they don't recognize. Everything else has normal icons (i.e. Illustrator files) but the Photoshop files are blank. This is true whether I'm on any type of viewer format, i.e. details, thumbnails.
Can I rename my Macintosh HD Hard Drive? I had a recent problem with After Effects not loading. It's a brand new iMac and had a clean install of Adobe Production Premium CS6. I do have a few plugins installed that I purchased from Video Co-Pilot and Mocha AE. But I can't imagine those plug-ins were the culprit. However, I did rename my Hard Drive prior to the not-loading problem.
Could renaming my Macintosh HD have had an effect on that?
I have CS6 installed on a Windows 8 system. The other day I needed to install an older version, CS2 to test a few things. This immediately changed all the Photoshop icons for things like Actions, Plugins, Filters, etc., to the CS2 icons.
After testing I uninstalled CS2 assuming all the CS6 icons would return. They didn't and now I'm left with blank white icons for things like Actions, Filters, Plugins, etc.
How can I get my CS6 icons back? Will uninstalling - reinstalling CS6 restore them? Is there an easier way? I need them back as I'm writing some documents that require screen shots and I need those icons back.
My old icons are gone on my psd files and such. Now they got a paint icon on them... How can I change this to photoshop cc so that I can actually see what kind of files they are...
I am useing Photoshop CS5 as I use to use Photoshop7.When I had my psd files in folders I was able to see a thumbnail of the pic that was on the file.I switched over to CS5 the only thing I see is the Photoshop icon and not the thumbnail of what on the psd file.How can I fixed this? I am using Windows 7 Pro 64bit.When I was useing photoshop 7 on windows 7 I was able to see the pic but seeing I got rid of it now I cant.
I would just like to ask coz' I love to make icons but I have a problem resizing them by 100x100. I'm using Photoshop 5.5 is it possible for me to do so?
I'm working on a project where I need a higher resolution version of the Photoshop and Lightroom tool icons. I've scoured the internet and can't find any icon sets of tools. I could do a screen capture of the tool palette and try to res them up, but they fall apart quickly.
I did open the package contents and poked around in there and found a few things like the eyedropper as PNG files, but could not locate any of the Photoshop tool icons.
I want to make a set of icons for my website, but I'm not too sure how to go about it, using photoshop. I want to make icons that are full 16-24bit colour - like Mac icons (not same style, but those kind of nice icons).
I have Photoshop CS installed and my daughter had Elements 3, but wanted me to show her how to use it. I installed it on my laptop to figure it out. I recently uninstalled it and now my icons for all my downloaded styles, brushes, actions, plugins, and shapes are generic windows icons. I keep them in separate folders to use in Photoshop as I need them. I can still use them, so it's not that big of a deal, but the Photoshop style icons are missing. I know it had something to do with uninstalling Elements 3 because I restored my computer thinking something was wrong and realized Elements was back and I checked and the icons were back. I uninstalled Elements again and they were gone again.
I have been creating icons for a 3D program for nearly two years now and used to send the icons in PSD format to developers. Just recently I have been sending the icons as BMP at their request but the icons now seem to have the halo effect creepin into them. They want BMP files and they use the upper left pixel of the icon to determine the transparency in the icon as they need a gradient background, and active state and the icons are desaturated when not used.
Anyway, here is the procedure I am trying to solve this but something is going wrong.
1. I use a 3D program to make 3D objects then render the image with a white background at 300x300 as a JPEG. No Antialiasing.
2. I open a new image in CS2, drag the rendered image into it then use the magic wand with antialiasing turned off and tolerance of 30-40 to remove the white background.
3. Then I use Layers>matting.Defringe to remove any artefacts. At this point the icon looks fine.
4. I resize the image to 26x26 and choose Bicubic interpolation. Finally I drag it into a PSD document as a layer.
5. To get the image into a usable format I have a background layer of pink (RGB: 255,0,255) so that it can define the transparency then I save it as a 24bit BMP.
Problem is, when the developer puts it into the program it has a noticable pink halo around it. I cannot do any more to remove antialiasing which he tells me is the problem.
Changing file format is not an option...has to be BMP.
to replace the default smilies in a post with tool icons from Photoshop? That way we can quickly (you see them on the right, click on them to add them)
im trying to make pixel icons, like a book, and some other icons for a CMS (content management system) that i am making. BUT i haven't got a very good idea how to make those icons.
I have installed PS CS6 and updated it to 7.2. I can see my images under Bridge file icons, but under PS file icons, the images are generic. What do I need to do in Photoshop? What does Bridge have that PS does not?
I have installed the latest Update for Photoshop CS6 (13.0.4)..And now the Toolbar-Icons look very strange and hazy..you can not see almost what are the symbols represent..for example the Spot Healingbrush etc.Is this a Bug, or the Icons are "re-designed" (but worse than before)...?
I am running a subscription to Creative Cloud on a new Windows laptop....just Photoshop to start with. The fonts and icons are so small I can hardly see them...I have to get really close to the screen. I went to Edit >Preferences >Interface and changed the font size from medium to large but that didn't work (or if it did, the change was negligible). My screen resolution is set at 1920x1080 (recommended). I tried lowering it but that only changed the sizes of the fonts on my desktop, not in Photoshop. I run PS cs4 on my old laptop and never have had this problem.
We have CR 7.4, and CS6. The files are D800 images. When I open the file, the image looks totally flat, but all the levels (numbers for blacks, whites, contrast etc) all show the same as my client's computer.
Also, before I touch the file the XMP files appear correct. Adobe seems to recognize them, and they have correct icon. However if I save a change to XMP, the file appears as an apple script file.
I tried the adobe clean up app, re-installed PS, am running the newest CR7.4. Is there something I'm missing? My OS is 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. My client is on 10.8 .
