Photoshop :: Can't Download "Extract Filter" Off Disc
Mar 27, 2009
Everytime i try to download the Extract Filter from my disc i get a message from windows saying "Windows can not open this file. File: ExtractPlus.8BF"
Then it says that windows needs to know what program created the file and that it can search online or i can tell it what program created it. Neither option enables the download.
I have a legit Photoshop 6.0 CD-Key here but my installation disc seems to be corrupted. Where can I obtain a new disc or download an installation of Photoshop 6.0.
I lost my cs4 disc. I got a new computer to install it on, adobe has given me a new serial number now i just need the program. Is there a link to download cs4?
I have Photoshop CS4 running on a 8 gig Vista 64 bit system. When I click on Filters, there is no Extract Filter. I did a search prior to posting and saw some threads talking about not moving files, icons etc from their original folder. I am un sure if anything has been moved. However, when I click on Filters, they all seem to be there (at least not greyed out), EXCEPT for the Extract filter. Any help would be apprecited and if you let me know where the filters should reside I can make sure they are in the correct location.
I need to download a copy of CS4 to load on a new computer and cannot find disc. The software is registered and I have the Serial Number. I found a answer to the same question back in June and I followed the instructions to download on a Prodesign Site but when I double clicked the exe file it told me a file archive part of photoshop was missing.Â
My iMac hard drive recently failed and I lost everything. I just bought one of the new iMacs with no disc drive. I had purchased Photoshop CS5 in 2011 but it came with CD's for install. I stil have them but it doesn't do me any good since there is no disc drive to put them in on the new computer.
How can I install Photoshop using my serial number from my original purchase? I downloaded the CS6 trial version and when I try to activate it with my old serial number it says it is invalid. Â
In CS4, the Extract filter was removed, but was available as a plug-in. I've now upgraded to CS6. There is still a plug-in for this tool! If there is, where can I find it?
I have Problem with Extract Filter which was working OK until recently. Now, when I choose the filter the screen does not come up as the extract screen as it should and no other action can be taken except to press escape which returns me to normal.
working.   Looks as if the extraction function has been sleected but does not show? I am trying to use the extract on a layer. Have tried to use it on a selection also.
well it worked once then went away then got it to work again then now its gone its not staying and the file is still there when i open with ps and check the filters not there.
I am using the Filter Extract method to clear cut or background erase around some pics of ladies hair. I understand this is the best tool for this task.
I have studued the Photoshop Help and a couple of tutorials on this subject, and have achieved a couple of passable clear cuts. But as awlasy there si room for improvement.
I am trying to assemble some notes on the best settings etc to use and thought someone out there might be able to contribute.
I have found it a good concept to do the models hair with the Filter Extract option and then to use the Magic Lasso for the rest of her body. Do you agree ?
When in the Filter Extract mode is it best to zoom in on the models face to work on her hair ? Or do you work at actual size ?
Most tutorials say to use a wide brush over the hair edges. Is the idea to move the brush exactly along the hair edges or do you move it along across the edge of the hair and the background ? Is it best to set the width of the brush so that it can cover the width of all of the wispy bits of hair in one pass, or can you just go over them with the filter extract brush?
I hear a lot of people talking blithely about how superior Refine Edge is to the previous Extract Filter. Â If you look at the two sample files called "Auto Align 1" and "Auto Align 2" in the tutorials folder a couple of versions back you'll find 2 children with sharp outlines against the background and frothy hair around the girl. How refine edge can - in 1 fell swoop - eliminate the clearly defined background around the shoulders AND leave the frothiness of the girls' hair? Until then I stand resolute that REFINE EDGE is NOT a substitute for the EXTRACT FILTER at all!
I tried to install the optional extract filter on CS4 Extended by dropping it into the photoshop filters folder. When I tried to open it a message comes up that says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." When I restart photoshop it says the filter is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error.
I'm having trouble with the Extract filter being grayed out/disabled in some types of files...it seems like I can't use it on TIFF files, but I can if it's a JPEG.
how do i install pixel bender additional exchange filters plug ins after I have downloaed them and extracted. I went to adobe programme files. applesoftware plug ins .(but wonder what apple have got to do with adobe pug ins plug ins, and panel came up sayng I need administration permission. but also feel this not right place and not want to create problems but them not going in right place and I just don't understand the difference in thbe 86x and 64 bit or what cs5 I am running
i bought adobe cloud and i started downloading all the software and deleting old version. I didn't know there was a special way to delete adobe application so i just dragged it into a program called app cleaner and it deleted all the files. But it won't let me put cs6 photoshop on my computer because it still thinks i have cs6 photoshop beta. how can i get photoshop back onto my computer.
I tried to use the lens flare filter in Photoshop CS6.While the lighting effect is interesting, it introduces ugly artifacts like blue or orange blobs (which are supposed to be the reflection of the diaphragm, but do not look anywhere close to that, but instead are just cheesy looking blobs of color). Â In the "movie prime" setting blue lines are added which have nothing to do with lens flar.On top of it, the preview is about the size of a stamp. Any way to use the filter without getting these artifacts, or is it - what I assume - just a useless toy filter, that has probably been dragged on for years and years because it's always been there? What do you use to create a lens flare effect? Are you just building it from scratch with brush work?
camera raw filter does not show up on the filter drop list on CC. I am trying to determine why this is the case. So far everything else seems to work.
I've deleted my PS preferences and restarted, and I cannot get this filter to do what is was just doing a day earlier. It doesn't matter what the foreground/background colors are, nor does it matter what the resolution of the file is. I've experimented with every variable. The filter effect changes the filled layer to a solid color of the current foreground color. No lines, dots or circles at all.  I'm trying to make lines in a filled layer, or a rasterized text layer.Adjusting the sliders has no effect at this point, but the other Gallery filters DO work, oddly enough.  I've used this filter effect many times over the years, and it just started acting wonky. This is PS CS6, on Mac OSX 10.8.5.It seems to be unpredictable or temperamental. Is there a reasonably-priced plugin that will create lines that are completely adjustable?
I have CS5 for Mac and my disc was damaged. Adobe no longer has it for download or a replacement disc. This happened to me with CS3 and I paid to upgrade to CS5, now they want me to do it again
This is my first post, and I was hoping someone can help me out. I'm looking to add a seperate internal HD to use as the Photoshop Scratch exclusively. I'am considering the WD Raptor 36GB SATA 16MB 10000RPM.
My question is: Size-wise, will 36GB be enough?
I'm on a budget. I can almost get 2 x 160GB SATA 7200 for the price of the 1 x Raptor 36GB, so I really want to be sure I'm doing the rigth thing and aiming for speed.
My Set-Up would then be: Internal 1: 320 GB 7200 (main drive / programs & system installations) Internal 2: 36 GB Rapter (photoshop scratchdisc exclusive) External 1: 500 GB Mybook (all documents)
I purchased Photoshop CS6 Extended several months ago when I owned a Windows computer. I recently bought my MAC which doesnt have a disc drive, how am I suppose to download Photoshop without the disc?
