Photoshop started crashing and I don't remember making any changes to my computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled countless times, I have held the shift, alt, cntrl key and reset preferences, I have changed printer defauts . . . I tried setting up a new user on my computer.

I was dabbling with a 3D version of my company logo that heads my home page, and ended up in a situation where things weren't working right, so I saved the design and closed Photoshop.
Â
Specifically, I had gotten to a point where I wanted to make part of the extruded text Bold Italic, so I pressed the Edit Source button and expected Photoshop to open the text smart object, where I could make that change. I found I could still interact with Photoshop, so I saved the design.
Still works in PS6 but not CC
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm the manager of the in-house Production and Imaging Teams. We receive art from illustrators, prep it as needed and deliver for production/printing. Every computer in the department uses the exact same color profile settings (I know because I create, maintain and install them), we're all on the same version of PS (CS 5, version 12.1), the Imaging Team calibrates their monitors every week, and yet we have one machine in the group that won't play nice with the incoming art.
Â
There are 4 Macs in the Imaging room. Machines 1,2 and 3 all display the illustrations exactly the same way, machine 4 displays the art as if it has been oversaturated and the contrast pushed up, as a result we are losing subtle details in the art.We can't even embed our color profiles using machine 4 since it will convert the art to what we are seeing on screen. If anyone on the other machines opens the raw import and embeds the profiles the art looks the way we expect, but open a copy from machine 4 and there is a drastic difference.
Â
So far we have deleted all color settings, profiles and presets and reinstalled them. No effect.Figuring we missed something, we deleted the entire Creative Suite (and all peripheral bits and pieces) then reinstalled it. No effect.The next step is throw it in the trunk, drive it up into the hills, shoot it, light it on fire and bury it in a shallow grave.
I cleared out my cache folders from Premire Pro and Encore recently. Now when ever I'm in Photoshop I am consistently getting the spinning pinwheel on very simple edits.
Â
Example, I open a very small JPG, and add a box to it. Just dragging the box, I will get a spinning pinwheel. I don't get it on any other applications.
A few months ago I successfully loaded Elements 11 onto my desktop. As we are going on holiday decided to load also onto my laptop. As laptop does not take discs, I decided to download as a trial and then put in serial number. It seemed to download alright but every time I have tried to instal I get the message "Installation failed to initialize".  This has happened many times and I have tried rebooting etc. At one stage they got me to download Adobe Application Manager, but it was not explained, or identified, why. Adobe Application Manager seems to be for more advanced Adobe products. I have also got Adobe Download Assistant, which seems appropriate.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI asked essentially this question on Elements Village a few days ago. No responses as yet, so I thought I'd try here...In PSE10, I have many photos scanned to TIFFs. In the Organizer, I set the dates for these photos to match when the original photo was taken (which of course is not present in the automatic metadata for the scanned image). However, when I look at the actual photo files (either with exiftool, or looking at the metadata available in Windows Explorer on my Windows 7 machine), usually my added date is not present. If it is there, I see a "Date taken" in Explorer. In exiftool, it appears in a few places, including IPTC Date Created and XMP-xmp:Create Date. However, it only appears in about 5-10% of the files. The ones where it does appear seem random to me.I have this problem after doing Write Keyword Tags and Properties Info to Photos, although I'm thinking this isn't a factor with this problem. How to get these added dates to be written reliably to the files? And why is it intermittent with PSE10?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a set of drum scans of medium format film images. The pixel dimensions of the scans vary slightly. But they all consist of images of the same frame size, with borders around the image (scanned film outside the image.) All of the scans were done at 4000 pixels per inch, at 100 percent.
Â
For example, the pixels dimensions of one scan is 10492 x 6907, another is 10390 x 6968, and another is 10483 x 6976.
Â
I want to crop all of them to 10200 x 6738 pixels. I want to delete the cropped pixels, and I do not want any scaling to take place. I want to preserve the original metadata (the scanner model, pixels per inch, etc.); in other words, I want to modify the files (or copies of the files), not create new files. The print size does not matter.I've tried several approaches, and none of them let me do what I want:
Â
1.) Manually cropping each scan individually does not give me the control that I need for cropping to precise pixel dimensions.
Â
2.) Creating a Crop Preset with the desired pixel dimensions doesn't work because using it results in scaling (I think.)
Â
3.) Using Canvas Size doesn't work because the borders in the scans are not equal on all four sides. I need to be able to move and position the image inside the crop area.
Â
4.) Using New, and Place… allows me to create a Canvas Size with the desired pixel dimensions and resolution, and move the placed images; they will fit without scaling. However, this results in a new file being created, and therefore the metadata is lost.
I have been trying to save images from one file to a final modified one. Two problems:Â
1) Some images are unedited and save sometimes but not always. Why?  Â
2) Some are a combination of an original plus a transformed close-up from another image. When the finished edited image saves, it is much smaller than the few unedited images that did successfully save. Why?
Â
The images are digital photos of my jewelry. In order to decrease the number of pages on my impending website, I am attempting to transfer, when one is available, a resized close-up to the other shot of the full set (close-ups are what sell the work!). Some of the images show 25% on the top bar but that doesn't seem to make a difference as to whether it will save or not. Others (I notice they seem to be more horizontal images) are 16.7% ? I tried to upload example images to illustrate what I am trying to do but kept getting an error message.Â
I would like to run some code BEFORE AutoCAD opens a drawing. It's a simple validation routine. Ideally speaking the sequence would run as follows...
The user opens a drawing in some way (file dialog, windows explorer, sheet set, etc) I run my validation routine If it passes validation let AutoCAD open it / If it doesn't abort the process.
I can override the OPEN command and substitute my own, but there are a variety of ways to get a dwg open. How to stop or abort opening a drawing consistently? Even if it's not .net?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI completely understand the plethora of issues surrounding color management (color profiles, differences in technical specs in monitors, lighting conditions, etc ) however, I work in a color managed environment and I am consistently seeing over-saturated colors when using the "auto" feature as a starting point for processing. Oftentimes, it is near impossible to bring the colors back to a satisfactory value. I shoot a lot of nature and florals and see this consistently in the green/yellow spectrum. Downright horrific are the results sometimes.Â
Â
I shoot with a Nikon D700, Nikon D2X and all glass is high quality F1.4, F2.8 or F4. The cameras are set at null values for in-camera adjustments so the photos come in to Lightroom fairly flat and un-sharpened.
I've been trowling through th interwebs for an answer and it appears a lot of people have come accross similar issues yet I am still to solve my little hiccup.

I have a bunch of 3D layers sitting on a 3D plane. Everything was going swimmingly until I animated these layers in individual pre-compositions, when all the shadows disappeared. All shadow settings are set correctly, lights are in the right places, layers are separeted on Z axis and there are no effects on anything.
Â
I'll include some images so you get the gist:For some reason, 1 shadow is working. i've checked all the settings and nothing seems to be different between them.
Here's a shot of the stats on the working comp:
And one of a non-working comp:
Now the pre-comps are no longer interacting with the ground at all. You can see the working one in the background is hanging out half way through the floor where as the front characters should be doing the same but aren't.
And finally, for some reason, at the 7second mark, it suddenly works again!?
Now, nothing changes at the 7 second mark, the camera and lights are in exactly he same place.
This is my first corridor and I've been slowly working my way through it, but just seem to be running into problems left and right. My latest problem is the following;
I have my Corridor's Subassembly Daylighting set to target my Left side 33' R/W offset alignment. For 90% of my alignment everything is working fine or at least appears to, but I have 3 different areas where the Corridor refuses to daylight from the bottom of the 1' ditch out to said left alignment target even though the ditch is well below existing grade. I've attached 2 screen grabs.

I am having an issue with the "select sketch features" selection filter. Specifically, it does not seem to work within the edit-in-place environment. If I am sketching on a part that has been opened discretely, selection functions normally. However, if I am editing within an assembly and I attempt to work in a sketch, face selection takes priority over selecting dimensions or sketch features despite the sketch features filter being active. I have not always had this problem, and it began approximately a month ago. I can't think of anything I might have changed to cause this, but I'm wondering if there's an option somewhere that I accidentally toggled.

I've had this problem since switching over to Premiere, and continue to have it since upgrading from CS6 to CC. I can't believe this is actually how Premiere is supposed to work. It's a global thing, not specific to a single project. But I'll use my current project as an example:
Â
I have about 4 hours of media, mostly P2 Avc-Intra, with some R3D as well. Total number of media clips: around 2600.Every time I open the project, it takes a thoroughly horrific amount of time for the media to finish loading (as evidenced by the "Loaded" status message at the bottom of the screen, and the "Media Pending" screen display on still-pending clips). On this particular project, for example, it takes 12 minutes for the media to finish loading. It doesn't take many crashes or reboots per day before the re-loading process eats up a significant chunk of my billable hours.
Â
I've tried having the media cache in the internal drive/Adobe/Common directory, and I've deleted that and set the media cache for the external Thunderbolt media RAID. Same results either way.

We have customized the Content Center for Wide Flange Beams to produce BOM Descriptions that match company standards. They work beautifully until Frame Generator is used. Frame Generator just seems to do whatever it feels like doing. eg. A simple 4-sided frame made from W6X12, will produce parts with different BOM descriptions and different part numbers even though these fields are populated using expressions in Content Center. Parts of the BOM Description are formatted using the Custom Property Format in the parameters of the Family Template in Content Center. This formatting is followed at times and ignored at times.

Photoshop keeps crashing every time I convert a 32 bit image to 8bit. I am using Photoshop CS6 v13.0.4 x64 on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I goto Image>Mode>8bits/Channel.When the Merge HDR images Dialogue Box comes up I click "Merge".
Â
At the following window about HDR Toning it immediately crashes. (immediately as in, a second after I took this screen capture) When i click "Don't Merge" it works fine, so it has something to do with the HDR Toning editing capabilities.
Â
I have had problems before with CS6 working with 32 bit images on my Mac. It would render black within my selection. However it worked fine on Windows. In addition some who relied who also used MAC OS X 10.6.8 did it an it worked fine, however, he was using Photoshop CS6 v13.0.1 x64, while I am using v13.0.4 x64. So I think something broke in the later updates for PS CS6 for MAC. If I were to re-install Photoshop would that revert it to v13.0.1?

I just installed my CS4 Creative Suite and Photoshop immediately crashes upon making a second layer. Adobe tells me that my computer is not compatible with this version of Photshop and I have to upgrade if I want to use Photoshop. I haven't even checked if the rest of the suite is compatible, but I assume it is not. I did try to update the Adobe Updater. It says "A new version of the Adobe Update is available for intstallation. Click OK to install it now. Note: You may be required to authenticat in order to install.Â

Then it checks all the products in my Suite and returns on an endless loop to the above.

I have CS4 on my mac OS X 10.8.3. Photoshop CS4 is crashing all the time.I update it regularly.It used to crash using layers, so i changed the graphic settings as suggested in this forum, now this is ok.
Â
Now PS crashes:
- everytime i do "save for web"
- often when i work on text layers
- sometimes for nothing in particular

It is really impossible to work in this conditions.Fireworks CS4 crashes too when trying to save a file.

My problem is when I try to work with 3d workspace while using 3d feature for a particular object, it shows 3d platform and default 3d settings/ properties to that particular shape but as soon as i try to click on scene or any other property option in 3d layer menu it stops working and shows not responding error. I suspect the video card as I have only had this computer about one year and no problems with cs5. From what I can find out is that this is one of the video cards not tested by Adobe.Â
Jun 10, 2009 12:05 PM CS4 crashesI recently upgraded from Photoshop CS to CS4. I also run Elements 6. My problem: Now, Elements crashes whenever I use the edit function. CS4 allows all editing features but crashes with attempt to print. I also have a printing utility called QImage. Since installing CS4, QImage crashes with any attempt to open it. As a further "clue", attempting to print from Adobe Reader 9.1 crashes that program.
