Photoshop :: Disappearing Act?!
Sep 13, 2004
My plug-ins are disappearing...Just gone. I can't find them anywhere. Artistic - gone. Textures - gone. Not sure what's going on here... Is there any way to restore the factory default plug-ins w/o reinstalling PS altogether?

I've been working with psd files in CS4 and after saving once, everything seems normal. After working on a file more and trying to save, I get a message that it can't be saved because the file name is not valid. If I close the file without saving and try to reopen, it says I don't have permission to open the file. I've tried doing a SaveAs under a different name with same results. Even worse is that the files I thought I had saved previously simply disappear from the folder they were in if I do the SaveAs step under a similar, but different name (like adding -1 to the name.) They don't appear anywhere on the computer that I can find. I'm running an up-to-date Windows 7, 64-bit. CS4 also is a current 64-bit.

I thought it was just the comp setup of some of my buddies, but I'm getting the same thing occasionally. It's kinda hard to repeat, but it Is repeatable.
It's simple. just open a decent sized file, mine right now is 5000x5000, select the brush tool and press the bracket key rapidly to change the size of the brush.
It might take a few times for it to actually disappear, but the mouse eventually should disappear anytime it's over the photoshop window. It shows up over tools and the file menu, but that's it. You can still paint, but it's Really hard to do when you can't see where the stroke is going to begin.
If it makes a diff...Photoshop has the file open and is taking 400MB of mem. Doesn't even seem high. Usually when this happens it's on a file with Way more layers and is taking something closer to 2GB of memory.

I've just installed Photoshop CS, and the filter for brush strokes, sketch, texture, and video are all greyed out - I can't access them. What's going on?

when you go to "Features" you should see a big Mondera banner at the bottom of the page but for some reason it does not show up:
As you can see the image clearly shows up on my computer.
I just deleted the old site online and uploaded the local site again
just in case.
I also deleted the IE cache just in case. Still can't see the Mondera banner.

trying to create reflections that end up "dissapearing" (like you can see in the attachment). i´ve tried EVERYTHING, playing around with the gradient overlay but the image always seems to dissapear either at the left or the right, not at the bottom,

I'll put them in the presets>>brushes folder, but when i go into Photoshop, they're not there. BUT! When I go to add a new brush through Photoshop, the file is there and I can click on it and it will load under whatever brushes I was using. They're just not showing up.
Is there some limit I dont know about?
Also, my blendings not working when i try to blend layers with a gradient. Say i were to put to pictures on a new file. I'd do a layer blend so the line inbetween them isn't so harsh. But instead of doing that, it just does the actual gradient (the colours are black and white).

whenever I'm doing certain things in CS2 now all of my palettes are temporarily disappearing. I can bring them back by clicking anywhere in the blank workspace, but I'm not sure what's caused this. As the most simple example, I can reset all palettes to their default positions and reset to the default workspace. I then open an image, go to levels adjustment, cancel whatever change I might make, and all of the palettes disappear. Also, all of my palettes are floating within the main CS2 window. That is, if I want to move the whole PS2 window around my monitor, I'm having to deal with each palette and main menu separately. I'll bet all of this is a simple thing to reset, but I haven't found what's going on yet.

I'm wondering about the dots that disappear here. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this is called, so i could look up a tutorial on it or how it's done or just some leads.

I'm trying to make a simple 3D extrusion of the text in a logo (Yep, freshly made text layer, so no it's not text within a png image or anything! I may be a noob, but I'm not flat out stupid! ). I know how to do it and all that stuff but occasionally when I come to do this in PS, the option just no longer seems to be available! I'm using the Extended version as provided via the Creative Cloud and I HAVE successfully made 3D extrusions in the past (made a 3D logo last night actually), and I've been through preferences etc. so it's not as if suddenly PS has opted not to use my graphics card or anything silly like that.
Â
In this particular case, I made my text, went to make a 3D extrusion, then realised I needed to rotate the text a little, so backed out and did my rotation - when I went back to the 3D menu, NOPE, not an option.
Â
Have I still got the 3D grid and pop-up running somewhere but just haven't clicked back to it?why I can no longer select it as an option? how to get the option for 3D extrusions back?

I am running a windows Vista 32Bit software. I just decide to finally use my cs6Â photoshop and when i try to open an image in photoshop the board remains blank but the layer panel says there is an image and shows a preview of the image like it normally does in the layer panel. Everything else works fine but the image won't show at all.

I'm working on a 3D file at the moment with a free 3D robot I sourced from Turbosquid (I created a new head etc for it) and all is fine, renders fine and looks good.
Â
However, now I want to make some adjustments, and also isolate the robot on it's own for a separate file, but as soon as I edit anything on the PSD I lose all sight of the robots body and arms!!

I've got this problem where my text is dissapearing when I export a .PDF from PS. Some of the text dissapears and some is white with a thin outline (although it should just be solid black). I've read other things online from people with this problem but none of the solutions work for me. If I rasterise the text it works - but i don't want it rasterised.
- I'm not using Faux Bold or other effects
- I've tried with different fonts including Arial and Helvetica
- Tried changing the colour slightly
- Tried changing opacity slightly
- opened a new document with only text and it still does it.
Â
I think it is only happening when i use a text box (dragging the text tool to make box rather than a single click)I've got Creative Cloud and PS is up to date. Working on a rMBPÂ OSX10.8.4

I am finding it very annoying that after i use curves the palette does not dissappear and I have to maually click to get rid of. On my large screen at home this is fine but I work in a college with small monitirs and its very frustrating indeed. Work around or am I just being dim? this only happens in PS6 not 5.

I currently updated the operating system for my Mac OSX, and I believe this is where the issues are stemming from.
Â
I've been working in CS5 using a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet along with the stylus pen. Recently when I am working in CS5 I've noticed that while using the brush tool the little "dot" tends to dissapear while painting. This also happens if I use a short cut ie. brush tool/command key/eyedropper. The only way for the "dot" to return is either to move the pen around the screen, clicking on things until it reappears OR using the magic mouse, but sometimes this doesn't work either.
Â
I am not very knowledgable in Mac or CS5, and I have tried resetting some of the controls, but nothing seems to be working.

I have used lighting effects in PS CS6 for a few months with no issues. Tonight the effect works just fine until I click "OK" to apply it. At that point the lighting effects I have developed disappear from the layer. I tried closing and reopening PS as well as restarting my computer.

I just downloaded the CS3 beta, which is awesome, since I'm using a MacBook and CS was slow.
I have noticed something very peculiar and annoying, however: when I use the paintbrush tool, the cursor disappears when I hover the cursor over the canvas. This makes it almost impossible to use my brand new Graphire pad.

Somehow the circle that shows how big the brush is has disappeared. All I get now is a crosshair where the mouse is. Is there a setting somewhere that My kids have changed?

I have photoshop CS4 running with NVIDIA graphics cards on both my desktop PC and Laptop running Windows XP Pro 32 bit. When I use any of the brush, erase, etc tools as the brush enlarges it slowly starts to disappear. When the tool is very large it totally disappears. I was given a suggestion earlier in this forum to update the NVIDIA drivers which I did and this fixed the problem until I had to uninstall photoshop and reinstall it. Now I have the problem back again and can't seem to fix it. I tried reinstalling the drivers but this did not help.
With regard to my laptop I am using a newish Hewlett Packard Mobile Workstation model Compaq 5810w. I have tried to update the drivers for the NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M card but the NVIDIA websites says that for laptops the drivers are supplied by the manufactuer of the laptop - I have tried HP.

I opened up a few files in Photoshop 7, and when I was done working on them, they wouldn't save saying they were locked. I closed the files without saving them, and then selected them in the folder, right clicked, went to properties, and unchecked "read only." I was able to work on them and save them after that, but then I noticed they had disappeared from the folder. I have gone to folder options and checked "show hidden files." I have searched for them. When I click on the shortcut for them, it says the file is no longer there and it is not in my recycle bin. Have I lost these files for good?

When I go to a pull down menu i.e. File>Open>

After I choose open the pop-up menu appears and then disappears too fast for me to click on it.The program thinks the window is still open and is waiting for me to make a selection, so none of the options in any other other pull down menus are highlighted. I have to forgce quit the program.

I work at a newspaper and I use the IPTC section in file info all the time. After upgrading to CS6, nearly half of the time time the information I put in disappears after I save the photo. I use a Nikon D7000 and my OS is Microsoft Windows 7.

When I first launch Photoshop and load a preset layer style I can get a full list of available presets to load. After clicking on an element and actually using a layer style on it I no longer can get my full list of available presets to load. The list is cut to 1/3 of the original list.
Â
So the full list is available and in the folder but once using a layer style it seems most of the layers styles disappear from the load menu. I have had no problem with this for months and made no changes over the last few days so this is mind boggling.

I have a problem with the “Save for the Web” results using Photoshop CS6 running on Win 7 x64.
Â
My photos are already in 8 bits and in sRGB and when I save for the Web I check the option “embed color profile”, uncheck “convert to sRGB”, metadata to “copyright and contact info”.
When I open the resulting photos in Photoshop, everything is fine as it recognizes the embedded color profile. Same thing when I open these files in Firefox, Safari or Chrome: the colors are correct.
Â
Now, when I right-click on a file in the Win Explorer and look its properties, the line about the color profile is blank, as if there wasn't any. This doesn't bother me but the problem appears on my Website created with Joomla and using for the display a module, Responsive Image Gallery, which creates resized copies of the photos. At this point the copies have completely lost their color profile. I entered in contact with the module's support and they assured me that it preserves the embedded profile, so I come here to gather some information about how this “Save for the Web” embeds the color profile because may be I just didn't understand how it does and if it's different from the “Save as” way.
Â
The fact I can't see the profile through the Win Explorer makes me think Joomla's module doesn't either.

Photoshop CC, on my MacBook Pro Retina (Iris Graphics). The text disappears, erases basically, whenever I change the font or size. Every single action with text I have to undo. Change font, disappears/erases, undo etc. Happens regardless what font or size.
Â
Also the performance is very poor, doubting it's optimised for Mavericks.

I'm a relative newbie to Photoshop and recently upgraded from 5.5 -> 6.0 (yep I'm new and already behind ). For some reason the Paint Bucket tool does not show up in the Toolbox and I can't figure how to find it. I know its still there because its in the help and I tried all the Shortcuts trying to make it show up but no good. Any ideas how to find the Paint Bucket tool and better yet how do I make it permanent part of the Toolbox again.
