Photoshop :: Do You Find Files "Save" All Over The Place ?
Jan 30, 2005
I am an old Doshead from way back in the '80's.
One thing that has concerned me and caused me a lot of headaches (and lost hair) over the last few years has been the seemingly erratic nature of file saving in Windows graphics programs.
As a Doshead I know directory structures quite well.
Yet often when I go to save a file in a desired folder they seem to get saved somewhere else and I have to run a search to find them which is a pain.

I start with File--> New-->default Phototshop size. Then I go to File-->Place and then look for my photo that I've left on the desktop. Here's the problem. None of the photos are dark. They're all gray in color. I've tried jpg, tif, pict, etc. but all are grayed out.

I had to rebuild my computer with new everything. I need to load CS2 back onto the "new" computer. I purchased the full program (PS7, 2003) and have upgraded since then. I DO NOT have my original program disk, just the Upgrade CS2 disk, with a valid serial number. I contacted Adobe and they told me there would be no problem as all of my purchases were on file, BUT, I needed to call Customer Service because the process is time sensitive.
I called and spoke to someone told me to do several things to make a "challenge code" appear and then he could give me a number to type in to unlock the upgrade disk so it would load this one time. He told me to browse the disk, select "Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) CS2 instmsia.exe" and the type UNLOCK=1 and press run...
it did not work; so he told me to get rid of the (R)'s, but that did not work; then he told me to put the (R)'s back in, but it did not work. If it did work, I was to type in "Control-Shift" and double click on the screen. When it didn't work, he told me to "work on it myself until I could get the challenge code and then call back?"

I am wanting to automate a process and save directly over the file I have opened and treated. Photoshop always brings up the "replace files" dialog box. Is there any way to turn this off?

I have 4.0 (yes, I know, it's old) and I have saved files in the Photoshop folder. When in Photoshop, choosing "File | Open," I don't see the files that I have saved. I know I can type in the file name but often having to look up the file name is tedious. How can I get my files to show?
And, if I go to "Open As," and try to open the file, I get a dialog box that says "Could not open C:AdobePhotoshop...

I have a picture of a cabin on a lake, I want to use this as the flash intro for a website. I would like a mist to cover the picture and then float away, and the water in the lake to "shimmer" or make it look as if it is "moving"...kind of like you were looking at a video clip, not a static picture.
Is this something I would do in any of the creative suite programs? or studio 8 programs? or is it something completely different.

I have given a disc of photos to a client that she can't access without launching Photoshop on her Mac. They were scanned by me on an Epson as jpgs, then run through Photoshop (CS1) for touch-up and resaved as jpgs by me. Now I look under "get info" and see that they are all saved as "Photoshop Jpgs". this can be a big problem, as I intend to make a lot of discs for clients in the future. I don't want to have to tell them to use "Open with" every time they want to view a photo.

At work, whenever I "save as" a jpg or tif or whatever, it just renames the extension. eg. 'Work.psd' -> 'Work.jpg'. But when I work from home, whenever I "save as" it appends "copy" to the end, which I really hate. eg. 'Work.psd' -> 'Work copy.jpg'. I know this is a trivial matter, but it puts an annoying kink in my workflow having to remove "copy" from the file name during my extremly frequent saves. I've tried to google this, but I'm at wit's end trying to find where the preference is hidden.

I'm having a heckuva hard time figuring this one out.
At the bottom of my canvas, I have a half-circle, with the curve facing up and the flat edge at the bottom border of my canvas.
At the top of my canvas, I have some text that is actually a graphic instead of text.
I'm trying to make the picture of the text curve to the same arc as the half-circle at the bottom of the canvas.

I'm created a photo of an alien boy being beamed down to someone's house in a cone of bright white light from a flying saucer, and I tried to use the "layer style" to create the glowing light effect in this cone of bright light - but somehow I'm not getting the "glow" effect that I got before. I'm stumped as to what I'm doing wrong/not doing right to produce the glow effect. In other words, the outer/inner glow effect no longer works. Can anyone please help me?

I've got a couple of actions that do various things and then as a last step do a "save as" (without a dialog). They work just fine on MOST images but on just a couple of images when they get to the "save as" step I get a dialog and the "as a copy" box is checked. It happens on the same images every time so it must be something about those particular images but I can't figure out what it is.

What is the correct way to print a 16" x 20" print on 17" x 22" paper using LR5.
In LR4, using 17" x 22" paper, I used to set the cell size to 16" x 20" and print. Doing the same thing in LR5 gives me a slightly larger print.

i am using ps cs3. i have more brushes than i can display so have created a separate brushes folder within the adobe photoshop cs3 folder. it's on the same level as the presets folder. until recently, i've been able to go to that folder from the 'load brushes' option. now, however, when i select 'load brushes' only a few folders are displayed within the adobe ps cs3 folder.
i can no longer see my brushes folder [the one that's on the same level as the presets folder]. on the screencap, you can see the brushes folder and the presets folder. i should be able to navigate to the brushes folder from within photoshop but it doesn't appear.
this is what i see within ps cs at the same level: why isn't the brushes folder showing from within ps? i've been using it for ages and suddenly it doesn't appear.

tried ejecting usb, cd, iso's, and nothing works. Photoshop worked perfect for months till today when it suddenly would notlet me open or place files. I can drag and drop and work, and sometimes it shuts down with a windows error message, but i can't open or place.

I cannot place Photoshop pdf files into InDesign CS5 after updating to LION. I get the error message "Failed to open PDF file." I've tried to save as in Acrobrat and then place, get the same message. I've opened the file in Photoshop to re save and get an error message. I can't change our workflow for just me because I'm the only one having this issue.

making a Photoshop plugin entitled "Layer History". What it does is provide History for each unique Layer (check out the pic i attached to this message). Right now i am not quite sure of its use to anyone out there and so i just wanted to ask all of you gurus what you think. I am just playing around in learning how to do plugins so dont think i am trying to go commercial or anything...please feel free to be as honest as possible! =)
Right now, i am able to capture pretty much anything about how a layer was created including brush strokes (as you can see in the snap). From there the user can move back in time by jumping to one of the previous states and modifying its content (while still maintaining later states) and thus creating a potential uniquely different compounded result. For example,i am able to say, select a brush stroke state (from the Layer History states panel --- the bottom panel of the 3 visible -- btw, the top-right two icons
toggle on/off whether the two other stacked panels which show "Snapshots" and "Folder Sets" appear as well so dont think they are on all the time...i left them on so you could see them ), and then select a different Brush type, Mode type, opacity which would automatically update the stroke inside the document to the new modifications, but also keeping the other states (possibly other brush strokes, etc) that follow it.
Right now it stores information about when the entry was made and allows for internal commenting, creating folder sets (you can select a group of states and organize them under folders for quicker access), color states based on type and by sets, reshuffle states, and modify them. Because the Layer history information can get huge (e.g. Brush strokes) i added in a compression technique while it stores Layer History information inside the PSD file (while saving) which seems to work quite nicely. Currently I also have a number of discard management options that can allow the user to select the # of states (or types of states) that can be in the window before they are discarded (or converted into a Snapshot). Notice the icon near the bottom of the pic on the left of the last "Brush Stroke" entry (its a gray arrow): Because subsequent entries may be the same e.g. multiple Brush strokes, it is able to know when more than 1 entry is of the same type and thus this icon appears to the left of the first of its type. When the
user clicks the arrow it collapses (hides) all states of that type (leaves the 1st entry though) thus clearing out space for the user inside this window. If the user clicks the collapse arrow again (now shown as an expand arrow) it re-expands the content revealing all the items of that type.
Is this program of any use to anyone? I am thinking of trashing it and moving on to another plugin...It was fun for my 1st plugin nontheless, but boy did they have a lot of bugs in the sdk. Though i actually made it compatible for photoshop 5.0,6.0, and 7.0.
When i think back about this Layer History plugin i guess no one would really find a use for it since no one has ever complained about needing one before and Actions, and History provide part of the solution.

What I mean by "Holy Grail" is that intense outer glow of crosses in religious illustrations but that looks natural in photographs. I am looking for technique, filter or third party plug in.
I have product photos to create this type of outer glow but I also want it to look natural.
I am looking for a fast, easy and adjustable way to do this -- if at all possible.

I was wondering if in Photoshop i can add a "Bullet-time effect" which was in Matrix.For example a scene which was shown in slow motion where an Agent was firing at Neo and then Neo dodged bullets and we could actually see effects produced by bullets.Maybe i need to combine some filters/layers.

I'm capturing television frames using a TV capture card, but the resulting images do not have the correct brightness/contrast and color values.
Instead of manually altering every image using trial and error, I'd like to take a "correct" source frame that I know is correctly balanced (such as a test pattern), and use it to correct my other captured images.
I've tried saving the source frame's levels and curves and then loading them into the captured frames, but this doesn't produce quite the effect I'm looking for.

I am attempting to execute a set of actions containing two "Save" commands. The first works fine while the second does not. (The destination folder is ignored and the file is saved in the same folder as the first Save.) The only difference I can see is that the second "Save" is modal and the other is not. The fact that the destination folder is contained in the action makes me think this ought to work and I'm missing something obvious.
I have a JPG of the action set but I can't see how to attach it....

I installed Adobe Design Premium Suite CS4 4 days ago in HP Compaq dc5100 SFF. I have C drive over 9GB of free space and I am running with 2GB of RAM and 2.80 GHz speed. I encounter an error message popping out in couple of minutes, when I open Photoshop each time as following The instruction at "0x1c904b6b" referenced memory "0x00000028."Â The memory could not be "read." Click OK to terminate the program The following steps I did to resolve the problem, but nothing resolved the problem1) I have increased the RAM to 2GB2) In Photoshop preferences setting, I originally had the default 50% ram given to adobe.. and then tried 75%.3) I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Design Premium Suite CS4 The error message is now recurring so that it is impossible for me to work. Any ideas to resolve this memory problem?
