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.
This problem has happened before with CS6 but it popped up again this week during a very simple edit....and it's making me nuts. For example, I was working on a short 5-minute video with a series of short clips (XDCAM EX originally) strung together with simple titles and some Gaussian blurs dropped onto short title card clips. After a few minutes of "normal" response from my Mac Pro (3,1 Dual QuadCore, 16 GB RAM), the program will stop responding to keyboard commands such as Play and Stop via the Spacebar. If I happen to go up to the Menu Bar and click on one of the pulldown Menu items, the pulldown will only be visible as long as I keep the mouse key depressed. When I release the button, the Menu disappears.

They have a lot of lofts, variable radius curves, fillets, etc. Anyway, on the more complex pieces, my menus start to dissapear or a dialog box, for example the fillet dialog box, will turn solid black and my system will hangup for a minute while executing the command. Am I running low on system memory or is this a video card issue? Here are my system specs:

When I ran Photoshop Extended (full) on my computer, it ran perfectly. But now that I purchased Elements 11, lag when moving the cursor through drop down menus. The cursor freezes up for a split second while I'm going through them, and does so repeatedly. I have the latest drivers for my graphics card. It's an AMD firepro 8900. I have an i7 with 16GB of ram. I'm on windows 7.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy photoshop elements 11 seems to be completly screwed up. The brush tools and/or healing tools that normally bring up a tool menu at the bottom of the screen have only half of the box visible. I cannot change the options because only half the box is shown or none of the options are visible. Its like only part of the code loaded what is spposed to appear.
The side menu is also missing parts in the very bottom left corner.It seems like it has something to do with the screen resolution on my macbook. But this is the only program that has the problem.
I have a retna display macbook 11.I am so frustrated with PE 11, and do not understand why everyone thinks itis so fantastic.
I need assistance. How doI change the font size or sizes of menu options on photoshop elements 9 so I can see to use the program, everything is so tiny, even the X's to close out the program.

All other funtions seem to be ok, I run win XP I thought that the reinstall would cure but no how can this be is it a fault with the programme? I have been using Elements since version 4, this is the first time I have had such a problem.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have PSE11 on my old Windows XP computer. I have installed it also on my new Windows7 computer and hoped it would be easy to transfer the photos by backup/restore via an external hard drive.
When I try to restore a backup on to the new computer, no tly file is found. When I then look at that backup folder in Windows explorer the .tly file is absent. I tried again with an older backup, checking first that a tly file had was present, by looking on the old computer with Windows explorer. Looking with explorer on the new computer - no .tly file. Looking again with explorer on the old computer, the .tly file is gone!
I am completely mystified. I dont't want to keep trying as each successive backup is older. If the .tly files are gone, I assume the backup becomes useless.

I've just bought Photoshop CS5 to stay on the upgrade path. In designing (or redesigning) the interface for CS5 and Adobe Camera Raw something seems to have gone awry.
Overlong Menus..Compared to CS4 two of Photoshop CS5's menus have lengthened so that they no longer fit on the screen of my MacBook Pro – the Edit and Layers menus. Thus, the bottom of the menu is off the bottom of the screen (or the top, if you are at the bottom of the menu). Now, it is true that the Edit menu has two more items (32 instead of 30) but the Layers menu has the same number (29 items). In CS5 all the menu text items are more widely vertically spaced leading (pun not intended) to this problem on a MacBook Pro.
The CS4 menus were perfectly legible before so why do this ? What purpose does it serve ?
ACR Disappearing Into the Dock:And using Adobe Camera Raw has a similar problem in that the the ACR window disappears into the Dock at the bottom of the screen. Now I've read Jeff Schewe's response to this in another post where he seems to think that those who use the Dock are in some way mentally deficient (I'm exaggerating to make a point) but, Jeff, some of us like the Dock and find its presence at the bottom of our screens reassuring and useful. BTW, Jeff, removing the Dock doesn't solve the CS5 menu problem. Seems to me to be sloppy design.
What would be better would be to ensure that the scale of the interfaces fits on our screens, would it not ?
Having felt I've been coerced into an early and expensive upgrade by Adobe to stay on the upgrade path is it not unreasonable to expect better?
I just recently reinstalled CS3 on a new computer, and I noticed some things are different from the other CS3 I had installed.
The most annoying thing I noticed is when I left click on one of the toolbar icons (e.g Rectangular Marquee Tool) I get a drop down box showing the other Marquee tools, as if I right clicked it.
I just want to be able to left click and select the active tool, not be bugged to choose which tool every time I click a tool with a drop down list..
I was wondering if it is possible to do drop down navigation menus in PS? The kind where when you move your mouse over a rectangle navbar link another rectangle navbar opens up beside this one with a list of relevant links.
Can this be done in PS as a sort of rollover in image ready perhaps? Could you just create the second navbar and have it hidden in the normal state but visible in the rollover state? Or is there a better way to do this?
I'm trying to make a drop down menu (er...drop side menu) all in Imageready. I made the main button and when you rollover it the side menu comes out but then when I try to click on one f theside menu slices they disappear. They dissapear because in the main button slice, i have them appear on the over state and dissapear on the out state. Is there a way to get them to work? Sorry if this is a little confusing. The only reason that I'm not following pank's tutorial is because I don'y have dreamweaver so I can't make layers like he said.

I got close to the fire and realized that it was burning out of control with information I don?t currently possess. I want to create functional and appealing drop down menus without having to use much if at all possible no java script. I know you can accomplish this with style sheets but the problem is I don?t yet know how.
What I would ultimately like to accomplish is a horizontal drop down menu with multiple sub menus.
I just clean-installed PS CS6, previously coming from heavy PS CS4 experience. I extensively use tab to go to full screen for optimal viewing conditions, and I also used alt+key combinations to access the menus via keyboard and edit while in full screen. CS6 no longer allows me to do this. Is this a new limitation of CS6? Is there a way to make ALT+key menu access work again? since the tab fullscreen view is something I use very very often for undistracted analysis of my work.

1. When you go to save as the file formats selections are not what you get. For instance jpeg gives you EPS. Multi Picture Format gives you jpeg. What gives?
2. One of the plugins that worked fine under filters is missing. When I copied the things from the old CS5 plugins folder to CS6 folder it still is not showing up..
I just installed PS6 and it looks awesome! Everything works fine, no issues processing photos so far. Only problem is that my drop down menus for the menu bar are blacked out with grey text. Some options don't even have the text. When I hover with my mouse, it does show the item with a blue hover background, but aside from that, nothing.

In CS4 when I scroll down items under a menu - eg Filter - last filter, convert to Smart Filters, Extract, Filter Gallery they all disappear from my screen - there just remains a blank screen under the menu filter. If I move out of it - say go to File then back to filter they are all there - until I scroll down again.
View 6 Replies View Relatedwhen I open images in photoshop, they open in the upper left corner on top of the file menus. I have to drag them into the work area one by one before I can do anything. How annoying!
I cannot figure out what is causing this. I did not change any settings (that I am aware of).
This happened once before about a year ago.... don't remember what I did to correct it then... I thought maybe I just did a reboot - but I've done that today to no avail.
I use dual monitors. All toolboxes are on the right monitor and images should (and usually do) open on the left - under the menu bar and just right of the Tool bar.
After updating to 9.01, menus require an extra click to regain focus from non-maximized document windows. In other words, if I use a tool directly on a non-maximized image, I must then click twice on File, Edit, Layer, etc., before a menu drops down. (Specifically, the first click has to land somewhere on the main PS title/menu bar to return focus to the menu bar; toolbars don't count.) The double-clicking gets old fast.
There's no similar behavior in reverse, when applying a tool after a menu command. If the document window is maximized, menus pop open instantly as expected.
Is this extra click a "feature" that didn't make the list of changes? : I don't see a bug report section anywhere,
I'm having trouble with Photoshop CS6 in Mavericks. After a working a little while, all pop up/drop down menus goes blank. They still work, but I can't see what's on them. Even the Apple menu bar is afflicted by this, though only when Photoshop is in the front.
PS: I do use a cintiq on a 2012 Macbook Pro 15" with retina display.
I can no longer read the preference menus as all the backgrounds have turned black. The text font does not show up.
I can't work out how to change the background to grey so I can read the text (or the text to grey). Problem occurred when I loaded lightroom 4, didn't correct itself when I loaded CS6
