PSE 10 often puts finished work into unavailable formats, worst of all "File."Windows 7.And is PSE 10 outdated, as I've been told, and do I have to keep upgrading each time a newer version comes out?
View 1 RepliesI just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CS6 and noticed that I had an extremely reduced choice of file extensions at the moment I wanted to save my work. In fact, I wanted to save it in .tga, but the option disappeared from the list. The PSD file I want to save only has 4 layers, 3 of which use an alpha channel; the 4th being a plain black background.
And the weirdest thing is that when I create a new, empty file, I can save it as a .tga image, along with a lot of other extensions that disappeared for the other image. Like, I can't even save my first pic in BMP. I only can use PNG, JPG, CIN, IFF, TIFF, and 2 or 3 others. Oh and by the way, it's the x64 version. But it does the same thing with the x32 one. I tried already.
I've just purchased a NAS hard drive system to basically transfer and store my 'finished' work from Lightroom and Photoshop. In reading the manual for Lightroom, am I correct in thinking that the NAS server cannot be a 'catalog' ?? I basically just want to correctly transfer across my finished files for storage there rather than on my main computer hard drive - and hence free up space on main computer. I'm just not sure of the process in how to go about this correctly? I still want to be able to access these finished files in case I need to revist something - but happy for them to be off the main computer?

I cannot uncheck "Constrain proportions," and have no way to change the size of photos. If I change the dimensions, the resolution changes in proportion. I am perplexed and at a standstill since this is a critical function.

After selecting the menu command file-->picture package ..., in the appearing dialogue I can only see American page formats in inches. How can I switch to German formats like DIN A4 in centimeters? I tried "Adjust page ..." (don't know the exact English menu command translation for "Seite einrichten ..."), there the German format "A4" is correctly selected.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've purchased full extended master collection and had my 3D option work just fine.
I've recently updated all softwares and now that I go access my 3D it won't let me.
I previously had a few CS5 apps installed. They were volume license versions of some sort available through the school I was working at. (I don't know the details of the installation — the school network guys did it for me.) In these apps, the Update command was also unavailable ... I sort of assumed it was something odd with the install (maybe the update manager was not included) so I downloaded and installed updates manually from Adobe.com.
I have since left the school and dumped the apps. I just picked up a personal copy of Photoshop CS6. I find that the "Updates" command is still unavailable, but this is a regular install so I am crying foul.
I found this page about disabling the update manager for CS5 and CS6. I checked and sure enough I had a copy of AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat with updates suppressed, as mentioned in the article. Must be left over from my previous CS5 install, as I sure have never touched that file myself. However, upon removing it, my "Updates" command is still not available.
Is there some other way that updates can be disabled that I have not found yet? Is there a way to launch the update manager outside of the application?
Suddenly I get the Message: Command "Batch" is currently unavailable. I have CS6 Creative Cloud single-app membership.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSuddenly when I select multiple images in Bridge, then go to Tools>Photoshop>Batch, I get the message "The command "Batch" is currently unavailable." Batch is also greyed out in Automate. This occurs when no other processes are happening. What could it be? Batch command has always worked fine in the past.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently thought it would be nice to generate some 'pencil sketch' filtered images for a project, but when I looked at an image (.psd) to manipulate, the option was grayed out. CS5 has been a great tool for me and I usually upgrade every other version release, so CS7 would be my next upgrade.

I cannot figure this out and am having trouble looking up an answer:
Sometimes when I have a file open in CS3, dropdown options are unavailable. for instance, I have a tiff open and the "texture" filter option (amongst others) is unavailable to click.
I'm working with an exported jpeg from SketchUp and no matter what layer I'm on, nor what mode I'm in, or what tool I choose...Free Transform and Transform seem to be forever greyed out.

When trying to run some actions, I get this error message in PS CS4:

I'm working in CS3. I have created a multi-layered image. Now, I want to go back to one layer and begin editing in vanishing point. But, when I'm in that layer, vanishing point is greyed out in the filters drop down. What's my problem and how do I get on the right track?

not be able to go on to something else in a project because I have lines trailing behind my cursor, forcing me to use the undo key or to choose a different, less intrusive tool. Small problem I know, but this has kept me stuck for two days. I did find an answer for an older version that involved about 4 or 5 steps, which I found incredulous, since all I have to do is click once to select a tool. Anyway, the instructions didn't match my version (2.8.4) I hope the answer turns out to be simple, and does not involve multiple steps, because I use the tools a LOT.

I did this now just PS will not work. Under the window on performance it says "Graphics Hardware Acceleration unavailable upgrade video driver & possible video card". The only thing I can find in the hardware for video is Intel (R) G41 Express Chipset (Intel GMA 4500). I upgraded the driver and I still get a fuzzy screen with artifact everywhere. This is on a desktop computer with an LED monitor.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen my system crashed I had to upgrade from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7. Trying to reinstall I found that CS2 is no longer supported.
After I jumped through the necessary hoops I was able to re-install CS2. It worked OK for a while, but now I find that the nested tools in the toolbox are unavailable.
Up to 2 days ago I had ATI Catalyst 12.2 installed. I was able to check all the boxes in the Advanced Graphics Processor Settings dialog and they stayed set. Specifically, I had [ ] Use OpenCL set and Photoshop CS6 worked very well.
Because I need to know about the quality of newer drivers for my own product development, I upgraded my ATI driver suite to the current version - Catalyst 12.4.
Unfortunately, this caused new problems I hadn't had before - specifically a number of GPU-accelerated features didn't work, such as Oil Paint, which would appear to try to start then just exit a split second later. And with Catalyst 12.4 the [ ] Use OpenCL setting became unavailable (grayed-out).
With my own testing done, I decided to completely uninstall the ATI Catalyst 12.4 suite, and drop back to Catalyst 12.2.
This was a simple matter of uninstalling everything AMD then rebooting (with the Windows driver), then installing Catalyst 12.2. That went smoothly. However, now I still do not find the [ ] Use OpenCL box has become available again - it's grayed out:
there are no remnants from the 12.4 drivers left on my system (though there's a possibility I could have missed something), and everything from the 12.2 set installed successfully, so the question is this:
Did Photoshop sense something about the 12.4 driver set, then set some kind of permanent "No OpenCL" flag in its own configuration settings? Here's my system info with the 12.2 drivers installed. Note the "OpenCL: Unavailable" entry. URL....
Note that all my GPU-accelerated features seem to work... Oil Paint works and is plenty fast, the various Blur tools work nice and fast, I can do 3D rendering (though there's one small glitch I've had since Photoshop CS6 was released where occasionally it becomes unresponsive for a few seconds at a time while doing 3D work). But it does finally respond.
I see this freqeuently when I play my actions.
Right now all my adjustment layer actions wont work.
Then sometimes it works later. what is this?
I have an assembly with approx. 200 unique parts. Most of them derrived from a common skeleton-file. And some (you could say a lot) iLogic code.
Depending on how big changes one makes, it takes between 10 sec and 60 sec to update. Considering the complexity this is ok.
But the problem is that it is difficult for the user to tell if the update is complete. I have tried to have the last line in my driving rule to show a messagebox: "Updating done". But the messagebox fires to early, and pauses the remaining updating. Even if I call InventorVb.Rebuild and/or ThisDoc.Document.Rebuild in advance.
