Photoshop :: Getting New Color Range Selection Function To Work On Retina MacBook Pro
Jan 2, 2013
Is there a trick to getting the new Color Range selection function to work on a retina Mac Book Pro? I am quite familiar with the color range selection in the previous version of Photoshop, and used it regularly. I've decided to try as simply as possible by using a flat image (no layers), and trying to select colors. I've increased the contrast in the image to make dark and lights much easier to pull out.
I've explored setting the sample size to point-sample up to 3x3, and 5x5. I've also set the resolution of my display to 2880 x 1800 (to reduce the possibility of anti-aliasing problems). It will not make any selection though, using the eye-dropper sample. Using other options will work, such as Highlights, Shadows, Skin Tones, etc., but it won't do anything with Sampled Colors.
I am thinking of buying a Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
I am wondering if Photoshop Elements 11 will work OK with this as I have heard there is a problem. how to make them compatible. I really don't need anything more complicated than elements for what I do so don't want to spend out on one of the CS programmes.
I installed CS6 Design Standard (perpetual license) on my Retina 15 inch Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.2) today.
Ran a couple of updates after the installation but no retina update for AI or PS among them.After a quick google search I read I had to manually update the Application Manager. Done that. Finds update for AI & PS. AI is now v. 16.0.3 and retina, PS is now v. 13.0.3 but NOT retina.Afterwards I downloaded the 13.0.3 patch but this didn't change anything.I uninstalled PS (+ removed preferences) with the Adobe Uninstaller. Reinstalled it and ran al updates, Application Manager finds 13.0.3 update again, runs the update and it is still not retina. It blows my mind how many steps, google searches, manual updates, patches it takes to update AI & PS "properly" and apparently it still does not work for PS.
Is there a way to select pixels in Photoshop based on given Lab values? I am using Select --> Color Range with a specified "fuzziness" threshold, but I'd rather make the selection based on specific Lab values instead of random pixels that I choose with my eye dropper. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop, or does anyone know of a plug-in that might do this?
I have buyed a Macbook Pro Retina, on Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and when i've tried to open a .psd with photoshop i can't do anything, the interface just froze.I've tried the latest version, by downloading it right from Adobe's web site, but the issues were still there. The most awkward part is, the previous version work nice, CS4 and CS5 are working great so far, only the latest doesn't work, i've took screenshot and video..The probleme appear when i try to create a document or open an odl one, i juste can't use photoshop CS6 on MacbookPro Retina.t
So recently I bought a macbook pro retina 15' for mobility purposes and for the color quality. I've heard good things that come out of production on it to begin with but when I got my hands on photoshop cs6, nothing but brush lag ensues.
The issue often happens when I zoom in to do minor details or using a brush larger than 500 pixels. It's not productive to do a stroke and have the program take a while to recognize the stroke before it appears. I believe that being a Macbook Pro owner, I should have met the requirements. Also I do notice this problem occuring on other high-end non apple computers such as asus. I find it quite a joke and I do honestly believe it's on adobe's end. Even my old Hp pavillion runs photoshop cs5 just fine.

I have a problem with CS3. Since a few weeks I can't use properly "Colour Range" feature. Especially for bright colour the Colour Range doesn't select what I want to select. For example I want to select a bright cloud and can't select it with Colour Range. Of course I checked if there is any information or I have a burn area. I use several different setting but I still have the problem.
I used 8/16 bit, Adobe RGB/sRGB At Colour Range I use: - Sampled colours - Selection - Fuzziness: how much I need it - Selection preview: None
I am a graphic designer looking to make the leap to a MacBook Pro with Retina. My question is this... Can you view/design in a mode or setting that is representative of a typical non-retina display? I occasionally work remotely and would not always have the option of a second display to preview graphics.
Can an accurate representation of designing for 1x be achieved with only the MacBook Pro with Retina (pixel perfect at 1x)? My impulse would be that it would all be a matter of how the file was set up but I have yet to find any definitive answer.
I often work from existing screenshots in Photoshop. Many times I will use an existing screenshot as a background layer and build new art on top for a quick mock up. Will this be possible?
Just bought a new Retina Macbook pro and trying to install CS3... the program from my old Macbook would not work when moved to the new one. I have the original disc but this will not work on new Macbooks without a drive.
Everytime I use Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) on my MacBook Pro with Retina display (OS X 10.8.2, 2.6GHz Intel Core i7), the software randomly keeps on crashing without warning. There is no specific thing that I do that makes it crash. I just edit an image like I usually do on Photoshop such as moving objects, creating new layers, and clicking on different sets of tools and the program crashes.
I haven't done much work on it recently but I sometimes also had trouble saving Photoshop files. I don't remember exactly but whenever I save, a error message pops up and tells me that I cannot save the file; saving with a different file name works but I have to constantly make "file1.psd, file2.psd, file3.psd" to aviod the error message.
I haven't tried out my other CS4 Web Preimium softwares on my new MacBook yet and don't have the install disk for it right now since I forgot to bring it with me to study abroad so I can't try reinstalling it.
I have a trial version of C6. When sending a file from Lightroom 4.3 beta into CS6 when I have to clone in some wood panels in a background, I'm crashing. I'm using latest Mac Mountain Lion on a MBP Retina screen. I've uploaded the patch for CS6 and applied it.
i can't find a way to change opacity by taping numbers on my Macbook Pro Retina (French version AZERTY).I think the problem comes from the fact that i don't have a numeric keypad.For instance, on the brush tool, if i enter 1 (by pressing shift+&), i change the flow to 10% and so on, but i didn't find a shortcut to change the opacity.On the move tool, if i enter 1 (by pressing shift+&), the opacity of the active layer don't change.
I heard that the After Effects UI isnt compatible with the Retina display of the 15 inch Retina Macbook Pro. Is there a way to change the resolution to enable the UI to appear sharp? Are there any plug-ins or workarounds to alleviate the non-compatibilty? I'm asking this question because After Effects is the main application I want to be using.
I'm running the latest version of Cuda, Premeire Pro CS6 has been updated but my renderer options in Project settings has been greyed out and I'm stuck using "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only".
One of the plugins I use in Premiere (FilmConvert) is using OpenCL fine, but Premiere doesan't seem to reconise it.
Is there any way in Elements 9 to convert a color or color range to "transparent"? I want to change a white background of an imported image (a map) to transparent so only the non-white objects (lines and shapes) are present. The image is way too complex to select each area individually.
If I have elements on separate levels and I use the colour range option to select the area, it works on all the levels, not just the level I have selected. That's not what I want! I only want it to select the colour range on that one level. The work around is to manually turn off other levels, but on a file with lots of levels, that can be tedious. Can this be avoided? Incidentally, magic wand works only on the selected level, but not colour range (or color range, if you are American).
I have two contiguous clips in the timeline. I want to select the tail of the first one and the head of the second one to copy and paste somewhere else. With this tool, I can click and drag to select any segment of any number of clips, regardless of their in/out points.
When I create a pdf and choose 'selection' in the 'Export range' they always end up with a white box around them. See sample attached. This did not happen to me with X3, why now with X5? Will this white box be there when it goes to print?
I can use the font scrolling in illustrator, this works on a desktop mac. but can't seem to get it to work. tried unchecking enable missing glyph protection. and still doesn't work. What can I do to fix it, i know this works on mac but somehow my laptop wont work.
I'm new to animation, but have recently taught myself Edge Animate.
How can I make sure everything works with devices that have Retina Displays?Do I set up two animations or is there some code I need to add to show the retina image when the device warrants? Should the retina images be 144ppi and the others be 72ppi?
