I now scan an image or bring even an old one up into photoshop I am getting a little grey box in the upperleft hand corner and in it is a number 1 and some other symbol which I cannot make out. This does not happen when I bring the same images up in Paintshop or painter. I recently had to uninstall Zone Alarm and am wondering if this could have something to do with it or maybe it isn't even a PS problem but something on my computer.
View 2 Replies When I duplicate a layer, sometimes the layer will automatically duplicate as a copy within the same document, and sometimes it will open the dialog box that allows duplicating to another document.
It seems to happen randomly, on both iMacs I use, as far back as I can remember (using CS4 now).

Tech support says I am configured fine. But I need to have a compatible video card. I say based on specs it is. They say but it might not. I ask for list of "approved cards" and they can't tell me... they then tell me its Nvidia & Wacoms problem (but Autodesk works fine?) and transfer me to customer service to get me the mysterious list of approved vid cards (which I have searched for on the site - can someone point me top this?)and then cust service is reading off the side of the box "must have 1..2..8.. mb of " not even aware of what it is she is reading... then when I ask for SPECIFICS I am cut off. No call back even though she asked for my number in case we were... you know... cut...
Why is my Wacom Not working?[downloaded latest drivers and called their support] It shows up all cursor function fine, except when you try to paint... NOTHING appears. (Invisible ink, perhaps? Is this a feature?)
can I alter the BACKGROUND COLOUR from the Grey to a lighter grey as in P/Shop Album 2.00 which is just what I want..I hate the darker colour as background..I have just purchased the Elements 11.Â
View 5 Replies View Relatedas a user of pse 6 I 'm used to work with darkgrey background in the organizer.
This works perfectly for quickly assessing brightness and contrast of pictures.
In pse 10 however I could not find any button to change the preset lightgrey background colour to darkgrey.
I try to use the color grey its always redish grey and never grey.
I tried changing my color settings from photoshop but it still wont work.
I create an assembly, then a drawing from the assembly, i add a parts list and annotate everything, then include a title block. Everything looks fine. Then i print or PDF the drawing and odd circles appear which aren't present on the original drawing. They appear to be randomly positioned and don't line up with any other cylindrical feature, i cannot work out how to remove them.
I have told all non-essential layers not to print and in the PDF the circle is on the same layer as the drawing (Visible (ISO)).
I have a project containing 4 similar groups, which were mirrored and went through the "Fix Groups" error. Â I think I made them unique to avoid ungrouping. Â
The issue I'm having now is that one of these groups has a couple doors in it that once existed in the design and are now no longer necessary. Â However, they were deleted at some point, but still exist when I highlight over the group (the first attachment shows an overlapping door highlighted in red and the purple location has a set of double doors--see second attachment). Â No amount of tabbing will allow me to delete them and I can't ungroup them. Â Do I need to just start over with a similar group? Â Or can I somehow find these doors and delete them?
I am currently running Map 3D 2012 with CadWorx and I am having an issue with one of my multi tab drawings. Any object set to plot grey (any grey), that is in paper space, is plotting black only in one of my layouts. similar objects in model space and in both spaces on other layouts are all plotting accordingly.
View 0 Replies View RelatedThe problem: I am importing a PNG sequence into After Effects (CS 5.5), however AE refuses to see the Alpha channel contained within the sequence. Now before anyone jumps the gun and says, "But wait, PNG does not really support alpha, it just supports transparency!" Right, something I just learned, and still -- quite honestly -- baffles the heck out of me.
Â
But anyway, another PNG sequence exported from the exact same program, imports into After Effects just fine with an "alpha channel" and all. I double-checked, and there is NOT an option in the program to export the PNG without transparency info.
Â
Importing sample images from each sequence reveals the EXACT SAME THING ... both have transparency, but NEITHER have an alpha-channel per se.
Â
1) why in the heck AE would interpret one's transparency, and not the other?2) Is there a way to FORCE AE to see the transparency of the one?3) IF not, is there something out there that will convert the PNG's with transparency to another format (TIF, TGA, PSD) with an alpha? I just don't want to have to re-render the sequences again.Â
I have been teaching myself PS7 for last couple of years with no problems until yesterday! I have been colourizing B&W photos using Colour Balance Adjustment Layers & Selections, where the Paintbrush masks the selected area and the Eraser reveals colour. Anyway I went on to another project but when I came back to do some more colourizing I found that the Eraser & Paintbrush Tools seem to have reversed functions in Colour Balance Adjustment Layer mode ie the Paintbrush reveals the selected area & the Eraser masks it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am now trying to use photoshop CS6 3D features. And I found out that no matter what I select, the 3D menu is still grey out.
What should I do to solve this?
I see some of you said that your 3D menu is missing because of the graphic card issue. For my case, what should I do?
My setup:
Â
 AMD Phenom 9550
4GB DDR2 RAM
AMD Radeon HD4850 512MB
 Â
I sometimes have the problem(mostly when I work with a lot of files[10 to 15] or if I work with big files) that my viewport goes grey(so I can't see anything anymore). This happens when I use the type tool or when I use the transform tool. When I go out of the editing mode, everything is visible again.
Â
My settings:[URL].....
The drivers of my graphics card are up-to-date(Catalyst 12.1). The version of Photoshop that I work with is Photoshop CS5.1 Extended.
Â
I didn't have this issue a couple of years ago(when I still worked with CS3, CS4, CS5).
Â
I've googled this issue and only found people having problems with older drivers(Catalyst 11.3).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just recently got photoshop 7 and have a problem with it, I currently have PS6 installed and it runs fine. When I installed PS7 today as it was starting up after the installation it came up with a problem with my monitor I ignored it because I didnt and still dont think it is/was the problem.
The problem I have is well...pink. Everything is pink, many shades of pink, I can even get some dark purples but thats it I have no access to normal colors, even when I change the RGB settings.
I want to print my black and white image grey in order to preserve ink what should I do? I'm making stencils so using alot of black isn't necessary.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed PS7 on my laptop and when creating a new project, the defaul is sent on grey for the color, when I set it to RGB or CMYK and want to choose a color, I get the standard color box with about 20 colors instead of the color pallet I used to get.
What is the setting I'm looking for and how to I set it as the default?
I'm trying to use either the displacement or 3D rendering function in Photoshop CS to make a realistic looking tattoo on a face, but I can't get "distort" or "render" to come out of grey no matter what I do.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've found a peculiar problem with grey scale conversion in Photoshop CS5.
Â
The problem:
Â
I have black and white photos in an RGB colour space. I can't use a black and white layer adjustment because there are no color channels in the image. I used the 'image > mode> greyscale' menu item to convert to greyscale, and in photoshop there appears to be no change to the greyscale values. However, when I place the image in inDesign, it is markedly different; blacks are pure black but greys are washed out.
I print the two images side by side (RGB and greyscale) and they come out identical (though darker than I expected). Is inDesign showing RGB or Greyscale differently on screen? I have the display settings at 'high quality'.
cant remember what i did but now my colors wont come out any different than grey
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to add a color cast to a grey, contoured button shape (defined by a vector mask), by overlaying it with an adjustment layer with a solid green fill and setting the blend mode to "multiply."
Â
The shape layer has transparent pixels around the perimeter, so I would not expect a "multiply" operation to result in visible green there. But it does. That's no good. I need to export this image to a PNG with the transparency intact.
Â
I can see that the green adjustment layer has a "Color Fill 1 Mask" channel, but copying the shape layer and pasting it into that mask channel doesn't seem to work. The display shows a very thin outline of the vector shape, but I can't appear to do anything with it.
how accurate this looks, shall i go for removing the remaining text or should i generate a new background. i want an exact grey background without the text, i dont know how to work in photoshop at all[URL]...

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just installed CS4 and I now find that I canonly see a single image at a time, as there always seems otbe a big gey background surrounding the current image.

How do I make it so I can work with and see more than one image at a time?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow can I make the space between lines like the pic I attached,space them so its 5 or 6 pixels apart? It looks really bad doing it freehand,is there a way to just set the space so it looks even? And how can I add colours to the empty space? Must I use white background instead of transparent?
Final question,how can I do those grey boxes like those on URL banner. And those lines that fade out plus how can I sort of make the lines "pop-up" or have that 3d effect,sort of like emboss I guess.
I am trying to reduce the Opacity of some white text so that it looks faded. However I want the background that this appears on to be black. The problem is that it changes to grey the lower the Opacity.
I understand that this is because of the black background but can not think how to get around the problem.
