Just realised that most of my filters have disapeared since trying to update to 14.1.2.  The update has failed several times, and I now get a 'There is a problem with Generator' message every time I start Photoshop.
View 8 RepliesI am running Photoshop CS6 64 bit on a Windows 7 machine with a quad i& Intel processor and 12 GB RAM.Everything ran perfectly until I installed the latest updates. I got a message that the update failed, the code brought me to update my Application Manager, which I did. Now the manager tells me that my Photoshop is up to date. BUT whenever I try to use one of the filters in like the vanishing point, lens correction, liquify, Photoshop stops working and crashes. Also the filter to process images in Camera Raw is not showing (I do not know if this one is included in the update though or is only CC). The rest of the filters like blur, noise etc. work normally.
Â
I figured that my installation somehow became corrupt and try to re-install, but get that message that Photoshop CS6 is already installed.
I am trying to edit a JPEG. It is one layer. My mode is Normal with 100% opacity, 100% fill. The layer is not locked.
I can use several tools including move, magic wand, paint bucket, crop. However, I cannot use the eraser, paintbrush, healing tool, clone stamp (which is the one I desperately need to use) or many others.

When the modify dimensions box is open, the 'roundoff' menu gives me 1/16", 1/8" etc, even when DECIMAL is selected as the unit format.
This wasn't happening earlier, not sure what's going on. [in fact in a solved problem from earlier, a colleague found a drawing that had units set to millimeters, had its insertion scale set to inches! Different computer, so not related].
I have hardly ever used filters for any of my work as I have preferred using Xara's native tools and effects to get what I wanted. But recently, I was inspired by some animation work which used backgrounds painted in Photoshop. They used a lot of textures which enhanced the look of the animation and so I thought I'd try to simulate it within Xara.
It works very well and I can export it as a PSD retaining the layers and Alpha channel. But here come my questions.
1. How can I remove the two Alien Skin demo plugins as I already have the full versions.
2. Why don't the native Photoshop plugins--Artistic, Sketch, etc.--seem to work?
In CS3 you could change something to make all filters act like smart filters, even though they won't. I found this worked very well, now I have CS4 and would like to do the same but can't remember what to do to make it work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on a dormitory project and need to provide a required light and ventilation schedule. I have figured out how to create a schedule for each level, but I want to isolate only the Dormitories and the Kitchenette (weed out all the other rooms such as corridor, elevator, storage, toilets, showers, stairs, trash, electrical, etc.).
Â
I tried using seclusion filters, but there are too many items to exclude and cannot fit them all into the 4 filter categories.  I am trying to just get the rooms that begin with 'D' and 'K'. I tried providing the variable 'Begins With' for D and in the next line 'Begins With' K, but then nothing shows up.
Â
Is there a way to provide information to the filter that would allow it to show only rooms beginning with D AND K? I cannot seem to get it to work. I have been playing around with separation values within one filter category (i.e. 'Begins With' D, K) but apparently you cannot add multiple variables within one of the filter items.

I made a change to my materials library. Â I changed the color (from dark grey to light grey) of one material. Â I then saved this back to my library.
Now, when I start a new part, I get a warning that the material does not match the library. Â So, rather than using the material in the part, I opened the template and updated the material to match the library. (Manage >Update Styles).
This is where the problems come into play. In the update styles dialog, if I compare materials against my custom materials and then compare it to my Favorites, it just a continuious circle. Â It is like the favorites are stored inside the part and do not get updated to match the custom materials library. (I thought the whole idea behind using a library was to get the information out of the parts).
Here is a short video showing what it does. [URL] .....
The only way I can get the favorites to match is to delete the favorite material, update the style and the add the favorite back in. Â That is a bunch of work. Â The problem I got with this is that there are thousands of parts that have been created that has this favorite in it. Â The only way to update these is to open each part (if I knew which one), delete the favorite, update the materials and then add the favorite back in.
I see the same thing in 2013 and 2014.

I would like to take face pictures and split the faces in half. After that, I would like to use the left side of the face and match it to the reverse left side face together(having 2 left sides which will look like a normal face after the 2 sides will be brought together).
So:
1. picture of a human face (head)
2. slipt the face in half
3. remove the right side
4. highlight the left side and make a reverse image
5. put together the real left side and the reverse left side in one face
How that is possible with Photoshop?
I have PS, AI and ID. Any good place that i can get generating a vector based half tone generator from an image. the idea is that i will mill this out of solid material. ideally i would like to control the size, type (circles, ellipses, squares or whatever) and arrangement of the results.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am making an image to be screen printed. In the background theres a moon in a very dark sky. The moon is going to be white, with a greenish gradient glow (circle shaped) around it, fading into darkness in the rest of the sky. I have the gradient ready but I can't figure out what to do about making it a half tone so I can screen print it.
I suppose the specifics of my image aren't crucial. What I need to know is how to make a coloured half tone where it's essentially two colours on two separate layers that blend into each other. Should it be two half tone layers? Or is it better to have ONE of the two colours a half tone, while the other sits below and together they create the illusion of blending?
I had to factory restore my computer and reinstalled CS6 and now when I use Photoshop to import videos only half the frame of the video shows up. The top half is completely missing.

I am printing out several images for relatives in 4x6 size. The prints are only half height (landscape mode).Using Photoshop Elements works okay.I normally print on an Epson r1900 and everything there prints out well.Either automatic or setting to dimensions in the print menu makes no difference.Image size reports correctly.
View 7 Replies View RelatedPhotos filed in My Pictures sometimes get the bottom half degraded. They get an over all green or yellow cast which I cannot get rid of. The pics start off OK but later for no apparent reason this cast appears.
Could it be connected with images that are scanned in? The camera downloads do not seem to be affected but I might be wrong about that.
