why Liquify tools work well for me in Elements, but not in Photoshop7.0 ?
Whenever I click and drag the cursor the image is either "erased", or there are square copies of other parts of the picture. If I then click on OK, the process seems to work, but clearly it's not accurate.
The freeze tool is not pictured on the left with the other tools. I can access freeze by pressing the "F" key, but there is no way to unfreeze since that tool is missing as well. Only seven tools are seen now.
Here's a strange situation. 3 of my students have had the Pucker and Bloat tools in Liquify tear holes in their images. I mean really pucker so hard that transparent pixels appear at the liquify point. Their tools were set on the defaults -- not overly strong strength or rate.
What gives? All 3 of the culprits were on Windows machines... (Mid 2011 imacs with Windows OS). The students on Mac had no problem.
Oh, also one of the students with the problem was having it so strongly that the Liquify tools were actually creating tiny copies of the whole image *inside* the torn "holes"-- as if the image is being turned inside out!
Edited to add: I've noticed another couple of weird things with those machines having this problem:The Reconstruct tool and Reconstruct button also cause the holes to be torn... but with those tools, the holes are repeated like the run in a nylon.
Left - Marquee Tool > Transform > Skew Middle - Liquify filter with "use graphic processors" selected Right - Liquify filter without (same result) Image above is at 200% zoom
All Transform tools cause jaggy edge. I've only tried these tools and Liquify for the last month and a half.
Uninstalled, re-installed Windows, Photoshop, graphic card - Evga 560 ti - drivers (all versions). No prevail.
CS5 works flawlessly on this system. These tools also work fine on my laptop which use Radeon HD3470.
i have cs5 suite. last week everything fine in photoshop. this week, only the tools that are showing are available to use. i can not access the tools when i click on the corner of individual tools. i am running version 10.6.8
I instal form SDK User Tools because I need in Inventor Drawing Tools (Revision cloud). I do this install like on website Autodesk show and I didn't get it on ribbon. I do also registry of this plugin but I also didn't get it.
There seems to be way too many tools in the tools panel for me. Many of them I will rarely, if ever use. Is there any way I can rearrange or remove some of them? It would unclutter the screen immensely.
I have an interactive board with tools (such as pen or eraser) which I want to integrate with the AI. The typical scenario woulld be as follows: the user lifts the pen from the tray, the pen event will me mapped into selecting Pencil Tool from AI toolbar after which the user can add freehand annotations to the AI document.
Is there an API which would allow me to map abailable hardware tools with relevant AI tools? Is there an example which would demonstrate such integration?
Have had 64-bit version running for 18 months or so on Windows 7 including Liquify Filter. After a recent Hard-disk crash and copied over files to new disk, it is no longer visible as an option on the menu list. (Ctrl-Shft-X does not work either). The file liquify.8bf is showing in my directory in the same filters directory as Lens Correction.8BF - which IS showing in the filters list.
PS: The menu option is not greyed out - it is not there any more.
Note: I tried renaming the file and renaming it back again, which is why it has a created date of today. The last accessed date of 2nd July was probably the last time it was used before or at the time of the crash - not sure exactly.
Is there a way to sort this problem out without a re-install. Or a good way to re-install without losing preferences - screen layouts etc.
I've read, in a Creative Pro, article that if u apply liquify to a layer and when u click ok on the window to apply the effects holding down the Shift key it saves the mesh in a temporary directory (for win user: ctemp --> i have it). And then if u want re-apply the same mesh just shift+click on filter-->liquify...but it doesn't work in ps7!! (the article in creative pro is for ps6)
When I use liquify, instead of showing the real time distortion it seems to put a square copy of about the same size as my brush of another portion of the layer. It's as if it is mirroring from the middle of the y-axis if that makes sense. It does distort but I have to hit invert (or other function buttons) to get it to show up and get the copied artifacts to dissapear.
Now the Main body "box", I want to to be able to "stretch" downward so there is enough space for my text and my footer.
I would probably use the liquify option for this, correct? I would liquify the box on it's left side and right side, but I will not include the liquify option on the corners.
But my question is, when do I exactly do this? Is this a part of slicing, or is it done at anytime?
Also, Would I just make this box a certain size, add my footer, then liquify? Or do I extend to box to the bottom of my layout in PS? Though if I did that, I'd have no footer, correct?
The outcome I'm looking for is a the main box on my site to extend past the page that you see in PS (so you'd have to scroll down in your browser, then at the bottom,
Im doing an A1 image for uni at 200dpi and i need to use the liquify filter, but the brush size only goes up to 600 which is way too small, i need it 3 or 4 times that, is there a way to increase the size, or is there another plugins that does a 'pucker' effect?
I've been having liquify problems on 2 different computers. On a PII 400mhz it doesn't update the image in real time when distorting. I have to hit invert to make the image distorted. On a 2.0ghz P4 it resets the moment you push the pen down on the image or left click.
Made quite a long action with around 5 or so liquify distortions. When I got to run the action, it loads the liquify screen but then just stops and waits until I manually do some work and press enter or cancel. Pressing cancel brings me back to the canvas and the action stops.
Is there anyway I can force or otherwise PS to remember what I did during my edits from the liquified screen? Is this what the 'save mesh' command is for within the liquify tool?
Liquify tool messed up. When I try to use the tool it doesn't show a preview of what I am doing. When I click ok it applies the liquification mess I did blindly.
I have windows 7 64bit, , Dell Precision Covet, 16GB Ram 3.2 GHZ Intel Core i7.My graphics card is NVIDIA Quattro K400M, latest drivers dated 6/21/2013. My windows experience score is 7.6, my machine is state of the art, highest Dell Precision available.
Now that we can eliminate my hardware as the problem, or my drivers as a problem, I would like to report, as many others have, that Photoshop crashes on applying Liquify. I just bought a year subscription to cloud, and the very first thing I tried to do with my photo causes a repeated crash.
I'm trying to use the Liquify filter and the Liquify screen is too big. I can't reach the "Show Backdrop" option at the bottom. What do I do? I'm trying to work through a tutorial that requires that.
On a related note, how to make one thing in the shape of another? Say I want to make a mouse in the shape of a Tyranosaurus. How would I do that? That's similar to what I'm trying to do here.
When I open any image at all liquify will not work on them. The brush basically picks up the whole image and moves it instead of reconstructing what I want to on the image. I have CS6
Just installed CS2 and was attempting a tutorial that requested me to use the liquify tool. I go to the filter menu and it is just not there? I have looked in finder and found it where it should be but it fails to display on my screen!
I am having difficulty with liquify on large files.
VISTA 64 bit - 8 GBs RAM
My files are 39 MP. When loading into liquify about 2/3 of the way through it starts tiling while presumably the system accesses the scratch disk or page file. Once loaded into liquify, you can only do one or two small mods at a time before the system goes back into swap mode (presumably).
I've tried allocating less memory to make more room for the plug in, and of course max memory. Nothing helps.
I've tested the different memory settings starting PS over each time and the sytem itself has most the RAM available.
the tool to make a person skinny in a picture? I done seen the video where this girl was made skinny when she was a bigger girl but the video moves so fast i cant tell which tool it is.
The Photoshop CS liquify tool is different from the Photoshop 7 liquify tool, in that it's extremely touchy. Changing the brush pressure (like in Photoshop 7) does not tone down the effect for Photoshop CS. I can not even begin to approach the precision I had with Photoshop 7, while using CS.
How to get the 'Shape to Block' command to work (under express tools).
It says select object, but no matter what object I select eg. circle, pline or line, it says invalid selection. I am running AutoCAD 2012. Are 'shape' objects somehow different from any other objects?
Is there any way to make the cursor in the liquify tool be a little thinner and loose the cross hairs? I am having accuracy issues and if I could see more of what I am moving it would work. I an using and Intous 3 tablet but also have the same issue with the mouse.
I have tried zooming in but that does not seem to work when trying to adjust very small areas. If the cursor cannot be changed, any tips or tricks?
Also the size adjustment for the cursor is does not appear to be linear and increases or decreases in size in very large jumps especially when using the slider but also with the [ and ] keys.
I'm try new liquify in Photoshop CS6 and see very bad previews. Here is liquify preview in accelerated Liquify. Note the artifacts.Here is accelerated preview (Alt pressed pressed at startup). All clean.
I also tried nVidia videocards. All ok. Problem appears only on workstation with AMD card. I try two drivers 12.4 and 12.2 - same results. OpenCL is on.
1] When I open an image > Filter > Use Liquify filter > Press OK -----Nothing happens, Image reverts back to its original state. Same thing happens with other filters.Why is this happening?I re-installed PS and even formatted my PC (Win7, i3) but still it continues. Used mode> RGB/8bit ----but non of any use.
2] Also, PS is creating *_MVM_.tmp files on othe HDD ie on D:/ and E:/
