Photoshop :: Losing Functions
Nov 20, 2007
I am losing functions in nearly every menu in photoshop. I have tried v.8 and v.10 with the same results... I have no access to nearly every effect menu, the select menu is almost as worthless and I can't do anything on it anymore. The only way to make the function useable is to open an old file that was made back when it was working. I tried reinstalling, after that didn't work it forced me to use a company version of CS3, which has the same problem.
Does anyone know what may be going on? I don't understand what file in my computer may be doing this... If anyone has had any similar problems, please post without hesitation. This is the second photoshop forum I tried, I hope photoshop team can help .
Here are two screenshots of what the effects menu looks like; sorry about the size, I have huge resolution and didn't think about reducing the image size:
I am running windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and I am mainly trying to fix Photoshop v.8, but fixing this one will evidently fix v.10 as well.

when I use the adjust curves function, I adjust the curves until they look good, then when I render it it changes slightly. Does any one know what causes this, or how to remedy it?

I'm looking for a way to collect often needed functions to a separate - let's say - "favorite" menu.
As I mostly do beauty retouching I need "highpass", "gaussian blur", "unsharpen", "Topaz adjust" or "PTlens" all the time, (which are 3rd party plug-ins). But every single time I have to go through the menus to call the specific function.
Is there maybe already a way to collect you favorite used functions in a personally customized menu?

This is a copy of the system info from CS6:

I have tried disabling the Catalyst A.I. and restaring PS. The video card is AMD Radeon (TM) HD 6620G. Nothing I do seems to work. I can see the 3D menu it's all grayed out and when in the 3D tab under layes, if I try to create a 3D object this is the message I get. "The 3D features require that "Use Graphics Process" is enabled in the Performace preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirements and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly.

I am having problems with using the rubber stamp tool while recording an action for a batch process. The rubber stamp is not being picked up by the action. Is there a way to record the toolbar functions within an action?

When I load Elements 10, from the home page it lets me hit organize, but when I hit "Edit" it does nothing. On the Edit drop down menu, I usually hit "edit with photoshop editor" and it takes me to the screen with all the tools, but now it does nothing. I can't get any of the tools to load.

I am running Photoshop CS5 Extended on a Mac OSX 10.7.3. I can not copy or align any files in Photoshop. This happens no matter what I do or how the file was created. I have tried everything and nothing seems to resolve the issues. It is not a locked layer, I have checked all my preferences and I am using all the default settings. I am at my witts end!
Basically what I have been doing is to use Fireworks but I now have to use Photoshop for a certain project.

Suddenly, Forward Warp, Bloat and all the rest stopped working. The only things that work are Freeze Mask strokes, Thaw Mask strokes and Zoom. Nothing was changed in settings except Brush size when this happened, which was: closed out of PS, re-opened the same image I had been working on... no response in Liquefy.. I then tried other BMPs, JPEGs and PSDs, all of which I had worked on before today with Liquefy. I also tried restarting the machine. Again, 99% sure no settings were changed except Brush size. Tools in the main interface are working normally.

I use PSE 10 with Camera Raw 6.6. It appears to be missing functions such as the paint brush and the ability to mask. I've tried downloading it again, but the additional functions did not reappear.

Does anyone know if its possible to put the basic Copy/Paste functions into the right-click menu of Illustrator CS?
Sometime moving that other hand to CtrlC just seems like hard work!

I recently installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my MacBook Pro. I attempted to select, then edit a photo that I created a while ago. All of the Edit Functions were dimmed. I confirmed that the photo was set with RGB color mode, and it is in Full/Edit mode. The primary functions that I attempted to use were Copy & Paste. I opened the same file on my iMac and it worked just fine. How I can make the Edit Functions work on my MacBook Pro?

I can not crop as usual. The function is restricted to the "no restriction" aspect ratio and it will not allow me to change to another. All other functions of the cropping tool are disabled as well.

I do not understand why whenever I go to select the rectangle/polygon(or other similar tools) sometimes-in the options bar-the path functions(subtract from area, add to shape area etc) are NOT available.
The one who is always available is the "create new shape layer".

I have been receiving advertisements for Pixio Photo Maximizer Professional 3 which claim that photographs can be enlarged without loss of detail and that it is easy to remove people/objects from photographs.
Are these functions available in CS5 and, if so, how do I access them?

I have PSE 7 and it does not support the "Transform" functions for 16-bit TIFF images, nor does it support Filter->Correct Camera Distortion. Are 16-bit TIFFs fully supported in PSE 10?

So what to do? How does this interrupt my use of all the functions in photoshop? I am a creative cloud member, so I am all up to date. This is the message I got.
There is a problem with the video driver in Photoshop, and extensions that use graphics hardware is temporarily disabled. See the website of the manufacturer of your video card to get the latest software. To learn more, see: [URL]...

I would like to assign keyboard shortcuts for functions inside the paragraph styles panel in PS CS6. It seems that no option to do this is exposed - is this correct?

I am using Video Suite X5 and have made a video with chapters. After playing one of several chapters I want the DVD to return to the menu but it continues to play the remainder of the disc. I found a setting for Clip Playback that has settings of "Continue to Play the Next Clip" and "Back to Menu". I set this to 'Back to Menu" re-burn, but after playing a chapter, it still continues to play the disc and does not return to the menu.

My Photoshop CS6 PSDs are getting flattened if opened by any previous versions of Photoshop, despite not being saved just opened. When I open the original in CS6 again, all layers are merged. Where there were 12 layers, there is now one. This is causing loads of problems.

I have same shortcut file for several years. The pattern is recent shortcut, always seem to disappear. They stick for a bit, between many lauchnes and quits of CS3, but then need to be re-added. I've done the delete preferences trick, I'm out of ideas.

I'm trying to break up sections of my website design, but when I copy and paste the various sections their edges become somewhat transparent.
Those edges shouldn't be soft because this is part of a larger solid image.

I understand that a pdf underlay will slow down AutoCad and its functions. My company just switched from AutoCad 2010 to AutoCad LT 2010, while maintaining the same computer and it has become astronomically slower. Is this an issue I have to deal with or is there a way to improve its efficiency?

When I select "Tools - GEGL Operations..." a window with an empty drop-down list appears, i. e. there are no functions in the list (can't drop down anything). So it seems GEGL functions are not available in my GIMP.
(Windows 7, 64bit, GIMP 2.8.2)

Suppose you discover that at some point previously that you accidenetally did multiple pastings of the same thing into the same place, and suppose you go left-click then delete, then left click then delete (etc) SLOWLY, then ou can delete the offending multiple items one at a time and all is good.
HOWEVER if you try to do it too quickly it all goes wrong. It seems that the tool that was used to create the object that you are trying to delete suddenly gets selected. e.g. If it is multiple copies of the same text and you go left-click, then delete, then left-click TOO QUICKLY, then suddenly instead of being in Selector tool mode, you suddenly find yourself in Text Tool mode and find yourself deleting individual characters one at a time instead of the entire text items.
Likewise, if you find a rectangle and do left-click - delete key - left-click too quickly you suddenly find yourself in Rectangle Tool mode and the delete key no longer functions.

If there is a way to set hotkeys for the steering wheel functions like 'orbit around pivot' and the steering wheel zoom (which is different from the normal zoom).
Using the steering wheel is WAY too slow, so it would be great if it was possible to map these functions to hotkeys.

I've installed the student version of Maya 2012 on my computer (windows 7). At first, it was working fine but one day, I tried to Save As and Maya wasn't responding anymore... Had to go in the Task Manager to shut it down and when I did, it told me that the program wasn't responding. Later on, I found out that the problem wasn't only with the Save As function, but with every function that requires Maya to browse on my computer (Set Project, Open Scene, New Project, Create Reference, browsing textures, etc). I tried to uninstall and re-install Maya, did not work, delete the Maya folder in my documents, did not work, allow Maya in my firewall, did not work, even deactivate my firewall, did not work..
