Photoshop :: One Plugin Installs - Another Disappears

Feb 26, 2013

I've recently installed CS6 on a new Win 7 64 bit machine.
 
I'm beginning to install various plugins (Topaz, Nik, etc.).
 
I think this is the correct procedure, but let me know if it's wrong:  I open Photoshop, go to Edit, Preferences, Plugins, then check the "additional plug-ins folder" and choose browse.  I navigate to the main folder for the product I'm looking for.  For example, Topaz... I'm using 3 plug-ins:  Detail, Remask, Adjust.  I highlight the folder, click OK, close PS, then reopen it.  I open an image, then go to Filter, and find that all three plug-ins are there.  I open each one, make sure that they are activated with my activation key, then close each application.
 
I then went back to Edit, Preferences, Plugins and browsed for the next plugin folder.  In this specific case, it was Portraiture, by Imagenomic.  I highlight the folder, click OK, close PS, re-open, and when I look for this plugin under Filter, I see it.  But, now, one of the Topaz plug-ins are gone.  It always seems to be the Topaz Adjust.  If I navigate back to it, re-do the plug-in from PS, then the Imagenomic plug-in disappears next time I open PS.
 
In each case, I just highlight the main folder (Topaz, or Imagenomic), not the Topaz Adjust folder (though I did try this, and it made no difference).

Photoshop :: CS3 Installs But Won't Run

Oct 17, 2007

bought Dell Laptop. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)

When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.

I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.

I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.

I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.

I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)

The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.

We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...

So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..

Photoshop :: CS4 Installs

Dec 3, 2008

I have installed CS4 on Vista 64 and completed without any errors. I was able to bring up Bridge and go through it without any issues. However, when I try to run either CS4 or CS4 64 bit, it starts to load and says it has quit working, windows tries to find a fix and does not and shuts the program down.

Photoshop :: Installs But Won't Run On

Nov 30, 2007

I have done a fresh install of Windows XP Pro SP2 and decided to install a brand-new copy of CS3 at the same time.

This computer is totally fresh - there are no printers, no TWAIN drivers, no funny fonts or games installed. The only software on this machine is Windows and whatever updates Windows Update has pushed out.

The Photoshop installer runs fine - no crashes or error messages. However, when I try to start up Photoshop, I just get the outer frame of the app window and (usually) the File / Edit / Image / Layer... menu bar. There is no splash screen, and no palettes appear. If I click anywhere in the app window, the menu bar disappears and the title bar says "Not responding".

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling from both the DVD and the web download. I've tried selecting the "repair" option on the install screen. I've tried downloading and installing the 10.0.1 update.

I tried installing Lightroom and Reader to see if those work (they do).

I tried installing the latest video driver for my gfx card.

None of these change the behaviour I've been seeing at all. I opened a support case with Adobe about 4 days ago but haven't gotten a response yet.

Any thoughts? I was able to run PS CS1 on this computer just fine before I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled everything, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.

Photoshop :: Number Of Installs

May 11, 2008

I just bought Photoshop CS3 Extended, and want to install it on all of my computers. Would anybody happen to know if there is a limit on how many times it can be installed?

The only reason I ask, is because I've run into that problem with programs like Norton Systemworks. You only get so many installs, then you have to go out and buy the software again.

Photoshop :: CS3 Installs, But Freezes When I

Sep 18, 2008

I have been able to successfully INSTALL Adobe Photoshop CS3: Extended multiple times, however I have yet to actually successfully RUN the application. After installation, when I try to open the program, a window appears with "Adobe Photoshop CS3" at the top and it is simply a large grey box with nothing inside of it. My mouse cursor turns into an hourglass and that's it... I left it there for an hour and a half once just to see what it would do and it simply continued in an endless loop of nothingness.

I have a custom-built computer with an AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition, 2x2GB of OCZ 1066mhz Reaper DDR2, a Gigabyte motherboard with the GX790 chipset (SB750 southbridge), and a 2x1 Terabyte RAID 1 array.

It's running in a brand spanking new Windows XP Professional installation with Service Pack 3.

I have tried the following:

1) Uninstalling and reinstalling (same result)

2) Uninstalling all Adobe programs, Running Adobe Clean Script at level 4, running Windows Install Cleanup to remove any remaining Adobe remnants, and reinstalled. (same result)

3) Doing everything in step 2 again, then copying the CD to my hard drive, and installing from my hard drive. (same result)

4) Doing everything in step 2 again, then making a new administrative user account and reinstalling (same result...)

The adobe tech support guys I encountered came up with some pretty crazy (and flat stupid) explanations for my problems.

One guy claimed that my Serial was for CS1 and that somehow I'd gotten a CS1 disk that just happened to come in a CS3 box, with a CS3 disk label, which just happens to say "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended" after you install it...

Photoshop :: How To Uninstall All Stuff Related To CS6 Installs

Jun 16, 2012

How do I uninstall all the things that Photoshop CS6 installs? I don't see a "custom" or "advanced" installer option, but it puts all kinds of things on my computer that I do not want (I only want Photoshop installed). The full installation is 2GB, which is quite a lot (I have a small SSD)

Photoshop :: Trial Version Downloads And Installs...

Aug 19, 2008

I can download and install PS CS3 (as well as Illustrator, Dreamweaver etc) just fine...

but when I launch the app and select the option to start the trial, I get an ambiguous error message saying that...

"A problem was encountered while trying to load the trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3

Click Quit to see if restarting you computer or reinstalling the software..."

so I did both, and I still get the error.

I need this trial version as a bridge for the next month before pulling the trigger on the full suite;

VideoStudio :: X5 Installs In NTSC When PAL Is Selected In Installer

Jan 29, 2013

I am trying to install a (boxed) version of VideoStudio X5 Ultimate as a fresh install. However, although I select either United Kingdom or PAL/SECAM as the TV standard, it installs with the NTSC settings as default.

I have used the VSX5_cleaner to ensure everything is removed, rebooted and re-run the installer but it seems to install the same every time.

We have two laptops (identical configuration) and it works perfectly on the first one.

I am installing logged in as the local administrator.

I can't just use the current settings as it is trying to download video from a Sony HVR-HD1000E camera at 30fps that has been recorded at 25fps...

Photoshop :: Photoshop Still Not Opening After 2 Re-installs, No Error Message.

Mar 5, 2006

I have Photoshop 7 installed (or at least, it was installed) on my Dell laptop (which is running on Windows 2000 still). I've had it for nearly a year now and it has never had any problems before, but a couple of days ago when I tried to open the program, it just shut down.

There was no error message or anything; it just booted up, got to the point where it said it was initializing, and then disapeared. Since then I have tried re-installing it twice with no luck. Can anyone possibly help me out with this?

Photoshop :: Rectangles Disappears

Jun 17, 2008

I use the rectangle tool to draw two rectangles where I use blending options to set opacity to 0 (no fill). But when I draw the second rectangle the first one disappears. How do I see both rectangles at the same time?

Another thing. How do I change linesize for the borders for the rectangle?

Photoshop :: Mouse Pointer Disappears In CS5?

Oct 5, 2012

I am on a Mac Pro with Magic Trackpad. Using Photoshop CS5, the cursor/pointer disappears after a while, and I have to switch to another application, then back to Photoshop to bring it back. The pointer does not disappear over the image window, just over the tool palettes, toolbar, menus, etc. This is a recent development, and I've only ever seen it in Mountain Lion. None of my previous systems exhibited this behavior.

Photoshop :: Image For Puppet Warping Disappears

Oct 14, 2013

Today I went to puppet warp a layer, and as soon as I placed the first pin, the image part of the puppet warp disappeared - only the mesh was visible.  I can't figure out where to put pins or adjust my layer if I can't see the actual image! 
 
Have been using puppet warp with my current system config for a long time with no issues, and had, in fact, puppet warped several things just a few minutes prior with no issues.  I have tried after restarting, using hardly any system resources, and with all other layers visible, and hidden.  No matter what I try, as soon as I place the first pin, only the mesh remains and I can't see what I'm trying to warp at all.  !

Photoshop :: Cursor Disappears In CS5 After OS10.8 Upgrade?

Sep 12, 2012

I have a problem in Photoshop CS5 (v. 12.0.2) after ugrading my Mac system to Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I use a mouse (not wireless, also tried changing mouse).
 
When I work with a picture using the brush tool and move the cursor to a palette or menu, the layers palette for example, the cursor disappers. Sometimes you can see that the palettes gets "marked" when you move the mouse around (I mean the "buttons" that changes when you move the cursor over them).

But the cursor is gone and I can't see where to click. If I just click around and eventually hit the right spot, a layer for example, the cursor usually comes back. But the problem happens again as soon as I move the cursor from my picture to a palette or menu.
 
I don't use that many different tools in Photoshop, usually just the brush tool. But the same thing happens with the doodge tool (or any other tool I think)}.

Photoshop :: Text Randomly Disappears Without Warning?

Aug 25, 2013

Whenever I edit any text - be it editing an existing text layer, or with a new one, whatever text is there just randomly and without warning disappears.  Doesn't matter wether I'm changing the color, font, font size or any other type settings.  Sometimes I just move the mouse while in editing mode and the text just vanishes.
 
Made a video of the bug in action.  Virtual keyboard on screen so you can see that I'm not hitting any keys to make the text disappears. Latest version of Photoshop, CC, OS X etc.

Photoshop :: Edge Of Brush Disappears As It Gets Larger

Oct 29, 2012

I noticed this was a question when CS4 came out; I've just upgraded from CS3 to CS6 so am experiencing the problem decribed in an earlier thread here:

[URL]....
 
I have an Nvidia Geforce 7900GS card with an old 2006 driver, 8.4.4.0   I tried updating to driver 306.81 from earlier this month and whilst this solved the brush issue, it caused the PC's cooling fans to operate much more frequently (and noisily) than before so I concluded it was not so suitable for my card.
 
In view of this, should I be trying an older driver, say from 2009 as the earlier post suggests "because that bug was fixed by Nvidia back in the Spring of 2009"
 
If so, which one?
 
I'm running XP, SP3  PC has dual core Pentium CPU 3.4GHz, 4GB RAM (3.25 useable with XP) CS6 updated with all available updates.

Photoshop :: The Brush Size Circle Disappears

Aug 24, 2013

This happens occasionally-out of nowhere the brush tool  stops showing as a circle of specfic diameter and shows as a crosshairs, which does me no good whatever. This goes for all tools using the brush presets-brush, eraser, and stamp. I can't do anything. because I can't see the tool I'm working with. I tried restarting PS, then restarting with trashed prefs. Neither worked. I know that sooner or later it will come back and  all wil be well, but meanwhile, the deadlines are creeping closer & closer. The enemy is at the gates.
