I start Photoshop CS3 some of the preferences set themselves back to default even though I set them to soemething else the last time I opened it. What annoys me the most is the navigator window which resizes itself every time.
View 8 Replieswhen I start my Photoshop, everything resets to the default settings, from workspace to general preferences. Why does it do this and is there a way to stop it from doing it?

My monitor is calibrated with Spyder2. Every time when I start Photoshop and open file (new or existing) my calibration info is gone. I have to apply color calibration for my monitor again. Why Photoshop resets my monitors color calibration info and how can I avoid this?

I'm creating an animated gif from a video clip (cinemagraph). In order to acheive the effect I need, I need to move each layer with the move tool to get an object to stay in the same position. I have gone through layer by layer and used the move tool to move the contents of each layer. When I play the animation I see the layers in the position I put them in. I stop playing the animation the contents of each layer snap back to their original positions. I have tried using the lock tools (both lock position and lock all) but they don't make a difference. why layer positions would reset when creating animations and how to get it to stop?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSince I started with the 2014 version of 3dsmax Design I have serious troubles with the Viewport Clipping settings. The yellow arrows 'resets' about 90 percent of the times when I change viewport and sometimes also when I attach objects together. Ideally the top arrow should be below the top yellow line in the viewport setting and the lower one above. What I mean by that they 'resets' is that the top one for no reason goes all the way to the top and the lower goes all the way to the bottom. The result is a very weird looking viewport. Sometimes both goes to the top or bottom and the whole scene is invisible.
If I had been new with 3dsmax I had given up a long time ago not understanding why my hole scene either disappears completely or looks weird. I consider going back to 2012 now since its frustrating adjusting the clipping arrows every minute. Slows down my work.
For some odd reason Autocad will not maintain my workspace customizations. For example I typically can customize my workspace by toggling which toolbars are shown and where they are placed. Then I can close autocad and when I start it again all the customizations are present. Now when I start autocad it loads the default workspace. I should have to customize my workspace every time I start autocad. I also shouldn't have to create any custom workspace profile or anything like that. AutoCad used to simply save any GUI customizations made automatically. I need it to get back to that.

I finally installed Revit 2012. The first order of business was customizing the QAT to include everything I regularly use, and appear below the ribbon.
However, everytime I close/reopen the program, it resets and loses everything. It was not an issue in 2011.
Running Autocad Architecture 2014:
I am running into a problem, I like to use the annotative line type scale when I open the drawing i have to set the MSLTS to (0), and PSLTS to (0), LTS is already at (0). When I set these settings then save the drawing (saves as autocad 2013 version), close it down and re-open it the MSLTS and PSLTS settings reset back to (0). I've tried everything to get these settings to save but nothing works.
I want to keep these settings MSLTS (1), PSLTS (1), and LTS (1), after a save and re open they reset to (0)
Every time I open a new drawing(without closing AutoCAD) my workspace resets ea time and I lose all toolbars and settings.
Using AutoCAD 2012
Opening an old file LTSCALE every time resets to 100 instead of 1.
We tested MEASUREMENT and MEASUREINIT but this problem keeps coming back.
It happens on my colleagues computer not mine!
Is there some system variables set locally causing this only on some computers?
I am able to customize my quick access toolbar in Inventor 2014; however, when I close Inventor and re-open it again the quick access toolbar has been reset to what it was before. For example I will add "open from vault" and/or "iProperties" options to the QA toolbar but when I re-open Inventor I have to add them all over again.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn illustrator I like my row size to be at 50px in size. Every time I close down AI and reopen it later it seems that the layers have reverted back to their default sizes (I think its like normal or somthing cartoonishly small)
To get to the option panel I'm talking about, bring up your layers in AI then in the top right drop down menu select Panel Options at the very bottom of the contextule menu, and in that window the top options are "Row Size".This is where I pick "Other" and then set it to 50px (every time).
I'm having troubles with the inventor 2013 shortcuts.
Actually, i have to confirm my selection when i have 2 aliases starting with the same key (for example : D for dimension, and DF for discussion forums).
The fact is i never use the DF shortcut, and want to clean it up, or at least change it. When i do, it works well, until i restart inventor.
When i restart Inventor, shortcuts configuration resets and i have to do the change again.
I found a way to not spend that much time on changing them, with exporting/importing settings, but it's still annoying to import every time i start Inventor.

We have the following problem (on AIS2010): we often recycle existing designs with small changes/adapting, means: the (sub)assembly is saved with a new name and part number, and the subcomponents that need to be changed, get a new part number and file name too. So we save a copy, save the parts need changes and then replace the "old" parts in the new assy.
Doing so unfortunately retains the "name" of the component in the model browser tree. Why is that in the first place.
But I'm trying to write a macro that resets the dspalyed names in the browser.
What I found so far, is that under BrowserNodeDefinition, there's a Label property which contains the displayed name, and this does not get changed when the part is replaced. So I thought, I can just compare these BrowserNodeDefinition.Labels with the actual file names and forge a new Label from the new name and the sequence number, however, the BrowserNodeDefinition object is read only, can't be changed.
I haven't found anything else that would contain this name that is displayed in the browser.
The model space orientation is different than the paper space orientation (I have my viewport rotated) but whenever I am working in paper space and double-click inside model space to activate the viewport, it resets/reorients the view to match the orientation in model space. It also changes the scale. If I lock the viewport and then double-click inside to activate model space it does not change.
I don't want to always have my viewports locked to work on them in paper space.
Periodically Photoshop CS2 seems to completely reset itself as if I had just installed it for the first time. Mind you, I have everything customized just the way I like it, so every time this happens, even though I've saved my Workspace, it still comes up with annoying dialog boxes (Delete this layer?) so I have to reorganize again.
Has this happened to anyone else? I'm running Windows XP, 2 GB of RAM and lots of hard drive space left over.
We use a number of blocks with block tables for data extraction here, and whenever one of the blocks is modified and updated, all of the block tables reset to the default value. This happens for any block reference change, not just changes to the block table (which makes sense that it would reset).
How can we update these blocks without having to manually change all of the block tables afterwards?
To summarize: It seems that compounding a path resets the rotation of the gradient to it's original degree of rotation.
Detailed version:
1. Create a shape.
2. Add a gradient fill. Note it's degree of rotation. Let's say it's set at 10°.
3. Now rotate the shape by any means (transform or rotate tool). Note the gradient degree of rotation has shifted the same amount as the shape was rotated (if it was rotated 50°, the gradient will show at 60°).
4. Make it a compound path.
5. Instantly the gradient shifts back to it's original degree of rotation of 10°.
It appears that when rotating a shape with a gradient, the rotation of the gradient is locked to the rotation of the shape. But when making it a compound shape it releases that lock and "remembers" it's original state. But that is only true as soon as you make it a compound path, but if you no go ahead and rotate it just a bit using the cursor (as opposed to selecting transform > rotate), the gradient will switch back to how you would expect it to rotate in the first place...
Workaround would be to make it a compound path before rotating the shape at all.
I have a situation where the default behavior of my rectangle tool (or any of the other shape tools) is now different. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.5 running Illustrator CS5. It acts as though the option-shift keys are pressed, so whenever I draw an object, it draws from the center point and the dimensions are constrained, so i can only draw a square or circle, not a rectangle or ellipse. Additionally, whenever I use the selection tool, it clones the object I drag, and also constrains the positioning, so i can only drag in a 0, 45 or 90 degree angle (or multiples thereof). It's as if my option-shift keys are permanently pressed (if I actually press option-shift, the behavior persists). I tried using a different (brand new) keyboard, tried throwing away preferences, and the problem remains. I also tried booting up Illustrator CS4, and the weird problem showed up there! This behavior just started happening spontaneously. I couldn't think of anything weird that happened (a crash, a new plug-in, etc.). I can't find a preference that sets this behavior either.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have lots of JPG files that are"sort of one-of. All I need to do is open, crop, and print. I am trying to set Photoshop CS6 as the default for opening JPG files.

Why ACR is set to 240 ppi by default? Isn't 300 ppi the optimum setting for printing purposes? Is there a good reason, or reasons, why Adobe chose 240 ppi as the default setting?
I'd like to know if it is advisable to change ACR's settings from this default 240 ppi to 300 ppi. I know any perceived difference, when it comes to printing images, may be negligible, but why not, if it is just a matter of simply changing it to 300 ppi permanently?
I am uneasy about changing this, however, until I find out a lot more about it, as I want the best quality, and if there are undesirable consequences by changing ACR to 300 ppi that I am not aware about, and, therefore, why Adobe have it set it to 240 ppi, then I'll leave it at the default setting.
what version of PS CS4 will open when double clicking a PS linked file (aka PSD, TIFF, etc)?
I have to open the 32-bit version first just to make sure the files open in the correct version of the program.
I downloaded my old 7.0 to my new computer.
The program works fine but I can't open a file directly from the HD. It asks me what program I wish to open it with and Adobe 7.0 is not an option so I go to "browse" and locate the Adobe file, click on it but it still doesn't add it on as an option. Image ready is an option allready but I want to use Photoshop. When I have the 7.0 running, I can open a file from there by going to "file" then "open" but I can't directly open a file from the hard drive.
I'm planing to buy CS3 but I'm trying to figure out how to make what I have right now work.
I know it is suppose to open the last font you used when you launch photoshop but I have never used Myriad Pro in my life, no offence to neither Robert Slimbach nor Carol Twombly. The font I primarily use is the Sans. There is no reason I should have to reset my font every time I launch. Why would this not be an option in the preferences? Photoshop CS6.

I have a problem with Adobe Bridge opening files in PS 64 bit instead of my prefered 32 version.I took the "Typical"install when I installed Photoshop and I suppose that's why 64 is the default.

I am working on numerous 3D renders at the moment, all will have the same lighting, colours, focal length / DOF, position etc. The only thing that will change is the 3D object itself (vector smart object text with an icon).
Now, when I have finished rendering one, save it then want to change the image in the smart object (edit source), save to update - this will not update the 3D layer! Ideally this is the workflow I would like to use, but it just won't work. I now have to replicate all the settings on a new 3D extrusion from a layer...
Is there a way to set it so when I do create a new extrusion from a layer, it would default to the used settings?Or can I fix it so the smart object actually updates?
