Photoshop :: PSD Files Hang When Opening After Quickstep Process?
Jan 30, 2013
We have a customer using Photoshop CS6 he opens an image and performs the Quickstep process (the process where it scans the original image and rips out all of the different colours used to create the image) and then saves the image as both a PSD and EPS. If he then tries to open the newly saved PSD file the image hangs and gradually begins to open but then just locks up Photoshop to the point you have to end task to get out of it. If the EPS file is opened it opens absolutely fine. all other tasks and processes carried out in Photoshop are absolutely fine.
How the PMS color palettes "simulate" on screen how the color will print on different substrates (glossy vs matte vs uncoated paper). That's great for comps, but if you convert it to CMYK to print it, and the values are representing a "simulated" color it won't look correct (by that I mean come close to matching the spot color). For example, the uncoated palette simulates the color by making them appear a bit washed out on screen - pretty good visual simulation. But it might do so by adding black and cyan to orange for example, etc. - effectively dulling the original color.
So if I convert that to CMYK within the new Pantone + color palette, and then send it to the printer - it won't appear as it did on screen, it will dull the end color even more because it's converted the color to the dull simulated version - what a disaster! It's only doing half the job - showing us what it should look like on screen. In order to be truly efficient for design professionals the CMYK conversion might remove black and cyan completely to effectively brighten the color in the final output on uncoated paper. I would prefer it just stick to the standard conversion, which Pantone did have as a standard palette option (PMS to process), and then I can adjust if I think it's necessary.
Any corporate branding system will likely start with a PMS spot color palette for the identity. Then it will build into many different adaptations - full color brochures, large format banners and trade show graphics, website, advertising. So any corporate branding system will need to have PMS, CMYK and RGB versions of their main corporate color palette. There was a standard for these translations that was automatically consistent in the Adobe software and that is now all over the place, so it relies on individuals manually adapting the color mixes for final use - what a great way to screw things up.
I got over 160 color corrected RAW files from my photographer when I thought I was getting TIf or PSD files. I need to put them into an in design doc to send out for printing. Is there a way to convert all of these in one fell swoop without messing up the work that has already been done?
I didn't allow in my timing to save each one individually since i didn't know I was going to need to do this. I am really unfamiliar with batch processing, so how to best go about this, or if I even can. I am working in Photoshop CS6. version 13.06 x 64.
Photoshop CS6 Extened won't play or process Dolby Digital (AC-3) Audio Files from my AVCHD video files.The video plays fine just no sound at all. When processed still no sound. Are there any (AC-3) audio codecs I can download and install. How would I install them. Do I need to convert audio files to another format & if so how & what format.
one of our users is opening AutoCAD from Vault, accessing his files this way.but every file we open, the AutoCAD installed open up a new process, resulting in multi AutoCAD applications.so If I have 4 drawings open, I have 4 processes of vault open,
I'm a seasoned Photoshop/Bridge CS5 user who recently upgraded to CS6. I'm operating on windows 7 64 bit. In Bridge I just ran my first Image Processor batch, trying to convert a set of RAW .NEF files to .PSD files with a basic editing action I created applied to them. Photoshop CS6 opens the files from Bridge and applies the actions,
but then I get the "Script alert" error message "Sorry I could not process the following files" and a list of all of the files in the batch I was trying to run the script on. The files all remain open and are saved on my hard drive in a folder created by the Image Processor script, but do not close unless I manually close them. I never had this problem in CS5 where the image processor would apply the desired actions to the batch of photos one at a time, then save and close.
My camera out put is in JPEG I have no choice. While I can process jpeg with no problems in CS5 is there a better way to do this? would I be better off converting the JPEG to either tiff or psd and then process the file and then reconvert back to jpeg as the final product. I have heard so much about "lossy"(jpeg) vs "non Lossy" (tiff and psd) which are the ones I want to use?
I have finished scanning a number of old family photos and have used Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9) to “tag” and add “captions” to each photo. The photos vary in size and are saved in tif format. All of the work I have done so far was using the Organizer in PSE9.
When using the slideshow function of PSE9, I can view the photos and see the caption written over the bottom of the photos. Using other software to view the photos does not show the captions.
I have gone to the Edit screen of PSE9 and under File there is Process Multiple Files. Clicking that I have selected the options in the Labels section to add a caption, checked description, default font, 75 Opacity, default color. Having processed the multiple files, I thought when opening the processed photos I would see the caption I entered in the Organizer along the bottom of the photos. However, the caption does not appear when I view the photos. Am I misunderstanding something here? Would the captions only appear if I print the photo?
Its a jpg, I need to add it to about 400 photo's quick.I know how to add a watermark using process multiple files, but he wants his logo on the photo's.
After getting straightened out about getting my catalogs in order, which I've done, I've run into another problem. I have three catalogs one for People, one for Things and one I call Workplace where I try out things that are new to me so I don't mess up my main catalogs.
I've straightened out the files in my Things catalog. I have one catagory that contains images of autograph book pages from the late 1800s. Those scans were done in JPEG some time ago. I've tried using multiple processing to change these 55 images to psd in the original file to be consistent with the rest of the catalog. Each time the process fails.
In order to see what the problem might be I have copied the catagory file into both of my other catalogs and have been able to process the catagory file back into itself as psd. I have also created another small file in the Things catalog and tried to convert it and had the same result. The warning info box that appears when copying back into the same file states that the original files will be overwritten. The psd files do not overwrite the jpg files. They are added to the original file. That may be the way it is intended to be. That's not a real problem.
The real question is why can't I process multiple files in the original catalog. I have looked at the error file and, although I don't know much about most of it, I found the following in the first part of the file.
crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"
I run XP SP3 and PSE 8. I am a single user with administrator rights. I find no mention of a permission filter in the PSE 8 program.
I am trying to figure out how to batch process multiple files with Elements 11. I have installed Imagenomic Plug Ins with Elements 11. I have also installed the supplied ATN action files created by Imagenomic for Photoshop. These actions work fine with Elements 11. I need to figure out how to utilize, or select, the Noiseware Plug In option within Elements Batch Process configuration window. It appears I can only apply the default mods provided by Elements and can't see any of the Imagenomic Plug Ins as Batch Process options.
I am trying to MOVE folders from my Desktop to an External Drive. Error "An error has occurred during the move process. Some files may not have been processed." I regularly Move Folders and I've never had problems before.
When I try to use the Process Multiple Files feature, it is giving me a message saying that the process was stopped or cancelled. Press continue or stop. When I click continue, it say that the folder is empty. It is not empty. This is what I use all the time to put my watermark on my photos.
How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg. Ive tried and it seems to go through the files but doesnt seem to process them or store them in the selected folder
Working in BRidge and Photoshop CS6:I have 160 color adjusted hi-res CR2 RAW files from my photographer, thought I was getting tifs. I need tifs for my INdesign file. I tried using the photoshop image proecessor through brige by selecting all my images and then saving as TIFFs but I am losing all my color correcting? Is there a way to save these out as tiffs as a group and not one at a time? I also might have lost my color correcting when I copies them all to one folder as well...not sure what is happening except now my great product shots look like crap.
Is it possible to take 3-4 effects, all mixed together, like brush stroke, solarise, warp sharp, neon... mix them all together, and process a number of pictures while changing the mix level of each effect, and also varying some of the effect settings, such as brush size, brightness, etc...
are there any scripts that can do that? any macro plugins that can control other plugins? is there a crafty programming trick that could be fashioned to vary and mix effects across a task of batch processing?
I made a Photoshop® script (action) which works perfectly. (Open .PDF files in Photoshop®, to after save them as .JPG files into another folder)
The problem comes when I launch a batch process. It takes a while to the computer to open the large .PDF files, and when a file is opened, well it doesn't go through the whole script. In fact, Photoshop® already open the second file and so on. Then without running the rest of the script/action .
My studio has been using the Photoshop COM interop to do some automation which has worked really well for us, but just today I got this COM exception:
System.OutOfMemoryException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {99AEA70E-4D13-44BF-A878-33345CBFCBC8} failed due to the following error: 8007000e Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000E (E_OUTOFMEMORY)).
which was weird since I wasn't anywhere close to being OOM...my system has 32 GB and i still had 16+GB free and ~600 GB of space on my HDD.
In any case, after that event, when I start Photoshop, the UI is active for maybe about 5 seconds before it becomes unresponsive and sits frozen for about 3 or 4 minutes before it goes 'magic-desktop'....crashes with no errors or dialogs.
Any runtime logs that Photoshop CS6 generates where I can look for more info on what might be going on?
Recently installed CS6 web premium on my computer. PSD 3D functions crash program everytime. I am using an ATI Raedon 4650 card, driver version 8.730.0.0.
i've been noticing that the program has seemed to run slower than it was a few months ago - taking longer to load up, buttons being unresponsive for a few seconds, etc. recently i noticed if i'm saving my psd file as a jpeg it will 'hang' for several seconds with the "ok" button greyed out. after several seconds it will turn blue but when i click it, it acts unresponsive but after a few more seconds it saves the document. but there's no click animation or whatever you might call it.
some specs - intel core i3/ 3.06GHz/ 4MB/ ATI Radeon HD 4670
I open the software, optimize the database, hit the triangle button and click "find duplicates." This freezes the software each and every time.
Virus caused me to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the software. The problem is the software has about 2 or 3 times the pictures it should it shows previous edits and two pictures and on top of that edited the pictures as it imported them so some pictures appear 3 times. I really need to get this taken care of. Using 64 bit Windows 7.
I'm running Photoshop CS6 x64 on a Lenovo T510 running Windows 7 x64.
My Lenovo T510 laptop will automatically switch from Intel HD Graphics adapter (CS6 reports The Intel HD graphics card doesn't work with CS6's "Use Graphics Processor") when undocked to NVidia graphics adapter (CS6 reports as NVS 3100M/PCIe/SSE2) when docked. See [URL]
Unfortunately, this means that undocking with CS6's default settings will hang Photoshop.exe with 100% of one CPU core. Photoshop recovers again after the PC is docked and the NVidia graphics adapter is enabled again.
When I turn off CS6's hardware acceleration, the problem goes away.
Updates says I have the latest Photoshop CS6 installed.
It's brand-new install and I haven't changed any settings since installation.
This seems like a bug in Photoshop: PS should be smart enough to realize that the graphics card has changed instead of hanging the CPU.
I have thousands of images and I want to create a resized copy of each in a new tree, is there a way of using scripts to traverse a tree of folders, resize each image and create the new image in a new folder tree? I know this is quite advanced but doing it manually (even with scripts) would take ages.
