I don't like Lightroom, and when I tried the trial of CS6, I could not find a way to get rid of the big box that obscures the desktop. Is there a way to default back to the "classic CS5" look? Also, I prefer the previous version of Camera RAW.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have PS CS5 on my laptop and desktop. I have Mac os x 10.6.4 on both computers. I have a new Lexmark s605 printer set up wireless that I use for general stuff and an Epson 2400 for photos.
I can print from all applications to the Lexmark from my desktop except Photoshop CS5. It goes to the print queue and shows "Printing page 1 of 1" but just hangs, never prints. I can print from PS CS5 from my desktop to my Epson 2400. I can print from PS CS5 (wireless) from my laptop with no problem.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and PS CS5 on my desktop, same result. All the firmware, systems and applications are up to date. I am using 64 bit which prints from the laptop. I tried 32 bit just for the heck of it from the desktop and it did not make a difference. I've tried Lexmark support and Adobe support without much luck.  Adobe says it is Lexmark, Lexmark says it is Adobe. Adobe says it does not support networked printers?Â
How do I get the icon for Photoshop on my desktop?
View 2 Replies View RelatedVery strange reactions from Photoshop CS6 when used on my Lenovo ThinkPad in an extended desktop situation. Any attempt to open an image in Photoshop is unsuccessful in showing the actual image, despite the layers box showing the thumbnail, the "open ifle" text box at the top indicating it is open, and the image details box also indicating correct data for the image file. If I close down extended desktop Photoshop works just fine. If I extend the desktop once Photoshop is running, I can move the open window to the extended desktop and it also works fine. Once I close Photoshop I am back to square one.

If I do file>automate>batch and then go to choose folder, the only folders I can access is the desktop. There are no plus signs and no other options except desktop. The same thing happens if I go file>scripts>image processor. Someone told me this could be a permissions problem with Vista.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Remote Desktop quite a bit to login to my computer and use programs installed on there. A frequent one is Adobe Photoshop. When I do my work in Remote Desktop everything works great, but when I'm actually at home on my pc it loads everything and the splash screen goes away and then all of a sudden it has "Photoshop CS4 has stopped working" error.
It turns out it is doing this with all of my adobe products. I am using Vista 32-Bit and all the products are CS4. One more thing I noticed is if I open Photoshop in remote desktop then login to my computer I can use it without error.
i recently fixed a virus on my computer after a few days hard work tracking it down, and since then i have experienced no blue screens anymore, but i had a probel with explorer.exe where it used sometimes over 800MB of memory doing nothing. With more research and monitoring, i discovered its cause was actually a corupt music file on my desktop, and every time i refreshed my desktop, explorer's memory usage would jump up a few dozen more kb of memory.
This is now fixed. BUT, i still have one symptom of something wrong, that doesnt seem to go. My PC is back to being fast it seems now, and there is no noticable real lag between just opening folders like there was, but my desktop still has problems. If i close a full screen program, the computer doesn't exactly slow down, its just the program closes very slightly slower than normal because it closes from top to bottom.
MSN in particular, always leves it's title bar behind when closed. And if i click and drag on my desktop, the little dashed box it makes sticks and doesn't go away. All of this is resolved by a refresh of the desktop, but it doesn't explain why it is happening. Windows XP 32bitNVidia 9800GTX GPU4GB RAM
Here we have a wallpaper I am trying to pick apart piece by piece. To do so, I am making my own with a different character, color scheme, etc. I am just using this wallpaper as a guide since I like the general layout quite a bit.
There are a few areas I would like help with, but first...
Here is what I have worked out.
1. The hex grid I have made, along with the fill patterns and split character image (thanks to Aegis.)
Here is where I am stumped.
1. How do you created the white transparent "reticule-esque" areas in the center of the page. I assume you could create something in illustrator and import it, or work in photoshop alone. But the shapes seem quite complicated and I was curious if anyone had any ideas how to best create them. I know you would certainly need to use the grid to keep things lined up.
2. The other area of interest is the series of small white vertical bars coming off each black horizontal line. Each on is maybe 10 pixels in height and fades from white to transparent as they move up. Making one wouldn’t be too hard (Perhaps using a brush with a fade setting or filling a Marquee with a gradient), but making 200 seems like it might be tough. I suppose you could make a pattern and "fill" alone the length of the black lines, but there might be a better way.
3. The character has some really net white blur/highlighting going on especially on the top and bottom sections. If I had to take a guess, Id say a filter was probably used, though I have no idea which. That or maybe brightness/contrast settings.
Yesterday there was an update to the Desktop Cloud app which I agreed to and started to download.

During the download process it failed and now the Cloud desktop app is missing from my computer and I can't find a way to get it back.
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)).Â
Â
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.
Â
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.Â

Any runtime logs that Photoshop CS6 generates where I can look for more info on what might be going on?

Â
How much video memory do I need? When I look at the Nvidia Quadro series, there's a big jump in price from entry-level to mid-level, but only the mid-level has 2GB. For desktop cards, even some of the lower-end ones have 2GB. Would the extra memory be good for working with image stacks and panorama stitching?
Â
For the more expensive desktop cards, are you mostly paying for enhanced gaming capabilities, or would it be a general overall improvement in performance?
Â
Most of the reviews I see for workstation cards are oriented towards people who do do a lot of 3D. Like I said, I don't do a lot, but I do some. Would something like a Quadro K600 give me a performance boost in Photoshop? Or might I be just as happy with a lower-mid-range desktop card?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got CS6 (OS 10.6.8) yesterday and am having a problem with windows containing an image. When I drag an image onto the PS6 icon, the image opens at 0.456%. I enlarge it to 100%, using cmd-1 (actual pixels), the image resizes to 100%, but the window does not also enlarge, so I have to resize the window to see the entire image. If I press cmd-0 (fit on screen) the image goes back to 0.456%, just the opposite as it should behave. This occurs with all images and is making PS6 unusable. Also, is there anyway to get rid of that canvas that's hiding my desktop?
