Photoshop Elements :: All Photos Duplicated After Restoring Catalog

Jan 12, 2014

I recently had my computer reformatted and notice that following Photoshop Elements reinstall and catalog restore all my photos have been duplicated in the Adobe/digital photos folder. I have read that this is due to my computer tech restoring all photos in the original folder structure prior to me executing the catalog restore (I should have done my research first). My question is what can I do now to eliminate the duplicates? Do I delete all photos and the Adobe folders or is there an alternative?

Photoshop :: Restoring Damaged Photos - Why Healing Brush Not Work

Mar 9, 2012

how to restore damaged photos and one of the most essential tools I need is the healing brush tool BUT it wont work!
 
I create a new layer by dragging the background image down to the icon in the bottom left hand corner.Then select the healing brush tool, set it to replace, proximity match, opacity to 30%, hardness to 100%, flow to 100% and have aligned ticked.
 
Because of the disability I used a track ball mouse with a sticky mouse button. So I start to paint with the healing brush, have it clicked down but nothing really happens? The spot healing tool works o.k.ish as does the clone stamp.

I"m running CS4 Extended on a Mac......

Lightroom :: Restoring Photos To Catalog?

Aug 12, 2013

I have a folder of images that I was editing that was lost without being backed up. I had the images backed up, but all of the changes I made in LR were not backed up yet. I have restored the folder from backup to a new hard drive and I'd like to work on them without losing my previous changes. Is that possible? When I open LR it shows the thumbs of the images with a question mark. Can I reimport the photos somehow that will apply those previous edits?

Photoshop :: Restoring CS6 Icons

May 15, 2013

I have CS6 installed on a Windows 8 system.  The other day I needed to install an older version, CS2 to test a few things.  This immediately changed all the Photoshop icons for things like Actions, Plugins, Filters, etc., to the CS2 icons.
 
After testing I uninstalled CS2 assuming all the CS6 icons would return.  They didn't and now I'm left with blank white icons for things like Actions, Filters, Plugins, etc.
 
How can I get my CS6 icons back?  Will uninstalling - reinstalling CS6 restore them?  Is there an easier way?  I need them back as I'm writing some documents that require screen shots and I need those icons back.

Photoshop :: Restoring Old Photo

Aug 2, 2013

The top image looks like a negative but it's actually a print from an old, old roll of 35mm film. Most of the photos printed as faded B&Ws, but some printed like this. I'd like to restore the photo as best I can, but I'm not getting good results (second image). I first inverted the image and then desaturated. Then I did adjustments with curves. The resulting image is confusing - the light source seems backwards.

Photoshop :: Restoring Opacity

Dec 28, 2007

If there's an object with a semi-transparent part (without editable layer mask of course), is there any way to make it opaque again without ruining its original pixels?

(For those who know Corel PhotoPaint: I'm looking for the equivalent of "paint on transparency" mode)

Photoshop :: Restoring A Corrupted PSD File?

Jan 26, 2012

My computer crashed today while photoshop CS5.1 was saving/writing to a psd file. When I started my computer back up, and tried to open the file again, It only displayed 1 layer shown as a corrupted image (As Shown Below - the Red Image). When I click on the file in the "Open" window (The Gray Image Below), the psd shows up correctly in the Preview window but doesnt show correctly when opened.

I have lost all of my layers, by the way I have worked on this psd for weeks and I need some way to recover it. I have tried "corrupted psd recovery programs", they did not work. I have tried forums - I found no answer. I have tried locating the .tmp file but it is no where to be found.

Does photoshop have a cache or a history? maybe for previously saved versions of psd files? Or does Windows 7, 32 Bit have a file recovery method? I have tried a windows 7 recovery method but it only recovers files from previous restore points that may be weeks old. This is very important that I do my best to fix this psd file or at least recover some layers, I have put in too much time and effort.

Photoshop :: Restoring Pallet Locations

Mar 6, 2012

I usually use a dual monitor setup (Photoshop on one and all of my pallets on the other), but occasionally, when traveling, I need to use a single monitor. But then, when I get back to my 2-monitor setup, all of my pallet locations are lost.

Is there a file where the PS pallet locations are stored (like and ini file maybe?) that I could save elsewhere on my computer to easily restore them?

Photoshop :: Restoring Timeline Animation Panel

Dec 12, 2012

Long-time PS user here, however for 2 years now my home version of Photoshop CS4 seemingly axed the Timeline portion of its animation panel. I've sort of accepted it until now, but recently I wanted to try some hand-drawn animation. As you can see this a significant speed bump. How to restore/reopen that portion of Photoshop, or am I just crazy in thinking CS4 ever had it to begin with?
