Photoshop :: Showing WIA Scanner Devices That Are Not There
Sep 20, 2013
When scanning a paper with an external USB scanner I use File->Import->WIA support.But for some reason I always see multiple scanners in the list of icons, although I only have one scanner connected.
It seems like there is an icon shown for each USB port the device once was connected on, but I never know which icon is routed to the USB port the scanner is connected now.The 'wrong icons' throw an error message, so I always have to test all the icons until I found the right icon.
I used PS and an Epson 1650 scanner for many years. Bought a new Win 7 64 bit computer recently and installed CS 6 Extended . Now, when I try to import from the scanner I get the error msg: "No WIA compatible devices were detected."
I was just working on a Photoshop document and I wanted to view in actual size and thought I'd use a shortcut. I tried the F7, but that had no effect. Then I tried (or thought I tried) a shortcut that works with other Adobe products. But what I pressed was, I think, Command+1, which turned my document into what appeared to be black and white but what I think was just the red channel. "Undo" and "Step Backword" did nothing. I don't work with channels and it took me a while to figure out how to see all my colors again. One of the things I tried was to change the mode from 8 bit to 32 bit. Now my doc is ready but I can't save it for Web and Devices. I tried going back and changing it back to 8 bit color, but it says if I do that it will merge all my layers and I don't want to do that. Any ideas? It's so annoying. All I did was accidentally press the wrong shortcut and now it seems like I am going to have to start the whole project from scratch.
I have sliced all my pieces in PS. I then went to Save for Web and Devices. For some reason my slice tool cannot be grabbed (I click on it and it doesn't turn to slicer). Also, the color table is all gray. No colors. I am going nuts! I have tried everything to make them appear.
I am taking a DW class (didnt know I had to have extensive knowledge in PS first, so now learning both programs for school), and my project was due last night. I need to hand it in Thur night but I can't do the things I need to in order to get it ready for DW.
I have done this before many times without a hitch.
I am using a psd format that I designed. It is no more complex than others I have done. It is small, just a horizontal navbar about the size of the one on Apple's website.
I tried exporting it, flattening it, slicing it removing the slices.
I think it is a problem with the application itself.
I have tried repairing my permissions, restarting, and holding Cmd, Opt, Control, Shift during PS startup to reset the settings.
I was turning a mov. file into a gif. When I was finished I went to save for web & devices and after it finished loading... the gif couldn't be seen but a coral pink box took the space. Then I get a message stateing that Adobe CS5.1 is not responding... Then it closes down the program. I'm able to make other gifs. Even ones with more frames.They all turn out to be fine. It's just this certain one I try to make that always ends up closeing down the program. The file size is 248MB and the gif I'm trying to make only needs 91 frames. I even used the same mov. file and made a different gif from it and it worked perfectly! I've tried reinstalling but that didn't fix anything.
When hitting saving for web and devices, Photoshop starts to render images but before it's done, it crashes. I get an error-popup with no text and the screen where normally the animation is shown is red. Then Windows comes with a crash report and I can only quit Photoshop. I have an animation of over 150 frames, but just some black and white lines, no color. I'm using Photoshop CS 5.5 on Win7.
I tried deleting the preferences in AppData/Roaming etc, but no result, still crashes.My Photoshop is also updated to the latest version.
I have just started receiveing an error message when I go to preview a page in a browser. I am using Vista and have Photoshop CS4. The error message reads "Could not complete operationg. A file by that name already exists" (see below). Does anyone have a solution?
I try to hit Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to save for web and devices, and nothing comes up. So I click the file menu and I see the option is grayed out. I thought resetting itwould help, but it keeps happening, then somebody told me it was the size of the picture, but that can't be it, because I couldn't save a picture 5"x5", and that isn't too big. I have a feeling it may be the color settings,
Ive created a mini animation where by the eyes change colour.I click on save for web & devices and it takes a while to come up.When it does the image is pink until i move it around.Then when i got to save it either crashes or goes to the save screen where i can click save but most of the time the save button does not work.When it does work i get a blank black box that does not render and then the program stops responding.What should i do?
I had to reinstall Windows XP pro and all my software applications, which includes Adobe Creative Suite Design (standard edition). All loaded well and my computer is up and running nicely.
only one problem.... in Photoshop the "Save for web and devices..." function is grayed out and unavailable. :-(
This is a feature I use quite a lot. Before I try uninstalling and re-installing, which, as you probably know is a lengthy process with these Adobe products, I'd like to first verify if this is a known problem and/or something I can deal with without re-installing Photoshop.
I cannot save for web and devices for some reason. I get the error message shown in the screen shot below.
I'm using CS5 extended, version 12.1, 64 bit. My OS is windows 7. It doesn't matter whether it's a JPG file or a PSD, I get the same error message, and I am unable to find a solution so far.
For some reaosn when i save my image in cs4 it chnages the colour Above is the original and as you can see all same comlourI save it then the below happens How do i stop this
I used CS6 standard. Why have some images have soft edges under retina (iPad 3) but sharp on a screen (non-retina)? Does this mean I will have to rework all my images to work with retina display? As most of my images are 72dpi, not sure if this relevant or not?
Since I have a new laptop with Windows 8, I couldn't get Photoshop CS6 anymore, so I downloaded PS CC. It's working great the last days, but since yesterday PS freezes or closes every time I try to save a .gif in save for web and devices.
I have a hardware/software monitor calibrator to calibrate my desktop PC monitor for Photoshop work. However, when I transfer these photos to my phone, they display with an ugly color tint.
Is there anyway to display photos correctly on a cellphone or tablet that cannot be calibrated? In theory, it should be possible to generate a color profile for the phone/tablet and store the profile on a PC. Then I can convert photos to this color profile in Photoshop before transferring to the phone/tablet.
I'm using PS5.1. When I try to Save for Web & Devices I'm getting write permission errors. I haven't used this application for over a year, but it used to work fine.I also used the Mac Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
Issue is this: Photoshop's 'Save for Web & Devices' indicated file size does not appear to match size of actual exported file. I made a couple dozen animated gif banner ads that are required to be under 40k. I'm using PShop CS5 v 12.0.4 x64. I'm on an iMac osx 10.6.8
Save for Web & Devices says a file will be 39.97k
I click Preview to see the animation and get details. It agrees, preview file is 39.97k
So I save, and look at exported file in Finder (Get Info) And it is 57k
I understand that this is portion of the hard drive used for storage and bigger than 39.97k because of smallest chunk size that can be allocated by Finder. But isn't second number (53,337 bytes) actual file size?
So, question:
1) Is the file size still actually just 39.97k and if so is there a way to see this to prove to myself and the client?
2) If saved file is truly larger than export size indicated by photoshop, is there a straightforward way to accurately predict size at which file will be saved? Or is trial-and-error my best bet.
So what is a good reliable capture device that works with X3 and won't mess up on me? I've looked at ezcap, the real one, and I'm still not sure. BTW it has to be USB as I use my laptop.
I have a GTX 590 and a Geforce 7600GT graphic card installed in my system. Now, in the Iray Render Dialog it says that "No supported cuda devices detected".
I know that the GTX 590 IS a cuda device and is also a multi-gpu so that it should find 2 cuda devices on my system.
Cuda is installed and I use the latest drivers from nvidia "296.10".
Currently running on MAC OS Mountain Lion. Illustrator CS6, Creative Cloud Download - Up-to-date
Tested using a small file size and art board, and both save for devices and exporting just gives a loading wheel with no results (let it go for 2 hours before restarting). We have tried reinstalling program with no change in results. The process works fine with the same creative cloud account on a Mac running Lion.
When Saving for Web and Devices in Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2), the application now freezes and has to be force quit.
HOWEVER if I delete the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder all works well until I quit the application, then the freeze will happen again. I created a new user and all was fine for that user so I transferred everything across... a laborious task.
what has triggered this AGAIN?...
Running: Mac OS X 10.6.6 Mac Pro tower.
Note: have uninstalled, reinstalled, updated 15.0.1 - 15.0.2 have deleted all font caches have deleted everything... that could be related...
HOWEVER have narrowed it down to the 'Adobe Illustrator Prefs' file in the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder too note this is not the folder permissions issue, am aware of that and have thoroughly checked all permissions, ran disk utility and disk warrior.
I'm having issues with the audio on a video after it has been uploaded to a couple video sharing sites. The issue is the audio works on some computers and not on others. It's also not working on smart devices? It works fne on my computer but some people are only hearing the background music and not the audio from the speaker.
What I am proposing to do is this: I have been asked to do the video for a friend's wedding. I would like to use a seperate audio recorder to record the audio of the wedding while I do the video on my camcorder. Then import the seperate audio track into VS X4 and sync it up with the video. The reason I am going to this extra trouble is that the built-in microphones on my camcorder are not that great unless I am "up close and personal" with the subject of the video. I have tried a short clip using an old MP3 player that records mono sound files and it appears to work well for the short video clip. What about with a longer clip, say up to an hour? If so, were there any problems keeping the video and audio tracks in sync?
I produced a 4-track project which contains video, video-overlay, background music and a voiceover narration. I produced it in high-def.Everything plays on a pc and on a tablet but when played on a mobile device the narration is not heard.
I have made several projects this way and everytime I go to play the video on a cell phone you cannot hear my narration.
I have a new computer that has Windows 8. I have attempted this with BOTH Gimp 2.8 AND 2.6. I have a regular Wacom Bamboo Tablet.
I've been hunting online for HOURS, and all I find are the same answers that don't work for me. What I find are answers like "Enable the pen and eraser in the Devices menu" and such and such. No, that does not work. Only the core pointer shows up in the devices menu, and there is NO WAY to change that. In the Input Controllers menu, what show up are DirectX DirectInput, Mouse Buttons, Keyboard, and Main Mouse Wheel. All of these are activated. Despite every attempt I've made, nothing changes. The tablet pen and eraser DOES NOT SHOW UP AT ALL.
Again, Core Pointer is the ONLY device that appears in the Input Devices. All available controllers are active. The tablet is plugged in, and YES, I opened Gimp WITH the tablet. I'm an artist who uses Gimp, so not having the ability to draw is like not having my lifeblood.
The problem occurs since the GIMP requires GTK+ version >= 2.24.7 (Around November 25).
Currently I have to date the latest versions from Git of babl, gegl and GIMP. Gtk +-2.24.8, glib-2.31.2, pango-1.29.5.In Edit > Preferences > Input Devices > Configure Extended Input Devices only shows "Core Pointer". Do not show my mouse or my Genius tablet, which before the version I had mentioned they appeared and everything worked.
In Gimp 2.6 everything works tooI tried deleting the ~/.Gimp-2.7/ folder but the new generated "device.rc" file only shows "Core Pointer".My distribution is Kubuntu Oneiric 11.10 64bit.xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core = 1.10.4
I'm trying to make the same artwork run on both iOS and Android devices. Each project needs to be 165% bigger for Android how would I go about doing this. I'm using InDesign to DPS for iOS and a bespoke app for Android.
I was wondering if there was a way to import devices on the same rung but in parallel. In addition, maybe even sereral devices going into another (ex: 3 phase motor).
