Photoshop :: Using Empty Level Adjustment In CS3

Aug 18, 2008

Operating System:

Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3)

Software:

Adobe Design Premium CS3 (10.0.1)

Photoshop Lightroom 4.1 and Lightroom 2.0 - on Trial)

For reasons that I cannot fully explain all my images are now opening as "Smart Objects" rather than "Background Layers" in CS3

I have also lost the capacity to "Dodge" (Multiply blend mode) or "Burn" (Screen blend mode)images with empty "Levels" adjustment layers.

I am able to highlight the respective layer and create the empty Levels adjustment layer, change the blend mode to either Multiply or Screen, fill the Layer Mask with Black (Alt & backspace), change the opacity level as desired, select the brush tool and change the foreground colour to white to enable the applicable Dodge or Burn processes.

Unfortunately, it does not function irrespective of the preferred opacity level. The Dodge or Burn feature is static with no effect on the image.

I cannot recall any settings to open all files as Smart Objects in Photoshop CS3 but would welcome some help in identifying such a setting if it exists. Alternatively, I would welcome any other suggested methods of correcting the above difficulties.

Respect to John Beardy for his guidance and suggestions about working differently with the "Smart Objects".

I would, however, welcome some help in regaining the capacity to work effectively with empty "Levels" adjustment layers.

Illustrator :: Differentiate Empty And Non-empty Pixels

Oct 31, 2013

I'm a web developer currently slicing an illustrator file for web graphics. Some of the icons and images have shadows, lights, etc, and it's impossible to simply see by a naked eye which pixels contains some shade or nearly transparent color and which doesn't.
 
It would be extremely useful if I could somehow easily differentiate between empty and non-empty pixels, so I wouldn't miss any when slicing.

Photoshop :: Modify Luminance Level Based On Existing Luminance Level

Oct 29, 2012

Say I have an image where I'm attempting to extract a mask from and I've found that one of the channels will serve as a good starting point. Further suppose that I have found that I want to increase the luminance level of pixels in the range of 60 - 65 by 10 luminance levels each:
 
i.e. all pixels with luminance values of 60,61,62,63,64,65 would, after the operation have luminance values of 70,71,72,73,74,75. Is such a thing possible with Photoshop?

Photoshop :: 5.1 - Could Not Initialize CS Because File Is Empty

Apr 24, 2012

I tried to start Photoshop 5.1 64bit today, and it shows the blue intro screen with the reading and loading, and then it goes to a popup error message that reads, "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is empty." I can run the 32bit version fine, but I would prefer to use the 64bit version. I am running Windows 64bit Ultimate. I have been having issues here and there with CS5.5 on this computer. I ran CS4 fine for the last few years, but since after the upgrade, things have been acting weird. About two weeks ago, InDesign refused to work, so I did a reinstall. Then, two days later, I was having other issues, so I did another reinstall. Before that, Illustrator was having issues, so I had to copy programs files from my office computer to my home computer to make it work. I am starting to wonder if my hard drive is going out. Is there an Adobe fix for just Photoshop? I have the CS5.5 installation DVDs here. I tried copying the Photoshop.exe from my office computer to my home computer and replacing it, but it didn't work either.

Photoshop :: Selected Area Empty

Oct 14, 2007

I want to move and rotate a selection but PS (CS3) gives the message it can't be done because the selected area is empty. However, if I rotate or move in the background layer or a duplicate background layer the whole image changes, I also move or rotate the backgroundstuff while I only wanted to rotate the selection.

Photoshop Elements :: Specified Path Empty

Jan 10, 2014

Having tried to install PSE12 for several times without success ( problem to establish connection with other tools), I got now an error message "specified path empty" generated by the deinstallation process. It's strange that the deinstallation process is launched because the installation always failed so far (I can't find any trace of the installation in Windows 7). Please note that I've also launched the Adobe Support tool which confirmed that everything is ok concerning the PSE12 installation prerequisits.

Photoshop :: How To Dispose Off Empty Gray Window

Oct 8, 2012

And several related questions. This is new to me in Ps CS6 (Mac OS 10.7x, dual displays). Image files always appear in a second window but will open no larger than will fit into this first window. Once open I can open my image window to extend beyond the original empty window. If I have images open and I close this empty window my images close too. How did I become so unfortunate and how do I become fortunate again?

Related questions:

In Ps CS5 I used to be able to move the image edge to well within its window to facilitate work at or near an edge. This is not possible for me in Ps CS6 and I can find no way to change it.

Photoshop :: Creating An Empty Rectangle With A Border

May 20, 2004

I know how to do it in Fireworks, but want to use PS to achieve the task ... so basically want to create an empty box, circle or whatever shape with a border x pixels wide.

The way I do it right now is to make a black rectangle, then fit a smaller white rectangle inside it, and delete the overlapping black area, that leaves me with just an outline of whatever width I choose.

Photoshop :: CS6 / Removing Empty Space From Screen Shot?

May 2, 2013

I am using Photoshop CS6 to prepare images for use in online Help and a print / pdf user guide for the company's newest software / Web app.  What do you do to remove blank space from a screen capture? I am specifically curious if you add some type of indicator that tells the user that the actual image will be larger. 

The first screen shot (left to right) is a typical screen shot that I've not edited.  In the second one, I've cut the bottom button bar and moved it up to reduce the white space in the image.  In the third image, I added a quick and dirty little "wave" to tell everyone that I've cut out some of the white space.

Photoshop :: CC - Could Not Transform Because Initial Bounding Rectangle Is Empty

Sep 17, 2013

I am running the latest version of PS CC on a MacBook Pro OS 10.8.5 with 16GB of ram. When I started my computer this morning an update from Adobe came up so I ran it.  Now the move tool and the free transform function are not working.  Literally nothing happens when I click drag with the move tool and when I try to use free transform I get an error message I've never seen:
 
"Could not transform because the initial bounding rectangle is empty.."

I was working on this computer last night using PS on the exact same files and did not run into this problem.  Perhaps it was something in the update I ran this morning? The description for the update claimed it added a new version of Camera Raw and added new camera profiles. I don't see how, but its possible that the update effected the way the tools  work, or in my case not work.
