Photoshop :: View Progress Of And / Or Cancel Lengthy Background Save In CS6?
May 24, 2012
I had a situation where I had to quit Photoshop immediately, but it wouldn’t let me because a background save was in progress. I don’t like killing a program with the Task Manager during a write operation, but that’s what I had to do.
If there’s a way to cancel a lengthy background save or to view its progress, I haven’t found it yet. There needs to be a way to do this.
I am working on a tut so that I can (try to) learn about Masks.
But for the life of me I cannot find info on what it means to ... cancel the Mask view.
( Here's the tut link ... [URL]...)
This is a pic from the tut. See in the top layer (Body) how the down arrow, folder and the link icons are grayed out?
Well, this is what the tut says to do ....
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to cancel the mask view.
I have Shift + Clicked the masks thumbnail but that doesn't give me the result like the picture above shows and I've tried the Alt + Click but that doesn't do it either.
what the author means by this ... Cancel Mask View ... ??
is there a way to get the 'classic' SAVE progress bar behavior under Ps 13..i usually save large files and can't seem to get the hang of spotting the tiny % in the title bar...
Any way this can happen in a reasonable time frame, say in a release or 2,since view creation takes so long?Or did you development guys sneak that into R9?
When I'm doing a large import, all I can see is the little white progress bar in the upper left. Since it sometimes gets hung up on an operation, it doesn't provide enough feedback about the processes.
I'd prefer to be able to double click that and see a full activity report in a new window of what is getting imported as it's happening, with a separate progress bar for each item. I'd like to see this for all other actions as well, but importing would be my priority.I requesting a new feature? I'm running Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.3 RC [858820].
When I am done working on a project for the day if I save it (save or save as) the next time I open the Vsp file, it is all in the main timeline. Can't edit titles, transitions or anything. Basically, it is like flattening an image. Using VS Pro 5 Ultimate.
Using Lightroom's new book feature? I can't find where to save a book that I am in progress with in Lightroom 4.2. Why doesn't LR have a "Save as" feature like 99% of all other programs on the planet? !"{}#@!!!
I have noticed that when exporting a Quicktime from release 5 the Background Process window wont show the actual progress so there is no way of knowing if it is working or how long will it take.

I'm trying to find a way of filtering the 'work in progress' section visibilities from a plan by view filters. The filter I use is 'Sheet Name' equal '<None>'. Then turning off visibility. It works when used in the Browser organisation filters but not in the view filter for the sheets.
I don't want to create a check box or dialogue box for the sheet as this will add to the required maintenance.
In older versions of PSP, auto-save would automatically save a copy of the work in progress every X minutes (depending on what was set by the user) and overwriting the previous version, including the original if not working on a copy of it.
In PSPX4, auto-preserve added the functionality of saving a copy of the original to avoid overwriting it, but it also has autosave setting.
Questions :
- what does the autosave do except save the image when changing from Edit to Manage to Adjust?
- does autosave automatically save a copy (even if overwriting) of the work in progress?
- if so, where do we set how frequently a save should be?
If I try to use the hints, it takes me to the sign in box. When I try to sign in, the program hangs up. I can not cancel or quit the program. I have to use a Force Quit. It appears that I am locked out of some of the features unless I am signed in. Regardless, I would like to use the hints as this program is new to me. I have also tried to sign in by clicking Sign In in the upper tool bar. Same problem.
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended Student Edition. My computer is Windows XPI continue to get the error Photoshop exe Aplication ErrorInstructions at oxofa92c5b sometimes is states oxofc42c5breference memory oxoooooo28 Memory could not be read Cancel or debug. it shuts down. no matter what you click. It does this after I get the picture open and when I click on different tools. This is newly installed on my computer and newly bought program.
When ever i insert a gradient or a photo it comes up with a progress bar which takes ages to load and it used to load in 1 second but now it takes ages , i have looked every where but there was no results, I am currently editing a Wedding Movie in a different Program but i also need to make a menu for when the DVD is in the DVD Player but i went to Photoshop to edit a photo but this happened and i have reinstalled it but nothing has changed. I have tried the Edit then Performance solution but that did nothing.
To open a 200meg PSD file in CS3 takes about 20 secs, I get this progress bar come up saying Reading Photoshop Format... is this normal?
I have a fast P4 processor, 2 gigs of Ram and large separate hardrive I'm using as the scrtch disk.
I am curious becuase my friend has a less efficient system running CS3 and he gets no progress bar or delay when opening this same image or any large image for that matter?
When I was working in Photoshop CS2 yesterday, a "Progress" Folder appeared at the bottom of my screen in the taskbar area. What is this? Never seen it before. When I clicked on the Progress folder, nothing happened.
I have successfully installed Photoshop CS3 onto Windows XP SP2. However, I do not want my install to be completely silent: I want to see a progress bar.
For silent install I use the following switch: setup.exe --mode=silent The next line in cmd says"UI:Silent"
If I use no switches (only type in setup.exe), the next line in cmd is: "UI:Full" Also, "setup.exe --mode=gui" will initiate "UI:Full".
What are other install switches? I want a silent install with a progress bar only.
Do not see that the Save In Background is working. I have 300MB Tiff files that are being saved to the local harddisk in Windows 7 with CS6. It takes about 10 seconds to save the file both with and without Save in the Background being selected.
Ive got this vector image of a fist, its going to be used for a website logo. Ive saved the image as a GIF and tried about all the combinations of dither, no dither and all the other options on the "save for web" page but im still getting these speckly white bits on the finished image.
I'm creating a 3D text logo using CS4 Illustrator and Photoshop. I created the logo in Illustrator, and copied it into Photoshop to apply color using hue and fill settings. I used the wand tool to select the top of the letters, then changed the hue on the sides, then filled the tops with a different color. I created a new layer for the selected tops. I want a transparent background, and I want to save the file as a Gif. However, when I flatten the image, I get a white background. Somehow, a white background sneaked in. Also, when I go to save the file, there is no option for a .gif. I saved it as a jpeg. But then Dreamweaver would not display it. It only showed a samll icon representing the graphic, but wouldn't display it.
1. How can I avoid having my transparent background become white?
2. Why am I not getting the option to save as a .gif?
3. why Dreamweaver wouldn't open the jpeg? Could it be size? File too wide. In the past Dreamweave automatically resizes to accomodate wide files.
Am I able to change the background colour of the view screen in PSE 11 organiser? The current background is grey, which isn't a great colour to optimise viewing images. Black would be better.
I know the way to sendCommand to AutoCAD will cancel one order . I mean is there any other way to use .net API to cancel one order but not using 'SendCommand'
I am very new to the photoshop world and am trying to remove an image from its background ( as a stand-alone) and save it. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop CS6? I have looked at tutorials but only found how to remove the image but not how to save the image as a stand alone with no background.
I have saved a image (as a BMP file) with a transparent background. I want to use this image as my wallpaper. However when I show this image on my desktop (as the wallpaper), the background shows as white white color while I was hoping that I will only see the image and the background will be transparent .

I'm having trouble saving my gif as a truly clear background image... i continue to get a white background around the image... like a line stroke. This is most obvious when I save for the web using image ready, but not as bad when perform a I save as gif function (thought it still happens). And of course, you don't see the line till you insert the image in a colored background.
The problem is my file doesn't downsize as sharp when I manually change the file size or transform it.
Same thing happens when I use Illistrator. I'm wondering if it is an outdated filter or something?
I have CS6 installed on a Mac Pro desktop, 3.3 Ghz dual-core processor, 6 GB RAM, several physical drives configured as scratch disks, and no other applications running. I CAN'T be running out of RAM.
The files I'm cropping are .PSD files, no larger than 34 Mb in size. I can't even crop a web-res image - the progress bar grinds to a near halt half way through a simple crop. The machine has not locked up and PS does respond to "cancel" commands.
Graphics card is an nVidia GE Force 8800 GT, and the drivers are the latest from nVidia.I've restarted the machine and restarted PS. Delete Photoshop preference file and try it again?
