Photoshop :: Reverting Preferences?

Sep 20, 2006

I've been noticing that my preferences for Photoshop (and InDesign too) occassionally revert back to their defaults on their own (rulers default back to pixels or picas, workspace defaults back to the original state and so forth). It was mildly annoying, but does anyone know why this is happening? Has anyone else experienced this? Not the most earth-shattering of problems but obviously not normal...(makes you wonder if something more serious may be lurking behind the scenes).

I know to change rulers permanently you need to do it with all documents closed, so that's not it (I'm sure that would be everyone's first piece of advice).

Particulars: CS2, Windows XP (I'd like to blame Windows!), doesn't appear to be any pattern to when it occurs other than it happens on a relaunch of the program, not in mid-stream while you're working. More interesting, I see it happening on 3 different systems (which makes me think it's something with Adobe or Windows, not my flukey PC )

Photoshop :: Reverting Image

Jun 24, 2006

I have edited a picture using MS Paint. Its a mistake actually, i accidentally CUT a portion off ( the portion becomes white space ) and save it.

When i view the picture in Photoshop, Picasa, or any other image viewer, the white space is there. However, when i see my picture in thumbnail mode in My Pictures folder, the original image is there ( the thumbnail is unedited ). Question is, anybody can advice me how can i get the original picture back? Is there any way i could go around?

Photoshop :: Image Adjustments Reverting

Sep 22, 2013

I'm trying to create a pretty simple "starfield" by using noise and then playing with the Levels. When I go to adjust the levels, everything looks good in the preview. However, when I click "ok" the image reverts back to what it looked like before, with maybe a VERY slight change, but nowhere close to what my preview had shown originally. I'm not sure what could be causing this, but it does the same thing whether I try levels, brightness/contrast, and threshhold.

Photoshop :: Reverting To Original RAW Image In ACR?

Nov 5, 2012

In the past I have almost always used Nikon's Capture NX2 as my RAW editor. In that, it's immediately obvious how to get back to the original NEF camera image, or even choose to go back to different stages in the editing history.
 
There seems no obvious way to do this in ACR. For example I made a mistake in a RAW edit, but when I reopened the RAW image again from Bridge I got the edited version with the unwanted error., I would like ACR to do what Nikon Capture can do.
 
I have also just found that, when trying to assign a keyword to this file in Bridge, I got got an "...error writing metadata" message. All the other NEF files in that folder (none of which have yet been edited in ACR) accepted the keywords with no problems.
 
Since writing the above, I have found that this "error writing metadata" is a common issue for which there seems no solution - it extends back to earlier versions of Bridge (I have CS6 64-bit with vety latest updates).

Photoshop :: CS6 Reverting Back To Standard Settings

Sep 1, 2012

Ever since I downloaded the latest 13.0.1 update to CS6 two days ago, my custom settings keep resetting to every time I close down and reopen the program.  Even my custom brushes keep disappearing and require reloading.  This is getting maddening!  Why is it happening and what can I do to fix it?

Photoshop :: How To Stop CS6 From Reverting To Previous Layer

Aug 7, 2013

I want to edit on a certain layer, for example layer 1: My current layer happens to be layer 2, so: I click on layer 1 to make it current. I do the editing & it isn't quite what I want, so I undo theaction. As I undo the action, CS6 also undoes my layer change (i.e makes tolayer 2 current again) even though I want layer 1 to remain the current one. Is there any way to change this in edit preferences or somewhere?

Photoshop :: Pen Tool Boolean Buttons Keep Reverting To Exclude

May 11, 2012

I found what I think is a bug in Photoshop CS6. The Pen tool keeps reverting back to the "Exclude" boolean mode every time you select the Pen tool. In previous versions of Photoshop, the boolean mode stayed at whatever mode it was set at when no paths were selected.

Photoshop :: CS6 - Reverting Cursors Which Have Arrows In Top Left Corner

Aug 12, 2012

I've been using photoshop CS6 since it came out of beta, and I've been happy with 99% of the interface changes, except for some of the the new tool cursors which now have arrows in the upper left corner. I've been meaning to post this a while ago, but it seemed that the forums were offline.
 
One example is the crop tool, but what mainly hinders me are the lassos and paint bucket cursor icons. Is there any way I can replace those with the original ones from cs5 and prior?
 
When you pick up a tool, and it has an icon of an object (i.e. a lasso), your instinct is to look at and use the tip of that object, not some little black arrow in a corner.

For example, you wouldn't want to have an arrow next to your text cursor, or next to your magic wand cursor, would you? You'd want to use the tip of the wand.
 
I'm not sure what part of the user community suggested these little arrows be added on those tools, but I find it to be a bad design idea. And it's an annoying choice imo, beacause it doesn't make sense from an interaction design point of view, and not because it would be hard for me to get wrid of my habit of using the tip of the lasso, and to get used to the arrow instead. It's bad, because now, there are two conflicting pointers in the same tool: the icon tip and the arrow tip.
 
[EDIT] I'm sure people will say that they prefer the new design, arguing about "design consistency" and whatnot. So this is why I ask if there's a way for me to replace the cursors in my photoshop, not everyone's.

Photoshop Elements :: Organizer Reverting To First Photo After Using Full Screen / Editor On Raw Photos?

Jun 25, 2013

I have upgraded from pse9 to 11 and after selecting a photo in organiser then viewing in full screen and enlarging to 100% then exiting, organiser loses the highlight and reverts to the first photo. This also occurs when the photo is edited and saved you have to find where the editedd photo has gone to, it is time consuming when you have a large number of photos in the organiser. pse9 did not do this.Also pse11 does not sort photos properly by the shot date especially when the photos ard edited

AutoCAD Inventor :: Template Files Reverting To Default

Aug 5, 2013

We have a problem whereby our Templates revert back to a Default state. This is totally random.

One operator can create a drawing with the correct template loading up, and seconds later another operator will report that an old 'Inventor' default template has loaded up. On investigation it appears all templates marked as "standard" revert back to older versions.

I have made the Templates read only, but the problem still persists.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Project File Reverting To Default?

Sep 22, 2009

Has seen Inventor randomly reset a users project file from whatever it's set at to Default?

I have a couple of users here that for whatever reason have a habit of closing out Inventor everytime they want to close out one file and open another...yes, if they work on 10 files in one day, they've opened and closed Inventor 10 times...i.e. open, close, open, close, etc.

I've seen the project file reset happen on thier stations only thusfar.

Illustrator :: Fill Color Keeps Reverting To None When Drawing Strokes With Brush

Oct 24, 2012

When drawing 'strokes' in CS6 with brush, the `Fill` color will keep reverting back to 'None' no matter what I previously set it to. I'd like both fill and stroke color to retain their values as I previously set it, but it appears that fill color will retain value only if I draw shapes that do have a fill. It seems as though illustrator responds to the fact that I am drawing strokes only by redefining the fill value to be 'none'.

Photoshop :: Where's Preferences In CS 4?

Apr 2, 2009

I open PS and am attempting to remove previous preferences, nothing opens up asking if I want to do this.

I don't see Preferences in any Adobe subfolder to remove it, so I'm assuming that they are not being deleted for the "lessons"

Photoshop :: Have To Keep Resetting CS5 Preferences

Oct 14, 2012

I'm running PS5 on Mac OS Mountain Lion. I'm having to reset the preferences file a lot at the moment, as some of the presets are going missing from the drop down box.

This is happening in the Levels adjustment dialog box. So, when I reset the preferences file the drop down presets that come with PS5 then reappear. Does the preferences file keep getting corrupted? If so, why?

Photoshop :: How To Save Preferences

Aug 30, 2012

I am preparing to install a new hard drive in my computer and I don't want to lose all of my preferences.  How can I save these to reload after the install? I am using Adobe CS4 Extended v. 11.0.2 on a WIN XP Pro sp3 machine.
 
Also, will my preferences carry over to Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium?
 
P.S. My current hard drive has suffered two crashes already so I'm hoping to get the hard drive switched over as soon as it arrives (next day or 2).

Photoshop :: CS6 - Zoom Preferences

Jan 7, 2013

I recently upgraded to CS6. I don't like the way Photoshop zooms now. I've looked around in the Help section, but I'm guessing I'm not using the correct terminology. Basically, I want the zoom to work as it did in CS4.

I want to draw a marquee selection, and when I release the mouse... that is the section it zooms in on. I've played with all the zoom preferences, and I can't get it to do this. How can I make this work?

Photoshop :: Can't Get Preferences To Stick

Oct 8, 2013

So I've had this problem for awhile, and thinking that everything would be repaired upon switching to an SSD and clean installing Adobe, my dang preferences REFUSE to save. I set them, restart, check, nothing. I've gone in and deleted my photoshop preference files hoping it would just create a new com.adobe.blah, but no, my program has a mind of its own.
 
I haven't noticed this problem within any other CC app I use, just Photoshop.It annoys me so much because I hate the application frame with a passion. It's an OCD thing.
