I'm trying to use the new Photoshop CS6 blur filters. I watched the great video how to, but when I tried to use them they are not showing up. Why? I'm a Cloud member. My program is updated, but I don't seem to have these blur filter options.
I have subscribed to CC and smart filter support for blur and liquify are not working. I have first deactivated and reactivated PS CS6 extended and then tried uninstalling and reinstalling from my CC account. Neither method worked.
I want to have a Blur Oval Vignette feathered on the inside on a transparent background to use as a template. So then I could open an image, then open the template on top of the background image and would automatically have a Blur Vignette image without having to create it from scratch each time.
I'm missing the Center Pin, Ellipse, Feather Handle and the Focus Ring when I select the Iris Blur filter. The pointer is a tack symbol and am unable to change that.
I have some random curves (already created) and I want to blur them just from one side to have the same blur distance and effect one the whole curve.
To more precisely describe what I need, I need to create gradient with direction of normal for every "point". The best example I have found so far are borders in Civilization IV game. Here are two examples:
As you can see, there is a solid curve, which gradually blends (i.e. alpha channel is lowered) till the gradient disappears. I have the solid curve and the question is, what would be the simplest way how to do this (the number of curves is around 100) gradient.
can I alter the BACKGROUND COLOUR from the Grey to a lighter grey as in P/Shop Album 2.00 which is just what I want..I hate the darker colour as background..I have just purchased the Elements 11.
I just got PSE CS6 and the blur too will NOT work ....blur filters work, but not BLUR in the tools panel I have tried: unintstall/reinstall, updating, using it no a picture straight after opening it, duplicate layers, selecting an area and then blurring....flattening an image, every single different setting in the the blur tools menu bar NOTHING works. And everything I find about blur is the new blur filters....
i have outlined this pic and used the Gaussian blur , but how would i soften the edges of the blur so it doesnt look so "sharp"? I want it to kinda blend in so to say here is the pic.
I am currently running Map 3D 2012 with CadWorx and I am having an issue with one of my multi tab drawings. Any object set to plot grey (any grey), that is in paper space, is plotting black only in one of my layouts. similar objects in model space and in both spaces on other layouts are all plotting accordingly.
I tried to use the lens flare filter in Photoshop CS6.While the lighting effect is interesting, it introduces ugly artifacts like blue or orange blobs (which are supposed to be the reflection of the diaphragm, but do not look anywhere close to that, but instead are just cheesy looking blobs of color).
In the "movie prime" setting blue lines are added which have nothing to do with lens flar.On top of it, the preview is about the size of a stamp. Any way to use the filter without getting these artifacts, or is it - what I assume - just a useless toy filter, that has probably been dragged on for years and years because it's always been there? What do you use to create a lens flare effect? Are you just building it from scratch with brush work?
I've deleted my PS preferences and restarted, and I cannot get this filter to do what is was just doing a day earlier. It doesn't matter what the foreground/background colors are, nor does it matter what the resolution of the file is. I've experimented with every variable. The filter effect changes the filled layer to a solid color of the current foreground color. No lines, dots or circles at all.
I'm trying to make lines in a filled layer, or a rasterized text layer.Adjusting the sliders has no effect at this point, but the other Gallery filters DO work, oddly enough.
I've used this filter effect many times over the years, and it just started acting wonky. This is PS CS6, on Mac OSX 10.8.5.It seems to be unpredictable or temperamental. Is there a reasonably-priced plugin that will create lines that are completely adjustable?
I have Photoshop CS4 running on a 8 gig Vista 64 bit system. When I click on Filters, there is no Extract Filter. I did a search prior to posting and saw some threads talking about not moving files, icons etc from their original folder. I am un sure if anything has been moved. However, when I click on Filters, they all seem to be there (at least not greyed out), EXCEPT for the Extract filter. Any help would be apprecited and if you let me know where the filters should reside I can make sure they are in the correct location.
For my organisation, I need to remove some menus in Photoshop CS6.However, when I use Edit --> Menus, and uncheck which menus I don't want to see, "Show All Menu Items" appears.
How I can completely remove some menus, without seeing "Show All Menu Items"?
I've just bought Photoshop CS5 to stay on the upgrade path. In designing (or redesigning) the interface for CS5 and Adobe Camera Raw something seems to have gone awry.
Overlong Menus..Compared to CS4 two of Photoshop CS5's menus have lengthened so that they no longer fit on the screen of my MacBook Pro – the Edit and Layers menus. Thus, the bottom of the menu is off the bottom of the screen (or the top, if you are at the bottom of the menu). Now, it is true that the Edit menu has two more items (32 instead of 30) but the Layers menu has the same number (29 items). In CS5 all the menu text items are more widely vertically spaced leading (pun not intended) to this problem on a MacBook Pro.
The CS4 menus were perfectly legible before so why do this ? What purpose does it serve ?
ACR Disappearing Into the Dock:And using Adobe Camera Raw has a similar problem in that the the ACR window disappears into the Dock at the bottom of the screen. Now I've read Jeff Schewe's response to this in another post where he seems to think that those who use the Dock are in some way mentally deficient (I'm exaggerating to make a point) but, Jeff, some of us like the Dock and find its presence at the bottom of our screens reassuring and useful. BTW, Jeff, removing the Dock doesn't solve the CS5 menu problem. Seems to me to be sloppy design.
What would be better would be to ensure that the scale of the interfaces fits on our screens, would it not ?
Having felt I've been coerced into an early and expensive upgrade by Adobe to stay on the upgrade path is it not unreasonable to expect better?
I just recently reinstalled CS3 on a new computer, and I noticed some things are different from the other CS3 I had installed.
The most annoying thing I noticed is when I left click on one of the toolbar icons (e.g Rectangular Marquee Tool) I get a drop down box showing the other Marquee tools, as if I right clicked it.
I just want to be able to left click and select the active tool, not be bugged to choose which tool every time I click a tool with a drop down list..
I was wondering if it is possible to do drop down navigation menus in PS? The kind where when you move your mouse over a rectangle navbar link another rectangle navbar opens up beside this one with a list of relevant links.
Can this be done in PS as a sort of rollover in image ready perhaps? Could you just create the second navbar and have it hidden in the normal state but visible in the rollover state? Or is there a better way to do this?
I'm trying to make a drop down menu (er...drop side menu) all in Imageready. I made the main button and when you rollover it the side menu comes out but then when I try to click on one f theside menu slices they disappear. They dissapear because in the main button slice, i have them appear on the over state and dissapear on the out state. Is there a way to get them to work? Sorry if this is a little confusing. The only reason that I'm not following pank's tutorial is because I don'y have dreamweaver so I can't make layers like he said.
I am creating a new site to out line my web design business and I want to spice things up a LOT! I got close to the fire and realized that it was burning out of control with information I don?t currently possess. I want to create functional and appealing drop down menus without having to use much if at all possible no java script. I know you can accomplish this with style sheets but the problem is I don?t yet know how.
What I would ultimately like to accomplish is a horizontal drop down menu with multiple sub menus.
I just clean-installed PS CS6, previously coming from heavy PS CS4 experience. I extensively use tab to go to full screen for optimal viewing conditions, and I also used alt+key combinations to access the menus via keyboard and edit while in full screen. CS6 no longer allows me to do this. Is this a new limitation of CS6? Is there a way to make ALT+key menu access work again? since the tab fullscreen view is something I use very very often for undistracted analysis of my work.
I've somehow managed to corrupt all my CS3 programs (Mac). Legit copy. After launching, the window asking what file to open is blank and all the menus are greyed out.
I can't figure out how to customize popup menus. In particular, if I right-click a layer in the layer panel a huge list opens, there are far too many items that inhibit my workflow. All I want to do is hide some of them.
These are some I'd like to hide:
No Color Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Gray Postcard New 3D Extrusion From Selected Layer New 3D Extrusion
I have a new Dell XPS15 laptop with Windows 8. Installed Photoshop CS6 & all tool bars and menus are too tiny. I've contacted Dell Support and Adobe Support and everyone blames other.
My new installed copy of Photoshop CS6 has a few problems:
1. When you go to save as the file formats selections are not what you get. For instance jpeg gives you EPS. Multi Picture Format gives you jpeg. What gives?
2. One of the plugins that worked fine under filters is missing. When I copied the things from the old CS5 plugins folder to CS6 folder it still is not showing up..
I just installed PS6 and it looks awesome! Everything works fine, no issues processing photos so far. Only problem is that my drop down menus for the menu bar are blacked out with grey text. Some options don't even have the text. When I hover with my mouse, it does show the item with a blue hover background, but aside from that, nothing.
