Photoshop :: Installed Actions On Macbook And None Of Them Seem To Be Working
Oct 14, 2013I have installed actions on my new macbook and none of them seem to be working.

View 2 RepliesI recently upgraded from cs3 to cs5. I had to reinstall my 3rd party actions into cs5. They will not save into the actions palette. Everytime I restart cs5 I have to reinstall the actions and this gets tiresome. NEVER had this problem with cs3.Â
View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a couple of actions from the web to my actions palette and they worked fine, but then I got greedy and downloaded a few more and that’s when things went south. Now none of the actions work - by not working I mean when I mouse over the Play Selection icon at the bottom of the action palette I get that little circle with a line through it. This happens with the PS default actions as well (I also get the circle on the Stop Playing/Recording and Begin Recording icons).
Somewhere in the following is probably what messed things up.
I downloaded actions to my computer in zip files. Copied them over to the actions folder (or somewhere) and unzipped them. I went back to the actions palette and hit “load actions” and loaded them. On the second set of actions that I downloaded I remember thinking “why am I copying and pasting these files - I bet I should cut and paste them, so I did and that may have been the start of the great crumble of 2004. PhotoShop help says: (under Saving and loading actions) “Actions are automatically saved the the Actions Palette folder in PS7.0 Settings folder. If this file is lost or removed, the actions you created are lost”.
I have searched for the settings folder and couldn’t find it, but the actions still show up on the actions palette - they just don’t run.
I’m a little fuzzy on the details on the above steps. In fact, I probably did something different on each download.
one more thing, I reloaded PhotoShop, but still nothing.
The issue is... I use a Mackbook Pro (with Lion) my keyboard sometimes stops working when I use Photoshop (CS6, but happened the same thing with CS5) (mainly when I do digital painting with a Wacom, but just happened now, when I wasn't use it), and it doesn't work at all (not just with Photoshop)
Sometimes it starts working again on his own, but sometimes it doesn't so I need to restart the computer. Is there any Terminal command I can use to try to do like a restart to the keyboard?
I'm running CS6 from the Creative Cloud and since the latest update, Open GL is not working and I cannot use 3D.
Â
Photoshop doesn't detect a graphics processor, which disables Open GL and rasterizes all my 3D objects (that i already created on this machine).

I'm running the latest version of Cuda, Premeire Pro CS6 has been updated but my renderer options in Project settings has been greyed out and I'm stuck using "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only".

One of the plugins I use in Premiere (FilmConvert) is using OpenCL fine, but Premiere doesan't seem to reconise it.
How can i work with 3ds max 2014 on macbook pro retina using full resolution?
With resolution at 2880x1800 icon and text are too small and 3ds max seem not to do scaling.
With resolution at 1680x1050 works but image is to too blurry...
I own a Wacom tablet and I've used it for about a year now.. and now that I mostly use my Laptop, I use the wacom tablet as a mouse pad (using the mouse that comes with it). I opened up photoshop today on my laptop and I was trying to erase some things using the brush command and it didn't work.. after an hour of panic and googleing I had the idea of using the pen.. which works.
I've deleted preferences, reset tools, and everything.. but its not working. No brush commands work (Clone, Brush, Eraser, etc.) but everything else will work.
I don't get it.. Is it something with pressure maybe?
Thats the only difference between mouse and pen.. pen adds pressure sensitivity.
I can't use the pen for pixel editing as well as I can use a mouse.
I'm using a new install of Photoshop CS6 (via creative cloud) on a new iMac and getting superb performance aside from constant issues with the polygonal lasso tool.
All the other variants of the tool work fine without fault, but when using the polygonal selection , either the first 'point' won't register or subsequent 2nd or 3rd points won't register, causing photoshop to hang for a second then fill the marquee incorrectly.
I'm using a magic mouse and also tested it with a USB Logitech but still getting the same issue.

A rather bizarre issue this. I have reinstalled Elements 10 on a system with Win 8 64 bit. If I attempt to crop a portrait format photo e.g. 2009px x 3034px to 1920 x 2400, the crop frame for the width falls outside the photo. Cropping a landscape photo works correctly but the problem persists even if the portrait photo is rotated to 'landscape'.If I crop the same portrait photo on an XP system, there is no problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to use the actions panel to edit a large number of product shots quickly. I have disabled the generator, which was a possible solution I saw in another post, closed my photoshop, opened it up again and tried it on a new file.
None of my adjustment layers do what I set them out to do, but they do show up as layers in my layers panel. The only part of the action that works is my smart sharpen. I created the actions in CC and I don't know where to go next.
I've just 'upgraded' to CC, and noticed that actions that alter Curves or levels adjustment layers do not play back correctly.
The Action itself contains the right steps but nothing happens to the adjustment or the image.
I have a mac 10.7
Some of my actions in CS5 all of a sudden stopped working.  Some work, but the ones I use most frequently are not working at all. I have re-booted my computer, turned it completely off/on, re-installed the actions and the same ones aren't working. The action will run, but the brush will not work. For instance, an action called Flawless Face will run, but doesn't actually do anything when I go to "brush" the face.Â
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been running actions and using the layers panel with not problem and now neither are working.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn Photoshop CS5 I created a long action list which include lots of Shapes. I saved these action sets and loaded them into CS6. and they kept failing saying they couldn't find layer "Shape 1" "Shape 2" etc . this is because in CS6 the layers are now called "Rectangle 1" "Elipse 1" etc .  How can I get this to revert back to the "Shape 1, 2, 3, 4 etc etc".
View 6 Replies View RelatedI use a series of actions that were created in CS6 and are not that complicated. They resize and align an object to coordinates with the center reference point and proportions constrained. I assumed that they would translate to other coworker’s machines with cs5 and cs5.5, but they do not work. The actions appear to load properly, but do not run like they should.
Â
When I hit the assigned hotkey, the selected object moves, but not to the correct location and does not change size as it is supposed to. Also, I can try to manually play individual parts of the action (moving to a reference point or resizing to a certain width) and nothing happens. Not even a wiggle. When I do try to do them one at a time, the small downward triangle button that reveals details of the action disappears and when I click again I get an error message that says 'the object "transform panel" is not available.' I assume this means that action is looking for a location that has changed name or something, but I don't know how they work well enough to spot any differences when viewing the action with a text editor.

All of the computers I tried had win7. Mine is CS6 (v 16.0.2 64-bit), 2 others had CS5 and 5.5.
I have two actions that I use quite often. I assigned keyboard shortcuts to them in the actions dropdown menu. However whenever I press the shortcut keys, nothing ever happens. I have tried changing the modifier key combinations...

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy computer crashed and I removed all apps and reinstalled so now none of my actions appear. However I do have a backup file of all of them and want to reinstall but before when I was using cs6 ( Im assuming same thing as CC as it was all on the subscription plan ) I would click actions then the right arrows and it would bring me a big screen of all the actions ( even the ones that were just preloaded in ps ) and it was a big box with all the actions and some options to record etc...Now that box isn't there and it's just a single column drop down menu.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI like to put my actions somewhere special on my hardrive, not in apps folder.
Now, in past, when I saved actions CS2 would "remember" where this folder was, making real easy to save.
Lately, it keep defaulting to save as in the app folder-- even though I did navigate to my special area on last save as.
On my early 2008 Macbook Pro I keep recieving an error message for not having enough RAM from PS CC. PS CS6 works fine and has always, however with CC I keep recieving this error message at times even before I open a single image. Once its starts I cannot even File>close PS
Â
I have done the preferences erase, and tried to see how to switch from 32/64 Bit (Which I could not figure out how to do as it is not in my "Get Info" tab) to no success.
My photoshop's installer is not mounting. I can hear the disc running in the macbook, but nothing happens. I'm using lion, and its my first time so i don't know if its the same as on snow leapord.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am considering a MBP for all my photoshop work. Currently using Photoshop CS6
Â
From 2007-2010 I had my old MBP (late 2006 model). Then in 2011 I was using the 2011 iMac, 2.5ghz, 4gb ram. I sold the iMac as I felt more comfortble with the laptop in terms of working anywhere and anytime. Also for some reason I just strangly enough found the iMac a bit sluggish compared to the smooth performance I had with my old MBP. I mean the iMac is fast, way faster than my old MBP, However I do think that it may have been due to the wireless Bluetooth mouse that I was using.
Â
I run psd files that have a large number of layers and can reach a size of 3-4gb per file while processing and when saved and closed upto 2gb. I rarely use filters, but when i do, its mainly the blur filters and then sometimes the others.
Â
15"
I am considering the 15" MBP base model but bump up the RAM to 8gb... I wish it were more than 8 though... and getting a SSD drive of 128gb... too expensive other wise and this is enough for my work files as I have 2 additional backups on external HDs.and VRam of 512gb with an anti glare display.
Â
13"
I like the size & portability of the 13", but the lack of a dedicated VRAM is putting me off. I could always get an external display later if the need be, however what about VRAM... its shared right? How will that affect CS6 performance?
Â
I would like to really bump up the RAM but the only option i have is 8gb. Also I hope to use this system for another 3-4 years alteast if it does not have any other issues.
Currently, I have a 15" Windows laptop that I've been using CS6 on, and I love it. However, for other, unrelated reasons, I am committed to buying a Mac, and I would like to switch to using it completely.
Â
I'm NOT a gamer, and most of my usage is made up of basic browsing and Word documents (I have A LOT of files to store). I've bought CS6 for Mac, but I need to know what Mac to get. I DON'T want Retina Display (no matter how good it is). My choice is between:
Â
13" MacBook Pro without Retina Display
2.9GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM — 2x4GB
750GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
Â
OR
Â
15" MacBook Pro without Retina Display
2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
4GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
Â
...but I don't understand the physical difference between Intel Core or RAM or processing at all. I really like the sleekness and easy-carrying that the 13" provides and it fufills all my other needs, but I don't know how Photoshop will run on it. I use Photoshop mostly for GIFs; school; and home projects; so I don't think my screen has to be too big. Will it work okay, or do I NEED at 15" Mac?
i have installed the photoshop cs6 extended version on my macbook pro 2.26ghz Intel core 2 Duo, 4GB ram, but doesn't appear the 3D commands on it.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8, with 8.0 GB RAM. I'm using Photoshop CS5 and the PerfectResize 7.5 plug-in to create some very large files (1.5-2.0 GB). I enlarged one file, and then checked my RAM availability; of the 8.0 GB RAM, about half was inactive and there was only a sliver of free RAM left. When I went to enlarge a second file, Photoshop was unable to do so because there was insufficient free RAM. When I closed Photoshop, my free RAM increased to 4.0 GB while the inactive RAM dropped to 1.4 GB.
Â
As I understand it, on the Mac, "inactive" RAM is really free RAM, and (as I said) I have 8.0 GB RAM to begin with, so I don't know why I'm getting this error. I have Photoshop's performance preference set to let Photoshop use up to 70% of the RAM, but even at other settings, I couldn't complete the operation.
I had the old version of Photoshop cs2. I want to put it on my new mac book pro. I was given the link

I'm using Photoshop CS4 on a MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). It's worked for quite a long time with no issues and now (seemingly out of the blue) it won't launch. Here is part of the report I get when it doesn't launch:

View 8 Replies View RelatedI keep trying to install the trial version of Photoshop CS6 on my macbook pro (version 10.6.8) and I was able to download it fine from the download assistant. Once I tried installing it, however I kept coming up with the same error. First it says that the images couldn't be opened because of an invalid checksum, then if I opt to skip that step it comes up with a window letting me install it which I do but once it hits 44% it jumps to 99% and says installation failed due to an inauthentic certificate, saying "Adobe Genuine Software Verification Failure."
