I have scanned a transparency in professional mode with my Epson 2450 which comes in as a photoshop file. I cannot unlock the background layer in order to save as a jpg or whatever, or to add layer changes. Does anyone know what I should be doing in order to make this happen?
I'm using Photoshop CS3 on an old Windows XP computer, which needs to be replaced soon.  Would like to run CS3 on a new Dell with Windows 7 Professional operating system. Dell says that Windows 7 prof. is "Windows XP Software compatible" if I download and use software called Windows XP Mode.
I am currently a graphic designer and use Adobe programs, but I am extremely interested in professional photo retouching. How/what/where do I need to do/learn/go to make this happen? I've seem some software that claims to do this, but it all looks a little shady to me. All help will be deeply appreciated...and if there is another forum that I can post to also, I'm all ears!
Has anyone found a supplier of professional backgrounds that can be used in conjunction with wedding photography images.?
I'm looking for pale soft images with no real pattern that can be used as a layer above a photograph to give that dreamy but slightly coloured look.
I believe there are suppliers that produce these backgrounds but can't find what I want by searching. See the background applied to the left page in pdf attached.
I've created my signature (for Lotus use) in Photoshop, in order to get the same pantone as my company's logo. My pblm is now I don't know how could I import my logo in CS2?
Is photoshop cs5 compatible with flash professional cs6? I don't want to purchase the new flash professional cs6 if it will not work with photoshop cs5.
how I should prepare several photos for a professional printing lab. Photoshop is not entirely new to me, but there are still several concepts I am still mastering and or trying to fully comprehend.I am trying to create some poster-sized images of some co-workers to hang up around the workplace here. They will replace some older out-dated photos that we already have on the walls. The older, framed and mounted photos are right at 24"(W) x 36"(L). That size includes a thick black border around the actual photo. The actual photo measures approximately 15"(W) x 23"(L), for the portrait orientation.  What I am looking to do is get some new photos printed to the same specifications as 24" x 36". My question is, should I change the image size of the photos I took within Photoshop to match those specifications, or allow the lab to use their "Blow-Up" software?  I've used Lightroom 4 to crop, and make minor edits to my photos. how I should continue with my photos in Photoshop, in order to create the same black border around the photos as well as add a "Motivational Poster-Look" to a couple... All while not losing resolution when planning to print to such a large size.
My Sister wants to scan some ink drawings into an editor, color them and put some text on them. Then she wants to send the results to a professional printing company to print up cards.
Should we be doing this in Illustrator instead of Photoshop and in vector graphics? What file format should we use? What scanner?
I'm just starting out a professional fashion photographer and want to learn how the pro's retouch their work. I know the basics but where do I go from here?
I have created several documents for printing. When I test printed them on a laserjet it came out perfect with all the fades fading to white and all the shadows having no defined edges but simply fading. When I recieved the proof from the Printing house it was horrid. all the fades and shadows had very defined edges and were no longer smooth (like when I test printed it myself).Â
I have been working with a client who has recently requested an un-flattened version of the work I have been doing for them. They have been impressed, and at times inquisitive with “How’d you do that?”.
I am contemplating responding in a diplomatic way that I must decline. A version with all layers available will show many of my methods (and tricks) I have developed over the years, and I should not have to divulge them to a client.
What type of text would look Professional for a business banner? Like I'm tring to start a business and i want to create the site for it.. but I haven't decided on how to make my banner or logo
I have a problem when viewing my RAW pictures taken from my Canon EOS 20D looking different when comparing them to PhotoShop CS2 and the Canon Digital Photo Professional 1.6.1.0 software that came with the camera. The colors in the Canon software are definitely better than the Photoshop view. I even downloaded the latest edition of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) version 3.4 from the Adobe website but I can only select ACR 2.4 when viewing them in Photoshop for some reason. I know I can manually set the settings in ACR but am not having much luck getting the colors to match up with the Canon software. Too much red in the Photoshop ACR view. I want to do most of my editing in Photoshop but it is useless if the colors do no match what I print. PhotoShop help states the options to choose from under camera profile in ACR also depends on whether a camera raw has a profile embedded.
How does one get a RAW file in Photoshop CS2 to match the colors in Canon's Photo Professional 1.6.1.0 automatically and how does one get the ACR 3.4 option to appear in the camera profile setting in ACR?
I'm trying to use Imagenomic Noiseware filter with a trial of PS CS5... I have the license key but it hasn't asked for it..my other plug ins are working fine.
I have been receiving advertisements for Pixio Photo Maximizer Professional 3 which claim that photographs can be enlarged without loss of detail and that it is easy to remove people/objects from photographs. Â Are these functions available in CS5 and, if so, how do I access them?
I am aware of the 64 bit versus 32 bit issue. When I ugraded to Windows 7, 64 bit and CS 5.5, I did so because both Adobe and Microsoft indicated I would have to. In CS 5.5, the issue of the 32 bit versus 64 bit driver was not serious because--although Windows 64 bit had no trouble scanning and Photoshop 64bit did, I installed the Photoshop CS 5.5, 32 bit version, and it worked.  Today, CS5.5 disappeared, "Photoshop has ecnountered an error with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhnacements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancement can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences." Not really [it's not a driver problem], Photoshop won't stay on, it simply closes.Â
I am scanning with Adobe photoshop 7.0 using Vista WIA driver from Microsoft and Scanner is from Toshiba. I am using the Automatic document feeder with 3 pages but i am getting only one page(First page) in the photoshop Window.
With Twain driver it is working fine i am able to get all the three pages. is the Adobe photoshop is not supporting the ADF scanning with WIA?
I want to scan from within CS4 x64, like we used to in the old days! I appreciate that TWAIN is making way for WIA, however, I can't find a way to scan from within photoshop and NOT have to immediately save the scanned image. In want to just scan and open, and then make the decision to save (or not) later on.
In the Printer Settings drop down menu both Color Mode and Print Mode are grayed-out. This just happened I cannot think of anything I've done differently.
I'm using OS 10.6.8 and the latest Epson drivers for the 3880. I have re-installed both PS and the Epson drivers. If I print from Acrobat Reader everything seems to work fine, this only is happening in Photoshop CS5.
I have cs6, I want to scan from the program, My all in one Lexmark is not recognized? I tried to get a plug in from Lexmark, they said they don't support cs6?
I've been using this product for a few years and only a few months ago I re-installed it on Windows 7 and a few days ago I closed it and it stopped working right when it says "Scanning for Plug-Ins". I haven't changed anything with the product. While I had it installed on the D-drive (The C and D got mixed up) it hadn't had a problem until a few days after continually hearing that the C: drive was full (leading to mass deletions of unused programs and files). Just today I had fixed the problem of the drives and the program had the same problem. I've tried the multiprocessor plug-in, uninstalling and reinstalling it, There are only a few oddities I can say happened during the reinstallation, it was unable to activate.  Operating System: Windows 7 Program: Photoshop CS version 8.0  Error Message: Description: A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.  Problem signature:  Problem Event Name:   AppHangB1  Application Name:   Photoshop.exe  Application Version:   8.0.0.0  Application Timestamp:   3f8fad4d  Hang Signature:   472f [code]...
Is it possible to do a multipage scan in Photoshop 7 and to have all the scanned pages saved as one PDF file. At the moment I can only find a way that gives me the same number of files as I have scanned in.
The reason I am having to do this is because I am having a problem with the scanning facility in Acrobat 8.
I have an Epson Perfection 4180 scanner which has worked for years. I moved, plug everything back in, the scanner works one time, and from then on, I get this error: "Could not complete the Import command because of an error with acquisition module interface."
I've searched around, and seen others with this problem, but, no real solution. From what I've read, it's a Photoshop issue. I've downloaded the TWAIN drivers and re-installed the scanner, and deleted Photoshop's preferences file. The scanner does work through the Windows Scanner Wizard. I've turned off the Windows Image Acquisition thing in the control panel, and then turned it back on.
I have an Epson R200 printer and an Epson Perfection 1260 Scanner. Using Photoshop CS, how do I get a closest colour match between scanning an image, passing it through photoshop and printing it out on photo quality inkjet paper as close to the original as possible.
I'm scanning at 1400 dpi, what else do I need to do? I don't know anything about colour management or anything like that...
I use the default scanning software that cames with my epson scanner...I works fine no problems, I do all of my corrections in PS. But I was wondering if anybody uses any third party software that is particularly good?
