I can't seem to get my shift key to work.
I just want to make controlled likes kinda like connect the dots? I am tracing an edge.
I used to be able to hold my shift key and it would make a straight line from click to click, but now all of a sudden it doesn't do that.
Do I have some control or toggle switch on somewhere that I don't know about?
I got a new desktop not too long ago and now I have a problem.How do I port my Photoshop CS4 from my old pc to my new one? If I just move the existing file as is, I get an error 6 which says my liscence has expired.

They look just the way it shows on my camera LCD display, but when i open both file on photoshop CS5 or Bridge there is a huge drop in exposure on the RAW file. The jpg is fine. There is a huge difference in exposure between the RAW and jpg? It's the same file.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having a strong color shift in Photoshop going from one monitor to another. It's not a calibration issue because the color shift persists when I drag the window from one to another until I do something with the window, then it will shift (i.e. not exactly when I move the window). I'm essentially experiencing the problem described here, only I'm on Photoshop CS5 and his solution doesn't apply because that option is not available.
Windows 7 64bit
Photoshop CS 5 (12.1 x64)
Note the color change, one part of that image is on one monitor, and the other part on the other. (The left is the correct color fwiw.)
I'm guessing there's just some setting somewhere I can toggle?
when loading an image into cs3 or elements 7 I am getting a large color shift to magenta and the image is getting very dark. I have reset the color settings and reset to default but no improvement in the images. the pictures look good in bridge or any other picture viewer on the computer.
View 3 Replies View Related I have not been able to the nice feature of pressing shift+ number to control the amount of flow while painting for some time now (or to control the amount of opacity with airbrush on). This feature was great when I first started using it back in PS7 but I haven't seen it since the last few packages.
It is a major time saver for any digital painter's workflow and am worndering if their is any way to make this function work again.see the the adobe link if you'd like to see Adobe's description of the function.[URL]...
I have a project where I am converting images from CMYK to Multichannel in order to swap out the Cyan for a PMS color. As soon as I switch to Multichannel, the image reddens up quite some. I know it has to do with the View Gamut in Photoshop, and that it goes away upon the RIP for printing, but it is hard to work with color accurately whit the added Red. Do you know of any way to remove the color shift?
I am on a Mac Power book running OS X 10.7.5 with Adobe CS4.
Windows Vista Home Premium, 2GB RAM, 200GB free HDD space, HP Laptop
Adobe Photoshop CS3 (with/without 10.0.1 patch)
Epson Stylus Pro 4800 via TCP/IP connection
I am still having the following three problems:
1. When holding down the shift key and clicking near the edge of the screen with a paint/clone/repair brush, the screen jumps to another area of the image (light years away it seems) - PS7 and CS2 moved a fraction of an inch in comparison.
2. When printing to the Epson Stylus Pro 4800, no matter how many copies I indicate that I want, I'll inevitably get more...sometimes many more. From my other PC, a dual P3 with 4GB of RAM running Win2KPro and PSCS2, this does not happen (using same file).
3. If I close a file that is showing full-window (not necessarily full-screen), and another image is still waiting to be worked on in the background, the full-window image does not change when the file closes, but the navigator version of the image changes to the next image waiting in the background. I have to resize the window to force a rewrite of the screen with the correct image.
photos that were taken of product for our company website. At first, I converted them all to GIFs with transparent backgrounds, but that was starting to create major lagtime in accessing the site. Now I'm trying to convert the originals to JPGs with a background color that matches the website background, but my background colors aren't consistent, and I can't figure out why.
I started by taking the color I was using on the website and used that to paint the background of the photo. When I loaded that JPG on the site, the color did not match the page's background color. I used the eyedropper on the picture and found out the color was no longer the same color I specified (it wasn't an issue of eyeballing it incorrectly,... I had entered in the exact R, G, and B values).
I did some further testing with the "Save for Web" function and various RGB values to see if there was some pattern to the testing. It doesn't appear that colors are being scewed to a value relative to the original color, nor does it appear that the colors are mapping to certain nearby values.
What is the default setting for base line shift in the Character pallet?
Mine is always default to 51.66pt but I believe this is incorrect. I have looked on other photoshop users computers and they seem to have 0.8pt. How can I reset the default if this is incorrect??.
When I had CS3 I would be able to open a RAW image in Photoshop with the ProPhoto RGB color space. I would then change the color space as needed.
In CS4, I am using the 64-bit version, and there is a color shift when I open a RAW image in Photoshop with ProPhoto color space. The color is desaturated.
There is no color sift when I open the same image using Adobe RGB.
I imagine this is something you get kind of often, but I searched around and couldn't find anything that I understood. I suspect I'm just not sure what to search for...
I have experience with Photoshop in general, but not at all with color profiles.
I take my own photos and have been printing them for a while, after editing them in Photoshop. I have my Proof set to Working CMYK. However, whenever I try to Save For Web these same images, they come out looking similarly to if I had changed the Proof to Monitor RGB.
How can I save my images to JPG without experiencing this color shift? I don't want to change my proof to Monitor RGB and re-level if I can possibly avoid it.
Can someone please let me know why I'm getting a color shift (the entire image lightens noticably) when I export an image or animated gif with "Save for Web & Devices...". It happens on PCs and Macs, and with both CS3 and CS2.
I've been using this feature (flawlessly until a few months ago) long enough to realize that there are several settings to adjust the color table, dithering, web snap, etc., but adjusting these settings don't seem to fix the problem. When I use "Save As..." the color shift doesn't occur, and that's been my workaround, but I'm currently trying to save a few animated gifs, which must be saved with "Save for Web & Devices..." in order to retain the animation.
I am using cs6 to make a time lapse video. When rendering this in H.264 format there is a significant color shift. For example green grass takes on an almost cyan look in the rendered file.
I am running Win7 64. My monitors have been calibrated using a Spyder 3 Elite, and color management works perfectly for me in all other areas (printing, etc.)
I have Photoshop CC on a Mac running Mavericks, 16 gb memory. While working on an image, the space bar stopped calling up the hand tool while depressed. I tried quitting Photoshop, no good. I tried restarting computer, it worked, for a little while, then went away again. This a Photoshop issue, and how do I fix it? Or is it a Mac issue?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a vintage macBook pro running Snow leopard, PS CS3 & DW CS3. I have a lenovo Business computer-Vista and a Dell-XP with PS 7. My monitor died and I bought a Dell U2412 which I calibrated with i1 Display 2, the grey scale was good & neutral on every 3rd gradation but wandered dramatically in between measured targets, the colour was either good for the skin and dull on the primary and secondary colour targets or over saturated on the skin and too red in the blues and mag (but with correct Sat on primary secondary). This monitor a good colour out of the box in reviews (but not on a mac, Dell profile loaded but no drivers for mac), so I tried it on the lenovo with a greyscale I made on the mac, the Phase One Lowres Colour Checker and a couple of profile targets I got from commercial labs close by (all had primary-secondary swatches greyscales and some natural examples). The greyscale was good very neutral (black grey meld together) and the skin colour and primaries were fine, this is viewing them in paint and windows photo gallery. Double checked them with the Dell, inside and out side PS they looked great using the Dell supplied profile and terrible with a custom profile by i1 Display 2!
I up graded to the i1 Display pro, on the mac the greyscale was very good all round, far better, the skin was good as were all targets but the blue (255 blue in PS is normally very deep 74% tone in the info pallet and very intense) is rendered, appears that is as a med cobalt blue with a visual tone of I would say no more that 50% and while a bright blue far from intense. The magenta is the same a soft pure pink. They measure as they should though 255 blue and 255 red and 255 blue for the mag. I installed and profiled the lenovo with exactly the same settings and it looked great all over! So a Mac PC issue? probably not the Dell exhibits the same behavior when using the i1 Display 2 profile and the Dell U2412 profile. I made a double swatch (blue and magenta) in PS to e-mail to myself so I can monitor the problem a little easier using all 3 computers, as I attached it to the e-mail and I see it looks great in mail, very strange. I loaded the image on a webpage and in DW and put it on my site, all browsers display it as PS does soft. IE on the lenovo displays it as it should. On the mac Preview also displays it correctly.
Recap:
The U2412 is capable of displaying the colours.
The custom profile is loaded as the system profile on the mac and the PC.
The mac displays the 2 colours correctly in Mail and Preview.
The mac does not display the colours correctly in PS DW or web browsers.
The profile is being used by PS; The greyscale is perfect, opening the display preferences window and changing profiles shows a difference.
The profiles are loaded but are changed or corrupted in certain applications.
I cannot be the only one to bring a macBook pro, Snow leopard PS and i1 Display Pro together, am I the only one with a problem?
I have been having a problem lately with my images displaying funky when they are uploaded to the web. The images become over saturated. The color space is sRGB so I am not sure what is going on. I never have had this problem till this year. I use lightroom, then export the image and finish editing the image in photoshop. When I export from Lightroom I pick srgb color space.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am working on a very large poster graphic and am coming across some odd issues, at least odd to me. I'm not sure the reasoning behind it, or if there is reasoning behind it? I must be doing something wrong.
I created a ribbon/wave graphic in Photoshop in RGB color mode then converted to CMYK. I then cropped the large (310.875") canvas in to 4 separate images).
I created a new Photoshop file for each canvas to then begin placing different text and graphics on each. The idea was to have the wave behind the images in the forefront of each poster be continuous and flow from one poster to the next. Once done I saved each poster as a tif and then laid them out in inDesign to verify the transition. To my surprise the color for each wave was off or slightly different than the other.
All of a sudden the shift key doesn't keep images the true (height to width) size when enlarging or making image smaller.

when I use the "Print Screen" button on my keyboard and paste into Photoshop there is a color shift.
I wonder if anyone can help me out with this. When I try to transform something I use the shift key while transforming to constrain the proportions but for some reason it has stopped working and I can not figure out why and how to fix it.

I'm goofing around with Photoshop 7 and would like to scan in a board of a board game. The board is too big for my scanner, so I have to scan it in pieces.
When I scan the board, it won't lie flat on the scanner (because the scanner edges are not flush with the glass). Instead, it's a bit tilted as it runs over the raised edge, and the part that is tilted up (away from the glass surface) doesn't get exposed as well, so the board image shifts from light to dark as it goes from the part closest to the scan head, to the part that won't quite sit on the glass.
When I export an image from LR 4.1 for editing in PS CS6, I notice a distinct loss of contrast and possibly saturation. Overall, the image looks duller and flatter. My working space in both apps is ProPhoto RGB. I use a custom profile generated by a hardware calibrator.
The screenshot below is of the same image rendered in both programs.
And here are my PS color settings:
FWIW, the image generated by Lightroom is rendered identically by Preview.
We're creating an image for a client that will eventually be printed 4c process, and we have to use some very specific CMYK values. However, since we need to use certain layer effects, we need to work in RGB. I assumed that since the CMYK values we use are within the RGB gamut, there would be no color shift when copying from a CMYK doc and pasting into an RGB doc, but I'm apprently mistaken.
I'm not very familiar with color management, since we don't do any heavy duty color work in house, so this is likely a very rudimentary question: how do I keep colors from shifting when pasting from a CMYK document into an RGB document (which will eventually be converted back to CMYK for print)?
I've been using a very old version of Photoshop for the last 10 years and I'm used to using the shift key to extend a line or paint stroke. By that I mean, I use the paint tool to make a dot and then hold down the shift key and make another dot elsewhere and that creates a straight line. I just purchased CS6 and that function doesn't seem to be happening. Is this something I need to activate in a preference?
View 10 Replies View RelatedIn previous verions of Photoshop, when I made a curves adjustment layer, selected the midpoint, then did a shift-arrow adjusstment, it was always in increments of 10. Now in CS6, it is 12 on my machine, 13 and 14 on the two other machines in the office I have checked. Why would that be? Can that be changed so it is 10 again?
FYI - this is all in RGB mode if that matters.
In PhotoShop CS 4 & 5.5, with a NTSC D1, 720x 486 document, a Pixel Aspect Ratio of D1.DV NTSC (0.91), and ellipse options set to unconstrained, with Aspect Ratio Correction Turned on, to draw a perfect Circle, you could hold Shift-option-cmd and you'd get a perfect Circle.
In PhotoShop CS6, the circle is stretched to the top and bottom when I do a shift-Drag to draw a circle in a non-square Pixel document with Aspect Ratio Correction turned off.
So, at this point, In a Non-Square Pixel document, There's no way to draw a perfect circle. What's changed between 5.5 and 6?? Is there a Preference somewhere that I've missed?
