View 9 RepliesI've been experiencing problems with the Gradient editor since I got PS and the problem is that whenever I create a gradient through the gradient editor and then load it, it does load it and instead just duplicates the ones that already exist.

I save all gradients at:

C:UsersRHAppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6PresetsGradients
Â
However it does (mostly) work when I import pre-made (from web) Gradients.

I don't know why this happens but it also did the same thing when I had CS5.5!
I am currently using Windows 7 and have to use Windows XP mode to use my Photoshop CS. My Windows XP mode became corrupt so I uninstalled it and re-installed. When I re-installed Photoshop CS I was unable to activate it online or by the automated phone sytem. I went and did a live chat with Adobe support..I know my Photoshop CS is old, but I still need it. I am the only user it ever had. It is registered under my name.Â

What happened, and how do I correct it?
I recently performed a "Windows Restore" operation on my Compaq. Now whenever I launch Photoshop CS2, I get a message saying this (to effect):"The required user name and licence key have been lost, and this program must close."Right after displaying that message in a dialog box, Photoshop closes--giving me no opportunity to insert my license key. How do I get my license key inserted and Photoshop working normally again?

The activation process ask for the serial number and when I'm giving it, the system says that it is too short. If I'm trying to make a phone call to Adobe, the support is only in English and I cannot understand the spoken English of the support.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have PS CS4 Extended and Vista. I am having problems with Gradient Editor. When I create a gradient and use the opacity stops they make the gradient bar transparent in the required parts, but it has no effect whatsoever on the image, nor on the bar in the adjustments panel. I feel there is some obvious solution, but it escapes me. Also, when I click on a preset like "foreground to tranparency", my image goes completely black..again, no transparency.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've upgraded from Photoshop CS to CS3 (been a user since ver 4) ... but I noticed that the Gradient Editor has disappeared. Well, I can open it up, but there's nowhere to edit the colour stops! It was DEFINITELY there and usable in version CS, but when I opened the same file in CS (which is still installed on the pc), the Gradient Editor has also now lost the colour stop editor! I've tried looking for it in the palettes, looked for it in the Windows and View dropdown menus, double-clicked the Gradient button in the Toolbox, clicked on everything from the Gradient Toolbar, clicked on the top righthand arrow, clicked on the gradient swatches, but a big fat zip naadaa! Anyone ever experienced anything like this before? I'm wondering if I'd be better off just uninstalling and reinstalling everything and making sure I then also un-install the older version to make sure there aren't any conflicts, but I actually PREFER to keep CS available, just in case there are any problems in CS3 - such as this one. Unless, of course,
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have PS CS4, and vista home premium. I am playing around with the Gradient Map, and everything is fine except for one thing. I know I must be doing something wrong but I can't put my finger on it. In the Editor, when I create a gradient with some transparency, the transparent bit never transfers itself to my image.
I have tried using the opacity stops to set opacity to zero, and the gradient bar is almost totally transparent, yet this has no effect whatsoever on either the image or the bar in the adjustments panel. There is no tick box for "transparency" such as there is in the gradient tool option bar so what am I doing wrong??
I recently saw a presentation that spoke of tinting shadows on an image by converting to black and white, then creating a gradient map layer. From there you went into the Gradient Editor and place the cursor directly beneath the gray scale, and starting from the black end, move it toward the white end until the arrow cursor changes to a finger pointer. You then use the value in Location...
Â
Unfortunately, every time I do this my cursor is ALWAYS a pointing finger. I can put in color stops, but I don't believe that was what the technique used... I've tried using alt, ctrl, and/or shift in all the combinations I can think of, but no matter what I do, I always get the pointing finger instead of the arrow cursor.
Â
what I need to do differently to get the Gradient Editor to show an arrow cursor until I reach whatever point I should be at when it changes to a pointing finger? Does it represent the darkest black in the image, or what?
I'm using Gimp 2.8.4, Win8.
I also noticed the "Left Endpoint's Color" is not available.
I'm fairly familiar with Gimp in general, but never needed to get this deep editing gradients. Of course, if those sliders would move I could have figured out the rest...

I can choose any tool either by menu or by shortcut, but only the hand icon remains visible and active. Reopen Photoshop and rebooting mac doesn't work, only solution I have found is: Repair Disk Permissions.Â

All other aspects of this product opens and works fine . Unfortunately I cannot use the editor or open photos previously modified in the editor. I can open the editor if I log in in safe mode but no other way. I have done 2-3 clean installs as described in previous articles, there are no errors just won't open.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am unable to print from PSE11 editor. i receive an error message stating 'photoshop cannnot print this document'. I can print standard photos from the organizer but any edits I make in editor are unable to be printed. I have checked the printer, it works fine for every other application. I have uninstalled and re-installed PSE11 but still no luck. The problem appears to have started since I installed a new printer (Epson XP). Photoshop is recognising the new printer from the print screen.

I have also tried saving my works in other formats (e.g. PDF) and saved to my desktop. I can print these but the quality is quite poor.
Received the message " unable to connect to editor application". What do I do ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was always able to do this before. (should be simple...) I made a gradient and just want to save / add it to a Swatch Panel that I've already defined and saved. I used to be able to drag (I think) the gradient into the desired Swatch Panel and then 'save the swatch again' It won't let me do this today even though I just did it last night!Â

I can't tell illustrator to select same color, the way it does with fills and strokes? I want to change the color and I have to click on every single point again? Ridiculous.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI saw one video in which a Photoshop geek quickly launces his raw editor by clicking on a small, illegible icon in the lower right-hand of his Layer Icon in his Layers Dialogue but of course he doesn't explain how that works, and there is no such corresponding little sub-icon in MY Layers icon, and the word Raw doesn't even seem to show up anywhere in any menu. I know this has to be possible. I can open a raw file (.nef, in this case) the obvious way, but after switching it over to Photoshop I can't switch it back to the raw editor (?)
