Photoshop CC 2014 reset settings itself to defaults!

Hello! I use Photoshop CC 2014 which is quite stable. But yesterday, for no apparent reason it reset ALL settings to defaults! All my brushes, actions, patters etc are disappeared! I have not updated because I do not have administrator rights so I don't understand how it happened. And Photoshop is not the only application from Adobe that dropped, as well Premiere, After Effects, Audition (also dropped remapped keyboard shortcuts, disappeared saved workspaces and may be something else I have not yet found). Now everything is like I just installed, and it my first start!!
Why did this happen?
how to restore all settings?
how to avoid it in the future?
Please help me!

You have a permissions issue on your user folder or some system restore function put the original files back in place.

  • WRT54GL randomly resets settings back to default

    I've had my WRT54GL for a couple of months now, and it keeps wiping my saved settings and reverting back to the default. It works fine with all devices for a week or so after the initial set-up, then will only work on the system that is wired.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    1. The WRT is bad. Replace the router. Configuration is cleared if the contents of the NVRAM gets corrupted. That happens with age or a bad chip. Either way, it needs to be replaced.
    2. Try to make a small change to the configuration every week (or whatever time frame works). With each change the NVRAM is written again and it should refresh all cells. This may prevent the loss of configuration unless it's a bad chip...

  • Photoshop CC 2014 not taking over settings from Photoshp CC?

    I noticed Photoshop CC 2014 being installed beside Photoshop CC, which I have configured to my liking. Mainly Keyboard shortcuts, units and rulers, that sort of thing.
    Now if I open the new Photoshop CC 2014, these settings seem all reset to default again. I can Edit -> [email protected] -> Download settings, but it doesn't change anything. The settings are still default. The only thing that seems to be working is my workspace that has been added.
    How can I fully migrate all settings from Photoshop CC to the new Photoshop CC 2014? I was expecting this to happen automatically, but apparently not.
    Same goes for Illustrator by the way.

    I was getting the same thing.
    LR would open .tifs in PS but not raw files..
    Also got the same result if opening as smart object and then trying to save back to LR.
    It was working fine until i un installed the older version of PS CC. Then it stopped working.
    What worked for me was to un install PS (2014) and re install it.

  • Images look less saturated in Photoshop CC 2014

    I import my RAW images into Lightroom 5 and make some basic adjustments.  Then I edit the image in Photoshop with the Lightroom adjustments.  I clean up the images and crop to the size I like and then I use the Perfect Effects 9 plugin to do some more edits.  I finish my edits in Perfect Effects 9 and save them which brings me back into Photoshop CC as a new layer.  In Photoshop the image looks less saturated than it did in Perfect Effects 9.  I then save the Photoshop file and exit.  When I look at the PSD file in Lightroom 5 browse window, it looks the same as it does in Perfect Effects 9.  Why does it look less saturated in Photoshop CC 2014?
    Here are my colour settings:
    Lightroom 5:
    External Editing:
         Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014:
         File Format = TIFF
         Color Space = AdobeRGB(1998)
         Bit Depth = 16
         Resolution = 240
         Compression = zip
    Additional External Editor:
        Preset = Perfect Effects 9 Suite
        File Format = PSD
        Color Space = AdobeRGB(1998)
        Bit Depth = 16
        Resolution = 300
    Perfect Effects 9:
    General:
         Working Color Space = sRGB IEC61966-2.1    
    Files:
         Copy Options:
         File Format = PSD
         Color Space = sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    Plug-ins:
         Lightroom:
         File Type = PSD
         Color Space = Adobe RGB 1998
    Photoshop CC 2014:
        Color Settings:  Custom
        Working Spaces:
        RGB = sRGB IEC61966-2.1
        CMYK = U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
        Gray = Dot Gain 20%
        Spot = Dot Gain 20%
    What color settings do I need to use so that the images have the same saturation look in all three programs? How do you know which image in which program is showing as the correct saturation?

    No, just keep it at sRGB. As long as you have the "preserve" policy, the working space actually isn't all that important. The embedded document profile will always override it (as it should).
    I had to read this a couple of times to follow the trail properly. Leaving Perfect Effects (which I don't know at all) out of it - does the very same file iteration, with the same edits, look different between Photoshop and Lightroom? Did I get that right?
    In that case you have a bad monitor profile. This can sometimes throw off one application but not the other. Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator go into Windows color management and set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as default display profile. When done relaunch all applications so that they can pick up the new profile at startup.

  • How do I change the "Open In" default from "Photoshop CS6" to "Photoshop CC 2014" in Bridge CC? I'm using a Mac

    I have Photoshop CC 2014 and Bridge CC when I double click or Open in Bridge CC Photoshop CS6 opens instead of Photoshop CC 2014. How can I change this dynamic link to open Photoshop CC 2014? Help!

    Thanks Gener7, but that did not work.
    I also tried opening Bridge’s Preferences> File Type Associations and clicking the Reset to Default Applications button.  Then see Photoshop CC 2014 listed next to all basic image formats.  but did not work
    Also tried this: but did not work
    --Open Bridge. 
    --Use the Keywords panel menu command Export to save your keywords (not in the Bridge or Photoshop folders or their support folders).
    --Quit Bridge.
    --Hold down the Command-Option-Shift keys.
    --Launch Bridge.
    --When the small dialog box appears, release the three modifier keys and elect to replace the Preferences and purge the cache.

  • Default open jpg to photoshop cc 2014 in win 8.1

    Why dont beta testers find things like this. in windows 8.1, you can not change the default program for jpg, jpeg or gif to photoshop cc 2014 in default settings it always defaults to photoshop cc 64bit instead. Tif and Tiff however can be switched to default open to  Photoshop cc 2014 without incident. Even though I direct the jpg and gif families to photoshop cc 2014, it is always set to photoshop cc 64bit.

    That should work, but rather than using the control panel open a Windows Explorer window and right-click on a file with the extension you want to open in Photoshop. Then select the  and select the Open With option and if Photoshop CC 2014 is available in the list click it. If it's not there, select Choose Default Program and in the new window that appears choose More Options at the bottom of the window and then Look For Another App On This Computer from the bottom of the window again. Then you can navigate directly to the Photoshop CC 2014 install folder and manually select the Photoshop.exe file from there. That should then set Photoshop CC 2014 as the default program.
    If this still doesn't work, then you'll have to see about getting help from Microsoft's forums as it's really an issue with Windows and not Photoshop.

  • Why is Photoshop CC 2014 nearly crash with Wacom and fix itself when I move my regular mouse?

    I have Photoshop CC 2014 (completely updated through Creative Cloud). I am currently using a Wacom Intuos 3 9"X12" with the Intuos drivers all updated. Everything is updated. I am working on Windows 8, on a computer with 8 GB's of RAM. I have never had this problem before using Photoshop until just recently. Before I updated Photoshop CC 2014, I was having trouble putting in text into my files. I would go to edit or add text, and it would say that the text function was unavailable. I was pretty ticked, since I'm in school full time for animation and NEED Photoshop to work as fast as possible and this was making things harder. So, I updated. The text thing got fixed, but for some reason, whenever I use my wacom tablet to draw, it will work for a little bit (like two minutes) before it pretty much freezes my computer. It gets laggy and doesn't show anything on screen. I have waited almost two minutes before. But, whenever I move my REGULAR mouse (trackpad or USB mouse) it catches up with what just happened (including going from layer to layer if I clicked on those to get things moving). It makes it REALLY hard to work with this, and it's increased my worktime by at LEAST 45%, since I have to constantly fix this with a move of my regular mouse. During that time, I cannot click on anything with my wacom pen or use the hotkeys on the keyboard (the default ones).
    It, so far, doesn't seem that Photoshop CC has it, but I cannot update to that version. I always get to 75% or something REALLY fast, and then it says there was an error. I just don't know what's going ON with my programs. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall or something? My computer is set to optimize weekly, and I've done multiple scans to make sure I don't have a virus or something. Everything in clean, and I'm not overloaded on stuff, either. I usually only have two or three programs total open, Photoshop CC 2014 included. It ends up either being Photoshop and Firefox or Photoshop, Firefox, and iTunes to listen to music. I use a second monitor, as well, to make my flow go faster.
    Help ASAP would be VERY much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  • Photoshop CC 2014 - color panel resizing by itself?

    Hello,
    I am wondering if anyone else has reported (or even experienced) the new color panel in Photoshop CC 2014 resizing itself when maximizing and then restoring the Photoshop CC 20114 application frame?
    Here are some images to illustrate the issue I am experiencing:
    This is on initial launch of PS CC 2014 after install and then reboot.
    This is the initial maximize of PS CC 2014 application frame (using green button).
    This is the initial restore command (using green button).
    This is the second maximize (using green button).
    This is the second restore command (using green button).
    This is the third maximize (using green button).
    ... and the fourth maximize (using green button).
    As you can probably see through the progressive process that the color panel is stretching vertically with each maximize / restore combination. It seems to stop stretching after the fourth series.
    Machine specs:
    MacBook Pro 17" (late 2011)
    2.5 Ghz. i7 Intel Processor
    AMD Radeon HD 6770M - 1 GB VRAM
    16 GB RAM - OWC Brand
    480 GB SSD - OWC Brand
    OS X 10.9.3 - Clean Install (all updates installed)
    PRAM and SMC refreshed
    Permissions repaired
    Disk verified
    Clean Install of:
    Adobe Creative Cloud app
    Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 app
    Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 app
    No plug-ins or other third-party add-ons.
    I thought I would mention it in case this hasn't been reported yet (or perhaps there is something bizarre going on with my machine).
    Thanks for any insight or acknowledgement.

    Just giving this a bump and a quick note.
    I just performed a clean install of OS X 10.9.3 again on machine spec'd above and then installed Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 perpetual license versions. While the new color panel seen in PS CC 2014 is not part of CS6, I wanted to test to see if the color panel was resizing itself as I saw with PS CC 2014. It is not.
    I am running Adobe CC 2014 versions at work on a Dell workstation under Windows 7 Professional. I will test on that system to see if the same resizing of color panel by itself occurs and post back sometime tomorrow.
    Note - if an engineer, staff member or moderator could mention whether this has been logged as a potential issue that would be great. I will of course log a report with a link to this post this morning.
    Thanks for any response.

  • Photoshop CC 2014.2.1 can't sync settings with Creative Cloud

    Good day,
    Photoshop CC 2014.2.1 can't sync settings with Creative Cloud for some reason. I'm signed in, no firewalls, the router is fine. Other apps, Premiere Pro for example, sync without issues.
    Photoshop keeps saying "Connecting to Creative Cloud..." with uploads starting, but nothing is happening. I've left it in this state for an hour just in case. Is there a workaround or a fix?

    For what it's worth I have access to a second computer with the correct sync settings (which I synced to the Cloud, so the Cloud should now have my desired sync settings), but PS on my first computer still refuses to show anyway to apply these settings.
    I'm downloading the 2014 release now but it shouldn't really be necessary. This is so frustrating, especially when the Adobe PS sync help page only applies to the 2014 release (I can't find any sync help for the previous versions anymore).

  • Photoshop CC 2014 has lost all my custom settings, all my batch actions, all my custom desktops. Can't I import them from previous PSCC, or do I have to create everything over again?

    Photoshop CC2014 has just been installed earlier today, and it won't access all of my custom settings from the previous PSCC. I constantly use Batch Actions, always work in custom workspaces, and they're all gone. I can't find an option to retrieve them from the previous version, which seems ridiculous. It will take at least a full day's work to recreate this stuff that's sitting right there in the previous version. Isn't there someway to "update" the new version with my custom batches and workspaces at least?

    how do you get to user library preferences.  can't find it in the c drive
    The terms you used, "user library" and "c drive" are from Mac and PC architectures respectively.  Read the information at the link I posted more carefully - there are different sections for Mac and PC.
    Keep in mind the AppData folder is usually hidden by Microsoft,
    Also know that Adobe hasn't updated that page to include specific locations for CC 2014, so you have to look around just a bit when you get to the deepest folder.
    As an example, here's where my preferences are on Windows 8.1:

  • Unable to change/reset colors with open document in Photoshop CC 2014

    I have the 2014.2.2 release of Photoshop CC 2014 and am suddenly unable to change or reset colors with an open document. I get a "Could not complete your request because of a program error" message. After closing the document (or before opening one) I can change colors okay. But not with a document open.

    OK, then resetting Photoshop's preferences is the next thing to try. But first, save a copy of the existing preferences - we may need them to figure out what is going wrong.

  • CMYK settings in Photoshop cc (2014) for Print in South Africa

    I am new to photoshop and print and need to know what CMYK settings are best for printing purposes in south Africa. I am using Photoshop cc (2014) Latest update. On Mac.  Project is aimed at a poster (420mm x 594mm) - roughly street pole size.  Thanks!!

    You should take advice from your print provider. They should know which CMYK settings are right for their printer/press, ink and paper, according to the task. They may recommend RGB with a good working space. In any case, none of it is any use to you unless you have a calibrated monitor.

  • Setting Photoshop CC 2014 as my "Default Program" to open JPEG files in Windows 7

    I just installed Photoshop CC 2014 on my Windows 7 computer. I had set Photoshop as my "Default Program" to open up JPEG files. Now whenever I double-click a JPEG file, Photoshop CC will launch instead of Photoshop CC 2014. I have noticed that the executable files for all versions of Photoshop are "Photoshop.exe" (no wonder Windows gets confused). If I changed the name of the executable file for Photoshop CC 2014 to something like "Photoshop2014.exe" then Windows will let me choose the program as my "Default Program" to open up a JPEG, however this makes it impossible for me to open up files in Lightroom. Lightroom will default back to Photoshop CC.
    I have changed the name of the executable file for Photoshop CC 2014 back to "Photoshop.exe" and renamed all the executable files for my legacy versions of Photoshop. This still does not work.
    Do I need to make some types of change in the registry?

    This is from the post at this site: Re: Adobe CS6 file associations are all messed up
    Just change the directory to the correct EXE for cc 2014 and you should be good.
    Correct Answerby Curt Y on Jun 5, 2012 7:08 PM
    Here is a registy fix for Win7 machines to the file association problem.
    This from TinusHDCA user:
    I installed Photoshop CS6, then found CS5 was still there. I thought, hey, I don't need CS5 anymore, so I uninstalled CS5. then I found out that Photoshop was no longer available in 'Open with' when right-clicking an image...
    So I went into the Registry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and changed the (Default) from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" (so changed CS5 to CS6) - and now I see 'Adobe Photoshop CS6' in my 'Open with' list when right-clicking an image...

  • Migration from Photoshop CC to Photoshop CC 2014 looses all settings?

    Hi!
    I installed Photoshop CC 2014, started it and agreed to migrate the Photoshop CC setting to Photoshop CC 2014.
    But all my workbench settings are gone. And some of my performance settings also.
    Please fix that. In my case, it's already too late, but perhaps it will help others.
    Thanks.
    Regards

    The install of 2014 doesn't move or copy anything from a previous version, with the exception of settings. You can go into your Photoshop CC installation folder, navigate to your plugins folder and then just copy all the plugins you've installed from that folder and into the Photoshop CC 2014 plugins folder. The plugins should then be available in 2014 the next time you launch Photoshop.
    The only thing that may prevent this from working is if you're using the 32bit version of Photoshop CC. Photoshop CC 2014 is 64bit only so 32bit plugins don't work. If this is the case for you, check out the manufacturer of the plugins and see if they have 64bit versions available.
