Photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point.  i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error."  Please help.

    Photoshop Elements 8.  "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error."  Please help.

    Try this:
    Open your picture file
    Access the clone stamp tool
    Hold down the ALT key on the keyboard and left click on the area from which you wish to clone, then release the ALT key, and click to place the pixels at the destination
    TIPS:
    It is a good idea to open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette, and do the cloning on this layer. Be sure that "sample all layers" at the top is checked. You can change the layer opacity if necessary
    Use the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard to increase & decrease the size of the cursor
    Let us know  how you make out with the error message now.

  • Could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode: Elements 11

    I have a PSD file open and I added a new layer via the copy command.  I have added a Layer Mask to the new layer and I'm trying to use the Brush Tool with black forground to cover part of the new layer.  I'm following an online tutorial step by step, but when I try to use the Brush Tool I get "could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode".  The Image>Mode is set to RGB.  I'm stuck!

    First, show the tools optiond in the bottom of the screen (shortcut F4)
    Now look at which of the three options you can select, brush, impressionist brush or replacement tool. I suspect you have to select the brush.
    Edit:
    The reason of the message is that when you are painting on a mask you are in greyscale mode for the mask. For instance, if you paste a coloured layer into a mask, it will be converted to greyscale.

  • Photoshop wont open get error could not open a scratch file because the disk is not available

    Had to clone my hard drive to another drive on my computer.
    I have been receiving a message "Could not open a scratch file because the disk is not available"  I have tried UN-installing and re-installing...still the same message.
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    What do you have here.
    If that does not help, reset your prefs
    Hold fingers over Shift Option Command (or similar on Windows) then boot Photoshop and as fast as you can depress the 3 keys.

  • Photoshop CS6 error "could not complete ... too many files open. Try closing........." with 3D psd?

    Im working in a .psd file with multiple 3D layers. The file size totals at 356mb.
    When opening the file, I get this error: "could not complete your request because there are too many files open. Try closing some windows and try again." This doesn't any sense to me, as I was not experiencing any chugging when the file was open, and I am on a relatively fast system.
    Win 7 64bit
    Intel i7-2760QM @ 2.4GHz (8 CPU)
    16 gigs ram
    Nvidia GTX 560M (2752mb)

    Having the same issue on the Mac!
    Worked on a file yesterday, fairly big, but nothing that I haven't handled before... Only difference was the 3DS file I imported has over 270 textures.
    I think there is a limit on how many textures can be imported, essentially corrupting the file on save. It would be a lot more helpful to have Photoshop warn us that the 3D model is too complicated before we import it and save our work looking forward to finishing off the next day.
    I tried the same model again today, did nothing other than position it and render it, then saved, same error on opeing: "Could not complete your request because there are too many files open. Try closing some windows and try again."
    If anyone at Adobe would like to have a look ta the file the smaller version that I did today I can upload somewhere or send a YouSendIt.
    Cheers.

  • Photoshop cs6 error "Could not complete command because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro and the Adobe Creative Suite 6, and all of my other adobe programs run smoothy with the exception of photoshop. For about the past year and a half now, I will very inconsistency receive the error message, "Could not complete ___ command because there is not enough memory (RAM)."  Sometimes this problem gets so bad that I am not even able to open my preferences.
    My computer seems as though it should have plenty of space to run photoshop, and I have taken my computer to a number of differed tech supports, but they have only been able to temporarily make the problem less severe for short periods until it acts up again and completely prevents me from using Photoshop. I recently updated to Yosemite and deinstalled/reinstalled photoshop, hoping that would fix things, but I still get the message almost any time I try to complete a command.
    Your help would be very much appreciated, thank you!

    3.5Mhz?  Do they even make processors that slow?
    I'm trying to think back through Photoshop versions, but IIRC it became hungry for RAM with CS5, but it might even have been CS4.  But certainly from CS5 onwards a 32 bit system was going to be severely compromised with its 3.5Gb RAM limit, of which Photoshop could access only a bit over 2Gb.  You might remember the 4Gb switch that let you use a bit more of your 4Gb of installed RAM.  That worked OK with XP but was still flakey, and third party plugins used to fall over all the time through lack of RAM — at least Photoshop has a Scratch drive.
    So nowadays you can forget trying to use Photoshop on 32bit hardware.  You need 64 bit and at least 8Gb RAM.  So like I said, the OP needs to look deeper into the 'apparent' over heating issue, and put that other 4Gb back in.  I can't even conceive of why a person would cripple their system by removing RAM. _Especially_ when it leaves just 4Gb

  • Photoshop CS6 error "Could not complete your request because of a program error."

    I got this error today.  I am on PS CS6 version 13.0.06 x64.  Running on Mac OS X version 10.9. Installed the new Maverick on November 10 and not sure if that has anything to do with this.
    In PS I get the error above when I go to File/Open and look for a photo file to pull.  Before I even get a chance to chose a file the error pops up and does not let me go any further. 
    Also if I am in LR5 and send a photo to PS through Photo/Edit in/Edit in Photoshop CS6 it will open it.  However, when I go to save as JPEG the folders just disappear and brings back the photo and does not allow me save.
    Not sure if they both have something to do with each other.  Curious if anyone has the new Maverick on their Mac and have this issue or just a coincidence and it is something else.  Either way hope someone can assist.
    Thank you,
    Michael

    Not sure if this is the same issue, but there is a bug in Mavericks where when you go to file save the menu dissappears if I remember correctly.  The solution (until fixed) is to change the View from CoverFlow to another like List.

  • Could not use the type tool because the scratch disks are full in Photoshop CS5.1?

    How do of get rid of the scratch disk error in photoshop? I'm using Photoshop CS5.1 extended and this error message apperars each time I try to do anything in Photoshop that message comes up. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can remove this error?

    What operating system are you using?
    Is your hard drive running low on free space?
    How much free space is left on your hard drive?
    Is your scratch disk for photoshop set to the Startup drive or some other drive?

    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
    "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file."
    I've tried finding and checking and fixing permissions but no success.
    This happened from one day to the next. I think it has to do with the sn attached to the disk rather then the motherboard. I have the suite co-installed with Symphony 5.05. I've tried reinstalling.
    What's to b done? The rest of the Creative Suite 6 (AE, AI etc.) works fine.
    Anyone...?

  • Photoshop Elements 6:   Could not use type tool because the file could not be found

    Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 well for a while.
    Tried to use the Type Tool to overlay text and obtained this error:
    Could not use the type tool because the file could not be found
    After research, I reset all tools, tried to repair (failed: insert disc one), and then removed/re-installed.  Still have the same problem.
    Are the system fonts corrupt or is an Adobe .ini file suspect?
    Other reports have suggested using a 3rd-party font manager to inspect/disable fonts.
    First wanted to post this error here for feedback/recommendations
    Any suggestion on how to recover the Type Tool functionality?

    Adobe Photoshop Elements Repair Workaround
    When trying to repair the well-known:  insert disc one, error occurred.  Was able to successfully repair the installation by dragging the entire Adobe Photoshop Elements directory from the original CD-ROM onto a hard drive and executing locally.  Seems it does not like repairing over the CD-ROM but it works correctly if the install source is on disc...

    John,
    Yesterday, I decided to completely remove all Adobe products:  PSE 6, Premiere 4, Reader, ActiveX plugins & legacy/old uninstalled product directories that Adobe has left turd-lets around including old Acrobat 3/6 directories.  Used A/D Software to remove all adobe products and then followed your instructions AND the instructions on Adobe's support web site to manually remove these products.
    It boiled down to manually removing the entire Adobe directory in Progam Files, "saving" the entire Adobe directory structure in each users (3) Document and Settings in the Application Data and Local Settings (as instructed by you and Adobe) and rebooting.
    I also saved the local All Users "configuration" database/cache that contained the Tag and other information to make sure the system was clean
    This included following the manual Regit instructions to remove legacy Adobe registry hives.  I deleted all keys for all Adobe product trees that I could locate (following instructions from Adobe).
    Reboot
    Scheduled a CHCKDSK on all drives and rebooted
    Dragged my complete image library to an archive location and deleted them on the C: drive
    Did a complete system Defrag
    Re-installed Adobe and alas still have the same problem with the Type Tool....
    The only thing I did not do was selectively remove the "fonts" because various instructions seemed to indicate many are "required" by the windows or other applications and I was not really sure how to identify which ones were safe to remove w/o affecting the core system..  I'll have to re-read these instructions next.
    Microsoft has a "Font Validator" tool, but that only checks 1 font at a time and you have to read the "results".  May look for other tools.
    Will be able to check the font structure this weekend since it will take some research before I'm comfortable just removing fonts in trial/error mode.  I'll need to make a backup image of my computer before I start this (just in case).
    Thanks for follow-ups too!

  • Unable to start Photoshop CS6 - could not open a scratch file because the file is locked (Windows)

    When I first installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 I was unable to run Photoshop or Bridge CS6.  Photoshop would give me an error about "could not open a scratch file because the file is locked.  If I ran either of these programs as an administrator they would run without issue, this led me to believe that there was a permission issue somewhere.  After some digging I found out the both Bridge and Photoshop try to create a temp file (similiar to Photoshop Temp2777223910092) on the c:\ drive of the computer.  In my case the user that I was logged in with did not have access to write to the root of the C:\ drive.  Note that you run the program as the administrator and change the scratch disk location as that changes the preference for the administrator user and not the user that you are currently logged in as.
    To get around this issue I first had to give the user that I was logged on with write permissions to the root of the C:\ drive.  Next try and run Photoshop, you will get an error another error about the scratch disk and about and invalid or missing setting file.  To correct this you need to have run Photoshop as an administrator, next you can go to Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings and copy Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs and/or Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs to Users\<your logged in username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings.
    Photoshop and bridge should now start up with no issues.
    I hope that this can help others out there as this caused me a great deal of frustration when upgrading to CS6.

    OK, here comes the explanation of what the scratch disk does and why it's optimal to have it on a physically separate internal drive (not partition!) other than your boot drive
    I probably shouldn't say anything since it could complicate this thread, but the rules of thumb can be different under special circumstances when SSD is involved.
    IF you have a LOT of empty space on your SSD-based system drive, then Photoshop can actually work great with it's scratch setting pointed at the system drive.  This is because a) SSD transfers are much faster than spinning hard drives and b) there's no seek time, so simultaneous transfers to/from scratch and swap files aren't devastating to performance, and you can see a net gain because of the increased I/O throughput over what's possible using a separate spinning drive for scratch.
    But if you don't have a huge amount of free space (hundreds of GB) on the system SSD, it's definitely better to use a separate drive, as station_two has said.
    Also, up to about a year or so ago, you had to try to severely limit write activity to your SSD drive, since you could actually wear them out by repeated high data write activity.  That's pretty much a non-issue now with the advent of things like the SandForce in-drive controller that does wear-leveling inside the drive.  Modern drives will last 10 years or more in normal typical use, without special consideration.
    As it turns out, making a RAID array of SSDs is a great way to boost performance across the board, have bunches of free space, and ensure even the heaviest usage doesn't shorten the drive life.  I have done so, creating a 2 TB system drive C: made from 4 SSDs and Photoshop's swap file (and pretty much everything else) pointed to C:.  This system flies, and I can barely tell when Photoshop and/or Windows "goes virtual" and starts using its scratch/swap files heavily.  I don't even notice Photoshop auto-saves.
    Sorry for the SSD diversion.
    Back on topic: 
    Pretty much everyone who's successfully using a computer - Mac and PC users alike - comes to realize after a while that the task of integrating things on their computers and making everything work falls on THEM, not the developers of applications like Adobe.  Some applications pose unique challenges, but to think you can just throw up your hands and try to make it someone else's problem when something goes wrong simply isn't a viable strategy.  Maybe that's how things should be, but it's not how it is.
    For those of you struggling to get Photoshop to run properly, bear in mind that it's on you to get things working.  It works for most folks.  It could be a configuration or setup choice you've made that may need revisiting, or some kind of restorative activity that you need to do, or even something very minor like clearing your Photoshop preferences, but it may well take your learning new things and doing things you didn't think you'd have to do to get back to where you can edit photos.  It's no one's problem but your own.
    So let us here on the forum help you - when we say to do something, try it.  We're not here to jerk you around; we're users just like you who have already found the ways to make things work, and we'd like to help you do the same.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Could not complete your request because of a program error.

    When starting Photoshop CS6 I get this error message, Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended  Could not complete your request because of a program error (-- OK --).  This happens on the main screen immediately.  Once I click OK the program seems to be alright.  But some part of it, that I haven't discovered yet, may not function properly.
    I am running Windows7 Professional Service Pack 1 64 bit with Intel i7-4770k CPU and 16 GIG Ram.
    This problem just started recently, everything has been fine up till now.  I must have done something when trying to defragment the Registry or get rid of temp files.
    I have uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and reinstalled it with no effect.  I have tried to run Photoshop CS6 32 bit in Safe Mode, but it will not run.  It hangs up on Reading Memory.
    Is there any kind log file that would tell me what is causing this to occur?
    Does anyone know what might cause this?
    Thank you in advance for any helpful information.
    J. J. Patterson

    Did you reset your Preferences and Photoshop tools.  Photoshop Preferences are not removed with an un-install and an Install does not install preferences.  Preferences are created  for a user id when a user ID start Photoshop  and there are no preferences for the user ID.    

  • Could not save....because the file is already in use or was left open

    I have been using PS since V5 and have never experienced this problem which continues to crop up in PSCS3. I get this stupid error message "Could not save....because the file is already in use or was left open." Even if I save as a new file which does not exist anywhere in the galaxy, I will get the same &^%$!! message. I have gone to the folders and made sure read only was unchecked in properties. I have lots of disk space and four gigs of high-end RAM. This is particularly frustrating when you are using this software to make a living and a fifteen minute project becomes a 45 minute project. I like everything about CS3 but want to pull my hair out by the roots when I pay for the best photo editing software available and it continues to screw me out of money. Adobe, are you out there? Can anyone help???
    Thanks
    Win XP SP2 / P4 3.2 running at 3.36 / four gig ram / buncha HDD space (more than 2TB total.
    Thanks and please excuse my prosaic explosions.

    Same error intermittently on different files. Windows7 64bit CS4. Saving a file in Photoshop - working from local hard drive - and got the file in use can not save error. We tried changing the name, saving as a different file type with no success. I closed absolutely every application that was running and then stopped all non windows processes from Task Manager and still file in use.
    I was finally able to save by choosing "NONE" for the preview instead of Tiff 8-bit in the save options.
    The bug is in Photoshop and it is putting a file lock on the preview file that it creates and then not alowing any save with the preview option checked.
    After saving without a preview we could close PS and reopen then open the saved file and resave with the preview selected. Closing PS unlocked the preview file.
