Problem with the Ray Tracer in Photoshop CS5

I am very new to 3D modeling but I have been fallowing online tutorials to properly set-up and use the repousse tool with ray tracing in CS5. Last night I did a very intensive Font design with great success. Just about an hour ago I got an Adobe update for CS4 which I installed. Afterwards, the ray tracing in the repousse tool would not work. It would start and I would see the render grid pop up and then it would suddenly close. I closed photoshop cs5 and reopened it and still the same problem. I then went into the performance settings and they were all set at the same settings as the previous night. I have no idea why this feature would suddenly stop working but the problem started after the adobe CS4 update. If someone can help me fix this I would be greatly appreciated.

O.K tried reinstalling the whole suite, which was really annoying because the installer is such a load of...., well let's say it's not good. After deinstalling the reinstall failed and I had to run the cleanup tool (which produced some error's, how is that even possible) and do some other stuff suggested by the support. (It's really annoying that such an expensive programm has such a bad installer - CS3/4/5, always the same problem. At least the Adobe support is really good, so that helps a bit)
After all I managed to reinstall the whole thing but this didn't help. Interesting enough it seem this has to do something with the file. If I create a simple text 3D-object it renders fine, so I guess I will start all over again and try if I get this working. This time I will save copies of every step, maybe I can figure out if this happens again.
Another strange detail: the 3D-tools have an error, too on this file. If I move the object around in space they really jump on the slightest movement of the mouse.

Problem with the 3d part of photoshop CS5

Dear everybody,
im trying to follow a PS tutorial on the web, which is quite good i think (http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/3d/create-a-shiny-earth-with-photoshop-3d-layers/comment -page-1/#comments) , but i run upon a problem which is next:
At part 11, he tells me to: 'The weather seems to be too cloudy, because we can see the clouds that are on the other side through the transparent areas. Making the material one sided will fix that problem. Uncheck Two Sided.
As you can see, he can uncheck that, because he is in CS4 i think. But in CS5 you can not uncheck that, although, i can't.
Can someone please tell me/explain to me where i can uncheck that? Because i really can't find it.
Thanks in advance.
Jordi

Hi Jordi,
The option to light both sides of a material was removed in CS5. Having said that there are a few other ways to achieve the effect presented in the tutorial. The quickest way is to go to 3D> Render Settings... and check 'Remove Backfaces' in the Face Style options. What is happeing is the inside and outside surfaces are getting rendered, and since the cloud 3D layer is effectively 'in front' of the earth 3D layer you are seeing more than wanted. By removing the backface, you no longer render the inside surface.
Another method is too merge the 3D layers so the clouds become a shell that covers the earth. Doing it this way you can also light and shade the earth with the clouds and not need to use the Layer Styles drop shadow method.
Hopefully that makes sense.
regards,
steve

Problems with Lightroom 5.2 and Photoshop CS5. Please help!

I recently bought Lightroom 5; and now edit my raws initially in Lightroom. Once edited I export them as JPGs. Then I usually also open them as the JPGs in Photoshop CS5. Once opened there is noticeably more grain in each photo which is creating havoc with my processing. Much appreciated if anybody can help. I have updated Lightroom to 5.2, and have re-installed Photoshop CS5, with no sucess.

The read me file from Adobe indicate that LR 5.2 has "preliminary" support for the Olympus EM-1 raw files.
I would make sure you keep your original raw files so they can be converted when the support is finalized. i.e. I would not convert to dng on import if that is your normal workflow.

Photoshop CS5.1 Crashes Upon Opening: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver-"

Every time I try to open photoshop I get a window that pops up and says:
"Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software.
GPU enhancements can be enable in the Performance panel of Preferences."
Then windows shuts the program down. The details of the problem are:

It is a legit copy and was working last month with no trouble. I've updated the drivers and tried a few solutions that have worked for other people that I found on Google (such as disabling CUDA and setting my "power management mode" to "prefer maximum performance" on my video card) but so far nothing has worked.
Thanks in advance!

It has stopped crashing because somehow it turned off "Enable GL Drawing" on its own because I could never even get a menu open. Not sure how it did that but I am grateful. I still get the error when I open Photoshop up but at least it hasn't crashed yet. At the time when it was crashing I never would have been able to get you the system info due to the speed that it was crashing upon just opening the program. In case you still need it:

I am getting an error encountered problem with the display driver for my Photoshop CS5 extended

I have Windows 7 and have used CS5 extended with no problems for quite a while now.
Last week I started up CS5 and received the error:
"Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturers website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
"Please close program and uninstall and re-install if problem persists"
I was able to edit, however when I went to save my work it would not do so. The following error came up.
"Could not complete the command because the extension could not be loaded"
"Could not save a copy as .....because of a program error"
I checked to make sure I have the latest driver, I also uninstalled and re-installed the program and I am still getting the errors.
Can anyone help with this?

CS5: Problem with the brush tool

Hi there,
I have a problem with the brush in CS5.
My system:
Win 7 Home Premium
ATI Graphics Card (Radeon HD 5770)
When I use the "Alt" key and right mouse button to change the size or the "hardness" of the current brush there is no more the red color (inside the brush) indicating the "hardness" (or the size).
I already updated the driver of my graphics card and checked the preferences (disabling and enabling OpenGL).
There were no other modifications to my system (despite Windows Updates and the Update to Camera Raw 6.4).
Any hints?
Thanks Holger.

Hi Noel,
I should have read your post before deinstalling Photoshop.
Thanks for your answer. I thought that I have used Photoshop (and the brush resize mouse command) after installing the 11.3 version of the catalyst driver. But it seems I was wrong. I will downgrade now to 11.2.
Thanks,
Holger.

Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver

I rummaged around in here looking at opengl topics and others associated with the above error, but I'm not seeing what I'm encountering (or I am and I don't recognize it!).....
I bought CS4 a week or so ago, and installed it on a system running XP32 with service pack 3, 4GB of ram withe the /3GB switch set, nVidia 8600 GT card (which according to the list is supported), and multiple spindles for images, scratch, applications, and so on. I found other topics earlier so I downloaded the most recent drivers for my video card.
I'm not crashing and burning, but I'm getting some messages...
I opened an image, and while working on it I wanted to do a transform/warp. I got the message that Photoshop couldn't perform the operation because there wasn't enough memory. It didn't crash but I had to shut down CS4 and restart it to do the warp.
Most recently I opened a couple images for a panorama, and while doing the merge I got the message that "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled gpu enhancements." It tells me to check for the latest drivers - I've ALREADY got the lastest drivers. Again, no crash, just the warning. It completed the panorama.
There have been a couple other occurrences of messages of this type, so I'm curious if there's some set of preferences or system settting I need to adjust to optimize things? I've alrady adjusted the nVidia settings because I also run Lightroom and they're having problems too.
I've read the tech notes for the video and such and didn't find any set of optimizations there so is there a set of adjustments beyond the preferences that needs to be adjusted to improve memory and video performance? And if so, can someone point me to them.

As I understand it (suspect at best) XP32 can address 4 gig of memory. the /3gb switch lets the applications get at 3 gig of that. If my video card takes the first 256MB, and XP is guaranteed the other 750 of the 1st gig, and in the CS4 performance preferences I should be giving it from 1462 - 1895 MB (I've given it around 1890), that leaves me with another gig or so... Is that limited to applications or can XP use it? In any case, I'm not crashing, I just get the message every so often about being out of memory. I don't recall ever seeing this with CS3, but new version, new oddities...
