Tree, flame and picture frame filters - Photoshop CC 2014 (Win7)

Tree, flame and picture frame filters are greyed out in my Photoshop CC 2014 (Win7) although I try applying them on a separate layer on a jpg file. How to solve this problem please?

    my new filters tree flames and picture frame are greyed out and not available. what do I need to do?

    It's likely that your graphics card/GPU does not support the new feature. If you are using an older video card or an integrated graphics card that is not new like the Intel Iris or Iris pro than that is likely the reason.

  • Photoshop cc enhanced scripting for tree and picture frame patterns

    the flame, tree and picture frame patterns are missing my drop down box in the fill window. They are in the

    Hi Kmjc,
    If you are using the Photoshop CC 2014 version, you need to click on the filter menu and choose render and you will be able to see Flame, Picture frame and Tree options.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

  • Drag and drop picture frames in Photoshop Elements 11 from one file to another?

    Hello,
    I am a digital scrapbooker.
    I recently started using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I previously had been using Elements 7. I make extensive use of Picture Frames i.e "Basic Black 10px", and in Elements 7, it was very easy to drag and drop a picture frame from one file to another. (I use a separate file for each scrapbook page, and I often move pictures between  pages as I scrap them)
    In Photoshop Elementa 11,  I can drag and drop a picture frame from one file to another, but ONLY if there is no picture in it. If there is a picture, I cannot drag and drop - the circle-slash icon appears showing that it won't land. I was able to do this in Photoshop Elements 7, whether or not there was a picture in the frame.
    Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong, or did Photoshop Elements change this functionality?
    Thank you!

    I think this might be a bug in pse 11, at least on the windows version.
    You might try right clicking on the frame layer in the layers panel, choose Duplicate Frame Layer and pick your other document as the destination.

  • Photoshop and picture frames

    Hello, I found some picture frames online that I tried to download into Photoshop to use in action however i cannt find them.  the frame is called gold.psd, my question is "am I dlowding the frame in the correct place and if so, why cant i use it.  The only frame that i see in action is the frame that came with the software which is called wood frame.  Thanks

    The file in question- Gold.psd is probably not an action file,
    but rather an image file intended to be used in an action.
    You could easily verify this by going to File>Open and selecting the
    gold.psd and then click open. If it were an action, doing this would
    open the action in the actions panel.
    Action files have a .atn extension.
    Perhaps the place you downloaded this file from has some instructions
    on the intended use of this file within an action.

  • Question about image size, canvas size and Picture frame

    Hi,
    This has always been a little confusing so let me describe what my question is:
    Assume I have a created a new PSD that is 8 1/2 x 11.
    The canvas size is the same 8 1/2 x 11.
    I want to put a border around the picture (say 1/2 of an inch all around), and put the finished picture in a Picture frame.  After it is in the frame, you would be able to see the entire picture plus the border.
    Q.  Should I change (reduce image size) of the PSD to (for this example), 8 x 10 1/2.      Then increase the canvas size to 8 1/2 x 11.  After I increased the canvas size, do a  Paint Bucket fill with white (to create the White border)?  then print the changed size PSD on 8 1/2 x 11 paper so that it will fit into a 8 1/2 x 11 picture frame
    I realize I could have just created the new PSD to be 8 x 10 1/2 in the first place.
    Hope I made this somewhat clear.
    Bob

    1: Decrease the size as you describe.
    2. Go to File>New or Ctrl N
    3. Make the box 8.5x11. Make sure the other data conforms to your image.
    4. Now,holding down Ctrl-Shift, Drag the image to the new box and release the mouse. Your image will be centered in the box.
    Note: there may be a method to do this including any adjustment layers, but I usually only do this as a last step, flattening a copy of the working file.

  • Save pdf with crop and bleed marks in Photoshop cc 2014

    ! !Hi,
    I used to save PDF for print with crop marks in Photoshop by setting them up when using "save as". Don't have that option any more in CC 2014. Is it a new way to do it or I have something turned off?
    Thanks! 

    I can get crop marks by using the "Print" menu and printing to PDF. My question is: How do you handle bleeds when printing crop marks in the "Save" or "Print" stage? Aren't the crop marks placed at the file extents?

  • Export to PDF, loss of shadows + picture frames

    I like to use Pages features like shadows and picture frames on photos (using Inspector > Graphic). I then export my Pages document to PDF to send for professional printing, but when the PDF is opened on Windows machines at the printer, the shadows are gone, and the photo inside the picture frame is totally missing. Some of the picture frames will stay in the PDF without the photo, and some will completely disappear along with the photos. I have confirmed this when viewing on a friend's PC also.
    I've tried both standard Pages exporting AND printing to PDF from the print dialog box, both fail.
    I searched the forum high and low and was pretty surprised to find no one else discussing this issue. Any suggestions on how to work around this and preserve the shadows and picture frame treatments on PDFs viewed on Windows machines?
    (Note: I have already tried converting the PDF to a JPG or TIFF file using Preview, and that essentially works, but there is enough loss of DPI to cause concern at the printer, and besides, its just not ideal to print professionally from those formats).
    Also it would be amazing if there were a printing company out there who printed color & full bleed jobs directly from Pages files on their Mac- anyone know of one? That would solve the whole issue of having to fumble around preparing files for PC viewing. (Oh if it were only a Mac world)...

    I agree with kirbot -- Apple includes nice templates that are obviously meant for professional printing in reasonably large quantities. Regardless, there's no good reason I can think of why Pages' PDFs are not truly WYSIWYG in their output. That shadows and other things are not exported as part of the PDF is a really dumb idea on Apple's part.
    Just ran into this issue myself and had to ditch all the drop shadows in my brochure in order for the files to work with my online printer.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

    so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
    in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

    thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?

  • Photoshop CC 2014: intermittent and unpredictable issues

    My teachers and students are using Photoshop CC 2014, a recent upgrade for us from CS6. We are on Mac OSX 10.9.4 on MacBook Air laptops.
    There appears to be a very real issue relating to Layers. Images that are dragged from one window to another (rather than copied and pasted) may disappear entirely. Changes in Layer states or from background to a floating layer, may also result in lost images. My initial thought was that this was related to somehow maxing out the video memory, however that does not seem to be the case: Saving and closing, then restarting the program shows the Layers to be empty. Sometimes, however, the image Layer icon still shows the layer to have the image (but no image is appearing on the actual layer.)
    Selection tools – some of the selection tools take on a life of their own and create an unpredictable selection. For instance, using the Quick Selection Tool may look relatively accurate but upon release of the mouse will turn into large stair stepped, ziggurat shaped selections that bear almost no resemblance to the original selection.
    Both of the above issues seem to be sporadic and unpredictable: one student may experience once, another may experience it five times in a row, while someone else may be totally unaffected.
    There are also intermittent issues of Photoshop simply shutting down.
    I'm looking at the possible re-imaging and re-installation of several thousand Macs and would greatly appreciate any insights here.

    factor path
    Auto correction can be a tricky thing, huh?
    When i'm copying factor path and paste on a new layer it creates a vector mask instead of just placing vector shape,
    Do you mean a plain Path?
    I suppose you could select/create a Path in the Paths Panel or deselect the Layer in the Layers Panel.

  • CameraRaw is not updated in Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014. Active version is still 8.3, although 8.5 is available. AAM and CC App say everything up-to.date.

    On my Windows 7 (x64) PC I have Photoshop CC and since this morning Photoshop CC 2014. If I open a RAW or DNG file in either of them, CameraRaw version 8.3 opens. When I search for updates via Help -> Updates, no updates are found. Creative Cloud App shows no updates as well (everything up-to-date).
    For Photoshop CS6 (installed in parallel, local license, no cloud version) I got an update to CameraRaw 8.5 today. And it works in this old version.
    Tried already to download manual update from Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date. However, Installer fails with "Update failed.Updates couldn't be installed".
    How can I make CameraRaw 8.5 available for CC / CC 2014 as well ?

    Solved ! Found another post in this forum that gave me some useful hints. You have to download Camera Raw 8.5 manually.
    Download link for Camera Raw 8.5.0.236 for Windows is http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw8-8.0/8.5.50/setup.zip
    The Installer didn't work, so I only unzipped the file. You can find the Camera Raw plugins in the sub-directories:
    32-bit version:
    - > payloads/AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-050614141453/Assets1_1.zip
    extract file "1003" and rename it to "Camera Raw.8bi"
    copy it to c:/Program Files (x86)/Common/Adobe/Plug-ins/CC/File Formats/CameraRaw.8bi (previous CameraRaw is overwritten, you should copy old version to a save place first)
    64-bit version:
    - > payloads/AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-x64-050614143245/Assets1_1.zip
    extract file "1002" and rename it to "Camera Raw.8bi"
    copy it to c:/Program Files/Common/Adobe/Plug-ins/CC/File Formats/CameraRaw.8bi (previous CameraRaw is overwritten, you should copy old version to a save place first)
    Start Photoshop CC and open a RAW file to be sure it's ok now.

  • Lightroom 5.5 DNG "Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 doesn't work (Mac)

    I just upgraded to Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC 2014 today, and now in Lightroom when I select a DNG file and click "Edit In Photoshop CC 2014", Photoshop appears but nothing else happens. The file doesn't open.
    I can copy the DNG file to my desktop and open it with Photoshop directly and that works. Also, selecting a PSD file in Lightroom and doing "Edit In" Photoshop works. Only with DNG files does "Edit In" not work.
    This was working before today's big update.
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    Lightroom 5.5 (Camera Raw 8.5)
    Photoshop 2014.0.0 (Camera Raw 8.5.0.236)
    Mac OS X 10.9.3

    This worked~!~
    I used this solution:
    Solution 2: Run a repair mode installation of Photoshop CC 2014 from the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    This solution allows you to run a repair installation without uninstalling Photoshop CC 2014. If you've already uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014, install it from the Apps tab of the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Open the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Select the Apps tab.
    Scroll down (if necessary) until the Find New Apps section displays.
    On the same line as Find New Apps, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.
    Click the Install button next to Photoshop and select CC 2014.
    Click Yes, install this version.
    When you have run this, CC says you need to update Bridge and CC2014. I ran the Bridge update and then tested LR edit in. It said I still needed ACR 8.6 which I already had.
    Downloaded a clean copy of ACR 8.6/DNG Converter 8.6 and installed.
    The LR edit-in is working; CC says all up to date!
    Thanks for the solution!!
