3d Feature on Photoshop CS5

I downloaded the trial for photoshop cs5 extended and I can't get the 3d to open.  Suggestions?

In cs5 under Preferences>Performance is open gl enabled?
If it's not and you can't enable the open gl option, then try updating your
video card driver.

  • Where to get Photoshop CS5 (NOT Extended)?

    I don't need the extra features of Photoshop CS5 Extended but I can't seem to find plain-old Photoshop CS5 anywhere in an academic version.  Adobe's web site makes it appear that there is, in fact, a non-extended version but I have not been able to find it anywhere.  Has anyone seen it?  I'd really rather not order something directly from Adobe because I've never felt their prices are as good as through retail chains.

    http://www.studica.com/ or https://www.academicsuperstore.com/ are the ones I know about that are "general" for education
    There is also http://e5.onthehub.com/WebStore/ProductsByMajorVersionList.aspx?ws=bc66e4b5-4af4-dc11-89b0 -0030485a6b08&JSEnabled=1 that is directly linked to SELECTED Universities... you won't be able to buy here unless YOUR University has a contract with this site

  • The feature "Save as" is not working in Photoshop CS5

    Hello, I've downloaded Photoshop CS5 in trial mode but the "feature" "Save as" and "Save" are not working, I can't save my work, is it a restriccion for being in the trial mode?. I'm using Windows XP sp2 with 1.5 Gb RAM, 100 Gb HD and 2.6 Ghz Intell processor. Before the Photoshop CS5 I had installed the CS4 Suite and was working perfectly well. Could you help me with this?.
    Thanks

    The trial version is the same as the full version except
    for the 30 day limitation.
    I think on windows xp you need sp3 for cs5 to work as expected.
    Anyway that's what is says here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/systemreqs/
    That may not be the problem, but it's a good place to start.
    Also it's not a good idea to post your email on the forums.

    Can't Adobe upload better quality videos?

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS5 Extended to Photoshop CS 6, because I don't use the 3D features.

    Can I upgrade Photoshop CS5 Extended just to Photoshop CS6, because I don't use the 3D features. I only use the picture corrections and special picture features?

    Yes you can upgrade to CS6 Standard from CS5 Extended for $199.
    If you are in another country, check your local Adobe Store and Click on Photoshop CS6 Upgrade,there is a dropdown list of qualifying products under "I own..."

  • Photoshop CS5 "Drag&Drop Place" feature disable?

    Photoshop CS5 now allows you to Drag and Drop files into your currently open document and place them as a "Smart" layer. This is quite a nifty feature, and I use it all the time for indesign, but i have grown so use to having Drag and Drop in photoshop simply open the dropped document, that i just cant shake the habit, and am constantly placing files that i simply wanted to open. Now Drag and Drop to open still works if you don't have any documents open or if you drag and drop over the menu bar area, but it's slightly less convenient.
    I'd really like to just disable the Drag and Drop to Place, feature, but it would be nice if only placed a dropped file if you were holding down the control or alt key, otherwise it would just open it as normal.

    Hi Nick,
    I understand your issue, I got the same when upgraded to PS CS5 too, now I just got used to drag the files around the PS UI.
    One thing (nor sure if you already know) is that you don't have to drag the file exactly in the menubar to open it instead of place,
    you can drag anywhere in the UI that not inside a open doc tab, I drag mine into my layers panel, or any pter panel that is open
    at the moment.
    Regards,
    Dan

  • Complex Selections Made Easy in Photoshop CS5 | CS5 Production Premium Feature Tour | Adobe TV

    Take the time and frustration out of making precise image selections. New Truer Edge selection technology in Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended offers better edge detection and masking results in less time—even when you select the trickiest image elements, like hair. Eliminate background color around the edges of your selection with new color decontamination capabilities.

    Yes,I agree with Michael,  I am very disappointed in a company like adobe putting up such low resolution videos. They should all be available in at least 720. It makes a video like this pointless because you cant even see what he is talking about.

  • Photoshop CS5 missing features???

    OK I downloaded the trial of CS5 and installed it.  The install went fine.  But when I try to open some of my Canon RAW files some strange things I notice.
    I opened an old Canon 400D RAW file and it opened fine in Adobe camera RAW.  But none of the new lens correction profile options are available.
    I opened a new Canon 550D RAW file and Photoshop CS5 just told me that it was a none supported file formate.  But thats crazy as this same file opened fine in Adobe camera RAW 5.7.  So whats going on?
    I installed this trial on a Windows XP 32bit machine.  Please help if you can.

    Please help I want to use these features..

    I have a  Intel 965/963 Graphics Media Accelerator. I know it's not good but it meets all the requirements for CS5 3D.
    No, it doesn't. Sorry, there's no way around it.

  • Program error when try to use 3D repousse in Photoshop CS5 extended?

    Please help!!!! Unable to use 3D repousse Photoshop CS5 Extended  (my system info is described below)
    I tried almost everything that is available in Adobe library help, also re-installed programs as requested by Adobe support (suspected to get rid of me), it did not solve the problem.
    I used to have 3D capabilities, and also crop tool worked well before (now it changes all layers when using crop even in background).  My PC is same,  nor I downloaded plugins or changed video cards (these things are too advanced for me!), also restored preferences many times.
    My system makes automatic updates, reviewed graphics and adobe as recommended.
    OpenGL settings is odd …only can access basic, other modes are not highlighted (normal or advanced).
    ERRORS (for 3D Text)    
    1-“Your 3D scene now exceeds the limits of lights and/or textures for the video card’s hardware-accelerated 3D rendering. As long as the limits are exceeded, 3D rendering will be done in software only, and some features (e.g Repousse)will be disabled.”
    2- “Your video card does not meet the requirements for hardware-accelerated 3D rendering. All 3D will be rendered with software only “
    3-“ Could no complete the text layer command because of a program error”
    ERROR (for object)
    Open GL/GPU HARDWARE ACCELERATION IS CURRENTLY  DISABLED. 3D WILL NOW BE RENDERED WITH SOFTWARE ONLY.  TO ENABLE OPEN/GL  ACCELERATION, GO TO PREFERENCES > PERFORMANCE TAB AND CHECK THE “ENABLE OPENGL GRAWING” CHECK BOX.
    Is it possible that I have a GPU Sniffer? all these terms I have learned recently =)   but I have a healthy & capable graphic card and accepted by adobe standards.

    thank you for replying...but it seems an easy answer again  like one given by support....I had photoshop working perfectly before with same video card, I think in one project I clicked something in program (photoshop)that was not ready to correct it by itself... It should be available for the program to give warning several times to the user, I do not know what made Photoshop to disable OpenGL settings, and not be able to reverse action!!!!!  How do I change a GPU sniffer?  I an not a tech, all these things I just learned reading....had spent hundreds of hours....really dissapointed of Adobe and  its support....it is not fair to sell an expensive program without support, it seems to me that  I know now more than a live customer support.

  • How do I get pen pressure sensitivity in Photoshop CS5?

    Hi
    There is no sensitivity to pressure in my Photoshop CS5. I have installed the driver for my tablet (Intuos 4), but it still doesn't work. I have also clicked the icons for both pressure and opacity in the bar at the top, but they made no difference.
    I see a triangle with an exclamation point in the brushes menu by the control options. It says "Control by pen pressure requires the use of a pressure sensitive tablet," so I take this to mean that my tablet isn't supporting sensitivity.
    The tablet works just fine, but the sensitivity won't. What should I do?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I figured it out! Pen Pressure is working just fine now. Here are the steps I used to fix my problem. Thanks for your help, Noel!
    Windows 7/Vista Pro Driver
    -Disconnect the tablet from the computer
    -Open your start menu and then the Control Panel
    -Open programs and features
    -Uninstall any listing here for Tablet or Wacom Tablet and then restart the computer
    -After restarting, download and install only the latest driver (6.16) from wacom website
    -Once the installation is complete, and the system is stable, connect the tablet.

    That would be the best way to do it while still using a table layout which in and of itself is not recommended, in large part  for this very reason.
    Every time you want to make a small change to the layout of your site, it will require re-slicing and re-generating code out of PS. You would be much better off taking the time to understand css layouts. Here is a good place to start to get the basics of css: http://www.w3schools.com/css

  • How do I export HDR photos made on Photoshop CS5 onto a flashdrive so I can use them on a window machine for commercial purposes.  Adobe support claims it is a apple problem not theirs.  PS the other window machine doesn't have Photoshop cs 5 installed?

    Hi, How do I export HDR photos made on a macpro with photoshop cs5 onto a flashdrive so they can be imported correctly into a windows machine that doesn't have photoshop installed on it?  Already exported to a HP flashdrive but they do not even show up on a windows machine. Need that capabillity since this is for commercial printing.  My wife's mac laptop only shows 3/4 of the picture the rest is grayed out.  Adobe support claims it is a Apple problem.  Love the finger pointing and hold me blameless atitude on their part.  Told them creating a picture should be like gas that can be used in anybody's car, just not their Adobe equipped ferrari.  Do I need to convert the file struture so it can be read by the window machine? How would I do that ?  Any comments appreciated. Doug

    I certainly wouldn't expect to read native PS CS5 files with all features intact and supported on a machine that doesn't have CS5 installed. Try saving the files as flattened (no layers) TIFFs before moving them to the flash drive and trying to open them on the Windoze box.

  • Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS5 ex, Photoshop Elements 9, iPhoto, Aperture????

    Okay.... so I am a bit overwhelmed with trying to decide if I should be upgrading from iPhoto or not.
    iPhoto has been great for making my photobooks. But, on occasion, it has been a bit frustrating trying to get the right number of vertical vs. horizontal photos on a page. Sometimes when adding, if you add in the right order, configurations can change, usually in size (not necessarily orientation unless it is the fewer photos per page layouts 2-3 or 4). But, it makes it go really quickly to do albums as there isn't much engineering going on as you go from page to page (on occasion, I make a separate dummy album that has a different theme that I think manages my horizontal v. vertical issue or perhaps the number of photos allowed on a page (as some themes only have up to 4 or 6 photos per page and on occasion, I like to have more 9, for example)).
    Primarily, I have used iPhoto to do personal albums. I intend on possibly starting to offer my services to get albums done for people and/or do slideshow videos for them. With that, I do end up, even with my own, photos from years past or current that have coloring issues or rips/tears/fading.
    As it is right now, I have used iPhoto to work on the highlights, shadows, etc, which for me right now, is by trial and error.... I don't really know what I am doing and iPhoto doesn't seem to care. Fortunately, whatever I do, I can go back to the original, which I think is true in Aperture as well... However, I think I might have heard differently with Photoshop (CS5 or Elements)?
    I have not installed any plug-ins for the other printer services in iPhoto (eg. Leather Craftsmen), but, I know it is possible a client may want a 12x12 album or some of those other shapes, sizes, cover options out there.... e.g. Shutterfly, even.
    One other bit of information is that I am not just a candid completely amateur photographer either. I do take quite a bit of photos with my Canon Rebel Xsi. Not top of the line.... but, although I can should in raw, have chose to always just go with jpeg as this is a hobby of mine and I really don't have loads of time to just adjust all my photos... nor necessarily the space on my computer to put everything at raw. But, I could be persuaded otherwise, if I really knew how to use and really know what the benefits of it are (again, I know I should take classes or something, just don't know where to focus my attention).
    So, what am I asking? Well, a few things:
    1. If my primary goal is to make Photobooks, which program(s) should I have?
    2. I understand you could have iPhoto or Aperture and then edit photos in PhotoShop.... Does that save the file back to Aperture/iPhoto or does it make a separate file in Photoshop?
    3. Which books, classes, etc would you suggest to learn the uses of such program(s)?
    4. Does the program you mention in #1 strong enough to handle typical adjustments on jpegs-aging, color casts, lack of proper lighting, red-eye (iPhoto seems to do okay on this even in the auto function, but on occasion, it sometimes replaces with too dark of a correction, or not fully complete.)
    5. Does Shutterfly have a print plug-in so I could make photobooks on either Aperture or iPhoto and have Shutterfly print? Or is that just available on Photoshop (unless I print to jpegs and then upload to Shutterfly using the Shutterfly uploader)?
    6. Is it really beneficial to shoot in raw over jpeg?
    7. If Photoshop is even part of your answer in #1, is it worth it to have CS5 or CS5 Extended with the 3D option?

    1. If my primary goal is to make Photobooks, which program(s) should I have?
    iPhoto is entirely template driven, Aperture's books are very customisable and there are losts of online options too. Google a bit and see what's out there.
    2. I understand you could have iPhoto or Aperture and then edit photos in PhotoShop.... Does that save the file back to Aperture/iPhoto or does it make a separate file in Photoshop?
    Yes and Yes. In iPhoto: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    In Aperture, Preferences _. Export and set your external editor there. WHen you send a pic to PS with Aperture it makes a tiif or psd and sends it over. Saving in Photoshop brings it back.
    4. Does the program you mention in #1 strong enough to handle typical adjustments on jpegs-aging, color casts, lack of proper lighting, red-eye (iPhoto seems to do okay on this even in the auto function, but on occasion, it sometimes replaces with too dark of a correction, or not fully complete.)
    Photoshop Elements is a good compromise between the cost of full photoshop and the features you'll need.
    5. Does Shutterfly have a print plug-in so I could make photobooks on either Aperture or iPhoto and have Shutterfly print? Or is that just available on Photoshop (unless I print to jpegs and then upload to Shutterfly using the Shutterfly uploader)?
    You could look that one up at Shutterfly yourself, no?
    6. Is it really beneficial to shoot in raw over jpeg?
    Depends on what you want to do... Really that's a massively basic question. I would check out some o the online Photo forums and see what advice you can find there tom get you started. You could do worse than look here
    http://www.digital-photography-school.com/
    7. If Photoshop is even part of your answer in #1, is it worth it to have CS5 or CS5 Extended with the 3D option?
    Given the amount of your experience, rather than diving in and spending a whole lot of money, start with iPhoto and Photoshop Elements. Explore. IF you want to upgrade, when you're ready, migrate to Aperture and Elements. I think you're a good way from facing CS5 yet.

  • Photoshop CS5 Flickers Under Windows 8 64

    I just upgraded my Win7 64 desktop to Win8 pro 64, and now photoshop cs5 is behaving very strangely. Any mouse click operation causes the entire working window to flicker, and the background to cycle between the normal pale gray background, a window full of transparent pixel rectangles, and solid black. Although functionality is not impaired (i.e., whatever one clicked with the mouse), as you might imagine it's very distracting .
    There doesn't appear to be any update from Adobe available within the help menu, so I think I'm up to date on the software.
    Has anyone else run into this? Is there a fix? Is this a known incompatibility between CS5 and Win8 64? I spent hours searching online before I did the Win8 upgrade looking for compatibility information on photoshop cs5 (and the rest of the cs5 master suite) but found very little information.

    Out of curiosity, what compelled you to buy Windows 8?
    It is not a Windows 8 discussion, but since you asked -- I bought an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $39.99 during Microsoft's promotional period. I think it was quite a compelling reason to buy a pro version of the latest OS for that price. Like it or not, Windows 7 is now 3 years old. But, hey, there're still people running XP
    Also someone asked about reasons for upgrading to Windows 8. Here's mine:
    1. Built-in anti-virus, improved firewall and overall security features on the kernel level. Stuff like, improved Windows drivers security, boot loader, etc.
    2. Improved performance -- anything from less number of running system services to a better RAM utilization. I can attest to that. Same stuff runs faster. Also much faster boot time as well as entering and leaving sleep modes.
    3. Improved Solid State Drive support "out-of-the-box". No additional set-up needed.
    4. Much improved Windows Explorer. (One of the compelling reasons for me.) They returned its toolbar that was taken out in Vista and made it optional. Also made it look more like Office ribbon, which everyone is familiar with by now.
    5. Much improved Task Manager. It adds a ton of useful features for a more geeky kind.
    6. Less intrusive Windows updates. No more annoying popups telling you to reboot. You get a message on the lock screen and everything is installed during a reboot.
    7. Much improved ways to create and do system recovery.
    8. Other small tools and utilities that are very useful and are now in one place. Stuff like creation of backups and restore discs, etc.
    I won't go any more into it because it is not a Windows 8 discussion. The bottom line is that all of my apps that used to work in Windows 7 seem to work just fine in Windows 8... except the Adobe CS 5 products. So you do the math... I understand that It's always easy to blame the OS maker or a driver maker. Although I do agree with you on one thing -- it is probably wise to wait until a Service Pack comes out. And it is not just because Microsoft would fix its bugs, it's mostly because all of the OEMs and software vendors will catch up to the new technologies.
