Adding filters to styles and effects

Photoshop Elements 3, Windows XP
I have attempted to install downloaded filters, extension .8BF. I placed them in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 3.0\plugins\filters.
Some show up when I open the Editor, others don't. I did empty cache folders under Previews.
Any help would be appreciated.

Operating system and version? Have you installed anything new lately in PSE or done any OS updates?

  • Styles and Effects Effects

    In the Styles and Effects palette, under Layer Effects, we seem to have lost
    the WOW NEON styles.
    Short of a reinstall, does anyone have any suggestions how to get these Wow
    Neon effects back?

    I am going to hijack Beth Haney's answer to another question as she explained it so well, but I do want to credit her.
    You don't say what platform you're using, so I'll give the instructions for both.
    With Elements closed, click on the start up icon then make a QUICK grab for (Windows) Control, Alt, and Shift keys or (Mac) Command, Option, and Shift keys. Hold all three down until you get a screen asking if you want to delete Settings. Say Yes. If you don't get that screen, you didn't get the keys depressed fast enough, so keep trying. A new Preference folder will build as Elements continues to launch.
    Since this is "new" behavior for an installation that's been working properly for a long time, it's possible that folder became corrupted. That's pretty common and can cause all kinds of mysterious things to happen. If this doesn't correct the problem, repost and add information about the kind of system you're using.

  • PSE 6 - Lost Layer Styles & Photo Effects

    I am running PSE 6 on two computers. For some reason, I cannot access layer styles or photo effects in the Editor on only one of the computers. I have run the "repair" function within the software - no fix. I have restarted several times - no fix. I have reset Tools - no fix. (You'll notice I get more desparate as I go along ... ) I have re-set Program Preferences - no fix. I have even tried copy/paste with the files from the working computer to the non-working computer ... C: Program Data/Adobe/PSE/6.0/locale/en_US  copying both Photo Creations and Photo Creations Metadata. Nope, that didin't work either. I've searched google for a solution to no avail. Nothing happened (that I know of) to "upset" the program. I am running PSE 6.0 on Vista 32 bit.
    Please help??!
    Thanks in advance,
    Roberta

    I know you said you did a copy/paste job on the folders but try renaming the mediadatabase.bd3 file and rebuilding it.
    See post #3 (XP) or post #9 (Vista) in the link below for instructions on how.

    Note: The application data folder is a hidden folder...but you already know that since you did the copy/paste. I've seen a few post that indicate it might take 10 minutes after launching for your styles and effects to rebuild.
    You might also try holding in the Shift key as you launch elements. In older versions, this made the preview cache rebuild...not sure if this is still true but worth a try. Again wait about 10 minutes after launching to see if your effects and styles rebuild after launch.

  • Can I use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with creative cloud photography?

    I'm really confused by this subscription pricing. If I purchase the $9.99/month, do I get the full desktop app of Photoshop and Lightroom? But I see on this page Products they list something called Photoshop CC that costs twice as much. How is that different from the Creative Cloud Photography?
    My main question is whether I can use photoshop text styles and photoshop actions with Creative Cloud Photography, since I just purchased a bundle that includes these and I want to be able to use them. But I'd also like to understand what comes with all of the various products and how they are different.
    My other question is how is Lightroom different from Photoshop? I have a sense of what you can do in Photoshop but I don't know much about Lightroom at all.
    One more question: the free trial -- is it limited in any way besides the time length? If I do that, will I get a clear idea of all that I will be able to do once I subscribe, or are the functions limited in the trial?
    I tried to just send an email to Adobe to ask these questions but apparently they are not interested in responding to emails from people who are not yet paying customers, so I was directed here. Thanks very much for your help!

    I always like to trot this bit about Bridge once in a while or in the voice of the "Two Bobs" from Office Space,
    "Can you tell us exactly what it is you do around here?"
    What Adobe Bridge does:
    Bridge is the coordinating hub of the Creative Suite. Synchronizing color management settings for all suite programs is done from Bridge, and can only be done from Bridge, to take one important use.
    Bridge displays actual thumbnails of many more file types than Finder or Explorer. It also allows instant play of sound or video files more readily than the native OS file managers.
    Bridge allows direct access to file metadata, to embed copyright information  and keywords where appropriate (e.g., for corporate logo vector and raster files). It also displays the fonts used in an InDesign file, the swatches in an INDD or AI and the output plates (including spot color plates) they use.
    When managing the assets for a design project, Bridge allows quick and simple sorting, rating and custom labeling (with color flash indications) of assets. I can rate images according to whether they are rejects, possibles, for review by client, or approved. The filters built into Bridge allow instant isolation of only the approved images or designs in a folder, only the rejects (for deletion) or only files with certain ratings, no matter how many files it contains. It recognizes aspect ratios, so if I only need a landscape or a 16:9 image in a folder of hundreds of images, I turn off the aspect ratios I don't need.
    Once filtered, the remaining visible files can be selected and copied, moved, or deleted without affecting the rest of the contents of a folder.
    Collections are a massively useful feature. One of my clients is a performing arts center, and in a season we turn out dozens of ads, flyers, brochures, web banners, playbills, billboards and other collateral using the same assets over and over. These assets are organized by artist and/or show on disk, but I set up each season's repeating assets as a Collection in Bridge, so that I just have to open the collection and drag and drop these assets into new INDD, AI, PSD, HTML (in Dreamweaver), FLA or AE projects without having to navigate from folder to folder picking up individual files.
    Bridge's Favorites is another place I stack frequently-accessed folders, such as stock photography, backgrounds, and top-level folders for active projects.
    Assets can be divided into subfolders, but a quick toggle of "Show items from subfolders" exposes all of the assets in a single view while maintaining their organization. I will typically keep AIs, PSDs, EPSs, stock photography and client images in separate subfolders within a project. When I'm ready to start pulling assets into an InDesign layout, I toggle this on and simply drag what I need into the layout.
    Bridge comes with Adobe Camera Raw built in, which is many times faster than using Photoshop to adjust jpegs or tiffs for things like tonal range, white balance, cropping, spotting and sharpening, and is non-destructive.
    One tremendously useful Bridge function for InDesign CS5+ users is the "Show linked files" feature, which opens all the linked files in a layout into a single view, regardless of where they are physically located. I often use this when doing alternative layouts from a client-approved mockup for a campaign, to be certain the same assets are used in each piece, or when creating a motion graphic or interactive piece for the campaign in After Effects or Flash.
    The batch and image processing scripts built into Bridge automate things like creating web-ready small jpegs from multiple images, renaming large numbers of files in place or by copying to an alternative location, creating sets of PSD, png, jpeg or other file types from an assortment of image files, and so on.
    Bridge is so much a part of my daily workflow that on my main workstation I have one monitor dedicated to it almost 100%. Bridge just sits open 24/7, ready for use. I would run at half speed without it, no question.

  • A thought on Style for the sake of Style, and a question: Where to wire constants?

    Lately, I've been trying to hone in on aspects of Style that effect my program's performance, and ignoring stylistic niceties in the sake of meeting deadlines. For example, Local Variables: if they work and don't cause race conditions, what the hey? I used to break my back to use as few locals as possible, but after Profiling some vi's, I've found I can live with 50mS delay here and there. Same for the "one page diagram" idea. Most of my programs take up two screens, while still using several sub-vi's! I've even gone back to using sequences after swearing them off a year ago. Where's the break-even point of using excellent Style and keeping your job?
    Now for a question that I can't s
    eem to profile my way into an answer::
    Most of my programs run in one large loop and use Cases to run events. Many items require constants. Does it make much difference to place these constants OUTSIDE the loop? I'm assuming a constant of 12093.0092 may take more time and memory than, say a boolean True constant or a Not A Path constant. Any thoughts?
    Richard

    Hello. In regard to the first part of your question, it's very important to remain productive and meet all of your deadlines. You can maintain good style and obtain efficient performance and improve your productivity by following some simple guidelines. One such guideline is to use a state machine architecture for most of your top level diagrams. With a state machine, you can avoid local variables by passing data in shift registers, and reading or modifying the data within the appropriate states (frames of the case structure). You also conserve block diagram space by breaking your application into snippets that each fit within one frame of your case structure. Best of all, you can easily expand your application as needed by simply adding more frames to the
    case structure and enumerated type definition.
    To quickly create a state machine using LabVIEW 7.0, choose the Standard State Machine Template from the New... dialog, under Design Patterns.
    For more simple style guidelines, view the presentations at the following link: http://www.bloomy.com/Resources.htm

  • Adding a template style page in Pages 5

    Can anyone help me please?
    I have upgraded to Pages 5.0 and not only are there far fewer interesting templates for me to start working from (I am looking particularly in the Newsletters section) but I am also having a problem adding template styled pages to a new project.
    Previously I simply clicked on Insert > Pages in the menu and then selected the layout. I can't seem to find how to do this in 5.0 - all I can do is create a blank section.
    I'm sure I must be missing something really obvious but I can't figure out what it is!
    Regards, Peter
    PS is there any way to upgrade to Pages 5.0 but not lose the decent (interesting) templates? I'm a school teacher and the kids love having interesting templates to start with - these new ones are terrible!

    The lack of page/section styles was one of the first features I noticed missing in Pages 5.0. This is really disappointing for me as I've created a number of my own document templates and have made extensive use of page/section styles.
    On one hand I can understand why Apple may have removed this feature. It is rather an anomaly among its peers. Microsoft Word does not use page/section styles and to some users it could be a bit of a confusing  feature in Pages. I know for me it was somewhat confusing at first. I was used to the MS Word way of doing things and I was wondering how these section style templates differed from me just setting my own section style. But then I figured out that it is like a slide template in Keynote. It is simply a template and can be used as a shortcut to setup a new document section in a standard style. Since figuring out how to use the page/section styles, it has been awesome and has been one of the key reasons I like Pages better than Word and why I switched completely from Word to Pages.
    For now, I guess I will have to figure out how to work without it which will basically mean that I will have to go back to the old manual method of just copying and pasting section styles. It will take longer to add new sections with identical styles to a document and will be more buggy. It is likely that I will not always get it exactly correctly which will result in consistency issues in my documents. As well, the inability to copy and paste whole pages/sections from the page thumbnails will make this process take even longer and be even more buggy. But ultimately it is doable.
    I can only hope that the page/section templates is a feature that Apple will bring back very soon. I wish someone from Apple would at least let us know if this feature will be making its way back in or if it is gone for good. Accordingly, we could move on or plan for its return.

  • Why doesn't Photoshop CS5 automatically scale strokes and effects?

    I am looking everywhere for why Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically scale strokes and effects. I could've sworn there was a preference in CS4 but there's nothing resembling this in CS5. Driving me crazy!
    Whenever I do a Free Transform, the effects are completely out of whack and force me to waste time resetting them individually, layer by layer. I used to be able to grab any object or group of objects, do a transformation and Photoshop automatically recalculated. If anyone has a tip on how to avoid the annoyance of having to go layer by layer and forcibly adjusting that would be great.

    Layer style effect setting are in absolute pixel size values so if you change the scale of a layer the style size remains the same. You can edit the layers style effects after tou do a transform on the layer and change the absolute setting. If the layer has been rastersized or flattened you can not. I have request that Adobe add support for relative settings like inches, cm, mm etc which is relative to the documents dpi resolution. This would be very helpful for recording actions. 
    However photoshop can scale existing layer style for you when you use Image Size there is a check box.  If you need to scale a single layer and have its style scaled you need to do it in a round about way. Convert the layer to a smart object. Then instead of using transform double click on the layser smart object icon in the layers palette.  Photoshop will open that layer embedded smart object in Photoshop for you to work on it.. Use Image Size to resize the layer up or down in size and check resample constrain and the scale style check box.  Then use menu File>Save.  Photoshop will then update the embedded smart object in the smart object layer and you can close the document Photoshop opened for you to work on the smart object.

  • Install layer styles in effects in pse 8

    unable to install some layer styles in effects-please advise how I can complete installations.

    Well, I don't know where windows explorer comes in, but you want to take the .asl files (you must unzip them if they're in a zip file), and put them into C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photosho Elements\8.0\Photo Creations\layer styles. Then you will need to delete the file MediaDatabase.db3, which is in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photosho Elements\8.0\locale\en_US. When you next start PSE give it time to rebuild this file before you do anything (when you see the icons reappear in the effects panel, it's done).

  • Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

    Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

    You probably don't really need 1080 at 60 for your finished projects but since you're just starting out with Motion, you need to lower your expectations. A long way. 1080 is about 2 million pixels per frame, DV is only about 400,000. That's not just five times as many pixels for the Mac to track; everything in video is exponential.
    Explore the training tutorials available by Mark Spencer. You will get an idea of how his super powerful machine reacts with the software.
    Adding a light roughly doubles the processing time over flat scenes. Two lights increases processing again. Reflections require processing the lights and then calculating the reflections so add another quarter of the time required for flat scenes. Add camera movement, motion blur, and depth of field and you need exponentially more processing time for every frame. The preload of renders into RAM is one of the cooler features of Motion, as comapred to After Effects, but that takes tons of time, to.
    Try working in ye olde DV resolution for a few days. Get to know the software's limitations and what gets imposed by your Macintosh. Step up to 720p/30 and see how things slow down.

  • Matrix Style title effects

    Does anyone know how to get a matrix style title effect and whether it can be done in Livetype or Motion, or is there a good plug-in for it?

    There's no accounting for taste. The first Matrix was great. The other two...just showing off...story severely lacking.
    But I have to agree with Randy...BATTLEFIELD EARTH was truly a pile. As was BATMAN & ROBIN with The Gubernator Arnold.
    But are we going to turn this into a thread of what was the worse movie ever made? Hmmmm....
