Button to show images side-by-side missing from Photoshop CS6 toolbar

In Photoshop CS6, a very important button is missing from the toolbar — the one to show two images side-by-side or above-and-below, and multiple images in other arrangements. I need this button — it’s an important part of my. (BTW, the button is still in Illustrator CS6.)

I'm not seeing that, and I can't agree with your assessment. In using it all day every day since the public beta was made available, Ps CS6 has clearly improved my ability to go from raw file to finished product more quickly and reliably, and with better results at the end. It's not THAT hard to re-learn where to find the window arrangement functions - give it a week. Positionally the menu is almost in the same place the button used to be.

Crop Tool Missing From Photoshop CS6 Toolbar

I am trying to use the crop tool but it appears to be missing from the toolbar on the left. I have Photoshop CS6 and I simply can't work out how to find the tool. Can someone help me out please?

Is it hidden behind the Slice tool? Any tools with a little triangle in the bottom right corner, have move tools behind them.
You could use the keyboard short cut 'c', but if the Crop tool is hidden, keep pressing Shift c until you see it.

What is missing from Photoshop CS6 ???

     I tried the new PhotoShop CS6 (beta) but aside from some innovations of which my favorite is the interface (The interface is one of the best innovation that Adobe have made finally an interface that does not make you eyes hurt) and content aware move tool (content aware is definitely the best technology in Photoshop, may in the future in Photoshop CS20 will be voice-activated and will do exactly what you say even to draw for you) and maybe the new brushis, nothing that new, especially for those who draw in Photoshop concept artists, Ilustrators and so on ... etc
      In my opinion what is missing from the famous Photoshop CS 6 and should have been is :
     1 : Live symmetry drawing (horizontal and vertical) even the simplest programs like Alchemy / Sketchbook Pro and new Painter 12 has the function they have gone beyond the horizontal and vertical with the function of Kaleidoscope. I really like how the brush works in Alchemy especially in symmetry, in Sketchbook Pro are not so good in symmetry, unless thei are round but if you have a strange shapes thei tend to function as a parallel very strange but it is ther why the famous Photoshop does not have this function ??? I hoped that in PS CS6 (beta) to be, but no, I do hope maybe in the CS7 will be,
     2: I would like to make several sets of brushes, but in different windows on the screen at the same time not only a big one something like Corel Painter 12
     3: If you put a 3d function why do you tried to do something like the Google SketchUP fast, simple to use and easy to learn, or a simplified version of ZBrush sculpture in 3d clay ???
     Ok now let's talk about Bridge CS6: same functions, nothing so new, I hope that in the cs6 to implement something like the function of ACDSee Photo Manager 12 for example:
     Preview Thumbnails in a files, shortcuts that can be modified, such as double click I want to open fullscreen preview not send in photoshop or Camera Raw etc, why not the same as Photoshop, to make what I want to what I want, preview window to have the option of framing the image even if it is small or large (fit image, reduce or enlarge) the same for full screen mode the image will be framed by the edges of the screen (fit image height or widthand reduce or enlarge) from there if you want 100%, 200% etc. and many others
     What is right, there are many other features that I like and love in Bridge much more than ACDSee 12 such as preview multiple images at the same time in preview window and Review Mode (one of my favorite) and many others but ...   ... What was more important to me I said maybe for someone else is something else missing ...

…Why on earth would you want to restrict Photoshop?…
Because I may consider it to be bloated already?
Because I don't need to be driving around in a motor home when my car fills my needs?
Because I don't need a hammer that doubles as a screwdriver or water-heater when I need to drive a nail?
Because a scalpel may be more useful for my purposes than a Swiss-army knife?
Because I would prefer the engineering team to work on refining existing features and improving stability rather than add features that are better served in drawing and painting applications?
Because I'm not particularly impressed by some of the new "features"?
Because I would prefer to see improvements to the History panel as have been suggested and requested over the years?
I could think of many more such reasons why.

Duh! Precisely!
Software bloat adds to the cost of developing and maintaining an application, delays the release of bug fixes and genuine improvements of existing features and eventually demands greater hardware resources.
I have no clue as to what the he!! your "Prime Minister" quote is supposed to mean in the context of this discussion, unless you're implying that you feel like a 21-year-old whippersnapper who knows everything. From your avatar picture you look younger than I am. Besides, I know of very few "prime ministers" who are, were or have been particularly knowledgeable about "everything", so that may not even be a requirement for the job.

What version of Bridge and Photoshop and what platform? Mac or Windows? I can point you to a downloadable installer.
If the cdrom was damaged, it may be the problem.
You would uninstall and use the CC/CS Cleaner to remove any remnants before reinstalling.

Why is the Insert Panel Missing from Dw CS6 Build 12 v 5861?

Why is the Insert Panel Missing from Dw CS6 Build 12 v 5861?

If Nancy's advice doesn't make it pop up as a window, you may have it set as a tool bar, in which case, hitting Ctrl+F2 will make the tool bar appear/disappear.
To turn it back into a floating panel, click and drag the dashed line on the far left of the Insert tool bar and pull it away from the top. You can leave it as free floating or drag it to another edge until it highlights the edge and drop it to dock it to whichever side of the screen you prefer.

Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer ejects 3.8 in of a 4X6 paper and prints only 2.2 in of the image printing from Photoshop CS6, I'm sure I set everything correctly - what could I be missing?

Using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6.
Have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up yesterday. First thing printed was a
document from MS Word (a letter) 8.5 X 11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up
Photoshop and open a 4 X 6 inch image to do a test print. I set it up in the print dialog as
4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop
manages the color. I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print. Now, when
it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and starts printing
on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out. It does this in Photoshop (any image it doesn't
matter), and it does it printing from Capture NX. I have been able to get it to print on the paper
correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on
the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting
I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either.
I want to be able to print from Photoshop. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same
problem? Thanks JamesD!

Hello again. I recognize that a print is good if you like it and bad if you don't, despite what others might say, but I will at least share my experiences. They might help you or others who are following this thread.
My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3. Gamma 2.2, 6500K, 83 cd/m^2. Contrast at 50%; brightness about 52%. My monitor lets me choose blackness level - it defaults to 50%.
When I print the test image I linked to above, using Lightroom, with no adjustments, my technical output is as follows:
Middle step wedge shows twelve disticnt steps. Whitest step is color of unprinted paper.
It varies from paper to paper, but I can discerne at least the 252 step and on some papers 253 - telling me I have good highlight detail.
On the black side I discerne 8 or 10, nothing lower. (That sounds like what you are reporting).
Artistically I am very happy how my print looks - nice red strawberries, good flesh tones, etc.
One my monitor, the on-screen image is almost identical to the print. I am surprised that you can see the 2 wedge step on screen at a very similar brightness.
I also checked out this B&W test image:
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/bw_printing/bw-test-image-2.html
You are probably aware of this since you are printing with Print Studio Pro, but others may not be.
You can print a series of test images:
find the one that best suits your taste, enter the calibration values in PSP, and save them as a custom setting. Then, each time you want to print recall the setting.
You can do a similar thing in Lightroom using the printer driver and User Templates.
There would be some one-time trial and error to that approach.

"show in itunes store" command missing from video library

updated to itunes 11.1, and ios7.
This isn't a pro or con diatribe, just a list of the minorish bugs that i have noticed:
First (probable?) bug:
With the latest update, the (control click) "show in itunes store" command is missing from all video layouts (unwatched, shows, genres) except "list".
I assume this is just a temporary bug, as it limits easy access to purchasable store content.
This is especially important since "check for available downloads", while still around, has been, as far as i can tell, completely nonfunctional for months.
I now have all my email notifications for passes turned on, and just manually click on the emails to download new content.
However, especially for shows with extra content, sometimes the email doesn't download the actual show, just the extra content.
for this reason, and for non pass shows, and just for general shopping and impulse buys, I liked to use the "show in itunes store" to easily check shows that i am currently interested in.
except that now it is gone.
Another (probable) bug:
I have a lot of purchased content, so i have the cloud turned off to control the flow of menu information. i don't need to see everything i have purchased all the time, only the newest shows that i actually have loaded onto the ipad. I still just load in the shows i want to watch from my main computer after i have downloaded them from apple to the hard drive, which i guess is now a bit old fashioned. ios7 doesn't seem to like this very much, as it initially displays the cloud content when opening the "video" app, before blanking and replacing it with the edited down version. But the real bug is this:
Now when i delete a video on the ipad, it crashes the "video" app.
And, instead of recognizing the delete when i sync to the computer, it ignores it and reloads the video onto the ipad.
......And finally:
There is still a tendency for the ipad and itunes to throw up the "sign in" pop up, often multiple times in a row, anywhere and for no reason, even when i am already signed in. Sometimes i can just hit "cancel" and it disappears, other times it forces me to retype my password. It's gotten a lot better and less frequent than when it first started earlier this year, but it's still around.
Having said this, I'm still, of course, a huge fan of the change earlier this year that keeps track of purchases and allows me redownload, instead of the old "lose it and its gone, tough luck" policy.

Ha. Maybe it's just me then. When i control click on a show, i'm getting:
In Library/TV Shows: Unwatched, Shows, and Genres:
play "[show]"
mark as watched
mark as unwatched
[depending on blue dot]
get info
rating
show description
show in finder
reset plays
show in playlist
copy
as opposed to, in List (and everywhere else):
play "[show]"
mark as watched
mark as unwatched
[depending on blue dot]
get info
rating
show description
show in finder
show in itunes store
get album artwork
reset plays
consolidate files
new playlist from selection
add to playlist
show in playlist
copy
delete
uncheck selection
apply sort field
I have my sidebar turned on, but it doesn't seem to make a difference if it is showing or not.
I looked around in settings, view, and window for a way to modify the control click menu, but couldn't find anything.
It's a very minor issue.
If your menu is working, maybe I just need to delete my copy of itunes and reinstall. Or change a setting somewhere.

The button to open a new tab is missing from each tab in Firefox 7

I have Win 7 and Firefox 7 on my PC. I used to have the + to open a new tab on the right end of the open tab. That is gone now, though when I loaded Firefox 7 on my PC at work (Win XP) it had the = on the tab, before it crashed and would not open again. I have to run 3.16(?) on that computer.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.<br />

My Back arrow is missing from my Firefox toolbar and I can't find another way to go back. How can I get it back?

My "Back" arrow disappeared from my Firefox toolbar and I can't find a way to go back to a previous page. How can I get it back on?

Hey kayo410,
Sounds like they might have accidentally been removed from the toolbar. The toolbar can be customized pretty extensively, so it's not an uncommon mistake. Take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]. It will show you how to restore the buttons.
Hopefully this helps!

Screen mode with floating windows missing in Photoshop cs6?

Hi,
How can I show two images open in Photoshop CS6 - next to each other?
Going through the screen modes by pressing F like in Photoshop CS5 doesn't get me there. That screen mode with the floating windows seems to be missing.
I need it for comparisions and for dragging layers between the two images.
Is the floating window screen mode achievable in CS6 or how else can I put two opened images next to each other on Photoshop's workspace?
Thanks!

Thanks!
It's so amusing: you get a new version of Photoshop and one of your well-known features is not where it used to be. Immediately an ancient fear takes over that the feature might have gone away.
Which is, of course, never happening. There's even "sharpen" and "sharpen more" available in Photoshop.
Bottom line: the new way of doing things are actually even better. You just need to pull the images off their tabs.

Indesign Missing from Bridge CS6 Tools Menu

I'm using CS6 and indesign is missing from my tools menu. I checked startup scripts in preferences and it is checked. I tried unchecking it and restarting it then rechecking it and I also tried resetting my preferences when starting bridge. Running OSX 10.8.5 and Bridge 5.0.0.39
P.S. I feel like this should be an easy fix and an easy thing to search for but I've searched extensively and the only thing I've found is the question asked occasionally. I've not found anything for CS6 and I've not found a solution.

Yes. I ended up solving this on my own but I did want to revisit it for anyone else who finds this message. I can't believe it had been that long since I'd generated a conatct sheet like this but, for what it's worth, this change is not for the better. Previously you were able to use the tools in indesign to control the quality and file size of the final pdf. The new way of doing it is certainly faster but it gives much less control and I ended up with a 50mb contact sheet when presenting around 150 images
Anyway, this is how you do it in later versions of CS http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS42C3020A-DAD1-4f92-8014-012263F3A51D.
Also, the reason Indesign and After Effects were greyed out when I was trying to use the place command is because I wasn't trying to place a single image I was trying to make a contact sheet. Meaning I had multiple images selected. You can only place one image at a time so the place command is greyed out.

Tools Panel missing in Photoshop CS6 for Mac

I have been using Photoshop CS6 for Mac for about 6 mths. now. When I opened it yesterday to work on some photos, I noticed that my tools panel that is always located on the left side of my screen had disappeared. I have been unable to locate it anywhere. Also, the top of my photoshop page looks different. Any assistance that I could get would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Media Encoder CS6 completely missing from Mastercollection CS6

Computer Environment:
MacBook Pro Early 2011
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256 MB
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
SSD with 512GB; about 81GB are still free
Mavericks OS X 10.9.5
Adobe Mastercollection CS6
Quicktime Player (Standard)
Problem:
I am currently missing the sidekick Adobe Media Encoder (AME), even though I succesfully can run After Effects and Premier Pro.
I cannot locate the AME app anywhere on my hard drive to launch it manually.
Steps/general information:
I initially was able to run AME, after fixing another problem with launching it by deleting the ExportQuickTimeHost.bundle / QuicktTimeHost.bundle as I have described in another post (https://forums.adobe.com/message/7221143#7221143 – #26 is my post).
Unfortunately, the presets for Quicktime (I needed prores) were missing, even after I have done a workaround, by copying prores-codecs into AME plugins, as described in this post: martin-thoburn.com » Install the Apple ProRES codec without Final Cut or ProApps
The next time launching QuickTime, I was not able to open it again.
I uninstalled, reinstalled and updated After Effects and Premier Pro three times now and took away the QuickTimeHost.bundle from AME and Premiere Pro
I also tried resetting ACL (through Utilities, when starting the MacBook with option key pressed down) as suggested by Seth Goldin in the post https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1010136
I already tried wiping down the whole Adobe Suite, using the Cloud Cleaner Tool, delete the presets in the user library and then reinstall the apps: Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Acrobat, After Effects and Premiere Pro. There is now only the CS6 (and not for example some CC apps) on my Computer. All apps are up to date.
I didn't install any other codecs by accident.
Since AME was again not launching (Splash screen wasn't showing me any plugins, AME could have loaded). I simply deleted AME by trashing it.
Now it's completely gone, even after reinstalling (and launching) After Effects and Premier Pro.
By trying to install AME's updates (6.0.1 and 6.0.2) I naturally get an error message, since the main app is missing.
I have battled with AME about half a year now, so things like reinstalling Lion and then Mavericks has occurred before as well.
And unfortunately, I am in the middle of a big project, which is due in a month and two days. Hope the links are not too confusing
– please look through them though, as the solutions I tried out are very clearly written in those posts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update in chronological order:
I uninstalled the Cloud, which I kept for making updates; I also uninstalled everything from Adobe (CS6 mastercollection)
I ran the Cloud cleaner tool
I reinstalled only Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Premier Pro, After Effects and Acrobat. Bridge and AME were installed as sidekicks of Photoshop and AE/PP.
So this has solved problem 1 already.
On to problem 2 (update only):
updated all adobe software, incl. DynamicLinkMediaServerRetail-1.0.1-mul-AdobeUpdate
I installed Final Cut Pro 7
I (re)installed Quicktime 7.6.6*
I downloaded the Prores Presets for AME (as you suggested in post #2)
I tried opening AME – that did not work, as it hung on the ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle
Went to AME app, right clicked on app icon to get "Show package content">Contents>Plug-Ins>Common and deleted ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle and ImporterQuickTimeHost.bundle
repeated last step with Premiere Pro and AE
I opened AE
I tried importing the presets through AME>import>presets... That did not work. I get this pop-up message:
restarted my computer
tried again to import AME without luck
tried the solution of this discussion Re: Quicktime Export options are missing (only in AME) (post #8)
since I noticed that mine was changed back after the reinstallation. No luck.
restarted the computer again. No luck.
Put back only the ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle into AME's package content
tried to open AME without luck
removed the Quicktimebundle once more to open AME (worked)
opened PP to check if I could export in queue: AME does not open by itself, still.
I tried opening a prores file (end as .mov) that I encoded at university (not on my provate computer) – did not worl
I checked if I could open a mov-file which was not encoded to prores: that worked.
I looked into Martin Thoburn's method again to try one more time in AME to find the settings "Quicktime". No luck.
I also have a third problem that may be linked to this, since it also has to do with PP and AE:
Re: Can anyone help? "DynamicLink" not available attempting to open Mov in Photoshop CS6
My post there is #22.
But now that I absolutely made sure that I do have the prores codecs,
I strongly suspect that it may also be a problem, which is discussed here:
Are the ProRes codec and .MOV file no longer supported?
...namely, that the codecs are just not visible. Unfortunately, this discussion is not resolved either.
HarleyTDavis's post #30 of this discussion Are the ProRes codec and .MOV file no longer supported?
suggests something complicated (because I yet would need another Adobe version), which I may try at some point.
Alright. That is all the effort that I can afford in time for this. I am too exhausted to go on so I'll do a workaround in FCP
– now that I got it – and will ask someone else to encode my outcome to a prores-Version.
If I feel like it – and yeah, I'd rather work with the Adobe Suite CS6 mostly – I'll come back to this discussion after a having clean wiped my computer and reinstalled everything.
Thanks to both of you for looking into this with me. I'm positive this can be solved – just not now.

3D Cube Mesh Preset missing in Photoshop CS6 Extended?

I only see the Cube Wrap, which puts the same texture on all faces. I want to have a different image on each face, and the Cube Preset in CS5 lets me do that.
Am I missing something in CS6?

Both the CS5 and CS6 v13.0.1 "Cube" models have problems.
The CS5 cube has good geometry with no gaps between faces, but the left and right faces have U and V directions swapped, which results in their textures being rotated by 90 degrees.
Faces except the right are initialised with an empty 512 x 512 pixel texture but the right face texture has the size of the main document, which very often will not be square and results in that texture being stretched on the square face of the model.
The model is presented with back face toward the camera when the 3D layer is created.
The CS6 v13.0.1 cube has good UV mapping, but the front face of the model is misaligned, which results in edge gaps being rendered as lines.
Faces except the front are initialised with an empty 512 x 512 pixel texture but the front face texture has the size of the main document, which very often will not be square and results in that texture being stretched on the square face of the model.
At least it is presented with front face toward the camera when the 3D layer is created.
It's astounding that in v13.0.1 that something as simple as a cube model is still botched. There really must be a shameful deficit of software testing at Adobe Photoshop.
