Can I use ACR tools in an image already opened in PS5?

If I have opened a RAW image in PS5.5 and it has several layers already modifying the file, can I convert the bottom layer to a smart object and then use ACR tools like de-fringing, etc.? I notice flaws in the image that would be corrected that way, and I don't want to start from scratch. I am able to make the layer a smart object. I don't know how to invoke the ACR tools.
This image arrived from Lightroom with "no Lightroom effects" chosen at transfer, if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance, folks.

If you open a RAW file through lightroom there may be a way have Photoshop open it as a smart Object I do no know I do not use Lightroom. If you open the Raw file through the Bridge or Photoshop in ACR which is a Photoshop plug-in ACR can open it as a Smart Object layer in Photoshop where the embedded object is a copy of the RAW file and Adobe RAW conversion engine settings. Embedded object can be reopened. If the embeded is a RAW File it will open in ACR. If the embedded object is a Tiff or Jpeg file it can be openned in ACR or Phptoshop. If the embedded object is a raster layer or a grout pf layers that have been converted into a smart object these smart object can be opened in Photoshop. When a Smart Obkect is reopen in ACR or Photoshop it opens as a temporay work document the when changes are made and committen by ACR or Photoshop the original reopened smart object will be upstare with the changes made to the work document .
If you open the RAW file through Lightroom or ACR into Phoroshop as a RGB image a background layer its a raster layer converted to a smart opject it would not open in ACR. However there is a Photoshop Script you can Download from Russell Brows web site that you could run with the Background Layer the active Photoshop target. The Script would save the Active layer as a Tiff file and then Place the tiff file into the current document as a smart object layer where the active layer is. This Placed Smart Object layer contains a copy of a tiff file that was saved using the active layer after the place operation the Tiff file and the old active(ie background image) layer are deleted. If your ACR preferences are set to open Tiff files doubling click on the smart object icon in that layer in the layers palette will open the Tiff in ACR.

Can't use text tool

I can't use text tool. Text is invisible. I tried all colors fonts and settings. Help me pls

The usual answer is that you have a huge document with a 72dpi resolution, and Type is set to points.
To test this go Preferences > Units & Rulers and set Type to mm (the default is points)
Now open the Image size dialog, turn off Resample and set the resolution to 300dpi
Now create some more text. If you still can't see anything, come back and we'll try something else.
Note: if your document size is _really_ huge, like 30,000 pixels, then that's the problem all by itself.

Using selection tool to Cut image into pieces...

Hi all,
I was just experimenting with my Painter image editing software in my computer, and I just thought about an effect that I performed in my Painter software.
Actually, what I did is best show in images attached here. Please use them as a guide to my questions.
In Painter, I used the selection tool to seperate parts of my image as seen in my attached image. I just wonder whether one can do the same thing in after effects too.
Thanks and hope to here your responses to my question.

Ok. Thanks for your great tips as I'll see where I can go from here.

Like Steve said, you'll have to use masks. To keep it clean and predictable, draw all your masks as needed, then duplicate the layer (Ctrl+D). then delete the masks on a given layer that you don't need. What is to become the background with "holes" also will need the mask modes to be set from the default Add to Subtract. Once you have everything, you may wish to use the pan behind tool (Y) to move the layer anchor points into the centers of the masked shapes, so animation becomes a bit more predictable.

I am using NOTE 3 SM-9005. Whenever I use the blur tool, the loading wheel pops up and never stops loading. I am forced to close the app and I can't use that tool. Anyways to solve it? Thanks!

I am forced to close the app and I can't use that tool or the same thing happens. Anyways to solve it? Thanks!

Hi Ignacio,
I am currently using version 1.2.1.
I just tried it with a smaller project and the loading wheel did not appear but the brush seemed to have lagged on the screen. It returned to normal after about 20 seconds.
Yes, I have used all tools and this is the only tool that makes it happen.
Thanks.

As I update IOS5 I can't use those apps which I have already buy before.

As I update IOS5 I can't use those apps which I have already buy before.They are still here but just can't open as I try to click in the app it will jump back to the main menu.How can I solve this problem???Please help!!

Make sure the iPad fully synced back up to your computer after the installation. The apps were removed as part of installing 5.0, and should be restored back to it as you finish. Connect the iPad to your computer that you backed up to, and sync it again. If they don't come back, go to the Apps page (click on your iPad under Devices, then Apps) and click the ones you want to sync. You could also restore to the backup you made right before the update.

How can i use gradient tool in Illustrator

Hello,
I am trying to use gradient tool in illustrator.
My image is active but how can i start using gradient tool.
I clicked the tool and tried to drag with my mouse but, i can not activate the tool itself.
Can any one help me, I am using CS4 extended with Mac.
Thank you very much.
Steve

First in order to use the gradient tool you must have a gradient fill applied to an object not an raster image it can be a vector illustration..
Select the object or objects or groups of objects
Now click on the gradient bar in the Gradient Panel while the object(s) are still selected that will fill the object with the default gradient.
You can also use a gradient swatch in the Swatches panel, you can make a gradient swatch as well.
Now your object(s) is filled with the default gradient fill.
Now in the tool panel select the gradient tool this will allow you to control the way the gradient is oriented and applied to the object.
Now you can change the colors and add colors to you gradient by clicking on the color markers below the gradient bar which will bring up the color or swatches panels.
Now finally and this is the most important factor to consider you have to purchase a book and or tutorials and the book that will probably do you the most good at this stage is Mordy Golding's Real World Illustrator CS 4 this you shoud do before you go any further. Honest.

Can't use some tools in Ps cs6 trial

I downloaded the Photoshop cs6 trial yesterday, and it worked fine. Today, however, I can't choose colors or draw shapes. I keep getting the message "Could not use [insert tool name] because of program error." What can I do to fix this? Am I allowed to uninstall, re-download, and re-install the trial version if I have already done so (today is only day 2 since I downloaded it)?

Welcome to the forum.
With the trail, I would NOT uninstall it.
As for the issues with some Tools, can you please tell us first, exactly what you are working with? A screen-cap of your GUI, with the Open Image (or New Image) showing, plus the Layers Panel open, would be very useful. Also, including the Options Panel for one of the problem Tools, might give clues.
Next, let us know exactly what you wish to do, and how you are going about it. The more detail, the better.
It is probably something simple, and something that is easily handled. If not, then you might also gather the details of your computer, as that info might be useful in the next step.
Good luck,
Hunt

Offline updates mechanism: how many times can you use it before corrupting the image(wim)?

Hi,
As title mentions: "how many times can you use sccm 2012 offline updates for the wim file before corrupting the image(wim)"?

In my experience the offline servicing feature is only OK and too unreliable for production.

How can I use external CSS, JavaScript and Images in PeopleSoft Portal?

I am developing a website and I need to put my CSS, JavaScript and IMG files in a folder on the server that can be used by my HTML objects.
Where should I put the images? How do I get the HTML objects can read these images?
I've tried several things like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<%=psCtxPath%><%=psHome%>\MyStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="\portal\MyStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="\ps\images\portal_pa\MyStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Hi Jim!
Yes, I am using the HTML Object Application Designer. Below is my HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Portal</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<script language='javascript' src='/jscript/MyJavaScript.js'></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/MyStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" rightmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<img src="/images/MyLogo.jpg"/>
</body>
</html>
But, the portal is not reading my css, js and images.

What can I used instead of the old image extractor in elements 12?

Since image extractor is not available in elements 12, what can I used instead?

If you are on WINDOWS, you can put Color Variations into PSEv.12. See here:
Pse12 color variation function removed - Elements Village
Hopefully, you still have access to PSEv.6.

Can't use any tool that requires 'mouseDown'

Hi,
Using Photoshop CS6 on Win7 64bit on a brand new machine with 'more than average' specs, I seem to be unable to use any tool that requires me to hold my left mouse button. Meaning;
- I can't make selections using any marquee tool
- I can't draw using brushes
- I can't draw shapes (I immediatly get the 'Create rectangle' popup, as if I released my mouse button)
- etc
Furthermore, I can't reverse the zoom direction by holding Alt.
I've reset my preferences to the factory default by deleting Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs.psp from the usersettings, this does not seem to solve the problem. I've seen several posts on similar issues, where answers suggest this might be caused by a sticky spacebar; as you can see in this post, this is not the case .
There is an exception to the above; sometimes (not always) I can selections on a fresh start of Photoshop. This ability is lost as soon as I use any other tool.
Does anyone knows a possible cause of this problem? As you might understand, Photoshop is pretty useless this way...
[edit]
As this might arise as a question: it doesn't seem as if another application 'steals focus', as I can always select other tools by using their shortcuts; that would not be possible if PS wouldn't have focus.
[/edit]

Found the issue is even bigger: if I open the marquee menu as shown below by single-right-clicking the marquee tool, I can't left-click any of the shown tools.
(and please don't ask which program I used to create this screenshot cut out; it's not PhotoShop, as I can't make a selection )

Can't use selection tool, hand keeps coming up

What is going on, when I go to use selection tool the hand tool is coming up and I can't change or work! What is going on?
Both in Adobe Ilustrator CC and CS6. any one else having this issue.
I am getting behind on a project, help!
thanks so much in advance!

visualsolutions,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Can't use ACR negative clarity

After reinstalling photoshop CS3 and downloading and installing ACR 4.3.1 I can no longer use the clarity slider for negative clarity in Camera Raw. In other words, zero is on the far left rather than in the middle as it used to be. Also, when I open previously processed (that is, before reinstalling Photoshop) Raw files the settings I used have not been preserved, ACR shows only the defaults. Does anybody know how to fix this? I'm running Windows 7, camera is Olympus E-510. I'm not sure what version of ACR I was using previously. Thanks for your help,

If I remember correctly the last ACR for CS3 was 4.6. Try updating to last version for CS3..

HT4718 after upgrading to Mavericks, i can't use Pro Tools ***

after upgrading to Mavericks, i can't use my pro tools, and none of my iTunes files are there. what the ****? I want to revert back to snow leopard.
PLEASE ADVISE!!!! I'm in a panic!!
I was very happy with Snow Leopard, and then I tried to get an app to design my Christmas cards. The computer told me, i had to upgrade to Mavericks to use it.
Now everything is a complete disaster!

I was not prompted to make a clone, so i dont have one. I downloaded an upgrade of pro tools that is alleged to work with mavericks, but it does not.
I can't find any of my music files, iTunes downloads, documents, etc... But, all the software i purchased to work within pro tools is there. Im so confused.
Im PC, i have never downloaded an upgrade that made all my files disappear. This is totally unacceptable.
