Can't scale effects with image resize in Photoshop CC, why?

I'm trying to resize an image, size it down from the 600ppi I work in
to a preview 300ppi size. But I can't get any option to resize the layer
effects to work. In that little cog, in the top right, there is a menu
item Scale Effects, but it is always greyed out and unselectable.
I've tried just scaling it in different ways, percentages, the actual
size rather then the ppi. No luck. Anyone know why?
I'm desperate to get this file (which has a tonne of layer comps in it) to print.
Thanks!

Adobe hid the option in its new dialog making it inconvenient you have no idea of how it is currently set till you click on the gear to see the status of the check-mark.

Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

We relied upon the "days available for download" to get people to take
action more quickly. The "virus scanning" progress bar was simply another
way of knowing this activity was actually taking place - unless this is
written somewhere in the Adobe Send User Guide.....wherever that is.

PSE newbie frustrated, please help with image resizing

Hi!
Tutorials aren't helping me, nor is trial and error. I just want to resize some photos I downloaded to my computer, then upload them to a website to use as my avatar or signature. There are specific pixel dimensions I must adhere to. I want to keep the photo in it's entirety, but when I resize it, it distorts a bit, looks fuzzy...
I can't figure out what the heck I am doing wrong. Some pictures turn out just fine and others look really bad. I know it can be done because I've seen the same pictures I'm trying to size, being used for the same thing I want to use them for, but theirs are clear, absolutely no distortion whatsoever. The pixel dimensions I have to work with are either 100x100, or 450 pixels wide by 90 pixels high.
I hope this made sense, I'm not sure how else to word it. Please forgive my ignorance, I've really been trying.
Thank-you
B

For an avatar it’s possibly best to crop to begin with so you get a true square.
Open the image and select the crop tool and change the aspect ratio to 1 x 1 or 5 x 5 then drag out a square and move the image around inside it or drag the bounding box borders until you have it looking as you want. Then click the green check mark.
On the top menu click Image > Resize > Image Size and in either the height or width box type 100 px (you only need to type the dimension once the other box will change to 100 automatically. Make sure you have the bottom three boxes checked:
Scale Styles
Constrain Proportions
Resample Image
With all three checked set the bottom dropdown to Bicubic and then hit OK.
If you want to apply some sharpening select Enhance on the top menu and choose Unsharp Mask.
Make sure the Radius is no more than 1.5 and use the amount slider to get the image looking as you want it then save.

[CS3][JS] Help with image resizing

I'm still a newbie of ID scripting.
I'm using js scripting in Indesign CS3 to make an auto-impaginator and I have a problem with images.
I charged my contents from an xml set of tables, that I put into a fixed textFrame of the master page.
Because of the table needs to fill multiple pages, I made a function that keep creating pages and link the textFrames so that the table continues in various pages.
In this whole process I have some images too, that I need to resize them to fill the cell, because now they pass the parent cell.
I found a method that looks at the bounds and resizes the image and the rectangle too, but it doesn't work always, because if a image is overflowing, it hasn't any bound and it fails, and this causes other problems in my process, so I would find another method.
So:
Is there another way to resize an image on-the-way while importing it? Some xml attribute or preference?
Or some method that works also if the image is overflowing?

These forums are pointless. Adobe must believe that other users will cut the mustard. Absolutely a waste of effort for everyone. Adobe should PAY at least a junior developer involved in the projects to monitor and help with these posts. FLEX rules yeah and thousands more do scripting than develop plug ins...
Come on Adobe, step up your better than this. Customer Service can be free to the customers ... we are not talking about GET IT ALL FREE, talking about buy it and create a community and support it, but then again LAYERS and INDESIGN SECRETS have people who actually want to help users rather than rabbit hole everything.
Please join hands and SING...

Permissions issue with image resize

Ok I'm hoping someone may be able to help with this because it is really frustrating.
I realise this issue has already been posted in these forums however there was no solution offered that has rectified it for me. I am getting an error when trying to display thumbnails "Error converting image (create thumbnail). The "" folder has no write permissions". And this error when trying to upload and resize images "Image upload error. Error resizing image: Error converting image (image resize). The "" folder has no write permissions. (IMG_RESIZE)". All folders on server have full read, write and execute permissions, so I am really confused why this happenning. I have removed and updated the includes folder on the server with no joy. I altered the tNG_custom.class.php, tNG_insert.class.php, tNG_update.class.php files to remove the tNG_fields line to just tNG as this was throwing errors with PHP5.3. I also changed everything else per http://forums.adobe.com/message/2357443#2357443.
This is the tNG execution trace (why the tNGUNKNOWN??):-

And is causing the following php warnings when executed:-

Is it the preg_split() that is causing the issues here??
Any Ideas?

Hello BoarderLineLtd
I have noticed that on some servers when you upload the first image to the images folder using the ADDT image upload function the thumbnail directory that gets written to the images directory is written but the permissions are not set.
If you use an FTP program such as CuteFTP or WSFTP to login to your web site you can manually set the permissions for the thumbnail directory.
This should eliminate the permissions error.

Avoiding pixelation with image resizing

i just redesigned my site (with a ton of help from many people on this forum--thank you nancy riki osgood
Sudarshan!!)
i have my thumbnails resizing (using max width: 100%) in a gallery but on a large browser window like my 32" monitor they get pixelated when they scale up, particularly the text..
is there a way to start with a higher resolution image and display them at a smaller display size so when they scale up they stay crisp?
http://toddheymandirector.com/
go to REEL, MORE and NEWS
thanks..

Hello mate, Welcome back!
Ideally, I wouldn't do a 100% width for your images on the site for enlarging them. No matter what plug-in you use, you'll definitely end up pixelating the image at least to some extent.
However, if you're definitely looking at achieving this, try this: http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/project/aeImageResize
And, start with a higher resolution of the image. The plug-in will scale it down proportionately depending on the screen dimension you're displaying it on, rather the DIV dimension that holds the image inside.
Also, it is to be noted that usage of multiple jQuery will lead to a performance issue on your site. You should keep this in mind.
One last thing: having said that you should start with a higher image resolution, your load time for the site will considerably increase as the plug-in only scales down the image visually, it doesn't load differently sized images!
If I were you, I'll keep the thumbnail images to zoom in to one optimal size and then provide a link inside my fancybox/ lightbox to a much fuller, bigger size image - if someone is interested in seeing them/ downloading the big size image.

Can someone help me with Image Processor?

I select Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor and nothing happens. No dialogue box, no signs of thinking...nothing. Can someone help me troubleshoot? I'm running Mac OS X.
Thanks!

Nice job, MW Design!
By the way, though it won't be as nice as a completely redrawn image, such as what MW Design posted above, if time is of the essence the Photoshop CC 14.0 Image Size dialog can do a nice job - provided you choose the "Preserve Details (upsampling)" method, can often yield an upsampled image with reasonably crisp edges, that might be more usable than the small version.

Can I scan documents with Image Capture?

I can no longer scan documents with my HP printer now that I have Maverick. I can scan pics with Image Capture. Is there any way to scan documents with image capture or with some other software?

Don't feel bad you are not alone. I have a HP photosmart C4780. Since upgrading to Mavericks it has been difficult to use the scan feature except via image scan. I spent well over a month on the HP forums trying to discern whether or not new drivers were being developed and essentially got the run around. Very crappy service from HP. I'll not purchase one of their products again. It appears that my all in one (which I brought through the Apple Store) is obsolete. Anyone got any advice. I'm contemplating seeing how many pieces it will shatter into upon being launched from my window.

Can't take pictures with Image Capture - Canon Camera

I can't take pictures using Image Capture using either my Canon Power Shot A710IS or my husband's SD600. I can download pictures with both cameras, but if I switch to shooting mode, Image Capture says "No Image Capture Device Connected." I know it worked with my PowerShot A75, but my *&%$ son broke it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Karen

I would call (800) 828-4040 Canon Tech Support. I have found them very helpful, and its easier than typing here

Problem with images opened in Photoshop CS 5

Hi, I have a problem with images that I open in Photoshop CS 5. F. ex. I opened
the following image:
The image appears with a purple color in Photoshop. If I hover over the image
with a tool like lasso, it temporarily regains it´s original color. The image mode is RGB Color, 8 Bits/Channel.
I resetted the start settings of Photoshop with the CTRL-Shift-Alt-combination, which had no effect.

The confusion arises from the imprecise error message in the Preferences > Performance dialog box, to wit:
OK, that seems to be open to misunderstanding indeed.
The video card: Citrix Systems Inc. Display Driver.
Could not find a list for CS6 specifically, but the card may fall short.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tested-video-cards-photoshop-cs5.html
If I invoke View > Proof Colors, the only thing that changes is that the text in the brackets
Also if you set View > Proof Setup to something different?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Noise/grainy problems with images exported into photoshop cc from lightroom after photoshop & lightroom updates

I can't figure it out. After updating photoshop from the c6 version to the newer cc, and after also an update to lightroom through my creative cloud app, all photos exported now from lightroom into photoshop are extremely noisy and poor quality. I have adjusting settings I thought to back where I had them, but the images still don't look right. Can you help me? Slammed with photos to edit for paid gigs! Panicking. These are raw files.

My interpretation of what the OP’s situation, that they are adjusting noise-reduction and sharpening to their liking in LR, the using Edit In PS (not Exporting despite using that word) into PS and what they see in PS is much nosier than what they saw in LR and are wondering why things look different between LR and PS.
My guess as to the problem is that they’re adjusting LR-Detail settings (Sharpness and NR) using Fit zoom instead of 1:1 zoom and then viewing the image in PS, perhaps at 1:1 zoom or even at Fit-to-Window zoom in PS, and that LR’s resampling and PS’s resampling of the image for fitting to the screen are a bit different and PS’s looks rougher.
Unless the OP is comparing LR and PS at 1:1 or 100% zoom, differences are to be expected.

Can I create a RAW image Sequence in Photoshop CS6?

Hello Photoshop Gurus,
I'm posting this because I've tried searching for an answer but I've only found one and it doesn't work for me. I'm trying to create a RAW image sequence in Photoshop CS6 on a mac. the box is greyed out. The only answer I've found is to disable jpeg support in preferences but that didn't work.
Just trying to create a timelapse from an image sequence without having to spend $20/month renting After Effects!
Thanks!

Do you have the Extended version of photoshop cs6?
(not sure if you need the extended version or not)

It might be that you need to convert the images to another file format such as tif.

Problem with image resize after canvas resize in CS6

In previous versions I have been able to resize the canvas and then resize the image. For example resize the canvas to 250px x 250 px. Then resize the image to the same.
Here is the process I am using:
Duplicate the layer and then hide it.
Resize the canvas (Image > Canvas Size) to 250px x 250 px.
Un-hide the layer and then resize the image (Image > Image Size). When I go into Image>Image Size it says that the image is already 250px x 250px. However if I try to transform the scale the image is the original size and not 250px x 250px
The reason for needing this is I resize image size (in bulk) and the canvas size using the batch process (file>automate>batch) and actions. I loaded the actions file I used in previous versions, but that did not work correctly. I then went in to do this manually and got the same results.
Any ideas??

Please post the Action set *.atn file and name of the action in the set.
What you wrote seems like normal operation.
Duplicate the layer and then hide it.
Resize the canvas (Image > Canvas Size) to 250px x 250 px.
Un-hide the layer and then resize the image (Image > Image Size). When I go into Image>Image Size it says that the image is already 250px x 250px. However if I try to transform the scale the image is the original size and not 250px x 250px
There is no reason to hide and unhide the layer.
When you change Canvas Size the only layer the may actually get changed is the "Background Layer" for the bankground layer does not suppoty tranparency so Pixels of some color will be added to the background layer if your increasing canvas size or Pixels will be cropped off the background layer if you decreasing canvas size. Canvas Size = Document Size = Image size. Canvas size change does not change the size of other layer. Only their position over the canvas may change. Layers other then the background layer can be any size. They can be the same size as the canvas size or they may be larger or smaler then the canvas size and they can have any aspect ratio and any shape. As you saw when you ise free transform on your layer.

Working with images – Resizing, Add arrow & text boxes etc

I am using RH HTML for updating our Web application Help from
RoboHelp V3 to V6. It involves lot of images. I found the picture
quality good only using Word in the combination of
RoboScreenCapture.
I need to confirm that the method and steps for capturing
images using Word & RoboScreenCapture will work reliably for
both WebHelp and Printable output in Word. Please review my
detailed steps as listed below and give me your suggestions.
Here are the detailed steps I took for each method:
Starting with Resize & RoboScreenCapture:
1. From our Web application I took the screenshot.
2. I pasted the screenshot in Resize tool and resized it.
3. Opened the RoboScreenCapture, went back to the Resize tool
and by using the Screen Capture Hot key - Cntrl+Shift+R, I captured
the region. The captured screen popped up in the RoboScreenCapture
tool.
4. I drew an arrow on the image and the text box and also
entered the text in the text box. Then I saved the image in the
RoboScreenCapture.
5. Opened up the RH Html. Opened up the Web Help project file
which I am updating and pasted an image in wysiwyg.
Result
The image was not very clear looking in wysiwyg.
In Paint:
1. From our Web application I took the screenshot.
2. I pasted the screenshot in Paint, stretch the image form
100% to 80%. The quality of the image reduced dramatically.
3. Opened the RoboScreenCapture, went back to the Paint and
by using the Screen Capture Hot key - Cntrl+Shift+R, I captured the
region. The captured screen popped up in the RoboScreenCapture
tool.
4. I drew an arrow on the image and the text box and entered
the text in the text box. Then I saved the image in
RoboScreenCapture.
5. Opened up RH Html. Opened up the Web Help project file
which I am updating and pasted an image in wysiwyg.
Result
The image was not very clear looking in wysiwyg.
Finally, with Word:
1. From our Web application I took the screenshot.
2. I pasted the screenshot in Word, resized it. While in Word
I can draw an arrow on the image and the text box and entered the
text in the text box.
3. Opened the RoboScreenCapture, went back to the Word and by
using the Screen Capture Hot key - Cntrl+Shift+R, I captured the
region. The captured image popped up in the RoboScreenCapture tool.
Then I saved the image in RoboScreenCapture.
4. Opened up RH Html. Opened up the Web Help project file
which I am updating and pasted an image in wysiwyg.
Result
Nice & Clear

There's a topic about this on my site that might interest
you.
I recently tried the Microsoft Fax and Image viewer (the
freebie with XP) and reduced the window size dramatically. With a
photographic image it was very good. A quick test suggests it might
be good with text as well.

I can't sign PDFs with images

Hello everyone,
I'm on a Mac OSX 10.8.5 and I am trying to follow these instructions: AMS Financial Aid Forms by Rachael Arestad on Prezi using Adobe Reader 11.0.10. However, there are a couple problems that come up.
1) I can't print the PDF as a PDF like the tutorial wants me to, I can only save. Why it wants me to print as PDF is beyond me.
2) If I try to add an image as a signature, Reader tells me to save a copy. Okay so I click save a copy, and I try again... and it tells me to save another copy! (ad infinitum)
What's happening here? Sorry if I come off as snarky, but this is a surreal and frustrating problem.

The author of the piece was, frankly, misinformed.
1. They say use Adobe Acrobat Reader. It hasn't been called that in over 10 years. It's Adobe Reader now. But this isn't important. But I mention it because the names of products are critical here.
2. They say to use the "Adobe PDF" printer. But this is not and never has been part of the free Adobe Reader. It is included in the product Adobe Acrobat ($$).
3. This option is no longer available on Mac OS even if you buy Acrobat.
Now, the save a copy thing. If you save a copy, you must save with a new name. THEN you must close the document you are working on and OPEN THE COPY.
