Clarification on question re: Photoshop 2.0

Sorry about that, but I omitted that I'm using Elements 2.0, rather than the real old and original Photoshop 2.0.
Again, please accept my apology.
I can't open it after not using it for a while. I get a message saying unable to connect to server for update, or something similar. After I retry 4 or 5 or 6 times, it finally opens.

Hi, Les. If Elements 2.0 is like other recent Adobe applications, it has a built-in software update function that (as a default setting) causes it to check with Adobe's web site for available updates each time it's opened, or perhaps the first time it's opened each day or week, etc. If it can't connect (because your computer isn't online at the time, or is never online, or Adobe's server doesn't respond, or whatever), it may keep trying the next time you open the application, or try repeatedly to make the connection before the program finally opens.
Once you get Elements open, open its Preferences window and look for an "Updates" pane or tab. There you may find an option to turn off automatic update checking or change its frequency. I'm not familiar with exactly what options are offered in Elements, so you may have to root around a bit to find the relevant setting.

Question about Photoshop scratch disk and specific setup

Hi Folks
Thanks for the help in advance.
I'm a novice and need help finding a solution to a new PC Build. (Windows 7 Pro 64bit with Photoshop CS6)
I only recently found out about having a scratch disk dedicated for photoshop (very novice i know ), and was wondering if a 120-128GB SSD would be enough? (Please bear in mind I can't fit large SSD raid configs to my budget, plus I live in New Zealand, so prices are higher for SSD at the moment).
I only edit single camera RAW files at a time around 25mb per file, with no large amount of layers and very rarely do large images i.e. Panorama etc. I have searched the forums but could not find a concrete answer.
My setup was originally meant for a HTPC (I don't intend to overclock), but I will also be using it for light photography projects. Specs below:
CPU: Intel i7 3770
Mobo: Asrock B75 Pro3-M (or Asus P8H77m Pro, depending on budget)
16gb Ram (maybe bump up to 32gb later)
120-128gb SSD for OS and apps
120-128gb SSD scratch disk
2 TB HDD for storage
If anyone knows, the motherboards I've listed have 3x Sata3 ports, Asrock has one Intel chip and two Asmedia controlled Sata3 ports, while Asus has 2x Intel controlled and 1x Marvell controlled Sata3 port. If I went with the Asrock, would it be okay to connect the OS/Apps SSD to the intel controlled sata3 port and have the scratch disk and storage HDD to the Asmedia sata3 ports?
And one more novice question, when I begin to edit my images, is it best to transfer my photos from memory card to storage HDD then work from there? Or would it be quicker opening images direct from a USB 3.0 card reader / USB 3.0 external hard drive?
Thanks again everyone, really appreciate it

Just to clarify, if/when I get one 256gb SSD for my main C: drive, I can load the OS/Apps and store some data for the time being (until I get another SSD) and use the 2TB HDD for scratch disk only?
Yes, that's what I meant. You could try putting Photoshop scratch on C: at least temporarily, and watch your free space carefully. If you don't work on big documents or set your history states to be very large, it might be workable. But be careful. The safe "set it and forget it" configuration is to make your HDD the one and only Photoshop scratch drive.
When I do get around to getting the second 256gb, I will look at installing the two SSD's in RAID configuration. If i were to do this, can I load the OS/Apps to the RAID SSD's as well as using them for scratch disks and have the 2TB HDD for storage? I hope that makes sense.
Sounds about right; with 512GB on tap you should be able to run just about everything from C:, as long as you don't keep your entire photo library on there. Realistically, on a big system that's got a lot of apps installed and has been used for some time, Windows and your apps may end up consuming 100 to 150 GB, so that would still leave you a lot of breathing room.
Keep in mind that what you describe may require 3rd party re-partitioning software and/or backup and restoral, or a complete reinstallation of Windows and everything (usually the latter is what is recommended when moving up to a RAID system volume).
By the way, SSDs stay in best working order if you overprovision - i.e., maintain a fair amount of free space. The internal controllers need the free space to keep the data organized well and maintain top performance.

Question on Photoshop Image Size Zoom & Crop

Hello Everyone...
I was wondering if anyone could help me out on a few questions w/ Image Size Zoom & Crop
I use to work at a studio that had their own small software for editing photos. It was setup so you take an image RAW and you could CROP by zooming. So I could take the image and SCROLL to ZOOM in and it cropped away the rest without actually pressing crop. Then you pick what sizes you want, 1 8x10, 2 5x7 and sheet of wallets and WALLLLLLA it prints them out on 3 sheets of paper.
My questions are:
Is there anyway to crop by zooming?
Is there anyway to keep the original size after cropping? Example most of my pics are 12M when I crop they go down to 2 or 3. Why? If I have a picture of 4 people and I want to crop to one persons face but keep the original image size why won't it do that without resizing??
It says that to get the best print quality it should be viewed at resolution 300 instead of 72? is that true? and why?
Is there a way to keep the quality at its best and then just select how many and what size I want to have print out? example of the 3 sizes listed above??
I hope my questions make a little sense.
Thanks for your help in advance

Cross platform upgrade question between Photoshop CS5/CS6 and multiple Windows/Mac computers

Hello,
I'm currently using a Windows laptop and PC running Photoshop CS5 from a Student license I got in college. I am considering moving to an Apple laptop so I was looking at the cross platform update question on the forum that led me here: Order product | Platform, language swap
It's not really clear if I will be eligible for the upgrade, and Adobe support chat sent me to the forum, and that page sends me back to where I started to see if I am eligible. I would prefer to purchase the upgrade outright, rather than pay for the new monthly subscription model.
If I am eligible for a swap/upgrade to Apple CS6, will I still be able to use CS5 on my Windows PC?
Thanks.

I don't have a definitive answer, but I have a feeling that a student teacher version is not eligible for an upgrade discount. You own the CS5 perpetual license, and can install it on two computers at the same time as CS6, CC etc. That will be the case in perpetuity. (not sure why I didn't just type 'forever' back there, or alert the cliche police 'Going forward')
Photoshop CS6 Extended will cost you just shy of US$1600 according to this Amazon page The non extended version does not give you the 3D tools, and Photoshop CC comes as the full extended version as standard. If you got the Photoshop / Lightroom Photography plan at a mere $10 a month, the price of CS6 would keep you subscribed for > three years. Photoshop CC has a lot of wonderful features CS6 does not have, and will never have, and CC will be be constantly updated 'in perpetuity'. ;-) $10 a month! Heck, what's not to like about that?!!!

Question from Photoshop User Wanting to Upgrade to Premier Pro

Hi - hoping someone can offer some advice here.
I am a professional aerial photographer, although that may be a misnomer, because all my work is about video (rather than stills). I've been using Photoshop (Creative Cloud package) for all my video editing for over a year, but find myself needing a few features that are only in Premier Pro.
My questions are:
Does Premier Pro use .psd files like PS? I would love to have a seamless transition and be able to pull up my exising .psd files which I created in PS, to allow me to do further editing, etc.
Any thoughts on changing over? Will this be a big step change? I don't really want to disrupt my operations too much. I fully realise these are open/subjective questions, but any opinions will be appreciated!
Can I still edit the occasional still photo? I'll probably purchase Premier Pro with a Creative Cloud package anyway, so does that come with the ability to edit stills?
Thanks,
Jacques

Pr Pro works very well with Photoshop. You can import psd files as separate layers, or merged together, or as a sequence with the layers stacked.
Does Premier Pro use .psd files like PS? I would love to have a seamless transition and be able to pull up my exising .psd files which I created in PS, to allow me to do further editing, etc.
Having both Pr and Ps to work with is a big plus. It may take some learning on your part, but I would think that will go fast. Besides, that's what we're here for, to help you.
Any thoughts on changing over? Will this be a big step change? I don't really want to disrupt my operations too much. I fully realise these are open/subjective questions, but any opinions will be appreciated!
The psd files can be opened for editing in Ps from within Pr. The saved edits then appear in Pr when you switch back
Can I still edit the occasional still photo? I'll probably purchase Premier Pro with a Creative Cloud package anyway, so does that come with the ability to edit stills?

Few questions about Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

I'm thinking of getting a DSLR camera in the summer, so (since I'm a geek) I want to make sure I've got all the software I'll need to edit the photos once I've taken them. The catch is that I graduate from university this year, so if I'm going to buy Photoshop (ie if I'm going to _afford_ Photoshop) I need to do so in the next couple of months to get the educational discount.
I've just got a few questions as to whether I actually need Photoshop CS4 for my situation:
*I already have Lightroom 2 (courtesy of Amazon Vine!) for processing RAW files, doing basic colour adjustment etc. Would I get £150 worth of extra usage from Photoshop CS4 compared to Lightroom?
*What DRM/copy protection does Photoshop CS4 use? Is it the same that's used in Lightroom 2 (hasn't given me any problems) or the Macrovision stuff that installs a background service (called something like 'Adobe LM monitor') on your computer?
*If I need to reactivate over the phone some time in the future (e.g. when I move to a new computer and I've already used the activations) do I still need to be a qualifying student?
Reckoned there wouldn't be a better place to ask these than PS forums :)

>then you just don't know enough about photoshop.
Actually, if you had read the initial post you'd realise that I'm fully aware that Photoshop is hugely powerful. However it doesn't offer enough benefit for my usage (ie retouching of amateur photos) to make it worth the money + computer infection. My above post wasn't an attempt to say that Photoshop is bad, or that Gimp or any of these other freeware programs are even in the same league, I was just stating that my own need for Photoshop's power isn't great enough to make me want to install spyware.
>hmmm how about A PAYING JOB! i think that's what the clincher is for most folks.
True, but (again, as I explained above) I'm not a professional photographer/graphic artist/etc. and therefore there is no 'need it for work' motivation.

Trivia question for Photoshop CS5 connoisseurs

What would cause my printer to print in such way? See photo attached. It will only happen in Photoshop CS5. It printed ok in Ai. Looks like the color components are not lining up.
I reset the settings on CS5, aligned my printer, printed a test page and tried a little bit of Juju...
Need help or suggestions.

Doesn't look like a familiar failure to me, though it crossed my mind that maybe the printer had run out of one of the colors of ink - but that possibility seems to be dispelled by your saying it prints properly from other apps.
Screen grab your print dialog and printer settings dialog. Maybe it's some kind of "double color management" problem.
Other questions you can answer that may help someone help you:
1. What system, what OS, what printer (specifics are needed)?
2. What color space is your document in?
Armed with the screen grabs and specific system/printer info, maybe someone with a similar setup will be able to say what they do to make prints work properly for them.

Question about Photoshop - Muse workflow

I'm new to Muse. Long time PS and InDesign user. Watched a bunch of Muse videos and it seems this may do what I need.
I'm building a simple 4-5 page website for a Gallery.
I've already designed the pages in Photoshop CC.
Essentually, full screen photos, A black rectangle (In PS it is raster not a path) Witrh some type and drop shadow effects. A couple other elements from Illustrator (placed as smart objects) have blend modes and opacity changes.
So my question. Should I just start from scraatch in muse and build these elements? Or, can I say place a PSD with the background image, black "path" text, illustrator graphic with blend modes.
When is it better to bring in elements (text with effects, illustrator graphics, etc) via Photoshop, or piece by piece in Muse?
Thanks
Alex

Yes, as long as you have sites out there that use paid-for type-kit fonts, you'll need to maintain your subscription with typekit, in the same way we must continue our subscriptions to CC to use Adobe apps. As I understand it, however, for sites we create using typekit fonts included with CC, even after we've stopped paying for CC, those "free" typekit fonts will still work on sites we've created.
I'd say to go typekit.com, and do some reading, and some searching to make sure they have the fonts you want to use. So far, I'm not a Typekit subscriber, except the small part of their font library that comes included with Adobe CC.
In the meantime, I'm using more and more of Google's free web fonts. Typekit and Google each has its own specific workflow, for integrating fonts in Muse. I recommend that you go to Google.com/fonts, and get acquainted with their type system. It comes down to copying certain snippets of code to specific places in Muse, then editing html within Muse for type color, etc. -- I probably spent a week or so doing trial and error (not necessarily in that order) before I got it to work. Now I just keep a few "reference" Muse documents around that I can refer to when needed.
As I unserstand it, Typekit's workflow is a bit different than Google's, but there are plenty of threads in this forum and info on how to do it that you can Google.
Webfonts is where you slowly move into the code arena with Muse. And this is even more true styling business catalyst forms. My way of doing it is to discover how it works once, then I forget it completely, because I don't want to be more of a geek than I already am. :+) So I keep sample Muse documents around for reminding me how it works when I need it again.
Good luck, and happy learning! :+)

Question about Photoshop Extended Installation

It seems that the Creative Cloud installer installs both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Photoshop. Can either one be installed singularly? Can one or the other be un-installed?

Question about Photoshop Elements 11, Windows 8, and new Dell Computer

Since I bought a new Dell Inspirion 660 computer, running Windows 8, my Photoshop Elements 11 occassionally gives me an error message saying I cannot save the file because I do not have enough RAM. I have 8GB of RAM. I never had this problem on my Old Dell Windows XP computer. Any suggestions?

Try reinstalling the application and see if this works.

You can not change the hardness on a brush that you created. The hardness only works on some of the brushes that Adobe supplies.

Question for Photoshop Experts - Selections to individual png's

I purchased a big jpg file from an online stock image provider that has a collection of items (a collage of 200 fruits in this case). I now need to extract individual fruit images from this big collage. By using photoshop selection tools I was able to select all the individual fruits in the image and now want to create new individual png's for each of the selected fruits in the image. Is it possible to automatically create a layer for each of the individual selections so that I can use Script -> Export Layers To Files . Any help is highly appreciated. I have been looking for a solution online but to no avail.
Thanks,
Jack.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you need to select one fruit from the base layer, hit cmd/ctrl-J - that will put that selection on a separate layer. Once you are done selecting all the fruit, then you can run the script. You will have to select each fruit, so if all of them are on a white background, you could select the entire white back ground invert the selection cmd/ctrl-I, then use cmd/ctrl-J to set all the fruit on one layer. Then you can just select each fruit with the rectangular marquee tool and use cmd/ctr-J to put them on their own layer. The one issue I foresee is that if you save use the script, you will have a buch of dead space in each image.

Question about Photoshop Premier and the need for coreaudio.dll drivers

I downloaded Photoshop Premier Elements. When I run the video edit part of the program, I get an error saying the program cannot find coreaudio.dll and coreaudiotoolbox.dll. I'm using Windows 8.1. Are these drivers necessary? If so, how do I get them? Thx

There is a dedicated forum for Premiere Elements:
