Compatibility issue with Photoshop CS6

After I create a file in Photoshop and save it, it for some reason saves as an Illustrator file. Why is this? Before I saved, there was a dialogue that popped up saying something like maxamizing my file compatebility and that it could be turned off in Preferences > File Handling > File Compatibility. I'm not even sure if that ties into my main issue, but I tried turning it off and on, but my file is still an Illustrator file rather than a Photoshop one. Can anyone help me figure out why this is? It doesn't make sense.

PSD = Photoshop
AI (which PS can export) = Illustrator
As you can see, mine saves as and AfterEffects file in Vista (CS4)
After selecting Photoshop, the icon changes and it opens with the proper app.
On the Mac I click the file and "get Info", and choose PS CS6.
It's now a cross format PSD.

Performance Issues with Photoshop CS6 64-Bit

Hello -
Issue at hand: over the course of the last few weeks, I have noticed significant issues with performance since the last update to PS CS6 via the Adobe Application Manager, ranging from unexpected shut downs to bringing my workstation to a crawl (literally, my cursor seems to crawl across my displays). I'm curious as to if anyone else is experiencing these issues, or if there is a solution I have not yet tried. Here is a list of actions that result in these performance issues - there are likely more that I have either not experienced due to my frustration, or have not documented as occuring multiple times:
Opening files - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
Pasting from clipboard - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
Saving files - takes 3-10 seconds to open the dialog, another 3-10 seconds to return to normal window (saving a compressed PNG)
Eyedropper tool - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
Attempting to navigate any menu - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
Attempts I've taken to resolve this matter, which have failed:
Uninstalled all fonts that I have added since the last update (this was a pain in the ***, thank you Windows explorer for being glitchy)
Uninstall application and reinstall application
Use 32-bit edition
Changing process priority to Above Normal
Confirm process affinity to all available CPU cores
Change configuration of Photoshop performance options

This issue is costing me time I could be working every day, and I'm about ready to begin searching for alternatives and cancel my membership if I can't get this resolved.

Installation and compatibility issues with photoshop CS4 - Win 8

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 8. I am experiencing issues when attempting to install the downloaded and upgrade copy of photoshop CS4. Initially unpacking the software presented issues, but I believe they've been resolved - specifically I had to change the folder attribute from read only while unpacking, of course the tedium arose when this endeavor didn't seem to apply the new attributes to all subfolders and files. I percivered though by repeating it for each folder throughout. When I select the icon for the setup.exe file though the process ends as quickly as it began. I considered that it my have been seeking the previous version (in my case photoshop elements) so I sought to install it first, but as you may have guessed the old software is experiencing it's own compatibility issues. Does anyone know if photoshop CS4 will even work in Windows 8, and I hope someone will have already cleared this hurdle and can give me direction - please, I really am hoping for a life preserver here!
Thankyou, Chris
PS I did attempt to open one of the attached adobe reader files that came with the downloaded copy, but unfortunately they won't open prior to installation given they show the file size 0kb. I don't know if these files are simply acting as place holders for the cab files - or whether there remains an issue while unpacking the files to begin with.

If the executable doesn't even run, it's either being shut down by some security stuff on your system or can't find a component. Impossible to tell. whiel there may be compatibility issues, on a more general level CS4 should run on Win 8...

Dreamweaver CC may have a compatibility Issue with Dreamweaver CS6?

I installed Dreamweaver CC onto my laptop (Windows 7 OS). I am able to build new web pages using Fluid Grid Layout. But when I attempt to open previously designed web pages that were build using Dreamweaver CS6, Dreamweaver CC crashes.
I was told today, in Chat, by Technical Support, that it was a compatibility issue between Dreamweaver CC and Dreamweaver CS6 (for Fluid Grid). Can this be confirmed? I have no problems going back and rebuilding previously designed Fluid Grid web pages. I just want to know that there is no fix/work around available?

Hi Norv56,
I was alerted of this issue today. Would it be possible for you to send us your files for investigation? It would be difficult for us to investigate without those.
Thanks,

30 bit color issue with photoshop cs6

I have 30 bit deep color enabled for my photoshop cs6, but whenever and wherever I hovered my brush tool above the image, it will wipe away the 30 bit information(note by switching to a different tool, it will automatically update everything back to normal)? By the way, I have a firepro w7000 video card.

PSD = Photoshop
AI (which PS can export) = Illustrator
As you can see, mine saves as and AfterEffects file in Vista (CS4)
After selecting Photoshop, the icon changes and it opens with the proper app.
On the Mac I click the file and "get Info", and choose PS CS6.
It's now a cross format PSD.

Does the new Mac OS reslove the missing icon issue with photoshop cs6

Thre has been a longstanding issue with missing icons of CS6 in the Mounatin Lion. Has the issue been fixed now with Mavericks?

Thank you, it was brief enjoyment. I just about got it set up as I wanted it. Wednesday evening as I was browsing the internet with the Mac Mini, and re-formatting the HD's of my G5 ready for eBay, the new Mac Mini died on me, less than a week old.
Returned to seller, they confirmed it was dead. I should take delivery of another new unit tomorrow, (Monday). I have lent the technician a paint scraper, so he can fit the new RAM without marking the bottom this time...
Second time lucky hopefully. It could have been the power supply? I will probably never know.

Generally this should work, but of course there may be occasional compatibility issues across the different programs and their different versions.

ATI Catalyst 13.1 - Not Good with Photoshop CS6 13.0.1

I installed Catalyst 13.1 last night.
On Windows 7 x64 and Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 I still see the GPU-based color-management issue noted in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1093163?tstart=0
Some workarounds:
Configure Photoshop to Basic GPU mode and wait for a Photoshop update to potentially fix it so Normal or Advanced mode can be used again.
Uninstall Catalyst 13.1 and install 12.8 specifically (which works okay with Photoshop CS6). After testing a bit further this is probably what I'm going to do.
There may be a problem with the reporting of the VRAM size to Photoshop. I'm not sure what's up, but I have 2GB of VRAM on my ATI 7850, and 2GB was the full amount reported to Photoshop by Catalyst 12.8. With Catalyst 13.1 in place, however, I see the following. Worse yet, the number seems to vary.
Also, there seems to be a problem now with the implementation of the Windows power policy - specifically the power-down of the monitors on inactivity. They do power-down when left idle, but then they power back up again in a few moments.
I have not found a workaround for this issue yet, save for punching the actual power buttons on the monitors.
I found no speed increase or other compelling reason to upgrade to 13.1 in any case. I think that release must be all about gaming and nothing more.
My recommendation, at least until Adobe releases an update that works around the color black-out problem, is to avoid updating to Catalyst 13.1.
-Noel

In all seriousness, I do prefer things that work.
For 5 years or so ATI was on top of the quality heap - long enough that I bought a 4670, 5670, and just recently a 7850 card. However, the last 6 to 8 months have been markedly worse, and unless some kind of major turnaround happens, I am starting to think that ATI is moving down the list, making way for nVidia to dominate. I have heard that AMD in general is having financial troubles.
In my long career in software engineering, having many PCs (and having run departments full of engineers with PCs), I have seen a number of different graphics manufacturers dominate the industry at various times... Matrox, nVidia, ATI... Maybe it's just nVidia's time to shine again.
Assuming you are speaking of "jumping ship" at a higher level to Apple, that thought has crossed my mind, but in all seriousness I don't think you lot have much better a time of it overall. Reference recent Mac-only problems with Photoshop licensing/activation for example. At the moment I enjoy the greater control the PC environment gives me over what I choose to integrate together.
Perhaps it sounds as if "things are bad" for me, but they're not really. For one thing, Catalyst 12.8 really does work pretty well. My system goes for weeks between reboots and I rarely get application crashes. Testing these drivers is something I need to do to keep abreast of problems my own software customers, who use my GPU-accelerated plug-ins, may encounter. Fortunately with the newest Catalyst drivers I've found no problems with my own software, which uses the GPU differently than Photoshop (in these modern times, it's a certainty that no two applications use the GPU in quite the same way).
By the way, I am no fanatic - In addition to two desktop Dell workstations and one laptop Dell PC, I have in the family a Macbook, three iPads, and an AppleTV. Like I said, I like things that work.

Trouble with Photoshop Cs6

Having trouble with Photoshop cs6. Brushes that i have downloaded from 3rd party websites were deleted from Photoshop after months of use. We replaced all the brushes 1 by 1 but now there is an extreme lag in almost every function in photoshop that i had never experienced before. Dont know what is going wrong.

Compatibility issues with mac OS - Lightroom 4 works where CS5 won't

Hope someone can shed some light on this issue...
I tried installing Lightroom 4 on Mac OS 10.6.1 (which is currently running CS5 without issues) but the specs call for OS 10.6.8 or later (10.7). When I updated my OS to 10.6.8, none of my CS5 apps work! They encounter launch errors - InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver... only Photoshop seems to work. So, I reverted back to OS 10.6.1 and all the programs function. Is Adobe working on a solution to fix this issue? I see with the forums that several other users have noted the same issue with CS5 not working in the OS 10.6.8 environment. I don't want to upgrade my OS just to have Lightroom function, but none the CS apps. I was thinking of partitioning my HD to load both OS, but that shouldn't be the workaround. I am very disappointed that I've purchased Lightroom 4 and now am unable to use it due to compatibility issues with the OS with the rest of CS5.0.

Pixelzboy are you receiving any specific errors when launching your applications under 10.6.8? CS5 should work just fine with 10.6.8 as well as 10.7.3. You may also want to post to the product specific forums with your launch errors as the users in those forums will be more familiar with troubleshooting steps specific to those products.

Configurator 3 Panels Cause Issue in Photoshop CS6 for Windows 8

I've come across an issue in Windows 8 when creating panels with Configurator 3 for Photoshop CS6. I hope there is a solution.
After I create and install any panel from Configurator 3 for Photoshop CS6, working on a Windows 8 machine, the speed of clicking on and selecting layers in the Layers Panel is quite delayed, sometimes to the point of seconds. This definitely is disruptive and impedes smooth workflow entirely. In further detail, when the panel is up and running, and then I click on a layer in the layers panel, or multiple layers, or try to switch between layers, the response is terribly lagging and slow, and layers aren't instantly selected as they were before.
Please note, I'm getting this same issue on two different Windows 8 machines with Photoshop CS6 with any panel I create in Configurator 3. I'm also getting this issue on a panel I didn't create, for example, the HTML Sample Panel from Adobe, downloaded from the Adobe Exchange Panel.
I've also tested creating a panel on a Mac and installing that .zxp file on my Windows machines, but I get the same result. Note, this is NOT happening in CS5 with panels created in Configurator 3 using Windoes 8, and it's not happening on a Mac with CS6, using the same panels. It is also NOT happening on a Windows 7 machine. This appears to be an issue with Windows 8 and CS6 and Configurator 3.
If I close out the extension's panel tab, and then restart Photoshop, everything is back to normal, but as soon as I open the extension again, it's back to delayed interface. And, if I don't fully close the panel and restart, the issue does not go away.
Please let me know if you've come across this and if there is a solution. I hope someone or Adobe can help.
Thank you.

Nick, do you have a virus scanner or malware protection software? I do and I have found that if I exclude Photoshop.exe as a process from being monitored, the problem goes away. My malware protection software has "real-time protection" and "behavior monitoring" and if I configure it to not monitor Photoshop, which uses a bunch of javascript for panels, then the slow-down goes away.
Let me know if that works for you as it did for me!

Need help using color checker passport with photoshop CS6

Hello all,
I'm having an issue using the Color Checker Passport with Photoshop CS6. Here's my configuration:
Mac Mini using OS 10.8, but very recently updated to 10.9 (Mavericks). My problem is the same on either OS version.
Photoshop CS6 ver 13.0.6 64 bit extended
Adobe Camera Raw 8.4
X-Rite Color Checker Passport ver 1.0.2
Canon 70D shooting RAW in sRGB color space
NEC Multi-Sync LCD monitor calibrated with Spyder 3 Pro ver 4.0.5
Now here's the issue. I go through the recommended workflow and generate a profile with no problem. Then in Camera Raw (after restarting all applications) I apply the profile to a photograph and instead of getting a nice color-corrected image my image has a greenish-yellow tint to it. It's very noticeable and I haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong, if anything. I re-calibrated the monitor, re-did the workflow with other pictures, but still get the same result.
I greatly appreciate any help or ideas on how to remedy this. I've sent an inquiry to X-Rite via their Support Web Page, but haven't heard back from them yet.
Thanks,
Kevin H.

Any issues with Photoshop CC & OS X Yosemite latest GM candidate?

I'm trying to prepare for Yosemite, as it may release later today or within the next week or so. Has anyone had any compatibility issues with the latest version of Photoshop CC and the latest Yosemite GM candidate? I have to research my third-party plugins for compatibility issues as well.

When Place Image in Photoshop, error msg: 'Problem with Photoshop CS6 caused program to stop working

When I 'Place Image' in Photoshop, the following error msg comes up: 'A Problem with Photoshop CS6 has caused the program to stop working, close programme?'
Do I need to adjust my set-up to run this? The PC operates on a 32-bit system/Windows 6.

You need to provide much more info: What files are you trying to place into what document? What are the document sizes, resolution, color mode etc.? Anything else we should know about? This could be a million things from color profile issues to color space mismatches to the files to be placed being damaged or badly structured or a importer module being broken. Also provide exact system info and crash logs:
