Create an inset border Cs6 Photoshop

Hi All,
I cannot seem to figure out the steps to create an inset border, I used Windows edit for the example of what I desire.
I would like to shown the steps to do this in Photoshop CS6 Please.
Before:
What I want... I used Edit in windows Paint to achieve this but one would think this should be as easy as Stroke and inset.. But I could not get it to work?

In Photoshop, you would start with the Marquee Tool.
I would move the Marquee cursor to where I want the border centered, and holding down the Option/Alt key, drag out.
When you have the Marquee where you want it, use Edit > Stroke, where you can set the color and width of the stroke, and where around the marquee you want the stroke to go.
As in your illustration, guides are best for placing your border. Having it on a separate layer gives you more flexibility.

I need to create an animation sequence in photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds

I need to create an animation sequence in photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds. please help.

What problem are you having that should be easy just create the layer to make frames with. Create a frame animation in the timeline panel. Create the frames and set their display time. Save an animated gif for the web ie "Save For Web"
Prior to CS6 Photoshop only had a Animation Palette in CS Adobe replaced the palette with the Timeline Palette that can do Frame animations and Video. You can render a fame animation as a video but video does not support transparency like and animated Gif.

A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore HELP

Hi, please help with my issue which is as follows:
A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore and sends a message saying that the file is not compatible.
What should I do, I have invested so much in that file and I dont think i will be able to do it all over again.

That's why people do incremental saves and use backups... You could try to open the file in an image viewer like IrfanView and see which parts are salvagable, but that's as good as it gets most likely...

CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD filewon't print because the print dialog box won't appear altho the file properties appear to be the same as other files that do print.

CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD file won't print because the print dialog box won't appear after selecting File > Print. Then "Print" becomes grayed out. The file properties such as permissions, are the same as other PSD files that do print. This file also cannot be converted to Adobe PDF, which is not offered as choice under "Save as", whereas other can be. I've exited, reopened Photoshop, restarted computer, checked out other CS6 PSD files which do print, nothing changes. The 52 MB file has been flattened. OS is Windows 7. Thanks for any suggestions.

Sounds like the printer driver is having some problems.
Try holding the space bar down when you select Print (which makes the print dialog NOT load previously used settings).

How do I create the copyright symbol in photoshop CS6?

How do I create the copyright symbol in Photoshop CS6, Windows7? Alt+0169 does not work.

I just use Character Map, and Copy/Paste the © symbol.
With the Alt+ keys are you using the numerical keypad, or the numbers at the top of the QWERTY? Is NumLk ON?
Good luck,

Can I open a CS6 Photoshop file in Adobe Photoshop Touch for Phone?

I am trying to rountrip a ps file to/from Adobe Photoshop Touch for Phone to/from CS6 Photoshop on a mac. Is it possible? It seems (so far) I can create a .psdx on the phone and edit on my desktop, but once editing in CS6 PS, I can't get that file back on the phone for editing. Any ideas... or is it a one way street from phone to desktop right now? thx!!!

Hi there,
In general, the .psd format is fairly backwards compatible. To help get your files ready to be opened in CS3, follow this process:
1) Go to Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling.
2) In the menu, make sure Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility is set to always.
Just in case, you may also want to save your file as a .TIFF, which is a format that will also preserve your layers and is able to be opened in older versions.
Please let us know if you need any more information, and good luck with your project!

Creating animated gif's in Photoshop CS5

I have created identical images in both Photoshop & .gif versions and can't get any of them to work
The images are saved in an 8 bit format. There are 8 layers. the largest version is 761px 760px.
When I get the dialog box for "save for web," no matter which version of the images I try, the animation choices are greyed out. I do not see a check box for "animate" like there is in my Elements 10 dialog box on another system. What do need to do to be able to save as an animation?

You need to ensure it's an animation in Photoshop's eyes.
An animated document is generally maintained with the frames in separate layers. For example, if you open an animated GIF, it may open each frame into a layer.
Make the Timeline panel visible (Window - Timeline).
If the animation doesn't show there, you may need to click the fly-out menu icon at the upper-right corner of the Timeline panel and choose Make Frames from Layers.
-Noel
Edit: Sorry, you said Photoshop CS5. In that version it's the Animation panel. Same panel, but renamed in Photoshop CS6 to Timeline.

Can't create frames from layers CS6

I have looked at multiple tutorials saying that to create an animated gif in Photoshop CS6, you just open the Timeline palette and select "Create Frames from Layers" from the dropdown. I don't see this option, not even grayed out. What is the problem?

Thanks - didn't realize it was even a button. Thought picking it from the dropdown was enough. O_o

New Problem creating a desktop shortcut to photoshop 2014 causes the program to break?

After getting fed up of waiting for adobe CC to finally finish buffering I thought I'd create a desktop shortcut to Photoshop (To save time). After doing this I doubled clicked on the shortcut and after 15 minutes of waiting I realized something was wrong double clicking again and watching the task manager I noticed Photoshop appear for half a second under background processes and then disappear entirely. So I then tried to launch Photoshop 2014 from Adobe CC under Installed Apps and this does the exact same thing. Both links to Photoshop now don't work and just sit there.
I would appreciate some help and I am also getting increasingly tired of ongoing problems with the software..........(I still have 30 days well 28 to cancel this subscription and simply buy a disk version of CS6)
Please help!
Or if you cant help how do i get in contact with someone at adobe?

You can't just create a short cut during the installation process. If the shortcut is not there, then it was not done installing. That's why it does not work correctly, it is still lacking an important piece of the puzzle, more commonly known as dll's. (dll is an external app that the main app polls from when needed. This on windows, I do not know what the external apps are called on a mac)
I recommend that you uninstall all of adobe's apps including the manager and if needed use the adobe cleaner to remove portions if the uninstaller fails to do so. Then restart your computer and install again. How long it take to install will depend on the size of the file, the speed of your internet connection, if using wifi, the speed of that connection, the speed of Adobe's server, how much of a load is on Adobe's server.
If you are using wifi, you can remove that bottle neck by using a direct connection with eithernet or other means ex. usb.

CS6 Photoshop menus, palettes and UI is blurry

hi,
this issue may have already been brought up but i have not been able to find an answer.
i just installed CS6 photoshop to retina macbook pro and the menus and palettes (the text) are all blurry. any photos i open in photoshop also appear blurry. can someone please help?
thanks,
judy

yes, that was the first thing I did. The maker says he's never seen that issue before and claims that something on my system is conflicting. I checked the Kwik 2 forums, and did a bit of googling and have seen no mention of this issue. Also, the fact that it actually does load and run normally when I log in as a different (newly created) user, further validates his response that it is something specific to my system/user.
What I'd ideally like to know is, how would I go about troubleshooting this?
I saw a few Photoshop troubleshoot pages by Adobe, but none have helped. Doesn't PS create a log? Can I start it in "debug" mode for troubleshooting? I've found no documentation on advanced troubleshooting. I did find this in my csxs2-PHXS.log file:
ERROR EvalScript: Failed to evaluate script for engine <swfpanelengine-Kwik 2-1>
Not sure what that means or what to do about that.
Any advanced help?

Creating a stamp border for logo

Hi all,
I would like to create the wavy border as shown on the cup:
http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/40912/894199/vasoybolsa0_750.jpg
Be great if someone can direct me to a tutorial.
Thank you

That was probably done in a vector drawing program like Adobe Illustrator.
You can probably get something close to that in Photoshop using the Polygon Shape Tool. Set its side for how ever many bumps your want (say 32?).
Set it to Star, Smooth Corners, Smooth indents with 10% or so indent sides?

Is there a way to create a contact box on photoshop and save as PDF?

Can someone explain how or where to find a tutorial to create a contact box on photoshop then save as a pdf? Thank you!

Contact box? Your question is not clear perhaps if there was one and only one standard contact box on planet Earth there would probably be more the one correct answer to you question. Please describe what your desired in the PDF file. If you want something that can be filled in like a contact form you may need to use a different Adobe product like Acrobat. Or something to create an HTML Page with a contact form.

Adobe CS6 Photoshop always opens a previous file.

Why is it that when ever I launch CS6 Photoshop does it automatically open a file that I worked on previously? The file (at this point) is always the same file and is was worked on over a month ago.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention Photoshop is all up-to-date and I am seeing this on Mac OS versions: OS X 10.6.8 but not on Mac OS X 10.8.2.

Want to create an oval vignette in photoshop elements 10 with transparent background for printing w

I am fairly new to PSE and I want to create an oval vignette in Photoshop Elements 10 with transparent background for printing on white paper using MS Publisher. Using the white background on inverse selection makes a slight line impression and either it should have a defined "frame" or nothing.
Appreciate any guidance.

Try with the Elliptical marquee tool:
On the tool's option bar set feather 25-40 px (experiment)
Drag out the Ellipse to embrace the object
Go to Layer>new>layer via copy, or CTRL+J
Your selection should fade out as a vignette and be surrounded by transparency
Save this layer via File>save for web, select PNG-24, and tick "Transparency"
