CS2 BRUSHES AND ACTIONS

Where can I locate my CS2 Brushes and Actions to download/move to CS5?
I tried moving brushes and actions as per email advice. I got the following error message:
Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
What should I try next?

What operating system or systems?

Brushes and Actions PSE 12 or 13

Can I install Brushes and Actions to PSE 12 or 13?

Hi paperinvite,
Yes, there is an option to Load brushes/ actions exported from PSE.
a) For Brushes, it is in fly out menu of Brush preset picker. I am attaching the snapshot for the same.
b) Similarly, for Actions it is in the flyout menu of Actions panel.
Hope this is the information you were looking for. Let me know if this helps!

Brushes and Actions

I have an action that uses a brush. The brush is saved in a custom pallet I made and is not in the standard brush pallet.
So my problem is when I use the action for the first time in the opened document (not a new document - I never work with a new doc for this action) the action will not apply the brush. I have figured out that the brush needs to be in the brush pallet for the action to work not in my custom brush pallet.
So how can I get the action to use the brush from my custom pallet?
If that's not possible how do I add the brush to the standard brush pallet for a preexisting doc?

It's not possible to use it directly from custom library palettes. A workaround is to include a Paste command inside the action, that is, you copy an object to which the brush is applied to the clipboard, then run the action(s) which have that Paste command. After executing the Paste command, there should also be a Delete step to remove the pasted object.

Will actions created in CS5 work in CS2-4 and CS6?

Will actions created in Photoshop CS5 work in CS2-4 and CS6?

I have some actions that were done in PS7 that work up to CC, I think the main challenge would be if you have some brushes or items that may be new in CC may not work in earlier versions. all you can do is try the action and see, they can be deleted anyway if they do not work.

Photoshop CS2 brushes looking scratchy?

I have had this problem in CS2 and Elements 8. Out of nowhere, my brushes start looking scratchy. This isn't like the common "pixelated brush" error, where it switches between brush and pencil, this is something different. I'm extraordinarily frustrated with this. Thanks for your help.
Here's a picture of how the brushes look (view the full image and look around the edges of the strokes):

Usual first question is are you using the Pencil tool and not the brush, but you can't have soft pencil strokes, so I don't think that is it. Nor does it look like spacing, because that would produce bumpy strokes. In fact it looks like you have a small Chalk brush tip, but with size and angle jitter set.
Try resetting brushes, (I'm guessing that was the first thing you tried). Then try resetting Preferences.
If still having problems, have a good look at the Brush Presets panel. Pay particular attention to the Shape Dynamics, and Scattering options.
Another thought, what is is the brush blend mode set to? Dissolve might give those results. I used the Dissolve mode to produce this Photoshop visual gag some years ago:

Setting up Custom Brushes and ToolSets

I created a custom panel using configurator. In that custom panel I created a pop-up panel button, but the pop-up panel button doesn't trigger a pop up panel ? I want the pop up panel to have two tabs one to save custom brushes and custom tool settings, and those panels which save custom tool brushes and custom tool settings, saved with the custom panel.
The results is the custom tool panel that I created with the custom pop-up can be loaded into photoshop as a extension with the custom tool brushes and custom tool settings along with it, so it's not tied directly within photoshop but rather with the extension, I hope I made myself clear.

Hi,
When you export Configurator panel to photoshop, it will generate a file named "untitle-1.mxi", this is the Extension Manager package template.
Open it with a text editor you will see this piece of XML
    <files>
        <file source="content" destination="$panels/untitled-1"/>
    </files>
I think you can add something like these:
<file source="mybrushes" destination="$brushes"/>
<file source="mytools" destination="$tools"/>

HELP! Lightroom Crashes Only with Adjustment Brush and only when using HDMI output!

This is very frustrating. I use my Acer N56V laptop to teach Lightroom workshops. I use a 32 inch television as a display. When I have my laptop attached with an HDMI cable and try to use Lightroom's adjustment brush, it crashes. Either the screen and computer just shuts down or I get the Blue Screen of Death. I can do anything else! I can edit in Photoshop, do anything else in Lightroom or even Silver EFX Pro. I can even click on the adjustment brush. But the minute the brush hits the photo (and not before), the computer crashes. If I don't have it attached to the HDMI or if I use a Serial cable, no issues. It's only the adjustment brush and only the HDMI output.
I called Adobe and they said it was because my onboard video card was primary and not the Nvidia. I called Acer and they said it's auto detect. I also tried making the Nvidia card primary and it still happened. Any ideas???

You have switched the overlay mask to always show. Fortunately, it's easy fixed i.e. tap the O key. Shift+O will cycle the overlay through various colours
Other Adjustment Brush and Graduate Filter shortcuts and modifiers are listed them below:
Open Adjustment Brush - K
Open Gradient Tool - M
Show/hide Pin - H
Always Show - Shift + Cmd/Ctrl+H
Show Selected/Never Show - Shift+H
To increase Amount - Right Arrow
To decrease Amount - Left Arrow
To increase/decrease brush size - ] / [
To increase/decrease feather - Shift+] / Shift+[
Set Flow Amount - Number Keys
To commit and/or start new a brush stroke or gradient - Enter / Return
To delete the selected pin - Delete
Holding down - Alt/Option key activates erase mode
Toggle Auto Mask On/Off - A
Pressing O toggles on/off the overlay
Shift+O cylces through alternative colours for overlay
To constrain gradient to vertical/horizontal - hold down Shift plus drag
To invert the gradient - '
To scale from center - Alt/Option plus drag

Error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding" - I have read and action the KB - no fix

So before we start - I have read the KB (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding) and actioned the advice on how end the processes, delete the parental lock, etc. This gives a temporary but one time only fix and does not resolve the overall issue.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the application.
So why do I get the Error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding"?

See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
Note that in Firefox 13+ (expected to be released June 5) the parent.lock file is no longer deleted after closing Firefox to make it possible to check for startup crashes, so the presence of that file will in the future no longer indicate a problem.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Import of XML file failed in portal using XML Content and Action

Hi Friends,
I am trying to import the simple XML file which is just creating the folder in the PORTAL_CONTENT using XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS which is one way of creating the portal content. GO TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION > TRANSPORT > XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS > IMPORT.
The reason for using this import tool is to upload the backend Business roles, which is not not working on our corporate portal. To test the import functionality I used the following xml file (I got this XML file by exporting the test folder in the portal using the same tool)

Pass parameter through standard page "import xml content and actions"

Dear Portal experts,
As you know, a standard portal page is configured to allow the import of XML file. It is located in the portal in the path system admin -> transport -> xml content and actions -> import
I configured a quick link u201Cimportu201D to the page so now the link http://myserver:port/irj/portal/import allows me to access directly to this screen.
What I would like to do now is to pass the parameter related to u201Cfile nameu201D through this screen meaning that I would like that http://myserver:port/irj/portal/ import/filename=C:\test.xml fills automatically the fields u201CXML fileu201D with C:\test.xml
Please do you know how to achieve this ?
Thank you very much and regards

hi,
@Maksim :
When user launch an URL like http://myserver:port/irj/portal/ import/*filename=C:\test.xml, he is requested to provide username and password; as this link is a shortcut for the upload xml page, there is a check of authorization and only portal admin that have authorization and permission on this page/iview will be able to upload xml file through the URL. Hope this clarify.
@Kumar :
thank you for your answer. What a pity to not be able to pass parameter through standard portal page/iview particularly knowing that we can pass paramater through many kinds of iviews (transactional iview, url iview, VC iview...). I explored some option on file com.sap.portal.ivs.init.par but this was unsuccessful. However, thanks to this [link bellow|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ComponenttouploadXMLfilewithPCD+objects], I was able to upload through URL the XML file.
The problem is that I can upload only XML file that are stored in the server not in the local user computer. My requirement is to be able to upload local XML file stored on user's computer.
If someone could provide and idea/solution, I would be very grateful.
Cheers

Macbook Pro OS X Snow Leopard and CS2 upgrade and CS5?

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie and would love to hear some thoughts on this.
I currently have the Adobe CS2 which I use on my toshiba. but all that is about to change because I recently got a macbook pro that runs on Snow lepoard. I have read some of the other treads and have come to the realisation that my CS2 will not work on the macbook?!
What is really the case? Is there no chance at all that I will be able to use my CS2?
If so, that means I will need to get an upgrade. Currently, my CS2 is the normal version, but I am now a student so I will be eligible for the student discount & upgrade. Is it possible to have all that arranged over the Adobe site? I can only see the student option, but not the upgrade option for student editions. Or should I head over to a store?
Is it true that I can wait till CS5 to come up before I lose my upgrading option?
Even though I have had CS2 for almost 5 years now, I am still very much a beginner (shameful I know). Is it worth even getting the upgrade in my case? And will CS5 be compatible with the macbook pro leopard?
Many thanks in advance!

I don't accept this at all.
Firstly, CS2 not only didn't work properly on Leopard, but nor did it on Vista. So both Microsoft and Apple are presumably grossly violating this OS upgrade principal?
Secondly, Microsoft manage to keep their apps updated without too much complaint. Hence office 2004 still runs faultlessly on Leopard
Thirdly, we have seen the Adobe approach to upgrades with Phtoshop / Lightroom and Camera Raw. How many people have bought a new digital SLR just to find that Adobe doesn't support it and will only support it if you pay for the next upgrade.
Finally, the job of an OS build is to improve the OS and let 3rd party developers have the beta releases so they can test their apps on it. If the app's developer finds it is a big job, why not charge existing users a nominal fee for the patch? I'm happy with CS2 functionality and would happily pay a sensible amount for some fixes rather than £700 + for an upgrade. We all understand that software moves on, but having to pay huge sums for an upgrade after 2 years is simply unacceptable.

Brush and Pencil tool not working in Photoshop CS5 trial

I dowloaded the Photoshop CS5 trial yesterday 2 days ago. Everything worked perfectly yesterday. Unfortunately, today...the brush and pencil tool doesn't work. Anyone have any idea why?

We need a few more details like what doesn't work
with the brush or pencil tools.
Provide a screenshot if you feel that would help illustrate the problem.

CS2 (photoshop and the rest) suddenly stopped working

I have been working in CS2 yesterday and today on a project, photoshop, bridge and illustrator. I work on a new MacBook and previously used this copy, which I own, on my iMac. About 2 months ago I deactivated the software on my iMac G5 before recycling it through the Apple program. I worked all day in these programs yesterday and for some reason they won't start up anymore. They just hang up and I have to force quit. I've tried restarting. Is there anything i can do via the Adobe site to reconfirm myself as the owner of this suite of products? Any ideas? Thank you.

First point: CS2 is totally unsupported on Leopard, Snow Leopard and is not Intel native.
Without more details on exactly what's happening it's very hard to guess. There is a known CS2 issue that I wrote about here:
http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobat-update-causing-problems-for-mac-indesign-and-illustrato r-users.php
Not sure if it's applicable or not in your case.

Can't get brushes and swatches to sync, only settings/workspaces. (Win7 and Win8.1, latest photoshop)

I have Photoshop CC 2014 installed and updated on a Win7 machine and a Win8.1 machine. When I go to edit>preferences>sync settings, everything is checked, but it seems that only my workspace settings get uploaded. It never seems to transfer my swatches or brushes. They are stored in the default location and show up in the brush and swatch menus.

Do they play in iTunes?
