CS3: Vanishing Point won't work

I have a fairly large PSD (130MB) that I need to run the Vanishing Point filter on. I did it once, no problem. Now when I try I get an error:
Tried on two different machines, each with CS3 and 10 GB RAM.
What gives? Is there a less helpful error message in Photoshop?

I have had similar issues and this has worked for me. Copy the background layer, then create a new document, you will not need to do anything to the size because PS will use the size of the file you just copied. After it opens paste your image. If you need any other layers you can drag those over as well, but if you don't need them before you go into vanishing point I would wait until after you have run vanishing point just to be safe. For some reason creating this new document seems to do the trick, but I have found that sometimes, after I have worked on a file a while, the same thing will happen again. So you have to do the whole copy, new document thing again.

PS: I have this issue on all three of my computers, Dual 2ghz GD, Quad 2.5ghz G5, and 8 Core 3ghz Mac Pro. I have 18 gb ram on my 8 Core and my scratch drive is a raid 0 and consists of 6 15k drives striped over 2 channels. So it's not an issue with scratch or not enough ram.

  • Why Vanishing Point is not working in PS CS3 as it was showing in the tutorial Disk?

    Vanishing Point is not working in PS CS3. I was trying 10s of time or may be I am not working right. But whatever it says and showing in the Tutorial Vedio, not happening that easy. Or it does not cover in the Photoshop CS3. Because that's the way its look like now. does anybody know how can we make it work possible?
    Thank You.

  • Photoshop CS3 vanishing point help

    i'm having a bit of trouble with the vanishing point filter.  this is the first time i've ever really used it to any extent so i must be overlooking something trivial or maybe it's just a program error...
    anyway, whats happening is i'm trying to apply art to a box using the vanishing point filter, there is no problem with creating or editing the planes but as soon as i paste the artwork from the clipboard and try to position it to the front of the box it only wraps around two of the planes correctly and the third plane is cut off in an odd location and doesn't match up with the rest of the "box" i can't figure this out and i'm rather unsure what i should do about it seeing as how i've been unable tgo find support for this problem.  any help is greatly appriciated.  thanks.
    -Greg

    I think it's how it calcualtes the plane area in relation to the original layer size vs. the "texture" resolution. What if you simply try to do this in multiple steps? I mean, some touchup is inevitable, so why not make it easy on you? The plane setup will remain active during a session, so it should be easy to make the required adjustments...

  • Flash CS3 trial setup won't work

    I downloaed from the Adobe website the trial version of Flash
    CS3. However, when I click on the setup exe file the setup screen
    shows for a couple of seconds then disappears. Has anyone else
    experienced this? My operating system is Vista Home Premium.

    Uninstall it, do a reboot, then after you come back from the
    reboot, erase the files in c:/program files/adobe/flash cs3/
    directory.
    Then reinstall flash cs3, works for me if silly things like
    that happen.

  • CS3 space bar won't work as hand tool

    I have just set up a new computer -Vista Ultimate 64 bit and cannot get the spacebar to work as a hand tool in Photoshop. Please help! Thanks....Susan

    Spacebar as hand tool is restored!! I think Dave was right about something interfering with it. The only thing that i changed on my system before this happened was that I unlocked my login in keychain access. Once I went back to keychain access and locked login again, did a restart and opened photoshop, the spacebar as hand tool was restored! So if anyone else has this problem, think back to what you did last on your system and revert to how it originally was. Hope this helps somebody out there

  • Indesign CS3 Tool Bar Won't Work

    I am having a problem with my tool pallet not working as well as the above options when a file is open.  I can manually change back on each tool except the two pointers.  Is there a way to get these things to work in my preferences menu?  I am working in Vista on a pc.  Also, when a file is open and I select the selection tool (escape,v) and select an image, I can not change the size from the top menu either.

    Best thing is to let the installer put it in the default location, but there are reports where the path isn't recognized because of the spaces or some such.
    You can use the DOS name for the folder -- Progra~2 when that happens. There's a KB article -- let me see if I can find it.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331755.html is about installing on XP 64, but the information is the same.

  • Vanishing point problems?

    I am using CS3 on a 8 core Mac Pro with 16gb ram and a 6 drive RAID for scratch. Right now I am running Leopard but I had the same problem with Tiger. I am having issues with vanishing point, 90% of the time after I will get this message "The operation could not be completed". This happens a couple of seconds after I select this plugin. I know that it can be sensitive with large files, but usually my files are only around 500mb. I tried flattening the files and I still got the same message. If I copy this flattened file and paste it into a new document vanishing point will usually work, but if I continue to work on the file I will end up getting that message again. This is with only 5 layers and a file size of roughly 13"x16" @ 240dpi. If I open the same file in CS2 vanishing point works. I also have two other macs, a 2.5 Quad G5 and a dual 2.0 G5. I have this same problem on these computers as well. Of course I tried all of the usual fixes, repair permissions, trash prefs, etc., and still have the same issue.

    I had Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 unexpectedly quit on me about an hour ago while working with Vanishing Point on a fairly simple file--2 layers, one layer with the art I was using Vanishing Point on. I had just created one plane and was pulling out a new plane from it and ZAP! This is on a Mac Pro 3 Ghz running Tiger 10.4.11, with 4GBs of RAM. My post from yesterday was from a similar Mac Pro running Leopard 10.5.2, 5 GBs of RAM.

  • Struggling with vanishing point

    I am playing with different materials in a ren dering and the vanishing point tool seemed appropriate. The trouble though is that no matter how much fiffdling it doesn't "get" the persepctive I'm working in - when I pull off planes in the perpindicular they never correspond with the unde rlying perpedicular planes in the image, even though i know they're orthogonal. SHould i just ignore this and tweak it do that the perspective looks ok with each plane, or is there  a way to get ortho planes to line up with ortho planes in the image underneath...

    Never really seen this. The success of this is all about placing the points accurately. Also things such as wide angle lenses (used to shoot the original) can make vanishing point, which only works on a rigid 3D grid structure not work properly. Any geometric distortions caused by lenses can be 'corrected' with the 'Lens Correction' filter.
    A tip - using the Z key will allow a temporary zoom and allow you to place the grid points more accurately.

    Check the web site of the maker of your video card for an updated display driver.  The one that came installed with Windows (or was downloaded via Windows Update) is often not the best choice.

  • Vanishing Point issues in CS3

    I have tried to use the vanishing point filter but I do not get the option to export to After Effects. I have tried a number of tutorials and am confident that I am doing everything correctly, I have also read the manual and can't find anything. The filter works and allows me to draw the planes, but it only gives the option to render to photoshop.
    I have tried reinstalling both After Effects CS3 and Photoshop CS3 but it still doesn't work.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Jason

    I've run into this. I think VP is not very well implemented.
    In my experience the message you got seems to indicate some error from VP that gets saved into the file structure, rendering it unable to use VP again.
    If I remember correctly, I've had some luck with doing Save As to the file, giving a different name and trying again. But I think I've had some files that were permantly affected.
    ...My memory on all of this is not entirely clear, because I've grown a little jaded on VP and I've gone back to using the Transform function.

  • BUG - Indexing Options keep pointing to D drive rather than the C drive - search charm won't work

    So I noticed that the search in my Windows 8.1 simply won't work to find files and settings. Then I went to Indexing Options in the Control Panel and I noticed that one of the locations Indexing was trying to point to is:
    D:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\ (Unavailable)
    This is odd since this is not the location of the Start Menu (which is in the C drive, not the D drive).
    So I went on to remove this location and manually add the location of the Start Menu in the C drive (i.e. C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\).
    To my surprise, adding the location in the C drive is actually listed as the D drive -- not the C drive. In Fact any directory I try to add to the Index located in the C drive is in fact listed as being in the D drive!
    I'm at a loss here, and in fairness I reckon this is a bug.
    Have anyone here ever experienced this? Is there any workaround?
    EDIT: While the search does not work. It seems like the Windows Explorer search works without any issues.
    Also I reckon it is worth mentioning that I change the location of my search index to the D drive. This is because my C drive is a Solid State Drive, while my D drive is a traditional Hard Drive.
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Regards,
    P.

    Hi,
    I made a test in my fresh building Windows 8.1. Create a new drive and a new folder in it. After that, add the folder into Windows Index Location. When I delete the folder, its shows up as the screenshot below:
    As you can see, it's same with yours, If I choose uncheck the Index folder and reopen Windows Index Location, it would be dispare from this panel.
    While for your problem, actually, move the index location is no difference to your Windows search, it just change search file location.
    To identify if this is a disk drive problem, you can opt to use Diskpart command to check your drive letter if it was correct.
    Open Command Prompt with admin, then type diskpart.
    Afer that, type list volume, check current disk label.

    Thanks for the response.
    I installed the 11.0.2 update and I still have teh BEX64 crash.  I have also tried starting PS CS4 and pressed Cntrl Shift & Alt at the same time.  It still crashes when I get to the point of moving text or a plane in a grid within Vanishing Point.

  • How do I get "Vanishing Point" to work properly on iMac Retina 5k

    How do I get "Vanishing Point" to work properly on iMac Retina 5k? When I "render grid to photoshop" the grid is not in right place and scale. I'm using latest version of CC.

    OMG! What a load of crap and thank you for posting this. I spent 3 solid hours to do something that I have done hundreds of times before, apply a Vanishing Point filter. I kept thinking I had some non-default setting on and was literally screaming at my new iMac. I NEVER thought it would be the cause. It was actually easier to reinstall CS5 on an older Mac and just do the stuff I needed. This is crazy. I fully get why Adobe doesn't support this yet but to not make a huge deal out of it so people know about it is just wrong. When I searched for Vanishing Point on the Forums, this thread showed almost the bottom of the first page. It should be stuck to the top until they fix it.
