CS5 64 bit Masking is not working

Wierd problem in 64 bit layer masking dosen't work properly.  White reveals the layer below when using brush tool.  Black will not paint back in.  Isn't white working backwards?  I am using Win 7 core I7 processor with 12gig of ram.
CS5 in 32 bit works fine so far.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

Double check that your brush tool is not set to something other than "Normal" mode painting.
However, white in a layer mask should cause opacity and show what's on the layer itself, black should allow what's below to show through.
Choose Edit - Preferences - Performance, and disable OpenGL Drawing temporarily.  If that helps, see if there is a video driver update from the web site of the maker of your particular graphics card.

    I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
    What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written.  Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable.  Since IE9 there have been new .dll  involving printing
    which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools.  However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
    unreliable techniques.   E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
    and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.)   For example.

  • CS5 export to transparent png - not working

    I have tried every think I know to get a png optimized transparently though fireworks cs5. I have read prior forum post, and watched several tutorials indicating ways to do this and when i try they do not work.
    I created the image in photoshop and exported it to a png file. Then i opened it in fireworks in an attempt to make the png much smaller. The image will be overlaying a patterned background on the web so needs to be totallly transparent. I've tried every combination of export option and still, when I put the image in my site there is a white background.
    Ive tried png-8  with alpha transparency and changed the matte to nothing. The main window in fireworks never gets rid of the white background and when i export it's still white on my site.
    I've tried png-32 with both alpha and index.
    When i use the png exported from photoshop on my site it looks exactly how I want it, but the file size it too large so that's why Im putting it in fireworks  but when i export it from there it's not transparent.
    help!!  - Kim

    Sorry, i was not certain about your level...
    You may be interested in knowing that another tool optimizes png files beyond what Fireworks can do - and I would avoid Photoshop's abysmal png export for production. As you are probably aware of, Photoshop's web export does not allow us to save an indexed png file with full transparency - something FW was always good at.
    Try Color Quantizer: http://x128.ho.ua/color-quantizer.html
    It allows for png files with full transparency to be saved with limited colour palettes exceeding 256 colours!  With CQ you can optimize png files to the fullest, while still retaining an excellent visual quality, since you can optimize easily to a limited palette of, for example, 512 or 1024 (or a custom number of colours). Extremely useful.
    It also optimizes the transparent areas, and will automatically remove any bitmap data from those areas (which are not visible).
    And, even better, a simple quality mask brush tool assures you have maximum control over the inclusion of even tiny splotches of colour you wish to retain.
    I have long left FW behind for my png optimization, because of CQ. It's brilliant, and still somewhat of a hidden gem. Try it out, you might be pleasantly surprised. And it's a free download.

  • Exe developed in 32 bit Windows XP not working in 64 bit Windows Vista

    Am using LabVIEW 8.6 demo version downloaded from internet and Windows XP 32 bit OS. I developed an application and created an exe which communicates with a USB smart card reader. That exe file works fine with that USB device in Windows XP 32 bit OS.
    But, when i used that application exe in Windows XP 64 bit OS, and also in Windows Vista 64 bit OS, the application is not working. The communication with the USB smart card reader is not at all establishing. The USB device will take appropriate 32 bit driver and 64 bit driver automatically when updating on various OSes.
    How to resolve this? Shall i have to install any 64 bit drivers for LabVIEW?
    Thanks,
    Mathan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Dear Amit,
    Thanks for the attention. I have tried both the option you told, "Run as administrator" and checked "Services" and smart card services are running. Even i tried restarting the device, but the same result. Maybe as you told, this maybe more of an MSDN issue. I don't know how to proceed.
    Thanks,
    Mathan
    [Edit: From somewhere in MSDN forum or others, i tried the below suggestion too, but in vain. Same scenario. I lost myself in VISTA.]
    1. Right-click on the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Calais and select Permissions...
    2. Click Add.
    3. Click Advanced.
    4. Click Locations.
    5. Click on the computername and click OK.
    6. In the window 'Select user or groups', click on Find now.
    7. Select LOCAL SERVICE.
    8. Click OK.
    9. In the window 'Select user or groups', click on OK.
    10. In the window 'Permissions for Calais', click on LOCAL SERVICE and make sure 'Full control' , 'Read' and 'special permissions' is allowed.
    11. In the window 'Advance Security Settings for Calais", deactivate the options 'Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects...'
    12. When the window 'Security' appears, click Copy.
    13. In the window 'Advance Security Settings for Calais", activate the option 'Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' and click OK.
    14. In the window 'Security' click Yes
    15. In the window 'Permissions for Calais', click OK.

  • Just downloaded Firefox 4 on Windows Vista 32-bit and its not working at all.

    So I just downloaded Firefox 4 on Windows Vista 32-bit, and it's not working at all. I open up Firefox and there is not tab bar, and all the command buttons are repeated 3 times, and are on 3 different bars. This only happens with Firefox 4 and not Firefox 3.6.10. Also, when I go the menu bar and I try to click soething, nothing happens. I'm not sure why this is going on. Help anyone? Here is a link to a screenshot of my browser.
    http://img683.imageshack.us/i/firefox4y.jpg/

    I have this too, but doesn't even startup now? I downgraded to the previous version and all is OK. I also have a 64 bit version of Vista and it seems to work "a-OK" on that machine.
    Seems to me to be 32-bit issue.
    Editing this post:
    I just seen a possible answer...Do you have roboform installed (in the taskbar also)? If so, try disabling it or removing it and try to start again. I said above that I have 2 units and on the one (32-bit) I have Roboform installed and it crashes, but on the other one I don't...so go figure.
    According to the report I read, if you upgrade Roboform it should be OK, although I have not tested as of yet...I am still at work...
    Hope that helps...

  • Mask Layer not working in cropping to stage Flash

    I've read through umpteen Flash threads of frustrated users who export SWF and anything visible outside the stage appears in the SWF when opened in a browser.  None of the solutions have worked for me.  My file is called statement_onlineheader.fla.  It can be seen here http://www.mediafire.com/?yrmgnoynihw.  Anyone know why this does not work for me?
    I have my mask layer above a folder containing all other layers.  I have also tried moving the mask layer above individual layers.  Same result.  Stuff outside the stage appears in the exported SWF.

    Very true.  So what do you think is wrong with my file?  The top layer is marked "Mask" when I control-click it, and it doesn't matter if I put it over an individual layer or not.  The top layer is a rectangle the size of the stage, yet this layer (which is checked as a mask) does not mask what is below it.

    Hi,
    Are you sure that you set your Mask layer to a Mask? Double
    click the icon int he right of the Layer name and set the Layer
    type to a mask.
    And regarding the Fade, I guess you may miss some thing, let
    me know the steps you have done to create your Fade effect?
    hope this helps

  • Clipping Mask is NOT working

    This is so strange , i can't get the clipping mask feature to work on my pc. I tried it on another one and it worked.
         This is before i apply the mask to my rectangle.
         After i apply it , the image dissapears and nothing else happens.
    I've been trying for 4 hours to fix this and it keeps refusing to work properly.

    Without trying to analyze just what you're doing with the clipping mask functionality, an initial response:
    If it fails for you on one computer but not another, assuming you're doing exactly the same things to the same file, that says there's a problem with the computer.
    Try disabling OpenGL Drawing temporarily in the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu.
    If that works around the issue, go to the web site of the maker of your video card and download and install an updated video driver.  Assuming your video card is still being supported by the manufacturer, updated video drivers usually solve strange display issues like this.

    Hello Joe,
    Funny enough, I was just about to run this test and happened to check with another tech about this.  Apparently another customer had gotten in touch with us regarding the same issue and after confirming this, found that it is a bug.  As such, this has been logged and we should hopefully see a fix for it in our future updates.

  • Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 windows 7 - 64 bit. only key not working

    Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 Windows 7 - 64 bit. The Windows key is the only key not working.

    Thanks for the information,
    I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue. My first suggestion would be to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard.
    Follow these steps to do that:
    Click the "Start Menu"
    Type "Device" in the search box under all programs
    Select "Device Manager"
    Click "Keyboards"
    Remove all devices under keyboards by right clicking and selecting" uninstall" on each device
    Restart the computer
    How long has the button not been working?
    Are there any other keys not working or producing the wrong character?

  • InCopy CS5.5 update content does not work

    I am an editor using InCopy for editing my magazine. I only have InCopy. My art director who uses the full InDesign suite, and I work remotely. She sends InCopy files to me via Dropbox. When she makes changes to the files, my content update does not work. It is shaded grey. It worked a couple of times and then stopped. Does my art director need to do something on her end to ensure I can update content in files she sends to me?
    Thanks for any help someone can provide.

    Hi and thanks for the quick reply.
    This is the problem:
    My art director is using Indesign to create Incopy files for me to edit. We
    both are working from remote locations and are using Dropbox (remote server)
    to store our files. We have been having some problems... When my art
    director changes an image I do not see the image change/update on my end.
    How do we solve this problem?
    We are both using the latest version of the software she is using InDesign
    CS5.5 and I'm using InCopy CS5.5.
    Thanks for your help.
