CS6 won't let me resize large images?

I'm using Photoshop CS6 to assemble and export a series of extremely high-res tiles. Long story short, they will be used to make up a large map in a mobile app.
I have a pretty tight deadline and I've just been stopped in my tracks by an error I get when I try to scale them up.
Each tile is a layered PSB file, 16384 x 16384px at 72dpi, about 2-3GB in size. All I want to do is scale them up to double their size - 32768 x 32768px.
When I try to do this, I receive the error, 'Could not complete the Image Size command because the result would be too big'.
What exactly does this mean in terms of size (filesize or pixel dims)? What's the problem?
Since I'm working in PSB format and I'm resizing within the bounds of the 300,000px limit, I don't understand why I'm not permitted to scale up to 32768px.
I need to preserve the layers as Smart Objects in order to upscale them... so no flattening.
All I can think of is splitting the files into smaller tiles, but that will probably drive me crazy (I currently have 28 tiles to upscale).
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Yep - it was a combination of a large background layer and a huge vector mask extending way beyond the canvas.
Thanks! I can now successfully get my tiles to the size I wanted.

Photoshop CS5 crashing my Mac when resizing large images

I don't have much to explain this further but Photoshop CS5 is crashing my Mac when I resize large images. Small images are fine but large 300dpi images crashes it without warning. Don't know what to do. The only other similar thing is After Effects CS5 is crashing my Mac when I trim a clip. It completely turns off my Mac when I trim a clip.
I have 8gigs of Ram and am running 27" iMac Core i5
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Hal

Hi Wendy
Thank you for your insights. We are having the same problems here.
It's been a headache as we bought two 27" iMacs in March 2011; and we've had even BOTH iMacs exchanged.
After exchanging, same thing happened. We then got all 16GB of RAM on each iMac replaced.
But we noticed that the auto-shutdown problem happens with files on 300dpi. We are contemplating on changing them to 299dpi though haha!
Unfortunately, here in Singapore, we don't have a physical Apple store. We only have Premium Resellers.
And the other unfortunate thing is, when RAMs are upgraded these Premium Resellers sell 3rd party RAMs.
I supposed we'll have to deal with this for now until we have enough funds to replace ALL 32 RAMs to original Apple RAMs (which will cost abt another USD1600!!) ..
Hope this forum helps others as much as it finally helped me understand the issue we're having.

My selection tool stopped working, it won't let me resize objects. Yes, show bounding box is on. Please help

The selection tool won't let me resize objects. I have read different forums where they all say I just have to show bounding box, but not even this works. I have been using Illustrator for a long time and never had this problem before. Please help me fix this

kimoen,
In addition to what Larry said, the Adobe team are working on the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks).
So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now, if that is an option, in which case you should reinstall after upgrading the OS.
But you may get round it in a couple of ways while using your present OS.
In each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool.
A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet (works fine with IE)

Ok...Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet. It will let me right click on the image, but I won't let me choose a file type..like jpeg.
I couldn't figure it out so i completely uninstalled firefox then reinstalled. I'm still having the same problems.
I can save images normally with IE.

How to resize large images without losing quality

Hello I have an image that I am trying to use as an email. Right now it is 2108 pixels. And for an email it should be 600 px. I created this image in illustrator as vectors and type.
Whenever I go into image size and i change it to be 600 pixels it gets extremely blurry. I have also tried converting this to a smart object... doesnt work. How do I resize my large image to be smaller without losing quality???

here is an example sceenshot of the opening dialog (.ai opened directly in Photoshop)
your illustrator vector should be rastered sharp at 100% actual Pixels in Photoshop
that is where you want to evaluate sharpness in Photoshop...
then File> Save for Web & Devices (and drag that saved file icon into an open web browser)
still no joy, embed your saved image here using the forum's camera icon...

OS X Lion won't let me resize partitions

I've install OS X Lion a different partition successfully. After realizing that I loved Lion I wanted to downsize my Snow Leopard partition I succesfully do that but now it won't let me expand my Lion partition!
HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!!

I had the same problem too. I had upgraded Snow Leopard to Lion, but then found out some of my apps would not run in Lion. So i created another partition and installed Snow Leopard on it so I could dual boot between Lion and Snow Leopard. The problem was that I didn't leave enough room on my Lion partition to work with some video editing I was doing. So I tried to enlarge my Lion partition and reduce my Snow Leopar partition but had no success.
I thought that if I deleted my Snow Leopard partition that I would be able to resize my Lion partition to use the entire drive. That didn't work.
So I tried to boot from the Lion Recovery Partition, but when I tried to apply the changes of resizing my Lion partition it would fail withe a message that it couldn't unmount the drive.
But here is what I did that FINALLY worked (and this was while booted into my normal Lion partition):
Enter the following command into Terminal
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1
Open Disk Utility
Now there is a DEBUG menu at the top. Go DEBUG and select SHOW EVERY PARTITION
Now you will see the RECOVERY HD partition under your LION partition.
Select the RECOVERY HD partition and click MOUNT at the top
Now you can expand your LION partition
My guess is that since Disk Utility couldn't see the hidden recovery partition and since that partition is physically AFTER the Lion partition it could not resize. But by mounting the hidden Recover Partition, then Disk Utility was able to move the Recovery Partition and expand the Lion partition.
Now I just need to create a partian to reinstall snow leopard into ( I will make it smaller this time so I have more room on my Lion partition).
Hope this helps.
And here's a link to the article I used to find out how to show the hidden partion:

Help please...AE CS6 won't let me replace clips in the timeline

After Effects won't let me replace clips in the timeline.
I have selected the clip I want to replace.
I have selected the new clip in the project window.
I then option-drag the new clip to the timeline and it will only let me drop the clip in making a new track above or below the clip I want to replace.
It won't allow me to replace it.
I'm using CS6 on an iMAC 3.1 Intel Corei5 16GB RAM.
I've been using AE since 1996 and have not had this problem.
Can anyone help? ~ thanks!

This one actually shows the correct file highlighted in the project window - I'm trying to replace the png in the timeline with the AI file in the project window.

Resizing large images

This is probably a basic one for most people, but I'm pretty clueless... I've got a fairly large image (3000px) that I need to scale down to 500-ish px. How do I best go about doing this without getting that awful 'halo' effect? I've tried gradually scaling down without much success.

there are several options. if you want to save the image to be put on the web, you can go to File>save for web> and in the bottom corner manually enter the size. and it will keep the proportions that you want.
see below:
another way is to go to image>image size
try these as well:

Resize large images for web?

Man I feel so dumb having to post questions here, i really look to solve these myself and usually can in just about any software program i've used for 20 years, thats my only frustration with LR. The help system just hasn't been developed fully. Oh and thanks to all of you that help here and especially Ian Lyons for the Shortcuts pdf...what a life saver that is!
OKAY SO ON TO MY POST THIS WEEK> i was getting nice large size Web gallery images and now all of a sudden they are way too large for the client...where the heck do you adjust the size? "Image pages size" doesn't do it, seems like there should be something with "Large Images," but its only got quality, metadata and copyright.
Thanks in advance for whom ever lends a hand!

I'm pretty sure you had it right with the "Image pages" and the size slider. I am currently cranking out hundreds of images from a wedding shoot this weekend, and my "large" images are being produced at the 900 pixel max size I have in this dialog.
Set it to whatever you need, then click an image in your preview to see the size applied.
If all else fails - restart the app (but I'm sure you already tried that.)
peace,
Tormod

Firefox won't let most pages and images on common sites like photobucket

I use a Website everyday:
furry-paws.com
It won't load most images.
I also use:
photobucket.com
It refuses to load libraries and let me upload any photos.
It also wont load half of the pages I visit.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Premiere Elements 11 won't let me upload large youTube file?

I have a macbook pro, running OS X (version 10.8.5) w/ 8G. of memory and a 1TB HD. The video I'm trying to upload from elements is 1hr and 7 min and yes, I know the default is 15 min, but I noticed some vid's on youtube almost 2hrs or more. So I went to youtube and discovered you have to authorize your account in order to upload larger files. Did that successfully but elements 11 still will not let me upload my video? I keep getting the error message that I have exceeded the max upload limit for youtube. Is that a default message that can't be change? At the present, I'm saving my video to a file on my mac and will try to upload it to youtube directly w/out using premiere. My question, is there a way to bypass this default setting or will I only be able to upload a 15 min video? I tried all settings to upload it from premeire, from the youtube flash video (lowest setting) to the 1080p HD setting. Stil, it keeps telling me it's too big.

FrankWhite
Thanks for the reply.
Just in case mention...this is not Adobe. Rather user to user forum. The Premiere Elements' built in YouTube feature limit has never gone over 15 minutes. So, I see no rationale in you moving to any other version to gain an extended time advantage for the Premiere Elements feature. When you go to set up the YouTube feature in Premiere Elements, you see the limits posted and the setup fails if you use an extended time account previously setup at YouTube.
The situation has been such for years. And, it is my understanding that, even at YouTube web site, the limit is 15 minutes unless you have an extended time account there.
If you want to address this matter to Adobe, you could file one of those Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Forum.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I am not affiliated with Adobe in any way and have no insider information on this long time matter of Premiere Elements and its non use of YouTube extended time accounts.

Selection Tool Won't Let Me Resize Text Boxes?

Whenever I try to resize a text box with the selection tool, it won't allow me to resize. I tried the text tool as well, but it didn't work. I don't want to resize the text, just show text that is hidden. I'm crrently using CS4. Can someone help?

If this is really an area text, then maybe you've just hidden the bounding box. See in View menu how to show it again.

Photo CS6 won't let me drag my photo to a blank canvas

I try to put it on the blank canvas and it won't. Nothing pops up saying it can't. It just won't go on the canvas. I'm new to photoshop so if anyone knows how to help please be detailed. Thank you!

What is the Mode of the blank canvas? It needs to something like sRGB if it is a colour image you are trying to add to the canvas.
Is the image also open in Photoshop, or are you trying to drag it from outside Photoshop, and if so, where from?
What operating system are you using? (Windows 7? Apple 10.???
