CS6 Workspace Issue

I recently installed CS6 on my PC. (I had been using CS5 and it still has CS5 installed as well.) The issue is that every time I open or start a project, my customized workspace is messed up. All the panels just cluster on top of each other in the middle of the screen. I have to rearrange the entire workspace and resave it. This happens every time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mike.

Can't help directly, but in case this is a save (permissions) issue, do the below

    Will Adobe develop a patch for pixelated CS6 workspace on retina display?

    You can believe what you like, but it won't change the truth.
    CS6 is a Cocoa application, and Retina support requires Carbon (or the other way around, I'm a Windows user). It's not a matter of adding a few lines of code to make the change, it required rewriting the entire program from the ground up.

  • Premiere Pro cs6 - Workspace video pane remains blank when trying to view imported files

    Hello,
    I'm currently working in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. When I import my media into my workspace and drag it onto the timeline, the preview box where you can review your cut video remains black. Double clicking on the imported file gives the same result. I was initially importing .jpg files (about 300kb size for each) so I tried importing various other image formats - .png, .tiff, etc... I have even imported a movie file into my scene to determine whether the issue was with my content format. With the video, the audio plays fine, but the video remains blank in the preview box. I have tried rendering my workspace and changing my initial project settings, but to no avail. I went into my preferences for Premiere and from what I can determine, everything looks fine.
    I'm running the software on an HP Pavilion, Windows 7 intel i7, 8gb ram, with a nvidia 650M 2GB card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Have you tried to change your Video Renderer? It would be under Project > Project Settings > General. Switch the option to Mercury Playback Engine software only and see if it helps.
    Thanks,

  • Illustrator CS6 Workspace Stops Working within a day or 2

    Hi,
    I'm starting to get very aggravated with Illustrator CS6 (Mac) -- every day or 2, it stops working after opening 1 file. I clear the prefs, cache, etc. and it will work again for another day or 2.
    It seems to be the Workspace I've created, but that's just a guess.
    As of today, I won't create another workspace and see if that really is the issue -- everything was working well up until about a week ago and then nothing but problems -- and I have been using the same Workspace for at least a year.
    Anyone else have any other suggestions?
    Oh, and I've also re-installed Illustrator CS6, which didn't help.
    Many thanks for any and all suggestions!

    Thanks for replying, Scott.
    1) File > Open = nothing happens. No file opens and no error message.
    2) Dragging a fle to the AI icon = same as above.
    3) Files are local.
    4) I haven't tried booting into Safe Mode because that would mean I'd have to work in Safe Mode for days on end. This weird problem occurs either same day or, when using Essentials now, 5 days later. It would be impossible to get any work done in Safe Mode.
    5) I'm logged in as admin and will certainly try logging out the next time it happens.
    I really don't want to trash my prefs every day or clear the cache so frequently -- it will take me three times as long to work on any files as you can hopefully appreciate.
    I also tried removing the internet connection which seemed to work as well, or it was a coincidence -- I am a fully registered customer and have been since Aldus! I'll have to try it again the next time. But again, doing this every time I need to work on files is going to get old very quickly.

  • Why is adobe premiere cs6 workspace replaced with full black screen?

    Windows 7 Pro.  AMD 3.2 Ghz hexacore, 16 Gb RAM, tons of HD space. Nvidia GPU 470 with Cuda. Dual screen
    Adobe Premiere pro CS6.
    Usually Premiere works fine and i have no problems. However sometimes when I work, I suddendly get a dual black screen. No matter where I click with mouse, the monitors remain black.
    The only way I found to go around is to call Task Manager, then the task bar opens again at the bottom of main screen and by clicking on Premiere icon (which I permanently have there), I can get again my workspace.
    Did others get the same issue, which can be a real nuisance?

    Right click in any open area of the Windows desktop
    Select NVIDIA Control Panel from the popup window
    Select SYSTEM INFORMATION at the lower left corner

  • CS6 Workspaces Pixelated

    I purchased my MacBook Pro with Retina Display in Dec 2012 as well as the Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. I noticed straight away how pixelated the entire workspace for InDesign and Bridge appeared (all menus, palettes, page graphics, fonts, everything!). I spoke with an Adobe Support Specialist over the phone and was told to download an the newest trial version of each program because it contained an update needed to fix this retina display compatibility issue. Nothing has worked and, a year and a half later, I'm still searching for a solution. As a professional graphic designer, this has been a huge source of frustration! Please help!

    It should have been done as soon as retina first came out. Pitiful...
    Why? Your blame is misplaced. "Retina" is Apple's doing.
    Companies like Adobe make business decisions based on "business case." There's no business case in adapting a product you no longer make to Apple's latest scam. If history is any indicator, no doubt there will be another one right behind it. Why would any company allow another to dictate its product cycles? Making InDesign CC Retina-compliant was a major undertaking that required re-coding from the ground up. Why would any company go backwards and completely remake an out-of-production product?
    What you want is tantamount to demanding that Honda dismantles and rebuilds your 2008 Accord so that your new 20-inch wheels will fit.
    And since it's another automotive analogy...
    Why is everything pixelated and blurry in CS6?

  • CS6 installation issues on my desktop, but not my laptop?

    I recently purchased CS6 Production Premium, and am attempting to install it. I've installed Premiere on my laptop, as that and Affter Effects are the only programs I would conceivably need on it; the bulk of the programs are for my desktop computer.
    However, upon attempting to install, I get the "Installer failed to initialize" error. I know that there are questions relating to this already, but I feel that the two-computer scenario gives me enough info that the issue should be significantly narrowed down.
    If it helps, here are the potentially-relevant differences between the two computers:
    1) The desktop is 2009 and originally ran Vista, but now runs 7. The laptop is newer and runs 7.
    2) The desktop already has Adobe Flash CS3 installed; Flash CS6 is incidentally included in this new package.
    I'm kind of expecting that the presence of Flash CS3 is the main impediment to installing, but that's speculation on my part. Any thoughts on the issue? Would uninstalling Flash CS3 resolve this?

    I checked my specs, and everything seems to be fine. The only things it doesn't meet are the recommendations for Adobe SpeedGrade, which I don't plan on using.

  • Windows 8 Release Preview/Photoshop CS6 Licensing issue

    I bought and installed Photoshop CS6 on Windows Consumer Preview and it worked flawlessly. I then installed Windows 8 Release Preview. This had to be a clean install. I didn't know I had to deactivate Photoshop before doing the clean install. Installed without a problem. Now when I try and run CS6 it says that the license has expired. I have done all the web and Adobe support told me to do but still has the same issue. Other than waht this article says: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-licensing-product-expired-cs4.html Adobe support isn't interested in helping.
    Can anybody help?

    I do know there's at least one person on this forum who is using Windows 8 (Kelly is I believe his name) and has gotten Photoshop activated properly.
    I've been testing Windows 8 for the past several days (in virtual machines).  Microsoft has actually made it worse to use in the release version.  They've completely removed Aero Glass, for example, so now everything just looks flat and lifeless.  I've written a book that describes how to configure and augment the OS so as to get work done with it.  But I'm not sure people are going to want to upgrade to it wiith it looking this bad!
    Have you tried removing Photoshop CS6 and using the Creative Suite Removal Tool to clean remnants of it up, then reinstalling?  I'm sure the telephone support people would have suggested that; I'm just confirming.
    Only thing I can imagine is that Windows 8's UAC system is somehow getting in the way of Photoshop retaining its activation data.  It's no longer possible, using the Windows 8 UI, to completely disable UAC, though it is still possible to do it through registry manipulation (something best done by power users and system gurus).  If one does apps will no longer run in the "UI formerly known as Metro" - which suits me fine, but may not be good for most folks.
    Have you tried running the installer As Administrator?

  • InDesign CS6 PDF Issue: Unsearchable PDF document

    Hello all,
    I have an issue that I've exhausted with days of Google searches. I have a text catalog created with ID CS6. Sections were PDF documents given to me from our engineering department. The book was created, exported and all went well until I found out that when I try to copy and paste the text into Microsoft Word or Note Pad, I get a lot of small boxes in place of the letters. When I try to search the text in Adobe Reader, I can't find words which I can see are there.
    This is the first catalog I've created in CS6. Previous catalogs created in the exact same manner in CS4 & CS2 do not have this issue. I thought it could have been the infamous Arial Narrow font issue and researched that to death.
    Any ideas would be most helpful. This is a 1300 page catalog that customers cannot search.

    1. LAUNCH Adobe Acrobat
    2. Using the File menu, OPEN the corrupted document. (I don't know what to do if you're not even able to open the file. Sorry!)
    3. (VERIFY that Acrobat can't search the document, in case you haven't done so, just to avoid unnecessary work.)
    4. EXPORT: Once the document is open, use the File menu again, and choose EXPORT / IMAGE / PNG. Your corrupted pdf will be saved as a series of images with the file extension ".png", one for each page of the pdf document. Don't worry, they will be numbered automatically by Acrobat, and they aren't terribly large. My document was 200 pages long, so I got 200 little image files in .png format. The export may take a couple of minutes. You won't get any further signals from Adobe to tell you it's done--just go look in the directory that contains the original and see if it made png files with names like:
    chemistryBook_Page_001.png
    chemistryBook_Page_002.png
    5. COLLECT: Once you have the image files, collect them all by cut and paste into their own directory.
    6. OCR: Under the Document menu, choose OCR TEXT RECOGNITION / RECOGNIZE TEXT IN MULTIPLE FILES USING OCR
    7. ADD FILES: You will be shown a dialog box with the title "Paper Capture Multiple Files" with the subtitle "Run OCR on a set of images. There is a button that says "Add Files". Click this button, choose ADD FOLDERS, and browse to the folder that contains your png files. Highlight that file, click OK. The files will then appear within this dialog box. Make sure that the files are in the proper order, or you will be sad. Click OK.
    8. CHOOSE OUTPUT OPTIONS: Now you will get a dialog box entitled "Output Options". You have several choices to make here:
    TARGET FOLDER: Click "Specific Folder", then Browse to your folder full of images, click "Make New Folder", name the folder (something like "CHEMISTRYBOOKIMAGEFILES" so you can find it easily and know what is in it, click OK.
    FILE NAMING: Click "Keep Original File Names". This will preserve Acrobat's automatic numbering of your files--you will need that to get the page ordering right! UNcheck "Overwrite existing files" just to avoid a terrible mishap, unless you are very pressed for disc space or unless this is your 5th time attempting to follow these instructions and you've already got 'way too many duplicates of the output files. If you have the disc space, just make new empty folder for your 6th try.
    OUTPUT FORMAT: Select "Save File(s) as Adobe PDF. Click OK.
    Now wait for Adobe to execute optical character recognition on the image files. Its output will be one little pdf file for each little image file that it OCR's.
    9. COLLATE THE FILES INTO ONE: Under the File menu, select COMBINE / MERGE FILES INTO A SINGLE PDF. This step is optional; maybe you wanted a bunch of little files, or maybe you wanted to divide your enormous original document into 2 or 3 more manageable documents. To divide the file, just make a separate directory for the png files you want in each smaller final document, and repeat steps 6 through 9 for each directory. BE CAREFUL WITH NAMING! Make sure you choose a unique name, because if you got something wrong, you will want to be able to go back to your original corrupted pdf and try again. If your original is named "CHEMISTRY.PDF", please remember to name this new file something like "CHEMISTRY-FIXED.PDF".
    If you really despise pdf, you can try using different output formats in Step 8. I do hate pdf, but I chose pdf for two reasons: one is that I had more confidence that that pdf would retain important features like charts and graphs and labeled photos in my document. The other is that I was so so so so SO tired of doing all this pdf crap instead of the chemistry work that I'd gotten the ebook to help me with that I didn't want to do anything fancy with file formats at this point. Let me know if you try output to rtf or ascii and get good results.
    10. TEST: Open the merged document(s) in all of the pdf readers and web browsers you will want to use with it, and try searching with it. Use your file browser and try to search for text in the directory with a word you know the file contains. Searchable? Good job, you're done, cheers!
    Not searchable? Oh noes! Check that you opened the correct document (maybe you opened the original by mistake). Try the entire process again. If that doesn't help, try the entire process again, but output to plain text this time. My apologies, but, being a complete newbie myself, I have no further advice on this topic.
    NB! My output PDF is of rather low quality. It looks like it was literally scanned from a 10th-iteration paper copy. Don't know how to fix that, after the fact or somewhere in the above process. It's good enough, so I'm just dealing with the shakey blurriness. I seem to remember somewhere that I could choose a high quality output, but, again, I didn't want to do anything fancy with vectors and rostering and layers and other terms that I don't know before I verified that I could do something basic and get back to chemistry asap.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 File Issues

    Hello all, I just upgraded to the Creative Cloud on my PC, downloaded PS CS6 - Bridge and Camera Raw.  I'm configuring and working with CR2 files, no problem, however, Bridge will not let me delete, rename or update the metadata of my jpgs.
    Any suggestions?
    Captain

    Curt, I'm running Windows 7 with 4 GB RAM - mother board won't support more than that.  I don't think permissions is the problem - same internal drive and the .CR2's work fine.  I can delete bad ones, batch rename and update the metadata no problem, it's just the jpegs.
    OK, I have the same setup on another computer - same Bridge version, no problems with the Jpegs.  Issue here is, it's the backup computer and not my digital processing one with all the necessary drives.
    Both computers are running Win 7 SP1 with 4 GB RAM 3.0 GHz processors.  Only difference is the digi system has 2 monitors.
    Where would I check about "Read Only" for just the jpgs?

  • Bridge CS6 workspaces suddenly greyed; content panel is only active item

    I am running CS6 and OS X 10.8.5. Everything was fine, and today suddenly Bridge has stopped working properly. Under the Window menu, workspaces are greyed. Under the View menu, As thumbnails, As details, As list are greyed/disabled.
    Bridge appears to be locked into the Light Box workspace, except that there is no preview panel. The only panel available is the Content panel; when I select one or more files, there is/are no previews.
    This is what the window looks like.
    So far, these are the things I have tried, to no avail:
    I have restarted the computer, restarted Bridge, I have purged the cache, disabled startup scripts.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated.

    First try to delete the Bridge plist file from the user library.
    Quit Bridge and go to the user library (by default hidden per OSX10.7, use menu Go with option to reveal).
    User (your user name) / library/ Preferences / inhere find and manual delete the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist".
    Again hold down option key while restart and again reset prefs.
    If this is not working I'm afraid you have to reinstall Bridge CS6. First be sure you have backed up your keyword list if you have one and also look in the aforementioned user library but now Application Support / Adobe/ Bridge CS6. Copy this folder and content to a back up place for security. Inhere all are sort of custom settings including your custom workspaces, so if needed you can copy some of these setting back to the same folders and location of your new install.
    Repeat this also for Photoshop (both same library / app support and preferences) for back up security of your custom settings because Bridge is part of PS install in CS6.
    Be sure to have your install disk or image file for PSCS6 at hand including the serial number. Use the official uninstaller and once you are doing so also try the Adobe Cleaner Tool :
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  (read the instructions carefully before acting).
    Run Apple disk utility to check and repair permissions and then reinstall PSCS6 that also installs Bridge CS6. Run the updaters and try again.
    And a final thought, before doing the above create a new user account for testing and see if this helps. Sometimes User Accounts get corrupted and Bridge is very sensitive for that. MacOsX recovery disk can help to recreate the problem user account.

  • Indesign CS6 Font issue after saving

    I have had this issue come up about about 4 times since I have been running CS6.
    When I open a customers document everything is fine no errors. I save it the same way I do the rest of the 30 jobs a day. When I re open the fonts will not load. If I open the customers document again it is fine and all fonts work, this cause problems because all of th changes that have been done need to be redone, because the only way I have found to fix this is to save over it with a new copy of the customers files.
    I am running CS^ creative suite on a intel 27" iMac OS 10.7.3
    The file is being saved to a prinergy job server not sure what version of server software that is running. We have at least 30 jobs sometimes over 45 indesign jobs a day getting processed and it only seems to be a couple. I tried restarting indesign then the computer but no luck. If I have my troubled document open and the find font window open it shows that there are fonts not available, I then open the customers document and everythign is fine. With both documents open at the same time I can toggle between them and see the fonts are there for 1 but not the other.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you working with a Packaged file? If so, the problem is probably that youare moving the file out of the directory that holds the Document Fonts folder that is part of the package, or saving with a new name.
