Droplets not working :( LR, Photoshop CS4, Windows 7

Hi all,
I'm trying to get my computer back to how it was before I installed Windows 7 and there's one thing I can't get working: my sharpen droplets, created in CS4.
Before they would all work (in LR2 and LR3beta) but now they won't work.
I've tried this process:
1.)  Open the Control Panel / User Accounts / Change User Account Control settings
2.)  Drop the slider bar all the way to the bottom to "Never Notify"
3.)  Open Photoshop and create your droplets
4.)  Right-click on each droplet and select "Properties"
5.)  Click on the "Compatibility" tab
6.)  Check the "Run this program as an administrator" box
7.)  Click "Change settings for all users"
8.)  Check the other "Run this program as an administrator" box
9.)  "OK" to exit both windows
10) Go back to the Control Panel / User Accounts / Change User Account Control settings
11.) Slide the bar back to where you had your security settings (usually at the default setting)
11) Restart Photoshop
However, while it will now at least RUN the droplet from within LR (ie. it will boot Photoshop), it now comes up with an error "feather command not available" while trying to run it. I don't even use feather in the actio! All it does is a duplicate layer smart sharpen, convert to profile, a save and a close.
Does anyone have any idea? It's SO annoying...
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Phil

That did it! Thanks so much! I thought I had tried that already, but it's definitely working now.

  • Fill not working in Photoshop CC - Windows 7

    Suddenly having an issue where the "Fill" command is not working. It doesn't matter if I use Shift+Backspace or Shift+F5 or by going to Edit>Fill. It goes through the motions and the Fill action is recorded in the history panel, but the layer is not filled. The only way I've successfully filled is with the Paint Bucket, and that's just not as convenient.

  • OpenGL not working with Photoshop CS4 on MacPro + ATI X1900XT

    Hi,
    i am running a MacPro 2x2 2.66 Ghz with 12GB Ram, an ATI X1900 XT 512MB and a GeForce 7300GT. The ATI is in Slot 1. Connected to the ATI card is an Apple CD 30", connected to the GeForce is an Apple CD 23" and a Sanyo TV-LCD.
    *The problem:* when running Photoshop CS4 (Beta) i can not enable OpenGL as Photoshop does not recognise any video card (selectable under PSCS4/Preferences/Performance/...).
    Adobe says in a TechNote (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405711&sliceId=1#mac) that this card should be working. The ROM of the ATI is up-to-date.
    What - or where - else could i change something to get this to work? Any hint?
    Thank you.

    Like some of the other posters, I have a MacPro with two video cards, the ATI X1900XT and the OEM graphics card. I bought the ATI to drive a 30" display. I have been using the OEM card to drive the Wacom. When I learned of bird's eye view in CS4, I too looked in preferences for the OpenGL status and found it disabled. Following the above suggestions regarding the potential two card confusion, I moved the Wacom to the remaining open spot on the X1900XT and removed the OEM card.
    Voila! OpenGL became available in CS4 preferences and I also noticed a significant improvement in the screen redraw rate (I went into the advanced options when turning OpenGL on and also checked use for image drawing). Bird's eye view is also an excellent feature which I will use constantly. Note: To use bird's eye you must hold down the "H" key (even if the hand tool is selected). While holding the "H", start to drag the mouse and the image will zoom out to show you where you are in the scaled down image. Makes the Navigator view obsolete.

  • X230 stylus not working in Photoshop on Windows 8

    I've been using Adobe Photoshop CS6 for several months now, since I got my computer. It worked just fine on Windows 7, the operating system that was on my device. However, after I installed Windows 8 (on a separate hard drive partition), the stylus does not work correctly. I can only paint/erase/edit in any way one pixel at a time, and then Photoshop stops responding to touch input. When I go to use the mouse, it jumps and makes a huge line all the way across the screen to seemingly random points. I realise that I could just switch to the other hard drive to use Photoshop, but that seems like an awfully lot of hassle just to draw. I'm going to try a few more things after posting this, but if anyone else has experienced or found a solution to this problem, I'd like to know. 
    System Detalis:
    Model: 3434 CTO
    Operating System: Windows 8
    Screen type: Wide-view 1366x768 Gorilla Glass (the one that supports only stylus input, not multitouch)
    As far as I know, I have all the drivers related to this from Lenovo installed. I'll edit this if I find a solution or some detail I missed about the problem.

    Most of the problems come from the abomination Microsoft calls a browser---Internet Exploder 11.
    IE has always been the problem child of browsers, but 11 has got to be the biggest pile of garbage to come out of Redmond, WA since Vista. They rewrote the "User-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browswer and provide the proper content for it, like ActiveX specific things. Some sites now ID it as Gecko (Firefox) while others ID it as Webkit (Chrome or Safari). Problem is, that when the content is adjusted for those User-Agent Strings, it REQUIRES the appropriate browser engine, which IE doesn't have (it uses Trident). EVERYTHING falls apart after that.
    So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using a different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • ESC key does not work when Photoshop CS4 is opened

    Hi everyone!
    It seems that everytime my Photoshop CS4 is opened, my ESC key ceases to function. When I close the PS, it starts to function again. Running Windows 7 64-bit. I've tried cleaning my registry and reloading PS. Not that critical, but it got me to notice that I use my ESC key more often than I thought
    Any thought?
    Thanks!

  • Save for web preview not working in Photoshop CS4

    Hello all.
    I'm having a problem with Save for Web in Photoshop 11.0.2. Basically, whenever I move to save an image using "Save for Web & Devices," the preview window is stuck in GIF mode. I can move the Preset settings to any of the choices, and also change to any of the 5 image types underneath, but only a GIF setting at 100% dither/Selective palette/256 colors preview will show in the preview window.
    I have trashed both the Adobe Save for Web 11.0 Prefs and the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist files, and have repaired permissions, but this doesn't resolve the problem.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
    --jody radzik.

    I fixed the problem by erasing "Save for Web" from within Photoshop rather than outside in the file tree.

  • Text tool not working in photoshop cs4

    I'm on a Macbook Pro running snow leopard, and for some reason, the text tool won't let me change the color of a text to anything outside of greyscale. For example, I select the text, click on the 'change color' box, select red, and press OK. But the box does not indicate red, but gray instead. If it means anything, my MBP also has the 9600 discrete GPU, and have tried switching it to use that as opposed to the 9400, but it didn't help.

    Starting with the basic, I assume your document is in RGB or CMYK, and not Grayscale?

  • Droplets not working

    Hi all,
    I am running CS2 on Windows 7 and I have created a droplet. These droplets do not work. I drag files on to them, PS gains focus and the icon flashes briefly in the task bar but the file does not open. If I right click on the droplet and change compatibility to XP2 and run as administrator then the droplet works but each time I drag a file onto the droplet the screen dims and confirms I want to allow changes to be made. This goes away if I set my UAC setting to minimum but I'd rather not do that.
    Has anyone found a way to make droplets work with Photoshop under Windows 7?
    Thanks for any help,
    Phil

    Most certainly not a LR-specific problem. Might be an issue with
    different versions of PS which had/have been installed on your system.

  • New fonts not working in photoshop...

    I have installed new fonts on my mac but they will not work in Photoshop.. can somoene help me? I don't know if I have done something wrong or need to take another step.. I am running CS4 and OS 10.6.4. The message I get when I try to use a font I recently installed is "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being intitalized."

    Most likely you have some corrupt fonts installed.
    Try validating the fonts using FontBook to find the most obvious problems.

  • Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

    logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
    I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
    Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
    any ideas?

    Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based.  Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
    Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop.  This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

  • Uploading files to website not working with Safari in Windows 7

    Safari version: 5.1.7
    OS: Windows 7
    Hi,
    I am a website owner, and I have a feature on my site where users can upload large (up to 50MB) music files to my server. The feature works in Firefox on OSX & Windows platforms and it also works in Safari on OSX. The uploading feature is not working with Safari for Windows. Do you have any idea why and how to fix this? It can't be an issue with my server as it works in other browsers fine and works fine in Safari for OS X.
    If you have any information on how to solve this or things for me to try to rectify this for use with Windows operating system it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    GREAT NEWS!!!!
    I have solved this issue myself with some help from my a user on Microsoft Forums. The issue stems from the mime type of each Browser Chrome, IE, & Safari for Windows defaults as audio/wav. When the mime type is changed to audio/x-wav everything works. Firefox defaults to audio/x-wav and when changed to audio/wav it DOES NOT work.
    Once I input some code in my .php upload page to change the mimetype if audio/wav is detected everything works GREAT!!!
    So Here is what you need to do: Find your upload page and input this code:
    echo "<p>MIME Type: ".$_FILES["file"]["type"]."</p>";   
    right before your "If/then" statement of file type. For me it was near line 30 in my upload.php page, but I'm sure this is different for everyone.
    This will detect and DISPLAY the default mime type of your browser on the error page when your upload doesn't work. Once you know what mime type works for your file type then you can change your "if/then" statement for mime type upload to change your mime type to the correct one.
    I don't want to give the code here, because I'm sure it's specific to your file types and your site construction, but this should lead you on the right track.
    ***This is the solution if you ARE NOT ABLE to upload any certain file in a certain Browser. It has to do with mime type construction***
    I hope this helps others like it helped me!!!!!

    ValentinT, welcome to the forum.
    There are no drivers available for Windows 8.  I suggest checking in the Control Panel/Sound/Recording to assure that your microphone is selected.  It seems that the Sound is one area that gets changed when updating to Win 8.1.  At least, this is what happened to me.
