Editing Menus and Bottons in Photoshop

I'm using the Tryout version 2.0 (my first experience with Encore). Whenever I try to edit a menu or button (Control+Shift+M), I get an error message stating that "Could not edit in Photoshop. Does not appear to be installed." I am currentlly running Photoshop CS2. Apparently, Encore has not found the location of the CS2 executable (despite the fact that it's in the same Adobe folder). I've looked for options to manually set the location to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Adding menus and submenus to Photoshop

Hello,
Is it possible to add a menu and several submenus to this menu under, for example, the Photoshop main “window” menu?. It is possible to add then dynamically?
Thank you very much.

May I add that companies who have tried to hack such functionality in have typically royally messed up the Photoshop UI.

Edits, Actions and Plugins in Photoshop CS6 not showing

I bought a new computer and Adobe was nice enough to transfer all of my products to the new laptop without charging me. Things seemed to be great for 3 weeks and now when I create a layer mask, run an Action, or run Portraiture, etc it doesn't show up on my image. Anyone else have this problem and get a solution?

Nobody can know. "This doesn't work" posts are never a good way of asking for help. You have not provided any details about your system or your documents nor how the files were transferred. Chances are you missed or broke something or the plug-ins are not properly licensed and necessitate a reinstall.

Editing Menus in Encore CS3 with Photoshop 5.5

Realllllllly need someone's help on this. I'm new to Encore CS3, and bought it bundled with Premiere Pro CS3 which i really like. Now, i'm trying to use one of the pre-supplied menu templates in Encore, and tailor it to my specific video project by renaming the title and the buttons in the submenu for chapter selections. I read that all editing has to be done with Photoshop, and the only version of Photoshop that i have is 5.5. Will this work with Encore CS3? What is happening is that i am trying to get to the correct layer of the menu in Photoshop to change the text, and once i finish making the text changes, then i import the edited version back into Encore, but Encore then doesn't read the button choices when i try to link them to video. It's like the menu just died. So how in the world can i tailer the text on those supplied menu templates to my particular video? And does Photoshop 5.5 work with Encore CS3? I sure hope so, cuz i can't afford to buy more software! Thanks so much for whatever help anyone can give, i'm about ready to scream!

Hi Jbowden,
Thank you so much for answering, very much appreciated. Yes, i'm aware that many changes have taken place in all the more recent versions of Photoshop, but i was hoping that the older one would still work, and it looks like it should. It does seem to work in layers, in trying to read the manual. But the real surprise is what you mentioned, about being able to edit menus right in Encore, because the Encore manual seemed to indicate that editing could be done only in Photoshop. That's great news! I just now tried looking ath the Concore manual again, but how in the world do i do that? Say edit a button on a submenu that says "Episode 1" to read "Monday"? Or Chapter 1 instead? Or now would i edit the main name in the "Sunset" menu from "Inspiration" to something else? For the life of me, i just can't figure out how to do that! Forget motion and stuff, i'm just hoping to achieve a regular menu that i can author a DVD with! I've been using DVD IT up to this point, and the whole concept of each program seems to be radically different. Thanks so much for all your help!

Can i open and edit animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop Touch?

Can i open and edit animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop Touch?

No, only regular static GIF images are supported. The desktop version of Photoshop does support this however.

Is it possible to edit a DNG file in Photoshop and get back to Lightroom?

Hi,
The question title probably doesn't explain much what I'm looking for...
I shot in RAW and then converted to DNG, I like DNG and I can't understand what so many people have against it, anyway that's not the point...
I know have the DNG as my digital negative instead of the original RAW file and I start to do some editing in Lightroom. But then I realized that Lightroom is not enough for something I want to do. For instance, just today I had this picture I needed to remove some people and I had to use heal/clone but as you know, Lightroom's clone and heal features are not as flexible as Photoshop ones.
So now I needed to go into Photoshop, fix the photo and get back to Lightroom and continue my editing. However, I couldn't find a way to do it how I wanted to do... What I did was open the original (unedited) DNG in Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw pops up and I ignore it, remove the people from the photo and save as TIFF. Then, back in Lightroom I open the new edited TIFF and copy Lightroom's settings from one photo (the DNG) to the other (the edited TIFF).
This workflow sucks and I know there are some options in Lightroom to automate it, but still, I don't think it would solve my problem. At least I couldn't find a way to do it...
What I wanted to do instead was to indeed remove that people from the photo with Photoshop but keep those changes in DNG. But take a note here that those changes could very much be destructive, I'm not talking about ACR or Lightroom's non-destructive editing, the removed people would be gone forever unless I draw some new ones. I really wanted to edit and save some changes on the DNG in Photoshop and keep editing the DNG in Lightroom without using a TIFF in between, do everything in the DNG.
Is this possible or not at all?

sorry, no can do...ain't gonna happen.
What you've done is hit the wall on is the basic difference between lite duty spot healing and photo level tone and color correction (Lightroom and Camera Raw) and heavy duty pixel retouching in Photoshop.
When you need to substantially manipulate the "pixels" you need Photoshop and you'll be forced to render the raw file into a TIFF or PSD file either through Camera Raw or more better, via Lightroom.
You can do the basic tone and color correction directly in Lightroom and edit in Photoshop from Lightroom. But you will NEED to create and save out a "rendered" image that is no longer raw...then retouch to your heart's desire, save it and it'll be available in Lightroom along side your original raw if you choose.
But no, there's no way to open a raw in Photoshop, manipulate the heck out of it with massive retouching then save that back out as a raw file...ain't gonna happen.

I am unable to change location for editing photos. I tried the advanced drop down menu in iPhoto and have 2 locations for editing-iphoto and aperture. I want to add photoshop. Can anyone help? Thanks.

i cannot change editing location from aperture to photoshop in iphoto. i followed directions to advanced tab in iphoto and have 2 choices for editing photos-iphoto and aperture. any suggestions on how to change the sites? thanks.

Not sure why you would have Aperture there as it's not an editor.
To change, just select Aperture again, and this will give you the dialogue to change the choice.

My photo does show up when I click on "edit copy" or "edit original".
How can I correct that so that I can open up a photo from Lightroom WITH the Lightroom adjustments? Thanks!

I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.

Why is the Photoshop font size extremely small for their navigation menus and tools?

Why is the font size for the Photoshop Cloud navigation menus and tools displaying extremely small on my laptop? I can barely see them. The other Adobe Cloud applications don't display small.

Is a readable interface an unreasonable expectation?
Not at all, and we should well expect that Adobe is working on it. By their own admission they ARE working on it. I don't sense "deafening silence" at all. But results won't/can't be instantaneous and they're not going to promise you release dates. Life is not like that, no matter how many times you click your red shoes together.
It's not hard to understand that right now only a small minority of Photoshop users are running high dpi screens that can't take advantage of the 200% setting. And it was the choice of those users to buy such hardware even in light of the fact that Photoshop can't work fully well on it yet. Adobe didn't force anyone to buy a 150 ppi display.
Frankly, if you've chosen such hardware even though Photoshop doesn't offer 150% scaling, it's your own fault. I recently invested well over $1000 in a new monitor and I planned well enough ahead to buy a 100ppi model (Dell U3014, and it's GREAT). There's a reason that very new technology is called "bleeding edge". If you want "To Work" instead of "Dealing With Quirks", sometimes you have to be conservative.
A majority of Photoshop users DO expect new and useful features, however, such as new tools, new camera support in Camera Raw, etc., so Adobe understandably cannot dedicate every resource they have to revamping Photoshop's user interface just for a special few folks who have irresponsibly adopted new display technology.
We can debate all day how much Adobe ought to be spending on engineering development, but you and I don't run the company. We don't make business decisions for them. I do, however, claim to understand their capabilities and limitations - possibly better than most - because I'm in the same business.
I can only recommend you be patient. One day Photoshop will respond to your desktop settings.
What the heck has anybody ever accomplished here, with Adobe, in either fashion?
Rhetorical or not, some quite tangible things do come to mind...
At one time I couldn’t paste my clipboard containing a grayscale image into a new document via an action assigned to a key; the color engine would crash. Today I can do so without incident.
At one time multiple Help windows would pop up unexpectedly, often when working in the Styles panel. Today they don’t.
At one time I had to select Basic GPU mode. Today I use Advanced GPU mode without a problem.
Once running Liquify or Smart Sharpen or a number of other things were slow, especially on big images. Now they're quite fast, with GPU acceleration.
At one time an action could not write data back to a document when in windowed mode. Today it works.
At one time panorama stitching and focus stacking did not work. Now it works.
At one time most filters only worked on 8 bits/channel data. Now many of them can handle 16 bits/channel.
Once naysayers predicted that the Photoshop Photography bundle would shoot up in price. Yet today it's still $9.99 a month.
Once it was impossible to read Photoshop's UI on a 200+ ppi screen. Now there's a new 200% setting for that.
I'm sure I can think of other things. And of course the software isn't perfect today. It never will be absolutely perfect.
Station_two, are you keeping up with the latest Photoshop releases? If not, I submit that your rhetoric may be falling out of date.

Creating Photoshop buttons for motion menus and photoshop menus

Hi I need to create buttons in photoshop for both a photoshop menu and a motion menu on DVD studio pro program
Can someone tell me how to do it on both different menus?
I really need some DETAILS on how to do it. Thanks for your time and responses ahead of time

OK, here's what I recommend you try...
Create the footage for your motion menu background. In that footage fade in the button shapes and text for the buttons exactly as you want them to appear. Hold the final position of these buttons for at least 30 seconds. save an image of the still portion to act as a guide in photoshop. Encode that footage to MPEG2 using Compressor and import it in to DVDSP.
Take the still image in to photoshop and add a single layer to the file. On the new layer, create a shape of some kind (an underline, tick, circle, cross, box around, arrow, etc) next to the background button text. Make these shapes (for each piece of background text) black, and leave the rest of the layer white. Hide or delete the background layer and save the result as a .pict image. Import it in to DVDSP.
Take the motion footage and drop it in to a menu. use the loop point in the property inspector to define where the 'still' portion of that footage begins. Now drag the .pict overlay image in to the same menu, but hold it a second until the contextual menu appears... set it as the overlay. Drag out button rectangles around the background text and position for the shapes in the overlay. Make sure the rectangles don't overlap, and set up the target for these buttons as well as the navigation between them.
Use the property inspector to adjust the colours for the overlay - set it to be a simple overlay and in grayscale. What should happen is that when the menu plays the animated sequence starts first but as soon as the loop point is reached the overlay becomes active. The first button defined will be set as selected. You should now see the menu with the buttons faded in to position and the buttons should be clickable.
When returning to this menu you may not want the viewer to sit through the animated sequence each time. Use a script (in DVDSP4) to specify that they return to the loop point only (the bit where the buttons are) or create a second menu that is identical to the loop point and send the viewer there instead.
As you can see, there are several steps involved and I have made assumptions that you know something about menus and constructing buttons. It is all in the manual, but you will need to be familiar with Photoshop (or whatever image editor you prefer) to do this properly.
You do not need to try to make four layer shapes and bring them in to the menu, and if you attempt to add anything else from the templates panel to this menu then the image quality will suffer as DVDSP builds the disc. If you do want to add other shapes and text to the menu then don't do the export to MPEG2... keep it as a simple QT .mov file.
Please let us know how you get on after trying this method, and after reading up on those manuals

Finding photos on my MAC and Editing JPEGs in Aperture or Photoshop

Hello all!
This has been a great forum and I have learnt tons of information. I'm a recent convert to MAC computers and I have been working with Aperture 3. Whenever I upload images from my camera to my laptop, it automatically uploads into Aperture 3. Now I am having trouble importing select images into Photoshop CS5. When I go to Finder and select pictures, there is an icon titled "Aperture Library". When I click on that it opens Aperture and I can view all my photos in the folders I created. How do I export a single photo into Photoshop for editing? How can I view my photos in folders without opening up Aperture? I'm used to being able to do this with my PC, so I assumed the MAC would work in a similar fashion. I assumed that instead of the "Aperture Library" icon, there would be folders and subfolders corresponding to the folders and subfolders I created in Aperture. Please help!!
Also, my camera only shoots JPEG images (no RAW). Is it true that I can't edit JPEG images in Aperture...or at least this is not recommended? This is what I have read, as I will degrade the image quality. It appears, though, that I can edit the JPEG images in Photoshop CS5, correct? I'm at least able to edit the pictures using the "Camera Raw" feature in Photoshop, from what I have read.
Thanks in advance for your help. I've been scouring the internet for answers to no avail. If you feel another post answers my question, feel free to link the post in your response.
Thanks again,
Mike

Thanks Ernie. Your reply was much appreciated and what you said clarified a few things. I did watch several tutorials about Aperture 3 and they stated that there is no point in editing a JPEG in Aperture. Basically your camera is already compressing (or reducing the quality) of the image in order to convert to JPEG, which is obviously a smaller size than RAW. Therefore, when you make edits to a JPEG in Aperture, you are again compressing the image, and reducing the quality even further...potentially to unacceptable levels. Is this not true...at least for someone learning photography editing / manipulation. My goal is to make something look good to the average person...I'm not trying to win any awards here. Does the same hold true for photoshop? Put it this way....I'm an aspiring amateur .
Also is it possible to view your photos outside of Aperture...somewhere in the Finder menu? Aperture is my default program...when I plug my camera into my laptop, Aperture opens up and all my photos are imported there.
I was thinking of buying a point and shoot camera that also took RAW photos. Just with all the money I've spent this last six months (macbook pro, logic studio, aperture, photoshop, akai mpk25, external lcd monitor, and krk speakers), I'd rather stick to my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH22. Wow...it's going to be hard to look at my credit card statement . At least I have 0% for 18 months!!
Thanks again. Any additional input is appreciated.

Why icons and text on photoshop are very small, (i checked edit preferences interface)

why icons and text on photoshop are very small, (i checked edit>preferences>interface)

In summary:
1. You have a "high dpi" screen. The advantages to this are that things that are painted on the screen in a reasonable size will be made up of a lot of pixels, and will be very crisp and clean looking.
2. Photoshop has not yet embraced "high dpi" operation. It's complex to do so, in that Adobe has to rewrite the software for all the controls on the screen to be able to use more pixels. That's not to say it's impossible, it's actually fairly straightforward for a given control - but there are a HUGE number of controls in many, many different places in the application.
Adobe has said they're working on it, and have made some noise about Microsoft not having supplied everything they need to succeed at the full reimplementation. But the current version does not have the ability to size itself up to be a reasonable size on your "high dpi" display.
That said, if you really, really want Photoshop to be "magnified up" to where all the controls (AND the pixels in the image you're editing) are much larger on your display, there is a workaround/hack... It's a bit geeky and requires registry editing, and one day when Photoshop really does gain "high dpi" support you'll need to remove the hack, but here it is:
