Handling Screenshots in Photoshop

I include MS Windows screenshots in documents I create. I cannot always get the same color for the window frame, so I change that color in Photoshop. That works OK, but the dithering around the text in the window frame is wrong because it was based on the original color, and the pixels are not selected by the magic wand when I select the area to change the color. How do I adjust the dithering to the new color?

I'm going to guess that when you refer to 'dithering' you mean the transition pixels between text black and the color of window frame (image area) you are changing. You could try to adjust the feathering for the magic wand tool and see if that 'grabs' those pixels. You may also be dealing with such a low resolution image that getting a clean transition might not work without using some other technique - and in PS there are many.

How to open screenshot in photoshop?

anyone know if it's possible to take a screenshot–whether of the entire screen or of just a selected area–and have it immediately open in photoshop?
if this doesn't exist, wouldn't it be great if apple created it?
thanks much.

Hello,
You can do that with Automator in your Applications folder. If you know how to use it.

How to open a screenshot in Photoshop Elements 9

How do you open a screen shot in Photoshop Elements 9?

Thanks so much. This is how I remember doing it in my old version of Elements. Apparently you have to have the full version now in order for this function to work? That kind of sucks. Do you know any other way of opening/using/editing screen shots? Thanks for your help.

Pdfs and screenshots opened in Photoshop are appearing pixelated, or not displaying at all.

Hi. I'm on a new iMac system. (iMac 27" retina - Yosemite OS X 10.10).
Whenever I take a screenshot and open it up in Photoshop by using File/Open and locating the screenshot, it is appearing pixelated.
The same thing is occurring when I try to open a pdf, or the pdf doesn't appear at all.
Here is a saved photoshop file (jpg) of how a screenshot is appearing in Photoshop. I just took a screenshot of this page for the purposes of this exercise. Other screenshots appear even more pixelated.
The only reason I am opening screenshots in Photoshop is to crop them before posting anywhere or sending to anyone.
I'm selecting 'use the embedded profile (instead of the working space).
I'd attach the image of how a pdf is appearing in Photoshop but it is not displaying anything at the moment. A file does open to the right shape/size of the pdf but it appears blank.
I'm using File/Open locating the pdf file, I click OPEN, the specs I put in are: 300dpi, Select: Page1, Anti-aliased is ticked, Crop to Bounding Box, width: 19.8cm, height 8.8cm, contain proportions is ticked, 300dpi per inch, fit page, Bid depth: 8 bit, CMYK, Thumbnail size: Fit Page.
Which is everything I used to do on my old Mac, and which worked perfectly, but not working now. Wondering if it's a bug or if I'm missing something in Photoshop, due to it being an upgraded Photoshop version (CC2014).
This is how the pdf file of an advertisement I need to insert into a brochure appears in photoshop. If I open it again, it will again render differently.
Btw, the screenshot or the pdf file previews fine when about to open it (in the Finder/folder).

Correction for above: 'Bit depth' not ' Bid depth'

Photoshop wrong color with every screenshot

hi,
i'm using ps cc 2014, and have the problem that every time i make a screenshot from photoshop, the colors get pale. the same problem occurs even in illustrator. the color settings in photoshop and illustrator are the same.
System is a Win 7 64 Bit. the problem only occur in Adobe Tools. thx for help!

Hi guys, your'e great!
the problem seems to be that the wrong color space was assigned to the display, and all the files from photoshop and illustrator have no color space assigned. first i add the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 to the display, and set this as default profile. sorry all dialogs are german :-)
no changes here
for photoshop i changed the settings as shown:
in illustrator are the settings now:
now, each time i open a file (PNG, etc.) in photoshop or illustrator, i have to assign the sRGB color space manually, but then, there is no color shift when i do screenshots an paste them back. after assigning the sRGB colorspace to the display inside the windows colormangement, it works fine in photoshop, but not in illustrator. After changing the settings for illustrator as shown above and assigning the sRGB colorspace manually to the file when opening, then it works fine in illustrator.
thanks for your help, you saved my day!!!

Apple DVD Player-like screenshot censor / keystroke event handler priority?

I am really interested on a way to restrict a fragment of my application to screenshots.
I've managed to handle screenshot keystrokes and almost achieved what i wanted, BUT!
Currently i'm struggling to fix problem with race condition between os' screenshot process. Usually i am first and i am able to hide part of my app against screen grabber, but that't not the rule. Sometimes my event handler is slower, than screen grabber.
My question is - is it possible to increase event handler priority / main thread priority, so my app will receive all keystrokes with increased priority?
Thanks in advance!

The Fade In-Out behavior in the library palette
animation\animation
might give you some ideas.
It is time basedd (fewer courser steps on slow systems) and
works in
background.
It looks like you might be able to extend the mFadeActivate
handler to
work with your menu stuff
Here's a rough example
on mFadeActivate me, finalBlend, totalMS, excludeSprite
To bring in menu sprite 10 and turn down any others mid
process:
sendSprite(10, #mFadeActivate, 100, 500, 0)
sendAllSprites(#mFadeActivate, 50, 0, 10)
The second call sets all other elements to 50% blend in 0
time, except
sprite 10
if excludeSprite = me.spriteNUm then exit -- this line
handles the
exclued sprite num

Photoshop elements 4.0 shadow and highlights

Hi,
I've a question about shadow/highlights.
In Pse4 S/H has three different values (Lighten Shadows, Darken Highlights & Midtone Contrast). What are those hidden fixed values in Pse4 that are visible in Pscs3 S/H options ?
Is radius value fixed about to 100px in Pse4 ?

Since the Elements Shadow/Highlight filter is the same as the Photoshop filter minus the ability to fine tune it, I would
assume the hidden values are the same as Photoshop's Shadow/Highlight filter default settings.
The site linked below this paragraph shows a screenshot of Photoshop's Shadow Highlight filter default settings...Show More Options checked. Without the "Show More Options" box checked the filter looks like it does in Elements minus the "Midtone Contrast" slider.
http://www.bwps.org/res/lessons/shadow_highlights/
Edit: To my eye, they look like the same settings...comparing Elements 3 to PSCS3 Default Shadow/Highlight filter settings.
HTH,
Terri

Photoshop CS5: border in full screen mode

I ran this by in the User forums. Now I think I should file it as a bug.
I use full screen mode in PS. It's important to me,especially when I take screenshots.
Photoshop CS5 shows a border in full screen. Something CS4 or even Bridge CS5 doesn't do. I've attached an example:
My video card is not detected by CS5 (or CS4) so the GPU options are grayed out in Preferences. I could shut off aero...but I like the functions it provides and I don't think I should switch in and out for one program. If any of the programmers here look at the situation....I'd like to know if they can fix it in a future update release.

Copy in illustrator, paste in photoshop as smart object problem

Hello. I am posting this here hoping that this message might be seen by someone more experienced who knows the answer. I have already tried to find a solution on my own, but to no avail, and I already lost a whole day just with this problem.
I'm trying to build an example website, in anticipation for a real one that I want to build later on. I've done the wireframing and design (some of it) in illustrator, and now I want to copy to photoshop what I did in illustrator. I need to copy it as a smart object. The problem is that when I copy to photoshop, even though I choose the same dimensions, the file is not the same size. I have inserted some images to try to explain this more clear.
These are some settings in illustrator.
These are the dimensions in illustrator.
I select the whole content from illustrator, copy it
And after that I go to photoshop. I choose to create a new file
Even though when I created a new file in photoshop I selected the same dimensions that were in illustrator (960 px 1810px), the copied object does not match the canvas when I press enter.
I've searched online for people that had the same problem and I found something somewhat similar, but not helpful. The problem for them was that the anti-alias was not selected. However, as can be seen in the images, in my case the anti-alias is selected. The difference I noticed is that for them the W and H are both directly 100% when the object is pasted into photoshop, but for me this never happens, it is always something different. In the images here it is w 99.99% H 99.94%, and I created another layout before this that had even worse dimensions, something like W 97.68% H 98%. I tried to fix this by putting manually 100% for each before I press enter, I even selected the "maintain aspect ration" icon (situated between W and H) but after that the image gets distorted.
I should also mention that I created different other smart objects with these files and they have the same problem - I selected the header for example, made it a smart object, and every time they are introduced to photoshop they are not W 100% H 100% but are 9X % 9X% or something.
I also tried, when creating a new document in photoshop, to put instead of 72pixels/inch - 300pixels/inch and its the same problem..
I also looked at the illustrator file so that there are no strokes on the edges of the document.
So, please, if there is someone who know how to fix this, to paste it so that I will have the same dimensions (W 100% H 100% automatically) so that the documents will match how it is normal, I would really apreciate the help. If there are any other details and setting one might need, I will look for them and mention them after that. Thank you!

Use
file >> export > psd instead
Your resizing problem is coming from what is in your clipboard is not 960 x 1810, but larger (960.078 x 1810.048 as seen in your 3rd screenshot), and Photoshop is resizing trying to fit.
To fix this yourself, make a new document, your clipboard size will automaticallly be used if you make a new .psd doucment, then paste, than drag over to your 960 x 1810 .psd document and reposition.

Photoshop or InDesign CS6 - which one is correct?

I got stuck on a problem where I couldn't get Acrobat's print to match what I print out of Photoshop (Epson 7880) using Source>Print Profile "Photoshop Manages Colors" workflow.
I traced the problem to InDesign.
The screenshot below shows the Photoshop sRGB document (left) with the blue background, 22/56/158.
The right side shows InDesign blue background (sRGB is Working RGB) with the identical 22/56/158 RGB fill.
Open the screenshot in Photoshop (use the embedded profile, sRGB), and sample the blue background in each app.
There is a considerable difference between them that could account for the difference I am complaining about the prints not matching.
So I have to wonder which app is correct, Photoshop or InDesign...if I am missing something?

conroy,
do you have a custom monitor profile, or sRGB equivalent?
your Id screenshot cuts off the area i can confirm you are using RGB (not CMYK), i also can't tell what your Id working RGB is, or your Ps Source Profile - so it is hard for me to understand what you did
however, Ps' color picker on my MacBookPro CS6 looks like yours - the one i posted was from my MacPro CS6 and what i am used to seeing in Ps
that may be a clue -- how do i get my MacPro to use that style color picker in Ps?
+++++++
gener7
my Id document only has RGB objects, the blue swatch is "RGB"
my Id Working RGB is sRGB (the same as my Ps Source Profile)
in theory, the same RGB numbers using the same source profile should "match" on the monitor (calibrated or generic) in this test (if InDesign converts its Working RGB to Monitor RGB like Photoshop)
moreover, getting Info in Ps on each app's blue background should be a numerical "match" in my screenshot, they're not

File Info in Photoshop shows only a blank page

Photoshop CS5. This is what happens when I select File Info. The page then becomes non responsive and I have to close out PS. File Info works on Illustrator. Thank for any assistance.

See if this works:
1. Open Notepad
2. Copy this line into notepad
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\3.0
3. In notepad go to File>Save As, change the Save As Type to All Files and save to your desktop using the following name
AdobeXMPFileInfoCS5.cfg
4. Then copy the file from your desktop into the flashplayertrust folder that you have shown in your screenshot
Start photoshop cs5 and hopefully the file info is not blank.

Screenshots black instead of shadow..

Hi,
I have a 'problem' when using the default screenshot functionality inside OSX Leopard.
When I press shift + ctrl + cmd + 4 I get a nice cross hair to take screenshots.
If I then press the space bar I can create a screenshot of the selected window (ie Safari).
The problem is that when I paste the screenshot in Photoshop, the screenshot contains the selected window that is surrounded with a solid black color.
I thought the solid black color used to be a 'drop shadow' kind of effect!?
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Hi,
Thank you for the response.
This does resolve the black bar, but I was also wondering if it is normal behavior that I see a black bar instead of the 'drop shadow' effect?
Cheers
i don't use photoshop so can't really say but it might be that this is how photoshop interprets the drop shadow.

Extension Builder and Photoshop CC

May I get some info about how to handle the new Photoshop CC version ?
I need to know if it is compatible with Extension Builder, and if it's possible to get a beta to test my extensions. It should be out in June and have no other info than a press release.
I believe that building extensions for a product like Photoshop is a way to enhance this application and Adobe should appreciate it, but it's very difficult for me to get the right info and tools to continue enhancing this product.
Any help will be sincerely appreciated, thanks.

You should find your test extensions in the following directory:
Mac: /Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions
Win: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEP\extensions

How do I download the english version of Photoshop?

How do I download the english version of Photoshop, I keep getting the Swedish version. So far the support be really bad. Need direct support, not this forum or FAQ pages.

If you have Creative Cloud, just change the Application Language to English in the Desktop App, then English will be available for install.
When the Install is finished, go into Preferences > Interface > UI Language and English should be in the drop-down menu. Change and restart PS.
