Help!  Photoshop save selection got corrupted; help me fix

My copy of Photoshop is saving an inverse mask in Channels when I use "Selection>Save Selection", whereas it saves the standard mask in Channels when I save the selection using the mask button in the Channels Panel. 
I noticed that my other install of Photoshop saves the same result by both methods.
How do I repair Photoshop so that it doesn't invert selections when using "Selection>Save Selection"?

  • When I app switch back to Photoshop, any selected text is deleted - Help!

    When I app switch back to Photoshop, any selected text is deleted - in text elements or Inspector values.
    I get the same behaviour in Dreamweaver, but not in any other applications (including Microsoft, Apple apps). I haven't tried in any other Adobe apps.
    When I use another user account on my computer, I cannot replicate the problem.
    I'm using Photoshop CS6 on Macbook Air running Mavericks.
    Any ideas?

    dude, it was bad news..
    well i think u really lost ur work and data, so u need to redo again all the stuff...

  • Photoshop crashing, Lightroom not opening, help to fix please?

    I paid for and downloaded Creative cloud last week, and have installed Photoshop, Lightroom and Bridge. When I went to use these programs I found that Bridge works, Lightroom won't even open, and Photoshop tends to crash after 3-5seconds upon opening. There is no crash report, or any other sort of explanation, and I tried logging off of creative cloud and back on again as the solution options say to do, however this hasn't had any affect on either Lightroom or Photoshop.
    Oddly enough, the Camera Raw editor will work, but when I try to open the photo into photoshop, Photoshop again closes, this time asking if I want to save changes to my image. Selecting yes allows me to save the image and then closes, selecting no closes everything.
    It's very frustrating.
    My computer is an HP Pavillion, I think it's a notebook, but not sure.
    I'm running Windows 7 with the following processor: Intel Core i3-2310M  CPU 2.10GHz
    4gb RAM and a 64bit operating system.
    Can someone please help me sort this out? I'd really like to be able to use what I paid for

    Hello,
    After having contacted Adobe by phone (very professionals) i tried what
    they told me to do and everything is fine now.
    First i was told to run windows in "minimal" mode", that means without any
    service except the microsoft ones by using msconfig.
    Then install : "AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool"from Adobe; in the dos
    windows chose "all", that will delete all previous install of adobe
    products.
    After that, you'll have to delete every adobe folder you find in this
    places :
    C:\Programmes\Adobe\
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\
    C:\Program Files (X86)\Adobe\
    C:\Programmes\Common Files\Adobe\

  • I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now.

    I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now. I uninstalled it, but now I can't re-install photoshop...installer just gives me the option to uninstall.
    This is my job, so very important .
    Thanks
    Johnny

    Download the CS6 installer from this link it should install on any machine the meets the specs. Even without a serial it should install as a trial version. If CS6 was activated on your system your CS6 credentials should still be there and when you install it should be activated. Then use CS6 menu Help>Updates to install the updated,  CS6 installs need to be updated.

    When I try to save a document a message comes up saying "Couldn't auto-save document." How can I fix this? Thank you for your help! - Chip

    This is a mean one. I don't have time to try and find the cause, but at least some answers to your questions, to hopefully shed some more light on this.
    Where was the original destination? iCloud folder.
    On another drive? Tried to Save as... to Hard Drive (also changing name of file), always get the same non-descript short Error "Couldn't auto-save document." (slides down from top with a yellow warning triangle). Status to the right of document name is "Not Saved".
    Another Server? No access at this time.
    I also tried File, Revert to, Browse all versions, to check what I'd be losing. Saw I wasn't losing much and selected the last version and pressed Restore - same error. In the end I just quit Pages and re-opened. The document opened with the last few edits missing (but with the status "Edited" next to the name). I re-edited and could save. Good old habit of saving often.

    As ckuan said, there's no way to mark messages as urgent from the phone. So, either your carrier is doing something and you'll need to contact them or it't something on the other end. Is it just one person who's seeing your texts as urgent? Or everyone?

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

  • Photoshop saves JPEG images much too dark--any ideas?

    Hi there, I'm having an issue with my Photoshop applications and I was hoping someone could give me a little insight/help in fixing the problem.
    When working with a file in Photoshop (I am an artist, so I usually create my files from scratch rather than loading them from a camera), I can get the colors to appear as they should in the workspace. When I finish artwork, I make sure the colors are exactly as I want them, then save it as a JPEG file. However, if I open this JPEG file in any application--browsers, photo viewing programs--it is extremely dark and saturated. If I open the JPEG in Photoshop, though, it looks fine. This issue seems to have occurred spontaneously 3-4 months ago. I don't recall changing or deleting any of my monitor or video card preferences, or my color profiles. I was working with Photoshop Elements 4.0 at the time, and it suddenly started happening.
    Now, I have found a sort of work-around for it. If I screencap my workspace with the artwork open in it, then I can open up that screencap in Photoshop. The colors are much TOO bright and washed out when I do this, but if I crop the image so it's just the artwork and save it, then it displays in browsers and viewing programs more or less as it should, i.e. how I see it in Photoshop. However, if I open that JPEG in Photoshop, it will display much brighter than the original artwork.
    It's not a desperate issue since I have this weird work-around, but I'm currently trying to save images for printing--which means they need to be very large, and I'm not keen on zooming to 100% and screen-capping the art piece by piece, then stitching it all together before saving it. I'd really like to get this issue resolved. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I was using outdated software (PSE 4.0), but I've just recently upgraded to CS5 Extended and the same issue prevails.
    If it's any help, I'm working on an HP EliteBook 8740w, with Windows 7 and an NVIDIA Quadro video card.
    Here are the things I've tried, which haven't worked:
    Deleting Photoshop preferences/settings (in both PSE 4.0 and CS5)
    Uninstalling and re-installing both programs
    Re-calibrating my monitor
    Changing color settings in Photoshop (files still end up dark regardless)
    Disabling OpenGL Drawing
    Switching between file types when saving
    I am at my wit's end! I am mostly concerned that my clients and professors aren't going to see my work as it is intended to look, when they view it online. The erratic behavior of too-dark or too-light, and my pictures seemingly never displaying correctly on any browser or in any program, has me a little paranoid about my online portfolio, haha. I'm applying for an art scholarship in a month, and if none of my work will save correctly (much less print correctly!) then it will be a sad day indeed!
    As I said before, this problem seems to have popped up out of nowhere. My artwork from before the whole saving-too-dark issue began still displays perfectly in most programs, but the rest is totally hit-and-miss. If any of you have fixes or suggestions (even suggestions on adjusting Photoshop so that my images display more consistently in browsers and other programs) I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks so much for your time,
    -Jenna

    Though you have solved your problem, be aware, that different applications have different ways to interpret color profiles that can be set in different ways.
    Example:
    In Firefox, you can either set a color profile or not -- AFAIK, it only works with v2 ICC profiles (vs. v4, v3 seems to have not been released).
    From that point, you can set perceptual, absolute, colormetric, or one other...(forget)... but usually you just set that to perceptual for monitor work as I understand it.  Then a 3rd FF setting (all in its registry, of course, though occasionally there are extensions that let you manage the three settings.  They correspond to values (accessible through 'about:config' in FF's address window), all under the prefix:
    "gfx.color_management."
    "display_profile"  -  text string of file containing a v2 ICC profile, usually in "C:\Windows\System32\Spool\drivers\color\" (at least on Win7) -- extention ".icm"
    "mode" -- when to turn it on (2=for pics that have profiles set, another is for always (1?)), maybe 0=off?
    "rendering_intent" - this corresponds to perceptual, abs, colormetric, types, I think 0=perceptual (default)
    for FF, if you google one of those values, you'll find more info on some mozillian-type site... "prefix<keyname>" (e.g. -  gfx.color_management.display_profile ).
    Other progs may have their own or if we are lucky would use the system profile & color management system (assuming it is any good).
    Getting an accurate monitor profile and keeping it updated as your monitor 'decays' (i.e. color is usually best when new, then they decay, w/useful life at max gamut ~ 18 months (in my experience), after that, you can still retune to the same white point, but with a loss of gamut due to the phosphors decaying at different rates).
    It's best to use some sort of external calibration HW... -- as an external device looking at your monitor through it's various colors is the only way to get a 'digitally objective' measurement.  That said, I always have concerns about the stability of the measuring device over time.  Does it have components that  that could cause non-linear measurement?  Am guessing not as likely, as it isn't emitting anything so less wear & tear, but I wouldn't assume it's 100% accurate over time either (but certainly is better than one's own eye which can gradually adjust to just about anything).  I had a viewsonic when I first got my current color device (a Spyder3), and it had gone from an original white point of 6500K down to 5700K -- and I had not noticed the difference (over 18-20 months)...
    I could bring it back in range, but had lost gamut, and was a bit below the sRGB (consumer grade) standard (which is some fractional
    value of the Adobe Photoshop or NTSC standards, which are similar in the size of their ranges, but slightly offset from each other).
    The result of all this -- I never really know how my images will look on other monitors, but I try to tag them w/my current monitor profile, hoping that if they care about color, they'll have some SW on their end that can make sense of it...but given my own experience in how SW on the same system handles color differently, I wouldn't say they were 'high hopes'... ;-)
