How do I fix problem with Smart Sharpen & CR as filter

Smart Sharpen doesn't apply (or apply completely).   Photoshop CC on Mac OSX 10.7.5
new merged layer > Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen > adjust sliders > toggle Preview > click OK (progress bar) > nothing or 50% applied
1. Smart Sharpen (SS) shows changes from sliders in SS dialog box AND on underlaying image in PS  but  checking and unchecking the Preview box only toggles the image in PS, the SS dialog box does not change.
2. After clicking 'OK' SS does not  seem to apply at normal ranges but when the radius is cranked up to super ugly it appears to apply at about 50% (Opacity and Fill are at 100%).
Related Problem:
After using 'Camera Raw as a filter' on a new merged layer, then adding a layer mask, and then painting with a brush at 100% opacity and Flow, it appears that only about 50% opacity is applied to the mask from the brush.

I did a lot of such hymn things in the past, but I was alway working on the scans in Photoshop, like adjusting, retouching spots and cropping. And I was always seperating those images to be more flexible so I never run into such a problem.
I am always scanning in a higher quality level than I would need, I scan it in color, this allows me to eliminate paper color easily, even if I need 1-bit images at the end, I do it in color, so I can also turn the image.
I did once run into a similar problem with a scan I have got from a copier-scanner machine (it was not a song). But saving as PSD resolved my problem.
So I would suggest: Open your files in Photoshop, resave them as PSD files and use those instead. If you use 1-bit images (which is fine for this type of images) you should use a resolution equal to the printer's resolution.

  • Problems with smart sharpening in Photoshop CC 14.2

    When I open the smart sharpening filter, the hand symbol pops up and Photoshop doesn't do anything anymore. With Ctrl - Alt - Delete I have to shut down the program. All other filters work correctly. I also removed and installed Photoshop CC again, but the problems are still the same.
    Can someone advise?
    Regards Piebe

    Smart Sharpen was one of the things tweaked in 14.2 so it may have been to do with your Preferences > Performance settings.  (In case it goes wrong again)
    From this page
    Additional improvements
    This update also includes many other improvements to Photoshop CC, including improvements and enhancements to Scripted Patterns and fills, performance boosts for Smart Sharpen using the Mercury Graphics Engine

  • Problems with smart sharpen

    I have installed Photoshop CC.  When i open Smart Sharpen i do not see the same features available as what is shown in you promo for Photoshop CC?

    Stan, i think currently you are using Photoshop CS6 not CC as PS CC is not launched yet. It will be available next month. So, you will get all the new features like Smart Sharpen, with PS CC only, not with PS CS6 that too next month when CC is launched.
    Hope that clarifies your doubt.

  • How do I fix problem with linked and cropped image frames not printing properly when spanning pages?

    We are using InDesign (ID) to develop and print church bulletins which contain a combination of text frames and graphics. One of the graphic types we use are TIF files which are high-resolution scans of hymns.
    A hymn usually has a combination of the musical score, plus the lyrics - with many verses., so the modular structure is 'staff' composed of a treble clef, followed by verses, followed by a base clef.
    If the example above had 6 verses instead of one, we would crop the image by adjusting the frame, so that the treble clef and the desired verses showed through the frame.
    We would then copy and link the frame - piggy back - adjusting the next content window etc....so we build a custom version of the music as a series of linked frames - each with the same base image, but a different frame position.
    So this works fine, when we do this on a single page, but when we then add a 'last staff' at the top of the following page, we encounter print problems with some output devices.
    Imagine a two-page spread, with a full page of music on the left, and the last staff (treble clef, verses, base clef) unit as a separately linked frame at the top of the right page of the spread.
    It displays correctly, and will print individually as pages correctly, but when we print it as a booklet, the last frame drops out and we have blank space.
    I can print the document to PDF and it works fine, but if I print it to a copier or laser printer I get drop out.
    It is inconsistent.
    Previews are always okay. Individual page prints are okay, but when you print the entire document, the last frame in this kind of linked series gets blanked.
    If we create and name the image differently, and call it in as a new image - (not linked to the previous), but it is still a large image that is cropped to a small piece, then it doesn't print.
    If we save the last frame as a different image type (take the TIFF file into photoshop, crop it and save it as a jpg - so it is only the 'snippet') and then import it, it works fine.
    So my question to you InDesigners....is there some setting or tip or trick I need to know to be able to link a series of frames with the same base image, but different crops and make it span across two pages properly.
    Or do we need to play this game of crop and trim the image so that it doesn't drop out?
    Any thoughts, advice, direction would be gratefully received!

  • How do I fix problem with PS Elements 12 install?

    I recently purchased a bundle of PS Elements and Premier Elements 12.  The install hung from the DVD so I copied all the files to HD and installed from there.  Things went well untill one day, PS told me that my trial had ended (I entered my serial numbers during the install).  There didn't appear to be a way to re-enter, so I removed PS and re-installed (again from the HD and again entering my Serial Number).  Now upon launching PS Editor, I receive a notice that it's verifying my serial number.  It comes back without an error but doesn't run the editor.  Now what?
    Pete

    I got it working.  I did some research and found a post by H. Adams.  I found the SLCache folder for Adobe and deleted all of the files in it.  It can be found on the C drive under 1) Program Files(x86); 2) Common Files; 3) Adobe.  There are several files and one directory in the SLCache folder.  Delete them but NOT SLCache.  The Menu program then kicked off a registration process for PSE 12.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How to i fix problem with EULA - it won't 'accept' when clicked?

    I have moved my CS6 onto a new laptop and everything else is operating fine except Acrobat x Pro. When the licence agreement window pops up, I click on accept, the window disappears for a few seconds then reappears again as if I never clicked on it in the first time.
    Customer support instructions (reference  186070095) are way beyond my realm of understanding, and instructions weren't relevant for windows 8.

  • How do I fix problems with my iMessage?

    My iMessage has been acting up since the day I bought my new iPhone. Sometimes it won't send iMessages or pictures through iMessage and also my number appears in gray in the "send & receive." I tried signing in and out, turning my iMessage on and off, deleting my email, restarting my phone, even resetting my phone. Nothing seems to work. I have my number saved into my phone, I've tried pretty much every thing there is that I can do. I don't know what else to do

    It sounds like you have two issues:
    1.  Your number appears in gray in "Send & Receive".
    That's perfectly normal in the "You can be reached by iMessage at".  That is your phone number and you cannot change it.  Hopefully you can check that number in the "Start new conversations from" area.
    2.  Sometimes it won't send ...
    That could be for one of two reasons:
    a.  The recipient is not in a WiFi area, and does not have cellular coverage by a cellular provider that supports iMessage (most do not).
    b.  Either you are not in WiFi or your signal strength is not so good.

  • I have like five GB's of ghost data (data the device claims is not there but it is still taking up space) on my I pad 2 from a failed movie download attempt. How do I fix that with out resting my iPad? I have only 1GB left of storage

    I have like five GB's of ghost data (data the device claims is not there but it is still taking up space) on my I pad 2 from a failed movie download attempt. How do I fix that with out resting my iPad? I have only 1GB left of storage
    The movie had gotten to the point that I could watch it all the way through but it still said processing and got stuck at that point and when I turned off the wifi to try to restart it, it deleted its-self but did not free up any of the storage It was taking up
    Restarting my iPad does not help
    Some thing similar also happened to my old laptop when trying to download the iOS 5 update to my laptop when it came out. It kept getting disconnected and every time it would try to start over and act like what had already been downloaded was not there though it was still taking up the storage space.
    And it continued repeating until it took up all of my storage space. The data file would not show up anywhere so I had to restore my laptop to the factory settings and that worked for awhile but I eventually had to get a new laptop.

    Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:
