How do I manipulate color after changing an image to halftone with bitmap in Photoshop CS5 and CS6?

Hi,
I'm just starting to play with turning into images into halftone image. So far I've learned how to do it 2 ways: 1) using the Pixelate>Halftone filter and 2)Converting the image to grayscale then bitmap>halftone. After either technique, I'm a little lost on how to best changel color - not as whole but to convert different section to different colors - kind of Andy Warhold look. I've tried the history brush. I've dragged it into illustrator (which I tried live trace). But I'm not quite getting the flexibility of just painting different areas different colors. Also, what angles work best to avoid strange grid effects?
Any techniques or inside advice would be greatly approciated! Thanks, Andrea

Why not apply the halftone to a duplicate layer, that way, you still retain the colors, you can then allow some or all of the colors to show through, using blend modes, masks or opacity changes.

Photoshop CS5 and CS6 not opening after Windows 7 update

Hi there!
I have my Mac on repair so I have to use Photoshop on a very old Windows 7 laptop of mine (the first PS licence I bought was for PS CS4 Win then extended to CS5 during grace period)
It always worked fine (slow but fine ) since today. I was updating a couple of softwares (Intuos + Spyderpro) and I have been asked to restart my computer to make the updates effective. I've noticed that Windows during the restart was updating itself as well and I said "well, ok!" and let it go. But once my computer had restarted I couldn't open PS CS5 anymore. Desperate I went to the Adobe trial pages and downloaded CS6 but it doesn't work as well. I tried to repair some log errors via CC cleaner and delete PS preferences from its folder but no luck. I don't know what else to do. Bridge works fine. I don't understand what happened and how to solve it.

Hi Valeria,
My first inclination was to recommend just reinstalling, but since you said you did a new install of CS6 and that isn't working either I'm not sure if that would help. The user preferences was also a great thing to try.
These might be some other general suggestions for good next steps:
- Try launching with right-click Run as Administrator
- Create a new administrative account, log out of your current one, and attempt launching from there
- See if you get the same behavior if launching while in a Selective Startup
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/run-selective-startup-system-configuration#1TC= windows-7
- Uninstall any changes you made since it stopped working, you should be able to uninstall the Windows update from within Programs and Features, uninstall the Intuos + Spyderpro temporarily to rule them out
Hope that helps,
- Dave

How do I determine if my file system is case-sensitive before I buy Photoshop CS5?

How do I determine if my file system is case-sensitive before I buy Photoshop CS5? I currently have Mac OSX 10.5.8 with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and 4GB of Memory.. Adobe says the following requirements are needed..
2GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and 256MB of VRAM
Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0
I don't know if I have a "hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card" or "256MB or VRAM".. I've never heard of "VRAM" before and the last bullet points is just as confusing. The last thing I want to do is buy this program and discover my Mac Book is just a tad bit to old for it, I've already done that once with a video game.

Disk Utility highlighting the drive or partition & clicking the blue Info icon may report it, but since I don't have Case Sensitive I can't tell for sure.
A simple test would be to save a small txt doc as...
test
Then save to the place same as...
TEST
If both show on the Disk, then it is, if it asks to replace test with TEST then it isn't.

I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label.

I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label. when I click on the filter drop down, color label is not one of the options. how do I get both ratings and color lables as an option to sort with.

You can Filter (not sort) on both color label and rating if you want, open the Filter Bar with the backslash key, then click on Attribute, and then select the stars and color label of interest. If you really meant "sort" and not filter, then you can't do this in Lightroom.

I have had a problem with opening some PSD template files. It doesn't happen all the time and it doesn't happen with every template. All of the templates were downloaded as zip files and opened and saved using Photoshop CS 5 on a Windows XP PC.
As far as I know Photoshop can not open Zip files. If you unzip the zip archive and it contained PSD files. How do you know they were all saved on a XP system with Photoshop CS5 with max compatibility. The message you getting seem to be contradicting that.

InDesign CS5 and CS6 Scripting Changes/Incompatibilities

I'm new to InDesign scripting and need to write a very complex Javascript for InDesign using the Toolkit. My concerns are if CS5/5.5 users will be able to run the script written for CS6. Are there known incompatibilities with the different releases? If so, where can I find a document to compare the differences. I will probably need to support both CS5 and CS6 (and anything in between), so a possibly solution may be to build for CS5, but if I do, will I be missing out on any key new features of CS6?

There are differences from 1 DOM version to another and they can and will break your script if you haven't designed it to handle them. For example:
If you want to use script labels like me (because they are awesome) the following will break if you use CS5 or later:
app.activeDocument.pageItems.item("myLabel").remove();
So you'd have to force the DOM to V6.0. But when doing so remember to revert back to the original version after you're done or you'll create bigger problems. This can be done like this:
app.scriptPreferences.version = 6.0; // CS4's DOM version
app.activeDocument.pageItems.item("myLabel").remove();
app.scriptPreferences.version = 10.2; // Current CC DOM version
This is very inconvenient (for me at least), so I wrap functions that require DOM changes with a custom version changer to handle this for me. In regards to a list of incompatibilities? Not sure, maybe someone here has one, I know Jongware has a website with all the DOM changes from 1 version to another. This can be found here:

Dear sir
I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
Please tell me whats the matter?
My phone serial no 86034HTCA4T
Modem firmware 04.12.09
Thanks

Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
iPhone unuseable.

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?

When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.
If not, you may want to consider the Photography Plan. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud

I must have my computer reimaged. I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5.7. How do I inform Adobe that I will be reloading these programs to the same computer?

I must have my computer reimaged. I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5.7. How do I inform Adobe that I will be reloading these programs to the same computer?

And to directly answer your question, you don’t inform Adobe, you merely deactivate PS, reimage, then reinstall and reactivate PS with the serial number(s), and relicense LR with the serial number(s).
If this computer isn’t yours and you don’t have the serial numbers, yourself, then that could be a problem, although there may be software that can find the serial numbers. On a PC platform, download and run the Belarc Security Advisor and see if it finds the serial numbers you need. It’ll only find the current product serial numbers, not the prior versions that an upgrade might be based on, so then you’ll be stuck.

I have a licensed version of PhotoShop CS5 and bought a CS6 upgrade. When I do upgrade it says license id not valid. What next? How can I contact support personel?

Hi David,
You need to download CS6 Photoshop and enter the serial number for CS6 Photoshop and then you would be prompted to enter the serial number for qualifying product.
Enter the CS5 serial number in order to install and activate CS5 Photoshop on your machine.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

How do I upgrade from Photoshop CS5 to CS6?

I have Photoshop CS5 and want to upgrade to CS6. However, I don't want the Creative Cloud version. (I don't want to have to pay a monthly or annual fee!) I want to pay the one-time "lifetime" license fee. Where do I go to do this? How much will it cost? Or is this no longer an option?

The page he was pointed to was for an entire suite and only presents a "buy at $699" choice.
That page has suites and individual apps.
Now that he knows that it's "lying" about being a $699 option to buy, clicking makes sense.
That's not a lie. Photoshop CS6 can be bought for $699.
NightSkyGuy wrote:
I used to similarly sneer at people who kept asking me what photoshop to get until I realized how much Adobe muddied those waters! Hint, there are about a DOZEN Photoshop products (or at least there were).
I hardly think that the difference between a full purchase and an upgrade is analogous to the differences amongst "about a DOZEN" products.
