How to use Photoshop CS6

Hi Peeps,
I have been using Photoshop Elements 4.0 but now I have to switch to Photoshop CS6 as there are some printing issues with Elements 4.0.
I would like to seek for your kind advices how to use Photoshop CS6 as I can't seems to find the answer in support link.
In Elements 4.0, there is a Pencil mode we can use and set the size but i did not find it in CS6 except the Pen mode.
As well as in Elements 4.0, i can show grid lines as i need to make the images centralised but i cant find in CS6 also, the option is greyed-out.
May i seek for the users/experts of Photoshop CS6 to enlighten me?
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Kazz

Hihi Silkrooster,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply!
May I still seek further assistance from you? As I simply can't get the pencil line that I wants.
In Elements 4.0, I just have to simply select Pencil -> Size: 3 px, Mode: Normal Opacity: 100% and I can get the size of the pencil line that I need.
See attached screenshot below: -
But in CS6, i tried the combination of 2B pencil -> Size: 3 px, Mode: Normal Opacity: 100%, but it does not work so i go to extend to set Brush Tip Shape. 
See green box 1: its the pencil line that I want.
See green box 2: its set to 3px, square pointed, softness: 100% but it's too big and looks faded.
See green box 3: All is the same except is 2px but at least it looks so much alike to the one i need (dark, black solid line) but it's too thin.
Can enlighten me how to go about it plssss?
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Kazz

  • How best use Photoshop CS6 (not CC) to edit AVCHD video?

    Neither Photoshop CS6 Extended (not CC) nor OS 10.10.2 seem to recognize AVCHD files on a camera card?
    Yet, iMovie will import them -- apparently for use in iMovie only. The quality as seen in iMovie is poor and the program is inferior to even the simplified video editing facility in CS6.
    How do I get access to these video files in the highest possible quality and bring them into CS6 Extended for editing?

    I don't think AVCHD formats like M2TS files are supported, out of the box anyway. I know Sony Creative's apps like Vegas and Vegas Movie Studio can open them natively since it's their format to begin with.

  • How to use Photoshop CS6 when booted from a different partition?

    I have CS6 installed.  I recently created a second partition on my SSD for development in OS X 10.10.  When booted from that drive, I get an error that CS6 was not properly installed and to re-install it.
    This is a smaller partition, with just the system and a few development apps, and I'd prefer to continue to run my larger apps from the original, larger partition. 
    Of course, every app I have tried does this with no issues except CS6.  I usually need to re-enter app serials, but they work.
    What files need to be copied from one partition to the other to let the app boot up?

    They work fine. I first tried with a clone of my main drive doing an update in place on it.
    i guess I will need to boot into 10.9 to use them.
    I will mostly use stand-in apps like Pixelmator.

  • Cannot use PhotoShop CS6 after trial expired, even after purchasing Creative Cloud Student Edition

    Hi.
    I had PhotoShop CS6 trial, which expired.
    I have purchased Creative Cloud student edition, I receive a message that my PhotoShop trial has expired.
    I am prompted to purchase the product to extend it, or type in the product's serial number
    (I never received a serial number.)
    I paid for Creative Cloud and have an order number, I should not be having this issue. 
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled PhotoShop CS6 multiple times, I also use DreamWeaver and am fearful that I will encounter the same issue. How can I use the Photoshop CS6 after I have paid for it?
    Curonda in Milwaukee, WI.

    Hi.
    The trial expired 2 weeks ago - Monday.
    I purchased the Cloud Yesterday, also 2 weeks ago Monday 10/15/2012.
    I purchased it twice thinking 1 purchase did not complete.
    I still will need to request a refund for 1, I've been too busy between, work, school, and kid. I'm at work now.

  • Getting files from a business that uses Photoshop CS6. I use CS3 and have text problems

    Hi, I'm getting files from a business that uses Photoshop CS6. I use CS3 and when I edit the text, the text moves to a different location even off screen.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    It makes it hard to copy the text and imposible to change the color or make corrections.
    This just started when they went to Photoshop CS6.
    Thanks,
    Jeffery

    Ask the folks supplying you with files whether they've updated to the latest version...  There were problems with Photoshop CS6 13.0.0. saving text layers in jumbled-up fashion.

  • How to move photoshop cs6 to a new computer

    how to move photoshop cs6 to a new computer

    1. Be sure you have your serial number.
    2. If you have only used one of two installs, install and activate on your new computer (as a precaution), then proceed to step 3. If your second install is currently used, proceed to step 3 without installing.
    3. Deactivate on you old computer and uninstall. To deactivate, open Photoshop and go to Help>Deactivate.
    You may use Photoshop on two computers at any one time. By deactivating, you may change to different computer(s).
    You can find the installer here: Download CS6 products

  • Why is using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor for Acrobat still a complete failure?

    Image objects in pdfs are losing their positional and other parameters when saved after editing with Photoshop CS6(ONLY).  The problem was acknowledged on the Photoshop forum three months ago, but they said it was up to the Acrobat folks to fix it.  When using most previous versions of Photoshop (CS2-CS5 all tested) as the touchup image editor, Acrobat was able to place the image right back into it's previous position in the pdf and it could  do this without releasing whatever path was used to crop or mask the image (basically it worked great).  However, using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor is still a complete failure.  Any idea when or if this will be fixed?
    Thanks

    The Photoshop 13.0.1 Update fixes this issue.  Excellent.

    Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11.
    Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11.  Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
    images directly from iPhoto.    Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
    in iPhoto 11.  Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank. 
    And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
    From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6  to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
    When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
    Please advise. Glenys

    This may be of help to you:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Using Photoshop CS6 and after printing approx. 10 cards on an Epson R3000 printer the program gives me a dialog box saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened an

    Using Photoshop CS6 and after printing approx. 10 cards on an Epson R3000 printer the program gives me a dialog box saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."  Even after closing and reopening the program, the print command is greyed out so I cannot select any printer. This also happens with a Brother laser printer. Both printers will produce a test page out side of the Adobe product. Help!

    I cannot get any help either.  I get the message "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."  I have reinstalled all drivers, powered off/on all printers (2 of them - a Brother HL - 4040cn and an Epson Stylus Pro 7890 - which all worked fine until this morning).  There appears to be no path to a solution.  I have read all the forums and tried about 20 different suggestions all to no avail.  Reboots, changing cables, reinstalling printers and drivers and Photoshop CS6 - ALL TO NO AVAIL.  On a macbook pro retina with 10.10.3.  This issue is out there and some get solutions - but not all - that's my crowd...the not all crowd.  I have yet to be able to print from CS6 any more.  This is a show stopper and my patience is wearing thin.  And I'm tired of stupid questions like "is your printer powered on?" give me a break.  This appears to be an adobe photoshop cs6 problem - as I can print from every other application.  Anyone have any ideas?  Adobe should have something?...

  • How to change Photoshop CS6 CC UI from English to French (France) ?

    Hello,
    I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, US english operating system, so when I subscribe to PS CS6 CC edition, the english UI was installed. Is it possible to change the UI (menus, help, etc.) To french (France) I live in the US but my working language and instructional materials for using Photoshop CS6 are in french, not "french canadian," but french from France. Training EU francophone clients and personnel would be a lot easier if we were all using the french interface.
    Many thanks for your kind help,
    Rafi

    It is possible to change the installed language from the Adobe Application Manager (AAM). Click on your name in the top left and from the menu choose Preferences. Switch the Language to French. You will need to uninstall the English version and then install the French version.
    Of note is that some European customers select the Internation English only version of the Creative Cloud subscription. If that is the case than all languages execept International English will be a 30-day trial version.

    I use photoshop cs6 extended and when I create a new shortcut, it will work once and then disappear..any help on why this would happen

    Sorry, no further idea what can cause this.
    Is the shortcuts file truely saved to disk? You can find in the user path, where the preferences and presets are stored for PS. Or if you go to the dialog again where you change shortcuts, is it reverted there too?

Maybe you are looking for
