Hue Saturation Dialog Box

Since a day or two, when I go under Enhance > Adjust Color > Adjust Hue/Saturation : the color picker is activated instead of the dialog box. I can only leave the color picker by pressing the ESC-button. I still can adjustHue and Saturation using an adjustment layer. Does anyone have any idea whether some setting has caused this change ?
I use PSE 9 on a MacBook Air. All updates installed.
Thank you in advance

Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 settings
Repair permissions and try again. If you're using lion, that library is hidden. To see it, in the Finder click the Go menu and hold down the option key. It will appear below the little house for your user account. Also, if using lion, while you're in there, go to Saved Application States and delete the one(s) for PSE 9.

Photoshop Elements 6: Hue/Saturation as a basic layer?

When creating a hue/saturation layer in Photoshop Elements 6, is it possible to have it act as a basic layer, adding and removing from the selection, rather than a mask layer?

The simple method is to place your selection on a separate layer and clip the hue/saturation mask to it.
In this example I selected the sky and pushed up the saturation to really exaggerate the blue color.
Click to view
1. Make your selection
2. Press Ctrl+J to place it on its own layer
3. Add new adjustment layer (hue/saturation) and click OK to close the dialog
4. Hover your mouse over the dividing line between the adjustment layer and selection layer whilst holding down the alt key. Click when you see two small connecting circle appear. A downward pointing arrow will appear to show the adjustment layer is clipped to the selection layer.
5. Double click the thumbnail icon on the adjustment layer (not the white mask thumbnail) and that will bring back the dialog box.
6. Now use the sliders to make your selective adjustments.

How to use color picker or RGB values in the hue-saturation colorize adjustment

I have a monochromatic adornment that I want to match to the color of a logo. I am attempting to use the colorize option of a hue saturation adjustment layer to match color. But I cannot quite get the colors to match. I know the RGB values of the color, but how do these translate into the Hue/Sat/Lightness numbers of the adjustment dialog? I tried using the correlating H/S/B values fro9m the color picker but that did not work.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Zeno. Creating a layer with the color and using the blend mode worked fine. But as I stated in the original post, using the H/S/B (there is no HSL) values from the color picker does not work when you place them into the H/S/L values in the hue-adjustment layer with (or without) the colorize box checked. But your first suggestion worked like a charm. Thank you.

Replacement - Hue Saturation and lightness do not show

I am trying to replace color - However the Replace Color dialog box does not show the replacement panel containing Hue Saturation and Lightness. I am working on a psd file set as RGB. How do I get the Replacement panel to show?

Are you using the Color Replacement TOOL (from the toolbar) but thinking of the Replace Color COMMAND (from Image>Adjustments>Replace Color)?
The tool does not have a dialog box but the command does. The similarity of the tool and command names is unfortunate and has surely misled a lot of users.

Adjustments/hue/saturation

Using Mac Snow Leopard--when I click hue/saturation I don't get a dialog box, only the eye dropper appears, then I have to CMD/return to get out. Other Adjustments work fine. This is a new development, it worked fine recently.

No, it's not a bug. It's user error.
At one time you either had a secondary monitor attached which is now disconnected or you had a larger display screen resolution (more pixels wide by more pixels high) which you have since changed. In either case the modal dialog box is now off screen. You have no chance of finding it without first trashing your preferences.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer

I am a Photoshop beginner working on a class project. In the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer box, what number value will give me a "cool blue" for the Hue slider? Thank you.

"Cool blue" is as specific a color as "Yummy Purple". Wikipedia took a shot at defining cool blue here:
Cobalt blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
which it displays as this:
and your sliders in Hue/Saturation set to:
H20 S0 L34 will put you in the ballpark.
I suggest that when it comes to color spec you familiarize yourself with the Pantone Matching System, for starters.
Good luck.

Photoshop cc print dialog box image dark

I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mt. Lion with PS CC, an Eizo monitor, printing with an Epson 3880, calibrated and profiled with a ColorMunki. When I preview an image to print, the image is darker in preview, and the color is much different than the actual image. When I print with the proper paper profile, (photoshop manages color and the space is Adobe 1998) it prints looking like the preview image rather tha the one on the monitor. I also run Snow Leopard on a partition with CS6, and the above does not happen, everything works fine. A photog friend of mine with a similar setup is experiencing the same problem since upgrading to Mt. Loin. Another graphic designer friend is running Mavericks and is has the same problem. I have another photog friend in Nashville who is having THE SAME PROBLEM!! Does anyone know what the heck is going on? I'm the only one who kept Snow Leopard so I can still print, which I do on almost a daily basis. What broke what? Is it a bug with PS CC, or did something in MT. Lion break? This is very frustrating for all of us and I find it totally unacceptable.
If anyone has a clue and can help, we would be eternally greatfull.
Thanks,
Greg Nikas

Thanks for the tip on inserting photos. I'm new here, won't post a link in the future.
I'll try to simplify my issue;
1. In CS6 in Snow Leopard, the original/source image looks just like the image in the print dialog box and prints beautifuly. See images below.
Original image.
Print dialog box image.
2. In PS CC and CS6 in Mt. Lion, the original/source image is redder and more saturated than the image in the print dialog box, but the print looks like the the image in the print dialog box. The image in the print dialog box looks like the original/source image in CS6 in Snow Leopard! See images below.
Original image.
Print dialog box image.
3. The issue seems to be with how the original/source image in PS CC and CS6 renders in Mt. Lion. As I said in my intial post, I have three friends who are having the same problem and none of us can figure it out, and I'm the only one who kept Snow Leopard.
4. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and Mt. Lion on a partitioned disk.
5. I have an Eizo CG222W monitor, which is calibrated with an x-rite ColorMunki. Each OS has it's own calibration profile.
6. I print on an Epson 3880 using the latest driver, and all papers have thier own profile and look the same when printed from either OS.
7. All settings in PS CC, CS6 and Bridge are identical in both OS's.
I hope this is stated more clearly.

Gaussian blur and Colour Adjust Hue/Saturation cause freeze-up

After using PS Elements 9 for a year, it has started to give me problems, and I can't find a fix for it online. Choosing Gaussian Blur, or Color - Adjust Hue/Saturation causes PSE 9 to freeze up and stop responding. This just started today, and I'm baffled. Some of the other filters have stopped working, but they don't cause a freeze-up. I've done a disk clean and defrag, but I haven't done anything different to my computer in a long time. I can try to uninstall/reinstall, but I'd rather not if there's a simpler solution. I'm on a Toshiba Satelite Notebook, i5 processor, 64-Bit OS Windows Home Premium. I'd appreciate any insight into this issue.

The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (in Program Files x86\Adobe)
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

Using Hue Saturation to change color of shirt not working

In CS5, I tried to make a selection of a white shirt and used Image > Adjustment >Hue Saturation, though when I drag the Hue slider, nothing happens, only a little bit of pixels of color change. Why is this.
Thanks.

1. So this is simply the wrong tool to change the color?
Are you familiar with the geometric representation for the HSB- or LCH-model?
The straight line connecting white and black is the axis that’s totally neutral, so changing the Hue or the Saturation/Chroma has no effect on points located thereon.
You can still use Hue/Saturation to colorize neutrals by checking the Colorize-box.
Or create a Solid Color Layer of the intended color and set it to Blend Mode Color and use a Curves Adjustment Layer to adjust the Luminance below that.
Edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV
Figure 2a might be helpful in illustrating the gray axis.

Hue/Saturation of one Layer?

Is that possible? I don't want the hue to change the entire image and what I'm trying to change is glowing text so selecting it is kinda out of the question. The text is on it's own layer though can I just adjust the color of that layer?

If it's rasterized, directly change the pixels by selecting that layer, then just running Image - Adjust - Hue/Saturation...
-or-
Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Hue / Saturation, and check the box that clips the adjustment layer to just the one layer beneath it:
-or-
If it's just the color of the text itself you want to change, select that layer then choose the Text Tool. You can change the color of the text by adjusting the color in the options area at the top of the Photoshop main window.

Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer problems

I posted earlier about having problems printing with new color laser printer and colors printing wrong. It is not the printer, the printer prints perfect color from what I see on my screen (calibrated). Have narrowed it down to a hue/saturation adjustment layer. When I open and print a scrapbook paper (brownish color jpg) with out doing anything to it, it prints perfect color. When I add an hue/saturation adjustment layer (to change the color to blue) then it won't print the right color. I have checked "colorize" and unchecked "colorize" when adding an adjustment layer. I have tried flattening the image and merging the layers before printing. I have unclipped the adjustment layer to the layer below. It prints the wrong colors only when I add a hue/saturation layer
What am I missing? This is driving me absolutely crazy!!!
Thanks!

You could try Layer - Flatten just for the moment of printing (don't forget to undo it afterward).
Seems too basic a problem, though... I more strongly suspect a color management problem.
Is there a difference in the way you're opening the file that prints well vs. the one that's a problem? Or is this one and the same file?
What is your document profile?
What do you have set in the Photoshop print dialog for color management?
What do you have set in the printer driver for color management?

The hue/saturation adjustment in my photoshop CS3 no longer works. how can I fix?

the hue/saturation adjustment in my photoshopCS3 no longer works. How can I fix?

Are your images RGB/8?
Is "Preview" checkmarked in the HSB dialog?
If so, then hold down the Alt key and when the Cancel button changes to Reset, click on it to clear it and set it to defaults.

Image Adjustments Hue-Saturation / Ctrl U crashes CS4

I have been running CS4 for about five months. There have been problems - speed, stability - but here is a new one. Out of the blue, selecting the Hue-Saturation panel eithe rthrough the menu or by keystroke brings up the eyedropper - functioning - but essentially crashes Photoshop. It goes on running - you get 'blind' menues - but it is impossible to switch the eydropper off and you consequently have to close CS4 from Windows. I have rebooted, it still happens. I am oath to reinstall until I know if there is afix for this.

I hate to keep repeating the same mantra, but have you tried resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
(A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

Any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes?

Is there any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes, instead of just lists of items names?
I know you can preview one at a time, but I'd love to see all my artwork as picture icons, just as you can in a finder window.
Windows does this, but not OSX that I know of. Is there a third party app that enables you to see icon view in the Open and Close Dialogs?

Thank you Steve Jobs. I guess that feature has been added in Leopard. Now there really is nothing that I'll miss from Windoze.

Open dialog box....

Hi Everyone,
I have designed a form in which user has to input the path where he wants to save his report.
Like c:\test.PDF
what i want to do is that when user click a button againts this field a dialog box should appear in which he can select the location, like in Notepad File > Open or File Save.
and after selecting the path and closing the box the path should be display in the text field which i have provid to my user. Is it possible to attach the default file extension automatically in the text box?
like if user have written c:\test it should be automatically converted into c:\test.PDF? Any Idea?
How is this posible in Developer 6i. I will be very thankful if someone can help me solving this problem.
Regards,
Imran
