I am new to Photoshop CC. I am trying to use the magic wand to highlight a dull sky, and it is just making a weird selection that has nothing to do with my photo
I am trying to use the Magic Wand to highlight a dull sky so that I can add something more interesting.
When I try to isolate this area, the magic wand seems to just make a random selection throughout my photo.
I have anit-alias on, and my tolerance is at 5.
First, is the layer containing the photo of the sky selected? That might help.
But there are probably better ways to make selections than the magic wand, depending on the value ranges in the sky you wish to select.
Try Color Range, Quick Mask, or manual selections using the Polygon Lasso Tool, or combinations of all of the above.
You can also paint your selection on an additional layer (using brushes), and convert the painted area to a selection, make a channel of that selection, and refine manually.

The new tab goes to a website that has nothing to do with the site I am working with.
hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Can somebody please advise me why Escape is not working anymore and how to get rid of the magic wand?
At the far left of the options bar is a tiny triangle. Click it and choose Reset Tool and see if that helps.

IPod touch 4th generation..Facetime.
Well yes your close. I got it from Egypt and i am in Egypt now, but vodafone (one of our carriers ) has implemented the use of facetime to its customers here. I guessed the same in the begninig but even if it didnt, since im not using a simcard is that supposed to matter anyways?
It is no where to be found on my ipod, i searched. Also it is not being restricted or anything.
And anyways im goin to the UK next month and staying for a while, would the icon automatically appear, since it comes pre-installed im guessing i wont be able to install it from a unrestricted country (if this was the case) since it is not installed on my ipod in the first place.
Thank you,
Sorry for the inconvenience, but this could be quiet confusing. -
I purchased Adobe Elements Photoshop 12 & Premiere 12 together from a camera shop in town. When I tried to use the Premiere, it splashed "created with the trial version" over all of the photos. How can this unsightly watermark be removed. It has severely hampered my timeline to start and finish this project. Why would a purchase software product purport to be a "trial" version?
This indicator will appear when you have not registered your product or typed in the serial number for the product.
Once you've added the serial number, any future products will not display this indicator.
To remove this this indicator from videos created before you added the serial number, you'll need to delete the rendered files. -
I am running a laptop with windows 7 and am trying to use the save as feature in Photoshop CS6 and it wont let me save as anything. Can someone please help me with this?
A screenshot of your Photoshop work area showing the open file you want to save as, the Layers panel open, and the Save as... dialog open might give us a clue as to what is going on.
To take a screenshot and save it as a file
For Windows 7, Printscreen, open a New File in Photoshop, Ctrl v to paste, then save as jpeg (the other trick was for windows 8)
Use the Camera icon on your reply to upload it.
Also File > Save for Web is a good workaround if you just need a jpeg, png, or gif.

The serial number on my new boxed photoshop bought from Staples does not match the required number of numbers to install. Help
You’ve posted your comment in the Adobe Creative Cloud forum. Adobe Creative Cloud doesn’t use serial numbers. Does this page help with determining what to do with the number you have:

I shoot with a Canon 7D, have Windows 7 installed on my computer, Adobe CS4 (Bridge & Photoshop). I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type. I downloaded the latest updates for Adobe Raw as well as the DNG converter, however I don't want to have to convert to DNG before opening in Bridge. Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!
Make sure you have the right version...

The USB cord needed to transfer photos from my iPhone 5 to Windows XP has nothing to do with the charging cord which appears to have an USB 'end', but apparantly is not, as it will not fit into any USB port on my PC?
An iPhone 5 comes with a single cable. It is a USB to Lightning connector cable that is used for charging, for syncing, and for transferring photos from the Camera Roll to your computer. There is no separate cable for charging.

downloaded 11.0.3 (42) 64 bit to my MacBook Pro and it crashes every time I select a song a use the 'add to' function to add to a play list. It's never done this before, is it a bug with the new version?
You could just disable updates. Change these settings in about:config.
* app.update.auto - set to false
* app.update.enabled - set to false
You can still check for updates with the "Check for Updates" button in the About Firefox window, but it will download the update file anyway if there is an update available. You can also check which is the current release from here:

I am trying to use the liquify tool for the first time. I created a new document (RGB/8). Before I place my photo, the liquify option is available. After I place the photo, the liquify option disappears. What am I doing wrong?
What am I doing wrong?
For one thing you forgot to mention the version of Photoshop you use.
Did you place the image as a Smart Object? Liquify got Smart-capabilities with Photoshop CC. -
I am trying to use the trial creative cloud software on a PC windows 8.1 - I've downloaded and removed Photoshop CC 2014 two times - every time I open the file it says there is a problem and it shuts down and closes. I can open indesign and maybe other apps but photoshop no. Any ideas?
I don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
Any guidance would be great.
