I can't access image mode

My .psd file is a collage of different pictures I took and I would like to manipulate bightness and color saturation but I can't, so I thought I was simply in the wrong image mode but as I want to change it I see that I cannot access it at all, it is greyed out. I hope there is an easy fix to this?
Thank you!

Thank you for the quick answer but I found this article: http://www.digitalfelix.net/blog/35-blog-posts/73-why-are-photoshop-menus-greyed-out and fix 2+3 solved my problem.

Stuck in grayscale, can't access image mode rgb

For some reason photoshop decided I didn't want to work in color on a certain image anymore, and isn't allowing me to access the usual fix for undoing grayscale. I've been pulling my hair out trying to recover this image and can't find a solution online. I can acess image>mode>etc on any other image/document but not on the one i need, even if i make a copy of it. I also can't seem to be able to simply copy/paste the entire thing, as it only seems to paste a blank image. How the hell do I get my color back, this is pissing me off royal.

Do you have Windows? If so, you should know Windows makes backup shadow copies.
Shadow Explorer opens up a File navigator. You select the date and time before this happened, navigate to where you kept the file on your C drive, right-click and select Export to get it back.

How can I access images from IPhoto on my Mac to Photoshop CS6

How can I access images from IPhoto library on my Mac to Photoshop CS6? I enable jpg with format "Photoshop" and this is what comes up - "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Photoshop is not a format. It's an application.
What you are looking at are not true JPEGs, just iPhoto's "tease" representations of the hidden images it swallowed, as explained above.

I can not access preview mode in safari

Choosing file > Preview takes me somewhere else and I can not access preview mode at all. Every time I select preview it takes me to some strange site with att and my first name in it. Very Frustrating.
I am using the latest upgrade for Muse 2014, so I don't think the version is to blame. Has anyone else had a similar problem, and what did you do to resolve it, and did it work?

Hi
When you click on preview, what is the url in the browser? Also, Muse uses the default browser of the OS, so is it possible to change the default browser and test it again to see if it works.

Camera Automounts But I Can't Access Images

I've been plugging away at Arch Linux for a bit now in an attempt to get to know Linux better. I've ran into a problem that I can't seem to figure out. Current configuration is Openbox with Thunar as my volume manager.
I've gotten automount to work and it detects USB sticks just fine. I can plug in my Nikon camera and it autodetects.
I'm using a small photo management program called Mirage for the time being till I get things sorted out. I can set Thunar to access Mirage whenever a camera is plugged in. Whenever I plug the Nikon in, Mirage pops up, but then I get a root access error ("could not access the contents of root, Access Denied") when I try to access images.
I've followed the wiki here. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Digital_Cameras with no luck.

Ultimately it looks like my user is not authorized for the camera group, or the camera is not setting up under the camera group. I'm missing something somewhere. I know I added the user to the camera group.

Can't access image files

Wondering if anyone can help me .....
I am deploying an applet for an intranet, about 15 local users. The applet is a simple tree view which contains links to HTML files found in the same directory on the server as the applet. These links work fine and I am able to view these files from a client machine. My problem is with the image files that I am using for the icons in the TreeView. These .gif files are also within the same folder and work fine in AppletViewer. However the deployed versions throw a java.io.FilePermission Exception on both the server and client, and the images will not load.
I have read a stack of different articles and threads on this area and I understand the need for signing applets when they require access to local files, but it was my understanding that applets can always access files in the directory from which they were loaded? This seems to be true given that the html files load without error, so I am at a loss for why the .gif files will not also? I don't want to go to the expense of buying a Certificate for signing and the process for creating your own seems to make the deployment process extremely painful for the final user.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Chris

hi chris, i too had similar problem. you copy the java.policy file present in security subdirectory in jre directory to c:/windows in case if u r not logged in as an user or to the user profile directory if u r logged in as an user.if u see the java console in the plugin, u can find where to copy the file. rename the java.policy file to .java.policy file, and append the following code. this will work for all systems whether it is client or server. what u have to do is to append the .java.policy file the following code:
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
this has to be done for all the client systems also.
if u r unable to access the gif files from the server, u simply put all the files in to the jar file that u sign and access the gif files using getClass().getResource(file path). the file path should be relative to the directory where u placed ur applet. this will work fine.
bye,padmanabhan.

Can't access Recovery Mode on old Mac

I've had an old Mac lying around unused for the last few years.
It is currently running (from "About this Mac")
OS X version 10.5.8
Dual 1.3 GHz PowerPC G4
2 MB L3 cache per processor
768 MB SDRAM
It's a Power Mac G4
I want to completely wipe this computer so it's in absolute factory settings with nothing left behind by me, so I can sell it for a small price and possibly take a couple of parts for a build I'm thinking about.
I Tried the Restart, Command + R method of accessing Recovery Mode multiple times with no success. It takes around 30 seconds to boot each time so I'm not missing the "window" to do it, I think. (I beggin the Key Combo when I hear the chime)
i don't have any disks for this computer as it was pre-owned, at least 5 years ago, from a guy I've lost touch with. I don't want to back up any files.
can anyone help me reset this dusty old calculator?

Man in despair,
The pre-2006 PowerMacs this foru serves cannot run OS 10.6.8. What Mac to you have? We can get you moved to the proper forum for your Mac.
Never be hesitant to start a new thread. When you tag onto another, especially one like this that appears to be about a different Mac model, you dilute the help the original poster deserves. It is also confusing to the rest of use and some very knowlegeable helpers here will not respond to a tag-on (also known as a "thread-jack.")
So fast help require you to make a new thread in teh forum that matches you Mac model.

Thanks for trying to help. Sadly, I followed the instructions and it rebooted to the blue screen again.
It's going to have to go to Apple for repairs now. I'm out of options.
I am wondering how much easier it would have been if I'd created a time machine restore point. I got what I deserved for failing to do that, but I'm doubtful even that would have worked in this case. It does seem to be because of that piece of widely reported malware that didn't want to leave without causing damage.
The most frustrating aspect is the safe boot. I get to the desktop but without any menu, finder or dock. It seems to be similar to the problem below...
http://www.macsmarts.com/?p=109
But that's for Tiger. I tried that to no effect.
Like I said, it's going to have to go to Apple now because I've done so many things I don't know if I'm just digging myself a deeper hole.
Thanks again for offering help.

Aperture corrupted. Can't access images in my library. HELP!

I have a MacPro Retina running the current version of Aperture. The Aperture database became corrupted today. I had just finished uploading some 35mm images scanned from an Epson V700. I was in the middle of editing one of them when Aperture froze. I ran a FORCE QUIT and tried to relaunch but kept getting an error message (this was hours ago, so I don't remember the exact wording, but it wa something about needing to reload the library). After repeated tries to relaunch failed, I decided to try restoring my Aperture Library from a Time Capsule/Time Machine backup. I tried several differnt backups (going back one version each time) and after trying three versions, finally got one to open in Aperture.
The problem at this point is that a large number of the 3,000 images in the library are visible, but corrupted or totally invisible (showing up as an all black or all white frame in VIEWER and THUMBNAIL); others appear as digital noise (checkboard or random noise patterns).
So far, I have tried running this repeatedly to no effect.
Then, I ran DISK UTILITY VERIFY DISK, VERIFY and REPAIR PERMISSIONS. The disk was ok. There were several incorrect permissions. Repair fixed all but one of them (it read: "WARNING SUID file 'usr/sbin/pppd' has been modified and will not be repaired.").
Some of the images in the library show up as white frames in BROWSER, but will load to a viewer frame when clicked. However, those images are corrupted because they cannot be accessed by the ADJUSTMENTS menu or by the SHARE menu (the share menu, for example, says
"The selected original image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again.").
An added couple of wrinkles for some of you very smart detectives to consider that may or may not be relevant.
*Many of my images are shared directly to Flickr from Aperture. At first I thought these might have been the images that survived intact, but now I'm not sure that there's any pattern here.
*Except for the my last set of uploaded images from earlier today and a few other recent, but seemingly random ones, none of the images in the library that can be viewed are able to be edited or shared. I can see 'em, but I can't do anything to them. And, many of the other images can't be viewed at all -- they appear as white, black or noise. A few images a partially visible -- half black or half noise and half image (images that were okay prior to the problem.
*I have NOT been using VAULTS (I assume that's a dumb choice that one of you will urge me to correct in the future, but that's not an option for recovery right now).
All I can say is... HELP!
Thanks.
PS, I have ONE-TO-ONE. Any chance someone at my local store will have enough Aperture knowledge to save me here?

BTW in your previous post you wrote
Once I have this problem fixed, I'll almost certainly shift to the managed process.
which is why I thought you were using referenced originals.
Rob,
it is still not clear if your library is referenced or managed. You may have meant to import managed, but accidentally turned off the import into the library at some point. Have you checked the "Masters" folder inside the Aperture library package, if your masters are actually there?
If it is referenced, you need to find your original image files - if they are really missing from your system drive, restore them from your Time Machine backup. But if you know exactly where they are, reconnect them using "Locate Referenced Files".
But if your library is managed, "Locate Referenced Files" will not work. Repairing this will require to patch the database files inside the package, that would be a tricky operation. You may save your edits and tags for your most important images however, by reimporting your masters and then lifting and stamping your adjustments and tags from the versions with the missing originals onto the newly imported original master image file.
Regards
Léonie

X-fi Xtreme Audio - Can't access/install mode switcher

I've been trying to access the touted 'Audio Creation Mode' for its bit-matched playback and sound quality, however I don't have any of the fancy creative driver programs - instead I have a standard Windows 7 menu, with 8 tabs. (I'll try to get screens if it comes to it).
I double checked my drivers, I am on V .04.0090, however upon attempting to install 'Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Pack .04.0079' , I recieve the error 'Driver Version is not found', preventing me from installing the mode switcher and audio console...
Stumped on how to fix this,? thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Well thanks, but in that case I'm confused by why the post the audio pack alongside the Xtreme Audio in the download section... surely it was meant to be compatible if placed there?

Good day everybody.

Guys need some help.
Im ready to change parts, but no idea was that HD or RAM or whatever else.

Can't access standby mode

I just purchased a Curve 8330 last week. Love it, but the mute key has ceased to put the device in standby mode. It seems to do nothing now. I may have inadvertantly pushed the up rocker button at the same time as the mute key. Don't know why this would disable the function. Has anyone else had problems with this? Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Can you try to reset the device? With the device on, just remove the battery for 30 seconds and replace it. After the device reboots try using the Standby button

Can's access Safe Mode or any other mode!!

I'm on a MacBook Air 2014 - bought three weeks ago.
I'm a Mac user for several years now, and this has never happened to me:
I can't acces Disk Diagnostics, Safe Mode, reset PRAM or any of the other options available!
This Mac came with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
I updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.
Before updating I couldn't use any of the options I mentioned. After updating the same happens.
I've checked every single Apple Forum page & Apple page with information regarding this subjects. I've done everything according to what I read!
NON OF THIS OPTIONS WORK ON MY MAC.
Any suggestion?!
Thank you.
P.S: No, I'm not experience any troubleshooting with my Mac. The functions I mentioned simply aren't working. Why?!
Shouldn't they work on a new MacBook Air? They still work on my Macbook - Late 2010...

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

4S user can't access panoramic mode

Nice conversation :-)
If your camera isn't already in gphoto.rules you should report it to package maintainer (feature request) and/or gphoto devs.
I wouldn't modify standard gphoto.rules. I'd rather put this rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/00.udev.rules:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="305b", GROUP:="camera"
to avoid overwriting after next update.
For restarting udev there is /etc/start_udev (or udev_start or something like this - I can't remember it :-))
thanks, it is /etc/start_udev - i was looking in /etc/rc.d.
i moved it back to 00.gphoto.rules so it won't get overwritten.
now that it's verified working in the standard rules, i'll make a report to the devs to add the cam there.
is your method for doing this in the wiki? i pretty much only figured out how to do it by reading your posts. if you have time, i think it would be a great wiki item. 8)

Can't access recovery mode in Creative

I want to update my firmware for my Creative Zen. I press and hold the play/pause button while starting the player. I should release this at the moment I see the creative logo. The problem is that I never see this logo. The screen is blank while the player is booting and the first thing I see is the ZEN logo. Why doesn't the creative logo show up?

I figured it out. Apparently the player has a cold start and a warm start. If I turn of the player and wait several hours, then I get the creative logo. When I turn it off and (almost) immediatly turn it on again, it goes directly to the ZEN logo, to speed up the restart.

I can't access image mode
