IMac 5k rasterized filters in Photoshop CC

When using luminosity masks in Photoshop I on the 5k iMac I am seeing rasterized edges in the masks created using the Cmd+ Clicking on the RGB channels. I was hoping that this was just a display issue and not a problem with the underlying file, but when I export images and view them on other machines, the rasterized appearance is still there.
Does anyone have any ideas on what may be causing this?
I have been playing with filters in the shot below to demonstrate the effect.
This doesn't happen when generating a straightforward gradient in PS (see below), so must just be luminosity mask issue. Arghhh!!!!

Have you considered posting on an Illustrator forum, this is an Apple forum. While there are some Illustrator users on these forums, I am sure you would find more on a dedicated forum for Illustrator.

I’m using an iMac running Os X Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 Extended, R2880 Epson printer In the Print Settings dialog box, I can’t select Color, Advanced BW or Grayscale unless I select “Printer Manages Color”. The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred

Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
What type of file is it (file format)? What bit depth and what color space?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

KPT Filters For Photoshop

I've already asked Corel about this with no results. I've been using KPT filters with Photoshop for years. I bought a new Mac Pro and discovered my version of PS wouldn't work so I upgraded to PS CS 3. The only filters that won't work are the KPTs.
I reinstalled them and did drag them into both the Filters and Plug-in folders with no good results.
Dose anyone have and idea how to make them work or do they join the Dead Applications Society?
TIA

Hi
You'll probably find it isn't CS3, it's because you now have an Intel Mac. I have KPT filters on my G5 (the ones with Fluid, Lightning, FraxFlame II etc). Tried them on an Intel Mac mac and they won't enable.

Animate filters in Photoshop CS3 - possible?

I know this is not the right forum for this question. There is some filter effects in PS CS3 that I want to animate. One way could be to copy the filters and try to use them inside AE CS3, but it would be cool to really learn what is possible to do inside PS. Could this be done?
Regards / Jimmy

You cannot use PS filters in AE. That functionality was removed as of AE 6 due to Photoshop's filter architecture undergoing massive changes at the time that could not be accomodated. Perhaps it will resurface some day (it's a high-priority wish for quite a number of users). You can however use the filters with Photoshop's batch processing and video layers, but only with static settings. For animating filter parameters you will have to dig into BridgeTalk/ Photoshop scripting so you can change parameters on an image-by-image (or frame-by-frame, if you will) basis, but obviously this will take time to learn or find nice peopel versed in that art who are willing to share their knowledge.

Extract and Pattern Maker filters in Photoshop CS4?

What happened to the Extract and Pattern Maker filters in Photoshop CS4? Are they gone or placed somewhere else?

Hi guys,
I might be an old fart! But I love extract... Are there any other way to make transparent pixels on the edges on the object you want cut out?
Personally I cry at night for the semi-loss of Extract! This means that Adobe wont improve it any more and with time the filter might be all gone!?!
cheers

Filters on Photoshop

How do I reinstall filters on Photoshop. Many are missing (grayed out)

Disabled (grayed out) is not the same thing as missing.
And reinstalling won't change the reason that they are disabled.
Check the color mode and bit depth of your document (remember that many of the filters only work in 8 bit RGB or Grayscale).

Getting error on imac at time of loading photoshop plugin - "One or more plugins currently not available on you system"

Hi,
I am getting below error message while loading photoshop plugin on intel mac os 10.5.7 in photoshop CS3.
"One or more plugins are currently not available on you system. For details, see Help -> System info"
In System info it is giving error as
"Plug-ins that failed to load:
Dissolve NO VERSION - - from the file “/Applications/Adobe CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Plug-Ins/Filters/Dissolve.plugin/”
I have build this code with Xcode v3.0 & selected settings build configuration as "i386".
Is there any CS3 SDK updated need for intel mac or any build settings need to be done in xcode?
Same plugin is working well on emac, but giving above mentioned error on intel mac.
Please let me know if anyone have any idea about this.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for you suggetion.

If you had been running CS3 on a PPC machine (PowerPC or pre-Intel box)
it's likely the plug-in was not written for Universal Binary.
>
Now that you have an Intel iMac, any plug-ins that have not been updated
for Universal Binary will not run, because your CS3 is now running natively
in Universal Binary.
>
In order to run your older plug-ins, you would have to run CS3 in Rosetta
emulation software—with a corresponding, MASSIVE performance hit..
Rosetta emulates the PPC chip. To set up CS3 to run in Rosetta, you
highlight the application icon in the Finder a do a Get Info on it (Command
I). check the Run in Rosetta box, close the dialog box, launch CS3 and
watch it crawl along.

Nik Filters Crashing Photoshop CS4??

I have been using Nik filters since they first came out. When Google took over I townload the whole free suite they offered. Than I was 'force fed' Nik Analog and it slowed all of my Nik filters down, and since then I have had periods of tremendeous slow down. then a couple of days ago, whenever I opened an image in Color Efexs I would get an error message and Photoshop would close down.
Then yesterday I would get the following 'pop up' messages also - but this time it happened every time I tried to open any file in Photoshop. That is, my Photoshop CS4 is not usable.
I also have CS3 on my computer and it works fine. I went ahead and installed Silver Efex Pro 2 and Color Efex from my original discs and they work fine.
Google sent me the latest Nik Filter collection today, but I am not able to install it past this point, even if I have my anti-virus temporarily disabled.Also I cannot cancel or close it and I can only get out of it by forcing a computer restart.
I am thinking that I will try a 'System Restore' next, and if that does not work, re-install Adobe Creative Suite CS4 from my disks.
If anybody has any thoughts on this or experienced something similar, I would greatly appreciate any input.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with 4 GB of RAM and 500 GB of hard-drive with 275 GB of Free Space.
Many thanks,
christian

Thank you - yes I have done that, and as of right now I can't install it - as per my last screen shot above. Nik/Google suggested I go into Safe Mode and try it that way. Will do that.
Do you think updating the plug-in will actually make Photoshop CS 4 function again?
Going through this process I uninstall the Google/Nik Filter plug-in, but my CS 4 still crashes - see the first screen shot above.
Many thanks!

Why did some of the filters in Photoshop Elements 11 stopped working?

Hi,
I can't use some of the filters (comic, pen and ink) in Photoshop Elements 11 (for Mac) since yesterday. They worked perfectly before... I have tryed to reset the default preferences, but it didn't give any result.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Many thanks!

Okay, this is where it gets tricky. I don't have mavericks since I have a printer that won't work if I install it, so I can't tell you what, if anything, has changed, but in previous versions of OS X you would go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Settings
Now that library was hidden in 10.7. and 10.8 and I don't know about 10.9. In Lion and Mountain Lion you got to it by clicking the Go menu in the Finder and holding down the option key. Then it appeared below your user account in the list. If you can find it, while you're in that library, also delete any saved application states for PSE. Then repair permissions again before using it. But I don't know for sure that the file structure in 10.9 is the same.

Has anyone ever used their iPad to remotely connect to a iMac and use programs like Photoshop on their iPad?

Hi everyone,
I had an iMac at home, but I've recently taken on some freelance work and they would like me to come into the office every now and then. I don't want to purchase a laptop and I know you can remotely connect to your desktop with an iPad, but I need to know if anyone has ever done that and successfully used programs like Photoshop on their iPad. Is there lag time when trying to use the software? Or is it just not possible and I should consider getting a laptop again?
Thank you!

iPads are not exact laptop replacements. If you need to be using Photoshop, then buy a normal laptop computer.
Using a remote access app on an IPad or any tablet conputer to remote access your computer to operate will be quite a lot slower and clumsier than just having a laptop with a normal OS and Photoshop application installed.

IMac very slow esp. in Photoshop, has corrupted fonts

Hi all,
I have an iMac that runs quite slowly after a few hours use, especially when using Photoshop and other Adobe software. What happens is, the processor gets completely swamped with "System" tasks (shown in Activity Monitor as red bars), the result being that "User" tasks are slow and the mouse jumps around the screen, rendering the computer almost useless. I've done a bunch of disk utilities including Leopard's onboard Disk Utility as well as OnyX, and although some errors were found, it was nothing serious. And after repairing, problems persisted.
Now, here's the thing. When I open Console, most of the errors are Adobe-related (mostly Photoshop and Dreamweaver). And I just ran a "Validate Fonts" check in Font Book, and found 15 fonts that have "serious errors, do not use".
So, I've often heard that Leopard, Adobe CS3, and corrupted fonts are a lethal combination. Not that I'm asking anyone to diagnose my problems from across the world, but does this sound like it could be the root of my problem? And if so, what's the proper process for removing the dangerous fonts so they can't ruin anything? Do I just delete them, or do corrupted fonts cause deeper problems which might necessitate reinstallation?
Thanks!

See Font Management in OS X and then these:

BTW, turn off the bad fonts with Font Book and see if the performance returns to normal.
