Lighting effects in Photoshop CC doesn't work for me ... just shows ALL black .. any advice to get it to do what it is supposed to?

So, you're totally new to computers?
Go to the Help menu in Photoshop and select the System Info menu item. Copy all that information and paste all of it here MINUS your serial number.
Yes, Photoshop can delegate a lot of the computing tasks to the GPU on your graphics card. You may have to disable that feature in Photoshop Preferences > Performance.

Firefox OS 1.3 simulator doesn't work.(runs but shows a black screen)

I am learning app development for firefox os.I installed a simulator for version 1.3 at my work place and it was working fine.I could write simple web app and run on the simulator.But when i installed the emulator on my home pc It was installed successfully but then was showing just a black screen.I am sure i have installed the correct version.I am using firefox 30.The simulator does show up in the app manager but when i start ,it just show a black screen.I don't understand why this is happening.I tried installing other versions like 1.4,but same thing happens for all the simulator addons.what could be the problem?

Hi prathamesh_13,
Thank you for your question. There should not be a black screen, and is sounds like you have already reinstalled the simulator on the second computer.
If the simulator does not show up on the app manager it may not have been properly installed.
Can you enable verbose logging:
You can see messages logged from your app in the Web Console, which you can attach to your app using the App Manager. If you want to catch early messages happening during app startup, before the console gets connected and working, you can enable verbose logging in the Simulator.
Visit about:config and create a new preference. The preference name is different for each version of the Simulator:
[email protected] for Firefox OS 1.3
[email protected] for Firefox OS 1.2
Set it to the string value "all", and disable, then reenable, the add-on in the Add-on Manager. Now extra messages about the Simulator's operation will appear in the Browser Console.

How do I get to preview when I want to see a bank statement? I cannot get adobe reader to work. It just shows a black screen.

How does previews work when trying to see a bank statement?

Is your bank statement a PDF file? If so, simply double clicking it will open whatever is the default reader of PDF files. (A way to check is to select any PDF file in the Finder, go to File > Get Info, and look at the "Open With" drop down. By default, without Adobe Reader installed, it should show Preview. If Adobe Reader is installed correctly, it might say "Adobe Reader." BTW, you can change it back to Preview!)
It's also possible to control click or right click the file and choose the application to open the file using the Open With option. If Preview isn't an option, click "Other" and navigate to the Applications folder to select Preview.
Hope this helps!

Edit in Photoshop CS6 doesn't work with Nikon D800E NEF files in LR 4.1 RC

The "Edit in Photoshop CS6" menu item or shortcut (cmd+e) doesn't work for NEF files from a Nikon D800E in Lightroom 4.1 RC. What happens is that LR looks like it goes through all its normal paces, and launches Photoshop, and the CPU spins, but then nothing happens in Photoshop, the image never opens.
This works fine for NEF files from other cameras.

Set up CS6 as an secondary editor, and then it will use LR's built-in ACR to process the files, instead of the external ACR with CS6. The external ACR 6.7 also processes D800, just not ACR 7 just yet.

I cannot save custom lighting effects in Photoshop CS4

Under Filters>Render>Lighting Effects.
Whenever I try to save a custom lighting effect in Photoshop CS4 an error message pops up saying "An error occurred while trying to save the style."
I am using an iMAC.
Video display card / driver version: ATY,RadeonX1600
Thanks for any help.

I solved the problem by deleting my original user account, but saving all my files first. I created a new account with adminstrative access, then opened up my old user files from the Deleted User folder and dragged them over to my new user account. The problem with saving custom lighting effects in Photoshop is fixed. Thanks for the tip leading me to realize it was the user profile causing the problem and not Adobe PS.

Album Art works for most, but not all

I was reading previous forums on the subject, but no clear answer was given..
The album art shows up fine in itunes and my library and works for most of my music on my ipod, but how come some album's art does appear? I have it set manually and select 'Get Info' then 'Artwork' and add it from there, then drag in the finished product to my ipod. I've been doing that and it works fine for most of the albums, but every so often, the album art will not appear on my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? I take them all from the same source (amazon.com) but it makes no sense to me how some randomly don't appear.
I tried deleting the artwork and re-adding it, but nothing happened again. If you could answer why it works for most but not all or how I can get the album art to appear for the ones it will not by re-doing something, it would be appreciated. thanks.

I encountered the same problem in the beginning. When I compared the size of the original images, the working ones seemed to be smaller in general, so I reduced the size of all covers I intended to upload on the pod to 300x300 pixels.
This seemed to work - for 2 days. I bought the pod on friday, had pictures on sunday, but on Monday (after the first time the pod was fully discharged) none were left left.
So I ended searching this forum for related problems...
And decided to join my problem to this entry.

Hi I'm new in this Ae and i loved it and started to get into editing but when i watch videos on how to use effects like magnify and CC light burst 2.5 it doesn't work why?

hi I'm new in this Ae and i loved it and started to get into editing but when i watch videos on how to use effects like magnify and CC light burst 2.5 it doesn't work why?

First, I want to clear up some vocabulary issues. After Effects is not intended for editing video. Editing involves cutting shots together to tell a story. Premiere Pro edits video. While you technically can cut video together in AE, Premiere is much, much better for that.
After Effects is used for creating shots - visual effects, compositing, motion graphics, animation, color correction, color grading, etc.
What exact version number of AE (down to the decimal points) are you using? Plus the questions Todd asked, plus the info in the link he gave.
Also, if you're new to AE, you should really start here. This resource will give you a foundation in how to actually use After Effects that will probably clear up your current problem and prevent much more frustration in the future.

Yosemite and Photoshop Elements doesn't work. Can anyone help

I have recently updates my mac software to Yosemite and Photoshop Elements doesn't work. Can anyone help

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

vaishali

Lighting Effects crashing Photoshop CC 2014

Anyone having issues with Lighting Effects crashing Photoshop CC 2014 every time it attempts to launch? Not a problem in previous version.

That's probably correct - it's a Toshiba laptop which has been fine until now - has an AMD HD8400 graphic processor which probably just can't hack the upgrade. May need a proper workstation now!
Thanks,
Nigel.

my photoshop cc doesn't work. "_crtCreateSymbolicLinkW not found in DLL "C.\Windows\SYSTEM32\MSVCP110.dll"". Please help

I checked my windows 7 pro machine for the module I see many copies if the DLL with different dates two different sizes all are version 11.0.51106.1 so I guess there are 32bit and 64bit versions. Some are in Adobe folders some in Wacom folders ad in two windows folders including system32. I do not know if there is and entry point "_crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" in it.

Hi, KK93.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router and Mac can resolve the issue. However, try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi issue with your MacBook.

Also, see the article below to make sure the router setting have been optimized for performance.

PSPaletteMenu category doesn't work for automation plugins

Hello,
I would like to have a menu item under Photoshop "Window" menu for my automation plugin.
There is a notice in the PIPL.r file that goes with SDK:
// Use PSPaletteMenu category to add a menu item on the Window (i.e., palette) menu.
// This is currently only enabled for automation plugins.
PSPaletteMenu ="**Palette**";
However when write my PiPL res like in example below
resource 'PiPL' (ListenerResourceID, plugInName " PiPL", purgeable)
Kind { Actions },
Name { plugInName "..." },
Category { "**Palette**" }, // or Category { PSPaletteMenu }
Version { (latestActionsPlugInVersion << 16) | latestActionsPlugInSubVersion },
menu is not shown under Window menu :(
Want to note that if I specify Category { PSHelpMenu } it works correctly and menu item is shown under Help menu. PSPaletteMenu also doesn't work for Listener plugin that ships with PS SDK.
Looks like plugin is not recognized as automation plugin, but I have correct info.plist props (on MacOS X version)
What should be done to have my plugin menu item under "Window" menu?
Regards,
Mac Developer

Hi Tom, thanks for your reply. Actually I'm not asking about floating palette (which I actually created and there is no issues observed). I just need my automation (!) plugin entry point to be called with kPSDoIt ("Do It") selector action after menu item is chosen under Window menu. (like it works in case PSHelpMenu)
In the PIPL.r file that goes with SDK it states that
// Use PSPaletteMenu category to add a menu item on the Window (i.e., palette) menu.
// This is currently only enabled for automation plugins.
PSPaletteMenu ="**Palette**";
Is it documentation issue?
Regards,
Mac Developer

SafeSleep doesn't work for Mac mini

I use Mac mini (Mid 2011) with hibernatemode=3.
But my Mac doesn't reboot from sleepimage afer I unplug the power cord. I mean SafeSleep doesn't work for my Mac. It boots normally but every program is initialized.
It is strange that I very rarely watch the very moment that my Mac's progress bar when rebooting from SafeSleep successfully.
Please help me to use SafeSleep and to save energy.
I am sure settings are correct and sleepimage is made by the following commands.
$ ls -l /private/var/vm
total 8519680
-rw------T 1 root wheel 4294967296 9 9 18:01 sleepimage
-rw------- 1 root wheel    67108864 9 9 18:02 swapfile0
$ pmset -g
Active Profiles:
AC Power        -1*
Currently in use:
hibernatemode        3
womp                 0
networkoversleep     0
sleep                10
powerbutton          1
ttyskeepawake        1
hibernatefile        /var/vm/sleepimage
autorestart          0
disksleep            10
displaysleep         10

Don't be too dismayed that you can't take advantage of Hibernate the way you did in the past on your PCs. See this chart:
(from here: http://images.apple.com/environment/reports/docs/macmini_per_july2011.pdf)
At most, you're drawing 1.16W in Sleep. For me, that amounts to a cost of about 10p every fortnight. If it's the environmental effects that concern you, further reading of the PDF should show you've got one of the most environmentally-friendly home computers money can buy.
I hope that puts your mind at ease.

[kde] "Only show tasks from the current desktop" doesn't work for max

Hi,
I have two monitor setup (laptop + main monitor) and I would love to use "Only show tasks from the current desktop" option in KDE Task Manager but for some strange reason it doesn't work for me. Well, it works but only partially - for restored/unmaximized windows. When I maximize one it appears on the Taskbar on both screens. Is this normal? May it be due to the fact that I've placed Taskbar on top of the screens?

Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6
Adobe tested the following video cards before the release of Photoshop CS6. This document lists the video card by series. The minimum amount of RAM supported on video cards for Photoshop CS6 is 256 MB. Photoshop 13.1 cannot display 3D features if you have less than 512 MB of VRAM on your video card.
Important: This document is updated as newly released cards are tested. However, Adobe cannot test all cards in a timely manner. If a video card is not listed here, but was released after May 2012, you can assume that the card will work with Photoshop CS6.
Adobe tested laptop and desktop versions of the following cards. Be sure to download the latest driver for your specific model. (Laptop and desktop versions have slightly different names.)
