Liquify and Blur Gallery Problem

I am having a problem with using the blur gallery (specifically field blur) and liquify when I convert my photo to smart object.  Both tabs dim and won't let me use them. They work when the photo isn't a smart object, but I need it to be in that format because it won't show up in the history.  I need it to so my professor can grade it for my class.  How do I make those tools work?

Yes those filters will not work ion smart objects.  You can double click on a smart object to edit contents, and you can these use those filter on layer (not adjustment layers though)

  • Lighting Effects and Blur Gallery defective in CC 2014?

    I'm not seeing the field controls or any control pins for either the Lighting Effects options or within the Blur Gallery. This is on an iMac/Yosemite setup, with the GPU enabled and both OpenGL and OpenCL available.
    Does anyone have ideas on what could be the problem here?
    thanks
    John

    hi,
    I managed to restore both the field and pin controls by going to View > Show > Show Extra Options, turning everything off and then going there again and turning things back on. For the Blur Gallery options, it is necessary to have Show > Edit Pins activated, no matter whether View > Extras is initially checked or not. You can actually execute the Edit Pins command with the Filter(s) active. This is very quirky.
    thanks for the response

  • Filter masks and blur gallery

    I create a blur filter on a smart object layer.   I then mask the filter.    I then add another filter to the same layer but it seems to ignore the existing filter mask.  When I press M in the filter window for the new filter I do not see any mask.
    I thought the mask would apply to all filters for the same layer.  Am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Paul

    I seem to be missing something I do not understand what your describing with " When I press M in the filter window for the new filter I do not see any mask." What or where is the filter window.   For me the Filter mask seems to be common to all smart filters added to the smart object layer. 
    I your mean Filter Gallery window. All effects will also go through the common filter mask.  However Filter Gallery will only show as a single smart filter.
    Here I selected the left half if the image so there would be an active selection when the Filter mask is added and not be a white  show all  mask. In the filter gallery I could see each effect added was only to the left half.  I commit three effects. so the filter would show with the filter mask in the layers palette.   I the reopened the smart filter Filter Gallery. When I reopened it the active selection not being active any more showed the whole image as being effected however the filter mask protected the right side of the smart object layer as you can clearly see in the image window.
    Again when I originally applied the smart Filter Gallery the was an active selection so there would be something in the filter mask and the select would be visible in the filter gallery.  Here is what I saw.
    If this is not the first smart filter added to the layer and there was already A filter mask  to see its effect in any new added smart filter I would think you would first have to load the filter mask as an active selection.
    Not only did I have to load the filter mask as a selection I had to turn off the other smart filters visibility.

  • Photosho cs4 - problem with filter liquify and gallery

    Hello averydoby, when i try to open the filters liquify and the gallery filters happens that before you open takes 10 minutes to load and when you open the program takes any action carried out for 2-3 minutes. The problem essentially is that charge too.
    I own a compute macbook pro with 512 mb video card and 2 gb of ram, I have also tried to use the filters with images of a few kb but the same thing happens.
    Someone knows what could be the problem?
    Thanks to all

    I asked because I had the same problem with PS CS2 and mac OS 10.2.8 on a 2 x 1Ghz mac.
    (adbobe level 3 Support was able to reproduce the error but there was no solution)
    I don't have the this Problem neither with PS CS4 nor PS CS2 on a mac pro (early 2008) running mac os 10.5.6 anymore.
    I was just curious if I 'd have an idea to solve this problem.

  • Blur Gallery and Smart Objects

    Despite a lot of reading I am not understanding some of the subtleties here. I have converted my layer to a smart object, and then gone into blur gallery where I have used Iris blur where I have dropped two different pins with the intent of isolating two different areas of sharpness in the photo.
    Then after I have rendered the filter I click on the smart object layer mask, and use a brush directly on the image to try and paint on some additional areas of blur. Unfortunately nothing seems to happen. I can wipe away some areas of blur, that exist but I can't do it in all blurred areas of the photo.  According to the video I should be able to paint on additional areas of blur.  I suspect this all has something to do with the fact that I am using two separate pins in the blur gallery, but I can't figure out how everything interacts.
    Hope someone can shed some light on this.

    I am not sure what I could show you a screen shot of.  My problem is that I want to paint directly on the mask in order to add or subtract additional areas to it with a brush.
    If I double-click on the name of the of the smart filter in the layers panel it reopens the blur gallery, and yes I can edit the mask there, but not by using a brush.  The tools for editing the mask in the blur gallery are not allowing me to get the precise shape I want, and that is why I wanted to edit the mask directly outside of the blur gallery.  This video here CreativeCloud Smart Object Support for Blur Gallery and Liquify in Photoshop CS6 Creative Cloud - YouTube from Adobe indicates at approximately the  1 minute mark, that doing what I am suggesting will work; Unfortunately I am having only limited success.

  • Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    I am using Mac OSX 10.10.1 (memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, graphics Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB)
    and my version of Photoshop is CC.
    I ran into  the same problem: I am able to place and view Blur Gallery pins but the adjustment wheel or outer control arounf the pin that allows you to tweak the blur value disappeared after being initially available. Additionally, the placed pin or pins appear to flicker on screen (while in blur gallery mode) until committing the change with the OK button. I have tried restarting both the computer and Photoshop, as well as what some other users have suggested such as View>Show>Edit pins turned on. Nothing has helped so far. I am still able to adjust the blur amount  from the Blur Tools slider. thank you.

  • Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

    Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

    No. If you don't have the album you originally used to create the galleries you can do so by dragging the photos from each gallery to a new, empty album. Then when you find the photo sharing site/option you have decided on  you can easily upload each album to the site.
    Another option is to obtain a hosting service and create iWeb photo pages for each album and future albums similar to this photo page in one of my demo sites: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow.  Or you can use the iWeb album page and have an album for each  iPhoto album on it like on this demo page: Page-7 .

  • Problems with "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur". The tools don't affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points.

    Hello!
    I have some issues with Photoshop CC 2014. The tools "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur" won't work correctly. When I’m holding down the left mouse button and trying to erase or blur some area, the tools don’t affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points – like drawing a line. These troubles exist with mentioned tools only, other tools work correctly.
    I’ve restored each tool separately, restored all the tools together, installed new drivers for tablet, re-installed Photoshop and even Windows. Nothing helped. These tools worked correctly earlier with the same adjustments, but one day something went wrong.
    How can I make the tools work correctly?
    Some information about my computer:
    • Notebook Lenovo Y560
    • Windows 7 Home Basic SP1 x64
    • Intel Core i5 2.53 GHz
    • 4Gb RAM
    • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 1Gb
    • Tablet Wacom Bamboo CTL-470

    Hi,
    I have a similar problem with the Background Eraser tool as well. It's the same both on my PC and on my laptop, both running Win 8.1 and PS CC2014. Would be great to have a solution for this. Did you managed to find a fix?

  • Problem: Illustrator CS6 - print PostScript (fuzziness and blurring edges of vector objects)

    Hello,
    Earlier to print to the printer Develop Ineo+ 451 used the program Illustrator CS3. In connection with the transition to Windows 7 (64bit), was bought by a new version of Illustrator CS6 64bit. Unfortunately, when printing from Illustrator CS6 (price lists, business cards, labels) on a PostScript printer were detected problems, which were not in previous versions of Illustrator CS3.
    A comparison of the print quality of the two programs Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Adobe Illustrator CS6, made on a PostScript
    The software used on the computers:
    1st PC: Windows XP SP2 (32bit), Adobe Illustrator CS3 (32bit), the driver Generic 50C-2SeriesPS v3.0.16.0 (32bit).
    2nd PC: Windows 7 SP1 (64bit), Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64bit), the driver Generic 50C-2SeriesPS v3.0.16.0 (64bit).
    Printer: Develop Ineo+ 451 (PostScript).
    Drivers are available for download on the site www.chansi.ru
    link http://download6.konicaminolta.eu/develop/public/&&BDV&RU&sw&&&&&0&&&0&&0&&0
    (to choose Product Ineo + 452, for download tested version of the printer driver).
    Because after using the new version of the driver, the print quality was not satisfactory, then for the correctness of the comparison experiment, already used driver version 50C-2SeriesPS v3.0.16.0 has been selected.
    When you print from the program Adobe Illustrator CS6, a printer PostScript, you can see fuzziness and blurring edges of vector objects, small text becomes fuzzy and difficult to read. If you print from a program Adobe Illustrator CS3 (using the same version of the driver), there are not such problems and the print quality is quite satisfactory.
    The settings in the dialog box "Print" of Adobe Illustrator and the print settings in the dialog boxes of the PostScript printer driver of Develop Ineo+ 451, were chosen exactly the same for both versions of the programs Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Adobe Illustrator CS6 on both operating systems!!!

    What's the explanation for the following sequence?
    1. Paste as Smart Object, at moment after pasting and before clicking the commit icon (no transform was made) in options bar. The object is rendered pixel-perfect.
    2. After the commit. The object is poorly rendered with gray pixels which should be white.
    3. Press Cmd+T for transform mode. The object is rendered pixel-perfect again.
    4. After canceling transform mode, the object is poorly rendered again.

  • Image Gallery, problems with Flash player 9 and Opera 9

    Hi, I'm developing a slideshow in flash (and php, JavaScript,
    XML).
    I'm coding in classes and AS2.
    I use the ExternalInterface class to communicate between
    swf's and html.
    The problem is that the Slideshow won't work properly in the
    Opera browser,
    it seems like it's working fine, but after a few click it
    stop responding.
    No problems in IE and FF.
    I've search and search to find a solution to this problem
    with no luck.
    I've put up an example of the slideshow here:
    http://www.coldminer.com/up/sw.php?thumbs=1
    The strange thing is that when I use really simplified
    versions of the code
    I'm using (with no externalInterface etc) it is working fine:
    http://www.coldminer.com/ftest/
    Anyone who have experienced similar problems, and can guide
    me to a solution.
    Opera version: 9.02 (8585)
    Flash player version: 9,0,16,0
    Thank you!
    ** Edit ->
    I found a solution, I replaced th ExternalInterface with the
    "Flash JavaScript Integration Kit",
    and all my problems with Opera was solved.

    Lo stesso problema ce l'ho io. Sembra che flash player 9 non
    riesca a leggere le versioni flash 5. Nell'installare un corso
    contenente flash 5 ho questo errore:

  • I use Photoship CC and have the latest update.  My Filter Menu does not show the Blur Gallery.

    Can anyone tell me why I don't see the Blur Gallery listed on my Filter menu?

    Why did you have to call Support?  An Adobe Engineer who programs Photoshop gave you the answer a whole day ago.
    Of course the Blur Gallery is available in version 14.2.1.  It's just not called out in the same place in the menu structure as in the newer versions.

  • Layer disappear when using blur gallery

    The same thing happens on all three blur gallery effects (field blur, iris blur, tilt shift). Once I pick the filter the layer becomes empty. The strange thing is that when I manipulate any of the controls the object appears, but once I stop holding the mousebutton down on the input. The object disappears again. When i apply the settings (enter or the ok buttoon). The layer is empty. WTF?!?
    I have used these filters a lot, this just happend suddenly. And I can't fix it. Restart does not help.
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 running on MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz i7, osx 10.8.3.

    You are probably right about the video card, because a full restart of the computer solved the problem.

  • Could not apply the Blur Gallery workspace because the file is locked...

    I fixed the permissions 10x times (from Safe Mode as well). I reassigned and reassigned the Permissions. I reset the PS Preferences. I "Uninstall LT5, Uninstall PSCC2014, Unistall Creative Cloud. Reinstall Creative Cloud, Install PSCC 2014 from the Cloud, (and HAVE NOT reinstall) LT5.5 from the Adobe site."; I reinstalled OX 10.10.3. Nothing fixes the problems I am having: CC updater always stopped at 50% and the failed. I will get "Could not apply the Blur Gallery workspace because the file is locked..." any blur from Blur Gallery. I did noticed one thing, I can use any blur from this menu once and then I will get the error message. I will get to use one tool once from the Blur Gallery. Also I couldn't save my keyboard "Short Cut".  Anyone
    I tried everything I can find online and nothing helps. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!!
