  • CS3 - Opening up a Fireworks PSD in Photoshop

    This is the first time I've actually had this issue, maybe becuase I've never created a psd so deep in groups before.   When opening a psd in photoshop, that was created in fireworks, I'm unable to see sub groups and the objects, layers, text within those group folders, specifically I'm unable to see 6 group folders deep.  Now I've searched the forums and can't seem to find anything to assist and I was wondering if I can correct this.  Can anyone assist?
    Note: I realize that if you don't save the file properly in fireworks by showing all, then it won't save and show some layers in photoshop, so I've manually opened up and made all folders, objects, layers, etc... visible in fireworks before saving as psd and opening it up in photoshop. (I also used the show all options as well in fireworks). I also realized I should be able to see 6 folders deep in photoshop, but I did notice that is also the limit for sub groups, is this a limited to assist with file size issues? or an oversite by developers of the application?, I've gone as much as 15 in fireworks so I'm confused as to why photoshop is limited.  I'm also aware that the folders are called sub layers in fireworks and they are called groups in photoshop.
    Thank you in advance for any and all help.
    -Salvo

    Photoshop CS3/CS4 only supports 5 levels of nested layer groups.
    The limit is there to keep your memory usage from going through the roof.
    It sounds like Fireworks produced an illegal PSD file.
    You need to open the original file in Fireworks and reduce the level of layer groups/folders.
    Also, file a bug report so the Fireworks team can look into their problem writing illegal PSD files.

  • Where can I get the texture file puzzle.psd for Photoshop CS4?

    Does anyone know where I can get the texture file puzzle.psd for Photoshop CS4?  I searched the web and got lots of links but none of them results in me downloading the puzzle.psd file.

    Thanks for pointing to this free puzzle action!  I ended up discovering several other great actions (both commercial and free) that I have a use for on the website of the puzzle action author.

  • When I recently update to photoshop 2014 I lost my access inside photoshop to perfect effects 8.  I still have it on my laptop but it is not available to load as an extension?

    When I recently update to photoshop 2014 I lost my access inside photoshop to perfect effects 8.  I still have it on my laptop but it is not available to load as an extension?

    What OS do you have?  You say you have explained what you had (computer/opsys) but I honestly don't see it here.  If you had mentioned that my advice would have been different; I believe you can only upgrade as far as Camera Raw 8.3 on an older Windows system.  There is more information here (look specifically for the "Revert to 8.3 ..." titles).
    Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
    What you've done/written in your last post confuses things further, unfortunately.  Photoshop 13.1 is strictly a Creative Cloud version.  The highest you can go is Photoshop CS6 13.0.1.3 with perpetual license.
    And as far as I can recall, that version can work on Windows back to XP:
    System requirements | Photoshop
    I don't think you're out of luck, but you seem to be leaping into doing things without having the full story, and are jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly.
    Here's what I suggest you try:
    1.  Remove Photoshop entirely with the Creative Suite Removal Tool: 
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    2.  Install Photoshop CS6 from your original media or from here: 
    Download CS6 products
    3.  Update the application using its own Help - Updates process.  That really should get you the latest Camera Raw version that will work.  If that does not bring you a Camera Raw that works with your Nikon, use the "Revert to 8.3" instructions above.

  • Not able to see the content of opened files (.jpg or .psd) in Photoshop CS6

    I recently downloaded Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6.  I am not able to see the content of any of the file I open (.psd or .jpg).  I do see the file has been opened as the file name appears on the open file tabs, I also see the preview of the file in the Navigator Window and list of layers in the layers window.  I am relatively new to this so might be missing on some option that needs to be turned on or something. 
    I am using Window 7 Professional, Service Pack 1, with 8GB RAM.
    Any suggesstion/help is greatly appreciated.

    This is going to be the weak point:
    Intel(R) HD Graphics card
    While the Intel HD chip is fine for general computer work, it is weak for programs, like Photoshop and Adobe Premiere. The driver support is usually very bad, as well. If Lenovo does not have updated drivers, that work better, about the only choice that one has with a laptop is to turn OFF graphics accleration, and wait for a new driver. That will probably be very slow in coming.
    Good luck,

  • Faces lost after editing in Photoshop Elements 6

    I just upgraded to iLife '09. I use iPhoto 8.1.2 to organize my photos and Photoshop Elements 6 to edit them externally. My problem: when I edit a photo that has Faces data in PE 6 and then view the (updated) photo in iPhoto, the face data is gone and I have to reassign it manually. I don't think this is how it's supposed to work, otherwise what's the point of using an external editor. I've rebuilt my iPhoto Library a couple time to no effect. Appreciate any help on this.

    How are you editing with PSE in iPhoto? I may be preaching to the choir here but FWIW:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

  • Problems printing PSD from Photoshop CS4

    My questions are: Does the PSD file have the printer information encoded?
    Also why has this just started to show up? My wife has work successfully under the same conditions, files moved and printed on different printers, with no problems in the past.
    I (we) have been struggling with a recent problem trying to print PSD files from Photoshop CS4. (Vista 32 bit, Epson 3880 networked)  When trying to print certain, but not all, PSD files I get the message: "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."  I have been in contact with Adobe support about the issue but with little in the way of positive results.  I was referred to a kb link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/409/kb409119.html   Tried all that to no avail.  (The first suggestion is absurd to the point of making me wonder what process is used to construct the kbs.  You cannot open the print menu when you get this message so....?)
    Other solutions are not acceptable for the work my wife is doing, editing high quality photographs for an exhibition with test prints and so on.  We are under intense time pressue with four shows coming up in a very short time.  The final solution offered is that CS5 has solved all of this.  Hum?  interesting.  No comment except new program, new problems so not a real solution for us.
    In searching the web about this problem I have come across many other people with the same problem working from different platforms and even different Adobe products.  I noticed that the MAC OS seemed to cause the same problem and that there was a problem with Reader and Acrobat.  In every case the problem is never solved by Adobe or anyone else and users find some "workaround".  I too have found what we hope is a workaround in our contiued travels on the blogosphere, on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/wellington/discuss/72157621548183001/ as "...a nasty, nasty solution" but we skipped the flatten part and the GIMP part and resave the PSD under a different name.
    Adobe does seem supportive but not that interested (CS4 right) but I would like to find a real solution and I think many people would benefit from it.
    Anyway what I have found is that the PSD files that will not print have been printed on another printer at some time in the past. In my case the Printer was an Epson Artisan A50.  The printer we are using now is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880.  Even when trying to print wirelessly to the 3880 from the laptop (Was Vista, now Windows 7) that was used to edit and print with the A50, (USB connection) we saw the same error.  So it seems that the printer information is somehow embedded in the PSD file (also mentioned in a Blog) and is keeping PS from seeing the printer because the same printer is not there.
    Has anybody already found the fix?
    I know this is a long post but I have been working on this problem and have heard all of the pat and frankly useless answers and workarounds.  Can we find a solution and fix the problem?

    Tech support put me on hold for about 30 minutes to 'look up my serial number'.  When he came back he started saying he did find my serial nu..... and he hung up.  I had already given him my callback number.  Yet he never called me back when we were 'disconnected'. There is no excuse for him not calling me back.  I have no reason to believe this was anything other than intentional avoidance of the problem.  Before he started looking up my serial number, he told me that Photoshop didn't support working with files on a network drive (???).  He also told me that even if it was found to be an actual defect in the product, I still owed the $39.  The $39 was "not for finding the defect... it was for the technician's time.... (???)  Where do they find these people to answer the phones?
    Sorry about the venting... I'm just losing money by the day, and I get to pay for these kinds of moronic statements.
    Here's the situation, yet one more time.....
    1) I complete a PSD file and save it
    2) I print it on one of the printers accessible by that machine
    3) I then try to close the PSD, but it says the 'file has changed'  The ONLY thing that has changed is that I PRINTED it.  So you can't tell me PS is not saving at least something about the printing task in the file
    4) If I say 'no' to the save-after-print question, I can go to another computer, open the same file and print with no problem
    5) If I say 'yes' to the save-after-print question, and I go to another computer and try to print the file, I get the "In order to perform printing tasks you must define a printer" message
    6) This scenario applies to any machine.  Once I hit 'save' after printing, that PSD can now never be printed on any other machine other than that one.
    7) And this is a user problem (???)
    Somebody please tell me:
    1) why PS marks a file 'changed' and requires saving after doing nothing other than printing it if it is not saving printer history/setup in the file?
    2) Why I can print the PSD from any computer with PS installed as long as I don't do a save after printing from one, but as soon as I do a save after print, the file is basically locked permanently to that one machine forever?
    Right... and they want a minimum of $39 to tell me a) this is a user problem, b) Photoshop doesn't support files on a shared network drive; c) "...NO.... we don't save printer information in the file, and d) get hung up on with no callback.
    I have 40 years of experience in software architecture and development.  I know enough to know a little bit about how these things work.  And I also have been around long enough to recognize intentional denial of a product defect by the support team.

  • Raw Images opened and saved as TIFF of PSD in photoshop not added to LR library

    Images opening from LR to PS6 are opened as CR2 files (canon) and then saved in PS - the resulting saved images are PSD files. These files are not added to the LR catalog without re-importing them. This behavior is different than it was in CS5 - in CS5 they are opened as PSD and immediately added to the LR catalog. I want the same bahavior in CS6. In LR I have set preferences to open files as PSD but they are not PSD until they are saved in PS.

    The behaviour you are now seeing when using CS6 is normal when Lightroom and Photoshop are in sync in respect of the ACR level, i.e. the derivative PSD/TIFF is NOT created until you hit Save in PS. When the ACR levels are not in sync (i.e. the PS version is lower than the LR version, as is the case using LR4 and CS5) the "ACR Mis-match" dialog appears (though you may have ticked the "Do Not Show Me Again" box after selecting "Render Using Lightroom") and in that situation the derivative file is created by Lightroom, so you see it appear in LR before it is opened into PS. The fact that the filename that you see in CS6 shows the CR2 extension is not an issue (PS always retains the raw file's full name until it is saved as a derivative file....try opening a raw file directly into CS5/CS6 from outside Lightroom and you'll see), and it will change as soon as you select Save, at which point you should also see the PSD/TIFF appear in Lightroom.
    So the only question is, why are you not seeing it? Can you confirm that when you are done in PS that you are selecting "Save" and not "Save As"? And that Lightroom is still running when you do that? And what source are you working from: Folder, Collection, Smart Collection? When you import the PSD, is "Do not import suspected duplicates" cheched or unchecked?

  • Can't import PSD from Photoshop

    This is weird. Trying to import a PSD file. Error message from PPro cs6 is "We were unable to open the file on disk."
    The file is a still image that came to me as a JPG. I read it into Photoshop cs6, cropped it, made the canvas 1920 x 1080 (to match the size of the PPro sequence), did some retouching, and ended by running the Broadcast Safe Luminance action on it. Then I saved it into the PPro project folder as a *.PSD file. Like I've done hundreds of times now with dozens of PPro projects.
    Went to PPro cs6. Found the file using Media Browswer. File...Import From Media Browswer gives me a pop-up Preview In Source Monitor Failure window with the "We are unable to open the file on disk." error message.
    What makes this all the more frustrating is that PPro can find and open the file that I worked on just prior to this one. Same conditions, same workflow, same directory, same protections on the files (I did check that). The two files look to be exactly the same except for the file name, and the file contents. Everything else is as identical as I can make it. And none of my disk drives are even half full, so it shouldn't be a space issue.
    So if PPro can read one, why can't it read the other? And what can I do to get PPro to behave properly and read the file? The files don't seem to be corrupted -- Photoshop can read both of them just fine. In any case, I've recreated the problem file from the *.jpg source several times now so I think I can rule file corruption coming from Photoshop out. Maybe.
    I've wracked my brain for 90 minutes trying to figure out what changed between the first file that works, and the second one that doesn't. I've come up empty. I worked on one, then the other, then imported the first on into PPro (which worked), then imported the second one into PPro (which failed). Exact same source (both files were *.jpg attachements on the same email), same workflow, saved into the same directory. ARGHHHH!!!
    I've done most of the "usual suspects". I've exited out of both Photoshop and PPro and restarted. I've saved the problem file in other fomats (same error no matter what format). So I turned to Teh Google, which didn't turn up much that pertained. Couldn't find anything in the Adobe help docs. So, anyone here tell me what's going on?
    Bruce Watson

    Few things to check - is the Color Mode of the PSD RGB. It cannot be CMYK, or a few others.
    I have had issues with Smart Objects, in that sometimes, they Import fine, but not always.
    Tiny Layers (just a couple of pixels x pixels) have cause problems.
    Adjustment Layers have been known to cause problems.
    Normal Layers, so long as not tiny, always work perfectly for me.
    Nothing else that comes to my mind, but good luck,

  • Unexpected end of file occurred while opening Photoshop CC psd in Photoshop Cs4

    Can anyone help me? I'm using Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 7 at home and Photoshop CS4 at school. I get an Unexpected end of file occurred when I try to open my assignements at school.
    How can this be fixed?
    Thank you!

    Hi Curt...I'm new here, so I'll get the hang of it.  Thank you for your quick response.  I'm using the Mac OS X version 10.6.8  I'm a digital artist and was working on a psd file.  I use a wacom tablet and all of a sudden everything stopped responding.  I had to force quit Photoshop and open again.  That's when the window telling me an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.  So much work has gone into this piece of artwork, so needless to say, I'm beyond frustrated.  I had saved this work along the way just so I wouldn't lose it, but now this unexpected twist.  I will try what you suggested to see if it will help. 
    Again THANK YOU!

  • Image quality lost through editing with Photoshop?

    I find a number of professionals using Lightroom as their primary photo editor. 
    I did a search on Lightroom vs Photoshop.  I found the following listed as the first reason for choosing Lightroom: 1.  Nondestructive Editing.  Nothing is actually changed (by Lightroom) in an image until it is exported.  This means you can make an adjustment, change it again and again, but no quality is lost as it would be with Photoshp.  This is reported in Outdoor Photographer.
    My impression is there is no lost of image quality in Photoshop if you are working on a layer copy of the Background.  Photoshop tries to prevent degradation of the original image by requiring it be copied  or otherwise freed before the background can be changed.
    Image quality can be lost in downstream layers through processes such as changing image size. 
    Is my statement correct about loss of image quality and the 'analyst' from Outdoor Photographer misstating things?

    Hi Vince.
    I am just learning my way around Photoshp.  I have spent 18 months learning how to start and to stop it.
    Good point. But if we peg the learning curve of Ps at 10, Lr comes in around 2 or 3. Like learning to drive a car as opposed to learning to fly a jet.
    Smart Objects would make PS more re-editable.
    True, but still no match for Lr or Ps RAW.
    I have never before seens a comment that extensive work on an image in PS would deteriorate the quality of the image.
    Extensive work will do what the user asks it to do. In the first 18 months I had Ps, I asked it to do lots of things that I now realize deteriorated my images. Forever.
    Regarding LR, I have created for me a workflow that requires PS.
    So did everyone before Lr came out. And yet, Ps users by the thousands, if not millions, have adopted Lr. Many if not most with a greater time investment in Ps than 18 months. I dropped my Ps centric flo the moment I realized what Lr could do. I had been using Ps pretty heavily for about 5 years by that time.
    I feel LR works best for experienced photographers who are shoooting a lot of pictures.
    While it's true that experienced photographers might realize more benifit, maybe not. It works great for everyone.
    That person has good images, images that need little editing, to start the output process.
    This is not true in the sense that the majority of Lr users are mediocre photographers at best. For the simple fact that most photographers (even "pros") are mediocre at best. And Lr was conceived with these folks in mind. It has the true "pro" stuff, but in an amateur friendly environment. Judging by the images and questions posted on photo and Lr forums, there are many, many, low level photographers using it.
    I am an inexperienced photographer shooting just a few pictures.  So I put a lot of effort into getting a good print from my mediocre shots.
    You obviously care about your images. Care more when you are shooting them. This is boiler plate advice. Time spent mastering your camera will pay off better dividends than learning to fix bad photos. This was true before the digital age, and it's just as true now. Ultimately, no matter how hard you massage it in Ps, Lr, or any other app, the quality of your final image will be a function of the quality of the original pixels you captured with you camera.
    So far as masks and all the rest, Lr has an Local Area Adjustment Brush which does just that. You paint the mask, complete with any number or combination of adjustments, with a brush. The mask and the adjustments to it can be easily changed later. A good spot removal tool. A great red eye tool.
    File size isn't a huge factor these days, but it still counts. Instead of layers and the pixel data for each of them as in Ps, Lr has the pixel data once, and a sidecar file with the adjustments settings in a much smaller file. Not a big deal for storage, but when rendering, maybe a bigger deal. Lr also pre-renders previews at various sizes (you can program this, plus how long it keeps them). I could go on and on (and I have).
    Bottom line, it's a great tool for anyone who takes photos. For the price, it's a no brainer for $150. If you have the $150. Not true for many of us these days.
    Anyway, Vince,  I hope you don't think I'm picking on you. I answered you in detail because you made such good points. And the answers might be of general interest.
    Peace,
    Lee
