Masking won't mask a Photoshop file in button

I have created a button in Flash MX 2004 using a Photoshop
image of a round button. The square Photoshop edges have been
cropped using the mask layer in the button art. It looks the way it
should on screen with the image masked correctly, but when it's
exported the mask covers the Photoshop art with a black shape and
the image isn't masked. What do I need to do to make the mask work
in a button?

Save the file from photoshop as a png file. Open it again in
photoshop to make sure that you see the image with the transparency
the way you want it. Once imported to Flash it will have the
transparency intact and you'll be good ta go.

File with mask from photoshop placed in illustrator

Im having trouble placing an image from photoshop that has a transparent/foreground mask applied to it but when it is placed in illustrator the mask is not transparent and the full photoshop picture is visible. How do I take an image from photoshop with transparency around edges and have it show up looking the same in illustrator? Is this possible?

What file format is your photoshop file, .psd, .tif, & .pdf all support transparency.
Whatever you see in checkerboard pattern in photoshop should be transparent when placed in Illustrator. Did you use a layer mask as I have on Group 1 layer set.

Imported jpeg photos with noise after unsharp mask in photoshop

Hallo, I have this problem with Aperture (last update version). I have some photos in RAW/NEF format, I use Camera Raw for the main adjustment and then I use unsharp mask in photoshop for get sharpening. Photos are saved in jpeg max quality and I import the Jpeg files in Aperture. When I view this photos, for a few seconds photo looks good and sharp (I see loading... indicator). Then photos become blurry and it present a huge noise. If I export one of this photos or I view in Iphoto or in mac Preview, photo is very good. The problem is INSIDE of Aperture. If I don't use unsharp mask (from photoshop), all is ok!!! I tried to import files directly in Iphoto and photos are good.
Thank you.

What your screenshots are showing, is exactly how the sharpening with "unsharp mask" is supposed to work. It emphasizes any variation of the luminance in the image, including the variance due to noise. The threshold parameter should be used to separate noise from the main edges in the photo. By setting this parameter to 0, you have disabled the noise suppression in this filter, and so the result is very noisy, most noticable in the darker regions of the image, where there are no real edges to be sharpened, only noise. I'd recommend to set the threshold to a higher value, I usually use 10-20 or so. My screenshot was computed with a threshold of 15.
But the big question is, why you are not seeing the noise in iPhoto or Preview. Have you pixel-peeped at 100 % in these apps? There must be some kind of filter applied that will reduce the noise that must be present.
Your second question: Why do the jpeg load first as bluury and then gradually become sharper? I only see this happen, when I save the jpegs with the option "Progressive"; this will encode the jpeg in scale-space - a pyramide of images at different resolution. When opening, Aperture will first load the coarse resolution as apreview, and the image will gradually become sharper.

Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4. I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
"Photoshop cannot open this file.
If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates.
If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111"
I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

Photoshop CC will not open files. It also won't call up recent files I had already opened. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Can anyone offer suggestions on how I can have Photoshop CC open jpg files? It won't even open recent files , including files I was working on yesterday. Thanks.

If by right clicking you mean your right clicking on a file on your desktop or in an application like windows file explorer. If you using then Open not open with. You need to make sure you system configuration file extension is associated with Photoshop and the the registration of Photoshop is configured o the correct version of Photoshop. I would think something similar would apply to a Mac OS.
On windows you can use Regedit to check the Photoshop.exe key setting. see if open and edit are correctly set. if not fix the settings.
You can use the control panel default Programs file associations to check and set file extensions associations.

CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD filewon't print because the print dialog box won't appear altho the file properties appear to be the same as other files that do print.

CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD file won't print because the print dialog box won't appear after selecting File > Print. Then "Print" becomes grayed out. The file properties such as permissions, are the same as other PSD files that do print. This file also cannot be converted to Adobe PDF, which is not offered as choice under "Save as", whereas other can be. I've exited, reopened Photoshop, restarted computer, checked out other CS6 PSD files which do print, nothing changes. The 52 MB file has been flattened. OS is Windows 7. Thanks for any suggestions.

Sounds like the printer driver is having some problems.
Try holding the space bar down when you select Print (which makes the print dialog NOT load previously used settings).

_____HELP!_Illustrator file won't open "Photoshop file is not readable"

Help!
My Illustrator file won't open - it starts to, then after 1 second I get the error message: "Photoshop file is not readable"
Any suggestions?

Right now I am also having the same problem! Eeek! If anyone has a workaround that'll be awesome. Unfortunately, this is the only post I've seen that someone else has the same problem.
Anyway, this is what I did...
I made some images in photoshop and I linked them to my illustrator file. I saved several various versions of my illustrator file... but now all 10 versions of them won't work! I can't figure it out. I tried re-saving my PSD file (that I had all the images in) and yep.. no cigar.

Admin permissions won't let me save photoshop files

I moved my MacBook Pro to my son and made him administrator. That worked fine, but now something must have happened because he now can't save Photoshop files anymore as photoshop says he doesn't have permissions. He's running Snow Leopard as he has to use Canvas X, which won't run in Lion. Anyone have an idea what may be screwing up permissions? He did run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility. He is listed as the administrator in Accounts. He also made sure the file Get Info permissions allowed the Admin. He even changed the Get Info permissions to enable everyone.

He's just trying to save a tiff file from PhotoShop back over the original tiff on the Mac's internal hard drive.
He changed the permissions to allow everyone access on the original tiff that he had Opened in PhotoShop.
A little more history: He had an unrecoverable hard drive crash about 2 months ago. So we installed the backup drive that had a SuperDuper copy of the crashed drive that was about 3 weeks old (from the crashed drive's data).
This drive worked fine until this week when the clock reset to 2000. That's the same time the permissions problems started.
I had earlier made him the administrator, but now he had to login with my password and I was shown as the startup admin. Since I was the original owner and admin, I had placed all my applications in the top level Applications folder of the hard drive, not in my Home Applications folder; and now it appeared that he only had access to Applications in the Home folder as a User instead of Admin, thus explaining why he didn't have access to the applications he needed.
So he reset the PRAM to address the clock and other screwy things.
Now he is shown as the administrator in System Preferences>Accounts, but without the permissions of an administrator.

Photoshop file won't fit

Hi,
I'm working on a pal anamorphic project in which I'd like to import a photoshop file, with a gap inside to use video in. I made the file using the photoshop cs3 video preferences. Saved it as a psd 1024x576 not anamorphic. The sequence has the same size and is anamorphic. The dimension 16:9 look good, but the file won't fit in the canvas.
Resizing the file with motiontab cuts the file, but doesn't cover the whole picture.
Any ideas? Do I have to save the file otherwise?

In Photoshop: click File > New.
Click on Preset: Custom (it might display Clipboard instead), and choose:
"PAL D1/DV Widescreen, 720 x 576 (with guides)".
Set the background to "Transparent".
If you plan on flying the logo to or from a larger size change resolution to something higher than the standard 72dpi. 150 dpi works well for this sort of thing. Click OK.
Place your graphics inside this template, observing safe area and safe title as needed.
If your logo is not rectangular, use Layers > "Merge Visible" and save as .tiff with alpha to keep its shape.
Import to FCP and set the Distort control to zero as mentioned above.

This file does not appear to be a Photoshop file - Menu won't import

I was searching on the forums and found that some other people have had this problem, but I didn't see any solutions.
When I try to build my DVD from Encore, I get this error "This fiel does not appear to be a Photoshop file.
I created my menu in Photoshop CS4, imported it as a menu. When I preview in Encore it works fine?
The photoshop file is 8 bit color...should it be 16? I tried that to, but it doesn't seem to change anything?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

The 2 bit image object that shows up to the right of the buttons on the highlighted state still was a little too crisp, but
I'm going to try a little vertical blur like you said to see what happens.
Well, the Vertical Blur will not work there. The Sub-picture Highlights cannot have any Styles, or Filters added to them. What I do to "simulate" a "glow" is to to create a second Sub-picture Highligh, in the next Layer down (in the same Button Layer Set)t, ever so slightly larger. I then set it's Transparency in Encore to be about 50%-30% of what the "original" Sub-picture Highlight's Transparency was. You can also assign another number from the Menu Color Set (this is done in PS), and then adjust that number's value in Encore to be a shade lighter of the original Sub-picture Highlight's. You will end up with maybe a 2 and a 3, and need to pick those colors from a Custom Color Set in Encore - cannot be done in PS, at least through CS3 and I do not believe in CS4 either. That might bear checking out, with someone like Jeff Bellune, or Jbowden. See this LINK for some tips, and this one for the full ARTICLE. The link to the version posted on Adobe has been lost, with the changeover in the forum. You can post and read at Muvipix.com, without a subscription, or even the free signup. Because of the wealth of Functional Content, stock music and Menus, etc., you might want to spend a bit of time poking around there.
Though most of the article and discussion revolve around removing part of the Sub-picture Highlight, the final steps are for adding what appears to be a Blur. Remember, you only have ON, OFF, COLOR (limited to 4, including the background) and TRANSPARENCY, for each pixel in a Sub-picture Highlight. That's why you cannot have Styles, or similar. You have to create the illusion.
Also, I created my lower third in Photoshop and saved out a .PNG file to import into Premiere.
When I play the DVD, there seems to be some noise in the title. Do you think that's because of how
I saved the video out or because I used a .PNG?
I do not know. I have never used the PNG format. Instead, I create all of my Titles (the ones that I do outside of Titler) in PS, often using AI for shapes, that will be Rasterized in the process. I do my Titles there, and then Save_As .PSD. If I wish to animate some of the Layers, I'll Import as a Sequence, if not, I Import as Footage. I always start from the image Preset to match my Project, so frame size and PAR are right to begin with. The only reason that I can think of for using PNG is the Transparency, but PSD offers that, and so much more.
There is much that one can do with the animation of PSD Layers in PrPro. It's not as powerful, or as full-featured, as is AE, but many are surprised at how good it is.
Best news is that you are almost there, and that things looked good on the DVD. If you have any trouble following the steps for the simulated Glow in the second Sub-picture Highlight, just let me know. It's been a whle, since I wrote that, and might need to re-visit it myself.
Good luck,
Hunt

Lightroom won't open my RAW files in Photoshop

I've had this problem for a few months now, but I thought I'd test the waters and see if there's anyone out there who can help me now. Here is a video of what happens when I try to open ANY raw file from ANY camera type in Lightroom to edit in Photoshop. This happens if I go through the menus or if I control+e to open them.
Photoshop CC Opening RAW Problem - vidme
I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I have reinstalled PS first and LR second like some have suggested. I've gone as far as reformatting my ENTIRE computer TWICE with two different OS versions and installing LR+PS on those versions, still no luck. My workaround has been editing the RAW files in LR, saving the metadata, then navigating to the folder in finder and opening the RAW files directly into PS. That works, but is horribly inefficient.
Anyone have any ideas? I am on the latest versions of LR and PS with my CC subscription.

Photoshop files won't open in an way but inside Photoshop

I just set up a new Intel Mac Pro and installed Photoshop CS4 on it.
Now when I try to open Photoshop files by just clicking on them none of them will open in anything but Preview.
The only way I can get any to open is through the "file - open" window inside Photoshop, which is a big waste of time.
Everything worked fine on my other Mac, but now on this new one many things have changed even though it's the exact same program.
And I can't find any settings that effect this.
How can I change it?
THANKS!

Click once on a closed file (to highlight it) then from Finder go File>Get Info. In the Get Info window chose Open with: Photoshop CS4 and click the Change All button.

Cannot Apply Layer Mask in Photoshop CS6

First off, let me state that I am a *total* Ps newbie…My question regards the following: In Ps CS6, I cropped an area using the Marquee Tool. Then, I Added [a] Layer Mask from the Layers Panel. Next, I turned off the Indicates layer mask is linked to layer BUTTON, clicked the Smart Object Thumbnail, and moved the image using the Move Tool. Now, I right-clicked on the Layer Mask Thumbnail in order to Apply Layer Mask but it is de-highlighted. This is my problem. I cannot figure out how to Apply [the] Layer Mask. (I hope this all made sense.) Can someone please tell me how to do this in CS6? TY.

Thank you for the quick reply. I started the whole process over again and went through the same steps; and, I don't know if it shows up in the screen capture, but there is, indeed, a frame around the Layer Mask Icon when I right-click on it. The above pull-down menu is what I get when I right-click on it. (BTW, this is for a CS5 online course I'm taking, and this particular Lesson is called "Generating a Non-Destructive Crop." I'm having to figure some stuff out, since I have CS6...) I hope all that info helps.
