Minimize window problems in photoshop cs5

just installed master collection cs5 on my macbook pro - 17", 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo, 8Gb RAM, running Snow Leopard.
couple of problems - i can't minimize photoshop windows by double clicking on the window title bar - i can in every other program including all cs5 apps. also, when i first use a tool (brush, marquee, stamp etc), it doesn't register that i have used it until i try a second time
anyone else having similar problems? if so, did you solve it?

Um, I'd like to reboot this thread to say that Adobe didn't really fix the issue, they seem to have applied brute force. I have "double-click title bar to minimize" turned OFF in my System Preferences. It seems that Adobe's "fix" was to make "doubleclick to minimize" an uncancellable "feature" that overrides the System Preferences.
I have a Wacom and I am constantly, inadvertantly "double-clicking" the title bar.
Don't tell me to fiddle with my Wacom settings, I already have "double click distance" set to maximum. Don't go blaming Wacom for the brute force fix you've created. I do not want this "feature" at all.
Since I am pretty this won't merit an incremental update to fix this, could an Adobe employee at least verify that what I say is true, that Adobe chose to override System Preferences for "double-click title bar to minimize  window" and did not offer a radio checkbox in preferences?
Could Adobe please consider adding this to the preference pane if they don't plan on coding it to be consistent with System Preferences?

    @I run a Windows 8.1 -  Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
    If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
    I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
    Ram available = 1588 MB
    Range = 873 -1143 MB
    Recommended Photoshop usage range =  857  however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
    The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

    Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins.  They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

  • Problem with Photoshop CS5. Memory and Harddisk spaces

    Just got CS5 Master Suite. Whenever I open photoshop it takes a ton of memory 1 gig +. When I open files it takes up more and more until it takes up all my memory and hard disk space. I open a simple multi layered file that is 25 megs in size to work on it. Before I know it photoshop is taking 20gigs+ of my hard disk space along with 3+ gigs of system memory. Is there a memory problem in photoshop cs5?
    Thanks!
    Joseph

    So I just opened the 25 meg file in photoshop cs5 and watched my free space on my hard drive go down 8 gigs the instant I opened it. It went from 27 gigs of freespace to 19 instantly.
    I am running a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6., 4 gigs of ram on board.
    anyone else having simular problems?

    UPDATE:
    So I just opened the 25 meg file  in photoshop cs5 and watched my free space on my hard drive go down 8  gigs the instant I opened it. It went from 27 gigs of freespace to 19  instantly. As I open more files and close others it works till my harddrive goes to zero space... stalls the computer big time. Only way to correct it is to quit photoshop cs5 and wait a few minutes for the space to return... and it takes a few minutes for it all to return.

  • Windows cannot find Photoshop CS5 Error in Bridge

    This is really about Photoshop CS6 Beta but this error is generated whenever I tried to open a file from Bridge, either Bridge [12.1 or 13.0].  It was frustrating at first.
    I tried to figure out why I was receiving this message.  Originally, I had Photoshop CS5 on my system.  Then, I upgraded to Photoshop CS5 Extended.  Finally, I installed Photoshop CS6 Beta.  After the last install, I decided to uninstall Photoshop CS5 which I no longer used.  These are 64-bit programs but I doubt that makes a difference.  Whenever I opened Bridge for Photoshop CS5 Extended or Photoshop CS6 Beta, the shown error would generate.  After reviewing the error closely, I decided to try and look at file associations but not in Windows as I had no problems elsewhere.  It must be in Bridge.
    I went to Edit -> Preferences and found a File Type Associations section with every file type it uses.  Sure enough, by clicking on the triangle to the right of the file type, it showed only Photoshop.  By clicking on Browse and going to the Photoshop CS6 Beta folder, I was able to change a couple of the ones I use exclusively and clicked OK.  Afterwards, no problems.  To change each and every one of those is going to require some time on my part.
    This brings up an important question regarding upgrades.  I think most of us upgrade before uninstalling the old version.  Here are my questions:
    1. Why did not the Bridge associated with the extended version change the file associations to the appropriate version of CS5 when it was installed?
    2. Why did not the Bridge associated with Photoshop CS6 Beta change the file associations to this version when installed?
    At the very least, it should be an option but I think it should actually point to the new version.  Is this a bug in the Bridge software?  I know Bridge is used for other Adobe applications but this definitely seems to be a bug when the only application iis Photoshop.  I have Lightroom 4 also installed but this application does not use Bridge.  Can this be corrected?

    Looks like bridge is still trying to run the old version.  Did you uninstall Photoshop CC after installing Photoshop CC 2014?
    Have you made sure and fully closed Bridge and reopened it?  Logging off and back on would ensure that.
    Failing the above, people have reported success with using the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool followed by a reinstall of Photoshop CC 2014...

  • Cannot Open TIF file in LR3 but no problem in Photoshop CS5 or PE9 or any other software

    Hi - I have a folder with about 300 tif files provided by someone else (I have no idea how they were produced). They use LZW compression and most of them are under 1mb in size.
    I can open them in Photoshop CS5, PE 9, Paintshop Pro, Irfanview, Picassa, etc. without any problems.
    When I try to import this folder LR3 gives the following message "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged".
    I have uploaded a sample file http://www3.sympatico.ca/david.broughton/sample.tif
    While I have worked around this by using Irfanview to do a batch conversion to jpg (the resulting files are successfully added to the catalog by LR3), I am hoping to understand this issue a little better to hopefully avoid it in the future.
    Any insights would be welcome.
    Thanks

    The file should be called RT_sRGB.icm so you can search your hard-drive for that.
    If you cannot find it, then you can download one from the RAWTherapee Google Code repository.  Here is the branch for the RT color profiles.  After you click on the profile you want, you can see various bits of information about changes, but to download the file, itself, click the “View raw file” link at the lower right:
    http://code.google.com/p/rawtherapee/source/browse/rtdata/iccprofiles/output/
    Once you have the file, right-click on it in Windows Explorer and choose Install Profile, which should copy it to the standard location of:
    C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color

  • COM Problem windows7 & Photoshop CS5

    Hello,
    I am having a bit of a problem with instancing com objects for both photoshop x64 and x32 versions. both of which I have installed, and need available, due to legacy 32 bit plugins our studio relies upon for certain things.
    The problem is that there seems to be only entries for the 64 bit version of CS5 in the registry.
    Looking at the objects available in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT I have
    Photoshop.Application
    Photoshop.Application.12
    Photoshop.Application.12.1
    if I trace back the CLSID to  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{xxx-xxx-....}\LocalServer32 this points to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe /Automation" for all of them. This is the same for each of the other objects such as Photoshop.JPEGSaveOptions etc..
    all set the LocalServer32 to the 64 bit version. How can I get entries for the 32 bit version aswell?
    I am guessing it might be possible to itterate all Photoshop.X entries in the registry and create new versions with new clsids that have the LocalServer32 set to the 32 bit version of photoshop?
    Any help appriciated
    thanks

    Wow for sure! Here is some experiments I do to see what is going on. This is on a 64 bit windows 7 machine. I run as admistrator and with that annoying "are you sure you want to run the thing you just tried to run" OFF. User Access Control (UAC) I think is the official name.
    I open up a command prompt, cmd.exe, in 64 bit mode. Window-R "cmd" (I haven't tried this with a 32 bit cmd prompt (H:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe).
    Go to where the Sample Scripts are, doesn't matter wich version as the vbs files are the same. Mine is here:
    H:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Scripting\Sample Scripts\VBScript
    Make sure no photoshop is running and type in:
    cscript Trim.vbs
    Wait for the script to complete but do not hit the "ok" yet on the script.
    Launch windows task manager and note that both Photoshop (you can tell when the splash screen launches as well) and csript are in 64 bit mode.
    Now hit ok and quit Photoshop, wait for them both to be gone from task manager and type in:
    \Windows\SysWOW64\cscript Trim.vbs
    Now you see that both Photoshop and cscript are in 32 bit mode.
    Now trying to "cross the wires" does not work.
    Launch 64 bit photoshop first, then try to run the 32 bit script. You see that 32 bit won't launch, we block both 32 and 64 bit running at the same time, and the cscript will time out. Doing the 32 bit Ps and 64 bit cscript will cause the same problem.
    Hope that helps you and you could be a way that you control which version of Photoshop gets launched for your case. I thought I read somewhere that you could talk from a 32 bit to a 64 bit via VBScript (OLE Automation) (Automation) but never could find or build a real example.

  • Having problems with Photoshop CS5 running on 34 bit Vista

    I recently downloaded CS5 Design premium, and I seem to be having trouble running bridge.  I'm using MS Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2 on an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600  @ 2.40GHz.  3gb of RAM and 256MB GeForce 8500 GT graphics card (if that matters).  I was wondering if there is a way to fix this, or maybe a 32-bit version of Photoshop CS5.
    And if there isn't, is there a way to remove the bridge access buttons from photoshop?  Seeing something useless in a five hundred dollar program bothers me quite a bit.  Thanks in advance.

    Apparently, something went wrong with your Photoshop installation. I would try fully uninstalling Photoshop and then run the "CS5 cleaner tool" (see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html). Then try reinstalling making sure you turn off all anti-virus software and UAC (User Account Control) and run as an Administrator equivalent.
    If you still have problems, please contact Adobe Technical support directly.
    To answer you question about the buttons, no, there is no way of disabling that functionality.

  • Windows 8.1 Photoshop CS5.1 D800 NEF Files won't open?

    I have recently installed windows 8.1 and as a result I had to reinstall Photoshop CS5.1. After doing so I find that Photoshop will not open my Nikon D800 NEF files. I have downloaded and installed the raw file updates from both Windows and Nikon but the files still are not recognized by CS5.1. The files did open with no problems when I was running Windows 7.
    Any suggestions?

    What you need to update is the Camera Raw plugin in Photoshop (ACR). Reinstalling Photoshop reverts ACR to the shipping version.
    You need the very latest ACR version that will run under Photoshop CS5, which is ACR 6.7. This was also the first ACR version to support the D800.

  • Fluid Mask 3 Problems in Photoshop CS5?

    Hello,
    I have been using Fluid Mask 3 to edit trees and skies in my photographs. When I am in Fluid Mask, I can get the mask to work perfectly and there is no fringing around the leaves or branches of the trees, no matter how fine the detail is. Impressive. The problem is when I go back to Photoshop and drop in another sky behind the trees, fringing reappears at the trees edges. In Photoshop, I use the defringing option which helps a bit but it is not perfect. I am perplexed my Fluid Mask 3. Why can't I get the same file in Fluid Mask 3 into Photoshop? There has to be a way I can get the exact file from Fluid Mask 3 into Photoshop CS5. Your help would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    David

    You'll have to ask the makers of FluidMask3 about that.
