Photo shop question

Why do I have 3 eyedroppers when i go to edit a photo?

They are for measuring/comparing/changing highlight, midtone and shadow (white gray black) values in an image. Often an image scene is biased and needs help, to get "centered". This is avery basic description of eyedroppers in image adjustment menus. In other areas a similar tool is used to measure color values. You can set these starting values and play until you get a feel for how they work...

Negative reviews are common place here as it is a trouble shooting forum. If you want to read the advantages, improvements and new features then go to the Apple site. If you are running Word 2004, Early Adobe suite, etc which are PPC programs, then don't update. Go to Apple logo in upper left menu bar, open About this mac > More Info > Software >Applications and sort by 'Kind' and look what PPC programs you have installed. If you are not prepared to upgrade these programs, then do not update to Lion.
There are plenty of threads to read up on about this here. But remember that 99.9% of comments will be negative, even though the forums represent only a tiny fraction of the Millions of Lion Downloads purchased and installed with no issues at all. So basically it's your call.
Good Luck

I need to register my PS and I have the numbers but it wont let me register online, only on the phone. So I called the number and it I have to take a surve for a freaking trip that I DON"T want. If I don't regiester my photo shop it will not stay up. How

I called the number to register my photo shop but I have answer some questions for a freaking trip that I don't want supposed to be "FREE" and I asked to be redirected but the people wont do it. They hung up on me twice. Can someone PLEASE help me register my Photo shop? It will not stay open if it is not registered.

This whole deal reeks. I do not know where you got your product from, but that's not how Adobe Photoshop works.
Go here first: Contact Customer Care
That is the official contact.
Contact Customer Care by chat or Phone.
If the website you went on is not www.adobe.com, close the browser.
If the number is for a "survey" to "win a trip", hang up. It's a scam to get your credit card in order to "secure" the trip.

I am totally lost on navigating these forums...Reloading Acrobat, Bridge, and Photo Shop Elements

I posted this question somewhere and a couple people answered it, but I cannot find it for the life of me! I am navigating different browsers trying to get back to my old Firefox, which I think I've managed to do.
My computer went in the shop and had to have a damaged hard drive replaced. How do I re-load the software without getting dinged for it again? I do not know what versions I had to start with. Acrobat was a free version? I think? Old... Photo Shop was newer...I think PSE11 or later...not the latest though. And it was not subscription, which I definitely do NOT want! I have no idea the version of Bridge I had. I'm operating on OS X Yosemite.
And please do not respond asking me to Skype you because the shop did not put Skype back on my computer, and Skype decided it did not like my attempts at my password OR my attempts at changing my password, and has suspended my account. And I cannot remember when I signed onto Skype so I cannot get my account back without a lot of my time being wasted. Just another frustration. I may just trash it. I never use Skype anyway...
A very frustrated technology illiterate person...

You will need to figure out what programs you had so that you can redownload and install them.
Download and Installation Help -
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
To do that you should be able to find them if you log into your Adobe account online and look under the My Products section. If you cannot figure out how to get into your online account I don't know what else to tell you beyond try to contact Adobe support and see if you can convince them to help you. Without anything to tie you to having purchased Adobe software that might be difficult.

Using photo shop and muse together. mock up to final design

Hi as .you know from me asking a million questions. i just heard that photo shop can be used as a mock up for web design. from this video i saw. i am wondering should this be the work flow that i should be using instead of just jumping into muse like i did before in Dreamweaver.? if thats the case i am willing to change my habit. i keep hearing that all ideas come from a sketch layout. with the new photo shop sketch tool for ipad. i am wondering if thats going to be the core for web site ideas. then finish it in photo shop and finalize it in muse . again design is my weak point thats why i have my degree in commercial graphics/ photography. thats why i enjoy web design. but want to keep it simple. so would you recommend this idea?
Placing a PSD in Adobe Muse - Muse-Themes.com - YouTube

Integration between Muse and Photoshop is limited to placing PSD files into Muse as images or as rollover buttons at the moment. So if you are looking at a workflow that web designers use with Photoshop > Dreamweaver after slicing, then that is not possible in Muse right now.
Photoshop and Dreamweaver integration on the other hand has been drastically improved with introduction of the Extract service and panel in Dreamweaver. You can read more about that here: Extract a Photoshop design into code in Dreamweaver | Adobe Dreamweaver CC tutorials

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

Photo Shop Pallet problems

I am using Photo Shop on a duel screen set up with a Thunderbolt Monitor as one screen and a Cintiq as the second screen. I'm using a Mac Book Pro to run the whole thing. Typically, I use theThunderbolt monitor to hold the pallets, and the main window is on the Cintiq. Lately, anytime I navigate away from a Photo Shop to a different window, when I return to Photo the pallets will have jumped to the far right side of the Cintiq, and they will be all on top of each other. I've tried setting up a different workspace, but it doesn't makes any difference. It's driving me crazy!

A couple of questions (and I am not a Mac user, so bear with me.
Are you effectively using three screens? I'm wondering if the MBP screen is also active.
What version of OSX are you using? Did you have this problem with a previous OSX version?
I don't suppose it makes any difference, but are you using Display port, and or HDMI connectors?

How do I retrieve my photo shop elements 10 photos?

how do I retrieve my photo shop elements 10 photos?

Photoshop Elements never stores the photos just links to them. They will be in the same location on your disk that they always were.
If you are looking for photos on photoshop.com, Adobe shut this down last year. Compatible photos will have been transferred to a Revel account for you with the same ID and password - https://www.adoberevel.com/signin. Note though that PSE10 does not integrate with Revel like it did with photoshop.com.

Photo Shop editor

Photo Shop installs but editor will not run. Organizer works normally

You are correct in your observation that Photoshop is a professional-level application that makes no apologies for its long and steep learning curve.
For your purposes, you may want to look at Photoshop Elements, which is a simpler version of the full Photoshop with a lot of hand-holding features for beginners and amateurs. It costs only a very small fraction of what Photoshop costs.
You can download the trial version and see for yourself if it fits your needs.
This forum here is for the full version of Photoshop only. If you have any further questions, please visit the Ps Elements forum:

For some reason my photo shop 4 failes to apply chages after 5 actions.

Good day, I have been using photo shop cs4 on a desktop running windows 7 for some time now.
Fore some reason now when I edit my Nikon raw image and jpeg images I can only make
about 5 types of changes. After that the next action changes do not work the screen does
not show the change. Most obvius is when the problem shows up when I switch to the sharpen
u sharp tool, the privue window is white, I try select a part of the image and no change is made.
I changed the start action and then I can not use the healing brush, no changes it made
with any tool. Once I selected this tool I can no longer change tool in the tools bar.
Today I loaded a system back up from 01/11/2010 (acronis full back up) I have the same
problem??? It was OK before! So does anyone know of a tool that can help me figurte this out.
This may not be a problem within Photo shop but it the starting point.

Standard questions:
Have you updated to version 11.0.1?
Have you updated your video drivers?
Is you video card compatible? See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405711
Have you tried turning off OpenGL in preferences?
If the answer is no to any of the above, please take the appropriate action and your problem will probably go away

Running Photo Shop 10 on OS X 10.8. Doesn't recognize my Epson EX 400 wireless printer (Air Print)

These would be good questions for Adobe. You're posting it to the user-to-user forum.
Though as you can see, on Amazon you can buy either the downloaded or boxed set.

You'd be able to do that with Photoshop Elements - a fraction of the cost of Photoshop.
