If in the toolbox you left click and hold on the different tools with the little triangles at the bottom right of the tool icons, you can see the other tools grouped in that same slot.

I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 last week and every time I open the program, I get an error message that reads "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and it forces me to close the program. How to I resolve this?

Hi Noel,
I'm wondering whether your comment addressed to Lmono was intended for me Tmono.
You ask: "So why didn't you provide the same?"
It just didn't occur to me to do so.
My intent was to report that there was at least one other user encountering a similar problem. It occurred to me that Adobe might be interested in determining the scale of a problem which causes one of their best known products to fail to run quite so completely after a clean install
I also see that I misreported the OS I'm running - its Windows 8.
If there is further information I can provide which might be helpful in determining a solution, if someone could be specific about what would be helpful, then I will try to respond appropriately.
Perhaps the following from the event log:

The X230 has Intel HD 4000 graphics support built in to the processor. Windows was pretty stubborn about refusing driver updates, but I just managed to get drivers from the Intel site to install and Photoshop is now running, so hopefully I need not try your patience any further.
In case anyone else has a similar problem and stumbles on this the way to install the driver that worked was to:
- download the zip version of the generic driver from Intel
- use the 'have disk' option in the windows dialog to install the driver - other paths in the UI did not work with windows refusing to install the driver.

Photoshop cc 2014 missing 'focus area' item in the 'Select' menu

I've installed the new photoshop cc 2014 (14.2.1 x 64) but I can't find the new 'focus area' command in the 'Select' menu.

Hi,
Thank you for getting back to me. You’re absolutely correct. My Adobe Cloud app. was out of date. Once I updated Adobe Cloud it it notified me of the new photoshop update.
Photoshop CC 2014 has just downloaded and I’m about to try it.
Thanks again,

Again with the Continuously Rasterize of 3D Shape Layers and Effects Problem in CS3

Hi! I have been looking into the forum for some help about this issue and although it have found a lot of related threads I really can't make this combination of features works well...
I mean I can't apply any "Distort" effect to any 3D "Shape Layer" cause finally the effect cause unexpected results (basically the effects loose his "alignment" with the layer as soon as I transform that layer even if I make a Pre-comp and apply the transformation there (cause I still need rasterization activated on it to maintain quality in zooms and scales). So, really could be a way that allow me to apply this effects to a continuously rasterized layer (or Pre-com) and it works as well as if they were applied to a Solid/Image Layer when use some kind of transformation or camera movement over it? Uf, I still really hope so...
Well, I'm now a little desperated so I'll be very grateful for any help; and sorry if I'm missing something obvious but I think I have tried all the possibilities (pre-compound and turn off 3D Layer option on both items with any combination, turn on or off rasterize option here and there too, apply the effect in the pre-comp layers or in the comp ones, etc...) and I think at this moment I start to loosing my faith...
PS: Ouh, and I hope you understand my "English" too...

>So, really could be a way that allow me to apply this effects to a
>continuously rasterized layer (or Pre-com) and it works as well as if

That's completely impossible. It goes against how AE effects (and ultimately the entire render pipeline) work. I think I know what you are hoping to achieve, but it is mathematically and technically illogical. Displacment effects work on pixels, not the original vector data, anyways. Only dedicated vector effects can manipulate path contours. AE is no different than Illustrator or Freehand in that regard.
Also: whenever you change the scale of a Shape Layer, you change the size of of the vector data which is then rasterized based on the bounding box and in some cases the cropping area defined by the composition borders. Therefore the layer size would steadily increase anyways and the result of your displacement would be different for each frame - what looks okay with 5px displacment values at frame 1 would barely be noticable on a layer that is "blown up" to 10 times the size on frame 100.
So for all intents and purposes you need to work with big layers and without continuous rasterization, no matter how much you may dislike it.

Merge to HDR Pro from LR5. After applying preset and during conversion of file, Iget an error message "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and closing PS

In LR5 i do: Merge to HDR Pro. After I apply my preset and PS attempts to convert HDR file, I get an error message from PS: "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working". Then PS Closes.
My source files are 5 NEF files of 28 MB. I select 16-bit, I also tried 8-bit. No difference. Same error message.

As the crash report says - your outdated video card driver is crashing. You need to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website (AMD/ATI in this case).

Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?

Plug-in for Canon iPF8400 not recognised in Photoshop CC 2014. Lost Topaz and Nik Software as well.

I have just updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and lost the plug-ins for Canon iPF8400 printer, Topaz Labs, and Nik Software. I had been asked if I wanted to migrate plug-ins and said yes. I have dropped the plug-ins into the Photoshop plug in folder but they are note being recognised.

Similar problems here with Topaz Labs plug-ins.
Unfortunately I have now uninstalled Photoshop CC so the option of copying them into Photoshop CC 2014 is no longer viable and Photoshop CC 2014 simply does not recognise them.
Waiting for response from Topaz labs

I have tried downloading Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 3 times now. It downloads fine. Then after I try to open it and it loads the screen but then a box pops up and says "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and then makes me close the program.

I need help please. Exactly what my title says. It makes me close the program whenever I join/try to get on Photoshop CC 2014 and says it has "stopped working."

Photoshop CC 2014: Missing Oil Paint filter and no access to extensions and plugins? Where did they go?

I downloaded PS CC 2014 a few days ago, and just opened for the first time. The Oil Paint filter is no longer listed in the Filter menu. Has it been deleted in this "update"? I hope not because I use it as part my workflow and have it as a step in many of the Actions I've developed to produce my signature style.
Also, access to my Extensions and Exchange is blocked; that is to say, Extensions is greyed out in the Window>Extensions drop down menu. This means I can't use my watermarks.
In order to use all the features of PS CC and CC 2014, I have to save my work and open it in the other version, then switch back again to apply a watermark. Very annoying!
Any insight would be appreciated.
In Camera Raw, the button to toggle between pre- and post adjustments in the active adjustment panel has been reinstated, a good thing, but it should not have been removed in the previous "update".
Thanks

It now looks like the CC app controls the syncing of your add-ons with PS CC 2014. So, open Creative Cloud, click on the Files tab and ensure that syncing is turned on. This can also be confirmed, and toggled on/off in Creative Cloud Preferences.
No syncing is for Your Photoshop settings(not really) and presets between machines for a Photoshop versions CC to CC, CC 2014 to CC 2014 not between versions. Photoshop Preferences Settings like UI setting not to open documents and others are not synced.
Photoshop also has a feature to Migrate Presets between version of Photoshop, This has been available for some time. Photoshop menu Edit>Presets.. When you install a version of Photoshop you are also prompted with a question asking if yoy wish to migrate your presets from a prior version of Photoshop during the install process. Note the your new document Presets are not migrated but you can do that yourself with a file copy. Also Photoshop preferences are setting not Presets you need to set preferences you change from Adobe default settings.
Note no New Document Preset sync option.

Photoshop CC 2014 is corrupting layers while their being saved

Some large layered files are showing layer corruption.
Anyone know what's going on. I cannot save my work now.
I use frequency shift technique to clean up metal surfaces, so blending modes are used.
Also on some layers a pink tinted layer icon is visible where layer corruption is present
Please help!

The problem looks like it is resolved.
Yesterday morning I was importing multiple memory cards into Lightroom 5.6 and a lot of the images were damaged in a similar way as the layers in Photoshop. Also the import was terribly slow for USB3.
As I already moved the Photoshop projects I am working on to an other drive/bus and that seemed to solve the Photoshop layers problem, I checked my system. I have multiple USB3 ports and controllers in the system, 11 drives connected to (e)Sata and 4 through USB3. Also a USB3 HUB and a separate USB3 port for reading memory cards.
What solved my problem:
I've changed the project/workdrive from eSata to USB3. Since then no more damaged layers in PS CC 2014.
I've changed the Card reader USB3 port to another port/controller, and that solved my LR 5.6 Import problem.
I was also experiencing system freezes/slowdowns during the day (Audioplayer froze for a few seconds and made a terrible sound)
I've recently installed a new desk and moved my system. Possibly changed the USB3 ports/controller on some devices.
Since I've change the ports no more problems occurred, sometimes the audio player freezes and makes the sound, but the frequency and time are very sporadic now.
The system is going to get a complete reinstall in the next month to get rid of any residual problems that may have accumulated in the last 3 years since it was assembled.

Photoshop CC 2014 causes black screen and system shut down.

Every time I start PS CC 2014 my machine dies within 2 minutes. I am not having issues with Lightroom or Bridge.
I've spent hours on phone w/Dell tech support. They say my machine is fine and that the problem is with photoshop.
Drivers and installs are all up to date. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running on a Dell 8500 w/ a 2 TB hard drive.
I've run DM Log Collector and have a zip file with the results, but I don't see how to attach it to my post.

I have Photoshop CC 2014 on my Mac and cannot find Mini-bridge under file, window or in the online add-ons.

Was Mini-Bridge discontinued in Photoshop CC2014? It is not under the file or Window menus. I cannot find it under add-ons on line. I have a Mac, is that why I'm not seeing it? Any help would be very useful.

Yes.
See Photoshop: Spring Cleaning | PHOTOSHOP.COM BLOG
"Mini Bridge
Mini-Bridge is an Extension Panel using Flash and therefore must be removed now that Flash is no longer supported in Photoshop. Bridge CC remains available as a stand-alone file browser application for designers and photographers needing to browse non-photographic file formats.
Lightroom, which is available with Creative Cloud and the Photoshop Photography Program, is an alternative for photographers as a way to work with multiple photos and hand them off to Photoshop for additional processing."

Photoshop CC 2014: Missing old standard filters

Hi everyone,
I'm missing couple of filters in the filter menu (they are not greyed out) such as Sketch and Artistic. I checked the preferences if they are simply turned off but there's no sign of them. Any idea where I can find/activate them?
Thanks,
nerinho

Thanks nickna12, I double checked the preferences and found them hidden in the filter gallery. So I checked and there they are (here the german version):

Direct Selection Tool - Shape Layers in Photoshop CC Issue

I just upgraded to CC and the first major road block is the new way the direct selection tool works. In my CS6 work flow I would use the direct selection tool to jump between shape layers within the document layer. Then once the correct shape was selected I would click drag select the anchor points I want to adjust. This seems to be impossible now in CC. You can still jump between shape layers but you have to be in "All-Layers" which really hurts when I want to click drag to select specific anchor points because it selects all shapes below it. And with Active-layer selected you can't jump between shape layers with the tool but you can click drag select anchors with out selecting and shapes below the layer. The basically cut functionality right down the middle…
Below I made a very simple video showing the issue (CS6 = first PSD and CC = 2nd PSD)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjlvwzmli9ihczd/CCProblemBroadband.m4v
As you can see in CS6 I could fly between layers and adjust everything with out ever changing to another tool or jumping to the layers window… I can no longer do that in CC with out having the dumb issue of also selecting the layers below it, which I don't find useful 99% of the time. Is there a setting to make this work like it did in CS4-CS6???? In my line of work, we work a lot with shape layers and this is causing more time to my work day.
Thanks

1000x this. My designs are 100% vector shapes, so if Adobe have changed this core behavior intentionally, they’ve just made my life a lot more difficult.
We should be able to use the Direct Selection Tool to select a shape layer (similar to how the Move Tool has done) by clicking on any visible pixel. But then we should be able to freely drag-select points on that shape (starting from any neutral area) without selecting other shape layers. This is how it’s worked since before I can remember.
Here’s why the two new selection modes don’t work:
Active Layers - I can no longer freely select any visible shape. Instead I’m forced to make a time-consuming roundabout to the layer palette, where I have to squint to find my shape layer, and activate it manually before continuing. (Hitting “V” to select a layer, then “A” to get back to the D.S. Tool is nearly as cumbersome. Plus, I leave off the Move Tool's auto-select mode.)
All Layers - Treats all my shapes as if they’re on one layer. Overlapping shapes are therefore impossible to work with -- mainly drag-selecting and deselecting points -- in situ.
We either need a “legacy” setting, or some way to constrain selection on drag, via a key modifier or something. This “all or nothing" thing doesn’t work for me... and apparently for others. Why would they change such a thing?
Or maybe there’s something I’m missing. Please let that be the case!

Cropping Layers with Crop Tool in Photoshop CC 2014?

I have been trying to find out if the crop tool can be used in Photoshop CC 2014 to crop layers individually rather than the entire file, and I am not finding any answers through any searches. I can't even find a standard Abode How-to for cropping in the CC version. Is the Marquee tool still the only (best) way to crop an individual layer?
Also, I have been looking at a crop tool tutorial for the CC version that seems a bit opaque to me in the way it's written (Adobe Photoshop CC for Photographers), and it refers to a Crop options fly-out menu, but I can't find any way to access this.

The Crop tool is not designed for the job you would like done. As you have seen, it crops the entire image.
Instead, use the Rectangular Marquee tool to frame the area you would like to maintain. (Sample 1)
Then choose Select > Inverse. It will select the area to be removed.
Then tap the Delete key. Result is Sample 2)
