Photoshop CC on Windows 8 is using almost 4GB with no files open

Is there a fix for this apparent memory leak?

Photoshop holds onto the memory it allocates in the course of working. It will never free it once it's open. This is done on purpose, and the expressed intent is to allow it to meet its future memory needs out of its own allocation, which is more efficient than allowing the OS to manage it.
Whether you or I believe it's the "best behaved" way to act is inconsequential. It will allocate and hold up to the amount of RAM you allow it in the Performance preferences, and Adobe does not appear to be ready to consider changing strategy.
This is nothing new; it has always done this.
If it bothers you, you have some options:
1. Close Photoshop after every edit. This will free resources for other applications to use.
2. Lower Photoshop's RAM limit. This will, of course, reduce Photoshop performance.
3. Get more RAM and stop worrying. More is better, much more is much better.

That should work out, maybe edit it to force updating in the new image.
Could you please post a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible?

JS error while using input fields with type=file on XP SP2

Hi all,
we found a new problem in applications which use input fields with type=file running in a browser on Microsoft Windows XP with SP2.
A typical test layout might look like:
<html>
<head>
    <title>File-Upload</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form action="/cgi-bin/upload.pl" method=post
          enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <input type=file size=50 maxlength=100000 name="file"
             accept="text/*"><br>
      <button onclick="document.forms[0].submit();">Send</button>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
When you add a link without the fully qualified path (for example pic01.jpg instead of c:\pictures\pic01.jpg) and click on the 'Send' button, nothing happens and you get a Javascript error 'Access denied'.
The solution can be found in the MS Knowledge Base article 892442:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;892442
We still investigate this issue and will inform you about the further proceeding.

Problem with closing other firefox windows when window in use has more than 1 tab open

If I have multiple firefox windows open, and the one that I am using has more than one tab open, when I try to close one of the windows that I am not using by hovering over the firefox icon on the taskbar, then clicking the cross on the other windows, a message appears asking me if I want to close a window with more than one tab open. This means that firefox is trying to close the window that I'm using, not the one I'm trying to close. Please note this only happens when I hover over the icon on the taskbar then click the cross for the window I want to close. If I open the window properly, then click the cross on the window itself, it works fine.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has this problem, and if they do, then mozilla should probably fix it in their next update, it's getting really annoying now

I can't find a bug on file for this on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ (although there are many taskbar-related issues under review).
(1) Just to confirm, do you both have "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" turned off here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
(2) Have you tried disabling Firefox use of hardware graphics acceleration?
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If you restart Firefox, do you notice any changes?

Photoshop CS6 error "could not complete ... too many files open. Try closing........." with 3D psd?

Im working in a .psd file with multiple 3D layers. The file size totals at 356mb.
When opening the file, I get this error: "could not complete your request because there are too many files open. Try closing some windows and try again." This doesn't any sense to me, as I was not experiencing any chugging when the file was open, and I am on a relatively fast system.
Win 7 64bit
Intel i7-2760QM @ 2.4GHz (8 CPU)
16 gigs ram
Nvidia GTX 560M (2752mb)

Having the same issue on the Mac!
Worked on a file yesterday, fairly big, but nothing that I haven't handled before... Only difference was the 3DS file I imported has over 270 textures.
I think there is a limit on how many textures can be imported, essentially corrupting the file on save. It would be a lot more helpful to have Photoshop warn us that the 3D model is too complicated before we import it and save our work looking forward to finishing off the next day.
I tried the same model again today, did nothing other than position it and render it, then saved, same error on opeing: "Could not complete your request because there are too many files open. Try closing some windows and try again."
If anyone at Adobe would like to have a look ta the file the smaller version that I did today I can upload somewhere or send a YouSendIt.
Cheers.

I can't use Filter Gallery with CR2 files?

I use Adobe Camera RAW to adjust image first and then open a copy in Photoshop CC. I have tried saving as a .PSD file and converting to smart object but I still can not access the filter gallery option. Can someone please advise how I can access the filter gallery?

Using Log&Transfer with QuickTime files?

Has anyone tried this? Is it possible? I have been given a drive with .mts files converted to quicktime. The file names are utterly meaningless. Example: I have 30 QT's with duplicate names in different folders, from different shooting days. Obviously I need to relog everything, give it scene/take info. Wondering if I can use Log & Transfer to log the QT files?
The footage was shot 1080p, should I just bring in the .mts files thru log&transfer, ProRes?
Suggestions and guidance very much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply -
The .mov files are Apple ProRes 422(HQ).
As mentioned earlier I also have the original .mts files. Everything was shot AVCHD 1080p.
Short of slogging through thousands of incorrectly labeled .mov files I was thinking of just starting fresh with Log & Capture of the original .mts files.
One of the reasons I'm thinking of working with the .mts files and Log & Capture is that I can rename the clips while retaining the metadata of the original .mts files. My understanding is that this will preserve the link between the 'work print' and the camera original 'negative' so to speak. It will also afford me the easy ability to work in ProRes proxy and uprez later, tho I assume I can bring in the 'mov as proxy and do the same thing?
I've been known to be totally wrong and thus, I am here seeking wisdom.

Photoshop CC flashing window while using quick selection or brush tools.

Whenever I am using the quick selctions tool or brush tools, basically anything that involves movement, part of my work space begins to flash. Any way I can fix it? I originally thought it was my exernal display, but then noticed it only happens in PSD.

Chris - I am running 10.9.1 as of now and unfortuneately I am running Intel drivers. Updating the Photoshop CC Application helped, but every now and then I am getting a few flashes. It is way better than before though, it was getting untolerable.
I am running a MacBook Pro hooked up to a ThunderBolt display to.

Photoshop Elements 6: Could not use type tool because the file could not be found

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 well for a while.
Tried to use the Type Tool to overlay text and obtained this error:
Could not use the type tool because the file could not be found
After research, I reset all tools, tried to repair (failed: insert disc one), and then removed/re-installed. Still have the same problem.
Are the system fonts corrupt or is an Adobe .ini file suspect?
Other reports have suggested using a 3rd-party font manager to inspect/disable fonts.
First wanted to post this error here for feedback/recommendations
Any suggestion on how to recover the Type Tool functionality?

Adobe Photoshop Elements Repair Workaround
When trying to repair the well-known: insert disc one, error occurred. Was able to successfully repair the installation by dragging the entire Adobe Photoshop Elements directory from the original CD-ROM onto a hard drive and executing locally. Seems it does not like repairing over the CD-ROM but it works correctly if the install source is on disc...

John,
Yesterday, I decided to completely remove all Adobe products: PSE 6, Premiere 4, Reader, ActiveX plugins & legacy/old uninstalled product directories that Adobe has left turd-lets around including old Acrobat 3/6 directories. Used A/D Software to remove all adobe products and then followed your instructions AND the instructions on Adobe's support web site to manually remove these products.
It boiled down to manually removing the entire Adobe directory in Progam Files, "saving" the entire Adobe directory structure in each users (3) Document and Settings in the Application Data and Local Settings (as instructed by you and Adobe) and rebooting.
I also saved the local All Users "configuration" database/cache that contained the Tag and other information to make sure the system was clean
This included following the manual Regit instructions to remove legacy Adobe registry hives. I deleted all keys for all Adobe product trees that I could locate (following instructions from Adobe).
Reboot
Scheduled a CHCKDSK on all drives and rebooted
Dragged my complete image library to an archive location and deleted them on the C: drive
Did a complete system Defrag
Re-installed Adobe and alas still have the same problem with the Type Tool....
The only thing I did not do was selectively remove the "fonts" because various instructions seemed to indicate many are "required" by the windows or other applications and I was not really sure how to identify which ones were safe to remove w/o affecting the core system.. I'll have to re-read these instructions next.
Microsoft has a "Font Validator" tool, but that only checks 1 font at a time and you have to read the "results". May look for other tools.
Will be able to check the font structure this weekend since it will take some research before I'm comfortable just removing fonts in trial/error mode. I'll need to make a backup image of my computer before I start this (just in case).
Thanks for follow-ups too!

Installing windows XP using discs supplied with virtual PC

I am currently running Windows XP Home in Virtual PC under 10.3.9 in a powerbook G4. I want to upgrade to a new Macbook for Christmas.
Can I use the Windows discs I purchased with Virtual PC to install Windows for the dual boot process?
Thanks in advance
Rob

Hi Rob,
it is indeed technically possible to use the Windows XP from Virtual PC.
See here for procedure: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060527175405403
But keep in mind that the Windows License does not allow you to use one Windows XP on two or more computers.
And because of the Activation Process of XP they will find out...
Good Luck

How to use MDS deploying with EAR file

Hi everybody.
I would to use MDS in my web application in order to use customization across the sessions. I've performed every step to do this on JDeveloper (11.1.1.3.1). I've tested my application deploying directly from JDeveloper using Application menu > Deploy > "myApp" to "myApplicationServer" (in this way I can choose the repository with a window like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/Kci9c.png). The repository was prevoiusly registered on the server. In this way my application works fine and they all lived happily ever after.
My problem occurs when I perform the deployment with "myApp to EAR" mode. When I try to install my EAR file in weblogic, it reply me with this error message:
An error occurred during activation of changes, please see the log for details.
+:oracle.mds.config.MDSConfigurationException:MDS-01335: namespace "/xliffBundles" mapped to metadata-store-usage "MAR_TargetRepos" but its definition was not found in MDS configuration.+
I've looked for a solution around the web (included this forum) and I think that I should modify something in adf-config.xml file (below).
Which steps I have to perform in order to install my application correctly with an EAR file?
Thanks in advance.

Any suggestion?

Some pdf & doc won't download... tried fixes under 'FF keeps opening many tabs or windows' but none worked... these files open in Safari & Google Chrome.

Some pdf & doc files won't download. The "You Have Chosen to Open" pop-up appears but when I hit 'Save File", it goes away and the file is not saved. The corrupted files show up in mac download file as .part but don't show up in ff download file. Tried suggestions in "Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows" on this website but none worked.

This is most likely Firefox's new "built in" PDF Viewer giving you the trouble.
First, in Firefox, type "about:config" (minus the quotes) in the address bar. This will open the Firefox configuration file. You'll see a warning. Click that you'll be careful, and open the configurer.
At the top there is a search bar. Type "js" (again, minus the quotes).
In the list of results you'll see pdfjsdisabled with a value of "false". Right click it and select Toggle to make it read "true".
Click Firefox>Preferences and under the Applications tab, scroll down to Adobe Acrobat Document. Click the drop down on the right side and choose "Use Adobe Reader (default)".
That should take care of it for you.

Loading data into HANA DB (using hdbsql client) with Control file.

Hi,
I am working on a Project where the requirement is to load data from a csv file into HANA Database.
I am using HDBSQL, command line client on a windows machine to upload the data into HANA DB on a linux server.
I am able to successfully use the HDBSQL to export the file.
I have the following questions w.r.t to Bulk uploading data from CSV:
Where should the CSV file reside? Can this be in the windows machine or is it mandatory to have in the dropbox location.
Where should the control file reside? Can this be in the windows machine or is it mandatory to have in the dropbox location.
Where will the error file reside in case of errors?
I am new to this and any help is much appreicated.
Thanks,
Shreesha

Hi Shreesha,
Where should the CSV file reside? Can this be in the windows machine or is it mandatory to have in the dropbox location.
Where should the control file reside? Can this be in the windows machine or is it mandatory to have in the dropbox location.
Where will the error file reside in case of errors?
We need to create the DATA,CONTROL and ERROR folders on the linux server on which HANA is installed.( or a server accessible to SAP HANA server )
Hence we need to SFTP the file to HANA server to further load into Table.
Also have a look on the similar requirement on which i worked
