Photoshop CC "Open" dialogue Window preview image query.

Hello and Good Evening.
I am using Photoshop CC on an iMac, with Mountain Lion. I have no issues with the software and it runs perfectly, so this is just a query really.
If I save an image which has Alpha Channels contained within it, following processing, when I then reopen the image, the preview of the image in the "Open" dialogue window appears as a sort of negative, almost as if it has one of the masks on it. The image opens fine though, and looks as I left it.
If I save the image without Alpha Channels, by unselecting them in the Save As dialogue window, and saving the image as a copy, when I reopen this one, the preview of the image is fine.
I'm hoping someone may have some ideas.
I have attached a couple of images below to illustrate;
With Alpha Channels:
Without Alpha Channels:

Hi Chris
Thank you for the reply.
There are definitely Alpha Channels in the image as I created them during the retouching.
I think you're right, as I decided to investigate further and open Bridge, (which I never normally use), and the previews in that show up correctly.
So overall not too fussed about it as long as the actual image file is fine, which it is.
Thank you again.
Much appreciated.
Mike

Unresponsive application after opening app window with image..... help!

Hi,
I have made an app that has a window that opens up with an image. After clicking out of that window I wanted to quit the app in the menu bar up at the top. While upon clicking the name of the app in the menu, it became unresponsive and quit. Any help on how to change this to stop happening would be great. Also I used Image well to place the image in the window.

Open Dialogue in Preview has no 'recent folders'

The 'regular' open dialogue shows recently opened folders. That is very useful, and seems to have disappeared in the Preview Open Dialogue. Any way to bring that back?

Me too.
'Open Recent ...', is NOT to what I am referring. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear.
In the standard open dialogue of every application on the Mac (except Preview) when you pull down the current folder, you will get a list showing a hierarchy of folders showing where the current folder resides (you can then move up the hierarchy). Below that is a heading called 'Recent Places' ... I should have noted this specifically before. This shows the most recent 6 folders you have opened. Typically when you are working, that will be one of the folders where you want to find a file. It is MUCH faster than locating the folder you want from scratch.
I'm just concerned that it is the start of eliminating this in all applications. Why take something well-designed, which is very useful and eliminate it? I've heard that Preview is showing the influence of iOS. The next system release is supposed to move even more in that direction. I can't say I'm looking forward to it though.

CS6 Ai not displaying the file preview correctly in the open dialogue window, any fixes?

Icon preview does not seem to scale correctly central to its column.
This also seems to happen on Cover flow view but you can not scroll across.

It's fine if you go through finder on desktop or via Photoshop but since updating Yosemite it's messed up Illustrator.
It's not scaling the preview correctly and it happens in Coverflow view too as I said.
Just wondering if there's a preference you can delete to reset the finder via Illustrator?

Why photoshop CS5 opens twice the same image?!

Somebody knows what it's happening with this? is this a bug? if not what is the use of this?
thanks in advance

Reboot and shut down scripts failed on open dialogue window

I have a headless server.
It is scheduled to shut down at 01.00 AM via the control panel.
I have a script (tested it works) to shut down the server should the control panel fail.
tell application "System Events"
shut down
end tell
Should this fail for some reason there is a second script that tell the computer to reboot shortly before the control panel schedule should start the server.
tell application "System Events"
restart
end tell
Yesterday it failed to execute either script. ITunes had been running and checked for updates and found one. It was installed and this resulted in the dialogue box appearing that wants you to promise not to steal the code etc. No person there to click OK so it hung and cancelled all processes.
So this stopped the shut down as well as the reboot.
The reason I have this script is as to make sure the computer has no hanging programmes or windows and shuts down and fires up on the desired time.
Anybody knows how to make it force to quit the programme?
Or better would be (and my preference too) to have it check if such windows are open and OK them before shutting down.
I know this is only a one in thousand occurrence, but it would be nice to have it not happen again, this time I was there to fix it.
Thanks.

'b4' - ?
Your problem is not with the provided instructions; but, the version of 'Script Editor', SE, you use.
I use SE, v. 2.0 (43) from a 'Panther' (MacOS X 10.3.x) installation. This application version works on PPC Macs running 'Panther' and 'Tiger' (MacOS X 10.4.x), and Intel Macs running 'Tiger' and (dog crap) 'Leopard' (MacOS X 10.5.x). At least here.
The features and (intuitive) ease of use of SE v. 2.0 are superior to its equivalents of 'Tiger' and (dog crap) 'Leopard'. Besides allowing one to view the 'Description' textarea field of a 'Run Only' script, SE v. 2.0 allows one to select all of the 'Suites' titles in the left side list, click on the right side panel, and then search for any character, word, or string - such as 'a', 'is', 'the', 'reference', 'in MHz' - anything. Try such a search with SE v. 2.1 and v. 2.2.
Try this example:
Select SEs' 'Window, Library' menu item. A window titled 'Standard Additions.asdictionary' will appear.
From the 'Library' windows' list, double click on 'StandardAdditions'.
SE v. 2.0 only - Select all of the suites of the left side panel, then click once on the right side panel.
In the search field (SE v 2.1 and v. 2.2) or search window (SE v. 2.0) enter 'in MHz', and press the <return> key. Did SE v. 2.1 or 2.2 find it? SE v. 2.0 goes right to it; even highlighting the search string result.
As an exercise - waste your time looking for 'in MHz' in SE v. 2.1 and / or v. 2.2.
Hint 01: Search for 'system'. Now you have a one (1) in four (4) chance of locating the user desired string (of 'in MHz') by viewing the text of each listed result.
Hint 02: Try searching by 'Description' - click on the search 'magnifying glass' and a popup button of choices appears - click on the 'Description' menu item. Still, unlike with SE v. 2.0, SE v. 2.1 or v. 2.2 does not actually highlight the located character, word, or string.
Ok, you finally located the line of 'in MHz'; but now - you want to see all of the commands of the related 'Suite' - how do you do it? In SE v. 2.0 you may have to scroll up a little; but, in SE v. 2.1 and v. 2.2 ...

How to make photoshop default opening images

I have Bridge CC when I double click to open a image in photoshop it opens in windows photo viewer intsted,.and photopshop is not in the File / open with /

Hi;
Id, Ai, and Ps file types are associated correctly in Bridge CC and work fine, however, JPGs don't. When I click on the file thumbnail I get the following:
I no longer have Ps C5; all my apps are now CC.
I'd like to associate JPGs in Bridge CC to default to Windows Photo Viewer (that seems to work just fine, otherwise), but I cannot manually re-asscociate the JPG file types in Bridge CC because when selecting to choose the program in "Browse" (to set it to Windows Photo Viewer) the WPV folder is empty—go figure!! I don't get it.
Anyone have any ideas how to correct this?
Thanks.

Reverse order in File- Open dialogue

The file/folder list in the File->Open dialogue window is "stuck" at showing in reverse order. I can right-click in the Open dialogue window and sort ascending, but the next time I open a file it is back to reverse order.
I have experimented with Explorer's view settings but Reader appears to ignore those. Other applications, for example Word, use Explorer's view settings and behave as I would expect.
I suspect that someone has inadvertently changed something on this PC. Perhaps there's a keystroke combination that changes the file display order persistently?
Any ideas, please?
Adobe Reader version 8.1.2
XP Pro SP2

I'm still struggling with this - does anyone know how to change the file sort order in the File->Open dialogue?
It must be possible to change it because it has somehow been changed to reverse order!

Jpeg preview images -- how to check

Whenever I take my USB stick to a photolab to print images, if I don't save from Photoshop with "Image Previews" turned off (and most of the time I forget to turn it off), the dopy photolab machine recognises the previews as separate images and presents them as printable images (which they are not – they will print heavily pixellated).
Is there any way of checking in the Finder whether an image has a preview embedded – the kind that a photolab recognises – and be able to remove the preview if there is one? Or is this a Photoshop thing?
Note: this preview image I'm talking about does not appear to be the same preview as the Finder uses. Images saved from Photoshop with Image Previews turned on or off (Preferences > File Handling > File Saving Options > Image Previews > Never Save/Always Save), both have previews on the Desktop.

Thanks for the responses.
Kurt
"It's not clear what you're referring to when you say a Finder preview image; are you referring to QuickLook, which is a feature of Snow Leopard?"
I was not aware of QuickLook. The preview images are the ones that Finder shows you in "icon" format.

I'm using Photoshop CS4.
"…and another file containing the resource fork, with the same name and the prefix "._". This file is invisible…"
That's the one! I get two of every image and one of them has the underscore. The Fuji Lab warns you that it will not print properly, but it will allow you to print them. It has happened several times when friends want me to edit their images and I save them to their USB sticks – but forget to turn off preview. They get back to me complaining about the quality of the images when they choose the wrong one.
The Fuji Lab I am talking about is like this one: http://www.livingroom.org.au/photolog/images/fujifilm_DPC.jpg
The Fuji Lab also recognises every image in the trash. So if you have 500 images in the trash, and want to print only one image, you'll get 501 images to select from. What I mess.
I suspect it has something to do with the way PCs and the Fuji Lab interpret images, as a friend who uses a Mac to save Photoshop images onto a USB stick, and then takes them to the local camera club for projection, also complained to me (I was the one who suggested he use a USB stick) that the PC used for projection was picking up everything in the trash. He wanted to project half a dozen images, but several hundred came up.
Problem does not seem to occur if I burn to CD and use the CD to print or project images.
So the situation is: if I save images (preview on) from Photoshop onto a USB stick, the Fuji Labs recognise two images for each image, one of which has an underscore. All images in the trash are also recognised. Same seems to apply when read by a PC.
What does saving a preview image in Photoshop do anyway? Is it necessary? Maybe I should just turn off "Save Preview" and leave it off.
You mentioned FAT32. If I reformatted the USB stick to a different format, would that fix the problem?

Photoshop CS5 .jpg images open up in Preview

I am using Photoshop CS5 and OS 10.6.5.
No matter how I save a .jpg, if I double click on the file name (not open it up form within PSD) it opens up in preview. I have gone under Preferences and set the File handling every which way, but it still opens up in Preview.
The only way I can change it is go to GET INFO and change the file format. This is a bit tedious when I have about 80 images that need to transfer over to a Windows 7 environment. The Windows people can't even see the files - they are unopenable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Megan

Click on the closed file once to highlight. Then in Finder go File>Get Info and choose Photoshop to open. Click "Change All" in the same menu to have Photoshop open all similar jpgs.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

I have an old Kodak Photo CD (1999) and Photoshop Elements 11 on Windows 7. How can I open the .pcd images?
Please help me open these photos. They are very important to me and I need to access them.
If I can't do it with any of the software installed on my computer, would someone be willing to open them, save them as jpgs and send them to me?
Thank you so much, Nancy

You can get the plugin here by downloading the Extra Content for Photoshop CS3 File 2
Just be sure to follow Note:Very Important Instructions or the link won't work.
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
After downloading the PHSPCS3_Cont_WWE.exe, double click on it to extract the contents, probably to your desktop.
Then in the Goodies folder, Optional Plugins folder, you'll see the Kodak PhotoCD folder
Open that and copy the Photo CD.8BI to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins
Copy the profiles to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles

When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

You want to view the image at the Print Size, which represents the size that shows in the Image>Resize Dialog.
View>Print Size
Since screen resolution is almost always lower that the print resolution (somewhere between 72 and 96 usually), images will always look bigger on the screen, unless you view them at print size.
(apple Retina displays have a much higher resolution than normal screens, closer to the average print size resolution)

hi, sometimes big images could not open with photoshop.ı can open with windows but cant open photoshop.if ı try to open i am seeing a white image.is there any answer for this problem please.

Just to assist those who might help you with this, please give the exact version of Photoshop CS6 you are running, for instance CS6 13.0.1.3.
I had already asked for that in my previous post, but I guess you didn't quite know what I was referencing when I typed "exact version".
Sorry, I cannot help you myself because I don't deal with that kind of 3D images, don't use Windows, and in all frankness I'm not quite following your last post.
Also please give the exact model of your graphics card, so they can check whether it is on the list of cards tested by Adobe.
Thank you.
