Photoshop Colors doesn't work..:(

Hi,
I'm using Photoshop CS6 Extended version. I'm unable to use the colors. When I select any color, it defaults to the Grey for both foreground and the background. I have tried to use the brush as well as the font with not success. Please help!! Below is the screen shot.
Thanks in advance.
Willaim

Oh! Nevermind. I was able to resolve it myself.
I just closed and re-opened the applications couple of times and now I'm able to select the color which I wished..:)
Thanks anyway, Chris.

Lighting effects in Photoshop CC doesn't work for me ... just shows ALL black .. any advice to get it to do what it is supposed to?

Lighting effects in Photoshop CC doesn't work for me ... just shows ALL black .. any advice to get it to do what it is supposed to?

So, you're totally new to computers?
Go to the Help menu in Photoshop and select the System Info menu item. Copy all that information and paste all of it here MINUS your serial number.
Yes, Photoshop can delegate a lot of the computing tasks to the GPU on your graphics card. You may have to disable that feature in Photoshop Preferences > Performance.

Yosemite and Photoshop Elements doesn't work. Can anyone help

I have recently updates my mac software to Yosemite and Photoshop Elements doesn't work. Can anyone help

Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

my photoshop cc doesn't work. "_crtCreateSymbolicLinkW not found in DLL "C.\Windows\SYSTEM32\MSVCP110.dll"". Please help

I checked my windows 7 pro machine for the module I see many copies if the DLL with different dates two different sizes all are version 11.0.51106.1 so I guess there are 32bit and 64bit versions. Some are in Adobe folders some in Wacom folders ad in two windows folders including system32. I do not know if there is and entry point "_crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" in it.

Edit in Photoshop CS6 doesn't work with Nikon D800E NEF files in LR 4.1 RC

The "Edit in Photoshop CS6" menu item or shortcut (cmd+e) doesn't work for NEF files from a Nikon D800E in Lightroom 4.1 RC. What happens is that LR looks like it goes through all its normal paces, and launches Photoshop, and the CPU spins, but then nothing happens in Photoshop, the image never opens.
This works fine for NEF files from other cameras.

Set up CS6 as an secondary editor, and then it will use LR's built-in ACR to process the files, instead of the external ACR with CS6. The external ACR 6.7 also processes D800, just not ACR 7 just yet.

• Photoshop "action" doesn't work well for big file?

Hello -
I made a Photoshop® script (action) which works perfectly…
(Open .PDF files in Photoshop®, to after save them as .JPG files into another folder)
The problem comes when I launch a batch process.
It takes a while to the computer to open the large .PDF files, and when a file is opened,
well it doesn't go through the whole script. In fact, Photoshop® already open the second file and so on.
Then without running the rest of the script/action
NB. I work with the CS5 version of Photoshop® (on Mac).
Thank you for any input.
Have a nice day…

JTabbedPane background color doesn't work in Win XP - SP 1 with JRE 1.4.2

Setting background color for JTabbedPane doesn't
work in "Windows XP with SP 1" when using JRE 1.4.2.
For example, following call doesn't set the
tab to green:
tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(0, Color.green);
It always displays TABS with the white background.
Is anybody aware of this problem?
Thanks-in-advance for any help / suggestions!

Photoshop CS5 doesn't work properly after opening too many images

Hi
This is my very first post.
I'm also new to CS5. I do hundreds of photo touching/cropping that is a part of my job for web.
Everything is running fine but when ever I open too many images in Photoshop CS5 it doesn't work, I mean it doesn't hang or freezes it just open all files and then doesn't show any images (just blank) and when I closes 20/30 or more images then it get fine.
I thought it might a RAM problem but i have i3 processor with 4GB of RAM. I have also increased memory usage from 60% to 80% but I'm still facing the same problem.
Would like to tell that in the previous version of CS3 I never got this problem and worked fine.
thanks

Disabling OpenGL entirely is draconian.
You could try, if it's not already set that way, going into the Advanced settings and switching OpenGL to "Basic" mode, which uses fewer resources.

The last version of Photoshop CC doesn't work

is there any error message coming up, are you using mac or windows

Photoshop color field not working in color picker

My color field is not working properly in my color picker. How do you fix this?
WRONG (what my color picking is doing) :
CORRECT (how it should work) :

The catchall first step in correction is to reset the tool which, in this case, is the Eyedropper.
With the Eyedropper chosen, right click here:
If that doesn't solve the problem, a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

Copy paste color doesn't work?

Copying and pasting background colors of boxes doesn't appear to work. Any workarounds?

Well I read the forum rules and it doesn't say
anything about not using URGENT. Sounds like you are
going based on convention.Consider basic good manners. You have just approached a bunch of strangers and asked them for their help, for free. By telling us it's urgent, you're really saying "my problem is more important than these other people asking for help", which is only true as far as you're concerned. Everyone considers their own problem more important.
The forum rules may not say anything about not using "URGENT", but since the people answering the questions have the power to do so or not, you just have to abide by what they say. Like it or lump it, basically. Or cough up some hard currency

Photoshop color doesn't match other CS applications.

I'm going mental. I've gone thru everything I can think of. My color settings are synchronized across all CS applications. I'm trying to see document both as a soft proof and not. Neither mode improves the color differences I'm seeing on screen. Photoshop displays color TOTALLY differently from all other CS applications: Bridge, InDesign, Illustrator & Acrobat.
In the image below, Indesign is on the left. Photoshop is on the right. Image appears in Bridge, Acrobat and Illustrator just like InDesign. What the heck? Can anyone help? I'm going CRAZY!
Color settings:

i can see how those color settings can cause anyone mental stress
why are you converting everything to Adobe RGB
why are you using Adobe RGB as your Photoshop default working space
are you embedding profiles in your saved documents
what profile are you "soft proofing"
do you know what happens to your color if you open an untagged sRGB document in Photoshop and your web browser (for example)
the short answer is you have some ICC profile and settings issues you need to understand -- how Photoshop and color managed apps react to embedded profiles and untagged documents versus how they react in unmanaged apps
i also suspect you have at least monitor issue going on -- what monitor are you using -- how did you 'calibrate' it
you may want to try and slug through this

Photoshop Pressure Doesn't work on Multitouch Tablet Pc's!

I have a Hp tx2z. Its got a screen made by Ntrig and not by wacom. So instead of using the standard wintab api it uses standard hid based USB instructions.
The Dell Latitude Xt and XT2 both use these screens.
I was told by the people at Ntrig that Adobe is in fact working on writing photoshop to read data from the Ntrig digitizer.
Ntrig has been very negligent during the whole course of trying to resolve this problem and I believe that they are blowing smoke. I don't think that adobe is working on this and am wanting to confirm this.
I love LOVE LOVE photoshop, I have spent years learning the software and learning to draw in photoshop is one of the greatest joys I have. There is no software out there like it. Will someone please contact me and let me know whats going on?
is there indeed a fix on the way? Myself and 10's of thousands of Dell and Hp users would be ecstatic beyond belief if we could go back to using photoshop. (currently no use in upgrading) This way we won't have to find another way or another inferior program to try to satisfy our artistic needs.
I hope to hear back soon!
justice

No, I meant what i said,
this problem is two sided and we have two companies who can do something to fix the problem. One company is great, and one company is unbelievably arrogant. Ntrig I don't like. Adobe i do like.
regardless... both companies are loosing money and clout due to the issue. Someone on the good side "Adobe" can fix the problem just as readily as Ntrig. The first one to fix it has the most to gain and its not an overly large problem to fix for those with the know how.
I agree that Ntrig is arrogant and stubborn. Adobe I'm hoping with take the steps and play big brother to this problem and not little sister waiting for an inferior less mature company to take responsibility. We both know it is their problem, but adobe is still loosing out because of it. And adobe, you can fix their mistake and benefit from it.
Win 7 will likely find its biggest success off this digitizers multitouch setup. whether i like them or not, you can only help yourself out by updating the wonderful unrivaled software that you create to be even more flexible then it already is.
I can't wait to use photoshops brushes again. =)
take care, your not the best for nothing,
justice
