  • Can anyone tell me how to load an image to custom shape in Photoshop? I can't save it as csh...

    I've made an image, as the watermark of our photos, but I can't load it to Custom Shape in PS CS4 as I can't save it as csh. Do you know how to upload an image type file that is not csh? Or how to convert the image to csh? Thanks.

    As Chris says, you can't make it into a custom shape unless you create it as a path. But you can save it as a Custom Brush (in monochrome).

  • Photoshop CS5.1 - Can't save or open file

    This is an issue that randomly pops up and has been popping up for a while now (also in CS4 and CS5).
    Basically I will be working in Photoshop and all of a sudden I cant save the file anymore. It opens up the dialog (if i do a "save as") but after a second or two it stops, leaving the file unsaved. After this point I can't even open any more files, the "file open" dialog box opens, but no documents.
    If I have a document open during this time and try to edit a type layer, it will revert to the previous variant after I commit the changes.
    I also can't do a drag&drop command from that point onward.
    After I reboot, it starts working again ... until the next time "it" happens.
    I have openGL turned off atm, same happens with it being turned on.
    Running Win7 64bit, 4GB ram, wacom intuos 3, two monitors
    All drivers are updated, but as I've said before, it's an
    Please help!

    Everything is updated. No third party plugins are installed, just the adobe fonts are on this computer (did a fresh install cause of this issue).
    Its weird because, I can't even use the free transform tool (it shows the bounding box, but I cant drag anything). Same with the text layers, can't make any permanent changes.
    When I click on file/save nothing happens, file/save as opens up a dialog box, but then it's the same thing.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 suddenly can't save to main hard drive

    This is very strange.  In Photoshop I suddenly can't save files to the main hard drive on my mac mini.  I get the error "Could not save as [filename] because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders."  I can however save files to the secondary hard drive.  Other applications can save to the main hard drive just fine.
    As a test, in Photoshop I tried saving to the root of both drives.  I get the error only when attempting to save to the main hard drive.  I have checked the permissions of both drives and they are identical:  system R/W, wheel R/W, and everyone R/W.
    I have tried everything I can find on the message boards, but nothing works (disk repair, repair permissions, etc).  I have also reinstalled Photoshop and get the same error.
    any help much appreciated!
    thanks,
    JC

    The problem has resolved itself!
    All I did was reboot a few times in my attempts to get Command-R to work (I have a PC keyboard and the "option" and "command" keys are reversed until OS X boots).
    Oh, one other thing I did... I logged in as a different user and ran Photoshop and was able to save a file to the main hard drive.  Very strange because this guest user has less privilege than my normal login.

  • Can't Save as Quick Time Movie

    I purchased QTP, the key entered and it seems to be working. But when I attempt to save videos from the Photoshop subscriber page, nothing comes up for me to do it. No little arrow in the bottom right hand corner, right clicking to beat the band doesn't work, there is no File tab at the top of the screen, etc. Am I missing a plug in or something? How does one get help from their "support"? Does a Quick Time expert read this forum and help us out? I'm disgusted.

    1. From FAQ on the Photoshop webpage - How can I save the Videos to my hard drive so I can watch them when I’m not connected to the internet? This is the next most frequently asked question. The easy answer is to buy the full version of Quicktime from www.apple.com/quicktime/. It costs $29.99 to upgrade but its well worth it if you find yourself using Quicktime often. When you do buy the full version, you can choose File > Save and save the movie anywhere on your hard drive.
    2. The menu when I right click on the video is "back ... save background as ..." etc.
    3. Don't know if the files have a QT controller.
    4. Here is the link to the page. You don't have to be a subscriber to view a couple of the videos on this page. (I am a subscriber.) Although I should be able to save these, nothing comes up that allows me to do this.

  • Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

    We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

  • I've doubled my RAM but still can't save big files in photoshop...

    I have just upgraded my Ram from the shipped 4GB to 8GB but I still can't save big images in photoshop. It seems to have made no difference to the speed of general tasks and saving and I can't save big files in photoshop at all. I already moved massive amounts of files off my computer and onto my external hard drive, so there is much less in my computer now, and twice the RAM but it is making no noticeable difference. When I click memory, under 'about my mac' it shows that the RAM is installed and now has twice the memory. Could this be something to do with photoshop? I'm running CS6.

    Also, I just calculated 220 cm into inches and this is roughly 86.5 inches. Over 7 feet in length.
    WIth an image that large, you may want to consider down sampling to a lower DPI to help with being able to work on and process images of this size much easier and it will be easier for your Print house to process, as well.
    You might want to consider working with these rather large images at 225 DPI instead of 300 if resolution at close distances is still a concern.
    Or what you good try is working with the images at 300 DPI, but then save them/export them as a Jpeg image at the highest image quality setting.
    I do a lot of project where I use a high resolution jpeg image to save on image proceesing overhead.
    The final printed images still come out pretty clear, clean and crisp without having to process those large files at a print house or having to deal with using that full resolution image in a page layout or illustration program.

  • Can't save layered .psd files in Photoshop CS3

    Hello,
    I noticed yesterday that I can no longer save layered .psd files to any folder. What does get saved is only a generic file symbol.
    I'm using a Dell 8200 computer, 1GB of RAM, IntelPentium4 processer, Windows XP Professional,and a Canon MP780 multiple function printer.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    George Masi

    Is it saved incorrectly, or is the problem just that the icon is the generic one. In other words, can you A) click to open the file from the desktop. And, b) if you can't click from the desktop, can you open the file from within Photoshop, and see the layers correctly.
    If B works, and A does not, then this means your Windows has lost the association between PSD files and Photoshop. You can often correct this by right clicking the file, and choosing Open With, with the Always open with this program field checked. There is also a way to set the icons back up, but this is more complicated.

  • I edit my photos in Photoshop, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto.  But if I add text to an image in Photoshop can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

    I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11.  If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd.  Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

    Terence Devlin wrote:
    Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
    While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
    I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
    The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
    Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

  • How can I save photos that I have modified in Photoshop Elements to my computer hard drive?

    How can I save photos that I have modified in Photoshop Elements to my computer hard drive folders?

    When finished editing click File->Save/Save As and you can either overwrite the original file or rename it and save as new file keeping original intact.

  • How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

    How can I save a Photoshop Elements 12 file as HTML?

    Sorry, not possible in PSE itself. You'd need to put your photo into the web creation software you use. If you are using an older version of PSE some versions created web albums/galleries which included an index.html page, but that's as much as PSE does. There's nothing like that in PSE 12 since Adobe wants you to use Revel for photo sharing now.

  • How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

    how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

    You have two options:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

  • How can I save my contact sheets in Photoshop Lightroom?

    How can I save my contact sheets in Photoshop Lightroom? I see that you create the sheets under the Print tab but how can I save them as jpgs to my desktop?

    Kittie,
    I use this workflow and it works really well for me; it's really strange that it
    i did
    work for you and now it doesn't.
    I had a quick dabble and
    i may
    have an explanation. If I read your error message it looks like "New Folder" is trying to create a folder ~kittie/Desktop/3 Working/Contact Pages. However, the automator "create folder" won't create folders recursively like that - it will only work if "3 Working" already exists. Certainly I was able to reproduce the 'quick flash error message and bomb out with no results' effect by asking it to produce a directory from one that didn't already exist. When I added two Finder actions it didn't work as I expected - producing 74 files in subdirectories that just looped round and round when I expected one file and one directory.
    I added a shell script that renames the files too and it all works just dandy for me. If you let me know your e-mail I'll post the automator "app" file and shell script I use. It gives you sensibly named files instead of the sdkjfdfadkljfb.jpeg thing that comes out of automator.
