Photoshop CS2 How to save after using channels

I'm using a tutorial called Creative Focus with Lens blur to blur the background of an image.  I can follow the tutorial through to the the Depth map, but can't work out what to do after that.  I apply the settings for the depth map but can't go any further.  What do I do with the channels to save it?
Thanks

I realised that when I click on RGB channel to select it, after making the depth map, that the alpha channel wasn't turned off as the tutorial said it would be, so turned it off manually.  Yes I see the [OK] button and used it.  The whole image appeared to have blurred to me, even although the depth map was white where I wanted it to be in focus.
After I used the [OK] button the image reappeared, so I flattened it in "layers" and saved it. A warning appeared that I had an alpha channel there and could only save a copy.  Am I supposed to delete the alpha channel, or make it active again, or something else?
Many thanks for your time.

  • FlashWPG in Photoshop CS2 - how to edit it?

    Hi to everyone!
    Last time I installed third Flash Web gallery to Photoshop
    CS2 v.9 My OS is Windows XP SP2. And I don't know why my e-mail
    address on generated gallery doesn't work (after click on it,
    nothing happend). Here is link to my gallery:
    http://lazi.ovh.org/zdjecia/galeria/damianek/pierwsze_dni/index.htm
    If I prepare gallery in Flash Web Gallery 1 or 2 this link
    working fine (my default e-mail client opening new message window).
    Somebody have any idea why it doesn't work and how to fix it?
    Regards

    But when we open this pll using text pad, I opened it just to see if there are more headers than I can see in forms builder, I found there is one more $header apart from two visible in forms builder.This is likely becuase when you compile a Forms object it stores PL/SQL Byte Code in the file. Perform a PL/SQL Find and Replace operation and search for the semicolan ";" and replace it with the semicolan ";". This will invalidate all PL/SQL blocks in the Forms object and drop the stored byte-code. Save your file and then perform your search again. My bet is that you will only find "two" instances of "$header" after this.
    As too your statement...
    Can someone tell me how I can find this header and edit it.I tried editing in hex binary editor, but after saving ,it stops opening in form builder then.Never use anything but an Oracle supplied editor (Forms Builder or the JDAPI Java Library) to edit your Forms objects. There is control code stored in the files and using a different editor will corrupt your Forms files.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 shuts itself down after printing..

    Not sure whether I'm in the right place to post this..
    In my workplace, we just bought some new iMacs for design class. They are a 2GHz with Intel Core Duo, and has 1GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM, and running Mac OSX 10.4.8.
    The Photoshop CS2 is version 9.0
    I've config-ed the five new iMacs so they can print to a printer, using IP printing. Problem is, most of the time after the students sends the document they want to print to the printer, Photoshop CS2 just shuts itself down. Then the dialog box saying 'the software just unexpectedly quit' appears.
    It is confusing me, because our older iMacs (that's not an Intel-based) doesn't have this problem, at all.
    is it something to do with CS2 compatibility with Intel-based Macs? or something else.. what needs to be done to stop this annoying problem?

  • Photoshop CS2 won't save files in JPEG format

    I have Windows Vista and am using Photoshop CS2 Version 9.
    Until today everything was working fine, but there are two problems.
    1. Only today I have a limited amount of formats to save a .PSD file in:
    PSD, CIN, PDF, RAW, PNG, and TIFF.
    Whereas if I want to save a JPEG file per say as another format, I get the full list to choose from.
    2. If I choose a layer on an image, not all the filters show up that I can run it through. The 'Artistic, Brush Strokes, Pixelate, Sketch, and Stylize' are not clickable.
    Thank you.

    You slipped into 16 bit mode. Try going back to 8 bit.

  • S.O.S.!!! Photoshop CS2 crashes 5 sec after it is open...

    I recently upgraded to OS 10.5 Leopard. I noticed that their have been problems with PSCS3 and Leopard, but not CS2, till now. When I open Photoshop it stays open for about 5 sec.(up until the point where the welcome screen is suppose to show) then quits. I then receive that "Unexpected Quit" message. What should I do? All I can think of is turning off the welcome screen feature, but to do that, it has to open. Is there a way to trash the "Welcome Screen" feature? Any other suggestions would be fine. Only alternative is to downgrade to Tiger again, which I DON'T want to do if I don't have to.
    thanx for your response.

    I have the same issue, The one difference being that I am running Tiger. Another difference is that I also have PS CS3 installed. I need to use CS2 due to client specifications. (I am a small freelancer trying to make it in the large commercial field so I do what I need to). Have had CS3 installed for a while with no problems, but used CS2 for most everything, until recently. Now it quits after a few seconds regardless of what I do, Use it or not.
    Really don't want to loose this client. It's a small account, but accounts for a bunch of my freelance work.
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop cc - can't save after edits

    Simply cannot save an image, after editing.

    Ok, I think the key here is save as vs. save. What I am thinking is the original file is set to read only. Meaning you can not save over top of that file, but you can use save as and create a new file.
    In windows explorer locate the file you are opening, then right click on it and see if read only is enabled.

  • How to save and use videos Offline

    DA reporting sucks badly.
    Recently some user have deleted imp files on a unix server.
    If you see who all logged in Unix, it shows DA server name for all users logged via DA.
    user logged in via normal VPN, clearly shows the machine name for user but not in DA.
    There is no option to select time and see who all was logged in during that time in DA?
    under "access details" it only shows the name of DC but not the actual server name that user would have accessed. (what is the use of this option then - useless)
    search box dont work, I tried putting every IP but yields no results.

  • Adobe CS2 asking for "personalization" after using it for 3+ years

    I have contacted Adobe directly about this and I saw on their site CS4 users had same issue: it asks for the serial number it is is not recognized as valid. I have the original box the discs it came with. I've gone the gamit with Adobe's recommendations and nothing works. This glitch has caused me to lose the use of InDesign and Illustrator (CS2 – yes, it's old but the same issue applies to the newer version!!!)
    This all went down around January 13th of this year. I believe I got an automatic update to Firefox at that time but nothing else was added.
    I could not find a discussion on this so if any of you can offer advice I would greatly appreciate it!!

    Hi there, not sure what it could be, but At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667
    After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.

  • Why won't Photoshop CS2 won't open after installation.

    I've had Creative Suite Premium installed on my laptop for years and not had problems.  I installed it on my home desktop and the activation was accepted.  All other Suite programs work but Photoshop only goes so far as the blue window and the hourglass just sits there.  I'm working with XP Pro and when I open Task Manager Photoshop is shown as not responding.  I've tried to repair with the installation disk and I've tried to uninstall/reinstall twice but nothing seems to help.
    Since I put the Suite on my laptop, the Installation disks have been on my book shelf.  What could possibly be preventing Photoshop from opening?
    Many Thanks in advance,
    Jim Lynn

    What is shown in the blue window as loading when the thing freezes?
    Have you tried resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.   A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

    It seems you want to use the SAVe functionality by creating Custom Button IS IT?
    If yes, then what you have to do is, You will need to use Web Application Designer.
    Over here you can create as many custom buttons you want using Button command Group Web item.
    You can give your own description to such buttons as well as you can use your selective Command Instruction for the same.
    Please search for WAD in forums and you will find a lot of good documents.

  • How I can open Labview6.1 files form Labview5.1, or how to save file using 6.1 in order to open it by 5.1

    I tried "save with options" but there are only 6.0/6.1 versions but no prior. How I can convert files from LV6.1 to LV5.1?

    You will at least need LV 6.0.X to do the conversion IF POSSIBLE!
    There were many features and functions added between 5.1 and 6.1. None of these are backward compatible.
    If you have 6.0.x then first do a save for previous from 6.1 the 6.0.x then repeat uisng LV 6i.

  • How to save image using an image object in servlet on web server

    I'll be very thankful to anyone who helps me in this matter.
    i developed an applet which draws on a buffered image.
    now i want to save this buffered image as a jpg image on the web server.
    i know i have to use servlets or jsp for this.
    but i want to use servlet for specific reasons.
    can anyone plz provide me the code for taking an image object from an applet and saving it thru servlet.
    i need this solution as soon as possible.
    thanks in advance.

    Take a look around for URLConnection, and Applet to Servlet communication (also check the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=33]Servlet forum).
    Basic concepts will be to open a URLConnection to the URL mapped on your server for the servlet, then send the image, byte by byte, to the servlet, then ask for a reply from the servlet.
    Once asked for a reply the servlet will need to take the image sent to it (hopefully via an HTTP post) and copy it to a location on disk. (You could have a parameter to the request that tells you want to name the file...)
    As for the converting buffered image to JPEG, I haven't done this before, but I know others have. You can look around (more likely to find it in the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=31]Java Programing[ul] forum) for the code needed.
