Photoshop CS3 vanishing point help

i'm having a bit of trouble with the vanishing point filter. this is the first time i've ever really used it to any extent so i must be overlooking something trivial or maybe it's just a program error...
anyway, whats happening is i'm trying to apply art to a box using the vanishing point filter, there is no problem with creating or editing the planes but as soon as i paste the artwork from the clipboard and try to position it to the front of the box it only wraps around two of the planes correctly and the third plane is cut off in an odd location and doesn't match up with the rest of the "box" i can't figure this out and i'm rather unsure what i should do about it seeing as how i've been unable tgo find support for this problem. any help is greatly appriciated. thanks.

I think it's how it calcualtes the plane area in relation to the original layer size vs. the "texture" resolution. What if you simply try to do this in multiple steps? I mean, some touchup is inevitable, so why not make it easy on you? The plane setup will remain active during a session, so it should be easy to make the required adjustments...

An update -
The libraries appear to all be in tact, now.
The error I am getting,

VANISHING POINT HELP - PHOTOSHOP / AFTER-EFFECTS

I've followed along with the Vanishing Point tutorials and can't get them to work, Ill create my image in Photoshop and apply the Vanishing Point filter, create 4 walls and a background, all blue grids, export the .vpe and load into AFX and I get distorted images that don't look like my scene, it appears that Photoshop is incorrectly slicing the images and so when loaded onto the geometry it doesn't look at all correct, HELP what am I doing wrong?
EXAMPLES OF HOW IT LOOKS IN AFX:

Hi Jeremiah,
Please mention the exact version of Photoshop that was used to create the VPE and also the version of After Effects that you are using with the details of Operating system.

CS3: Vanishing Point won't work

I have a fairly large PSD (130MB) that I need to run the Vanishing Point filter on. I did it once, no problem. Now when I try I get an error:
Tried on two different machines, each with CS3 and 10 GB RAM.
What gives? Is there a less helpful error message in Photoshop?

I have had similar issues and this has worked for me. Copy the background layer, then create a new document, you will not need to do anything to the size because PS will use the size of the file you just copied. After it opens paste your image. If you need any other layers you can drag those over as well, but if you don't need them before you go into vanishing point I would wait until after you have run vanishing point just to be safe. For some reason creating this new document seems to do the trick, but I have found that sometimes, after I have worked on a file a while, the same thing will happen again. So you have to do the whole copy, new document thing again.

PS: I have this issue on all three of my computers, Dual 2ghz GD, Quad 2.5ghz G5, and 8 Core 3ghz Mac Pro. I have 18 gb ram on my 8 Core and my scratch drive is a raid 0 and consists of 6 15k drives striped over 2 channels. So it's not an issue with scratch or not enough ram.

Vanishing Point Help!!

Hi, I'm using Photoshop CS2 and have a really annoying problem with the vanishing point filter.
I am using vanishing point to add different carpet tile patterns onto the floor of a room set image. To do this I am creating the pattern in a seperate document as a birds eye view (this is quite a large file). I then copy this, open vanishing point and paste.
The annoying thing is after opening photoshop this method will work for the first 2 maybe 3 patterns but on the fouth the vanishing point filter just wont open. If i try to copy just half the pattern it will open and as i go on it then wont even open with half the pattern copied so i have to copy a quater of the pattern until it gets to a point where i have to restart photoshop and 'hey presto' it will now copy the full pattern over into vanishing point!
After each pattern I complete i make sure to purge the history and clipboard and i have no other programs open at the same time.
So my question is why will it work for the first three but not anymore?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Photoshop CC vanishing point

Hi fellow DG artists....I have the CC and my vanishing point works once in a while but not at all with regularity. I am never really sure if I am signed in...never a "you are signed in as Donna" notation. I really need the feature for a presentation tomorrow...Anyone have an idea for me? Thankyou in advance...Donna B.

What's happening exactly? Is Vanishing Point just not loading?

I cant print custom sizes in photoshop CS3. Please help

I am on my Imac G4 using mac os x 10.4.11. I know that it is not my printer that is the problem. I have been told that I should upgrade to 10.5.x, I have also purchased a new CS3 because I dont have the original copy so I cant reinstall it. The trouble that I am having is that when I try to print custom sizes, the printer defaults back to 8.5x11. Only in photoshop does it do this. Has anyone else had this problem or know what I can do to fix it? I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time. I will check back until this is resolved.

Russell,
Because your screen shots (they look like you actually shot them with a camera! ) don't show the whole Print Preview panel, I'm not sure at what stage you're losing the paper size, but it's pretty clear that by the time you invoke the printer driver, it's royally screwed up.
At this point I would:
• delete the printer from your printer list (in the Printer Setup Utility),
• re-install a fresh copy of the latest printer driver from the Epson site,
• then add the printer back in.
This is the kind of consistency you should be seeing (Command Click on each thumbnail to open the full-size image in a new web browser tab) [NOTE: this is CS4 running in Tiger 10.4.11):

I can't open a file i was working on yesterday in Photoshop CS3. Please help!

It keeps telling me : 'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop'. I can't view my file at all and it's very important. Help!!

Could you have mis-named the file and it is actually some other file format than the suffix indicates?
Otherwise the file may be damaged and your hopes of salvaging it depend on your back-ups or recovery software …

Photoshop CS6 Vanishing Point Font Size

How do I make it bigger? When you render it to photoshop you have to zoom in to see it.

I rendered the measurements to Photoshop but when you do it brings them in so small
you can't read any of the measurements. Anyway to increase this font so you can read it?

Photoshop CS3 is not working with my Intuos suddenly!!! Pen goes in crazy lines instead of behaving?!

I am so frustrated tonight. My BRAND NEW Wacom Intuos tablet worked fine the last time I tried it, a couple months ago. I am running a Mac OSX with Parallels and Windows 7, which I run Photoshop CS3 on. It was doing fine but now suddenly I try it tonight and it goes crazy when I'm trying to paint with the brush--sensitivity is gone, it's just a thick line; more importantly, it won't behave!! The pen keeps spazzing and doing these retarded straight lines instead of going where I want it to go!!! It works perfectly fine outside of Photoshop, both on the Windows AND Mac side, so obviously this is a Photoshop problem. I've installed the latest Wacom Intuos driver for Win7 and it won't work. I've tried having Photoshop open first and then plugging in the tablet and I've tried plugging in the tablet first and then opening Photoshop. still no good.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

You installed the latest driver from here?
Drivers | Wacom
Also, resetting the photoshop cs3 preferences could help.
Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Shift+Cmd+Option) keys just after starting the launch of photoshop cs3.
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes because you do.

Grid lines disappear in vanishing point

I can't figure out why sometimes the gridlines will disappear in a plane in vanishing point. Take the screenshot for instance. I drew the bottom plane first and gridlines were there. Then I did an apple-extend on the top grid which has lines. But now when I click back in the bottom plane, the gridlines don't come back. Sometimes my gridlines are also red, yellow, or blue and this seems to affect how I can alter them. What is the pattern?

Found this answer regarding the colors anyway:
"Once you create your perspective plane, it should be represented by a blue grid. Sometimes, however, you may find the color of your grid isn't always be blue—it may be red or yellow. This is Photoshop's way of telling you that you've created an impossible perspective, and the grid needs correction. Yellow means you're close to a proper perspective; red means you're way off."

Can I make a (simple and basic) website with Photoshop CS3?

I know there are tools in the Photoshop CS3 that can help me with web design functions such as making slices, animated gif, layer etc. But can it help me to design and create a simple and basic personal website? I don't need any fancy stuff like dynamic html or xml (maybe I will put some music files) but only basic html would be enough. I have MS Frontpage 2003, which can help me to create a website with no problem at all but I like the slices and layers idea on the Photoshop. Plus sometimes a website that was created by Frontpage will not look the same or work properly in Firfox, which is the browser that I use all the time. I wish I could have Dreamweaver CS3 but it is too expensive for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
p.s. If the answer is no, then I would start using Frontpage to help me with that.

Forget FrontPage. Forget you ever even heard of it.
