Photoshop CS4 Gradient Editor thumbnails showing issue.

I have some problems with displaying the thumbnails in "gradient editor". The thumbnails always shows my current f/b color. I've tried to reset the gradients and even reinstalled PS CS4.
My gradient editor:

Unless you duplicated your F/B gradient several times and deleted the other gradients... I'm not even sure how that is possible.

PHotoshop CS4 - scanner doesn't show up in File - Import

Hello,
I have an Epson Perfection 4180 scanner, and Photoshop CS4 extended and a Mac OSX 10.6.3. I installed photoshop but the scanner doesn't show up under the File>Import menu. Normally it be there, i'd click it, and it launches the scanner within photoshop.
I found some info on google which suggested to look in a folder on the installation DVD called "Goodies"
In there is a folder called Optional "Plug-Ins"
In there is a folder called "Import-Export"Where i found a file called TWAIN.plugin
I put the file into Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug-ins/Import-Export but it still doesn't appear in photoshop file > import.
Any ideas on what i should do?
Many thanks
Rossella

Use the stand-alone application.
And/or do a Forum search for »CS4 scanner« – that should turn up a couple threads.

Photoshop Elements 9 Editor not showing images in Project Bin

Yesterday I went though my PE9 Organiser and rearrange some of my files and made sure that it was more user friendly.
Today I went in to try and do some edits and not all of the folders are showing up in PE9 Project Bin. I can view some images, but not all images. I know that I can view some images that I move yesterday, but there are some that weren't moved that I can't see and some that I didn't move that i can't see.
When i go to my Organiser I can see that the images are tagged and in the folders - why can't PE9 Editor show them to me?

Hi,
Can you please tell where are folders visible in Project Bin?
I can't see folders in my PE9 project bin.
Thanks

Photoshop CS4 64-bit - Copy & Paste Issue

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I am having trouble copying and pasting things. The issue is that after I copy something/Print Screen, it takes several pastes for Photoshop to finally realize the change. Basically, the first couple of times I paste, the thing that was previously copied gets pasted it. I don't know if it's making a difference but it switches the paste to the latest thing that was copied faster after I minimize and maximize back the program. It's extremely annoying especially because then I have to either undo each time/delete the layers. Plus, I do a lot of frame comparisons between different video sources and it's hard to tell whether the thing being pasted was changed or not. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Unless you want the whole screen, why not use the Snipping tool? It's great!
Anyway, regarding the clipboard problem try Edit > Purge> Clipboard before you capture what you want.

Aperture 2.1.4 to PS CS4 External Editor Color Profile issues????

Anyone else experience this?
I shoot Nikon D700 and D90 with sRGB color space. When I send a file to CS4 via external editor, PS prompts that my embedded color space is Adobe 1998. ***??????
I immediately went and checked all my settings on my camera and they're fine. Is this Aperture's doing? PS? maybe even SL?
Dazed and Confused
Message was edited by: rtd2870

Aperture uses the Adobe 1998 color space as it has a wider color gamut than sRGB. Like most things in Aperture, you choose your color space on export.
sRGB is used primarily for the web, and some printers that accept RGB files ask for sRGB because their printers can't match the Adobe 1998 Gamut.
If your camera is capable of shooting Adobe 1998, you should, but it doesn't really matter when shooting RAW.

Photoshop CS4 opengl crapness

I'm wondering why is it that I have to go into the prefereneces every sodding time to enable the GPU support.. I have the latest gfx drivers XPsp3, 8800gtx, Photoshop seems incapable of just working properly, I suppose I could ignore the error message, but it would still leave me to have go turn the stupid poor feature back on... which does actually work, but PS seems to think it needs disabling after I close the program.. wtf
btw I did follow adobes crap support docs on this issue...
"3. Update your GPU drivers and then turn on Enable OpenGL Drawing.
If Photoshop crashes or disappears because of a GPU problem, it turns off Enable OpenGL Drawing and it writes a flag file in the preferences folder, called GPUinitcrashed. The next time you open Photoshop, this warning displays: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
Download the most recent version of your display driver from the display card manufacturer's site (Windows) or check to see if there's an operating system update (Mac OS).
Important: If you turn on Enable OpenGL Drawing before you update your driver, then Photoshop uses the old display driver again. If the driver wasn't updated, then Photoshop fails again. If you do not turn on Enable OpenGL Drawing, then the GPU won't be accessed and Photoshop does not fail.
..."Photoshop does not fail.".. lol yeah right Photoshop FAILS alright.. fails at poor innovation and shity noob features year in, year out.

When I say I have the latest gfx drivers.. I mean the LATEST 180.43 currently ... "It's probably safe to say that a lot of people who claim to have "the latest drivers" haven't really bothered to check in a while. " ... so you can take that nonsense back.
anyway for the past day PS hasn't brought back the opengl prompt saying its disabled itself... course the day before that even though I was using the same gfx drivers it would forget I had turned on acceleration, and on next app relaunch I'd get that prompt. So I'm just hoping it stays on this time and doesn't bother me again, course if upgrade the gfx drivers I'm sure it will disable itself again and I'll be back to the useless PS preferences dialog to enable it.
Chris Farrel.. its def not an issue to do with my hdd setup or partition setup.. i know what you're saying, but scratch disks and disk i/o is not the issue here.. its Photoshop CS4 and it has some issues caused with this opengl implementation and GUI change, maybe its also to do with Nvidia they've been known to be slackers for fixing application bugs.. if it ain't a game they don't seem give **** I mean they are more likely to have hoards of gamers pissed off at there new game not working than adobe users who don't seem to have a clue when something isn't working or a way of pinpointing the problem.
Bart Cross - grow some balls.. and instead of playing cry baby.. you leave some crap response about XP being the problem!! you're blaming an OS that has run Photoshop CS3 absolutly fine without any floating doc lag or opengl disabling itself on app close! and don't at all think that perhaps CS4 that has a new graphics system is perhaps has some issues? you must be one stupid fanboy. I wonder what your OS of choice is.
Pimco- delay as much as possible or try get CS3, CS4 is a doozy, no doubt CS5 might be better.. heck you might even get the rest of the features they held back from this release :P like they give you alt+rmb left/right to adjust brush size..but wtf happened to adjusting brush hardness.. pfff Adobe idiots.. that might get added next 18months where you'll be able to alt+rmb up&down to adjust brush hardness or let alone any other brush dynamics.. well done adobe.. thanks for stringing out the features.
And I've heard many other CS4 users complain about the poor opengl performance.. and not just in Photoshop .. AFX .. heck even Soundbooth has been known to have gfx glitches.. and moving floating documents does display a lag, not when you're moving but initialy as you grab hold of that floating docs titlebar.. never happened with PS CS3.
Wing.. you must be my new fan :) to go out and collect all those quotes well done. I enjoyed reading them

Epson 3800 Printer & Photoshop CS4

I've had the snow leopard disc since it came out some 6 months ago, but haven't installed it due to so many issue that I've read about.
1) Is anyone using snow leopard successfully with the Epson 3800 Printer? Epson has yet to release (if they ever will remains a mystery for owners of this printer) a full-fledged update for the driver.
2) Is anyone using Photoshop CS4 with snow leopard without issues?
Thanks.

Well Adobe did it again offering a discount to convert to CS5 just before they released a new version of PSE that is PSE9 for mac
Tested it and the colours come out perfectly just like CS5 and they acutally left in the option on the print screen to select "NO COLOUR MANAGEMENT". In CS5 they pulled it out and as PSE9 appears to be made up of CS5 they must have back tracked on this option after the yelling and screaming from the community.
However we now have(another problem) an issue with grey/cyan printing outside the image area being printed see

Tinting shadows with Gradient Editor

I recently saw a presentation that spoke of tinting shadows on an image by converting to black and white, then
creating a gradient map layer. From there you went into the Gradient Editor and place the cursor directly beneath
the gray scale, and starting from the black end, move it toward the white end until the arrow cursor changes to a
finger pointer. You then use the value in Location...
Unfortunately, every time I do this my cursor is ALWAYS a pointing finger. I can put in color stops, but I don't
believe that was what the technique used... I've tried using alt, ctrl, and/or shift in all the combinations I can
think of, but no matter what I do, I always get the pointing finger instead of the arrow cursor.
Does anyone know what I need to do differently to get the Gradient Editor to show an arrow cursor until I reach
whatever point I should be at when it changes to a pointing finger? And what IS that point? Does it represent
the darkest black in the image, or what?

OK, (hopefully), here's a screen shot of the Gradient Editor. I'd put an arrow on there, but I can't find an arrow brush, so where I put the cursor is a red butterfly right below the gradient...
When I saw the technique shown, the cursor there was an regular curso, and as you move the cursor toward the white point, at SOME point, it's supposed to change to a pointing finger.
As I said, mine doesn't...

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor Issue

Have downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the Mac App Store onto my Mac Book Pro, set iPhoto preferences to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor, but when trying to open a file from my iPhoto library, the following message appears: "unable to complete your request because of a program error". What can I do to resolve this issue?

Are you able to edit an image file that's not in the iPhoto library with PSE 10?
Also the followinjg has some tips on configuring PSE for use inside iPhoto that you may or may not know about:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9/10 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Photoshop CS4 Issues with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800?

I have an Mac Pro Intel 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Xeon with 6GB RAM running OS X 10.5.5 and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT driving two monitors.
I just installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 fresh from a factory CD.
When I perform a Distort -> Lens Correction or do a Free Transform to rotate an image an arbitrary amount, and then follow that with a resize (tried 133% and 166%), the image ends up with a pattern of gray plaid overlaid -- especially visible in the darkest shadows. The pattern appears only on the rotated layers of an image.
This pattern persists if I quit and restart Photoshop, BUT -- there's no pattern visible if I open the same image in Photoshop CS3. It only appears in CS4.
This is easy to reproduce -- I just tried it with an image I created in Photoshop at 5x7" at 240dpi and filled with solid black.
I dropped a Bug Report to Adobe, and they wrote back suggesting "This is most likely an issue with your video card driver."
Anybody else out there having this issue? Anyone with an identical setup want to test this?

I'm seeing what you are talking about when viewing at 200% and up on my 300dpi images. I'm thinking that its the new pixel grid overlay for dialing in the details on the image.
No, that's not it. I can see it at 100%, and only on images that have been rotated and resized.
In fact, yesterday I rotated one layer under an unrotated layer, and only the rotated layer showed the plaid pattern.
And it's not a simple grid -- it's a real plaid-like gray, almost like stretch marks.

Installation and compatibility issues with photoshop CS4 - Win 8

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 8. I am experiencing issues when attempting to install the downloaded and upgrade copy of photoshop CS4. Initially unpacking the software presented issues, but I believe they've been resolved - specifically I had to change the folder attribute from read only while unpacking, of course the tedium arose when this endeavor didn't seem to apply the new attributes to all subfolders and files. I percivered though by repeating it for each folder throughout. When I select the icon for the setup.exe file though the process ends as quickly as it began. I considered that it my have been seeking the previous version (in my case photoshop elements) so I sought to install it first, but as you may have guessed the old software is experiencing it's own compatibility issues. Does anyone know if photoshop CS4 will even work in Windows 8, and I hope someone will have already cleared this hurdle and can give me direction - please, I really am hoping for a life preserver here!
Thankyou, Chris
PS I did attempt to open one of the attached adobe reader files that came with the downloaded copy, but unfortunately they won't open prior to installation given they show the file size 0kb. I don't know if these files are simply acting as place holders for the cab files - or whether there remains an issue while unpacking the files to begin with.

If the executable doesn't even run, it's either being shut down by some security stuff on your system or can't find a component. Impossible to tell. whiel there may be compatibility issues, on a more general level CS4 should run on Win 8...

Font not showing up in Photoshop CS4 for Windows

I have fonts that I've installed in both my Windows XP and Windows 7 PCs. They show up in the Control Panel - Fonts and open, they show up in Word, but do not show up in Photoshop CS4. I see in the CS4 Mac forums that there is a way to register a font in CS4, but I can find nothing on doing that on a Windows PC. Can anyone help?

Adobe programs are sensitive to font issues, and one, the Titler in Premiere, is the most sensitive. This ARTICLE was written primarily for Titler, BUT translates to PS too. Often, a corrupt, or poorly-designed font will crash Titler, where that same font will usually just fail to display in PS, though it might cause hangs. Tracking down the problem font is outlined in the above article.
However, even if a font is not corrupt, or bad, it just might not display properly in some Adobe programs. I found that Isabelle and Isabella (two different fonts, with similar names) and from several foundaries, just do not display in Photoshop, or Illustrator. They do not crash the program, or cause a hang, but they obviously have an issue, and just will not display. They also do not crash Titler, but do not display.
Other fonts, such as the older DejaVu, installed with OpenOffice, would crash Titler. I do not have that font, but do understand that Oracle has rewritten it, so that it now works OK.
Good luck, and it could well be that your problem font(s) can be replaced by a better one, that has similar characteristics, or can be replaced by the same font, but from another foundary.

Photoshop Elements 9 Editor menus not showing

missing Quick/Guided/Effects menus in Editor

It's Windows...when I click on any of the tabs, Guided, Effects, etc, it's blank (black background). It usually has the thumbnails, for example, under Effects, 'neon' 'sketch' all that is gone. A pop up shows up & states the Help content is missing & I might have to re-install.

Do you mean you can't see the words Full/Quick/Guided under the Edit tab? (There are no menus there.) Is the Edit tab active and not Create or Share? Windows or Mac?

Satellite A200 - Picture issue with Photoshop CS4 Extended

Hi Everyone
I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 notebook and I have tried to install Photoshop CS4 Extended yesterday.
There appears to be a problem as every image I bring up looks like this (image link to my flickr account to show what is happening) http://www.flickr.com/photos/meg_and_fred/2990212103/
I have updated the ATI driver, uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 and its still not working. I also have Photoshop Elements 6 which is opening the same images perfectly so it mus be a CS4 and A200 compatibility problem - does anyone know how to fix this or what the problem could be?
Thanks so much!!

Maybe you should update your Photoshop CS4 Extended software.
In my opinion this could solve this issue because as you said the picture can be edited properly using the Photoshop Elements 6.
I think its ONLY a Photoshop CS4 Extended software issue.
