Photoshop CS5 canvas missing.

Hello, recently I have been running into an issue whenever I try to open up PhotoShop CS5 on my Mac.
While trying to open up a document, whether it be a brand new one or opening up a previous file, the canvas is missing.
On the side in my workspace all the layers and options are visible but there is no image to be found.
I have searched online and found that holding: "command+option+shift" will reset the preferences and that usually does the trick.
Problem is is that after I quite out of PS and reopen it, I run into the same problem.
If anyone can help me out with this problem it would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

tyler19934,
You must be a new Mac user. Mac applications behave like that.
As of CS4, Adobe has provided a workaround for recent Mac converts who prefer the Windows way: it's called the Application Frame, as Noel says.
In Photoshop CS5, go to the Window menu and check the Application Frame menu item.
In CS4, it's unchecked by default, and in CS6 it's checked by default.
Checking it will give you the Windows-like behavior you want.

I downloaded both files and when I try to open I get this,The file archive part of adobe photoshop cs5 is missing.

I can't open either file, first one keeps asking me what to open with and the second one says, the file archive part of adobe photoshop cs5 is missing. what am I doing wrong? I have a serial number

It sounds like your downloaded archive file the big is eithe corrupt or not where it should be. That file is a 7Zip file which can be extracted with 7zip. If the downloaded file is bad delete it and download it again Download CS5 products

Exported images to external editor (Photoshop CS5) have missing adjustments

Hi All
Wonder if anyone knows the answer to this. Basically if I select a image that has Aperture adjustments applied to it and edit in external editor (in my case CS5) the image opens without the adjustments, however if I export the image say to the desktop then open them in CS5 it is fine. The adjustments I made in aperture are contrast, curve vibrancy etc and some brush adjustments. Also I have heard that the sharpening brush adjustment is not exported ? Running a iMac on 10.6.4 and Aperture 3.0.3
Any help would be much appreciated.

If I take an image with a large number of adjustments including all the ones you've listed above, multiple brushes etc. and click open in CS5, Aperture takes a reasonable while to process the image, creates a psd with all the adjustments applied and then opens the 16 bit 300 dpi psd file in photoshop. So what you are describing is not a universal bug as it's been working as it should every time on my machine.
It may be a slight library corruption from your side.Your last description of long and short process times is telling. Have you done the basic checks? Rebuild database, check library permissions, ensure that the images in question on online if referenced etc?
Fill us in a little bit more about your setup - can you tell a difference between the images it works on and those it doesn't (RAW or jpeg, what flavour of RAW, referenced or managed, same camera or different) - and we'll see if we can help you further.

My Photoshop CS5 is missing from the App. directory but the folder to reinstall has vanished. How can I reinstall???

I do not have a disc & believe I got it when I bought this desktop in 2011. All other software in the Creative Suite works fine but Photoshop says: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application." Can anyone help me???

If you registered your Adobe applications, you can retrieve the s/n by accessing your Adobe account at the Adobe corporate web site.
You can do a search for the trial version.
You are NOT addressing Adobe, and I'm not inclined to do all your legwork for you. Sorry.

Where can i download Photoshop CS5

I know photoshop CS 6 is out. But my company doesn't have CS6,
It has CS5 but they lost the disks or never had any or something, Maybe they used the downloads when they where available, But they have serials for CS5 and I can't buy CS6 !
I've been looking all over the place for a legal download of CS5 so i can use it.
Does anyone know where I can get one ?
Any help would be great.

Oh i see.. Ok i followed them and i didn't get the error.
However. When i downloaded the photoshop_12_LS1.exe file and try to start is I get an error saying
"The file archive part of Adobe Photoshop CS5 is missing, You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Photoshop CS5. Please download all parts "
But this file from the prodesigner site is only 1.2 MB in size. the full download never starts. _ I've read this http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/start-installer-downloading.html but nothing helps.

Fonts missing in Photoshop CS5

I have many DVD case templates I created with Photoshop CS2. I now have Photoshop CS5. I am opening these DVD case templates with PS CS5. There have been several instances where the fonts I used in CS2 is not available in CS5. Is it possible for me to import these fonts into PS CS5? If so, how?
Thanks,
Angela

One follow-up question concerning the "missing fonts" issue.....
With Photoshop CS5, if the font is missing the program will alert you. Because of these alerts, I was able to determine which fonts were missing in my Photoshop projects and install the missing fonts.
Unfortunately, Premiere Pro CS5 will use the "next best" font if a font is missing. Therefore, I was trying to determine which fonts were "incorrect" within my APP CS5 projects and install the missing fonts accordingly.
My question.....I have approx 360 fonts from my XP computer. Would there be any harm in installing all of these fonts on my Windows 7 computer, to make sure I cover my bases? Currently, there are approx 300 fonts on my Windows 7 computer.
I have verified that if I try to install a font that is currently on my Windows 7 computer, I will get a prompt asking if I want to replace the existing font. Obviously in this case, I would not replace an Windows 7 font with a Windows XP font.
Take care,
Angela

Replace missing font with font of my choice in Photoshop CS5

I'm using Photoshop CS5. How can I replace all instances of a missing font with a font of my choice?

I am having the same problem. From what I read around the web, there is supposed to be a dialogue box which opens to ask which font you want to use. I don't get a dalogue box, it simply replaces the missing fonts automatically with Myriad Pro without asking which font I want to use. If anyone knows how to get the dialogue box to appear, I'd appreciate the help.
I am using CC.
Thanks!

Photoshop CS5 installation error "Archive part missing"

Photoshop CS5 download consists of two files: one is .exe and the other is .7z. I downloaded both but when I try to run the .exe file it gives the error message "Archive part missing." The archive is present and is in the same directory as the .exe file. I have successfully installed this software several times before without error messages. I am reinstalling it on my laptop after upgrading from WinXP to Win7 (and I did properly deactivate Photoshop before formatting the laptop's hard disk.) I have read the kb article at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/start-installer-downloading.html and it didn't help. Now what?

Liquify missing on Photoshop CS5. How do I get it back?

I've been using Liquify for a long time in Photoshop CS5, Version 12.0.4 x64 and it is no longer available.
I need it. My computer: Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I called Customer Service at Photoshop and they could not help.

Kelly, You have been of great help.
I decided to reinstall Photoshop CS5, and Liquify is available.
Now I got a new problem: the version of Photoshop is 12.0. Therefore, I am missing the upgrades. I wonder where can I get the upgrades?

Why is there a missing font called "Ben Pioneer" when it is installed on my pc and works perfectly well with photoshop CS5?

Yes the font works fine with Photoshop and office been using it for years.
Illustrator is a lot more pickier about fonts than those two. And Freefonts are known to get into trouble with Illustrator.
From what I can see on Dafont the font isn't a bitmap font.
Do you use font management? Try installing the font without font management.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 shows a missing Application manager on Lenovo 64 bit tower

I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a Windows XP 64 bit Lenovo tower. When I attempt to open Adobe Photoshop CS5 in 64 but mode I get an error that says it can't find the Adobe Application Manager. I tried to look this error up and I found a site that referenced the 64 bit Adobe Photoshop CS5 was looking for the 32 bit version of Adobe Application Manager. When I look in my application folders, I can see the 64 bit Adobe Application Manager, but not the 32 bit version. The 64 bit Enterprise version of AAM runs, but Photoshop CS5 will still not start. I tried force starting the AAM and according to task manager it runs for a few seconds then shuts down. In addition, I've checked the Services control panel and the only Adobe product that appears there is called Adobe Switchboard. I am in desperate need to get this working. Any ideas?

Hey photogal! I am experiencing the exact same problem as you on the same device. Hopefully a more seasoned member of the community can help us.

How do I resolve issues with missing layers when opening a Tiff file from Photoshop CS5.1?

I am downloading Tiff images from a partners website. After extracting the file and opening from Photoshop CS5.1 it's only displaying one of the original image layers. For example and image with two guys shaking hands in an office is only opening the clipped two guys and not showing the backgroud. The vendor says the files open fine on their end which leads me to believe its a download or photoshop issue. Any recommendations?

Thanks Curt... I don't think my explanation was clear. I'm downloading an image from an external webiste. The image downloads in a ZIP archive. After extracting from the Zip file, I go into photoshop and do file open. Only part of the image appears. It looks as if it's the top layer of a photoshop image but since I didn't build the image, I'm not certain it was built with multiple layers. Any ideas?

Adobe Photoshop CS5 3D Menu missing, need solution ASAP

I recently made a 3D Wallpaper and when im gonna make one again the 3D menu is gone. I don't know if it is because of update or something, but when i searched for an answer or a solution in Google, i've found multiple comments regarding the license or the video card but i don't think both of that are the problem because like i said i just recently made a wallpaper using 3D. Here are some images that can show you my problem.
Here's the 3D Wallpaper that i made using Adobe Photoshop CS5...
Here's the image of my problem...
Need your help ASAP Adobe Support Team, thanks!

Your situation can happen if you had downloaded the PS CS5 trial (which is Extended) then activated it, finally, but had only purchased Standard, so the Extended features were deactivated.
A video card or memory issue would cause the 3D menu to gray out, but not disappear entirely. Not having extended, now, when you used to is more a licensing issue. Have you purchased PS CS5 Extended from Adobe? Licensing issues are best sorted out via a call to Adobe support, which can be a lesson in patience.

Wind.8bf file missing from trial version photoshop cs5?

I am trying to learn a specific text effect and the tutorial uses the "wind" filter in photoshop. I am currently using a trial version of PS cs5, and have been able to use all features so far... has the wind filter been ommitted from the trial version? Also, I downloaded an older version of the Wind.8bf file and located it within the correct /plugin/filters/ folder, but PS still does not recognize it.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
thanks,
Neil

Did you look in Filter - Stylize - Wind?
It only works on pixel-based layers. Is the tutorial based on an older version of Photoshop, or have they done something to the text to rasterize it into pixels?
If I recall correctly, the Wind filter is provided in Photoshop CS5 as part of a single plug-in file that provides a whole bunch of filters. I believe they did this to help speed up the startup, as Photoshop doesn't have to enumerate so many plug-ins this way.
Generally speaking, you should not put the separate 8bf file from another version of Photoshop into the folder tree for the current version, and in fact this can break things. Remember to remove the file you put in place.

Photoshop CS5 missing features???

OK I downloaded the trial of CS5 and installed it. The install went fine. But when I try to open some of my Canon RAW files some strange things I notice.
I opened an old Canon 400D RAW file and it opened fine in Adobe camera RAW. But none of the new lens correction profile options are available.
I opened a new Canon 550D RAW file and Photoshop CS5 just told me that it was a none supported file formate. But thats crazy as this same file opened fine in Adobe camera RAW 5.7. So whats going on?
I installed this trial on a Windows XP 32bit machine. Please help if you can.
