Photoshop CS5 export layer comps bug / issue

I'm experiencing a problem with CS5 that didn't happen in CS4. For some weird reason, when I use the export layer comps script, it won't let me choose a destination for the jpgs that is the macintosh HD. It will only work if I export to an external drive. The error message I get is 'destination does not exist'
I am on snow leopard and have repaired my permissions. For now I get around the problem by exporting to an external drive, but this seems like a weird issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tom

my setup is very easy,
go > connect to server
choose the SMB share > connect
select the volumes that you want...
I had mounted the volume by placing it into my login startup but since the problem with PS I have removed this ( the good news is that this is how I was able to find this bug). Either way, via the login startup item or the method above creates the problem.
If you follow the link below to locate the user "speeves1" he has much more insight into the Windows thing than I do, I'm just a rule follower when it comes to networking windows computers.

> I can't share specifics of what we have planned, but we are looking into these issues.
I understand you can't announce future things, no problem. Because of an earlier conversation about Adobe restricted to adding new features after the first quarter of a release, I was curious if the same rulings committee (FASB) has any guidelines for bug fixes. CS4 had one fix within the first quarter and the second patch came after the product cycle ended and CS5 shipped. In general is there any restriction to releasing patches/fixes after the first quarter?
thanks.

Exporting Layer Comps to Files

I am trying to Export Layer comps to file to make a pdf of a 38 page document.
When try to export to jpg or png the files are too small, even on the highest setting.
When I try to export to tiff or psd, it doesn't flatten the files and gives me files just as large as the master file.
When I try to export to pdf it creates very large files, that do not seem high quality.
Are there any more options or perhaps an additional script for exporting layer comps to files?
Thanks

Which OS and version of Photoshop I see that CS5 ships with a script named "Layer Comps To Files.jsx"
And CS6 ships with that one and one named "Layer Comps To PDF.jsx"
Have never use them myself

How do you remove the number sequence when exporting layer comps to files? CS6. Windows 8.

Hi
I remember in CS5 there was a script you could change, but I can't remember what it was called or where it was saved. Can anyone help please?
I would like to stop Photoshop automatically adding a number prefix to exported layer comps.
Thanks

So I've found a bit in the script that I think might be it (below). Can I remove that whole bit? Or would changing the 4 to a 0 do the trick (I tried and it didn't do anything)... Sorry, but I'm not a coder so don't really know if I'm barking up the wrong tree or not.
Thanks

BUG: FatalError when exporting layer comps to pdf file in PhotoShop CS6

I've been starting to use the File -> Scripts -> Layer Comps to... frequently--it is great for sharing files with clients.
When I used File -> Scripts -> Layer Comps to Files (type: pdf, "selected layer comps only" with about 6 of 12 comps selected) today I got the following error:
"FatalError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this verison of Photoshop. - <no additional information available>"
The only other notification I get for this document is a missing font upon opening, which I do not imagine would be a problem.
I am on the latest version of PhotoShop CS6 as confirmed by my CreativeCloud app.
My MacBook Pro is pretty generously outfitted and updated: OS 10.9 (latest update), 16GB RAM, over 100GB free HD space, 1GB VRAM.
I haven't had a chance to do repeated tests to get it to fail like this again as I'm on a deadline so I had it do the same process but exporting ALL layer comps and I removed the unwanted pages in Acrobat Pro.

So I've found a bit in the script that I think might be it (below). Can I remove that whole bit? Or would changing the 4 to a 0 do the trick (I tried and it didn't do anything)... Sorry, but I'm not a coder so don't really know if I'm barking up the wrong tree or not.

Photoshop CS5.1 brush scroll panel issue

Hello everyone,
Since last week I've been getting problems with photoshop. The brush panel has problems with scrolling, I have tried to fix it by doing a system restore, downgrading my video drivers and reinstalling photoshop. I also have tried to search for other people with the same problems. Unfortunatly, nobody seems to deal with this issue. I am suspecting that it is a problem within windows that is preventing photoshop from working normally... But I am not sure.
I also recorded the problem and posted it on youtube, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9LZgYjDGAI
Now, onto discribing the problem:
When I open photoshop this problem occurs right away, however... one panel always will work properly, this tends to switch constantly... When I try to switch between the two panels they start showing problems...
It happens every time that I open photoshop, but there are times where somehow, they work normally. It is very rare though.
I also tried to try and use Photoshop CS5 x64bit, but it crashes the moment it finishes loading.
I am using an: ASUS K73SV-TY081V notebook
OS:                     64-bit Windows 7 home premium
Processor:           Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz
RAM:                   4 GB
Graphics Card:     Nvidia Geforce GT 540M
Is there anybody who deals or has dealt with the same or similar problems?

Hello Noel,
Thank you for the help, It gave me an idea of how I could test it, so I switched the graphics to my omboard card and photoshop works fine now.
It is indeed the drivers of the Nvidia card, I tested the last two driver up-dates which didn't seem to work so I will keep looking.
Thank you again for the help!

Photoshop CS5 and HP Designjet Z6100ps issue

Trying to access the printer properties or trying to print to the Z6100 from within Photoshop CS5 on Windows 7 after already having done 1 print to the same printer previously will result in the error "Print failed because the requested printer does not exist.". The issue does not happen if you switch to another printer temporarily in between the prints but it's still very annoying. Anybody having the same issue or figured out a workaround?

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Photoshop CS5 Windows file server save issue

After Lion to Mountain Lion upgrade.
Cannot save or save as to Windows server. Due to "program error." Adobe Photoshop CS5. Can save as fine to local drive. Can also drag and drop in the Finder to this server.
This is Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 (current).
Once the error "could not save filename due to a program error" occurs, the file disappears from the Windows server.
I think it has something to due with the SMB connection.
All other CS5 apps (InDesign, Illustrator, etc.) "save" and "save as" fine. It is also fine performing the same procedure using Preview.

We're in 2015 and this is still an issue with the latest updates from Apple. Any one confirm that the save to network storage problem in Photoshop is gone with the newest version of Photoshop Creative Cloud?
Here's what's happening in our shop as of May, 2015 with both AFP and SMB server connections:
We are using Photoshop CS 5.1, Version 12.1 x64. I believe this is the most up to date version of our CS5.1 software.
We are on OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3.
When connected to the server via afp (in server log it says "AFP client")
Photoshop gives this error on a save after some changes are made to the file: "Could not save "file name" because write access was not granted." Then, as soon as you hit ok, the file is deleted from the server and is gone within a minute or so. If no change was made to the file, save works fine.
If you use "save as" and keep the same file name, it will usually fail with the same error as above. If you use save as and type in a new file name, all works fine.
If logged in via SMB (in the server log is says "CIFS client")
When you try to save, the error changes to "could not save "file name" because the file was not found." And then as soon as you hit OK on the error, the file is deleted from the server. Using Save As and inputing a different file name presented a new problem, it always says "could not save as "file name" because the file was not found." (in this case SMB seems to be worse than an AFP connection).
This is very frustrating and has been going on in the forums for over 3 years. Shared network environments are commonplace today. It seems to be centered around photoshop and OSX. All other software we use has been working fine with the server / network attached storage.
Thanks for any guidance. Sean

Photoshop CS5 strange brush jumping bug

Strange brush bug with Photoshop CS5 Extended English (Updated to 12.0.2 latest).
Youtube link of my screen recording
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxwUi35TMYo
When I first start (quick) brushing on top right, the strokes appear at bottom right.... No shape dynamics, no scattering, just plain soft round brush in black. If I stroke slowly, the behavior is OK.
This is very frustrating and appears very often for me if stroke quickly, so I can't use smudge which is often done quickly.
Windows 7 (Simplified Chinese). Nvidia GTS 450 but OpenGL has been disabled. Graphic driver updated to latest. No brush scattering, no shape dynamics.
Please help, thanks in advance.

This subject shows up here from time to time.
Unfortunately, I don't recall reading about any specific fix that works.
Usually the advice is update video drivers, check all other software running on the system for possible interference, change wireless mouse batteries, try a wired mouse, completely remove mouse or tablet drivers and reinstall, make sure nothing is moving over an unused trackpad, etc.
Perhaps it would help if you listed your OS and what input device you're using.

Adobe Photoshop Cs5 Merge to HDR Bug 15' MacbookPro

Hi,
When I use Merge to HDR Pro in photoshop CS5 on my 15 macbookpro I can't click 'ok' or 'cancel' as well as not being able to chose which photo I want to keep as a merge photo.
I saw some of the fixes but they didn't seem to work for me.
Any help would appreciated as I didn't expect this to be an issue for photoshop CS5.
Thanks, Chris.

I am trying to download the Photoshop CS5 Optional Plugins from the following Adobe website http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4688.
I'm using IE9 as my browser and opting to save the file to my desktop.
The downloaded file appears as follows on my desktop - PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US.zip.av6ac0u - whiich I'm unable to unzip and use. I am able to download other plug ins from the Adobe site. Is there an alternate page for downloading these files or some "trick" to downloading these particular plugins?

I'm a huge fan of the mouse myself, Noel. As a matter of fact that's what instantly drew me to the Lisa and the Mac initially, at a time when PCs were still at the command-line stage of MS-DOS and PC users were mocking and deriding menus and the mouse.
To this day I much prefer to do anything that can be done with the mouse and/or menus without having to clutter what's left of my withered brain with the learning of commands and key combos, and my considerably handicapped hands make me a lousy typist on account of arthritis and neuropathy anyway.
But aliases ("shortcuts") on the desktop are not necessary to launch applications or open documents. That's what The Dock is for on the Mac, which, as you can see in my screen shot above, I keep hidden below the bottom of the screen with all its icons until I bring my cursor down to hover over that area when I need it.
And I have double the logos you do.
Hehehe… I have plenty of those in reserve. We don't want to clutter this thread with more images than necessary.

Photoshop Script: Export Layer To File

Hi
I have set up an action to use "Export Layer To Files" to save out multipile jpg, and I have noticed the file compression is allot larger compared to the, Save for web option. Is there anyway I can use Export Layer To Files in an action, but then use the Save for web option to get better compression for the final file export?

The "Export Layer To Files" script seems to be a plugin script therefore it records the setting use in it dialog into an action step when recorded into an action. Thus when the action is played the "Export Layer To Files" script step will bypass displaying its "Export Layer To Files" dialog and use the setting it recorded into your action step. So you must have selected save jpeg and set a high quality jpeg setting in its dialog when you recorded the action. If you re-record the action step and uncheck include ICC profile and set a low jpeg quality setting. The jpeg files saved will be smaller in the future. The Jpeg quality setting influences how compression is done. Low quality setting loose more image quality than high settings but the output file size is smaller with lower values. Save for web you can reduce output size also by saving lower quality image additionally you can also strip all image meta-data and reduce the image size using interpolation.

Photoshop CS5 Adjustment Layer Icons

In PS CS5, the adjust-layer icons are generic and non-descriptive in the layer panel. Is this a bug?
Thanks

I have had this problem also in Photoshop CS3 on a mac, but only on some documents, and the generic icon saves with those files. Going back and applying the icon size fix cures the problem on those selected older files. But why was the "small" layer icon size used on those to begin with?
Thanks,

Photoshop Cs5, opengl, large files, performance issues.

Hello
I have fresh win7 64-bit install.
Also I have fully upgraded system, new cool whql drivers and my old file form Cs4.
Specs:
Intel D5400xs board
Dual quad xeons
8Gig ram
Nvidia 9800GT 512 Card (Maybe it's not a quadro or other fancy sh*, but like I saw earlier on forums,users have same problems with high-end cards like I with cheap chip)
Dedicated diskn'n'channel for scratch disk.
Wacom intuos 3
Clean system with no other software.
Fully supported opengl - ps says.
No artifacts.
And the problem is:
I have a file created in Cs4 [~300 small simple layers (website), ~50 smart-objects, and 9000x3000px72ppi]
Time to open file 30-40sec. Interaction with this file is very very slow.
Zooming hang-up ps for a 5-10sec.
Wich settings should I use for speed up Cs5?
Cs4 works much faster. I made that file in CS4 with no problems.
Grtz.

Ok, maybe I'm not a specialist, but I found the answer in my case.
Memory usage
Let photoshop Use: 70% (~5000MB)
Hisotry&Cache
History states: 69
Cache levels: 8
Cache tile size: 132K instead of 1024K (Here is turbo option ; )
GPU Settings
Advanced with vertical sync and anti-alias Guides and Path
Now -> Opening file 10s, no hang-up's, fast zooming and moving - really fast.
So if U have file like me, use settings described above.
If anybod has more info about performance please write about it.
