Photoshop CS5 Hangs on Layer Group name edits

Layer Group name edits are causing my PS CS5 to hang repeatedly. At first I thought it was the document I was working in, so I created a generic document, and was able to replicate the problem in the new document.
With a .psd open, in the layers pallete, I have a Layer Group (A) that contains multiple sub layer groups (B) which contain additional sub layer groups (C). So the hierarchy is a three level layer group. At the sub-most layer group (C) I need to rename the groups to "Three-set colors". Since I have fifteen groups that all need the word "Three" in their labels, it would be most convenient to be able to highlight the word "Three", copy to clipboard and paste. I type in the word "Three" in the layer group name (not in the properties insector) and highlight the word "Three". Thats when PS CS5 hangs, and I have to reboot my system to unfreeze Photoshop. Only Photoshop hangs, the system does not crash. This happens in both 64 and 32 bit, old or new docs.
The plugins I have are Mask Pro x64 (OnOne) and Sitegrinder x32 (Medialab), but they are not activated when the hang occurs.
Any ideas?
PS CS5 12.01 x64
Win 7 Ultimate
12 gb ram
i7 960 @ 320
ATI Radeon HD 5700
4x HD's

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with either Photoshop CS5 32 bit or x64. That says there's something different about our systems, and that there's likely not a systemic problem in Photoshop.
Chris Cox, who replied above, is an Adobe Engineer, by the way.
I was able to replace parts or all of the names with, or insert the word Three in front of existing layer names.
Are you seeing any errors in your Windows system logs at the time the hang is occurring?
Have you updated all your software (e.g., video drivers, Windows Updates, etc.)?

Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!

In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
Creative Suite 6
Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR

Photoshop cs5 hangs on launch when loading brushes

Photoshop cs5 hangs on launch when loading brushes. I have to do a hard reboot and reset the preferences. In the past 2 days I have had to do this 3 times. I have the latest drivers. below is my hardware. I am also running lightroom. I did not have this issue until after I installed the latest updates from the adobe website. Does anyone have any information on a fix for this problem Thank You for your time.
Nancy Cuppy

That's interesting...and troublesome.
I did some research on it this morning and found it was happening dell computers (maybe because there are lots of Dells!) and there is no one answer, as there is no common connections.
Have you rebooted again after the f8>last known...step? Does it boot ok? One problem is that check disk did not clear after running and there is a fix for that.
Did your computer come with Win7 installed? If so, I would contact that computer's support and see what they say.
That it started ok in "last known" is apparently unique as I found no reference to that. Normally one goes to Safe Mode and see if it starts ok, and if it does, then steps to clear the restart problem can be implemented.
The fact that no problems showed up at the first check is a good sign.
I hesitate to offer any other solutions as there are several, including actual Registry mods but that I wouldn't do.
Perhaps others here who experienced this as well could jump in.

Photoshop Actions: Problem with layer groups

I have recorded several photoshop actions with multiple adjustment layers in layer groups. They work perfectly fine, as long as I do not run a second action with a layer group in it.
As soon as I run a second action with layer groups, the layer order is completely random and messed up. How can I avoid this problem?

Photoshop Motion Workspace Import Layer/Group

Rather than having hundreds of layers in a movie file, I want to edit (rough trim, sound whatever), save or copy those sections or chapters as separate files, then import those edited video groups (even if it is flattened as a dot PSD file) into the separate overall movie file timeline for final arranging and editing.
Obviously one cant just Ctrl C, Ctrl V a layer or group because that copies and dumps the original raw clip not the edited clip, into the time line.
There's probably a simple answer but I cant manage to import a dot PSD file to another file. All I can do is render a file to video, which means selecting codecs and output settings, then import that file. Gets pretty unwieldy.
Does anyone have any tips. Im on Photoshop whatever they are calling the monthy renter, and its fine for what I am doing. I don't have premier pro.
Thanks

Just in case anyone has the same enquiry, and apologies Im only new to this.
Edit your clips and and file save to a selected folder you can easily keep track of. Photoshop will assign the file save a .psd (which is the default working format it converts to when it reads your camera file into photoshop) If you want to further edit later leave the default "Layers" ticked in your save routine.
When you want to bring your clips into your movie timeline, save the edited clips (as copies, whatever) but untick "layers" in the save dialogue box and this will flatten the .psd clip file.
In your movie file its probably safest to create a new video group/ add media/ select your folder and check "all formats". In mine, "all formats" is last in the list and for some strange reason is hidden off the bottom of the page. It is there, if you cant see it, select any format half way down the roll out, then select your format again and the list will read down from that last selection to reveal "All Formats"
You can safely edit all your camera clips and then bring them into your movie without first rendering them out to a video format and wasting hours of time. Photoshop isn't stupid.
Before I mentioned flattening the edited clips, if you forget to untick "layers" on saving your edited clip, it will still import the unflattened .psd clip without showing the layers in the layers panel, and you will be able to see and play it. But as soon as you touch it, you will get an error message and it will vanish.

Photoshop cs5 weird move layer problem

I updated my Photoshop to 12.0.4 and having problem when I try to move a layer with mouse even I disable 'snap'. There is no problem if I try to move with keyboard. DO you have any idea how to fix this problem? I tried to show my problem in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn2lYNl59bI

This gets complaned about frequently. There's a long thread some pages back about the frozen move tool. I suffer from it too, requiring a restart.
For some it was related to a keystroke program (iCopy, if I recall), but others get it regardless. Probably PS incompatability with input drivers, or such.
Edit: this is the thread I referred to:

Why does photoshop (cs5) 'hang/stall' when saving as jpeg?

i've been noticing that the program has seemed to run slower than it was a few months ago - taking longer to load up, buttons being unresponsive for a few seconds, etc. recently i noticed if i'm saving my psd file as a jpeg it will 'hang' for several seconds with the "ok" button greyed out. after several seconds it will turn blue but when i click it, it acts unresponsive but after a few more seconds it saves the document. but there's no click animation or whatever you might call it.
like i said it just recently started running generally slower.. laggier.
if anyone has any clues or advice, it would be much appreciated.

While you're interacting with the Save As dialog, you're really working with Windows Explorer, rather than with Photoshop. The dialog is part of the OS.
I suggest that you must have installed a Shell Extension that's somehow causing stalls or failures behind the scenes.
A great freeware program you can use to both enumerate and ultimately disable Shell Extensions you don't want running is the Shell Extensions Manager by Nir Sofer:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
An effective strategy, if a bit time consuming, is to disable non-Microsoft plug-ins one at a time, followed by a logout and login, then test. Once you've disabled the one that's causing the problem you should see your Explorer dialogs speed up.
Good luck.

Photoshop CS5 channels and layer locking

Is it possible to have the RGB, Red, Green, Blue and Alpha 1 channels active and lock the background layer so it can not be moved?

If the channels (RGB, Red, Green, Blue and Alpha 1) can be locked so they can still be edited but not moved that should work.
I am able to move my image around the canvas area once the Alpha 1 channel is activated. The following are the steps I take, hopefully you can recreate.
File, Open - tif image, RGB color, 8-bits/channel
Select the Channels tab, RGB, Red, Green, and Blue channels are already activated. Alpha 1 channel is available but not active. Shift + left click Alpha 1 channel to activate, left click eye to turn off visibility.
Select Layers tab, select move tool, click on image and move.
If I turn the background to a layer I am able to lock it but then I'm not able to activate all of the channels, RGB, Red, Green, Blue and Alpha 1 channels together.
If I turn off the Alpha 1 channel the background layer does become locked.
The tif image is geo-referenced and needs to be locked to prevent it from being moved.

Photoshop CS5 hangs when accessing File Info.. - Mac

This happened with both Leopard and Snow Leopard and CS2 works fine. I tried Adobe Support, searched forums, uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted Preferences, removed all third-party Plug-ins and program files are up-to-date. I'd like to upgrade to Mountain Lion but if I need File Info I use CS2 which will cease to work with Mountain Lion. Has anyone else definitively cured this anomoly if they had it?

That is normal that the Red X in the top left is not available (that only the Green + button is there). You need to close the File Info window using the OK or Cancel buttons in the lower right.
Are you able to type anything into any of the fields of File Info? What about in a new, blank file?

Photoshop CS5 x64 crashing while editing layer styles

Hey there,
I searched and seeked through the whole interweb, but hardly anyone seems to have ever had such a problem, so I am guessing this is the right place to ask and hopefully be helped . Short version is: Photoshop CS5 (x64) is constantly crashing when editing a layer style.
I recently installed my CS5 Design Premium on a new laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook AH351) and am having severe problems with Photoshop CS5. On first run everything was fine, and it kept that way for a while. Now everytime I try to edit a layer style Photoshop crashes immediately. I do not need to alter anything, just open the layer style, press OK and Photoshop is gone. I can workaround by resetting preferences which works until next reboot, no matter if I change ANYTHING on the settings or not. Had tried this on the initial PS release and on the latest update (12.0.4). Once I reset settings again, I can work on layer styles again. Did anyone of you have a similar problem or a hint at what I might look?
The Lifebook has a decent feature which I suspect to somehow be the culprit of this case: it has an onboard graphics unit and a separate GPU (nVidia GForce GT 525M) which can be added in on a program-to-program basis. Photoshop indeed recognizes it and lets me activate OpenGL features as well, so from that point it seems fine. The internal GPU cannot be disabled since you connect your monitors to it.
Some data about my system:
Fujitsu Lifebook AH531
Intel® Core™ i5-2410M
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz
750 GB SATA HDD 5400 U/Min
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (up to date)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M with 1GB VRAM
Photoshop CS5 x64
no plugins in use/installed
no settings changed, not even shortcuts
Thanks in advance

Funny replying to myself repeatedly. It seems I have found the problem with no solution in sight. My findings are as follows:
I am running two external monitors on my laptop (HDMI and VGA), the laptop screen is off. If I unplug one screen, Photoshop is fine with me. No crashes.
In nVidia settings you can choose what GPU is being used for specific programs. Changing it to the internal one, Photoshop is fine with me. No crashes. Crappy performance.
I came to the idea of it having to do with dual monitors in my long way through help forums, and one thread here (on problems with 4 monitors) suggested to disable the ScriptingSupport.8li via re-naming which didn't work for me nonetheless. Now it seems up to me whether I'd love to farewell either my powerful GPU or my second monitor for working with Photoshop.
Still, does anybody have a notion of what else I could possibly do? I won't assume Fujitsu to offer a fix for this, since it is hard to track down precisely where the problem comes from.
All the best
enoversum
Edit: BTW, Windows settings confirm both screens are handled by/connected to the internal GPU, no matter what Photoshop is using ultimately. That seems like normal behaviour, and I cannot switch since the two ports are on the internal card.

LR5 Spot Removals disappear when choosing "Edit in... Photoshop CS5"

This is quite frustrating. I go over my photo and remove dust specs in LR5, then choose to edit the image further in Photoshop CS5 (Right click or Cmd+E -> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5). When the photo opens in Photoshop all the Spot Removals I have done are *gone*! I can not say I have noticed this before, and I have been using LR5 since it became available. But now nothing helps - It keeps doing this, no matter how many times I close PS and LR and re-open. Spot Removal just keeps getting reset when I wanna edit a photo in Photoshop.
I shot a video of it, which can be viewed or downloaded here: http://cl.ly/280R2p09341u
Hope this gets fixed soon, or someone can provide some tips. Incredibly annoying...
I'm on an iMac 2013, OS X 10.8.4.
Photoshop CS5, Version 12.0.4 x64
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, Version 5.0

LR 5 is using the equivalent of ACR 8.1 and in Photoshop CS5 the latest ACR version is ACR 6.7 so they are nt 100% compatible. You should be getting a pop up warning dialog. You need to choose render using Lightroom (or words to that effect). If you do not see any warning dialog you may have disabled it.
In Lightroom 5 go to menu bar Edit> Prefrences> General tab> under prompts at the bottom of the dialog box select "Reset all warning dialogs"
Try again and you should get the option to make the correct choice. Do not choose "Open anyway"

Photoshop cs5 is not appending file extensions

in previous versions, photoshop appended to the file extension in the fiel save/save as dialog box. it no longer does this and when you save a file it does not append the file extension to the file name, resulting in unknown fiel type.
i am running windows 7 64-bit with photoshp cs5.
it does not make any since to have the option of appending the file extension if the program is not going to do it.

The operating system has no problems with the filenames ... it is Photoshop that is not handling the names correctly.
Just tried this out on my Windows 7 64 bit system, and I get the same results using Photoshop.
When I save a file in Photoshop CS5 64 bit with the name 047. Crayon - Abstract the file is saved as 047. Crayon - Abstract without a file extension, no matter what document type I select in the drop-down.
In Word I get the expected result:
When I save a file in Word with the name 047. Crayon - Abstract the extension is automatically added (047. Crayon - Abstract.docx)

Changes to Photoshop CS5 and Applescript

Looks like there are some major Applescript changes to CS5, which is unwelcome for anyone with existing scripts. From what I can see, the difference (that affect me anyway) are
a) PSCS5 seems to dislike referring to files with "as alias" and removing this from my scripts helps them to work, whereas other apps need it, as did previous
b) apparently script support for referring to the currently document has changed. "if visible layer of current document is true then..." no longer works, nor do document 0, document 1, etc. Anyone know how to refer to the current document?
c) support for history doesn't seem to be there anymore. I cannot seem to use AS commands like, "set myState to history states as list" or "set current history state to history state newState" were awesome for my workflow, but are they impossible to achieve now?
d) One more. The important "set docref to make new document with properties {height: 150, width: 150}" is also broken. How would one make a new document in Applescript?
I'd appreciate any help you could give me in updating my scripts

I just found the AppleScript documentation in /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Scripting/Documents/. But I don't think it's even accurate. Here's a very simple sample they give:
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
filter current layer of the current document using lens blur with options {class:lens blur, radius:13}
end tell
If I enter this in AppleScript Editor and try to compile it, it selects the word "current" and tells me "Expected end of line but found identifier." It doesn't even recognize "filter" as a command. If I just change that 5 to a 4, it works fine in CS4.
Here's one way to run a JavaScript file from AppleScript:
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5" to open file "Path:to:file.jsx"
Of course there's no way to pass any arguments this way, so that greatly limits its usefulness. But perhaps this will be helpful to some people. I'm assuming the JavaScript stuff all works fine, as that seems to be their focus these days.
The really strange thing is that certain things seem to work fine in AppleScripts that are already compiled (using CS4). But if I try to re-save those scripts with CS5 installed, I get errors.

IPhoto doesn't recognize Photoshop CS5.1

How do I get iPhoto (version 9.4.2 running under Mountain Lion on 24" iMac), to recognize Photoshop CS5.1 as a choice for editing photos in iPhoto preferences? After upgrading my Mac to Mountain Lion and upgrading to the latest iPhoto (from Snow Leopard), It is still showing only iPhoto and Photoshop CS4 as the only options for editing. Most of the time I prefer to use iPhotos tools, but occasionally there is a task that Photoshop is better suited for and I would prefer to use the latest version which I recently installed. (Photoshop CS4 is still in my Applications Folder, but so is CS5.1)

As soon as I posted the question above, several answers were available under "More Like This". Two of them SOLVED MY QUESTION, even though my previous searches revealed no similar problems.
Thanks. I have my answer.

Opening Lightroom images in photoshop cs5 ACR

Is there any way to edit Lightroom 3.0 images in Photoshop Cs5 ACR? If I choose Edit in Photoshop the image goes directly to photoshop and bypasses ACR. I have tried creating an ACR option in Preferences but cant find the ACR file. Can anyone help?

No...and there is no reason to do so. Lightroom and Camera Raw share the exact same processing pipeline–assuming you are using the same rev version. The only way to take a raw image into Photoshop and use the Camera Raw dlog is to open as a Smart Object which will give you the SO version of Camera Raw inside the Photoshop document.
