Photoshop cs5 liquify filter shows no effect until after clicking OK

I"m using photoshop cs5 and the liquify filter dosen't show any effect until after I've clicked ok. I've checked, and unchecked "show backdrop" and the opacity is set to 100%. I'm stumped.

I solved my own problem. I reset my preferences by closing photoshop, then re-starting the program while holding ctrl-alt-shift. I then unchecked "show backdrop."

Photoshop CS5 edits not showing in Lightroom

Experiencing strange behavior and would appreciate any advice...
Am editing .CR2 files, then doing Edit in > Photoshop CS5 > Edit with Lightroom Adjustments and "Stack with Original". All goes fine until I save and the new image is now displayed in LR. If I want to do a subsequent edit to the now-stacked .psd file, using Edit in > Photoshop CS5 > Edit Original, then saving, those edits are not showing up in Lightroom. Strangest is that if I then do Edit in > Photoshop CS5 > Edit Original to the file again, my edits are there in Photoshop.
I think this is an issue with Lightroom updating / syncing its preview (I'm looking at these in both Grid and Loupe) so that I can't see the latest version of what I edited. Also, sometimes I can get it to update by changing zoom levels and having LR go back to re-recreate the preview (I assume). I have also seen this behavior (it's more obvious in this case) when doing B&W conversions and the preview keeps flipping back and forth from color to B&W.
I assume this is a bug, but is there any way to force the previews to update as a workaround? Don't really use the print module, but changes also appear to not be reflected in the Web module, so concerned about what my output will look like.
Thanks.

Well, just found one solution... Library > Previews > Discard 1:1 previews and then zooming in on each photo in the Library (Loupe) forced the update. This needs to get fixed!!

Why doesn't Photoshop CS5 automatically scale strokes and effects?

I am looking everywhere for why Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically scale strokes and effects. I could've sworn there was a preference in CS4 but there's nothing resembling this in CS5. Driving me crazy!
Whenever I do a Free Transform, the effects are completely out of whack and force me to waste time resetting them individually, layer by layer. I used to be able to grab any object or group of objects, do a transformation and Photoshop automatically recalculated. If anyone has a tip on how to avoid the annoyance of having to go layer by layer and forcibly adjusting that would be great.

Layer style effect setting are in absolute pixel size values so if you change the scale of a layer the style size remains the same. You can edit the layers style effects after tou do a transform on the layer and change the absolute setting. If the layer has been rastersized or flattened you can not. I have request that Adobe add support for relative settings like inches, cm, mm etc which is relative to the documents dpi resolution. This would be very helpful for recording actions.
However photoshop can scale existing layer style for you when you use Image Size there is a check box. If you need to scale a single layer and have its style scaled you need to do it in a round about way. Convert the layer to a smart object. Then instead of using transform double click on the layser smart object icon in the layers palette. Photoshop will open that layer embedded smart object in Photoshop for you to work on it.. Use Image Size to resize the layer up or down in size and check resample constrain and the scale style check box. Then use menu File>Save. Photoshop will then update the embedded smart object in the smart object layer and you can close the document Photoshop opened for you to work on the smart object.

Liquify Filter shows transparency instead of increasing/decreasing the object

I have been watching a tutorial concerning the Liquify Filter and have followed all the steps, but apparently I am not doing it correctly.
I did turn my layers into a smart object, but when I use the pucker/bloat tool on an eye for example, it only creates the transparency of the picture.
Strangely enough, I can use all the other tools without having any problems.
Does someone knows how to fix this problem?
Thank you in advance for your replies!

Hi All,
Here are the steps i did for the currency conversion.
1. Created the conversion type.
2. Exchange rate type -> M
3. Selected Dynamic exchange rate
4. In the currency tab selected source currency from data records.
5. Target currency i selected Target currency from variable.
6. Variable is the one created on the 0CURRENCY object.
7. Time reference is the exact day and 0CALDAY is selected in it.
8. In the query, created a calculated key figure and assigned this conversion type to the CKF.
9. I have just dragged the 0CURRENCY in the row.
10. For currency in the Advanced tab in query i selected master data option for the filter.
When the query executes, it asks for the value of this variable.
When i select the F4, it should show me all the currency values, but it shows me only INR. In the search if i give EUR manually then it takes EUR but doesnt show me in the list.
Is there any step that i have missed out pls.
Regards,
Charu

Photoshop CS5 32 bit icon doesn't display after installing program

Hi all -
I just installed Photoshop CS5 onto a new system build which uses the new AMD Phenom 2 Black 6 core/64 bit processor - along with Windows 7 64 bit OS.
For some reason, the Photoshop 64 bit version displays the Photoshop icon under "PROGRAMS".... but the 32 bit version does not....
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the PS CS5 program 4 times - and it's always the same.
Can you help me get my icon back? The program works, but I'd like to see the visual cue of the icon.
Here is what I am getting (not getting): Notice the Adobe Photoshop CS5 (32 bit) icon under the 64 bit icon shows a 'blank' icon.....
Thanks for your help

Thanks for reporting how you got the icon back to the proper display.
I would find that initial failure to show the icon disconcerting, though, in that unexpected things really aren't supposed to happen like that during an install. I assume you saw no errors during the installation.
I'd watch carefully for any problems with the 32 bit version not running properly. If it didn't get the icon right, it's not clear whether that's the only problem.

Photoshop CC - Liquify filter does not show all tools. Freeze is missing.

The freeze tool is not pictured on the left with the other tools. I can access freeze by pressing the "F" key, but there is no way to unfreeze since that tool is missing as well. Any ideas how to fix this? Only seven tools are seen now.

Hello!
Freeze is not available if you do not check "advanced mode" on the right column.
If you prefer to work in the non advanced work, the unfreeze, Thaw Mask tool's shortcut is "D", or, once you've selected the Freeze tool by its shortcut, hold down ALT.

Photoshop cs5 lighting filter

Avec la version cs5, je n'ai plus l'effet éclairage dans Filtre>rendu.. où est-ce que je pourrai télécharger ce filtre ou est-ce qu'il y aurait une sorte de remplaçant à ce filtre dans la version cs5?

Hi,
…Do not have the checkbox above "Locked" that says "Open in 32 bit". Mine says "Shared Folder."
China,
It sounds like you are selecting the Photoshop folder in the Finder. You need to highlight the Photoshop application icon, not the folder that contains it.

It is. Absolutely identical, except for the price.

Bridge shows an image 72 ppi, but when I open the same image in Photoshop (CS5) it is showing 96 ppi???

Just reloaded Windows 7 last week, and reinstalled CS5. I don't remember this happening before the reinstall. Is there a setting I am missing?
Thanks in advance!

What this is telling you is the ppi value is missing from the metadata. Because it is in the metadata there is nothing to worry about. It can be added at any time with photoshop.
1)Open the image in Photoshop
2)Image>Image Size
3)Type in the correct ppi
4)click OK
5)Save file to disk File>Save or if you prefer to use another name to protect the original use File>Save As then type in a name and click OK.
The main information to protect is the pixel dimensions that pertains to the data it self. If these values change so does the data. To protect the pixel dimensions uncheck resample image if it is checked in the Image Size dialog box.

Help! My copy of CS5 won't show lighting effects, and changing it to 32 bit mode does nothing

Hi guys,
I have a copy of CS 5.1 and my system is a Macbook Pro on Mac OS 10.6.8
I want to use lighting effects, so I changed it to 32 bit mode. So I go in to Photoshop and it's not there. I reset PS's settings, restart the computer as well. Still nothing.
Wah. It worked before in the past, so why not now? Also I checked the plugin folder to make sure the lighting effect plugin was actually there and, yes it was. So what gives?
Anyway, any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated, thankyou
Jan

Ok this is the render menu in 32 bit mode. Annndddd...
I noticed there is still the 'x64' beneath CS' title... is that supposed to be there when you boot in 32 bit mode? Or could it be that my CS just isn't loading in 32 bit?
Anyway thanks for replying!

Photoshop CS5.5 not showing correct amount of RAM

I have a PC with 3.25 MB of memory. I recently purchased the Creative Suite CS5.5. I was modifying my Preference when I noticed on the Performance Tab, under Memory Usage, it says:
Available RAM 1569
Ideal Range: 863 - 1129
Let Photoshop Use: 941 MB
Anyone know why Photoshop is only seeing 1/2 of my memory?

Thanks for the explanation Chris and Sabastian. I appreciate you taking the time to provide a good explanation.
Mylenium, you have a way with words. Guess you have the gift of encouragement. I did see the "Available Memory" but I read it as that's how much physical memory Photoshop was seeing on my computer, not the amount of memory that was unused at the moment.
I'm pretty sleep deprived as of late so I know my brain's "Available Memory" is running low and not running to it's fullest capacity.

Psd (from photoshop cs5) layers not showing correctly

When importing a psd into Fireworks (cs5 - 11.0.1.7), I'm seeing layers visible that were hidden on the photoshop view of the same psd. Also, some of the gradients and brushes aren't be imported properly. Would it make sense to save the psd down to something like cs4 compatible before saving it for import to fireworks?

Well, just found one solution... Library > Previews > Discard 1:1 previews and then zooming in on each photo in the Library (Loupe) forced the update. This needs to get fixed!!

Photoshop CS5 32bit No HDR Pro dialog box after merge

Hi
I wanted to merge 3 photos using the HDR fucnction in PS CS5. Everything seems to work perfectly, I select the files and they seem to merge but at the end when the dialog box should pop up and allow me to make adjustments it just closes down. not Photoshop... but the window with whatever it is doing and leaves me with a blank normal PS screen as if I just opened up photoshop. The dialog box never appears. I tried the 64bit version and it does work normally but the 32 bit version does not. I removes any plug-ins I put there and removed my extra actions / plug-ins folder and restarted Photoshop each time but nothing made the dialog box work.
Any suggestions?

Hi Mike, you have me at a loss. I assume we've corresponded in the past.
I'm sorry that I can't think of another thing to tweak in this case to see if you can get it to work. I assume you've let it run a long time.
Do you see any errors in your Windows System or Application Event Logs that might yield more info?

Inbox Doesn't Show New Mail Until I Click Out of Inbox and Click Back In

Hello, I originally posted this in the Microsoft Community, but I was told to post here instead. HELP!!! Nobody I know seems to have an answer for this.
I have Outlook 2010 connected to Exchange (work email). Whenever I get new mail, I have to click out of the Inbox and then click back in, in order to see and open my new mail. I do receive the pop-up notification in the lower right hand corner, and
I receive the "(1)" notification next to "Inbox" on the left side menu (that's how I know when I have new mail), but no actual email shows in the Reading/Window Pane. It's like I have to refresh my Inbox.
The problem does not exist with any of my Inbox subfolders - only the Inbox itself.
When I had my department help desk remote in, the problem ceased (making me sound crazy), but when the technician logged off remote access, boom, the problem was back.
I've searched the internet, contacted my help desk multiple times, and deleted and re-created my Outlook profile, but nothing has worked so far.
Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated, as this problem is a pain!

Hi,
Please check whether you can see the items in your Inbox using Online mode or Outlook Web Access or Outlook Web App (OWA). If you just cannot see them in your Cached mode profile, please start Outlook using the following command-line (Click
Start and then click Run) to have a try:
Outlook.exe /cleanips

If it doesn’t work, please change a new computer to have a try.
