Photoshop CS5 moving object with exact measurement

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and to Photoshop. I'm picking things up pretty quickly but I have a small question, it's probably very simple.
I had a business cards designed few years ago and the designer gave me the .psd file. I need to get them printed again but want to make a small change. I need to move my logo 3mm upwards. I have my rulers set to millimetres, I can select the layer and move it without any problem but is there a way I can move it exactly 3mm?
I've been struggling with this for a while so any help will be greatly appreciated.
JattSurma!

Use Free Tranform
In the Option Bar, you will see fields for X and Y. There's also an icon near them that toggles absolute and relative position. Make sure you're using relative, and enter "3mm" in the Y field. If it moves in the wrong direction, undo and try again with "-3mm". You could also just enter "3", and select mm as the unit by right-clicking on the Y field.

Photoshop CS5-moving objects in 3D?

I just picked this program up and I already got it going, but I am not finding the tool to move objects in 3D--do I need to pick up the extend to add on- is my question?
Thanks in advanced.
Johnny.

Hi Johnny,
This particular forum is meant for the CS Review product. In the future, you will have better luck in posting to the right product forum. That notwithstanding, you need the Extended version of CS5 to get 3D capabilities.

How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D?

How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D? I don't want to by this product again and again...

In what way is ACR not working in Bridge? Is there no right-click Open in Camera Raw available from Bridge, or there is, but the ACR version is less than ACR 6.7.1 or what exactly is the issue?
Also, if you open Photoshop and do Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw, is ACR missing from the list, or if not, what version does it say is installed?
You might also want to describe what methods you have tried to correct the issue, since saying you've tried what you've seen posted and they didn't work, isn't really much to go on.

Photoshop CS5 not working with Lucida Grande Regular font

On my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz, I am running OS 10.6.7.
When using Photoshop CS5, if I try to use the font, Lucida Grande Regular, it causes an error.
"Could not use the type tool because of a program error."
When I try to open an existing file that has type layers that include the font Lucida Grande Regular, Photoshop will not open the file. I have several of these files that I want to use. I can open them on another Macintosh and everything works fine.
First I get a message window that says, " Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now?" I click on update and then get the following message. "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
I have updated Photoshop CS5 to the latest version, 12.0.4.
I have run the FontTest.jsx script and it shows an error for Lucida Grande Regular.
(IOError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
- <no additional information available>)
The other 100+ fonts on my machine did not create errors.
Since Lucida Grande Regular is an essential font for Mac OS X, I re-installed OS 10.6 in order to have a new version of Lucida Grande Regular. After that re-install I am having the same problems with the font not working in Photoshop.
It also does not work with Adobe InDesign CS5. The font does work in Microsoft Word.
The program Font Book verifies Lucida Grande Regular.
Other fonts including, Lucida Grande Bold, work fine in Photoshop and InDesign.
What can I do to get Photoshop CS5 to work with Lucida Grande Regular?

Wow, I'm so glad I found this thread. This problem has been dogging me for years, and it's so sporadic that I've been afraid of breathing the wrong way lest I somehow incur that diabolical Program Error dialog. I'd managed to reach a truce with Photoshop CS5, getting it into a barely working state, and avoiding all updates... until Lion came along today. Then I updated to CS5 12.0.4, and the Program Errors were back again.
Now I see that the problem does seem to be related to the Lucida Grande font. If there's a layer with that font in it, not only can I not edit that text, but I can't marquee select anything, nor drag any shapes. Deleting caches and massaging fonts are completely ineffectual measures... but if I delete the Lucida layers entirely, we're back in business.
At least so far.
Funny to think that of all the innovations I'd like to see Photoshop adopt, the fixing of this one issue is the thing I'd like to see most. I'll be keeping my eye on this thread, and any updates by Mr. Cox.

Photoshop CS5 building Histograms with every file change

I am working in Photoshop CS5 on a MacPro with Snow Leopard, 10.6.4. I have a file that is a little over a gigabyte open. Every time I make any changes to the file (i.e. select a different layers, grab the text tool, etc.) a menu pops up with a progress bar and says it is building the histgrams. This process happens with EVERY move. As you can imagine, this has slowed my productivity down to a crawl. Can I do anything to make it stop rebuilding the histograms at every step?

Photoshop CS5 OpenGL support with latest Intel integrated graphics?

Intel's latest "Sandy Bridge" CPUs (Core i5 2500, Core i7 2600, etc.) included much-improved integrated GPUs, thus allowing for systems that do not require a discrete graphics card. Although not suitable for high-end gaming, the specs appear to be more than enough for Photoshop CS5's GPU acceleration needs. Can anyone confirm or deny that CS5 will be able to take advantage of the new Intel HD 2000 and HD 3000 graphics? The driver specs say it supports OpenGL 3.0 and Shader Model 4.0, both of which satisfy the minimum requirements of OpenGL 2.1 and Shader Model 3.0 for Photoshop CS5.
I'm 99% sure the latest hardware is supported, as Adobe's own document mentions "Intel HD Graphics", just not the specific model numbers. The document was also last updated in November 2010, before the current series of CPUs were released to the public.

Having implemented my own OpenGL applications over the past several years, I can tell you that it's absolutely not that simple. The word "surely" cannot be applied here.
Photoshop, in displaying 2D things with a 3D system, is NO DOUBT using OpenGL differently than any other application has ever used OpenGL. It's the nature of the beast. What they put in which type of buffers at what time in which mode using what calls in which order and using what performance features are all open choices. The software itself makes choices at run time about what parts to use based on OpenGL version and advertised capabilities. Plus they're using Shaders (on-GPU programming), and there are a bunch of different ways to get that done as well.
In order for a system to run perfectly, the applications and video driver / GPU subsystem have to get things exactly right all the time every time, and not just for Photoshop but for all the other apps (and Aero) as well. Though Intel and the others may do plenty of testing, what might work on a test bench might not work when combined dynamically with other things in ways that only happen on an end-user system. Note the number of video game bugs fixed in each driver release.
However complex you think OpenGL is, multiply that by 100 or more and you may be getting into the ballpark.

Hi all
hope this is the right place to post this question.
I want to to write simple arkanoid game in Flash (AC3). I've managed to write code that moves my paddle with arrow keys. The code looks like this:
function OnNewFrame(event:Event):void
    if (input.IsLeftHeld)
        if (paddle.x > 0)
            paddle.x -= 10;
    else
    if (input.IsRightHeld)
        if (paddle.x < stage.stageWidth - paddle.width)
            paddle.x += 10;
It works but the result is ugly. The animation is not fluent, there are times when paddle stops for a moment . Also when speed of translation is high (here it is 10) you can see that paddle is flickering at the ends, it looks like single buffering problem. You can see both of those effects here: http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/movOb.html , hovewer flickering is less visible due to small translation amount.
How to fix this? How can i enable double buffering (or maybe it is enabled by default)? Any help will be appreciated.
P.S. sorry for bad english

Thanks for samples, this is very kind ; p
Hovewer you are doing everything almost exactly as I'am doing. Tou are using mySymbol.x++ which means your translation speed is 1. Also I'am aware that rising frame rate will result in smoother animations, but this is not the point. So once again, my flash applications suffer from two problems:
1) Animations are not smooth. You can see this crealrly in here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/hittest.htm , go back to the very bottom of the page, there is an animation window, look at the smallest circle. It looks like its blinking.
2) Moving symbols with arrow keys with the method i've presnted in the first post (the same method that infeter uses ). Moved symbol is randomly stopping for the very (very very) short amount of time. You can easily spot this in infeter sample.
Many sample applications i've seen suffer from those issues. and nobody seems to see the problem, so maybe I am delusional? ; p
cheers and thank for help

Photoshop CS5 - Compatibility issue with nested groups

I'm using Photoshop CS5 to create a multi-layered, group-heavy PSD. The final file is intended for public consumption, so, ideally, I'd like it to be accessible to as many users - and therefore compatible with as many versions of Photoshop - as possible.
However, I just tried to save the file, and was prompted with this message:
This document contains nested layer groups that may change in apprearance if opened in applications older than Photoshop CS5.
Opening the file in CS4 after the save confirmed that a few of the layer groups were indeed corrupt.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

It looks like you're the only person so far who's posted that particular message on the web anywhere!
Out of curiosity, do you have the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility option set to Always in Edit - Preferences - File Handling?
I have no experience with nested groups, myself, but that setting comes to mind as being involved with the kind of compatibility you're hoping to accomplish.
I do know that nested group capabilities have been around since at least Photoshop CS2.

Probleme with Photoshop CS5 and printing with Mac Lion

Photoshop CS5: Any color with zero red information will turn black

I've been having this problem ever since I installed Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. I've used the program on a Windows Vista 64-bit PC in the past with no problems.
Any color that has zero red information will turn black when in RGB mode and in either 8 or 16-bit mode. If I use the paintbrush, for example, a color with RGB 0/100/100 will be black. However, the color 1/100/100 will not. This problem also occurs with imported images. I've only tried JPEG and PNG so far. The problem does not save out though, as any image exported from Photoshop will appear fine. The issue seems to go away when in 32-bit mode, but it's a little RAM-intensive, and the file sizes are quite large.
I have reinstalled Photoshop, reset its preferences, and reinstalled my video card's drivers (I have a Radeon HD 7870). My PC has 8 GB of RAM and plenty of free hard drive space.
Below is a screencap of what's going on. I'm a bit lost here...any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's a well-known issue with current ATI drivers and Photoshop's GPU-accelerated color-management logic.
You can work around it a couple of different ways:
1. You can install ATI's latest Catalyst 13.2 beta driver, which does solve the problem, or you can uninstall and drop back to Catalyst 12.8.
2. You can switch to Basic GPU mode (and restart Photoshop). Basic mode moves the color-management logic into the CPU. This might be a workaround you'd prefer to take until AMD releases their next non-beta driver where the problem is solved.

Photoshop CS5 Smart objects, Pen tool, Layers.

Hi Ive got few questions about Photoshop CS5.
Every time I open new image in my project photoshop opens as Smart Object and I always have to Rasterize its really annoying. How to change it?
When im using Pen tool and making selection its selects now the part which I selecte but background so I always have to inverse selection to select the part I want to its never happens in Photoshop CS3
When im working on two different projects and I want to copy layer from one project to another how you do it?
Thanks for your help.

1. If your dragging or placing into the image, you can go to Edit>Preferences>General and uncheck Place or Drag Raster Images as Smart Objects.
2. When using the Pen Tool enable Add to Path Area before drawing the path. You can change it after drawing the path by using the Path selection Tool.
3. If your using tabs you can select the Move Tool and drag from the document area on the screen to the other tab and the other document should reveal itself.
Another way is to right click on the layer in the layers panel, choose Duplicate Layer and then in the dialog that follows choose the document under destination.

Photoshop CS5 Performance Problems with Optional Extension Plug-ins Installed

If you installed any of the Optional Extension Plug-ins in Photoshop CS5 (they aren't a part of a default installation of Photoshop CS5) - we determined that some users have had serious performance issues due way these Optional Extension Plug-ins were installed on Mac systems.
We have created the following knowledge base document to help users determine if they are affected by the use of these plug-ins. The document contains instructions on how to remove the plug-ins and restore your Photoshop prefs:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/889/cpsid_88974.html
Note: It's important to both remove the plug-ins and restore your Photoshop prefs in order to get back to a 'good' state.

Following a moving object with a mask

Has anyone out there tried to follow an object with a mask in FCP? bascially I transferred a CAD video into MOV and imported it into FCP to edit it.
NOw i have a "flickering"occuring over some of the objects in the video that I have been masking with a PSD (transparent background) of 'the whole object'.. But i have to import and insert these masks each frame.... does anyone have ANY other ideas on how to resolve this.
A friend of mine said aftereffects, but i cant imagine FCP cant do it.
Thanks ahead of time... i look forward to hearing other people's smarts- as i dont have them.
I can email sample video if there are questions.

within FCP or FCS?
if you have FCS 2 you can use Motion's Analyze Motion and Match Move functions ... tutorial here
if not you could buy Lyric's Motion Tracking Kit plugin bundle
http://www.lyric.com/fcp-plugins/tracking.htm
even better would be to try to address the root of the problem ... what's with the flickering objects?

Photoshop CS5 not working with my epson 1640xl scanner on Mac OS Lion

Just loaded CS5 on Mac 10.7. I downloaded and installed the latest OSX Epson 1640xl scanner software, and also copied the Twain plugin from the Adobe Goodies CD to the Photoshop > Plugins > Import/Export folder.
Rebooted the computer, power off and unplugged my USB scanner, fired it back up, restarted Photoshop, etc. It no longer shows up in Photoshop>File>Import
But Photoshop doesn't see my scanner at all. In fact, the TWAIN plugin doesn't even show up in the plugins folder list.
Little Help? How do I fix this? Everything worked perfectly with Mac 10.6 I also took the scanner into a epson dealer and the scanner works perfectly.
[email protected]

That scanner is sort of old, and doesn't have a 64 bit driver.
As Noel said: use Photoshop in 32 bit addressing mode to work with older drivers and plugins.

Photoshop CS5 "full screen with menu bar" problem

Hi, I use Photoshop in a Mac computer. In CS4 when I work in "full screen with menu bar" mode, is really a full screen because the workspace go beyond the dock at the bottom. I mean, the dock is overlaping the workspace. In CS5, in the same mode is not really a full screen, the workspace ends above the dock, and the space at the bottom of the screen is wasted. I want to know why they changed that, and if there is a way to fix the problem (Hide the dock is not an option for me. Neither to use standard screen mode, cause that way I can't move the image around when zoomed out)

The following may work:
1. Record an action and use insert menu item for:
   View>Screen Mode>Full Screen with Menu Bar
                            and
   View>Fit on Screen
2. Go to: File>Scripts>Scripts Event Manager.
   In the event manager dialog choose the settings as below.
Everytime you open a document, the screen mode will go to full screen
and fit on screen.
If you decide that's a pain, you can go to the scripts event manager and remove the action.
For this to work, the action you recorded has to be in the actions panel.
