Photoshop cs5; problem snapping to guides

Hi, am working on a new version of Photoshop CS5. My curser no longer highlights ( or changes color ) over guides and my selections wont snap to the guides. Have enabled 'snap', as well as 'snap to guides' but nothing changes. I've also alternated between the two just in case they didn't work at the same time. Any idea's, i cant work accurately right now..thanks

ForceQuit and Quit are options, but not a solution. I'm more interested in why it happens and when it happens, how to back out of it.
I asked if you are offered »Quit« or »Force Quit«. I have never seen them both offered in that pop-up.
In latter case you have no further options, I’m afraid.
In the first case you could try quitting all other applications … no guarantees that would help, though.
As to why it happens:
How diligent are you with System maintenance, font validation etc. and are third party plug-ins installed?

Photoshop CS5 problem - Is this Banding?

Hi
I am using Adobe lightroom 3.0.64 to process RAW photos from my Canon Camera. Then I touch up the pictures in Photoshop CS5. I have been working on some snooted background shots recently and I am experiencing a problem when I edit the photos in photoshop. It appears to be some of kind artifacting or distortion particularly noticeable if using graduated lighting. Looking on the web I have come across references to "banding". I am not sure if this is the problem I am experiencing, but I would appreciate it if someone could take a look.
Either way any help on how to get rid of this issue "post" picture taken would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried duplicating a layer/Blurring it and then using masks to bring out the main focus of the picture. This doesnt seem to work very well and just makes the banding look more noticeable.
I have uploaded a hi-res version of the file:

and circled the problem areas.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I can see the same posterization effect when I click on that one too. Does that mean the problem is to do with the screen display profile after all, and I should change the profile to Srgb as suggested.
There's no easy answer, but in general unless your monitor is actually displaying the sRGB color space accurately I'd say it's not generally a good idea to throw out a display profile that brings your particular monitor into proper calibration.
If you want your document products - i.e., that which you publish or print - to hide the posterization, then I suggest making sure Dithering is enabled in your color preferences. That way when the conversion of the document profile to sRGB occurs, the gradients will look smooth.
Today's monitors are good enough that you can easily see 256 different shades of gray. The posterization you're seeing may well be because of that - OR - you may be experiencing the problem I reported in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3473424
Try going into Edit - Preferences - Performance, [Advanced] and changing your OpenGL mode in Photoshop to Basic, then restarting Photoshop. Does that help make your rose image look better on your monitor?

Printing in photoshop CS5 problem

IN photoshop CS5 when you select to print 8 copies of an image only one comes out of the printer...
worked fine with cs3 cs4
any input?

The problem is within CS5! Thats it. Windows 7, XP & Vista are all fine and dont need to be reinstalled. All printers work fine too. Everyone is going crazy trying to figure out this mess and spining there wheels over this.
This is the ONLY way to get multiple prints out of your CS5.
File>Print
Choose your printer (in this case I'm using an Epson 7800)
Print Settings>Page Layout>Copies> (choose qty) OK (you will notice that the copies box will now show the amount you just put in from the previous page.
Print>
That should work just fine. I have been doing this all week and have not had one issue.
PS shame on Adobe for not fixing that simple problem.

10.6 & Photoshop CS5 Problem

Am having an issue with Photoshop CS5. Getting a vague "there was a program error" message when trying to click anywhere with the text tool. The problem goes away in 'safe boot' mode... so I don't think it is CS5 prefs (which I have already tried trashing, to no avail). Switching to another user also fixes the problem, but I'd love to find the culprit, as I've had the issue on two machines now. Must be something in the background, but didn't see anything suspicious in Activity Monitor or Console. Any ideas how I can trace it down? Thanks!

FWIW, I just fixed this problem (I think) with the following:
Quit PS
Moved Stone Sans OS ITC TT out of the /Library/Fonts/ folder
Moved Stone Sans OS ITC TT out of the ~/Library/Fonts/ folder
Deleted ~/Library/Caches/Adobe folder
Restarted PS

Photoshop CS5 problem with missing menu and unable to click any tools

We have a user who was working on a couple documents. After backgrounding PS, they pulled it back to the foreground, but instead of the Photoshop menus appearing at the top, the tools palettes came up, but the menu at the top still says finder. They are unable to click on any tools or the documents. It's as if PS is unresponsive, but you can click to other apps and the spinning ball is not appearing. Activity monitor reports no hangs as well. We would to be able to save the open files, but are unable to do anything. Choosing to "hide" photoshop from the dock resulted in the documents hiding and now they will not appear again.
Can anyone point us in a direction that might help?
Thanks,
Scott

Photoshop CS5 problem

When trying to set up a custom paper size in CS5 the application quits.
This keeps me from either setting up a new size or changing one of the sizes that were set up before Yosemite.
I've searched for CS5 Yosemite upgrade with no success.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks

Uninstalling won't do anything to help.
Just go to the character and paragraph palettes, open the menu at the top right of each, and reset them.

Photoshop CS5 problems

I have a MacBook Pro 15.4 inch laptop. When I use the HDR function I cannot see the bottom of the window. When I click on the minimize and maximize button it does not show me the bottom of the window. All I see are the top of the images that are being used.
Also, the level button under levels turns purple when the arrow is placed on it. Not only that, when I try to utilize that button the image turns purple. Can anyone help me with these issues?

Hi. Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

ACR to Photoshop CS5 window focus problem.

Running Photoshop CS5 on Win7, both 64 bit. No problems for months, then recently this minor "annoyance" appeared.
I "host" ACR via Bridge, with the windows for all three apps maximized. I double-click a raw file in Bridge and ACR opens. I make my ACR adjustments, or not, and click "Open Image" to pass to Photoshop.
The images passes into Photoshop OK, but the Photoshop window does not receive "focus". Instead, the ACR window closes, leaving the underlying Bridge window displayed. But then no window has focus.
When I click once on the Photoshop tab, I get a screen flicker, like a window is being minimized, but the Bridge window remains displayed. I click again on the Photoshop tab and it comes up, full screen with focus.
If I take the ACR window out of "maximized" mode, the problem does not occur. Raw images pass from Bridge through ACR to Photoshop with proper window focus. Opening tif, psd, or jpeg images via Bridge is no problem. Only when raw images pass through a maximized ACR window does Photoshop fail to receive focus.
A few days ago I used the Windows 7 "snap" feature to place the Photoshop window and ACR window side-by-side. This is done by dragging a window off-screen until it turns blue and then releasing. I believe this action caused the problem I'm having now. I've unsnapped, resnapped, and unsnapped the Photoshop and ACR windows several times, hoping to clear the problem, but it remains.
Keeping the ACR window out of maximized mode is an easy work around, but the mystery remains and I hate mysteries.

I know how you feel, I've had a few problems like this with CS5. I can only think of two suggestions:
1. Disable Windows 7's fancy desktop (Aero peek, or whatever it's called) to see if that helps.
2. Make sure you're sorting by filename in Bridge. I have noticed that sorting by metadata causes Bridge to sometimes steal focus when it's not wanted. I love Bridge, but christ it needs a good sorting out.

How to always show rulers in Photoshop CS5 and other problems

Does anyone know how to make Photoshop CS5 always show rulers in mac? I have not have this issue with any other PS. I need the rulers to drag guides contantly, but photoshop cs5 would not show the rulers automatically. Everytime I have to go to View --> Show rulers or the shortcut command + R. Is there a way to instruct Photoshop to always show rules with any file I open or create?
I have many other issues with Photoshop CS5 that CS2, 3, and 4 had out of the box... It is very frustrating that I spent all this money and instead of working, I have been on the phone with Adobe for hours... I am very disappointed so far.
I have had CS5 Master's Collection for 2 months now on Mac 10.6.7. I have reinstalled Photoshop 3 times as some shortcuts were not working like shift plus scroll to inscrease to 100%, 200%, etc.
The other thing that still does not work and Adobe has not offered a solution is that my Photoshop would not append extensions. Regardless of the Preferences settings, all my files get saved as JPG instead of jpg... I wonder if any of you out there have this issue as well?
Thank you.

I believe my computer and its account are healthy. I just bought the mac pro with solid state and the only programs I have installed are the Master Collection CS5.
I have good news though - After two months of waiting, I was finally able to speak with Adobe specialists yesterday and they changed the shortcut for Save As that Photoshop ships with from Command + Alt + S to Command + Shift + S - and miraculously now Photoshop appends extensions!!!
However, my question about always displaying rulers remains. We got disconnected and I didn't have a chance to ask them (I was on hold for an hour and a half!)
