Photoshop CS5 - Red showing as orange-ish colour

Hi Guys,
I'm having a weird issue with photoshop....my RGB is set to adobe 1998 (proof is the same, but I'm not using it).
The colour red 255, 0, 0 is showing as an orange of #FF5301 (when I go to preferences, it shows as proper red again in the tools palette, close it, it reverts to the orange hue). Also, when I do a "save for the web" the preview image is proper red again.
Any ideas what may be causing this? It seems to have happended very recently.
v12.0.1 x64 on win7/x64

A corrupted monitor profile can cause an incorrect color display. I don't know why it should have changed for you, though.
Have you recently calibrated/profiled your monitor?
If using Windows 7, do this:
1. Click the Start button and type Color Management into the Search box.
2. When Color Management comes up, click it.
3. In the Devices tab, is your [ ] Use my settings for this device box checked? Is a profile listed in the list?
When you say "my RGB is set to adobe 1998", I assume you mean your preferred working space is "Adobe RGB 1998" in the Edit - Color Settings... dialog.
What is the document profile of the image you're editing? Does this happen with a brand new canvas, created right in Photoshop?

Photoshop CS5 not showing up in DWCS4

OK So I had both DW and PS CS4 all was well photoshop icon was showing in images property inspector and double clicking an image would open it in photoshop. Then I upgraded to PS CS5 and DW would still open images in PS CS4 not the new PS CS5. So I figured if I removed PS CS4 it would work but I only got an error message saying it couldn't find PS CS4. I then called adobe support and after an hour on the phone with them they finally said try and uninstall and re install DW. Well I did that and still it doesn't work and I can't find the old PS CS4 to reinstall it so at this point there is absolutely no integration of DW with PS.

after all that I figured it out myself. In preference there is a file type editor section were you can pick which program to use when you want to edit specific file types. I obviously picked PS CS5 for .gif .jpg and .psd Now the PS icon is back and double clicking opens the image in PS CS5

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!)

Photoshop CS5 Colour changes toggling screen modes

Hi.
I have recently started encountering a problem with a colour shift in Photoshop CS5 when toggling between screen modes (Full screen and normal window) My setup is a mid-2010 MacBook Pro with an Eizo CG243W Connected to the display port. Both screens are calibrated. While using the MacBook Pro as a seconddary display, the image on the external Eizo changes colour depending on which screen mode I set in PS. In normal Window mode the colours appear correct, but changing to Fullscreen alters the colours (They become a lot more muted and move towards a yellow/green tint) Trying the same on the MacBook Pro screen (with the Eizo connected) produces the opposite result, in normal window mode the colours become over saturated (a vivid red tint), but in full screen mode appear normal.
This started happening after upgrading to OSX 10.8.3 (From OSX 10.6.x) I have tried various suggested workarouds (such as altering OpenGL settings in PS) to no avail. I therefore humbly ask this community for any advice or suggestions you might have.

That can be a good workaround, but be aware that some things won't work... For example, you won't be able to see a preview of your brush hardness using the Alt-right mouse button brush gestures. And of course zoom won't be smooth, and pans won't flip with inertia (big whoop). If you have Extended you may not find the 3D features as usable.
What I'd do if I were you is do some searches for people using your specific video card and see if any of them have found any older drivers that work better. Then bug nVidia to fix their drivers.
Alternatively, a really fine video card with huge speed and memory can be had nowadays for a hundred bucks.

My images in Photoshop CS5 show up black.?

My images in Photoshop CS5 show up black.?
CS5 and was working great yesterday..but today both all my images PSD, JPG show up black in the workspace.
The image is only visible when I am moving the window around and it shows up in the layer window fine.
I can't see my edits, and I have no idea how to turn it off, or get that Black not to show...
HELP, I need PS to work ASAP... Thanks to All... TOM

Have you tried deleting your preferences file?
I think it's CTRL, ALT, SHift when starting PS and that will brinf up a prompt box.

Panel is not showing as an Extension in Photoshop CS5 (Windows 7 OS)

I'm attempting to create a panel using Configurator 2.0 (using Windows 7 OS) for Photoshop CS5, and can't get it to show at all in my Window>Extensions menu. I have ran the program as Administrator, and it gives me a successful save message, but once I try to export (which says it is successful as well) then reboot photoshop it doesn't show it at all. I have searched and searched to see what I have been doing wrong, but I can't get it to show. I've also tried installing it via Adobe Extension manager, but it says the file is missing. I simply have no idea how to fix it. Any advice here would be appreciated.

I too am having the exact same issue, I just started up a new win7 machine and have all new installs of my adobe software and tried to recreate the configurator panel I created in my Vista version and I can't get it to show.
UPDATE:
I did get it to work by playing around with the extensions manager. I wish I could remember exaclty what I did but I think I basically dragged the folder that contained the extension file onto the ext man and then it said I couldn't do it because I wasn't administrator and asked me if I wanted to do it form the other user which was the computer name so I said yes and it worked. I don't know if this helps but I thought I'd let you know.

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!!

Nikon NEF red's show to orange as Camera Standard color profile in LR/ACR

I am using a D4s and the red colors in my NEFs in LR 5.5 show more orange. They are not accurate and I am using Camera Standard or Portrait. My screens are calibrated. I see a difference (more true) comparing with Nikon's native program. Even in Capture One the reds are more true. Am I the only one to see this in LR? If I leave the file in Adobe Standard its too saturated and also wrong. Why is it that I notice this more in Nikon files than Canon files in LR/Camera Raw (using 8.5 now)?

Colour matching, dreamweaver/Photoshop CS5

I'm trying to match colours used in Dreamweaver and PS CS5, so that if I make a faux background using Photoshop, it is the same colour as the colour I use in Dreamweaver. For some reason, even if I use hex codes, the colours look different when I preview in a browser.
Also, I can't use the PS CS5 eye dropper tool to sample colours outside of Photoshop. As soon as I move the eyedropper tool outside of the PS workspace, it becomes an arrow pointer again.
Can anyone advise where I'm going wrong?
Thanks

GIF for line-type graphics with limited colors
JPEG for photos or other rich complex graphics
PNG-24 for graphics with alpha transparency (masks)
Then it's a matter of selecting what file-size and optimization you're looking for.
Smaller equals faster but small can also mean lower quality (less colors for GIFs, more compression on JPEGs).
And turn off "save as sRGB" in Photoshop unless you know how to use color profiles and use color management systems.
For even more color madness: Some browsers support color profiles, Safari being one of them, whereas previously, web graphics didn' even include color profile metadata . This meant your computer just had to take a best guess at what color to display and which is why the 256 web-safe colors became such a huge thing - because at least those colors displayed well regardless of which computer or screen you were using. This is now no longer a problem as most displays support sRGB color space which is kind of a "lowest-common denominator" color space profile.
Anyhoo... that's probably more information then you need. Hope its interesting and useful.

Photoshop CS5 already in 32-bit mode; Lighting Effects filter not showing in the Filter Menu

Doesn't a Mac have a definitive way to check to see whether an application is running in 64 bit mode or 32? Some kind of process manager or something? 22 posts have gone by and the original poster doesn't yet seem convinced that it is actually running in 64 bit mode.
I don't know why there has been doubt since post #12 where I explained that Ps must be running in 64-bit mode when more than 2100 MB RAM is reported in Preferences.
Anyway, here's a screenshot of Activity Monitor showing CS6 in 64-bit mode and CS5.1 in 32-bit mode.

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."

use Output Module in Bridge (CS4 and CS5 only) and you can very easily and quickly create a slideshow. Loads of options in a very easy to understand format and in an order.
Have fun!
IMO the Output Module in Bridge offers a limited number of options. If you can program some you have endless possibilities using Photoshop Scripting. I have an old 20th century programming background, don't have good understanding of object programming still I was able to hack one of Jeffrey Tranberry Photoshop scripts created for the Simpleviewer Web Gallery Flash Viewer. I Changed features and Added features and options I wanted for example Meta-data support for copyright notice, titles, description, Links, e-Mail to, EXIF etc. It was also easy to adapt this script to generate other Flash Web Galleries like WS-Slideshow.
Examples:
SimpleViewer: http://www.mouseprints.net/SVNewZealand/
Ws-Slideshow the way I generate these I hide the Ws-Slideshow menu bar you need to hover the mouse cursor over the bottom of the image window to be able to see and use it. This Ws-Slideshow gallery contains nine albums http://www.mouseprints.net/albums/

Why don't my adjustments in LR4 show up when I edit in Photoshop CS5?

Why is it when I edit an image in lightroom 4 then go to retouch etc in photoshop cs5 those adjustements that I made on the image in lightroom ie contrast, saturation, exposure etc don't show up when I move the raw image into photoshop to do final retouching on the image but still have it in my lightroom catalog? It is the camera raw issue that comes up when you first try to edit an image and lightroom says it needs camera 7.0 which does't exist yet?

If you read the post in the Lightroom Journal you will get the full answers to the OP request.
1. you need ACR 6.7 Release Candidate in Photoshop CS 5 to be able to pass the raw data from LR 4.
2. Camera raw 7.x will not be available in PS CS5 you will require PS CS6 which is now available in release candidate.version. All the info you need is there.
I was just passing on the link to the official info from the head of the Lightroom team so the correct info could be viewed so there would be a minimum of mis-understanding.

I need to connect my Nikon D3x directly to my MacBook Pro. So that once I take a picture, that photo will show up instantly in Photoshop CS5 in my MacBook Pro. Is it possible?

You should ask in the Photoshop CS5 forum.
