Photoshop CS6 Beta does NOT fill Layer with 50% Gray when in CMYK-Mode

1. Open a CMYK-Document
2. Create a new empty Layer
3. Use the "Fill..." command with the option "50% Grey"
4. Result should be: 50% Cyan, 50% Magenta, 50% Yellow, 50% Black, but is 49% Cyan, 40% Magenta, 39% Yellow, 27% Black
-> while this function is normally used to create a layer with the blending mode "Overlay" to have a basis for an "invisible" layer where you can lighten/darken the image or add noise to it, the function "fill with 50% Grey" is malfunctioning now, because this affects an image modification instead of being invisible.

There's a definite difference between Photoshop CS5 and CS6:
Noting that the B value is now 50% in the HSB readout, could it be that this may be an intentional redefinition of ''50% Gray''?

Photoshop CS6 suddenly does not open a tif-file

... which I just created in the same Photoshop CS6 half an hour ago. The error message when opening says: "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil diese Datei nicht mit dieser Version von Photoshop kompatibel ist." (could not open because this file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop). The tif-file has more than 10 layers and is about 150 MB big. There was absolutely no error while saving the file in the first place. I already tried opening in 64 and in 32 bit version.
How can this be and how can I get back or repair my file?
Thank you very much in advance!!!

Try opening it in another program like CorelDraw or a simple image viewer like IrfanView.

We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)? What vendor should we use to make it push and work well? We want to stay with Apple Mail.

Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain. iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail. Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/ a lot more expensive?

Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

Photoshop CS6 Upgrade Does Not Recognize CS3 Extended as Qualifying Product

I am unable to install my Photoshop CS6 upgrade because the upgrade does not recognize a qualifying product on my system. When asked, I enter my current Photoshop CS3 Extended serial number, but the upgrade does not recognize it as a valid serial number from a qualifying product. I have tried to do a clean install to make sure no other applications were running or in conflict. My operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, Service Pack 3. I have an Intel Core 2, Quad CPU @2.66 GHz with 4GB RAM.

SouthCityTim I would recommend contacting our support team so they can validate your upgrade path and serial number. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.

I'm very disappointed to see that CS6 Beta has not caught up with Lightroom's HSL adjustments.

The HSL / Color adjustment in Lightroom is way ahead of what is available in Photoshop in terms of ease of use and flexibility, IMO. To achieve the same results in Photoshop requires a combination of the HSL, Selective Color etc adjustment layers ...
For example, changing the image on the left to the image on the right in the link below takes seconds in Lightroom ... but is very difficult to do in Photoshop.

I would love to see an adjustment layer in Photoshop which is as powerful as the one in Lightroom.

I contacted Amazon who told me no because it was downloaded and told me Adobe might make an acception. Then I called Adobe who told me they can't refund me because I obought it on amazon
I looked here http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/return-cancel-or-change-order.html#Retur n your order
and it says:
From a reseller:
Any Adobe product purchased from any seller other than Adobe, may only be returned to the seller from which the product was purchased, in accordance with that seller's return policy, if any.
Who is totally different from this:
Adobe offers a 30-day, money-back guarantee. If, within that period, you are dissatisfied with the software, you can return it to Adobe. This applies to any software purchased directly from Adobe, or any of their certified resellers. If bought from Amazon (not through Amazon Marketplace, from a 3rd party), just have your Amazon receipt/invoice handy. Contact Adobe directly, per Steve's Reply, and they will take the software back, if within 30 days of purchase. Do not let the time for that return lapse, as there is not "wiggle room."
So one place says I can return it, another says I can't. Im within my 30 days.

My Photoshop CS6 Help does not go anywhere. How do I get Photoshop to add Updates when Help does not function? Help functions in all of my non-Adobe applications, but not in any of the applications of Master Suite CS6. None have received any updates s

Does anyone have any advice?

Try a reinstall to fix files that may have been damaged.
If you need an installer for your suite, go here. Have your serial number ready and qualifying upgrade serial number ready.

Disappointed Verizon does not include headphones with flagship phone when other carriers do

I just switched to Verizon from Sprint and received my pre-ordered Note 4 today via FedEx. I was really disappointed when I did not see the mp3 headset, as I could have sworn I saw it in "whats in the box" online. I then realized when I was looking at "whats in the box" for the Note 4, I was looking at Sprint's website rather than Verizon. I then googled it and realized that Verizon did this with the Note 3 as well as other flagship phones.
I know the headphones are not super expensive but it just leaves an initial bad taste when buying such an expensive product and committing to service for two years.

With all disrespect your post is completely incorrect. The 4 major carriers negotiate with Samsung into how their retail packages will be boxed and what will be included. This was not human error. Headphones are missing from all Verizon Note 4 retail boxes because Verizon saved money by having Samsung exclude them. ATT did the same. Sprint and TMobile retail packages include headphones because that is what they arranged with Samsung. The Note 4 is not by any means the first example of this. This has been Verizon's practice on previous Note phones and other models as well. I don't get why on a $700 phone Verizon/ATT has to cheap out on this. If you search the net you will see a lot of rants on this - though it may be a small group - Verizon definitely loses customers because of this type of stuff

When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open.

When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open (as it did when I used previous versions Photoshop Elements 4 and 9). I can't even right-click (Windows) on the picture and choose Open With and specifiy Photoshop Elements 12. I have called Adobe several times (Case No. 185140584) and they keep saying it has been sent up to senior management and they will call me back with a solution - but to no avail! No return calls and I still can't really use the Product I paid for and downloaded. The only way I can open up a picture to edit it is to open Photoshop Elements 12 and then then click "Open" and then search for the picture on my hard drive (which takes a lot more time! I did not experience this difficulty at all with versions 4 or 9!

Hi,
You failed to say which Windows system you have - I can get the "Open With" to work on my Windows 7 64bit system.
When you try to set up the "Open With", are you setting the correct target program?
It's the green one (not the red one) in the above image.
Once you have selected that program, make sure you set it as default so that a double click will open the photo in the editor.
Good luck
Brian

Problem with filters not finding an image in LR 4.0 after being edited in Photoshop CS6 beta

I am running Lightroom 4.0 on a Win7 Professional 64-bit system. I have come up with a strange problem I can describe but don't know how it can more generally be duplicated, unless this is a Photoshop CS6 beta bug.
I am looking through in Library module at a shoot. When I filter by a keyword that some of the pictures have, a recently edited image does not show up. Here is what I mean; let X=IMG_6260:
1) For X.CR2, edit in Photoshop CS5. All works well - X-ed.tif gets created and added to my LR previous import set.
2) Clicking on X-ed.tif, edit in Photoshop CS6 beta. All seems fine - X-ed-2.tif gets created and added to my LR previous import set.
3) The keywords on all three images - the original and the two edits - are the same. I can confirm that by, in grid view, selecting these three and noting no asterisks in the composite keyword view. One of the keywords is the person's name - let's say it is "Sara".
4) Now, when I click in the keyword list on "Sara", all images in this most recently imported set show up with her *except* X-ed-2.tif - the one created by CS6 beta.
Strange! Should this be reported in a CS6 forum? Thanks.

Yep, it returns nothing. Debug output seems to be largely irrelevant except this oddity:

Message type = "error" with a message = "success"? Not sure if this is normal or not

FAQ: What if I do not have Internet access at the time I install the Photoshop CS6 beta?

If you are temporarily offline during the installation process, you have a seven-day grace period after first launch of the beta during which you can connect to the Internet and perform the activation. You cannot activate the Photoshop CS6 beta on a computer that is permanently offline.

Migrating Presets does not require a network connection and you can still migrate your cc presets if you still have CC installed. Use Photoshop menu Edit>Presets>Migrate Presets... Migrating presets only migrates presets. It does not migrate Plugins, settings, extensions and scripts. CC 2014 is also not completely backwards compatible with CC. Support for Flash Panels and Oil Painter filter have been removed. So extensions like mini bridge no longer work in CC 2014

Photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden. happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden. happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point. i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

Saving a Photoshop CC project from a Mac (in .PSD format) to a thumb drive and trying to transfer it to a Dell laptop with Photoshop CS6. Will not open...Error message: could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document.

The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).
The platforms don't matter, but you still need file transfer that doesn't corrupt files...

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 does not work with Yosemite 10.10

My Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 does not work with Yosemite 10.10 nor does my Premier Elements 12. When I try to start them up I get the error message. After uninstalling and reinstalling a few times its still the same. Strangely enough PSE 11 seem to work with Yosemite. I uninstalled my Premier Elements as well and it behave the same way. How do I get a new copy of Premier Elements 12 to reinstall?

Just to further test what is happening to my iMac on Yosemite is I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CC and when I go to launch it it gives mr the same error message as when I try to launch PES 12 or Premier Elements 12. So whatever the problem is it involves all three and so upgrading to Photoshop CC doesn't even help. Could there be an Adobe file damaged or missing somewhere that is common to these and yet does not effect Revel and Lightroom?

After editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4

after editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4 can anyone help?

In Library, set your sort order to Filename instead of Added order and see if the files show up, then.
How are you doing the Save in PS, using Save or Save As—one will show up, one won’t, I think, but I don’t remember which.
