Photoshop CS6 colors have shifted for PSD files; no longer match Bridge colors, resulting jpg colors off too

Until last night, Photoshop has been working relatively well** (see below) However, I processed a batch of DNG files through Bridge and saved them as PSDs.  When I opened up the new PSD files in PSCS5, the colors had shifted - more green, less saturated. 
I went back to the DNG files and opened each up separately in PS - the color looked good.  I edited them, saved them as PSD files, and reopened them in PS - the colors were bad. 
I cleared the Preferences (by holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift) when restarting PS.  Although it cleared up the pre-existing issue explained below **, it didn't fix the issue with the colors.
I rebooted my computer.  No luck.
I looked for available updates. None available.
I recalibrated my monitor (ColorMunki).  No luck.
I don't know what I did/what happened to cause the problem.  The day before, everything was fine.
I tried to fix it by experimenting with option under View.  The closest I could get the colors to matching those shown in Bridge was to set  View--Proof Colors-- Monitor RGB.
But here's the kicker - when I did a "save as" in PS the resulting jpeg had the same gross color shown in PS before setting the proof colors to Monitor RGB - and the jpeg colors are gross in Bridge and PS!  The same thing happens if I run a batch of PSDs via Bridge and save them as jpegs.  The resulting jpegs look gross in both PS and Bridge.
HELP!
I'm using a PC with Windows 7.  All the images jpegs, DNG and PSD are in the RBG color space.
**(except for one weird issue - when I would try to open up a color balance layer, it would open a levels layer instead)

  • Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

    I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6.  If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to.  I don't know if I changed something by accident or not. 
    Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..."  The save as window opens showing the file name and format.  The default format seems to be .PSD.  I use the drop down to select .jpg.  The file saves normally as a .jpg.  When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
    I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite  but it always used to do that.  This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
    In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
    I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 provides no engine for debugging

    Hello,
    I've been trying to diagnose a problem with my wife's copy of CS6 Web and Design premium. Basically it's unable to run any JSX script that requires the Debug engine. I receive the error message 'Adobe Photoshop CS6 provides no engine for debugging' - trying it on Illustrator also gives a similar error. Persisting by clicking the 'play' button brings up a popup error message that says 'Unable to Run Script' or something similar.
    Note that if I hack our JSX script to bypass the debug engine it works fine - except certain PSDs will cause CS6 (and my older copy of CS4) to crash, so this is only a stopgap measure. Disabling OpenGL on CS4 seems to prevent crashing but it's not an option on the wife's copy since she's a full-time artist and I'm not.
    This is what I've had to change -
    $.level = 2;    // debug level: 0-2 (0:disable, 1:break on error, 2:break at beginning)
    debugger;        // launch debugger on next line
    Changing the $.level = 0 lets me continue without issue.
    This problem does NOT exist on my laptop using the same installer downloaded from Adobe.com. (I use trial version for testing, she uses her serial no.)
    Is it possible this problem persists because I uninstalled an old copy of Photoshop CS5 (standalone installation) AFTER installing CS6 Web & Design (multiple programs)?
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS6, but the problem persists.
    Please help, our jobs rely on this. >.<
    Worst case scenario I'll copy the entire install folder over from my laptop to try and fix the problem but I'd rather not have to since we're currently working in different countries and I can only use Remote Assistance to help.

    The problem is the SCRIPTS work - the debugging engine is what's missing for some reason. Even if there's a way to just cleanly uninstall everything so I can start from scratch without formatting the hard disk would be a good solution. (since apparently I think I missed some files somewhere on the last uninstall)

  • Photoshop CS6 13.1.2 x64 PSD Loading Problems

    I have created a multi-layered UI PSD that's 26.7MB in size. When I open it, the "Reading Photoshop Format" UI comes up for ~3 minutes and it takes more than 4 minutes to finish the load. It eats 5.5GB of my RAM, and writes 99-100% to my DDrive the whole time, creating a 19.8GB scratch file. The dialogue disappears, and the mouse stutters for about 20 seconds and then I can actually interact with Photoshop.
    What's going on here and how can I fix this? It's not saved to be compatible and was created in CS6 from scratch.
    Other PSD files open just fine without issue (I have another 24MB file with just a few layers).
    It's nearly unusable now. Something is very wrong. I have no other issues with my system or software.
    This is on a 4GHz 12GB of RAM Win8 x64 system.

    I am having troubles since the last update too. I can see the import button, but I cannot import my images, JPG and CR2 into Lightroom.

    when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

    That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

    I posted this earlier, but now I can't find it in the forum?

    You could use Bridge, or depending on your operating system, use one of the codec packs that let you view PSD thumbnails in Windows Explorer.  (I don't know OSX)
    This seems like a popular choice for Windows 7

    Personally, I just use Bridge, but I can see how an app like Sage Thumbs would be useful

  • How long will the Photoshop CS6 Beta be active for?

    Hi
    I would like to know how long will the Photoshop CS6 Beta be active for. As a VFX Artist I will be testing CS6 in a production environment to improve workflow. Some of the features I want to be able to use won't happen for a few weeks yet as I'm awaiting content. I just basically would like to know that If I install CS6 now, will it expire in a few weeks or on 30 days? If it's very limited, I'd rather wait than have it expire on be before I can test it properly.
    Thanks.
    Mike.

  • Color space support for png files

    kindly suggesting :
    color space support for png files, requiring the support (read/write) of the chunks: iCCP, cHRM, gAMA, sRGB

    Hi ChrisT,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I went to:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4148...
    Which is the software update page for my model. I see 10 items under Software Solutions, 8 of which are just video tutorial updates, not actual application updates (and none of those are for the Photo App). The two application updates are:
    HP TouchSmart Recipe Box Application Update
    HP Support Assistant Application Update
    So, are you saying that PNG file types are supported in some versions of the Photo App and I don't have the correct version? Or in other words, what am I missing?
    Cheers,

  • I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file.  This happened after running CCleaner

    Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file.  This happened after running CCleaner

    Hi, I've been asked to join this discussion. CCleaner is a nice tool, but if you used the Registry Cleaner that came with it, it might have done something to Photoshop's registry entries. There is that danger in using them.
    One thing CCleaner does is leave a backup of the registry, or you can use Windows System Restore to go to that point before you ran the Cleaner. Let's go with System Restore. Review the instructions.
    System Restore - Microsoft Windows
    If you suspect a virus, I'd like to direct you here http://bleepingcomputer.com/
    That would be the "Am I infected?" forum.
    They have the tools, you run them, and copy and paste the logs that are generated. They are very good at this, but it is super important you follow directions and don't leave until the process is completed.

    You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter.  That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.
