Photoshop CS6 (mac) - Why is Liquify disabled for smart object?

I've sent over an image from LR5 into PS CS6 as a smart object.
I'm wanting to run the liquify filter, but it isn't open to me as an option. Can someone give me some ideas on what the problem is here?
I checked with Help on PS..and it says my copy is up to date and no new updates available.
I thought CS6 would work liquify on smart objects as a smart filter.
I'm a bit of a noob here, so I may have something set wrong, so, please be patient talk slowly when using big words with me.
Thank you in advance,
chilecayenne

Liquify Smart Object support was added in a update/dot release to CS6. I don't remember which one. Also we are currently investigating a possible bug where Liquify Smart Objects from older Photoshop psd files may not be recognized correctly in the latest version of Photoshop.
Can you find out for sure on which version?  Seems strange, that CS6, no matter where it came from, wouldn't be sync'ed as far as version. I understand features coming out for PHotoshop CC, that would go forward and not be in CS6, but it seems that CS6 should be CS6 and be sync'd for features and version numbers no matter where you got it from.
If you got CS6 from CC....and you quit CC....does that version of CS6 quit functioning or does it work still going forward if you stop paying the CC monthly rent?
Thanks in advance,

  • Resize brush in the liquify filter, photoshop cs6 Mac (13.0.4)

    Hello,
    I just update to photoshop cs6 (Mac 13.0.4). Unfortunately, it's not possible anymore to resize brush in the liquify filter by "CTRL-Option-drag" like I did before in former CS6 version.
    Has anyone encountered the same problem ?
    Many thanks for your help.

    its ctrl+option+shift and launch your ps, delete the
    setting file when prompted.

  • Extract Filter for Photoshop cs6 Mac

    Hi
    I still use the extract filter with Photoshop cs6 and I rely on it for my pet portraits.  I currently use it on a PC but am considering changing it to a Mac.  Will I still be able to use the Extract filter on the Mac?  I really can't get on with Refine Edges, it doesn't give me the smae quality results.

    I use my own color profiles from Photoshop CS6/Mac Pro - how do I turn of Epson Artisan 837 printer color management?

    Choose Photoshop Manages Color in the CS6 print dialogue. At the top, click the Print Settings button and disable any color management settings for the printer.
    Edit: Correction, that's CS6 in Snow Leopard. In Mountain Lion, if you check the print settings, color management for the printer should automatically be disabled when using Photoshop Manages Color.

  • CMD + Shift constrain drag shortcut buggy in Photoshop CS6 (Mac)

    Since moving to Photoshop CS6 a shortcut I regularly use for switching tool and dragging elements on a page is producing varying results. The CMD + Shift drag is very useful to allow users to drag elements constrained vertically or horizontally on the page. However since CS6 I have noticed it no longer allows me to drag effectively while my cursor is over the elements I want to move. It goes a bit nuts and does different angles instead of the constrain. This problem is intermittent and depending on the elements I am attempting to move will randomly depend on whether it works. This shortcut I have been using for years and has become native to me. So why now is it not working properly ?

    I can reproduce this issue in Bridge CS6. Thanks for reporting!

    Re: CS6 updates and Mac write permissions
    Need Adobe help to solve this. My own searches in Forums and Google all have failed.

    It is not an Adobe problem. You have a OS permissions problem. You can try to correct this by using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. It is in the First Aid area of Disk Utility.

  • Can anyone tell me where I can aquire a Photoshop CS6 Raw converter(nef,not DNG) for my Nikon D600 Camera

    Can anyone please tell me where I can aquire a Photoshop CS6 Raw Converter(nef, not dng) for my Nikon D600.
    I would also be grateful if you could assist me in telling me how you install the "pluggin" into the suite software?
    Any assistance would be most appreciated.
    Regards

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The Nikon D600 is supported by Camera Raw 7.3 and later which is compatible with CS6.
    In CS6, click Help > Updates and your Camera Raw should be updated.
    Check the exact version of Camera Raw which you have installed via Help > About Plug-ins > Camera Raw

  • Liquify as a smart object filter CS6

    I understand that I should be able to use Liquify as a smart object filter in CS6 however when I get a layer rendered as a smart object and attempt to use the smart filter Liquify is greyed out.
    my only opiton thus far has been to stamp it down and work on the stamped down layer.  Am I missing something .  I'm using Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.6 (13.0.6 20131025.r.54 2013/10/25:21:00:00) x64

    I think that is in the photoshop cs6 creative cloud verion 13.1 that the Smart object liquify was added.
    (not in the perpetual license versions of photoshop cs6)
    Also, it's in photoshop cc (photoshop version 14) as well

  • Perspective transform for Smart object.

    Hello!
    I working on the  Photoshop with Smart Object with link to Illustrator. How can i transform perspective for Smart Object in Photoshop? There are accessible to me only Scale Rotate and Skew, others is gray out.
    Thanks all!

    That's a special type of SO you've got: Vector SO. Right-click it in Layers panel and pick Convert to Smart Object. That'll put the VSO inside a SO which you can transform with perspective.

  • How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?

    Working in the CC3D features, I am constantly making changes to my bump map. Every time I step-backwards, or make a significant change to the bump texture (smart object?), CC auto-saves the layer. This specific file is a very very large document (3 gigs in the bump texture layer alone), and the 3D layer has lots of lights and is very complex. This auto-refresh/update really bogs down the time that it would take me to make my changes. I have a very fast machine (I know it's fast, I dont need to list my specs), and I have all shadows disabled.
    How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?

    If you do not like a feature like smart objects there is nothing forcing you to use it. Use some other features to do what you want. Please don't ask Adobe to introduce bug into smart object support.
    You could work on your bump maps textures in external files. When your done some time in the future you could edit your project with the smart object layer and use replace smart object. Only then will all smart filters be applied to the smart layer with the replaced smart object.
    Or if by CC Auto save Layer you referring to CC Generate feature you can disable that feature.
    I have no idea what your referring to when you write "CC auto-saves the layer" being a feature. I know CC Generate will write layers out as web files but that more a Web feature then a 3d feature.  Where do you see your layer being saved?

  • Why is using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor for Acrobat still a complete failure?

    Image objects in pdfs are losing their positional and other parameters when saved after editing with Photoshop CS6(ONLY).  The problem was acknowledged on the Photoshop forum three months ago, but they said it was up to the Acrobat folks to fix it.  When using most previous versions of Photoshop (CS2-CS5 all tested) as the touchup image editor, Acrobat was able to place the image right back into it's previous position in the pdf and it could  do this without releasing whatever path was used to crop or mask the image (basically it worked great).  However, using Photoshop CS6 as the touchup image editor is still a complete failure.  Any idea when or if this will be fixed?
    Thanks

    The Photoshop 13.0.1 Update fixes this issue.  Excellent.

  • Photoshop CS6 freezes when using Liquify filter

    Hi,
    sorry for starting this topic again, but reading other discussions didn't help. THe problem is that Photoshop freezes when I use Liquify filter. It is enough just to open it and then click cancel - the Photoshop gets stucked immediately. I have never had such problem before, ran the whole Creative Suite 6 succesfully on my laptop, but after I reinstalled system using an old system image, it is not working properly.
    I have Photoshop CS6, Windows 7 64 bit and I have Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 integrated and NVIDIA GeForce GT540M external graphics cards. I am forcing the laptop to use NVIDIA only for everything, also I force Photoshop itself to start with NVIDIA GPU. Nothing helped.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for your help!

    Is it possible the old system image had an old video card driver or you are not running the latest CS6 update? I would first check to be certain you have all the latest CS6 and video card updates.

  • Does anyone know how to avoid grainy files after editing in Photoshop CS6 (Mac)

    We have come across a problem using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 on a MAC. We use Illustrator CS6 for putting together the graphics and use Photoshop CS6 for editing. When we save the image in full res and browse the image - the image looks grainy both on a Mac and a PC. Has anyone else come across a similar problem and if so do you know how we can solve this problem?

    Are you "Placing" the image files?  What format are they saved in ( i.e., .tiff, .psd, .jpg, .eps )?
