Photoshop CS6 Release Build Date Implies Beta Preferences Valid

Interestingly, it looks like the released code is closely related to the beta code... Build date and time of the released files are March 15, 2012 at 3:22 am (someone was burning the midnight oil).
I guess that says they didn't feel anything was too terribly wrong with the beta version.
I only mention this because it seems to mean that retaining the preferences, workspace, et. al., that we have set up during the testing of the CS6 beta version will still be perfectly valid.
Normally I would advise to delete preferences during the uninstall of the beta and recreate everything, but (unless one of the Adobe folks chimes in here and says otherwise) I'd say it's likely to be okay to keep them. That would be kind of nice not to have to re-setup Photoshop CS6.

Well, given that Photoshop CS6 strives to port preferences from older versions, one might think that it might have been an Adobe design goal to try not to leave the folks who tried the public out in the cold by making them go through the process of setting up CS6 twice.
I am a little surprised Adobe did not rebuild the software before release per some of the beta feedback, since some of the bugs reported seemed pretty serious (thinking, for example, of the one where under some condition it can corrupt text in a PSD file so that it's uneditable)... Clearly they place a LOT of emphasis on their system testing, and apparently no bug was considered a "show stopper".
But I imagine they're working hard to get an update out. Also they must be planning to update Camera Raw to 7.1 soon, to bring back Camera support already in 6.7.

Has the official Photoshop CS6 release changed from the beta version?

That's it really. Are there any substantial differences or changes in the official release?

It should look the same to the users. No big new features were added, just some bug fixes.

Improper Photoshop CS6 beta uninstall prevents Photoshop CS6 release version install

I installed Photoshop CS6 beta on my Mac, OS 10.6.8. Once I purchased and went to install CS6, the installer informed me to uninstall the beta version of Photoshop, but didn't say how, or that there was a catch. I went and uninstalled Photoshop CS6 beta bny dragging it to the trash. OOPS! - now the release version won't install, and I can't find anyhting on the Adobe website other than private messages from Adobe employees to specific users with the same problem as to how to rectify the issue.
Aside from venting my frustration at a situation I (and others have found ourselves in that could have been prevented by a little better planning and installer design, I'd really appreciate help in rectifying this state of affairs. It looks from other Forum posts like there is a tool or procedure that cvan be used to make the install work. Thanks in advance -

I am building the ultimate Photoshop CS6 PC desktop for my photography. I want to have it last for 4 years and be ready for the Adobe CSx upgrades and Windows 8. No overclocking, no gaming, very little video editing.
The (4) 3Tb drive will be run in Raid 5 and the (2) 1Tb drives will be run in Raid 1. I want all drives to run with 6Gb through put.
I have a problem that I can’t overcome in that I am told that the Adaptec controller card won’t run on either motherboard, partly because of uFEI and the X79 chipset.

Sorry for posting to a relatively old thread, but I've been going through my own re-building process and this thread is among the more informative/interesting.
Noel, you've put together an amazing system through some rather extraordinary modifications to your Dell T5500. A few questions:
How did you come to putting (4) 480 GB SSDs into a RAID 0 configuration? Did you compare or research running the drives separately? In the past, you couldn't use TRIM on SSDs when they were in a RAID configuration. Intel recently made allowances for this (http://www.anandtech.com/show/6161/intel-brings-trim-to-raid0-ssd-arrays-on-7series-mother boards-we-test-it). Are you taking advantage of this new capability?
What "enterprise class" drives did you use?... Western Digital Red drives?
The biggest beef I have with all of the workstations and workstation-like laptops out there is that they include a CAD-oriented "professional" (i.e., expensive) graphics card with them. I take it you replaced whatever was in the T5500 with a "consumer" based graphics card?
What OS are you running?... Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?
Rmumba, you got some really good advice. What did you end up building? IMO, the Core i7 3960K CPU is also a bit of overkill (certainly the 3970K is), but that's me. I think a 3930K would be better if you want/need to stick with the X79 architecture or go to a XEON like Noel if you don't. The XEON E5-2687W is ultra expensive (and a dual CPU setup with TWO of them would put most of us into bankruptcy), but it absolutely rips through Photoshop. Check out http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/xeon-e5-2687w-benchmark-review,3149-6.html for a comparison.
Finally, if you're still researching how to build this computer by yourself, you could always get a system builder like Origin PC to do it for you. It's obviously more expensive, but they can also help you with questions about power supplies, cooling, and other issues you didn't get into here. As ex-Alienware guys, gaming systems are their claim to fame, but they can certainly build you a nice Photoshop rig. They even have a Professional line if you want to go the XEON route.

Photoshop cs6 beta trial stopped working.

Hey guys,
Photoshop CS6 Trial stopped working for some reason. I didn't change anything on my computer (like the time as posted in other posts) or anything else. It just stopped working out of no where. It was working fine yesterday morning, and by yesterday afternoon it stopped letting me get in. The "Continue Trial" button just is not selectable anymore... When I installed it originally, I did sign in with my ID also, so I don't know what the issue is. Any suggestions?
Here's a screensho (click for larger view)t:

Thanks a lot for sharing the log files. We looked at the log file and determined that the Trial is expiry for Photoshop CS6 on the users machine and so Photoshop CS6 stops working. Correspondingly the "Continue Trial" button on Adobe Application manager (AAM) becomes disabled.
Below are more detailed response for different users:
User camcheline:
It seems from the log file that the Photoshop CS6 Trial license has been expired as on date 2012-04-18. This could be because of any prior Photoshop CS6 pre-release build installed and its Trial been consumed. Further user tried to wound back his system clock to some past time which is 2012-01-02. User later corrected the system clock to 2012-04-18 and tried again but this could not helped as Trial was actually expired. This gets confirmed from the following log statements-
2012-04-18 10:35:56 [15749] SLCoreService: Query license: type = 1, duration = 60 days, remaining = expired.
2012-01-02 10:34:22 [15739] SLCoreService: Query license: type = 1, duration = 60 day, remaining = expired (clock is wound back).
2012-04-18 10:35:56 [15749] SLCoreService: Query license: type = 1, duration = 60 days, remaining = expired.
Note: Trial license of Photoshop CS6 pre-release build and Public Beta build shares the same Trial license (with little variation).
Once the Trail has expired there is no way to get it back. User can enter Serial Number and start using Photoshop CS6 again.
User Jason.slack15:
Photoshop CS6 Trial license has started on date 2012-01-10 and expired on date 2012-04-09 which is fine and expected. This is confirmed from the following log statements-
2012-01-10 11:44:00 [3292] SLCoreService: Query license: type = 1, duration = 90 days, remaining = 90 day(s) 0 seconds.
2012-04-09 14:09:43 [3360] SLCoreService: Query license: type = 1, duration = 90 days, remaining = expired.
Once the Trail has expired there is no way to get it back. User can enter Serial Number and start using Photoshop CS6 again.
Thanks and happy to help,

Photoshop CS6 Not Loading: Actions & Preferences Errors

Photoshop CS6 has been working like a dream, and recently it has pushed some very large files.
But, upon trying to open Photoshop this morning, I get these two messages:
Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
Could not initialize Photoshop because the Preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted).
          - although the file was still in the AppData...Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings.
Tried to 'restore' Preferences:
Keyboard - CTRL ALT SHFT upon clicking PSD icon
Said 'Yes' to allow changes to system
Still received same two messages
Removed the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp
          Restarted Photoshop, still received same two messages.
          Tried resetting, CTL ALT SHFT, again still same two messages.
Read Adobe thread to 'rename' the Actions Palette.psp, but keep it in the folder:
I renamed it 'renamed' and left the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp in the folder as well.
Did not receive the 'load actions' error, but
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Tried CTRL ALT SHFT to reset,
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Left the Actions as 'renamed', but removed the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp file as well.
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Tried CTRL ALT SHFT to reset,
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Do I need to do a re-install?
Thanks bunches,

I am having only the single issue:
Could not initialize Photoshop because preferences files was invalid (it has been deleted).
What happened was that I had to do a force quit (Mac OSX 10.8.4) due to Spotlight and Parallels Win 7 running a system slowdown.   I don't believe my new HD is corrupted. BUt there has to be a way to get PShop working again.. I've tried shift start and not loading 3rd party plugins, but nothing is working.
UPDATE: Download and reinstall fixed it after uninstalling and removing preferences. However, you can't use the CC Applications Manager to do so. You have to do a direct download.

Delete Photoshop CS6 beta

hi,
I just subscribed to Creative Cloud. The Adobe Application Manager (for Mac) refuses to download Photoshop CS6 because it finds a beta version of that application on the machine. This was originally so. But I have uninsalled and deleted that. How to get the application downloaded and installed?
thanks
John Stevenson

-- OK, I solved this issue. It is not sufficient to do the uninstall of the beta per Apple's procedure alone - you have to use the Adobe utility (in the Adobe Installers folder in the Utilities folder) to get this done.

Photoshop CS6 (mac release version) is FREAKING OUT on external screen

Is it just me having this problem?
When I use Photoshop CS6 (released version) on my brand new MBP17 everything is just fine.
Then I pull it to my connected Cinema Display and everything FREAKS OUT.
Every pixel inside the imagewindow is distorted, is flickering etc.
When I pull it back to the MBP screen all is fine. Pull to the Cinema Display again and the freakshow starts anew...
Wth is going on? No updates are available.
Any other application, including every CS5.5 applications works fine when viewing them on my Cinema Display...
Sigh...

OSX10.7.3
MBP17 - AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
Btw the pixel errors start when I maximize the window on the Cinema Display. Forgot to write that.
But even if I dont maximize the window is unresponsive and I can't zoom or do anything when Photoshop 6 is sitting - even unmaximized - on the Cinema Display.
If I pull it back to the MBP 17 screen everything starts working again...

Photoshop (CS6 on Mac) file is locked.

After changing preferences, plug in views, etc I get a message the file is locked and changes won't be saved. Even after unlocking, adding myself as user with read/write priveleges, changes are not saved when PS is closed.
Help??

First thing to do is to trash your preferences while you re-launch Photoshop:
Preferences files vary by name and location for each version of Photoshop. Use this document to find or re-create preferences files for Photoshop CS6.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.
Then Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, and relaunch Photoshop.

Lightroom won't open photoshop CS6.. Edit in Photoshop doesn't work

Lightrrom 4.2 can't use the right click, "edit in" photoshop CS6. I have tried edit, preferences, and created a Preset and pointed it to the CS6 photoshop.exe... still a no-go. Help!!!

I had this problem. You must run Lightroom as administrator - even if the account you are in has administrator priviliges.
Test if this is the problem you are having by opening lightroom in administrator mode:
Open Windows explorer and navigate to where the lightroom.exe file is located.
Usualy in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4
Right click on lightroom.exe and select "Run as administrator" from the pop up menu.
Test by selecting a photo and selecting the "Edit in Adobe photoshop CS6" option.
If this works then close lightroom and go back to the "lightroom.exe" folder location,
rightclick on the lightroom.exe file but select "properties", then select the "compatibility" tab and
select "change settings for all users" button.
A box called compatibility for all users should appear, at the bottom there is a checkbox "privilige level"
make sure the "run this program as administrator is checked".
Close lightroom and reopen it.
Hope this helps.

Help with Nikon D600 NEF files, CS6, and ACR 7.3 beta

I have been unable to open NEF files from my Nikon D600 in Photoshop CS6, and ACR 7.3 beta. Any suggestions/guidance would be much appreciated.
RAW was set to 14 bit color, but I can't see that that would matter?

From discussion with others, it would appear that the files were corrupted during transfer.
I have some suggestions that I will try tomorow.
I have no problems opening old Nikon D700 NEF files in Photoshop CS6, and when ACR opens the file it indicates I'm using ACR 7.3 beta.
Regards,
Erich

Photoshop CS6 Layer via Copy Question

Hi,
I've noticed that when a selection is Layer via Copyed in Photoshop CS6, it appears brighter and slightly more saturated in color than the original selection it came from. Currently I manually make lighting and color adjustments to match it back to the original, but is there a way to prevent this altogether? There are no masks or adjustment layers or any other tools being used when this happens -- just a simple Layer via Copy.
I'm not sure if there is a setting that will help cut out that time consuming manual step of retouching to match the original selection, but any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

There shouldn't be any difference if it's just layer via copy in the same document.
What operating system are you using?
Is photoshop cs6 up to date?
(Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6)
Could you post a screenshot(s) showing the difference and your layers panel?

FAQ: What are the known issues so far in Photoshop CS6 Beta

APPLICATION COEXISTENCE
Lightroom 4 Beta + Photoshop CS6 beta -- Editing the same video file simultanously in both applications may result in an error, crash, or blank (transparent) frames. You might see this Photoshop error: "Could not complete the Render Video command because of a problem with Adobe Media Encoder".
This will only be an issue with Lightroom 4 beta and Photoshop CS6 beta on the same system, editing the same video. The released versions will not have this issue.
Workaround: Upgrade to LR Release version (even if it's just the trial), or don't open the same file in both apps at the same time.
CS5 Help fails to launch after install of CS6
Workaround: Launch the stand alone "Adobe Help" application or reinstall CS5
CROP
Crop action shows wrong crop box.Playing an action with a crop step that has dialogs turned on results in a crop box that covers the entire canvas instead of the expected area.
Workaround: Ensure that the Crop Tool is selected before running the action or disable dialogs for the action.
FILTERS
(32bit OS only) Initial "Merge to HDR Pro" image display and result is black until settings are changed
Workaround: It will remain black until droplist in the "mode" line is selected, changed and activated, then action appears to be normal.
Bokeh color is different from preview after render at certain zoom levels on particular image patterns
Workaround: View image at 100%
Lighting effects bump map generates artifacts if an alpha channel bump map is used. The resulting preview and final image is artifacted across the gradiated areas of the alpha channel.
Workaround: Do not use a gradiated alpha channel as a bump map
Liquify will perform the filter and save to just part of the photo if you click cancel while it is "finishing processing" a large file.
LAYERS
If a vector layer has a center-aligned stroke combined with an inside-aligned layer style stroke, then that vector layer's stroke may not display correctly -- part of the vector layer stroke will disappear as the layer is moved around the image.
Workaround: Use the "Path Selection Tool" to move your vector around -- alternatively, Change the stroke alignment or remove underlying layers.
Dragging a selection box while layer filters are applied stops marquee selection from following cursor movement
Workaround: Even though the graphic of the selection marquee stops, the selection still happens. OR Turn off layer filtering before targeting the layers using a selection box
TYPE
Editing text attributes in the Character panel when the layer is locked can result in a crash
Workaround: Unlock your text layer prior to attribute adjustments in the Character panel
Setting the menu type>font>preview size to "huge" after opening a saved file caused photoshop to crash
Workaround: Uncheck Background save in Photoshop CS6
Style by example or definition not working as expected:
If any attribute in the Paragraph Panel is set and you create a new Paragraph Style, the new style is based on the default and the override is not cleared.
DRAWING AND PAINTING
Paint is offset with Grip Pen- if you select the Soft Low Density Airbrush Preset with Grip Pen paint with swicth facing right with a high tilt towards you the cursor shows the spray should be going up, but it sprays down.
3-D
Creating a video timeline and rendering video from two 3D layers may not include ground plane reflections
Workaround: Use mesh for ground plane instead of 3D engines construct, or duplicate the file and remove the keyframes
Creating a New background texture after changing lighting presets results in crash
Workaround: Create the New background texture prior to adjusting lighting presets
Unable to create a constraint on extruded object with Pillow Inflate setting applied. Further actions may result in Photoshop instability or crash.
Photoshop may crash when trying to align/distribute constraints from selections of two 3-D extruded objects
Photoshop may not always save a texture when you paint directly onto the 3d object using Paint on Target Texture setting.
Photoshop may crash when selecting a different panel filter after the focus has been on 2 fields in the environment flyout with IBL map present
Photoshop may crash after embedding a 3D layer into a layer group, creating a new 3d object in the group, and then closing the document.
When changing the color of the lines or points in the 3D scene cross section from the Properties panel, side b color overwrites the color in side A.
Program Error when adjusting fill value in Layers panel while in Lighting Effects workspace.
Workaround:You will have to use opacity slider instead of fill slider to pull back the lighting effect
PLUGINS
DUPLICATE PLUGINS CAUSE ISSUES ON MAC:
If you install duplicate plugins or point the additional plugins folder preferences to a duplicate set of plugins (such as, to an older version of Photoshop), then it is possible for odd Photoshop behavior, such as an inappropriate file extension to appear when saving files.
(example: while performing a "save as" to JPEG file type, the file format appears to change to .dcm)
In this case, there may be a duplicate "file formats" plugin that's populating the Save As file types list with duplicates of the same options.
If there are duplicate file format plugins installed, the Mac OS will remove the duplicates from the list, but you may still see the odd saving behavior.
Solution:
Remove the duplicate plugins.
If you are not sure if you have this issue, but are seeing odd behavior, you can check for duplicates by looking through the plugins listed in the Help > System Info dialog.
Bridge
Unable to Copy and Paste in File info in Bridge
Workaround: Typing info in Manually works, or copy and paste work in Photoshop's File Info dialog
Install
Adobe Setup Utility may quit, or error during install. You may see error: "Exit Code: 15"
Workaround: Create a folder named 'Templates' at "<Windows drive>:\Users\<current user login id>\AppData\Roaming\Micorsoft\Windows\"
Message saying trial of PS CS6 beta expired,Content coming soon, stay tuned.
Workaround: re-launch photoshop CS6 beta. This issue should not happen anymore

1. You can get full support for your camera by upgrading to Lightroom 4. But personally, I would wait for Lightroom 5 since it will be released shortly, probably within the next month. Lightroom 5 will work with Photoshop CS5. The only difference is that Lightroom will need to create a TIF or PSD file that contains all the changes you have made in Lightroom. That's not a big deal, in my opinion. That file has to be created at some point anyway whenever you use Photoshop.
2. Yes, Lightroom 4 will pass images back and forth between it and Photoshop.
3. The upgrade would not break Lightroom 3. It would essentially work the same as it does with your current setup.
4. If you purchase CS6 it is my understanding you will be allowed to use it indefinitely. This is not true of the Creative Cloud version. Support and updating for additional cameras will cease for CS6. Adobe has announced that they will make Camera Raw 8.1 so that it can be usable with CS6 as far as reading Lightroom adjustments. But any new controls will not be accessible.
5. So far, Adobe has indicated that they have no plans to making Lightroom a subscription-only offering.
You are asking your questions as though you are addressing Adobe directly. This is a User-to-user forum. I don't work for nor do I speak for Adobe. I am only giving you the information as I understand it. It seems to me that upgrading to Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 is a "safe" choice. None of us, not even Adobe, really knows what the future will bring. Technology changes so quickly anymore that everything we are doing right now could be obsolete in a matter of a very short period of time. As Adobe changes their marketing strategies I think it will probably motivate some people to look elsewhere. I have Photoshop CS6 and I'm going to upgrade to Lightroom 5. Then I will have to wait and see what develops after that. At any rate, I have tools that I can use for the foreseeable future. If I have to change at some point then I will do so.
