Photoshop CS6 Stand alone bugs

I continue to have some issues with Photoshop CS6. I was wondering if now is the time to uninstall and reinstall. My created shortcuts will not work, now I am having problems with my Kubota Dashboard. The Action side of the program works but the Bor-Tex, texture side encounters a problem that says this "General Photoshop error occurred. This functionaity may not be available in this version of Photoshop. The object"current document" is not currently available. I know that I have used the Bor-Tex with CS6 before and all went well but now it is just another problem.
Help

The forums are acting strange, so first let's reboot your PC. Log in as Administrator.
Uninstall Photoshop CS6 from the Control Panel, and checkmark Remove Preferences.
Then to be sure, download and run the cleaner tool so we don't have any remnants interfering with your reinstall.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Look through the instructions before running the Tool and when you are comfortable with it, run the Cleaner.
Reinstall. If you don't trust your discs (sometimes they go bad) download the Photoshop CS6 installer here.
Download CS6 products and have your serial number ready. If this is an upgrade, the serial from a qualifying product CS4 or CS5 will be needed.
I would also ask you to turn off any Anti-virus programs before installing, but you may wish to disconnect from the Internet before you do that. That's up to you.
That should remove all doubt.

Are there any reported conflicts of CS6 (Stand-alone) with other Non-Adobe Software Programs?

I just downloaded a trial version of CS6 (standalone) 64 bit for my Imac 27" 3.06 dual (OS 10.8.1) 4 GB Ram.
I tried it, and then closed down to compare it to anothernon-Adobe program.
As soon as I tried to open a file image in this other program, I could';t open the other program.
I kept getting that bothersome Apple notice where you write a note, send it, and reopnen the software.
This happened over and over,until I decided to uninstall CS6 and reboot my IMac.
The problem with the other Non-Adonbe software disappeared, and that program functioned as beofre.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
I prefer not to mention the other porogram, but that company has been notified as well.
Thanks.

Hi Chris & John,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
What I'm going to try and do is upload CS6 extended (Photoshop - stand alone) if I can.
The other program is a commerical (paid with a serial number) called Fluid Mask 3.
Is there a possibility that CS6 can create a problem with OS 10.8.1, which then interferes with my other program?
If I can re-load CS6 extended, and I get the same problem, what I'll do is screencapture the "issue" that Apple OS 10.8.1 said I had,
and attach only a portion of the key parts to a reply here.

I reopened the case for there was no fix Adobe contacted me and told me it would be fixed is some future release of Photoshop and once again case # 181675168 was closed over my objection.
I was vocal about Adobe poor excuse for support in forums. I then was contacted by Jeff Tranberry of Adobe he was asked to contact me by John Nack to see if he could change me. We exchanged some e-mails ending with Jeff writing unfortunately, you issues has been deemed low impact and has been deferred.
May 7, 2012 I called Adobe to find out if this bug was fixed in Photoshop for I did not want to buy CS6 if the Bug was not fixed. After about an hour on the phone talking to many Adobe employees including Adobe Support referenced case # 181675168 log as Bug # 2737069. I was told the bug was not in CS6. So I ordered CS6. FedX dropped off Today I installed it only to find the bug introduced is CS4 reported in CS5 is still in CS6.
Adobe when will you fix this bug # 2737069????

CS5 Action Feature Bug
NOTES & RESPONSES

CS5 has a bug recording and playing Actions that add Adjustments layers. Old actions recorded before CS5 and actions recorded with CS5 may or may not Play/Work correctly.
Before there was an Adjustment Panel all Adjustment Layers were added applied to all layers and you needed to clip them after the were added if you wanted it clipped. The new adjustment panel made it possible to add a adjustment layer clipped to the current layer. However a clipping parameter is not recorded by the action recorder just the type and setting are recorded.
When a make adjustment layer step is play it is either clipped or not depending on the state of the adjustment panel's clipping icon. If it not in the same state as it was when the action was recorded it will be add incorrectly. It would also be impossible to create an action that added some adjust layer clipped and others that are not.
I feel the is a serious bug which needs to be addressed. I believe the solution is simple and even old actions will also work.
Two patches are needed.
One in the Action recorder. If the step being recorded is make adjustment layer and the adjustment panel icon state is clip to layer this needs to be recorded in the action step record. If the layer is to be applied nothing extra needs to be recorded in the step record just leave it as is like actions prior to the adjustment panel.
The second patch in the Action Player. If the step that is about to execute is a make adjustment layer. The Player needs to save away the state of the adjustment panel icon. Then check the adjustment step record to see if it is to be clipped. If so set the adjustment panel icon to the clipping state else set it to the all layers state. Then do/call the add adjustment layer function/routine on return restore the adjustment panels icon from the saved state. Proceed to the next step.
I have been trying to report the bug for days. Please at least acknowledge you received my bug report.
Thanks

I consulted your knowledge base and I called customer support. This bug has not been listed. Custom support had me fill out a bug report at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm? name=wishform which I did but that was not even acknowledged. I demonstrated the bug to customer support by sharing my screen.
As for you forums for some reason the forum web site states my Adobe ID is disabled so I can not append or start a thread there id screen name jjmack. I created a new Adobe ID yesterday [email protected] that to seems to be disabled or I can not come up with any screen name the is availably I have tried many. Every simple or outlandish name I have entered generates the same message screen name not available. I'm at my wits end I've been using Photoshop since Photoshop version 3. Over the years it seems to get harder and harder to communicate with Adobe....

simpler then I first thought. Upon more investigation this is what I see.
I skipped CS4 and when I installed CS5 I discovered a nasty bug had been introduced is Photoshop's Action facility most likely in CS4.
Action that add adjustment Layers clipped to the current layer that step is recorded Make adjustment layer with Clip.
Action that add adjustment Layers not clipped Step records as Make adjustment layer.
When a step Make adjustment layer with Clip is played back that is what Photoshop does.
When a step Make adjustment layer is played back what Photoshop does is look at the adjustment panel clipping icon state and and if it is clip to current layer Photoshop does clip the adjustment layer to the current when is should be applied to all.
Many of the actions I have created add adjustment layer applied to all then later clip them to the current layer. These actions generate an error message if the Adjustment panel clipping icon is set to clip. Because the layer get added clipped clipping it is not available. The strange thing is the layer is clipped the way I wanted it to be. But actions I recorded where I want the adjustment to apply to all are clipped and the is no error message just wrong results.

Create a one step action that add an adjustment layer that applies to all layers.
Play that action with the icon in the adjustment panel is set to apply to all layers. Change the status of that icon to clip to layer and play the action again.
You will find the first adjustment layer was added correctly apply to all layers like it was recorded the second adjustment was added clipped to layer when it should be applied to all...

July 2 Adobe support called me once again they share my display and I demonstrated the bug for a second time. This time the stated they were recording my demo. After I demonstrated the bug they put me on hold for a while. Upon returning they informed me that there was still no circumvention or fix for this problem. They wanted to know if I was at the latest software level they were still sharing my display so I did a Photoshop Help About Photoshop to show I had the latest update Photoshop version 12.0.1. Told me they were not capable of handling this problem and would have to refer this to senior technical support that they would determine if it was a bug. What a joke Adobe junior technical support can not even recognize a bug when it has been demonstrated to them on two occasions now and also received several case update from me. Adobe you need better support personal.

Hi John ,
Thank you for getting back to us.
I would like to apologize for the delay in providing you a faster resolution to your issue and appreciate your patience with us.
I would like to inform you that your issue has been logged as bug so the workaround is obviously to make sure the clip to layer is not enabled prior to running any of these actions.Also my Product Team and Engineering Team are working on this issue you can use the work around as mentioned above.
This should resolve your issue. If it does, please let us know, however in case it does not; please revert with any new information that you might want to add which will help us in resolving your issue.

Any work around does not solve my problem. Thousands have downloaded my actions. There is no way that I can contact them to make the aware of any work around. I can code around this bug but again I have no way to get the update to those that have downloaded my actions for they are free. All that is logged is the number of downloads. No registration is required so there is no way to contact the users that downloaded my actions. The problem will only be resolved when adobe updates Photoshop and fixes the problem.

This case should not be closed till there is a fix for this bug. How can Adobe Support close a bug report when Adobe acknowledges its a bug where Adobe Support does not provide a fix. Blowing smoke with statements like "if in the future a resolution or fix is possible, it will be available from the Adobe Systems product update web site". Photoshop CS3 work correctly Adobe broke the Action Player in CS4 and its still broken is CS5. "if a fix is possible!"!!! Are you joking? What kind of support is that? Do you get a bonus for closing bug reports without fixing the bug? Does it make you look good inside Adobe. I can tell you from the outside there is a foul stench emulation from Adobe Technical Support.

Dear John ,
Thank you for getting back to us with the required information and we appreciate your patience in helping us to resolve your issue as soon as possible.
I would suggest you to please go to through the KB document to move actions from Photoshop CS4 to CS5 given below :
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86020.html
Please make sure about the loaction of actions which you created or saved in Photoshop CS4, go to that location and make sure you have all the actions there.
Did it ever work in Photoshop CS5?
Try to make a copy of the action that he is trying to run, remove the 'Hide' command and re-record hide in PS CS5, put it into the action, and see if that works.
Or try making a short action along with Hide command . If this works, then something might have got changed between the version.

Photoshop CS6 Undo Resize bug?

I notice in CS6 (13.0.1 for Windows) if I size an image down (to let's say 200x200) and then Undo, the image is the original size again but the window frame is still 200x200 (or whatever), and I then have to either drag the frame larger or click the 'Actual Pixels' button to reframe it. CS2 never used to do that and it's annoying as I resize a lot. Is there anything I can do about this?

I suggest giving the Tabbed view a try for one full week. It will seem painful at first, but stick with it. There are advantages.
Like you, WAY back when Photoshop CS4 first came out I was loathe to use the new tabbed view, thinking that I really liked managing my documents in separate windows. For a long time I configured Photoshop CS4 to not open documents in tabs, using the windowed view.
But I always felt that I was paddling a bit against the current - not the way Adobe would rather I use Photoshop.
As it turns out, a problem with a particular plug-in - Genuine Fractals - in which it absolutely would not work properly in windowed view but would work okay in tabbed view, caused me to make what I thought then was a temporary change.
After a week or two, against all odds, and certainly unexpectedly, tabbed view began to grow on me. Long story short, I've never switched back. I've used Photoshop every day since (and I mean literally every day, sometimes all day) using tabbed view.
It's not evil. And it has some advantages.
You're probably thinking, "I'm not like that, I won't be able to stand it".
I thought that too. Try it.

Photoshop CS6 Extended NAG bug

Why is my PAID for and LICENCED version of PS CS6 STILL throwing up that blasted PS Extended trial screen? I have read about this before, and I thought that it had been fixed. I OWN my PS CS6, I PAID for it. I have NEVER wanted or downloaded the Extended vesion. Why am I getting pestered about this? I DON'T WANT IT. I have re-registered my LEGAL copy of CS6 numerous times now. My version is up to day..Ver 13.0.1, I am sick of this now. I have PAID for this programme..it is mine, and I don't want Extended version.

Hi Jeff...yes, that is the same error screen.

I joined the cloud, but did not see any of the new bells and whistles in photoshop CS6

I joined the cloud today and was looking forward to the new stuff in photoshop. I currently own CS6 stand alone. I opened an image and none of the new options(advanced sharpening, bridge as a filter, etc) were there. I did click update when on the photoshop CS6 app when I downloaded a couple of the new apps. What should I do to get a version of CS6 that has all of the advancements???

I have it solved. I know about the update for Lightroom in June, but the cloud version of photoshop has plenty of new features and "bells & whistles". I had a plain vanilla photoshop CS6 that I purchased a year ago. I updated to the cloud yesterday and the only action available for Photoshop was update. I did & it was the same old plain vanilla... no 3D( I didn't have extended), liquify and blur gallery could not be used with smart filters, etc., etc. I was supposed to get that with the cloud. I figured it out during a restless night. I uninstalled CS6, opened the application manager and reinstalled the CS6. Then I went into the help menu of the new extended version(3d now) and updated. I now have all of the new features and "bells & whistles" I was supposed to get when upgrading to the cloud. I am sure there are others in the same boat or will be soon. Adobe should see about correcting this in some way. Complete upgraded version should be available after one pushes the upgrade, even if they have a lesser version(non-extended) available.

Will Lightroom stay a stand alone product?

I have to say that I am very disappointed with the whole CC concept. Actually that is not quite true I don't mind if a company wants to offer a subscription service - I just don't want my software that way. I have no desire to pay for software as a subscription. I want to buy the products I want and have the right to use them for as long as I want. So, the fact that Adobe is going to stop offering upgrades to Photoshop as stand alone product is disappointing and means I will be staying with CS5.
But more importantly if the plan is to make Lightroom available only as a subscription then I need to start planning a transition now. I realize Lightroom is currently going to be sold as a stand alone product. I am worried about the future. Can Adobe make some kind of statement about their intentions? I get that they cannot predict the far future but I would like some indication that the sky is not going to fall next year.

I agree with the Op and Mr Electron et al.
Remember Adobe is primarily a marketing company these days, with LR, CS et al their product. What (you might think) Adobe says today does not always match what Adobe will do tomorrow.
I have spent quite a lot of money on LR and Photoshop/CS over the last 10-12 years, not missing a release, keen to upgrade as early as possible (including Betas). But that has been at my time of choosing & if/when I felt I could afford it or felt the software was at a stable enough level because you can't accuse Adobe of going over board on releasing bug-free or even bug-lite software. (The thought of frequent update from Adobe is actually quite scary, all that time spent sorting the mess out ! )
But I have absolutely no desire to, and WILL NOT, use a subscription service/ cloud for this software be it CS or LR.
It definitely looks to me that its the way they're moving. I feel this way because it not just about what they say its about what they don't say. They are not saying it will not happen, only that no decision has been made - which could easily be deferred final decision until feedback on CS changes have had time to be measure. It quite legitimate (business-sense) marketing approach. It means you can give an honest answer - 'not in the foreseeable future, no decision taken' - whilst still knowing with almost certainty what the decision will be.
So, as I've 30,000 or so photos, I'm starting now to look at the alternatives, as even with such a modest number it will still take time to work out how easiest (and cheapest) to transfer to something else. And also to come to terms with what I will lose. But better now than when I have 40,000 or 50,000 photos.
Sad days, but it was fun while it lasted

Adobe CS 6 Master Collection Stand Alone won't run

Purchased CS6 (Stand Alone) upgrade from CS5. Program calls up a Creative Cloud Notice requiring subscription renewal.

Thank you for your reply.
The removal of Adobe CC was already done when contract with Adobe expired. Called 800-443 8158 for technical support. Gave them remote access to my computer. We removed a CC version of Adobe Acrobat, Uninstalled Adobe CS6 , while reinstalling CS6 the wireline to tech support lost the connection (I was cut off). They didn't call me back or even e-mail me. So I am on my own with your help. Already found that Adobe help referencing the CC Cleaner Tool and downloaded the application. Read the instructions but was reluctant to use it lest I have problems with a working version of CS5. Seems that Adobe is so obsessed with getting customers into Creative Cloud that they failed to give instruction for stand alone users in their Creative Cloud dialog box. Just for grins I selected "Have a Different Adobe ID?" option (already established my ID years ago). A new dialog box appears asking for a serial number. Copied and pasted my serial number then I think I got a thank you from Adobe and like magic all my new CS 6 software is now validated and working. Hope this is of help for others who are done with Digital Subscriptions like Adobe Creative Cloud. I hope Adobe will give us stand alone users a break when it comes to technical support. I don't want to be creative in a cloud.

Why when I install a stand alone trial version of Photoshop CS6 I get extended installation?

Why when I install a stand alone trial version of Photoshop CS6 I get extended installation? I want only CS6.

Hi Ilya Nazarenko,
We would like to inform you that the installer for both Standard and extended version are same, as trial you get Extended version.
If you have serial number for Photoshop Standard CS6, only then it would turn out to be standard version.

Can I install Photoshop stand alone upgrade and Creative Suite on same machine?

I'd like to be able to install my Photoshop CS6 Upgrade on the same machine as I am running Creative Suite 5.5.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit.
I have one running on a laptop and one on my main machine.. is this possible without conflicts?

Hi Ned
Thanks for the reply.
I have CS5 Photoshop stand alone but it's not installed on same machine as Creative Suite 5.5.. its on a laptop. I use Photoshop mainly but don't want to stuff up my Creative Suite by installing CS6 as well..

How much future useage for CS6 for a stand-alone photographer?

I'm a semi professional small-scale photographer. It's a hobby, but I do some commercial work. It certainly isn't a living (I have other income)
I've been on CS6 for some time. It does absolutely everything that I need, and in fact it's too much. I could do with an application that's somewhere between Lightroom+Elements and CS6. It doesn't exist.
But as I've paid for CS6 I'm quite happy to keep on using it ad infinitum - after all, with no more upgrades (CS7 etc) it's free now! But at a realistic level how long can I run it for, do you think? I run a good spec desktop PC with Windows 7. I use CS6 in 64bit mode, and also Bridge. Assuming my PC fails in 12 months time (it's three years old) I will get a new destop using Windows 8. CS6 will run under Windows 8, so no problems there. My new desktop may last 5 years? That gives me a total of 6 years using CS6.
Of course, there will need to be support from Adobe for CS6, in particular if any significant bugs arise. But why should there be new bugs, unless they are in relation to third-party plugins etc? CS6 has been out for some time. Adobe are not going to change it (they have their head stuck in a cloud) so it shouldn't get broken. Or am I wrong in thinking that?
Any thoughts?

That is the problem you have with any upgrade if you use the new features.
CC is more a trap then an upgrade.
A Photoshop only user is better off staying with CS6 and not be being trap.
While I would prefer to have the new features being added to ACR. I do not need the new improved old features with their new interfaces, new icons and new bugs. These change post processing work flow they only seem to slow user down and make more work for them. I also do not need or want the 3D tools. Photoshop is not a 3D program by design. Photoshop 3D feature is more an add-on and lacks features found in real 3D creation programs.
I want a stable image editor. While CS6 has bugs I know which bugs effect my work and know my way around most. Photoshop CS6 still occasionally crashes from time to time but now on my new machine it only seems to happen in SciptUIFlex and I can use Photoshop for days without a crash. Today was not one of them.
To tell you the truth all upgrade after CS3 have been plagued with bugs. I was not looking forward to having to upgrade to CS7.
It look like CC has its share of bugs too. Though CC seems to be starting off better then CS6 did. While there have been a few dozen bugs reported in Adobe's Photoshop Family problem forum. That is not a large number and most are not problems with CC crashing.

Possible bug in Photoshop CS6 with app.activeDocument.path.

JavaScript running in Photoshop CS6 under OS X 10.7.5 returns the wrong result for app.activeDocument.path when the file is located on the boot drive. The result is undefined and an error message incorrectly states that the document has not been saved yet. If the file is located on a remote volume, the correct path is returned.
To reproduce this problem, create a new file in Photoshop CS6 on a Mac. Save the file to the desktop. With the file still open, run the following script in ExtendScript Toolkit.
// start script
var thePath = app.activeDocument.path;
alert(thePath);
// end script
Running the same script with a file located on a server volume open in Photoshop correctly returns "/path/to/file.psd" instead of undefined and no error occurs.
This appears to be a bug in Photoshop CS6's JavaScript implementation. This problem did not exist in Photoshop CS3.
A similar issue prevents Photoshop CS6 from saving files to the boot drive using activeDocument.saveAs.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, have you discovered an alternate method to determine the file path or save a file on the boot drive?

Don't know if this will help much but at least you can use it to check a document's filepath without throwing an error. And maybe tell if the problem is with the Photoshop DOM.
function hasFilePath(){// returns true/false
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    return executeActionGet(ref).hasKey(stringIDToTypeID('fileReference'));
function getFilePath(){// returns path as a string if exists, undefined if not
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
    if(desc.hasKey(stringIDToTypeID('fileReference'))) return decodeURI(desc.getPath(stringIDToTypeID('fileReference')));

Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer Bug in Photoshop CS6

I noticed that most of the time I cannot copy a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer in Photoshop CS6. (In about a third of all cases it works, in all others I have to create a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer).
Hitting Command + J will cause my Mac to make an error sound.
Option + delete also doesn't work half the time.
Also: I cannot do a "Stamp visible" above a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Hitting Command + Option + Shift + E will bring another error sound.
I have to creat a new layer, and then create a stamp visible. But half the time this doesn't work, either. Hitting Command + Shift + N will give me another error sound.
I have to create a different adjustment layer, then an empty layer, and only then I can create a "stamp visible".
Only Hue/Saturation adjustment layers are affected by this - but it's a true hold-up.

What Mac? What version of OSX? That aside, your issue sounds too exotic to be a genuine bug. Sounds more like some specific combination of settings is preventing this. could be anything from blending tricks to color profiles...
