Photoshop CS6 temp memory problems
Hi,
My name is George,
I'm working as a web-designer. I heard about new features in Photoshop cs6, like paragraph/character styles (something very good for web-designers).
And tried those new features, works perfectly, but i found a big problem.
When we are working in Photoshop, it instantly creates a PhotoshopTemp file in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp, and when I tried to create new paragraphs styles or character styles the memory of that temp files is increasing until your partition memory is not filed at all, for example at that moment in my C:\ partition I had about 3GB free memory, initially the PhotoshopTemp file had about 200MB, but when I tried to create a new paragraph style, temp file size increased up to 3.2GB, consuming all my C:\ drive free memory
If you have any ideas, please help me...

Not even remotely!
Figure on needing 35 to 70 times as much Photoshop scratch disk space—or more—as the size of your largest open file. Multiply that by the number of files you keep open, and add a bunch of GBs for the swap files of the OS.
Additionally, a good rule of thumb is not to let any drive get more than 75%–80% full.
The poster above who replied to your post is not just any Adobe employee, but a top Adobe engineer who has been writing Photoshop code for 16 years or longer. You'll be wise not to dismiss his advice.
Whatever your machine is, it's not adequate for a working web designer.

Photoshop CS6 spot channel problems
When I save a file created in Photoshop CS6 that has SPOT color channels it is converting the SPOT color channels to ALPHA channels when my customers are opening them into an older version of Photoshop. This has never been a problem with earlier versions of Photoshop.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?
I don't know if it is a bug in CS6 or it is a setting or something I am not finding. I have never had to set anything before this version and I have been through anything I could think of to try & discover something, but no luck.
Any help would be really appreciated as this can't keep happening. I have had to be on the phone walking them through the steps to convert the ALPHA channels back to SPOT channels but do not have the time nor should I expect my customer to have to do it.
Running Windows 7
Help please!- Thank youI'm having the same issues and it seems this just started happening after the most recent update because this wasn't happening for the last couple months I've had CS6. Not only that I actually lost 4 hours of work after it didn't save the spot channels at all and just saved the original image (it's technically supposed to be impossible to do this without making a copy). On top of that now when my clients try to open my PSD files in previous versions it says they do not have the correct color books even though I'm not using spot colors (this did not happen before the update. I've sent several files in the past couple weeks). I'm not sure what they did recently but it really screwed things up.
I'd like to know if anyone has a work around for the color book problem short of asking my clients to buy and install the new color books. I'm having to send the spots as EPS DCS files, so they can open it. It's always a headache when you upgrade and none of your clients do. Why can't they make this stuff work backwards? -
Photoshop Cs6 ME Type problems!!
i have a Photoshop cs6 ME on my imac.
since i have installed mavericks and after that yosemite i have a lot of problem with the type and text tools at photoshop.
1. photoshop is very slow and always stuck when i work with a document that a text is included or involved.
2. when i open a psd template (based on english) that i have download from the internet and try to add text layer - it wont let me write normally at hebrew and all the text is written in the opposite direction!!
What shell I do?
Please help me!The first thing is to avoid that template and create the document from scratch.
Since the template you are using is "based on English" it may already contain the preference to write from left to right.
I understand you to say that the text direction is correct on documents you create.
As for the Yosemite performance problems, you may well be hitting some of the many bugs Apple hasn't yet been able to fix. Not much Adobe can do about that but keep pressuring Apple to fix their OS. -

Photoshop CS6 Text leading problem
Hi!
Problem with text editing in Photoshop CS6. Here's an image - a compare between CS3.
In CS6 in editing text mode when select all text & use Alt + keyboard "down" I have too big jumping values of leading. It's really make uncomfortable work to exactly adjustment spacing between the lines in text blocks :(((((....
In CS3 wasn't this problem, everything was excellent with leading & very comfortable work
Is there any fix this problem?
p.s.
OS - windows 7 64 bit
cs6 - 64 bit extended
cs3 - 64 bit extendedhmmm... I really didn't understnand.....
I just checked it again in CS6:
1. Wrote down text in 3 lines...for instance
2. Select all (Crtl+A)
3. Keep Alt and use keyboard arrows "up" & "down", situation was the same - leading values jumping like 30pt - 44pt - 58 pt.....
Than I wanted to check it on CS5. In CS5 values changing through 2pt: 30 - 32 - 34 etc. Good!...
Than I run CS6 again and did the same.... and....DAMN IT!!....It starts to work I wanted!!!!... Fantastic!!!
Now...I'm in perplexity...a little..... What it was..... I didn't any changes ... not in general preferences...not in text preferences in character palette..... May be it's new any feature & I don't know about it yet....or...may be it bug.....or may be some preferences crosses between different verses of CS?
WIll use it more times and looking....
p.s. now I decide to reload OS and check again & post results later...
p.s.2 ...befor reloading....opened old psd....made in CS3 & tried to change leading in text blocks - it jumped through 10pt........ mmmm ...it looks like CS6 not correctly work with old files (that were made in cs3 for example).... It's not clear for me yet....what problem in -

Adobe Pixelbender / Photoshop CS4 graphics / memory problems
I have been using my 4 year old MacBook Pro for rendering images (using the GPU) with a special pixelbenderscript and stitching these images together with photoshop CS4.
With mybrand new MacBook Pro, suddenly I get erratic behaviour when rendering the images, the whole screen gets covered with a mix of the image and parts of the desktop/application.
The next problem is the stiching of the images in PS CS4, where I get a "out of RAM" message where my old MacBook Pro did the work just fine (and I have 4GB RAM now, before only 3).
Is this a known issue? Any solution?
Regards
JohanGo to this site and download the 9.9 driver set. The 9.5 driver set had a streaming problem that had to be fixed with a hotfix. I have the 4870 also and the 9.9 drivers are stable and have no issues with PS CS4 on vista 64 bit.
http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx
Sometimes it is better not to change drivers if you don't have issues. But the 9.5 set has issues.
Make sure you un-install the old drivers. When you click on the Icon and start the install it will unpack as normal but you will come upon a screen to install or uninstall. Choose uninstall to remove the old driver package. Reboot. Then click on the icon again, it will unpack and you will get the screen again so choose install. Reboot after install.
If I remember correctly the 9.5 drivers, after install, did not show the reboot screen. You still have to reboot.

I appologize if this or a similar question has been answered previously, but after some searching I haven't been able to find a solution to my issue. So I run PS CS6 with the default swatches working in the painting workspace on WIndows 7. The swatches usually looked like this:
However when I opened my file to work on today the panel suddenly looked as follows:
I am not sure how or why this changed happened, I didn't make any changes to my preferences at all. Yesterday when I had the file open the swatches were as above and today they look like the second image. I tried resetting the swatches to default replacing the current panel, but it just resets to this order. I have even deleted the swatches.psp file in users/appdata/roaming/adobe/etc... and photoshop still opens to this order of colors. I've even gone as far as resetting all photoshop preferences to no avail. I can't figure out for the life of me how to get it back to the way it was originally. It's not a huge deal but I find it extremely annoying as I've gotten used to working with the default swatches panel order.
So if anyone knows how I can reset my swatches panel so they look as they originally did above I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance.Nothing really changed other than the width of the swatches palette because it is grouped with other palettes that are wider than it's minimum size. All the colors are still there, in the same order.

Photoshop CS6 file extension problem
I want to choose an file extension in the "Save as" Dialog. If i choose Jpeg, Photoshop takes EPS and so on. Systemupdate and reinstall PS does not help.
My System: Mac OS X 10.6.8Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem. -
Photoshop CS6 color flow problem
Hey there!
I have returned once again to these forums because I seek help with Photoshop. I haven't used PS in a few months so it might be just me not remembering the correct settings OR a technical problem, but I seem to be having problem with color flow...
Here's what happens: Whenever I select a normal hard brush and try to paint with it the color flow stays the same and only becomes noticeable at around 20%, merely on the edges of the brush. On top of that the color values stay the same in the middle of the line I draw when flow is between 100% and 10%. I've tested and confirmed this with eyedropper tool.
However if I just click with the brush and don't drag it along the canvas the flow works just fine anywhere between 100% and 1%. Because of this it's impossible to mix colors on screen and shade artwork properly. I don't know if I need to check/uncheck certain settings, but I can't seem to find a reason why it's acting like this, nor can I fix this on my own. Could there be a problem with my tablet?
I really hope someone can help me with this. I've searched the internet for answers but couldn't find any so my last resort was to write on official Adobe forums. Thanks in advance for taking your time and reading my post.
Have a nice day!
Jerry
P.S. I've made a simple diagram to show you my problem and included it in an image below:This worked in a way... I did exactly what you wrote, I changed the spacing to 100%(or more) and now the color flow is definitely noticeable no matter what it's value in % is, but my brush stroke turns into a series of connected dots.. I remember reducing the spacing from a default value of 25% to 1% on all of my brushes exactly because of this.
If I turn the spacing back down and below 100% to a more reasonable value the dots will start to overlap and the brush stroke will become smoother, but the color flow will become less and less visible as the % of the spacing decreases.
This is the solution I've come up with: In order to compensate for the visible overlapping at larger brush sizes AND keep the color flow functioning I increased the document resolution a few times and then pressed Control + 0 to fit the canvas on my screen. When you have a big canvas the large brush becomes much smaller and you can't really see the overlapping anymore, while still being able to maintain control of the flow of color.
But is that really the only way?
Also, what would you say is the optimal spacing value? -
I have Photoshop CS6 and having problems since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10?
It is slower and the lasso tools don't work as well as before
First, report problems with MacOS 10.10 to Apple so they can get the information they need to solve the problems introduced in MacOS 10.10.
Second, make sure FileVault is off (a few people have seen performance problems with it on). -
Photoshop CS6 Layer selection problem
In a layerd PSD file when trying to move the content of a layer with a mouse upon clicking in the work space my selected layer becomes unselected and the layer that I have my mouse over becomes seleted and tries to move that layer instead. Trying to move the layer with up and down and left and right works fine. I also have PS5.1 and it works fine. This is quite frustrating. Don't see anything in preferences about layer selection.
Disable autoselect in the Options Bar for the Move Tool.
