Photoshop CS6 using an Asus 4K monitor

I have the above monitor and running Photoshop CS6, the tool menus are so small I'm barely able to see them. Is there a fix for this?

UI Scaling for Windows was introduced in Photoshop CC 2014 (just as soon as we could work with Microsoft to fix the OS UI scaling code).

Photoshop CS6 used on an extended desktop

Very strange reactions from Photoshop CS6 when used on my Lenovo ThinkPad in an extended desktop situation. Any attempt to open an image in Photoshop is unsuccessful in showing the actual image, despite the layers box shoing the thumbnail, the "open ifle" text box at the top indicating it is open, and the image details box also indicating correct data for the image file. If I close down extended desktop Photoshop works just fine. If I extend the desktop once Photoshop is running, I can move the open window to the extended desktop and it also works fine. Once I close Photoshop I am back to square one. Any insights appreciated.

That's a pretty solid sign of a display driver problem.
Is your laptop using an Intel GPU? Intel drivers have traditionally been kind of iffy with regard to accelerating Photoshop.
You may be able to find an updated display driver for your setup that gives you better results. Exhaust this possibility first.
Or you might find that Photoshop is made usable by turning off the [ ] Use Graphics Processor setting in Edit - Preferences - Performance. You lose some features with this approach, however.

Can Photoshop Cs6 Use all 12 Cores ?

Hi,
I'm purchasing a new Mac Pro 12 Core Desktop and I was wondering can Cs6 use all 12 cores of the processor ? Also, How much real ram can photoshop use ?
Thanks

You can read about it in this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
The more cores you use, the less you get from each additional core. Therefore, Photoshop doesn’t run four times as fast on a computer with 16 processor cores as on a computer with four cores. For

What will really make a difference apart from RAM and processor is your Hard Drive itself. Faster drive equals lower processing latency, resulting in faster saves and so on. Your scratch disk highly depends on the hard drive that you use.

Upgrading Photoshop CS6 using the cloud.

Every time I try to upgrade Photoshop CS6 with the cloud I get error U44MIP7. Then after a few weeks it upgrades ok. Any ideas? I don't think Adobe is really ready to prime time on the cloud yet.

It appears the 13.0.1.2 update is the problem.
Here is a summary of the fix:
1) UNinstall Photoshop (no need to uninstall anything else in CS6)
2) Reboot your computer (just to make sure nothing is hanging around in memory)
3) Install Photoshop and immediately quit the Creative Cloud app
4) Run photoshop
5) Go to HELP > UPDATES
6) EXPAND the update group and UNselect the 13.0.1.2 update
7) Apply the 13.1.2 update

Downloading Photoshop CS6 using Application Manager

I have just purchased CS6 Cloud and successfully downloaded the Application Manager. I am now attempting to download just Photoshop CS6 but it has stopped at 48%. This is the second attempt where it has stopped at exactly the same point. I have iMAC 10.7 and mobile broad band which peaked at 3-4Mb/sec. What size is the download file? I left it overnight but now the comms are zero. I would rather get advise before re-starting.

The file size of Photoshop CS6 is approximately 960 MB.
Did you refer to http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-update-issues-cs5-cs5.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-creative-cloud-installation-download .html and try troubleshooting the application manager?

Can't open Raw files in Photoshop CS6 using Nikon D7100?

I have a Nikon D7100 and recently did a photoshoot where I shot in Raw. Upon uploading my images and then attempting to open them in Photoshop it came up with a pop up saying that photoshop is unable to open that camera raw file. I have downloaded the adobe recommended converters but those don't seem to work either. Help?

The Nikon D7100 didn't get support until Camera Raw version 7.4; CS6 shipped with 7.0 (and is compatible up until 8.3). Did you go through Help > Updates?
Also, versions of Camera Raw above version 8.3 won't work on anything below Windows 7 or Mac 10.7. You'll have to "upgrade" to at most 8.3 to continue using it on the other operating systems.

Photoshop CS6 using Start up disk

Hi I am editing some large PSB's in CS6 but even though my scratch disks are assigned to seperate drives photoshop still seems to be using my startup disk and filling it up very quickly. It is fine in CS5 which is leading me to think that maybe the autosave is saving to my startup disk. Is there anyway to change the location of the autosave? I did a quick search and couldn't find any info on the location of autosaves on Mac os x 10.7.

Chris:
In PS CS6's Prefs., I have set my Scratch to be on a separate partition on a second HD (called "Scratch") and my Auto-Saved PS files seem to be beeing saved to that location too:
Is this only possible on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?

Photoshop CS6 using javaScript to truncate alpha channel name

Hello,
I'm a production artist and I work with PSD files that were created in Adobe Scene7 Image Authoring Tool. These PSDs contain a background layer along with 1-20 alpha channels. My script has to make a new blank layer for every alpha channel in the document. Then it fills the new layer with light gray. So far, my code accomplishes this. However, I'd like to apply the name of the alpha channel to the layer, but I need the name to be truncated. Every alpha channel starts with one or more characters followed by a backslash and then finishes with one or more characters. Here's an example:
An alpha channel might be named: Floor\floor
In this example I need my layer name to be just: floor. This means all character to the left of the backslash, including the backslash itself needs to be discarded. I was using the subSring() statement to do this. When I try to step through the code, line by line in ExtendScript, I immediately get an error that says Unterminated String Constant and Line 31 of my code is highlighted. I suspect it doesn't like the way I wrote the backslash character, although I surrounded it in double quotes to define it as a string.
Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this error?
Below is my code with lots of comments to walk you through the process. I wrote where the error occurs in red type.
I'm new to JavaScript so I'm not sure my while loop is accurate.
#target photoshop
// The #target photoshop makes the script run in PS.
// declare variable to contain the active document
var myDoc=app.activeDocument;
// declare variable to contain the number of alpha channels, excluding the RGB channels
var alphaChan = myDoc.channels.length - 3;
alert(alphaChan + " alpha channels exist");
// create loop to make new layers based on number of alpha channels, fill layer with gray and apply alpha channel name to new layer
for (a=0 ; a<alphaChan ; a+=1){
// make new blank layer
myDoc.artLayers.add();
// fill blank layer with gray
var color = new SolidColor();
color.rgb.red = 161;
color.rgb.green = 161;
color.rgb.blue= 161;
myDoc.selection.fill(color);
//variable stores alpha channel name
var alphaName = myDoc.channels[3+a];
// variable stores lenght of alpha channel name
var lz = alphaName.length;
// declare index variable to initialize position of 1st character of alpha channel name
var x= 0 ;
// truncate alpha channel name by removing all characters preceding the "\" symbol
while (alphaName.subString(x) != "\"){          (ExtendScript gives an error for this line and highlights the backslash and surrounding quotation marks)
    alphaName = alphaName.subString((x+1),z);
    x+=1;
    z-=1;
return alphaName;
// remove the backslash from alpha channel name
alphaName = alphaName.subString((x+1),z);
// apply truncated alpha channel name to corresponding layer
myDoc.artLayers[a].name = alphaName;

while (alphaName.subString(x) != "\"){
should be
while (alphaName.subString(x) != "\\"){

Extended photoshop CS6 use causes program slow down.

Hello,
Currently when I use photoshop for any kind for photo editing, after about ten minutes of use the program response slows to a crawl and it will take a minute or two for me to even toggle layer visibility on or off. I reset photoshop to it's factory default settings and I am still getting this problem. Since I use Photoshop extensively for work and school I can say the problem did not begin until yesterday when I was finishing up some assignments for class. None of the files I am editing are very large (maybe 45 MB?) but the problem persists. No other programs are running at the same time as Photoshop. I have a 2013 Macbook Pro Retina with OSX mavericks. Any suggestions or help?
Regards, Eleanor

Photoshop CS6 goes crazy on my second monitor now I have updated to Mavericks

I've had a look around to see if anyone if having the same issues but haven't come across anything to help yet.
When I updated to mavericks my java installation disappeared & so Dreamweaver wouldn't work. Now I've installed jdk-7u51-macosx-x64.dmg & it's working again.
However now I'm seeing an issue with Photoshop CS6 when I drag it across to my second monitor- see image below
The only way I've found to get rid of this weirdness is to drag the screen back to the primary screen and wait for it to settle. Dragging the screen in itself is really laggy & I can sometimes manage to get it to appear normally on my second screen if I wait a bit or wiggle it around. But this time I can't even get the window to appear on my screen at all. It's as if the programme isn't open any more. But if I select 'show windows' I can see it is still open & still flashing with the mess shown in the image below.
Really quite frustrated with Apple about this, now I can't brag as much about how amazing macs are compared to PCs!!
Help?!?

The Mavericks Mac I'm writing on still has CS6 on it so I'll see if it happens to me when I'm near my desktop monitor.
Well, I just tried moving the Photoshop CS6 window around between two monitors in Mavericks and didn't get the same problem, so I really don't know what the problem is. But you could try asking at the actual Photoshop user forum since they'll know better questions to ask than we would in this forum.

Photoshop CS6: Screen flickers black when using brush tool on MBP 2013

I'm experiencing a flickering black box whenever using large brush sizes on Photoshop CS6 using a Macbook Pro (16GB RAM, 2.8 GHz i7, Intel Iris, Late 2013 13") similar to what is shown on: black flickering boxes on Vimeo. The issue stops if you: Preferences -> Performance -> Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" and restart the program or backrev to CS6 13.0.0 (or anything before 13.0.4).
I've attempted uninstalling/reinstalling CS6, resetting NVRAM and SMC, and verified the system is all up-to-date. When booting in Safe Mode the issue is also resolved (as it appears Graphics Processor is disabled). There appears to have been a similar issue on the 2013 Macbook Air that Apple released a fix for (MacBook Air (Mid 2013) Software Update 1.0) but I do not see anything regarding the Macbook Pro line. Anyone experience/resolve this issue?
I've contacted Apple Care multiple times and they say it is an Adobe issue. And Adobe is insisting is a CPU/GPU driver issue just like the Macbook Air issue Apple already fixed.

You may be able to get a display driver update from the laptop manufacturer.
Unfortunately, if none of the workarounds is circumventing the problem for you, and there are no display driver updates that solve the problem, you may want to escalate it to the laptop maker. They in turn can push through a new display driver update. They should take responsibility for making your system work with modern, professional software.

Lightroom 4/Photoshop CS6 Hardware Considerations

I'm going to be building a kick *** processing machine for lightroom 4/Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7.
I'd like to know the optimum processing cores for CPU and optimum video cards. Is there a spec that I can find that will tell me how lightroom 4 and photoshop CS6 use CPU processing cores, ram and video cards.
What can you tell me?

You will find more material regarding hardware on the Photoshop Forum.
Others will probably make recommendations for CPU. I have a quad Xeon and am happy with it - although it's not the latest Xeon.
RAM: With 12 GB you will be fine - unless you regularly work on huge image files in Photoshop. I have 12 GB and Lr rarely goes up to 10 GB.
I would recommend that you do some research for "workstations". Workstation computers are workhorses from the ground up including all hardware components. It's no use to have a fast processor and lots of RAM when the other hardware components can't keep up with speed or data throughput. Also workstation computers are built with expansion in mind - more RAM, slots for additional cards, etc.
Hard drives: Get a system with 3 internal drives; they don't need to be huge - 500 GB is fine. Get an SSD for your OS, Photoshop, and Lr.
If money is not an issue get all hard drives as SSDs. But don't skimp - a 40 GB SSD does you no good - it's way too small.
With today's RAM and CPU's it's the hard drives that are becoming the bottle neck. As you know conventional hard drives have spinning disks and the reading/writing takes time.
Lr is constantly reading / writing to the catalog; it also uses the Lr cache. If you have only one hard drive the read- and write cycles for Lr can pile up and your fine and expensive CPU sits idle waiting until the reading / writing is done. Keep in mind that your system also reads and writes to hard drive at the same time.
Therefore I use 3 internal drives: Drive C for OS, Photoshop, LR; drive D for Photoshop scratch disk, Lr cache, OS paging file; drive E for Lr catalog.
You probably want to use external hard drives. I recommend eSata drives: they are fast and reliable. So on your system you need at least one eSata outlet port - better two. If two are not available you can buy an eSata card (costs about $ 50) which gives you 2 outlets.
Video Card: don't get taken in by gaming cards. They're not what you want for Lr and Photoshop. Get a workstation class card that is designed to run 24/7.
Monitor: get the best and largest you can afford. Get a monitor specifically for photographers. And don't forget you monitor calibration; you need the hardware (spectrometer) and the software. Some monitors (Eizo, LaCie, Nec) come with hardware calibration.

Trouble Creating Brush Tabs in Photoshop CS6

Hi,
I am having problems creating custom brush tabs in Photoshop CS6 using Adobe Configurator 4. I was trying to follow the instructions based off of this screenshot, but cannot seem to link the actions with the panel buttons I am creating.
Here is the screenshot:
I saved my brushes into several different files as specified. I am unexperienced however using Actions in photoshop. I tried recording the loading of each brush file into photoshop and saved them as actions. Regarding Adobe Configurator, I am not sure whether I am supposed to create Action buttons, Script buttons, or Script File buttons to link the brushes in photoshop.
I have tried figuring out on my own but receive error messages such as: Syntax Error, and, this command is currently unavailable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Here's an example of a simple panel using the Action buttons in configurator 4.
While recording the actions in photoshop for use in your panel:
If you want to load a Brush preset on your list in photoshop, click on the name and then in the next dialog click OK
(as in the Assorted action)
(Append adds to the already loaded presets)
If you want to load a brush preset from your hard drive, use Replace Brushes and then click OK in the next dialog
(as in the Pen Pressure action)
In configurator, the action linked to a specific button needs to be named in the Basic Attributes using the action set name and name of the action as they appear in your recorded actions
This is pdf help for configurator 4
