Photoshop layers do not display in Aperture

Hi folks.
I searched the forum for something on this but didn't find anything.
I just opened a JPG in my external editor (PS CS2), made some adjustments, saved and closed. In Aperture, the image (and thumbnail) do not represent the PS image.
I have a layered PS file - top layer is a subject cut out from the b/g layer, which I have blurred/desaturated and is the bottom layer.
The file is RGB/8-bit and both layers visible. In Aperture, I see the subject, but in the thumbnail, the b/g is white; in the main image, the b/g is black. The actual b/g does not display.
Any suggestions why/how to correct without flattening the image in PS?
Thanks
Tony.

Thanks for the efforts - much appreciated.
The only 'Ask' option I have in CS2 preferences is for layered TIF files. From memory, I don't believe I get asked anything by PS when I exit, other than to save.
The only other thing worth mentioning is that in Aperture prefs, I have External Editor File Format set to PSD - presumably TIF doesn't enter into the equasion and so I'm never prompted per the earlier-mentioned PS setting.
I changed the APerture setting to TIFF and re-opened my problematic image in PS. I made a subtle change just to force a save, and again - was not prompted for anything other than to save. Back in APerture, I see no change.
The file itself has 3 layers - Background (orig color image); layer 2 is a B&W version of the bg...one part of the image was masked to preserve its original (bg) color; the third layer is an Old Photo filter effect, again with part of the image masked to preserve the original color. The mask itself was saved as a channel. I'll be happy to send you the PSD if you like - email me at tonygoulding-at-mac.com.
Thanks
Tony.

Using photoshop elements 9 as an external editor - after saving in Photoshop the results do not display in Aperture

I set up my external editor as Photoshop Elements 9, I follow the instructions to edit a selected image in the external editor. When finished editing in Photoshop, I hit Save (not Save As), and go back to Aperture, and the work I did in Photoshop does not display in Aperture. Is there anything else I need to do to make the work I did in Photoshop display in Aperture?

I had the same problem with PSE 10, and this soution worked for me. Thanks. But is this the real answer? Isn't there a way to save the file without having to add an "f" to the suffix? It doesn't seem to make sense to me. Is it an Aperture problem or PSE? I went to the Apple store amnd the so-called aperture/photoshop expert spent an hour trying to figure it out and finally got the answer by reading this post!!!

Why while in Bridge Load Files into photoshop Layers does not work?

In Bridge, Tools>Photoshop>Load Files into Photoshop Layers does not work. I have two images selected and when I execute that comman in Bridge nothing happens. I exited and restarted both PS and Bridge and still nothing. I am working in Windows 7 and Photoshop cs6.

No I tried File/scripts/load file into stack and still did not work.
There was an update to bridge and now it works. Thanks so much.

Photoshop window does not display unless connected to external monitor

I use a MBP connected it to an Apple Cinema Display used as an external monitor (not a dual display) when in my studio.
When I use Adobe Photoshop CS 5 without the monitor the image window does not display on the MBP. If I plug the external monitor in, the window is displayed correctly on the MBP. Photoshop is opening and "displaying" the image window offscreen. Nothing gets it back onscreen, except plugging in the external monitor.
I often use Photoshop away from my studio so this is a big problem. PShop is essentially unusable unless connected to an external monitor.
Is this a known issue?
Any workarounds?
Any ideas?
There is a previous discussion on this topic from January 2012, but it remains open and unanswered. Hoping there are some new ideas. Thanks for the help.

The MacOS still thinks the second display is available and valid -- so Photoshop puts the documents on the last used display and the OS doesn't give any errors.
Once the OS notices the change in display configuration, Photoshop should go back to the main display and force images and dialogs back to the main display.
Applications rely on the OS for the display configuration, and sometimes the OS gets confused or holds onto outdated configurations a bit too long...

Photoshop Menus/Options not displaying correctly

I've just installed photoshop cs6 and many of the options are not displaying correctly. I've included two screenshots as examples.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and Nvidia GeForce GT330M graphics. I've updated the graphics driver to the latest version which made no difference.
Any help would be much appreciated as much of the functionality is currently off limits.

Either you have a bad install of Photoshop, or some other app/utility on your system is messing up basic UI drawing (Windowblinds used to do that).

Pictures Not Displaying When Aperture Is Opened.

I recently installed the latest update for Aperture which was supposed to help with RAW format pictures. Last night when I opened Aperture to find a picture, none of my pictures would display. The libraries that came with Aperture would display but nothing from my library would come up.
Any suggestions on solving this problem. The library does not seem to be corrupted because I can access it through iPhoto.
Thanks,
Veryl

I guess I wasn't clear with my question.
I am using Aperture 2.1.2. What I installed was the update fix to make Aperture more compatible with some RAW formats. It was one of the regular Apple software updates that they send out periodically.
Up until now, I have opened Aperture and it has shown the photos in my library in the browser and viewer. Now when I open it, that whole area is grey and there are no pictures. From past sad experience, I always leave data for a program in the default location. Nothing has changed except the installation of the RAW update.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks,
Veryl

Photoshop CS3 will not Display Open Image on Workspace -- only in the Navigator

I am using a Compac laptop computer with Windows XP Home with the Creative Suite 3 and 2 Gb of RAM.
The problem I am running into is that when I open a file in Photoshop CS3, it will open, however it only shows up in the navigator, not on the desktop/workspace. I can "zoom in" and "zoom out" however it is only reflected in the navigator, it still does not show up to be able to edit.
I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling the entire Creative Suite. That sometimes helps, but it doesn't seem to last. It has been happening now for about 6 months.
It seems strange so any advice/help would be wonderful!!

First things first.
Your image seems to be off screen. Try changing to the default workspace or changing the screen resolution to see if it becomes visible. Were you previously on two monitors?
Also try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Photoshop CS3 will not display all available actions in Actions folder

Windows XP Pro - CS3 Extended
I have appprox 400 actions. When I open the actions palet, then go to the actions options (clicking on the small downward pointing triangle in the upper right corner) I can see my options for actions, placed in a vertical column at the left hand side of the screen. There are 5 additional columns displaying the actions I hae, in alphabetical order. The 5th column ends in the "F's" even though I have actions starting with letters of the alphabet going all the way through the alphabet.
If I chose to 'Load Actions' a dialogue box pops up showing the actions folder (the one contained in the presets folder), but no actions appear. If I view the folder from Windows file explorer, I can see all of the actions.
Is there a limit to the number of actions CS3 will display? Why do I not see any actions shown in the Load Actions dialogue box?
I use a plug-in manager to limit the number of plugins CS3 loads on startup. Is there something similar for actions?
I appreciate all comment and help.
Thanks very much.

BUG: Video layers black, not displaying

I've edited now for a week with FCP X v. 10.0 and have just run into a bug and haven't found a workaround for it yet. I have a project that has apparently gotten corrupted somewhere along the way. It was working before, but when I tried to export my project's movie, I noticed that there were a couple of sections, totalling minutes of footage, in which the screen is just black. (See attached image.)
The original footage (found by using "Reveal in Finder") is fine. I've tried everything I can think of, even deleting the render directories and re-rendering the project entirely, and had no luck. One odd symptom of the bug -- last night I discovered I sometimes could see the footage when I scrubbed backwards in the timeline, but it was black when scrubbing forwards or when playing.
Anyone else encounter this? Know any workarounds, or have any suggestions?

I've figured it out. Apparently when I added the music soundtrack, it somehow replaced the video of my primary storyline in some situations? Here's before -- it shouldn't be black:
I discovered this by replacing a video clip from my primary storyline (that was displaying as black) with a gap and putting that same video clip just as a layer above it. It showed the clip fine then:
You'll notice it also revealed that much of the soundtrack. So I went to the start of the soundtrack and pulled it down to a layer below the primary storyline. This fixed all the black clips:
This has been my overall conclusion about FCP X. I hate the "primary storyline" requirement -- whatever its benefits are, they're far outweighed by the hassles. It's my biggest complaint by far. It's dawned on me that maybe if I just fill the primary storyline track with a gap, I can just do open editing like FCP 7. If that works, I'd suggest Apple could make a lot of people happy very quickly by adding an option to turn off the primary storyline requirement.
Oh, and importing old FCP projects still has to happen. :-)

Photoshop images do not display propery - Tiled and lines distort image.

Just Downloaded CS4 design standard. Photoshop Images are tiled-look like a test pattern. Is this an installation issue or a compatibility issue?
Upgraded from CS3 which had no problems.

As long as you downloaded the latest drivers from ATI's website and installed them, then you did install the driver properly. If you used another method, then your driver is probably still outdated or just broken.
If you did install the latest driver, then, as Chris said, there's probably a bug in the driver and you'll want to disable OpenGL drawing. See the "Troubleshooting" section of GPU and OpenGL Features and Limitations in Photoshop CS4 for more info.

Layers do not display the transparent grid

I must have hit some obscure keyboard command because now, when I create a layer, instead of a transparent grid behind the image, I get a black background. Can't find where I can change it back.

Photoshop CS6 content (pictures, etc) will not display (or only partually) on the stage.

I just purchased and loaded Photoshop CS6. Pictures (actually this is for all content in any layers) will not display at all or only partually display (see picture below). I uninstalled and reinstalled the program but there is no change. The other Adobe products from the Master Suite Collection run fine (Flash, Encoder, etc). I am thinking that my instalation disc may be corrupted. Can you give me any advice?

Most likely the video card driver. Update it in GPU makers website. Need make and model of video card.

Photoshop pics not displaying in iphoto 08

Photoshop pictures are not displaying. Just a black photo appears. However, the photos do appear normal in Apple Preview. Why is this?

scubanut
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild the thumbnails.
I can't tell the difference b/n the black and white image that our photographer created in photoshop and the photos that I create in iphoto using the effects black and white feature. I've heard there is a difference and was wondering whether I would notice it more when I printed
I have no idea what such a difference might be, nor would I expect there to be one - but print a couple and compare.

Tiff files with Alpha Channels do not display or print correctly...

I have Tiff files that have been edited in Photoshop that do not display correctly. As far as I can tell this is caused by the existence of Alpha channels in the channels panel in PS. When the files are imported to Aperture, they only display information from either the alpha channel or a layer using that alpha channel as a mask.
If this is true, what are people doing about it. This cant be acceptable???
Are there any work arounds and is apple addressing this problem?
Can anyone else confirm this?
I am using Aperture 1.1.2, OS 10.4.7 and PS CS. on a Dual 2GHz Power PC G5 with 4.5 GB RAM
Please note, these are NOT .psd files. I have read and am aware of some psd compatibility issues, and have checked the maximize compatibility in PS.

Thank you for your response, I am trying to figure out what to do differently when we re-create the PDF so we don't have font issues when we combine. I don't want to keep recreating the problem, I am looking for a solution. Why does this happen? What settings do I tell other to apply on their Acrobat? Is the a font issue in Adobe? I found this on a Google search on the internet and can't seem to get it to work on XI PRO.
Embedding fonts into Acrobat 9 through Distiller:
Launch Acrobat.
Choose Advanced > Print Production > Acrobat Distiller.
Select Standard in Default settings.
Go to Settings and select Edit Adobe PDF Settings.
Select Fonts and in the font source window select the fonts you want to Add.
Click Save As and then OK.

Anchor points and paths not displaying!

When I create a new shape, the anchor points and path are not visible. How do I make them appear? I don't see them at all in any shape I create....

Hi JJMAck,
The problem isn't with selecting a path or anchor point, but rather seeing them at all. I watched a tutorial video, where the user chose the rectangle shape tool, created a rectangle, and the path and anchor points of the rectangle were visible. When I create a rectangle, no path or anchor points are displayed.....
Any thoughts on that situation?
Thanks!!
John
What you saw in the tutorials is how newer versions of Photoshop work older Photoshop versions do not display the points and the way shape layer are depicted in the layers palette is also different.
What version of Photoshop are you using?
While CS6 is close to CC it does not show the points and there may even be differences between the PC and Mac versions of Photoshop.
