Photoshop LAYERS without making a Version

Does anyone know if Aperture will open a Layer Photoshop
image without making a version of it? I have lots of 250MB Layer
images, so when I "Open with External Editor" it dupes this 250MB
layer file making another 250mb file & then opens in PS. Thanks for
any responses.

You could do the following:
Import a flattened version of the PSD file as JPG into Aperture. 'Open with External Editor' to Photohop and copy the layers from the original PSD file, leaving it as the first layered PSD file. Save and close. Aperture should bring the layered version back. Now you have in the Library the layered PSD that you can open anytime you want. The only problem is that you have to keep the jpg and the slow process if you have lots of layered files.

Can I reinstall previous version of photoshop without uninstalling new version?

Can I reinstall previous version of photoshop without uninstalling new version?

I have opened the CC PS CS6 and used the oil paint filter on a photo - no problem. I then opened the new CC Photoshop 2014 and edited a photo - no problem. When I downloaded the CS6 it did give me an additional CS6 Bridge. So far so good, but I will post if I encounter problems.

"Load files into Photoshop layers" fails to complete CS6

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help with the folling problem with Photoshop & Bridge CS6
When in Bridge, after selecting 6 images (CR2) using the command TOOLS>LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS the first file will load into Photoshop, Photoshop will then generate a second blank layer and then read the second file. At this point the "script" will stop. I am left with a document with 2 layers. The top layer has my first image, the bottom layer is empty.
At this point when I quit Photoshop I am prompted to save this open document which appears to be the only open document. I choose not to save this as a file. I then get a dialogue box prompting to save another open document. Photoshop has loaded the second file to place as a layer but as the "script" has aborted I am left with an open, but invisible file.
When I first loaded CS6 on Snow Leopard, it would demonstrate this behaviour every time I attempted to run this command from Bridge.
I did a clean install on a blank HDD of OSX Lion. Installed CS6. The command worked without fail for about a month.
Then I would get the command aborting occasionally. Restarting Photoshop would let me continue for a few hours before this aborted script problem would happen again.
Over the last week it has become more frequent, to a point where this workflow is unusable.
A restart of Photoshop may fix the problem for the next batch of images, only to fail again soon after, or fail on the first attempt after a relaunch of Photoshop.
A reboot of my computer will allow my to load one or two sets of files before again failing to complete the command.
I have tried the following:
In Photoshop preferences:
disabling the "Use graphics Processor"
Increasing or decreasing the amount of RAM available to Photoshop
Changing the cache levels or changing the cache tile size
changing the scratch disk
Trashing the Photoshop preferences file (Photoshop Settings.psp)
In Bridge
Purging the cache
Increasing or decreasing the cache size
Resetting Bridge preferences (holding Command on launch) and deleting all cache files.
In general system
Quitting extra programs (Safari, Thunderbird, iTunes)
Sometimes this will seem to then allow Photoshop to load a full set of images, only to abort again after a few sets.
Rebooting the computer - again will work for a few images sets before again failing.
Now the fact that it worked fine for several weeks without presenting a problem would indicate that it is not a bug.
The fact that is slowly started happening then became more frequent would indicate something changing slowly over time - a larger cache folder perhaps, although purging known Bridge cache folders has not filed the problem.
Really at the end of my tether here. Even considering downgrading to CS5 - but don't want to have to use the older Adobe Camera Raw.
System is as follows:
Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Quad Core
24GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4870 512
OSX Lion 10.7.4
I have seen a couple of others have posted having a the same problem, both with CS5 and CS6.
Hoping someone has an answer.
Thanks.

Hi JJMack - I just re-read your post. For some reason I thought you were suggesting to make sure "Open documents in Tabs" was selected, it was. Now I realize you were suggesting to turn it off! As another attemp to solve this problem I did de-select it today. Seemed to work for a good while. I was getting very excited, then, on the last set of images I had to do it displayed the same problem. But, it did go for quite a while without failing, and when it did I was thrashing about trying to make another app active. When loading documents like this - with "Open documents in Tabs" de-selected, Photoshop wants to put the loading images as the front-most window, no matter what other apps (Bridge, email, web etc) I click on in the dock. I think it is related to the bug you described effecting the "load files to stack" command.
Hopefully Adobe is looking at this - mind you, I have read reports of people having this problem in CS5! Looks like that was never resolved sadly.
I'll keep testing and post back.
I am looking to upgrade my video card to see if it's a video memory thing.
What is very weird though is the fact that this problem didn't present itself until after several weeks of working with this command with no problem. No additional apps installed, nothing changed. Why would it start happening only after a while?
Thanks again for your suggestion.

Is there any way to copy a photo with Lightroom adjustments without making a separate copy?

I do most of my printing from lightroom. I generally set up my image the way I want it for printing on photo paper, and then I make other copies and adjustments for printing on things like Canvas, coffee cups, tiles, etc.
The problem I have is I set up templates in photoshop, say for a coffee cup, which will have the correct dimensions, perhaps some text, etc. To get to the lightroom photo with the lightroom adjustments I have to "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments" in photoshop, then copy and paste the image to the template in photoshop. Now I have another copy of the image on my harddrive and in lightroom. So after I copy the image in photoshop, I close it go back to lightroom and delete the copy I just made. Besides the extra fragging on the harddrive this creates, I know I am setting myself to delete the wrong photo by accident through repetition, and it is extra work.
How can get a copy of a photo with Lightroom adjustments to the clipboard without making another physical copy of the photo?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Godspeed,
Bruce

I may not be the best resource for tiles and cups, I've just started printing to them. Basically I'm doing them using an epson printer with dye sublimation inks printing on transfer paper and then doing the transfer at 400 degrees with a press. I wanted to be able to do my own to get the cost down, and wanted to be able to make it actually usable, (dishwasher safe, etc) so this is the best route I've found. I had to get a new printer, 2 presses, a bulk ink system, and the supplies to print on so it is a pretty hefty up front expense. It can be done cheaper though using a mug wrap heated in an oven (not your cooking oven though). I worked with the folks at Conde to get set up, and they seem pretty good. But I'm still early in the learning curve, so I would be able to tell you a lot more in 6 months.

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location?

I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location? If I use add file / folder to library, it scans the folder and then makes a copy of any file that is not in my library in the exact same location; I recal in older versions of iTunes being able to just drag my media folder into my library and it would update missing links.

Only the songs that are connected to iTunes will be copied when you consolidate to a new folder.
Splitting the media folder away from the usual location makes it harder to move iTunes in the future.
Are you go move everything back once you've tidied up or are you going to leave it that way? Either way I'd recommend you create an iTunes folder at the new location, an iTunes Media folder inside that, and consolidate to this new iTunes Media folder. You should also use the option File > LIbrary > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder"> if you have not already done so.

Adobe Bridge CC 'Tools Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' missing from menu.

Hi,
After updated to bridge CC the 'Tools > Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' has simply disappeared from the menu! Is there a plug in that I'm missing or is this something similar to how the Output module works, where you have to install the files manually?
Thank You

I uninstalled all Adobe products -> reboot -> reinstall; which didn't work.
So I had to uninstall all Adobe products again, then use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner, reboot & reinstall everything again; then it finally worked.
This seems to be a regular thing since the introduction of Adobe CC, almost every new update or new versions breaks functionality & requires a complete uninstall -> reinstall process.

"Load files into Photoshop layers" completely missing from Bridge CS6

No options to load files into Photoshop layers. Why not, and how can I put several files into one Photoshop layer?

Error Message -may need to download Photoshop camera raw plug in version 7.3 for full compatibility

I have been working in Lightroom 4.3 for MAC. From there I open 2 files to edit in Photoshop as layers so I can add a layer mask to the bottom layer and use the paint brush tool to make certain areas of the image darker or lighter. I have been doing this with no problem and now it doesn't seem to work. I can see the brushes' strokes on the layer mask but can not see the results on the image.
I keep getting a message from Lightroom saying I may need to download Photoshop camera raw plug in version 7.3 for full compatibility whener I try to edit on Photohsop thru Lightroom, but I have already added this plug in and it asks for it. It happens with raw, jpegs and tiffs from my 1D Mark II or my 5D Mark III and with other people's camera. It used to work fine. Now it dosen't I feel like it is something so simple. Please help. This si crucial to my business.

The wording of the message about ACR 7.3 is a bit misleading: What it means is that ACR 7.3 is required for Photoshop. Lr 4.3 has got it.
Which version of Photoshop are you using?
I suspect it's not CS6 but a prior version. If it is a version prior to CS6 you cannot install ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7.3.
You may have downloaded it but you cannot install it. It doesn't install.
On the other hand Lr 4.3 is based on ACR 7.3. So you have an incompatibility of ACR versions: 7.3 in Lr 4.3 and an earlier-version-ACR in Photoshop.
With this situation Lr an dPhotoshop are not fully compatible, i.e. you cannot open images as layers. You can only open one image at a time, either by letting Lr 4.3 render the PSD (or TIFF) and sending it to Photoshop (by selecting <Render using Lightroom>), or you let Photoshop open the Raw file with its earlier version ACR (by selecting <Open Anyway>).
In this situation you have two choices: Either upgrade to CS6, or open images in Photoshop one at a time and vonvert to layers in Photoshop.

Adobe CC batch into photoshop layers and photoshop bach menu missing

So I work with many images a day. RAW jpg formats... On every adobe product in the past i could open a folder in bridge with many images select all of them hit tools batch open in adobe photoshop or even batch open in one photoshop document as layers... Now this option is missing and I need it back... I've uninstalled a few times no success. I need to be able to open multiple images at once so I can batch edit..
My workflow below
Open a folder with 40 images in it. RAWs or JPG.
Select all images> Tools batch open with photoshop
Photoshop opens ask me If I would like to apply actions I've created... I select the one action I want to shappen my image and they load up into photoshop..
This is my simple workflow that no longer works cause it will not give me option to batch open in photoshop
I also can't open mutiple image into photoshop layers its just like gone?

I uninstalled all Adobe products -> reboot -> reinstall; which didn't work.

"Load Files into Photoshop Layers" persistent misalignment problem

I'm having a persistent problem which technical support was unable to resolve after being on the phone with them for 1.5 hrs.
I'm working in Bridge CC in ACR, synchronizing all parameters incl. crop, transform, exposure, etc. of a bracketed group of images shot from a solid tripod. When using the Tools / Photoshop / Load files into Photoshop layers command, the images open in photoshop in a layered file, BUT some are knocked out of alignment. Actually they have been cropped slightly smaller than the original file, always by the same number of pixels. Sometimes all layers are affected, sometimes not. Photoshop and Bridge are both up to date, as is the camera raw plugin. I’m on a new iMac i7 4-core, OSX 10.9.4. All software was newly downloaded from Adobe less than two weeks ago. I have reset preferences, even uninstalled and reinstalled Bridge CC 6.1.0.115 to no avail. Any suggestions?

Load Files into Photoshop Layers hanging...

I have both Bridge CS5 4.0.4.2 and Photoshop CS5 12.0.2 x64 open and running on a MacBookPro... when I highlight a few files inside of Bridge CS5, then go to Tools, Photoshop, Load Files Into Photoshop Layers, when those files start opening in Photoshop and stacking as Layers, the process just hangs and stops processing after the first Layer is placed - any ideas why this happens, or just a bug? Thank you!

any ideas why this happens, or just a bug?
As I can’t reproduce the issue so I would assume it’s not a bug per se.
Have you tried trashing prefs for Photoshop (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed)?

Downgrade «Photoshop CS6 Extended» to just «Photoshop CS6», it's standard version?

Hey,
recently I've replaced my MacBook Pro 17" (Mid 2010) with new Retina (15" / Early 2013) and after I've installed Adobe Photoshop it appears to be Extended version instead of Standart. And I want my standart version back. I didn't use 3D features and I'm okay with standard version. I'm running OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3) if it useful information.
So the question is: How do I downgrade my Photoshop CS6 «Extended» to «Standard» version?
What I've tried:
1. Reinstall application. No changes, still Extended version.
2. Install on differenct computer same install package. I've tried to run this on my Mac Pro — unsuccessful.
3. Reinstall application on «clean» OS X version on my previous MacBook Pro (17") — everything is okay. Standard version running as it does before.
Please help me solve this little issue, because Google left me without answers.
Thanks,
Jake.

Simple.
It's just one and the same application, just one binary. What determines whether you get the Extended features or not is your serial number.
If you're on a subscription basis, it will always be the Extended version.
If you're using the trial version, it will be Extended. When you input a Standard serial number after you purchase it, it will become Standard.
If you've already put in your serial number and registered the applicaton and still see the Extended features, it means you paid for the Extended version.

How to open PSD file recieved via email on iPad using Photoshop Touch without Creative Cloud?

Hi, how to open PSD file recieved via email on iPad using Photoshop Touch without the need of using Creative Cloud? Thanks.

Hi Super Nemo
Currently the only way to open psd files on Photoshop touch is via the creative cloud. Also, the layers you created from Photoshop on your desktop machine will be flattened when opened with Photoshop touch on your iPad. But you can retain the layers from the touch app when opening the psdx file on your desktop photoshop.

Blurry Photoshop layers

I'm experiencing a strange effect when importing Photoshop layered files into After Effects CS5.5.
The graphics on the layers are blurring or have heavy anti-aliasing applied.
1. is a transparent png file of the layer that I exported from Photoshop and imported into AE.
2. is the exact same layer/graphic but imported as part of a Photoshop composition.
Both versions have the exact same setting applied.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to resolve the issue?
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for your replies.
@bogiesan That has no effect. When reloading the PSD I don't get the option of changing the 'layer options' value. And the PSD itself is perfectly crisp, it looks like it's the original import that is the issue.
@Andrew Yoole, Unfortunately that has no effect.
I've also tried replacing the photoshop layer version of the graphic with the png by holding the option key and dragging the png onto layer on the timeline. This also has no effect.
It seems the layers themselves are affected at import time when 'editable layer styles' is enabled.
