Photoshop Menu Question

I have been supplied a PSD file for a Menu.
The buttons have had a Bevel & Emboss effect applied to them
When I inport it into DVDSP the Bevel & Emboss effect doesn't show, it just displays a flat circle.
Any help really appreciated
Paul

If ytou want the effects to remain and retain a layered menu to import into DVD-SP create a new layer in Photoshop below the layer that has the beveled and emboss effect then group them together (the little chain link icon beside the eye icon) and then you flattened linked layers (making sure no other layers are linked to the ones you want to flatten).
There you have it - if it's a layered with text or anything you might want to adjust later then work on a copy of the file (or duplicate the layer and retain a "live" version and a flattened version.
Hope that helps

CS5 Bridge Tools\Photoshop Menu Options aren't working ...

The CS5 Bridge Tools\Photoshop Menu Options that contain the Image Processing / Photomerge / HDR Pro features that open images from Bridge into Photoshop isn't working ... has this happened to anyone else? Have you any ideas how to fix this?
I've cleared cache, windows temp files, and moved the majority of my files to my NAS drive, so the laptop (Window 8 64-bit) is fine ... or so it seems!

Did you have to uninstall everything and reinstall 2014? CC 2014 was installed automatically. My program files show Ps CC and Ps CC 2014. The automatic installation of 2014 is what caused the problem.

Photoshop menu changes when video is applied.

This is encore CS6
I have been trying to figure this out for a while and can't seem to. I have a photoshop menu consisting of a white background with text and a couple images. I created a video to apply to the menu.
On its own, the menu is fine, but when I link it to the video, the menu gets thin black bars on the edges and the video seems to show through a sliver at the bottom. This totally boggles me because I noticed the video peaking through behind the menu, so I cropped the video in PP, re-exported it and it re-appears in Encore as no-cropped and showing thru at the bottom again. Anyways, the main issue probably has something to do with the Photoshop menu not being as big as the video file in dimension or having a different pixel aspect ratio. Though I played around with the PARs in Photoshop to no avail.
I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Tim

Stan,
That information may very well help me. I don't believe I ever used a layer other than the one called "background". But thats good to know.
I created a solution to the black edges and sliver of video at the bottom. I created a menu from within Encore (the "Rose Menu HD" menu), clicked on the "edit menu in photoshop" and simply modified that rose menu in photoshop to look like it needed to (like my other menus). This way I was gauranteed that the basics of the menu would be right when it came to size and par.
The jittering issue is still there. But I did narrow it down to being a problem with the video background. I know this because I created two of the same menus on a test DVD, one with a video background (which ended up jittering) and one without a video background. The one without a video did not jitter at all.
Thanks.
Neil,
what do I do after saving a TIFF image from the video?
Open Photoshop & from the "File/New" dialogue create a DVD menu (there is a section for this called - from memory - "film & TV" although this may vary depending on version) in the style you want (NTSC Widescreen - not Square Pixel version) and this gets you a base with guides.
NOw get the paint bucket out & make the background black.
Open your TIFF file, and drag the image from the "layers" tab into the DVD menu template.
If it is too large, move it until you can see a corner & poress CTRL/T and turn the imported still into a smart object.
Hold down the SHIFT key & drag the top left corner down to the bottom right, and when you run out of space stop dragging & slide the image back up to the top left again.
Repeat until it fits onto your background & then select the usual pointer tool & select "apply transformation".
That is now your background sorted.
When you say "jitter", I suspect you mean flicker, as Jitter is caused by bad clocking & is a very different thing.
Check field orders - are you using HD to DVD? If so be very careful with field order issues. If the video is Progressive you should be okay but if it is compressed MPEG-2 Transport Streams or similar it will almost certainly be Upper Field First whereas the transcode for DVD will probably be Lower Field First.

How do you increase the font size on Photoshop menu?

I can barely read the Photoshop menu - it is like microfiche - how do you increase the size of the fonts in the menu?

Can a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question have variable answers?

Hello -- I'm trying to create a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question that allows the user to enter an anser with room for error. For example, if the user enters "0.30", then "0.28" and "0.32" would still be correct. Is there a javascript or something that would allow that? I'm willing to pay for a solution.

Perhaps so, but even with that range, I'd still likely opt for what I said earlier. It would seem simpler than devising an Advanced Action. Just list the following as acceptable answers.
0.28
0.29
0.30
0.31
0.32
And I might even go farther and list these too.
.28
.29
.30
.31
.32
But that's just me.

The most important thing I see is that your video card does not have the required minimum VRAM of 512 MB to run 3D features. There's no software workaround for this - you need to consider getting a better replacement video card in order to use the 3D features.
Note the system requirements here:
Photoshop CC system requirements
Note also that the Radeon HD 4000 series is not included in the list of tested video cards here:
Photoshop CC and CC 2014 GPU FAQ
If you buy a new video card you will likely get a fairly current video driver with it. Even so, you should take the opportunity after the new hardware is installed to check the web site of the maker of the card for their latest driver.
Beyond the above.
You have not updated your Photoshop to the latest version (which would be 14.2.1 for Photoshop CC, or 2014.0 for Photoshop CC 2014). Once you get a new video card you should consider updating Photoshop CC to the latest version.
Good luck.

Photoshop CS3 Actions Menu Question

When I click the little arrow on my Actions palette so I can choose an action, I have so many that I cannot see all of them as they go off screen. How can I change this so I can choose from all my actions?
2nd question on all of my things like actions, layer styles, etc. when I open up the Preset Manager to load a new item, it always shows a blank folder, but when you click on the little arrow of any palette you can see that I have a LOT of each item. What can be done about this?
Thank you in advance for your help.

1. Organise your actions into sets, like the ones that come preloaded with the program.
2. Open the Preset Manager and click "Show all Presets" to see them all. Organising these helps too.
3. Read the help files on these topics – it helps!

Photoshop/Dreamweaver question

Hi,
I used Photoshop to create a Flash slideshow via the Tools menu in Bridge.
Now i want to put it is a Dreamweaver page, but it has left me with the folowing files: flashobject.js, photos.js, gallery.swf, galleryconfig.xml, photos.xml, index.html, UserSelections.txt, images file, pages file and thumbnails file.
When I add the gallery.swf file to Dreamweaver it goes on in a large grey box as it should, but when I try to play it or open it in a browser it is just blank, as in there is nothing there. If I double click index.html it works perfectly.
If it helps the gallery.swf icon is like a filestrip with Adobe Illustrator logo in it, rather than the usally Flash logo.
any help would be great,
Thank you,
markus

The answer is to not let Photoshop write either your HTML or your CSS for you. What you show is a disaster waiting to happen, really, and is characteristic of the kind of mess produced by any wizard that writes HTML based on a graphic layout. Use your graphics editors to produce your graphics. Build your page in DW. It's a much better way to go.
I know how to make a DIV center (with Margin auto left and right) but I do not know how to center all DIV's at once.
I hope you are willing to help me with this. In case you have more questions let me know.
Leaving your page with all absolutely positioned elements is really asking for trouble, but here's how to make them all center at once -
Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper { width:760px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
/* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser window without */
/* horizontal scrollbars. Change as needed */
</style>
</head>
change this -
<body ...>
(the ellipsis represents any other attributes that might be mentioned in the body tag, and SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED EXPLICITLY!)
to this -
<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -

</div>
</body>
and see if that helps.

Photoshop menu locations for Paint Shop Pro users

I am new to Photoshop after using Paint Shop Pro for many years. I am having trouble find things in Photoshop that I would have expected to be somewhat basic.
For example; If I wanted to view the palette, in Paint Shop Pro, I would simply click on “View” then “Palette”. In Photoshop, I cannot seem to find the command or menu that would show this to me. The help system is equally useless in the it will tell me everything I want to know about the palette, except where it is hidden.
Another example of drawing a circle around an object in a photo. I can easily draw a filled circle to blot out the image, but just try to draw an empty circle around an item to highlight it. It just does not seem to be possible.
I am looking for some type of basic instructions that I can use to look up where the basic features of Photoshop are, and how to use them. Does anyone know if such a reference exists?

Hi there
I'm not familiar with Paint Shop Pro - when you say palette, do you mean the Tool Menu? (shown below) You can access the workspace setup by going to the Window menu in Photoshop. Here, you can select which palette menus are visible, or organize your workspace according to what you mainly use Photoshop for. (If you are indeed looking for the Tool Menu, you can hide or show it by going to Window > Tools)
For drawing a circle, use the Elipse Tool (by default, this tool is located under the Rectangle Tool - just click and hold to select the Elipse Tool). With the Elipse Tool selected, you can change the fill color, stroke color/weight, or even change the stroke to a dashed line using the Elipse Tool setting bar, shown below.
Quick tip: hold down Shift when dragging your circle to make a perfect circle. This applies to many shape-based functions of Photoshop including crop and selection tools. You can also use this when scaling objects to keep their original proportions.
There are a lot of great resources for learning Photoshop. Below I've listed several for you to check out. And never underestimate the power of a quick Google search when you're looking for help on a specific tool or menu!

Photoshop menu issue

I've created an animated GIF and on attempting to 'save for web' check out my pop up menu... see image below!
Same thing happens when I goto the Filter Gallery. If I click on a window/program outside of Photoshop the text appears - see second image!
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Adobe Photoshop Touch Question / Issue

Hello,
I bought Adobe Photoshop Touch some time ago for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and I liked it so much. Of all the apps I had for photo editing, this one gave me all I need. I used to own Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my old PC so I wanted something for my tab as well. I was very satisfied by this app until my tab died some time ago. After a pain of service and repairs, the tab worked again but it had a new issue. Anytime I used the device on something more demanding (i.e. playing games ) the tab overheated a lot and the screen started to touch itself very much as, if it was pressed all the time. After some time of struggle with it I decided to wipe it clean and pass it out to a family member who would maybe dedicate more time to fix it.
Last month I bought myself a new device ( Sony Xperia Z ) and I was eager to get all my data on it and apps of course. To my sadness Adobe Photoshop Touch is not compatible with my device now, and it just sits there in my app list doing nothing . I could install only Photoshop Express but it does not give me the full access I had with Touch. I saw that there is another product called Photoshop Touch for smartphones and it seems to be the same as what I had only phone edition.
My problem is that I can not get this new app unless I pay for it and I do not wish to do that because I already paid for the previous edition.
My question is: Can I somehow obtain the Smartphone edition and the previous version ( which apparently is for tablets I suppose ) be removed from my Google Play account. I would purchase the smartphone version but there is no point in having 1 app 2 times.
I would happily like the staff to remove my previous version from my account if they would gave me the smartphone version and I acknowledge that the tab app was more expensive than the smartphone version and Adobe will not refund me the money difference nor are they obligated to give me the smartphone version. I am just asking if it would be possible because I like that app and it's such a shame for it to be in my app list and not be used. Thank you for your time in reading this and no matter what answer I get, I will be ok with it. Have a nice day .

I don't think you'll have much luck. PS Touch for tablets was designed for just tablets; PS Touch for phones was designed for just phones. Touch for phones came out a little later than Touch for tablets. (By several months, if I recall.) On the brighter side, if you ended up buying Touch for phones, you'd be covered no matter which device you had.
Both are very similar in function. I believe the only differences are their UIs; Touch for tablets is landscape-oriented-specific while Touch for phones is portrait-oriented. (Some elements are also placed differently.) I imagine this allows for maximum utilization of screen real estate and element placement.

What are the forensic limitations of Metadata & Exif Data+ Adobe Photoshop 3 question; e.g. Metadata

I have some questions regarding metadata, and exif data on digital cameras and its forensic limitations in Adobe photoshop 3;
For instance; After a picture is taken and has a metadata/exif digital stamp of the "picture being taken day" under what circumstances can that "picture being taken day" be changed?
Does the picture being taken day change when you import it into adobe photoshop 3 and add a caption?
Does it change only when the picture is edited, to perhaps add a white sidebar that says "family photo" or whatever?
Under what circumstances does the exif/metadata digital time stamp of the "picture being taken day" change?
Also, is it possible to change the picture being taken day on a photograph in adobe photoshop 3 manually?
Thanks-
Phil

I guess it would be easier to give you an example. The above picture shows the exif data as 9.11.2001. How is this possible if this is a 911 victim? In the top metadata, it says Adobe photoshop 3. I assume this is the program it was last edited in? Or was adobe software used exclusively in cameras back then perhaps? I am not sure, I just know I have many questions I really want answers to. Was the exif data changed perhaps in the above photo on 9.11.2001 to add that white sidebar, which says (Family photo) ?? Click the image below to see the screenshot of what I am looking at, this way we are on the same page or picture so to speak.
Any help you can give will be greatly appreciatted...
Thanks,
Phil

Why is Image Processor no longer appearing in Tools Photoshop menu on Bridge CC?

In fact Photoshop doesn't appear at all in the Tools menu.
I"m using Creative Cloud so I have the most recent downloads for both Bridge and PS.
thanks,
Melanie

In Bridge preferences check if there is a checkmark in front of the Photoshop Start up script (Bridge prefs / Start up scripts) If not check it and try again.
Otherwise provide more details about system versions, exact versions of PS and Bridge and how much free space is left on your start up disk as well as how much RAM and VRAM you have installed.

Edit in Photoshop Elements, question

In Lightroom 3 when I try to edit several selected photos in Photoshop 3 only one showsup in the project bin.. i have reviewed the "edit" form and it is correct, I THINK?
E.g., I would like to take a number of images from LR to PSE for Merge (fake HDR). Also in many cases to synch or apply the same edit to a group.
Greatly appreciate,
Ed

Ed,
I have no problem opening multiple images from LR3 in PSE9 (Win7, WinXP), I do it often for panos.
Tell us a little more about:
Your O/S
Your LR version
Your PSE version
from which module (Develop, Library)
what types of files (Raw, ...)
your file format, bit depth etc. when going to PSE
exact steps you take to open multiple images (menu, right click?)

DVDSP3 all messed up! plus menu question

Ok, i've been using Dvd Studio Pro since it came out. This is the first time I have had any problems with it. First of all, it keeps crashing, no reason. Second, now now video will play in the viewer. Third, Items on my menu seem to be locked and i can't select any of them. Some audio and video is getting jumbled around when i import it and then add it to a track. I want to re-install but I lost my disc. I guess i should call apple for a replacment! Any of this stuff happen to anyone else?? please help?
Now another question. Is there a way to have different music play each time you go back to a menu?

YEah, you should repair permissions and probably reinstall it sounds like.
Yoy can't have different music play in one menu. You can have multiple identical menus however. You can script end jumps and connections to randonly pick a menu or you can just have the end jump or back button go to different versions of the identical menus.
