Photoshop not coming to front?

I couldn't find this problem with the search feature so bear with me if this has already been discussed.
Browsing in Bridge I double click a CR2 file and it opens in ACR. I click Open Image and Photoshop CS5 loads in the forefront and the image is opened inside. Everything is exactly like you would expect.
I close that image, click the taskbar Bridge button to go back to Bridge to do the same thing over again. However, this time the image gets loaded in Photoshop but Photoshop doesn't come to the front.
This doesn't happen if there is another image already open in Photoshop and it doesn't happen if I first minimize PS before switching to Bridge. It will also skip the behavior for one cycle if I click the Photoshop taskbar icon but it goes back to the odd behavior with the next image.
This behavior is only slightly annoying so I can live with it but is there a setting that might cause this behavior either in PS CS5 or in Windows 7 Pro?

Do you see a flashing Photoshop icon or button in the TaskBar if this occurs?
If so, Windows 7 is blocking Photoshop from popping to the front, possibly because it thinks Bridge is still current.
I don't use Bridge, so I can't tell you whether it's an improper interaction at that level, but I can say that sometimes video drivers can affect window behavior...  Check to see if your video card manufacturer has released a newer driver than the one you currently have.

  • Finder windows not coming to front and other issues

    Hey Guys,
    I've been having some issues with finder not coming to the front when clicking on the Finder icon on the dock, like it used to.
    Also, if I have a finder window on the front, and I click to an application behind it, the application doesn't come back in front again.
    Anyone else having these issues, anyone know of a fix? Not sure if it's related, but in the force quit window, finder is shown twice?
    It's happening on both my macbook pro and my mac pro, both running mavericks.

    Do you have StuffIt Deluxe installed? If so, see this thread:

    What is happening is that your Finder is crashing.

  • Dynamic LabVIEW dialogue called front TestStand not coming to front

    I've created a bespoke dialogue box that does things such as auto size to the text etc in LabVIEW. We call this vi from LabVIEW and TestStand - from LabVIEW it's fine, but from TestStand it appears behind TestStand and I can't find a way to get it to appear on top of TestStand - there is obviously the 'Show front panel when called' option, but as we are doing some pre-processing before showing it we cannot use this option - I've also tried 'Fp is frontmost' in the dialogue properties but still no cigar.
    Just hoping that someone knows a way to programmatically make it appear on top of all current open windows - maybe there's some sort of Windows functionality you need to use.
    Any ideas greatly received,

    Someone here mentioned those vi's so I'm going to try and do a bit of investigation with them and see what I can come up with - had a brief look and it didn't seem to do that much so I assume that I was using them in the wrong way - and there is another problem, and that is that we have certain standalone LabVIEW vi's that do things such as calibrating power meters and it's going to be a bit of a bummer if I have to constantly pass in the TestStand sequence context to these vi's just to get them to appear on top of TestStand as then they won't be particularly standalone and it means changing alot of VI interfaces which is going to upset a lot of people!
    I'll have a play about with them tomorrow and see what I can do with them, but Ideally I'm looking for a standalone solution whereby I can have a bit of code encapsulated within the bespoke LabVIEW dialogues that just ensures that whenever they get called be it from LabVIEW or TestStand, they are always on top.
    Many thanks for your reply, and I'll get back to you when I know a bit more,

  • JDialog not coming to front in Linux

    Hello,
    I'm writing an application that needs to show a dialog requesting user input
    with a large set of rather complicated options several times, where the user needs to make a small change each time the dialog is shown. My code looks more or less like this:
    // create a modal dialog
    JDialog controlDialog = new JDialog(parent,title,true);
    JPanel contentPanel = new JPanel()
    // set up all the necessary inputs and buttons on the panel
    // add the panel to the dialog
    controlDialog.getContentPane.add()
    // a loop to get the data
    for (int i=0; i<nPoints; i++) {
    controlDialog.toFront();
    // stop and get the user input
    controlDialog.show();
    // process the results
    }Under Windows, this does what I think it should - it shows the dialog 10 times, each time on top of all other windows. On Linux, it does not. The first time the dialog comes up on top. The next (and all the other times) it is at the bottom, hidden behind all the other windows in the screen, which is highly inconvenient. I'm using Sun JDK1.3.1 on Redhat Linux 7.0 with Gnome. What's wrong?
    I can of course re-create the dialog every time, but given the number of inputs on it, saving and restoring its state is more trouble than I would like to deal with.
    Thanks,
    Myrosia

    I had a problem with this in the past and the issue was with the dialog's constructor with respect to the 'Parent Component'. In my experience the toFront() method only pertains to the component used when constructing the dialog. So if during the course of your user's input the dialog apears over more than one component (Frame/dialog) then the toFront() method may not work.
    I had to resort to re-creating my dialog for each different frame/dialog it needed to appear over. This was no problem for me since my dialog was not very busy and it needed no state to be saved but I can understand how it would be a problem for you.
    In my application there are two or more JFrame's visible at once and the dialogs with JFrame 1 as a parent aloways apear over JFrame 1 but are hidden by JFrame 2 and visa-versa. This seems to support my theory.
    Again, in my experience, the only way to ensure a dialog apears on top of your application is to make sure that the component used as "Parent" in the Dialog's constructor is the component currently in control when the dialog needs to appear.

  • Bridge and Photoshop keep coming to the front while batching

    I downloaded the newest updates today and now when I run a batch from Bridge to a photoshop action the bridge and photoshop programs keep coming to the front and will no longer allow me to work on background programs or surf the net while the batch is running.
    I am using the latest "patches" as of June 5th 2012, on a Mac Pro running 10.6.8
    ANyone got a fix for this?

    I may have updated another program as I have the Production Suite. But before I did the update my Bridge was working very well.
    As always, when Bridge starts unexpected behavior out of nowhere first thing to try is a reset of preferences by restarting the application while holding down option key and from the menu choose reset preferences.
    My videos, mov files are previewing nicely even at 3.5 Gb. But this current challenge of the program not allowing me to work on anything else while I am batching is troubling.
    I'm a bit surprised you did not have experienced this before. It is an OS thing that when applications running in the background come to front when finishing a task. Every time PS finishes a batch task the focus comes to front. But normally you would be able to keep on doing what you are doing IF you have the window you are looking at activated. If you have a browser open you should click on  this window to activate it. Then the activated window should stay in front. Same in Mail, Finder or any other applications. Even haven multiple windows open of this application, the activated window stays in front while others of the same app are hided by PS. At least it does so at my (same as you) set up.
    As Yammer P also suggested, if you have a save command included in the batch action and have set the sort order to date modified or any other setting that changes the sort order in Bridge Content panel when a task (save) is finished it builds a new (updated) thumb and due to sort order replaces itself to top or bottom of the content panel. this also updates the content window and brings it to focus. As said, this is behavior caused by OSX itself.
    But again, this should not effect your front activated window and even with the activated window in front it still can be very disturbing...
    And I forgot to mention since I did the recent up grades my camera raw files will no longer update in Bridge. Even though they are correct once I open them they are being shown as raw/unrefined images.
    This indicates that either your cache has been effected or something happened with your ACR plug in.
    Open PS and in the menu Photoshop look under about plugins / camera raw. Inhere should be only one version showing (for CS 5 this should be 6.7 and for CS6 it shows 7.1)
    Also select a file that has not been updated and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection'
    If this rebuilds the thumb correctly choose the menu tools/cache/ purge cache for folder.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and I wish to upgrade with Adobe Creative Suite 3 but the option is not coming up on the drop down menu

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and I wish to upgrade with Adobe Creative Suite 3 but the option is not coming up on the drop down menu

    The first two issues sound like a video driver problem.
    What is the make/model of your video card/chip?
    What is the installed video driver number and date?
    For the last issue, it could be many things, including the video driver. I'd look over this ARTICLE, and if there is nothing in the first part, then move on to tuning up the OS an computer in the second part. That would probably be a good time to post the full specs. of your computer, and also both your Project and Source footage. Finally, part three covers many troubleshooting tips, and furnishes many links.
    Good luck,

  • VFL Speaker sound from both the front speakers while FR sound is not coming out at all.

    I have a creative gigaworks s750 connected to a xtreme gamer sound card. The system was working absolutely fine but now it has started behaving very strangely; system is playing back Front Left Speaker sound from both the front speakers while Front Right sound is not coming out at all. If i click the front right speaker in audio console speaker setup wizard, no sound comes. However when i click the front left speaker, sound comes out of both speakers. I counter checked it with playing 5.1 dts movie and muting all the speakers except the front left one from ac3 filter, sound came out of both the front speakers. However when i muted all the channel except the front right, no sound was coming out of front right speaker.
    Message Edited by hussain on 06-10-2009 10:26 PM

    Just want to add another relieved reader of this thread.  I had lost the sound to my speakers even though I had sound to headphones. I was convinced it was a damaged headphone jack because I had pushed the headphone plug in harder the last evening when my wife complained that she could still hear the speakers while I listened with the headphones.  The next morning--no speaker sound.
    I spent a few hours searching the web to see how to disassemble a satellite A505 and get to the jack.  But I wasn't even sure I could get a proper replacement jack that fit, and I was concerned that small damage, say to the ribbon connectors could render the computer useless--a large price to pay for just missing audio.  
    Fortunately, I stumbled onto this thread and I recalled I had put the unit to sleep the night before--something I don't usually do, but I didn't want all the Chrome web sites to have to reload so I just put it to sleep.
    When I put it to sleep again and fired it up--Sound!  I am so glad to find this solution so I just want to let people know it remains a viable option.

  • IDOC not coming in status 30 for collecting idocs

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement in which we need to collect idocs and send together.
    To achieve I am making Collect idocs in Partner profiles so that it goes in status 30 and hence I can run program RSEOUT00 to make it status 03 and hence write in file as a group of idocs.
    Now inspite of making collect idocs in partner profile, its not coming in status 30 but directly coming in status 03.
    Please let me know what may be the reason for the same.
    Thanks,
    Vivek

    Hi vivek,
    If you have set the Collect Idoc option in partner profile then the IDOC's will be collected , irrespective of kind of port you are using and the packet size doesn't matter in this case.
    It seems to me that the program RSEOUT00 is already scheduled in your system.
    Can you check in SM37 , by putting the program RSEOUT00 and check if any user has scheduled the program.
    Hope this helps.
