Photoshop tools and pixel layers

I am trying to reduce the size of my images in photoshop. The layers requiring the most size are merged pixel layers. What tools require pixel layers and what is the best workflow to reduce the number of merged layers?

Hey Kolinized,
Difference between "add text" tool via the 'tools' pane and "add text" tool via 'fill and sign' pane :-
* Tools>Content Editing>Add Text :- Selecting this option, we can customize the text as well the rectangular box it will create.We can place the box anywhere on the page.
* Fill & Sign>Fill & Sign Tools>Add Text :- This option is slightly easier ,however, customizes text only(Typewriter tool in Acrobat X).This tool is preferred to fill up various kinds
of forms .
Thanks

Why are my images coming out of CS5 Photoshop granulated and pixelated after saving?

I am new to CS5 Design Premium. I use a Canon 50D and shoot in RAW format. I upload my pictures into Bridge and do most of my editing in Camera Raw, then I open the object into Photoshop where I save the image into a folder. I save each image as a .psd file AND a .jpg file. I save an extra as a .jpg so I can upload to my website and to order from the lab I use.
My question is: Why is it that my pictures are so granulated when I open them back up? They look completely fine on the screen but when I re-open them or upload them to my site, they look terrible. Have I messed up something with the formating/file size/ppi...? 8-bit, 16-bit? PPI...?
I am confused here and highly discouraged from using my new program....HELP PLEASE!!

Are you seeing this problem, when you Import those PSD's into a Premiere Pro Project, or in Photoshop?
If the former, have you done the Scaling to match the Frame Size of Sequence in PrPro? If not, this ARTICLE will be helpful. Note: in Video, DPI/PPI is meaningless, and only pixel x pixel dimensions matter.
If the latter, you will want to post to the Photoshop Forum.
Good luck,

Photoshop Inverted and Pixelated

Every time I open a photo in PSD CC, It opens pixelated and inverted. Any help?

Check your display profile, and update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website.

Difference between 'add text' tools and adding Layers

I am trying to add text to a .pdf form that has no preset text boxes. I see I can either add text via the tools menu with the 'add text' tool or the fill and sign menu with the 'add text' tool as well. They both seem to behave differently and I have a difficult time selecting, moving or editing text that is close to existing elements with both tools. What is the intended difference between these tools? Also, it would be nice to add a layer to just add my text to without interfering with the existing elements, but I see no way to actually add a layer in Acrobat Pro XI. I know I can do this in Illustrator, but I was looking for a simpler solution that works in Acrobat.
Thanks!
Colin

Photos fail to print after editing with clone stamp tool and layers

After editing using the clone stamp tool and using layers the photos fail to print. I even tried a simple crop edit and the photo failed to print.
Photos print without editing.

Im working on a Mac OX 10.9.4 and Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac
I tried printing from Organizer and editor and I have the image saved on my desktop
I don't receive an error when I try to print. The message usually reads: Printing, 2% complete or 13% complete.
I have left it sit overnight but it never produced a photo.
The printer is new: HP Envy 5400 and I have no problem printing photos from I Photo.

Please help@

Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded. Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows. Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution so it uses its pixels however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display. Other application let Windows scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels. The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays 2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
The reg update and external manifest file effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution. Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768. Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display 3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

Why are my tools like brush, eraser, pencil (basically any that you would use to make a smooth motion that would affect the layers) is not working and acts as if I clicked once and let go. I have checked spacing and reset tools and brushes. Please help!

I haven't had issues with this in the past and I've checked the different modes the layers are in as well as the brushes are in. I've also checked spacing to make sure it isn't wrong. An example of what it is doing, would be to use the brush tool and try to draw a circle. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue but the tool only makes a dot as if I quickly pressed and released tool, but I'm holding down to draw the image. All tools that do similar functions such as blur, eraser, pencil, paint are doing the same thing.... Please help!!

CS 6 frame, tools, and descriptions are very pixeled

Not all the time, but since I installed PS 6 on my new Mac Book Pro, the frame, tools and navigator are extremely pixeled... it looks like a file of 70 Kb is enlarged to 20x25 cm... Does anybody knows how to solve this problem?
(uploaded the latest version on last Tuesday, so I assume I'm up to date)
Thanks in advance!

thanks for your quick reply.
please find attached a screenshot with info about the camera and an image which does not show this „pixeled”

Your file is most likely toast, but still:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

How do I change the size of the tools and the text for the menus in Photoshop? I need a magnifying glass in order to make out what they are.

How do I change the size of the tools and the text for the menus in Photoshop? I need a magnifying glass in order to make out what they are.

Okay, I've figured it out, so I'm going to answer my own question in hopes that it may help anyone else that would like to actually be able to see what they're doing when using Photoshop CC 2014 on a high resolution screen.
1. Open Photoshop.
2. Select Preferences from the Edit Menu, then select General.
3. Change the HUD Color Picker to Hue Strip (Medium).
4. Select Interface from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
5. Change the UI Font Size to Large in the Text area of the Preferences dialog box.
6. Select Experimental Features from the Preferences menu on the left side of the dialog box.
7. Select Scale UI 200% for high-density displays (Windows only).
8. Click on OK, then Exit/Quit Photoshop.
9. Open Photoshop and everything should be readable.

How do I save an adobe photoshop cc file for photoshop touch and still retain the layers?

I want to continue working on my .psd image in my wacom cintiq companion hybrid, but it only has touch and when I open the photoshop file there, the layers compress. What do I saw it as so this doesn't happen?

I am not sure whether this is what you are looking for but:
Cmd+Opt+Shift+E will add a composite (flattened) layer without affecting the layers that created it.

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?

When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.
If not, you may want to consider the Photography Plan. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe photoshop elements 9 . i cannot get the circle to appear on clone stamp tool and spot healing

adobe photoshop elements 9 , i cannot get the circle to appear using clone stamp tool and the spot healing brush . i`ve tried restating my computer and unloading and loading the adobe disc . but still no good .

I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
4. Click ok.
Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

Opening an image in Photoshop CC, and select pixels with any method, the image starts to blink

The entire image is what is blinking, while the photoshop tools remain on.

I actually figured out that just changing the resolution of the screen fixed the problem. The screen resolution had to be different from what it was. Both lowering and raising it fixed the problem. Strange.
