Plugin Problem in Photoshop CS5

I have loaded ImageSkill Background Remover and Magic Sharpener into my new CS5. They appear normally in the filters pull-down menu however when I try to open either one, I get the Microsoft "Photoshop has encountered a problem and must close" msg and CS5 closes. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the plug-ins several times but there is no improvement. I tried to contact ImageSkill's customer support a few times; no response. I reported the problem on their forum; ditto. These two plug-ins work fine on CS4. I really don't think it's a CS5 problem though because all my other older plug-ins loaded and work just fine. Background Remover is like the older Adobe Extract function (yes, I know you can download that to CS5 and I have) except it is easier for me to use and handles fine "whispy" things like hair pretty well (yes, I know Content Aware does too but I'd rather not go thru that leaning curve if I don't have to). Magic Sharpener is like a bunch of other such plug-ins ( I have several). It works best in some cases. Others, including CS5's, do better in others. If anyone has successfully gotten these two to work, I'd appreciate hearing the secret. Otherwise, if you are thinking about getting them, BE SURE AND TRY THE TRIAL FIRST!!!! Thanks, Ed

Do the plug-ins normally install via an installer? Or are these just "copy the .8bf file here" type installs?
I ask because installers do things like install needed DLLs, set up permissions, initialize registry keys, etc. and you may have to get an updated installer from the maker of the plug-ins that knows about CS5 to get them to work.

Problem with Photoshop CS5. Memory and Harddisk spaces

Just got CS5 Master Suite. Whenever I open photoshop it takes a ton of memory 1 gig +. When I open files it takes up more and more until it takes up all my memory and hard disk space. I open a simple multi layered file that is 25 megs in size to work on it. Before I know it photoshop is taking 20gigs+ of my hard disk space along with 3+ gigs of system memory. Is there a memory problem in photoshop cs5?
Thanks!
Joseph

So I just opened the 25 meg file in photoshop cs5 and watched my free space on my hard drive go down 8 gigs the instant I opened it. It went from 27 gigs of freespace to 19 instantly.
I am running a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6., 4 gigs of ram on board.
anyone else having simular problems?

UPDATE:
So I just opened the 25 meg file in photoshop cs5 and watched my free space on my hard drive go down 8 gigs the instant I opened it. It went from 27 gigs of freespace to 19 instantly. As I open more files and close others it works till my harddrive goes to zero space... stalls the computer big time. Only way to correct it is to quit photoshop cs5 and wait a few minutes for the space to return... and it takes a few minutes for it all to return.

Problems installling Photoshop CS5.1 on Mac OS Snow Leopard Version 10.6.3

Hi I am having problems installing photoshop cs5 on a mac from a disk, when it gets to 26% it just freezes and I have to force an eject of the disk.
I am very new to macs with little training so any ideas much apprepriated.

You might want to update your OS (apple-menu > Software Update) and are you sure you have enough free disk space?

COM Problem windows7 & Photoshop CS5

Hello,
I am having a bit of a problem with instancing com objects for both photoshop x64 and x32 versions. both of which I have installed, and need available, due to legacy 32 bit plugins our studio relies upon for certain things.
The problem is that there seems to be only entries for the 64 bit version of CS5 in the registry.
Looking at the objects available in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT I have
Photoshop.Application
Photoshop.Application.12
Photoshop.Application.12.1
if I trace back the CLSID to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{xxx-xxx-....}\LocalServer32 this points to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe /Automation" for all of them. This is the same for each of the other objects such as Photoshop.JPEGSaveOptions etc..
all set the LocalServer32 to the 64 bit version. How can I get entries for the 32 bit version aswell?
I am guessing it might be possible to itterate all Photoshop.X entries in the registry and create new versions with new clsids that have the LocalServer32 set to the 32 bit version of photoshop?
Any help appriciated
thanks

Wow for sure! Here is some experiments I do to see what is going on. This is on a 64 bit windows 7 machine. I run as admistrator and with that annoying "are you sure you want to run the thing you just tried to run" OFF. User Access Control (UAC) I think is the official name.
I open up a command prompt, cmd.exe, in 64 bit mode. Window-R "cmd" (I haven't tried this with a 32 bit cmd prompt (H:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe).
Go to where the Sample Scripts are, doesn't matter wich version as the vbs files are the same. Mine is here:
H:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Scripting\Sample Scripts\VBScript
Make sure no photoshop is running and type in:
cscript Trim.vbs
Wait for the script to complete but do not hit the "ok" yet on the script.
Launch windows task manager and note that both Photoshop (you can tell when the splash screen launches as well) and csript are in 64 bit mode.
Now hit ok and quit Photoshop, wait for them both to be gone from task manager and type in:
\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript Trim.vbs
Now you see that both Photoshop and cscript are in 32 bit mode.
Now trying to "cross the wires" does not work.
Launch 64 bit photoshop first, then try to run the 32 bit script. You see that 32 bit won't launch, we block both 32 and 64 bit running at the same time, and the cscript will time out. Doing the 32 bit Ps and 64 bit cscript will cause the same problem.
Hope that helps you and you could be a way that you control which version of Photoshop gets launched for your case. I thought I read somewhere that you could talk from a 32 bit to a 64 bit via VBScript (OLE Automation) (Automation) but never could find or build a real example.

Fluid Mask 3 Problems in Photoshop CS5?

Hello,
I have been using Fluid Mask 3 to edit trees and skies in my photographs. When I am in Fluid Mask, I can get the mask to work perfectly and there is no fringing around the leaves or branches of the trees, no matter how fine the detail is. Impressive. The problem is when I go back to Photoshop and drop in another sky behind the trees, fringing reappears at the trees edges. In Photoshop, I use the defringing option which helps a bit but it is not perfect. I am perplexed my Fluid Mask 3. Why can't I get the same file in Fluid Mask 3 into Photoshop? There has to be a way I can get the exact file from Fluid Mask 3 into Photoshop CS5. Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
David

You'll have to ask the makers of FluidMask3 about that.

Cannot Open TIF file in LR3 but no problem in Photoshop CS5 or PE9 or any other software

Hi - I have a folder with about 300 tif files provided by someone else (I have no idea how they were produced). They use LZW compression and most of them are under 1mb in size.
I can open them in Photoshop CS5, PE 9, Paintshop Pro, Irfanview, Picassa, etc. without any problems.
When I try to import this folder LR3 gives the following message "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged".
I have uploaded a sample file http://www3.sympatico.ca/david.broughton/sample.tif
While I have worked around this by using Irfanview to do a batch conversion to jpg (the resulting files are successfully added to the catalog by LR3), I am hoping to understand this issue a little better to hopefully avoid it in the future.
Any insights would be welcome.
Thanks

The file should be called RT_sRGB.icm so you can search your hard-drive for that.
If you cannot find it, then you can download one from the RAWTherapee Google Code repository. Here is the branch for the RT color profiles. After you click on the profile you want, you can see various bits of information about changes, but to download the file, itself, click the “View raw file” link at the lower right:
http://code.google.com/p/rawtherapee/source/browse/rtdata/iccprofiles/output/
Once you have the file, right-click on it in Windows Explorer and choose Install Profile, which should copy it to the standard location of:
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color

Having problems with Photoshop CS5 running on 34 bit Vista

I recently downloaded CS5 Design premium, and I seem to be having trouble running bridge. I'm using MS Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2 on an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz. 3gb of RAM and 256MB GeForce 8500 GT graphics card (if that matters). I was wondering if there is a way to fix this, or maybe a 32-bit version of Photoshop CS5.
And if there isn't, is there a way to remove the bridge access buttons from photoshop? Seeing something useless in a five hundred dollar program bothers me quite a bit. Thanks in advance.

Apparently, something went wrong with your Photoshop installation. I would try fully uninstalling Photoshop and then run the "CS5 cleaner tool" (see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html). Then try reinstalling making sure you turn off all anti-virus software and UAC (User Account Control) and run as an Administrator equivalent.
If you still have problems, please contact Adobe Technical support directly.
To answer you question about the buttons, no, there is no way of disabling that functionality.

Photo RAW update installation problems for Photoshop CS5

I have Photoshop CS5. I was trying to import some photos taken with my Nikon D3200, but it said that it didn't recognize the camera. I then tried to d/l the update, but after almost finishing the installation, it would say that it couldn't install all the parts, and try again later. I did but with no luck. Anyone have this problem?

Ok, since you have 10.6.8, v 8.3 dng converter is the latest supported for that OS.

Problems Updating Photoshop CS5 to ACR 6.4 on Mac OS X

I have version 6.0.0.205 of ACR on a Mac OS X 10.6.7 system with Photoshop CS5 10.0.4. I tried several ways to update to ACR 6.4, but no success yet. What I have tried is below:
1) Using the update within Photoshop (Help -> Updates says applications are all updated).
2) Using the Camera_Raw_6_4_1_updater.dmg updater. It says "Update is not applicable"
I have tried rebooting my Mac. I have tried restarting Photoshop. I tried reinstalling Photoshop. I tried unstalling other versions of Photoshop (mostly by dragging them out of the Applications folder).
Any more suggestions?
Thanks!
Chris.
PS. I need the update to ACR for a new Nikon camera I have purchased. Its RAW images don't work with my version of ACR.

…I cannot find Camera Raw.8bi on my system. I tried Spotlight and locate (from the command line). I also tried searching for just 8bi. Same result…
That's because there's no such file on a Mac.
".8bi" is an extension that denotes a Windows file, which would not belong in a Mac—ever.
On a Mac the correct Camera Raw plug-in is labeled "Camera Raw.plugin".
Tangentially, I recommend downloading and using the free Easy Find utility, which will find any file on your Mac, including many that are off-limits to the intrusive, useless Spotblight.

Here's a strange problem in Photoshop CS5 Extended....

I finally got Photoshop CS5 Extended to open images new and existing by rolling back my video drivers.... Awesome, great, fantastic, euphoria ensues...... until I type some text and nothing appears..... Hmm... That's strange... I thought maybe it might be an old font Photoshop couldn;t recognize as I had read some here mention. Changed the font to Ariel... nope still nothing.... Changed font colors and such.. still it doesn't appear.
So I switch the the paintbrush and paint some random squiggles.... again nothing appears....
Anyone else have this happen? Did you fix it? If so and you can help me out I'll buy ya a doughnut

Considering your previous problems with the video card driver, try disabling OpenGL Drawing from Edit->Preferences->Performance. If that works then it means that it's still the video card driver causing the problems so uninstall the video card drivers, restart your system into Safe Mode, run DriverSweeper* and then install the drivers again.

RAM Problem: Adobe Photoshop CS5 vs. CS6

Hello,
I have a PSD with the size of 344 MB.
When I open it with Photoshop CS5, it take 1,38 GB from the RAM.
When I do the same with Photoshop CS6, it take 5,26 GB from the RAM.
Then CS6 works very slowly and I can forget to do anything with it.
I have a notebook with this technical data:
Intel Core i7 2Ghz
8 GB Ram
AMD Radeon HD 6850M 4GB
1000 GB HDD
The settings for performance of both Photoshop are the same.
Where is the problem?
Greetings

Doc size in Windows is 344 Mb.

Existing Actions and Plugins Compatible with Photoshop CS5?

I have actions and plug-in products, and while I've done everything I can to make them future-proof, I'm wondering if any Photoshop CS5 beta testers can speak to whether existing actions and plugins are generally compatible with Photoshop CS5?
Specifically:
Are existing 32 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
Are existing 64 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
Are existing actions (both platforms) proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
I'm anxiously awaiting the go-ahead to download my copy to verify everything, but I'm just trying to get a feel for whether I'll have work to do. I'm hoping for the level of compatibility seen in CS3 and CS4 - all my software worked perfectly with no changes.
Thanks.

I appreciate you all taking the time to answer, but none of you has actually said what DOES happen with your existing actions / plugins and CS5 beta.
I know that experience with one set of actions and plugins doesn't guarantee operation with another, but if, for example, someone actually stated, "all my old plugins failed to work with CS5" or "they all seemed to work okay" then I'd have a better idea of what to expect.
Please keep in mind I've been developing commercial actions since PS6 and plugins since CS2, and all my software works on all 32 bit versions and 64 bit CS4 on Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64, so I'm intimately familiar with what might happen and what should happen. Plus I've programmed them to be quite resilient, and I don't expect any of the CS5 feature changes to break them. What I don't know is whether Adobe has fundamentally altered the plugin interface this time around, or has deprecated any old filters, causing a plugin or action that used to work to fail now. The word "rewrite" has been used to describe CS5, and that has me wondering.
In short, I'm really looking for actual experience with the CS5 beta here.
Wish I could get the CS5 SDK already. I don't understdand why Adobe doesn't release that in advance.
Thanks.
