Problem With File Crashing in Photoshop CS5

Hello I have a design file that  I just created in Photoshop CS5 last night. I went in to do some editing today and it keeps craahing within a few seconds of being opened. I have never had this problem with a file before and I need it to turn in at work.  ANy helpful ideas out there on what may be happening? It's happened at least twenty times now....

If you do a search, you will find several threads dealing with file corruption in CS5/ CS5.1. The long and short of it is, that the file is a goner, but feel free to try things like opening it in another program (Art Rage, Corel Painter, GIMP) or image viewer (XnView, ACDSee) to recover at least parts of it...

  • Problem with Text tool in Photoshop CS5

    I just purchased PCS5 this morning and they told me that I should download the trial version till I get the actual CDs... I have Photoshop CS4 and never had any serious problems.  After downloading and installing CS5 it seems everything is working ok... however there are 2 problems...
    1. It does not interact with Bridge 4 (when I make changes in Bridge, CS5 does not see it)
    2. Any time I try to click on 'TEXT' tool icon, the application crushes... and I cant do anything... I have to restart the application.
    Dont care much about 1st problem, but can't do without the 2nd one....
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a million in advance

    Hi
    Have you tried following solutions?
    - update Photoshop to 12.0.4
    - remove bad & duplicated fonts and clear system font caches
    - update or uninstall 3rd party font management application
    - remove all 3rd party plugins including font management application plugin
    - launch Photoshop 32bit mode
    - upgrade your Mac OS
    If above solutions don't help, please contact me ([email protected]).

  • Problem with multiple downloads of photoshop cs5!! help!!

    Hi, I have adobe photoshop cs5 which i download from the adobe website. i downloaded it on my laptop, which has since stopped working properly. so i deactivated it permanently like a website said i should. i already have creative cloud on my new laptop, and I've been using the trial so far. its expired now, so i entered the serial code for my photoshop from my old computer. but it didn't work! it says the number is invalid. even without deactivating my old photoshop it should have worked because you are supposedly allowed 2 downloads on separate computers. why dint it working? what did i do wrong?

    CS5 has nothing to do with Creative Cloud. they are separate versions. You need to actually install CS5.

  • Problem with file association in Photoshop

    I am using Adobe Photoshop CS4, and I also have Adobe After Effects on my computer (which I don't use).  For some reason, when I click on a photograph in Adobe Bridge, the After Effects program opens, but the photo I want to open in Photoshop does not open.  I have reset the file associations in Photoshop, but Bridge ignores the settings and will only open After Effects.  How can I prevent this and return to having Photoshop open my photographs?
    Thank you for your help.

    Might try posting in the Bridge forum.
    If you're runign a Macinotsh, you an trash the bridge.plist but that's not always a good idea so don't do that till you know there's no better answer.

  • Batch Printing with File Names in Photoshop CS5

    How can I batch print hundreds of images with the file name on each of the print? I also need them to be printed at their original dimensions, which mean they should not be scaled when printed to papers.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for your response, Noel. However, the images to be printed at their actual dimensions and resolution (300ppi). This is so that we can see how their qualities are going to be when they are printed the actual publication, which is at 300ppi.
    What I used to be able to do in CS3 is creating an action in Photoshop that contains a print command with "label" or file name option on. Then I ran the script through the batch command in Bridge. However, in CS5, when I tried to same method, all of the images are printed at 1/2 an inch while they are actually 3-5 inches at 300ppi. Therefore, I am trying to another method that would give me the same result.

  • Problems with files opened in Photoshop from Lightroom

    Hi,
    I started editing a large number of files recently and came upon strange problems when sending files to Photoshop from Lightroom:
    1. Sometimes, all edits will be transferred to Photoshop except for the Lens Profile Correction. I tried clearing all changes and starting again, and it didn't work. However, if Lens Profile Correction is the ONLY change I make in Lightroom, it is correctly shown when the file is opened in Photoshop. [EDIT: I thought it was only the Lens Profile Correction, but with some files it appears other edits are disappearing too, such as cropping.]
    2. Sometimes, and I can't seem to find any pattern for this, files I sent to Photoshop will open as only "slices" of images. In fact, there is only one sliver of the image that gets opened. Sometimes it is a vertical line, sometimes a horizontal line, usually about 1/20 as thick as it is long. For that problem, I haven't found a solution yet.
    I am using the latest versions of Lightroom, Photoshop and Camera Raw, with RAW files created with a Nikon D7000 camera, on an iMac from 2011. I have no software or hardware problems apart from this.
    Here's hoping someone can help.
    Thanks!

  • Problems with selection marquee in Photoshop CS5.5 on MacBook Pro with Hi-Res Display

    A few months ago i bought a 15" MacBook Pro with the hi-res display (not retina display...just the higher res display offered prior to the release of the retina display).
    I'm having trouble with Photoshop and selection marquees. In particular, anytime I make a selection while viewing the image at 100% zoom level (so, actual pixels), the "marching ants" selection marquee I draw always shifts over a few pixels after I draw it.
    So I'll make a precise rectangular marquee around an object, and it will look right, until I release the button on my mouse. The moment I release the mouse button, the marquee shifts over a few pixels in both directions (vertically and horizontally).
    This has never happened on any version of Photoshop or on any Mac I've ever used before (and I've been using Photoshop for a LONG time on LOTS of different Macs), so I can only assume it has something to do with the Hi-Res display. This same version of Photoshop works just fine on my previous MacBook Pro laptop. But after installing it on the new MacBook, immediately - and consistently, every time - it happens.
    If I zoom in and use the tool, it doesn't have the problem. It seems to only occur when viewing at 100% (which is usually for me), but it does do it EVERY TIME I use the rectangular marque tool.
    It's driving me a little bit batty.
    Anyone else?

    An update...I had thought to try changing the Open GL settings, but it didn't seem to make any difference. However, I hadn't realized that you need to restart Photoshop for changes made to the Open GL preferences to take effect, so I wasn't actually changing anything.
    Turns out, it's an Open GL drawing issue - and disabling it fixes the problem.
    Of course, you also lose all of the other enhancements that come from enabling Open GL drawing.
    I'm only leaving this discussion up in case anyone else with the same problem stumbles across the issue.

  • Problem with printing 6x4 from Photoshop CS5 to Epson 2880

    Hi,
    bit of an odd one. I can print A3 and A4 no problem, but when I try to print a 6 x 4 it looks like the printer is not reconising the size of the paper. It prints the image the right size, but as though it were printing it on a larger sheet of paper, in the left hand side with a a 5cm space to the right (which is actually the top of the image).
    I have set the printer to 6 x 4 for both image and paper.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I have an Epson 2200, but am assuming the drivers and print dialog accesing that driver and ICC profiles are very similar to Epson's 2880, which is the same size as the 2200.
    In order to print 6 x 4, whish isn't a standard page size in the print dialogs, are you setting up a custom page size? (Print > Print Settings > Page Size > Manage Custom Sizes) - This works fine here, but if the paper is the wrong size, it won't print. The print driver requires that the paper size actually be 6 x 4.
    Of course, an alternative approach might be to print on a standard paper size, maybe adding trim marks, and then cutting the page down to 6 x 4 after printing.
    If none of this helps, I suggest you contact Epson's tech support.

  • Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters?

    I recently tried to install Adobe CMM, as a pop-up window suggested after I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new computer, running Win7x64 Ultimate. Before trying to install CMM, my Akvis Sketch Plug-In for Photoshop worked fine. Afterwards, Akvis Sketch runs under the filters menu, but will not accept mouse clicks from my Wacom tablet. Prior to Adobe CMM, all was fine. Somehow, the frustrating attempt to use Adobe CMM broke links to Akvis Sketch.
    By the way, Adobe CMM setup tried to run and vanished without a trace - no indication of success or failure. CMM doesn't show on my control panel as installed software, so I can't de-install it.
    I did un-install Akvis Sketch and re-install it. No luck as a filter, nor as a stand-alone program.
    Additional point of interest - a second identical software/hardware workstation continues to run Akvis Sketch just fine because we didn't try installing Adobe CMM on that machine. It certainly looks like CMM is the culprit here.
    Since Akvis Sketch is broken as a stand-alone, I doubt that de-activating, uninstalling and then re-installing, re-activating Photoshop CS5 will help, but it will take a lot of time to recreate actions and re-install other add-ins, plus preferences settings.
    Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters, and have you found a work-around?

    Thanks for your response. Recent evidence points to Wacom's tablet driver, not the plug-in.
    Fact #1 - another identical system with ms mouse worked fine so I swapped out the Wacom tablet and bingo, the Akvis plug-in works again.
    Fact #2 - So does Amazon's Kindle for PC app, which also quit working after running the Adobe CMM setup I'd downloaded.
    Suggestion - since there's a legacy for CS5 users getting the "you should download CMM" pop-up, yet no need to do this, maybe Adobe should remove the CMM download page from its website - or flag this download as unneccessary for photoshop users. All Best, Charles Pierce.

  • I got some problems with my 3D in Photoshop can someone help me ?

    I got some problems with my 3D in Photoshop.I press the 3D button and its showing me nuthing.If someone can help me ...Please... Thanks.

    Yes, you have to have a document open or you can open a 3D file (OBJ, 3DS, DAE, LMZ, or U3D)
    If you open a document and then open the 3D Panel there are a variety of create 3D options.

  • Problems with files saving in a quicktime format

  • Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800

    Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800.
    Over the past month, I have had problems when transfering files from my harddrive, over Firewire 800 to a portable drive. I usually transfer very large files (20gb or more) to the portable drives for moving files around. When I drag a file over to copy onto a drive, the transfer starts normally. If I drag more files to copy over, the computer screen goes darker and a large icon comes up that looks like a power button icon. It tells me to restart, so I have to do a hard shut down on my G5. Weird. I also get the dark screen of death sometimes when I am transfering those large files and open another application to do some work while it's copying. It's killing me. I am having to sit here and wait for the transfer to finish before I can do anything.
    Any thoughts...

  • Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

    I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
    it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
    The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

    This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
    My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
    To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
    I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
    PDF XChange (my favorite)
    Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
    Adobe (the bloated monster)
    Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
    ABBYY
    And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
    Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
    I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
    Here is what I've learned for my situation
    The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
    all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
    When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
    what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
    If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
    A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
    In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
     The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
    I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

  • Unable to download from AppStore, updates,etc.Messages 'the installer is damaged' to 'there might be a problem with file ownership and permissions.' I am the owner and only user of a new MBP. What could be going on?

    Is anyone having the same type of problems I'm having with Lion. I have a new MacBook Pro, received 7 weeks ago, preinstalled with Leopard 10.6.7. I didn't migrate anything from my old iMac, wanted a clean install from the Apple Store. While there, I asked for the upgrade to Lion 10.7, however their system was down.
    I  installed it myself, wirelessly about a week later, and Apple emailed me a receipt. Now, I've had to call support directly last week when I lost Mail, Address Book, was unable to open Preview or iTunes, among other problems. Seemed fixed after a session that baffled even the store tech.  Now I am unable to download or install the recent Mac updates for Lion, from the App Store, could not install Adobe Reader, etc. Messages range from 'A network error has occured - Check your Internet connection and try again' to 'The Installer is damaged and cannot open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.'  All fail and I'll probably have to call Apple again. I am frustrated beyond words.  Logs 'Install's runner tool is not properly configured as a setuid tool', domain errors, 'attempt to write a readonly database, and on and on. I have barely done a thing on this computer except search online for help with these problems. Safari gives me a 'You are not connected to the internet' too often. Diagnostics disagrees. I do see wi-fi problems in the forum. Disk and permissions were fine at the beginning of the earlier problems, checked first by support tech. I'm not sure if support tech even knew. I was just happy they were fixed. Anyone have these download and/or install problems after a 'clean bill of health' so to speak, only a week ago?
