If your using Free Transform, then look at the Interpolation settings in the tool options bar
Try one of the Bicubic settings
(i have it set to Bicubic)
For rotating the Canvas look at the Image Interpolation settings under Photoshop (Edit)>Preferences>General and use one of the Bicubic settings
The standard Bicubic setting is a good all around setting

How can I draw in Photoshop CS6 with a touchscreen?
I recently got an Asus Q551L laptop with touchscreen and running on Windows 8.1 and cannot use the touchscreen to draw in Photoshop CS6. I can use it to choose a tool but when I drag my finger across a layer, it does not draw unless I start in the gray area surrounding the image. I have tested a few programs including Microsoft Paint and Illustrator CS6 and I can start drawing in the middle of the image like what I wanted; it's only Photoshop with this problem of not being able to draw unless I start at the edge. So how can I fix this?
Photoshop relies on the pressure sensitivity that is so popular with the Wacom tablets. This means that it ignores the capacitive pen when drawing. But seams to work fine for other features like accessing the UI buttons. I am not sure how this helps you since I do not know what pens will work on your screen. But maybe this will at least point you in the right direction.

If you're having problems making an extension for Photoshop CS6 with Configurator 3..
I was going to ask for help here, but before posting I decided to try one last experiment to see if it would work. Yesterday I tried making a simple one button panel inside Configurator and exporting it to Photoshop CS6. I put it in the plugins\panels directory. Start Photoshop, nothing... I tried looking at how to create an extension manually and signing it in order to install it with Extension Manager, and my brain nearly melted.
So today I tried installing an older version of Photoshop (CS 5.5). The difference was that I selected Photoshop CS5/CS5.5 in the create new panel dialog in Configurator instead of CS6. Export Panel..It worked! Then I tried the same thing for my install of Photoshop CS6, selecting Photoshop CS5/CS5.5 as before in Configurator's dropdown menu. Success!
I hope this helps anyone who was stuck in the same place as me.Hmm, okay I just had a problem. I used an swf with a hue strip made in actionscript inside an swf loader in configurator. Tried exporting this to PS CS6's panels folder, and to my surprise it complete broke all of the other extensions in that folder. (ie. Photoshop refused to load any other non-defualt extenstions at all just because one was borked.). Very very stupid. So I went back to PS CS5, everything was working perfectly. Then I closed it and went back to PS CS6, and suddenly my test panel was working again. I have no idea why PS CS5 "fixed" PS CS6, it doesn't make sense really. I think I'll be going back to CS5 to do all my work as CS6 is really buggy about extensions, and I really need a color wheel for painting.

PS CS4 problems with OpenGL drawing enabled
I've just upgraded from PS CS3 to PS CS4 (default 32 and 64 versions) and I'm having problems with seeing image files above a certain size (even moderate size) with OpenGL Drawing enabled. Disabling OpenGL Drawing results in very slow image display (very easy to see the blocks being drawn one at a time), much slower than with PS CS3.
I'm running Vista 64 with latest updates. I'm trying to get PS CS4 32 running properly first, but PS CS4 64 seems to be having similar problems.
GeForce 9600 GT video card with latest driver 178.24 (updated yesterday and rebooted many times since then). That card is in Adobe's list of tested cards.
Main monitor (where I display Photoshop images) selected as primary in the driver dialog.
I put palettes/panes on my 2nd monitor.
I use Ultramon for 2nd monitor taskbar functionality. Turning Ultramon off doesn't seem to help, although I may need to disable Ultramon from launching on reboot.
No plugins installed yet in PS CS4 (32), as per Adobe kb advice.
4GB of RAM with Memory Usage set within Photoshop's Ideal Range.
For testing, I've been opening a few different size (px and bytes) RGB image files in Photoshop by dragging them from an Explorer window into the Photoshop window, then clickin in the Photoshop window to make Photoshop active and show its palettes.
First with OpenGL Drawing enabled in Performance, default Advanced Settings.
JPEG, 3600 x 2600 px, 4.5MB
- opens and displays ok (short delay before palettes appear)
- zooms and rotates smoothly
TIFF, 2 layers, 800 x 600 px, 16 bits, 2.5MB
- opens and displays ok (short delay before palettes appear)
- zooms and rotates smoothly
TIFF, 1 layer, 3600 x 2600 px, 16 bits, 54MB
- doesn't open properly, shows checkerboard instead of image, with checkerboard in navigator and layer icon in layers pane
- histogram is fine
- zooming and rotation are not smooth (jumps to new position/size)
- duplicate layer caused PS CS4 to stop working, with a close program dialog
- open PS CS4 32 again, no OpenGL message today, and OpenGL Drawing is still enabled (although I got the OpenGL Drawing message more than once yesterday)
TIFF, several layers, 3600 x 2600 px, 16 bits, 306 MB
- doesn't open properly, shows checkerboard instead of main image
- icons in layers pane look fine, same as navigator image
- checkerboard zooms and rotates smoothly
- duplicate layer is still checkerboard, back one history state stopped working / close program dialog
- started PS again, opened 1 layer TIFF, closed and tried to open multi layer TIFF again, but stopped working / close program dialog again
I then tried the same images with OpenGL Drawing disabled in Performance.
3600 x 2600 px JPEG
- ok, but slow, blocky redraw
2 layer 800 x 600 px TIFF
- ok, but slight delay in redraw (smallest of all the files, both in px and bytes)
1 layer 3600 x 2600 px TIFF
- opened ok, but slow, blocky redraw
multi layer 3600 x 2600 px TIFF
- opened ok, but slow, blocky redraw
From what I've read in various Adobe kb notes, it sounds like there's some kind of conflict with my video driver, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I even tried the registry plugin from the Adobe kb to disallow OpenGL Windows, but that didn't seem to make any difference. It didn't even stop me being able to select and use OpenGL Drawing in PS CS4.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm tearing my hair out here and I'm feeling a bit like I've blown my money on the upgrade so far.I had another look at PS CS4 64 and those smaller (by file size) images that I can see with OpenGL Drawing on rotate and resize in a jumpy way, not smoothly like in PS CS4 32.
The multi layer TIFF that showed the images in at least the layers pane and navigator when using PS CS4 32 only shows the checkerboard in the layers pane and navigator in PS CS4 64.
Either way, neither version is anywhere near working properly.
Oh yeah, and I made a typo on the RAM. It's 6GB and not 4GB, not that I think that would make any difference. -
Problem with alt key in Photoshop CC2014
I'm running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 Release under Win 7 on a dual monitor system 12 G ram, i7 processor, and a Radeon HD 6700 Graphics card. Everything was working fine until a few days ago. The first problem I noticed was in using ALT-left click to reduce zoom. CTRL-left click zoomed up OK but ALT-left click acted almost like I was pressing the F key to change the view. There are work-arounds for zooming so I continued working. Then I found I could not add a black mask to a layer by pressing ALT while clicking the add layer mask button on the layer panel. I also found that ALT didn't work right in ACR. For example in ACR holding down the ALT key changes the Cancel button to Reset, but clicking on Reset doesn't in fact reset any of the sliders.
I've closed and reopened Photoshop which helped for a short while but the problem came back. I opened Photoshop with the SHIFT-CTRL-ALT keys held down and accepted the resulting dialog box offer to delete preferences, which helped but again the problem returned. I've deleted and redownloaded Photoshop two or three times to no avail, and the last time I also checked that alt key combinations in both Bridge and Lightroom work OK at the same time they are not working in Photoshop. I haven't seen the Alt key misbehave in any application but Photoshop.
I would any suggestions any of you might have about what is wrong.
Message was edited by: Bob Roby to fix typos.Just to clarify, are you referring to Alt Space bar left click and drag for zoom? If yes, then that needs 'Use GPU' enabled in Preferences > Performance. So can you check that? It actually works with either Ctrl or Alt together with the space bar. Left mouse click and drag left and right to zoom in and out.
If GPU is checked, can you try some different settings?

Acrobat 9 pro and problems with pdf made by photoshop cs4
Hello,
I have encountered a problem when viewing pdfs exported from photoshop cs4 using acrobat pro 9. If I open single pdf, it's ok, but whenever I open another pdf, all text is jagged. Then if I close all pdfs and try opening the second one, it's ok again. It looks like acrobat is not able to render texts correctly in newly opened pdf when another pdf is already opened.
This happens only with pdfs exported from photoshop (file->save as->pdf). It does not really matter if the first opened pdf is from photoshop or not, all other opened pdfs from photoshop are crapy.
I tried different settings when saving pdf but the results are always the same - jagged type (it does not even look like aliased, it's completely screwed and unreadable) in second pdf. It is funny because text present as smart object from illustrator renders fine all the time. Therefor I think the problem is between photoshop export and acrobat, vectors are rendered with no problems.
I tried opening on different pc (also with acrobat 9 pro) with the same result. Systems are vista on exporting pc, the second pc is running windows7 beta. However on the third pc with windows XP and adobe reader 9 everything works fine.
Any ideas how to make this work?
regards,
embeeSolution found for me. From Adobe Acrobat & Reader 9.1 Release Notes:
Roaming Profiles on Windows and Networked Home Directory on Macintosh
are not supported configurations for 9.0 or 9.1, however we have made
several fixes in 9.1. We are looking at the possibility of supporting
this for the next major release.
As I am working with roaming profiles, my current solution (which is no solution at all) is to wipe current and reinstall Acrobat/Reader 8. Among other things there are supposed console hacks to make the purchased Adobe software run at all in a group work environment. I will end up trying them later.

Problem with PDF 1.3-Export: Photoshop-Files with transparency over InDesign colored objects
Hello!
I'm using InDesign CS6.
I'v finished now a layout for a folder, and I put a photoshop-image with transparency over a InDesign-rectangle which I have filled with a cmyk-color in yellow.
When I export a PDF with the Settings "PDF X-3:2002" (with PDF-Standard 1.3) the Photoshop-image shows uggley jagged edges at the border to the InDesign-colored background. However, the Photoshop-images which are over another bitmap-image (as background), this images don't show this annoying edges.
When I export to PDF-Standard 1.4 the problem doesn't occor, however my printing-service requests PDF 1.3.
I know, the workaround for this problem is, to replace the yellow background-color with an bitmap-file with the same color, but is there any other option to get a correct result without this more time-consuming image trick?
I think it has to do with the transparency reduction which is necessary if using PDF 1.3. When I examine the PDF-File in Illustrator, this edges occurs mostly at the borders from the tiles in which the image is cut during the transparency reduction process. Although, if I open the rendered PDF in Photoshop this jagged edeges are visible, so it is definitly a render error.
I would be glad if someone of you has a solution for this problem, in the attachment is an image which illustrate the problem.
Best wishesFind another printer.
End of problem. It really saddens me to think that these Luddites are
still in business making no effort to move into the 21st century.

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.

Problem with simple drawing program - please help!
Hi,
I've only just started using Java and would appreciate some help with a drawing tool application I'm currently trying to write.
The problem is that when the user clicks on a button at the bottom of the frame, they are then supposed to be able to produce a square or circle by simply clicking on the canvas.
Unfortunately, this is not currently happening.
Please help!
The code for both classes is as follows:
1. DrawToolFrame Class:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class DrawToolFrame extends Frame
implements WindowListener
DrawToolCanvas myCanvas;
public DrawToolFrame()
setTitle("Draw Tool Frame");
addWindowListener(this);
Button square, circle;
Panel myPanel = new Panel();
square = new Button("square"); square.setActionCommand("square");
circle = new Button("circle"); circle.setActionCommand("circle");
myPanel.add(square); myPanel.add(circle);
add("South", myPanel);
DrawToolCanvas myCanvas = new DrawToolCanvas();
add("Center", myCanvas);
square.addMouseListener(myCanvas);
circle.addMouseListener(myCanvas);
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event) { System.exit(0); }
public void windowOpened(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowIconified(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowDeiconified(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowClosed(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowActivated(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent event) {}
2. DrawToolCanvas Class:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class DrawToolCanvas
extends Canvas
implements MouseListener, ActionListener {
String drawType="square";
Point lastClickPoint=null;
public void drawComponent(Graphics g) {
if (lastClickPoint==null) {
g.drawString("Click canvas first",20,20);
} else {
if (drawType.equals("square")) {
square(g);
else if (drawType.equals("circle")) {
circle(g);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
if (event.getActionCommand().equals("square"))
drawType="square";
else if (event.getActionCommand().equals("circle"))
drawType="circle";
repaint();
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
lastClickPoint=e.getPoint();
public void square(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.fillRect(lastClickPoint.x, lastClickPoint.y, 40, 40);
g.setColor(Color.black);
public void circle(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.fillOval(lastClickPoint.x, lastClickPoint.y, 40, 40);
g.setColor(Color.black);
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {}
Any help would be appreciated!Some of the problems:
1) nothing calls drawComponent(Graphics g)
2) Paint(Graphics g) has not been overriden
3) myCanvas is declared twice: once as an instance variable to DrawToolFrame, and once local its constructor. Harmless but distracting. -
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!Fireworks doesn't save or export in Quicktime format.

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.

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.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
