Problems with Brushes & Actions on Photoshop CS6

I'm using Creative Cloud and Photoshop CS6.
I work a lot with brushes and actions.
Everytime I close Photoshop, all my brushes and actions disappear and everytime, I need to upload them onto Photoshop. Over and over again.
What is going on?
Thanks for your help!

Trouble Creating Brush Tabs in Photoshop CS6

Hi,
I am having problems creating custom brush tabs in Photoshop CS6 using Adobe Configurator 4. I was trying to follow the instructions based off of this screenshot, but cannot seem to link the actions with the panel buttons I am creating.
Here is the screenshot:
I saved my brushes into several different files as specified. I am unexperienced however using Actions in photoshop. I tried recording the loading of each brush file into photoshop and saved them as actions. Regarding Adobe Configurator, I am not sure whether I am supposed to create Action buttons, Script buttons, or Script File buttons to link the brushes in photoshop.
I have tried figuring out on my own but receive error messages such as: Syntax Error, and, this command is currently unavailable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Here's an example of a simple panel using the Action buttons in configurator 4.
While recording the actions in photoshop for use in your panel:
If you want to load a Brush preset on your list in photoshop, click on the name and then in the next dialog click OK
(as in the Assorted action)
(Append adds to the already loaded presets)
If you want to load a brush preset from your hard drive, use Replace Brushes and then click OK in the next dialog
(as in the Pen Pressure action)
In configurator, the action linked to a specific button needs to be named in the Basic Attributes using the action set name and name of the action as they appear in your recorded actions
This is pdf help for configurator 4

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.

Creating Actions in Photoshop CS6...

I am running Windows 7. I created an Action in Photoshop CS6 that includes placing a rectangle and a logo on the bottom right hand corner of my images and then centered in the middle of the rectangle is text of the event (Event name, Location, Date). After creating everything, I flatten the image, resize it down to a size reasonable for the web, then I save the image to a folder, close the document and click on the STOP button in the Actions panel.
Afterwards, I go into File>Automate>Batch and choose the Action that I just created. In running the action, I notice that the text that I placed into the rectangle on my document is now scaling down to a considerably much smaller size than what I had it set to.
Can you tell me why this is happening and how to correct it?
Help???
Thank you,
Julia

Are all the document you ran the action on the same size as the document you recorded the action on? If not did you scale the text so it would be scaled to the current document size and appear the be relatively the same size text that you added to the document you recorded the action on. You may want to have a look at my crafting actions package there is a sample watermarkinf action that handles size.

When attempting to use Lightroom external editor program to edit a photo in Photoshop Elements 10, the photo does not open / appear on photoshop elements screen. I don't have any problem with this when using Photoshop Elements 6 or Photoshop CS. I'm using a Mac with Mountain Lion OS. Any solutions?

Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

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.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

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.

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.

Problems with brushes showing in Brush Preset fly-out window - CS6

I've loaded a set of brushes I created into CS6. They show up fine in the menu bar brush window, in the Preset Manager, in the Brush Preset palette above my layers palette, but they will not appear in the brush preset fly-out window. This is where I do all the manipulating of my brushes, of course, so this is essential. I have created many, many brushes and done this many, many times and have never had this problem. Any thoughts on what's going on? PS CS6 on a Mac.

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

Problem with images opened in Photoshop CS 5

Hi, I have a problem with images that I open in Photoshop CS 5. F. ex. I opened
the following image:
The image appears with a purple color in Photoshop. If I hover over the image
with a tool like lasso, it temporarily regains it´s original color. The image mode is RGB Color, 8 Bits/Channel.
I resetted the start settings of Photoshop with the CTRL-Shift-Alt-combination, which had no effect.

The confusion arises from the imprecise error message in the Preferences > Performance dialog box, to wit:
OK, that seems to be open to misunderstanding indeed.
The video card: Citrix Systems Inc. Display Driver.
Could not find a list for CS6 specifically, but the card may fall short.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tested-video-cards-photoshop-cs5.html
If I invoke View > Proof Colors, the only thing that changes is that the text in the brackets
Also if you set View > Proof Setup to something different?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Problem With Brushes Pressure CS5

Hello all.
I'm using a Photoshop Cs5 with a Wacom Cintiq 12wx Tablet (I'm using PC with WinXP).
I'm having some problems withe the pressure, it doesn't work on Photoshop, (I tried it on CS3 & CS5), and I did clicked on the Tablet options in PS.
The pressure just don't responds.
I Think its becuse I can't change the Minimum Diameter in any Brush.
Plus when I change the Control part to Pen Pressure, a little warning sign is appering ( a triangel with an exclamation mark insaid ), how ever when I click on it [to see what the problem is ,nothing happens].
I have to point out that in the Cintiq Tablet Properties it's all fine, the pressure respond(in the meter)
I tried making a different settings for Photoshop, it didn't help. Can any one Pleas help me?

Usually, this is an issue with the wacom driver needing to be updated.
A few people have also found that the Windows tablet settings can also mess things up.

Problem with Light Table in Bridge CS6

Hi! After a re-install (which didn't fix the problem with PS), I now find that, when using the light table in Bridge CS6 and after hitting the space bar, if I then click on the image, it goes to 800% size! Prior to the uninstall & re-install, it worked perfectly in taking images to 100% size.
Hope someone can help.......
Thanks, Wardie

Why did you reinstall photoshop cs6?
What operating system are you using?
Did you reinstall all the updates for photoshop cs6 by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6?
After you enter the light table, use your mouse scroll wheel to zoom back to 100% and exit the light table.
The next time you go to the light table and click on the picture it should only go to 100%.

Problems in the installer adobe photoshop CS6

Personal,
I need urgent help.
Already researched on the Internet, but so far unable results.
I'm not cinseguindo install any Adobe product on my computer.
When I go to install, appears mansagem:
"We found the segintes problems: Failed installer boot Download the Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
I've spent the CCleaner, Revo Uninstaller, Advanced Care System and the RegSeek. Deleted and deleted all of my machine Adobe programs, already deleted all the records, but yet the problem persists.
Could anyone help me?
hugs,
BergLino

After several days of this annoying me and trying various different things, I finally found the solution!!
Open Terminal and run this command and it will reset the launch services to let it work properly.
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.fra mework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -domain locat -domain system -domain user
The problem began for me once I removed photoshop because the update kept failing. So I uninstalled photoshop cs6 using their uninstall script, and then re-installed it with the creative cloud application manager. From then on I could not "double click" on a .PSD to open photoshop directly, but "open with" would work. Very strange.. but the above command fixed it.
Here are some screenshots of the issue:
