Ps 3d and filters and save for web are not working the way they should

At work we just put cs6 on a w7 machine running 64 bit which has more than that required mem and or ram to run cs6 - unfortunately I have to use a windows based machine at work (cheapskates). Anyways. I see the 3d menus and the filter menu in PS but they aren't funtional. The filter menu drop down is there but Liquify is the only one that shows up the rest are gray. The option to choose 3d is also there but they are not functional (grayed out) - I took a look at some online tutorials on using the 3d effect in PS CS6 and Ive gone through it a few times and it still won't work for me. Also, in illustrator when I save for web - when I adjust the pixel dimensions and move the mouse over and click on the image that I am saving for web nothing happens and I'm completely boggled about how to get the image size to change in the save for web pane. Typically I am used to being able to input the the number into the pixel dimenion field and click on the image and the image resizes (on a mac you can either click on the image or hit return and the image will resize in front of your eyes!). I am unable to get this to work the way I am used to, this happens for me in both ill5 and ill6 on this piece of crap windows machine. Maybe I just need to reinstall? Maybe adobe has changed the way this works? Maybe a sledge hammer into this windows machine would solve all my problems!? IDK. someone help... help me... pleeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssseeeee

unfortunately I have to use a windows based machine at work (cheapskates).
This gets a "stupid comment of the day" medal. Seriously. These days Macs are just as convoluted and effed up as Windows was a few years ago - nice as long as everything works, but god forbid you have a problem. So by all means, update your graphics driver and be glad that you actually have that choice rather than having to wait half a year for Apple to fix it...

"Save for Web" does not work with mac OS 10.6

Everything else runs fine with PSE 6 and OS 10.6, but nothing (!) happens when choosing "Save for Web" (German Version).

Here are the directions for PSE 6 in general:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/422596?tstart=30
and for save for web:
Finally, to make the Save For Web work, you must do the same thing as above (which is make a folder owner be a non-admin account, and fix the read/write so that in 10.4 the You can says Read & Write). The folder to change with the "command i" get info is :
/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/File Agent/6.0/en_US.
Once this en_US file is owned by a non-admin account and the Read & Write is set, and the padlock is unlocked, the Save For Web works.

Elements 10 - "Save for Web" function not working.

No response when clicked. Menu closes. That's all. As far as I know, everything else is fine. Using Win7-Home Prem.

Ken --
First of all thank you for taking an interest in this problem.
Honestly, I'm not sure if it ever worked. I've used the function but I'm not sure if the last time I used it I was using Elements 8 or Elements 10. Sorry.
Yes, I have installed additional plug-ins and filters a few of which I found on the internet. Are there any that you know of that could cause Save for Web to stop? I'm guessing yes or you wouldn't have asked.
The file you asked about is there in the folder specified.

Save For Web is not working

I just had my software updated from CS to CS5 (I'm in a new job and asked for this upgrade) and now when I go to Save For Web I get the following:
Error
The operation could not be completed
The system cannot find the path specified
Notes:
- This wasn't an issue before the upgrade
- I tried pulling the files off of the server and working from the desktop, no go
- I'm working on a PC but am a Mac user, therefore system q's are going to be tough for me to answer

It may be that the plug-in isn't reporting a problem with the path of the file, but some other path (e.g., to a temporary folder or scratch disk).
Double check (or have your system guru check) that the folder identified by the TEMP environment variable can be written/read by your account on the computer. Make the same check for the root folder(s) of the hard drive(s) identified as scratch drives in Edit - Preferences - Performance.

Save for web & devices not working (CS4)

I noticed today that I can't save for web & devices any more. when I try it shuts down the program and gives me the following message to send a crash report:
Adobe has detected that the application Adobe Illustrator CS4 has unexpectedly quit.
this started as a Photoshop CS4 problem where I also can't save for web & devices any more. before people jump down my throat again for mentioning this Photoshop problem on the Illustrator forum - this is for context only. I have the same problem in both applications. I just include this information here in case it helps. the Photoshop message I get is:
The operation can not be completed.
savign for web & devices worked totally fine up till last night in Photoshop. haven't saved anything out of Illustrator for web & devices in a while but it used to work just fine.
I have a PC and use Windows 7. All my Adobe products are up-to-date.
Any help is much appreciated. Thx a lot!

thank you very much. at least it happened before. I was seriously doubting myself. tried trashing preference files multiple times, but that didn't help. will reinstall everything and see if that does the trick.
thanks again!

Save for web preview not working in Photoshop CS4

Hello all.
I'm having a problem with Save for Web in Photoshop 11.0.2. Basically, whenever I move to save an image using "Save for Web & Devices," the preview window is stuck in GIF mode. I can move the Preset settings to any of the choices, and also change to any of the 5 image types underneath, but only a GIF setting at 100% dither/Selective palette/256 colors preview will show in the preview window.
I have trashed both the Adobe Save for Web 11.0 Prefs and the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist files, and have repaired permissions, but this doesn't resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
--jody radzik.

I fixed the problem by erasing "Save for Web" from within Photoshop rather than outside in the file tree.

Save for Web Matte Not Working?

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with the Matte settings in the Save for Web section to create a smooth transparent .gif image. None of the black matte is showing up in the zoomed preview (picture attached), nor is it saving when I render the file. The adjusted transparent image still appears with the white jagged halos on a black web page background, even though I set a black matte. Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Sorry, I haven't used the matte feature of Save for Web, so I can't help you there. (I only save in PNG format.)
This is an interesting question, though, and I spent a few hours working on it -- I'm still assuming that you're starting with a logo supplied as a bitmap image (GIF or JPG) on a white background and want to clean it up so it works on a black background.
FWIW, here are my thoughts:
I found a logo on the Web to use for practice:
This is a tough example which has a lot of problems, as you can see from this enlargement:
The colours "bleed" when next to each other, the colour areas have darkened edges, the colours (and even the white background) are "splotchy" and not uniform, the edges are anti-aliased and have multiple colours in 'em, and so on.
The fact is that a supplied image like that is only suitable for use as a guide for completely re-creating the logo.
You have two choices for re-creating it:
Work on it as a bitmap image.
Work on it as a vector drawing.
Either way, you're going to do a lot of handwork. I haven't found a way to automatically correct the problems that I mentioned.
If you work on it as a bitmap in PSE, you'll wind up re-drawing by hand each pixel (or each edge of a colour selection, which amounts to about the same thing).
What I wound up doing is using a vector drawing program (CorelDraw, since I can't afford Illustrator) to recreate the logo. Even though I'm quite rusty, it didn't take too long to use the Bezier curve tool to create the coloured shapes. I simply used CDR's bitmap trace tool to vectorize the type. Once I had the vector drawing, everything is wonderful because vector shapes are resolution and size independent. It was a snap to export the drawing for the Web as a transparency-enabled PNG image without anti-aliasing, reducing it by 85%:
Hope these thoughts help....

Save for Web & Devices Not working

I am in the middle of creating a new web page using CS5 - sliced the components of the page and saved via Web and Devices as an html page.
Now when I want to go and save an ordinary jpg to post on my blog,via Web and Devices it only gives me the option of saving as an html file and there are no options to save as jpg or any other format.
Any clues as to how to reset the Save for Web and Devices setting so I can save in any other format other than html?

I installed the latest version AND the beta and with both I have the same problem: After I install, they both work the way they should. When I turn off my computer and get back on later, Firefox is NOT "installed", according to my computer.

''locking as a duplicate of this - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/791340''
I installed the latest version first. When I was done, Firefox was working great. I got off and went back on to my computer later. Firefox was not there, but the shortcut was. I got this error that the item that referred to the shortcut was no longer there. I uninstalled. I tried the beta (4) and the same exact issue occured.

ryansaint11,
this isn’t Apple support; this is a user-to-user forum. We’re just fellow users of Apple products here.
If you want to boot from your SSD, then you should put the SSD where your HDD currently is, and put the HDD into the optical bay. (That setup will also get you the best performance.) At the moment, you’re still booting from your HDD. Note that you will need to format your SSD in Disk Utility [with the “Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)” format] so that you can install OS X onto it.
Since you have an Early 2011 model, it might or might not have originally come with grey installation DVDs. You will be able to find out whether it did or not by trying to use OS X Internet Recovery to install OS X onto your SSD. If it does not work, or if the installed OS turns out to be Snow Leopard, then it will have originally come with the DVDs, and you should purchase a replacement pair of DVDs from Apple or iFixit; those discs will have your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test and its iLife apps. If the installed OS turns out to be Lion, then it will not originally have come with the grey installation DVDs, and your Apple Hardware Test will be installed along with Lion, and your iLife apps will be downloadable from the Mac App Store.

Please use code tags when posting code. There is a
button labeled code right above the text box
where you type in your post.
Your first problem occurs herepublic static
void main(String args[]) {
if (args.length == 1) {
new project1().setLocation(args[0]);
else {
System.out.println("Usage: project1 [Array File
y File Path]");
}This code executes when you first launch the
application. It checks to see if there were any
arguments in the comman line. If the number of
arguments is not equal to 1, then you get the Usage
output. You must launch the program with one
argument.I tried java project1 C:\\Temp.txt, but it still ends up with a NullException handler. I edited the code and added a catch for it so it returns File doesn't exist, but I swear it does and I'm pointing to it correctly...

Save for Web does not open dialog box in PS Elements 8 for Mac

After opening an image and selecting Save for Web, the Save for Web dialog box fails to appear. I've seen similar reports for PS Elements 6 for Mac, but did not find the same files in those directories. Running iMac with OS 10.6.

There are many things that only work in an admin account, but if you're willing to take the trouble, you can change the permissions to allow them to work in a standard account. See:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/362899
Note that it's pretty important to run Save for Web one time in the admin account after changing the permissions or it still won't work in the standard account.

All graphics / vector in Save for Web are getting blurry / unsharp from Illustrator

All graphics / vector in Save for Web are getting blurry / unsharp from Illustrator. Same problem with save for web in Photoshop. Frustrating to be working as a designer and not be able to create sharp logos for mail sign, word templates, PPT templates etc etc. I purchased this Adobe Creative Cloud package in Sept, and are working on my Mac HD, OSX, Vers 10.9.4. I have been using the same programs on a PC for years and never had this same problem. Its frustrating!! What to do??

gif, jpg and png are pixel formats, so please clarify what the problem is supposed to be.
Screenshots or posted files might help.

What is the product number?
Did anything change before this started happening?
Power the system on and press F10 about once a second to get into BIOS. Once you are in BIOS, go to the configuration tab (typically next to last tab) and set Action Keys to enabled. Save the changes, exit, and the system should reboot automatically. Test the brightness keys wihtout pressing the Fn key. I suspect they will not work in this state, but I want to rule out the possibilities while awaiting the product number.

Since I refreshed Firefox 36.0.4, "Save page as" and "save image as" are not working (even in Safe mode)

I refreshed FF 36.0.4 on invite. Since then "save page as " and "save image as" are not working -- no response when clicked.
In Safe Mode, same problem.
I serached past forum discussions and found several occurrences, but no convincing response.

I ran a malware check with Malwarebytes, no change.

People have had this problem in the past. No one has any idea of how to fix it?

Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.
