PS CS3: Unable to edit gradient

Hi all,
I've recently (only in the last 3 runs) been having issues with Photoshop CS3 for Mac, whereby it won't let me edit the gradient.
Clicking in the gradient window (top bar, when the Gradient tool is selected) would ordinarily open the gradient dialogue box, allowing colours and (more important) transparency to be set. However, clicking it now sets my tool to eyedropper, and the top bar to "Sample size: Point Sample". In addition, it freezes in this way, not functioning at all until I press Escape, and then returns to the previous state (Gradient tool & bar, but lo, no dialogue).
Does anyone have any ideas about possible fixes?
Sorry to post here, but I haven't found anyone else report this problem, and it's a painful niusance!
Many thanks,
Richard

the best way to reset prefs without trashing everything else in the photoshop settings folder.
From the Photoshop help files:
Restore all preferences to default settings
Do one of the following:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings.

  • Unable to edit page source in CS3

    For some reason I am unable to edit page source in an
    external application in CS3. I can't figure out why I used to be
    able to, and now i can't. please advise

    If you want to open the source code in an editor of your choice you can change two hidden settings.
    Type '''about:config''' into the location bar. Accept the warning message that pops up, this brings up a lot of settings. You then need to change 2 of the settings that appear, for details on the 2 settings see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/View_source.editor.external view_source.editor.external] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/View_source.editor.path View_source.editor.path]
    You can also change those 2 settings by using an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/394/ Dafizilla ViewSourceWith]

  • I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop.

    I just installed Lightroom 5.3, and I have Photoshop CS5.1 installed. The problem is that I am unable to edit an image in Photoshop. When I click Photo>Edit In, the option for Photoshop is not active (i.e., it's not black), so I can't click on it. Why are the options for Photoshop and all of the other Photoshop related options, such as Merge to Panorama, etc., not active? In Preferences I have the following settings: File Format = TIFF; Color Space = ProPhotoRGB; Bit Depth = 16 bits; Resolution = 240; Compression = None. I am using Windows 7.

    Chris:
    I have to apologize for being misleading on my request for help in
    resolving the problem.
    Actually the version I am using is CS2 not CS3.
    Yesterday I tried numerous times, and ways, to edit an image and each time
    it refused to allow me to save it.
    The software program just shut down. This evening when I decided to give it
    another try it worked perfect.
    Guess the program just took the day off.
    Thank you for offering to help

  • Unable to edit div in cs 3

    http://mnbuildsmart.org/directory.html
    there is a div un Build smart directory.
    In dreamweaver 8 and cs 3 I am able to edit this dive In CS 3
    (Contibute 4.1) the whole div does not show up, and we are unable
    to edit. This is for a customer of mine and they are looking at buy
    one or more copies of Contribute and then pay me for web work. I am
    highly motivated to get this solved.
    Attached is the code and the stylesheet. the contentleftdir
    is the div I am concerned about. The style sheet passes validation
    John

    I tested your source code in Contribute CS3, and the div
    seems to be editable after doubleclicking it. This is caused by the
    combination of Contribute handeling css and the settings for
    contentLeftDir, more specific the height setting and overflow. When
    you remove these, the div can be edited normally.
    #contentLeftDir {
    width: 318px;
    padding: 30px;
    float: left;
    height: 525px;
    overflow:auto;
    Maybe you can solve this issue by placing two editable
    regions inside of each of your placement divs (contentLeftDir and
    contentRightDir) instead of placing the divs inside one editable
    region.
    Or you can tell the client to double click the div of
    course.

  • DW CS3 fireworks table edit

    DW CS3 fireworks table edit opens Fw, but fw doesn't show the
    .png file correctly.(I can't see the changes on the content areas
    that I made in DW)
    If I attach a behaviour (eg. rollover effect) to the file, it
    works properly in fw. After pressing the "Done" button in fw, it
    closes fw, goes back to DW, but doesn't send the changes to DW.
    Can someone please help me?

    Yep, I had the exact same problem... even the icon didn't
    show correctly in
    the PI.
    I backed up my registry and did a Find for 'Fireworks' and
    deleted all
    references to the old Fireworks versions, even FW8 (I had
    uninstalled it).
    Now I have my icon back and FWs CS3 now works with DW CS3
    I did say, make a backup of the registry before proceeding
    btw :-)

    thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
    Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

  • Function Module "RSDRD_SEL_DELETION" / Unable to edit selection

    Dear experts,
    I am currently working on FM "RSDRD_SEL_DELETION". I am testing it in SE37.
    However, when I try to enter selection I_THX_SEL, it tells me:
    Unable to edit the object
    Message no. MO704
    Diagnosis
    You tried to edit an object that cannot currently be edited using the editor for complex objects. Possible causes:
    The object is an object reference
    The object is a hashed table
    The object list a string
    The object has the type REF TO DATA
    The object contains object references
    The object contains hashed tables
    The object is a string
    The object contains strings
    A subcomponent of the object has a width that exceeds 65,000 characters.
    Can anyone tell me how to make it work?

    Sorry! The code was meant only as example, as I would convert it. The names of the infoObjects are naturally differently. It concerns to me rather the understanding whether the data records are deleted individually in each case. Or all those the conditions of <b>NUMBER</b> fulfill and all those the conditions of <b>DATE</b> fulfill. I would like to delete however only the data records, which fulfill these conditions together.

  • WebElements - Unable to edit WEPlatform

    Hi,
    I am new to WebElements and wanted to have a look at the functions to see how I can use in my reporting suite.
    I am using CR11 and seem to be unable to edit the WEPlatform element to select the Crystal Reports version that I use.
    I notice when I open the WebElements 246.rpt that it advises me that the report was written in a later version of Crystal.
    Is this why I cannot edit the WEPlatform element ? If so how can I obtain a version of the web elements thjat will work with my Crystal version ?
    Any help will be great.
    Cheers,
    Matt

    hi Matt,
    the users guide isn't really clear on this...i will make sure that this gets changed for the next release.
    as webelements are Custom Functions you have to disconnect them from your repository to edit them. if you right click on the platform function and choose disconnect from repository then you can edit the function to match your platform.
    once you've changed the function, you can add it back into your repository overwriting the existing one...that way when you  build a new report using webelements you don't have to keep changing the platform function each time.

  • User unable to edit contacts

    I have a user with Outlook 2013 connected to an 2010 Exchange Server. I have a user that is unable to edit any existing contact, getting an error: Your changes cannot be saved because you don't have permission to modify some or all of the items in this folder.
    Do you want to save a copy of this item in the default folder for the item?
    I have checked the permissions on the mailbox folder as well as the Contacts folder. The user has "Owner" permission to these folders.
    No other users report the problem, and loading the users account on another computer demonstrates the same problem.
    Any ideas what I am missing?

    Hi,
    The error indicates that the issue is related to permission. I recommend you use the Get-MailboxPermission -Identity xxx |fl cmdlet to check if the permission is right. What's more, please check if OWA has the same issue.
    If the issue persists, I recommend you remove the owner permission at first. Secondly, use the following cmdlet to add the owner permission and check the result.
    Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "xxx" -Owner "xxx"
    Hope it helps.
    Best regards,

  • Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.

    Hi Team,
    Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.
    Using Exchange 2010 Server and Lync 2010 Server at the back. To the best of my knowledge, this option is only available when using Exchange 2013 rather than Ex 2010.
    Can somebody confirm this as I am not 100% sure about it.
    Appreciate your help. Thanks

    Hi,
    The photo precedence in Lync 2013 is high-resolution photo from Exchange 2013 -> Photo from web address -> Active Directory photo. The "Edit or Remove Picture" button is available if you integrate Lync Server 2013 with Exchange 2013.
    Since you are Lync server 2010 and Exchange 2010, you can choose the following two options:
    The thumbnailPhoto attribute on the user's object in Active Directory Domain Services
    A URL configured by the user

  • Unable to edit

    I am a complete novice to Dreamweaver so please bear with me.
    I am trying to edit some pages (.php files) for my employer. I was
    able to edit the index.php file but none of the others. All of the
    html code is greyed out except certain areas and unfortunately, the
    part I need to change is greyed out. I am completely unable to edit
    any of the greyed areas. I've looked all over to see if there's a
    way to unlock the code but I can't see anything. Does anyone have
    any suggestions?

    If you do not have the associated Template file, it *MAY* be
    a trivial
    matter to recreate it. We would need to see the code on the
    page to know
    whether that's possible, though.

  • Unable to edit document using "Edit with Word" option

    Hi All,
    i am having an issue with Office web apps. i am using SharePoint 2013 and Office web apps 2013. all the configurations have been done successfully. but i have a different kind of issue.
    i am able to open documents in browser
    i am able to edit document using " edit with word/excel web" option
    but i am unable to edit document using "edit with word/excel" option
    i have Office 2010 installed on my local machine.
    do we need to have MS office of 2013 version? or is there anything missing from configuration part.
    Please help me.
    Thank You,
    Bhaskar.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not use the "edit with word/excel" option.
    I had tested the issue with the Office 2010, the option worked well.
    You don’t need to install the Office 2013 to use this option.
    What did you mean “but i am unable to edit document using "edit with word/excel" option
    Did you mean the option gray out? Did the issue occur in other browsers?
    You can use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
    Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
    You can also add the site into Trusted sites.
    Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
    What's more, you can also use other browsers to check whether it works, such as Firefox, Chrome.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Unable to edit html file

    Hi,
    I downloaded an html file from our server to edit the logo. However, I am unable to edit the logo part. It's like commented out. And once I opened the file on Dreamweaver CS5, I am getting this pop-up message:
    "This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."
    I can't edit the html file and change the logo. Please help.
    Thank you and God bless!
    Dannie

    Dannie,
    Are you familiar with dreamweaver templates and editable regions? If the logo is in the template, then you need to modify the template file. The changes you make to the template will automatically be propogated to all of the files which use the template.  If your html file uses a template, the html code will look like its commented out.
    Also, you should not have to download the html fiile from your server because you should always keep a copy of all the html files on your computer.
    I don't know about the SWF error.
    Good luck.
