PSE9:  Why is the Automate/Automation Tools greyed out?  Driving me crazy!

I am trying to install Scripts…thought I was doing it right but still can't run them because the Automate bar is grey.

Which operating system are you using?
Are the scripts supposed to be for photoshop elements 9?
Or are you trying make some of your own scripts show under File>Automation Tools?
Do you have an image open?
Sometimes, depending on the scripts and such, the automation tools tools menu will be greyed out unless you have an image open.

  • HT201493 Why would the "Add" button be greyed out?

    The "Add" button is greyed out and cannot be used.  Plus if I get an invite I cannot accept it.  I've tried resetting the phone, closing waiting and reopening the app, and checking all settings to find something that would stop this.  Nothing so far has worked.

    I couldn't agree more. There needs to be iMessage/message integration with iPhoto. I want to be able to share an iPhoto  pic via iMessage! Also I feel the same way about iPhoto replacing the camera app/roll. Needs to be one location to edit photos and store them so we can eliminate duplicates, ect.

  • Why is my automation tools greyed out in photoshop 10?

    II'm trying to batch my photos. However my automation tool is greyed. I have never used this before.

    Well, you could try opening them all in the raw converter and using then noise reduction there, if that will do it. When you select multiple images in the strip on the left side of the window, changes made to one image apply to all selected photos, and you can open other formats than raw there, like tiff or jpg.
    But otherwise, you are up against one of adobe's big brick walls between PSE and PS. They will not allow actions to run on more than one image at a time.
    I've heard some people say that they've had success with Dr Brown's image processor, as another alternative, although I've not tried it.

  • Why is the reverb selection box greyed out in one of my songs?

    It won't give me the option of checking reverb in the "Details" of an instrument, but the other effects like compressor, equalizer, and echo are fine.

    That was the problem, thank you!

  • Why is my arrow tool greyed out?

    I am using Elements 12 and went to use my arrow tool and it is greyed out.
    Please advise
    Thank you

    Barbara,
    Please excuse my lack of knowledge with Photoshop Elements 12.  I am sorry that I am not understanding your question regarding "an active, un-simplified shape in my image."  The example I can give from previous use of the shape tools including the arrow, is if I scanned a item into Elements I was always able to use the arrow tool.  Now when I open a jpeg picture I select Shape Selection Tool icon on the left side of my screen and all of the shapes such as Eclipse, Custom Shape, Rectangular, Polygon, etc are all useable except the arrow which is greyed out.  This is about the best way I can describe my situation.  I hope I have made myself more clear to you so that I can help you advise me how I can use my arrow tool again as I have in the past.
    Again thank you for your help and assistance.

  • In CS5, saving a tiff, the jpg compression is greyed out, why? No layers. It's RGB, 8 bit file.

  • The send button is greyed out when I try to text some but not all people from my iPod touch. Any ideas how I can fix this?

    The send buttin is greyed out when I try to text some but not all people from my iPod Touch. This happens even when they have iPhone 4s. Any ideas why and how I can fix this?

    This issue can be caused by the McAfee SiteAdvisor extension.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I can't add any more columns. The option is suddenly greyed out.

    I can't add any more columns. The option is suddenly greyed out.

    Allen,
    Actually, there is a TRANSPOSE Function, but no Command or Tool for that. It's one of the more useful and popular omissions in Numbers. Perhaps because it falls into the "didn't plan ahead so now I need a tool" category of features, it didn't make the cut.
    Use of the Transpose Function is described in the Function Browser, the Help feature and in the Functions of Formulas User Guide PDF. It involves using the INDEX function to read out the array created by the Transpose function. Another way to do this is to use the OFFSET function in an expression and by exchanging the row and column references.
    Yvan Koenig has written an Applescript that will automate the transposition for data and for certain simple expressions. You can get it from his Box Account, on this page.

  • When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

    After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
    The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
    Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

    I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

  • Changing the field properties (editabel/greyed out) dynamically?

    Hello
    I am developing an Adobe interactive form. My requirement is dynamically changing the filed properties based on the other field values/selections/inputs.
    1) For example in the form, if user puts value_A in field_1, then, the field_2 should be greyed out.
    2) If user puts value_B in field_3, then, system automatically populate the value_C in field_4 in order to let the user make easy- user friendly
    3) If user puts value_D in field_5, then, only allowed value in field_6 is value_E, if by mistake user puts value_F in field_6, then, system should throw error message
    Pls. let me know how to achive this DYNAMIC functionality in the FORM or do we need to handle from WEbDynPro ABAP side?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Everything you have mentioned is possible in the form itself. Just write the valid script at valid event of valid field.
    1) For example in the form, if user puts value_A in field_1, then, the field_2 should be greyed out.
    Ans: Write on change event of Field1:
    if($.rawValue eq "value_A")
    then
    Field2.access = "readOnly"
    Field2.fillColor = "192,192,192"
    endif
    2) If user puts value_B in field_3, then, system automatically populate the value_C in field_4 in order to let the user make easy- user friendly
    Ans: Write on change event of Field3:
    if($.rawValue eq "value_B")
    then
    Field4.rawValue =  "value_C"
    endif
    3) If user puts value_D in field_5, then, only allowed value in field_6 is value_E, if by mistake user puts value_F in field_6, then, system should throw error message
    Ans: Write at exit event of Field6:
    if(Field5.rawValue eq "value_D" and $.rawValue ne "value_E")
    then
    xfa.host.messageBox("Wrong Value", "Error", 0)
    endif
    For such type of scripts you can refer to designer help also. So please check there before posting your query that would save your time.

  • The send icon is greyed out. This happened after a crash. Tried all the solutions suggested

    I was writing an e-mail and had just spell checked. Thunderbird crashed. When it came back up, the send icon is greyed out (as well as the spell check. I ran through all the help suggestions (including the profile removal). The computer I am having trouble with is Lion 10.7.5. I have it also on 10.6.8 (snow leopard). I am about to give up and start using this computer (10.8.5) for mail - pain in the ..... to have to move everything!

    Have a look and make sure your accounts still appear in the settings.
    Tools menu > account settings.. It might be something is just rubbish following corruption caused by the crash, but I think it would be fairly obvious just scrolling through the account settings if they look like junk.
