Random text changes in Photoshop CS6 Beta

Hey all,
I got a problem in PS CS6 Beta. When I try to change some text immediately after I click on text with type tool the text changes to some random text from my PSD file. So I'm unable to edit any texts in my PSD. I've tried to reset photoshop settings and also delete system font chache. This happens only in some of my PSDs. If I open a new file type tool works fine but I need my old ones as well.
I've also tried open those PSDs in CS5 or on the other computers (macs and windows) but the problem remain the same.
Does any of you have this problem? Any fixes?
Thanks

Yeah, I used to see multiple type styles but then I reseted photoshop preferences, deleted font cache and used "resolve duplicates" option in font book (mac). Now I don't see multiple type styles but I still can't edit any type.
Reset preferences.
Perform this step after experiencing the crash. It's also a good idea to restart your computer after your computer crashes.
Hold the Cmd+Opt+Shift keys down immediately after starting Photoshop. Click OK in the dialog box that asks if you want to delete the Adobe Photoshop settings file.
Photoshop's font cache.
After you quit Photoshop, open the /Users/[user name]/Library/Caches/Adobe folder. 
Drag the TypeSupport folder to the trash and empty the trash.

  • FAQ: What are the known issues so far in Photoshop CS6 Beta

    APPLICATION  COEXISTENCE
    Lightroom 4 Beta + Photoshop CS6 beta -- Editing the same video file simultanously in both applications may result in an error, crash, or blank (transparent) frames. You might see this Photoshop error: "Could not complete the Render Video command because of a problem with Adobe Media Encoder".
    This will only be an issue with Lightroom 4 beta and Photoshop CS6 beta on the same system, editing the same video. The released versions will not have this issue.
    Workaround: Upgrade to LR Release version (even if it's just the trial), or don't open the same file in both apps at the same time.
    CS5 Help fails to launch after install of CS6
    Workaround: Launch the stand alone "Adobe Help" application or reinstall CS5
    CROP
    Crop action shows wrong crop box.Playing an action with a crop step that has dialogs turned on results in a crop box that covers the entire canvas instead of the expected area.
                    Workaround: Ensure that the Crop Tool is selected before running the action or disable dialogs for the action.
    FILTERS
    (32bit OS only) Initial "Merge to HDR Pro" image display and result is black until settings are changed
    Workaround: It will remain black until droplist in the "mode" line is selected, changed and activated, then action appears to be normal.
    Bokeh color is different from preview after render at certain zoom levels on particular image patterns
    Workaround: View image at 100%
    Lighting effects bump map generates artifacts if an alpha channel bump map is used. The resulting preview and final image is artifacted across the gradiated areas of the alpha channel.
                   Workaround: Do not use a gradiated alpha channel as a bump map
    Liquify will perform the filter and save to just part of the photo if you click cancel while it is "finishing processing" a large file.
    LAYERS
    If a vector layer has a center-aligned stroke combined with an inside-aligned layer style stroke, then that vector layer's stroke may not display correctly -- part of the vector layer stroke will disappear as the layer is moved around the image.
    Workaround: Use the "Path Selection Tool" to move your vector around -- alternatively, Change the stroke alignment or remove underlying layers.
    Dragging a selection box while layer filters are applied stops marquee selection from following cursor movement
    Workaround: Even though the graphic of the selection marquee stops, the selection still happens. OR Turn off layer filtering before targeting the layers using a selection box
    TYPE
    Editing text attributes in the Character panel when the layer is locked can result in a crash
    Workaround: Unlock your text layer prior to attribute adjustments in the Character panel
    Setting the menu type>font>preview size to "huge" after opening a saved file caused photoshop to crash
    Workaround: Uncheck Background save in Photoshop CS6
    Style by example or definition not working as expected:
    If any attribute in the Paragraph Panel is set and you create a new Paragraph Style, the new style is based on the default and the override is not cleared.
    DRAWING AND PAINTING

    3-D
    Creating a video timeline and rendering video from two 3D layers may not include ground plane reflections
    Workaround: Use mesh for ground plane instead of 3D engines construct, or duplicate the file and remove the keyframes
    Creating a New background texture after changing lighting presets results in crash
    Workaround: Create the New background texture prior to adjusting lighting presets
    Unable to create a constraint on extruded object with Pillow Inflate setting applied. Further actions may result in Photoshop instability or crash.
    Photoshop may crash when trying to align/distribute constraints from selections of two 3-D extruded objects
    Photoshop may not always save a texture when you paint directly onto the 3d object using Paint on Target Texture setting.
    Photoshop may crash when selecting a different panel filter after the focus has been on 2 fields in the environment flyout with IBL map present
    Photoshop may crash after embedding a 3D layer into a layer group, creating a new 3d object in the group, and then closing the document.
    When changing the color of the lines or points in the 3D scene cross section from the Properties panel, side b color overwrites the color in side A.
    Program Error when adjusting fill value in Layers panel while in Lighting Effects workspace.
    Workaround:You will have to use opacity slider instead of fill slider to pull back the lighting effect
    PLUGINS
    DUPLICATE PLUGINS CAUSE ISSUES ON MAC:
    If you install duplicate plugins or point the additional plugins folder preferences to a duplicate set of plugins (such as, to an older version of Photoshop), then it is possible for odd Photoshop behavior, such as an inappropriate file extension to appear when saving files.
    (example: while performing a "save as"  to JPEG file type, the file format appears to change to .dcm)
    In this case, there may be a duplicate "file formats" plugin that's populating the Save As file types list with duplicates of the same options.
    If there are duplicate file format plugins installed, the Mac OS will remove the duplicates from the list, but you may still see the odd saving behavior.
    Solution:
    Remove the duplicate plugins.
    If you are not sure if you have this issue, but are seeing odd behavior, you can check for duplicates by looking through the plugins listed in the Help > System Info dialog.
    Bridge
    Unable to Copy and Paste in File info in Bridge
    Workaround: Typing info in Manually works, or copy and paste work in Photoshop's File Info dialog
    Install
    Adobe Setup Utility may quit, or error during install. You may see error: "Exit Code: 15"
    Workaround: Create a folder named 'Templates' at "<Windows drive>:\Users\<current user login id>\AppData\Roaming\Micorsoft\Windows\"
    Message saying trial of PS CS6 beta expired,Content coming soon, stay tuned.
    Workaround: re-launch photoshop CS6 beta. This issue should not happen anymore

    1. You can get full support for your camera by upgrading to Lightroom 4. But personally, I would wait for Lightroom 5 since it will be released shortly, probably within the next month. Lightroom 5 will work with Photoshop CS5. The only difference is that Lightroom will need to create a TIF or PSD file that contains all the changes you have made in Lightroom. That's not a big deal, in my opinion. That file has to be created at some point anyway whenever you use Photoshop.
    2. Yes, Lightroom 4 will pass images back and forth between it and Photoshop.
    3.  The upgrade would not break Lightroom 3. It would essentially work the same as it does with your current setup.
    4. If you purchase CS6 it is my understanding you will be allowed to use it indefinitely. This is not true of the Creative Cloud version. Support and updating for additional cameras will cease for CS6. Adobe has announced that they will make Camera Raw 8.1 so that it can be usable with CS6 as far as reading Lightroom adjustments. But any new controls will not be accessible.
    5. So far, Adobe has indicated that they have no plans to making Lightroom a subscription-only offering.
    You are asking your questions as though you are addressing Adobe directly. This is a User-to-user forum. I don't work for nor do I speak for Adobe. I am only giving you the information as I understand it. It seems to me that upgrading to Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 is a "safe" choice. None of us, not even Adobe, really knows what the future will bring. Technology changes so quickly anymore that everything we are doing right now could be obsolete in a matter of a very short period of time. As Adobe changes their marketing strategies I think it will probably motivate some people to look elsewhere. I have Photoshop CS6 and I'm going to upgrade to Lightroom 5. Then I will have to wait and see what develops after that. At any rate, I have tools that I can use for the foreseeable future. If I have to change at some point then I will do so.

  • Removal of Photoshop CS6 Beta

    I installed Photoshop CS6 Beta and I just removed it using the uninstaller under Applications/Utility/Adobe Installers/Adobe Photoshop uninstaller alias. I had to find it myself as the information on the Web is wrong. Obviously I am on a Mac (Lion 10.7.4), but now that it has been removed, I still have an Adobe Photoshop 6 Beta folder in Applications that was not removed. Do I just delete the folder or do I need to do something else? 
    I did find the Adobe Creative Cleaner Tool but I also have Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 installed.  Can I use the uninstaller tool and not damage the Elements installation?  I just want to be sure before I jump.  I do have a full, bootable backup of my installation just in case something goes wrong.
    Thank you,
    Gerry

    The information here about uninstalling is correct.
    And you should have just used the uninstaller alias inside the Photoshop folder.
    The unistaller should not touch or affect Elements.
    The beta folder name is the same as the release version (and should not have beta in the name) -- so you can just install the final version without making any additional changes.

  • Photoshop CS6 Beta  |  Vector Shapes selection issue

    Hi there,
    The issue is related to selecting vector shapes. Below I'm describing the difference between Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS6 and showing the actual issue.
    Photoshop CS5
    Vector shape have color area and vector mask visible - http://screencast.com/t/hVB2H7ceqp
    Selecting the later do not affect the visibility of the actual shape - http://screencast.com/t/YkmJlsLRNX
    Selecting the vector mask gives us the visual representation that mask is selected - http://screencast.com/t/Iq4P9Qgp9
    Photoshop CS6 beta
    Vector shape have a single icon - http://screencast.com/t/ptBpMRYup
    When select the layer the vector mask is automatic selected too - http://screencast.com/t/dm1WjibiTZ
    The Problems
    This is frustrating because it is hard to set layer styles properly, the additional "stroke" that comes from the selected layer mask visuals mess the things up.
    Also the shortcut of coppying the vector mask is also different.
    I fould a way that solves the problem partially - http://screencast.com/t/CSKcTX3n, but after you select the actual vector path and points, it turns on automatically, which is frustrating again.
    Hey guys, you've done wonderful job with CS6 really. Congrats you are trying to incorporate real vector shapes in photoshop, but selection of the shapes in illustrator and photoshop just can't be the same.
    Please can you find a way to select vector shapes without selecting the actual vector mask too, this was perfectly developed in Photoshop CS5.
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    SK

    Thanks for the fast reply. All sorted out

    Ivan,
    Here's the post with instructions on moving or copying a shape path to another layer:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/979293
    As for the current selection behavior, thanks for the feedback. I can definitely see how that would be annoying, especially if you are used to the previous shape layer workflow. I can't promise any changes for this release, but I will pass it along to the rest of the team and we'll keep it in mind for future releases.
    Also, just to clarify some of the terminology, the path associated with the shape layer is called a shape path. It is no longer a separate mask, although it has much of the same behavior as the old content fill + vector mask shape layers.
    [quote]Layer selection should be just that. The layers.[/quote]
    I totally understand what you're saying, but in CS6 the path is part of the layer. It's not really comparable to any other layer types.
    Anyway, I'm not trying to dismiss your feedback or anything -- just trying to help explain what our thinking was behind the changes. Hopefully we'll be able to keep refining the behavior of the new features in the future.

  • Problem with filters not finding an image in LR 4.0 after being edited in Photoshop CS6 beta

    I am running Lightroom 4.0 on a Win7 Professional 64-bit system. I have come up with a strange problem I can describe but don't know how it can more generally be duplicated, unless this is a Photoshop CS6 beta bug.
    I am looking through in Library module at a shoot. When I filter by a keyword that some of the pictures have, a recently edited image does not show up. Here is what I mean; let X=IMG_6260:
    1) For X.CR2, edit in Photoshop CS5. All works well - X-ed.tif gets created and added to my LR previous import set.
    2) Clicking on X-ed.tif, edit in Photoshop CS6 beta. All seems fine - X-ed-2.tif gets created and added to my LR previous import set.
    3) The keywords on all three images - the original and the two edits - are the same. I can confirm that by, in grid view, selecting these three and noting no asterisks in the composite keyword view. One of the keywords is the person's name - let's say it is "Sara".
    4) Now, when I click in the keyword list on "Sara", all images in this most recently imported set show up with her *except* X-ed-2.tif - the one created by CS6 beta.
    Strange! Should this be reported in a CS6 forum? Thanks.

    Yep, it returns nothing. Debug output seems to be largely irrelevant except this oddity:

  • FAQ: How do I activate the Photoshop CS6 beta?

    You will be prompted to activate the Photoshop CS6 beta as a part of the installation. The following activation requirements will need to be completed within seven days after first launch of the Photoshop CS6 beta or it will stop working:
    Log in with an Adobe ID
    Activate the product online
    If you already have an Adobe ID, you should use that one. If you do not have one, you will be prompted to create an Adobe ID as part of the Photoshop CS6 beta installation and activation process.
    You must have internet access to activate the product. If you are temporarily offline during the installation process, you have a seven-day grace period after first launch of the beta during which you can connect to the Internet and perform the activation. You cannot activate the Photoshop CS6 beta on a computer that is permanently offline.  Once you have completed the activation process, you no longer need to be online to use the beta.

  • Hidden Photoshop CS6 Beta Files.

    So ever sense I've owned a Mac I've been told that to simply remove any software you just have to delete it out of the Appilcations Folders. That would appear to be false, I did that with Photoshop CS6 Beta. Now that I am trying to install Photoshop CS6 Trial it keeps giving me an error that says that there is a version of CS6 on my computer already. Does anyone know how to find the hidden files or atleast the file that the installer is seeing?

    Please first try running the uninstaller in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.  Once that is done you can utilize the clean up tool by following the directions at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.  This should remove any additional components.
    In regards to uninstalling on Mac.  Many applications are able to utilize the package feature to contain all of their components.  Do to the shared components between Adobe applications and their multi-platform nature we utilize an uninstaller.  This is because we do not contain all of the files required for the application within the package for the application itself.

  • How long will the Photoshop CS6 Beta be active for?

    Hi
    I would like to know how long will the Photoshop CS6 Beta be active for. As a VFX Artist I will be testing CS6 in a production environment to improve workflow. Some of the features I want to be able to use won't happen for a few weeks yet as I'm awaiting content. I just basically would like to know that If I install CS6 now, will it expire in a few weeks or on 30 days? If it's very limited, I'd rather wait than have it expire on be before I can test it properly.
