Saved gradient settings in PS CS6 64 bit go missing. . .

I'm working on Sepia Toning some images. I have several base starting settings that I need to choose from then modify. One of the tools I'm using is a Gradient Map layer and I use Photoshop CS6 Extended.
After saving them, my gradient settings in PS CS6 64 bit go missing when I work on a new image. What's up? Some old settings do appear and a series repeat over and over. I do have CS6 Photoshop Extended 64 and 32 bit installed, but use 64bit 95%. I do see a couple old saved settings. I also have Creative Suite 5.5 (InDesign and Illustrator, no Photoshop 5.5) installed.
Thanks for any help!

The presets should be saved in your user directory, but sometimes when you save a preset, it gets saved in the last place you saved a file. I'd do a search for .gnd files on your system and see where they all are. In Windows, your preset gradients should be in:
C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Gradients

Opening CDR file - Extremely Fatal to CS6 64-bit apps

I'm trying to get down the bottom of what's causing an extremely serious error in the 64-bit version of Adobe Illustrator CS6.
Adobe Illustrator can open CorelDRAW .CDR files, to a certain extent. The .CDR files need to be saved down to version 9 or 10 compatibility. One of my coworkers just ran into a really bad Illustrator CS6 crash caused when opening a .CDR file. This is a crash I had to endure on my own new system a couple months ago.
After Illustrator CS6 64-bit crashes it simply refuses to launch again. It crashes and closes. Rebooting doesn't help. Deleting the AI prefs file doesn't help. Worse yet, the crash basically hoses all of the CS6 64-bit apps that are installed. The 64-bit version of Photoshop CS6 crashes when opening a file.
The last time this happened my only recourse was to do a "factory reset" on my computer, basically wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 8 Professional in a clean state and then going through the very long, slow process of downloading and installing the CS6 apps from the Creative Cloud.
Does anyone in this forum have any experience with this particular kind of crash? Are there any possible alternatives that might fix this error besides wiping the hard drive and starting over? This bug is pretty badly timed. Gonna have to go through all the download/install process stuff again when the new CC apps are released.

The bug is unpredictable. Once the bug has occurred Adobe Illustrator CS6 64-bit will no longer launch. Rebooting and deleting the aiprefs file doesn't work. Additionally the bug also permanently affects other CS6 64-bit applications. Photoshop CS6 64-bit will launch, but it crashes when opening any file. After Effects and Premiere Pro crash at launch. No third party plug-ins were installed on this computer.
Affected computer's hardware:
Dell XPS 8500 Desktop
• Core i7 3770 Quad Core 3.4GHz
• 16GB RAM - Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 4 DIMMs
• nVidia GeForce GT640 1GB GDDR5 SDRAM
• 2TB 7200rpm SATA 6 Gb/s Hard Disc
• DVD-R/W Drive
• 19 in 1 media card reader
• Windows 8 Professional 64-bit
When this bug affected my own workstation a couple months ago, I tried to uninstall Adobe Illustrator CS6, download it again and then reinstall. Illustrator CS6 64-bit still refused to launch. The other 64-bit apps wouldn't launch either. So I ended up wiping the hard disc, reinstalling Win 8 Pro clean and downloading/reinstalling everything and just being careful to not open any .CDR files after that. My workstation is a little better equipped (Core i7 3770, 24GB of RAM, BD-RW drive, nVidia GeForce 660GTX, Intel SRT solid state drive with SATA 6gb/s 2TB HDD).
Previously I did run into problems when opening CorelDRAW .CDR artwork that was larger than a standard letter sized page. I would get hit with a dialog box saying "the file appears to be corrupt." I'd end up making CorelDRAW save the artwork into Adobe Illustrator CS5 format and then opening it Illustrator. Once my Adobe apps got hosed by a certain .CDR file I simply stopped trying to open any CorelDRAW files directly in Illustrator at all. Didn't want to go through the long process of reinstalling everything from scratch again. Unfortunately my coworker didn't remember the details of my experience. So now we're dealing with it on her new machine.
My coworker said she thinks she remembers which .CDR file caused Illustrator CS6 64-bit to crash. Here's a Dropbox link to it:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86940762/V130520-1%20CC%20expo%20center%20billingsley% 20ford%20FS.cdr
Warning: I do not recommend other users to try opening this CorelDRAW file within Adobe Illustrator CS6. I'm sure not trying it on my installation!
This particular .CDR file doesn't have any active type in it. But it does feature some strange clipped gradient effects. I think some of this artwork was originally created in Illustrator and then saved in CorelDRAW. I'm wondering if there is some sort of way Corel tried to reinterpret the artwork that caused Illustrator to lose its mind when reopening it. If memory serves correctly I was opening some similar Illustrator-generated and then Corel-saved art in my own copy of AI CS6 64-bit when it crashed.

Where are the Gradient color presets in CS6?

Hi,
I've gone from CS4 to CS6 and when using the Gradient tool, there used to be a properties box that you could open with a whole list of preset color gradients to choose from, i used to use the 'Black - White' one all the time, which kinda blurred the edges, made a transparent gradient and allowed, for want of a better word, montages to be created easily, but now this function seems to have gone. Is it hiding somewhere that I don't know about? Or alternatively, can someone advise me on how to get the same effect that the Black White Preset used to give me?
Thanks a lot
Jules

Yeah, those gradients are gone in CS6. On the one hand, most of them were pretty cheesy; on the other hand, it's a bit surprising they took away those presets but still didn't offer users a simple way to save gradients.
One way that you can save gradients is as Styles. As an experiment, I actually did this one day for the classic Fireworks gradients. Once created, styles can be saved as a library, where you can call on them from within any FW document.
Another way to quickly create a black and white gradient is by setting the fill and/or stroke colors, which are the basis of gradients. You can reset the default fill and stroke colors within the Tools panel. However, this can be tricky, at times, depending on what objects are selected and what type of fill they already have; it can be easy to accidentally apply a stroke to an object this way. Alternatively, if Stroke is set to None, then setting Fill to Black will result in a black and white gradient when you switch to a gradient Fill type.

Performance Issues with Photoshop CS6 64-Bit

Hello -
Issue at hand: over the course of the last few weeks, I have noticed significant issues with performance since the last update to PS CS6 via the Adobe Application Manager, ranging from unexpected shut downs to bringing my workstation to a crawl (literally, my cursor seems to crawl across my displays). I'm curious as to if anyone else is experiencing these issues, or if there is a solution I have not yet tried. Here is a list of actions that result in these performance issues - there are likely more that I have either not experienced due to my frustration, or have not documented as occuring multiple times:
Opening files - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
Pasting from clipboard - results in hanging process, takes 3-10 seconds to resolve
Saving files - takes 3-10 seconds to open the dialog, another 3-10 seconds to return to normal window (saving a compressed PNG)
Eyedropper tool - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
Attempting to navigate any menu - will either crash Photoshop to desktop, or take 5-15 seconds to load
Attempts I've taken to resolve this matter, which have failed:
Uninstalled all fonts that I have added since the last update (this was a pain in the ***, thank you Windows explorer for being glitchy)
Uninstall application and reinstall application
Use 32-bit edition
Changing process priority to Above Normal
Confirm process affinity to all available CPU cores
Change configuration of Photoshop performance options

This issue is costing me time I could be working every day, and I'm about ready to begin searching for alternatives and cancel my membership if I can't get this resolved.

Photoshop CS6 64 bit not working on 64 bit Window 8 computer

I am running on Window 8 (64 bit) but Photoshop CS6 extended 64 bit does not work. Simply cannot open or create files and goes dead and I have to use task manager to stop it from running. No problem with Illustrator 64 bit nor with Photoshop 32 bit. I tried reinstall but still same problem.

Try deleting the 64 bit prefs and see if that makes a difference. Start by closing the program and go to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)
Hold down the three keys Ctrl+Alt+Shift (not Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and right-click on the Photoshop Application and choose open - see image - and release the three keys when you see the settings dialog. Click the Yes button and wait for CS6 to launch.

Several daily crashes in Illustrator CS6 64-Bit

Hello,
After a long hard struggle with CS6 32-bit, Windows XP and 4 GB RAM, we decided to do our designers a favor and install Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit, 16 GB RAM and a new SSD for them, in order to speed up their daily work. Besides that, the PC is equipped with an i7-2600k and some HP-motherboard (it's an HP Elite 8200 with the beforementioned upgrades).
The good news is, that it has increased the speed greatly.
The bad news is, that Illustrator (the 64-bit version) has a tendency to crash several times each day. I havent' been able to find a pattern, unfortunately, but here's log-files from event viewer:
Faulting application Illustrator.exe, version 16.0.0.682, faulting module 4f6e45b7, version MSVCR100.dll, fault address 0x10.0.40219.325
Faulting application Illustrator.exe, version 16.0.0.682, faulting module 4f6e45b7, version dvaui.dll, fault address 0x6.0.0.0.
I've seen a few threads regarding the first crash, which suggested, that we should run Illustrator with administrative priveleges. So we did that (setting the permissions in the shortcut), but with no luck. I have absolutely no idea what dvaui.dll is, though.
The user is a local administrator, which should rule out any permission-issues in my eyes.
Any ideas on how to proceed?
Best regards,
Thomas

We are having the same issue and unable to find a common pattern. We reformatted the PC and reinstalled Illustrator.
Logged in as a local administrator and domain administrator, same issue.
Cleared Settings & Preferences, same issue.
Turned off Preferences sync, same issue.
Turned off AVG, same issue.
Unable to find a common pattern at all.

Audio Settings for Premiere CS6

Hi, I currently run a Mac Pro with a 27 inch Apple Monitor with built in camera. The machine is also running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Could someone give me some clarification as to why the Audio Settings for Premiere CS6 are the way they are?
Example with a Macbook Pro and an iMac when I plug in a headphone I can get the sounds from Premiere pro as well as something from youtube to the headphones. However in the case of the Mac Pro with the Apple Monitor, when the headphones are plugged in the youtube sounds come through but the Premiere sounds go through the monitor. I'm aware of the audio settings but I suspect this is working by design because of the different audio options the Mac Pro have and there is nothing broken about this.
Please advise.
Thank you.

I've always found this a bit annoying.
The intended behaviour is that if you go into Premiere's audio settings, and choose "System Default Input/Output", it should change along with the system (so that the audio comes out wherever YouTube does). In practice, I've found this to be inconsistent in pre-CC versions of Premiere (CC fixes this).
One tip that may be helpful for you in general on a Mac Pro:
1. If you don't already have the volume icon in the menu bar (by the clock), enable that in System Preferences > Sound.
2. Option-click on the icon and you'll get a quick menu of your output options

Photoshop CS6 - 64 bit Optimus issue - SOLVED!

Photoshop CS6 64-bit will not run when Optimus is enabled on my W520 system The program works fine if I have discrete only set in the BIOS. Setting the default graphics adapter to NVIDIA GPU when using Optimus still has the problem. Anyone seen this issue before? CS6 Photoshop 32-bit runs OK under Optimus with the NVIDIA GPU set as default. I'm stumped so far. I searched the Adobe Support site and found nothing concerning this issue.
Update_1: I initially installed the latest NVIDIA driver from the W520 Driver Matrix. The NVIDIA level downleveled from 296.88 to 296.20, but CS6 started working properly. I then downloaded the latest NVIDIA driver 301.42 which was the level recommended by several graphics sites. The system is working smoothly now. CS6 will now use the OpenGL and acceleration features of the 2000M. BTW, my WEI changed from 6.5 to 6.6 with this driver. The 3D graphics still remains at 6.9.
Update_2: I encountered yet another anomaly with the display driver. I placed the system into Discrete Graphics and updated the display driver to 301.42. When I set the system back to Optimus, the CS6 programs could no longer access the NVIDIA GPU. I had to reinstall the 301.42 drivers again in Optimus mode to have everything back to full function. I switched back to Discrete mode to check if things were still working (they were) and then I returned to Optimus mode and the programs continued to function properly. There must be a sequence that requires Discrete updates first, and them=n Optimus, but I've never seen it documented.
