Smart Sharpen and Reduce Noise preview windows are blank

Hello,
I am using Photoshop CS5 64 bit with WIndows 7
Whenever I try to use the Smart Sharpen or Reduce Noise image menu items, the preview window for both
these applications are always blank.
My images are mostly 16 bit with some 8 bit but I always get the same blank preview window
Any help would be appreciated
Dave Harman

Always check your LAYERS panel to ensure you've activated the image layer on which the pixels reside, and not an adjustment layer. Also make sure you've clicked on the image if there's a layer mask present, so the filter won't be inadvertntly working on the mask.
Assuming you're not on the wrong layer, have you checked to see whether new drivers are available from the web site of the maker of your video card? Many, many display problems are resolved by updating display drivers.

MSI z77A-G43 C1E enabled and strange noise from cpu area ?

MSI z77A-G43 C1E enabled and strange noise from cpu area ? What will be the problem? When I disabled it there is no sound. BUt when I enabled it there is a strange noise while moving my mouse cursor or when there is some CPU activity, sounds like a squeeking or scratching, a bit like hdd activity, but barely noticeable. It looks like it's coming from the area around the cpu socket, must be something on the motherboard. is there a solution other than just disabling it? I want to be able to make C1E enable but cant bare this noise so I have to turn it of....

Sound like some electrical sound produced by current going through that area.
Try contacting MSI support for more help.

Ever since the upgrade my all of my folders' windows are blank! What can I do to fix this??

I can see the emails on my cell phone. I can compose and send and email. I can see the Thunderbird new introductory welcome message in the box but when I click any of the folders nothing is in the window, the windows are blank. I've uninstalled and reinstalled.

Thank you so much! It ended up being a buggy extension!

Print preview window is blank

Sometimes when I try to print a PDF from the net my print preview window is blank even though it shows the document might be multipule pages long. The same can happen when trying to print out other things from the net....any ideas out there?
thanks, Steve

Hi Steve, not sure, but they have ways of preventing you from printing some PDFs, & possibly other ways to obscure it.
Do you have a link to one that shows blank?

Colours in 'Print with Preview' window are wrong

I am using Photoshop CS on a Mac G4 (PPC) with OS X 10.4.11.
I usually use 'Print with Preview' to print photographs. I used to get good results, but something seems to have changed (or I have accidentally changed a setting somewhere). When I open an image in Photoshop, the colours on my monitor (which I regularly calibrate) look right. But when I go to 'Print with Preview', the image shown in the small layout window is now much darker, reds are more brown and in general the colours look quite wrong. And what is even worse is that when I print, the results match the wrong colours in the Preview window and not the correct colors that I see when I look at the image directly in Photoshop.
I attach a screenshot, showing (on the left) a colour test image opened directly in Photoshop CS and (on the right) how it looks in the Preview window.
Can anyone suggest what may have gone wrong? I should be very grateful for suggestions.

The words that helped [me] the most to understand Photoshop color management theory are:
Color Management starts with a good monitor profile (to PROOF the color accurately on the monitor), and Color Management ends with a good target profile to PROOF the color accurately on the print.
The file (the document's Source Color Space) is independent of Photoshop:
The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
+++++
While this simple PROOFING ANALOGY doesn't address the pitfalls of relying on a bad monitor to evaluate and adjust digital color, it does make two important facts about Photoshop and professional color-managed printing workflows:
1) The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
2) The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.
Getting a known good file (like the Adobe RGB—or better yet the ProPhoto RGB—PDI Photodisc-GettyImages RGB reference image) into Photoshop allows me to evaluate the monitor alongside the print to help me identify where the problem is occurring.
+++++
BTW, thank you for the helpful and solved hits.

Mini guide and little video preview window causing Black screen!!!

I now have the same issue. Pressing the B button used to give me a pip with the guide on screen at the same time as live TV in the lower right corner. Now when pressing B the small box with live TV appears in the corner but the guide goes black. Pressing B again, closes the small pip window and restores the guide - different from what it was doing before.

Everytime you bring up the little mini guide with the right arrow on your remote and then exit out of it and then bring up the big guide or any other menu like On Demand for example and then bring up the little preview window by clicking the B button on your remote the entire guide or other screen like On Demand goes completely black!! The quick fix is to restart the DVR box but as soon as you use the mini guide and then the litle preview window it happens all over again. It is happening on all 3 of my Arris XG1v1 boxes with updates 1.55.02 and 2.02p12s1. Are you guys seeing this also? I hope this will be fixed soon as I use the preview window often. Can a Comcast Tech look into this issue please. ThanksI was able to replicate the issue you have, but instead of having to reboot the box, I just pressed the "B" buton to exit out of small pic and my Guide returned to normal. Takes some experimenting...

Standard and 1:1 preview where are they saved?

Hi,
I searched the forum but I could not find where the standard size and 1:1 preview are saved. Do you know where they are stored?
I just need to get an idea of how much space a single 1:1 preview takes up on my disk to allocate the cache.
Thanks

They are in the Previews folder, which lives at the same level folder as the catalog, .lrcat.
The cache is a separate matter.

When Firefox crashes, tabs aren't saved, and Recently Closed Tabs/Windows are grayed-out

Although I had "Show My Windows and Tabs from Last Time" set in Options, my tabs aren't being restored after a crash. I also had my Home Page set to my Yahoo Mail page upon opening a new session. I then changed my Home Page to a blank page, but that hasn't worked to restore my open tabs after a crash. To make matters worse, under History,Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows stay gray, so I can't restore the open tabs from there, either.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
UnCheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

Multicam : my 2 angles preview windows are black

I try to make a multicam with 2 different footages and even I converted both in FCPX, when I make a multicam my 2 angles preview windows remain Black When I click on both black windows to make my multicam final footage, it's working, I mean the Multicam footage is working well (but I have to do it in blind mode).
I'm 10.0.7 and my Imac is a mid2010 corei7 + 16Go so everything is usually working well...
FYI I tried with several different footages (GoPro, 5DMKII, etc) and it's the same.
I chose automatic settings for the TL and for the multicam.
Any idea ?

Sure, here it is :

Allowed Pop Up Windows are Blank

i've only recently encountered this problem in the past month. the sites i know are affected are fanfiction.net and scribophile.com.
fanfiction.net is using a javascript;; for editing a link in one's profile.
scribophile.com is using a php to send a private message: http://www.scribophile.com/dashboard/popups/addprivatemessage.php?userid=17380
in both instances, a new-fangled looking white window pops up. (the fanfiction.net one even resizes itself and has a fancy top border). they are blank, utterly without content. they have a close X in the top corner that does close them. the php one is even blank when i choose to open it in a new tab like a regular page.
i have adblock plus and noscript. although i have tried turning them off for these particular web sites, the pop up windows still come out blank.
i have tried these solutions:
1: disable adblock plus and tell noscript to allow everything on the page(s). this does not work.
2: run firefox in safe mode. the popup windows then DO work.
3: i have gone to the firefox options and created exceptions to pop-up blocking for both sites. no joy.
4: i have gone into the add-on manager and disabled both adblock plus and noscript (but not other add-ons). no joy.
5: i have, one at a time, disabled every other add-on i have. no joy.
it appears to me that it is not actually the add-ons that are causing this behavior. although the windows work in firefox in safe mode, the same cannot be said of manually turning off the add-ons in "unsafe" mode.
is anything else going on in firefox that might be causing this behavior? i don't think it's the pop-up blocker, since the pop-ups DO appear... but no content inside. ugh.

In Illustrator CS4 in Mac OS 10.6.2 my windows are blank

When I open Illustrator CS4, and open a new or older document, the windows (action, brushes, layers, pathfinder, etc) are blank. If I close and reopen Illustrator I have a 50/50 chance that they will appear. At times I have had to close and reopen numerous times. Any thoughts? No new hardware or programs added since installation of CS4.(I already uninstalled and re-installed)

Dumping preferences was done. Restarting as you suggested has opened another symptom - I do not get a dialog box and most plugins don't load. I can use the program but with limited features. I have restarted normally for twenty times in a row and the windows are showing. So we shall see.
Hopefully it will behave itself.
Thanks,
jm

Downloads and Podcasts count numbers/fields are blank

The number field that is next to podcasts (the number of unplayed episodes in library) is blank... just an empty oval.
The same thing is true of my Downloads count.
If I were to open the Podcasts or Download windows, everything shows up, but under the regular view they are blank.
My iTunes library is on an external HD connected via Firewire.
I use the same library on another computer, and there the counts are fine. Both computers have the same version of iTunes running, 8.0.2.
Should I delete my Preferences file on the one computer? Which file would it be... User/Library/com.apple.iTunes.plist?

Not really answered, but no longer an issue.

I already patched about 10 PC and i can't simulate same problem and try only patche bi710sp03_300-10004472. When I open new window in Mozila, all is OK, but in our organization is IE7 necesary. Problem is in registery, because i tried to move imported registery before pathche, and IE7 is OK. Is there anybody who have some solution or advice for me?

Hello Libor,
we have been able to fix the problem with running the following command:
C:\Program Files\SAP\SapSetup\setup>Sapregsv.exe mshtml.tlb
Anothern option is to reinstall IE7.
