Two existing .psd files render fine in PS CC 2014, but in 2014.2.2 the output files display as mostly frozen frames.

6 months ago I created two .psd files in PS 2014. I've since downloaded the latest PS CC 2014.2.2 which is up to date. I tried to render both of them yesterday and in both cases the output runs for a while and then the same frame displays for- in one case the remainder of the video - and in the other it starts to play, freezes, plays, etc. I finally tried rendering in PS CC 2014 (14.2.1 x64) and they both rendered fine. The corrupt files out of the new version are virtually the same size as the originals (I had removed a watermark layer for this render) so they are slightly different. Is this a known problem?

Is it a known issue? Who's to say? You have not provided any detailed info about what is going on in the files nor any system info. Could be a simple CoDec issue with some source files, but then again it could be a genuine bug, which in turn could even be specific to certain combinations of features. See how that possibly could be a little more complicated?

Saving tiff or jpg files within a single, existing psd file without creating new files

     Hi, I just bought CS5 and I wonder if it is possible to save multiple images that are created within a single psd file in jpg or other image file formats without creating new psd files, but rather saving them as "embedded" within the single psd file in whih they are created. For example, one could select a portion of an image that one has created, and save just that selection as a jpg without leaving the existing psd file, and after that, one could select another portion of the same image and save it as a tiff, etc. Is this possible?
Much thanks.

No and Yes!
You can do much of what you want, but not exactly as you described it. You can certainly make multiple selections and have them saved in the psd file. You can also save jpg version of those selections, but you have to do a little extra work.
Lets say, by way of example, you have an image and you want to make three different selections within that image, save each selection as a jpeg, and save those selections along with the full image as a psd file. You can do the following, which is just one way of several to proceed, with your image opened.
1. Make selection 1, hit Ctrl+J to jump that selection to a new layer
2. Make selection 2, hit Ctrl+J to jump that selection to a new layer
3. Make selection 3, hit Ctrl+J to jump that selection to a new layer
4. Alt click on the layer with selection 1. This makes only that layer visible.
5. Click on Layer > Duplicate Layer > destination New > give it a name
6. This creates a new (temporary document). Open it.
     click Image > Trim > transparent pixels
     click Save for Web & Devces, select your parameters and save your jpeg
     Close and discard this temporary file.
7. Repeat steps 4,5 & 6 for selection 2 & selection 3
8. Save your psd file
You now have three jpegs and a psd file with all the information to create or modify the original selections

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help! Further info: I am a complete newbie to Mac. Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs. Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back) with the F4 function key. While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it. Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on. So Idragged it over to display in the centre. But that's all that's there. And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor. There is some wierd disconnect. I'm sure it is just a setting thing. Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!

Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you.

JPEG images burned to DVD are viewed fine on my Macbook Pro, but my clients PC says the disk is blank. Have tried several times now with same result. Please help.

The JPEG images I have edited on my Macbook Pro and then burned to DVD view fine on my computer. But when I give the same disk to my client with a PC (Windows Vista), his computer says the disk is blank. I have tried several times, first I burned the entire folder to the DVD, then tried burning just the images (not in a folder), and I also tried renaming the disk (shorter name, six letters), but always with the same result. His PC says the disk is blank and needs to be formated.
Please help,
Tim

I used "finder" to select the files and move them to the mounted blank DVD then selected "Burn to DVD" it then asks you to name it, and says "this disk can be used on any mac or windows based computer" or something to that effect, and I click "Burn" and it burns and verifies the contents. But it hasn't worked so far.
I will try again the way you suggest (fingers crossed).
The problem is likely on the client's computer.
Some computers can't read certain brands of disks, same thing occurs on Mac's.
If you work with this client often you can find out which brand of disk works best with yours and their computers.

Saved layered .psd files display text in preview column

Hi,
I have layered files that I have saved. When I view my files in column format, in the preview area, text appears, not the image. I can't read the text as it is so tiny. Even when I magnified it I couldn't red it. It just seems to happen to files saved as .psd, not to jpegs.
Has this happened to other people? If you have a solution, other than flattening the file, as I wish to save the layers, please help me. Thank you in advance.

>When I view my files in column format, in the preview area, text appears, not the image. I can't read the text as it is so tiny.
Meaning you are previewing in the Finder?
That is possibly because you have an Alpha channel in the file.
If you learn to use Bridge CS4, instead of using the Finder, you won't have this problem.

CS4 psd file display problem

For some reason within the last few months a problem with the colors that Photoshop is displaying in the application. The colors are not actually wrong if you check the color picker, it's just how it actually looks when you're working on it. In addition, when you are moving the tab in Photoshop if it's not maximized, the color is correct.
How it currently looks:
How it should and does look when actually moving the file within Photoshop
Has anyone seen this?

Actually that was only half of it...next is to see if an updated video card driver can fix the problem permanently. Check with the GPU manufacturer's site (ATI/NVidia).
What happened was probably that Windows update delivered a buggy (and outdated) driver. Next time check "hide this update" and it won't show up again.

I keep trying to sync things among my MacBook Pro, iPAD, and iPhone. Usually this works fine for a few days, but then I notice that the calendars aren't syncing and the "notes" aren't syncing. How can I get them all to stay in sync?

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2.
I have an iPad 2 running 8.1.3
I have an iPhone 6 Plus running 8.1.1
I have my Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Notes set up to sync over iCloud among the three devices.
I haven't had a problem with the Mail or Contacts syncing (at least not as far as I know), but the Notes and the Calendars don't seem to stay sync'd up. I will notice that they aren't sync'ing, will delete and re-sync and they are fine for a while, but inevitably they stop sync'ing at some point. This has been true through earlier incarnations of operating systems, so not something new.
How can I get them to sync and stay sync'd?

This was removed in 10.9. You may have better luck getting assistance in the relevant Mac forum.

About a week ago, water got into my headphone jack of my IPhone 4s and it was working fine for a few hours but all of a sudden the screen went black and I can't turn it back on. I put my phone in rice for a few days but the screen is still black.

However, I took some screenshots and when I went to upload the pictures to my Mac, the screenshots uploaded. So I believe my phone still is working but the screen is just not turning on. I tried holding down the home and top button for ten seconds, even longer, but nothing occurred. I am hoping to find a possible solution so I do not have to buy a new phone. Thank you!

The backlight burned out from getting it wet. You will have to replace the screen at a 3rd party shop, buy a screen and replace it yourself, or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD.

The letters e-o on my keyboard is not working properly. Nothing spilled, Laptop not dropped. I've cleaned out underneath and everything seems fine. Problem happens intermittently but seems to get worst the longer I have the computer on. Any ideas?

Macbook pro OSX Version 10.9.4
Top row of letters, e-o, are sluggish and not working each time press them.
I have cleaned underneath them, I did not spill anything or drop the computer - It just started to happen.
Any ideas????

The behavior of the keyboard not responding after the machine is on and used for a time sounds a lot like swelling under the keyboard…the battery is under the keyboard, processor to the side, and issues with trackpads and keyboards have often ended up being a battery swelling. Makes it worth while taking the MacBook Pro in sooner rather than later to have it checked. The techs may ask to keep the machine for a few hours so they can run it long enough to see the behavior if nothing shows immediately on their diagnostics.
When things like this happen, my attitude is on the conservative side…check it out before it can get worse.

What is the best way to get PATHS from one Photoshop psd file to another?

Hi! New on the site, and I signed up specifically to ask the best way to import one .psd file into another, including the paths on the paths palette.
Almost all of my Photoshop drawings make heavy use of vector paths, which I then stroke using using PS natural-media brushes and the "stroke paths" function (usually with "simulate pressure" checked.) Also, my .psd files tend to be, um, HUGE... and I typically break up a whole drawing into separate PS files and then assemble all of them into one final finished graphic.
I have no trouble moving raster stuff from file to file. Just put all the layers I want to transfer into a group and drag the group to the other .psd. Works fine, including layer masks. But I have not found a good way to get vector paths from the Paths palette of one .psd to another. Of course I can select paths and copy them to the Win clipboard, switch to the other .psd, and paste them back in. The drawback to that method is that I lose the correct size relation between the results of previously done "stroke paths" operations (on raster layers) and the paths that generated them. Sometimes the copied-in paths are way too large, sometimes way too small, never Just Right.
As I'm sure most of you know, if you resize an entire Photoshop document from within PS, any paths it contains are correctly resized along with everything else. That's no longer true after grouped raster layers are dragged over to another document but paths are copied and pasted in. The size connection is lost. (Location placement, too.)
I WANT those paths! After I bring a piece of a drawing into the full final drawing, what looked good when I was working on it separately often doesn't look right any longer and I want to re-stroke those paths using different brush diameter, opacity, etc., or maybe even a completely different brush.
I've tried bring outside .psd files in as smart objects with the Place command but either that doesn't work or I'm not doing it right. Using Place, the paths in the Placed document don't come in at all.
I'll be very grateful for any hints or strategies any of you knowledgeable folks can give me. Thanks very much!
Jim

1. Connect the two macs - firewire, ethernet, sneakernet as suits you - and copy the iPhoto Library Folder from Old Machine to New Machine. Drag it from Home/Pictures to the same location on the new machine.
2. Because all the files 'belong' to the account on the old machine, you have to update the file permissions: hence Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/BatChmod.png
(Credit to Old Toad for this one).
Note: This must be run on the new machine after copying the files over.
3. Then launch iPhoto on the new machine.

PS c24 won't open any psd files - program error

my system:
I'm running photoshop c24 extended. I've got an iMac running osx v.10.5.6, 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo, and have 2gb SDRAM
This morning (29/01/09) I installed a software updates - the iLife media browser update, iDVD update, Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update and Quicktime update. After starting my computer back up I have not been able to open any psd files in photoshop. Jpgs open all right and I am able to create new files. But, anytime that I try to open and existing psd file, it opens up and then I immediately get the following message:
"could not complete your request because of a program error."
If I click ok, the same message pops up again and again, essentially freezing up photoshop and forcing me to force quit the app.
I've tried opening up the same psd files on my laptop and they open just fine. I also tried going back into time machine to retrieve earlier versions in case the psd files I was working with in case they had been corrupted. Nothing has worked... seems to be photoshop not the files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I tried doing the "repair permissions" thing and at first I thought it worked - I was able to open a few psd files. Then I started getting the same problem again.
I don't think ilife installed any fonts - but when I tried to open a different file just now i got a message about some corrupt font files which i didn't get earlier. So I just ran a check with fontBook on all my fonts - got rid of 5 corrupt fonts and about 50 duplicate fonts.
I'm hesitantly optimistic in saying that I think that solved the problem!
thanks for the help!

Using actions and batch processing to maximize compatibility on old psd files

My apologies if this has been answered -- in my search I saw that it was asked multiple times, but not answered.
My goal is to be able to import 5 years of PSD files into Lightroom that were originally saved with maximize compatibility turned off. These files are in shoot folders within year folders.
I have been trying to do this with an action and batch processing through Bridge (Tools>PS>Batch). After switching preferences to MC=always, I have tried an action with a Save command, but that doesn't switch the file to max compat on. Save As does, but it also fixes the destination of the save in the action to a specific folder. I want to be able to overwrite the existing PSD file, leaving it where it is.
Has anyone successfully tackled this issue? I know I can handle it folder by folder, with an action for each folder, but that just wouldn't be cool.
Thank you

L Show - Yes, I found a way and did just that.
Everything as you wrote, using the save-as option. Yes, it will put the folder name into the action BUT it will override it when you run your batch from bridge IF you check in the box "override action save-as command" (and destination: save and close).
Works like a charm (although slow - not utilizing the multiple cores :( )

Can't Relink/Replace PSD Files to New Source...

Hi! I'm having a very odd problem. This file is called "red.ai".
Each swatch is a clipping mask of a different, embedded .psd file. (Swatch 1 = Layer 1 = 1.psd)
Each swatch is on it's own layer.
What I need to do is make a copy of the "red" file, call it "green" (for example) and replace each swatch with the set of green .psd files. (I've got to do this for 10 colors!)
The problem is when I go to place OR relink from the Links window, the .psd file displays as red. Doesn't matter if I browse to the green psd files, purple psd files, or any other color. It's like it's stuck on the path to the red files. If I open a new Illustrator file, the psd's link fine.
Help! I'm trying to keep from getting carpal tunnel.

Illustrator CS3

I don't think that is the problem but I would create a new document and copy everything from the corrupt document and paste into the new one. Save it and see if it is working properly.

I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the one PSD files by distorting the images and colour. Does anyone know how to recover the original images?

I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the open PSD files by distorting the images and colour. They are now completely unrecognisable and unusable. Does anyone know how to recover the original images as I was saving them as I went along but the files are now corrupt?

What version of Photoshop are you running?
I've seen a couple of instances over the last week or two where Photoshop has added masks, strange colours and also merged content from two separate PSD files that were open at the same time.
This has occurred on two different iMacs, (both 10.10.x) running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 (20141204.r.310 x64).
see image below for example:

Two existing .psd files render fine in PS CC 2014, but in 2014.2.2 the output files display as mostly frozen frames.
