U3d removed from Photoshop CS6

There's a thread on the photoshop.com forum regarding the removal of U3D support, but if I try to sign up to comment there, I get a message saying that registration is no longer possible for their forum, so I'm posting this here...
With version 13.0.2, U3D support was REMOVED from Photoshop CS6.
3D is becoming an increasingly popular format to provide for our clients. I work in a prepress environment. The whole suite of Adobe products is integral to a prepress workflow, but it seems that Adobe has been abandoning instead of embracing a growing movement towards 3D.
We started offering 3D pdfs to clients a few years ago and since then, Adobe has ceased developing Adobe Toolkit for 3D and Adobe Acrobat 3D. We actually have to hold on to old PCs running old OSes just so that we can still produce 3D pdfs. Since Toolkit and Acrobat 3D are now extinct, one workaround to getting U3Ds into Acrobat to make 3D pdfs was to export out of Photoshop. As of now, it is the only Adobe software that I'm aware of that was able to produce the only format (U3D) that Acrobat Pro was able to import, and now this very last option has been removed! Unbelievable, that as the demand for 3D in our business is growing exponentially, that Adobe has completely severed off it's last flimsy workaround for writing U3D files. There is now NO Adobe software that can make a U3D for bringing into Acrobat to make 3D PDFs. In other words, absolutely no way for someone using the latest batch of CS software to ever create a 3D PDF. Am I wrong? (Also, U3D was removed INTENTIONALLY?!) It seems that Adobe is purposefully destroying any/every method of creating 3D PDFs. So who's the genius that decided that 3D is on the way out? Our 3D department has been growing and getting busier over the last couple of years.
More importantly for me, I need to import a 3D in photoshop right now. Is there some other way to do it, other than uninstalling and bringing Photoshop back to version 13.0.1?

Bump, and I just tried logging in to http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/cant_export_u3d_files_in_photoshop_v 13_0_2 using the same login/pass that works just fine at this forum. At the above site, I still get the error message. If someone can pass on my message to the topic there, I'd be grateful.
I'm still hoping u3d support will be reinstated, and that 3d pdfs are saved from the brink of extinction by Adobe. Btw, if you do restore u3d support, please make it in a dot release so all CS6 users can get back what was removed in one of the previous dot releases (it still sounds ridiculous when I read it back to myself). It's only fair. If it becomes a "cloud" only thing it will only make Adobe look even worse, taking AWAY a functionality in a CS6 dot release and then reinstating it in a cloud release that I'd have to subscribe to. (I can't, I work in a large digital prepress company and we will only be getting the site version that we paid for)

I have downloaded Photoshop CC. Can I remove now Photoshop CS6 from my computer

I have downloaded Photoshop CC. Can I remove now Photoshop CS6 from my computer.

Hi there,
You can have both Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe Photoshop CS6 on the same system and both will work fine.
In case you need to remove photoshop CS6 from your system, you will first have to deactivate it so save the activation count which you can use it for the future to reactivate.
Activation:
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
Start the application.
Choose Help > Deactivate and choose one of the following options.
Deactivate or Suspend Activation. These options deactivate the software but retain licensing information. Choose one of these options if you want to temporarily deactivate the software, and you're planning to activate on this computer again.
Deactivate permanently. This option deactivates the software and removes the licensing information from your computer. Enter the serial number again if you want to use the software on this computer.
Deactivation:
CS6: You log in with your Adobe ID to activate your software when you install it or within the first seven days of use. Follow the steps below.
Steps:
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
Start the application.
Choose Help > Activate. (If this option is dimmed, you've already activated your software)
Log in with your Adobe ID (usually your email address) to activate your software. If you don’t have an Adobe ID, you see an option to create one.
Optional (CS5 & earlier): After you activate, also register your Adobe product for faster and easier access to support and upgrades.
If you need the free download link for CS6, you can visit [ http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html ]
Thank you

Zoom to 'Print Size' feature completely removed from Photoshop 13.0.2

Adobe decided to remove the 'Print Size' button/option from the 'Zoom' tool in Photoshop 13.0.2
I use this heavily as I run a print lab and I often need to show people on screen what the size of their print will be (I have set the correct ppi for each display in preferences).
I am absolutely amazed they could remove a feature like this without any warning in a minor update. The irony is that for the first time ever retina displays have enough resolution to assess sharpness without going to 100% and the 'View Print Size' is more useful that ever before.
I will probably have to roll back to the last Photoshop version on all systems but before I do, does anyone know if there is a way to get the 'Print Size' option back???
Thanks!

I cannot upload fotos from Photoshop Cs6 or Lightroom 5 to Wordpress

I cannot upload fotos from Photoshop Cs6 or Lightroom 5 to Wordpress whatsoever. When I export with lightroom 4 trial, no problem.
Social media marketing is an important part of my business as a photographer, so it is very important for me to make this work.
Thank you for your help.
- Reinhard

The uploaded file has 389kb... Wordpress accepts everything up till 1mb
error message (see image) is german saying 'bei dem upload ist ein fehler aufgetreten. Probier es später nochmal.' In english should by something like 'there was an error while uploading. Try again later.'
is definitely a adobe problem, because I tried the exact same foto with same export settings, and it works well with lightroom 4 as well as photoshop cs5, but neither lightroom 5 nor photoshop cs6...

Did Russell Brown's Adobe Paper Textures Pro (extension) get removed from Photoshop CC (2014.2) October release?

Did Russell Brown's Adobe Paper Textures Pro (extension) get removed from Photoshop CC (2014.2) October release?

I was just about to make a comment on the Discussions page. I believe that the reason I couldn’t get Paper Textures to work in PS CC (2014.2) is because all (2014) versions of PS are HTML based not Flash based.
Adobe should have called Photoshop CC (2014) Photoshop CC (HTML) so we would remember that switch over in their core coding.
Now I have to got to Russell’s script site and get Paper Textures 3.1.0.
Thanks for helping.

Why are 3D objects incredibly small when exported from Photoshop CS6?

When I attempt to export 3D objects for use in Apple's iBooks Author software—say, a Collada 3D model of Earth for a children's science book—from Photoshop CS6, the object comes out impossibly small or completely invisible. It will work just fine in Photoshop, but if I view it in Finder using Quick Look, open it in Preview, or drop it into an iBooks Author project, the object appears so small that it's useless. No amount of scaling it in said software corrects the issue, either.
What happened? Is there a new export preset I'm missing? I used this exact same process in Photoshop CS5, and it worked wonderfully.
Thank you!

HI,
Am also having similar problem with exporting 3d model into ibook or iauthor.
Any help ?

Printing from Photoshop CS6

Having problems printing from photoshop cs6 the colors are way off. How do you collebrate the printer to print whats on screen?

you are going to have to try and match your printer colors to the image colors. many questions involving color management and your settings in PS: is CMYK set? set your "printer handles colors"?
for color management:
1. calibrate and profile your monitor
2. set up an image color space
3. configure your printer driver for the print.

Converting to Photoshop CC from Photoshop CS6

If I convert to Photoshop CC from Photoshop CS6 will I have to uninstall the CS6 version or could it continue to run alongside CC?

If you want it can stay installed. It is installed in a separate folder, so they do not affect each other.

I use my own color profiles from Photoshop CS6/Mac Pro - how do I turn of Epson Artisan 837 printer color management?

Choose Photoshop Manages Color in the CS6 print dialogue. At the top, click the Print Settings button and disable any color management settings for the printer.
Edit: Correction, that's CS6 in Snow Leopard. In Mountain Lion, if you check the print settings, color management for the printer should automatically be disabled when using Photoshop Manages Color.

Strange cropping activity from photoshop cs6 to lightroom 4.3

i have never noticed the following activity:
I edited, including cropping, an image in photoshop CS6. I saved the image as a tif and also as a psd. Both sent to a folder which exists in LR catalog. Both images were revealed in LR with the SYNCHRONIZE FOLDER command.
Both images are shown in the appropriate folder, BUT BOTH ARE CROPPED MUCH MORE THAN was done in CS6 editing. Approx 1 inch has been removed along the left side (long dimension) of both images as compared to the dimensions in CS6. They happen to be sitting next to the original image in the LR catalog and it is easy to see the unwanted change. The route from CS6 to LR 4.3 was what I normally use.
WHAR COULD HAVE CAUSED THE APPARENT ADDITIONAL CROPPING SEEN IN LR. Developing in LR crop does allow the image to be restore to proper dimensions by expanding the cropped edge.
wonder if this makes any sense?
I have probably set a switch wrong in LR but cannot find my error. Photoshop seems to have performed flawlsessly.
I use iMac, i7, 10.8.2, 16GB ram.

thank you cornelia, for your reply.
I really have no workflow as I rarely do more than retouching of photos for others, each of which usually requires an irregular, often trial-by-error workflow. Most of these images are in very poor condition and are less than well photographed.
The "future project" was really a shortcut to say that i suspected that my client cannot open PSD on her machine and I wanted to have tiffs available for her.
I am afraid that i have not clearly described what i saw happen. And, it continues to occur with this single image after repeat tests of the same procedure. NONE of the other images in that folder, or any other image I have, responded in the way I attempted to describe. Probably user error-I guess I will never know!
In any case, I am very grateful that your had the time to respond.

Upgrade from Photoshop cs6 extended Demo to full non extended software

Hi there
I was wondering, when upgrading my Photoshop CS6 extended demo to the full version of Photoshop CS6 (non extended) does the extended demo need to be completely removed first to prevent conflicts?

Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CS6 Extended are installed from the same files, available for download. By default, the trial enables the complete feature set in Photoshop CS6 Extended. If you choose to purchase Photoshop CS6 rather than Photoshop CS6 Extended, you may simply enter your serial number for Photoshop, and the Photoshop Extended features for 3D design and scientific analysis will be turned off and hidden from view.

Browse in Bridge CS6 from Photoshop CS6

I’m really looking for a "reveal in Finder" function.
Seems like the "Browse in Bridge" is the nearest thing in Photoshop CS6.
The first time I used the browse-command, it showed me the picture in Bridge. All good.
Suddenly it only switches to Bridge and nothing else happens.
Same thing for the "browse in Mini Bridge" command.
I checked, and the same ting happens whether the file is on my drive or on the company server.
Anyone got a tip?
Thanks.

If you are NOT using the Application Frame (documents in tabs) you can use the long time Mac feature to view the file path .
Just right click on the document name in the title bar. It will show the complete file path.
You can even select any point in this path and it will open the selected folder in the Finder.
If you just want to know where the file is on your hard drive, the procedure is faster and also keeps the focus on Photoshop rather that opening a Finder window that will come to the front and have the Finder take the focus away from Photoshop.

What is missing from Photoshop CS6 ???

     I tried the new PhotoShop CS6 (beta) but aside from some innovations of which my favorite is the interface (The interface is one of the best innovation that Adobe have made finally an interface that does not make you eyes hurt) and content aware move tool (content aware is definitely the best technology in Photoshop, may in the future in Photoshop CS20 will be voice-activated and will do exactly what you say even to draw for you) and maybe the new brushis, nothing that new, especially for those who draw in Photoshop concept artists, Ilustrators and so on ... etc
      In my opinion what is missing from the famous Photoshop CS 6 and should have been is :
     1 : Live symmetry drawing (horizontal and vertical) even the simplest programs like Alchemy / Sketchbook Pro and new Painter 12 has the function they have gone beyond the horizontal and vertical with the function of Kaleidoscope. I really like how the brush works in Alchemy especially in symmetry, in Sketchbook Pro are not so good in symmetry, unless thei are round but if you have a strange shapes thei tend to function as a parallel very strange but it is ther why the famous Photoshop does not have this function ??? I hoped that in PS CS6 (beta) to be, but no, I do hope maybe in the CS7 will be,
     2: I would like to make several sets of brushes, but in different windows on the screen at the same time not only a big one something like Corel Painter 12
     3: If you put a 3d function why do you tried to do something like the Google SketchUP fast, simple to use and easy to learn, or a simplified version of ZBrush sculpture in 3d clay ???
     Ok now let's talk about Bridge CS6: same functions, nothing so new, I hope that in the cs6 to implement something like the function of ACDSee Photo Manager 12 for example:
     Preview Thumbnails in a files, shortcuts that can be modified, such as double click I want to open fullscreen preview not send in photoshop or Camera Raw etc, why not the same as Photoshop, to make what I want to what I want, preview window to have the option of framing the image even if it is small or large (fit image, reduce or enlarge) the same for full screen mode the image will be framed by the edges of the screen (fit image height or widthand reduce or enlarge) from there if you want 100%, 200% etc. and many others
     What is right, there are many other features that I like and love in Bridge much more than ACDSee 12 such as preview multiple images at the same time in preview window and Review Mode (one of my favorite) and many others but ...   ... What was more important to me I said maybe for someone else is something else missing ...

…Why on earth would you want to restrict Photoshop?…
Because I may consider it to be bloated already?
Because I don't need to be driving around in a motor home when my car fills my needs?
Because I don't need a hammer that doubles as a screwdriver or water-heater when I need to drive a nail?
Because a scalpel may be more useful for my purposes than a Swiss-army knife?
Because I would prefer the engineering team to work on refining existing features and improving stability rather than add features that are better served in drawing and painting applications?
Because I'm not particularly impressed by some of the new "features"?
Because I would prefer to see improvements to the History panel as have been suggested and requested over the years?
I could think of many more such reasons why.

Duh! Precisely!
Software bloat adds to the cost of developing and maintaining an application, delays the release of bug fixes and genuine improvements of existing features and eventually demands greater hardware resources.
I have no clue as to what the he!! your "Prime Minister" quote is supposed to mean in the context of this discussion, unless you're implying that you feel like a 21-year-old whippersnapper who knows everything. From your avatar picture you look younger than I am. Besides, I know of very few "prime ministers" who are, were or have been particularly knowledgeable about "everything", so that may not even be a requirement for the job.
