Unable to change mode to 8-bit

This is an unusual and irksome probolem. I work on images in CS4, latest version, exported from Lightroom as 16bit then flatten layers and change mode to 8bit, using a simple action. I have a stubborn image which fails to allow any changes to the mode and I cannot work out why. All others behave naturally. I have studied the history and found that layers are flattened and I can save the image, but it simply won't allow me change from 16 to 8bit.  Can anyone suggest why and what I need to do other than start again afresh in Lightroom?
Thank you
David

Adobe VERY occasionally changes action step definitions behind the scenes.  The step may look and read the same to you.  Usually you see this if you have an action recorded in a different (generally newer) version of Photoshop.  Layer - Merge is one such step, which changed at some point or another.  In this particular case, Layer - Merge from an older Photoshop will generally work in a newer version, but not vice versa.
Was your action recorded using your same version of Photoshop (i.e., CS4)?
What exact step does it fail on?
Can you do the operation it tried to do manually and succeed?  If so, delete the failed step and re-record it using your version of Photoshop on your image.  You may want to make a copy of the action first (ideally, save it on disk so you'll have a copy you can reload if things go wrong).
If you'd like, post a copy of the .atn file and I'm sure someone here will be happy to look it over and make more detailed suggestions.

  • Unable to switch Central System Administration into Change Mode

    Hi,
    I am bit rusty on the Solution Manager - Central System Administration.
    While experimenting with my Solman system I did the following.
    1. Logged into Solman and started transaction Solution_Manager
    2. Switched to the Solution that has been configured and then followed Operations Setup->Solution Monitoring -> System Administration -> Central System Administration for <My System> (here my system is the system I wish to monitor).
    3. After following the navigation to the selected item as described in step 2, I selected the menu items Session Components->Complete.
    4. After this action of selecting the Complete session from the menu, my Central System Administration for <My System> is continuously showing Display Mode.
    I am unable to switch back the system to Change Mode.
    Am I missing something ? What needs to be done ?
    Regards,
    Siddhesh

    This was the wrong step. By setting the Session Component to "Complete", no further changes are allowed (and you receive a pop-up).
    The procedure to reopen the session component is not documented for customers. Please create a customer message on SV-SMG-MON-CSA, open the service connection and provide logon information.
    You might state my name in the message, I will then assist the message processor.

  • Help! My copy of CS5 won't show lighting effects, and changing it to 32 bit mode does nothing

    Hi guys,
    I have a copy of CS 5.1 and my system is a Macbook Pro on Mac OS 10.6.8
    I want to use lighting effects, so I changed it to 32 bit mode. So I go in to Photoshop and it's not there. I reset PS's settings, restart the computer as well. Still nothing.
    Wah. It worked before in the past, so why not now? Also I checked the plugin folder to make sure the lighting effect plugin was actually there and, yes it was. So what gives?
    Anyway, any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated, thankyou
    Jan

    Ok this is the render menu in 32 bit mode. Annndddd...
    I noticed there is still the 'x64' beneath CS' title... is that supposed to be there when you boot in 32 bit mode? Or could it be that my CS just isn't loading in 32 bit?
    Anyway thanks for replying!

  • OpenHub - unable to change the extraction mode in DTP

    Hi there,
    I have an Open Hub that is loaded from two InfoCubes and I need to change the DTPs from both of them.
    The problem is that Iu2019m unable to change the extraction mode of both DTPs from Delta to Full in spite of having deleted the Open Hub table. Even I have deleted the requests from the InfoCubes, but itu2019s not working.
    What else I have to do to change the extraction mode? Are there any other tables I should delete first?
    Thanks!!

    hi Rocio.
    Yes i think u can achieve this using an Init DTP load.
    first try to run an Init DTP , Init Without Data Transfer, select it from the Execute tab of processing Mode and then try to run the delta DTP without any load, then successive can be done.
    hope this will help u.
    thanks

  • EA6900 - Unable to Change to Bridge Mode or Reset router Via Smart Wi-fi

    I am unable to change to Bridge mode to do a reset of the router from within the software. There is no option to change it to Bridge.  And under Diagnostics, there is no option to Reset.  I am trying first and foremost to set the IP scheme to the same as my DSL router. I would rather not put it in Bridge mode.  I have tried setting the IP out of the range of the DSL router, and within the same scheme.
    It does not work.  This is the most current version of the firmware.

    Hi Dr. Tek, You can try to reset the router for 30 seconds and power cycle it after. Try to access the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi software again and check if you can change the connection type to bridge mode. You can also use another internet browser to isolate the problem.

  • Unable to enter change mode transfer rule

    Hi,
    We are in the middle of our annual stackupgrade (from NW7.0 to NW7.01) and ran into a problem.
    While testing I noticed that loading data from three old DSOs to their related infocubes does no longer work.
    The error reported was that I needed to replicate the datasource and activate the transfer rules again. An error that occurred a lot during this stackupgrade with datasources from other systems.
    Replication of the datasource went just fine, but so far it has not been possible to re-activate the matching tranfer rules.
    I get the following error/message when trying to go into change mode of the transfer rule:
    R3TR generated, changes possible
    As a result the transferrule opens in display mode and it is not possible to change anything or re-activate the transfer rule.
    An authorization issue seems unlikely, because I get the same error with sap all and my actions have been traced without issues.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Generally we do this using program
    RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL
    Programe to activate Transfer Rules in BW
    use program RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL to activate the data sources

  • Unable to change Profile picture in Windows 8

    I recently upgraded to Windows 8.  The upgrade imported a picture from my Windows 7 Skype, and now I am unable to change the profile picture.  There is no menu at the top in Windows 8, which prevents me from changing the profile picture.
    What are my options for correcting this, and also how does one sign out of Skype in Windows 8?
    Thanks so much.

    Although I'd love to provide a proper response, unfortunately I too have only questions, which I'd hope someone could answer. "Opening Skype and clicking on the picture" isn't as helpful as one would hope. With Windows 8 -- in either mode, through either Google Chrome or IE10 -- there is not only no menu or options with either right or left clicking, but no clear way to change a profile picture through any other means. I've tried everything I could think of -- literally wasting HOURS trying to change this thing. Googling the question gets me only fixes that don't appear to apply. In fact, the lack of coherent help regarding anything having to do with Windows 8 is nothing short of mindboggling -- and I consider myself a pretty good finder-of-information normally!!! I read elsewhere in these forums (unfortunately lost to me now that I have signed in) that it may be a problem relating to whether my browser is 32 or 64 bit (if I read it right). I have since tried to load Chrome in 64 bit.... probably unsuccessfully, given I still can't seem to do much differently. Being a bit of a techno-dud I don't know how to check which version I now have as even with the "about:version" function, the reply isn't definitive to my untrained eye (unless WOW64 means something?). I need things somewhat dummied down. I'm totally new to both Windows 8 and Skype (and for that matter Google Chrome, having always been a Firefox fan, which apparently is not working properly for Windows . ANY help that might be available would be greatly appreciated in making this experience less frustrating. Thank you for whatever you can do!!!

  • Unable to change text size

    So I have been unable to change my text size in itunes. When i switch between "large" and "small" text sizes the size remains the same, however the size of the menus and the itunes stores is small. I theorize it was probably some program I installed but since I am nearly constantly adding and removing programs I can't pinpoint which one it was. If anyone can tell me how to fix it or point me in the right direction that would be great. I am including my system info as well as a screen of itune. Thanks.

  • K9a2 plat. v2. unable to change speed on my case fan

    Hi!
    I just bough a 80mm case fan and I can't change it's speed using the BIOS or from within the OS using speedfan.
    The fan in question is a Zalman ZM-F1 with a 3 pin connector.
    The motherboard can detect the fan speed. (3000rpm, so it's registering it correctly) but I have so far been unable to change it's speed. I can't figure out why, since i have a 120mm no-name fan which it detects changes speed just fine.
    The 120mm is connected to sysfan 1 (works)
    The 80mm zm-f1 is connected to sysfan2 (doesn't work)
    I know that I can use a connector to the psu to perma-run the fan in silent mode, but the thing is that i want to be able to control the fan from BIOS (and OS). I can't figure out why i cant control the speed since the bios is able to detect it  Could this be a BIOS issue?
    I've been trying to find something about this issue for myself but this is all i've managed to come up with so far :
    In this link it's mentioned that some motherboards can't monitor the fan speeds. I'm however able to see the fan speed.. so why can't it be changed?  hmm..
    http://www.quietpcusa.com/Zalman-80mm-Quiet-Computer-Fan-with-3-Pin-Connector-ZM-F1-P73C6.aspx
    I hope that some of you might be able to shed some light over the situation. I'm at a loss here.
    Best wishes

    As you can see in BIOS (H/W Monitor) the only Fan Header that allows fan regulation is SYSFan1. I am afraid there is not much you can do besides:

  • Unable to change setings, was in Siri, got 'jammed'

    This 'Senior' got jammed-up. Unable to change settings, settings unresponsive and am stuck in Siri. Problem happened IN SIRI, now can't change settings to even access the Siri option.
    SETTINGS WON'T LET ME ACCESS OPTIONS 'below level of Wallpaper'.  Swipe won'r allow to go to any other screen in settings.
    This happened in SIRI and I can't even disable 'turn-off' Siri 
    Unable to close applications on bottom of screen as well, as usually done.
    The 'voice mode' is on, and that is what jammed everything up.
    The only appications which show 'open on screen are' Messages,Phone, Settings and Safari, Mail, Music,  and I am prevented from 'closing them'.
    I did a turn-off, began again with the apple logo but can't reset.
    Can't get past the first screen in my apps. 
    I BELIEVE it is a SIRI problem but can't change settings other than 'Airplane Mode through Wallpaper.'
    I bet there is someone who would help a 'Grandma'!
    What on Earth IS wrong?!!! and how can I get 'out of it' without going to the Apple Store.
    Tiny store ,International Record  as "Smallest Apple Store in the World", Santa Rosa, California..and they aren't much interested in giving-up that claim to fame!
    it's usually like the 'final boarding of Noah's Ark in there" and NOT a fun place to be!!!

    User's Group,
    Immediate help from randers4 got me 'back in business'. I would have not beieved I could have done this without a trip to the store and a distant appointment date.
    Things seemed messed-up beyond my ability to affect any change!
    Alone, this would not have been possible.  I feel I learned a great deal about the IOS 5 system's Siri quirks.
    This is what it is all about.
    People helping others who know less than they do!
    Gratitude is such a small word,
    this was monumental for me to have done even with the assistance of another person.

  • Organization Staffing - Unable to change org.unit description

    Hi All,
    We are unable to change the short and long descriptions of org.units from the organization and staffing interface. Whereas we are able to change it from the expert mode. If we are changing the descriptions, on pressing 'Enter Key' or on 'Saving' data, system brings back the descriptions as 'New Org Unit' and 'New Organizational Unit' as short and long descriptions. Then we have to go to expert mode for changing it. Any solution ?
    Thanks
    Sreeja

    Try this:
    I presume you have a root Org Unit
    --in Goto menu (on top of the Org Unit etc where you see other icons such as one level up, etc) select Organizational Structure option
    --place your cursor on the root Org Unit and click Create icon - that brings up a small screen which reads "Create Org Unit" -- it should also have validity date as well as Short Text and Long Text
    --Make all the entries and save
    Pl let me know if this has worked for you or if you have a differnet scenario
    As such this is very simple

  • No option to change QT to 32 bit for use in iTunes

    Many, many videos previously seen on iTunes now give this message: "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes. "
    iTunes 13.1.3; Quicktime Pro10.3 (7.7.1)  & 7.6.6 (1710) on Maverick upgraded from Mountain Lion. Everything I could fine on forum says I must use 32 bit mode for older media, and to change options to 32 bit. There is no option for changing to 32 bit on QT. The only other suggestion was to drag all unreadable movies to the desktop, delete them from iTunes, then reinstall the movies into iTunes! That is a horrible lot of work! Is there anyone who has found a way around the problem? I had no problem with the movies playing on 10.8 nor before.

    If the phone has this option or not depends on where the phone was sold (country and operator). Some operators have this feature in their branding.
    I haven't tested it but i believe Handcent SMS has the feature you're looking for: http://www.handcent.com/dir/new/help/doHelp?hid=284
