Unable to use warp in script - Photoshop CS2

Hi,
I could not warp the image using javascript from Adobe Extendscript interface. This is what I tried.
1) Created an action with warp, converted the action to jsx using xtools.
2) Used Scriptlistener to record ward and used the javascript.
When the run the code, all the other actions are performed on the image, except warp. Script runs successfully. But warp is not performed.
Here is a sample warp code from Xtools:
function step44(enabled, withDialog) {
    if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)
      return;
    var dialogMode = (withDialog ? DialogModes.ALL : DialogModes.NO);

Hi,
I created a Warp in Photoshop CC --> recorded the action --> converted action to jsx using xtools --> Ran the script. Warp is not working through jsx in Photoshop CC as well. No error is displayed - but the image won't warp. I am trying to get the same warp effect using liquify filter but it does not come good.
Have anyone got warp successfully in javascript? Pls help.
Thanks

  • Unable to use Organiser in both Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements

    I am unable to use Organizer in both Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements. An error message appears, "The catalog could not be opened. An internal program error occurred."
    I have tried to repair the catalog, starting a new catalog, and reinstalled both programs, but the error persists.
    I am using Elements and Premier Elements V12 on Windows 8.1.
    Any help to get me going again would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello
    Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't make any difference.
    However, by trail and error I have found a 99% solution.
    Right Click the Elements icon on Desktop.
    Select Troubleshoot Compatibility.
    Select Troubleshoot Program
    Select a problem option (I used Other)
    Select Windows Version (Windows 8 for me)
    Select Test the Program
    If it works, which it did in my case, Save the settings.
    This seems to have resolved my problem, with the exception that I now get an extra screen when opening Elements to allow the program to make changes to my computer. I can live with that.
    When I get time I will check whether there are any Adobe or Windows updates that will make this step unnecessary.
    I hope this will help other people with the same problem.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Unable to see DNG files in Photoshop CS2

    Hi:
    I am using Photoshop CS2 in Windows XP Pro and have *.CR2 pictures taken with Canon EOS 40D.
    I downloaded Camera_Raw_3.7.zip and extracted Camera Raw.8bi to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats
    I downloaded Adobe DNG Converter ver. 4.3.1 and converted the Canon CR2 files to DNG files.
    I can see the pictures in Adobe Bridge CS2 1.0.4.6 fine.
    However, when I open Adobe Photoshop CS2 and try File/open, the drop down does not show any selection for DNG files. If I try to physically drag a file into Photoshop, I get the message that the extension is not supported.
    Upon opening Help/About Plug-In, I do not see Camera raw anywhere in the long list.
    What do I need to do to bring DNG files into Photoshop?
    Thanks.

    If you don't see Camera Raw in the list it usually means that it is not in the correct folder or the it might be damaged.
    It looks like you listed the correct folder at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats
    When you navigate to that folder do you see Camera Raw.8bi listed? It might only say Camera Raw, depending on how you have Windows set up.
    Did you restart Photoshop after putting the filter into the File Formats folder?

  • Using Elements Organizer with Photoshop CS2

    I have grown comfortable with Photoshop Elements integrated organizer and have upgraded to Photoshop CS2 and instead of using the CS2 file manager would like to continue to use the Elements organizer. The problem Im having is when I edit a photo in CS2 and save it, I have to go find the edited file in Elements organizer and add it manually to the organizer, where if I edit in Photoshop elements, the file is automatically added in the organizer for me. Is there something I can do to make this more automatic when I edit in CS2?
    Thanks
    Joe

    Joe,
    I have all the current updates for both products, but other than that, I've
    done nothing special.
    For regular file types (jpg, psd, etc.) the handshake goes without a hitch.
    Raw files act a little quirky. Raw files do get passed from Organizer to
    CS2 and they open in camera raw. But, I've found that if you don't press
    the "open" button in camera raw, CS2 will give you an error message that
    says it couldn't receive the document from "Photoshop Album". Click ok on
    that message and you get another that says it could not complete the update
    from the Photoshop Album command because of a program error.
    If, I press "open" in the camera raw dialog to edit in CS2, all is fine. If
    I make changes and save, Organizer pops up a message saying I've returned to
    Organizer and gives me an option to add to a version set or keep it
    separate. It adds to the version set fine. But, since I only selected save
    in CS2, it remains open there. If I make further edits to the open file and
    save, I have to manually update the organizer thumbnail. On the other hand,
    if I just click close and respond yes to the "save changes" message , I get
    two popups -- one labled "edited file from Photoshop" and "new edited file".
    If I click "ok" on both, I get two entries in the version set. (I've done
    that with a regular file and I only get one popup.)
    So, there you have it. Ordinary files work as expected. But, raw is quirky.
    Raw files work fine if you continue to open in CS2 from camera raw and only
    save once.

  • Using iBook 12" for PhotoShop CS2? Durability compared to PowerBook?

    I'm thinking about getting a new Mac. I would really like an iMac 20", but that may be too much to spend right now.
    I'm thinking an iBook would give me portability, as well as being able to connect to a monitor and keyboard while at home. I suppose it is like a Mac Mini, but with a built in monitor and keyboard.
    My questions are:
    1. How well will the 12" iBook run PhotoShop CS2, with 1.5GB of RAM? (Is the PowerBook 15" much faster?)
    2. Is the iBook more durable than the PowerBooks? I prefer the look of the PowerBook, since the iBook looks like a student laptop, but if it's more durable, I guess I can live with that.
    3. Is the 4500 RPM hard drive a big drawback compared to the 5400 RPM drives in the PowerBooks?
    I will mainly be using Adobe CS2, Macromedia Dreamweaver and Microsoft Office.
    Thanks for any help,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    I have a 12" iBook G4 with 1.5gb of ram and I run the adobe creative suite just fine. The ram is definately going to help you in terms of running multiple CS applications at once.
    As far as the hard drive is concerned...of course a 4200rpm drive is going to be slower than a 5400. But I dont consider it to be too much of a drawback. Most of my work in CS is done with an external firewire drive spinning at 7200 anyway.
    As far as durability goes, i cannot comment on a powerbook as I have never owned one. I keep my iBook in an incase iBook sleve, its with me all the time and so far has been well protected. However, Powerbook or iBook...if you drop it..its going to get damaged in some way.
    Good luck with your decision.

  • Unable to use place command in photoshop

    I am unable to use the place command in photoshop cs5.5 since upgrading to mavericks. The window pops open briefly then shuts immediately. Photoshop hangs as it is still awaiting the action to complets. The same behavior exists when attempting to add attachments to emails. Any idea what may be causing this? This only began to occur after the upgrade to mavericks.

    If should work.  If I read  this correctly your last driver is a year old.  Visit ATI site and download latest.

  • Unable to use Back-up Feature (Photoshop Elements 5.0)

    I am running Photoshop Elements 5.0 on Windows 7.  The back-up feature no longer functional.  My last full back-up was a year ago.  When I try to perform an incremental back-up, it hangs (Not Responding) and I have to close the program.  With over 34,000 photos, I am concerned about continuing to use the program to manage my photos. I am hesitant to upgrade to 11 with all the problems I am having with 5.0 (no back-up and unable to share photos to Outlook).

    Same solution as your other post.  Reset your preferences:
    <http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/tips/questions/172/How+can+I+reset+th e++preferences+in+Photoshop+Elements%3F++>
    This should not stop you from buying version 11 because version 11 is still supported up to windows 8. 

  • Unable to open ANY file in Photoshop CS2

    I was working on pretty big files. Lots of layers. I decided to restart the Computer in order to speed up the process. Once the computer booted up again i double clicked on one of the images and I got the lovely beach ball for quite some time...after well...about 2 minutes or so...NO sign of ANYTHING happenning i decided to close the program using the Command + Tab and then Quitting from there instead of force quit. USUALLY when I do that it takes a while to regroup and close, this time it does it instantly. NO files are opening it just stays there... "thinking" and when I quit it quites instantly. Has anyone else experienced this in the past? How could I solve this problem I am going NUTS! lol
    Thank you for your time. Hope I can get some help soon.

  • Finder quits when I try to use contextual menu on Photoshop CS2 JPEGs

    Everytime when I right-click on a .jpg file saved in Photoshop's "save as" dialogue, the finder crashes immediately. It doesn't occur, when the JPEG was saved with Photoshop's "save for web" dialogue.
    A Finder or a Photoshop problem?

    Hmmm, do you remember if there were any Contextual Menu items installed by you?
    I'd try dragging the things out of these folders and put them back one at a time with a reboot to find the offener...

  • CS2 InDesign/Photoshop/Illustrator unable to use Save As Version this action is greyed out.

    Unable to use Save As Version in CS2 running a MAC G5 10.4.6 2GB DDR SDRM. Attempting use Version Cue and Bridge but unable to do a Save As Version because it is greyed out. Have reloaded ran updates etc. etc. I don't normal use bridge to work on a project but recently watched the video training and felt it offered several features of use, but need to be able to save as version. Sherry C

    You must first create a version cue project. In bridge Tools>Version Cue>New Project...
    Create a file and save it (or make a copy) in the folder you saved in the Version Cue workspace(The version cue workspace must be ON), which is default c:\program files\adobe\adobe version cue cs2\data
    now you can save versions of this document.

  • When I install Adobe CS2 Premium everything except Photoshop CS2 installs?

    I have my original Adobe CS 2 Premium Edition. I run set up as admin etc and put in my serial etc etc all that goes smoothly. Now I would select the components I want to install. Photoshop Cs2 and Illustrator CS2. So after the installation I see illustrator and I can open it and use it, however I am unable to see a sight of Photoshop CS2 on the start menu, desktop, even made a search for it and no avail. I never received any error message as to it didn't install properly. So how come i'm not seeing adobe photoshop cs2.
    Btw, my laptop is Windows 7 Home Basic, I installed the same software on an older computer xp and the same issue persists...can anyone help? It's obviously not an error message just that i am not seeing any sign of adobe photoshop on my laptop?
    I even installed it in a different location on the C drive etc. Still nothing worked.

    I know Adobe shut off the Activation servers, so your original CS2 will not work anyway.
    Adobe has provided a free CS2 replacement. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
    Download the replacement and the serial number next to it. Your old CD and serial number is no longer valid.

  • Exporting or Saving for InDesign after creating in Photoshop CS2 ?

    Hi
    I have created a design mainly using dingbat fonts in Photoshop CS2 and want to save it (I think as a TIFF) for use in InDesign CS5.
    I have tried but when I 'place' to TIFF image in InDesign the quality looks terrible, can someone please advice on what i might be doing wrong?
    The documnet has been created as 600dpi, A5 so 21cm x 14.8cm and I have the colour set for CMYK.
    When I'm saving the file I'm offered TIFF options, including image compression, for which I have chosen JPG and Maximum quality 12, I've attached a screenshot of the TIFF options.
    As I say any help you can provide who be greatly appreciated, the design if for a brochure and it needs to be as clear as the software will allow.
    Regards
    Ash

    Without seeing how the design was created in Photoshop it's hard to give an exact answer.
    However, as D Fosse mentioned, if the text in Photoshop are still "live text layers" (editable - not rasterized) you should save as a Photoshop PDF and place this in InDesign.
    While both Photoshop PSD and Photoshop PDF can save intact text layers as vectors within Photoshop, only Photoshop PDF will keep the text vectors when placed in InDesign.
    Text layers in a Photoshop PSD file will be rasterized at the resolution of the Photoshop document when placed in InDesign.

  • I have Photoshop CS2. Using Win7 [32bit]. Unable to use Transform & Free Transform, (faded print).

    I have Photoshop CS2. Using Win7 [32bit]. I am unable to use Transform & Free Transform, (faded print).
    It has been available to me up to now. I have tried all I can think of to bring it back.
    Hoping someone out there can help, thanks.
    Regards, Patrick.

    Thanks for your early reply, most appreciated.
    Firstly, I downloaded the screencast.com, which I failed to understand
    at this time.
    In your e-mail you mentioned about Layers palette being visible. I
    should mention here that I have never used Layers and I've had  my CS2
    since 06/2005. I have only used the basics but would have liked to have
    experimented with all that's on offer.
    Anyway I went to Layers  and clicked on New Layer, the went back to
    Tranform and Bingo!, it was up and running.
    You are a genius for putting me on the right track, I've been without
    Transform/Skew & Warp for nearly two years!
    Thanks again.
    What do I do now do I goto the Forum or does this e-mail get sent to there?
    Regards, Patrick.
