When working in photoshop the canvas/image turns black

when working in photoshop the canvas/image turns black - not allowing me to view the materials. what is causing this? how can it be fixed? very frustrating when working on a file and all of a sudden it's no longer visible.

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

When edit in photoshop, the edited image is added to the catalog in a duplicate of the same volume..

Ok, this is realy strange...
I edit in photoshop a cr2 file from a canon 20d
Once done with the edit, i clic save in photoshop
The file is saved as a tif but, in the folder view in the library, i now have 2 instances of the same volume...
In the first instance of that volume, the one that should be there, i do not see the new edited tif file (& the file count did not went up by 1)but in the second instance of the same volume, i now have only the new tif file under that directory...
here is what i see...
Local Disk (E:)
Wedding 8718
Peter & Josée 499
Local Disk (E:)
Peter & Josée 1 (this one is the tif after the edit in PS)
If i detete the tif, then right-clic Remove the directory Peter & Josée under the second instance of Local Disk (E:), the second instant of the volume will be gone as well.
It does that every time i edit in photoshop.

I noticed something...
Looking at the metadata of both files, i found a little difference in the folder field information in metadata...
My original cr2 file in the real volume has this in the folder field... E:\Wedding\Peter and Josée... notice it start with a capitale E
The file in the "ghost folder" under the duplicate of the same volume has: e:\Wedding\Peter and Josée... lowercase for the drive letter
When i reinstall the previous version of Camera Raw, i have the message in LR saying i need 4.5 for full compatibility... i clic render using LR, and it works... But this time both files start with a capitale E in the folder field in metadata...

Entire image turns black when using the type tool in Photoshop CC

When I create a text layer, the whole image turns black. If I enter the text blindly, I will see the expected results when I finish and click on another tool. If I try to edit the text layer, everything turns black again. I am not using the type mask tool. I can select and move the layer and I can blend the layer; I just can't see what I am typing.

I had the same problem and the update of the video card driver did not help - only after changing the settings in photoshop under "Preferences >> Performance >> Advanced settings >> Basic" the problem was solved

Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded. Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows. Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution so it uses its pixels however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display. Other application let Windows scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels. The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays 2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
The reg update and external manifest file effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution. Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768. Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display 3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

…photoshop need a recovery or auto save system.
tworules,
You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running. As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine. As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
Take care, Mike

I ca not install Itunes 10.5 on vista or windows 7 my iPhone 4 is much slower and freezes and also certain apps and also certain features will not work on the phone now that I cannot update it to ios5.

The entire image turn white while I use the adjustments

When I try to make an adjustment in Aperture on a photo the entire image turns white. I will try to adjust the vibrancy, brightness, or several other adjustments and it always turns the entire image white. This use to be a periodic thing that happened. Once I rebooted the computer it would go back, but it is now happending to every single image I try to edit/adjust. Can I somehow get the image to appear correctly?

When I pan left, the volume is turned down instead of being panned left???

When I pan left, the volume is turned down instead of being panned left???
The instrument strip and output 1-2 are both in stereo in my environment. I don't get it-any ideas anyone?
I'm using logic 7.2.3
Thanx in advance
!

Thanks for your response.
hrmmm..... I don't see any "Pan Law". I'm running Logic 7.2.3 btw.
I think it might be my audio drivers.
"I have a FW 410 interface, everything seems to work fine except for the panning. Instead of panning properly, the volume is turned down when I pan left and volume is raised when I pan right. This only happens when I have the FW 410 interface selected in the audio/hardware setup. Panning under the built-in audio works fine so I would imagine it's the M-Audio drivers for the FW 410 that need a working update for Leopard."
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanx again in advance,
Paul

Would anyone know why some of my downloaded images turn black and green when I tap to look at them?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup

Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

I have just bought iphone 4 and when I make calls i don't hear anything from the headset excep when i plug in the headphones or turn on speaker ?

I have just bought iphone 4 and when I make calls i don't hear anything from the headset excep when i plug in the headphones or turn on speaker ?

I have the same problem. It only started a few days ago. When I make or receive calls I have to use speaker otherwise I can't hear a thing. I'm also pretty sure that when I try to make calls without the speaker turned on, it doesn't actually dial, but the display says it has.
I've tried restoring from a backup with no luck. I'm reluctant to restore as a new phone as it's such a pain.

When I start Photoshop the program stop functioning and shuts down, I just upgraded the memory so the computers capacity should be fine.
