Where is Tool Palette in Photoshop CS2?

I just installed photoshop cs2. But I cant see any tool palette when I open photoshop for the first time. It has only menus on the top and the working screen is completely blank as if nothing is opened. Even if I open any new image, it is not showing any palette or tools. Please tell me how to open the palette. I want to crop one photo now.

You could try Window>Workspace>Default workspace or Reset Palette Locations.

How do you transfer pen tool drawings from Photoshop CS2 to Flash CS3?

I tried to copy and paste it but that didn't work.
I didn't want to redraw the entire picture in in pen again in Flash (so that I could later animate the drawing), so I was wondering how I could transfer the pen tool drawings from Photoshop to Flash?

helpmepleaze a écrit:
I have an old laptop with Photoshop elements 5.0 and wanted to move that program to my newer PC but the program was too old so I bought and loaded Photoshop Elements 13 on my PC. To import my photos from the 5.0 I did a full backup on a flash drive and then loaded the pictures to the PC with 13. The pictures are there but none of my collections from 5.0. I read the manual and said I was supposed to be prompted to convert old catalogs. I was never prompted and do not know how to transfer my collections in my catalog from 5.0 to the 13.
What you are doing is not only to install a newer version of PSE, it's also to migrate to a new computer.
The general solution is to do a full organizer backup on an external drive and do an organizer restore to the new computer (or new drive).
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
The problem is that since PSE5 is an old version working with a different database engine, you must first use a conversion utility to create a PSE13 version.

So read that paper carefully, do the backup restore and conversion as described.

Tool Palette issue after updating Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.2.

When leaving or hovering the mouse cursor over the Tool Palette in Photoshop usually a small window appears to indicate the name of the tool and keyboard shortcut. However, after updating Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.2 the small window shows but it is now a blank space. I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop CS5 and updated again and this problem persists. Now I wish that I should not have updated from version 12.0.1. Do any other Photoshop CS5 users are seeing this problem?
p.s The Tool-Stack window works fine, when clicking the mouse for a second, and tools are selectable.
The operating software I am using is Windows XP Pro 32 bit.

This is a known problem with the update, and Adobe is working on it.

Tools Palette issue after updating Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.2

After updating Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.2 the Tool Palette is having an issue. Normally when leaving or hovering the mouse cursor on the Tool Palette in Photoshop a small window appears to indicate the name of the Tool and keyboard shortcut. Now this small window shows but the space is blank.
I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop CS5 and again updated but this problem still persists. Now I wish that I should not have updated from Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.1. Do any Photoshop CS5 users have seen this bug with their product? Is it possible to downgrade Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.1?
p.s The Tool-Stack window, when clicking the mouse and holding for a second on the Tool Palette, opens and shows all the corresponding Tools that can be selected and to be used.
I use Windows XP Professional 32 bits as operating software.

This is a known problem with the update, and Adobe is working on it.

Photoshop CS2 Text Tool Error Message

This is really weird... I think this is the first time I ever heard of this kind of problem. I just installed Photoshop CS2 and everything seems to work fine instead of the text tool. When I try to use it there is an error message that pops up saying: "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being intialized."
Whats even more weird is that it allows me to drag out a very small text box (so small no text can be fit in it). After that, I can resize the box, and I try to type in it but the cursor doesn't change and I can't type in the text box. And sometimes another error message may appear saying a program error occured.
I even tried re-installing the software, and still no success.
I am using Windows Vista Home Edition Premium, anyone can help me I will be greatly appreactive!

Try resetting your text tool from the drop-down menu in the character palette. If that doesn't help reset your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

jpg does not support Layers.
Just to make sure, what exactly do you mean by "stacking photos" and what do you want to achieve thereby?

(Photoshop CS2) It crashes every time I use my brush tool for a long time. Help?

Hi,
I have recently been having some trouble with my photoshop cs2 (it isn't my computer because it is easily quicker them the majority of computer I have been on and it's only a recent problem). I can use all my tools very easily without having any little pauses and it wont crash, but with my brush tool, after using the brush for a long stroke without unclicking it crashes. Well, it pauses for 2 mins- 4 hours (wont let me click on another tool or carry on drawing or select layers and such). Since I am an artist and work on photoshop for a living , not being able to use the brush tool is a huge problem for me. I have no intension of updating my software to cs3/4/5, (as I don't want to pay for all that software and then find that it crashes again). I recently got my new bamboo graphics tablet and it is even slower when using that. This is also a very recent problem so I was wondering if anyone else had had this before and found a way around it?
Thanks!,

I actually believe there are updates for Photoshop itself, not through Mac Software Update. You should check if there are any updates for the product on this website. Photoshop also tends to glitch sometimes. For example, on PSCS4 for Mac, after opening the program, and changing the toolbar to the traditional 2-column style, the quck mask button is totally cut off unless I switch it to the 2-column style twice.

When opening Photoshop CS2, the Toolbar & Palettes are small and hard to read. Can this be fixed?

When I open Photoshop CS2, the Toolbar and Palettes are quite small and hard to read. Can I correct this and if yes, how?

You can also change the UI Font size in photoshop cs2 under Edit>Preferences>General, but that
just makes some of text bigger and not any of the icons.

How could I build my own TOOL in Photoshop CS2

How could I build my own TOOL in Photoshop CS2? Like building a new Brush tool which could draw very fancy lines in Photoshop opened images.

You can't create a tool in Photoshop, but you can in your own filter plugin (similar to extract or liquify).

CS2 is not free. The download is for existing owners of CS or CS2.

Where is the tool script on photoshop ?

Where is the tool "script" in photoshop. I had this in an old version.

I am not familiar with a Photoshop Script named "tool" so I assume this is not part of the default installation.
So you probably need to copy it into the appropriate Scripts-folder.

Where can Photoshop CS2 DUTCH be downloaded ?

Following the link http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l older versions of Adobe can be downloaded for free. This also includes Photoshop CS2 in English.
When proceeding the instructions under "How to install" and choosing for the Dutch language, I can't find the Dutch version of Adobe Photoshop CS2.
The only versions in Dutch are :
- Acrobat Standard 7.0 (Win)
- Acrobat Pro 7.0 (Win)
Could someone please point me to the downloadable exe's for Photoshop CS2 Dutch ?
Thanks in advance

Good question. Best I can find is a user group for the Netherlands. Hopefully, someone there can help.

There are International groups in the Adobe forums, but none for Dutch I am afraid

Where can I download a French version of Photoshop CS2?

Bonjour,
je souhaiterais trouver la version française de photoshop cs2
Hello,
I would find the French version of photoshop cs2

Effective December 13, Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch. These products were released over 7 years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems. But to ensure that any customers activating those old versions can continue to use their software, we issued a serial number directly to those customers. While this might be interpreted as Adobe giving away software for free, we did it to help our customers.

Where can I modify my custom brushes in Photoshop CS2?

HI all,
So I'm trying to make a custom brush. I have my brush defined from a Photoshop document. But I cannot find the settings for that brush. How can I adjust the scatter and spacing? Am I missing a menu or Settings pane?
by the way, I'm running Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Windows 7 Professional.
Thanks!

DULL colors only on Adobe photoshop CS2 after buying a new monitor

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me!
Recently I bought a new widescreen LG monitor L206WTQ - which I had plugged in and installed the drivers etc etc! The screen works fine.
I decided to open up my Adobe photoshop CS2 for the first time, to do some photoshopping (also to see what adobe would look like on my new monitor) ...and when I opened the my adobe, a error message popped up saying something like "your monitor 'LG monitor L206WTQ' is defected ... ..." - Now because I wasnt too sure what the message mean't, I just closed the message window and continued to work on adobe - which actually seemed to be running fine - only untill i relized that I could not get the true color WHITE on my color palete!
I searched google for the problem and to my amazement ... I found a forum that answered my question. The forum told me to go to CONTROL PANEL > DISPLAY > COLOR MANAGEMENT > and then once I was here, click ADD to add the AdobeRGB1998.icc file and set it as the default color profile.
I accepted these settings and opened up my Adobe to find that it WORKED ... I could get the true color white again.
BUT! ... now I have found another problem and this is where I need your help. I was searching for photographs on my computer to photoshop on Adobe and when i opened up an image on adobe ... I noticed that the color of the photo is SLIGHTLY DULL compared to the original - Almost as though Adobe made the image a little less brighter. I double clicked on the photo in my MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER, so that i could compare the image to the one on adobe and I was right ... the image did look a bit more dull on Adobe. I thought maybe it was that particular image but every photo I open up on a Adobe now, becomes slightly dull.
Strangely enough ... when I edit a photo in Adobe and save it under these "dull" conditions ... and open the edited image in my MY DOCUMENTS folder, the images color is back to normal!
Why do all my images get this 'dull' condition only when I view / open them up in adobe???
I can't find a forum that has an answer to my question and I'm just hoping one of you experts can help me out, thanks in advance!!

Dale,
Photoshop is colour managed. This means when sending RGB to the monitor it uses a profile that describes the monitor's behaviour.
In order to display colours properly it has to change the RGB values sent to that specific monitor. The device profile is a set of offset values that is typical for that one monitor.
Your current profile probably belongs to your previous monitor. Recalibrate an profile your monitor.
