Why are my photoshop preferences reverting?

Sometimes when I start up Photoshop CS6, I discover that all my preferences have reverted to defaults. I can go back and make them the way I want them but it's pretty annoying. I haven't figured out a pattern for when this happens. Any ideas?

While JJMack's method of saving a copy of (some of) your preferences files has solid merit, what I prefer to do when upgrading to a new version of Photoshop is to record an action while I go about setting all my Photoshop preferences to my liking.
If I'm forced to trash or reset my preferences at any point in time, a one click plays back the action and leaves everything exactly the way I want it.
Noel is correct in that Photoshop only saves its preferences only on an orderly exit (quit) of the program.
This Adobe tech note shows the location of all preferences files in Photoshop 13.x ("CS6"):

As you can see there are prefs files scattered all over the place.

Why are my Photoshop images interlaced?

Is that just an effect FCP throws into to make the progressive frames look like the rest of your footage, or is FCP actually interlacing my Photoshop files? I can run some tests and figure it out but if someone has a quick answer, it'd be much appreciated!

I was referring to:
"Spend some time learning what interlace means. Search it in the FCP manual, it's very good at that sort of thing.
Interlace is a very good thing - unless it's used poorly - which happens when it's misunderstood. It allows us to have very clean NTSC and PAL images with smooth movement, in very limited bandwidth."
But I'll readily admit that meaning can get misconstrued by text very easily, so no offense taken here, nor there apparently.
My initial problem was solved, but I've encountered a new one as a result.
What I'd like to is take the 1080i footage I have (six DVD set) and create a progressive video of half that size for the web (just a five minute promo). It's a bit smaller than half the source, and some scenes are cropped differently due to different needs for televisions and computer screens. I have an excellent video already working, but there are some improvements I would like to make (if it's possible).
I have two sources for the content in my video. One is the HDV camera (1080i), and the other source is the computer (Motion files, JPEGs, etc). Apart from the dissolve between the scenes, at no point is there a combination of these two sources within a frame. The scenes are neatly separated (each scene is a nested sequence).
What I want to do is deinterlace the camera footage. If I understand correctly, FCP's deinterlace filter is a line-doubler, halving the resolution but maintaining the temporal information. Because my output is half the dimensions of the source (give or take), this works perfectly for me because I'm losing that resolution anyway. Meanwhile, the scenes comprised of assets from Photoshop and the like are rendered at full resolution. To achieve this, I would think I'd deinterlace the sequences with interlaced footage, then nest the sequence in a new sequence which is smaller and without field dominance. Then, by nesting the sequences with non-interlaced assets, they are rendered at full resolution while the interlaced footage is rendered progressively because the parent sequence has been deinterlaced.
What's happening is that I MUST keep field dominance turned on in the downscaled sequence or the camera footage displays weird effects (like interlacing, but with alternating large sets of pixels rather than single pixel lines). This in turn interlaces the scenes with the computer assets, requiring me to deinterlace them as well, halving the resolution unnecessarily.
The only guess I have as to why this happens is that the deinterlace filter is being carried over to the downscaled sequence rather than already deinterlaced footage.
So, having said all that, the simple version of the question is:
How do you create a progressive video for the web from a larger interlaced version WITHOUT interlacing and then deinterlacing the portions of the video which weren't interlaced to begin with? Is it impossible to do this within a single sequence, and if so how do I combine multiple exported sequences into a single video for the web? Unfortunately I need to be able to cross dissolve from each scene to the next, so can I do that using Quicktime Pro, Compressor, or some other program?
I would show you the footage but I can't be putting links up to it on the Internet right now (not my choice).
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer and sorry we got off to a bad start.

Why are my photoshop files distorted and not the tifs?

Hi,
I've been importing tifs and photoshop files into my FCE project, and here's my problem. When I view the .psd file in my canvas viewer the still is squeezed and does not fill the entire frame with white background above and below the still. I then import the same file but resaved as a tif and it appears in the canvas frame in the correct aspect ratio. What is going on? (The image properties are 1920x1080 aspect ratio: square) This happens with all the .psd files that are imported into my FCE project. All imported tifs appear correctly.
Other info: I have started with a baseline photoshop template that is 1920x1080, aspect ratio: square. I saved the images either as a .psd file with one layer or tif with one layer. The reason for the .psd file is that I need to have some areas of transparency in my FCE project (I have overlays). Which leads to another question: If I need transparency within the still in FCE, can I save the file as a tif with "save transparency" box ticked on?
Thanks for any info!

when saving as a png should interlaced be set to none?
Also regarding the tif images...I had been saving them, as a copy and under tiff options:
image compression: none
pixel order: interleaved
layer compression: discard layers and save a copy
I assumed that this tiff file would be one layer. Am I incorrect?
And I did a test save with "save transparency" ticked on and imported the image into FCE. It appears that the transparency is there when I view the still in the canvas window. Can I do it this way? Are there disadvantages/advantages to using png files rather than tiffs?
Thanks!

Why are my Photoshop 3D options greyed out?

Is it a system issue? That's strange because I have plenty of RAM. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have upgraded my Photoshop software as well as my display card. But all the 3d options are all still greyed out. For reference is my updated system info stuff:

Why are my keyboard preferences missing when I restart?

Since switching to Mavericks, every time I restart, my keyboard input preferences are gone, replaced by Swiss German which I have never used.

Hi, I found this online as a potential solution to our problem (the last response is the one I've tried):
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/108144/mavericks-input-source-is-set-to -us-keyboard-in-login-screen
I haven't logged on yet to see if it works but all signs seem positive.

Why are the system preferences set to disallow downloading Internet content/applications?

I just purchased a refurbished iMac from the Apple Store. I am attempting to install Apache OpenOffice for Mac, but a message appears that says, "open office cannot be opened because it is from an undentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers." How and/or where do I change this setting?

I very strongly advise against disabling Gatekeeper. Doing so increases the risk that your computer will be infected with malware.
Leave the Gatekeeper setting on Mac App Store and identified developers.
If you need to install other software, see the heading "How to open an app from a unidentified developer" on this support page. The instructions apply to installer packages as well as applications.

When I close CS6 changes in settings are not saved. Reverts to default settings on reopen. Why?

Sorry Photoshop -- Problems solved -- I read the details -- turns out you need to make changes with no files open for the preferences to apply to all files.
Thanks, Al

? Why does my Photoshop PS2 open on my Mac Book Pro OS 10.6.8 Intel Core 2 Processor but not on my just purchased Mac Book Pro OS 10.7.3? On my new machine I get a message saying "You can't open Photoshop CS2 because Power PC applications are no longer supported". I don't have a Power PC on either machine and this App does run on the older machine with an Intel processor. benrusy

This is not new. The fact that Mac OS no longer supports PowerPC applications starting with OS X Lion has been known for over a year now. You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop

Help, where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop CS6

Okay, I admitt, .... I am an idiot that is new to Adobe Photoshop.
But help the new girl out, here.... Please...
Where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop Extended CS6.
I searched Adobe Help in Dutch already but they point me towards options that doesn't excist.
Maybe they were there in Adobe CS5 and I am reading an older version of the documentation...
But in CS6 I can only find the option Render and no Render Preferences...
Thanks !!

Adobe changed the way video is rendered in CS6. Adobe Media Encoder in now used in CS6 only a subset of the Adobe's full Adobe Media Encoder is included in CS6 is a dll. I do not think you can add new Rendering Presets however you can change some setting when you use the supplied Reddening Presets. Perhaps if you have the Adobe suite and have the full Adobe Media Encoder you can create some presets and add them to Photoshop Rendering presets. I seem some compliants about CS6 Quicktime rendering presets lack the power of CS5. The Rendering presets seem to be stored in sub folders in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder"

In Photoshop CC 2014, why are strokes not perfect 1px strokes as they were in the previous PS version? They are thicker/blurry on some sides!

Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?

Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?
I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.
I spent hours working on this, so please let me know what the hell happened and how I can make sure it never happens again...
also--why would CS6 come with such a devastating feature?!?! Who came up with this???

Welcome to the forum.
I did not see any reference to Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Did you use one of those?
Good luck,

"Catalog"? Are you referencing Ps Elements perhaps?
Wrong forum. We do not do Elements here.

Why are some (but not all) of my Muse slideshow widget images rotated differently than when I edited them in Photoshop CC?

I have a few dozen photographs embedded in the slideshow widget. Most of them appear exactly as I edited them in Photoshop, but several appear rotated clockwise 90 or 180 degrees. Does anyone know why this is happening, and ideally, how I can correct this problem? Thank you.

Please share the site url , also refer to this post and check if this helps :
Why are some of my images importing upside down?
Secondly , if you change the fill type then does that makes difference ?
Thanks,

Why are my RAW dng files opening in photoshop as 8 bit?

I am shootng on the canon 5 D Mark II.
On other Mark II camera bodies that I used in the past, the dng files are 16 bit. Why are mine 8 bit, and how can I change it IN CAMERA to 16 bit (I know how to convert it in photoshop,)
thanks

DNG is an Adobe standard which stands for "Digital NeGative". Adobe supports the format and have also contributed it as an open standard (free to use, they provide free DNG converters, they also state that it's "royalty free" if you were a developer and wanted to include the standard in a product, etc.)
You can find more information on it (and download Adobe's own free DNG converter software) here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.edu.html
And while it's supported by several companies even outside Adobe, it isn't adopted by Canon or Nikon -- they continue to create files in their own formats (.cr2 for Canon and .nef for Nikon).
Are you using Adobe's DNG Converter or something else?
JPEG is an 8-bit format (there is no option for anything other than 8-bit if you shoot JPEG).
CR2 (Canon RAW) is a 14-bit format on your specific camera.
If you shoot RAW and copy the CR2 files to your computer, you've got 14-bit data (there is no option on your camera to change the bit-depth.) There are options to shoot in alternate RAW formats such as S-RAW1 & S-RAW2 (don't use those if what you _really_ want is "RAW").
Canon "Digital Photo Professional" (aka "DPP") came on the media CD bundled with your camera and can open all formats that your camera can create... but 3rd party software wont necessarily support all the formats. Everyone, of course, supports JPEG. RAW is supported via RAW updates from the some vendors (e.g. Adobe provides RAW updates but usually only for their latest versions of software). The S-RAW formats are often not supported by 3rd parties.
It looks like RAW support for the 5D II was added in Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) v5.2. That was back in the days of Photoshot CS4. If you have CS4 or later (or any version of Lightroom) and you keep up with the "Adobe Camera RAW" updates then Photoshop would be able to open the Canon .CR2 files from your camera in their native format and would not need to have them converted to ".DNG" format.
Canon DPP will allow you to convert your RAW files into TIFF (which is also a non-lossy format).

Why are there two versions of Photoshop (CC

After accidentally opening two parts of the same website in DW CC and DW 2014 CC, I uninstalled the older version. Can someone tell me WHY the new version didn't overwrite the older one? I assume that it is necessary to uninstall older versions, but this should be automatic on the upgrade shouldn't it?. What is the reason for this? Kind of interested because it was unexpected.
Years ago when upgrading from CS3 we discovered that the Photoshop PDF function could no longer make PDFs with pages in newer versions CS4 and CS5 (which clients wanted) so I have kept my CS3 Photoshop pgm just for making PDFs, while running the latest version for everything else. Is it possible that Adobe depreciated some functions in this new release of CC2014 and that is the reason for both versions of CC? Just putting it out there, I don't spend my vacations in Roswell, NM or anything like that.
Thanks!
John

Adobe, why are you making things so complicated...
People pay for the cloud, so they want improvement, they want to go with the latest tools automatically.
I'm a spoiled Mac user, where Apple always overwrites old apps, which is the most user friendly solution there is.
Please do this as well, because it truly sucks to have two apps!
Could you tell me how I get rid of the old version on a user friendly way, so my documents open with the new app.
Thanks in advance.
