Color problem hard to explain see screencap

dakkafex — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:09:28 GMT

Hello,

i'm having a major problem lately, using the paintbrush, or anything that adds something of color to my image has is just black with a jagged outline of the color it is supposed to be, only a few colors seem to work normal.

Setting the image mode to 32 bit makes all the colors come trough normally, but 16 and 8 it stays black.

I cant find out why this is happening...or could it because of the filetype? .tga

"Create Rectangle" By Entering Dimensions Not Working

bathunter — Wed, 15 May 2013 00:11:14 GMT

When I use the rectangle tool to just click once on the canvas and then enter the dimensions of the rectangle I want, the resulting rectangle is WAY smaller than it should be. Like microscopic. It will have the same proportions as I entered but for example, a 100 x 100 pixel rectangle(when I enter those dimension) will turn out to be like 5 x 5 pixels.

Any idea why?
I just installed PS on my new computer which is Windows 8.

Will thank for answers
Sean

Photoshop disk scratch are full. PSB file 232MB in size.

risingvendetta — Fri, 10 May 2013 04:50:10 GMT

Hi,

I was working on a project that had a document space of 2x6. I moved an item REAAALLLYYYY far away. I kept enlarging the document area (Image/Canvas Size/) until I saw where the damn item was. I moved the document space to a whooping 200x200 inches. lol. I know that sounds really stupid to do. But I had no idea where it was, so I encreased the canvas size till I found it.

I found it at the VERRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYY edge of the 200x200" document.

I moved it back and tried shrinking the document back to 2.6 then had the error message disk scratch are full.

Whenever I try to open it says disk scratch are full.
C Drive have 459GB Free.
I've already deleted all temp files content by going to search, keyword %temp% and deleted all that appeared.

how can I open up the file and change the document size back to normal? I just want to open the file and shrink the canvas size back to normal.

Ram is 8gb and the file size is 232MB, not large, just that the canvas size is 200x200.

Thanks.

I mean, the item I had to move was at the very edge of 200x200inches. lol

'Fill Path' in PS CS6

JoHubb — Thu, 09 May 2013 14:37:10 GMT

Hello, thanks for having me on these boards.

I am trying to fill the inside of a path with foreground (dark green) colour. No matter what I do, instead of filling the path, CS6 fills the area outside the path! Frustrating would be an understatement! (see attached)

I must have missed something obvious, but what? I followed Adobe's instructions exactly but perhaps during previous work I changed some default setting.

I'd be grateful for advice.

John

Copy and pasting from PDF

John_H — Tue, 07 May 2013 13:56:35 GMT

Hi,

I apologise in advance if this is the wrong forum for this question.

When I cut and paste from PDF into Photoshop there is sometimes a partial black "keyline" around the image. By partial I mean it can appear on one or more edges of the photo/artwork, or even not at all, it seems to be quite random. These lines are not desirable and, up until now, I have simply been cropping the image, but this can be quite a tedious task.

My question is: can these black lines be got rid of without the need to use the crop tool?

Thanks in advance.

John.

Photoshop Print Colour Major Issues

ratboyab — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:20:11 GMT

Hi all,

I recently purchased a new printer (a Brother MFC-J5910DW all-in-one wireless A3 I believe) and when I print from Photoshop, the colours / image comes out awful and I mean that bad that I spent a long time playing with cleaning the ink cartridges on the printer as I thought it was a blocked cartrdige. It was only after I printed directly from the windows explorer that I discovered it was Photoshop that was the issue.

I tried playing around with the colour management (between "printer manages colour" & "photoshop manages colours" and played with the individual settings. I also tried playing with the colour settings through "Edit>Colour Settings" & tried a few different options in there and it seemed to make no difference. I tried saving the PSD as a JPEG and re-opening then printing and again no difference. I also tried opening the same JPEG in Serif Photoplus and that printed perfectly.

I've seen a lot of disscussions about prints not matching screen colours which I understand but haven't found anything like this. The images below demonstrate what I am referring to, they are scans of the prints. Excuse the bits of writing / print on the images, these were test copies just done at low quality on pre-used paper just to make sure my mother was happy with the layout (I did also try printing in high quality aswell and his made no difference).

Copy and pasting across layers in CS2

kevb8ll — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:20:38 GMT

I hope one of you experts can help me, I am pulling my hair out here!!

I have created a layered image made up of a background, text box and 2 images all in different layers. I need to reduce the size of one image, so I selected the layer, selected the image, copied and pasted to a new clipboard image. The idea was to re-size and then copy back.

The problem is, when I paste onto the transparent area, it just goes white.

If I paste as a new layer onto my original image, it only pastes a "ghost" version in red. I have tried re-booting but pasting has just stopped working.

The other thing I have notice, which I am sure is connected, when I paste to a new image, the colour version is "greyscale." I have tried changing it to rgb, but that doesn't fix it either and anyway reverts back to greyscale with the next new one.

So

1. Why are my new images set to greyscale and how do I make rgb default again.
2. Why when I copy and paste, does it paste either in white or a red ghost?

Refine edge problem in CS6

RoyFraser — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 12:43:00 GMT

Hi

I've been successfully cutting out portraits from a white background and placing them in a layout design but each of the cut outs has a very thin white line showing that is from the edged of the original image. I can use a mask brush to paint this out but when we save the cut out with the lines deleted, they still are there when we reopen the template at a later time! Am I missing something from refine edge's preferences? I work in the schools market and have lots of cut outs to do. Help.?????

Can someone help me out? :)

I'm using pen tool and clicked A+ENTER to deselect

simonselvfed — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 14:58:47 GMT

Now I need to fatten those lines/paths I deselected and I don't know how to... I just need to make the line a few pixels wider and it's driving me nuts. I have already traced my own work several times, but I'm sick of it and can't seem to hit that perfect line width without that particular function... And typical of photoshop, it's impossible to know what to google... And believe me I tried.

I have a feeling that I permanently deselected/deleted those paths, but how would I possibly know? It's not like photoshop makes sense.

File won't print in Photoshop, but will in Illustrator

Rahneo — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 22:41:22 GMT

All of a sudden, when I press "Print" in Photoshop the document isn't sent to my Epson 3880 printer.
I am able to print the same doc in Illustrator. I've trashed my Epson driver and have re-installed, have quit Photoshop and re-opened. Any ideas?

PS CS6 -QuickMask has stopped working=need answer

ALB68 — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 23:41:07 GMT

Hi Gurus,
CS6 Quickmask is driving me batty (if not already). I use this function a lot and out of a clear blue sky it has decided not to work. Here is what I know and the action I have taken so far with no results.
It behaves like this. I can activate it by its' icon or by entering Q. Shows as in Quickmask mode. Then when I start to paint on the mask, I am not getting the usual 100% opacity red color for it. It is about 50%. I paint this on and then click the icon again to activate the mask. It activates but it selects the whole layer! not what I brushed on.

I know that the foreground color has to be set to white and is. When it is activated white turns to grey as normal.
I know that the brush opacity settings and flow need to be 100% and are.
I have tried changing the options in the mask preferences pop up window..nothing works to solve this. I also deleted the old preferences folder prior but it still did the same thing.

I have even completely uninstalled PS and re-installed it. I have no 3rd party plug-ins in the Plugins folder, I removed them prior to the new install process and tested to see if that was the problem. No joy.
Anybody got any idea what may be happening here with this? Thanks in advance for your help.
