I am using Photoshop 24.2.0 and printing fails. The image comes out too big or too small even when I click the fit to page button. Gimp prints the image just fine. Back to using Gimp for everything now. Major defecgt in Photoshop. ... View more

Now I am having a new problem in saving the images. The saved image is transparent in the white areas. This did not occur before. My illustrations are useless if they have transparent areas. Other images in the Photoshop stack show through the transparent parts. How do I turn off transparency when saving the image, or turn it off in the Illustrator desktop when the EPS file is open? This software is much too complicated. There are too many features, with the result being that there is a too high chance that something will go wrong in use. I want to turn off everything but just the few features that I use. I would like to re-install an older version that was simpler and worked much, much better. No uploading of new versions. ...

It worked, but the steps are not exactly as you said. I selected the art, changed the H and W to 1200 pixels. Instead of Export it had to be Export Selection. I selected Artboard, and as a PNG. There is no option for TIF. Then I changed the destination to the folder where I wanted it to go and selected Export Artboard. But, anyway, it then worked perfectly. I checked the exported artboard PNG and it was 1200 px by 1200 px. That is easly converted to TIF or JPG. Thank you very much.   If I tried to use Export instead of Export Selection, I was only presented with a folder where it would have gone, and I could choose TIF, but that was the same as the problem I had yesterday, no solution. There was no menu to select 72 dpi. But, using the method I outlined above, it was not necessary to choose any dpi number. ... View more

I finally found a menu to change to 72 ppi, but this is what the image looked like. The image was in the bottom left corner of the artboard with the rest of the artboard being white.   Whoops, cannot paste in an image. It ended up smaller than the 1000 x 1000 pixel size I entered into the W and H boxes.   Fortunately just using a screen shot of the image increased to full screen using the ctrl + buttons gives me something reasonable to paste into my photo software (Photoshop does not let me paste a screen shot so I use something else). But trying to scale the image in Illustrator has failed miserably. Horrid user friendliness. I am trying Affinity Designer now to see if I can scale images there and get what I want at Export. If it works, adios Adobe subscription. Affinity Photo is a good substitute for Photoshop. Both are about $25 each right now. ... View more

I cannot find any menu to set the 72 ppi. When I click export there is no menu to set it. Where (exactly) is the menu to set the ppi in the export? ... View more

I finally located the PSB option. There is a serious defect in the PSD programming though. I had a PSD file that is 1.2 GB in size. I opened it and added one TIF image that was 58 MB in size, then tried to save the PSD file. I got an error message that the file was larger than 2 GB and could not be saved. Something is very, very wrong here. The added image was not 800 MB. It was 58 MB. Adding 58 MB to the 1.2 GB PSD caused it to give the error message that the PSD file was larger than 2 GB. So, you guys need to overhaul the PSD saving process. It is horribly defective. ... View more

I agree, it's trash. There is no psb file extension option in the menu when I try to save my larger than 2GB psd file. What kind of garbage programming is this? Looking for new software option now, and preparing to cancel my Adobe subscription. The file size should be unlimited. So disappointed. Adios Adobe. ... View more

The file name is John. There is no file extension (doc, pdf, etc.). A search for John yields thousands of results since my name is John. So, I have to live with a screwed up error that pops up every time I boot Windows. Time to look at an Apple computer. ... View more

To elie_di Again you misinterpret. I am not talking about closing an image. I am talking about closing a catalog. I opened a catalog, shown below: Then, I went to File, Import Photos and Video: I browsed to the folder that I wanted to add photos to the open catalog, and all the photos in the open catalog at the bottom horizontal photo bar disappeared. Only the new photos from the folder where I wanted to import photos from were visible. No photos from the open catalog. I selected Import and only the photos from the new folder were now visible. None of the photos from the originally open catalog were visible in the horizontal photo bar at the bottom. So, the active catalog's original array of photos were gone. I now find that I had to re-create the original catalog because the new photos were the only ones in the original catalog. None of the original photos were there. They had been deleted when I imported photos to the original catalog. I discovered this when I exited Lightroom, rebooted it, and opened the lrcat catalog in the original directory where it had been located. None of the original photos were in that catalog now. Only the new ones. You are correct about the very weak thinking, but wrong about who it refers to. There needs to be a new term in the world of programs: garbageware. ... View more

You were careless in reading my question. I did not say where is the Exit function. I said where is the Close function. Both programs have an Exit function. That exits the program. The Close function closes the photo file I am working on but does not exit the program. I can then open another photo file. There is no Close function in Lightroom. Exit closes the Lightroom program. I don't want to Exit. I want to close the Catalog I am working on and open another one. This is inconsistency between the two programs, Photoshop and Lightroom. Not good. I know how to Import photos, but that closes the Catalog that is open and creates a new Catalog. I just want to add images to an existing Catalog that is open. "Synchronize Folder" is a stupid title for a function of adding images. It should say "Add Images to the Catalog that is Open". Lastly, under Library, take a look at the menu, shown below. The Synchronize Folder function is grayed out. So, I cannot use the Synchronize Folder function. Lightroom works well when one can figure out where the functions are, but user friendliness is lousy. Very weak programming. ... View more

Although the waveform was visible at the top of the screen, it was not visible in the part of the screen where it says, "Where is the waveform?" It only became visible there after I reinstalled the software (see the screenshots above). The problem is not an issue now. If the workspace ever becomes congested, I will just do the same thing: trash the program and reinstall it. This works perfectly. You need to add a button that says, "Default workspace". That will clear the congestion. ... View more

I trashed the program and reinstalled it, and said no to any import of previous preferences. So, basically, I started over with a new install. Now, everything is fine. The waveform at 15 Hz shows up (see first screenshot below), but the frequency still does not show up in the bottom right where it should be shown. However, it is shown at the upper left if I label the track as being 15 Hz (second photo below). I am really surprised this is so difficult. ... View more

Can I just trash the Audition program and reinstall it? ... View more

Neither of your suggestions worked. I created another track at 1 kHz. Here is what the screen looks like now. Still no waveform in the track and still no frequency listed. Even at 15 Hz, the waveform was visible, but clicking on something I don't remember made the waveform disappear. So, I still have the problem. I tried Audacity, but that software is even worse. How do I make a complete reset to factory install defaults and start over? ... View more
