PNG is only available when the document is RGB or Gray, and is 8 or 16 bits per channel. Maybe you've been creating CMYK documents. CMYK docs can be saved to JPEG. JPEG supports 8 bpc only. If your doc is 16 bpc then Ps CS6 will do an on-the-fly conversion from 16 to 8 bpc when saving to JPEG but earlier versions of Ps require you to first convert 16 to 8 bpc for JPEG to become available. The SuperPNG plug-in should be put in folder: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins/ Optional Adobe plug-ins which can be downloaded separately from the Photoshop installer should be put in there, too.

Chris may be correct that there is a bug in the OS and not Ps CS6, but what he doesn't tell you is that something being done by Ps CS6 triggers that bug. A solution would be for Ps CS6 not to do that something since Ps CS5 didn't do the something.

Before troubleshooting further, update Photoshop - you have the 13.0 release of a year ago. If a perpetual licence then you should be running 13.0.1.1 for Windows (which appears as 13.0.1 in the Ps System Info). If a CC subscription, 13.1.2. Try Photoshop's 'Help > Updates...' command.

Now that he knows that it's "lying" about being a $699 option to buy, clicking makes sense. That's not a lie. Photoshop CS6 can be bought for $699.

Hint, there are about a DOZEN Photoshop products (or at least there were). I hardly think that the difference between a full purchase and an upgrade is analogous to the differences amongst "about a DOZEN" products.

I agree about the Web design being poor. However, what possible harm could come from exploring the "Buy" link to see if an upgrade is an option?

Again, you seem to be afraid to click links. Click "Buy" then you can buy an upgrade.

Many of Photoshop's filters are about 20 years old and in dire need of being updated/replaced with ones which work with bit-depths greater than 8.

Trevor, if you draw all the squares of a checkerboard then do 'Edit > Define Pattern...', the pattern definer will cleverly discard almost all your work and make an optimal tile containing only the repeating element of 2 squares x 2 squares. You get the same tile for far less work by doing what Noel said - define only a 2 squares x 2 squares pattern tile and do a Fill or make a Pattern Fill Layer with it.

Here's another way. Press M for Rectangular Marquee Tool and select a strip of gradient above "INNLAND". Press Cmd+T for Free Transform and stretch downwards to cover the type. Do the same procedure to cover the "A".

As I already said, Video Card Memory: 256 MB
Ps 13.1.2 is programmed to not enable 3D when VRAM is less than 512 MB.
In case you want to try 13.0.1, it allows me to use 3D with 256 MB although 512 MB is the stated requirement.

daffodilian wrote: I mentioned I have Timeline which means I have CS6 Yep, I noticed and deleted my sentence about you still not stating which version of Ps. I actually figured out how to add a static background layer to an animated GIF, but this is probably not the optimal method. I just place the image I want and then go to Layer --> Create Background From Layer and then it gets applied across all the other frames. That's as good a way as any and will work when the Timeline is in Frame Animation mode if the option "New Layers Visible in All Frames" is enabled. I'm now suspecting that you have the Timeline in Video mode, though, because... I did open the GIF as you instructed and then pasted the static image in as you instructed, but the options you said to select didn't appear in the Timeline menu. Any idea why? The menu items I mentioned should be in the Timeline panel menu if the Timeline is in Frame Animation mode, as it should be when a GIF has been opened. If the Timeline is in Video mode, such as when a video file has been opened, then the panel menu is different and doesn't contain the items I mentioned. Were you opening an actual GIF, i.e. a file with .gif extension, or a video file which you've been referring to as a GIF for some reason?

You should have one layer per frame of the animation regardless of where the GIF was created. Are you opening the GIF, as I instructed, or are you using Place command or dragging it into an already open document?

You don't say which version of Ps. Here's a way to do it in CS6: Open the animated GIF into Photoshop. You'll have a document with one layer per frame. Place/paste/drag the desired background image, move it to the bottom of the stack and if it's bigger than the GIF then do Image > Reveal All. Optionally convert it to an actual Background layer. Ensure the bottom layer is still targeted then, in the Timeline (animation) panel's menu, pick Match Layers Across Frames and click OK. Now the bottom layer will be displayed behind each frame. Edit: There is an option named "New Layers Visible in All Frames" in the Timeline panel. If that's enabled before you put the background into the animation document then the background will be automatically made to appear behind each frame.

JJ, I've never said that you intended to mislead or misinform. I pointed out a mistake by you and the irony of you accusing Corel of misleading people. Clearly, you are oversensitive to criticism: your talk of crime and guilt seems rather melodramatic. Anyway, you eventually admit to your mistake, which can't have been easy for you. Well done!

JJ, don't try your changing-the-subject tactic. I wrote nothing about quality of support from Corel. I explicitly and clearly stated what was wrong with your post about PSP scripting. In response to you wrongly claiming that PSP claimed to provide scripting but only provided the equivalent of Photoshop Actions, I wrote: "Incredible! Misleading, you say! It's your description of PSP scripting that's extremely misleading. Yes, you can record a script like recording a Ps Action but that's far from being the limit of PSP scripting. PSP scripting employs the Python language and an API is provided, making it similar to Ps scripting with JavaScript." And now you are trying to blame Corel for your posting misinformation in this forum. How come Corel didn't mislead me into thinking that their product is less capable than it is?

It may be a non-starter for numerous reasons for many people but not for the reason that was wrongly claimed by JJ. All I was saying was that PSP provides Python scripting and not just macro recording.

While Paintshop Pro Ultimate list scripting as one of its features their idea of scripting is more like Photoshop Action feature. Scripting is programming and can use logic.

It does sound like an orphaned auto-recovery file. Next time it opens, right-click on the document tab and pick Reveal in Finder. Close Photoshop, trash the file then relaunch Photoshop to find the pest has gone.

Riley, I'm not surprised by the confusion because the Append File Extensions preference doesn't actually determine whether an extension will be created when the file is written. It only determines whether an extension will be appended to the filename in the Save As dialog when the dialog is opened or when a file format is picked in the dialog. An extension is only appended to the actual file if it is explicitly stated in the filename field of the Save As dialog at the moment when the dialog's Save button is pressed. This is a peculiarity of Photoshop. Other applications will sensibly append a standard extension, whether hidden or visible, for a file format when the extension is omitted in the filename of a Save As dialog. I guess you are removing the extension when editing the filename. The solution seems simple: do not remove the extension when editing the filename.
