Hi Mike, Smart objects are quite confusing things. When you have a smart object you have a software based container which internally through code points towards the original source file from your Olympus camera. If you have ever done any programming it's a little like an object that is an instance of a class. If you try to 'save' a smart object, Photoshop will prompt you for a name, file type and location for the image file and so you will not overwrite your original file. You can always access your original image by double clicking the smart object in the layers panel. You can of course avoid loading a smart object, in which case you will see your file suffix on the tab. This is a photo from a Canon camera and you can see the .CR2 suffix. If you attempt to 'save' you'll get a prompt and need to assign a file type. This is because all digital cameras have a proprietary raw format and Photoshop doesn't know how to create those file formats like CR2, NEF etc The exception to this is if you use digital negative format ,dng which is generic to all digital cameras. To avoid loading you image as a smart object so you can see the file suffix like above, you need to make sure Camera Raw is setup like below. I'm not a Lightroom specialist but there must be something similar in Lightroom to this. At the very bottom in Camera Raw click the marked link and a window pops up. You must make sure the box 'Open in Photoshop as Smart Objects' is not checked If you look at the bottom right corner of the Camera Raw dialog box with the box unchecked it will look like this If you have the box checked to export as a camera raw smart object it will look like this You can do the same thing on the fly  and not touch the checkbox by holding down the 'shift' key and it toggles between 'Open Image' and 'Open Object'. However I would advise using the checkbox method due to a bug. If you export to Photoshop as a smart object as expected it will not include a suffix, but when you switch back to 'Open Image' it still exports to Photoshop without the suffix. To get it to behave properly again you need to close down Photoshop and reopen. As long as 'Open Image' is used you will get the suffix, but the bug will come into play if you flip between the two options and jump in and out of Photoshop. Hope that helps Terri ... View more

image/Tiff is what is called the 'Mime type' It's an old classification and a little before my time. Below is a definition from Google. What image/tiff means is the file is Tiff like , not surprising as psd files probably have a Tiff based origin. It doesn't mean your file extension will be Tiff Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions or MIME types are an Internet standard that are used to describe the contents of various files. MIME types identify Internet files based on their nature and format. Terri ... View more

I think your problem is that you are working on a smart object or a camera raw smart object. Smart objects are not file types but containers for file types and as such have no file suffix or path. They therefore do not have a path in 'Finder'. Of course if you open the smart object it will have a file type and have a definite path. If you take your image without a suffix and save it as a psd then you should find the tab in Photoshop says .Psd and that there is a path and the file contains your smart object. ... View more

Hey thanks Charles I just learned something new. I tried your right click method and I got a completely different menu with Duplicate, Image Size, Canvas Size and File Info. As you can see, I prefer having floating windows rather than consolidated tabs so I tried 'consolidating all to tabs' at which point I get your menu. In other words the menu is dependent on whether you use floating windows or not. I'm always forgetting where Duplicate is on the Photoshop menu bar and it has no default keyboard shortcut. Easy access to File Info, Image and Canvas Size is also much more convenient. ... View more

Hi Frank, I thought the cost of a Premiere subscription may have been a limiting factor and I fully agree for low volume video production it cannot be justified. All I can say is you get what you pay for. Video in Photoshop in my opinion is a bolt on that Adobe can provide inexpensively as they have a major team of engineers working on Premiere and so can port a subset of it's features to Photoshop without great cost and yet at the same time  enhance Photoshop's appeal in a positive way. Like you I'm not a videographer just using my trusty Canon but am a bit lucky as ACPs do have access to Premiere and After Effects which makes us lucky. Terri ... View more

Don't you think your are over reacting a tad Mark?  "I hate you, Adobe.  HATE you." is rather pathetic to be honest over something so trivial. I've used Photoshop for 20 years and never had a crash with any of the selection tools and as an ACP here can't recall an OP having a problem making selections that couldn't be traced back to a hardware or driver issue. As JJ said the 'No pixels are more than 50% selected' message is there by design and is not a bug. The marching ants display is never, ever a true representation of exactly what is selected, it is just a guide. The message you are seeing is just telling you that you have a selection made even though it cannot be rendered to the screen and certainly to advanced users we need to know that. Terri ...

Kyle clearly has a financial arrangement now with Adobe to provide brushes exclusively for Creative Cloud. His website makes it crystal clear that support for non CC versions is only available via forums . What is surprising is that no effort has been made to prevent these brushes from being downloaded and installed by non-creative cloud subscribers. One can only assume that Kyle and Adobe don't mind owners of earlier versions of Photoshop benefiting from these brushes but on a strictly try it and see if it works basis without the benefit of technical support. Dave was correct to lock your thread Dereck as you are simply repeating the same complaint over 5 different threads which is a waste of bandwidth and to add insult to injury you are complaining as a non subscriber that brushes you are not supposed to be downloading in the first place should be supported so you can use them. I admire your cheek but five threads is enough on this topic. Terri ... View more

ok I was wondering if it was just the shortcuts to the apps that did not get installed. Well Acrobat Reader is definitely not a 3GB program and so you must have the CS3 suite. Let's try decompressing the .7z archive in a different way. Below is a link to the free de-archiver for .7z files. Download the 64 bit version for Windows and run it on the 3GB .7z file. Don't run the executable files from Adobe as they shouldn't be needed. The utility is incredibly easy to use and should expand that 3GB file you have into a folder. Now hopefully you will find a file inside the archive folder called setup.exe. Right click that file a select 'Run as Administrator' and the installer should start. If you know how it would be even better to run setup.exe in Windows 10 Safe Mode https://www.7-zip.org/ ... View more

Sorry if it offended you but I was being honest. For example what difference does it make where the temp files go as long as they are cleaned up? Also, If you had looked at the system requirements you'd already know how much disk space is needed and would know if your disk had enough free space. You may have a point about not being able to choose which drive it installs on easily, but if you really must install on your H: drive there are ways of doing that as well as Ged has shown. For most people Photoshop installs seamlessly so the installer cannot be that bad. In those cases where things go wrong it's usually due to an idiosyncratic system configuration-not anyone's fault but it would confuse any installer. ... View more

With your amount of computer knowledge, I would suggest you avoid professional applications and stick with those designed for the home retail market. If you install something totally oblivious to system requirements then you are asking for trouble , complex software is not for you I'm afraid. ... View more

you only needed the 64 bit version. 32 bit versions are limited to using 4GB of memory, so if you have 8GB which is entry level these days you would not be able to address all the memory.

If you want to try just replacement installation media. These are trials but can be made full with a serial https://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html It's a 3GB download but as I said above probably will not activate. So try the above first. Terri ... View more

Sounds as if your installation media is either corrupt or possibly just needs to be cleaned with a damp cloth, but I have a horrible feeling that even if you get it installed it will not activate because the server has been shut down. Do you know about this? If not take a look at this web page Download Adobe Creative Suite 3 products Adobe has made fresh versions of all it's CS3 applications so they do not need activation. To be honest I've never had the CS3 Master Suite but the procedure for the individual apps is to download the 'new' no activation version and use a newly issued serial number. You get the new serial from the page linked above by entering in your existing serial and then a download link to the app is providing-I can't test this as I don't have a serial but it's possible you will be able to download CS3 MS as a complete suite! I'm fairly sure Master Suites used just one serial rather than separate ones for each application and a MS serial doesn't work with a stand alone app so it would make sense for Adobe to provide a separate installer for the Master Suite, but you'll only find out by trying the link above.

When you capture images from phones and even web pages they are only approximately in the sRGB color space so if you are not getting accurate Hex values it's not surprising. There are a few things you could try , as mentioned 'point sample' or you'll get an averaged value. Be aware Hex values change in different color spaces-I think I'm right in saying, but Dag will correct me if I'm wrong. Also try this: Set Photoshop up like this with 'Web Color Sliders' showing. Put a web page side by side with Photoshop on the screen on the same monitor. Choose the 'Eyedropper Tool' and hold down the mouse button, drag the mouse across to the adjacent browser window and you'll see Photoshop is sampling colors in the browser window in Hex. You can in fact sample any screen color from within Photoshop. If you look at the code for the webpage it should agree with the value in the Photoshop color palette for simple things like text and banners but there will be variations in continuous tone images. Afraid I can't give you a way of doing this for a phone. Terri ... View more
