Hi, I can select the colour at top menu and it changes, but selecting the colour in the left side coloir picker doesnt change, I have to copy paste the hex value or write down the RGB and type these into the colour box at the top menu, then it works.   I always mix my colours using the left hand side box, so its a pain that one doesnt alter the text colours. is there a trick in migrating the mix there to the top most box that is for text colours ?   I often find I have dabbled with coliurs for my text at left, then during editing find the upper box hasnt the colour.   Merlin ...

Hi, I have just tried out the method of windows key and printscreen, repeatedly, and locating the C drive folder they go to ( I never save to C drive) I can now bring these into Pshop. So then the file>scripts>Load files into stack and browsing to the Picures on C drive, I can get a file with layers from them. then select them all and Edit>Auto Align layers. and they get combined into a single photo. Easy and it works. EXCELLENT. three stages and job done. Just a question of remembering the three steps and locations. Then remember to delete off from C drive. I only ever save to D drive normally. The key thing is windows key and printscreen allows multiple copying, the screen dips darker momentarily. No box to denote the area, just the entire screen gets copied, I am good with that.   THIS IS A GAME CHANGER FOR ME. Merlin ... View more

Hi, the websites I need to do this on, don't lend themselves to the techniques mentioned. I can get the image captured and saved in a minute, whilst saving files to a folder then opening and converting into a single file (I have yet to find a way to do that) is not as quick. I am however not wanting to lose my place whilst moving about on the photo. Sourcing its source and copying it that way, I have tried that at times and its a dead end. It has to be quick, and so copy copy copy paste paste paste, is such. Just need a clipboard manager that Photoshop works with. I was so surprised to find that Ditto shows the thumbs, and no means of pasting them. all I need is a clipboard manager like the Lsoft one, but capacity for far more copies.   Merlin3   ...

Hi, Let me clarify. I have an image on someones's webpage which when clicked on the + icon now shows a part of that image at max resolution, as I move it around I am seeing part of it at any one time, so if I can hit printscreen then move it and printscreen then move it and printscreen, etc until all is captured. (and I must not visit photoshop after each printscreen, else I lose my position where I got to on the image, ) then and only then maximise photoshop, and paste the copies one at a time into a photoshop .psd file, creating layers as such, thats what I need. Ditto doesnt allow paste, yet its a paste clipboard manager, with a thumbnail selected, Ctrl v does nothing, there is no highlight a thumbnail paste option. With the Msoft one only three images are allowed, though it says 25, its 3, and at least I can select a thumb then ctrl v and it pastes. 3 is no use , I just did 12 for one webpage image. I want to keep it simple, not end up in 2 progs, scripting and so on. Just want a clipboard manager that allows selection of thumbnail then ctrl V and it pastes into an existing .psd file, so I end  up with 12 layers. then I crop to just the picture and then use arrange layers align. and get one large image.   HTH Merlin ...

Hi, alas...no, I will try and do a test file, the real one is 3.1Gb Merlin3 ... View more

Hi,  I have just given that a go, I wasn't aware of it, selecting source (bounce flash pic) and target existing light, result is better but two tests sees a slight yellowyness still to greys etc, and the image in general, so either its impossible else ? Both taken same viewpoint with tripod, one is flash bounced off a white surface, the other existing light in the room. I have others with Q13 cards so more experimenting, if I could use a pipette thing and pick areas to be source and target, that might do it. Such a task is fundamental for me, and I had hoped Pshop did so.   DBenz ... View more

Hi, No I haven't and now I try that and BINGO !   FANTASTIC !   all these years of fiddling about aligning and nudging, and could have done that.   Wish I had thought to ask.   MANY THANKS INDEED. hope others also find this a life changer.   Merlin3 ... View more

Hi, Thanks for the script, I googled how to use a script, saved it as a .jsx, file> scripts browse to script ran it, entered 39 to search for, and waited, GPU fan increased, waited 2 mins. nothing happened, photoshop had frozen, so end task. relaunch Pshop. try for a word, same problem, third time try *handrail* get syntax error, so unable to get it to work.   DBenz ...

This is just nuts, paint can open a jpg via WhatsApp when the most expensive photo editor cannot. If Adobe were to bother to fix this FUNDAMENTAL issue rather than messa bout with tweaks we dont need, they would have it in the next version of Pshop, make us all upgrade and pay more money per month, so its hopeless waiting for Adobe to do this. I am CS6 and refuse to pay per month, I dont have the money to do so anyway, I own my possessions ! never rent anything. and have been sent images via whatsapp which refuse to open, even if called.heic or .tiff none of that works. Adobe will never back fix an issue so I will never get a fix for .CS6 even if they do ever solve this, which they wont. Why wont they,...has anyone asked them ?   Meanwhile the mspaint is the eaasiest fix. unles someone has a plugin for CS6. also could do wiuth one for .webp images, again another pain in the butt.   Merlin ...

and a further reply, Jane. I wish folk to test the use of Msoft print to pdf, as I know that ends up with this see through grid, as does PDF24, my normal pdf maker, editor and all round good prog, I also like the sheep character ! I am told by my CAD developer that Msoft print to pdf when chosen in the printer list works well with the CAD prog, so again reason to try it out. yes Adobe also have a pdf maker but the PDF24 worked fine, and Msoft print to pdf they say works fine, so why the see throuigh grid when pdf opened into pshop CS6 or CC and why the grid if Pshop itself prints the pdf ? Merlin3 ... View more

a further Hi, whats up with this forum, I can't find an edit button and my reply has ended up within the last post it seems ? Just to reiterate, I open my pdf's created in CAD for checking all looks ok and my colours are ok especially for my grey lines deliberate half inch grid and that my dimensionsare not too small, when printing a bit of the pdf to my A4 printer, , and I am not needing a pdf from Pshop, but needing to get rid of Pshop adding in this see through grid.   Merlin3 ...

Hi, My need is NOT to see a see though grid, and simply flattening the image will cause a white grid to appear, as flatten by default adds in a white background, or show through whatever colour background there is. I dont want a grid of any kind. How do I stop photoshop showing a grid made of no colour ?   In win7 it was without grid. Now with win 10 its with grid, be that CS6 or CC.   I was creating a pdf from my CAD prog, as I have done many times, but as I am now with win10, I see a grid (showing through the chequerboard ) for the first time, and I need that as much as a hole in the head ! Contacting a friend and trying his win10 Pshop CC , making a pdf from within CC, as he doesnt have CAD, he also sees a grid when opening the result back into pshop CC win10.   Its not visible in acrobat reader, so why is Pshop creating a see through grid ? This never happened in win7. Try this yourselves, A3 landscape 200dpi solid colour, PDF24 if you have that, you all will have Msoft print to pdf in the printer options. A3 100% landscape. Vital to know what to disable in Pshop to stop this grid making. Note its not a coloured pixel line, its a series of lines chopped out of the image, its see through !   On my A3 they were ' 1 3/8inch' spacing.   Merlin3 ... View more

Hi, well just looking at Helvetica, and I had at my disposal:- Helvetica Helvetica Italic Helvetica Bold Helvetica Bold Italic Helvetica Light Helvetica Light Italic Helvetica Condensed Helvetica Condensed Italic   thats 8 and the link shows they are from £42.99 each so thats at least £343, or a set of 30 is £439 Consider that I also was using Univers, Futura, Goudy , Cloister Black and a few more, thats going to cost a few thousand pounds, As the rebuild to win10 from win7 retaining case and psu and fans cost 1300 hardware, 400 labour and 900 SSD's leaving me peniless, and this is NOT for paid work, a further £2K is simply impossible, having gone without groceries last week as I have no money for them.  As for the 175 pairs of .pfb and .pfm in my win7 fonts folder, they will remain unreplaced . In fact nothing will get purchased. Somehow I must get hold of Helvetica for free or go over to using Arial. I only ended up using Helvetica as Photoshop has it there in the fonts list from the last file worked on and it uses it again without any prompt for the next file.   Having installed Helvetica-Bold.ttf from a friend/PC support for my PC, he is with windows , I see only an entry called Helvetica True Type in Photoshop, the BOLD option isnt there. I open my pshop file and instead of declaring missing Helvetica Bold it again says 'some text layers might need to be updated' but if I go No and select text instead of showing the wording Helvetica Bold is missing , it now says 'editing or rendering the text layer will cause its layout to change' and in the font drop down its showing TT Helvetica, now why doesnt it just let me at the file, as it appears its used Helvetica TT and not the Type 1 that is also in that list. Is this in fact windows 10 yet again messing about ? If I elect to choose Update as opposed to 'No' when I first open the file, then highlighting the text shows it as TT Helvetica, and no warnings occur about edit and rendering. That I installed Helvetica-Bold TT and the list shows it as Helvetica when I dont have Helvetica TT installed is now baffling and concerning. The font I have on screen is Helvetica Bold yet in Photoshop the Bold style in the window is greyed out. Thus its telling me its not bold when it is, and in the fonts folder it is called Helvetica Bold True Type. I am almost there as such, but bold is greyed out and its a bold font. this us unnerving and wrong.   I feel I am almost there, else.... I will have to alter all the text to Arial when I open something and it says missing fonts. Cloister Black is a favourite and others dont have the characters it gives, so that will remain as Type 1. I am not buying it ! I just cannot justify thousands of pounds on just fonts and going without food and heating when I have things I need and I am unable to afford them, some are urgently wanted, when not buying any fonts for the last 20 years or so. I hate having to spend 3 months of my life doing nothing creative but rebuild PC to win10 and install 130 progs, a number with hundreds of settings, when win7 was fine for actual work.   I hate Msoft. what the heck was wrong with Type 1 fonts, they worked !!!!   Merlin ...
