How To Save Corrupted Psd File?

Hello All-

I don't understand how to go back & forth between ACR and PS with Raw (Nef) files. From ACR (after basic edits) I open to PS as "smart objects" having saved the last ACR settings before so, as a "snapshop" in ACR. This 1st snapshot is always available to the end. Once in PS I create a new Levels adjustment layer (for color correction) then return to ACR for further edits. After my final edits in ACR I take a snapshot. I now hit the OK button to return to PS for any final edits and "Save As" from there.

It doesn't matter if layers are merged or flattened before the save to Tif from PS, but when I go back into ACR I don't have a snapshot of the last edits I made within ACR, only the very first snapshot of the basics.

Why can't I save my last edits from ACR as snapshots within ACR before going to PS to save?

I would like to toggle between the two programs and save the edits in ACR snapshots within the original Raw file, yet be able to access the first snapshot that is the untouched raw file. I would like to do the edits, keep them, and retain an original raw file. I don't see how to do it going between ACR & PS.

This was a horribly confusing question to write, I did my best to explain it. Thanks for any suggestions at all....

Robes-

Is there a way to copy layers from one Photoshop document to another? I was working on a project earlier on that required this but I didn't know how this could have been done. (Procedure not as simple as Illustrator, where a simple Ctrl | Cmd + C and Ctrl | Cmd + V would work.)

Just done a substantial amount of work on a particular project which called for a PDF file.
No probs...File > Save As > Sweet as...
Back to original PSD file...

Save...

Why is photoshop saving as PDF?
Save As...(PSD)
Bam!
All Layers gone.
One flattened PSD file.
Thanks Adobe....NOT!

I read the warning about saving as PDF too......it said it CAN change the Save As settings in the Save As dialog...
...Didn't say it bloody well would!

Why does it do that? Why change the settings? Just what is Adobe on? Can I have some? Please.

Lesson learnt on that one....but what a stoooooopid thing to do!

Hallo everybody,
following a tut about Photoshop compositing, I have to create a fake shadow on the ground. I make it pretty good (see image 1) using tre different layer copy with different blendings mode and Opacity.




But when i Merge three layer i loose my semitransparent shadow...it becomes completely black, at the starting point...
(see image 2)



What it wrong?

And than, if I want to blur the (unique) faked shadow layer, how can i male it without blurring all layers of the document? I try to use an empty layer as a Clipping mask, and I applied blur to it, without results...
please help!

Thx!

Hi folks, newbie to the board. I'm using Photoshop CS6 and have hit an issue that I can't get to the bottom of and was hoping someone could help.

I've completed an image for a client. The original involves many layers, and I have got to the point when I want to merge everything down into a PDF for them to send to their printers.

Problem I am having is that when I try to directly save as a PDF or merge down the layers in a copy of my main PSD file, I am losing certain layer styles.

I have tried creating a blank layer below an offending layer and hitting CTRL + E, I have tried creating a blank layer, hiding all but the offending layer and blank layer and merging visible, I have tried Layer - Rasterize Layer Style, I have tried turning the layer into a smart object and then rasterizing (I lost the layer style as soon as I turned it into a smart object, even though it is still present in the smart object itself), and I have tried turning the layer into a group and merging the group. I have also tried saving the file in a number of different formats to no avail. I don't know what else I can try and why none of this has worked! I've also tried right clicking on the FX in the layer palette and chosen "Create Layers" at which point I get a dialog: "Some aspects of the effects cannot be reproduced with layers", and I get the same result. Most noticeable style that disappears is the drop shadow.

Weird thing is this isn't the case for every layer. I've particularly noticed it happens on text layers that have been text warped. However I've tried rasterizing them before trying to merge and that hasn't helped so I can't see how that is the problem.

I hope someone can help, I am totally stumped. If it makes a difference the mode is CMYK Color, 8 bit.

Heyhey dear PSG-community,

A week ago, 2 functions of photoshop stopped working for me. I remember there was an windows8-Update at that time, this maybe a clue?

LMB/RMB = right/left mouse button

I'm mainly using photoshop to draw digital, thus I'm very used to the [alt+space+dragLMB] zoom method. But now it just doesn't work at all.
I also recognized that the red circle overlay dissapeared, which should normally display how much hardness your brush has when using the [ALT + dragRMB Up/Down] method.

I use both methods very frequently so this is driving me crazy. Does anyone have an idea how to fix them?

Im using photoshop CS6

what i tryed so far:
- checking my preferences > cursors setting (normal brush tip checked, color set to red)
- checking my preferences > performance > graphic processing settings (they are grayed out)
- pressing shift+crtl+alt directly after starting photoshop
- reinstalling Photoshop
- closing all other programs exept background processes and my antivir-program
- updating photoshopCS6 to the newest version
- updating my video driver

Hello,
I am still in the learning mode with Photoshop. I've run across something I am clueless about. How to save a transparent png or gif. I saved it like I do in PSP but when I posted it on another forum, it has a black background. Can you explain to me how to save it transparent the right way?

Thanks-

Hi gif smarties!

I am using the animation feature in Photoshop CS5. Im rotoscoping by tracing footage that has been imported to layers. The traced frames are on their own separate layers. Im keeping my workload, per file, to 60 frames (120 layers total). I tried to make a file that was 70 frames instead (140 layers). Now every time I open the animation window, the layers go crazy and the traced layers are moved, uncolored, and generally all weird and wrong. I tried copying the file and breaking it into 2 files of 35 frames each (70 layers) but the damage seems to be done. Opening the animation window screws with the frames. Is there a fix for this or do I simply have to keep files to <60 in the future?

halp halp!

I am in the market for a new laptop and a new tablet. One of my thoughts was to get a Microsoft Surface rather than two devices.

Has anyone used Photoshop on something like a surface? (I am thinking high end model - 4th gen i7, 500 GB, pro 3).

Sorry if posted in the wrong place.
