Give your photos a professional finish with sharpening in Photoshop. Learn to enhance details, create contrast, and prepare your images for print, web, and social media.
What sort of file are you working on? And at what bit-depth? Many filters are only available to you when you are working in an 8-bit RGB file. From your description, you probably are working on a 16-bit file.
OK… this is weird… I was the one that responded earlier about the RBG to CMYK… now I’m having the exactly same problem as you, AND I can’t use the PLACE feature either…. Almost all of my options are disappearing as we speak!!!!
Are you launching 7.0.1 from a faulty alias? And have you trashed your Prefs.; and run Cocktail if you are on OSX or, at least, Repaired Permissions since installing new software?
I am using OSX, but here’s my dilema.I just had a similar problem last week, where I needed to repair my permissions, and it hung half way through, and I wasn’t able to boot my drive after that…. long story short, I needed to reformat my entire drive, reinstall all my software and recover all of my work… I’m a little hesitant to repair my permissions now….
OK, for the one millionth time, you either lock the application or more likely you tried to make an alias of Photoshop like on the desktop so you can launch it. But instead of holding the command and option key when you dragged the icon you only held the option key and that made a copy of Photoshop outside the application folder.
To fix trash the copy then trash PS’s preferences and settings and make a real alias and you will be fine.
You could after that repair the permissions but probably not necessary.
It seems that even when I switch to 8 bit RGB I still have the same amount of filters I had before, with a whole bunch missing
I trashed my prefs beforehand> then trashed PS7 aliases and what have you..> then I restarted>re-installed>re-started> moved PS7 onto my desktop holding command+option
This morning I have encountered the problem yet again
Dont fret…I have solved this endearing task Ramon. The exact purpose for these forums is to solve these riddles no matter how many times a conflict perpetuates.
But the vital information which could have solved your "riddle" after your first post, did not actually appear until message # 21 — which wasted a lot of time for all concerned and especially for you yourself.
And the problem was the result of making a faulty alias (which I suggested to you back in message #6 but which you still failed to address)!
(sigh) Ramon! Drop it, this post should have been over 6 posts ago but you always add on some finger up yer butt comment in the end..
THANK YOU ADOBE FORUMS USERS!!!
WE CAN NOW END THE POSTS NOW!!
Ramon! Chill buddy, maybe find another forums user who’s trying to figure out OS X or something…I personally loved the tidbit of knowledge I attained from all this..
