TOPIC: Photoshop with occasional GPU driver problem

Dear all,

Sometimes when I start photoshop, I get a message saying: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."

I have the latest graphics drivers installed, but this message does not always occur when I start Photoshop although the driver does not change. So, I guess there might be some other reason causing this error message.

I am running Photoshop on a Thinkpad with Windows XP Professional.

Regards,

If you have an nVidia graphics card check the nVidia site for beta or updated drivers. There are even new ones this month.

The error message means what it says: the driver has returned an error, and Photoshop had to disable some GPU features because of that. Updating the driver is the solution, but if you have the latest driver, you may need to tell the video card maker so they know to fix the bug...

Are both monitors at their native resolutions Tom? I know that this can happen to images if they are not.

If you're using an LCD you MUST stick to native resolution. This is even
more important with widescreen monitors.

Nick is right it's Filter > Distort > Lens Correction.
Then drag the perspective sliders.
* **************************** I can assure you it wasn't the lens correction filter, I didn't even know that feature existed until a week later.

Was it the perspective tick box when using the crop tool by any chance?
Anthony.
* ****************************

I tried that - grabbed the image with the crop tool, then checked the perspective tick box, then clicked the check mark to apply the changes, but nothing happened.

This tick box enables you to drag out corners of the selection independently.

Thus it's possible to trapezium-shape the selection according to the shape of the subject.

Can also be done with an ordinary selection, then Edit > Transform > Perspective.

* ***************************

Thanks Rob. I'm accustomed to making all my perspective adjustments with Edit>Transform>Perspective using my old (CS) version of Photoshop. That's why I was so impressed that I could do this with just one click in CS4 when experimenting that first day - I even called my wife into the room to show her! But I haven't yet been able to duplicate the adjustment.

Mike,

Are you talking about lens distortion (Barrel/cushion/moustache),
or perspective distortion (cone shaped buildings, for instance)?

The former is possible with one click using one of the third party plug-ins like PTlens. This plug-in reads the EXIF data to determine the lens model, and makes corrections off a lens profile database.

The latter takes a view camera or other tilt/shift movements, or perspective correction in PS. (not one click, but nearly)

BTW, if you correct both, the do the lens correction first, otherwise the lens distortion can't exactly cancel out against the profile.

Rob,

I'm speaking about perspective distortion, i.e. buildings photographed up close with a wide angle lens resulting in converging vertical lines. But I've never had that plug-in you mention. Somehow I was able to correct this with one click just after loading CS4 and messing around with the program for the first time. That's how I got the resulting image (links in earlier post). Bizarre that I can't duplicate the feature, let alone locate it.

Edwin,

First reset the preferences. Shut down PS and go into the My Documents\Application Data\Andobe\Photoshop... path and find the (...)preference.psp file.

Delete that. Your PS should then behave as factory default.

Since this file is created upon first launch, and not during install, it's going to be there after a reinstall.

Also check the forum FAQ about this.

Hi - I have 4 \application data\ folders (under \all users\, \my name\, \administrator's documents\ etc. Only one of the \adobe\ subfolders contains \photoshop\ and it is \adobe photoshop cs3\ which contains settings\ and preset\ folders and files, but no preference.psp
I never installed cs3, I don't even have it. When I search for a preference file, no preference.psp comes up

What to do next?

Hi
I have looked on the forums but cant find the answer.

I have CS3 but my girlfriend is back on PS7 and wants to upgrade. Can she upgrade from PS7 to CS4 as an upgrade rather than buying the full version?

THank you for any help that can be offered

Is it possible to get rid of the frame on an image and still drag it?

Dennis,

With "frame", do you mean the title bar?

You can drag an image about with the hand tool. Best way is to press and hold the space bar, that will temporarily change the current tool into the hand tool.

Dennis,

Press "f" in succession. It toggles through screen modes. In two of them there isn't a title bar on the image.

I figured out what was going on, with the help of a lady on the scrapbooking forum. I had the file to far down in My Documents, I guess it doesn't want to use it if it's not higher up in My Documents, so I put it in my recieved files, and it worked. Which means I will have to make a folder in My Documents just for those files, and not bury them down in several other folders. What a pain!! :(

Thanks for the confirmation Michael and KatWoman. Strange, I had a feeling that I'd seen it once but looking back am perhaps confusing it with Bridge which I haven't looked at or used since adopting Lightroom.

TOPIC: Mesh warp available in photoshop?

Some photo editor has a feature called mesh warp: it overlays a grid over a selected area and the user can drag the points in the grid to distort (warp) the underlying graphics.

The closest thing I found in photoshop is liquify, but it doesn't work quite the same. It's harder to make subtle changes with the liquify tools than with mesh warp.

For example, if I have a photo of a woman with barrel waist and I want to edit her into hour-glass waist, having mesh warp would be handy.

I have photoshop cs2.
