    Here is a link to one of many articles about 10.5.2
    http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/12/19/mac_os_x_10_5_2_to_deliv er_sprawling_list_of_fixes_for_leopard.html

    I hope this sheds some light on the subject for the folk who think Adobe is dragging their feet.

    Buko:

    So which part of that article has any reference to fixing things related to Adobe products? It's not just PS but there are also ton of Bridge problems too that did not work even under Tiger.

    I think you missed the point which is that Adobe can't do anything until Apple releses the new update.

    " I am more prone to go back to CS2 and Bridge2 then to take 45 min (for me it would probably take an hour and 45 min) to revert back to Tiger plus I lose the benefits of Time Machine."

    I'm using CS2 and just upgraded to Leopard with the same problems of not being able to use the numeric input boxes.

    I find it interesting that when everything works in Tiger and people introduce a new operating system Leopard, they get upset with Adobe, and not Apple who made the faulty OS.

    Because when I buy software form a developer I expect them to have tested it with the current OS and made sure that it woks before they release it. I had problems with Adobe products under Tiger both PS and Bridge and now I have even more problems under leopard. So I am led to believe that it is mainly an Adobe problem. But hey I have complained to Apple too. I just wish the two would work jointly together for the best interests of their mutual clients.

    It was tested and released under tiger and works very well with a few minor bugs they released fixes for. Leopard was released some 6 months after CS3.

    In short, one developer cannot anticipate what will be released by another months later.

    Then maybe the developer should release their product that follows the OS.

    Has this issue been fixed yet? I am seeing something similar in the Options bar, anytime I want to transform something using numerical values, it goes nuts.

    I don't care which company's fault it is; whoever CAN fix the problem SHOULD, instead of pointing fingers.

    That said, I have a tip on how to enter values into Photoshop's Fixed Ratio fields for the Marquee tools once things go wonky.

    Enter the first value if you can, then tab over to the second field. Enter the second value, and wait a couple seconds. Then click the swap button two times.

    Sometimes you can not enter even the first value then if it allows you doing the swap thing does not work all the time either.

    A couple work arounds for this that are a little faster than restarting PS. If your crop tool is set to whole numbers move your cursor over the size box until you get the two-way arrows then you will have an active slider and you can change sizes this way, same goes for the resolution.

    Another way that will work if you want something other than whole numbers. With an image open in PS Go to Image->Image Size and when the dialog box opens uncheck the box near the bottom that says Constrain Proportions then enter the size that you want your image to be, say 10.75 x 6.35 and hit ok. This of course is going to make your photo look really strange but this is ok for now. Then with your image at this size go to the crop tool and make it active in the tool palate. On the tool bar hit the button that says Front Image and this will enter in the deminisons of your open file into the crop tool size setting. Now step back one sate in your history and use your crop tool with your new setting. Also, don't for get the next time that you use your Image Size dialog to recheck the Constrain Proportions box. This sounds like a lot of stpes but it is pretty fast.

    Yeah, it has been an adventure, now if they would fix not only PS but also Bridge, I am at the point of of hating Adobe.

    The bad boys here are Adobe AND Apple. They have to hash out the issues together. We can only watch.

    I supposedly, I really don't know except that Bridge suck big time in both Tiger and Leopard PS CS3 really sucks under Leopard.

    Here is the way I look at, a commercial client comes to me back in the film days to shot their campaign I land the job, shoot it and take my film to the lab, the lab ruins film. I call my client and tell them sorry but your film was ruined by the lab and there is nothing I can do but I am going to keep the retainer that you have paid me anyway. From the client's point of view whose responsibility is it to fix the problem? Me or the lab?

    I didn't buy CS3 from Apple I bought it from Adobe, from my point of view they need to do whatever it takes to make things right. Should they have waited until Leopard was released before they released CS3, I don't know. If they need to release an update so be it, if they need to negotiate with Apple to get it fixed so be it. Just get it done, whatever it takes.

    Well the stock holders dont see it that way, so I guess you're screwed.

    Bugs are calculated risk assessments.

    Another way is to just make a new document (CMD N) the size of the desired crop and hit Front Image. That way you don't screw up your Image Size settings or your image.

    Mac OS 10.5.3 here and every time I use the crop tool it crops my image down to 1 pixel by 1 pixel.

    If I use the marquee tool and then IMAGE>CROP then it works no problem.

    PS3 started to behave after I disabled spaces. I just upgraded to 10.5.4, re-enabled spaces, and so far everything is fine. PS tools are behaving fine, and Bridge hasn't gone down since the upgrade.

    Just an aside, but I also noticed that Bridge would hang every time it encountered a .gif file on a remote server drive. I tried copying all .gif files to my desktop, opened in PS, and re-saved back to the network as RGB .jpg, and Bridge cached the same folder without any problems.

    I've always thought it would be great if there was a brush tool that you could set on desaturate. You would select the brush and then brush areas of the image and it would desaturate the colors that you ran the brush over.

    ellen,
    that is not really the subject of this thread, but here are some ideas:
    -set the mode of your brush to Saturation, color to any shade of grey and opacity to 10-30% and paint: it does exactly what you are looking for.
    -create a Hue/Saturation layer set to desaturate -100 and paint in the mask in black with opacity 10-30%. This method is non-destructive.
    Hope that helps

    Hmmmm... you could also perhaps use the sponge tool which does exactly what you're asking for? It can both saturate and desaturate - pick the preferred mode contextual tool bar at the top.

    Photoshop CS2 clone tool broken under both Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.5

    Guys, the clone tool in Photoshop CS2 doesn't work (claims the area I'm trying to clone hasn't been defined).

    Opacity is 100%

    Clone, not pattern tool is on.

    Targeting color pixels.

    Brush tool is set to normal.

    It was quite functional before and Adobe's phone support claims I need to purchase either CS3 or CS4 before I can be assisted.

    [profanity deleted].

    Anyway, do you have any ideas on this whatsoever?

    Dale

    Unfortunately, the tech note is about Windows utilities -- and this is a Macintosh user.

    Dale - you haven't told us WHAT doesn't work. Where/when does it not work, what error message do you get, etc.
    What exactly changed between when it worked and when it stopped working?

    CS2 is not supported in Leopard. and will never be. so it may or may not work.

    that said be sure you target a layer with something on it (option+click first) or you can't clone it.
