CS5 Mac - What happened to Adjustments->Variations?

Jul 9, 2010 9:07 AM

I cannot find Variations in either 64 or 32 bit PS CS5 for the Mac. My PC friends say it is where it belongs in both, in the Adjustments menu.

 

What happened to it?

 

TIA,

 

Bill

    Hi:

     

    Adjustment>Variations is listed but grayed out for 16 bit images or when you are using Photoshop in 64 bit mode, the option is completely unlisted.  Translation...you can only have Adjustment>Variations available for 8 bit images in 32 bit Photoshop mode.

    If you will convert to 8 bit mode, you will see that it becomes available.

    Don't find it in either mode.  Don't find it greyed out either.  Found information on how to upload for PC Vista in Adobe Support, but no infor for Mac.

    I cannot fine the variation option either, I tried changing to different modes and channel bit sizes and nothing...now what do I do?  This options just doesn"t show at all grayed or otherwise.

    I recently did a clean install of everything on a MBPro. I only use 8-bit images. I am in the 32-bit kernel. Variations is NOT in  the Adjustments submenu.

     

    But, if I Get Info on Photoshop and check the Open in 32-bit mode, "Variations" appears and works. I have not tried this in the 64-bit kernel. But, why should it not work there too.

    I'm not getting variations in any mode on my Mac ... it simply isn't there... for me it's a must have feature...  Hello Adobe - what's going on??

    It makes no sense (that I can see) why this function wouldn't work for 16-bit images or in 64-bit mode.
