set measurement scale not selectable in CS6

Jul 11, 2012 8:50 PM

I'm trying to set the scale of my picture in CS6 but everytime I got to analysis -- set measurement scale I can't select it! I need it to make scale bars on my fluorescent pics so I can finish my thesis. I have CS6 (64x) from creative suite 6 design standard that I got from my school. The picture is .tiff file 24 bit. If anyone can help I would appreciate it!

    Do you have photoshop cs6 extended or standard?

     

    Help>About Photoshop would say extended or the standard version would not say extended.

     

    As far as i know the analysis functions are only available in the extended version even though the menu items might be there in the standard version

    which i believe is the version Design Standard ships with.

    I guess I have standard b/c I don't see extended. Thanks for your help but this was the whole reason why I got photoshop. I guess I'll see I can return this version and just work on campus from now on.

    Well if you got student pricing i would look at the other creative suites or creative cloud.

     

    This is just a version comparision and imagine student pricing is much cheaper:

    I have exactly the same problem. The count tool isn't selectable either... I purchased my "Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard and Teacher Edition" in May 2012 - so no chance of returning.

     

    I am really disappointed!

    Not that it helps you in the short term, but it's a life lesson:  Strive to know what you're buying before you buy it.  Find out what the options are and understand the differences between base and high-end models.

     

    I don't know whether you can upgrade what you bought to something that includes Photoshop CS6 Extended, but it's probably worth asking an Adobe sales person for the details.

    Hi Noel,

     

    Yes, I know. Rather silly of me. Before I bought this package, I tested the automation and contact sheet tools. I thought that the measurement and count tools were basic enough to be included in a the non-extended version. I've writen to the Adobe team... perhaps there is a way.
