When I try to do a duotone, it won't "see" the folders from within the program with the duo/tri/quadtones in them even though the folders are there and populated. Anyone else have this problem?
They're included with the install, and they show up when you go to the directory and look; and I am in 8 bit mode (since I do remember that from CS2.) But when you try to "load" a duotone, it shows the folder as blank.
I'm on a PC, Gary. Let me see what path it's looking at - I'll report back in a bit.
xion is right. The program default is looking in the wrong place - it's looking under the Documents/Application tree, when it needs to look down the Program files tree.
Go to where you'll load a duotone, then click up through the directory. As you keep going up, you'll see that it's looking in folders it (or a previous version) "created" under your username, application data, etc. Those are indeed empty. Keep going up until you get to where you have Program Files. Click on that and go back down to Adobe, Adobe CS3, Presets, Duotones. And voila. They'll be there!
When I click on load I am sent to Library/application_support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Presets/duotone but there is nothing there.
Strange! It must be some kind of bug, I'll try googling some forums.
Gary, manually click up out of that, and go to Program Files and look for the same chain of stuff (or wherever it is on a Mac that the programs reside.) The program default is looking in the wrong place.
Hmm... well, I'd do a screen shot of what I mean, but I don't know how to do those. So, it shall be the blind leading the blind...
Open a picture. Convert to grayscale. Convert to duotone. At this point, a dialog box pops up, and there's a "load" button. Click it. Another window pops up, right? At the top of that window is a "Look in" line that gives a location, and on the right of that line is an arrow to expand that location listing. Click that arrow. It's probably looking down a chain that begins with My Documents. That chain needs to begin with Program Files instead. So click on My Computer from that window, and choose Program Files-Adobe-Photoshop CS3-Presets.
Thanks, Colette! I'll have to give that a try. And by the way, this shot of yours rocks:
Thanks Deb. I'm glad you got your Duotones sorted. It seems weird that the default location wasn't set up correctly at install time though seems easy enough to fix until there's an update from Adobe.
