Description


----
Fixed perspective in this archival resubmit from several years ago
---
Yesterday morning there was an update to Photoshop CC that included its new Perspective Warp tool. The download failed repeatedly. But after restarting my computer, PS appeared to have reverted back to its previous version. It wasn't until last night that I tried to use PS. It errored out. I contacted Adobe through a chat and the technician told me to delete PS CC, run an Adobe Cleaner (turned out to be a DOS command for which he gave me no idea how to respond to the prompts), and then reinstall. Somehow I figured it out. This time the install was successful but the patch failed (after over an hour of downloading). So I have the previous version working, but none of the plugins or preferences were kept. By this time, there were no chats available so I tried to call Adobe. There was a two-hour wait. Hung up.
GRR%!PHHHst!!!!!

Michelle…love the way the moss covers everything! #10948783

Oh, it's so beautifully GREEN! I love it. I hate your PS problems. I'm still poking along with PS7, and my filters. I've been lucky and most filters seem to work ok, even though they aren't tested with PS7. I have Elements 9, but don't like it as well as good ol'7.. It takes twice as long to find what I want to do. I'll probably never evolve. I don't like change, as everybody probably knows all too well. LOL #10948789

I feel your pain - but wait, your business is important to us! Beautiful lush greens and earth tones on this one! #10949130

Oh, I can feel myself getting more and more tense as I read your description. I have subscribed to CC, just because I felt I probably would have to eventually, so wanted to take advantage of the price. But I have not downloaded it and am resisting mightily. I may just wait even longer now. Ah, but back to the image. You're longing for spring already, aren't you? Love that little elf house on the edge of the green. #10949176

Love those vibrant greens Michelle! A delightful snow free scene with excellent framing and composition! Good luck with your computer! #10949200

First your house and now your PC. Things have to get better. Love the greens. #10949357

Michelle Alton January 17, 2014

Thanks Emile. Not the PC this time--an Adobe updating issue. It took me hours to sort it out, but everything is back to normal, including new features. Ah! #10949363

Beautiful backyard scene, Michelle! What an ordeal with Adobe...better luck next time! #10949450

It can be so darn frustrating. Feel the pain. Think we all have had things happen like this that makes us scream.
Beautiful composing of the picture here Michelle. I love the rustic look it has. That green moss covers everything and I thing gives it a beautiful look. Enjoy it on the roof of the shack. Take care my friend. Hope things get back on track for you soon. #10949672

Deborah C. Lewinson level-addict January 18, 2014

Beautiful image, Michelle! The lush green color is so comforting this time of the year!

Glad your Adobe issue was fixed. I lost my calendar in Outlook this week and spent half a day recovering it.

Adobe needs to get its act together!

At any rate, this image is stunning. Love the depth, color and textures and your creative copyright placement! #10950305

I would like to believe that the green of this image did help in soothing your nerves after the 'Adobe' experience...

Like the lush green, very well composed and captured,Michelle!! #10950884

Well, whatever you did to this one was just perfect! :) !! With or without the exciting and illusive new PS update.

My: Google Chrome, flash player and Java all decided to gang up on me as a team this week and I have been having tons of fun here, too. For me, a day without youtube is a day without sunshine. Ha!

As complicated as I felt it all was, it turned out that correcting all of it meant to uninstall Google Chrome and re-install it again. :D All is well again in computer land. :))) There is peace in my PC.

What a delightful place you found here and I love where you placed your insignia! Very creative. :D
