Tisarazzi Photography Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi! My status bar has disappeared and for the life of me, I can't restore it. I have cycled through the F key button and still no success. In fact, in order for my layers panels to show, I have to cycle to where the exit, iconify and enlarge buttons are not visible. Any steps I can take to restore the status bar? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Have you tried hitting tab? If that doesn't work, can you screenshot your window so we can see which status bar(s) you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisarazzi Photography Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Thank you. I did tab and nothing appeared. Attached are views of my screen from both F screen views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Have you gone to Window>Workspace>Reset Workspace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 You also need this. :-) http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisarazzi Photography Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Thanks for all the help. I have tried all of the above and no success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 But at least this file is in the correct color space and bit depth now, and your defaults have been corrected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 And please fill this out for us? http://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisarazzi Photography Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I have a Mac laptop running El Chapo and Photoshop cc. It is under 6 months old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 259GB free out of 500GB. The last time I shut down was earlier today. I rarely run a cleanup program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisarazzi Photography Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 You're here so we can check what colour space you're working in. This is crucial to everything you do in post-processing. Open your photo (the one you were working on when I sent you to this article) in Photoshop or Elements. You must make sure it's the ONLY photo you have open. Close all others. Click the little black arrow at the bottom left corner and choose "Document Profile": ******* My image does not have that scroll bar to make adjustments. That is the bar that has disappeared.******* When you do that, it'll tell you the colour space and bit depth of your file. What does yours say?

Damien Symonds Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Ok, what about if you go Window>Workspace>Photography? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisarazzi Photography Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 That also didn't work. Below are screen shots after toggling through screens using the F keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha LaRue Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 There should be 3 screens. But yours is only showing 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisarazzi Photography Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 The other is full screen without any tool bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha LaRue Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Ah gotcha. And, similar to what Damien said, have you tried resetting your workspace? Or at least restarting your computer again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisarazzi Photography Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yes I have a few times. This happened once before and Adobe support had to fix it. Unfortunately they are closed on weekends. My computer crashed and I had to backup to a previous state that did not show the status bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 And what happens if you click the green circle at the top left when that bar is showing (like in the first screenshot of your second set of screenshots)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisarazzi Photography Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 And ladies and gentlemen we have a winner! Thanks a bunch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I thought that might be the case, but had to get on my computer to figure out which of the maximize buttons would do that to my PS. Glad it was something simple! NOW go through the troubleshooter and fix your color space and bit depth problems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Did you fix the colour space problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisarazzi Photography Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Photoshop changed the way the color profile settings look and is a bit confusing. Below are my settings. I am trying to align as specified in the layers and masks course. Please let me know if this is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yep, that's absolutely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 And you've gone through the troubleshooter now, I trust, and fixed things? Because you were in AdobeRGB and 16 bits, and the Color Settings window isn't where you fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
