Unable to apply abstract profiles as part of an action.

[Dr. B.]

Hello - new member here,

I am using CS6 on Windows 7. When I try to convert to profile specifying an abstract profile in an action I get an error message: "could not complete the command because of a program error"

Has anyone here been able to do this?

Thanks
Dr. B.

Try clicking the Clear button in the Options Bar.



If that doesn't work reset the tool.

Thanks for the reply...but this still doesn't work.

Try resetting your preferences.

How to reset Photoshop preferences (In Windows):
First, hold down all three Ctrl + Alt + Shift buttons. Now "while keeping those button held," simply open Photoshop or a file that opens with Photoshop, and as Photoshop loads, you should get a prompt asking if you would like to "delete the Photoshop settings file", Click yes

You should now have a fresh slate with all of the settings returned to their default.

On a Mac, hold Shift + Option + Command while starting Photoshop to delete the preferences.

Which hard drive are you using for a Scratch Disk?
How much space is left on it?
Do you defrag that drive? (if you keep files on it, as well as Scratch Disk)
