By the way, if nobody mentioned it... THANK YOU for the wonder city you have created.

HartyBart, when I finish the current project, I will follow all your suggestions. If that doesn't work, I am going to do a clean install of Windows 11 and reinstall Daz and Photoshop.

Thank you so much for all your help. I am acquiring a copy of the magazine as I can't read it. It won't blow up from your note.

I think I know what happened to mess up my system that I have used for years. On some product I was looking at in my content menu, I remember clicking on an image thinking it was the .duf for  prop but then realized it said "Render Settings". Nothing happened and I went on with my work but I'll bet that link rejigged my render settings in some way that I can't sewe or undo. Nothing else really makes any sense. It worked perfectly and then an hour later, it didn't.

I notice that I cannot open the photoshop bridge when in Daz 4.12. The choice does not appear and the bridge is not listed as installed.

I did everything you suggested and I am certain we are close, however now I can open Photoshop CS6 32bit and then File/Automate/Daz Studio 3d bridge.

The menu opens in the upper left and immediately opens Daz Studio 4.21 64 bit but the bridge is not activated.

When I go as Photoshop instructs me to Daz3d, there is an error message:

"Could not open file: scripts//init 3dbridge.dse. File does not exist."

Sooooo close....

What a stunning reply to wake up to! I will study everything and try it out. THANK YOU

Thanks for the advice. I'll check out using the 32-bit bridge and maybe reinstall Photoshop CS5 and see if those two can connect. The bridge is so vital to my work. The results are spectacularly sharp, much sharper than anything I've been able to generate just using Daz 3D alone. And they come in to the Photoshop as layers in a PSD file. I really have depended on the Photoshop bridge for a decade or more.

I tried uninstalling the last Windows 11 update but it had no effect. I still can't get it to work. Thanks for the suggestion HartyBart.

I am on Windows 11 Home. That is an interesting suggestion, I just have no idea how to overcome this. Roll back my recent updates in Windows?
