Either I’m half blind or the default colours in Photoshop CS6 are a bit to dark for me to work with.
It’s easy to fix, there are four settings.
Windows: Press SHIFT+F2 to ‘lighten’, and SHIFT+F1 to ‘darken’.
MAC: Press SHIFT+FUNCTION+F2 to ‘lighten’, and SHIFT_FUNCTION+F1 to ‘darken’.

If you are like me and struggle to remember settings, passwords etc. Then being able to back up all your website settings in Dreamweaver so you can restore them back again, (after a rebuild on a new PC) can save you some heartache.
1. On the SOURCE machine, Launch Dreamweaver > Site > Manage Sites > Select the site in question > Select the ‘Export Site’ Icon.
2. Choose whether to export the site login details and passwords > OK.
3. Select where you want to save the settings.
4. From the Same Menu on the TARGET Machine > Import Site.
5. Browse to the .ste file you saved earlier > Open.

I am in the process of moving all my stuff to a new laptop, I installed CS6 and was doing some work when every time I used the cropping tool my images simply went black.
Also, for no reason images I was working on would flicker black as well?
Turns out it’s just a problem with the graphics drivers on this particular machine and the way Photoshop interacts with the graphics processor. The first step should fix the problem for you, if not carry out the second step.
File > Preferences > Performance > Advanced Settings > Change the Drawing mode to ‘Basic’ > OK > OK. Now test again, if the problem is resolved skip the next step.
File > Preferences > Performance > Untick ‘Use Graphics Processor’ > OK.

If you want to migrate your dictionary to a new machine, or you have mistakenly added a word to the dictionary and need to delete that word, then you need to locate and edit the private dictionary.
With older versions of Dreamweaver the private/personal dictionary was a file with a .tlx extension, and it was in a completely different location! I spent a LONG TIME searching the net for the correct location for CS6. In the end I had to add a nonsense word into the “Add to Personal” dictionary, then use Agent Ransack to search the entire drive for the file that contained that word!
1. First fire up Dreamweaver and see what language you have the dictionary set to (this will matter in a minute). Edit > Preferences > General > Spelling Dictionary > Take note of what it is set to.
2. Notice mine is set to UK (that’s en_GB, if you are American yours will be en_US etc.). To locate your personal dictionary navigate to;
[box] C:UsersUsernameAppDataLocalLowAdobeLinguisticsUserDictionariesAdobe Custom Dictionaryen_GBadded.txt [/box]
Note: You will notice the language of the parent dictionary dictates the path to the custom dictionary.
3. You can now open the file with your favourite text editor and remove any incorrect entries, or migrate it to a new machine.
