When I try to import a folder of jpeg files into iPhoto, only some are imported. I get the message "The following files could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)" I am running iPhoto '09 ver. 8.1.2 on OSX 10.5.8. They are all RGB.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Downloaded Mt Lion Yesterday and my Tool bar has disappeared. I can still access the individual tools but cannot see my header. I used 'help' and did what it suggested. slected 'hide tool bar' and then 'show toolbar'. I also restarted etc.

Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing.

Colour shift when placing PSD files into illustrator

Hi there
I have tested this issue on CS 3,4 and 5.
bascially if I create a CMYK document with a colour image and save this down as a psd file with the coated Fogra 39 embedded in it. If I create a new file within Illustrator with the same colur management and place the psd file into the document and check the link option (so it is a linked file), the colour shifts when using the colour picker. If I print the document from each APP they visually look different as well.
If I place the psd into illustrator without selecting the link option the colour has the same CMYK values as the psd within Photoshop and also prints correctly.
i can only assume that there is an option somewhere in regards to the "link" option and how this changes tha colour values somewhere? If not is there anyway I can get around this issue so I can use linked files without the CMYK values changing?
Thanks in advance
Paul

Hi guys
Thanks for the responses.
I use bridge to blanket the colour settings so this i feel this is not the issue here. If you have a moment and would kindly create a colour tint within PS of what ever colour, save this down as any format and place this into illustrator with the link checkbox checked you will see the colour data has physically changed for the CMYK values. This results in the prints looking different as well. If you deselct the link check box when placing the file the CMYK values are the same.
I tried the overprint preview option. This changes the viewable colour on screen but not the CMYK data of the file.
There seems to be a fundamental floor with this link option for some reason.
I might have phone Adobe direct for this iisue as I cannot find a fix for this.
Many thanks
Paul

Why can't I place .psd files in Illustrator?

I will do my best to outline the situation. I am not very tech savvy and need some advice. Recently my motherboard crashed on my previous computer. I currently work for a nonprofit and but do quite a bit of graphic design. We have a tight deadline on a number of items, so my boss went and bought me a computer a soon as possible. She bought the best pc she could find. Since I am a mac person I do not have much understanding about pc(s). I reinstalled CS3 on the computer. I am currently working on 16 separate signs that are 36"x36". I did not have any issues working with placed images on my home computer or my previous computer. All the .psd images are not showing up and say the link needs to be repaired or replaced. I do that and the same window comes up again saying the image needs to be repaired or replaced. When I try to start over and place them in a new document, absolutely nothing happens. However, when I change the images to .jpg I can place them. Also, when I try to print these rather large signs with the placed .jpg, I get this: Not enough memory. The object was to complex. Reducing the size of this document window may help. Here is the specs of my system:
Can anyone help?? It is frustrating to get a new computer that does not really work. I will answer questions if that will help pinpoint the problem.

You are using a 64-bit Windows operating system, and this is a well-known issue.
First, make sure you've updated to version 13.0.2:

Can you place linked files into Photoshop CS4?

If you place a .psd or .tif file into an InDesign file, you are alerted if any changes are made to that file (as I'm sure most of you know). Is there any way to do this within Photoshop? I have several dozen carpet sample .tif files that are to be used in several hundred "montage" type "carpet sample groups" layered .psd files that will then be saved as images for the web (does that make sense?). Is there any way to do this so that if there's a change in the original .tif file it will automatically change any .psd file in which it's being used? I know the easiest way to do this is in InDesign, but I have two problems: 1) the conversion from InDesign to a web image is laborious, and 2) the person doing the work does not know InDesign at all. I can show him how to use it, but that's a small part of the battle.
Any suggestions? I'm using CS4 for Windows.
Thanks,
Lloyd

Thanks for your comments. The problem arises because we have to create that intermediate Photoshop step.
We have, say, a dozen individual carpet swatches that are used to create hundreds of combinations (which are all separate layered .psd files). If one swatch changes (color, for example), then we have to open every .psd file in which that swatch appears and change it (or place the changed one). I'd love to be able to change the original and have it update every layered file in which it appears, just like InDesign does with placed/linked files.
Maybe there's a plug-in (wishful thinking)?
Also, I'd really like to have it changed in the web development end of things, but we're working with a company that is (obviously) using templates and we can only give them single images, hence the need to create the intermediate Photoshop files.

How can I open psd files into Potoshop CC from bridge

PSD files will not open into Photoshop CC from Bridge CC. I get this error message...“Windows cannot find, C:\program files\adobe\adobe photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\photoshop.exe.” I can open jpeg, tiff and raw. I'm using Windows 7. I do not have CS5 on my computer. Help...

You must have uninstalled CS5 after you installed CC. Your registry is fouled up. You can either uninstall CC, run the Script Cleaner and reinstall, or fix registry as below.
After looking at a new user's registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER and comparing it to the one on the original user, I found a registry value which was not changed, and should have been.
I found a key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\op en\command
This key was set to the path for Photoshop CS6 when it should have been set to Photoshop CC.
In other words, in my case, it was set to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
When I changed the CS6 to a CC, in other words, so the whole key reads:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"

Problem placing PSD file in Illustrator

G'day,
My problem is when i place PSD file into illustrator, it opens up "Photoshop Import Option" menu,
which lets me choose either:
(1) convert photoshop layers to objects (or)
(2) Flatten photoshop layers to a single image
all other options are greyed out (meaning i cannot select them)
The above 2 options will embed the image into illustrator, thus when i update in photoshop, they will not auto update.
I dont have this problem in the past (which means i dont get this menu when i use the place function) but it just poped up the last week.
But when i open OLD illustrator files which have PSD images not embeded, i am able to edit the PSD and illustrator will auto update.
Please help it is really frustrating to keep placing PSD files everytime when i have changes.
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
May i know what is the place dialogue box are you referring to?
The Place dialogue box that i get (when i press file>place) is the image below:
As you can see i dont have any "link" button to check or uncheck. I can either flatten the psd or convert to object.
My Problem is I would really like to link back the psd file for easy updates but i am not able to.
Pls help thx!~

Can not import PhotoShop CS3 files into Illustrator CS3

Worked just fine yesterday. I can place a JPG. I typically just drag a PSD into Illustrator. I now get an error message sayng it can not read the file. I have tried placing the file and nothing happens (no messages or warnings).
I tried saving the PSD as a TIF, but no luck here either.
I have tried opening a new file and dragging various PSD files in. It seems that none of the work any longer.
And yes I've rebooted.

I have the exact same problem. I haven't placed PSD files into Illustrator for quite a while, but I just tried it this morning and it doesn't work (just like the OP). I even opened a file about a year old, which used to work just fine, but now the PSD file doesn't appear and I can't re-import it. So it has to be some issue recently introduced.
@Galumph - I have Vista x64 and 8GB of RAM. Is there a specific issue that applies to this particular combo?

3. To open your Photoshop document, go to File>Open and then select the document you want to open when prompted.
   •   Placing PSD files into Illustrator (Editable)
This method is ideal if you wish to incorporate a Photoshop document within an existing Illustrator document which can then make the PSD file editable within Illustrator.
1. Launch the Illustrator program, select File>Place
2. Locate the PSD file you want to import and click “Place”. Make sure the “Link” option is not selected.
Placing or opening an unlinked Photoshop file will prompt a dialog box with options, choose the most appropriate option and then click “OK”.
• Convert Layers to Objects: This option will convert the Photoshop layers into Illustrator objects to be able preserve masks, transparency and blending modes.
                             • Flatten Layers to a Single Object: This option will flatten all the Photoshop layers into a single layer to preserve the look and appearance of the image; however individual Photoshop layers will no longer be editable.
   •   Placing PSD files into Illustrator (Not Editable)
This method is ideal for incorporating your Photoshop files in an existing Illustrator document. Although the PSD file will no longer be editable it will be able to maintain a link to your original Photoshop file.
1. Launch the Illustrator program, select File>Place.
2. Locate the PSD file you want to import and click Place. Make sure the Link option is selected.

**The one time it did not work for me and appeared black was because of shadows (hue/saturation adjustment layer). So I compared the old .psd file, that converted fine, to the current one I was trying got send. One of the differences was the introduction of shadows by duplicating the fonts and image shapes, then merging them to a single image with hue/saturation adjustments. When adjusting the hue/saturation, it appears in a separate layer that was locked to next to image that was just produced. Some reason that was the bug that kept Illustrator from placing the .psd file in Illustrator. The solution was to merge the hue/saturation layer with the image layer. Now it’s back to normal.
Hope this save you some time.

CS4 Cannot place PSD files in Yosomite

Like a LOT of other users, I am working using CS4, a great package and I have always been happy with it and very stable,
and I do not want to update to CS6 as cost is an issue.
Please can anyone answer the question of how to fix the problem of not being able to place psd files in Illustrator as this is causing me
no end of problems with my work.
HELP..............................

Why don't you look into subscribing to Adobe's Creative Cloud? Much less expensive, in the long run, than simply buying a CS6 suite any longer. I had a CS6 suite and, for the first year, only paid $30 a month for a subscription to CC but now I'm paying $50 a month. I still find that price cheaper than purchasing software that will lack the features of the 'newest' products.
No problem placing PSD files into Illustrator dose with the CC versions!

I am having problem in Converting .psd file into HTML site.

here is the screen shot of the PSD which i converted into HTML. It is done with the help of Slice select too. and i got this kind of error in output. so i want a way by which i can transform my psd designs the same way they look in to working website. the template goes other places

Just wanted to correct something you said, simply because beginners are reading these forums and may get confused.
You can not convert any image into an html file. An html file is simply a text file that uses tags that can point to an image file.
Web browsers normally accept jpg, png, and gif files, so you can convert your psd file into one of those three formats and let the html file point to it.
Here are some sites for learning about html and css. Its the latter that can help with your positioning issue.

How can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

how can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

Where are your MPEG stored?
I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

Photoshop cs4 - Can't open .psd files in Bridge

I cannot open .psd files in Bridge, only .jpg and .tif, as far as I know. The .psd files are flattened--no layers. What's wrong?

Generated in PS cs4...always starting with a .jpg, working on it, then saving as .psd.
I open Bridge, navigate to the file I want to work on. The round icon that is for opening files in Camera Raw is grayed out. It IS available for .jpg and .tif files. If I go to the File menu in the upper left, there is no option to open the .psd file in Bridge. If I just click Open, the file will open in the default program I use for quickly viewing all photos (Irfanview).
Thinking also about the reply from 2.rob...
I hope I don't need to designate .psd files to always open in Photoshop in order to get this to work. I have all photo types set to Open for quick viewing in Irfanview, which I like very much. Often I want to look at a .psd file w/o opening Photoshop, which takes a while to load.

I can longer place PSD files into Illustrator. Only jpgs are working. I'm using CS4 and Yosemite. What's up?
