I'm stuck at Lesson 8 ( Classroom In A Book Photoshop CS6)

HI! I'm a beginner in photoshop and starting to learn everything from scratch. In Page 216 where you have to convert paths to selections is where i got stucked. I made the selection and in the operation area of selection dialog box, i selected subtract from selection and i click ok. It prompted 'Warnings: Pixels are not more than 50% selected.The selection edges will not be visible'. I'm not sure why as i followed the steps properly and did this few times. Anybody have any clue? Thanks!

It means that the remaining pixels are present, but more than 50% transparent.
Was your first selection feathered ?
With the first selection tool enabled you can see in the property bar if there's an entry for Feather.

I bought the Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book for CS6 by accident and I have CC. I know, stupid mistake. But I can't take return the book. Is is similar enough to CC that I can still get use out of the book? Thank you so much

Each version of Adobe products builds upon the previous ones. Some things like filters and advanced features may evolve or become deprecated over time, but the basic tools have remained pretty much the same for decades. As long as you know there are subtle differences between versions, I think you will still get a great deal of value from C in a B for CS6.

Question about classroom in a book lesson 11 PS cs4

Hi, In lesson 11 of classroom in a book (Photoshop cs4) is a very little explanation about making a web site in Photoshop (looks like they where in a hurry to finish the book at the end). Did try to make my own web site but the problem I encounter is that when I make different pages from one design and save them in SAVE FOR WEB & DESIGN like home, contact etc. One page is overwriting the last page and the page get corrupted and the web site doesn't work when you click on the different buttons. Is there anybody who knows how to do this? Because the book is not helping here much and the help section as well. Making one page is no problem! I understand the slicing etc. The only problem I have is making a home page with 5 buttons
and 5 pages. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

Thanks! Yes I can work with DreamWeaver write and read CSS and XHTML, but that doesn't help me in understanding this lesson of Classroom in a book, because the lesson is delivered with the rest of the web pages already made and there is only one small example of using "SAVE FOR WEB AND DEVICES". When I try to make more then one page PhotoShop is overwriting the last saved file. So my question is: " can you only save one page"? Or what is the idea?!. When I import the index page in DreamWeaver the code looks like a mess your right about that for sure. And the slices are still all there. In Classroom in a book is no explanation about using it with DreamWeaver in this context and it's the worst lesson of the whole book.
Yes thanks about using sub folders I found that out yesterday by trying, isn't it strange that there is no mode to save individual pages???
Greetings!!!!!

I am new to PS PS6 and purchased PS Classroom in a Book as a primer.
In Lesson 1 (using the 01B_Start.psd example) I am able to type and move horizontal text but when I follow the instructions (exactly as writ!)
to change the text colour, via a swatch selection, the foreground colour and the Optios Bar text colour swatch change, but the text that I typed and then selected to change (per instruction!) does not change from default black.
Can some one help me fix what I am sure is a trivial problem? No tech support over the week-end. The only time I have to do this!
Thank you.

Hi ! Kendall,
Thank you for your response. Your reply was very clear and helpful.
The screen shot you requested is attached.
Using your advice I can change the color of the text I inserted in the
Classrooom in a Book Adobe Photoshop CS6 Lesson 1 lesson (Page 24)
Following the instructions in the Book however, the text I inserted does
not change color.
The Book instructions are:
1. In ther tools panel, select the Horizontal Type tool (T).
2. Drag the Horizontal Type Tool across the text to select all the words.
(When I do this I select the text in a "box" as shown in the Screen Shot
below. It does not "highlight" the text in colour as your methods do.)
3. Click the Swatches tab .... and select a swatch.
The selected colour does appear as the foreground colour and the text
colour swatch in the options bar BUT THE TEXT DOES NOT CHANGE.
Is the book wrong or (more likely) am I making a mistake?
Really grateful for your help.

I am working with ADOBE "Classroom in a Book," with a supplied DVD. I have downloaded all the lessons, and in Lesson 5 I am able to find only (05A) but not 05B, 05C, 05D, and 05E. My disc seems not to have those...only 05A. I need your help?.

QUESTION: I am working with ADOBE 'Classroom in a Book" with the supplied DVD. I have copied all t he Lessons to my hard drive, and have completed Lessons 1-4. However, in LESSON 5, my disc shows me ONLY one of t he 5 examples shown in the book. I see ONLY "05a," BUT not the following which are in the book: 05B, 05C, 05D, and 05E.

See who published the book and contact that web site. There should be a place to download files pertaining to the book.

What do you mean you loaded the lessons? They should just be sample files to follow along with the book. This likely has nothing to do with the issue you are encountering.
Do you get an error message when attemting to launch?

What software is required to view Photoshop CC "Classroom In A Book" downloadable video lesson files from Peachpit? (edited by mod for clarity)

Hi all, I am a brand new student, so what I know about photoshop right now is virtually nill. I have the Adobe Photoshop CC classroom in a book. In the back of the book there is a key code to register your book at Peachpit.com. Upon registering the book, you are given lessons to download. I have done this. My problem is no device on my computer will allow me to view these lessons. I already have windows media player and real player cloud and neither one are allowing me to view these. I've already lost hours of study time trying to figure this out, does anyone out there know what I can do or know what I can download. On the RealPlayer cloud site they said WINDVD was a good alternative, this was not the case for me, it totally wacked out my computer putting me even further behind. Help?

Have you asked the book publisher?

Adobe Premier CS6 Classroom in a Book - Lesson 11.prproj

I bought Adobe Premier CS6 Classroom in a Book and am trying to use the lesson files that are on the CD.
At school, I have an iMac and all the lesson files load up perfectly, whether they are being loaded from the included CD or from the external 7200RPM Firewire 800 hard drive I have.
Yet, when I try to load the same prproj files on my Windows 7 PC, I get a pop-up error that says:
This project contained a sequence that could not be opened.
No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type.
It isn't just happening on one file. Some of the files open, but most of them do not.
Does anybody have any ideas on what I can do here?
An example of of a file that is giving me this problem can be found at:
http://www.JCiTech.net/Images-ForumPosts/Lesson11.prproj

IIRC, the CiaB files are MOV. Is that correct?
Do you have Apple's QT Player installed on your PC, and if so, what version?
Good luck,

Photoshop CS5 Classroom in a book lesson 13

Hi,
Will somebody help me. In lesson 13 of Classroom in a book PS CS5 you learn to make html-files in PS CS5. After creating a file you are asked to pre-run it with Bridge. Rightclick and then open with a browser. I can't open this just made file (html) in Explorer or any other browser. My PS opens and is restricted to Word only..... What is wrong?? Has this something to do with PS or....???
I solved the problem for now by using Dreamweaver (Web-preview) instead but it's annoying....

Hi Noel,
Sorry for my late response, I did the first option. That worked but is not what I like.
The second suggestion you made gave: HTML listed "Windows explorer".
Do I have to change that to Photoshop CS5 or.....
Hope you will help me out here
Albert.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Classroom in a Book Lesson 10

I am unable to use three video clips in Lesson 10. A message with an exclamation mark pops up with "Video layer footage is unavailable'. I am able to work with all still images but these three video images are impossible to open and work on. Pages 272, 273, 276, 277 and several others refer. No problem with anything else in Lesson 10 - just the video layers. PLEASE could you advise me how I can overcome these problems.
Thank you
Jenny

Hi, and welcome to the forum.
While this forum is a good place for people learning the basics of Photoshop, it's not a support forum for the Classroom in a Book.
You might want to ask your question of Adobe Press, which publishes the book. You can find Adobe Press staffers on Twitter (https://twitter.com/adobepress).

Trouble with Lesson 10 in Classroom in a Book for Photoshop CS6

I'm working my way through Classroom in a Book and have hit a snag on Lesson 10 (Editing Video). The problem occurs when I do the Add Media step. As stated in the book, I select the 9 files and click the Open button. However, contrary to the book, the video files do not show up in the timeline. In the layer panel, the video layers have a little yellow error symbol and the tooltip says that video footage is not available. Here's a screenshot:
I've repeated the steps several times and always encounter the same problem. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

First thing that I would do, while gathering the info that Mylenium has asked for, is to check your video driver (Mylenium's suggestion), to see if you have the latest driver for your card. Do this from the manufacturer's Web site, and do not trust your OS to tell you, if you have the latest. Note: if on a Mac, the video driver updates will be applied, when you update your OS - update the OS.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 classroom in a book lesson files "file format not supported" error message

Hey y'all. I have the creative Suite cloud membership and am learning Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have the latest update. I have an iMac, version 10.8.2 and have been going through the lessons 1-8 so far from the 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Classroom in a book' with no problems. So far so good. Then, when I opened Lesson 9 project today, I realized that certain media was off line (see pic below-videos and maps) even though I had been able to open the project. I tried to see if it was a link issue but was unable to select the 'Link Media' option and the system did not give me the option to link media when opening a new project. The strange thing is that I am now able to open some lessons with everything working fine but when I try to open other lessons such as lesson 9 or 10 or 11 I notice media files offline after getting the "file format not supported" pop-up error message when attempting to open a project. It's random as some lessons I had opened previously now give this error message of file format not supported when they didn't in the past whilst others work. I have deleted all the lesson files from my hard drive and reinstalled them from the cd onto my hardrive but the issue persists. Any idea as to why all of a sudden Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is giving the error message "File format not supported"??? when opening the lessons. I have not changed any preferences. I've included some screenshots though I don't know how much help they will be... Is anyone else running into this issue??? Can anyone help???
NEVERMIND. I FOUND OUT ON MY OWN WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IS NOW FIXED. YAY!

Why were you trying to link a file in the project to the project file itself? Shouldn't it be a video file or something? Like .mov .wav .avi .mp4 and not .prproj

Issues loading lessons from classroom in a book

I am having problems loading some lessons from classroom in a book. Some work fine with others I get an error message that says there is a file import failure as the file format cannot be recognised. I have reloaded the lessons from te disc but the problem is still there is there an issue with the disc?
I am new to editing and find this most frustrating.
Many thanks for any help

>.prproj
That is a project file, not a data (video or sound) file
When you copied from the DVD to your hard drive, did you copy with the complete folder structure, to a folder on your hard drive?
If you tell PPro to load a project file, and the various data files are not where the project expects, you may receive an error message
But, I have never worked with Classroom in a Book, so don't really know what the project files need to work

The CD comes with the book and the practice files are not downloadable (AFAIK - but I haven't used the book myself). You need to buy a new book from Amazon if you want the lesson files.

Assets for Lesson 2 in "Classroom in a Book" for Premiere Pro CC?

hey there I'm a rookie and I'm just learning Premiere. I'm using the classroom in a book series and I've come to lesson 2 and the lesson is asking me to import a project sequence from Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer. I don't own either of these programs. should I just skip this lesson. It is quite annoying that the book doesn't just mention that. considering the cost of owing both programs.

I am guessing the project sequences are on the disk.
