Missing RAW editing screen in PSE8 Trial version

Can anyone help me with this one?
I have previously used PSE6. When opening a RAW image I have first gone through a RAW Editor screen before editting in PSE6. When
I open a RAW image in the TRIAL version of PSE8 it takes me straight to the PSE Editor, missing out the RAW editing stage. My camera is an Olympus E510, about 2 years old.
The HELP files clearly show the RAW editing operation so I know the functionality is in PSE8. It seems to assume that the RAW editing screen opens automatically and I can't see what else to do. In desperation I turned on the FILE FORMATS Plug In to see if that would help - it didn't. I need to know there is a RAW Editor that I can use before purchasing the software.
Adobe have told me that they don't support the Trail version and so won't answer my question... Not exactly a recommendation of good customer service if their pre sale support is zero! Their official answer to the above question was that they did not support PSE6 anymore and that I should upgrade to PSE8 Their last suggestion was to ask this group.
If anyone has PSE8 and is prepared to try a .ORF file for me I'd be very grateful. Thanks, Keith

Two problems with PSE8 (trial version)

I have two problems I'm experiencing in PSE8. I'm working in Windows PSE8.
1. I keep going to the drop down menu under "Edit" to the Preset Manager--Brushes. I would like Large Thumbnails. I tell it "OK" but it never changes anything. Am I doing something wrong? It always worked in regular PS.
2. I am totally confused. I am trying to install third-party actions in PSE 8. I found directions for installing in PSE 7, that mentions a folder called "Photo Creations" or "Photo Effects." I can't find any folders with those names. Is it because I have a trial version? Do I put the actions in Plug-Ins?
Help! Thank you.

HI,
Can you please check if you are doing the same:
Go to Edit > Preset manager... > Brushes. There is a small arrow along with More written on the top right corner above the preset bin.
Click on it and select Large thumbnails.
You dont need to press Ok for changing it to Large thumbnails but only select the option from that pop out menu.
For the actions file, the location of those folders changes according to the OS you are using. Please tell the OS to give you the correct path.
Cheers
Swarnima

User with an active Adobe ID on a paid subscription, tries to open InDesign CC and is prompted with a Login screen for the "trial version".

The user had the program open earlier today. But now, she can't open the program and gets prompted with the login screen. I don't want her to login as it mentions the "trial version" of the software. We have a paid subscription.
The application opens successfully on other work stations.
I am running the Adobe CC Installer update on her machine now.
Why did her login suddenly become deactivated?

Fonts went missing when I upgraded from the trial version (mac)

I'd been happily working away in a file using ID CC with no problems whatsoever when my trial period expired. A couple of days later, I purchased a subscription, then opened ID back up and opened up the exact same file.
When I reopened the file, it told me that all my fonts were missing, and it was going to replace them with Minion Pro (no thanks).
I checked fontbook and confirmed that those fonts are, in fact, all installed on my computer. (Even though I was sure they were because I'd been successfully using them shortly before.) I tried uninstalling and reinstalling them. I also tried closing and reopening the document, and shutting down the program, as well as shutting down my computer. Nothing has made any difference. Trying to find the fonts in preflight hasn't helped at all.
The problem is not that my fonts aren't installed, it's that ID stopped recognizing them, even though they are installed, when I switched from the trial version to a subscription.
I haven't found anyone else with quite this same problem.
Any ideas?

I meant do you have a third-party font manager, and I see the answer is no.
And the font's don't appear inthe font list, or Find Font, at all?
If that's the case I might sayt it's time to uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.

Pse8 trial version & scanning b&w negatives

Hello!
I've just downloaded the trail version before buying: I wanted to test if I am able to use my Canon flatbed scanner & pse 8 to scan B&W negatives and then turn them into positives. I want to do this from time to time instead of using contact sheets. I've managed fine with the exception that certain functions are possibly not available in the trial version. My questions are: Has anyone used pse 8 for scanning negatives with success and is there any way I can turn on the functions needed, namely revert to black & white. Are there detailed instructions for this anywhere? Any suggestions much appreciated. (I did find a couple of hints in flickr but they were for older pse versions and while somewhat helpful didn't do the job).

hello & thanks but i've done exactly that numerous times but i am unable to select convert to black and white. it is better described as being "gray" can't click on it as opposed to "black" and available. i am not sure if i need to do something else so i can use it but it's starting to annoy the hell out of me. i've tried many different ways. even read a post in which i should first scan the negatives open in editor copy the image open a new document paste the scanned image go to LAYER then new adjustment layer then invert and then once i've inverted it to then convert to black and white once that is done i can fiddle with the grayscale ect. thanks again. think i'm just going to go back to my old ways...

Trial version interfering with paid subscription

A couple of days after purchasing a pre paid annual subscription I found my storage reduced to 2 GB. When I log into my account plans and products page I see that there are two subscriptions listed. One is the full pre-paid subscription due to renew in 2016 and the other is a 30 day trial. The trial seems to be the active version. I don't know why it is there, I didn't dowload the trial. There is no cancel option under the manage plan screen for the trial version like there is for the full paid version. Has anyone else seen this and/or have a solution?

Converting pdf to excel in Trial Version Adobe XI

I am a newbie, so please no hecklers...
I downloaded the Trial version of Adobe XI, and the download was successful. It did not ask me to register or subscribe to anything else. I opened the pdf file, clicked on Tools and tried to convert to excel. It says "Paid Account" and "Sign Up Now". If I try to save the file as another file type, my only option is pdf. I need to see if this will achieve what I need before paying for it. Have I missed a step in installing the Trial version?

It sounds like you're using Reader, not Acrobat.

Can import project from trial version?

Hi,
I've been playing with PSE8 trial version, and I've created a slideshow project. If I upgrade to the real version, will I be able to import the project I created with the trial version?

Has anyone tried Barbara's suggestion of smply entering serial number without uninstalling the trial version? Is it problem-free?

CS6 thumbnails not taking updates after RAW edit, cleared cache

Cleared cache and changes are appearing in the Camera Raw edit screen, save the changes, clear the thumbnail cache and the changes are not reflected in the thumbnail. This use to work fine in CS4, any suggestions?

If you have Bridge thumbnails set to embedded raw edits will not show. Need to have one of the HQ varieties for this to happen. Can change in toolbar second row right side.

File + Edit menus missing from PSE9 trial version

I installed the trial version of PSE9 and am having a fundamental problem with the Organizer. Various functions require me to access File or Edit menus which, according to the Help file, should be at the top of the screen but they are nowhere to be found.
For example, I want to Move files offline to a CD or DVD. To do that - according to the Help facility - I have to start by clicking on File - Move, but nowhere can I find this "File".
Does anyone here know whether these menus are missing from the trial version of the Organizer ? Or are they hidden somewhere ?

Thanks very much.
When forwarding this to the product management you might mention that this problem was encountered on a Window 7 Ultimate 64-bit system. I mention this because I have discovered the the "Ultimate" and 64-bit versions sometimes behave significantly differently from the other versions of Windows 7. In particular, some of my recently-purchased software has been unable to deal with the 64-bits, possibly because parts of them were written 10 years ago albeit purchased recently.

Troubleshooting raw files on trial version of Lightroom 4

Just downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 4. Am proficient in PS6 but have never used Lightroom. I decided to do a practice run through Lightroom using a folder from a recent shoot..some jpegs are finished and named, some are left alone and I have all the raw files in this folder and expected the entire file of pics to "show" in Lightroom. Only the named finished pics are showing the image and only the raw files are named but "unavailable" to be seen, and any unworked jpegs are not showing at all. As I say I was just doing a practice run on putting Lightroom 4 through its paces so I could familiarize myself with its use. These are files from a Canon 5D Mark III. Help me troubleshoot this please.

Although I'm not entirely certain from your problem description, am I right in guessing that these issues are appearing on the Import Screen when you are initially trying to import that folder? If so, "named finished pics are showing the image" I interpret to mean that for jpegs that you have RE-named from original (every file has a name!) you see the thumbnails in the centre panel of the Import screen, which is what you expect.
Original Raw files, however, do not show the image preview....so what does show, any message at all? For 5DIII raw files you need to be running LR4.1 or later, can you confirm that's what you are running?
Finally, the jpegs which you haven't re-named, and are not showing, I'm assuming these are part of Raw+Jpeg 'pairs' SOOC, is that correct? If so, go to the Preferences menu in Lightroom and check that in the Import Options section of the General Tab you have checked the option to "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". If it is UNchecked, Lightroom will not show you the Jpeg half of such 'pairs', it will simply make a reference to the Jpeg as a "sidecar" file to the Raw, and the Jpeg cannot be separately processed. Check the option, however, and you do get separate files...

My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module.

My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure, highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information reflected in the histogram.
This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to look the same.
Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng to see if this is a work around.
Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X 10.10.1
Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

Happy New Year!
The Develop panel Tone settings in your Dec 31 screenshot show both the Highlights and Shadows controls set to negative values (-48 and -19). For most images (such as this model shot) they should be set to opposite values (-Highlights and +Shadows). To try and duplicate your issue I used negative values for both of these controls with a similar high contrast image. I noticed that the Shadows control becomes non-linear when both the Highlights and Shadows controls are set to negative values. As I moved the Shadows control from a positive value the Shadows clipping indicator comes ON as expected. Moving the Shadows control to a value caused the clipping indicator to turn OFF and moving it further negative caused it to turn back ON again.
The following screenshots demonstrate the issue with only Highlights & Shadows controls applied as shown.
The Highlights & Shadows controls set just to the threshold of extinguishing the clipping indicators.
Moving the Shadows control toward negative causes the Shadow clipping indicator to come ON (as expected), but at-13 it goes OFF again!
Moving the Shadows control further negative causes the Shadows clipping indicator to come back ON at -33.
This is probably normal behavior for the PV2012 Image Adaptive Tone controls as they were not designed to be used way (- - or ++ Highlights & Shadows). The PV2012 Tone controls all interact with each other, which is why it is suggested to adjust them from the Top down starting with Exposure. For most images using -Highlights and +Shadows of near equal value produces good results.
I still can't duplicate the change in clipping indicators after selecting another image, so it may be unique to certain camera models and/or lighting conditions.
SUGGESTION
Try one of the image files that exhibits this issue using the following PV2102 Tone control adjustment procedure:
Start with all of the Tone controls at their default 0 settings and adjust them from the top-down in the order shown below.
Set Exposure to correct midtone brightness ignoring the highlight and shadow areas for now. Setting Exposure slightly higher (+.25 to +.50 EV) than what looks correct for the midtones seems to work best with most images.
Leave Contrast at 0 for now. It’s usually better to adjust this after the first pass.
Adjust Highlights so that blown out areas are recovered and “fine tonal detail” is revealed.
Adjust Shadows to reveal fine detail in dark areas. For most normal images simply setting +Shadows = -Highlights (Example +50 and -50) works very well.
The Whites control sets the white clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
The Blacks control sets the black clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
Now go back and adjust the Contrast control to establish the best midtone contrast
If necessary “touch-up” the controls using the same top-down workflow.
If the issue persists I suggest Exporting an image to DNG file format with the settings that exhibit the issue and post it to Dropbox or other file download site.

Camera Raw 7.3 Update replaced Photoshop CS6 Standard with CS6 Extended Trial version

How do I get back to Photoshop CS6 Standard edition after Camera Raw 7.3 update?
After installing the Camera Raw update photoshop now runs as the Trial version of Photoshop Extended.

I upgraded CS6 and Lightroom 4 today and then when restarting Photoshop CS6 this evening I get a dialog about registering with my e-mail for Photoshop Extended Edition Trial.
I have never owned the Extended edition and did the update from my existing product using the Adobe Update manager. There should have been no reason for this mistake to occur.
I've done upgrades like this many, many times before and have never had my system react this way. You clearly have a bug in your update process and should fix it pronto. Do you know how confusing it is to get a dialog like this? Should I let it register me for a product I don't own? Is that going to somehow trash my legitimate license (now there's the process of activation, I'm always concerned that I'll mess things up and end up unable to use Photoshop until support can help me out)
I'll go find my serial number and re-enter it, but I think this is a serious bug - and will make me much more cautious about waiting to apply updates until I've read the forums to make sure it's safe to do so

PrE 12. How to deal with black screen "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements trial version"?

I'm really considering purchasing PrE 12 and would like to try it out. (I have another video editing software and would like to try this one.)
When I add video, I get a black screen "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements trial version". When I hit play, I can hear audio, but I don't get any video (just the black screen). Is there a work around, a setting that I can change, or is the trial version supposed to show the black screen?

Are my source track indicators missing from my trial version?

I am new to this and have the trial version of Premiere Pro CS4. The first day everything was great and was easy to learn. When the time came to drag my clip from the source monitor to the timeline, the lines for the timeline are present, but the words video track 1 etc. are missing. For the last 14 days, I have been trying to locate the source track indicators. I watched the video lessons, read the tuturials, tried to add new tracks ~ nothing works. Customer Service can't help me and tech support won't because I don't have a plan with them. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help me?

Ok....
I tried to ignore all this but since this seems to be an ongoing contention with some, I need to address the issue. I did not write my question or information blindly. I did take the time to look at the pdf version in the Premiere Pro Help and Support so I would use the proper terms. When dealing with a new product, if what you are expecting to see is not there, it is very confusing. In Chapter 8 pg. 130 it states: "A single timeline panel appears in a frame in the lower central portion of the screen when you first launch Adobe Premiere Pro. It did not in my case. Looking at the diagram, I realized that it was not the same as what I was seeing and I described exactly what was missing to the forum. On the diagram located on Pg. 131, letter (F) points to the video and audio tracks. Pg. 132 the letter (F) corresponds with the name "source track indicators". I explained exactly what happened that I could not drag my clip from the "source monitor." to the "timeline." Sometimes, products are not always downloaded completely, and before I spent anymore time looking for something that's not there, (after 14 days) I came to the forum of which I was directed by tech support. After reading what I originally wrote, I explained to this forum exactly what was happening to me step by step and these were the names associated with my problem. So, at least I made an attempt (which I still don't understand what was wrong with my question) to try to use the correct terms so that I wouldn't waste anyones time. In all fairness, I think you should review some of the responses about things I didn't ask, and something about the word "clip" that seemed to bother someone. Well, that's exactly what I ment to say that I couldn't drag the clip from the source monitor. That term was fine when the video instructor used it. So, now you know where I got my terms from to try to ask a question. I wasn't irresponsible, I tried to find the answer and to get help from customer service and tech support for 14 days before I asked on here. I did the best that I could. Glenn didn't have a problem understanding what I was talking about or providing the proper solution. He also wasn't condescending... he was encouraging ~ which is what a forum should be.
