1st LR3 issue. PSD files not retaining star rating on edit in cs4

When editing in photoshop and then saving the psd file lightroom correctly imports the file back in but it doesnt save the star rating back into lightroom... An issue if you edit in filtered mode like I do... as you have to remove the filter, star it and then filter again... LR2 didn't do this...
Any ideas?

I'm getting this too. The reason (for me at least) why this is a major pain in LR3 is because by the time I decide to edit in PS I've done selections using star ratings. So by this time I'm filtering using star ratings.
With this bug, the TIFF/PSD disappears until the filter is removed - as I said, major pain.
I'll use the circumvention but it's a real nuisance.

Why is my .psd file not rendering correctly in ae

Some layers of the .psd document are not rendered correctly. However they are imported.
The strange thing is that when I first move from Photoshop to Illustrator, save it as an .ai file it is rendered properly (in Ae).
I am kind of clueless as to what is causing this issue.
Kind regards,
Jelle

Okay if more information is needed, i'll provide. However you may disregard my initial comment about illustrator. It flattens the photoshop layers so I do not have any flexibility in After Effects. In other words, my main question remains: why is my psd file not rendering correctly in ae?
Further details:
-photoshop cc and after effects cc.
-macbook pro retina
If still not clear enough, please tell me what details you are looking for furthermore

Psd files not updating edited smart objects (PS CC as of 6/3/14)

I created a master PSD file and added four different TIF files as 'linked' (not embedded) Smart Objects. If I edit these linked files (they open when double-clicked, or 'Edit Contents') make changes and then save & close the edited master TIF files, the main PSD file does not reflect the edited changes. If I double click the Smart Object, it opens and shows my edits, but to save & close still does not update the master PSD file. I do this all the time without issue, so I am perplexed. Even if I right-click the smart object and select "Update All Modified Content" nothing changes. Closing the file, restarting Photoshop- nothing updates the main PSD file with the changes to the edited TIF files... EXCEPT if I 'replace contents' with the same file: then it updates the PSD.
Any ideas?

I was actually just working in Illlustrator. Selecting the vector object and then select PS and Paste. I'm then asked if I want this to be a smart object. I select yes and it adds the object as a smart object layer. If I double click the layer it opens it in Illustrator, I make a change, save it and close it. Then back to PS and the smart object doesn't update.
I haven't used Place Embedded or Place Linked. I don't understand what those functions do. It's just not how I'm use to working.
Actually I have a large PSD doc. Inside it is a group of objects that I have turned into a Smart object. Inside that (by double clicking) is an AI file that is also a smart object. When I open that up to make a change it won't update once I save and close.
I have tried a coulpe of test with placed Linked and Embedded objects and I can't get those to work either. So what ever the change was. So far not really liking it.

X2-02 camera issues - .nrw files not converting to...

I've got X2-02 and am experiencing the same problem on this link: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Cseries/C2-02-camera-issues-nrw-files-not-converting-to-jpeg-files/m...
I tried all of the tricks mentioned and nothing became fruitful in converting the files to jpeg (viewable on PC).
Anyone who has a solution to this, kindly post it here...!

imranshahab,
Welcome to Nokia Discussions!
Try this online image convertion site: http://bit.ly/1dyiDQm
Or try sending the .nrw files to another bluetooth capable phone and see if it does convert the file to jpeg after receiving it.
Good luck

I have lightroom 5.7 and a macbook pro 10.9.5. Occasionally when I am editing a photo in the develop module, I suddenly get a "file not found" message and the editing ceases to work. There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library

I have lightroom 5.7 and a macbook pro 10.9.5. Occasionally when I am editing a photo in the develop module, I suddenly get a "file not found" message and the editing ceases to work. There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library module or on the photo in grid view, and the histogram is gone. What is going on? Trying to find it using the "find missing photos" in the library menu does nothing.

Add layers from other psd file and retain text layers (Batch processing)

I want to batch process a large number of portraits adding text info from the filename (year_name_number.jpg) to existing text layers. I want to make a template psd file containg the correct labeled text layers formatted and adjusted (With bleding effects and more) How can i add layers from an other psd file to the active document and retaining the text layers editable. The place command in PS5 adds the file as a smart object, no use.
Any ideas?
I tried the combined action/script way, but no joy so far. Right now i am making the text layers with a action, then calling the script from the action. It works but its difficult to make different templates from adjusting a action.
The code i am using now (in combination with a action creating the 3 text layers and other grapchical elements)
var docRef = activeDocument;
// strip the extension off
var fileNameNoExtension = docRef.name;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "_" );
if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {
fileNameNoExtension.length--;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join("_");
var myString = fileNameNoExtension;
var mySplitResult = myString.split("_");
var textLayer = docReflayers['Year']; // define the existing text layer to a var
docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var T1 = textLayer.textItem;
T1.contents = mySplitResult[0]
var textLayer = docRef.layers['Name']; // define the existing text layer to a var
docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var T2 = textLayer.textItem;
T2.contents = mySplitResult[1]
var textLayer = docRef.layers['Number']; // define the existing text layer to a var
docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var T3 = textLayer.textItem;
T3.contents = mySplitResult[2]
Thanks

Here is my intended workflow:
- A set of same size portraits labeled "year_name_number.jpg"
- A template.psd os same size with graphical elements and text layers (named "year", "name" and "number")
- A script or action copy/pasting og adding all layers from the template.psd file to the open portrait file, retaining text layers editable.
- A script (The one i have working) changing the text layers added from the template to text from the filename.
- A action saving this as a PDF ready for print.
This way i can process a large number of portraits, add names and other information and save it as a file ready for print.
I can image it is much easier to edit a template than writing a script or an action creating all the graphical elements.
And even better, to change this template for different customers/departments/logos.
Basically i need a way to add layers to an open file using a batch file or script.

OK I understand what your trying to do and now I do not agree with your conclusion you made in you first append about place being no good for you. Its is I think a perfect solution for you. I feel you need to address the process from a new angle.
I am very familiar with templates I use them all the time for collages which I populate with an actions. However I do not batch this process and my process is interactive. If you look at what your trying to do from the angle of creating a collage. You will see what you are trying to do is automate the population of a single image collage using a single template in a batch process. An example of one of my single image collage populated by one of my actions that has been saved as a jpeg image file. My actions are played in Photoshop with no document opened. After my action is play there is a single collage document in Photoshop that contains layers that can be tweaked all text is in text layers the can be edited.
If I wanted to automate the batch population of a single collage template I think all I would need to know is three thing.
1.) The location of the input images
2.) The full Path of the PSD template file.
3.) The location to store the output file
Looking at some of the recent threads in this forum I could almost cut and past the script you want to put together. There was a recent thread that had javascript code to process files in a folder and process only a list of file types. There also was a thread that had a place function in it to place images into the current document or create a new document to place the image into. The image was read from the web using a URL. This thread has code to change a text layer. At first I though you may need to open these image file to get at its meta-data to get the Portrait image Exif creation data. But see all you need is the Filename for it has the data you want the year and name. So the function that get the image files from the folder will give you that. The Script needs to Open the Template PSD file and retrieve the prototype text layers text content then the scrip needs a loop that get the next image file to be processed from the folder get filename function. In the loop the image files are place into the open template above a place holder layer like the Background layer. Then using the prototype text contents and the filename are used create the new content for the text layer and then change the text layers content to it. Follow that up with a save as for the output file. Once the output file is saved delete the placed smart object layer. When this loop ends the script will close the document with no save and end. As for the three inputs you need the script could either have a dialog like the images processor or simply prompt you for the folders and template file.

Bulk save as psd file not saved with Maximize Compatibility selected in preference

I want to do a "bulk save as" for psd files that were not saved with Maximize File Compatibility selected in Preferences. I'm trying to import those files into LR5 but I get an error message. Or is there a work around for resolving this issue? I have both PS CS6 and PS CC. Also Bridge for both. I've just subscribed to LR5.

LR does not support Layers, PSD files may have layers so you may have a problem using LR to do what you want to do.
Set your Photoshop Preferences to always save with Max Compatibility.
Record a save action one step menu File>save.
Then use Adobe Bridge menu Edit>Find to find all your PSD files.
Then select all and use menu Tools>Photoshop>Batch and if your lucky and don't catch an Adobe Bug Photoshop will start and the Batch dialog will open, You can the set the Save Action Set and the Save Action all the PSD selected in the Bridge should open and saved.
I cancelled the search short here the search for all psd files could take a very long time and did not run the batch.
You will have a better chance not catching an Adobe bug if Photoshop is not up and running when you use the here. Bridge may try to start a different version of Photoshop then the one running when you use menu tools>Photoshop>Batch. Bridge CC was updated to start CC 2014 there is no bridge CC 2014.
This site scale image poorly you can scale them if you view them in a new tab or window.

.psd file not working with Motion 5

I have a .psd that doesn't want to work with Motion 5. Every time I try and import it, Motion says that it's not a valid codec. I can't figurt out what's going on, all my other .psd files seem to work.
Yes, I'm using RGB colors not CMYK (that is the onne known issue thus far).
I'm just totally at a lose. Here's what the console says, if anyone has any insight, I woudl appreciate it:
6/27/11 1:12:55 PM [0x0-0xb50b5].com.apple.motionapp[1326] CPSDSlicesResourceItem::Load(): unsupported slice resource item version (8)

I'd be happy to email one of them to you if you'd like. Or give it to you in some fashion at any rate. I'm not seeing this problem pop up anywhere else on the internet, so I'm guessing it's just me. But it would be nice to check with another motion user.
Email me at jay <no space, just keeping the bots guessing> carr <at> gmail <I'm sure you can guess> com.
It certainly would be nice to see what happens when I give it to you. I'm having some very significant issues with PDFs and can't figure out why...

Opening PSD File - Not Enough Memory

I created a sequence of images from Particle Illusion in a PSD format. When I open one of the images in Photoshop (CS3), it opens - no problem. When I try to open it in Illustrator CS3, I get the message "Not enough memory to place the file".

On Windows XP 64, opening PSD files with Illustrator CS3 does not seem to work.
What you can do to resolve this issue is to save the file as PNG in Photoshop. That can be opened in Illustrator and transprency is preserved.

Creation of previews/thumbnails of PSD files not working in v3.0.1

I'm using Aperture 3.0.1, PS 4 to edit photographs.
My workflow will be the usual, Photo > Edit with Adobe PS, in my Aperture browser thumbnails/previews will be created for the PS file.
When I save my work in PS, the thumbnails and previews in Aperture are not being updated properly, show horizontal magenta/cyan lines, noise, clearly some of the layers are not being processed, some layers are not being resized to the right preview format, it's a complete mess.
I tried to delete/update previews, no difference.
It's an absolute shame, this worked perfectly in Aperture 2.1 and is absolutely necessary in my workflow. I'm seriously thinking to go back to 2.1.
Anyone with suggestions to get this working? Thanks

Having some similar problems and unfortunately some different ones as well...
I would love to know any tips you might have in identifying the "faulty" PSD files that Aperture 3 cannot deal with or more like the the PSD files that FAULTY Aperture cannot deal with (they worked fine in 2.1.4, Preview, iPhoto, etc).
I ask because the problem I have is that as soon as I hit one file that never finishes generating a thumbnail for, then I am done since everything else just queues up behind it and I can't diagnose anything else. As I said in an earlier post, HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO INCLUDE USEFUL DIAGNOSTIC INFO IN THE "ACTIVITY WINDOW", so that we could tell which images are being "processed" (or more importantly not being processed).

PSD files not importing properly into AFX CS5?

I'm having a bit of trouble with After Effects CS5 and Photoshop CS5 .psd files.
Basically I've got a few images that I want to import into AFX as .psd files but when ever I do, all the images show the exact same image, yet when I open them in Photoshop CS5 the image that I made is there so I know I haven't saved over my files.
This occurs wether importing as multiple files or singular. I click the Photoshop sequence option as well as clicking the composition - keep all layer styles.
What am I doing wrong and why aren't my images showing up as individual images but rather all of them being the same one image regardless of what I've imported?
Do I have to import as footage rather than composition?
Thank you and hope that made sense, if not, please ask me to explain as I need to fix this quite fast.
Thank you.

Thank you for that.
I've just been importing them as footage and that seems to be working fine as well.
I shall try without the Photoshop Seqeunce ticked.

When is a .psd file NOT a .psd file?

As a result of leaning how to make a mask, I discovered that I could also paste directly from the net into an AI page. It's the "saving" that costs the question.
My reviewer, who checks out my design ads and brochures does not like .psd's to be "Placed" in my Ai files althought the printer couldn't care less. So, I tried to outfox that by copy'paste from the .psd file into AI, and then saving that as AI. Fine. It's an AI file, but in the LINKS, it's still called a .psd even though it was not "placed".
If I printscreened something, like a portrait of Handel into PS, and then moved it to AI and changed it from black to green tones as a .ai file, Links now calls it "unknown source." I give up. I've done some complete changes, like making a ps image a different color by outline and fills in Ai, and only then will it be an .ai file---ha, sometimes! I've tried that with other images made in PS to AI and it was still called a .psd.
Now, I thought CS4 was supposed to be more user friendly to raster images.....so why isn't it?
You know, it's difficult tryping to please 2 different people...........................m
p.s. Why is it so difficult to get a curser into a paragraph and be easily moved with a mouse? Just curious....

Pardon the long absence----been sick.....
Your're right Scott. Perhaps I'm trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I really thought the extension was the important change, but I see it's just a "wrapper" as you suggest.
I didn't know about, or had long forgotten, the right/click/ embedded aspect---I don't think I ever did that. I would just send the Links info burned into the disc the printer would get. If I did this, would my dear reviewer be able to see the images instead of little empty boxes she complains about? I'd gladly try that to please her.
Then, for the printer, (please pardon the ignorance) the file burned would already contain the embedded files or should I still burn them as a separate part of the file? Appreciate the help.

16 Bit PSD Files Not Compressed

Something that's not new, but that I've not really noticed before...
Image compression in Photsohop CS6 doesn't seem to be effective on a 16 bit PSD when Maximize Compatibility is turned on.
For example, with Maximize Compatibility set to Always, if I create a new file 6144 x 4096 pixels x 16 bits/channel with a pure white background, and add a single text layer that says "This is a test", then save the file, it's 144 megabytes. Zipping that same file into a .zip archive results in a massive reduction, to 245 kbytes.
Sure enough the saved file size goes down if I set Maximize Compatibility to Never. But even that can be hugely more compressed by zip (down to 88 kbytes).
This implies the failure to compress is happening on the flattened preview.
If I change to 8 bits/channel and save that same document either way it's about two and a half megabytes, differing only a couple hundred kbytes between Maximize Compatibility Always vs. Never. In this case, apparently the flattened preview is being compressed nicely.
These are my file handling preferences. Note that I do NOT have [ ] Disable Compression checked.
Doing a bit of spot testing, I believe this is nothing new - it has been the same in recent past versions (e.g., Ps CS5, CS4). I've just never noticed that saving 16 bits/channel data yielded such huge files (because I always diaabled compression anyway), but apparently it has been the same all along.
No problem here - this is just a curiosity to me, as I have a fast disk array and these saves are all quick enough. I choose the "Always" maximize compatibility setting because I have a viewer (IrfanView) that I use for quick previews that won't read files saved with Maximize Compatility disabled.
I suppose it does beg the question: What prevents Photoshop from doing the Flate compression on the flattened preview in a 16 bits/channel PSD file? Was there an old version that couldn't decompress such files?
-Noel

Thanks. That makes sense, especially considering 16 bit data is really 15 bits plus a hair, so an all white background would look, to an RLE compression scheme, like (in hex) 80 00 80 00 80 00 etc. - i.e., be incompressible.
Is there any kind of compression you could invoke that would work in recent versions of Photoshop? I'm imagining a "More Compatible" setting, which could give decent compression for a 16 bit file but not necessarily be "Completely Compatible" with everything ever made out there.
I need to ask the author of IrfanView if he's working on a multi-layer PSD decoding scheme. I know there are people who have done it (the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack provides previews and thumbnails for Maximize Compatibility: Never files, for example).

PSD Files Not Updating

I am still having trouble with Lightroom recognizing PSD and some other updated files. All filters are off. I did the work in Bridge because of similar issues I've had with LR updating files. Now I just want the PSD files to show up so that I can use one of Lightroom's web galleries to show a client. But only one PSD file shows up, and it's a reject that is in another folder.
I've tried quiting and relaunching several times. I've also tried moving the PSD files to new folders. Is there anything I can do to make this work right?

Among other things PSDs have to be saved in PSCI with 'Maximum Compatability' set.

.psd files not opening

I use Photoshope Elements 9 to do scrapbooking. My desire is to us Dropbox so I can work on my laptop or on my destop. All of my photos are on my laptop.
I moved some .jpg files, .mob files, and some .psd files to dropbox off of my laptop. When I tried to open them on my desktop, the .jpg and .mov files were fine. The .psd files opened the Photoshop Elements 9 program, but gav me the following message, "could not complete your request because Photoshop Elements does not recognize this type of file."
Since the file was made in Photoshop Elements 9, I'm wondfering why it won't open on my desktop when I send it by Dropbox.

It’s possible DropBox uses versioning or some form of compression on PSD files if they are a large size.
