ACR and my Christmas Project

I know this isn't what ACR was designed for. But for Christmas my wife and I are preparing a photo album of pictures dating back to when we were courting, and when our grown children were just babies. The pictures have been scanned from slides, negatives, and old photographs. ACR has enabled me to do an amazing job of restoration on these images, and has shortened my workflow considerably. I will be glad when the project is finished so I can get back to my digital camera. I think Photoshop CS3 and ACR, with its ability to open JPEG & TIF images, is a real pleasure to use.

Ok figured out that my project was corrupt (idk how) and when I removed it out of iMovie projects folder than the preview box started working again... How confusing.

Colour Mismatch between ACR and CS6

Hi
I have weird issue with ACR and CS6. I process under ProPhoto RGB, 16 bit. When I'm happy with my processing, I then open up in CS6. This is when it get weird, the image that opens up is quite a bit flatter and less contrasty to the version I had in ACR. I've got CS6 as a view a ProPhoto RGB profile. The monitor is an ASUS wide gamut monitor and calibrated with an I1D2 puck using HP's custom software from it's Z-series printer.
I don't experience this problem when I'm using CS6/ACR on my office computer, the only difference is my office machine doesn't have a wide gamut screen.
I've reset my Photoshop preferences and recalibrated my screen. I'm running W7 Home 64 on a Dell Studio 15, i7 laptop.
Any suggestions?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Stewart

Hi,
Those are the settings I'm using, but I expanded to More Options and there was a check box for Compensate for Scene-referred profiles. When I unchecked that, my image went back to what it should have been.
Thanks for the fast reply!
Merry Christmas

IMovie crashed and lost all projects

I just got the new MacBook Air for Christmas and am running Mavericks and iMovie 10.0.1. I have been working on a 20 minute long video for school for the last few weeks until today when my iMovie suddenly crashed and now my projects are no where to be found. I have tried deleting the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist file (but i don't even have that file, mine is something like 'com.apple.imovieapp.shared ... plist)in the preferences folder but that did not do anything. I have also deleted and reinstalled iMovie but still nothing. When I open up iMovie my libraries are there and I can see the video names under the libraries, but there are empty. I can also see some of my events when I click on "All Events". I have done everything I can think of to try to get my movies back. Also, when I go to my iMovie projects folder from my user name in the HD, it is there as .rcproject but it is in a data format. Unfortunately, since it is a new computer, I do not have a time machine backup to recover from. If anyone had any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated! I'm desperate!
Thanks for your help!

If you have iMovie Projects and imovie Events folders in <user name> / Movies, these are from iMovie 9, so I infer that you have transferred them from an old machine and upgraded them to imovie 10.
If this is correct you should still have your projects and events. iMovie 10 stores everything in packages with the extension .imovielibrary. If this has become corrupt you should be able to upgrade them again (they will automatically go into a new library). You will find an empty file with a name something like "updated to iMovie 10" in the events and projects folders. These need to be trashed in order to allow them to be upgraded afreash.

I exited iMovie and lost my project. I am able to find it in Finder, under the Movies tab, but can not get it back to a project in iMovie. Is there a way to restore it?

Please help! I exited iMovie and lost my project that I've been working on for days... I am able to find it in "Finder" under iMovie Projects... but I am unable to open it as a Project in iMovie. I am using iMovie '11, with no time machine, and I'm on a MacBook Pro.

I fully sympathise with you, as I recently experienced the same issue (as have many others).
Projects always appear as normal in Finder in the Home folder Movies/iMovie Projects (or on an external disk at the top level in Movies/iMovie Projects). Nothing looks untoward there.
However, when iMovie is opened again after an editing session, the most recent project worked on does not appear in the listing of projects in iMovie's Project Library - although it is still listed in the Finder folder . This happens for no apparent reason - no unexpected quits, freezes, or crashes, and nothing else out of the ordinary. iMovie is simply not recognizing the project. It can't even be opened by double-clicking on the project in Finder.
Here are a number of links to other topics on this issue (there may be others I've missed):

Sorry to bombard you with all these links, but as you will see there are others here reporting the same problem. No solution has been forthcoming unfortunately.
Be sure to provide feedback to Apple - in iMovie's menu click on iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback, then complete the online form.

Sorting and Grouping in Projects View

In Projects view, when either of two of the three grouping options is selected, there are two sorts in effect: the groups themselves are sorted, and the contents of each group are sorted. These sorts are handled differently, depending on the grouping selected and the sort order selected.
(It appears that there is a bit of the old Apple voodoo in here. The results are arbitrary , but they seem to have been carefully chosen to meet most users expectations. That is to say -- and this is an Apple programming trait -- the arbitrariness is faithful to the expected users' needs, not to logic.)
There are four sorts available, and three groupings
Sorts:
. Name
. Date -- Oldest First
. Date -- Newest First
. Library
Groupings:
. Ungrouped
. Group by year
. Group by folder
So that's twelve possible ways to display Projects in Projects view.
Let's look at a few of them. I'm going to refer to the groups as "Year groups" or "Folder groups" and to the contents of the groups as "Projects". So there is sorting of the groups, and sorting of the contents of the groups (same as "within the group"). These I'll refer to as "Groups sorting" and "Projects sorting".
Sort: Date -- Newest First
Grouping: Group by Year
Result: Year groups are sorted in the same order as Projects. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together.
Sort: Date -- Oldest First
Grouping: Group by Year
Results are as expected; a reversal of the "Newest First" sort, but with the same groups: Year groups are sorted in the same order as Projects. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together.
Sort: Name
Grouping: Group by Year
Result: Year groups are sorted by year, oldest first. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together. Projects are sorted alphabetically, descending.
Sort: Library
Grouping: Group by year
Result: Year groups are sorted by year, oldest first. Projects which span multiple years are put in multi-year groups. Projects with the same spans are grouped together. Projects are listed in the order they occur in the Library structure shown on the Library tab of the Inspector. (Note that this last is literal: a Project named "Aardvark Close-ups" if it's in a Folder named "Zoography" will be listed after all the projects in "Yellow Paintings" and all the Projects in "X-rays, thoracic" if those Projects are in alphabetical order by Folder name in the Library. You can see all the Projects in your Library listed on the Library tab of the Inspector by "{Option}+clicking" the disclosure triangle next to "PROJECTS & ALBUMS" twice.)
Sort: Date - Newest First
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted by date, newest first. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder.
Sort: Date - Oldest First
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted by date, oldest first. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are sorted alpha-name, descending).
Sort: Name
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are sorted alpha-name, descending).
Sort: Library
Grouping: Group by folder
Result: Folder groups are sorted alphabetically by name, descending. Projects are listed in the order they occur in the Library structure shown on the Library tab of the Inspector (see note above). Clicking a Folder's name in the Project viewer drills down to show the sub-Folders and Projects in the clicked Folder (where, again, Folder groups are sorted alpha-name, descending, and Projects are listed in the order they appear in the Library).

+I see those icons but note that those projects in folders will be in different sections arranged alpha, and then date within. Am I correct on that?+
The answer is, it depends.
If "Group by year" is selected, the Groups-sorting will always be by date, regardless of the sort order specified. The Groups-sorting order will follow whatever is specified for the Projects sort order (or default to "oldest first").
If "Group by folder" is selected, the Groups-sorting will always be alphabetical, descending, regardless of the sort order specified. (So if you use Projects view, take care in naming your Folders. Use prefixes if needed to force a desired alpha sort.)
If "Ungrouped" is selected, there are no Groups and perforce no Groups-sorting.
That's all I have to say on this topic (today).

Is there any way to convert video files and keep my project in Final Cut Pro 7?

I am currently editing a project, and have been having multiple issues with freezing while editing. Upon doing some quick research, I learned it is bcause my clips are in the h.264 format, which is not a good editing codec. Is there any way to change the codec of the videos and keep the project I have?

You might need to relink the timeline to the new media. Just take the H.264 files offline, and reconnect to the new media. If you media managed the sequence, it'd relink. But then you are only converting the files used in the sequence, not all your media.

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5
I want to do two-pass sharpening - capture and output - with output capture done just before I print. I do the initial (capture) sharpening in the ACR Detail/Sharpening panel, with Amount slider set to, for example, 100. Then, I open the image to PS CS5 as a Smart Object, and use layers and masks for further editting.
My question is, can I go back to ACR for the final (output) sharpening pass? When I re-open the file in ACR, the Sharpening Amount slider is back to zero, but the other three sliders are still at the settings I used at the start of the process, i.e., the capture sharpening. If I again set the Amount slider to a positive value, then again open the image in PS for printing, will my second pass through the ACR Sharpening panel take effect - will it accumulate on top of the initial sharpening?
By the way, the reason I want do output sharpening in ACR rather than, say, PS Unsharp Mask, is so I can use the Masking slider in ACR, which is much easier than the comparable techniques available in PS. I am aware that some say you should not do any masking for the output sharpening. I'd like to though.
Thanks for ideas.

This is pretty much the way I do it, and I also always found ACR sharpening superior to anything in Photoshop. There is the "sharpen for output" in ACR, but you have little control over it.
The tricky part is feeding the file through ACR a second time. I don't think re-opening the Smart Object will do anything more than you could have done the first time. I do it with a rendered TIFF, and have an intricate set of actions that I run in the Image Processor Pro. It's a mess, and you don't want to know.
The frustrating part is how to action ACR. I just can't figure it out. It'll work, and then I have to change some setting and the action stops working. I suspect you need a script, but so far I haven't found any.
So I've come to a compromise: I first process to TIFF in a temp folder, then I bulk open them in ACR to sharpen, then a second process to finish up.
For less critical files I have a sharpening action that comes close, involving edge masks and blend ifs, using smart sharpen which tends to preserve edges better than unsharp mask, and with less accumulation of noise.
Bottom line: I'm also very interested in further comments to this. BTW, I recently bought Lightroom 4, so maybe there is a posibility using that in a mixed workflow.

Photoshop crashed ,and a default project popped up showing many flash players, I tried to find the file I was working on, and found unreadable files:.lilo,eulaAccepted,initalPingback,Ipoption,userid.Can anyone tell me what these are? Thx

Does anyone know why photoshop would crash and a default project pop up,with a list of flash players.in Adobe Device Central? I also found files I couldn't open ;what format is this: .liloX6UO0q I can't view it. I think it has something to do with my Canon printer, which is a pain in general.THNX!

I did some googling and found alot of topics from you on this issue, to me it simply seems like on of the connectors is broken or loose.

ACR and Smart Objects

ACR and Smart Objects...
Ok, I'm trying to take the plunge into Smart Objects. I want to control localized luminance as well as localized contrast adjustments (using masks in PS CS3) in a non destructive and flexible way. Instead of the usual: bringing into PS multiple exposures of a single Raw image, or bringing into PS multiple bracketed images (landscape) I am exploring the idea of bringing these images into PS as Smart Objects.
I have figured out how to work with multiple copies of a single Raw image as Smart Objects, but can not figure out how to get different bracketed Raw files layered into PS as Smart Objects...
Would someone offer some assistance, if it is possible?
Thank you!

>Would someone offer some assistance, if it is possible?
If you have multiple images (as opposed to multi versions of the same image) you'll need to open each of the images as separate SO's and separate documents, then drag them into one document.

How to display html content with image in Adobe Flash and Flex mobile project?

Hi,
I have a html content with image in it. How to display it in Adobe Flash Builder and Flex mobile project? Which control needs to be used for this?

Hello,
The only current way is to use an iFrame, or if you only need some html tags you could use the Text Layout Framework.
Here this is the iFrame approach:

If the swc do not work in Flex4 just use its ource code which works...

Just imported clips and edited as new project. closed imovie. came back later and the entire project was gone. i was not done so i did not finalize it. how do i get the program to keep my project in progress

running imovie on a powermac w 10.6.8. went through the tutorials. imported my clips, got the hang of basic editing, and created a project.
was pretty happy with it, but needed to shut down and come back to work on it later. when i did come back, the entire project was gone.
how do i get the program to save my work in progress, without finalizing it?
thanks

So, everything worked out just fine!
I have all my material in the ProRes Codec on a seperate drive now. The project itself was kept or rather duplicated, the bin structure etc stayed the same but is linking to the newly created files. The playback and workflow is fluent. I am happy!
Time info: For about 120 GB of material the codec change process took 25 hours.
Thanks for your help!

How do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

how do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

You will need an extra external drive. All moves must be done within iMovie to preserve your links to the projects.
First Move (command-drag) the event to the extra drive. Make sure the project still works.
Then rename, reformat, or repartition your drive as needed. Then, if you want, move the Event back to the newly named drive, again via Command-Drag within iMovie.

ACR And Vista 64 Don't Seem To Get Along

Using the latest Photoshop CS4, w/all updates, Vista 64 / 32gb RAM. I start w/an empty cache, and a clean, separate internal scratch disk of sufficient capacity.
Using ACR, open a folder on my desktop, wait until all the thumbnails are rendered, (the little arrow in the LLH corner stops spinning), select the raw files to open.
ACR stops responding. I have to wait a minute or so, or close ACR and re-open.
I can try to open 2 files, or 10 files, with the same results.
I can't find any settings that affect this behavior. Any ideas ? TIA, Ira

Sadly I have these issues also. The re-indexing of the phone takes so long that it almost never completes during my short drive between home, work & most places I go. Consequently Sync is almost always re-indexing my iPhone. Also about every 10th time I plug the phone in via USB Sync detects a "new" device which is very annoying. I've tried every solution to the bluetooth audio skipping that I've found and nothing makes any difference. I've gone so far as to un-pair the iPhone & Sync (on both ends), pull Sync's fuse to forcibly reboot it, reboot the iPhone, repair and setup bluetooth streaming. Even this rather draconian series of steps didn't stop the skipping. Oddly enough using the phone with Sync via bluetooth works beautifully.
The issues with USB I'm pretty sure are on the Sync end. The bluetooth issues I'm pretty sure are on Apple's end. The most frustrating thing is that Apple doesn't even seem to acknowledge that the skipping problem exists.

IPhoto '11 and previous version Projects missing their linked photos

This concerns iPhoto '11 (9.2.1) running under Lion 10.7.2. Fully maintained.
For the past couple of years my wife has been making iPhoto hardcover books ('projects') using photos from within various versions of iPhoto. Yesterday she completed her latest book and uploaded it off for printing. She then decided to order an additional copy of a book she'd made a couple of years ago, and opened the project file in iPhoto. For a brief moment there was a screen caption saying 'upgrading', and then a message to say upgrading was successful, and please to check book before printing.
So she did - and whilst the pages and layouts were there, and text captions, ALL the inserted photos were missing! All the photos show up in the source list on the righthandside of iPhoto, but none of them are linked into the project book! She checked back into previous books (projects), and other than a couple of recent books, all were the same - the pages, layout and text were fine, but no linked-in photos.
So quitting iPhoto and reopening command-option to get to the maintenance section, ticking all the boxes to examine and rebuild, after a few hours the result was the same - all the past projects were devoid of linked-in pictures!
Worse still - the project she completed yesterday, and had sent for printing, now had some of its photos inserted sideways, or upside-down! Clicking on the photo on the page opens it the correct way around, and not as shown on the page layout!
Going back into TimeMachine and extracting the iPhoto library from 6 months ago, opening it in iPhoto '11 (9.2.1) on a different machine gives the same result as above - the 'upgrading' message, the 'success and check' message, and the resultant unlinked photos. NOTE: once a previous project has been selected from the list, the 'upgrading' process is instant, unstoppable and not undoable.
Do anyone have any explanantions or suggestions on how to resolve these issues?

well....
update this post.....
It's strange.... I have news.... maybe I have the solution but I have to test if I have lost something....
I opened time machine and simply cut & paste Pictures folder from backup to my folder, then opened iphoto with option key .... iphoto check updates on net and download last updates showing a popup that informes me that updating library to last iphoto version I will not be able to see photos with previous version of iphoto.
once updated the software i can see all photos..... now i just have to check if there are all photos and i have not lost anything.....

Accounts Receivable and collections report project-wise

Dear all,
My client wants accounts receivable and collections reports project wise. are there any reports in PS which satify this requirements. If no, pls suggest me how to cater to this requirement.
Pls help me on this issue.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Hi,
If your cash flow scenario is very complex with partial payments, deferred debt, down payments etc., none of the standard reports including FBL5N / FBL1N will be helpful. If the scenario is fairly simple , FBL5N / FBL1N should work for you.
In a complex scenario, you may have develop your own reports based on the basic logic of FBL5N.
