Adobe CMM and Photoshop CS4 File Info problems

I installed the Adobe Color Management Module several days ago.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
Today when I opened the File Info dialog in Photoshop CS4,I got a blank black window. Same went for the Kuler window and other extensions under the Window menu. Other panels such as the palettes and toolbox were fine.
I went through reset prefs,reinstalled PS,and reinstalled my video driver.
Same problems.
Uninstalled the Adobe CMM and the panels returned to normal.
I don't know exactly what happened,but something this forum should know about.

Chris,I downloaded and reinstalled the CMM and the problem repeated.
File Info: blank, as well as the Kuler, and Connect extensions under the Windows menu. Additionally,any custom panels installed via Configurator also went blank.(although I had uninstalled those on my first round of troubleshooting)
Again as soon as I uninstalled the CMM,I got the File Info, Kuler, and Connect windows back.
This is on a Toshiba A205-S5843 running Vista SP1
I also tried the CMM on a Toshiba A75 (Windows XP)with a trial of CS4 Extended. There were no problems on that configuration with the CMM installed.
I don't know what it is,but thought it should be passed along.

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

Bug reports should go in the main forum.
And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.

File Info problems in Photoshop CC & CS5.1 on OS X 10.8

I have recently upgraded my Macs, running OS X Mountain Lion, from Photoshop CS5.1 to Photoshop CC for two reasons:
1. Because it most the most cost efficeint way to obtain the latest Camera Raw plugins that are no longer supported in CS5.1
2. Because I began experiencing issues on two Macs where initially only in Bridge, was I no longer able to input any File Info dialogue.
I make extensive use of File Info templates, which are then applied to batches of files in Bridge before individual files, or groups of files requiring the identical metadata are modified.
After a time, once the overall batch of File Info templates had been applied to files I discovered that I was unable to edit them further. Even after Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility it usually took a reboot to fix the problem, although the problem was always solved.
However there came a point a few weeks ago when I was unable write any further metadata to File Info, in Bridge or Photoshop, no matter what I did. Again this issue happened on two Macs so I'm guessing that it is not a machine issue.
As I needed the latest Camera RAW plugins as well I decided to upgrade to Photoshop CC, which I have to say I have been very pleased with - until now. The dreaded File Info problem has now occurred again, although currently only in Photoshop, not Bridge. When I try to add or modify any information in File Info in Photoshop CC the dialogue box just closes!
Clearly it is not just a Photoshop CC issue although I never had the problem prior to CS5.1 and I leapfrogged CS6 and I find it hard to believe that it is a machine issue. Could it be a conflict with the OS or with Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4?
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Curt, Thanks for your rapid response.
To answer your questions. I thought that, initially, the problem might be a permissions problem but it occurs on both boot drives and also when the same files are copied to Firewire external drives - on both Macs, but different external drives in each case. I followed your link but there was nothing there that I didn't already know or hadn't already tried, thanks.
One computer is a 24" iMac and the other is a 15" MacBook Pro. I've also tried to replicate the problem on four PowerMac G5s running OS X 10.5.8 with Photoshop/Bridge CS4, with the same drives plugged in, but have experienced no problems at all. It's quite bizarre.
Also, looking deeper into the conundrum, I find that I can't input any numbers, only letters! Using the keyboard all numbers, whether on the main or auxiliary keypads, cause the File Info dialogue box to either jump to a new tab or close. Using Shift on the numbered keys works perfectly however!
It just goes on getting better...

Keywording problem in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4

I'm experiencing a problem with keywording in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4. When i export a batch of photos that were keyworded in LR to the desk top then open a photo in PS I find only one keyword when I look through the "file info" menu item. Any ideas on how I might resolve this problem or what I may be doing wrong.
Many thanks in advance.

Make sure that you have the keywords setup so that they will export. You can check by right clicking on a keyword in the Keyword List panel and choosing Edit Keyword Tag. The dialog shown below should open and should see a checkmark against Include on Export and Export Containing Keywords. It's fairly easy to get this wrong when working with hierarchical keywords.
Also, you can configure the Keywording panel so that it shows which keywords will be assigned when image is exported.

CS4 File info dialog very slow to open and respond.

CS4 File info dialog very slow to open and respond. Every click or or key stroke takes more than 1 second to record. I have try multiple changes in the performance preferences and nothing has an affect. This is the only dialog box in the program that has the problem. The problem started when I uninstalled and reinstalled because of problems with the program freezing. I have changed every setting in the preferences performance section back and forth including 3 different amounts of memory usage (lo hi and recommended) restarting PS every time and nothing works. I would appreciate any help, keeping in mind that there have been no changes to the PC and it worked fine for a long time (approx 1/12 years) previous to the reinstall.

I've been having the same problem now for a few weeks and its killing me. Not sure what I can do, but in Photoshop and Bridge, the only programmes I use on a daily basis, it takes me forever to enter file information.
My specs are:

I'm running Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4 and can't open or import NEF files from a Nikon D600

Need help understanding why the NEF files created by my D700 work fine in both Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4, but the same file format created by a Nikon D600 keep getting a unkown error when I try to import or open them.

You can either upgrade Lightroom or use Adobe's Free DNG Converter to make a backwards-compatible file for LR 2.x to read. New camera support is only effected on current versions of LR and Adobe Camera Raw and your version(s) do not support the D600.

Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters?

I recently tried to install Adobe CMM, as a pop-up window suggested after I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new computer, running Win7x64 Ultimate. Before trying to install CMM, my Akvis Sketch Plug-In for Photoshop worked fine. Afterwards, Akvis Sketch runs under the filters menu, but will not accept mouse clicks from my Wacom tablet. Prior to Adobe CMM, all was fine. Somehow, the frustrating attempt to use Adobe CMM broke links to Akvis Sketch.
By the way, Adobe CMM setup tried to run and vanished without a trace - no indication of success or failure. CMM doesn't show on my control panel as installed software, so I can't de-install it.
I did un-install Akvis Sketch and re-install it. No luck as a filter, nor as a stand-alone program.
Additional point of interest - a second identical software/hardware workstation continues to run Akvis Sketch just fine because we didn't try installing Adobe CMM on that machine. It certainly looks like CMM is the culprit here.
Since Akvis Sketch is broken as a stand-alone, I doubt that de-activating, uninstalling and then re-installing, re-activating Photoshop CS5 will help, but it will take a lot of time to recreate actions and re-install other add-ins, plus preferences settings.
Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters, and have you found a work-around?

Thanks for your response. Recent evidence points to Wacom's tablet driver, not the plug-in.
Fact #1 - another identical system with ms mouse worked fine so I swapped out the Wacom tablet and bingo, the Akvis plug-in works again.
Fact #2 - So does Amazon's Kindle for PC app, which also quit working after running the Adobe CMM setup I'd downloaded.
Suggestion - since there's a legacy for CS5 users getting the "you should download CMM" pop-up, yet no need to do this, maybe Adobe should remove the CMM download page from its website - or flag this download as unneccessary for photoshop users. All Best, Charles Pierce.

I am trying to update Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS6, because it is not opening my CR2 files taken by my Canon 6D. I have tried to go to help > updates, and the software says that it is "Up to Date". However, if I view the plug-in, it says that Camera Raw is only version 7.1. I can not find a direct download for Camera Raw 7.3, only the DNG converter, NOT CAMERA RAW! Please Help!

Did you fix your issue? I am having the same one

PS CS4 "File Info" Forms - Clearing "Suggested Words"

My photographer friend uses PS CS4 on a Mac book.
She asked me if I knew how to clear the 'type-ahead' or 'suggested' words and phrases that show up in the PS CS4 'File Info' forms. She has some typos
in the list of suggested words and she would like to delete them.
I sat at her Mac for about an hour and I could find no way to get rid of unwanted suggested words in the File Info forms.
For example, in the Description Form, in the Author field, she types the first letter of her name and a list of suggested phrases comes up. She has misspelled her name several times and these mispellings are higher in the list than the correct spelling, so she has to go down the list to find her name spelled correctly.
Is it possible to delete or clear all the previously-entered words and phrases?
I have played around with my Win 7 CS4 and I tried renaming and then deleting one by one all the XMP files I find in my folder User/AppData/Adobe but the suggested words and phrases I have used previously still show up when I type something in a file Info form in a new image. I closed CS4 each time I renamed or deleted an .xmp file.
Thanks, Bill

Not sure if this might help, but try it and please report back (these steps fix problems in some odd situations.)
Open the fmb on a computer where it will open ok.
Do a pl/sql Replace All, replacing all semicolon with semicolon. (That just forces the Forms Builder to remove embedded compiled code.)
Save and close the form (without recompiling anything). You may notice the fmb size is reduced.
Then try opening the fmb on the other computer.

Why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option now?

Hi,
why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option for saving .png in Save As diolog box now? It was working fine until yesterday. Neither I can open a .png file nor save my psd file to png file?
Please help. I am using Microsoft Window XP Professional and Photoshop CS4.

In Photoshop CS4, .png open/save support was provided by a plug-in. It is possible the plug-in has been deleted or moved, or has become unavailable to Photoshop because of a change in file protections.
Do you have the file PNG.8BI on your system. It should be here on a 32 bit Windows system:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats\PNG.8BI

Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, why?

Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, it is a problem with the text font Futura T-Bold. How to open it on Illustrator?

I downloaded the file, and:
It is not a Photoshop PDF.
I get the same result attempting to open in Illustrator; mangled font substitution. That's because I don't have one or more of the exact fonts used in the document installed on my computer, and I suspect the same is true of yours.
The fact that it opens without issue in Reader and Photoshop is essentally meaningless, (or at least it's not an inidication that it also should open without issue in Illustrator, which is what your original post seems to imply). Reader displays the correct fonts because subsets of them are embedded in the PDF for use by Reader. Photohop just rasterises the whole page, so there is no font data needed.
If you had the fonts, you wouldn't get the substitution in Illustrator. It works that way for any PDF.

Adobe Reader and Photoshop extensions default to preview in Mountain Lion.

My pdf files and all my images that I have designated to Adobe Reader and Photoshop in the "Get Info" window of these files... continually Default to Preview after a few days. This must stop... I never had this issue in Snow Leopard or Lion! Yes... I do hit the "Change All" button each time. Apple and Adobe seem to be at WAR over Preview, and we are payng the price!

For Adobe Reader, try deleting the application, downloading it and reinstalling. I just did this and the first time I opened it, I was asked if I wanted to make it the default.

Batch File Info problem: (CS3)

As was the case with CS2, when in bridge adding file info. to multiple files, the data entered within Copyright Notice, Copyright Status and Copyright Info URL is shown as entered and correct when checking back the file info. within Bridge - However, if one of those files is then opened in Photoshop and the file info. is checked, the data entered is either incomplete or simply not being shown.
This occurs when working working on TIFFS. When working with JPEG it does not.
Process:
1) Bridge - Adding file info.
- Select multiple files.
- Right click > File info
- Enter file info. data.
- Click ok.
2) Bridge - Checking file info.
- Select one of the files file info. has been applied to.
- Right click > File info.
- Check info. panels for correct data.
- All appears correct and as entered.
3) Photoshop - Checking file info.
- Open one of the files file info. has been applied to.
- Check file info:
i) Having chosen Copyrighted as the option within Copyright Status, now appears untouched and defaults to Unknown!!
ii)Data entered within Copyright Notice appears incomplete, showing only the first sentence and a half. (i.e 22 words, 107 characters (no spaces) 128 characters (with spaces))
iii)Data entered within Copyright Info URL does not appear.
I figured this would have been sorted for CS3?!
For me this is a really major issue, your assistance and a fix are desperately, desperately needed.
Kind regards
Will

I am using Vista, but have no problems with opening File Info on multiple files.

Recommended hardware configuration when using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop

Hello!
I am an Illustrator who uses Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop most of the time. Today I am using Adobe CS5.5 suite and is thinking of getting the Adobe CC. As my computer today is abit old and "tired", I am unsure about what to focus on when updating my hardware?
I am using today a HP workstation with following hardware:
Software:
Windows 7
Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5
Hardware:
Processor:              Intel i7-2600 3,4GHz
Internal memory:     8,00 GB DDR3
Disc drive:               500GB SATA disk 7200rpm
Graphics card:        NVIDIA GeForce GT 1GB
Since I work both with Technical Illustrations with loads of anchor points in Adobe Illustrator, I get sometimes error messages like "Out of memory" and such. I read about having two discs, one system disc and one work folder disc, that would solve that problem. But I am also working alot with large illustrations for comercial and advertising situations and I feel that it tend to get a bit slow, especially when I add gradients and blendmodes to an illustration.
So If I could get som recomendations of what to focus on to boots the speed in my system, also taking into account that my budget is somewhat small, I would really appreciate it!
Best regards
Ulf

I have similar setup to yours.
From my point of view you need more RAM. I have 16GB. Than you will need to change in preferences to adjust memory used by PS and Illustrator. Maybe take a look at virtual memory in Windows and disable aero effects.
Disk. It is better to have one disk for system (eg.SSD) and one for documents. But don't buy something like WD Green series that is intended for backup.
Graphics. It is not a major player I think for your tasks, but OpenGl can speed up rendering in Photoshop and Illustrator.
When exporting AI with layers to PSD it will always show "out of memory" unless you turn off anti aliasing.
and the most important thing reinstall Windows after some time... It will work faster.
