AE CC is crashing: importing PSDs, brightness/contrast, drop shadow
Whenever I attempt to import a PSD file or apply a drop shadow, AE CC crashes. When i attempt to use brightness & contrast, i get a message like the one below, and then AE crashes. I have crash logs for several of these events that i can post later. Mac OSX 10.8.5, running AE 12.2, 16 GB ram, 2x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors
I'm sure it's a simple fix, i just can't find anyone else on the web who's had this issue. thanks in advance!
No sir. Any one of the events I described above will trigger an AE crash on it's own.
Also, it's not isolated to one particular PSD file. It happens with any PSD file I attempt to import.

InDesign cs6 crashes when exporting objects with drop shadows to interactive PDF
I am using the trial version of InDesign CS6 on a mac OSX 10.7.4 I need to export my document as an interactive PDF. I have found that the export works fine so long as none of the objects within my document have a drop shadow. However, if I add a drop shadow to any object (text, images, or video) InDesign will crash when I try to export. I am adding the drop shadow by selecting the object and then choosing Object > Effects > Drop Shadow. Is there another method I should be using to add the shadow if I want to export to an Interactive PDF?
Hi Peter, thanks for the response. Yes, I have tried creating a new blank project and adding one text object with a drop shadow and then exporting to Interactive PDF, and I experienced the same result. I tried replacing my preferences as you suggested and found that it did not have any affect.
I continued developing my InDesign document without using any drop shadows and began to experience the same type of crashing under two more circumstances. 1. When relinking assets in my Links panel. 2. When exporting to interactive PDF with interactive objects that are being clipped (I get a warning telling me I have clipped objects before I export; when I click export I experience the same crash.) I have tried exporting the same file to a print (non-interactive) PDF and experienced no crashing.
I thought I should mention that I am using a retina display mac book pro with 16GB RAM. Could my graphics cards or the configureation of my machine be causing my issue?
Thanks so much, -
Set default Settings for Brightness/Contrast Slider
I am in the throes of editing several hundred pictures. My camera has a standard tendency toward too bright and not enough contrast. While editing about a hundred pictures in Photoshop Elements 3.0 last night, the brightness/Contrast and Shadow highlight slider suddenly retained the last setting - which GREATLY enhanced my editing efficiency! Alas, today it is back to normal - the Brightness/Contrast slider default is 0 for it's associated sliders and the Shadow Highlight option is again at 50%/0/0 for the three associated sliders.
Is there a way to set a default value for the associated sliders for each of these?
(I had installed Photoshop Elements 5.0 on a trial basis up until yesterday and also have Photoshop Elements 4.0 installed, but it is such a hassle to use, I just gave up on it (and 5.0 has the same issue as 4.0 - no concurrent file browser when editing.))Can't help you with Shadows/Highlights, but you do have an option with Brightness/Contrast. Instead of going to Enhance>Adjust Lighting>Brightness/Contrast, go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Brightness/Contrast instead. Once you've established the parameters you want for Brightness and Contrast, you can open up additional pictures and drag-and-drop the adjustment layer onto each new picture, retaining the settings from the first adjustment. This also allows you to quickly tweak the settings on the succeeding pictures, as adjustment layers can be readjusted ad infinitum.
If only Shadows/Highlights had an adjustment layer option...

Importing a .psd file - getting weird effects with drop shadows!! HELP!
Hi all,
I'm trying to import a psd file as my site and then animate each page.
I have each page set up as a different layer and am importing each page as a movie clip so i can animate each one separately.
The problem is that i have some images on each page that have drop shadows ( i have flattened these in photoshop so there is no longer the blending options layers attached). When flash imports all the layers it obviously has all of them visible at the same time initially.
When i then go through and separate each page to show at different points in the timeline, the images with drop shadows are now showing the image that was underneath it on import, instead of the drop shadow. Difficult to explain, but if you imagine a page with a square in the middle. That square has a drop shadow along two edges which is a slight shading. On a different page (on the layer underneath) there is just a big image of the sea (could be anything). When i import them, the page with the square is sitting directly on top of the page with the image of the sea. I separate these in the timeline so they show at different points, but when it's just the page with the square showing (the page with the sea isn't showing at this point), instead of the nice shading for the drop shadow, in it's place is the thin part of the image of the sea that was initially under the shading for the drop shadow....
Can anyone suggest what is happening and why, and how to quickly fix it in Flash. It took me AGES to import the whole site and all the pages, but now all the movieclips are completely useless because all the drop shadows are messed up with the images that were importing underneath them???!
I'm in a real rush here too, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

Illustrator CS6 crashes using Effect Stylize Drop Shadow. There's a work-around
Illustrator CS6 crashes when using Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow on a regular shape e.g. rectangle created by the Ractangle Tool.
I select the shape, apply the effect and it will crash giving this warning dialog: "The operation cannot complete of an unknown error: [CANT]". Then Illustrator CS6 crashes.
This is the crash report in Windows 7 32-bit:
Faulting application name: Illustrator.exe, version: 16.0.0.682, time stamp: 0x4f6e762b
Faulting module name: MMXCore.8BX_unloaded, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4f44e8d6
Exception code: 0xc0000005
The crash happens about 90% of the time.
Possible work-around:
Since I experienced some strange behaviour of CS6 applications before, I experimented witn running Illustrator as an administrator (elevated privileges). When I do that, I can apply the effect without Illustrator CS6 crashing. Here I go again..elevated privileges (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4432510) .
I have to admit, this is one of the many strange behaviours in CS6 applications that make their performance and reliability very unpredictable.
Cheers,

When will you users on the Window platform learn to repair your permissions the problem when installing any software is that the permissions may not be set properly and this may be caused by the way previously installed software has changed your system.
Because there's no need to do a "repair permissions" thing, that being a bizarre Apple concept. In Windows, the software installation neither "sets permissions properly" nor does previously installed software "change your system" (whatever that means). Windows installation packages run under a special account to copy files into their proper directories without having to "change system properties". It's all done automagically and managed by Windows, not by individual applications.

Like I said, all of that makes no sense on Windows.

I did rename the Prefs, and AI did re-create it, and the SFW problem I described was resolved. Great!, I thought, until I closed AI and opened it again -- Boom! Same problem.
The problems I described happen because software developers (and the Q&A testing teams) have an arrogant attitude -- they think "I'm the King of my computer and, by God, I'm going to run my computer as the most powerful user I can be." So they do all their work under the elevated privileges of an administrator account, and are completely surprised and clueless when their software fails to run under a standard user account. (Always running one's computer under the reduced privileges of a standard user account, by the way, is the recognized Best Practice for safe computing; and in these times it is now unacceptable to require elevated privileges to run an application....)

After Effects CC crashing on importing PSD (ae.blitpipe error message)
Hi guys,
I hope you can help me, Adobe Support couldn't so far.
I recently installed After Effects CC on my MacBook Pro 13" (2012), 16GB RAM, Mountain Lion 10.8.4.
I cannot import PSD files into AE. Everytime I try, it crashes with the following message:
Zuletzt protokollierte Meldung: <140735306359168> <ae.blitpipe> <2> Making New Context
It doesn't matter, what kind of PSD file I try to import. But to be sure, I created a new PSD file, 1920x1080, 72 dpi, RGB, just with a background, no effects, flattened, just that single background layer. It won't import, AE always crashes.
I'm also running After Effects CS3 on that MacBook. Importing PSD files there works perfectly here.
I tried these troubleshooting procedures:
- trashing preferences
- uninstalling every single Adobe Product
- cleaning with the Creative Suite Cleaning Tool
- Reinstalling just After Effects CC (still wont import PSD files at this stage)
- Reinstalling Photoshop Elements 11, creating a new PSD file, still doesn't work.
I don't know what else to do right now. I want to avoid reinstalling the whole operating system because I'm working on projects at the moment (with Final Cut Pro X).

Crash when importing psd (PSL Cache error)
Hi,
When I import a Photoshop file, AE crashes with this alert:
After Effects Alert
Last log message was: <140735304074000>
<SyncService> <4> CheckConnection: 3.
Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes.
I'm following the instructions for lesson 1 in the Adobe book, After Effects CC: Classroom in a Book. The first few steps are to import a group of files. I import the footage files first, then when I try the .psd file, AE crashes.
Here are my specs:
AE CC 2014 Version 13.0.2.3
OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
iMac 21" late 2009
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
12 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB (I installed the CUDA driver on another account of this iMac--should only need to be done once, no matter whose account, right?)
Connected over wifi to a Belkin router.
UPDATE:
I switched my wifi connection to the 5 GHz band and tried again (since some online searches seemed to indicate this error message had to do with TCP) and got a new error when trying to import the .psd file:
<ALOG> <5> PSL AE Interface Cache Cache
created: /Users/[myname]/Documents/Lesson01/Assets/bgwtext.psd.
UPDATE:
Switched to ethernet, got the same <ALOG> <5> PSL message, switched back to 2.4 GHz wifi and still get the same message. I cannot replicate the first SyncService error message.
The Adobe Creative Cloud is connected to the Internet and can download other Adobe applications, however Photoshop Elements 6 shows a "No Internet connection" message when I try to update it. Adobe Acrobat Reader updates fine.

TomI solved it by installing Photoshop CC and opening it up (so that it initialized). I can now import .psd files without AE crashing.

Adjustment layer (Brightness/Contrast) not rendering correctly
So I imported this big PSD file into after effects and everything looks good except this one adjustment layer, it's a brightness/contrast adjustment layer and instead of increasing the contrast in after effects it just turns the layer its suppose to adjust pitch black.
Thought this was odd given PS and AE share the same engine..Yes, they do use the same code bassis, but some PS stuff simply is useless in AE and conversely, there are technical limitations inherent in how some of it works. The new PS Brightness&Contrast uses a weighted formula without making provision for temporal stability, hence it is of no use in AE - you wouldn't want your footage to flicker. The old algorithm on the otehr hand simply applies a dumb linear adjustment and therefore works. Not sure what you mean about smart objects - AE retains the rasterized layer data of an SO and that is all there is to work with. AE has no access to specific custom data that Photoshop uses, which in itself could just be a reference to pasted AI data or something like that. Simple technical limitations to prevent creating "loogic loopholes" and unresolvable cyclic dependencies. For more specific details please refer to the help and adapt your workflow to avoid these dead ends. There is no point in trying to finish everything in PS, if you're going AE, anyway.

Strange Artifacts with Brightness/Contrast Filter
I've applied the brightness/contrast filter to several stills and then on the last 6 frames, I pump the brightness to 100 to create a flash transition. However, on several of these, I'm getting very strange black artifacts after rendering. They appear on the edges of the frame.
They're not there before rendering, so it's not because that's what the image is supposed to look like at 100 brightness.
Has anyone ever experienced this or have any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!
CameronInteresting development. I got a different transition from Eureka! plugins that's basically the same as the Buena one except it doesn't crash my system. Rendered it, and lo and behold! Same problem. The same kind of artifacts show up on the edges. The problem with cropping it is that then I just have to re-render and the artifacts come up again.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Are there brightness/contrast controls in Flash Player?
Dear Anyone.
I use Flash Player to watch streaming content on a bunch of websites. It's great when the video's been well made but on some of the websites it's VERY dark.
Are there TV-style brightness/contrast controls anywhere within any of the Flash Player interfaces, so I can brighten the picture up a bit? Or is there any other way of doing it - the monitor controls seem to brighten the area AROUND the picture, off the screen, not the streaming picture itself.
Yours hopefully
ulrichburkeAs was explained to me, the latest version of Flash Player, with Protected Mode disabled, is the same as version "10.3.whatever," the recommended work-around, in terms of basic security updates.
As Jeromie Clark notes: FROM: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4744651#4744651

To the extent possible, we maintain Flash Player 10.3 with critical security fixes in Flash Player 11.4. There is a functional difference, in that new features are not present.
My concern with recommending people disable ProtectedMode via mms.cfg, is that that preference will persist forever and it's extremely unlikely that the average persons is going to remember to undo that preference at some point in the future. We see sandboxing as a critical component of effectively mitigating an ever-evolving class of sophisticated security threats. We're mostly ahead of the threat curve at the moment with sandboxing, but attackers will ultimately adapt and up the ante at some point. If that day comes and a large population of users has sandboxing disabled, that would be an unfortunate outcome, and something we'd like to avoid. To that end, we've recommended Flash Player 10.3, because it is maintained (but will eventually be deprecated) from a security standpoint, and because it prevents that persistent preference from being set. "
The important thing is to remember to re-enable Protected Mode by deleting "ProtectedMode=0" from the mms.cfg file after installing the latest version of Flash Player. (It can always be added again, as I have done, when the newest version continues to cause problems.)

Brightness/Contrast of an indexed image
Hi all,

I've tried that with the following code:
// Brighten the image by 30%
float scaleFactor = 1.3f;
RescaleOp op = new RescaleOp(scaleFactor, 0, null);
bufferedIm = op.filter(bufferedIm, null);but it outputs:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Rescaling cannot be performed on an indexed imageThanks in advanceJust roll your own: get the color components of the IndexColorModel, rescale them, build a new
IndexColorModel from that and put that together with the original WriteableRaster to form the

Greyed Out Brightness/Contrast onThinkvision
I have a Lenovo LCD monitor connected to my E520 laptop. I decided against my better judgement to adjust the colour settings today and after setting the brightness up to 100% I no longer have access to the brightness control on my monitor. I've tried restarting, but the brightness/contrast button will not respond. Can anyone help?
Some additional info: the brightness button on the monitor no longer works. I can access the settings by double-clicking the screens enter button, but in that menu brightness settings are greyed out. The computer/Windows is not remembering my calibration settings. I adjusted the gamma and colours to compensate, but it forgets after a few cold starts. Several reinstalls of the drivers doesn't help, trying to update the drivers doesn't help. The brightness adjusts on my laptop, but not on the external monitor. The monitor is an L197 Wide, laptop an E520, Windows 7 sp1, all updates and patches applied. I also tried creating a new user account and switching the graphics, no luck there either.

Import error when importing .psd file created in Photoshop CS3
I have a file that was created in Photoshop CS3. I am trying to import this file into Catalyst CS5, but I keep getting an input error. I created a file in Photoshop CS5 and I was able to import this .psd file successfully into catalyst. So I guess my question is this; Does Catalyst support .psd files created in Photoshop CS5 only? If this is the case, how can I convert the CS3 .psd to a CS5 .psd
I am now building my files using photoshop CS5. A few challenges I have experienced while trying to import into Catalyst:
- If I do a straight import into Catalyst, I loose all my colors in Catalyst. That is, catalyst imports all my vectors without any of the colors I had in Photoshop. My understanding is that Catalyst has libraries to support Photoshop files, so your import from Photoshop should not look any different in Catalyst.
Work Around: I have had to rasterize / merged all my image layers for the different components I have built in Photoshop CS5. Then when I start the import process I click the Advanced button on the catalyst import dialog. From the advanced dialog, I have to flatten (to bitmap) all the images I intend to import.
This process takes about two hours because I have a lot of components on the page.
Is there something I'm not doing right here? I'm not seeing the value add to Catalyst, if it's taking me this long to just import .psd files -
I want to change the settings (brightness, contrast, gamma) for my internal cam on Macbook pro. I find having to but a third party software (iglasses, webcam settings) to control basic settings as unnecessary and exploitative. Does anyone have a solution?
It is not about payment of $19.95 (Igalsses) or $7.99(webcam settings). This is a very basic setting that should be available in the system settings. The automatic setting of the internal cam does not work great on low lighting as everyone is aware.
i am just amazed how users take in lying down and suggest solutions such as paying for a 3rd party paid app or improving the lighting in your room. -
How do I save an edited movie with brightness, contrast adjustments
I am using Quicktime pro ver 7.6.4(518.35) and I love its editing features especially the rotation and brightness adjustment features. Is it possible to save a move with these edits so they will be view correct with the basic Quicktime player? I have a movie that I edited the contrast and brightness and resave it as its original MOV file. The new contrast and brightness setting show up when I play the video on the same computer that has my Quicktime pro on it. But, when I play it on another computer with the basic Quicktime player the movie reverts to the original Contrast and brightness. Am I doing something wrong? I even tried to export it to another format and lose the video portion of the movie.
I would hope that I could fully edit a movie save it and give it to my family so they can view it like it was edited. Any suggestions?
Thanks.Ok, after some searching, I found the export filter settings...
However, the exported video appearance does not match that of the source video with similar A/V settings.
Example 1 = Source video (.3g2) with A/V settings, recorded with screen capture software. *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezvE6sUeUb0*
Example 2 = Source video with similar export filter settings (brightness/contrast) *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tQYXWX17zQ*
When the video gets brighter, the brightness dims and when the video gets darker, the brightness increases... contrast settings seemed to be ignored.
All I can say is.. what the HECK?
It's pretty sad when I have to rely on screen capture software to get the desired result! Luckily the source video was taken with a cell phone, so there was no noticeable loss in video quality.
