Aligning Guides Glitch With "Use Preview Bounds" Checked

I recently noticed in the Preferences that there is a check box option for "Use Preview Bounds" in Illustrator.
When checked, effects such as strokes and all will be clickable and transform sizes will be based on the "preview" bounds of an object.
However convenient, the option poses a problem for people who like to align guides to their artboards or even distribute them.
If you try and align guides to your artboards using the "Align" panel, weird things occur and it does not do so.
If you try and distribute multiple guides using the "Align" panel, the guides don't do anything.
This is something that should be addressed and fixed in future versions of Adobe Illustrator.

In case you're going to do an official bug report, you might want to mention that this bug has been there for at least one decade …

Premiere Pro CC not using previews on export

I'm using PP CC on a decked out iMac(i7, 32Gb RAM, 14TB RAID, internal SSD) and my exports are very slow even when "use previews" is checked. Thing is, I don't think PP is using those previews. During the export I can see that aerendercore and importerREDserver are running. The sequence is already rendered so it shouldn't be pulling in the raw files from the red server or going to AE to render the linked ae comps. Right?

I've been through this discussion before ... talk about deja vu all over again!
The best explanation I have received was at NAB, with two of the heavy-lifter behind-the-scenes staff of Adobe's video programs. Long and involved discussion, one of those where for about the next ten minutes I felt very enlightened on video processing, codecs, and computer hardware design & usage. And then reverted to a normal human status over the next hour. Ah well.
Basically, there's only a couple 'codecs' where it is even possible to utilize previews in a render-out full export. They're huge puppies and most of us don't have the massive-capable machines that can handle that stuff on the fly for editing purposes. As to the rest ... remember, PrPro is like Lightroom, NOT Photoshop. It never makes a complete new 'file' when 'saved' like say Photoshop does, but only stores the info of the changes you have called for to be applied to the original footage, similar to Lightroom. And note, just as Lightroom can create p-views of various sizes up to 1-1, it never utilizes those highly-compressed p-views when you want to create or "export" a final form of the image for use. It takes the recipe of what you've ordered done to the original image and creates a version of that image with that look in the size and file-format (think codec) of your choosing. Which has nothing to do with the file-format (codec) of the internal-use p-view, even a 1-1 p-view.
When viewing a monitor during PrPro, Sg, & AeFx, that's what you're seeing: the original footage with your changes added to it on the fly ... for the most part. In all three programs there are things complex enough that it will create new viewable bits & pieces but in very few situations will it ever completely create a new run of footage. You'd howl if it did ... think of the massive increase of stuff on your drives if it behaved that way! The bits it stores as "Previews" are neither complete new forms of your original footage nor are they of the quality you'd want or the particular nature of pixel-structure for any specific codec you want an output prepared into.
When you render sections, or even entire clips/sequences for previews it renders those frames and sections of frames that are problematic into an internally-chosen codec that is quick for it to use on the fly and looks ok, and constantly intermixes those bits with original frame and the 'recipe' of what is being called for. It does NOT make an entirely new & complete form of the original footage with all changes applied.
Apparently, there has been discussion internally as to whether the "Use previews for export" button should simply disappear unless you are using one of about two video formats that actually "live" in PrPro as full-res/size files. I asked why this hadn't been done, and the response was ... it's been considered. It would save a lot of hassle, grief, and arguments if they did, is what I'm thinking. The vast majority of us don't have one of those rigs that's like four super-Macs built into one "single" computer. Or a mobo with 8 different quad-or-better core cpu's, that sort of thing. We're not working directly in the formats that need such hardware.

My CS5 ignores "Use previews" function.

I use simple DV PAL sequence with compatible DV footage, after appying some filters i render, pressing enter (making preview).
Then trying to export, checking "Use previews" and "Match Sequence Settings" aaaannd..... it starts rendering AGAIN. Fantastic!
I found some preview rendered footage in "Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files" folder and tried to export them from this project and they were exported without this stupid rerendering, so i can make the conclusion - preview files are fine, the problem is in chain preview->export.

Today's scientific experiment. (should i spend my time on this, spent 700$ for the application) but anyway.
DV PAL project:
2 min "clean" footage export - 10 sec.
2 min colorista corrected footage export without preview - (red bar) - 3:37
2 min colorista corrected footage preview rendering - 3:37
2 min colorista corrected footage export with "use previews" checked (green bar) - 3:37
2 min of preview rendered files from Adobe Premiere Preview Files folder export - 10 sec.
Can anybody finally explain - it is only my problem or it is a problem of Adobe Premiere CS5 and its marvelous Adobe Media Encored within.
Honorable members of Adobe alliance, try the same on your computer with Adobe Premiere CS5 - watch, count and report, please.
And one more thing:
When you make a sequence draging DV PAL clip to the new item icon (as in many tutorial is descibed) you get... sequence with preview file format I-Frame Only MPEG. Is it developers joke ?
Yes, then you can choose Microsoft AVI, but... in codec menu you can't choose PAL... only NTSC, DV (24p Advanced), Microsoft RLE and other old stuff :))
What is that ? Please, try.

Alignment guides in logic 8 (like the ones of GarageBand)

Hi! I know that this topic has already appeared here but it was archived and no answer was sent!
I was a GarageBand user and I'm really stuck with using Logic Express 8 because I can't find the exact equivalent of the great "alignment guides"… I can't bear spending hours to align regions in Logic while it was so easy in GarageBand.
Does anybody know please?

Yes you may be right!
In GarageBand "Alignment Guides" allow you to easily snap a region to another region (its beginning or its end) when you move it.
In Logic I only manage to snap regions to the grid which depends on the tempo but I mainly record guitar audio tracks and their length never match with that grid.
In GarageBand I don't use this grid thanks to "Alignment Guides".
I found some solutions but "Alignment Guides" is GarageBand are really better for what I want to do :
To snap the beginning of a region to the end of another region on the same track I use "Shuffle R" in the "Drag" menu when I move the region.
To snap the beginning of a region to the beginning of another region which is on a different track I "Set Locators" to the first region, then I push Return on the keyboard to make the Playhead go to the Left Locator, then I select the second region and finaly control-click on it to select "Move to Playhead Position".
To snap the begnining of a region to the end of another region on a different track I "Set Locators" to the first region, then I control-click the created Cycle to "Move Locators Forward by Cycle Length", then I select the other track, push Return on the keyboard to make the Playhead go to the Left Locator and finaly control-click on the second region to snap so as to select "Move to Playhead Position".
In the help of GarageBand :
Using alignment guides
You can use alignment guides to show when the edges of a region you are moving align with the edges of other regions. Alignment guides can also show when control points you are moving align with other items in the timeline. You can turn alignment guides on or off.
As you move the region or other item, yellow alignment guides briefly appear as its edges are aligned with the edges of other objects in the timeline.
Turning on alignment guides also turns on snapping, if it is off. When the item you are moving is close to an alignment guide, it will “snap” to the alignment guide.

PLease guide me to use vendor sub range with functionality

Dear All,
PLease guide me to use vendor sub range with functionality
thx

Hi,
The basic concept of Vendor Sub Range is to use different Purchasing Data as well as Partner Functions for a particular range of products supplied by individual your vendor.
In SPRO you can activate Vendor Sub-range in following path
SPRO->Logistic General->Business Partner->Vendors->Control->Define Account Group & Field Selection
In this screen Select your Vendor account group and double click, sys will take to new screen and here you select check box of Vendor sub-range relevant in data retention level-poaching tab and save.
Now create following master data:
Lets say youre purchasing two pumps from your Vendor (V), HDPE and SS manufactured by different company (HDPE and SS ) & they have different purchasing data like payment terms, delivery term etc
1. Create two materials HDPE and SS
2. Create Vendor (V)
3. Create Info record (ME11) M1 & M2 with vendor (V) and here in each material maintain vendor sub range
4. Now create PO (ME21), all related data you will get in PO w.r.t. material and save.

Using Dictionary to check definitions of words in Preview

Hi! I tried searching, but could not find anything pertaining to this issue:
I just switched from Windows four months ago, thus I'm sorry if this sounds stupid. Can the Dictionary application be launched to look up definitions of words while viewing PDFs in the Preview application, just as with TextEdit and Safari? I think, but cannot be sure, that I used to be able to do so.
Currently, if I need to look up words while in Safari or Mail (or Pages), I select the word, hold down the Control key as I click my mouse, and choose "Look Up in Dictionary" from the shortcut menu.
However, when I perform the same actions while reading PDFs in Preview, the shortcut menu that appears only contains "Actual Size", "Zoom In", "Zoom Out", and other options pertaining to viewing. "Look Up in Dictionary" is not in the shortcut menu, neither is "Copy" or "Search in Spotlight".
Thinking that I might have perhaps done something to cause this, I've tried thrashing the Preview plist, and even the Dictionary one. All to no avail, I still cannot look up definitions of words while reading PDFs in Preview. Is there a problem with my Preview? If so, how can I rectify it?
By the way, is Preview a Cocoa application?
Appreciate your input. Thank you in advance.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) Recently switched from Windows four months ago

You can select/highlight any word ("tool mode >> text
tool") but the option to lookup in dicitionary is not
available.
Yes. (...is Preview a Cocoa application?)
Thank you, Macjack. You've been a great help.
How about "Copy"? Is it available from the shortcut menu that appears when you highlight/select the word, and press "Ctrl" and click the mouse in Preview?
Yup, I tried it in Acrobat Professional and it does lead me to dictionary.com. I'd rather use Preview for reading PDFs as it loads much faster than Acrobat Professional (or any of the Adobe applications in CS2, for that matter) on my ibook.
You can however run both programs simultaneously
and type in the word you want to check on manually.
Thank you, Sig. That's indeed helpful.

How do you not align with the biggest bounding box?

This is driving me up the wall, I know a way around it, but at some point later in this project the work around won't be efficient enough.
Ok here is the problem, I have four objects that are going to be large oversized buttons on a website. Inside these buttons (which are square) I have placed a picture, as the picture is larger than the button area I have duplicated the button box and made it a clipping mask for the picture. I have aligned it all up and grouped everything for one button together as one big group. I have done this for each button, so now all buttons are made up of a group of objects.
The problem is because these images are too big for the buttons and I have clipped them there bounding box is bigger than the buttons so when I come to align them or distribute them it all goes wrong. Why? Well the distribution/alignment goes on the combined area bounding box, in this case the pictures are much bigger so it's pretty much there bounding boxes that everything is getting aligned with. In InDesign it treats the bounding boxes of objects within a clipping mask as being the size of the clipping mask, which is exactly what I want to do here. This seems a massive limitation and I can't see why I would ever want to distribute or align with something that I am effectivly removing from the document.
The work around is quite simple, I can take everything out of the button boxes, align the button boxes and then put everything back in the button boxes. This would be acceptable if I only had to do it once, but if (and I probably will) want to tweak the layout as I go it's going to be a pain in the rear.
Any ideas?

I could pre-crop the images in PS but then I loose the ease of changing them in Illustrator. I always try and do as much work as possible in Illustrator so I am able to undo or change things quickly, I am not a big fan of the finality of working with raster images.
The real issue is that the client is comming to look at some mockups and if they ask for changes, which we usually do there and then, we will look a bit silly as we complete destruct and then re-construct each object.
If those align scripts work how I am thinking I might make 4 place holder graphics (that I switch off when I am finished) and centre align each button to those with the scripts.
Illustrator should just be have an option to align the visable layers or items only. I would even accept the ability that when you switch off a layer in a group (say these pictures where there bounding box goes beyond that of the clipping mask) so your only active layer is a box the same size as your clipping mask and so that is the only bounding box that gets used, but no the off layers still have active bounding boxes.

Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2? Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

Update: I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto"). This seems to have corrected the issue. I'm not sure why. Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

HT2506 I'm using Preview with a MacBook Pro and MacOS 10.6.8. When adjusting sharpness in the Adjust Colour tool, images are not saved. Any hint? Thanks.

I too experienced the same issue. Here are my details:
Recently I bought a 15” Macbook Pro and last night I tried to connect and use a Edirol FA/66 Firewire 400 connected outboard audio interface using a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter then connected to a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter since the MBP doesn’t have a native Firewire port. What I observed is that the Edirol was not getting power from the bus nor did the MBP (running Yosemite) recognize the Edriol. At first I thought there was a problem with the Edirol since I haven’t used it in a while but when I connected it to an older MBP that has a native Firewire port, it worked normally. Is there a known issue with these sorts of external audio interfaces working properly with newer MBP running Yosemite? I’m hoping that a software update will fix this issue.

Question on Whether to Check Frame Blending & Use Previews in AME

Hi, When I export a project for transcoding, there are 3 boxes at the bottom of the menu selctions. One is "Use Maximum quality." I ckeck that. I am unsure as to whether I should check, "Use Previews," and of "Use Frame Blending?" I am encoding Mpeg 2, 1080p, Max quality, 80 frame rate.
Thanka Roman

"Use Previews"
No. That's only if you want to use rendered previews as the source for your encodes. About 99.99% of the time, you don't want that; it will result in lower quality exports, as you're using "precooked" files.
"Use Frame Blending?"
Depends. This is a global switch that you may or may not want to use when your export has a different frame rate that your source sequence/footage. It forces frame interpolation (blending) using two or more discrete frames to create new frames. The exact times you'd want this vary depending on your destination and preferred output look.
The help docs say this about Frame Blending:
Select Use Frame Blending to create smoother motion
by blending adjacent frames when output frame rate doesn’t match
input frame rate.
Smoother motion, yes. Blurry video, sometimes.

When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

When i open my Canon RAW-files with preview or transfer them to another program using preview they change to color despite the fact that they where all shot in B/W... How to change this?

I shoot only RAW - no JPEG-files except those visualizing the files on my memorycard or computer. I think i have to refine my question;
1. I know there is possible to make B/W HDR-images.
2. I know the best HDR images are based on RAW-files.
3. When i transfer the images in question to a HDR software they change, so when i view them in the software (either Preview or the HDR software) they are suddenly viewed (and processed) in color.
4. This never happend on my PC so i know it has to do with either Finder or Preview.
5. Do i have to make all my B/W HDR-images on the PC or is it a way for me to change how Finder/Preview show/alter my images?

Availity Check for Customers and materials with useful life

Hello All,
Can anyone help me, about this issue . What i need to do to procedure to check availability for material and customers ?
I have a problem , all material have a expired date ( i work in a drink company) , and for this all products have a date limit for delivery (period of useful product life) , but this date it can be changed for each customer.
We have customer with one moth and another customer with differents (period of useful product life), and a priority for each customer.
Well when i check availability of material i need to have a control of this period of useful product life, in order to assign confirmed quantity for each customer.
Thanks
Sebas

Yes products use batch funcionality and i have a new table for customer / product with useful product life.
For exemple :
Product XXX with 365 days for Total Shelf Life .
Have two customers with differents % of Total Shelf Life, customer AAA 33% and customer BBB 50%.
Result:
Customer AAA for product XXX need 120 days for availity Check
Customer BBB for product XXX need 183 days for availity Check
Where i could introduce search strategy for each customer ?
Do you know user exit i need to change for availity check , in order to introduce my new table.
Thanks a lot, for your help.
