Anomalies in CS5 when using edit original on Illustrator files from within InDesign

Using the Edit Original function to open up a placed Illustrator file from an InDesign layout, we are seeing some strange things. If the image is placed on page at 100%, after editing via Edit Original it comes back in at a different size. Sometimes it is a silly size (99.999999999% or 100.000000002%), other times 2 or 3% smaller. Is anyone else seeing this - and, if so, is there a fix?

We are also experiencing this with .psd .ai .eps .jpg files etc. etc. etc.
Example:
An image is placed in a box in InDesign, then resized and positioned. In a later stage the image needs editing, so the image is selected and we click on Edit Original. The image opens in either PS or ILL, we alter it (not sizewise, just color). Then we save it and the link in InDesign updates.
BUT
The position and the scale of the image most often CHANGES.
CS5 is soo full of bugs, it is not even funny anymore. We are slowly moving our studio back to CS3.

  • Has anyone had issues with poor image quality when using lightroom to process raw images from Canon 7dmk2

    Hi everyone..
    ..I have been having image quality issues when using Lightroom to process raw files from a 7d mk2... They are all soft with poor clarity.....tonight in despair I tried processing them  using  canon's software and they are totally different..."much better"
    anyone else had similar problems....Andy

    I have a 7D2 and have not had what I interpret as poor image quality that has anything to do with the camera.
    Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what specifically you don’t like?  Maybe there is something you can do differently or at least there may be an explanation for what you’re seeing.
    And if you have a raw image that you wouldn’t mind sharing in a public forum, upload to http://www.dropbox.com/ then post a public share link to it in a reply, here.
    In other words post a screenshot of what you see in LR, another of what you see using DPP, and a link to the raw file you’re processing.

  • Using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook

    When using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro, that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook, will emails, contacts and calendar entries be moved to Outlook on the new MacBook or into Mail, Contacts and Calendar?

    I doubt they will. But then I'm not sure as I used a migration program once about 18 years ago and totally FUBARed the system I had at that time and I've never used one again.
    For me the reason to have a new system is to start fresh. Installing only program that I now use and manually copying data over from the older system.
    Not sure your older version of Outlook, and the outlook mail boxes, are compatible with Office/Outlook for Mac 2011.
    A better place to ask this question would be on the MS Office for Mac forums.
    Hope it all works out for you.

  • Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

    1. You have allowed Apple to auto-upgrade your Mac
    Turn off auto-update here:
    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > App Store
    2. The Icons on your dock are Aliases not real apps
    They point to where the apps really are which is:
    For Pages 5.2.2 in your Applications folder
    For Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder
    3. You are alternately opening documents randomly with either version of Pages
    Both Pages have the same file extension .pages and there is no certainty as to which version opens them when you double click on a file.
    right click on the file and choose which version you want to open it
    4. Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files
    Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, and will convert and change Pages '09 and Word files.
    It will also auto save opened files into its own format.
    You can export these back to Pages '09 if you need to:
    Menu > File > Export > Pages '09
    5. Yes Pages 5.2.2 is a marked downgrade
    Pages 5.2.2 has a few improvements but has had over 110 features removed and is buggy.
    Sooner or later you will not be able to open a file or have it damaged in some way and it has a complex obscure file format largely incompatible with everything else, so you will not be able to rescue the contents of your file. If Pages or some third party server/eMail don't trash your file, eventually Apple will do it for you as it did when it released Pages 5 last September. I recommend using Pages '09 for the time being whilst you look for viable alternatives, some are here already and some are on the way.

  • How can I get 'Edit Original' to open file in Photoshop?

    I have a Mac running OSX 10.6.2. I have the full CS4 Suite.
    When I try clicking 'Edit Original' in Illustrator it opens the file in Apple's pdf viewer: 'Preview'. How can I change it to open in Photoshop by default?
    File is CMYK tiff - jsut in case that matters
    I've checked the PDF manual - no joy
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers
    Nick

    Thanks SeniorSSS
    It works!
    Is it me or is that a really off-the-wall solution for Apple to take?:
    If you want to change the way a programme functions, choose a completely unrelated file and use it to instruct all other files of the same type. I would never have thought of that solution in a million years. Perhaps I don't think outside the box ...
    Anyway, much appreciated all the same
    Cheers

  • When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder?

    When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder? I am new to Mac. I've updated the operating system and iPhoto.

    If your iPhoto Advanced preference pane is setup like this
    all photos you import into the library are COPIED into the library.  Thus those photos in the folders outside of iPhoto are redundant and can be deleted to save space on your hard drive. There no need to keep those copies in the folders.
    If you do have your advance preferences set as shown above you can access your photos for use outside of iPhoto according to the following User Tip by Terence Devlin which is the best treatise on how to access photos (for use outside of iPhoto):  How to Access Files in iPhoto.  Otherwise you access your photos from within iPhoto. 

  • I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
    /Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
    Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
    If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
    Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
    I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

  • When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other?

    When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other? In the Migration tool, I was only given the option of choosing the computer when it appeared on the same network, and didn't see an option to connect them to each other. Even though they're both connected to the same network with a wired connection, the migration is painfully slow.

    Yes. The following quotation is from About Windows Migration Assistant
    These are the preferred network connections, in order:
    Use a CAT6-certified Ethernet cable that is in good condition to connect the Ethernet port of the PC directly to the Ethernet port of the Mac or Ethernet adaptor (USB or Thunderbolt). You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
    Use CAT6-certified Ethernet cables that are in good condition to connect the Mac and PC to your home network router/hub/switch. You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
    For wireless, use the fastest wireless signal possible (802.11n 5Ghz). Try to have the PC, Mac, and the wireless access point all in the same room close to each other.

  • The problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is blackcolor

    the problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is all black in color and i cant see what i'm picking how do i change that so i can see what i'm picking

    Is that Photoshop?  Depending on the version you could try to change the Color Theme (Edit | Preferences | General | Appearance).
    If that does not help, you may have a better chance to get a useful answer if you ask in the Photoshop or Photoshop Elements forum.

  • How can I locate the original .CR2 /  Raw file from Photos in finder?

    How can I locate the original .CR2 /  RAW file from Photos in the finder window? I would like to know a easier way to open my files and use them in Photoshop than having to go to the Pictures folder, right clicking "show packaged contents", and manually searching for my CR2's / RAW's. It is also ridiculous to have to export the RAW file to my desktop, and then take it into Photoshop or another photo editing program.  I was able to do this in iPhoto and find I cannot do so in Photos. Please help? Can you please consider adding a right click function that says "Show Original file in Finder". That would make it so much easier and better for those of us who want a simple way to access the original files and use them in other editing programs. At least with iPhoto you could go to the top menu / preferences and find your items.

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html is the place for feature requests and feedback
    Rather than use the 'Show package Contents route, the supported and safer way is to export the unmodfied original.

  • When can we publish Air 3.0 from within Flash IDE?

    Hi,
    I am very eager to get started on developing with Air 3.0.
    I'm using Flash CS5.5, but natively Air 3.0 is not available from within the IDE. I know I can publish using the command line, but this is really a bit to complicated for me.
    Can anyone tell me if and when we can expect an update for Flash CS5.5 so we can publish Air 3.0 files from within the IDE directly?
    Thanx!

    There are two ways of being able to publish to AIR 3,0 from within Flash CS5.5. You can either rename the AIR2.6 folder and put in the AIR3.9 folder, renamed to AIR2.6. That, of course, won't let you do code completion on new features, or see any interface changes. Or you can follow the long winded overlay process, and then would be able to do code completion.
    Are you saying that the long winded overlay way still doesn't give an option to publish with captive runtime? When you said that copying the SDK wouldn't give new UI options, that made me think you were saying that the more elaborate overlay would would.
    So, users are then stuck with FB4.6 public beta, command line, or waiting for "Flash Next" before being able to publish captive runtime Android apps.

  • When I try to import .olm files from my external hard drive back up, where do they go? It says on different forums they go to the "on my computer" folder but they are not there

    When I try to import .olm files from my external hard drive back up, where do they go? It says on different forums they go to the "on my computer" folder but they are not there.
    I go through all the instructions but then my emails do not appear. I'm starting to panic a bit!

    You might want to try asking on the MS Office Outlook forum - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook - since those are Outlook files.
    Also note which method you're using to create a backup.

    i use migrate assistant to move files from my old pc to the new Mac , but it creates the user account. How can i delete the unwanted user account.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
    To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472
