Bridge CC and exporting HDRs

Can't seem to find it. But early on I thought I read Bridge had some new feature that automated stacking a set oif HDR images. I'm interested in speeding up the workflow.
Thanks

I thought I read Bridge had some new feature that automated stacking a set oif HDR images
It is not a new feature and you are not exporting the files. If you select the files you want to be sorted automatically and in the menu stack select the bottom line 'auto stack Panorama / HDR' it tries to group them for you in stacks.
Mind you, I call it trying. I long time ago stopped using this feature because it is not reliable in ending up with all good result. Just tried it on a bunch of files again and Bridge kept quitting unexpectedly each time after trying to analyze DNG files of only about 4 different images shot for HDR purpose (on a tripod with always 1 stop difference).
It is just one of that many features Adobe implements in their application that sound promising and always stay promising. The bean counters always want new features to sell the new versions, but once they are there the same bean counters refuse to raise funding for further development and improvement because they rather have an another not always good working feature they can yell about for the next version.
It is what it is and once you learned to live with this you still can enjoy the powers Bridge offers. Select the files for sorting with use of arrow keys and the rating short cut (for Mac this is cmd + . to increase and cmd +, to decrease with one)
When done (takes very less time while you are fully in control) use the filter panel and either use menu tools / Photoshop / Photomerge or HDR to open the files in PS with the control panel.
Automate is always nice to hear but in practice it is seldom useful without you needing to tune it yourself. And since you are a creative creating wonderful stuff, this is how it should be instead of a computer trying to imitate you…

  • I have a sony hdr td 20ve 3d video camera. Is it possible to import into iMovie 11, edit and export in 3D? I have an iMac 2008 model running Lion 10.7.4

    Is it possible to import 3d from the Sony 3D videocamera,model HDR TD 20VE into iMovie 11, edit and export the files to iDVD and produce a disc that plays on a 3d compatible DVD player?

    Yes, you can purchase Lion as well as iPhoto and iMovie from the App Store. But before you can do that you must update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 by installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. Then you can sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password, locate the items you want, purchase them, and download them to your computer.

  • Converting DNG to Tif and exporting from bridge

    I do focus stacking for micro photography and the software I use works with jpg's or tif's only. The way I do it now is to import the raw files in Bridge converting to DNG as I do then go to Lightroom and select all the DNG files and export as tif's. Lightroom does this well but were the files end up on my hard drive is something of a crap shoot at times. I would like to this inside bridge. I've used the so called help file but it seems to have no useful information on the subject or gives me answers for almost every program that Adobe makes. So the question is can I do this in Bridge or not? This is just about the only reason I keep Lightroom around.
    Thanks John Passaneau

    Glad it worked!

    When i want to run Adobe Bridge, says "the operation could not be completed", the same happens with Adobe After Effects.
    And I also have a problem with Premiere, when i want to export a project says that premiere must close.
    This is the try version, is this a problem of Adobe or Apple? i'm very worried

  • Any hope for Adobe Bridge's Flickr Export feature?

    Hi,
    I've been using Adobe Bridge CS5 for a few years now and I love it's features.  However, only recently have I decided to explore posting pictures to on-line albums, in particular, Flickr.
    Having experimented with Bridge's Flickr Export Panel, I notice that it always asks me to log-in and then it can re-authenticate.  I had started a discussion on Flickr's help forum, and the best suggestion was that CS5's Flickr Export module may be using http: instead of https:  I always get an error and cannot upload any photos to my Flickr account.
    Any chance that this is the problem and that there is a fix for it?
    Is there an updated Flickr export module?
    Are there other export modules, say to Google+?
    I am currently not interested in opening a Facebook account, so I don't want to use the Facebook export module.
    Please reference the below link to read the Flickr forum discussion.
    Flickr: The Help Forum: Flickr Export Module always asking for authentication in Bridge CS5

    I called the Adobe 1-800 support number yesterday and went through the phone prompts and found that I could no longer connect to CS support. It just told me that phone support is not available and to go to the web site for support. It then ended the call. Since the phone message I got on Friday told me to call them back I called the number again and simply hit the prompts for Creative Cloud support and told them that I had an open case. I gave her my case number and see looked it up and immediately asked me if she could take control of my computer. Wow! They obviously have a much higher level of support staff for the Creative Cloud subscribers as I doubt if the Level 1 staff I talked to for regular CS-6 support could even do that, (or would know how). I told her that a Level 2 Tech had already done that earlier with no results. She put me on hold while she checked with the next level of support. After a minute or so she came back on and said that a Level 2 tech would call me back to troubleshoot my issue. I stayed home all day yesterday waiting for the call but nothing. I just hope that when they do call me I am actually home this time or we could be playing telephone tag forever. This is the second time I have called them back when they left a message on my answering machine.
    You would think that when they call and get an answering machine that they would try to call back later, instead of making you call them back at the general support number and ending up talking to a different Level 1 person each time, who then has to research your case and then tries to fix the problem themselves when they can’t, or else I wouldn’t have been sent up to Level 2 in the first place. I’ve dealt with other support issues with other companies and they will dedicate one person to your case and that’s who you deal with each time. It’s much more efficient for them and for the customer. I hope someone from Adobe actually reads this forum once in a while. There customer support could definitely use improvement.
    The next time I talk to them I am going to point them to this forum thread to prove it’s not just me.
    Can I ask everyone to post what operating system they are using. Maybe that will narrow things down, or prove that it’s not an operating system problem?
    I have the same problem on both my desktop and my laptop. Both are running Windows 7, 64 bit.
    Photoshop CS-6, 64 bit only on both.

  • How do I export HDR photos made on Photoshop CS5 onto a flashdrive so I can use them on a window machine for commercial purposes.  Adobe support claims it is a apple problem not theirs.  PS the other window machine doesn't have Photoshop cs 5 installed?

    Hi, How do I export HDR photos made on a macpro with photoshop cs5 onto a flashdrive so they can be imported correctly into a windows machine that doesn't have photoshop installed on it?  Already exported to a HP flashdrive but they do not even show up on a windows machine. Need that capabillity since this is for commercial printing.  My wife's mac laptop only shows 3/4 of the picture the rest is grayed out.  Adobe support claims it is a Apple problem.  Love the finger pointing and hold me blameless atitude on their part.  Told them creating a picture should be like gas that can be used in anybody's car, just not their Adobe equipped ferrari.  Do I need to convert the file struture so it can be read by the window machine? How would I do that ?  Any comments appreciated. Doug

    I certainly wouldn't expect to read native PS CS5 files with all features intact and supported on a machine that doesn't have CS5 installed. Try saving the files as flattened (no layers) TIFFs before moving them to the flash drive and trying to open them on the Windoze box.

  • How do I import Bridge keywords and metadata to CS6 from CS4 so that I don't lose them if CS4 is not

    I have hundreds of keywords and metadata including Ratings and Labels using CS4 and Bridge CS4.
    It is time to replace my PPC Mac with a new Intel Mac.
    I am going to install CS6 on the new Intel Mac without installing CS4.
    By default.... this eliminates ALL keywords and ratings and labels from my Bridge browser. The keywords will still be present on the files but Not present in Bridge keywords list and all ratings and labels will be lost.
    Making a copy of Bridge CS4 metadata to another computer is quite simple.
    Simply copy All of the Bridge CS4 application support folder to the other computer.
    The question then becomes.... can I aslo do this with CS6 without introducing an incompatibility?
    1. incompatible due to CS6 application support.
    2. incompatible due to transfer from a PPC (APM) to Intel (GUID).
    This concern results from an Bridge CS4 export problem I experienced.
    Bridge CS4 will export all of your keywords and you can import them from a text file but it has some odd troubles. (try it and you will see)
    This does Not mean that CS6 has the same troubles.
    What do I require to preserve existing metedata and keywords that exist on a PPC using CS4 and import them into CS6 using Intel?
    Sound simple?
    I doubt it.
    The points are.
    1. CS4 not installed.
    2. CS4 source is PPC not Intel.
    3. Ratings and Labels are metadata that Are Not part of the file metadata and unique to Bridge only.
    4. Keyword Search and keyword Use requires that Bridge have keyword list, otherwise Finder is the far more useful browser and the new version of Bridge will require hours of keyword listing.
    I don't want to spends hours retyping keywords lists in Bridge.

    Ratings are NOT placed into the file under CS4 Bridge and neither are
    Labels.
    That depends on your file type and settings voor Camera Raw.
    Like Curt stated usually metadata is written in to the file itself. Only Raw files can't be written to and by default they create a XMP file, also called Sidecar XMP files (and do have the same filename, only a different extension called .xmp). These files are also by default hidden in Bridge but If you use Bridge to move files they travel along with the original.
    If you move or copy them using finder you have to be sure these XMP files are also copied with the originals to the new location.
    Using the menu View / show hidden files should reveal the XMP files.
    An other option for the Camera Raw prefs is to set metadata to the Camera Raw database instead of written to sidecar XMP files ( to my knowledge using sidecar files has been the default since about CS3).
    Now here it becomes a bit tricky and I only can tell you my findings, not to be confused with true facts. (and mind you, it is at least 5 years ago I was on a PPC and not even remember which OSX 10 was able to work on it, I just present the acting of CS6 on an intel Mac Pro with OSX 10.7, but I don't believe the difference in location is that much)
    Having written the Metadata to the Camera Raw Database your image settings get written to a file in the user library preferences folder called logically "Adobe Camera Raw Database". But also some info gets added to the Camera Raw Cache folder (User library / Caches/ Adobe Camera Raw) in a file called index.dat.
    Also not having set metadata to xmp sidecars stores the ACR settings in a new .dat file with a unique number (not to be traced as a corresponding filename. And also the default maximum is set to 1 GB of space and when full the oldest files are overwritten with the new ones.
    Personally I use converted DNG files that are capable of writing metadata to so all info and settings are in the file itself and I don't need to bother about central storage that can get lost. The downside is that changes to a DNG need to save the whole file instead of a small xmp file and probably reading cache takes more time then getting info from central storage but I like to be on the safe side and speed is not really needed to be nailed down to split seconds in my workflow.
    Keywords are stored as a file in the Bridge preferences but Like Curt already stated exporting the old list first and then via the same route import again to CS6 should solve your problem and they will be back as persistent, otherwise the files in the content window show as italic and sadly enough have to be made persistent one by one with right click mouse menu, so that is not really an option for you.
    Exporting the list does create a text file that can also be altered manually with a simple text app and as said, again be imported in newer versions as Curt described earlier.
    Making a copy of Bridge CS4 metadata to another computer is quite simple.
    Simply copy All of the Bridge CS4 application support folder to the other computer.
    Well, in fact it is true to call copying this folders a simple task but replacing the existing new CS6 would not be my method. The biggest change for Bridge CS6 was the transition to 64 bit and I lack the knowledge for this but also cache format for thumbs and previews has been different for every version.
    But if you have located the CS4 folder for Bridge in your PPC user library / application support / Adobe / Bridge CS4 you should find a file called 'Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml' and it is fairly safe to replace this CS4 version with the new CS6 version.
    Also custom settings for the output module can be copied (however to my memory the option for custom settings in Output where introduced in CS5) and collections can be copied.
    So for your keywords the copy option might work, rating and labeling for Raw files they will be read in CS6 if they are stored as XMP. ACR settings idem but CS6 ACR has a new (2012) conversion mode that has different settings that do not work with previous settings (unless you first choose to use the 2010 conversion as default Raw setting.
    If it is in the Central Data Base I would start trying to replace the CS4 with the CS6 edition (after back up of existing CS6 version) and see what happens. If it works your out of trouble.
    You can also open the Camera raw Database as a text file but there is a lot of data in. Maybe scripting would be able to reveal those data and transfer to XMP but you have to visit the dedicated Scripting forum for this.
    And while you state to have not installed CS4 anymore it might be wise to reinstall it (but first make a proper back up of the previous mentioned folders and files to be on the save side.
    This gives you the opportunity to export keywords properly and if needed you can use Show Items from subfolders option with filter and set preferences to XMP sidecar to refresh the rating and labels to those XMP files. Just an escape route that might not be as painstakingly as it looks at first sight, just use the options for Bridge to filter.

  • Bridge cache managment & export to folders?

    What is the function and advantage of "auto exporting cache to folders" in Bridge?
    Round 2 testing, I changed the CS6 Bridge cache location to be the same location I was using for CS5, on a secondary drive.
    Small mistake, because CS6 proceeded to delete the entire existing cache and start building a new one. However, Bridge CS5 seems to coexist OK sharing the same cache with CS6. They are both re-building the cache as I visit individual folders. (30,000 files in 800 folders gonna take a while).
    Long ago under CS3 I adopted the strategy of setting Bridge to "Auto export cache to folders." That worked well, because if you purged the master cache, Bridge would very quickly rebuild it from the folder cache files each time you re-visited a folder. The thumbs would come up very quickly if a folder cache existed, much slower if no folder cache existed.
    Under CS5, and now CS6, that is no longer true. If you visit a folder after the cache has been purged, a slow process to generate thumbnails occurs. It appears that the individual folder cache is not being used for anything. The time to re-build the cache is about the same, regardless of whether folder cache files exist or not.
    Purging or deleting the Bridge cache was often necessary under CS3 because the cache often became corrupted. CS5 was more stable, but still not immune from cache corruption. Maybe CS6 will be even more stable, but I'm betting cache purges will still be sometimes necessary. Is there any way to make the rebuild faster? Or more generally, what's the best strategy for Bridge cache management?
    (And no, I don't have "keep 100% previews in cache" selected.)

    need some help here. don't know if i can describe this accurately.
    i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
    recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
    for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
    i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
    will appreciate any advise. Thanks

    but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library)  I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
    We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

  • When to use import and export directives?

    I'm very confused about what the import and export language extensions do and when one should use them.
    I have a Bridge application with multiple source files. As long as I don't call code in another file from the startup execution path (before all source files are loaded) and only call across modules after Bridge is running (e.g. from events in Bridge), I don't seem to need import and export. All source files seem to be in the same namespace and all can see each other's global objects/functions.
    So, when would someone use import or export? And, what is the #engine that the manual discusses in relation to import and export? If some of my source files are library files that I intend to be used by multiple different files/applications, should I be using import/export for that use? Or is this only applicable when there are somehow multiple JavaScript engines involved? And when would that situation arise?
    --John

    John,
    The import and export directives don't really matter in Bridge. All scripts execute in the same namespace. That's why namespacing your scripts is crucial in Bridge.
    The #engine directive creates another JavaScript engine instance containing the script with the directive. If you then wanted to use stuff from that engine, the import and export directives would be needed. But even with that, in Bridge, the main engine will contain the script. There will just be a second engine (you can see this in the ESTK) containing the same stuff. Since it's in the main engine, there's no point in using the import and export.
    Some of the other apps, GoLive, for instance, each script executes in its own engine and namespace. And import and export are needed.
    This could change in future versions, and if it does, we'll be certain to make sure everyone knows about it.

  • "Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews:

    "Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews:
    I am moving from Bridge CS5 to CS6 and have a very large number of 100% Previews in my CS5 cache.  The idea of regenerating all these 100% Previews in CS6 is NOT amusing.  It is amazing that there is not a simple import function for this task as a way to make the software upgrade more "seamless"… but apparently there is not.
    I have read the Adobe documents:
        "Bridge Help / Manage the cache | Adobe Bridge CS4, CS5"
        "Creative Suite / Work with the Adobe Bridge cache"
    Based on these documents, in Bridge CS5 I used the export function in
    Tools>Cache>Build and Export Cache…
        with "Build 100% Previews" checked
        and "Export Cache To Folders" checked.
    Unfortunately, the "Build and Export Cache" fails to export 100% Previews to the target directory.  They should appear in the target directory as hidden files in the format xxxxx.NEF.JPG.  Yes, I do know how to view hidden files in both the Finder and in Bridge.
    In Bridge CS5 I tried Purging and rebuilding the Cache for the target directory with no luck.
    I tried running "Build and Export Cache" in Bridge CS6….  still no hidden Preview files in the target directory.
    My settings in both CS5 & CS6 Bridge - Preferences:
        "Keep 100% Previews in Cache" is checked
        "Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible" is checked
    My settings in both CS5 & CS6 Bridge - Options for thumbnail quality and preview generation:
        "Generate 100% Previews" is checked
    Using OS X 10.6.8
    Anyone have a suggestion?????

    Bridge is the only piece of software I have used, which incorporates a database, where new versions do not provide for importing the objects of the older version.  Very strange.
    That is a very mildly conclusion but unfortunately until the cache strategy for Bridge is finally sorted out this problem will exist.
    Now I have to confess that I can't use the 'Auto export cache when possible' for several versions now due to a rare problem that after the first time usage without problem created export cache almost every second time generates a warning message that due to failure it needs to replace the Cache T file, hence I deselected this option permanently.
    I would think that if you have those already cached and exported files for 100 % preview in the dedicated folders it would read those files and add it to the database and central cache file when having pointed Bridge to that folder, but I'm far from sure about that.
    Also after rereading your first post you state to expect the build and export cache to build also hidden files with the two extensions from original filetype followed by .jpg from cache in the folder itself (target directory)? Here I'm a bit lost. The mentioned double extension files only appear in the central cache folder and are visible but buried  in the subfolders for each quality in the central cache file at user library (default) or custom set location in Bridge prefs.
    The exported cache to folder are hidden files and as long as I can remember that where 2 files already in the File browser (forgot the extension they used for this) and currently .BridgeCache (very small, few KB) and the for me problematic .BridgeCacheT file that can grow very large and has about the same size as the subfolder generated under full in the central cache.
    I can see the content of the central cache without problem including the double extensions and previews of the files as thumbs in the Finder, jet with option to show hidden files I can see the CacheT file but only as a blank document icon and I can't find an application on my system to open this file to reveal its content.
    Just tried it on a folder with small sized files and having set preview quality to HQ and 100 % preview (checkerboard icon in Path Bar) and then used the option from menu tools to build and export cache to folder including 100 %. Both subfolder in Central Cache and about same sized hidden CacheT file where generated without problems and the full preview was instantly on demand using magnifier. (but all this without the option in prefs to auto export to folder)
    So to me it seems (if I understand everything correctly) that either the existing exported files from CS5 do cause the problem or your setup of CS6 is not working correctly.
    Are we still on the same track or am I completely lost?

  • Build and Export Cache

    I've already posted this in the Bridge forum, but I thought it might just be relevant to ACR too, so here goes...
    I've just bought a Panasonic GF2. ACR support was introduced with 6.3, so I have no problems with opening its raw files in 6.3 or 6.4RC.
    If I click on a newly-uploaded raw thumbnail in Bridge, a high quality preview is generated, as expected. However, if I select the entire folder, and select 'Build and Export Cache', nothing happens - I am returned to Bridge as if nothing happened, and the thumbnails stay showing the embedded versions.
    This is something I do regularly with my Nikon D300 raw files. Bridge usually counts through the images, and the previews are updated with the ACR-generated HQ versions. But no so with the new GF2.
    I wondered if this had anything to do with GF2 support in ACR, rather than Bridge itself?

    Curt Y wrote:
    I checked the site http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html and there is no Panasonic GF-2 listed for ACR 6.3
    I thought 6.4 was releaseed, but all I see is 6.4 release canidate.
    In fact all the cameras begin with DMC.  This camera mey be too new.  Have seen some posts to suggest it can take as long a 2 months to get a new model covered.
    It's the 7th one down!
    I can open the raw images fine, and if I actually click on a thumbnail or several thumbnails, Bridge generates HQ previews. All that's happening is that Bulid/Export Cache isn't working for this camera.
    I am using 6.4 RC. I might try rolling back to 6.3.

    I want to be able to use FCE to edit my HD footage from my Sony HD7 camcorder then display results through Apple TV. I know I will lose resolution, but am having one particular problem. After importing clips to FCE I exported to Quicktime movie, then opened the file in Quicktime and exported to Apple TV. The resulting video seems "jerky" at least to my eyes. Almost like every other frame was cut out. Do I need to export from FCE at a different resolution or frame rate to get the export to Apple TV looking better?

    16-bit Big Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps
    Export direct as QuickTime movie and conversion to Apple TV seems to show some jagged sharp motion to my eyes, so I tried the steps below and got a more fluid result.
    The exported from FCE to 1280 x 720 with these settings:
    Compression: H.264
    Quality: High
    Key Frame Rate: 24
    Frame Rendering: Yes
    Encoding Mode” multi-pass
    Dimensions: 1280 x 720
    Results of export from Final Cut
    H.264, 1280 x 720, 29.97 fps, 17.48 Mbps
    16-bit Big Endian stereo, 48 kHz, 1.54 Mbps
    Then converting that to Apple TV file (opened in QuickTime and used export for Apple TV):
    Video Tracks:
    H.264, 960 x 540, 29.97 fps, 3.81 Mbps
    Could be that Export to QuickTime Movie makes an Apple Intermediate Codec file and the export using QT conversion made an H264 codec. Perhaps there is a difference in the way the QT function "export to Apple TV" handles those two codecs???

  • Bridge CC and ACR unbearably slow

    Upon researching the issue of a slow Bridge CC I realize I am not alone nor is this a new problem. The thread I read extensively is almost a year old. Despite paying for CC for about 9 months I still use CS6. I had hopes that the new 2014 CC would solve the bridge performance issues.
    I am running a six-core system with 32 GB ram, an SSD for my OS and programs, an empty 1.5 TB drive dedicated to cache, on a win 7 - 64bit OS. Bridge CC and camera raw are so slow I can't use them.  My only comparison is CS6 and using the same settings for both programs.
    When opening bridge CC to the folder that was previously cached and loaded used it took ~51 seconds of "building criteria" before i could view the file types, ratings, and details in the filter box. In other words I do not see any information in the filters box for that time. I made sure that the thumbs were completely loaded into the cache before I closed Bridge CC and opened the program to the same folder. The same folder in Cs6 takes ~4 second to load..
    I have performance issues in ACR too.
    I batch edit in ACR like out lightroom counterparts do but Bridge CC Plus ACR are too slow to work with.
    I selected the same 20 raw files in each case.
    bridge CC camera raw 8.5 took 5 seconds of a watch icon  to load the files into the camera raw dialog after hitting CTRL R
    No edits or changes were made to the files.
    when i click to the next image in the list (still in camera raw) it takes  0.5-1 second of the watch icon to load the next raw photo in the batch.
    in CS6 I selected the same 20 unedited RAW files, CTRL R and they immediately load. I can switch from raw file to RAW file without any hiccup or delay. 5 seconds vs instant. I didn't build a six core system to wait for things to load.
    not exactly scientific but that's the disparity I am seeing. Bridge CC is death to me. To make sure I wasn't crazy I clicked on a recent folder with only 80 raw files, 80 respective small jpgs and a couple video files (4.5 gigs of data). It took so long I freaked out that I had moved the files to a backup location instead of copying them. After 30 seconds I stopped counting, opened windows explorer, browsed the backup folder, copied the files and was about to paste them to what should have been the original location and then Bridge decided that it was ready to work. For that ~ 60-85 seconds there was no watch icon, no spinning circle or "building criteria". It just looked as if I was browsing an empty folder.
    Any suggestions?

    c. Once you post something that's helpful I'm sure someone will give you a thanks, until then stop trolling these boards - your name was all over that thread with useless and unhelpful information
    Well mister Chuck 'know it al', you can congratulate yourself. With just 2 posts in the past year and no points for helpful answers at al you come in hard and call one of the most helpful posters a troll.
    This was the limit for both of us, we had to stand a lot, including no help from Adobe but a more crippled forum website after each major upgrade. No possibility to place FAQs, a lot of people screaming for help without taking the effort to look first for similar problems, almost never providing correct details, crucial for a mixed Mac/Windows forum.
    We had to suffer a lot, getting in unpaid and just plain users like all other guests, only it did cost us a lot of spare time.
    But now we can rest from this task because mister Chuck "know it al" has jumped in to the rescue.
    I wish you good luck and pity your friends and family, it must be a difficult task to live with such a nice person.
    Goodbye to you all!!

    Hi, I started working on PSCC this week... migrating from PSCS3, I notice a big change inside the levels adjustment window, as the visual clipping thing is twice smaller than what I get in cs3. I've found no way to re-size the clipping zone so far...
