Can I edit an preexisting vector image in PSCS5?

I know I can make a vector image in CS5, but is there a way I can import an existing vector image (ie. an .ai image) and then edit it in Photoshop?
I'm using CS5, on MacOSX Lion.
Thanks for your feedback!

If you have Illustrator then you can get the paths into Photoshop so they are editable with Photoshop's vector tools. Open the vector file in Illustrator, select the required objects and copy to the clipboard. Paste into Photoshop, choosing "Shape Layer" or "Path" when prompted.
If you don't have Illustrator and want to bring a vector file into Photoshop, you can place it in a document as a Smart Object but you won't be able to edit the vectors with Photoshop's tools.

Can I edit and "update" an image, in the timeline, without re-importing it and re-doing all the motion/keyframes?

I have an image in my Final Cut Express project, which has lots of intricate movements and keyframes assigned to it.
I've just discovered I need to change something in the image (give it a photoshop edit).
Do I have to re-import the image all over again, and copy over the numerical details in for the "motion" section, or can I just do something to replace the file and have FCE use that new image in the timeline, keeping everything that was setup?
Thanks

In system preferences set the external editor for stills to Photoshop. Control-click on the image and select open in editor. Make the changes. Save the image.

How can I get an InDesign vector images into Flash without redrawing

I've created a logo in InDesign and trying to get it into
Flash to create a symbol?
Thank you,
Suzy

Oops, EPS can't be opened directly in Flash. You can open the
EPS in Illustrator and save as .ai and open that in Flash.
In Flash, use File > Import > Import to Stage. If
Import to Stage is faded out, just make sure you select a layer
that isn't locked.

I can't edit my image in the browser

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the new feature of Adobe Muse (editing with browser)
When i publish the site with the edit window, i can only change the TEXT....I can't edit or insert new image even if the bloc image is editable...(i have a message who tell me that the region is EDITABLE)
So i don't understand...
Otherwise, i have an other problem.
When i put the mouse on some images, i have this message : the region editable is applied to an unsupported tag (jpeg, png are imported from my computer)
Thanks in advance.
PS : i'm french, sorry for my english

Hey there-
I am having pretty major issues along the same lines as this post. I am new to using BC and the in-browser (in-context??) editor, so I'm sure I'm missing some steps somewhere. *
This is pressing as I am a long time Muse user, but am now building my first site for a different client other than myself.
My issues are:
- I can't edit, upload, insert, or replace any images throughout the entire site
- more importantly, on certain pages, the images aren;t even editable. I recieve the same "the region editable is applied to an unsupported tag" message
- When editing text, I can change the words, but I do not get the option to change any of the formatting or colors of the text
- Finally- is the name of InBrowser editing really InContext editing?
Thanks in advance for the help!

How can I allow other applications to use vector image data in Flash CS5?

Specific to Flash Professional CS5. With its export options greatly reduced, there seems to be no way to make Flash graphics accessible by other programs. Is there any workaround?
Currently, Flash can output two kinds of vector images: SWF and FXG, neither of which seem to be importable by most applications, including Fireworks and Illustrator (which write to FXG but not read from it), and Catalyst doesn't seem to write to anything other than what Builder uses. In other words, I know no way to export Flash files to vector formats (besides using Flash CS4).

Hello
http://cps-internal.corp.adobe.com/cps/150/tn_15022.html
It says :
Director supports a wide variety of graphic formats. Vector graphics are supported as native vector shapes (#vectorShape) or as Flash SWF files. Vector shapes are created in Director using the Vector tool. Often, developers need to import art created in an illustration application such as Macromedia FreeHand, Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW. However, EPS, AI, FH9 and CDR file formats are not natively supported in Director and cannot be imported without the use of an Xtra or plug-in.
It is possible to save artwork created in Macromedia FreeHand as a SWF file, which can then be imported into Director. For Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW users this can also be accomplished using the Macromedia FlashWriter plug-in for Adobe Illustrator or the CorelDRAW Exporter. These plug-ins are available for free download at the Flash Download Center for registered users of Illustrator and CorelDRAW.
EPS files may also be imported into Director using a third-party Xtra. The PS2VS Xtra from Moshofsky/Plant Creative Services for Director 7 and 8 works on both Macintosh and Windows operating systems. The Xtra can be downloaded from the Moshofsky/Plant PS2VS Web page. The current version converts Adobe Illustrator (EPS and AI files) and Macromedia FreeHand EPS files to Director 8 #vectorShapes.
Note:The PS2VS Xtra is a third-party product and is NOT supported by Macromedia or Macromedia Technical Support.
Will this work ?

Vector images on Adobe Muse

Hi everybody, you can help me for import vector images on Adobe Muse? I'm interesting for a map of Europe that is clickable on a single country. I have used png format but the action of click is always square and not shaped. Thanks a lot to all

hello,
i enjoy round trip editing and hope you do as well
> While open in Adobe Illustrator
> From illustrator copy Vector Art to clip board
> Switch to Photoshop and paste the vector into a new or existing photoshop document
> Your vector map of Europe into a photoshop layer needs to be a smart object and saved as a PSD
> Then place into MUSE resize and GO!

How to export diagrams as vector images (.svg, .pdf)

Dear all,
I have a series of models designed with Eclipse Luna (mostly Papyrus 1.0.1) that I would like to include in a document as vectors (for the best printing quality possible).
Exporting these diagrams in Eclipse Luna itself results in the error reported in Bug 459978. This bug has been marked has fixed on Mars (Papyrus 1.1.0), however, diagram export in Mars is totally non functional (whichever the image format), as reported in Bug 473803.
I have also tried exporting these models with Kepler, but that older version of Papyrus fails to recognise the diagrams included.
So the question boils down to: how can I export diagrams as vector images? Is there any alternative software that I could use? Or perhaps can I rely on some other strategy?
Thank you for reading.

In case you may wonder, Bug 473803 prevailed onto Papyrus 1.1.1. It thus remains impossible to export diagrams as images in Eclipse Mars.
Thank you.

Can I edit text in a vector image?

My apologies if this is a stupid question!
I downloaded a vector image from Shutterstock that said "Your Text Here" implying you can edit the text. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to edit the text. When I open the image in illustrator I can select the text but not edit it. Removing each piece of the letter distorts the background. Help!

Would depend on what the text is made of, but as Scott said it's most likely outlined and you are meant to use a completely new text object.

Importing vector image that can be edited in keynote 6

Hi All,
I have a vector image (eps) that I'd love to put in my keynote 6 presentation. Need to be able to edit it.
Struggling to find a way. I can get the image in, but not able to edit it.
Any ideas?

There is a way to export the vectors such that that you can edit the fill, stroke, even modify the points in Keynote HOWEVER it requires that you have a version of Keynote that will still open Keynote 1 files. If you still have that old version of Keynote, check this page.
http://www.christianholz.net/keynote_utilities.html
In addition EazyDraw will also export Keynote 1 files.
http://www.eazydraw.com/fileFormats.htm
It was fairly straightforward for these tools to generate a text .xml file structure for Keynote 1. As the latest Keynote no longer opens files like these (and the current format isn't built on an easily understandable xml base) it remains to be seen if Apple will create a tool that allows developers to export to this latest Keynote version.

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps!

Why can't I edit the entire Photomerge image in Adobe Elements 8?

This granny admittedly isn't terribly Elements "savvy". However, I managed to figure out how to scan an old 1888, 10x12 photo in two halves (left and right), and used the Elements Photomerge to combine the two shots. It worked quite well - slightly askew at the top edge, but the rest of the image appears to be well-stitched - to the naked eye, at least.
After sharpening the image, I went to Guided Edit and began using the brush to "heal" a few of the old marks on the image at full size - that worked well!. Until I moved my brush into the area that had been the left side, that is.. The brush no longer worked. Then I noted that the about 1/3 of the left side was not sharpened like the right side was, either!    To test it further, I changed it to a black & white photo.   Only that larger right section changed to black & white, and the left part of the image stayed it's old sepia color.   I saved the images, closed and re-opened Elements - but had the same results. The left side just can't be edited.
Isn't there a way to edit the entire merged image?
I've saved the image as a high-quality JPEG, and also as Adobe Elements format - but they still won't fully edit.    The two are large files - I was thinking that I'd need to save it at high-quality in order to end up with a nice retouched & sharpened 8x10, suitable for framing.    ????
Can anyone advise me as to what I might be doing or not doing to cause this?
Also, I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit on one laptop, and Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit on another
(I'm trying to get by with the Elements version I have, due to finances.)
Thanks a million
Grannyck

You are a gem! It worked!
I have SO much to learn, and many of the tintypes and very old photos I've recently inherited & scanned will be a good "classroom" for me.   I haven't even completely figured out what "layers" are.      (I do have an Elements 8 book; however, it helps if you know what to look up in it! LOL)
thanks again, nealeh!

On fcp6 - all of a sudden my titles and images disappear when timeline stops. Can't edit or see titles.

titles and stills work fine in playback, but disappear when timeline stops. Can't edit titles. Can't find how to bring things back. restarted FCP and Mac.

Second image shows outline of title over background image. All images are .jpg finished in Photoshop as I normally do. They worked fine during the first half hour of editing.
