Can't reconnect PSD-Images

Hi all
Problem:
For upgrading to OS X 10.5 I've chosen a plain new installation and saved my images (which where referenced outside the Aperture-Lib) to another USB-Drive.
After Installation of Aperture I saved my images back. By using the "Referenced Masters Tool" I could successfully reconnect all RAW- and JPEG-images, but my PSD-Files - which altogether where created by using the "Open with extern Editor" function) couldn't be reconnected.
*History Background:*
I import my RAW-images as extern reference. When I’ve finished my Photoshop-Work, the PSD-Files were initially inside the Aperture-Library, so I used to relocate them to the same folder where the RAW-Files were…
What can I do to reconnect my PSDs?
Thanks for help

I've got the same problem, except with all of my TIF files. I replaced a hard drive with a larger one and gave the new drive the same name. I was able to reconnect my Canon raw files without a problem. But, the TIFs won't reconnect using the "Manage Referenced Files" command. Trying to "Show In Finder", "Relocate Master" and "Consolidate Master" all give me the same message: the drive for the photo is offline and it needs to be online. Well, that drive is long gone, I have a new drive with the same name in its place and Aperture gives me no option to just go and find the file on the hard drive! There used to be a "Locate" command that would come up and let you navigate to the file on your hard drive to reconnect. But, that never comes up now. Any ideas?

Can't reconnect PSD files.

Hi
My partner (Final cut Studio 2) send me a project file. We're collagorating on this project. I have FCE 4.5.
I was able to reconnect all the media but he also sent me some layered PSD files. I can see them in the finder, but when I try to reconnect them, I get an error msg "The file does not have enough video tracks to reconnect to stripe at time 00:00:00;00 in sequence "xxxx.psd. Click okay to make this item independent and go to the next clip or Cancel to skip all clips from this file"
I'm still learning this FCE. How can I reconnect these files fo my FCE sees them? All the video clips have been reconnected and rendered and play fine on my MBP except for these PSD files.
There's 3 sets of layered files in the sequence. Should I add more video tracks or shouldn't FCE put in what it needs?
Allen

It's in the sequence and on the timeline but showing off line. Anyway Mike said if I re-imported them I'd loose the layers. There's 3 sections, 1st is all the layers, then each of the 2 graphics are seperated one at the begining and one at the end. they're title seq.
He said he'd show me what to do when we meet. See, we each have a copy of the video clips. He does his work in Studio 2 and saves his stuff to his raid. Sends me the project file to open in FCE. So I have to reconnect the files and tell MBP they're on my external LaCie. Everything went good except for those PSD files. All of the info was in the CFP project file plus he sent me the graphics seperately. this is a wierd deal for me!
Thanks anyway. I'll let you know what happens.

In Windows 8, how can I see an image of the psd file instead of the Photoshop icon?

There are a number of third party solutions for this. I just use Bridge, so can't recommend one in particular.

Images Offline, NAS Drive in Finder but can't Reconnect

Aperture 3.0.2, Mac OS 10.6.3
I have all referenced images on network drive. It's all there in the finder but aperture says it's offline. Furthermore, the reconnect button is always greyed out.
Even more odd is sometimes when I relaunch Aperture, it finds the images but they're ephemeral. (I can right-click to Show in Finder successfully once or twice then it's offline again.)
I have tried rebuilding library to no avail. I've tried copying referenced images to local drive and I still can't reconnect (greyed out) - I'm totally stumped.

I found the best articulation of the solution at MacCreate: http://aperture.maccreate.com/2008/03/01/reconnecting-images-in-aperture-2-when- moved-between-drives/
How the "Reconnect ... " dialog works is not at all obvious. In fact, it is somewhat misleading because so many of us were incensed over the apparent claim that our drives were offline.
I have come to understand that "offline", which appears in the "Status" column between the "Volume" and "Files" column does not pertain to the drive (Volume) but to the images (Files)! After successfully reconnecting Aperture to images in one particular folder of my external drive, the dialog then showed two lines for the same Volume: one showing the number of online files (the reconnected ones) and another line showing the number of offline files (not yet reconnected).
It would be clearer if the columns were labeled "Volume", "File Status", "No. of Files", but such labels would increase the column widths.

Images are offline and can't reconnect

Two projects in my Library show the files to be "offline" or "missing." When I select them all and "Manage referenced files" the aperture library doesn't show up in the pictures directory, and I can't reconnect because of this. The Aperture Library can be seen in Finder and all of the other projects seem to be fine. I haven't done anything such as a backup or moving files or etc.

Ok. So in general we have the Aperture Library/"Files for each folder"/"*.approject for each project"/"a folder for each import session"/"a folder for each image"/"Files for each image"
1st I tried to copy the *.approject file to a different location and reconnect from the different location. However the *.approject did would not appear in the Manage reference files dialog.
2nd I moved the *.jpg file from the "a folder for each image"/"Files for each image" to a different location. Went into aperture and deleted all the files from the project. Then re-imported the files from the new location. This worked.
So I started the same procedure on the other project that wasn't working. Moved the files...went into aperture....selected all images....just about to hit Command-delete....but I noticed that the little yellow triangle is gone. After moving the *.jpg files, the project mysteriously begins working again.
So just to double check, I tried it on the other "mystery" project. I moved the *.jpg files one by one, and everytime I move the *.jpg file another yellow triangle goes away. So all I'm left with is a *.apfile, *.apmaster, and 2 *.apversion files. But that appears to make it work again.
I also checked some of the working projects...they have a *.jpg file but they still work....Go figure.

You need to make sure that the RaActualRpt class is in the classpath either through the environment variable or as a javac option. Also make sure you import it if it is not in the same package as RaActualRptImpl

What to do with a psd image in Modified folder that I can't see.

With an original jpeg image I modified the image in PSE (which is set as default editor in iPhoto) using layers. I did a Save. The psd is in my modified folder but is not displayed by iPhoto. I understand that I should have used a Save As (eg to desktop) and imported that image back to iPhoto.
Is it OK to move the psd image out of the Modified folder to desktop and then import it back into iPhoto? Thanks,
Owen

Owen
Yes.

In Photoshop CS5, using Bridge, I will not be able to open a psd image from RAW, due to memory

I open 25mb photos from Bridge CS5, make adjustments in RAW, then open them in Photoshop to apply filters & masks etc.. Once opened in Photoshop, I can work with a multi layered 200mb psd file without any issues.
However, after closing it, then opening another image in RAW, adjusting it, then opening that image in Photoshop, I will suddenly get an error message saying Not enough memory (RAM), even though this is a far smaller file (26mb), than the psd file I just had opened earlier (200mb).
I can work for a while without problems, then suddenly I start to get the error messages, even though I have closed all my other programs, & all other files.
I have also regularly cleaned out my temp files.
I don't know much about hardware, but asked for a fast machine that could handle editing of large hi-res still photos, running the Adobe Standard suite.
I only work with still photos from photoshoots, or layouts in InDesign & Illustrator. I don't do any 3D or animation, or run any games, so I was told the PC & graphics card I bought would handle what I do.
I have set my Prefs in Photoshop Performance at the higher end of 'the ideal range'.
I have a brand new PC & Windows 7 & have only had it for 3 months, but only work on it 3 days a week so shouldn't need much defragging:
i7 - 860 CPU,
4GB DDR3 1333MHZ (2x2GB) RAM
500GB 7200RPM SATA HDD
ATI Radeon 4550 512MB PCle Graphics
I thought I should get 4GB more RAM but my computer boffin friend says that won't make a difference - as he checked my CPU usage in Task Manager & it is handling it. He thinks I might need a bigger Graphics Card, but he's not sure.
Does anyone know why I get the error messages? Will a better graphics card fix it, or there something else I need to reset, or do I have to put up with having to clean out temp files, shut down totally, then reboot, every 2 hours?
Thanks,
Gerooster.

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Can't open PSD's in PS.

QuickView, Preview.. etc. Can't Display PSD files

I've been having this problem for some time now - as far back as can remember with OS X.
When I try to view a psd file, (prior to Lep) in Preview or Xee, all I get is the transparent Alpha Channel - ie usually a solid blank neutral gray or checker board white and gray. And as of Leopard (and Snow Leo), this situation now includes Quickview. I get no actual image, or sometimes part of an image displayed, but never the full image that is displayed in PS or PSE.
The ONLY exceptions to this problem I have found is an ancient app called ACDSee v1.6.9 (2001) and Quicktime Player. Both display psd files perfectly.
The preferences to save Image Previews: Always Save, Icon, Full Size, Mac Thumbnail, Windows Thumbnail.
Am I saving psd files wrong somehow so that the default system apps can not display psd files properly?
BTW - this problem is completely consistent on EVERY system I have tried it on regardless of the OS X version (Tiger, Leo, Snow Leo) and Photoshop version (PSE 2, 4, 5, 6; PS 7, CS1, CS2).
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is a very irritating problem..
TIA

This isn't an issue or something you are doing incorrectly, PSD is an Adobe format that is not widely supported. You need to open it within your Adobe application, such as Photoshop.

Photo/Edit-In CS6. psd image does not show in LR after save/close.

Whenever I edit (a copy) of an image in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 4.3 (Photo/Edit-In), after I save and close the image in CS6 the new psd image does not show in Lightroom. In order to see the image in Lightroom, I need to close Lightroom and then reopen Lightroom. It is almost like Lightroom needs to "refresh". Does anyone have a solution that does not require me to close Lightroom? I have tried to use View/Sort by extension, filename, edit time, etc. with no effect.

This should not be so. I'm assuming that you do a <save> in CS6 - as opposed to <save as>. Only with <save> the image file will automatically be imported in Lr while <save as> creates a new file that Lr "knows" nothing about until you import it (for instance via "Synchronize folder").
If the behavior you describe follows a <save> in CS6 it is not normal.
This could be due to a corrupt Preference File. This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr does not replace the Pref. File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

Transparent PSD image in Illustrator changes color of vector background after print.

Hello, I really don't know how to explain this so I'll just upload my files which are located here: http://rapidshare.com/files/4040672260/Green%20circle.rar
I have a green vector background in illustrator and then I placed psd image over it and created PDF for press and under Color bitmap images I selected no compression.
After viewing image in Acrobat all seems ok, I even checked with picker, but after I send this to printer (xerox in thsi case) I end up with this: .
Both .psd and .ai are in CMYK color space. For this particular case I could use mask to cover up that transparent space but my original project has shadows which I cannot mask by vector :S.
Can someone plz explain to me what I am doing whrong or how to set color profiles or whatever is neccessary to avoid this issue. One thing I was using was, opening PDF in Photoshop and flatening all. Problem is that sometimes I need vector files and cut lines for cutter. Don't want to have bitmap, if I can have a vector? Also when I flaten image I do get same CMYK values in photoshop (with picker) than I have in Illustrator on vector object, but when I print this they don't match at all.
Does someone know a solution?
THANKS in advance and sry for my bad english.
Stefan

Nothing worng with your .ai or .psd file, prints fine here. Problem is with your tranparency flattening.
Most likely you can fix that by print >> Advanced >> Custom >.> Move slider all the way towards rasters.
If you need more help, let us knwo your printere, and screenshtos of your print settings can help.

Previews in Bridge & Vista -- can't compare .psd files because...

Vista won't show me a preview and Bridge only opens with one window.
It's important for me to clean out my backup by making sure that I have the most recent graphic file stored (I have multiple copies of files backed up at different times). I can't do this easily because I can't see .psd previews in Vista, and I can only open Bridge once. Therefore, I can't compare files that are in different locations & on different hard drives next to each other. Does anyone have a solution for this? (btw, I don't think Bridge is that hot of a program -- it's not very flexible and all it does is crash.)
Camille

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I reduced Bridge to compact mode & could then open multiple windows. I spent all morning cleaning & organizing my drives! I have a few more questions, though:
1. When you're looking at the folders in Bridge, all you see is a blank folder. It doesn't show a graphic of what's inside the folder the way that Vista does. Is there a way to get Bridge to do that?
2. When you're looking at folders in Vista, most graphic file formats generate a view of the image. But if the folder has Photoshop files in it, all you see is a .psd icon. I'm assuming there is no way to generate a view of a .psd file in Vista. But, even when I'm in Photoshop and doing something basic, such as opening a file, I don't get a view of the image (only an icon) unless I actually click on the file, then a view appears in the dialog box. I don't understand why the .psd files don't generate images in the program itself. I thought it might be a setting in my hardware that's not turned on, because this just doesn't make sense to me.
Thank you.

Can't reconnect Missing Referenced Masters

I have a library which is a mixture of Managed and Referenced Masters. Library on SSD and Referenced Masters on HDD.
A very small number of Masters have gone AWOL and I can't reconnect them. Using Spotlight, I can locate the actual Masters with Finder - they are just where I expect them to be, in a subfolder in a Folder called "Aperture Masters" on my HDD.
Here is an example
The badge on this image looks like this
When I choose Update from Master, I get this message
So then I try to reconnect via "Locate Referenced Files..." and get this message
These images are findable by filtering on "Missing" or "Offline"
All but one have the badge with the arrow and the yellow triangle.
One has a badge like this (a kind of inverted MobileMe sourced badge
Any ideas on how to reconnect?

Interesting. The User Manual I was reading is a PDF and it defines the badge as this. Note that the badge is flipped in the two versions and the PDF doesn't mention FaceBook or Flickr.
Seems I should re-download the User Manual

Certain psd images are saving darker as jpegs

I use Photoshop CS3.
Certain psd images are turning out darker after I save them as jpegs. The shadows are far more predominant and the images are significantly darkened. This only happens with photographs that I have edited over the past two or three days. All photographs that I have edited four days ago or more save exactly as they appear in photoshop. There is no darkening whatsoever. I can't figure out what is causing this recent batch of photographs to save differently.
Both batches are RGB 8 bits, Color Mode 3, with an ICC profile of sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
Thanks.

Is your display profiled and calibrated, and if so, what software/hardware did you do this with?
What version of Windows are you running?
It sounds as though your Windows Photo Viewer may not properly be using the document and monitor profiles to do color-management.
Windows Photo Viewer has been color-managed since at least as far back as XP SP3, but I'm wondering if your monitor profile just isn't being interpreted correctly. Perhaps it's in a format your OS software can't handle.
