Change "save as" file format list

How do I change the file format order that is listed in the "save as" file format window? Instead of having "Photoshop" listed as the default file, I'd like to have JPEG at the top, then TIFF, PSD, etc. I have to constantly scroll down the list to find JPEG.

Edit: Actually one could probably Script a dialog with a file-format-dropdown-list of one’s own devising, but that hardly seems worth the trouble.
But with Configurator and some Scripting you can make a save-as-jpg (and save-as-psd and whatever) into a one-click operation.
See that is exactly what I think is wrong with Configurator it allows you to some cosmetics but no real customizations there are lots of formats I do not need ever. There are things I would rather have a menu item than as a panel selection and there things I would rather have that only do a coupe of options by default but you never get the opportunity of doing these things with this program.

Change default format in "save as" file format window

I month ago I asked the following question...
"How do I change the file format order that is listed in the "save as" file format window? Instead of having "Photoshop" listed as the default file, I'd like to have JPEG at the top, then TIFF, PSD, etc. I have to constantly scroll down the list to find JPEG."
Recently while selecting JPEG in the "save as" format window, I accidently selected "Large Document Format" while holding down either "control", "option", "apple key", or "shift", or a combination of keys. Now the default format in the format window is "Large Document Format" (ext.PSB). I've changed the default from "Photoshop" which is still listed at the top, to "Large Document Format". I'd like to change the default to "JPEG" but I cannot replicate the correct key(s) to change the default format in the window.

Hello TomGroup...
I did not receive a satisfactory answer to the question. Yes, you can go
into the Scripts but that is for experts and it is too much work.

Subject: Change default format in "save as" file
format window
Any updates on this issue?
I have a similar situation in that no matter what I'm working on, when I
click "Save As' then the default format option is always .tiff If I save
as jpg and then go onto my next file, the default is still tiff again when I
try to save No matter what I try, tiff is also my default selection. It's
just one of those things that takes a mere 5 seconds to click the dropdown
and select .jpg, but 5 seconds times a couple hundred files per day...it
adds up.

Save as file format CSV in Excel

Does anyone know the correct syntax on this one?
I have an excel file which should be saved as CSV.
This is what I came up with, but it doesn't run.
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
activate worksheet "worksheet1"
set fileSaveName to get save as file format CSV file format filename
save as filename fileSaveName
if fileSaveName is not "" then
display dialog "Save as " & fileSaveName
end if
end tell

It's not surprising it doesn't run but that's not entirely your fault. Excel has pone of the funkiest dictionaries around - I think they forgot to read the AppleScript Implementor's guide and instead tried to bolt VB on instead.
Anyway, I digress...
I'm not sure what you expect this line to do:
set fileSaveName to get save as file format CSV file format filename
but it's completely invalid. For one, save as is a command verb, not a function, so you cannot get save as.
If you read the dictionary for Excel's save as command you'll find:
save as sheet ¬
filename unicode text ¬
file format as ¬
password unicode text ¬
write reservation password unicode text ¬
read only recommended boolean ¬
create backup boolean ¬
add to most recently used list boolean ¬
overwrite boolean ¬
save as local language boolean
so the first, required, parameter is the sheet to save followed by any number of the optional parameters. Given the above, I'd expect your script to look more like:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
save as worksheet "worksheet1" file format CSV file format filename "whatever.csv"
end tell
which is completely bass-ackwards, if you ask me, but that's how it goes.

Illustrator CS3 Import and Export File Format list?

Hello,
Has anyone typed up an updated supported import and export file format list for CS3? I used to reference a support knowledgebase document, 1001741, (no longer on Adobe's site) that showed the majority of file formats and versions that Illustrator was able to import. I searched all over and couldn't find one, then called support and they confirmed they no longer had a list like that available--they had split the import options into separate lists--like what versions of Photoshop files, what versions of .eps files, .tiff files etc. Illustrator CS3 could open.
The reason I was looking because I wanted to see what version Corel file CS3 could open after I was not able to open a customer's v.12 .cdr file.
Thanks,
Rick H.

I am pretty sure that the last supported version of Corel that AI can open is version 10.

I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files. This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

How do i change the webpage file format when saving a webpage?

whenever i try to save a webpage it automatically does so using a chrome html format. windows does not recognize this format. how do i change it? thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by a "chrome html format."
I save pages all the time with Firefox 3.6.16 (and now 3.6.17) and have no problems.
When you select Save Page As, it opens a dialog window so that you can indicate where the page is to be saved.
In the Save as Type dropdown list are format options - "Web page, Complete", "Web Page, HTML only", and "text files"
If you select Web Page, Complete, Firefox saves the HTML file and creates a folder where it stores all the other files associated with the page. If you then open the HTML file, it should display properly in Firefox (or any other browser).,
If you select Web Page, HTML only, Firefox saves only the HTML file, no other files are saved.
If you select text files, Firefox saves only the text, it does not save any of the HTML. Basically, you get what you can see on the page without any of the formatting.
I've never seen an option, in Firefox 3, to save a file as a "chrome html format."
I've only see what I described above.
One other thing, I suggest you upgrade to Firefox 3.6.17. At 3.6.10 you are quite a way back and have missed some security updates.
I don't think you can use the update link under the Help menu, you may have to go to the Firefox site and download it manually. It would not hurt to look for some instructions as to how to go from 3.6.10 to 3.6.17.

How can I change the default file format in PSE 10?

I just upgraded from PSE 6 to PSE 10. In the former, the default file format when saving an edited image in the editor was psd. In 10, it is jpg. I prefer to save in psd, which means I have to select psd from the format drop-down menu for each save. I've looked for a way to change the default but can't find one. Is there a way?

Ah, I see that you're right -- editing that doesn't require adding a layer defaults to saving as the original image's file type. Adding a layer causes the default "Save As" file type to switch to PSD.
I don't know of any way to change that.

Changing smart object file format

I've got a great problem with the smart objects in my project:
I imported some Images (no background) which had the file format 'png'. I just dragged and dropped the files into my current photoshop window. They got imported and then automtically converted into smart objects.
After that I created a lot of copies of these smart object and transformed them.
Now I wanted to change one of the smart objects and double clicked on it. But unfortunately the opened file is a png. So it's not possible to save layers in this smart obejct
Is there any way to change the file format of a smart obejct (like psb/psd)?

Yes. Open an SO into a doc window/tab, edit it or whatever, do a Save As to PSD (or any other format). It'll be saved into a temporary folder. Close the SO doc window/tab. In the main doc window/tab, right-click the SO's name in Layers panel, pick Replace Contents and select the file you saved in the temporay folder. All instances of the SO will be auto-updated.

How do I change the default file format for saving files in Preview

I often take screen clips and save them as files to my desktop, then upload them to my website or include them in emails. The default file format for Preview seems to be TIFF, but I'd prefer jpg. How do I convince Preview to use jpg as the default file format?
TIA,
Thad

I should have been a little clearer...
If I'm emailing a screen-clip, I can just paste it right into the email, but I post on a lot of discussion boards and it's often nice to be able to include a screen shot in those. My preferred way to do that is to post the clip at my personal website and then put a link in the post. It gives me the ability to delete the image whenever I want (a plus for any security freak) and it works on every discussion board I know. Some boards allow attachments, some don't. Plus I don't want to have to remember different d/b file attachment procedures. Anyway, when I make a screen-clip, I need to temporarily save it (usually to my desktop), then ftp it to my website. I use Preview to do that. It's simple. But I'd like it to default to .jpg instead of .png or .tiff. (FWIW, I just tried it and the default was .png, but I swear I did something similar earlier that defaulted to .tiff when I first tried to save the newly-created file).

Save as File Format miss aligned

When saving as in photoshop CS6 on a mac pro Lion 10.7.4 The File format are inncorect I save as a tiff and get sct I have to save as Photoshop DCS1.0 to get a tiff file If there are a wider range of file formats available when saving an rgb formattted image it is some times very difficult to work out which option to choose presently saving everything as psd as it is simpler.
Also when opening files, the enable selection box is alway set to a blank and i have to scroll down to the last two option to get "all readerble documents"   or "all documents"
Any one eles having thes issues I have added the odd file formatt they seeme to work fine but could i assume be casusing an issue.

          AdobePSDXFileLoader.plugin

Yes you are partially correct I did go to each of the developers site and download the latest versions of the plugins Just forgot i will have to wait a few months before they will catch up.   But to be fair the files format plugins have been fairly forgiving in previous versions obviously not in this. I keep on having to remind myself just why i have all these versions of photoshop on my machine.
Never mind its great paying for a the complete work flow solution that falls down beacuse thirdparty developers are not up to speed ie Font Management maybe that something you should bring in house

Change in AAC file format?

I have a 3rd party music player (the Archos 604 WiFi) with the podcast plug-in (which includes support for non-protected AAC files). I can play AAC files created (i.e., ripped) with iTunes 7 just fine, but it has trouble with AAC files created with older versions of iTunes. Has the AAC file format changed? Is there a way to convert older AAC files to what seems to be a newer AAC format? I don't want to have to re-rip my entire library (26 GB) again when I am not even changing the format.

It doesn't matter which adapter you are using that approach will work. Any custom modification of the output column order which overrides the calc sequence can be done in the Export Action script. Be aware though that any changes to Action script will affect your support agreement with Oracle if you have one. Therfore it may be best to put any custom output in the AftExport event script.

Lightroom 5.3 - Export not applying changes to all file formats

Using Lightroom 5.3 with Camera Raw 8.3 on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.2
Camera is a Canon EOS 70D, working with Raw files.
Just noticed that when applying a range of changes to an image - Tone / Presence / Noise / Crop / Sharpening (and others)
When exporting the image
- export to JPG, TIFF and PSD works ok, all changes applied correctly
- export to Raw and DNG do not include changes applied to image - original image is exported
Not a show stopper as I have usable formats, but would like all file formats available for flexibility.
Anyone else noticed this ?
Chris.

A RAW file is a RAW file.
DNG is also a RAW format
Lightroom will not alter RAW fomat files on export, as in develop edits.
(it will record those edits in metadata if asked so another application capable of interpreting Lightroom edits can read and apply those edits - like ACR.)
DNG exports can be altered to various flavours of DNG but that does not include develop edits.
A colourspace can also be added as appropriate.
The other formats are derivative files and develop edits are baked in on export.

HELP! Modify SAVE dialog file format options?

Can someone please tell me how to modify the options in the save dialog?
Every time I save a file and have to choose the file type, I have to scroll through obscure and obsolete file types. Sure, I might need someday to save Scitex CT, or Photoshop DCS, but the chances are very slim. Some people surely use PIXAR and TARGA, but I don't. What the hell is an IFF? If I ever need a Portable Bit Map (really?) file it would be great if I could find it in a user defineable option pull down. I can pretty well guarantee that the file types I need are PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PNG and once in a blue moon, GIF.
Sure, this is a minor thing, but after years of saving thousands upon thousands of files its like being pecked to death by ducks.
Thanks.

Change the export file format

Hello,
I got a request that i need do the following changes for the existing FDM location.
1. Change the export file column order. e.g
Before: a,b,c,d
After: b,d,a,c
2. Remove the header of the export file. e.g
Before: Entity Product Account
"NA" "NewProduct1" "100"
After: "NA" "NewProduct1" "100"
I can not change the calc order in the adapter since many FDM locations are using the same adapter. And many FDM locations are using the same export action script.
Do you have any idea how can i do this ?
Thanks,
