Converting from photoshop to Flash

I do cartoons with photoshop but i want to add sound to them
but for this I need flash but i cant convert those files to
flash

tboparis,
you can export from P'shop in a number of formats that flash
can import - but retaining layers is
not supported - maybe now that Adobe aquired Macromedia that
will change (hint hint if Adobe reads
this).
There is a plugin called PSD2FLA:
http://www.medialab.com/psd2fla/
I have it and it wors great. A little pricey for some but it
has saved me hours and probably days of
work - so it was worth it for me.
otherwise you can, if you have Fireworks, open the PSD in it
and then save as and open that file in
Flash - i cant remember exactly how but i was able to retain
layers going through Fireworks once -
but transparency was hit or miss (mostly miss).
Other people have reported importing PSD files via quicktime
- but i have never had any success with
this.
Google may be your friend here.
hope this helps

Copying Bitmaps from Photoshop to Flash

There are a few things I really miss or find quite annoying when copying Bitmaps from Photoshop to Flash.
Life could be so much easier, but well, as so often, it isn't, because:
Why is the alpha channel discarded? I mean you can copy whole Ilustrator-Selections to Flash, but you can't copy an alpha channel in a bitmap from Photoshop
What about this (stupid) dpi-inclusion? Flash is a pixel-based application. It does not really help if you find a bitmap in the flash IDE library which natively has odd dimensions like 273.45 x 81.28 and you aren't able to change that in the properties. you could as well just delete this bitmap again, because bitmaps with odd dimensions and DPI don't really help in Flash (well this may be another case with bitmaps which are a part of a whole collection like when importing AI-content. But for a single bitmap?)
Is there at least an option to turn-of the DPI-conversion for single Bitmaps?
I think otherwise the DPI settings for the flash document and the settings in the PSD document should match. But that would be really tedious.
I always use a freeware program like irfanview to lose the extra DPI information which is just a big annoyance in many situations.
Well, that's about it

No, sort of. If you can live with the text EXACTLY as it is in
Photoshop, kill all the layer except the text and save as PDF from
Photoshop. Place the PDF in InDesign and it will retain its vector
properties and formatting. You will not be able to edit anything.

Importing From photoshop to flash

After importing from photoshop to flash to create a website, the background image that i had within photoshop was set to 1304x700 pixels but when i imported it into flash the image changed to the canvas size that i had made the document in photoshop which was 1000x700 pixels. Now i can change the size of the image when it has been imported into flash to 1304x700 but it obviously messes up my pic quality.
Can someone please help me lol im new to this. I might go mad shortly, ive tried importing it three times now.
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me.

Help loading an image from photoshop into flash..

I have a script written that will take an image open in photoshop, save a copy of it (as a jpeg), and I want to
open that file in a new flash window that I open. The property app.activeDocument.full name does not actually return
the full name, it returns "~/Desktop/Pictures/fileName.jpg", instead of "C:/Users/me/Desktop/Pictures/fileName.jpg".
I know I can do an image import from flash, but I would rather pass the information directly to the flash.
How can I pass the absolute file path to the flash from photoshop?

app.activeDocument.fullName.fsName will get you the full path to the file but if the document has not been saved it will throw an error.

Converting from Photoshop Elements 8 on PC to iPhoto on Mac

Just coverted(converting?) to an iMac and was hoping I could get some help.
I basically used 'Element's as a photo album with some edit. Is this what iPhoto is? Is it bettter?
In PS Elements I have a multitude of directories, tagged photod and I guess an overall catalog. Can I import all this into iPhoto?
Thank you very much in advance for your help. :-)

Similar but not the same. It's a different paradigm - a database - than you're used to with Elements.
iPhoto is a photo manager and is intended to replace the file manager entirely. Everything you need to do with your photos can be done with iPhoto or with another app, accessed via iPhoto. That's what being the Manager is about. So, import your files from your camera and then fterwards all your work is done in the iPhoto window.
For instance:
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
iPhoto is not an editor like Elements, it's has no compositing, for instance. It's more a digital darkroom. Take in your photos, process them to improve the over all look and feel. If you want to remove a telegraph pole from the background, then you use another app - accessed via iPhoto. So: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
All processing in iPhoto is virtual and non-destructive. Your original file is never touched and edits are never finalised until you export a version.
The managing abilities of iPhoto are rather greater than Elements: For instance a canned answer I sometimes use:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.
Best advice: Create a library, import 100 shots and explore. It's a good app, but not for everyone.

Convert from Photoshop Album to PSE8 fails

I'm finally making the move from Album 1.0/Elements 2 up to PSE8 on our new Windows 7 computer.
I copied all my files from the 'My Pictures' directory into the new computer 'My Pictures' directory. With Photoshop Album, I saved the catalog as My Catalog_original_album. The save_as feature created a My Catalog_original_album directory with just a tn.4.cache file inside and also created a My_Catalog_original_album.psa file. In the PSE8, I do the File->Catalog->Convert. I select the directory that contains the My Catalog_original_album.psa file. It fails at about 5% suggesting that I use the original program to 'repair' the catalog. I did a repair and re-save but it still fails.
Any suggestions?

Importing layer groups from photoshop to flash cs4

Hi everyone,
I have about 5 layer groups in Photoshop and in each of the groups/folders there are some layers with some text and other layers with isolated images and also layers with some layer styles. When I import this file into Flash I need each of the layer groups to be imported as a flattened bitmap image. I don't want any of the text to be editable or to have any of the layer styles intact. So if there are 5 layer groups in Photoshop, I just need five bitmap images in flash. I've tried doing this but it still imports the layers separately. I know I can flatten the groups in Photoshop but I want to keep this file editable.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Appreciate any help.

Harry Kunz wrote:
Then why not flatten it (BUT not save it) and import it into flash THEN revert the photoshop file (CTRL+Z) so it will still be editable version?
Yeah I know that's an option but I just thought there might be a quicker way, but maybe not.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Converting from photoshop to pdf.

I am using Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Reader X. I would like to know how to convert a multiple picture file in photoshop to an adobe pdf file so that it will fit to one cd. Any suggestions?

Probably a better idea to ask in the Photoshop forum. Reader doesn't have anything to do with PDF creation.

Dutch Map from Photoshop to Flash

Hello everyone,
I encountered a problem.
I made a map of holland in Photoshop and made a sepirate layer of each province (background is transparant).
I load it in Flash and now I find out that the selection of each province is square.......
meaning some provinces are unclickable after turning them into buttons because they cover eachothers space.
I tryed saving all provinces sepirate as .gif and .png but it doesnt change a thing (except it being more work).
Anyone got a suggestion for me?
Thanks in advance!

You don't want to copy and paste into Flash. You need to import the picture to the stage.
If you don't want the background, don't sve it as a PSD but rather a GIF with a transparency where you cut out objects.

Moving image from Photoshop to flash

I am a complete newbie to both softwares. I have cut out part of an image in photoshop that I want to import into flash. The image has the chequered background on it, which suggests that I have cut the areas I don't want out. The image is a .psd @66.7%(Layer0,CMYK/8*) whatever that means. I have tried copying it with the rectangular marquee tool and pasteing it into flash however it is bringing in the corners black which I have cut out and want to be opaque.
Is there any other way to do this so that the corners that I cut out in Photoshop do not come into flash as being a black background?
Many thanks

Importing a Layer Shape from Photoshop to Flash

Hi Guys,
I have a layer in photoshop that is shaped like an triangle, and I want to make it so that in flash when I hover over it, it changes to an 'active' version that is brighter, however whenever I try to import the layer (I've tried saving it as .bmp, .png etc) I can get it to import without the background, but the imported file is still a square (the image size). Essentially I need just the exactly outline of the layer, which is a shape, versus the entire size of the image, can anyone help?? Thanks!

There are only two options that I know of. You can redraw the triangle as a Flash object. Or, you can break apart the bitmap and remove the background parts of the image.

Text distortion when converting from QuickTime to Flash

I am converting a QuickTime video to Flash format. Both have
the same pixel dimentions - 200 x 150 - so I don't need to resize.
I am using the default "flash 8 - high quality" settings.
However, there is some large text on the opening screen of
the video that looks fine before conversion, but is distorted after
conversion. Any ideas how to fix?
Edited to add that I am using the Flash 8 Video
Encoder.

+*Resize Filter: Nearest Pixel*+
+*Deinterlace Filter: Fast (Line Averaging)*+
Try changing these settings to better. The best setting will definitely look better than the fast settings. If your very picky about how your video looks and have the time to kill try best.
Since your using multi-pass for the h.264 frame control, frame control will be read/used for each pass, adding (a lot) to the time of the encoding. One work around is to use Pro res to encode the video using frame control and then link (target) that encoding to the h.264 setting with frame control off.
Here's an excellent tutorial on using the link (target) function in Compressor:
http://pixelcorps.cachefly.net/macbreak-154-540p-h264.mov
One thing you need to set for the h.264 encoding that isn't mention in the above tutorial. In the Inspector/Geometry window for the h.264 encoding you need to set the video dimensions. You'll notice it is set to Automatic with no video dimensions. For some reason you'll get an error if the video dimensions aren't set.

Unable to print using PDF Converter from Photoshop

For years I have been able to select "Adobe PDF Converter" in my print dialogue box...resulting in the creation of a PDF file. Although the choice to use this printer driver is still an option, it won't generate a file. It gives me an error box, with no explanation as to what the error might be. Any ideas?
I'm using Photoshop CS3, and Windows Vista.

What version of Acrobat? Only Acrobat 9 is certified for Vista. Older versions do not cope with some of the driver and security stuff on Vista and therefore may not work correctly or not at all.

Converting from Photoshop CC

Hi,
I have downloaded a Trial version Photoshop CC and Edge Reflow CC.
But it doesn't show both psd import option on Edge Reflow, and Convert option on Photoshop.
I tried to download Photoshop first, and then Edge.
Also reinstalled a Edge's plugin to photoshop.
It would be great if somebody understands this problem and knows how to solve it.
Best,
Takuya

Hello Anirudh,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, that's what I expected, but strangely it doesn't display 'Generate' menu.
My version is 14.1.2 x64
For '~/Library/Logs/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC/Generator'
again strangely, there is no folder of Adobe Photoshop CC inside /Library/Logs/Adobe/. Please see my attached picture.
In my mac, there are several user accounts.
The Library directly seems not belonging to my user account, but to the mac itself. Maybe this causes the error?
Best,
Takuya
