CR2 Files to external editor rather than PSD or TIFF

Hi There,
I know that Aperture only supports TIFF and PSD files for external editor transfers, but is there any hope that in future versions you can choose to send the original CR2 file instead? I love Aperture and use it for a lot of things, but when I go to PSE I'd like to be able to go through the whole process with it including Camera Raw?

Will send the Raw to Elements, but it does remove one of the key reasons for using Aperture in the first place.
Regards
TD

"Use RAW files with external editor" greyed out for Photoshop CS2?

I've just upgraded from iPhoto 5, and the "Use RAW files with external editor" option in the advanced preferences is greyed out when I select Photoshop CS2 as my external editor (back in the General pane).
It works fine when Preview.app is selected. I can understand that pre-CS2 Photoshop wouldn't be available, but CS2 is capable of editing RAW images.
Has anyone been able to get iPhoto 6 to send a RAW image to Photoshop CS2 using this preference? I've written an Applescript to do it in iPhoto 5, but I'd rather use something cleaner...
15" PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Works great with Photoshop Elements, opens with Camera Raw. The issue is you can't save it so that iPhoto gets the changes.
You have to save it and then re-import. I tried all permutations of saving it in originals and modified folders in the library. No luck. The only thing I didn't try is to save it as a jpeg over the top of the full sized one iPhoto created on import.

I use Mail. How do I attach a file as an icon rather than showing the full text in the message?

Glad you got it working! Incidentally, if you have a relatively new Apple mouse (Magic Mouse or Mighty Mouse should work), you should be able to enable right-click, if you'd like it, by going to System Preferences - Mouse - and turning on "Secondary click". Third-party mice, like Logitech or Microsoft, should have right-click automatically.

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

Why my Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file.

My Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file. My OP is windows XP sp2.

Hi mha007,
Go to this site "http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_histvalues.htm"
Select any Index type and from dates select just one day or any number of days. Click "Get Details" button. This will open tabular data on loaded page (with link CSV file link at bottom).
When I click this link, it opens CSV file in new tab (in Firefox browser) and does not open download window (just as in case of other file formats like *.zip, *.rar or *.xls).
Right-click of link does not give "save as" or "save file" option.
Firefox is my preferred and default browser.
========
surprisingly, When I do same thing in IE6 browser, data-table page shows 2 options below table, i.e. (1) download file (2) open file.

Background of imported .psd file showing grey green rather than black?

Hi, the background of a .psd file imported into FCP is displaying a dull green background rather than black...do I need to coordinate the default FCP color profile with Photoshop or...?

When you reach a million points Apple sends you an email that explains the meaning of life.

As you gain points by giving people good answers the number of coloured bars under your user name increases. In theory, this lets others know how much knowledge you have on the subject and therefore how much they can depend on your replies.

Aperture 3.5 does not open all files in external editor (PS CS6)

When I select several photos in Aperture (which are parts of a panorama serie for example) and click choose to open them in the external editor (here Adobe Photoshop CS6), only a random subset are opened.
Aperture warns me if I want the (for example) 14 pictures to be exported for edition, I confirm, but I end up with only (for example) 9 photos in Photoshop. The missing ones can be any photos (not necessarily the first or latest).
Note that 9 is not an upper limit, I once opened 23 photos and only had 21 in Photoshop opened.
If I again select those same photos and choose to export them (either as PSD using the same format as with the Editor command, or asking for the original that was created for the external editor) to a folder. Then when I open all the photos at once form the finder (or Bridge) to Photoshop, I have all the photos in Photoshop. So Photoshop has no problem opening the files.
Do you have the problem too? How do you solve it?
For the time being I manually export the files, open them from the Finder, stitch them in PS and reimport the result in Aperture.
A bit tedious... If there is no work around, I will try to fiddle with some automation...
Final note:
PS CS6, Aperture and OS X are all at there latest respective versions (i-e respectively: 13.0.6, 3.5.1 and 10.9.2)

I was just noticing this issue with A2.0.1
Selecting multiple files in A2, only one would open in Photoshop.
I have found that, if when opening files from Aperture, the color setting profile in PS is different than the color tag in the image, such as sRGB vs aRGB, the mismatch warning appears and stops subsequent photos opening.
If the image profile matches the color settings in PS, then all selected photos open from Aperture to PS.

Accepting a command file as external editor

Hi,
It would be really nice if Lightroom could accept a .bat or .cmd file in the Preferences / External Editing dialog entries instead of only accepting executable names (.exe). This would allow to launch an external editor that needs more arguments than a mere filename on the command line.
Another solution would be to allow us to specify command line arguments directly when defining the external editor entry. For example, after specifying the executable, I'd like to have a field allowing to specify the command line arguments like this
-option1 -option2 <filename> (filename being a macro representing the current image filename).
If this field was left empty, then the default argument would be the filename as usual.
This simple feature would greatly enhance the external editing capabilities. For the moment, when I need this feature, I create a .bat file which I convert to an .exe by using a tool like Bat To Exe Converter. Then I specify this exe in the external editor entry. But it would be much more practical to specify the arguments directly in Lightroom.
Any thought about this?

Being able to run any command solves part of the problem, but not the whole problem.
The part it solves: getting the exported file(s) loaded up in the external editor (note: you may have multiple instances of the same program, in which case, it would be better to run a grand finale (after all files exported) export action instead).
The part it does not solve is: taking responsibility for saved files in said external editor.
Consider using Ottomanic Importer's "auto-sync selected folder" (sync continuously, add-in-place preset), along with run-any-command or post-export action, to automatically import saved files.
PS - I would love to see Adobe implement "advanced features" using lua config files, for those who are willing and able to do things like add command-line parameters to external editor command parameters.
Consider making official feature request here:

Backing up library to external drive rather than CD's??

Hi, does anyone know if you can perform the back up/incremental back up function in iTunes to an external hardrive (as opposed to a DVD or CD)?
I tend to back up everything on my computer to my 500G external drive these days instead of discs (more capacity, less messing around with multiple DVD's etc!). However itunes doesn't seem to give you that option, unless I've missed something obvious???
Thanks, Caroline

Generally, that's the better way to do it but you can't use the iTunes utility. Use Windoze Explorer to simply drag the entire iTunes folder to the external drive.
For subsequent backups, be sure to trash the existing backup first. If you don't do that, you will be adding files to the existing backup rather than replacing them. If something was deliberately removed from the library by you (or automatically by iTunes), you want to ensure that it's also removed from the backup.

Default large Excel file to client application rather than prompting for PowerBI

I have a user working with OneDrive for Business to share a 13MB Excel file that contains PowerPivot data. When a user clicks the shared link or the guest link they receive this message:
We cannot determine a way to open this file in the Excel client. Naturally we would like to default this file to open in the client rather than throw an error and a "free trial" option.
Why is there no button for "open with client application?"

Has anyone else experienced this?

How can I file at last location rather than location of current file?

I have Abobe Reader X. In the old Adobe, when I saved a file, it took me to the last folder I was in, not the location of the current file. Thus far, I have not been able to find out how to get Adobe Reader X to do this. I even asked work help desk for help and their solution to unclick 'Automatically save document changes to temp file' worked once.
Is it possible? This is what I want.
Example:
I open file that is saved at Y:Scanned Files and save it at
X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis. I open the next file that is at Y:Scanned Files and click on File:Save As/PDF and window opens to save at Y:Scanned Files rather than at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis, where I just was. I want to save file at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Afghans so instead of just one click, I now have to go through six. Now imagine you have 30 or 40 documents you have to save. That's minimum 180 clicks versus 30. A big difference. And if you multiply it further by daily and weekly, it's a lot.
How can I get Adobe Reader X to open the 'save as' window at the last location rather than the current file's address? I also have Adobe Acrobat, but can't figure out how to get it work in that either.
I do not like Adobe Reader X. Unfortunately, it got downloaded automatically at work.
Another complaint I have is when I have Adobe Acrobat open and I click on a pdf to open, rather than open in Adobe Acrobat, it opens in Adobe Reader X (which was not the case with the previous Reader). If I want to open a doc in Acrobat, I have to go to Acrobat and File/Open, which is a pain.
Another complaint is, why do you have 'save as' and then 'pdf' or 'text'? This is another time consuming click I have to make. Add it to the 180 I'm already making above and you can see why I'm extremely unhappy and frustated with this version of Adobe.
Please let me know if the above is feasible or not and if it is, how to do it. If it isn't feasible, please make the above adjustments to Reader Y and put it out pronto. Thank you.

Preview copy on PDF files produces a raster rather than a vector

I used to open PDF files with Preview and copy stuff out of it, then paste it in Keynote (or anywhere else) and obtain vector graphics.
Since some time when I copy stuff out of a PDF file I get an image, rather than a vector graphics. This is evident when you try to rescale the image and looses quality, whereas the vector does not.
This seems to be something that has to do with Preview, since if I open the same PDF with Skim and I copy anything out of it I get a vector, that scales perfectly when I paste it in Keynote.
Any idea what is going on with Preview? (on 10.9.5)
Cheers,
Roberto

In Windows you can right-click the Acrobat icon in the task bar and select Close All Windows.

Does mail always insert the pdf file into the email rather than attachment

How can I set mail to always attach pdf files as attachments rather than insert into the mail message?

But if you receive an email with a PDF attachment - which appears as text embedded in the email rather than an attachment are you really saying that the only way to solve this is to resend the email to yourself so that it will then appear as a PDF attachment?

Firefox is forcing Acrobat file to be saved, rather than opening it. How can this be fixed?

When I visit a website that has a .pdf file on it and I try to download the file, rather than opening up to be read, Firefox asks where it should be saved. It does not directly open the file for viewing as it had done last week. Thanks for any advice to address this problem.

I finally found the right fix in the reset section of Check Firefox settings. I clicked on "Help" and clicked on "Troubleshooting Information". Under "Application Basics", I clicked on "Open Containing Folder". A window with my profile files opened. I selected the "mimetypes.rdf" file and deleted it. I then closed the Mozilla program, rebooted my computer and then reopened Mozilla Firefox. Voila - It returned "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" in my settings. All is well.
