Crop Settings: CC different from CS5/Possible to change settings?

I just recently joined CC; I used to use CS5. Back in CS5 when I would crop a picture/change the dimensions simply by dragging a corner with no additional buttons pressed. It would show me the entire picture, but the parts that were not within the crop box would be faded, to show exactly which parts of the picture would not be shown. In CC, those faded parts are completely gone. It will not show me the entire picture as I am cropping it. Is there a way to change that setting, back to what I had with CS5?

Oh so that's what "Delayed" does. Thanks Peter! Your solution worked perfectly

Is Photoshop CS6 different from CS5?

I recently went back to school to expand my career skills and the next class in line for me, is Photoshop. I’m trying to find out if I’m OK with CS5 or if I need to upgrade to CS6. As I just mentioned, I currently have CS5. For a couple classes I completed this year (Flash and Dreamweaver), I was able to use CS5 without any issue, limitations, or instances of “Yeah that can be done, but only on CS6.” I also did not have instances in the class lessons of “You can do this, but not if you’re on CS5.” However, from what I heard/read, Photoshop seems to have had the most significant changes in the CS6 update.
Here are my questions:
Please, from a technical perspective only, do I need to upgrade to CS6? Will being on CS5 on my home computer put me at a disadvantage in class when I'm being taught via CS6? Is Photoshop CS6 significantly different from CS5 where if being taught via CS6, I would be lost or very limited on CS5? When you upgraded to CS6 did you feel like you were learning a new program, or was it the same as CS5, just with a few new “nice to have” features?
Again, please provide information from a technical perspective only. If the decision to spend $2000 for CS6, was based on preference, I would have had CS6 a long time ago. Also, please don’t recommend CC because I’m not ready to upgrade to subscription based software yet.
Thanks!

Have you tried running the trial version of CS6 for 30 days to get a feel for the software and perhaps answer for yourself the many questions you obviously have?

InDesign CS6 export to EPUB works different from CS5.5 ?

With CS5.5 I have a Paragraph-Style set to place a space of 10 mm before. When I export to EPUB it works fine.
With CS6 the same style doesn't work: any space is left before the paragraph.
With CS5.5 every "Return" (End of paragraph) with blank paragraph (paragraph without characters - only return) is eliminated during exportation to EPUB.
With CS6 also blank paragraph are exported as they are to EPUB.
So, with CS5.5 I had to define particular style in order to obtain spacing between paragraph: How have I to do with CS6 ?
Have I to use only return to create spacing ?
All works done with CS5.5 are so incompatible to CS6 ?
Thanks in advance.
Selene

I'm a firm believer in writing your own CSS but, there was, IIRC, a bug in CS6 that affected paragraph spacing in EPUB. Are you patched to 8.0.1?

[JS] [CS5] Possible to change "Paragraph Spacing Limit" with a Script

Hi,
right now I'm writing a simple script which formats some text. For this formatting I need the vertical Justification "Justify" with a "Paragraph Spacing Limit" but I can't find something helpful.
Does anyone know how to set the limit to a specific value?
Thanks in advance, Statixx
Here's my not yet finished Script
Edit: script edited, had a few major mistakes
#target InDesign
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var mySelection = myDocument.selection[0];
var myParagraphLength = app.selection[0].paragraphs.length;
var myParagraph = app.selection[0].paragraphs;
var myTest
mySelection.visibleBounds = [0,0,30,90];
mySelection.textFramePreferences.insetSpacing = [3,3,1.5,3];
mySelection.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.JUSTIFY_ALIGN;
if ( myParagraphLength == 3) {
       var myPara0 = myParagraph[0].contents;
       var myPara1 = myParagraph[1].contents;
       var myPara2 = myParagraph[2].contents;
        myParagraph[0].pointSize = "13pt";
        myParagraph[0].leading = "13pt";
        myParagraph[0]. fontStyle= "Bold";
        myParagraph[1].pointSize = "10pt";
        myParagraph[1].leading = "10pt";
        myParagraph[1].leftIndent= "10";
        myParagraph[2].pointSize = "10pt";
        myParagraph[2].leading = "10pt";
        myParagraph[2].fontStyle= "Bold";
        myParagraph[2].leftIndent= "10";

Hi,
That is a textFramePreferences property
mySelection.textFramePreferences.verticalThreshold = Number (range 0- 8640)
ID Object Reference says:
"...The maximum amount of vertical space between two paragraphs. Note: Valid only when vertical justification is justified; the specified amount is applied in addition to the space before or space after values defined for the paragraph..."

PS CS5 Image Display Differs From Used ICC Profile In Win 7

Hi,
on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine, I just calibrated my Dell SP2309W monitor using an i1DisplayPro and basICColor 5, creating a ICC v2 profile (I am aware of the problems under Windows with ICC v4 profiles).
It created the ICC profile and applied it to be used by Windows. I double checked under COLOR MANAGEMENT that the new ICC profile is being used. Although I can see that the new ICC is being used (desktop appearance changes), there are a few issues I am experiencing:
(1.) Windows Photo Viewer
The thumbnails in Windpows Explorer look fine (they DO use the new ICC profile), when I double click a jpeg and open the image it DOES NOT use the new ICC profile. When I click the PLAY SLIDESHOW button (starting the slideshow) in the opened image in Windows Photo Viewer, the images DO use the new ICC profile.
(2.) Internet Browsers
All current internet browser (Firefox, IE, Safari and Chrome) DO use the new ICC profile and display the image correctly.
(3.) Photoshop CS 5
When I open the same image - that Windows Photo Viewer does not correctly displays (according to the new ICC profile) - in Photoshop CS5, I get the same image display that Windows Photo Viewer gives me (when not thumbnail or not in slideshow mode) - it appears to be the sRGB display.
My color settings in PS CS5 are: North America General Purpose 2 > sRGB IEC 61966-2.1.
When I go to View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB I get the image display using the new ICC profile.
Why does the image look different in PS than my calibrated monitor should output ?
I was under the impression (please correct me if I am wrong), that the sole purpose for calibrating my monitor was to get a uniform display across (ICC aware) applications. Even when one applies different color spaces to a document in PS, I thought the output on my calibrated screen done by the graphic card should always be according to my calibration and the settings in the ICC profile being used.
What Am I doing wrong or what am I misunderstanding ?
Any help or input is appreciated !
Thanks.

Hello,
A note on monitor calibration: calibrating your monitor will not guarentee that every application will display color correctly, it's more of a step along the pipeline, and for the preview part of a color workflow it's the last step. Here's how color translation follows for an ICC workflow when previewing to a monitor:
Image Color Numbers > Document Tag or Workspace Profile > Monitor Profile
For non-color managed applications, if the original document is or isn't tagged with a color profile it will be translated directly to the monitor profile anyway. This is the equivalent in Photoshop of selecting "Monitor" in soft proofing. Selecting monitor in softproofing will bypass the tagged or workspace profile to translate colors directly through the monitor profile.
For most automatic color managed applications (like Firefox), the image will be translated through the tagged profile and then sent through the monitor profile. If the image is untagged or the profile is unrecognized, the colors get sent directly to the monitor profile.
For Photoshop, a tagged document will have its profile respected and then sent to the monitor. An untagged document will be assigned the workspace profile, which acts like a temporary document profile, and then gets sent to the monitor. This is often why users will notice Photoshop behaves differently from other applications. It's usually a case of the workspace coming into play. By default the workspace profile is set to sRGB. You can change this in Edit > Color Settings.
The purpose of the workspace is originally for printing workflows, as a way of keeping consistant color translations when dealing with both tagged and untagged documents. For web output workflows it can be useful for viewing everything through sRGB, which is typical of the average monitor output (not so with newer wide-gamut monitors, another source of confusion...) combined with the fact that originally most web browsers were not color managed. Hence viewing everything through sRGB is pretty close to what most monitors see and what untagged/unmanaged docs will look like.
Monitor calibration is useful only because it brings your monitor output to a "known state". In traditional workflows the monitor was always a middle-man, a preview device which was useful for getting an idea of what the printed output would look like before you print it. Since print colorspaces are often smaller than display spaces, it's feasible and useful to narrow down the monitor/display space and calibrate it to a known state, so that even if it doesn't totally match the print, you'll get used to its differences/limitations and they'll be consistent so long as the calibration is maintained.
For web output, your final output is often another user's computer monitor, which can have any form of behavior (most standard monitors are pretty close to sRGB, or use sRGB as an operating system workspace (default monitor profile). Wide gamuts behave differently, but I'm not sure if there's a particular ICC space that they closely match, or if different wide-gamuts are even that close to each other in their display color spaces.
Hope this helps!

Migrating settings, actions, plug-ins etc. from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud)

Hi,
I wondered if someone could help me with the transition from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud). I'm on a Mac with Mountain Lion.
I would like to migrate as many settings (i.e. workspaces where relevant), personal Photoshop actions, plug-ins (i.e. Type DNA, FontShop [Photoshop], Scriptographer [Illustrator] and Blurb Template Creator [InDesign]) as possible from CS5 to CS6. What is the easiest and smoothest way to do this?
Some settings, actions and plug-ins might not work with CS6, I don't know. I can't find where my Photoshop actions are archived atm.
Can I import extensions from Adobe Extension Manager CS5 to Adobe Extension Manager CS6?
Should I uninstall all CS5 apps? I'd like to keep InDesign CS5 for backwards compatibility at least.
Does Audition completely replace Soundbooth? What about Flash Catalyst, Device Central and OnLocation?
Edit: I have already installed all the Creative Cloud applications btw. But I haven't uninstalled any CS5 apps yet.
Thanks,
Eivind

Hi Elvind,
I would suggest keeping both CS5 and CS6 versions on the system until you are fully transitioned, longer if you want. When you launch Photoshop CS6 it will ask you if you want to import settings from the prior version. Third party plug-ins may or may not be compatible between versions so you might need to check with the manufacturer to find out. You would most likely need to reinstall any third party plug-ins that integrate into existing Adobe product installations though.
I found this document for Photoshop CS6
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preset-migration-photoshop-cs6.htm l
For the PS actions, I normally open the actions panel, highlight the actions set (folder) I wanted to migrate, from the flyout menu of the panel choose the option to save the set, this creates the .atm file. There is another option for importing actions in the same menu.
I can't speak to migrating in relation to the other products. I would recommend posting in the respective product forums.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

First of all, GarageBand iOS allows for only one tempo and there is no Merge Song feature.
What you can do.
Switch between the songs and copy-paste the individual Tracks. You can also Merge Tracks if you run into the 8 Track limitation.
Hope that helps

Is it possible to sort dimension values in order different from alphabetic?

Is it possible to sort dimension values in order different from alphabetic. То use this sorting in BI Beans. In 10g r2 with awm 10.2.0.2. I try to add attribute like it was show in this forum, but nothing changes.

Could be usefull if you use java AW api... here's the java code I'm using to create the sort_order attribute
Dimension myDim = yourAW.findDimension("DIMNAME");
Attribute myAttr = myDim.createAttribute();
myAttr.setName("freename");
myAttr.setClassification("DEFAULT_ORDER");
myAttr.setIsDefaultOrder(true); // TO NOT FORGET
myAttr.setDataType("INTEGER");
myAttr.Create(AWConnection);
globalAW.Commit(AWConnection);
It creates a variable - integer - that defines the default order of the dim values. I'm viewing it with AWM and BIBeans. The order is respected with Level-based and Value-based hierarchy but my hierarchies are really simple and unique for all the dimensions.
BUT !!!! Be carefull, if you don't have any hierarchy in your dimension, you must have at least one level - the default NONE level. Otherwise, it won't work ???

Results are different when printing from CS5 and CS4

A file that printed fine with Photoshop CS 4 printed very dark when printed with CS5, with no changes made to the settings. Has anyone else had this problem?

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Best way to transfer settings from CS5.5 to CS6

I am trying out CS 6 Creative Cloud and want to copy my settings from CS5.5. Is there any easier way to do this than re-creating them through the UI? It would take such a long time to re-enter my preferences, shortcut keys, search queries, window layouts, &c, manually that the trial period would be over before I finish!

Look at Replace Your Preferences for a list of things you should be able to back up and transfer easily. The only thing that might casue a problem that I can think of is custom shortcut sets, but I think CS5.5 and CS6 are similar enough that they won't casue abberant behavior (the same was not true going from CS4 into CS5).

Importing of settings from CS5.5 is incomplete.

When I installed Photoshop CS6, I opted to import the presets from CS5.5. My custom workspace in both Photoshop and Bridge were included, but the custom actions I regularly use in Photoshop, and my Favorites in Bridge, were not. Until the import/export option can be made more comprehensive, Is there a document available somewhere for how to manually import all custom settings, both global and in individual user profiles? I need this not just for Photoshop, but for the entire Creative Suite.

Hello cwcsdc,
Preset migration only works on Photoshop presets that are saved in the default presets folder. On Mac this is on /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets and on Windows they are in the user AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets folders.
Best thing you can do is to copy all your presets to the respective folders within those directories. If your presets are not in these folders, they will not show up in the app UI anyways, so moving them will help you reach them easier.
Sadly, we can't account for presets from the other apps in the Creative Suite.
Hope this answers your questions.

Preflight settings from CS5 to CC?

Hi!
I was just wondering how I install the preflight settings from CS5 to CC? Will they work the same? I really need to know this before I update to CC.

In CS5 click the Preflight panel menu and choose Define Profiles...
In the next dialog pick (one at a time, unfortunately), the profiles you want to move in the list on the left, then click the Preflight profile menu button (on the right, below the list) and choose Export Profile, then save in a convenient location.
In CC, do the same, except instead of exporting a profile click the button and choose Load Profile.

[ID CS5] Change imported .ai crop settings after placed.

Hi,
I have a file with a few hundred illustrator files which have been placed into an indesign file. I would like to change the crop settings to trim. Is there a way of doing it without re placing all of the files?
To explain it better, what you would normally do is click file > place and check the show import options. A dialog box would then appear asking where to crop the file. Is there a way of getting this dialog box / change the crop options after the file has been placed.
If someone could write a script for this, I would happily shoot over some beer money(£10), as it will save me hours.
Steven.

Awesome! There's a preference that controls whether manually re-placed images retain their scale. But looks lke you found the better way.
While we're here, I would tend to shy away from naming the variable, "image," because in the InDesign DOM Image is a subclass of Graphic, but your code operates on all Graphics (EPS | Image | ImportedPage | PDF | PICT | WMF).
Enjoy!

Is it still possible to upgrade from cs5 web premium to cs5.5 ?? If so, where and how?

I can't find any reference regarding upgrading from cs5 to cs5.5
My reason is so i can install the DMXzone Bootstrap extension which requires Dreamweaver cs5.5 (11.5)
Can anyone help please?
Many Thanks

CS5.5 is no longer sold by Adobe so you can no longer upgrade to it. You can upgrade to CS6 since that is still being sold.
