Crop tool prior to CS6 vs perspective crop tool

In the old days, one could just use the crop tool and, while drawing crop lines, check the perspective box if you found that you needed to change the perspective. With CS6 if you start with the crop tool, and find you want to change the perspective, you have to change tools to the new perspective crop tool. In the process, you have to tell the newly opened dialog box that you don't want to crop, to get to the perspective tool, which now has reset to its defaults. You've lost your cropping and you have to start over.
Is this the correct behavior, or am I missing something?
Thanks . . .

And as far as I can tell, even if you set the perspective crop tool to constaints, like 8x10", those constraints are totally ignored, even if you use the shift key. All of these features did work with the old crop tool. And if you wanted to change the perspective, all you had to do was click a button. It seems like we have taken one step forward, and two steps back.
The W and H are not intended to be constraints on the source aspect ratio. They are for optionally specifying the destination dimensions.
Perspective Crop Tool is a specialised tool that the designers never will have intended to be used as an alternative to a non-distorting cropping tool.
The user is expected to be sourcing a non-rectangular quadrilateral that's to be distorted into a rectangle, so there is no reason for the tool to feature an aspect ratio constraint for the source region.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't have the option of the CS5-style crop tools in CS6. I am only saying that I can understand why the new PCT doesn't have the same features as a regular crop tool.

Why did you omit the perspective check box in the crop tool?

I used the perspective frequently because I have sciolosis & most of my photos are askew. that easy checkbox was very convenient.

Perspective Cropping is now its own tool, right under the Crop Tool in the Tools Bar.

Top 15 Issues/Fixes Needed in the next Premiere Pro release/update (CS6.5 or CS7)

I’m excited for what’s coming next in Premiere Pro CS6.5 or CS7 (whichever update is next). As a former FCP7 user myself, Premiere CS6 was a quick and necessary switch (especially after changing the main keyboard shortcuts back to what I was used to). I’ve since gone back to FCP7 on occasion for certain things and I can tell you that I’m so glad I’ve switched. For all the headaches and serious errors that I still get daily/weekly with Premiere Pro CS6, it’s still definitely a big step up. I'm encouraged by staff members like Mitch W. that have expressed confidence that many of these issues will be resolved in the next release. Here is my personal list of “Top 15 issues/fixes” needed in the current Premiere Pro CS6…
(Adobe STAFF...feel free to print this out and hand it to the engineers responsible for making changes )
1) The infamous multicam FLAW. Needing no introduction…when you are editing your video in the multicam window and you hit pause or stop Premiere has decided that’s a great time to make a cut on your timeline and also switch angles back to the original angle whether you like it or not. You cannot stop ever while editing multicam without Premiere making these unwanted cuts and angle changes. Awful. Multicam in PPro is otherwise pretty nice, but this issue is terribly counter-productive especially when you are editing longer complex multicam sequences. Imagine if every time you hit pause or stop in the regular timeline it made a cut there and switched clips. Ugh. You get my point.
2) The audio meters/levels do not work while in the multicam window. A staff member in the forums (I think it was you) said this was a bug. Hope it will get fixed. The audio levels work in every other window and its essential to be able to keep an eye on the levels while editing multicam.
3) Ticktime.cpp-207 error. Ugh. What a nightmare. I have confidence that it will be fixed soon. Mitch W. from the forums is my new hero for taking on this error. How to replicate it?…simply have 6 (or 7) or more clips with the warp stabilizer effect added on the same timeline as a nested multicam clip and you get this error upon reopening your project. The more warp stabilizers you use, the more times you’ll have to hit “continue” to get through the error before you can open your project or export it to AME. I deal with this every single day because all my projects use these two elements. Most of my projects I have to hit “continue” on the error message upwards of 350-450 times to open my projects. Gets old fast.
4) Icon View order control. When you display all your clips in icon view instead of a list view (In the project window), there is no metadata to allow you to put the clips in order somehow (or at least maintain the order that you have in the list). There are roundabout workarounds, but c’mon.
5) Warp Stabilizer fixes…it is an AMAZING tool (far, far, far better than smoothcam in FCP7) BUT…it has it’s issues. Since I use hundreds of times/week (no exaggeration) I know it’s functions/flaws really well. The issues with Warp Stabilizer:
a) #3 above
b) Toggle OFF the effect after it’s applied and then hit Analyze again and PPro crashes. (easy to avoid but annoying bug)
c) If a clip is in the middle of stabilizing (not just analyzing…but the final step labeled “analyzing”) when Auto-save comes up…most of the time PPro freezes and crashes.
d) The DEFAULT “method” (in the settings for Warp Stabilizer) should NOT be “Subspace Warp”…it should be “Position, Scale, Rotation”. Why? It’s FAAAAARRRR better and more efficient. 95 out of 100 times it causes MUCH less “wobble” in the final stabilized clips AND most importantly 95 out of 100 times it scales the video less. Way better method.
6) The ability to open multiple projects simultaneously. As simple as FCP7 had it…or even better…as cool and efficient as FCPX does it would be nice.
7) The ability to mark a clip and not just a point on a timeline (because if you move the clip, the marker doesn’t go with it). I know you can use “Clip Marker” but it's very limiting, can't be moved, can't add notes, can't advance to the next marker (as far as I know). Also a marker list like FCPX has would be nice so you can see your markers all in a list at a glance and adjust them as needed.
8) Ability to select a clip in the Project window and find out where it’s used in the timeline. I LOVE how you can do the reverse and take a clip in the timeline and “Reveal in Project Window” but it would really help to go the other way around. Dealing with several hundred clips for every project I’ve missed this feature from time to time (FCPX handles this really well).
9) Add a through-edit indicator in timeline and “re-join clips” option. If you cut a clip but keep both clips together it’s just one continuous clip. But I really hope Premiere adds the not only an indicator of some sort (like FCP7′s way of having two small red triangles facing each other on that cut) so you know it’s one continuous clip BUT ALSO the ability to right-click and “re-join” the two clips into one.
10) When clip is double-clicked in timeline, CTI position in source viewer should match location in timeline. This one is pretty annoying and a fix would be incredibly helpful. The way it is now is very counter-productive. Definitely hope this gets fixed ASAP.
11) Better border controls for images/videos. Can’t do much with images right now in PPro. At least allow to customize the color and size/strength of it’s borders and shadows.
12) Better support for Mac/Apple's top end computers/GPU's. I'm still surprised that 2011 top of the line iMac cards (AMD 6970M) that have 2gb of ram are not supported. I’m sure/I hope 2012 iMac’s will be supported with their new Nvidia GPU’s…but I’ll hold out hope that the top iMac (up until 3 months ago) is supported at least at it’s full power. All around better Mac support would be great considering the wave of new users coming over from FCP.
13) Opacity/Transparency issues with EXPORTED videos with Cross Dissolves, etc. For some odd reason videos exported from Premiere CS6 have issues with cross dissolves or minor transparency. I’ll try to explain…in the program window of PPro CS6 cross dissolves look fine. Also, if you take a clip and stack it on top of another clip and put the top clip at say 99% opacity instead of 100 it looks like it should in PPro. But, if you export the clips you’ll quickly see that there are issues. It’s almost like the exported videos dissolve from 5 to 95. They skip the subtle beginning (0-5%) and subtle end (95-100%) of any fade. A clip in PPro as described above that is on top of another but set at 99% will look more like 90-95% in the exported file ESPECIALLY if the two clips are contrasting (eg. top layer dark, bottom layer with bright elements). It’s like the opposit of ease-in/ease-out. I have to ease-in/ease-out of every dissolve to avoid this issue…and even then, it’s not THAT much of an “ease” as one would hope. Another user in a forum once posted a video that shows how abruptly exported videos end their transparency changes…see: THIS SAMPLE VIDEO Perhaps this is a GPU/processing issue with AME vs. Premiere Pro but whatever it is, it should be fixed so videos you export look like the videos you edited!
14) Better control in Creative Cloud over which devices are “activated/deactivated” We have 3 computers and it would be nice if one could log in to their Creative Cloud account and see a list of which devices they have and just toggle on/off which one’s are activated/deactivated. This is especially helpful when you are mobile and forget to deactivate one of your two home/office devices so you’re stuck now until you get back to the home/office to deactivate it. This is not a Premiere thing, but just a general wish.
15) Ability to sync multicam clips automatically using the audio. Plural eyes apparently does this well. Would be nice to have it built into Premiere like FCPX does. Select all the shots you want to sync, One button click, wait a few seconds, done.
That’s my top 15. Everything else is awesome in my opinion for what I do 10 hours a day 6-7 days a week. I’ve included bug reports/feature requests for all of these at one point but if you are someone else reading this go to the following link and ask for these issues to be fixed: FEATURE REQUEST/BUG REPORT
I wish Adobe did smaller updates more often. Because even if they were smaller updates, we’d at least know you are working on fixing some of these issues that have plagued this NLE for years. Holding off fixes for one or two big “updates” every year is tough to deal with in a world of the ever updating apps we live and play with daily on our phones. I realize Premiere is a much larger scale and far more professional than a phone app, but hopefully you get my point. Here’s to hoping the next release (NAB 2013?) resolves all my top 15 issues. Here’s to hoping that these issues will be resolved sooner than later so I can stop raising hell in various forums. I’m honestly ready to start praising and defending Premiere Pro instead of griping about it’s bugs and flaws. It’s a fantastic program “on the way” to being the best. I hope.

Nice list, however it does seem a little bit like you may be hoping that Adobe provides the Final Cut 8 package that Apple never delivered on. Having edited primarily with P-Pro for the last decade, I hope Adobe focuses more on getting the next release to run as smooth as CS5x does, strangling and crucifying all the codec and playback bugs that arose in CS6. To me, it appeared that too many of the changes in CS6 were semantic or cosmetic, meant to give a FCP user more familiarity. Why change the name of an edit function from "overlay" to "overwrite" after 15 years? Because it enhances the product, or because that is what Apple called the function in FCP? If Adobe renames the Program Monitor to the "Canvas" with the next release, I think that I might be sick. There were nice additions to the Creative Suite as a whole, but I hope the next Premiere release reverses some missteps made in CS6, and focuses more on stability and enhanced functionality. I also really hope that they have an open ear towards criticism; Apple did not and their users ended up with FCP-X
It saddens me that the fixes I want most in a future release were purposeful changes between CS5x and CS6x.
1) Provide the options for transport controls in the source and program monitors. All of the users at my office hate that the jog and shuttle were removed in CS6. JKL was an option prior to CS6 and if we liked it we would have used it. I keep reading the justification that this change was meant to save space and streamline the UI. I can't express cordially how much this bothers me to look at the empty wasted space in my CS6 UI where the transport controls should be. The experiment has gone on long enough.
2) Restore the 3 Way Color Corrector to its previous functionality. The 3 way color corrector has been effectively neutered in CS6. Where in CS5x and earlier releases one could separately target the input/output levels of Highlights, Midtones, and Shadows, CS6 has only a master input/output level control. Why is less control better? Is it a 3-Way Color Corrector or a 1-Way Color Corrector?
3) Restore Clip and Timeline markers to their previous functionality. I don't even.... I can't. A user shouldn't have to do work arounds to create a modicum of functionality. This again was an attribute that wasn't broken in earlier releases.
4) Simplify the the task of pasting media into a targeted track. As it is now, pasted items will always go to the lowest activated track instead of the targeted track.
Lastly I would like the Adobe Premiere teams to consider what an amazing accomplishment Premiere CS5x was. Upon CS5's release, a good portion of competitor's workflows became obsolete. CS5.5 refined, stabilized, and expanded functionality.
CS6 changed the UI around, moving or deleting buttons, changed keyboard shortcuts, and renamed functions. Oh, and added hoverscrub, you know...like FCPX. In exchanged there was loss of functionality, stability issues and broken codecs.
I really hope the next release is more like CS5x and less like FCPX

I need to create an animation sequence in photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds

I need to create an animation sequence in photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds. please help.

What problem are you having that should be easy just create the layer to make frames with. Create a frame animation in the timeline panel. Create the frames and set their display time. Save an animated gif for the web ie "Save For Web"
Prior to CS6 Photoshop only had a Animation Palette in CS Adobe replaced the palette with the Timeline Palette that can do Frame animations and Video. You can render a fame animation as a video but video does not support transparency like and animated Gif.

Actions ignoring modal control for layer renaming, Photoshop CS6

Hey, everyone! I often run actions that have modal control for certain steps turned on, in particular, when I want to give a layer a custom name. Prior to CS6, I'd run my action, the window would open allowing me to rename my layer, and then it finishes my action. However, in CS6, it seems to ignore the modal control button selected, puts in whatever the default info is and continues on. This hoses quite a few of my actions that I've been using for years. Submit a bug report?
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce it looks like you found yet an other bug in CS6 please report it at http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_familyhttp://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family

Illustrator upgrade from CS to CS6

My company is using Illustrator CS right now and doesn't want to make the jump to the Cloud yet. they would rather get an update to the CS. What is the best upgrade that isn't going to have issues and they will still be able to access their files. Also, They are currently on XP professional and will soon make the leap to Windows 7. Are these compatible?
Let me know what is the best option to the CS. I'm not having any luck finding the CS3, CS4 is really expensive and I can get CS6 at a decent price.
Thank you!

i'm still not sure what you're asking when you state, "..i wondered if cs4, cs5 or cs6 even would work". would they work to do what? - view the CS files, be compatible.
are you asking if you can upgrade from cs to cs3 or better? if so, the answer is no. adobe is no longer offering any of its creative suite products prior to cs6 for sale, upgrade or otherwise.
but why are you changing from illustrator cs? what do you need in an upgrade? I need the same product. I just need a newer version of it in order to be compatible with our systems. I want to be able to get it through a different vendor other than Adobe. I understand that the updates wont be available through a stand alone software and we are okay with that. Our current software is roughly 10 years old. I just wanted to know if we purchased CS6 through Amazon or something like that, would we need another version in between or are we going to be okay. Like back in the day, if you still had Adobe Standard 6, you couldn't "upgrade", you had to purchase a full version when you were getting updated to Adobe Standard 9. I'm sorry if I'm not being clear.

Hi Kyle Welcome to the Bosto User Group! Thanks for your positive comments about the 19MA's slim profile and drawing ability, so now let's hope we can get all your issues figured out. I am referring this post to Andrey for assistance with your first two points about modifying express keys and pen button. The latest express key drivers are "14WA-19MA_KeyRoll_32bit_041212.zip" and "14WA-19MA_KeyRoll_64bit_041212.zip" - available from www.bosto.co. Regarding the dll error and pressure sensitivity in photoshop CS6, please try these steps as mentioned by Fanly:
Ensure that any Wacom drivers are uninstalled
Ensure that all drawing applications are closed
Install the latest touch panel driver "TouchPanel_Win7_301112.zip" from www.bosto.co
I hope this helps!
Kyle Bennington
Fanly helped get the driver situation fixed now just onto the the express keys then I can ditch using my wacom without drivers and being annoyed lol. Thank you so much for the fast response time, I'm going to try to get my job to get these I hope you come out with larger HD versions and get the driver situation alleviated :). Those are really the only things I'm seeing so far that wacom has over you guys but for the price you guys are knocking it out of the park

Photoshop cs6 beta trial stopped working.

Hey guys,
Photoshop CS6 Trial stopped working for some reason. I didn't change anything on my computer (like the time as posted in other posts) or anything else. It just stopped working out of no where. It was working fine yesterday morning, and by yesterday afternoon it stopped letting me get in. The "Continue Trial" button just is not selectable anymore... When I installed it originally, I did sign in with my ID also, so I don't know what the issue is. Any suggestions?
Here's a screensho (click for larger view)t:

Thanks a lot for sharing the log files. We looked at the log file and determined that the Trial is expiry for Photoshop CS6 on the users machine and so Photoshop CS6 stops working. Correspondingly the "Continue Trial" button on Adobe Application manager (AAM) becomes disabled.
Below are more detailed response for different users:
User camcheline:
It seems from the log file that the Photoshop CS6 Trial license has been expired as on date 2012-04-18. This could be because of any prior Photoshop CS6 pre-release build installed and its Trial been consumed. Further user tried to wound back his system clock to some past time which is 2012-01-02. User later corrected the system clock to 2012-04-18 and tried again but this could not helped as Trial was actually expired. This gets confirmed from the following log statements-
2012-04-18 10:35:56 [15749] SLCoreService: Query license: type = 1, duration = 60 days, remaining = expired.
2012-01-02 10:34:22 [15739] SLCoreService: Query license: type = 1, duration = 60 day, remaining = expired (clock is wound back).
2012-04-18 10:35:56 [15749] SLCoreService: Query license: type = 1, duration = 60 days, remaining = expired.
Note: Trial license of Photoshop CS6 pre-release build and Public Beta build shares the same Trial license (with little variation).
Once the Trail has expired there is no way to get it back. User can enter Serial Number and start using Photoshop CS6 again.
User Jason.slack15:
Photoshop CS6 Trial license has started on date 2012-01-10 and expired on date 2012-04-09 which is fine and expected. This is confirmed from the following log statements-
2012-01-10 11:44:00 [3292] SLCoreService: Query license: type = 1, duration = 90 days, remaining = 90 day(s) 0 seconds.
2012-04-09 14:09:43 [3360] SLCoreService: Query license: type = 1, duration = 90 days, remaining = expired.
Once the Trail has expired there is no way to get it back. User can enter Serial Number and start using Photoshop CS6 again.
Thanks and happy to help,
Ravi Agrawal

Does Photoshop CS6 autosharpen resized images?

Hi all,
I've been using Photoshop for my Photography for quite a long time and I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6. Whenever I resize my images in CS6, I get the feel (from looking at the images) that the application has autosharpened my images! I am quite sure about that effect because my resizing principles have remained the same since using CS5. And in CS5, whenever I resized to that same size I am resizing in CS6, I used to run the Unsharp Mask Filter to get my images look at their best! So there must be something going under the hood in CS6, or am I missing something obvious? Basically, I want to be in total control as to how much sharpness I want to apply to my resized images!!
regards,
Ali

In fact Adobe added the new interpolation method Bicubic Automatic new in CS6 and Adobe change Adobe's default Photoshop's Interpolation preference setting to the new method. However Adobe did not do a good job adding the new feature. If you leave Photoshop Preference set to Bicubic Automatic you may run into problems if you use scripts that transform things. For if the script tries to retrieve, change and restore your Photoshop Interpolation method Photoshop will wind up with an internal error. There are many bugs in CS6 this is one Adobe has not address yet.
Bicubic Sharper may work well on large un-sharpened soft images. It does not work well on images that have been sharpened.
Adobe scripts like the Fit Image Plug-in always uses Bicubic interpolation. Layer Transforms prior to CS6 always used Photoshop Preference Interpolation method. That is why the script I write retrieve this setting change it to Bicubic , transform then restore the Preference. CS6 now let the user set the interpolation method for some forms of layer transforms not all.

Re-Instalation of CS6 Extended

Have had to re-instate my computer to a date prior to CS6 extended installation. I now need to re-install CS6 extended. How best to do this , use existing disc or do I need help from adobe ?

CS6 doesn't see links like previous versions did

I'm starting a new thread on this because people are cluttering the other thread with posts that are not addressing the issue.
Relinking missing images IN ALL VERSIONS PRIOR TO CS6 on a MAC:
1) Highlight missing link in links palette
2) "Search for Missing Links in This Folder" is CHECKED AS DEFAULT
3) I go to folder with the file I want to relink to.
4) InDesign highlights the file IMMEDIATELY
5) I click OPEN and it links to that file and finds other missing links within that folder
As an added bonus, if I had already found missing links with a file, InDesign would remember their locations if I opened ANOTHER file using the same links. Even though the links were missing from the original locations for BOTH files.
It was wonderful, it was fast, everybody who uses InDesign loved it, so don't pretend it wasn't there.
If you don't know about that you should move on to another forum and not waste our time.
Relinking missing images in CS6 (same operating system, same machine) :
1) Highlight missing link in links pallette
2) "Search for Missing Links in This Folder" is NOT checked as default, this makes no sense
3) I go to folder with the file I want to relink to.
4) InDesign DOES NOT HIGHLIGHT the file even though it's sitting there in the folder, so I have to search through the list of files and hopefully click on the correct one.
5) I click OPEN and it links to that file and finds other missing links within that folder.
Also, CS6 has no memory of the location of the same files which are linked to another open document, all earlier versions did.
An informed solution will be greatly appreciated.

That's sad. That they would strip useful features and add useless "features" is incomprehensible to me. They're going the route of Quark, I remember when InDesign was the "Quark Killer" and we were all like "what? no way". And then Quark went down a misguided marketing path and Adobe capitalized. Maybe Adobe hired all the Quark marketing people. We can only hope there's an "InDesign Killer" being written right now since Adobe has lost touch with people who actually use their products professionally.

Error Message -may need to download Photoshop camera raw plug in version 7.3 for full compatibility

I have been working in Lightroom 4.3 for MAC. From there I open 2 files to edit in Photoshop as layers so I can add a layer mask to the bottom layer and use the paint brush tool to make certain areas of the image darker or lighter. I have been doing this with no problem and now it doesn't seem to work. I can see the brushes' strokes on the layer mask but can not see the results on the image.
I keep getting a message from Lightroom saying I may need to download Photoshop camera raw plug in version 7.3 for full compatibility whener I try to edit on Photohsop thru Lightroom, but I have already added this plug in and it asks for it. It happens with raw, jpegs and tiffs from my 1D Mark II or my 5D Mark III and with other people's camera. It used to work fine. Now it dosen't I feel like it is something so simple. Please help. This si crucial to my business.

The wording of the message about ACR 7.3 is a bit misleading: What it means is that ACR 7.3 is required for Photoshop. Lr 4.3 has got it.
Which version of Photoshop are you using?
I suspect it's not CS6 but a prior version. If it is a version prior to CS6 you cannot install ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7.3.
You may have downloaded it but you cannot install it. It doesn't install.
On the other hand Lr 4.3 is based on ACR 7.3. So you have an incompatibility of ACR versions: 7.3 in Lr 4.3 and an earlier-version-ACR in Photoshop.
With this situation Lr an dPhotoshop are not fully compatible, i.e. you cannot open images as layers. You can only open one image at a time, either by letting Lr 4.3 render the PSD (or TIFF) and sending it to Photoshop (by selecting <Render using Lightroom>), or you let Photoshop open the Raw file with its earlier version ACR (by selecting <Open Anyway>).
In this situation you have two choices: Either upgrade to CS6, or open images in Photoshop one at a time and vonvert to layers in Photoshop.

Date on Photos

I have just returned from holidays,took 1000 pictures that all have a date on them.
Is there an less time consuming way of removing this without having to use the clone stamp tool for each one?
Thanks

Especially the Patch tool for that particular situation. If you have CS6 or CC, there is a Content Aware option for the Patch tool, but it still worked very well before that.
The date stamp is going to be in the same position on every image, so you might getaway with an action using the Patch tool. You probably wouldn’t get away with using in the Image Processor to batch fix all the image, because of the need to select an appropriate area to replace the date, but if it were me, I’d give it a go on a copy of the images, and run the action one at a time for the images that didn’t work out well in the Batch run.
Note that you should still give the Patch tool a go if your Photoshop version is prior to CS6
