MAX OS `10.5.8
PLEase excuse me. I AM NOT TYPING lower AND UPPER Case letters.... THIS ALL STarted in InDesign.
`1. It ALL STarted just A LITTLE BIT ago.... and you cAN SEE HOW IT IS adding the ' thAT I am ALSO NOT TYPING IN and ADDING THE ~! SYMBOLS above. Note I just tried to type the symbol AND GOT THE 2 THINGS INSTeAD.
ALL OF a sudden, if I tried to type into the X locATION.... Say I put in `15p2, insteAD I WOULD GET THat ' AND `125P2 OR '15P2. and the progrAM WOULD TELL ME IT Was AN ILLEGal commAND.
IF I HIT THE RETURN KEY, all of A SUDDEN, INSTEad it would type in AN * OR a + AND DID NOT RETURN.
IF I HIT THE Tab key, ALL OF a sudden it typed in the symbols for pARagrAPH RETURN and did not tAB.
IF I HIT COMMand/Q to quit, inSTEad it brought A SMall version of the dock with A CLOCK and A COUPLE OF OTHER SYMBOLS UP FOR JUST a second - PLUS IT BROUGHT a desktop folder to front insteAD.
AND as you cAN SEE, I am typing ALL LOWER Case letters BUT IT IS GOING all over the plACE WITH UPPER and lower cASE WITHOUT MY DOING anything AT all.
SO all of A SUDDEN, I Was working in InDesign CS3 AND IT SEEMS THat it ALL IS Malfunctioning. UNFORTUNately, if I go bACK and try AND GET all lower cASE LETTERS, I am hAVING NO LUCK SO PLEase excuse me.... I AM NOT TYPING IN Caps AT all....
I did let the computer upgrADE AcrobATE PRO. THIS a.m. but thA Was A WHILE ago.

Thanks for any help in this and thanks for your patience in trying to read this (notice all of a sudden, this line seems to be working and all lower case letters =?????????)

Rebooted a # of times, rebuilt pref's.... so hopefully a new keyboard will help.
Does anyone know of an old fashioned keyboard for the Mac where the keys stick up.... not the new flat slim ones. I can't hit the right keys on these new ones and miss all the time.
Does anyone know of an old fashioned Mac keyboard where the keys stick up almost 1/2"?? Dell has one but it doesn't work on Mac.
Thanks again.

  • CS3 Imports bad Characters from Word

    Not the first time I've had to ask this...
    I placed a Word Doc -  Remove Styles & Formatting, Retain Character Styles. Several characters have just completely fouled up. As near as I can tell, CS4 and CS2 do not experience the problem. I have highlighted three examples, but the story is chock full of the same problem.
    I have identical results on 2 PC's, different OS's and one Mac, 10.4.n, ID patched to 5.0.4 on all stations. Can anybody shed some light on this?
    or check how this file imports into CS3
    https://acrobat.com/#d=lA3hlJjfiPZnuSK*iWYhNg

    OK, that cleared the bad glyphs swapping out, fixed it. The Word document opened as a Compatability Mode in 2007, it's properties are 2003-2007 document, Template being Normal.dotm (I've never looked, but is .dotm unusual?)
    Is there a semi safe Workflow change I should know about; many Word files place correctly, but this is not the first time this has bit me; if these bad glyphs occur late in an article, I have missed it.

  • Canon 5d2 DNG +custom profiles = bad preview in Bridge?

    I'm using DNG Profile Editor (1.0.0.39 Beta 2) to make custom profiles for my new Canon 5D Mark II, and then using DNG Converter (5.2) plus Photoshop CS3 Bridge to process images. All on Windows XP.
    After my 5D2 custom profiles were in place I noticed that the image preview in Bridge CS3 was "bad." The Bridge preview is very blurry and does not update when changes are made to the DNG file via ACR. For example, if I change exposure in ACR and click "Done" or "Open in Photoshop, the change is saved OK in the DNG file but the Bridge preview remains the original blurry image.
    Took a long time to figure this out because I did not immediately associate the problem with the creation of custom profiles. Older 5D2 DNG files previewed OK in Bridge, as did DNG files from my other cameras. I even re-converted some old camera raw files to DNG and they previewed OK in Bridge. There are custom profiles in place for those older cameras.
    I spent a lot of time on the usual suspects - purging cache, reseting preferences. All to no avail. Then I removed all my custom profiles and deleted the index.dat file. Ran DNG converter again to make new DNG files from the 5D2 raw. Now the Bridge preview was OK. Then I restored my custom profiles and converted raw to DNG again, getting bad Bridge previews again. Yet the previous converted files would still preview OK in Bridge.
    My conclusion: The DNG converter is using camera profiles during the conversion, and in the case of 5D Mark II raw files is creating an error. I'm guessing it is putting an embedded jpeg in the DNG file that somehow confuses Bridge.
    I've repeated the tests many times now. I've changed the DNG Converter "jpeg preview" preference to none, medium and full. For the 5D2 files I get bad Bridge previews on all settings. But I get good Bridge previews on my Canon 20D and Canon 1Ds DNG files regardless of any settings. Regardless of the presence or absence of custom profiles, regardless of the jpeg preview size, regardless of the ACR default settings.
    So I'm hoping the Adobe team can take a look at this. Or anyone willing to confirm or deny my tests. I don't have an easy way to post a DNG file, but could email one of my "bad" ones to anyone willing to take a look.

    The lack of response to this post forced me to keep testing. Now I've more closely pinpointed the problem and found an easy work around. First some background.
    ACR camera profiles are stored in two places. The Adobe supplied profiles are in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    and your custom profiles are in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    Adobe Camera Raw, and it turns out the DNG Converter, both build an Index.dat file in this last folder. Apparently this index is built by scanning both camera profile directory trees and building a list of all the profiles it finds. It then sorts that list alphabetically by the profile name that is embedded in the file, not the Windows file name.
    The "Adobe Standard" profile for a camera has a file name like "Canon EOS 5D Mark II Adobe Standard.dcp", but embedded in that file is the profile name of just "Adobe Standard". That's why only "Adobe Standard" shows up in the drop down list of profiles in ACR. And that's why "Adobe Standard" appears before "Camera Faithful", which appears before "Camera Landscape". It's alphabetical order.
    Now, when you create a custom profile with the DNG Profile Editor, the "Export" function puts "Canon EOS 5D Mark II" on the front of the name. If you are an idiot, like me, you type over all that with something simple like "5D2 Bouce Flash" for the profile name. But wait, "5D2 Bounce Flash" sorts alphabetically before "Adobe Standard" and appears first in the ACR drop down menu. Sounds OK so far.
    But then the magic occurs. The DNG converter uses the camera profiles. It actually accesses that Index.dat file, and if it does not exist, the DNG converter will rebuild it, just like ACR. Why it does that I can't imagine. Seems to me that the DNG converter should be simply converting raw to DNG and passing the EXIF and embedded camera jpeg along as is. What need does it have for camera profiles?
    Anyhow, if that 5D2 profile is first in the list due to its alpahbetical name, the resulting DNG file will confuse Bridge. Bridge will display a fuzzy preview and will never update that preview, or the thumbnail, when you make adjustments in ACR.
    But if you name the 5D2 custom profile such that it sorts alphabetically after "Adobe Standard", then all is OK. The DNG files can be previewed and thumbed OK by Bridge. So I named my custom profile "My 5D2 Bounce Flash", a simple workaround.
    Now I can move on to more important things. Like generating a good custom profile for the 5D2. So far the Adobe Standard profile beats anything I've generated. Especailly if I remove that curious Point Curve which can sometimes muck up the shadows.
    And now that Bridge previews are "OK" I can work on the mystery of why Bridge Previews of 5D2 DNG files do not match the previews of their equivalent TIF or PSD files. If you're curious you can see samples and read more about that here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1032&message=30748423

  • File will open in CS3 but not CS4?

    I recieved a tif, 161.806"x138.889", cmyk at 72dpi. When I try to open the file in CS4 I get "end of file error".
    I have to go back to CS3 and open it, save as psd then it will open in CS4. Any idea why?
    thanks

    There are some files written by CS3 with bad metadata that CS4 could not read.
    Or it could be written or modified by a third party program, and CS3 is ignoring the corrupted part.
    I fixed a few cases like that in Photoshop CS5.

  • R2400 Paper Size Settings in InDesign and Illustrator - Leopard 10.5.2

    Since upgrading to Leopard 10.52 from Tiger 10.4.11, the "Paper Size" settings (in InDesign CS3) and the "Media Size" settings in Illustrator CS3 show some funky designations. That is, all the paper sizes have some cryptic appendages. For example, the 13x19 paper sizes are being displayed as follows:
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_3)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_11)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_12)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_13)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_31)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_32)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_33)
    However, when I click on the "Page Setup..." button, the paper sizes for 13x19 are displayed correctly:
    Super B (13x19 in)
    Super B (13x19 in) (Sheet Feeder - Borderless)
    Super B (13x19 in) (Roll Paper)
    Super B (13x19 in) (Roll Paper - Borderless)
    Super B (13x19 in) (Manual - Roll)
    Super B (13x19 in) (Manual - RollBorderless))
    Super B (13x19 in) (Manual -Front)
    If I first select the needed paper size within the "Page Setup..." button and then come back out to select the Paper/Media Size outside the "Page Setup..." button, in some cases, the selected driver has changed according to what *might* be the equivalent to what was selected inside the "Page Setup..." button, but in some cases the selected driver outside the "Page Setup..." button does not change.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, which is the latest version for 10.5.2. I'm not sure what's going on here, but this issue is only occurring with InDesign and Illustrator (CS3) -- not in Photoshop CS3, Lightroom CS3, Word 2004, Excel 2004, or Apple Mail. It seems like it's only an issue for InDesign and Illustrator because they have the separate the "Page Setup..." function?
    Any ideas on what's going on?

    Hi, Ian --
    No problem joining in, as I experienced color issues with InDesign CS3 in Tiger, before upgrading to Leopard. While my prints are not showing as much disparity as yours seem to be, the output of a file of mine containing only color swatches that was originally created in InDesign CS2 does not match the output of the same file printed from InDesign CS3. The InDesign CS2-created file was printing out off-colored and muddy looking when printed from InDesign CS3 -- very bad.
    As you can read from the link below, however, when I created a new InDesign CS3 file and set up the very same color percentages for the swatches, the output from that file was MUCH better, although it is slightly darker and a little too vivid. While it's a very close match, it still does not accurately represent the true values of those color swatches.
    This info may not help your situation. I hope you'll at least get some much improved results very soon.

  • When will Dreamweaver work on Macs?

    So DW CS3 runs badly on Macs when 'Display External Files' is
    ticked.
    I hear Adobe are trying to fix it. Does anyone know when it
    will be fixed? It seems pretty fundamental - and you'd think they'd
    have sorted this when testing the program before launching it.
    Thanks,

    I have not seen such a problem with CS3 on my Mac. Nor have I

  • How to fix a bad After Effects CS3 disk?

    In 2007, I got the CS3 Master Collection. It took me over 2 days to get almost all the applications to install properly. I ended up copying all the DVDs to a common folder on the desktop and running the install from there. I've used this technique a few times for hardware upgrades since then with one error every time. Everything but After Effects copied/installed - this particular disk kept throwing out an 'unable to read  blah, blah' error (hey, it was a long time ago). This was documented and traced to a bad batch of AE DVDs and folks had the option to apply for new disk.
    Being a still image person doing mainly Photoshop and InDesign, I kind'a just forgot about it - until recently when I finally started doing some video using Premiere Pro. Anyway, it looks like now the only way to get a working version of AE is to upgrade the whole Master Collection to CS4 (!). For a whole bunch of $$$ reasons I don't see that happening for a while. I emphasize that I am the legally registered user of the suite - I just need a working copy of AE CS3 to install from. Any ideas?

    Maybe I'll have my wife do it, and break down in tears halfway into describing my dumb-assed neglectfulness. That’ll cost me something

  • Bridge CS3 on opening: "This Application may perform badly"

    I recently restored my PC to factory condition to troubleshoot performance problems in CS3 Production Premium. I reinstalled all my programs, but it got a little messy when I restored my backup files from an external hard drive. Lots of files ended up in different locations and some were duplicated.
    I wanted to use Bridge to try to reorganize everything, but I get this message when opening Bridge:
    "This application requires an Intel 4 Pentium Celeron, Intel Core Duo or Intel Core 2 Compatible processor (C01/6/5895)"
    and
    "This application may perform badly. Are you sure you want to continue?"
    I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit on a 2-month old HP Pavilion d5000t desktop with an Intel Core(TM)2 Quad CPU @ 2.66GHz and 8GB RAM which should exceed the minimum requirement.
    What should I do? Performance on my PC is still not good. Premiere opens without a message, but is sluggish; Encore freezes; forget about After Effects.

    And or course the fact that the restore of the backup was "a little messy"
    may not bode well--it's possible some files were restored that should not
    have been and that parts of the OS or Apps are hosed.
    My advice would be to deactivate/uninstall the Adobe apps, restore the
    system again to factory condition, install any operating system updates, and
    then reinstall your Adobe apps. Now check them out: are they running at the
    expected speed? If so--and they probably will be--then carefully and
    selectively restore exactly the data you need to restore and to the proper
    locations. Be careful that your backup files are just data and not program
    files or parts of program files.

  • CS3 Licensing Agreement problem and Bad support

    I purchased the CS3 Web Premium and have used to create web pages for my business. This product has stopped working 4 times! "Licensing has stopped working". #1 The first call to the support was bad, after being directed to the adobe website and given minimal instructions, the person hung up. I eventually unistalled and reinstalled it. #2 same error 2 months later, same bad support, spent over an hour on the phone without resolution. Did the install again. #3 the person was helpful and we worked through the adobe site, downloaded a fix. #4 which was 2 days later and right now CS3 is down again. I have spoken to Rose, she tried to help and emailed me info, hung-up. Sean gave me the same info and when I told him that I did it already. He hung up on me. The next person kept asking someone behind her what to do next, she passed me to a supervisor and he emailed me information. I followed that and it STILL DOES NOT WORK. I called back again and spoke to another helper, she was surprised that it did not work yet, gave me the website and hung up on me. "Licensing has stopped working" My online business needs updating and this software does not work! I have asked this to be bumped up to a manager. 3 times they said I would get a call back. Nothing yet. Is there any help out there. I plan on posting this information on every blog and website until this is fixed!!!

    Welcome to Discussions Jerry - your first problem should be helped by resetting the SMU. Shut down, unplug everything from the computer, remove the power cord. Wait 15 seconds, replace the power cord, then start the computer.
    Your second problem could well be faulty RAM, since most memory is sold with a lifetime guarantee, I suggest you return it to the vendor and get a new stick. You can also run Rember, let it loop dozens of times unless it immediately reports a fault, and see what it says.

    Have you tried updating or reinstalling your HP printer? If it's a network printer, try setting up a local printer as the default printer and see if that error goes away.

    [Sounded like the problem in this post: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2 but on re-reading I've decided it's different so I'm giving it it's own thread, with more detail...]
    Here's my experience:
    1) Description and title show up for a second on the first slide, then revert to just the blank template on that and all subsequent slides (title: [blank] description: [blank]....
    Hitting "refresh" produces the descriptive metadata for a tantalizing moment, then it' s back to the blank template for this and all subsequent slides. It does this both for Safari and Firefox.
    You can view this behavior in a slideshow at http://oasisdesign.net/projects/earthtoilet/
    If it asks for a password, use---
    user:earthling
    pass: draf1 )
    "preserve all metadata" is checked.
    I've tried all combinations of checking/ unchecking "title, description, filename" for labeling...also, making slideshows with just one or two slides to reduce the chance that it's a weird character issue of the type some other folks have experienced...
    2) additionally, the web gallery is not respecting the manual sort order in Bridge, which is the source of the files. The help files say the slideshow should follow the manual sort order in Bridge.
    3) Finally, metadata entered in bridge metadata tab sometimes vanishes, sometimes metadata entered in file info wouldn't show in the metadata tab.
    Thanks for your help!!

    BTW, here's the related issues I found:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2
    ...After some investigation, I found that the descriptions were disappearing only for photos that had a Return / Line Break in the description. If you go back and make sure all of your descriptions are a single line, it works fine....
    =Don't have line breaks, nor "and" nor &...

    OK...here's the hack I used to get around what I'm now totally convinced are program bugs and shortcomings relative to advertised functionality, for anyone else who has to deal with this, followed by my (suggested fixes to Adobe)...
    1) Sort everything the way you want in bridge.
    2) Make meta descriptions w/o weird characters (a warning here would be helpful)
    3) Use "batch rename," with "copy to another folder" to give the images totally plain vanilla, DOS-style file names (001.jpg, 002.jpg...). This solves most filename issues and the works around web gallery's failure to recognize bridge sort order in one go. Note that you can irrevocably screw up the names of all your original files if you're not very careful to COPY at this step.
    ([a] make the bridge sort work directly, as advertised, por favor. [b] add an error message or warning about file names such as 006-(2).jpg causing malfunction. A compassionate, low-effort short-term patch for Mac users of web gallery, especially since bridge generates that particular sort name itself invisibly and automatically if you move a file with the same name into a folder)
    4) Use "white on black" instead of bug-ridden "horizontal slideshow" (horizontal slideshow should be fixed or deleted from the next version...multiple slideshow options would be awesome, as they advance automatically at the max rate the user's bandwidth allows, a very attractive feature)
    5) Restrict all images to the same height so users can click *in the same spot* to advance the 200 images with less carpal tunnel (the advance arrow should *always* be in the same spot, for every web gallery, IMHO)
    Web galleries are a fantastic tool for sharing information easily...I hope to see some evolution in those great automatic updates someday...

  • Colours change badly when LR2.5 image sent to Photoshop CS3

    When I right click in LR on an image and "edit in CS3" the image opens in CS3 with a horrible magenta and/or blue colour cast that is difficult to remove.
    I have set LR to export in AdobeRGB, and CS3 edits in AdobeRGB.
    This is new behaviour, since I got a Canon 50D but I assume this is coincidence.
    The effect is variable, worse on some images than others, so I can use no automatic workaround to fix the shift.
    It is ruining my workflow.  I've searched on everything I can think of in forums and help.
    - Win XP SP3
    - both screens calibrated with GretaMacbeth Eye-one
    I observe that:
    a) even the dialog boxes in the two programs have completely different colours, not sure if that is supposed to be so.
    b) CS3 says that my CS apps are not sync'd for consistent color.  I don't know what other apps I may have, or why this is so.
    Attached -
    - my external edit prefs and CS3 colour settings
    - sample image screen capture in LR
    - same image screen captured in CS3
    Thanks

    This seems to have died. I've answered a few questions but no responses to those reqested infos, and no answer forthcoming.Some responses suggest that my post has not even been read properly and the only suggestions made have been inappropriate to my posted info.
    Can anyone tell me how I get effective help for Adobe products?  I am more than jaded with the facts that:
    - Adobe software in general and Lightroom especially has almost useless help files/website.  Adobe seems to rely on a) 3rd parties and b) a collection of informal only sometimes professional often independent (uncoordinated) resources that are as disparate as they are confused to provide help and usage training.  The help available from "Help" menu item is incomplete and often, if not mostly, missing the point for which you are seeking info.
    - Adobe software including Acrobat reader (inside Firefox), CS3 and Lightroom are the ONLY softwares that crash my system or do not work reliably.
    - Adobe phone and email support is entirely, completely and fully useless for anything beyond certain standard problems.  The only offered solution to anything I've ever rung or emailed about has been "uninstall and re-install" after demanding enormous amounts of information that was probably irrelevant or ignored but consumed considerable effort and time to provide.
    -  when you DO uninstall and reinstall Photoshop, you find it is the only software I know of that routinely loses all your settings and actions in the process.
    - and so far, uninstall and reinstall has never resolved any Adobe problem on my machine.
    - Adobe more than any other provider seem to rely on new PAID upgrades as the suggested means of resolving bugs and other problems that are intrinsic to the software, and Adobe don't continue to maintain older versions.
    So - here I am with what is to me a serious problem, and I have no visible means of useful tech support.
    People like me are always being criticised on these forums for being cross and frustrated, with smooth talking smug folk saying that you'd get better results if you were polite.  The trouble is it is difficult to remain polite when you see no available solution, a lot of time taken up and no APPARENT determination by Adobe to provide support that actually meets people's needs, or at least people with non-standard problems.
    I don't believe I've been rude here, but it's now 4 days and I'm no nearer to solving the problem.
    Could someone suggest how to get effective help with this problem, or other problems from Adobe?
    Thanks

  • Premiere Pro CS3: bad video quality when exporting for YouTube

    Hi!
    I'm a newbie to this forum and yes, I've looked for an answer before posting. I'm also pretty new to Premiere Pro and I hope that the problem I'm having is more my fault than Premiere's (it most likely is.)
    I have project, a little YouTube-Video. But whenever I export it, the quality is really poor. I've also tried rendering it with Windows Movie maker and, strangely enough, the quality is much better and closer to the original file. My big question is: what am I doing wrong?
    Here are some additional info:
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
    Windows 7 Professional, 32 Bit (PC)
    The movie file was shot with a Sony DSC-W170 and is an .mpg file
    Video:
    640x480
    10418kBit/s (total: 10483 kBit/s)
    30fps
    Audio:
    64kBit/s
    Mono
    32kHZ
    Project settings: DV-Pal
    Standard-PAL-Video (4:3 Interlaced).
    48 kHz (16 Bit) Audio
    I used the Adobe Media Encoder for the export, H.264/YouTube. I've also tried several other settings, but I never get as good a result as with the Windows Movie maker. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this? (Maybe the quality of the video already suffers when I import the files into Premiere Pro? The video in the source and the cutting window is very blurry.)
    Here you can see for yourself what it looks like:
    File rendered with Adobe Premiere CS3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTAyx6O27Dg
    File rendered with Windows Movie Maker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVeoUOfM_uo&feature=youtu.be
    I hope somebody can help me. If you need additional info which I haven't provided, ask away. Thank you so much in advance for your replies!

    YT is set to privet.
    Keep project settings and export settings same as camera.
    Try H.264 (mp4) for export instead.

  • AE CS3 inconsistent colors - HDTV (Rec. 709) color preset is bad?

    I have 2 sets of known-good SMPTE colors bars generated from Avid - SD and HD. In AE, with Simulate Output turned on, the displayed black level of the HD bars is twice as high as the SD. They should be identical.
    I created 2 projects for each clip:
    In SD:
    Working space: NTSC SDTV
    Clip Interpret footage: SDTV NTSC 16-235
    Use Display color management
    Simulate Output -> SDTV NTSC
    HD:
    Working space: HDTV (Rec. 709)
    Clip Interpret footage: HDTV (Rec. 709) 16-235
    Use Display color management
    Simulate Output -> HDTV (Rec. 709)
    The rightmost PLUGE bars of both source files are the same value, and as per SMPTE standard should be just barely visible on a properly calibrated monitor.
    However, with Display Color Management on, the SD pluge reads 10 (on an 8-bit scale), while the HD reads 19 (almost twice as bright). This is manifested visually, the SD pluge is barely visible as it should be, and the HD pluge is considerably brighter. It's easily noticed via screen grabs too:
    My display is calibrated, and that's irrelevant anyway - the pixel value that AE shows should be the same for both comps.
    Has anyone else noticed such an issue? Is this a known bug in AE CS3? Or am I missing something?
    AE 8.0.2.27 on OSX 10.5.8

    I installed AE CS 5.5, went through the same process - same exact thing.
    Maybe you or others could repeat this little test on your system. I can supply you with a couple of 80KB TIFFs.
    By the way the project working space makes no difference between SD and HD, it's the HDTV Simulate Output preset that seems off.
