CS3 to CS5 and Aspect problems

A few problems are troubling me now that I have moved a big project from CS3 to CS5.
I have the aspect ratio for everything set to 16x9 in the interpret footage area. However, once I opened the project in CS5, a few items reverted back to 4x3.
Also, I am using a lot of clips with alpha channels on top of still images. These still images come up black and white once their aspect is set.
Any idea on what could be the touble maker here? The images and video are all SD quicktime format. The still images are .pct.

Open a new project in Premiere Pro CS5 and then import the CS3 project into it - that may correct the problems.
If not, you can select the clips that are reverting to 4x3 and modify their properties and switch them to 16x9.
Hope this helps,
Dennis

Upgrading from CS3 to CS5 and changing PC

I have CS3 Web premium running on Windows XP machine. I want to migrate to CS5 but also to migrate the desktop to Windows 7. Will I have to first re-install CS3 on the re-built machine and then upgrade to CS5 or is it just a case of deactivating CS3, installing CS5 and activating the new copy?

No, you don't have to install CS3 to use the CS5 upgrade. Have the disks and serial numbers handy.
If you're removing CS3 from another PC then deactivate it first.
Finally, if there's any chance you'll need CS3, then install it on the new Win 7 machine. It will run just fine.
I have CS3, CS4 and several CS5 apps all running quite nicely on Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

Dreamweaver CS5 and xampp problem

Hi folks,
i had cs5 trial installed on my last laptop
running vista 32bit
with xampp, i could edit wordpress files
no problem,
but i just got a new laptop
now running windows 7 64bit,
i installed cs5 trial fine and xampp.
I just went to edit wordpress files for the first time
and when i go to index.php as soon as i go to
'discover' i get dreamweaver 'not responding'
and it doesn't respond.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
Daniel

Thanks for the reply,
there was an update for dreamweaver yesterday which fixed my problem,
i don't know why because the update was for browserlab and dreamweaver compatibility or something like that,
but it fixed my problem and now the files load instead of the program (not responding)
so now i'm happy lol.

Unfortunately I can't help you. But if it's any consolation, you are not alone. I am suffering from same symptom except it happens with any dynamic site I need to work on. And it doesn't matter whether the sites are local or remote.
I am running Windows 7 64bit as well in both of my machines, desktop (AMD) and laptop (Intel), and this happens on both of them and with any dynamic site, Joomla! for instance.

CS5 and aspect ratio problem

I am running Master Collection CS5. I have AVCHD clips from from two cameras. One camera is .mod and the other is 720p H.264 (MOV). The .mov show up 16x9 but the .mod show up as 720x480 (4.3). Window Media Player plays them in the correct wide screen format but the properties in Premiere are 720x480. I guess the answer is that adobe doesnt support .mod files but maybe I am missing something.

What you're missing for sure is the fact that this forum is for suite related questions. My assumption is that you need help with Premiere Pro. Please post in that forum.

Programatically determine installation location for InDesign CS3, CS4, CS5, AND CS5.5 (Windows)

We build plug-ins for all versions of InDesign from CS3 and later, for Windows and Mac.
To deploy our plug-in(s) on Windows, we use InstallShield, which has a somewhat complicated mechanism to locate InDesign.exe and determine its version so we know which plug-in(s) to install, but basically, the location is determined (via the RegLocator table in InstallShield) based on this registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\InDesign.exe
This has been working fine for all versions of InDesign since CS2. However, that location is apparently no longer set by the InDesign CS5.5 installer. So, we need to find some other way of programatically locating InDesign CS5.5 with our installer.
I've searched the registry of a machine with InDesign CS5.5 installed, and there are other registry entries related to InDesign, but those entries are not set by earlier versions of the InDesign installer. Ideally, there would be a registry setting, or some other reliable marker we can use to locate the InDesign installation, which is consistent across all versions of InDesign (at least back to CS3).
Using the registry setting is something we came up with on our own via trial-and-error, since, as far as I know, there is no documented way to locate the InDesign installation folder. (Our Mac installer uses a simpler mechanism to locate InDesign by the application name and version number.)
I find the apparent lack of documentation on this a bit ironic, since just about every other aspect of the SDK and the methods for creating InDesign plug-ins is extremely well documented, expect for the last final bit one needs to know to get to the promised land of actually deploying a carefully crafted plug-in to customers' machines. (This seems to be true of the Acrobat SDK as well.) However, I could have just missed the relevant documentation, in which case, please point me to it.
So, is there a recommended way to programatically locate the InDesign installation location on Windows? How are other people doing this in their installers?

Hi Dan,
this is the InDesign plugins SDK forum, you need the installer forum....
Just kidding. I use a really hacky piece of VB to install my plugins while I'm developing...
here's the bit which works out the folder depending on which version I'm compiling for.
That gives you the gist anyway, and I imagine that most installers are going to do more or less the same thing, except they'll have short cuts ways of getting it.
There's probably a better way, but this works for me...

Indesign CS3 - copy paste and export problem

When I try to copy text in Indesign CS3 and paste it in Word 2007 - or even in notepad - nothing happens. Pasting works fine when I stay in Indesign, but not when I try to paste it in another application.
So I tried to export text to RTF (selecting text, export to rtf, give a name als save), but no file was created.
Pasting text from another app. into Indesign just works fine.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
Thanks for any advise.
(Windows Vista, Dell 9200, 4 MB memory)
L.L.

I solve this problem in windows XP using the Phaedra's first optimistic tip and worked fine to me.
When I tested the IDcs3 in another profile it was clear that the problem is not in the program, but in permissions or another detail in the user config.
To simplifly my life, I create a new user account "MIGUEL2" in Windows as admin powers. With this new account I "reboot" my oldest ("MIGUEL") account to user mode. Restarted windows and, with "MIGUEL2" I reset the privileges to "MIGUEL" to admin user.
Now I can export txt and rtf files from IDcs3. ;)
You can skip the last step and work only with the new account or just work as user, not admin...
Really weird. Why this happened? I don't know... but I'm happy that was too simple to solve...
Best wishes

Photoshop CS5 and 3D problem

Hi!
I installed photoshop CS5 Extended and unfortunatelly the 3D menu options are all grayed out.
My graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 3600
I enabled the OpenGL drawing. In the Preferences menu the 3D panel was active after i turned on the OpenGL drawing, but everytime I want to use some 3D feature the program tells that - for example: "The command create 3D from 2D is not currently available." OR "The command create repoussé from layer mask is not currently available."
I don't know what could be the problem or maybe I need better graphic card?

Hi, for some strange reason all of the 3D menus in my CS5 extended are not displayed on my workstation but up and active on my laptop and I just cannot find the reason why. I have a Radeon 4870HD 1GB DDR5 and have downloaded the latest drivers including open gl3.2 but it makes no difference, have you any idea would could be wrong.
I have looked in Menus and all of the data is there but it just wont display on the menu bar, its driving me nuts!
Many thanks David

How to always show rulers in Photoshop CS5 and other problems

Does anyone know how to make Photoshop CS5 always show rulers in mac? I have not have this issue with any other PS. I need the rulers to drag guides contantly, but photoshop cs5 would not show the rulers automatically. Everytime I have to go to View --> Show rulers or the shortcut command + R. Is there a way to instruct Photoshop to always show rules with any file I open or create?
I have many other issues with Photoshop CS5 that CS2, 3, and 4 had out of the box... It is very frustrating that I spent all this money and instead of working, I have been on the phone with Adobe for hours... I am very disappointed so far.
I have had CS5 Master's Collection for 2 months now on Mac 10.6.7. I have reinstalled Photoshop 3 times as some shortcuts were not working like shift plus scroll to inscrease to 100%, 200%, etc.
The other thing that still does not work and Adobe has not offered a solution is that my Photoshop would not append extensions. Regardless of the Preferences settings, all my files get saved as JPG instead of jpg... I wonder if any of you out there have this issue as well?
Thank you.

I believe my computer and its account are healthy. I just bought the mac pro with solid state and the only programs I have installed are the Master Collection CS5.
I have good news though - After two months of waiting, I was finally able to speak with Adobe specialists yesterday and they changed the shortcut for Save As that Photoshop ships with from Command + Alt + S to Command + Shift + S - and miraculously now Photoshop appends extensions!!!
However, my question about always displaying rulers remains. We got disconnected and I didn't have a chance to ask them (I was on hold for an hour and a half!)

PS CS3/CS4/CS5 and Snaplab UP-CR10L color calibration question

Sorry for the bad screen name, but after getting 20-30 (name in use) messages, I decided to go for RANDOM characters, and IT WORKED!!
Anyway, here is my inquiry.....
I have all three PS versions mentioned above, on an Intel Mac, and recently picked up a Snaplab event photo printer, UP-CR10L. It does 4x6 and 5x7 dye sub prints. It is geared toward kiosk type printing, but can be printed to from the computer. I may well use it printing from a computer, and by simpll"plugging in" the CF card directly, depending on circumstances. My primary issue at the present is when printing from PS however.
What is the best procedure for making sure the printer produces "what it should" when printing from PS? Can it be calibrated with the X-Rite Studio calibration hardware/software, or is everything "internal" so that it will print "what it thinks is right" irregardless of what user "wants" it to?
I ask because Sony ( the manufacturer) has been of very little help in this inquiry (I have gone through multiple support desks, and have gone full circle (A->B->C->A) several times. Although there is mention of a color profile for the later model of this printer (UP-CR20L), I can find nothing on THIS specific model with regards to the best ways of doing color management.
Oh, and as additional "side issue" with CS5, you also see this in the printer setup, but ONLY in CS5
"The bundle UP-CR10 PrintColorSetup PDE Could not load because it doesn't contain a version for the current architecture"
There are apparently NO new drivers for this printer beyond what I am using, and it is running the latest firmware (3.5).
Any and all thoughts, suggestions, or rants will be greatly appreciated.

A CF card is for Compact Flash used in pro digital cameras like the Nikon D3.
With this "specific" printer I am unsure of the available calibration options. There does not appear to be a way (in Mac anyway) to disable the printer handling color corrections (which PS specifically tells you to DISABLE) when you have "Photoshop Manages Colors" selected. I guess that has me "second guessing".
Maybe I had too many years in the QA department....I was always looking for "what something could be interpreted as " vs "what the author actually intended".
Oh.... and the 32 vs 64 bit suggestion did make that odd error go away...of course it caused ANOTHER Sony software addon for this printer to "fail to load".....even though it DID LOAD before ....

CS5 Color Calibration and Printing Problems vs. CS3

We are migrating from CS3 to CS5, and i'm working on getting the printing right.
We are on MacPro towers, 10.6.6, with LaCie LCD Monitors and an Epson 2200. Calibration on monitors and printer done by EyeOne Pro and Profilemaker Pro.
Printing: In CS3, creating the profile was done by printing the appropriate Eye One testchart. It gets opened with 'no color management', and is printed out with 'no color management'. This way, the testfile is being printed as the printer prints, with no tweaks. The color adjustment controls (brightness, saturation, cyan, magenta, etc) within the Epson driver are set to Zero. Then, this print is scanned in, using the Eye One, and you get the profile of the printer.
Now, when printing actual files, 'Photoshop Manages Colors' is utilized, and the created Profile from Eye One is selected.
We have had great luck with this, matching screen to print. If a slight tweak is needed, then we could use the Epson color adjustment controls to modify slightly.
Again, we've had great prints consistently for years using this method.
Now comes CS5...
Printing. Trying to use our existing profile...
When 'Photoshop Manages Colors' and the Profile are selected, now the Epson color adjustment controls are greyed out. So, we lose out on the 'tweaking' possibilities. I'm a fan of profiles, but now i have absolutely no control after the fact.
Trying to create a new profile....
'No Color Management' is not longer available as an option in 'Color Handling'. So, now i can't even print out the baseline testchart without adding some sort of profile to it? If i would choose 'Printer Manages Color' for this testpage, I would normally set the Epson Color Adjustments to Zero to get this baseline print for profiling. But now, If I would do that, it's only going to be greyed out when i go back in and let Photoshop manage the colors. Sheesh...
To make matters worse...
I pull up the same testchart in CS3 AND CS5. We are on a calibrated monitor, using North American Prepress presets on both programs. Same monitor, same color settings, same file. AND the testchart looks different in each program. Similar, but definite differences in shades. Eyedropper readings are the same for both programs.
So, CS5 is even rendering color differently on screen, and i have little or no way to create my custom profile or control my printer? Sheesh....
Any help or direction is appreciated.
Rich

thanks for the input.
I will look at the links you recommended. When 'Compensate for Scene-Referred Profiles' is unchecked in CS5, the monitors match. I'll need to do some research to see that that 'compensation' is, and what's happening.
As for the 'not considered a good color managed workflow'...
That's fine. But I would consider a good managed workflow using a calibrated monitor, and using a profile that matches the printer and substrate being used, right? When i plug in the canned printer profile in CS5, i get unsatisfactory results. With that 'correct' workflow, there is no way to modify what is ending up on the printed page. You get what you get.
Even if i back up to CS3, create a custom profile with the Eye One, run Colorsync/Profile all the way through, and eliminate the Epson Color Adjustments, I'm still obeying a 'correct' workflow, but what if my prints are slightly too Cyan? Or slightly too open/light? (granted, Profilemaker Pro does have a profile 'editor', but it's convoluted and extremely difficult to use. I've never gotten good results with it.)
If you have no way to do small adjustments at the back end on the printer, and it's been 'profiled' correctly, and the prints don't match calibrated screen with proper color spaces....
uh....then what do you do? which one is right? The screen or the printer?
I've had hundreds of images over the years go from screen to client (or press if we were controlling the print phase of the job), which then got printed, and have had basically 'zero' client issues with color. We have great color here on screen, from capture into post production.
But when my client wants a proof, in house, they want to see what they've been seeing all day in the studio and in post. How am I supposed to adjust my prints if a 'proper color managed workflow' isn't giving me matching proofs?
I sincerely appreciate the input here. I'm just frustrated, because even if my 'workflow' isn't technically correct, it's not without merits and I've had excellent consistent results that just 'worked'. Now, i've got to find a new method within CS5.

CS3 to CS5 lost keywords, labels and ratings

I have just moved from bridge CS3 to CS5 and find that the keywords, star ratings and colour labels on my images have all disappeared.
Can anyone tell me how to get them back please? There was a lot of work put into them over time.

In edit/preferences/thumbnails make sure you have a check mark in the drop down box under additonal lines of metadata for keywords.

Upgrading from CS3 to CS5 issues

I work at a medium size College on a pretty small team, 1 editor/writer, 1 communications coordinator, and 1 designer (me). I've been using InDesign (ID) for 5 years now and we added on the InCopy (IC) workflow a few years ago with CS3 (both of us then had CS3). The editor and I just recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and we've hit a snag. I opened a project, the Academic Catalog in fact, in CS5 that we began in CS3 which we were almost finished with and when I tried to check out a story I got this error.
"This story needs to be converted to "InCopy Document" format in order to edit it."
The editor got the same message in IC. So I thought maybe files created by CS3 for IC don't work with CS5 so I decided to try to unlink the INCX files in ID and relink. Sure enough it created a new ICML file which the editor was able to open, edit, and save in IC. And I thought I had my problem solved until I opened the file in ID; when I tried to update the linked file ID crashed. I've tried unsuccessfully to get the updated stories from IC to update in ID w/o crashing. I've restarted the computer; it is Windows afterall. I've run 'Updates' in both our programs, and it says there are none. I've tried tossing the ID and ICML file; fortuanalty I was smart enough to do all this with a copy of the orginal CS3 file. I followed all my above steps a second time and it's still crashing. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a known issue like this?
btw, we're both running Windows Vista and both in CS5 (7.0).

AM
I might just have to go back to CS3 to finish this project up—fortunatly I foresaw an issue like this and kept CS3 installed. That will most likely solve the problem with this project, provided it too does not crash. And that is my concern for future 'new' projects in CS5, are those going to crash too? I think I'll do some testing with my editor.
Bob,
What type of additional info would help?
Thanks,
Colleen

CS3 to CS5 Issues

Hi from a first time poster!.
Basically my organisation has upgraded fro CS3 to CS5 and we are having a few performance issues.
Can i configure the preferences so that when i pan around a document with lage images or artwork placed in it the screen does not go all jerky?.
Is this something to do with CS5's live draw function?.
Also is it possible to copy and paste images from a CS3 document to a CS5 document?, currently when we try the images are not being recognized in the CS5 document.
Help greatly appreciated

For the jerkiness go to your preferences and change the live draw to delayed, or if that doesn't help, maybe never. The place to go is Edit > Preferences > General.
When you try to past from CS3 to CS5 do you have both open in CS5? Might sound a dumb question but if you have one open in CS3 and one in CS5 it isn't going to work, so even if you have a document you want to keep in CS3 for the purposes of copying just open it in CS5, it wil convert to a CS5 document and you will be able to copy and paste between them.
One last tip, when converting docs to CS5 from CS3, particularly larger ones, there have been quite a few reports of instability, sometimes leading to corruption, but mind you we only see the problems on this forum. To prevent this happening the best route is to export from CS3 to inx format and open that in CS5. YOu can do that automatically with whole folders (and sub-folders) of files with the batch convertor script that is my latest favourite, it is made by Peter Kahrel and is free, you'll find it here. With that you can use it in CS3 to convert a whole batch to inx, then use it in CS5 to convert those inx files to CS5 indd. Super handy, really fast, and great for mass exports too.

Photoshop CS5 and Epson 9900, Win 7, 64bits

Hi,
I recently upgraded from photoshop cs3 to cs5 and now all of my prints on epson 9900 large format printer come out too dark. The same pictures printed with cs3 look good but not on cs5. How can I fix it? Is there a patch for this issue on Adobe website? Just to clarify: same image printed on CS3 looks good but printed with CS5 looks too dark. It can't be the printer driver issue since there is one driver for both version of Photoshop (6.62, most recent).
I have Photoshop CS5 and Epson 9900, Windows 7, 64bits.
I have "Photoshop manages colors" selected and "no color management" for printer - I know the proper set up, I've been doing this for quite some time, so it's definitely not the settings issue or media profile issue. Well, the same settings are use with CS3 and CS5 but results are different, that's why I think it's photoshop's fault. If I can't print color managed prints than CS5 is useless to me.
Any ideas? I have seen post reg. this but no solution and they go back few years back. Has Adobe finally addressed the issue?
Please, help.
Peter,

Hi Chris,
I have the latest patch 12.0.4 but it does not solve the problem. What kind of "user error" are you talking about? As I stated before: I use the same settings in both version of PS: photshop manages color, printer profile: my canvas media profile, BPC: on. In print settings: mode: custom (off, no color adjustment), media type: my canvas type. There is no room for "user error" here.
As for driver bugs: are you referring to Epson driver? I have the latest driver v6.62. What else can I do? Did i skip something?
Well, of course I'm using Windows (64bits), so I guess there is lots of room for error there, right , but I don't think it's OS since it prints fine in CS3 but not in CS5.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

InDesign CS5 and 5.5 does not start

I have to support a lot of different users with CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5. Now I set up all this product on a brand new Mac, OSX 10.9.2 Retina, but they do not start properly (nothing happens). What is the problem?

Well, I copied my previous Mac (Mavericks), where I have them all running parallell. None started. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled 5.5. Did not start! When I double click the icon nothing happens! No message, no log.
