CS4 File Name popping up while editing images.

In CS4, a long file name in a light yellow box pops up as I am editing an image, using the clone tool, etc. The name will have the computer / disk / folder / dataset name / etc. Great info, but totally useless to me. It is just in the way.
This info. is very distracting to me as I work. Can someone help me with how to turn off the spigot so that this file name box stops popping up as I am trying to edit images?
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks Dave but that is a very restricting way of doing this. Anyway I have worked it out.
Get script "AddFilename20pt.jsx" from http://www.jkost.com/photoshop.html
Place script in scripts folder in SC5
restart PS
Use script within an action to size and place the file name where you want over the image. Bevel emboss, drop shadow do what you want with it.
It is found under > File > Scripts > AddFilename20t
Done.

  • REALLY long files names shortened by Bridge's Image Processor

    I have images from a PHPBB forum website that during creation of a post to the forum have been auto renamed by scripts and then inserted into the database. The images are huge in file size and have used up the webserver disk space meaning no more images can be uploaded!
    I decided to download all images and process them down to 800 pixel wide images using Bridge's image processor to reduce the file size. This worked OK for image size reduction, but it did change the name of the file to a shorter name which has broken the link to the images.
    The files names are huge! Here's an example:
    45_1c039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c039812422e7d6b9 d29589ffb7a44a545_1c039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c 039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c039812422e7d6b9d29589ffb7a44a545_1c0
    ...and yes, it doesn't have a file extension!
    How can I overcome this problem of shortening file names?
    Thanks

    "Use another image processor?"  Why? I've noticed this same thing lately as I use Bridge/CR do basic image adjustments on files renamed to even shorter character strings. Bridge just ignores everything after x number of characters. This is a solid bug in my book as it screws up any kind of workflow between Bridge and Photoshop and, well just about anything...

  • Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame st

    Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame still there. Is there a "apply change" or similiar command that I simply cannot see.

    brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame
    PSE did what you told it to do. Choose the Straighten and crop edges or fill edges options when you use the straighten tool if you want it to do more than just straighten the contents of the image. Many people prefer the plain straighten because they'd rather crop themselves than let PSE do it.

  • InDesign CS4: File names change to string of numbers

    Occasionally, one of our users will save an InDesign CS4 file, only to have the file name change.  For example, a file originally named "#kwn25501.bcbsNM.indd" was saved as "#kwn25501.bc157-1223857848."
    If the user is not aware that this has happened, things can go horribly, terribly wrong in our production environment. The "numbered" file may be missing key elements, or be somehow be corrupt in some fashion. In one case, this led us to having to reprint a job because the "numbered" file was missing a photo; somehow, that file was used (and perhaps renamed after the fact) to create the final output.
    We use Macs running InDesign CS4 6.0.5. Some of our Macs are running Tiger 10.4.11, while others are running Leopard 10.5.8. The problem seems to related to the Leopard machines, although that is not 100 percent certain at this point. All of these Macs are bound to Active Directory and save files to a Windows 2003 server. I know Adobe recommends against working on files over a network, but perhaps there is an explanation for this file renaming aside from network issues.
    Any light that can be shed on this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Check to see if maybe your original filename is the problem.
    You may need that particular name for a workflow reason, but some of the symbols in the middle of your filename are generally not a good idea. Especially working off of a server, file names should be ONLY alpha-numeric characters, no symbols, no periods (except for the file type) and only underscores or dashes to separate words, no spaces.
    The reason is some of those symbols get picked up as machine language and all sorts of bad can happen as a result.

  • File name to print with your image (PS3)

    Hi,
    I'm working on about 20ish photoshop images that have a specific name to match up to a diagram, so when I print them I need the file name lable to appear on the print with it. Additionally when I send them off to clients, I need to have that file name lable visable on the pg of the pdf while looking at the image so they know which one is which. The collected multi pg pdf needs to be under 3megs (5 mgs max) so it is easily emailable.
    I'm trying to find an automated or an easier way to do this than what I am doing one by one now. I tried to set up a PS action which I would batch to all open files but, becuase of the two step print dialogue it gives me an error saying all the settings weren't recorded, thus it doesn't work.
    What I'm doing now:
    1. Cmd+P to print, in the print dialogue under the "output" drop down I have "Labels" checked
    2. Hit print, then my printer driver dialogue box pops up, then in the lower left corner I click the button "PDF" and "Save as a PDF"  (This produces an acceptable quality pdf at a sm size)
    3. I'm able to save it by the file name with .pdf extension and specify the folder to save it into.
    4. Repeat 20ish times for each file
    5. In Acrobat create a pdf out of multiple files
    6. Then make a print of all of them together for myself
    7. Email to client
    Can anyone help me figure out a way to stream line this procedure, there must be a way, this is way to time consuming?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Web Gallery - need file name on thumbnail and large image

    I think I have tried all the CS3 templates, but haven't found what our client is requesting. Is there a template that shows the file name on both the thumbnail and large image, and will make large images of 600-800 pixels (long dimension)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan Clark

    Thanks for your reply Nini. Yes, I had gone through all the presets and options. Was hoping I might have missed something, or that someone knew a trick/workaround. We've been using Table-Minimal for years, which is my overall favorite. I like to ability to make a large image, but it can't do what the client is requesting. They've made a list of selects from some very large galleries (200-300 shots each), and now want to jump directly to the shots they've previously chosen, in order to show their coworkers. I've also considered "Add Numeric Links", but I find that either confuses people, or they give me that number, instead of the file name/number, which makes a lot of extra work for us.

  • Automatically create file name based on information in image

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to scan 100 documents into a single tiff file. I need a software that can split the images (inside the big tiff file) into individual tiff files afterward. I need to extract a number appearing in each of these tiff image to become the filename of each individual tiff file after splitted. Finally, I have a process to upload and attach these files to the corresponding table rows in Oracle.
    Does anyone know any software that can accomplish this?
    Thanks.
    Andy

    Use the file dialog box function to get the file name/path.
    To save the file , use appropriate write function ( as per file type that is being saved..text file,datalog , binary ..)

  • How do I call image file names from MySQL & display the image?

    Hello everyone,
    I have image file names (not the full URL) stored in a MySQL database. The MySQL database is part of MAMP 1.7 and I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac Book Pro.
    I would like to create a catalog page using thumbnails, and PayPal buttons displayed within a table, in rows. With the image centered and the PayPal button directly underneath the image.
    How do I use PHP to call the thumbnail images as an image not the file name, to be displayed in the table?
    Thanks in advance.

    Open the Insert Image dialog box in the normal way, and navigate to the folder that contains the images. Then copy to your clipboard the value in the URL field, and click the Data Sources button. The following screenshot was taken in the Windows version, but the only difference is that Data Sources is a radio button at the top of the dialog box in Windows. It's a button at the bottom in the Mac:
    After selecting Data Sources, select the image field from the approriate recordset. Then put your cursor in the URL field and paste in the path that you copied to your clipboard earlier.

  • "A duplicate file name was specified" While trying to sync?

    I've literally been trying to make iTunes work with my new iPhone 5c for the past 3 hours, and I'm fed up. Everytime I start up iTunes, it says "A Duplicate file name was specified".  I'm unable to do anything because everytime I try to sync, it gives me that error message. I also can't restore my iPhone because I purchased apps and it says if I restore my iPhone, the apps haven't been added to my library.  It also won't let me authorize my account as it just gives me an error. Please help.

    Try looking for and/or deleting incomplete downloads from the the iTunes Media folder. Then try downloading again, so its not resuming or overwriting a previous download.
    Apple does have this article that talks about a very similar syncing error -> iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins.

  • File name getting changed while exporting file

    I am exporting file of name something like
    mithun.ruikar.111212.csv
    I am using
    response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=mithun.ruikar.111212.csv");
    to export my file.
    Now what is happening is on JSP i get download popup and even i can save the file
    and it shows proper contents inside.
    Only problem is (default) name of file is
    now changed to
    mithun[1].ruikar.111212.csv.
    If i am trying
    ruikar.111212.csv only
    then i get ruikar[1].111212.csv
    and for 111212.csv i get 111212.csv, which is right.
    So only when i use more than one . in file name the first . is preceded by [1].
    How to solve this?

    I dont have anything duplicate.
    as i said my file name is of format
    mithun.ruikar.121344.csv
    here last part is time stamp.
    and if use file name like 12344.csv or mithun.csv it works fine.
    My problem is having filename with more than one dot
    and there are no duplicates.
    I would like to know some kind of escaping for these dots.

  • Convert image file names to labels and resizing images according to frame. Possible??

    Hi all,
    I have posted this question hastily in the main mac forum but then i realized it is a scripting question so I repost here.
    Q1: I have a client with 700+ images who has named the images with numbers and the caption:
    eg: 1.II.34. Walking down the road towards the building.tiff
    This is the name of the image file itself
    Is there a way to import the name of the file (possibly without the extension) and place it as a caption under the image without copying and pasting? A script maybe?
    I tried the labelgraphics script. Unfortunately it returned the extension as well. I was given a solution but did not work for me since it deleted everything after the first dot on the name. This was:
    in labelgraphics on line 105, change
    myLabel = myLink.name
    to
    myLabel = myLink.name.split('.')[0]
    So how can we tackle this so it deletes everything after the LAST dot?
    Q2: The image files I am given are all huge tiff files. I use the full 100% of the images but in my document they have to be much smaller . They are usually scaled down to 25-35% of the original file. So I end up with huge, unneeded documents.
    Is there a script that would work together with photoshop maybe?
    It would need to read the frames dimensions the image is in, open the linked file inside photoshop, resize it with a specified interpolation to maybe 110% of the frame's dimensions, set the resolution (if not set) to 300 dpi save the image as a copy (or with a suffix or prefix), leave photoshop open (for the next image to be processed), relink to the new image and go to the next image
    I know it sounds a lot but I was amazed by the issues people handle in this forum and thought I would give it a try
    Thank you in advance
    Michael

    Peter thank you so much. It works like a charm.
    As for Q2, I spent some time doing research and came up with a couple of scripts that sound like they could do the trick.
    a) Image Transform or Rasterize
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1509 022#
    b) Resample Project Images to 100%
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1612 518#
    Still, since I am such an ignorant I do not know which one would be the proper one.
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
    Thank you once more

  • How to automate multiple output file names from a single input image?

    I have about 100 eps cmyk 4000 pixel wide images to process daily.  The website needs several jpeg editions of the same image: 1000 pixel wide, 850 pixel wide, and 80 pixel wide.
    Question:
    Can I load the single source and save three differently named outputs through a single droplet?
    I was hoping for an Automation -> Batch answer, but I am a programmer.  I haven't touched ExtendScript nor scripted anything in CS, but I can certainly read about it.  Any examples I can download or references to methods that would do a "Save As" very similar to the Jpeg Save For Web?  Any links would be helpful.

    You will find many examples at ps-scripts.com

  • Per-preset file name format for external editing presets

    This would be so that you could add an identifier of the program to the filename, as in [filename]-viveza, say, if you have edited the file in that plugin. That way, you would be able to track which programs you have filtered a particular file through.

    Thanks, web-weaver and Victoria. Do you know of a reference that summarizes how much file size can be saved in compression? Are there pluses and minuses of the two compressed formats? I saw that at least one of the Nik filters (Viveza) can only use an uncompressed file if of TIFF format.
    I have done some more research on LZW vs. ZIP. http://vitaleartconservation.com/PDF/digital_image_file_formats_n_storage_v20a.pdf suggests that LZW will typically give about a 6% compression; ZIP will give more but, apparently, isn't as universal.

  • All media files lost from folder while editing! Entire movie now gone HELP!

    After a dozen painstaking hours of editing a movie (iMovie 3.0.3) on my iMac G4 with OS 10.2.8, all of my media files mysteriously vanished from the media folder. The trash is empty both in iMovie and in my desktop trash. Files nowhere to be found. They were there one second... the next, gone!
    I was undoing a transition deletion at the time and may have hit command-x instead of command-z or some other crazy key combo. I have no idea how this happened of what happened for that matter. I need these files! Can they be recovered somehow? My available disc space has changed to about 5GB more. I quit out of iMovie hoping to not save these changes to no avail.
    Is there a utility that can recover lost files? I'm not too knowledgable in this department. YIKES! Has this happened before to anyone?

    I'm afraid the news isn't good, truegrit.
    Older versions of iMovie had a bug that could delete all the clips in the Media folder, causing the loss of everything. That may have happened to your project.
    If it helps, it's probably not something you did. That version of iMovie did it on its own. It can follow emptying the iMovie trash.
    Emptying the iMovie trash could cause lots of different problems; that was the worst of several. Fortunately, iMovie 5 and iMovie 6 do not have this bug.

  • Camera RAW - freezing while editing image and also wont update to new version

    I moved from Mac 10.6.8 computer to a new Mac 10.10 computer. When I did, I transfer of all my files through data migration and it moved photoshop and bridge over for me without having to reinstall. Which was good because I do not have the disc anymore. My Adobe version is CS5. The problem I am having is that when I open large amounts of files within camera RAW (like anything over 15), the camera RAW program freezes. I then have to shut it down and reopen it again. I made sure to try other folders and files and it has happened over 6 times in different locations and different files and different amount of files opening. Any ideas? I noticed that maybe I needed to update my Adobe application because of the computer move, but when I went to the help menu and update, it goes through the entire process of updating all Adobe Applications and fails giving an error message only at the end saying, " There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."
    HELP!

    "Migrating", transferring or copying applications is not just asking for trouble, it's demanding trouble.
    Always install from scratch, from the original media, CD/DVD or download.
