CS5.1 Raster Issues

I'm using Illustrator CS5.1 and just recently I can no longer open or place any raster type of image. Last week there was no issue and now, I just get a blank page. My .ai files work just fine, but nothing else.
Thanks.

Photoshop CS5 Droplet Issues

So I have to pose this question to you all since we are having a rather massive problem at my work here with this. The company I am working for is a large automotive restoration parts company and we have 7 full vehicle catalogs. Here is a bit of the explanation to what is we are doing.
Basically what is happening is that we use droplets to convert images to CMYK profile for our printer, create a web jpg and thumbnail and place it in the appropriate folder for being transferred to our database. The action we are using for this is as follows.
Save For DB and Web
Save- to a location on our server
Convert Mode- RGB for web
Image size- to reduce the size for web
Export- as jpg for web
Image size- reduces size for thumbnail image for web
Export- adds _thumbnail behind part number
Close
We have 5 different droplets that do basically the same thing in the end. Our work flow here is nothing special but here is now it work. All images are placed on a server(Apple server running Snow Leopard Server 10.8.6) for use in our catalog(linked in to Indesign) all as EPS. For the web jpgs the images are transferred into a large folder which once a week or so we run a bulk loader in our database software for use with our website. Images are transferred to the web server and all is deleted once it database has the image imported.
Now here is the problem. Randomly the droplets will not make one or more of the files when it runs. Most of the time it is perfect and has no issues. Sometimes it will create the EPS and not the jpgs, other times it will create only the thumbnail and others just the EPS and web but no thumbnail. It is just random and across 5 different droplets(only difference between them is where the EPS is saved to, the jpgs are saved to the same place in all of them). We recently updated all the droplets to CS5 .app extension as before we though the issue was because we were running CS3 created droplets but the issue has not changed. I am running them on both an iMac and Mac Pro, both running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and they both have this issue. I am running the latest version of CS5 with all updates(have CS6 on order and will be trying that shortly). No once else has this issue like I do but I am running the most images on the droplets to place in the database so I think that is why I am seeing the most errors. One of my former coworkers was having this issue for years before I worked here and he was having them until his last day here. I am at a loss but I have a feeling that it has to do with the Apple Server that the department is using. I am not an apple fanboi at all and dislike using apple products but it is what I have to do in order to get work done so I continue to do it. So unless the computer knows I dislike it and is doing this as a form of revenge it has to be something. I personally think it is the server but I wanted to though out there to see what others think it could be.
I decided to make new droplets from scratch and have them saved onto a difference server as well as the original to see if it is a server. The second server that I am saving to has been perfect, while the normal server that is supposed to be is having issues. The server is the same controller, but has different RAID banks. The second server is limited access to only me and the other photographer I work with and is just a backup server.
Anyone have any ideas on what is going on or has encountered this issue before?

Yes, open a raw file with Photoshop's Camera Raw, then move the sliders around - e.g., Shadows, Highights, Blacks, Whites, to bring the extreme parts of the exposure in.
It's surprising what results can be gotten from a single raw file:

Photoshop CS5 HDR Issues

Hi,
I've been using HDR with Photoshop CS5 for quite some time, and I'm now switching to CS6, but am having some troubles that I've never had before.
Here's a rundown of what's happening. First, I go to file -> automate -> merge to HDR
I then make the changes to gamma, exposure, etc. I leave the 16-bit and local adaptation alone; I've never changed any of that before. Someone mentioned how that could be an issue, but I never adjust any of that. After making the desired edits of colors, exposure, etc., I hit process. I'll show here what I get in the "preview" window where all of the work is being done, and then what the end result is.
Preview window:
What it comes up with after:
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Ai CS3 CS5 - Raster Effects Resolution changes

Just upgraded from CS3 to CS5.
An Illustrator logo that contains a drop shadow (created in Ai CS3), placed into InDesign (CS5), and exported to PDF, fails in PDF checking due to low resolution.
I traced this back to the Ai file. The Document Raster Effects have changed from High-300dpi in CS3, to Screen-72dpi in CS5. Ooops. When I open the same file back in Ai CS3, the Document Raster Effects are still set to High-300dpi as they should be.
Is this a known bug/undocumented feature? If so, is there a workaround? Or is it just me?
Thanks in advance...

125 ppi for a Lambda? As far as I know there are two resolutions for the Lambda 200 ppi and 400 ppi so I assume that if you give the sjop the 125 ppi file they will res it up.
However if your lab says fine to the 125 ppi and you have done this before it would seem to make sense.
However if they are using Illustrator to out put the file, which I do not think they would since I believe the file has to be a tiff. I would set the raster image effect to 200ppi.
But only on out put or change it before sending the file to the lab.

CS5.5--Issues with audio from imported avi's & issues exporting

To Start, my laptop:
CPU: Intel® Core ™ i7-2330QM CPU @ 2.00 GHz
CPU Clock Frequency: 2.00 GHz
System Memory: 8 GBytes
Cache Memory: 1 MBytes/6 Mbytes
Manufacturer: Sony Corporation
Model name: VPCF226FM
BIOS VERSION: R1190V#
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
ME Version: 7.0.10.1203
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
I downloaded the 30-day free trial of Premiere Pro CS5.5 with all updates. To play with the program, for my own personal amusement, I wanted to edit together pieces from a bunch of avi videos that I know to play properly outside the program, tested on more than one computer.
At first, importing the files seemed to be no problem, making subclips as I went along.
However, as I continued to import files, there began to be a sound issue--sometimes the sound not being present till I was 1/3 of the way through the clip, sometimes the sound seemingly playing catch up with audio that should be earlier in the video appearing later, sometimes the sound wouldn't come up at all, and still other times I'd be, for example, on video 5 when pieces of audio from video 2 would start playing over the current video.
I initially thought it may just be a memory issue, working with many large video files.
But later, when I went to edit the subclips I made, I found that many of them no longer had sound, even if they did when I initially subclipped them.
Weirdly, in the timeline, there is no consistency, as clips will appear in the video track but only some show audio tracks too. But those with audio tracks don't always play audio and those that show NO audio tracks at all actually do play audio sometimes. Also, those that show audio tracks and don't play them sometimes will show waveforms, sometimes don't. A clip with no waveform may not play 95% of the time, but then occasionally will suddenly have the waveform and play a couple times before reverting back to no audio.
A suitable solution for this personal amusement project would just be to drop a new soundtrack over the thing but, before I even got that far, I tried exporting as avi's and mpeg4's but then get error messages such as:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-785]
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
In case it was a memory issue, I tried starting a new project, only importing 2 videos, but had the same audio and exporting issues.
I'm getting really frustrated as I spent a lot of time importing/subclipping and then even more time prepping before that.
For those who are bound to ask, while new to Premiere, I'm not a novice with editing. I've used Final Cut Pro at work for many years (without such issues).
Thanks for your help.

Illustrator cs5 selecting issue in mountain lion

I'm having a strange issue using illustrator cs5 after updating to mountain lion. I have a line of text that I rotated and copied several times so it resembles an asterisc shape * (3 lines of type fanned out over a central point). When I select 1 line of type, 2 or more lines are selecting. It happens even if I try to click in an empty area of the file (white space). The kicker is that it even happens in outline view (even in the white space). Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure what is happening, but a workaround might be to put each line of type on its own layer, then lock and/or hide layers you don't want to select.

Acrobat 8 raster issue

I'm using Acrobat 8 print to Apdobe PDF to create a pdf document, but it seems every .joboptions setting I use creates rasterized artwork. I am printing from a pdf form to pdf in order to be able to step and repeat. The source PDF form is using a vector eps logo and standard system font. This just started happening a few days ago. I've had no issue for years up to this point. I can't send rasterized artwork to my printer.
I've tried every .joboptions setting, even creating my own. "Print as image" is turned off.
Thanks.

Yes, the page 2 logo does have 3 raster images in it.
Yes, I am using Acrobat Default in Advanced, mixed with a custom High Quality Print profile under Properties.
Oddly, when switching from Default to Custom, then back to Default, the issue has resolved itself. I made no other changes other than to cycle the settings under Advanced.

Acrobat and InDesign CS5 file issue

Hi everyone...
My issue is that Acrobat won't or can't convert InDesign CS5 files. It opens Illustrator and Photoshop and converts them to pdf's but not InDesign.
I've tried everything. I've even tried Adobe tech help. No luck. It was a relatively easy procedure in CS4, not to mention a time saver.
Is there someone that knows how to resolve this? Please help as I'm desperate to avoid having to convert all my InDesign files one at a time.

Hi Matthew-
Our workflow often involves combining multiple IND files into a pdf. With CS4, we merely opened acrobat, clicked "Merge Files into a Single PDF" and dropped in the indesign files we wished to combine. Presto- we had one PDF with all IND files put together without having to go through indesign.
In response to your post, I only have CS5 installed, and it seems as though Acrobat doesn't recognize ID CS5 as a program at all. I believe I am current on all InDesign and Acrobat 9 updates to date - I'm running InDesign7.0.2 and Acrobat 9.3.4.
When trying to open IND files through Acrobat, Acrobat launches and gives an error message that states: "Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
Acrobat can't call InDesign CS5 to open at all. Could this be because Acrobat was not updated along with the CS5 suite and therefore doesn't recognize the new CS5 Indesign files?
I read another blog that mentioned it could be a registry problem- they ran CCleaner and ran the registry fix. Then uninstalled and reinstalled both Acrobat and Indesign. What are your thoughts on this method? It's hard for me to try this on my own, as it requires an administrative login- our IT department has us locked out. I would like another opinion before I ask them to help.
Do you forsee a fix from Adobe in the future?
Thanks for your help!

Illustrator CS5 font issue

I know this is a quirky issue, but I'm hoping someone can help me solve it.
I just bought Illustrator CS5 for Windows last week. Prior to installing it, I had a full set of Myriad Pro variations on my system. Those included Semibold Condensed and Semibold Condensed Italic, plus Semibold Black and Semibold Black Italic.
After installing Illustrator CS5 with its default settings, the four variations above were no longer on my system. Opening older files using them in Photoshop CS4 gave me an error message that the fonts weren't found.
I see that Illustrator CS5 came with some fonts, including some members of the Myriad Pro family - but not these 4.
I'm wondering what happened to my previous fonts. And I'm also wondering where I got them originally. I have Photoshop CS4, InDesign CS4, Dreamweaver CS4 and Acrobat 9 Pro all installed on my system. But I checked the discs for all of those and these 4 faces weren't on any of them. I know I didn't buy them separately. But I can't figure out where I got them so that I can reinstall them.
Does anyone who why they would have disappeared with the installation of Illustrator CS5? And do these 4 come standard with some Adobe program that I may have installed but haven't checked?
I know it's weird but it's making me crazy. I've used these quite often and have several existing files that need them.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I was thinking the same thing about the legitimacy of the fonts. These are just a single .otf file download. I don't see those files free anywhere else, so I'm thinking they're either knockoffs or illegal downloads. But the .otf file properties say "Authors Robert Slimbach and Carol Twombly. Copyright 2000 Adobe Systems, Inc. Myriad is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems." I'm just not going to take a chance. Probably turn my computer into a pumpkin!
Thanks to everyone for the help.
P.S. I mistyped the face names in the original message. They are actually Semibold Condensed and Semibold Condensed Italic, plus Black Condensed and Black Condensed Italic. Looks like they're available on Adobe's site.

Audition CS5.5: Issues with Playback

I can't get anything to play in Audition CS5.5. I can do everything else in Audition except play or record files. I just got a new Macbook so my operating system is OX 10.9.3. Anyone know how to solve this issue?

"Device Class" refers to the audio driver model. You should see additional options for "Default Input Device" and "Default Output Device."
You should be able to view the different output devices available on your Macbook here. Make sure it's set to "Built-In Output", and "Built-in Microphone" for Default Input device. Click OK and attempt to play your file.
If this still fails, please let me know exactly what happens when it should be playing back. For instance, is the time counter moving the playhead traveling along the waveform, and the level meters bouncing along? Or does the Play button light up but everything just sits there?
Thanks.

PS CS5 Cursor issues

I've seen a few threads about the cursor jumping to 'black arrow', and I've witnessed myself several times, but this one is a bit different.
On brush (also on clone stamp, healing brush, etc) the cursor appears to be stuck as if I was holding the option key. If I begin to paint, it will act as it should, but as soon as I stop, its back to the precise cursor (or the eye dropper icon, depending on which I have chosen in the Prefs).
There are no issues in any other app (that I've seen), nor is it an issue in CS4
has anyone else seen this?
I'm on CS5
All updates have been run
OS 10.6.5
Latest Wacom Driver

def wasn't the caps lock... tried that. besides, when I did start painting, it went back to the normal brush cursor (as i have it set)

InDesign CS5 Stability Issues

I got really fed up today.
Trying to resize a magazine, all the articles are individual documents compiled in a book. So each "chapter" is at least 3 pages and at most 15.
I adore the spanning columns feature, I've got sevral articles that this is very handy to setup. But I find the whole program is completely unstable when using this feature.
I started removing the anchored text frames and applying the spanning columns for the headers, with a paragraph rule above for the background colour.
But if I click around too quickly the whole program freezes and won't budge. I could be selecting an anchored frame to remove it. Or changing paragraph style, or simply opening another panel.
I checked the Task Manager and watched for 15 minutes as InDesign consumed more and more memory - going from 150k to 650k in about 10 minutes.
This happened a bunch of times. I restarted, reset my prefs, exported to idml, and all the other nick nack fixes.
Indesign just keeps bombing out. At which point i have to end the process and then restart indesign and I lose a tiny bit of work.
So frustrated today - over seemingly simple tasks, like selecting something, and the program crashes. This behaviour does not happen when I am not using Span Columns.
Is anyone else having stability issues with CS5 and Spanned Columns?

Thanks Bob
I thought myself that there was a lot going on. And I appreciate that. But thinking about it, the only addition here is the spanning of columns and balanced columns.
I was at one stage incorpartaing detect edges on an image and had to give up on it because there was a 3 minute delay on simple things like cutting the image (as a test).
I just feel that perhaps more could be done in speeding up InDesign.
I've had a hard enough time updating the software, upgrading the hardware is going to be tough.
I don't think Indesign CS5 minimum specs included a supercomputer either?

PS CS5 launch issue

When I launch Photoshop CS5 the New Document window is opening automatically. Not sure what happened to cause this. Any idea on how to disable it?
Thanks!
Scott

I image that with an accidental Save As without »Alpha Channels« checked it could happen, but that would switch to »As Copy« and should hardly happen unnoticable as that usually also adds » copy« to the name.
As a precautionary measure you could additionally use the alpha channels as Layers Masks for empty Groups to have them stored in the Layers, too. But that naturally does not address the original issue.
