CS5.5 Handles Previews Better?

Is there any difference how CS5.0 and 5.5 handle render previews?  Is there any improvement?

I think they don't work at all.  I think the only thing they're good for is for buttery playback, but to use them in exports does absolutely NUTT'N, at least according to my testing detailed here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/886122?tstart=0

  • Should web images be sharpened or does Photoshop just "handle" jpegs better now & it's unnecessary

    We have between 3-4MB "full size" print-quality product images that get downsized to about 204px wide x 300, and then proportionally smaller yet to 135 wide and 100 wide for our website.
    The graphic designers I work with say there's no need to be sharpening these web-destined images--that "Photoshop handles jpegs better now and there's no point in sharpening at all." (This was in response to them providing images that are oversharpened and my asking them to adjust their settings.)
    I'm only a "nonprofessional" photoshop user--but that just doesn't sound right to me (unless we don't want crisp images on our website).
    Can anyone enlighten me if I am out of date and it's true no sharpening is needed?
    Or if sharpening would be of value, provide a constructive response I could share with them and even an article I could direct them to with information/guidance on finding a good "bulk" way to do some sharpening (expecting the 3 sizes to be done by hand for the 50 or so product images a month isn't an option)?

    It depends. I'd say 300 pixels is so small that sharpening may be counter-productive - the pixels may just get in the way.
    Around 800-1000 pixels or up I always sharpen, and I have a couple of actions for it. Personally I don't like the "Bicubic Sharper (reduction)" algorithm, I think it overdoes it, and in the wrong way, giving just that oversharpened look. I prefer "Bicubic Smoother" and sharpen afterwards.
    Confining sharpening to midtones, fading out high and low, always helps to reduce halos. There's a section of about 20 steps in my actions that does just that, trouble is I can't remember what they were...

  • Bridge CS5 not previewing .NEF files

    Bridge is only showing the .NEF image and won't load a preview. I've updated to latest ACR and Bridge on my Mac to no avail. My camera is a Nikon D7000.

    Can you open the files in Adobe Camera Raw?  If so, that means that you have the ACR plug-in installed correctly.
    What you need to do is to Purge the Cache for the offending folder(s) containing the raw NEF files, by going through the Tools menu in Bridge:
    If that doesn't work, tell us what version you see in Photoshop when you go to Photoshop > About -Plug-in > Adobe Camera Raw…
    We also need to know the exact version of Photoshop CS5 and of the OS you are running.
    Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

  • IGetPreviewIconHandler - handling preview unavailable

    There are cases when a preview is not available server side (in the DAM). What should be the approach in these cases in the IGetPreviewIconHandler implementation?
    Our assumption is to throw a NotFoundException. This leads to the correct result in the UI (both the AD version panel and Bridge seem to handle it correctly). Throwing the exception however also results in an uncaught exception in the AD log, which indicates that the thrown NotFoundException is not properly handled.

  • Can't preview animation presets via AF CS5 in Preview window in Bridge CS5

    None of the animated Presets in After Effects Support Files will play in the Bridge previewer. Other media show up fine. I'm running Windows 7 64bit, X4 955 processor, 8 gigs RAM. All other CS5 programs work flawlessly. The only possible solution I found from Adobe for Bridge was the following which did not work: Select this option if slide shows or images in the Preview panel, Full Screen Preview, or Review mode don’t display correctly. Using software rendering for previews displays previews correctly, but the display speed may become slow and there may be other limitations. 1.In Advanced preferences, select Use Software Rendering. 2.Restart Adobe Bridge Any other options?

    This is a graphics card/driver issue.  Make sure you have the latest updates.
    Also, I beilve the that animition effects rely on Quicktime, so make sure you have that installed as well.

  • I've tried everything... problem in CS5 with previewing mode.

    I hope someone can help me. I have tried everything, I am pretty new to Flash CS5 and am using ActionScript 3.0 to create buttons, every time I preview or even insert my clip into Dreamweaver it just flashes and flashes. On the timeline everything looks correct for up, over, down & hit, so I am pretty sure it's nothing within the button.. are there any settings for this... or suggestions of what I could be doing wrong?? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been hurting my head for days with this so I figured it was time to seek help

    From your description, it sounds like the Flash file is looping. Flash will do that unless you tell it to stop at the end of the timeline. Add a layer to the timeline, go the last frame of the movie, and add a keyframe in this new layer. Select the keyframe, open the actions window and add stop(); to the actions. Now your movie won't loop.

  • CS5 Print preview window heavly inconsistant with left margin

    I can adjust my images to look fine in the print window display with the paper size I select. However the printed image does not accurately track what is shown in the preview.
    It does not matter if I print borderless or with border.
    I suppose it is a minor quibble in that moving the preview image left margin to the right (positive values) by small amounts the print out actually moves it to the left by that small amount. At first I thought this might be random paper alignment errors but the behavior is too consistent. But as I continued my tests I could not significantly/consistently shift the image to the right until a movement finally happened between 1/2 and 6/10ths of an inch. Only then did I get the actual 6/10th white border on the left side of the printout.
    What the heck am I doing wong? Is this a bug? The old print preview was so much better as it gave a WYSIWYG output. Now it seems to be a crap shoot whether your border adjustments match your desired shift.
    This is too blatant of an error to be a bug, so what am I overlooking? There seems to be some kind of rasterization of the movement going on I don't know about.

    That's a bit surprising, in that I've found HP in general to support their released hardware better than most when a new OS is released.
    But it's not unheard of.  Manufacturers don't benefit measurably by supporting old hardware, though it's a no-brainer that doing so builds brand loyalty.  In fact, I'm sure there are marketeers in these companies that actually believe forcing you to buy a new device is a Good Thing.  The printer is not supposed to be a consumable!
    Scanners are more often devices that fall into this trap.  Over time I've thrown away two perfectly working scanners (one Canon and one Mustek) because they weren't supported by their manufacturer upon release of a new version of Windows.  On the other hand, my little, cheap HP 932c printer is still perfectly supported in Windows 7, even though I bought it back in the days of XP.  Perhaps it has something to do with numbers of units sold.
    Anyway, best of luck getting things worked out.  I'm very sorry to hear that HP may be going the way of the other manufacturers.

  • With an iPhone 5 is a way to handling backlight better. Flash doesn't do it.

    How can I handle backlighting in an iPhone 5 camera? The flash doesn't it and there is no way to use "spot metering".

    Camera+ is also a camera app. It has much better metering options than the built in app. Put your thumb and finger together on the screen while in camera mode then spread them appart. You'll get the icons for focus and exposure which can be moved around separately.
    Best of luck.

  • Indesign cs5 - move preview

    In InDesign CS5 when you move elements they are previewed right away, as opposed to CS4 where you would just see an outline untill you dropped the element (unless you held down the mouse button longer). Is there a way to use the old CS4 behavior? This is drastically affecting performance, and making moving element very jittery, even on my 8-core mac pro with tons of ram.

    As a matter of fact, there is. Edit>preferences>interface. Change Live Screen Drawing to Delayed.

  • Bridge CS5 not previewing all PDF pages

    Hi there
    After installing CS5 bridge only shows the first 2 pages of PDFs in the preview pane. Older PDFs seem to be ok, just not newly created ones. What am I doing wrong?
    I note that there's a preference for this in InDesign for INDD/IDML previews - is there one for PDFs?
    Thanks!
    Luke

    Thanks for your reply Fran, but I think you misunderstood the problem. My biggest annoyance with Bridge is that I need to open a PDF in Acrobat, Preview, or even Quick Look to view more than the first two pages, when I should be able to in Bridge.
    I understand for cross-platform reasons you can't rely on OSX's native PDF viewing capability, but come on - Adobe developed the PDF format. Is this too much to ask?
    I realise you can change your settings in InDesign so that it embeds previews for all pages, but this bloats your PDF file a LOT. Why cannot Bridge just render PDFs without these InDesign-embedded previews?
    At the moment Bridge can't even tell me how many pages there are in a PDF before I open it - it always comes up with '2' if there are 2 or more. Hopeless.
    I'd be happy to turn on previewing for all pages in InDesign just for INDD and IDML files as I don't care about the size of these files, but then you get the nasty huge PDF file sizes, even on Smallest File Size export setting. So I have to leave that turned off.
    Thanks anyway

  • CS5 handling metadata differently then CS4?

    Hiya there.
    I have a general workflow of applying metadata with GeoSetter - Viewing in Bridge - Opening in ACR & Photoshop for editing - then producing albums for upload with Jalbum.
    I found all the photos I've edited since using CS5 generates this error in Jalbum when it attempts to produce reduced size images for the album -
    ICC APP2 encountered without prior JFIF!
    I have Photoshop convert all images into an sRGB workspace and save in the same profile.
    I found that if I just reopen and save in CS4 with no changes Jalbum will handle them properly, if i open good ones in CS5 and save, again with no changes, it suddenly gives me that error.
    The issue is for Jalbum to produce the galleries I have to tell it not to save the exif data in the rescaled images.
    The problem with that is suddenly all my shooting settings, gps, time stamps, contact info, etc... is gone including the ICC color profile information. So aside from loosing all that other info the sRGB image becomes an untagged sRGB image that will generally look oversaturated/constrasted when viewed on wide gamut screens.
    What's CS5 doing differently all of a sudden from CS4?

    Until they fix the bug (and it sounds like they probably just used old JPEG code without understanding it), the only real option is to resave the files in another application that writes JFIF compliant (old school) JPEG files.  That could be an older version of Photoshop, as you've already done.
    It's not really the metadata that's different, just one tag in the file that they expect, but isn't there anymore.  For some reason when that tag is missing, they give up on parsing everything else.

  • Bridge (CS5) stopped previewing avi Files.

    All of a sudden can't preview avi files (dv-avi mainly) in bridge. Other files show ok.
    I get the thumbnails but no preview. Bridge is a part of CS5 Production Premium.
    Used to be ok. Haven't made any changes to the PC (Win7 Pro 64bit)
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    Movie fles can be tricky.  I also have some avi files that have no thumb and others that do.  However, they all play.
    Check the edit/preferences/playback and see if the correct boxes are checked.
    Also, check Quicktime and see that it is up to date.  If it has been updated recently perhaps that has caused the problem. Believe Bridge uses Quicktime for video preview.

  • Likely bug with external editing (in CS5 not CS6 beta) and edited image not showing back up in LR

    I have come across something strange today that I've not seen before. I'm running LR 4.0 under Win7 64-bit. I usually use Photoshop CS6 beta as my external editor, but invoke CS5 when I have to use some tools that don't support the beta. Here is the scenario:
    * I have CS5 open
    * I externally edit an image in CS5 and Save it from CS5 when I'm done
    * The edited image does not show up in LR
    * I close LR and reopen it
    * There is the edited image!
    I have duplicated this many times this evening. I don't think I've seen it when I've used CS6 beta.

    Something strange is going on because I had the behavior reported of edited image not showing up after using another filter, Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.

  • How do I make After Effects CS5.5 preview in full FPS?

    I have After Effects CS5.5 and whenever I put a clip into it and try to play the clip in a preview I get a message in the player that says its playing at a certain frame rate out of the frame rate it should be and then in parentheses (not realtime). How do I fix this because the average FPS I get on a preview is around 9 FPS which for me is unusable a lot of the time.

    To answer your question directly, don't push play!  AE can't play a thing because it was never designed to.  Do a RAM Preview by hitting zero on the numeric keypad.
    And since you're brand-new here, there's a VERY crucial question to ask: have you ever used After Effects before?
    The reason: it's not the kind of application you use for a couple of tricks with and expect things to turn out right the first time.  It takes a good knowledge of the AE basics to make it do what you want.
    So how do you get the basics?  You go here: http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html.
