CS5.5 question

Everytime I go to shutdown the program, it ends up 'not responding' in task manager and at the top of the window for the software and I have to 'End Task' it in task manager.  How do I remedy this? 
EDIT:  Are there any known issues with this software and NVidia beta drivers 310.70? I'm using a GTX 690

When I go to export a video, the export window is stuck on 'rendering...'  in the video preview area.  The same thing happens when i try to use Adobe Media Encoder.  The preview for the video is stuck on 'rendering...' And i haven't started rendering anything yet. 
When I press the Export button or Start queue, both programs give me an error message.
EDIT: I've cleared the media cache files and deleted all render preview files.

  • [JS][CS5] question, and comments

    HI All.
    I must first start off by recommending anyone seriously wanting to get into Scripting, or (like me) am fairly knowledgable, but needed the resource, to check out "InDesign CS5 Automation Using XML & Javascript" by Grant Gamble. (Amazon, Kindle etc...)
    I am sure I am not the only one who has made his way, stumbling and even hacking through code to produce scripts that work well, but not really understanding why certain things were done in a certain way. This books helps a great deal with this, laying a good basis for further development.
    Anyway, on to my question. In the afore mentioned book, he talks about making a global variable/object that is used to pass variables into throughout the script ie:
    var g = {};
    main();
    g = null;
    function main(){
    //code here
    //g.win = new Window("dialog",undefined,"New Window");
    //etc.....
    I can see how this works, with "g" being a master item, but why would this be needed? It seems more confusing to me, but maybe cause I am self taught, and not really been shown the "proper" way to use variables!
    Can someone explain the reason behind this for me.
    Many Thanks

    Hi, Roy:
       I'm going to try again.
        Don't fool yourself. A difference of opinion doesn't mean both sides are right. It could well mean one side is wrong. (Maybe that's me. Maybe that's Jongware. Let's wait and see what he has to say.)
        In this case...this design pattern is just dumb. Unless there's something you're not showing us, like multiple functions that need to exchange data...in which case there is probably a better way, but it's hard to evaluate.
        The pattern is dumb because it does bad things with no upside. It makes the code harder to read. It adds potential conflicts with other scripts. And it has no benefit.
        I should probably have given you yet another example of something better. The very simple one. It's not as good because it still pollutes the namespace with main, but it's easy to understand and to read:
    main();
    function main() {
       var g = {};
       g.win = new Window("dialog", undefined, "New Window");
    Even ignorance of a fnuction is probably better, since you could wrap it in a function later on (as your program got more complex) and it would all still work. That is:
    var g = {};
    g.win = new Window("dialog", undefined, "New Window");
    But I suspect you're oversimplifying the program, since you told us that the point of this "technique" was to "pass variables into throughout the script."
    But your example doesn't demonstrate any "passing." It's not too clear exactly what you mean though.
    But here are some examples:
    var g = {};
    f1();
    f2();
    function f1() {
      g.able = "baker";
    function f2() {
      alert(g.able);
    There we have some data moving from f1() to f2(). But it's still poor. You should write it like this:
    main();
    function f1() {  return "baker";
    function f2(s) {
      alert(s);
    function main() {
      var tmp;
      tmp = f1();
      f2(tmp);
    But if for some reason it was really complicated and you needed to have f1() and f2() messing around directly with the data, then you could have a variable that was scoped to both of them:
    function main() {
      var shared;
      function f1() {
        shared = "baker";
      function f2() {
        alert(shared);
      f1();
      f2();
    main();
    But still you would never set a variable to null when you were done. The language has much better features than that! Use them!
    When the enclosing function exits, there's never any fear of anything else gaining access to the variable. No need to set its value, because nothing can access it! Cross the final } and you're set. Awesome!
    Obviously you put yourself at a level greater than someone needing
    this book, but I know my short comings, and can see HUGE value in a book
    detailing why certain practices are carried out
    Respectfully, this is not a reasonable answer.
    There are a lot of books out there. That you have found one that is better than forum posts does not mean it is a good idea to recommend it, especially when it seems to have problems. If you've read through several books and found this one to be better than the others, then that might be a good basis to recommend it. Or if you have searched high and low for books and failed to find any. Or if you were comparing it to Adobe's documentation on scripting. But by all means, do tell us the standard of comparison you're using...
    But it doesn't sound like you're doing that. It sounds like you're in one breath praising a book, without comparing it to anything else. And in the next breath, you're asking a question (rightly so!) about what appears to be a bad practice that is advocated by the book.
    That just doesn't make much sense.
    I hope I'm misinterpretting you.

  • Upgrading to cs5 question......extended vs. non extended

    I have the cs4 extneded version...is it possible to upgrade to the NON EXTNDED version as i really do not need the extended???

    The Adobe website addresses most of these upgrade questions.
    Yes, according to this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/upgrade/
    Is your Photoshop CS4 Extended a standalone version and you want to upgrade to Photoshop Standard CS5 standalone?
    Or is your Photoshop part of a Suite?

  • Upgrade from CS4 to CS5 question

    Does anyone know whether PS CS4 purchased in North America can be upgraded with CS5 upgrade purchased in Europe ? Does not plan to come back to US anytime soon and would rather find any potential problems out before spending 200 euros on the upgrade...
    Thanks in advance...

    Already tried with no answer. Will try calling local distributor here tomorrow.
    Btw - question to support are re-directed based on a location in AdobeID - my question on a different issue a while ago was refused to be answered because PS was purchased in US and my question was sent to European support - I was provided with US phone numbers...

  • NVIDIA Geforce 9400M and Adobe Photoshop/CS5 question

    Adobe states that their new software, due to ship April 30, will require a "... qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and 256MB of VRAM"
    Does the 9400M on the base model iMac and many other models including laptops, offer hardware acceleration to OpenGL?
    If I want to buy a new computer to run CS5, do I HAVE to buy the better models that do not have the 9400M? I'm sure the better model (with ATI Radeon HD 4670) would be better, but is it an absolute requirement? Adobe is not sure which models are qualified. I've been making a list of Intel based Macs that surely won't run CS5. A demo version is forthcoming to find out for ourselves. Any hardware geeks or engineers with tech info?

    Hi, this is a what I found out: The respective hardware is listed here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/831/cpsid_83117.html
    With my white Macbook 4.1 I have no problems to use all features of the regulard Photoshop CS5. Even when running on 2 monitors (I do the actual work on a 23" Apple Display and use the MacBook for my tools)
    Even a test with Photoshop Extended CS5 version has worked out but with lousy performance. In case there are people out who like to know, what can be done with OpenGL ... Adobe is great in hiding stuff:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404898.html#updating
    Further information can be found here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404898.html
    Also a lot information can be found in the 600+ pages Manual. This is also pretty much hidden. You need to activate the onlin help and than click the text in the upper right corner which read something like "Show Help-PDF (38MB)" ... the wording in German is "Hilfe-PDF anzeigen (38MB)
    Or you download it here:
    http://help.adobe.com/enUS/photoshop/cs/using/photoshop_cs5help.pdf
    http://help.adobe.com/deDE/photoshop/cs/using/photoshop_cs5help.pdf
    There is, however, a big problem as soon as several applications use OpenGL. In my case it is EyeTV. I can either view live TV or record it. I cannot do both. Neither can I view a recorded Clip in EyeTV. For me as a non-professional it appears, that OpenGL allows a program to do TWO things at a time which can only be done, if the storage (RAM) is separated). Since Photoshop and EyeTV fight for the same spaces only one can be on first. And Photoshop seems to dominate... the normal view of the picture is produced by the regular chip while the bells and whistles a supported by the graphic chip. EyeTV may even freeze.
    By the way, there is an option, to stop EyeTV (and probably other programs too) from using OpenGL.
    http://support.elgato.com/index.php?m=knowledgebase&a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=3097
    It works i.e. the basics like viewing and recording works but I have decided to use always only one OpenGL-program at a given time.
    Last comment - though you did not ask: I have marked under "Finder Information" to open in 32-Bit modus. The program as such works also without this mark but plug-ins like those from NIK-software do not work yet. Their updates are coming:
    http://www.niksoftware.com/support/usa/entry.php?view=faqs/generalanswers.shtml#CS5compatibility
    I will post my question on a related issue separately = will an increase of the graphic memory to 512MB guarantee better performance or it it also a question, how OSX 10.6 manages the split various memory chips?

  • Beginner PS CS5 question

    In PS CS5, I masked a rectangular selection on my first photo.   Then I dragged a 2nd photo on to 1st photo using the move tool and it creates a new layer which I can now see a portion the 2nd photo through my 1st photo's rectangular selection window I selected a minute ago.  So far so good.
    However, I can only see a portion of the 2nd photo through the window because the window is not large enough for the entire 2nd photo to be seen.  Is it possible to reduce the size of only the 2nd photo so that the entire 2nd photo is small enough to be seen through the 1st photos rectangular selection?
    Thank you.
    Sevkie

    If I understood your question the process is quite simple.
    1. Make sure the layer with the part you want to resize is the active layer
    2. Click "cmd" + "a"
    3. Go to the "Edit" drop down menu and select: "transform": "scale"
    4. Drag corner of the marquee until you have the size you want, then hit ENTER. To constrain the proportions hold down the shift key as you drag.

  • Total Training CS5 Question

    Hello
    This looks like a wonderful forum!
    I am new to CS5 and need to learn pretty much most of the programs it contains. I have started studying InDesign, PS, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash in a course I am doing, but I am finding the tutors go too fast to keep up with.
    I have been looking at the Total Training videos as a way of adding to my learning. I've also been looking for reviews on the videos. Whilst I have found user reviews for the Total Training videos for individual products (ie PS, Illustrator), I've not found any reviews for the Total Training CS5 video that contains all of the programs.
    My questions relate to the quality of the training videos, and also which way I should go with them.
    Has anyone used the CS5 Total Training video (the one for the entire suite), and what did you think of it?
    I've found that sometimes training, when it applies to an entire suite of products, (eg Microsoft Office), gives only the bare bones of a program. If you want to learn it properly, you are better off buying individual manuals for each program (eg, Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc).
    Is the CS5 training along a similar vein? In other words, are the individual Total Training videos for each product more comprehensive than the one that contains all programs, or is it about the equivalent? Am I better off buying individual training videos (albeit an expensive option), or does the comprehensive CS5 give a good education?.
    Recently I borrrowed a book on MS Office and then a seperate book on Word and Powerpoint. The MS Office manual, whilst thick and heavy, barely touched on what you could do with Word and PPT, and was hardly any use to me at all.
    I am making the comparison, because it is important to me to know whether Adobe training is similar.
    thanks all for your help
    cheers
    Donna

    Hi again Bob
    I spent some time on Lynda last night, and I did like what I saw. I suppose I will have to set up another computer to run the training while I follow along? Is that how ppl. do it, or click back and forth between program and the video?
    Although initially I was hesitant about the $25 (exchange rate makes a difference), I figured out that to do a workshop would cost $100's for 2 hour sessions at a time (and not able to do revision).
    I had been interested in the TT CS5 package because I could get a student rate for it, but then how comprehensive was it, hence my comng here.
    I think you've pointed to a better solution for me all round, as I need to learn several of the products quickly, and this way I probably can without spending heaps on videos, or less on a video that possibly isn't comprehensive enough, and manage cash flow at the same time (starving adult student w/ casual job only).
    Think I'm sold. Thank you, wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
    cheers

  • [JS][CS5] question on CS5

    Hi.
    My question is 2 parts.
    1) Will my scripts for CS3 run natively in CS5?  I know I can version control them, but I have always wanted to work natively as much as possible.
    2) My main client that I have written many scripts for have told me that they will be getting InDesign CS5 in a couple of months.  I have not found an official release date yet from Adobe. Anyone here know? (Silly question, I know some of you probably even have a beta)
    Cheers
    Roy

    You probably know the answer to your own question!
    Those that know can't say, and those that say don't know...
    You know the history of scripting right?
    Things change (at least they did with every release until now), but 
    you have always(usually) been able to fall back with versioning...

  • DW CS5 question about page layout viewed in different browsers

    Hello.
    I am still very new to Dreamweaver CS5 and I need help with the appearance of a new website that I have been creating. We are mac based and I'm currently using Mac OS10. The layout I have created should appear centered on the page and it contains a solid background image. When I view it on our macs using Safari, everything looks exactly as it should, but when viewing it on a PC using the Internet Explorer 8, the text, spry menu bar and image of a doctor on the right hand side (that is set to change every time the page is refreshed), all shift to the right. Any advise on fixing this issue would be extremely helpful. The index page and the pages under the obstetrics menu are the only ones that I have completed so far. Here is a link to the web page: http://www.advertools.net/COBGYN/index.html
    Thank you for your assistance.

    Hi
    Yes, I am referring to the fact you are using absolute positioning for the divs, and that this is causing your problems.
    If you change the top, left/right values you are using to position them to % values this will alleviate the problem, (not completely though). Instead of say -
    top: 500px;
    left: 450px
    use
    top 70%;
    left: 40%;
    The values are only examples and you will have to adjust these to suite your needs.

  • Interactive Presentation indesign CS5 Question

    Hi
    I'm trying to create an interactive presentation/ portfolio in Indesign CS5.
    For each page I would like to have a number of small images at the bottom of the page, which the user could then click and a larger version of the image would appear in a larger image box in the middle of the screen.
    Is there a quick and tidy way to do this?
    Any help very welcome!
    Many Thanks!

  • Upgrading from CS2 to CS5 question

    I bought CS2 in 2005. My boss at my job wants to buy an upgrade for me for InDesign and Photoshop to do some stuff for the company. I don't want to buy the whole CS5 Design Standard package upgrade, just the upgrades for InDesign and Photoshop. Is that possible? Thanks.

    No, it's not but you need to be aware of few things anyway.
    CS2 is unsupported on Leopard and Snow Leopard and has quite a few issues on Intel Macs.
    CS5 on the other hand is only supported on Leopard and Snow Leopard and is Intel Mac only.
    You can buy the Standard suite at Amazon for $695 with free shipping: http://amzn.to/aJrWzh.
    But IMO, you'd be better off with Design Premium for about $70 more: http://amzn.to/dsHO0a.
    Why? Check out this article on my website: http://www.theindesignguy.com/purchase-advice.shtml
    Hope that helps,

    The 64 bit machine will actually end up with both 32 and 64 bit Photoshop installed.
    As mentioned, you will not have to install the prior version to upgrade.

  • Wacom and CS5 Question

    I installed a intuos 4 tablet last nite on a windows 7 machine.When I open CS5 there is a small tab on the right side of the screen.I went ot make an exposure adjustment and a small window popped up with a line for me to freehand my numerical value in.I also notice that it has a small keyboare icon and when you click this a mine keyboard pops up in the window.How can I disable this?
    TY

    As far as I know that is a feature of the tablet capability of Windows.  You can move it to another part of the screen.  There should be a possi
    bility with the control panel to put it either on the left or right side of the screen or move it vertically along the screen
    to put it out of the way of your tools.  You can also make your workspace a few pixels smaller so that you won't
    accidentally hover over this control item and activate it.  There might be other solutions but as far as I know once you install tablet
    drivers in Windows that box is at-the-ready waiting to be used with the tablet.
    Check your Control Panel for Tablet PC options.
