CS5 bug--clone source

In the clone source panel. It will not accept negative values for height or width. Photoshop CS4 does. It is a useful technique to do a "mirror" clone. PS CS5 (trial version) will not accept a value less than 1%.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Where do we submit bug reports?
Thanks,
Rod

Chris,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I found them, but they're not check boxes. They are buttons. The bad part is that they don't look like buttons. They look more like labels. And on my screen, the combination of their size and design make them ambiguous. I still couldn't find them even after reading your reply. It wasn't until I searched the help system a couple of times (see below) that I figured out where they were and what they did.
I like the idea of building this functionality into the interface without having to use a workaround. But it would help if they were more obviously buttons. I scoured the help files and looked everywhere in the panel to try to find out how to get this to work.
Clearly, if I'm trying to enter a negative number in the width box, I'm not a novice user. Just the fact that I'm using the clone source panel takes me out of the category. I was searching for the way to do this and couldn't find it. Sounds like a design flaw in the user interface to me.
While I'm in customer-feedback mode, I've often found the help system unhelpful. I consider myself an adept "searcher," but I frequently come up empty when searching the help system.
Thanks again for the prompt, helpful reply. Please pass on my feedback to the appropriate people.

Major CS5 bug where Smart Objets get thin horizontal lines??

Our prepress company has come across and proven out a rendering bug in Photoshop CS5 for Mac. It has caused us to consider totally avoiding CS5 until it's fixed. We are finding that CS5 is putting in several randomly generated thin horizontal lines about a pixel in height and varying widths, in cases where CS4 does not. Some files get these lines when converting live "smart objects" from one ICC colorspace to another.
I am providing a link to a specific file that shows proof of this bug. The example file has an embedded sRGB profile. To see the bug, set you working RGB colorpsace to AdobeRGB, and set your Policies to "Ask". During opening, USe the embedded profile. Then convert it to the AdobeRGB 1998 colorspace using File Convert, and do not rasterize the smart objects. You will see lines in the lower right hand corner after it's converted. Now go back and rasterize the smart object layers first, and these lines will not show up. And now do the same with CS4, without rasterizing the smart objects and you will not get lines. CS5 bug, CS4 no bug.
Let me know what you find on your end. Can any of the adobe employees document this for me and get it on the fix list?
Test file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ant3ya9aaft1a95

I also head a Graphics/Prepress department at a medium format digital print shop, with next day service to the casino industry. My two cents worth, CS4 did not have this issue, CS 4 was a Cocoa app and CS5 a Carbon app, to me that is not a reason why a major software company like Adobe has multiple leading products (PS, ID, Ill) that cause these kind of problems. I can't count the times my print opp's have come back with a file showing lines. Now, I have told my designers that we should also be looking for the lines, now that we know about it.
I have printed fabric before and it is a pain to print one and see if there are lines in it, but which is more painful, printing one to test? Or trashing $3k worth of fabric? I know this works for one image printed x times, but multiple images printing a couple each to fulfill the job would be a huge ordeal. Adobe doesn't understand that yet. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, maybe we should all start calling tech support daily.
I saw a post suggesting rasterize pdf's in lower PS to work around, clearly an ad agency/freelance solution, not a production house solution. Opening and closing PS12 and PS11 somewhere around 15 to 20 times, per work station? We process somewhere around 40 minimum pieces of art a day, and sometimes double that. I could rant on this suggestion all day.
The bottom line is Adobe has no clue where it is coming from, they are more worried about the iPad/mobile industry right now.

Separate blend mode for each clone source

If each clone source could have it's own blend mode (not to mention its own opacity and hardness) setting it would be more effective. The current blend mode setting in the clone source affects the preview only.
I often have to jump back and forth between Normal, Lighten, and Darken modes, and would like the convenience of clicking between sources already set to what I want.
Thanks

What goes on in the new "Clone Source Panel" is unrelated to Tool Presets oddly. It would be possible, to optionally allow recording of the settings in the Panel, as part of the Clone Tool Presets. But they never bothered to do it. Its as if this feature was designed with no understanding of the importance of Tool Presets at all. This would solve your problem.
The shortcut for Lighten Darken and Normal are Alt > Shift > G, K and N, respectively. This may speed up your work.

Clone Source options

What do the Show Overlay and Clipped options in the Clone Source panel do? I have them selected and do not see any difference.
Thanks.

You'll see the difference after you alt+click with the Clone Stamp tool. Show Overlay latches on a copy of the whole image to your cursor (not very useful on it's own) and the Clipped checkbox clips that big image to the brush cursor which makes aligning stuff much easier.

Problem Defining Source in CS5 for Clone Stamp and Healing Brush

I am struggling to define the source point for clone stamp or healing brush in Photoshop CS5. When I first installed the program it was working just as the instructions were set out in the help menu (e.g. alt click to define the source and then move the cursor to find the area to fix). I don't know what has happened, or if I've accidentally re-set something, but now when I 'alt-click' the entire photo is selected, and even when I let go, there is a layer consisting of the entire photo (not just one point) that moves over an exact copy of the same photo underneath. This happens regardless of whether I've created an extra adjustment layer. Help! (it used to work just fine. I don't know what I've done to change it)

Ok I am not sure what you are trying to do, but I believe it is to repair or correct some anomoly on an image you are working on.
With CS5 there is the patch tool the healing brush tool and the new spot healing tool (very cool of you have not played with it yet.)
I think what you are looking at, The "Clone Stamp" is not the tool you are looking for. the clone stamp esentually does exactly what you are talking about. It clones the layer you have highlighted so when you run your brush it paints that image.
The healing and redeye removal tools are all one grouping right click on the brush to make your choice.
I hope this helps.

DW CS5 bugs seen

System specs
Mac pro Early 2009 2.66 mhz 12 gigs ddr3
Osx 10.6.3
I don't know if anyone else has seen any of these issues, so i will post them in hopes that there may be a fix.
Downloaded creative suite cs5 for mac (trial)
Installed Photoshop/Dreamweaver
Testing how each work on Osx 10.6.3
Observations
1) can't always upload pages to ftp server (when clicling on file upload arrows Put and get will be grayed out) some times if I save the file before trying to upload the put/get option are available. sometimes I don't need to save the file first as the put/get option are available. And sometimes Imust click inside my page to be uploaded several time, and or save the file several times before I can get the Put/get option. I have even had to sometimes go to force quit to turn DW off and restart it to get DW working again
2) DW will not always shut down. ( when going to Dreamweaver>Quit Dreamweaver nothing will happen)
3) Copy paste of text inside of source code
I have had issues with DW not pasting a peice of code in to the page I am working on correctly. If I was to put
<hr /><br />
<p class="datatable"><strong>Want to be a host?</strong></p>
                   </div>
                   I mught see something like
<hr /><br />
< ="datatable">< g>Want to be a host?</strong></ >
This is vauge I know. I should of copied it down, but if it happens again I will add the exact code
                   </div>
4) when adding text from a docx I will sometime get the microsoft preferences embeded in the source code. so if I try to higliht all the new text from the docx tehn tell DW to reformat the text to one I use as a standard, DW will either only remove some of the original Docs embeding, So therefore I have to go into the code manuualy and remove all the microsoft source doe manually.
I know this is a bit, but before I decide to upgrade to cs5 I would like to know it works properly.
Just a side not
The Ftp bugs in cs4 have seemed to be taken care of( slow ftp transfer/files not being uploaded(even though dw said they were successfully uploaded even after several tries) would have to check each update to make sure ftp worked properly
Dw seems to work/open much faster.
Now I do have parallels for mac and haven't setup DW on it yet for testing, but I was hoping not to have to use two os's at once just to do my work.

My keychain assess requests will not take my password that I know is correct and I have been in the fix problem for the issue and at first it had a problem and now I go in and it says there is no problem. This was since I installed CS5 suite.
I worked with someone yesterday for the ftp problem because the site management would not keep the ftp information and I had to reinsert it each time. Well, that part was fixed but I can only drag and drop the files into the remote server and the "put arrow" says there is an error. He closed the case thinking it was going to work.
Now, with another site I can't get the connection to the FTP even though I checked with the host and found out that I had all the FTP info correct.
I haven't worked with any of the other sites as yet.
Thanks! Elvi

CS5 bug rendering anti-aliased text in 'Save for web'

Seems like there's a bit of a bug when using 'Save for web and devices' with thin weights of type in CS5 for Mac. Although thin type looks fine while working in Illustrator, as soon as you enter the 'Save for web' dialogue, it gets badly mangled. Looks like this issue has been present at least since CS4. It does not happen in Photoshop. It looks particularly bad for light text on a dark background.
Some people may say "sure, Illustrator is not really meant for intensive bitmap work". However, with features like 'pixel preview' and 'snap to pixel', Illustrator has (generally) become a very viable tool for web design, and personally I much prefer it to Photoshop. It is also clear that Adobe intends it to be usable in this manner. So the anti-aliasing render bug is definitely a problem. Just surprised they didn't address it when CS5 was born.
I put up some example images on http://www.thesheep.co.uk/2011/06/24/illustrator-save-for-web-anti-aliasing-problems/ to illustrate the problem.
Does anyone have any clever work-arounds for this? It's a bit annoying to have to move stuff over to PS before exporting, but maybe that's what I have to do. Hopefully Adobe will address this soon.

Hi,
I am experiencing this same problem of pixelated gifs when I use the "save for web" dialog from Illustrator, but this solution has not worked for me. I have tried the trick of using type-optimized anti-aliasing, but it doesn't change the output at all. I've done this from within the "Image size" tab as well as through Effect>Rasterize>Options)Anti-aliasing: Type Optimized. My image is a logo made entirely from text, although for some of it I used "outline path", so I'm not sure if it still qualifies as text...I'm a newbie at this stuff, so the technical details are still quite opaque to me.
Does anyone know of a solution to this that does not require me to add Photoshop to my workflow?
I'm using Illustrator in CS5, version 15.0.2.
Thanks in advance

Why does Premiere Pro CS5 process audio source before exporting clip in AME CS5?

Hello everyone, my first post here. I am currently trying out the trial CS5 Master Collection on my MacBook Pro. I've been using Premiere Pro CS5 to put together family videos. I select a certain portion of a sequence and queue it for export in Media Encoder CS5 in the format H.264 for iPod with video and audio.
Now in AME I have a queue list of about 5 clips from the sequence. But when I hit the Start Queue button, the bottom left of the progress bar states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]" for all 5 clips from the sequence then creates the first output file.
Then it moves to encode the second and again states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]" for all 5 clips of mt sequence then spits out only the second output file.
This continues for the remaining 3 output files. The total sequence length is ~32 minutes with transitions and it takes about 35 minutes to export which is all consumed by the process audio source of the 5 clips in my sequence for 5 separate times.
Is there a certain reason why Media Encoder or Premiere Pro does this process of audio source? Is this process necessary or needed? I experimented with choosing different output formats but the results are the same. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Now that's pretty good follow-up to your first post, and quickly too! Nice detective work.
As you have found, there is basically a Render/Replace operation going on in PrPro, to get the material in the correct form for AME.
Thank you for reporting, as it saved me, and others, from basically saying what you said.
Good luck, and sorry that you beat us to the punch.

Flash CS5 bug

My new installation of Flash CS5 acts very buggy. Keyboard shortcuts stop working, and I can pick fill colors but not text or line colors - just have a gray box with a few horizontal/vertical lines. Is this a known bug? Is there an easy fix? Closing and reopening the app fixes the keyboard shortcut problem, but then it returns. Color choosing problem is persistent even after restarting app.

Hi,
Regarding picking colors - it sounds like you have the alpha value for text/stroke color set to 0%. When you open the color picker, please check that the alpha field is at 100% (or anything but 0%).
Regarding the keyboard shortcut problem - are all keyboard shortcuts not working or only some?
Thanks,
Nivesh

Bug: '--' in source query results in ORA-01008

All,
I got bit by a rather odd little bug this weekend. Apparently, APEX doesn't like it if you try to select a string containing two dashes (the SQL comment delimeter --) as the source of a page item, but only if your query includes a binding to another page item. I put a demonstration up at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=16631:1. The value chosen in the select list doesn't matter; it's just there to be referenced in the queries used on pages 2 and 3.
Took me a while to realize what was going on. So, if you need to include two dashes as part of your selected values, use '-'||'-' (or some similar work-around). You'll save yourself some confusion.

Arie,
Then both documents are seriously misleading. :-) From the document you linked:
<b>Tip:</b>
This section is current as of the writing of this document. To view the most current listing of known issues, go to the Known Issues page available off the Downloads page. See:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/index.html
And from the latest version of the known issues linked on that page (which I linked to above):
Application Express 4.0.2 was released on November 19, 2010. It addressed most of the known issues with 4.0.1. Below are the remaining known issues and any new issues discovered.Combining those two statements leads to the clearly erroneous expectation that the four known issues on the 4.0.2 page are the only open ones.

[BUG] Removed source photos: cannot "Cancel all"

It's more a missing feature than a bug, however I just reopened iPhoto after months, just to try out the new version (I'm a Lightroom user).
Long time ago I exported an album to take a look of the software and explore its features. After months those copies have been deleted: they were just a test.
I opened the event and clicked on slideshow. I didn't remember the source photos were missing.
The alert dialog show two buttons: 1) find folder... and 2) cancel.
However, it's missing a "Cancel all", or "skip/ignore/whatever" button to come back to iPhoto. I had to press the Cancel button more than 200 times! It's just plain silly, isn't it?
Is it possible to fix that in a future upgrade?
Best regards,
Paolo

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Your posts tells me that you're running a "referenced" library. That's one of the problems with that. If you don't carefully manage the source files iPhoto just won't work.
You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
A force quit probably would have saved you 200 cancels I think.

CS5 Bug - "Can't find font library"

I just downloaded thenew Photoshop CS5 and noticed two things in the first four minutes. My initial impression is that the new tools palette is VERY hard to read. All the tools look the same and I find them very hard to differentiate. I have been working in PS since it came out in the mid-90's so why change the tools look now? It is certainly not an improvement.
Then I went to use my Text tool and got an error that PS could not locate any fonts.
Work the bugs out boys.

I too have a problem with Photoshop CS5's type tool. Mines different though, I can open Photoshop, but each time I select the type tool or a type related palette and sometimes the HDR tool, my photoshop simple crashes, asks me to reopen and eventually brings up a crash report.
I have requested support via the support service, only for my request to be withdrawn, after one unsuccessful suggestion and then logging in to find it withdrawn after not receiving an email, with a reply saying my graphics card is not supported.
My question is, if my graphics card is not supported, why suggest that I delete my pref file and recreate it by opening photoshop?
My other question is, why is the graphics card a MacBook Pro, that is only just over a year old and that cost me nearly £3500 not supported by PS CS5? Makes no sense, do you expect people to buy new hardware just to run CS5?
To adhere to your request to the other user, here is my system and a description.
MacBook Pro 17" (Purchased March 2009, brand new and customised)
Mac OS Snow Leopard (Up-to-date)
8GB RAM
NVIDEA GeForce 9400 GT and NVIDEA GeForce (9400M)
Student/Teacher copy of Design Premium CS5
Open Photoshop CS5, select the type tool, photoshop CS5 crashes. Thats all I do, is that enough information for you?
Please help as I am not happy with the software or the manner in which my support request was dealt with after the first attempt to fix the problem.
Kind Regards
Paul Goodman
ps. I think the Adobe staff need to be more open minded with their customers, we aren't all computer genius'. I personal think that because Adobe have cornered the market, that they are becoming complacent. If you know the software hasn't been tested enough on Macs, then don't release it until it is ready.

CS5: Bug when exporting directly from PPro with hardware MPE?

For the record, I'm using:
A GTX-480 (unsupported)
The hardware MPE-enabling hack (unsupported)
The latest version of the nVidia drivers (257.whatever)
I discovered an issue, of sorts, when exporting directly from Premiere CS5, versus using the "Queue" option to send to AME. I was exporting from an NTSC DV Standard sequence to a 320x240 H.264, in which I had enable cropping and trimmed a bit off the sides and top and bottom of the source; the Output tab was summarily set to "Scale to Fit". With hardware MPE enabled in the Project Settings, the export would be the proper final dimensions (320x240), but any area that was cropped off was instead padded with black. The actual video content was then squeezed and malformed into the area not occupied by the black bars.
I found that, if I disabled hardware MPE or sent the export through AME by use of the Queue button (instead of Export), then the export was performed properly--the video was cropped correctly and then the video stretched to the borders of the exported video, maintaining the desired aspect ratio.
As I mentioned at the outset, I'm breaking a couple rules and perhaps tempting fate with others, but before I go about rolling back my drivers and the like, has anyone noticed a similar issue?
ADDENDUM: By the way, the export doesn't need to come from a sequence. If I load up a source clip into the Source Monitor, and export from there using the process outlined above, I get the same issue. This would seem to indicate, to me, that this is due to some incompatibility with my card, its driver and hardware MPE...

Did he demo renders or exports?
About 11 minutes in, he [Dave] demos accelerated H.264 renders.
Harm Millaard wrote:
AFAIK MPE only works with renders, not with encoding.
Well, he did both, actually--but the quote above is a typo on my part. I meant to say "exports" or "encodes." The last couple minutes of the aforementioned demo video are dedicated to exporting a sequence directly from Premiere, and having the benefit of hardware MPE. That's where I'm getting the issue I've outlined above; with hardware MPE enabled, and using the "Export" versus AME "Queue" button/function, I get the strange black outline. With software MPE or through AME, all is well.

After R12 clone, Source SID appears in users' personal homepage

Hi, After cloning an R12.1.3 instance, users logging into the Target instance see the name of the Source instance in the banner of their personal homepage. How can this be rectified? Apps dba's have run all standard cloning processes (in Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone [ID 406982.1]). Verified Source SID does not appear in Target context files, additional autoconfig run in Target - still getting Source instance name.
Thanks for any thoughts

Hi Helios, I should have mentioned, that the profile option "Site Name" was already set to the Target environment name. That sets the name correctly in the Forms headers. But it does not affect the name in the banner of the users' personal home page (a html page, not forms). So the problem is still there.What page you are referring to? Could you upload a screenshot?

Premiere Pro CS5.5 corrupting source videos?

A bit of an odd occurence with my CS5.5 (trial) installation: It seems to be corrupting videos slightly enough that it can no longer read them, resulting in a "Media Offline" error message when reopening the project. The video files are still there, but will not play back in the Source Monitor. However, they will play in VLC Media Player, though it picks up that the .AVI file is broken and needs to be repaired for playback, and it does.
If I copy the files again from my SD card and repoint the project to them, they will load. However, they will simply be broken again upon restart of the program.
If it matters, the video files are 720p 25fps videos from my Pentax K-r.
