CS5 - Recolor artwork not working?

I have a file with a number of artboards on which there are objetcs filled with 100% Magenta and some with 100% Magenta and 0,34% Yellow. I want to get rid of that 0,34% but Illy is refusing to cooperate.
Even selecting just two or three objects and trying to recolor using the Edit/Edit colors/Recolor Artwork dialog has no effect. I can change the color manually though, for one or more selected objects.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for looking into this, Mike.
Document color mode is CMYK.
I've tried it with your example, and for me recolor only works for a Y value of at least 0,58%. If I choose any value below that and there is no change.
What is very odd is that the cutoff point changes depending on what color you are trying to change. In the example below, with 100% magenta, the magical value seems to be 0,56%. Anything below that does not get recolored.
It gets even more bizarre: a few examples
If I try to change C0,55 M100 Y0,55 K0 into C0 M100 Y0 K0 nothing happens.
Trying to change C0,55 M100 Y0,55 K0,55 into C0 M100 Y0 K0 works perfectly.
But trying to change C0,55 M100 Y0,55 K0,25 into C0 M100 Y0 K0 results in C0 M100 Y0 K0,25!
What on earth is going on?

My Adobe Flash CS5.5 did not work while it is opening a .fla with big size

This is a very serious trouble...
I have a .fla with 101MB.
I always use this file and there is no problem on opening this file before.
This morning , I found that while I am opening the file, Flash did not work. It said Adobe Flash CS5.5 stop running <--- (I forgot what is the whole message)
I have used my computer for only 1 and a half year only, my I think I have enough RAM and memory to run my Flash CS5.5 , but this problem did not appear before and appear in this morning
Can somebody tell me what the problem is? Thank you.
P.S. here is some information of my computer
CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz
RAM : 4.00GB (3.18GB available)
System type: 64-bit

Set the library as "merge into code" and the problem doesn't happen.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Dynamic Link not working as part of Production Premium CS5

I ran into a situation whereby I recently reinstalled my Production Premium CS 5 onto a new computer and when trying to run the Dynamic Link out of Premiere PRO CS 5 to create a new After Effects composition, After Effects tried to start up but then crashed with the error that Production Premium was needed.
Yet, I had Production Premium CS5.
(Note: The crash didn't occur when I simply tried to use Dynamic Link without anything selected in my project or timeline - but the moment I had a clip in my timeline selected to work on it, the dynamic link would not work as covered above.)
In checking around the forums I found various answers to this problem such as rebooting the computer, reformatting hard drives and/or whatever. This all may be correct.
However, as I just went through that nightmare, I was not anxious to do that again. So, I called Adobe and the following solution solved the matter in 5 minutes:
1. Close all your other Adobe applications such as After Effects.
2. Open up Premiere Pro CS5 and then deactivate it by going to HELP>DEACTIVATE and then Permanently Deactivate.
3.Close the application and restart Premiere Pro CS5.
4.Then do the same to Activate it.
5. Have your serial number handy and plug it in when prompted.
Solved it right away and worked beautifully.
Not to say there couldn't be more complicated situations, but the above worked and the simpler the better is good for me. And I thought I would post this in case anyone else ran into this problem.

Thanks for posting your solution.

Trying to do 6.3 raw update for CS5 through Bridge not working

Been trying to update 6.3 raw for CS5 through Bridge and a pop up window says I am not the administrator for my computer. I sign in as the admin still does not work. I have tried installing in manual mode no luck either.

If you are working on Windows OS, then try to run the patch executable in Admin mode using "RunAsAdministrator" option in the right click context menu.

Flash CS5 code hinting not working?

Just installed the new Flash CS5 trial and code hinting doesn't appear to be working! I have added all my custom class paths in to the AS3 source paths, but I don't get any code hinting for any of these just the same old code hinting you get in CS4. Am I doing something wrong or does it just not work?
UPDATE: If it helps, in the code editor i get a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in, in the bottom right hand corner. When I have over this it advises me:
" *** Unable to build code hint cache. Please save the associated FLA into a different folder. There are too many files on the classpath. *** "
This error message appears no matter what FLA/Class i open, and moving it makes no difference.
UPDATE: Problem solved, the "There are too many files on the classpath" was the clue! Slimmed down my library and all seems to work now.
However, this does bring me on to another question.. does anyone know how many class files flash can comfortably cache? I use some fairly chunky libraries in my work and am wondering if i'm going to find myself constantly slimming them down after a while?

The reason everyone gives for AS3 is that AS2 was buggy.
I don't think so. AS3 is a better language, better designed, more consistent, more powerful. I would switch to AS3 for that, not because of bugs - but I don't know what's the reason behind everyone's choice.
AS2 was not buggy, people were writing buggy scripts
AS2 was buggy. Maybe people were writing buggy scripts too, but believe me it was buggy. However AS3 is at the very least equally buggy. It is better designed, more consistent, but equally buggy in its implementation.
All software have bugs, but programming languages usually undergo a stricter and more thorough revision than other kinds of sofware because the consequences of bugs in a programming language are more disastrous.
But that's not the case of ActionScript. Maybe because of its history and its legacy, or maybe because Adobe was always dedicated to completely different kinds of software, like PhotoShop, Premiere and the like, and suddenly dove into the business of developing a programming language without having the know-how.
The level of bugginess of ActionScript is amazing. I work with actionscript daily and there's no day that I don't run 4 ot 5 times into some problem due to some bug. Not that I discover new bugs every day, just run into them - sometimes they are already reported, other times they are not.
Why should something that took one line of code (clicking on a movieClip
to move to a frame) now take 5 or more lines of code (creating a
listener object, assigning a listener object, writing a function).
It often happens that a language that is in the overall more elegant, consistent and compact, turns out to need a bit more of code for doing the simplest things. Maybe what could be done with 1 line of code now takes 5, but things that took 1000 lines of cumbersome awkward tricky and hacky code can now be done with just 100 of readable and simple-to-understand code.
When I first learned Java I was surprised at the quantity of code I had to write just to make a program that would print "hello world", while in most dialects of Basic it was just:
10 PRINT "Hello world"
Would you say Basic is superior to Java in any sense?
I teach Flash at a university, both beginner and advanced users. [...]
I'll stick to AS2 in my classes.
You should think about the damage you may be doing to your students. If they are going to use ActionScript professionally, they'll have to learn AS3, rather sooner than later. So why not save them the pain to do the effort twice? If instead you are teaching them AS just for didactic purposes (i.e. for learning programming in general) and don't care about practical applications and you don't like the way AS has evolved (i.e. AS3), then consider teaching them another language, instead of an obsolete version of a current one.
AS3 is not more complicated, or difficult to learn, or less designer-friendly or non-programmer-friendly than AS2. Not at all; rather the opposite. It is more complicated and difficult to learn when you already know AS2, because you feel like everything you knew is useless - but the same can be said about learning AS2 when you already know AS3. Starting from scratch, AS3 is indeed simpler.
But this have drifted OT, sorry. Back to the topic:
It's not an app killer, just a minor inconvenience
It's a major inconvenience if writing the same amount of code takes you three times the time it should take. That in 2010 you have to spell every single property/method/class name entirely from the first to the last letter, when most of the time it should be just a matter of typing a couple of characters and hit tab, is simply ridiculous. You may as well write your code with NotePad. Flash is (among other things) an IDE - something Adobe seemed to neglect up to recently; and when they finally decided to take a step into making it work like any other decent IDE, it does not work!!
There are bigger things to complain about.
On this you are definitely right.
Using their pretty remarkable products (where would we be without PS or
DW?) is not a right, it's a (sometimes frustrating) privilege.
It's a privilege you pay for. That's when it becomes a right.
So Adobe mods, we're frustrated but only because we're all loyal users who depend on your products
(emphasis is mine)
Exactly. That's the point.
Note there's been no helpful answer from them yet: that's how much they care about loyal users who depend on their products.

Audition CS5.5 is not working well with Microsoft Mouse "smooth scrolling" feature

Hi,
I'm testing with the Audition CS5.5 and found that the mouse scrolling (I use it mainly for zoom, zooming in and out to see the waveform) is just not working well and sluggish, and finally I figured out it somewhat related to the "smooth scrolling" of Microsoft Mouse. Anyone with the same problem? In fact the scrolling is working very well for Audition 3.0.1, I don't know why it fail for CS5.5.
Best regards,
Steve

The trial version is the same as the full version except
for the 30 day limitation.
I think on windows xp you need sp3 for cs5 to work as expected.
Anyway that's what is says here:

That may not be the problem, but it's a good place to start.
Also it's not a good idea to post your email on the forums.

Photoshop CS5 Move Tool Not Working?

Please help. I am using Photoshop CS5 and my Move tool is not working. I just don't know what to do. I am making photobooks with a software plug-in, "Album DS", and for the last couple of months everything worked perfectly. Then, all of sudden, when I load up photos onto an album page, with the Move tool, I no longer get the crop markings around the photos to enlarge, decrease, or even move the photos. I have tried using the Move tool without the software and it still does not work.

I just figured this out 5 minutes ago, by mistake I might add. How in the world did you know this? Thanks.

Serial number of CS5.5 is not working for acrobat pro!

Hi,
I installed the whole CS5.5 Master Collection on my MacBook Pro, typed in my serial number and everything was fine. But when I opened Acobat Pro the Application Manager asked again for the serial number. When I typed it in it was wrong. Every Adobe program is running whithout a problem, only Acrobat is not working.
What can I do?

Did you download or install Acrobat X separately? You cannot, you must use the CS installer.

CS5 site setup not working

I recently installed the CS5 version of Dreamweaver. When the program starts, I click on "dreamweaver site..." and the site setup dialog box pops up. "Unnamed site 2" is high lighted in blue. The only thing I can click is the folder Icon, help, save, and cancel icons. Nothing else works. I cannot click on Advanced Settings, Servers or Version Control. Does anybody know whats going on and how to fix this?

I am also having the same problem. If I persist on clicking 'Advanced Settings' it will sometimes open but then I am unable to click on the 'Default Images folder' option and the 'Browse Folders' icon does not work. I can also not get to the other options with the mouse, such as 'Local Info', Cloaking' etc.As the previous person said, using the Tab and Cursor keys does work, but the mouse does not.It is only in Dreamweaver CS5 that I am having this problem.
I too have a new Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet, just in case that could have anything to do with it.
Running Windows 7 64bit with CS5 and all updates completed for everything including the Logitech mouse.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Cs5 Healing Brush not working @ 32bit channel on openExr format

Hi..
Cs5 Healing Brush not supporting 32bit workflow.. if i want to work on hdr 32bit EXR, the Healing brush not supporting at all. if i want to work i ve to convert them into 16bit.. why its like.. that..? if i convert 32->16->32 is it possible any color loss.?. can any one explain technically ...
in cs5 if i try to change 16bit its asking hdri tone maping.. how could skip this process. i just want to convert 16bit and few touch-ups with healing brush. and i want to revert to 32bit. this convertion process causes any color info..
i want to keep my data in to 32float itself. and i want to use healing brush..
Thanks
panner

can any one explain technically ...
Because the author of the healing brush code hasn't updated it (or related tools) to work in 32 bit/channel yet.
(and the person who wrote most of the 32 bit support code couldn't untangle that code to get it working himself)

Illustrator CS5 Recolor Artwork question

I was passed down a file of a old logo from a friend in .ai format. He wants me to change the colors from Red to Blue. Seems pretty easy, but it has 2082 colors in it!!!
I am a fairly novice user and wondered if someone could help me with an easier way to accomplish this without losing the details of the gradients this logo has.
I have atteched a image of the Recolor Artwork screen in edit mode that shows the color wheel.
Is there any way to just rotate the entire wheel thus moving all colors at once?
What is the best way to accomplish this color change?
Thanks in advance for anyones help.

Click on the link-icon to connect all colors. Then move them together by dragging one of them. You might want to read in the manual (press F1). You might want to reduce the number of colors, which is also possbile with "Recolor art"

Dreamweaver CS5 ftp does not work after my host server was updated

I'm on an iMac running Mavericks.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS 5.5 from the creative suite.
Suddenly the FTP function in Dreamweaver does not work.
My website host stated that they were forced to upgrade their server software for FTP and the Dreamweaver was not compatible.
Will there be an upgrade soon to resolve the problem? I'm having to use Filezilla to upload/download files from my site and it's a real pain compared to just using Dreamweaver.
Please help ASAP! Thanks.
Marcus

DWCS5.5 hasn't received an update in years and is no longer supported by Adobe. The chances of there being an update for any new compatibility issue is pretty much slim to none.
If (and it's a big if) your hosting company actually did something that made DW itself incompatible with the server, you would just have to use some other FTP program, like the free Filezilla client, to do your uploads.
Not a big deal, just a small extra step.
