CS5 to CS2 Save As

I have a file created in CS2 from work.
I need to work on it at home with CS5.
I see when you save as your given the option to change the version you would like the file to be saved to.
I have never done this...does this in fact work?
I would hate to spend the evening working and then not being able to open the file tomorrow at the office.
Thanks for the insight!

Yes it works.
However, if you use new features whcih are not supported in oder versions, objects may be expanded/flattened to allow the older verison to open the file.

Indesign CS5 won't Save or Save as..

I have recently installed Mac OSX 10.6.3 (snow_leopard) onto my iMac and now for some reason Indesign CS5 will not save or save as.
It allows me to selecteither of them in the menu but nothing happens at all. If i try to close the document after making changes it just closes without asking if i want to save and i lose all the changes.
I have also gone to the extent of doing a clean installation of the OS & CS5 with no difference whatsoever.
Any ideas would be extremely helpful..
Thanks

go back to Replace Your Preferences to get the paths to the folders in your user library, then try moving the entire folders to the desktop and restart ID.
If it's still not working, John Hawkinson has mentioned some other files that seem to be involved when it works in one user and not another, but you'd have to do a search here as I don't know the names and locations for all of them (I'm on Windows). I think he's suggested these at least twice in the last month or so, so they should come up.

My adobe photoshop extended CS5 won't save as, what should i do?

my adobe photoshop extended CS5 won't save as, what should i do?

Ditto issue, netbook NB200 Toshiba, trying the higher resolution. It is inconceivable to me that a firm of Adobe's reputation would automatically shut-out a very large section of the market place!
Also, it is a surprise with the hundred's of thousands of programs out there in the world that work just fine on netbooks, that they would not Highlight this issue on the download/purchase page (not hidden in technical specs page); and would also not have an installer that "warns" the user of the deficiency in their system at the beginning - with a clear description of what will/won't work!; Especially when upgrading in good faith from a system upon which it does work:(
In this instance, I was able to adjust the Monitor resoltion to 780 vertical (thank goodness it's available on the NB200 system) - and yes it does work...
I would never had realized this if the google'd search did not come up with this forum. What would have happened if I was travelling without internet connection as a photographer/videographer - which is quite often.
Thanks to the forum for the answer/problem/issue!:)

CS5 Won't Save All Rendered Media

Working on CS5 - I have produced and saved several projects w/ no issue, but have one that CS5 will not save the rendered media - or should I say some of the rendered media - am I missing a setting somewhere?
Any help would be appreciated.

To get this out of the way quickly, do you have any external HDD's, or networked drives involved?
Good luck,

Backwards compatibility cs5 to cs2

I need to supply a sign manufacturer an Illustrator file for version cs2 but I run cs5. I can't find the export to cs2, cs3 etc in the save as or export menu items. We used to have one that could export to older versions (or am I thinking longingly of Freehand). Has that gone? How do I get backwards compatibility?

At the top of the second Save dialog is a dropdown to choose the earlier versions of AI

Illustrator CS5: Slow to save documents

Hi! I'm Christ, new to Adobe forums!
We have someone using Illustrator CS5, and working with file from 10mb to 500mb, most of the time. The problem is that, when you open, okay it's slow since it's a file over the network (400mb), but when you save it, network or not, it is VERY but VERY slow. I mean, you click on save, then save the file, then Illustrator does the program not responding, then you wait, about 15s, and the little window that show the progress comes up. You wait after this progress bar for like 30-40s. It does the same thing, kind same time, for a 100mb file.
One of my friend told me he has the same problem, but he never had that problem with CS2 illustrator.
Our computer:
Intel E8400 3ghz
4gb of RAM
HDD 160gb 7200rpm
Windows XP SP3 up to date (we did try on the same machine, but with a windows 7, same problem)
Friend computer:
AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9ghz
4gb of RAM
HDD 500gb 7200rpm
Windows XP SP3 up to date (Does on 2 computer with same spec) (on CS2, was not that long, with a AMD Athlon X2 4200+, and 3gb of ram)
Any help is appreciated!
Many Thanks
Christ

It works.
I tried it, and it is much faster.
Many thanks!
Christian

Flash CS5 doesn't save advanced color effects on symbols

In CS4 I'm used to inverting instances of my symbols by using a color effect:
Style: Advanced
Red: -100% xR +255
Green: -100% xG +255
Blue: -100% xB +255
However, everytime I save these settings in a CS5 file, upon opening the settings have changed to:
Red: 0% xR +255
Green: 0% xG +255
Blue: 0% xB +255
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm on mac OSX with the 10.0.2 update installed.

Had a couple students encounter the same issue.
They had complex animations of graphic forms made from overlapping white and black pieces. Setting the blending mode to multiply allowed them to overlap the animation on top of imagery. Alternately some people needed to invert the black to white and blendmode:screen it onto darker textures and colors.
This is easily accomplished through advanced color effect by multiplying everything by -100% and then offsetting by 255.
Unfortunately these values aren't saved...
You can use some code to do it, but this will get in the way of any timeline tweening. Our workaround was to drop any secondary animations of the graphic animation in a container and use code to modify _that_ clip.
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
var ct = new ColorTransform();
ct.redMultiplier = -1;
ct.greenMultiplier = -1;
ct.blueMultiplier = -1;
ct.redOffset = 255;
ct.greenOffset = 255;
ct.blueOffset = 255;
myClip.transform.colorTransform = ct;
There might be another way around this that I missed, but it's a bummer that user entered values with observable and useful results aren't saved.

Upgrade install problem Photoshop CS5 from CS2, MacOS 10.6.8

Hello,
My wife was using Adobe Photoshop CS2 for a long time. We purchased a Photoshop CS5 upgrade in 2010 through Amazon, but she never installed it after reading about problems other people had with the upgrade. It was still in its shrink wrap seal until last night.
Then she recently went to upgrade her Mac laptop to 10.9 Mavericks from 10.6 Snow Leopard, and discovered that Photoshop CS2 will no longer work since CS2 was a PowerPC application. No problem - we thought we'd just finally install that CS5 upgrade first. The Amazon web page where we bought the product stated that this was a valid upgrade path, so we thought we would not have a problem. However, when we went to do the install, we received an "Inconsistency in the installer database" error.
Going to the support live chat, we were told by Yaseer that we could no longer upgrade from CS2 to CS5 because the CS2 "server" was shut down, and we should go to the forums for help with this instead.
Now what? We own a legal copy of PS CS2, and bought a legal upgrade copy of PS CS5 with the understanding that this was a legal upgrade path, purchased from a reputable dealer (Amazon), but now it doesn't work. There must be something that can be done here.
I'm not using my wife's Adobe id which she used to register her product, but I can provide that id as well as the serial numbers for CS2 and the CS5 upgrade.

run the cleaner, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
restart your computer
then try to install cs5.
if you're prompted for a cs2 serial number and your cs2 number fails, use the one linked from this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l

Illustrator CS5 won't save as PDF

My first post.
Running AI CS5.5. All of a sudden, when I "save as" to a pdf file, the pdf content is not saved. Instead, when the file is opened, the actual document says "This is an Adobe Illustrator file that was saved without PDF Content. To place or open the file in other applications, it should be resaved from AI with the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog bos, which appers when saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the Save As command."
I understand what these directions are saying, and I can do it that way, but the file cannot be opened by someone without AI.
This used to work so easily! Save As, choose pdf in the drop down, it adds .pdf to the file name, done!
Can anyone tell me what made this change? Two days ago it worked fine, and I didn't change anything (knowingly).

Oh, probably just a distiller hiccup. Glad to hear it works now. I have had my share of Adobe background processes problems, too, and I wouldn't have thought to reboot right away either. Make sure to mark this question 'answered' when you get a chance.

Adobe CS5 Applications open/save dialog boxes size always resets

So, since the Mountain Lion update, all of my Adobe CS5 save/open window dialog boxes reset their size each time. In my case they are too small, causing me to have to enlarge the window out every time, to be able to see file names/locations etc.
Not a massive issue, but rather annoying when I think of the time I'm wasting resizing windows hundreds of times a day, especially as this never used to happen.
Is this an Adobe issue?
Can anyone using Adobe CS6 on Mountain Lion tell me if they experience this too?
Anyone on using Adobe CS5 on OSX-10.8.2 experienced this too, any suggestions?

I came here looking for this very same help. It is driving me crazy. It happened when I recently updated to Mountain Lion. It has to be a Mountain Lion problem, as I'm using the very same Adobe products that I've used for years and it never occurred before.
I'm also having the problem with Mountain Lion resizing my coverflow finder windows every time I open them. Also completely annoying.
How do I get the windows (saving and coverflow) to stay in the same position as I last had them versus resetting to some default position every time I open them or click on a new file? Very annoying.

CS5 Photoshop - Adobe Save for Web & Devices Error

Hi folks,
I know similar threads exists, but this one is different. For some reason, out of the blue, I can't use 'Save for Web' anymore. When I choose 'save for web', it opens the preview dialog nicely, up until I save & get this error:
"Adobe Save for Web & Devices Error
Could not complete this operation. An unknown operating system error has occurred."
Cleared all my settings, and the error remains.
I uninstalled PS CS5, installed it again... still get this error.
Hope someone knows how to fix it!
Tx!
MacBookPro3,1, running all the latest updates (OSX 10.6.4), CS5 Master Collection.
Luckily still have CS4 Master Collection installed (and Flash CS3).
(I've just got to get this off my chest, CS5 has so much issues that I stopped using it, I'm not getting paid for playing crashtestdummie. Please don't rush any future CS collections and try fixing bugs instead. )

Hi Wade,
Tx, but 99% of my time, I work on my local system (scratch disk also). Already had problems working with the company's network (files get locked or corrupted while trying to save), so we've learned the hard way not to use the network.
I guess that's somewhat expected if you work with a Mac, in a professional Windows environment.
Meanwhile, I'm a step closer in finding a solution myself. A colleague gave me a great tip, if you create an extra user account on the system, you start with a clean library. On my second account, PS CS5 is working just fine. So clearly, something went wrong in my library. Maybe permissions like you've said. At this point, I could try to fix it by copying files from the one user to the other. But I would like to wait for that connect session so they can see what's wrong.

InDesign CS5 won't save rotated views as PDF

I'm using InDesign CS5 to create a calendar. I am using rotated view for the spreads. I have page 4-27 I want to send to my client for proofing. I only want the "smallest File" for screen viewing ioption. I've never had a problem creating PDFs. This is the first time using viewer spreads rotated. Wondering if this is creating the problem.
The background task panel has been stuck at 42% for over an hour. InD won't let me quit the save. It won't allow me to close the project window, or Force quit the program.
Assistance needed!!!

Thank you for your reply. I did know about the rotated view not transating in the PDF. I was wondering though if it affected the speed of the PDF creating...undoing the rotation.
I was under a time crunch to send off a proof, so after finally force quitting ID, I saved each spread as a separate PDF and then compiled them into a multi-page PDF. It all went without a hiccup. Possibly if I had restarted my computer, opened ID and prepared the multi-pg PDF at that point, as suggested below, then it may have worked. I will be trying that at some point as I will have more comps to prepare as the project proceeds.
Thank you.

Lightroom 3: Edit in Photoshop CS5 no longer saves a copy as TIFF for editing

Hi,
I have Lightroom 3 (LR3) and Photoshop CS5 (non Extended) and Snow Leopard on OSX. Both LR3 and CS5 are filly updated. CS5 updated with Camera Raw 6.1.
On one day, when I tell LR3 to "Edit in Photoshop" it would save a copy of the NEF with current LR3 settings as a TIFF and I can edit it in Photoshop as a TIFF. I would see a progress indicator in LR3 that show it saving a copy as a TIFF.
The next day, this stopped working. It goes directly to Photoshop and opens the NEF itself. It's is completely ignoring the LR3 settings in External Handling tab.
Strangely, when I "save" this NEF in Photoshop, a TIFF is created back in LR3. That threw me off completely from LR2.7
Has anybody encountered this? Does LR3 skip telling you if you want to save as TIFF now if you have the latest LR and CS?
Thank you.

What you describe as abnormal is how things are supposed to work:
If the RAW engines match (where LR3 and ACR 6.1 do), then LR just tells PS what the "conversion recipe" is and PS tells ACR to silently open it with that "recipe" so it doesn't have to be rendered to TIF or PSD on the way into PS.
If the RAW engine of PS (ACR's version) is too odl to understand all the LR adjustments then LR knows this and will render to an intermediate file on the way into PS. This also happens if you use some other third-party photo-editor that can't use ACR to open the file.
On Windows, at least, there is a way to make LR render to TIF/PSD on the way into Photoshop, I fyou create a duplicate copy of the EXE and rename it to PhotoshopX.exe or some other name that LR doesn't recognize as Photoshop, then LR thinks it is a third-party editor and renders an intermediate file.
What might have happened is that you updated to ACR 6.1 or maybe PS 12.0.1 which caused LR to re-evaluate the Photoshop compatibility and it determined it was fully compatible and didn't render to an intermediate file on the way in.
Since Photoshop is a bitmap editor, it has to save as something other than the RAW file on the way out, and LR will see that Save occur and import it automatically.
Does that all make sense?

Intel OS 10.5 Illustrator CS5 crash during "save as" file replacement on network volume

I am running a recently reinstalled copy of CS5 on a os 10.5 Intel Mac pro as part of the CS5 design Premium edition. Every time I try to save over a file on a 10.5 fileserver as a "save as" to replace an exsisting document on the server, it crashes Illistrator. Hard. I get the spinning ball and have to force quit the application. This action tends to cause a volume bit map error on the hard drive. I have swapped the drive for a new one and the result is the same so I know it is not a failing hard drive. I have come accross a similiar issue on the forum and have yanked the pref file mentioned in the post, but no luck so far. If anyone has an idea, I am all ears. Thanks.

Adobe has always stated that saving to and opening from a networked file server is not supported.
There are litterally thousands of configurations out there and it's not feasible for Adobe to test every single one of them.
If you save the file to a local drive do you have problems?

Suddenly my PS CS5 defaulted its "Save As" to JPEG2000, how do I restore it back to "Save As" JPEG?

I got a new computer (Windows 7) at work this April and as of today, when I work on any of my JPEG images in PS CS5, suddenly it has defaulted its "Save As" to JPEG2000. How did this default change and how do I get it to default save as. JPEG again? There was nothing I noticed and no warning as to why this has changed, I didn't touch a thing!
(Last week, Adobe had to work with our IT manager to fix a problem that started occuring with my new Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 program. They had to log into my computer and change a registry thing to get it to work properly again...also something that changed without warning!!)

Thank you Curt Y, as I saw your post reply come through, I had just hung up with Adobe support (after being on the phone for an hour & a half).
To be clear...prior to today, if I opened a JPG file, and did an immediate "save/save as", it would automatically re-save as a JPG file but it seemed to suddenly be defaulting to a "save/save as" JPEG2000.
They claimed that yes, there was a fix for this and while I was on hold she had me follow a few directions which DID fix the issue. While we were on the phone she was able to have me restore it to at least a default "save/save as" for a PSD file rather than a JPEG2000, which is better than nothing and she was about to help me get the default set so that when I open a JPG it would automatically default to "save/save as" a JPG, but she couldn't get it that to work. After she logged on to my computer to physically do it herself and failed to fix it further, she thinks my security permissions (we are on a network) are not set properly and she wanted to create a new user account with the proper permissions but we were halted because our IT guy is not in right now.
She gave me a case# and when he returns tomorrow, we are to try her list of instructions starting with creating a new (PS CS5 user account) then if that does not restore the "save as" defaults we are to uninstall, then re-install PS. If this still does not work we are to call her back and they will try to fix it from there. She did tell me that in my version of PS (CS5), she was able to open a JPG (on her end), then hit save as, and it defaults to saving as a JPG, not a PSD as is happening to me.
Before I posted here, I did do an iternet search to find out how to set the defaults, however I too found that everyone says there is no such default of a "save as" JPG...but Adobe claims otherwise. We shall see what happens tomorrow...
