CS6 "Combine" button gone

Pre-CS6 there was a "Combine" button when you used the Path Selection Tool (A) to select multiple shapes within the same layer.
How does one accomplish said action now that the combine button is gone? Merging two layers has not got the same effect.
Please tell me I'm not going to have to go back to CS5 to use this feature
Cheers,
- Dirk

And guess what »photoshop_reference.pdf« states on p.469?
Merge overlapping path components
1. Select the path name in the Paths panel, and select the Path Selection tool .
2. Click Combine in the options bar to create a single component from all overlapping components.
Merging the documentation for CS5 and CS6 seems to have been poor decision …

It does not actually say "Buy." You just click on the price.

Where has the visualizer button gone?

where has the visualizer button gone in the bottom right corner?
bit of a pain as i used it quite often

iTunes 7 is pretty smart overall, nevertheless I have a few serious gripes with the interface. Firstly the little 'snowflake' icon on the bottom right that switches on the visuals has been replaced by the browse and burn icons. Was there a problem with the previous layout? My wife and I use that button everytime we turn on the visuals on our Mac Mini sound system in the living room. It was super convenient because you could move in a single mouse sweep from selecting a playlist to switching on visuals. With iTunes 7 you have to either select from the pop-down menu or switch to the keyboard and press cmd+T. It might not seem such a big deal to some but it's definitely a backwards step, no matter how small.
The album art selector/display is very cool and niftily programmed however I'll never use it. The reason? Because if you fill it with album artwork, all those images are displayed over the visualiser at the start of each tune, which I HATE. I don't want sleeve designs ruining the beauty of G-Force which I paid good money to see. It's bad enough having the track info show when I already know what's playing! iTunes 7 is simply not configurable enough if you ask me, and hey, you shouldn't have to start configuring Fkeys to make up for the fundemental lack of choice in the program preferences.
I have a pal who loves the gapless playback in the new iTunes 7 because it's great for mix cds. Well maybe that's the best playback feature of iTunes 7 but I'm afraid it doesn't make up for the loss of the visualiser button, so there!

Encore CS6 Timeline Button Endpoint Error

Adobe has succeeded in making the burning of a project DVD as impossible as possible.
WIn 7 Pro 64 Bit
I downloaded the previous version of Premiere Pro (PP) 6 and installed it to get Encore. Then I had to uninstall Premiere Pro 6 because it was crashing my rip in PP CC. I download and install the functional content for Encore 6 (EN6).
I open my project in PP CC. I built my project fully in one timeline in PP CC. It has hundreds of images, video clips, voice overs and music. I added 8 Chapter Markers to my one timeline and named them appropriately. I exported a DVD Mpeg2 video and audio to my DVD Folder. I took a screen capture and exported it to PS CS6 and made it a PSD.
I brought everything into EN6 and began building my menus. I have one video file and audio file in the EN 6 timeline with 11 chapter markers for the entire 27 minute film. I only want to put 8 on the menu. I create Poster Frames and assign them to the chapters in the timeline. I brought in my psd and set it as the background of the menu. I chose the Film Video Button from the buttons panel and dragged it on the screen. I duped the button until I had 8 for each of my 8 scenes that are within one timeline. I name each button appropriately and associate each button with the right scene and go to the flowchart.
In the flowchart panel all my scenes show up below the main menu Thumbnail and they are all named correctly and start the correct scene when clicked. However the individual scene thumbs can only be associated with one end point and they all have the same name. Whatever name I type into the Timeline name field becomes the name for every scene thumb. In this case they are all named "1". I only get to associate one thumbnail out of the entire set of 8 thumbs to an Endpoint and every other Thumb receives the same Endpoint I suppose its ok because I want them all to go back to the menu at end.
So Adobe Tech support says this is a workflow issue, but can't identify where the problem in my workflow is. There is no resource they can find for me online and I cannot find anything relevant to the issue. So he advised me go to where the real experts are - The Forum - Pat yourselves on the back as you are all unsung heroes out there working these forums. He also had me send him my EN6 file and will get back to me in 4-7 days.
Does anyone have any idea what I have done wrong in my PPCC or EN6 workflow to create this problem?
Does anyone have any idea what kind of dope the premiere pro engineering team was smoking when they developed this fantastic way to create a DVD?

Thanks Stan - SO here is where an Adobe Tech recommended this tutorial

Hi ,
       Please find Encore Tutorial link mentioned below :
1.        Chapter 1 (Getting Sequences into Encore)
2.       Chapter 2 (Creating Menus)
3.       Chapter 3 (Buttons & Wiring up our Project)
4.       Chapter 4 (Checking & Building our Project)
5.       Chapter 5 (Creating a Web DVD)
6.       Chapter 6 (Creating Motion Menus )

8.       Chapter 8 (Creating Slide-shows Part 2)
9.       Chapter 9 (Creating Slide-shows Part 3)
But I have now solved the problem - The solution is don't use Adobe and you will be fine. I imported my H.264 into Movie Magix Edit Pro 17 and finished burning the project in 45 minutes. Trying to burn a DVD with PPCC and EN6 is as much fun as hitting yourself in the head with a ball peen hammer.

Video editing/exporting in Photoshop CS6 - original quality gone in YouTube. Idea?

Hello, i've searched this forum and other sources already, but couldn't find a solution. Unfortunately, i am not a video pro.
I record video tutorials about Photoshop (so, screen captures) and edit/combine the clips inside Photoshop CS6 in Win 7/64; Photoshop's new video talent is nice. I record 852x480px at 15 fps with FastStone Capture and save in WMV.
I want to show the finished video tutorial on Youtube. There are several things baffling me when editing video in Photoshop CS6.
My original records (according to MediaInfo):

If i upload this *original* WMV clip *without any editing* to YouTube, it looks very nice on YouTube (if you manually set the YouTube player quality to 480p). YouTube upscales the low-res clip nicely even on big screens. (I use the low screen resolution of 852x480 so that tool icons and letters in menus don't appear to small. I would love to stay with that resolution.)
But i want to combine several screen capture takes in Photoshop CS6. Inside Photoshop CS6 Extended, i get the Adobe Media Encoder (AME) and have only two format options: H.264 (MP4) and DPX (DPX only offerening resolutions between 1080 and 2048 px wide). There is no AVI or WMV or anything else offered.
So from Photoshop CS6 i export to MP4 with these specs:
MP4
Preset: High Quality (nothing "better" is offered)
Size: as original (852x480)
Framerate: as original (15 fps)
Interlacing: progressive (recommended by YouTube)
The result looks very nice when i play it locally in VLC. It looks like the original WMV.
But: When i upload the Photoshop-version to YouTube, the video looks very badly "upsampled" and blurred. It looks much worse than the uploaded WMV original.
If you like, you can compare the two videos from the same source online:
Uploaded WMV clip, looking good (set player to 480 p):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjmKohV_jmU
Rendered in Photoshop CS6, looking bad (set player to 480 p):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA0Veq9IZac
I do like the resolution of 852x480 and would like to keep it. If not possible, i have to record tutorials in 1280x720, even though icons and menus look too small. So far i have not tested it.
I searched my folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclinkmediaserver\1.0. There is a lot in it which i don't understand, but some file names include "MPEG", "AVI", "Adobe QT Server" etc. I think there is no Quicktime installed on my machine; i try to avoid it as it does many different things to the system and is obnoxious.
My questions:
- When aiming for a YouTube cast, could i stay with 852x480 (at 15 fps), or doesn't it make sense? (I like that size.) If 852x480 is not ok, what is the lowest resolution for getting good looking presentations on Youtube?
- Why does the Adobe Media Encoder in my Photoshop CS6 only offer the formats H.264 and DPX? Can i get more? (Free, pay.) Would it help?
- Do i need to install Quicktime? How could i do this with less intrusive QT behaviour?
- Should i record more fps in FastStone Capture? (I don't find more fps necessary when looking at the original and when looking at the uploaded *original*.)
- What to do?
Thanks for all suggestions!

My Canon EOS Camera can also capture 1080p Video it writes it to the memory Card as Name.MOV. I don't do video the file are huge. But you
made me want to see what CS6 video support could do to reduce the file size.
So I took one of my captured .mov files and droped it onto Photoshop the .mov file was 264,678,777 byte in size. I saw the Photoshop could render H264 .mp4 video anf that there were some presets for YouTube at 29.97 the rate my camera does for 1080p, 720p and SD 360p I also tried createin a 854x480 16:9 video 480P
These are the size file produced 480 make no sence it so close to 720 file size.

The 'close pdf' button gone in cs 5.5

hi
I have indesign cs3 files utilising the interactive buttons and are then exported to pdf. I have upgraded to cs5.5 and the 'close pdf' button I created in cs3 no longer works. On double checking the button panel, the option for 'next page, previous page, etc' is still there but the 'close' option is gone. This means the close button on every page of the 24 page documents no longer works. These files are outputed to pdf. Why has this been removed. This is the second button option removed in the cs5.5 upgarde. We lost the email to a friend option 'attached to email' in acrobat and now functions are missing in inDesign!
Beside our clients still wanting this function, there is no way you can close a full page pdf (without menu bar) unless clicking the Esc button on your keybaord. If you are on a tablet it is then really awkard

I did that with Acrobat 10. Are you using Acrobat 8 or 9? This is a quote from Acrobat 8 help:
Select the form field that you want to duplicate.
Choose Forms > Edit Fields > Duplicate.
Note: The Duplicate command isn’t available for forms with only one page.
Do one of the following:
To duplicate the form field on every page in the form, select All, and click OK.
To duplicate the form field on a limited range of pages, click the From button, and type the start and ending pages on which you want the form field to appear.
Note: Including or not including the page on which the form field originally appears doesn’t affect the duplication process. Including that page won’t create a second copy on top of the original one, and not including it won’t remove the original form field.

Indesign CS6 - Interactive Buttons - Destination links changing when opened on another computer

Hi,
I have encountered a bit of a problem with Indesign CS6.
I have a customer who has created an multi-chapter Indesign file which has interactive buttons within the each chapter in the book. These buttons are linking to each chapter. E.G., Buttons on the first page in chapter one, might link to the first page of Chapter three. This has been done by setting a destination, to the file and specifying the page number within the Interactive elements dialogue box. The client has created an interactive PDF out of this.
When I have opened the file on my side, all of the interactive destination elements have reverted to Page 1 of Chapter 1 in every single chapter (this is the first file in the book). Obviously, this means me relinking all of the locations again (there are over 2000 in the file that would need to be fixed).
Now, I am opening the file on a Windows PC in Windows 7 using CS6. However, the client has created the files on a Mac. Which could potentially be an issue maybe (I am testing this).
However, has anyone experienced this before, and is there a workaround?
James

Hi LoriAUC,
Thanks for this. Very much appreciated.
I have asked sagar-khanna from the other discussion is he knows more about the broken links etc.
Thanks again.

"Share" buttons gone.

The row of social networking share buttons that I had on my MUSE made website have disappeared. I updated some pages and uploaded them and the icons for the share buttons were gone. I went back to addthis.com and got a new line of code and added it to my website in MUSE and uploaded and it doesn't appear at all in Google Chrome. The word "Share" appears in Firefox and the bar and icons appear in Internet Explorer, but, the buttons don't work. I am copying the code and then pasting in using the "Edit HTML" dialog and it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

Thanks Brad. A friend told me it was working fine on her computer (a Mac). I still have the same issue in certain browsers (Chrome and Firefox) on my HP pc. I did open a Safari browser and it looks and works as it's supposed to. I am using Windows 7 and Google Chrome is the default browser and the share buttons do not show up. Any thoughts on why that may be happening?

Where is firefox's STOP button gone Now?!!!

firefox updated itself to version 29.0.1 This update removed some of my customized toolbar icons like ieview, and moved Home button to the far right, added some icons I removed from toolbar last time because they are useless to me, and my STOP button is gone! Where is the stop button? It's not under customize!!! I'm seriously considering Opera, or Chrome now. It's was bad enough when the "programmers" removed the ESC function so some websites now take forever to load Junk and I get ticked off after 10 seconds and have to click click Stop! But now Stop is missing too...
Un-Friggin' believable!!! >:(

It's inside URlbar , when you press F5, you will see it !
Or Reset FF : Help > Trouble > Reset
Or using Classic Theme Restorer : https://addons.mozilla.org/vi/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

Detect Display button gone!

This is a rather infuriating mess-up in Mountain Lion. My wife is an educator and has a class room projector she has to connect and disconnect to on a daily basis with her brand new Macbook Air.
The problem is that her Macbook Air will not detect the projector when she connects it.
The only way it will detect is if she either restarts the computer with the projector already connected or puts her computer to sleep and waits for to wake up and that sometimes works.
Where as in Lion or any other previous version of OSX in the past five years you had the option of a Display Menu button (also gone) up at the top of your screen that showed connected displays as well as a Detect Diplays option that would do the trick. To make things worse even if you go digging to the System preferences under Displays Preferences they completely removed the Detect Displays button!
The funny part is the Apple help menu still tells you click the Detect Displays button that doesn't exist.
How on earth do you take such a monumental step backwards with an OS upgrade by making settings more difficult than easier? Having to restart a computer to detect a display? As a Mac user I haven't had to do that in the past 10 years! Please return us all the display options that should be available under any circumstance period.

Well folks I did find a work around for the time being. Though it doesn't restore my options in the menu button I did uncover the Detect Displays button. I was looking at my post request and behold I saw a related article next to this thread that says OS X Mountain Lion: About the Display pane of System Preferences ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5369?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US ) in the article it shows that they did indeed hide the option but it can be uncovered. The funny thing is this article does not show up when I search for my problem.
Hold the OPTION key in the Display Preference pane and the Gather Windows button will transform into the Detect Displays button.
Here are screenshots to demonstrate what happens when you toggle the OPTION key off and on.
Again why on earth did they hide this to begin with or not include it in the Display Menu option at the top of the screen? I don't know and I hope they fix it. This is WAY TOO complicated of a solution for a simple function. Nobody is going to intuitively find the Detect Displays option.

CS6: new buttons in forms, some problems

For example, the new Clear Field button, a novelty in Indesign CS6, deletes the fields in all the pages of the document (a PDF)
If you are in page 5 and use this button all fields comprising pages from 1 to 4 are deleted.
How to avoid this?

Camilo,
The new forum action in InDesign CS6 you're talking about is not "Clear Field," it's Clear Form. It just invokes an Acrobat action which before you had to create in Acrobat: It doesn't delete fields. It clears any information you may have entered into the fields.
Here's what it looks like in InDesign CS6, when I give a Reset button the Clear Form action:
Here's what it looks like when I open it in Acrobat X Pro:
So if I start entering data into the fields, then want to clear those fields, I click on the Reset button, which resets the form. No fields are deleted.
