CS6 cursor misregistration with Info palette coordinates

The cursor's registration is off by about 1/2 pixel up and to the left according to the Info palette. Previous versions have been totally accurate with regard to screen registration. Here's a demo at full zoom:
I've trashed my preferences, restarted, etc. Running version 13.0.5, OS 10.6.8, iMac, 4 GB memory.

I am also having this issue. It works on my MacBook, but not my iMac. The only difference I see is that my MacBook is running 13.0 Extended, but the problem iMac is running 13.0.4 Standard. On the problem computer I have tried logging in as a new user (clean prefs) and the issue still exists. I've tried changing profiles, preview and proof settings with no difference. I've also tried different eyedropper settings (current layer, all layers, etc) with no difference. If I drag the correction layer out of the group, the readings show correctly. If I move them back INTO the group, they only show the corrected values. Very odd.

Photoshop CS6 Info Palette & Adjustment Layers

I have searched but can't find an answer to my question so I thought this may be the best place to ask.
When I am using adjustment layers in PS 13.0.3 (mountain lion), I notice that the info palette is not giving me a before and after readout of the adjustment.
e.g. I add a curves adjustment layer and remove some cyan from the highlight end, I can see on screen that cyan is removed but the info palette gives me 2 readings, both the same. This can make it difficult if I want to remove an exact amount of colour. I have the info palette is set up the same as every previous version of photoshop I have used, 1st reading actual colour, 2nd reading cmyk. I know this is a bit difficult to explain so I have included an image showing the palette, CS6 on the left and CS5 on the right, same image, same coordinates. CS5 is showing that 4% cyan has been removed, was 18% now 14%, CS6 is showing what it is now.
I work in prepress and do a lot of colour correction for books and magazines so I need to know the before & after readings. Is this a bug/feature??

I'm having this same problem as well.
Two of our macs have this problem and two do not.

CS6 Info Palette and Group Adjustment Layer Bug

The Photoshop CS6 Info Palette is not showing before and after in Grouped Adjustment Layers.
It only shows the after values on both sides of the Palette.
Has anyone seen this issue and found a way to correct it?

Is the PS CS6 Cursor Not Accurate With Pixels?

I am trying to do pixel art in Photoshop. With the settings I have adjusted, it works great except that the cursor doesn't line up with the pixels. In preferences, I have the "Normal Brush Tip" choice along with the "Show Crosshair in Brush Tip" box selected. I have changed the grid to pixels and changed the transparency grid to plain white. However, when I line my cursor up with the pixels, I may select the wrong pixel if my cursor isn't entirely lined up. It's fixable with Undo and try again, but very annoying. Is there a calibration or something I can do to fix that? Here's an example of what I'm experiencing:

Serious problem with the Info Palette

Pr CS5.5 Mac:
One minute AV clip in the timeline. At the head of the clip, Info Palette reports that Audio and Video time-code are the same; the clip is in sync. But, one minute into the clip, it's OUT OF SYNC by two frames!!! IOW, the time-code is off by two frames according to the Video 1 and Audio 1 info generated by the Info Palette.
The difference in time-codes displayed starts at the 1:00:00 mark. There is no out-of-sync indicator being displayed.
Will file bug report.

Video = non drop
Audio = drop
So... why would Pr display TC differently for TC from the same AV file? That makes no sense, unless this is a bug or behavior introduced by the camera, which I suppose is possible. Footage on this project is from a 7D.

Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

Indesign CS6 on MACs with OS 10.8 are having problems with links

Hi
Indesign CS6 on MACs with 10.8 are having problems with links. All links to other files have to be updated when opening a file although definitely nothing has changed to the linked files.
We can rule out our company's networking and the system hosting the files (HELIOS software on RedHat Linux VM). This happens with newly created Indesign files and with old ones. E.g. we create a file on Tuesday, save it and open it again on the exact same MAC on Wednesday and all links to other fiels (.indd, .png, .bmp, etc. nothing uncommon) have to be updated as they all show the yellow triangle + black exclamation mark symbol next to them. Has anybody else experienced this, What can we do? We have tried absolutley everything and updated all software from MAC OS to CS6 itself but nothing seems to help on the long run.
Any further information required?
M. Miller

Thanks for your quick reply.
We actually noticed that there also seems to be something wrong with the timestamps:
If we open the infos via the MAC finder to a file (.psd e.g.) which is linked in one of our indesign files, it states a certain date of creation.
If we then switch to the Indesign file we just opened in which we had to update all links and open the infos to exactly the same file we looked at in the finder, a different date of creation is stated. So there also seems to be a mistake here (hope it's clear what I mean).
We are ruling out our network as the error cannot be "re-enacted". We have created numerous test files in Indesign (simple white page containing one link to a .psd file which is also used in one of the supposedly defective files) and have opened them on various MACs with various OS versions over the past days/weeks but unfortunately the files open without any notifications or errors.
Just as a background: a few months ago, the problem seemed to occur between MACs with differing OS, 10.6 - 10.8 at first. A file which was created on a 10.6 MAC could not be opened without updating all links on a 10.8 MAC. That is why we updated everything to 10.8. The error did not occur for about 2-3 weeks but then reoccured again.?
Have you heard anything similar?

Info Palette Options

I consistently use the Info Palette, but I find it too small, and after 1 hour or so, my eyes hurt!! Is there no possibility to magnify it, at least 2x?

Many of the dialogs can be re-sized by dragging the little triangle at the bottom right, but the panels are fixed and can’t be re-sized. The new interface in PSE11 is a little easier on the eye. I think only by changing your display resolution will it make any difference but that could then affect the appearance of other apps. On Windows there is a screen magnifier in Accessories although working with it is not ideal.

Can i enlarge the fonts in the history palette or info palette?

Hi
is there a tweak to enlarge fonts in the histrory palette or info palette in photoshop cs3?
thanks

Dude, I really hate to bust your stones, but do you explore Photoshop at all on your own accord, or do you post here with every question that comes to mind?
<br />
<br />Open your Photoshop preferences and see the following (click on the image for full size). If the choices available don't work for you, then you need to either get some glasses, or post a note in the Feature Request section for a broader range of UI font size control.

CS6 deployment error with Application Manager Enterprise 3.1 Edition

Hello everyone,
I am currently trying to create a DesignWebPremium and Master Collection CS6 deployment package with AMEE 3.1 (Application Manager Enterprise Edition) on Windows 7 EE x64 without any luck.
I keep getting the following error log:
11/16/2012 06:35:51[INFO] AdobePackageBuilder - Build Version - 3.1.105.0

I have tried creating the deployment package as both 32-Bit, 64-Bit, including updates and not including them, running AMEE 3.1 with administrative access and without - it just doesn't work...
I'll be grateful for any constructive help.

Hi,
I just did come across this error today, and thought of sharing with the solution. This error is due to insufficient previlages of user, while he is trying to configure the hyperion Products. So all you have to do to solve this is, while you try to configure, right click on the configuration utility and run as administrator, and do the configuration as usual.This would solve this issue. I did not have this issue with Windows 2003 Server, but faced this while installing on Windows 2008 Server.
Thanks,
Leo Jose.

CS4 Info Palette

I just upgraded to Photoshop CS4 from CS3 at work.We print solely to a Lightjet 430 in RGB. We are constantly sent flattened images that contain a clients logo that must match a specific PMS color. My method is to marque the logo, set a color sample point, choose a correct color from a color chart that is printed on the correct media, sample correct color from color chart file, use a curve to alter the original values to the correct values for printing, then use blend if sliders to exclude all other colors and viola perfect PMS matching in RGB.
Yesterday, we upgraded to CS4 because we keep receiving CS4 files from our client. To my amazement my technique will not work anymore. I don't know if this is a bug or something Adobe has changed on purpose. I checked and I do have the eyedropper set to sample all layers. What I've noticed is that in CS3, the info palette sample shows the current value of the sampled point. If you open the blending options, the info palette shows you the original value on the left and as you adjust the sliders, it shows the current value on the right. In CS4, from the get go, the info palette shows the original value on the left and the current value on the right. When you open the blend options, the numbers flip flop and any adjustments to the sliders have no effect on either value. Surely this is a bug. What reason could there be for removing this bit of functionality? Or is there just some setting I need to change? This color matching trick is something I use on a daily basis and if Adobe has changed this then CS4 is totally useless to me. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks in advance.
Wade

This is an interesting workflow, I don't know if I fully understand this part:
Wade Hulsey wrote:

By this do you mean, the original color values correspond with underlying, and the new color values on top?
You may be able to use Replace Color (although that is not available as an adjustment layer).

RGB/CMYK/Lab values like Photoshop «Info» palette

Hello.
How can we do that when moving the cursor over an image in a some window/place showing the current values RGB/CMYK/Lab as «Info» palette in PhotoShop?
Thanks.

>And the RGB readouts are based on the LR working space.
That's not true. The RGB readouts are based on the tone curved histogram space. The percentages you see there are certainly not in the linear lightroom space. Just try it out and you'll see. Clearly, the readouts correspond to the position in the histogram of the same area.
>And the sRGB tone curve is NOT an exact 2.2 gamma, it's got a tweaked toe that makes it different. It's subtle but it's different.
You're absolutely right of course. There is indeed a toe in the black areas. In almost the entire range, the tone curve is just gamma 2.2 though.

When I go to a Pages document, I can't get a cursor to enter info.

Why no cursor to enter info in Pages?

Pages creates two types of document: Word processing documents and Page layout documents.
Word processing documents include a default Text layer into which text can be entered directly.
Page layout documents do not contain a Text layer. Those created with either of the Blank Canvas templates contain nothing except an empty canvas onto which objects, including Text boxes, may be placed. To enter text on a Page layout document, you will first need to insert a Text box (or a Shape) using the Text button or the Shapes button in the Toolbar. Click inside the Text box, and you will see the insertion point and be able to enter txt from the keyboard or from the Clipboard.

Barry

Color densitometer or info palette when editing colors?!?

I am new to Premiere Pro, so forgive me if I have overlooked the obvious, but I can't find any sort of info palette that displays color info when using color correction tools within Premiere Pro. I have searched this forum and the Adobe Help info, but haven't found any info.
Considering that Premiere Pro has such powerful color capabilities, I would expect there is a way to measure changes being made. Coming from a Photoshop background, I rely on the densitometer and info palette for accuracy and repeatability. Although Premiere Pro's video scopes display a lot of info (I wish Photoshop had these!), they are not very precise tools. Having a way to measure actual color values would seem critical when matching color between two different pieces of footage.
One option I found is to use the "Leave Color" color correction tool's eye dropper to select a color, and then view the color values by clicking on the sampled color swatch. This opens up the familiar color dialog box with all sorts of handy color info. If Adobe could include that, why didn't they include a simple densitometer (eye dropper tool) and an info palette that displays color reading?
If such features exist, I hope someone will point them out to me. If they exist in a third party color editing plug-in for Premiere Pro, that would be a very compelling reason to buy it. Any suggestions on this would be most appreciated.
cheers,
Dave

David - Thanks for your reply. For my work flow in Photoshop, the densitometer and info palette are "must have" tools for repeatability and accuracy of colors, as well as many, many other uses. I calibrate my monitor and control my environment lighting, but recognize that my eyes and color perception will never be as consistent as a densitometer.
I am certain that Premiere Pro users would benefit greatly from these tools, and find it surprising that Premiere Pro doesn't have them. One obvious example would be matching the look of multiple film sources. Sure, you can make rounds of tweaks and preview them as they transition from one to the next. However, a method to read and compare color values would dramatically speed up that process.
I have started working with Premiere Pro's video scopes, and think these would be wonderful tools to work with in Photoshop. BTW, Jeff Sengstack has a good tutorial on the lynda.com web site. However, watching his videos, its quite apparent that he resorts to a lot of trial and error that would often be minimized with the ability to read color values.
