CS6 default image import is different than CS5

The default image import option for CS5 was "Crop" now with CS6 it's "Bounding Box"
Any ideas on how to change the default so I don't have to keep using the dialogue box?
Thanks

I just figured it out.
I was actually replacing an image and not importing. And I was using the link button in the links window, not the Command D shortcut.
The reason I used the term "image import" in the title of my question is that the dialogue box used when replacing an image says "Show Import Options". This is where I found the Crop option and this is the procedure that would not "stick".
I remembered that I could use Command D also to replace an image and that since this is the Place keystroke then the window would give me the same option. I chose "Crop" in the dialogue box, successfully replaced the image, closed InDesign, opened InDesign, used the link button in the links window to replace my image and Voila! it stuck.
So, just in case somebody else asks, to make it stick you MUST use the Command D shortcut or the Place menu item. Using the link button in the links window will not make your choice stick.
Thanks for your help Peter, I can see now why you were pulling your hair out on this, you must have been assuming I was using the Place menu item.

Why does Photoshop CC and CS6 render 3D objects differently than CS5? Getting weird textures and shadows

I've been searching the web unsuccessfully to see if anyone else has experienced this issue:
Our company had quite a few custom 3D models made of our packages (OBJ and DAE format), which we were able to wrap and render in PS CS5 with great success. Once we updated to CS6 and then CC, we experienced:
– bizarre shadows when opening CS5 files and rerendering
– strange textures when importing the models from scratch in CS6 or CC
I've attached an image showing some of the oddities.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.8.5 16GB memory.
Cache Tile size 1024K; 4 cache levels, "Basic" Graphics Processor setting (I've tried Advanced and None with no difference)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M OpenGl Engine
The frustrating thing is it doesn't happen on all models; some OBJ files work fine.
We may have to stick to using CS5 for our 3D models, but that's very limiting when working with freelancers.
Any insight is MUCH appreciated!

I've attached an image showing some of the oddities.
Please post those images with the camera icon tool.

Cs6 imports media slower than cs5

This post is inspired mostly by this user over on the creativecow forum - http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1035985#1036017
After he posted, I got to thinking, is it really that much slower? He and I have similar systems and setup practically identical, yet his media takes upwards of 30-45 seconds before the interface is usable again. My system takes about 4 seonds to import a 2mp jpg, a bit longer for other files, but nothing like this guy. So I opened up AE v10 on my Macbook Pro and watched that same file pop right into the project panel near instantly.
What's up with slower import times, and how do we fix that? Wait for Adobe Next? I hope that's not the answer, unless it's coming out tomorrow for this guy's sake. It doesn't make sense that his system, nearly identical to mine, takes 10-15 times as long to import a file.
For reference, I'm running all apps on 240gb Intel SSD, media and projects stored on 3tb 7200rpm internal hdd connected to 6gb/s sata port, with 32gb of HyperX RAM, and Win7.

Ok, after looking through the permissions check boxes and making sure the user account has full control, etc, still can't get files from the Explorer window to import as fast as using the import dialog box, which is really clunky, but oh well, it gets files in faster and it works. So new work flow habbit if you're experiencing slow imports on your files from dragging them from the Explorer window into the AE project panel - USE import dialog box.
Back to work...

InDesign CS6 export to EPUB works different from CS5.5 ?

With CS5.5 I have a Paragraph-Style set to place a space of 10 mm before. When I export to EPUB it works fine.
With CS6 the same style doesn't work: any space is left before the paragraph.
With CS5.5 every "Return" (End of paragraph) with blank paragraph (paragraph without characters - only return) is eliminated during exportation to EPUB.
With CS6 also blank paragraph are exported as they are to EPUB.
So, with CS5.5 I had to define particular style in order to obtain spacing between paragraph: How have I to do with CS6 ?
Have I to use only return to create spacing ?
All works done with CS5.5 are so incompatible to CS6 ?
Thanks in advance.
Selene

I'm a firm believer in writing your own CSS but, there was, IIRC, a bug in CS6 that affected paragraph spacing in EPUB. Are you patched to 8.0.1?

Is Refine Edge better in CS6 than CS5.5 than CS5

Is refine edge better in CS6 than CS5.5 than CS5 - have there been continual improvements
Thx

The CS5.5 code is no different than CS5. I can't say from personal experience whether the newest code is better; I've been able to get good results from both.

Limited image import from scanner

I find only limited image import options under Photoshop CS5 and CS6. Under CS3, I have a number of options which I have used frequently, regarding preview, zoom, desceening, filtering, stretch, noise removal, fading, grain, etc. None of these seem to be available under either CS5 OR CS6. In fact, under CS5, under "FILE>IMPORT", I I don't even GET the Canoscan 8400F opton. This is pretty basic stuff, getting good quality off a scanner. What's up? Do I need to go back to CS3 for everything? It actually worked.

Hi there, I'm sorry you aren't able to scan.
What operating system are you using? There are known issues with scanning while running Mountain Lion, in particular. If this is the case, Adobe engineer reccommends trying Image Capture:
Image Capture is a utility program in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder, and is a standard part of Mac OS X. As far as I know, Image Capture does work properly in Mountain Lion.
ImageKit refers to the underlying Cocoa frameworks (programming interfaces) used by Image Capture as well as by Photoshop and other applications to perform scanning. For reasons I won't go into here, these are not working correctly in Photoshop, but are in Image Capture, which is the problem we're working to resolve with Apple.
The scanners that work with Image Capture/ImageKit are also a standard part of Mac OS X, which means that users do not have to go to a different web site (e.g. Epson's web site) to download and install drivers for their specific scanner, which you do have to do with TWAIN. Scanner support (numbering in the hundreds) through Image Capture/ImageKit is already included in Mac OS X "out of the box".
We added support for ImageKit scanning to Photoshop CS6 because we recognized it was unlikely that scanner manufacturers would go back and rewrite their TWAIN drivers to work in 64-bit mode (especially older scanners that are no longer manufactured).
One advantage is that as improvements are made to ImageKit and as more scanners are added by Apple to their Mac OS X releases over time, Photoshop users get those "for free", so to speak. Unfortunately, changes to ImageKit made for Mountain Lion have had the effect of breaking this feature in Photoshop, but we are confident this will get sorted out.
Here is an article talking about known issues with scanning in CS6, and some workarounds. It suggests downloading a TWAIN driver (more information here) or using your scanner's scan utility (although this might not be the optimal solution for you, considering you came to the forum).
I hope this information helps!

Why are images displayed in Photoshop different than the same images displayed in Indesign?

My images imported to Indesign do NOT display as the images in Photoshop.
They seem to display under different color profiles.
The images in Indesign are more desaturated than the images in Photoshop.
This is a problem because now I don't know which image appearance to trust!
How can you get the Indesign images to look like the images in Photoshop?
I use Photoshop CS4 and Indesign CS3.
I import the images from Photoshop to Indesign for exporting to a PDF as the base for Blurb printing (www.blurb.com).
I use the CMYK profile Blurb_ICC_profile.icc:
The images in PS4 are converted to Blurb_ICC_Profile (CMYK).
Both in PS4 and ID3 the color settings are
                           Working spaces:
                              CMYK: Blurb_ICC_profile
                           Color management Policies:
                               CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles.
The images are imported into Indesign by drag and drop from Bridge CS4. In Bridge it says that the images have color profile CMYK, Blurb_ICC_profile.
I also do get "Unsynchronized: Your Creative Suite Applications are not synchronized for consistent color." And I don't seem to be able synchronize between CS3 and CS4, or whatever. I do NOT depend on any synchronization.
The settings above should be enough to show the images consistently in Photoshop and Indesign.
SO WHY DOES IT NOT?
Should not Adobes own applications be able to keep color consistency?

Hi WA Veghe,
>First: DO synchronize, makes sure you have the same profile settings and color mange settings.
I don't seem to be able to synchronize between CS4 (Photoshop) and CS3 (Indesign).
It seems I have to do without synchronizing..
>I do not seem to find HOW you are diplaying images on you screen: with Soft proofing?
What happens if you soft proof in Photoshop and InDesign on screen: View > Proof colors. Do you proof with the same profiles, both simulate paper and black on?
I can simulate Proof Colors (working CMYK), but not simulate Paper, both in Indesign and Photoshop.
Problem is: SAME settings in Photoshop and Indesign BUT the image displayed in Photoshop is brighter and more saturated.
So which image should I correct after?
thanks for all help

Import collections from Bridge CS5 to CS6

Hi
I have a system of collections organized in Bridge CS5 that I would like to continue having in CS6. I see a handful of CS5 preferences being imported as I installed CS6, but not the collections. Any tricks to this?

I have copied the Collections folder from Bridge CS5 to CS6 (in Snow Leopard).
The images are all there, but the order has changed.
Is there a better way to do this?
I can't open both versions of Bridge at the same time in order to copy the proper order....
I suppose i could print screenshots of the CS5 collection and then correct it in CS6.
There must be a better way! This could take hours.

ACR processing in CS6 much slower than CS5

A big advantage of hosting ACR in 64 bit CS5 vs in bridge was that then ACR would process multiple images at once when saving them to jpg which would reduce processing times by 30% or more. For some reason this doesn't seem to be the case with CS6. I just did a short test and CS6 won't process multiple images at once, and was 33% slower than CS5 at saving a batch of 5dmkii images to jpeg.
Has anyone else noticed this? Hopefully this limitation is due to beta status and the final release of ACR will be fully optimized for 64bit processing.

It seems strange that their is hardly any improvement in 64 bit cs6 speed vs 32 bit cs5.    I agree, gpu support for acr would great!

Bridge in CS5 was 32 bit only, and I observed the 32 bit converter as run by Bridge (or Photoshop 32 bit) wouldn't exercise all the cores, so the way I interpret your numbers is as follows:
1. ACR7 is 50% slower than its predecessor (34.25 seconds when run in Photoshop 64 bit vs. 22.59).
2. Bridge is now 64 bit, so you're running the same code in both cases, which is why you're seeing essentially the same number in Bridge as Photoshop.

How to modify Bridge CS6 default sub-folder date format while importing?

How could I modify Bridge CS6 default sub-folder date format when we are importing images from a connected camera? Default format for shooting date is aaaammjj. I would like instead aaaa_mm_jj. How could I add "_" to the date format?

You only can do so after the import process using a third party app called A better finder Rename, originally designed for Mac but they seem to have a Windows version also:

Plantage d'illustrator avec des images importées (CS6 64 bits pour Windows)

Bonjour,
Je travaille (en entreprise) sous Adobe CS6 (64 bits). Depuis ce matin, lorsque j'essaie d'enregistrer (ou d'imprimer) mes compositions qui contiennent une image importée, Illustrator se ferme avec une petite fenêtre windows "Illustrator a cessé de fonctionner".
Je suis certain que c'est la faute aux images importées car tout fonctionne très bien quand je n'enregistre que des textes ou que des formes (plume, autres,...).
Je voulais savoir si ce bug était répertorié (je n'ai rien trouvé sur internet) et quelle pourrait en être la solution ?
Merci d'avance,
Cordialement

Re-bonjour Machinvert,
Il faut savoir qu'un compte utilisateur et donc restreint peut être la cause du problème, il faut savoir que ce type de compte ne vous donne pas un access total en droit de lecture et d'écriture comparativement à un compte administrateur.
Un compte en serveur peut être également le problème dû par la configuration faite et de leurs paramètres different de ceux d'un compte local normal Windows.
Si votre collègue a eu le même problème et me doutant que la configuration des comptes Windows soit indientique à la vôtre, cela peut expliquer le problème et donc il faudrait dès lors faire un test sur un compte Admnisitrateur en local Windows.
La désinstallation n'est pas la solution appropriée étant donnée que le problème ses presente sur 2 PC different, sauf, si l'installation a été faite en déploiement et dès lors il faudrait peut-être revoir et voir refaire l'installation si celle-ci n'a pas donné un succès escompte.
Une coupure de courant a certainement cree pas mal de problème dans l'ordinateur comme certainement au niveau du serveur.
Je ne pourrais vous conseiller que de prendre contact avec votre service informatique et de leur faire part de mes notifications.
Merci de votre comprehension.
Arnaud.

Is CS6 Mixer Brush more advanced than CS5 Mixer Brush?

I'm comparing the CS5 & CS6 mixer brush, with moist, light mix, right now...
At first I wondered why the CS6 mixer brush was slower, until I realized that it looks like the actual brush stroke in CS6 is more advanced. The CS6 stroke looks like it's calculating the overlapping brush strokes & it's interaction with the texture more accurately to real life.
I haven't read any articles on improvements to the CS6 mixer brush. Has it actually improved or are my settings just different in CS6 from CS5? I'm just wondering, since I'll probably need to work with "Sample All Layers" unchecked when working with the CS6 mixer brush.
Thanks!

After playing with the mixer brush for a while in cs5 & cs6 I've come to the conclusion that cs6's mixer brush is simply slower than cs5's mixer brush when "Sample All Layers" is checked (there are only two layers in the 3000 x 2000 file). The cs5 & cs6 mixer brush gives pretty close to the same results.

Thumnails different than images

All of a sudden a few of my thumbnails are different than my acutal image. I rebuild my library, didn't work. By looking at the file name, I can tell the image is correct, but the thumbnail is incorrect. Any other ideas?

Yea, this *****. I have this disease, as well.
There's another thread on it somewhere. The best advice was to export the project and re-import. That assumes you know which ones are bad! I have nearly 30,000 images -- how the heck am I supposed to find all the bad thumbs, export, and re-import?

When importing a CD, the CD Lookup Results dialogue box came up and I choose the wrong CD title. Now iTunes is importing a different song list than the one on my CD. How can I retrieve the CD Lookup Results to choose the correct title?

When importing a CD, the "CD Lookup Results" dialogue box came up and I choose the wrong CD title. Now iTunes is wanting to import a different song list than the one on my CD. I've shut down my computer and opened iTunes from the hard drive Program Files and tried to import the CD again with the same problem. How can I retrieve the "CD Looup Results" diaglogue box to choose the correct CD title to fit the song list on my original CD?

You might also be able to do it without importing the songs again I think. Just highlight the tracks, right click them and choose "Get Track Names". This feature only works on CDs that were imported via iTunes.

Problem in starting rmid in a port different than the default one

hi all,
i am experiencing exceptions in running rmid in a port different than a default one.
if i run
rmiregistry 2000
rmid -J-Djava.security.policy=policy
java -Djava.security.policy=policy -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=<mypath> -classpath <myclasspath> com.myclass.ActivatableRMI <host:port>
everything works fine
but if i try to specify a port in which rmid should be started, then i have exceptions...
can anyone tell me how to solve my problem? i am running NT 4.0
thanx and regards
marco

If you start rmid at port other than the default one
(1098) with -port option, it is necessary to set the
system property "java.rmi.activation.port" to this
port.
Rmid internally starts a local registry service
(LocateRegistry.createRegistry(port)) and binds the
RMI activation system server object with this registry
service like Naming.rebind("//:" + port +
"/java.rmi.activation.ActivationSystem",
activationSystem);. Activation system provides a means
for registering groups and "activatable" objects to be
activated within those groups. When a activatable
server object is exported, it is registered with this
activation system, so it should get the stub to the
activation system which is started as part of rmid.
ActivationGroup class provides a static function
getSystem() to get the reference to the activation
system stub. Now it makes use of the system property
"java.rmi.activation.port" value to contact the
registry service where activation system registered
itself under the name "//:" + value of
java.rmi.activation.port +
"/java.rmi.activation.ActivationSystem". If this
property is not set, it uses the default port 1098.
-- Srinath MandalapuThis is an awesome and lovely forum answer (and I saw srinath_babu reply to another similarly in my search), but I would like to ask for just a bit of clarification.
My question is simply making sure I understand the reply above in my own terms...
Suppose that right now my program involving activatables is already working with default port 1098, but that I wanted or needed to change to another port for rmid. Then is this statement true?
- IF the commandline which which I start rmid specifies port xyxyx,
- AND IF I added -Djava.rmi.activation.port=xyxyx to the commandline with which I run the setup for my Activatable (i.e. the program that calls Activatable.register method),
- THEN my code will still work as is (i.e. I wouldn't have to change my existing code to specify the port anywhere in it)?
(If I am not understanding this correctly, please let me know!)
Thanks very much,
/Mel
