Do CS5 or CS6 include a save option save without artboard?

Hi All,
I am currently using CS4. Is there an eps save option in CS5 or CS6 that such as save with artboard (boolean).  The CS4 interface allows you to save without the artboard.  Now I as a final step before my save code I have to resize the artboard for my visual bounds of my file.
Thanks,
Carolyn

Hi Carlos,
At this point could we agree at this point that apple script is save is not working properly (in regards to artboards) when you are dealing with 1 art board and that ulitimately Adobe needs to fix this? I hope to test this soon on AI CS6.
And, at this point we are discussing which is the best work around.
That being said, I did some more testing reproducing your results with multiple images.  And yes I would agree that the code works well with 2 images on 2 separate artboards (Only only tested 1 & 2). Somehow using one artboard fell through the cracks.
I was unsuccessful using the code in your most recent post.  However if I created a document with 2 art boards and with art only on the first artboard then saved via apple script with save multiple artboards set to false and omitted anything for range.  I got the best result. (Oddly I get the same result with one art board and setting save multiple art boards to true.)  The image imported into ID closely cropped.  However, this approach was still flawed.
-- First the image imported slightly off by about 1 or 2 points too low.  Cut of the very top of the image and added about 1 or 2 points of white space before the bounding box at the end of the image.  My work has to be precise.  I am sure that this holds true for others as well.  This has to be addressed by Adobe before this solution could be considered a viable option.
-- Second for this solution to work a second unnecessary art board needs to be added. I haven't tried adding one via script before saving.  If that is a case an the first item was fixed this could be a viable work around.  But adding a second art board to 50 to hundred of templates for a work around is not practical.
Until I see that Adobe has fixed this issue,  I am going to stick with my current workaround.  It provides the accuracy I need.
Thank you so much for your help and input. It has broadened my view of these save options.

  • Keywords lost in upgrading from cs5 to cs6

    Hi,
    Recently, I upgraded from Photoshop CS5 to CS6, including Bridge.
    A very bad surprise was to find that the keyword system that I had developed and used to assign kewords to new pictures was no longer there.
    Apparently, this very important "personal setting" was not transferred in the upgrade procedure.
    What can I do to retrieve it?
    What is the filename in which Bridge keeps the keywords?
    Perhaps I could find it on my system or some backup.
    Or, if that won't work:  I notice that when opening an old picture its kwds appear in the kwd panel, although in italics. and not in the hierarchical fashion they should.
    However, retrieving my kwds this way would be a terible task if I have to open each of thousands of pictures one by one.
    Is there a batch kind of way to do this, that retrieves the kwds from all pix in a folder with subfolders?
    Please help,
    Sverker

    Thanks all for considering my problem and for the advice!
    I was away from these matters for a while, now I'm back on it.
    First let me mention that I did indeed find a program for looking into the big .MIG file.
    But alas, the keywords file was not there, don't know why (thus it didn't matter to me that extraction of files from the .MIG didn't seem to work.)
    Thus I was ready to follow the advice you guys gave me from the beginning, to recreate the keyword list from the image files.  I made some use of the suggested Find / Keyword, chosing a particular keyword or just "exists" for a folder.
    But I soon found out that my keyword structure needed several improvements, and thus I gave up simply hitting Make Persist.
    Instead I am working my way on smaller chunks of files -- feels worth the trouble.
    To make this work more efficient, it would be useful if there were a way to prevent Bridge from starting to immediately writing changes to the files on disk, doing it over and over again for each keyword I assign or remove.
    Would be much better if I could make all changes in, say, a folder and then ask Bridge to write the changes to disk.
    Do you know if there is an option to stop the immediate writing of changes?
    I vaguely seem to remember I'v read about it, but now I can't find any such opotion.
    (maybe this should be posted as a new question?)

  • Photoshop CS4, CS5 and CS6

    I've just upgraded to Photoshop CS6. I still have applications for CS4 and CS5. This includes Bridge, Device Central, Extendscript Toolkit, and Extention Manager. Each version has one.
    Can I get rid of all relating to CS4 and CS5 now that I'm using CS6?  Any downsides?
    I also have some plugin programs like the Topaz Suite and now Perfect Photosuite 7. How do I migrate them into CS6?
    Thanks for any suggestions and help.
    Bob Collins

    Generally, you would have got the option to remove the old versions.  However, you can uninstall the old versions but you should do it from Windows Add/Remove modules in the Control Panel so that it doesn't remove the common files from your machine.
    If you are not constrained by disk space then the best thing is to leave the old programs on the system until you are familiar with the new features of the upgraded program.
    I have renmoved the old programs from my Windows 7 because I wasn't using them.  These days I use "Corel Paintshop Pro X5" and "Corel Draw Graphics Suite X6".
    Photoshop is for something I need to test for my colleagues who are not familiar with certain features in Corel so I tell them how to do it in PS CS6.
    Hope this helps.

  • Migrating settings, actions, plug-ins etc. from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud)

    Hi,
    I wondered if someone could help me with the transition from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud). I'm on a Mac with Mountain Lion.
    I would like to migrate as many settings (i.e. workspaces where relevant), personal Photoshop actions, plug-ins (i.e. Type DNA, FontShop [Photoshop], Scriptographer [Illustrator] and Blurb Template Creator [InDesign]) as possible from CS5 to CS6. What is the easiest and smoothest way to do this?
    Some settings, actions and plug-ins might not work with CS6, I don't know. I can't find where my Photoshop actions are archived atm.
    Can I import extensions from Adobe Extension Manager CS5 to Adobe Extension Manager CS6?
    Should I uninstall all CS5 apps? I'd like to keep InDesign CS5 for backwards compatibility at least.
    Does Audition completely replace Soundbooth? What about Flash Catalyst, Device Central and OnLocation?
    Edit: I have already installed all the Creative Cloud applications btw. But I haven't uninstalled any CS5 apps yet.
    Thanks,
    Eivind

    Hi Elvind,
    I would suggest keeping both CS5 and CS6 versions on the system until you are fully transitioned, longer if you want. When you launch Photoshop CS6 it will ask you if you want to import settings from the prior version. Third party plug-ins may or may not be compatible between versions so you might need to check with the manufacturer to find out. You would most likely need to reinstall any third party plug-ins that integrate into existing Adobe product installations though.
    I found this document for Photoshop CS6
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preset-migration-photoshop-cs6.htm l
    For the PS actions, I normally open the actions panel, highlight the actions set (folder) I wanted to migrate, from the flyout menu of the panel choose the option to save the set, this creates the .atm file. There is another option for importing actions in the same menu.
    I can't speak to migrating in relation to the other products. I would recommend posting in the respective product forums.

  • Programatically convert CS5 and CS6 illustrator files to lower versions

    Is there a way to programatically convert CS5 and CS6 illustrator files to lower versions (CS4, CS3 etc) programatically. Are there any third party tools to do it or does Scripting let you do that.

    The illustrator save options has a property for dealing with backward compatibility… As far as I know you can only do this using Illustrator…

  • Warning CS4 CS5 and CS6 Photoshop Action Users

    Adobe introduce the Adjustment Panel in CS4 and included two option that you should NEVER CHANGE from their default setting.  For if either or both are change from their default settings some actions that add adjustment layers will fail to work properly. They may or may not produce error pop-ups.
    I have been trying to get this fixed for a couple of years now.  The other day I received an e-mail from an Adobe programmer informing me that he had been assigned the task to fix the problems I've been having.  He included information he was considering.  It was clear he did not fully understand the problems and that keeping one of the options would make it impossible to maintain compatibility with previous versions of Photoshop.  I wrote two e-mails explaining the problems and a third detailing what the problems I saw with what was proposing.  He wrote back the all he wanted to do was to work on part of the problem not the whole problem. I wrote a fourth note but Adobe is back is stealth mode.
    The two options in the Adjustment Panel fly-out menu are:
    "Add Layer Mask by Default" checked by default.  This is how Photoshop always worked prior to CS4 there was never an option not to add one so nothing was ever recorded whether or not a layer mask was to be added they always were.  Changing this will make Photoshop not backward compatible.
    "Clip to Layer" not checked by default.  There has always been an option to clip adjustment layers to the previous layer. So when the option is used the action recorder records the option "With Clipping Mask" in the make adjustment layer step.  When the Adjustment Layer is not clipped the option "with Clipping Mask" is not recorded. In the past these recordings played back correctly and still do if the Adjustment Panel fly-out option "Clip to Layer" is not checked.  However if Adjustment Panel option is checked even though is was nit when the action was recorded for the option "With Clipping Mas" is not recorded Photoshop clips the layer because of the Adjustment Panel current Option setting. That could be fixed. The current option setting has no meaning in this context in fact the Adjustment panel may not have even been used to recode the Make Adjustment Layer step.
    Here is a link to a simple action recorded in CS6. It opens a new default size document add an Levels Adjustment Layer deletes the layer mask and then clips the adjustment layer to the previous layer.  The Action will play correctly in all versions of Photoshop prior to cs4.  It will fail in CS4, CS5 and CS6 if either or both of the Adjustments Panel fly-out options are changed from their default setting.  http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/CS6AdjLayer.atn

  • Compatibility with Illustrator CS5 to CS6

    Anyone who can help me please leave a comment or a suggestion. I would gladly appreciate it!!
    I am starting a Digital Media class in college and CS5 is what is setup on the computers and textbooks are also about CS5 as well. They haven't upgraded to CS6 yet. I am mainly doing Photoshop, Flash Professional, and Illustrator in this class. I have just paid for and downloaded the Creative Cloud and everything pertains to CS6.
    My question is should I stick with using Illustrator CS5? Or can Illustrator CS6 be used as long as I don't use the newer parts of the program?
    Also will there be compatible issues in say for instance I am doing a project and going back and forth from my computer at home (with CS6) to working on it at school (with CS5)? (Again only using the three programs I mentioned above)

    Hi,
    CS6 can definitely open the CS5 saved native Illustrator ( .ai ) files. In order to open the files saved from Illustrator CS6 in CS5, you would need to save the file to CS5 version.
    Illustrator provides you with the option to save a file which is compatible with its earlier versions.
    This can be done by selecting Version as "Illustrator CS5" in Illustrator Options dialog which appears when saving .ai file, shown as below:
    This saved file can be opened in Illustrator CS5 without any warnings..

  • Get Photoshop Auto Curve CS5 in CS6

    I have been disappointed by the "enhancements" in the auto curve feature in CS6. While it supposedly simplifies adjustments wtih a single curve, I find it doesn't work as well as the functionality in CS5.
    In CS5, it would adjust each channel individually. While that made it difficult to edit, the quality of the color corrections especially was superior. It was great for establishing a baseline correction and then adding other minor adjustments, as needed.
    I have beautiful photos that I edited in CS5 using this feature. Now when I open them in CS6, the auto feature doesn't provide the same results with the same photos.
    Is there any way to get the same type of curv auto adjustments from CS5 in CS6?

    The channel by channel Auto algorithm is still there,but it is no longer the default. You have to set it and check the "save as defaults" checkbox in  Auto Color Correction Options if you want to keep it as your preferred Auto setting.

    I don't have CS6 to test your code… Off the top of my head use with copying… That way the saved files are copies and the current document reference still stands this can get broken along the way when saving to new file… Otherwise try
    close the current document saving no
    Your code is not complete so its hard to say…

  • Crop Dimensions Issue CS5 vs CS6

    I am transitioning from Photoshop CS5.5 CS6.
    Using CS6, I was cropping a photo and I defined an exact pixel dimension of 94px x 99px with an output 72ppi.When I went to resample it in the Image dialogue box to 94px x 99px. I was able to get the desired width of 94px but the height ended up being 89px. If I cropped it to the correct dimensions, why can't I do the same when I re-sample it?
    I went back to CS5.5 and it did it flawlessly. I can't figure out what is going on with CS6.

    I tried it with Constraint Proportions on before. I went back to the image file again and apply the cropping, restraining the size to 94px x 99px in CS6 and saved the file without the image resampling.
    I just notice when I apply the cropping again in CS5, it cropped the picture slightly differently and got the results I wanted after resampling.
    So if I restrained the dimensions when I cropped the image in both C5 and CS6, why is CS6 cropping it differently? I notice there are some extra options in C6 tool bar where you define the cropping measurements, (I'm not in front of the computer right now so this may not be accurate), I think there is an option to crop off white edges or something. Maybe there's a feature that is new I'm overlooking?

  • Kernel panic rendering AVCHD footage in Encore CS5 or CS6

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro running CS6 and 10.8.2. My usual workflow is burning two hour multi-cam live performances to DVD. Usually this is two cameras of DV, one camera of AVCHD, all in a DV timeline.
    Lately I've been trying to burn DV timelines of nothing but AVCHD footage, and somewhere through the rendering process I always get a kernel panic. This happens with different projects, footage from different cameras (I'm using a Panasonic AG-AC130 or HMC40), whether I'm using Encore CS5 or CS6. The projects never finish. It seems to get 50-75% through rendering video before crashing. Rendering these projects on my MacBook Pro work just fine (though much slower). Timelines where it's not 100% AVCHD are still working fine.
    I had began having kernel panics unrelated to Encore, but traced this back to a heat issue. It's an old machine after all. After installing smcFanControl, this problem has gone away. I don't normally burn timelines of nothing but AVCHD, but I'm certain there was a time in the past I was able to burn these without issue. I monitor my system temperature during rendering and I'm somewhat confident that's not what's crashing the system.
    The top part of my latest crash report is listed below. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

    After a not-too-intense Bing search, the particular panic you're getting seems to be an indication of:
    Your Mac Pro is dying.
    Bad drivers in combo with an unforgiving OS.
    I don't have any easy advice for number 1.  If it is still a heat issue, you may need to redo the thermal paste on the CPU and blow the dust out of the heat sink.  If it's a deeper problem than that, some serious repair work up to and including replacement may be required.  Either way, it will be a painful fix.  For number 2, try updating your graphics card drivers (which card do you have?) and/or going back to 10.6.x or Lion 10.7.x and see if things improve.

    EDIT: Although Encore and Premiere Pro have their share of bugs, a lot of times they expose weaknesses in a system because of how much they tax all of the hardware and software.
