Does ACR write to original file?

I read the following:
"When you make adjustments to an image in Camera Raw, such as straightening or cropping, PhotoShop and Bridge preserve the original file data. This way you can edit the image as you desire, export the edited image, and keep the original intact for future use or other adjustments"
How does it keep the original intact? Does it never write over the original file?
Thanks.

1.) Just to make sure I understand, Camera Raw writes any changes you make to DNG, TIFF and JPEG in the .xmp metadata. So if I throw the .xmp file away, I lost all the changes I made?
2.) If so, those changes are written in Camera Raw, will Photoshop open the DNG, TIFF, or JPEG and be able to interpret the info in the .xmp?
Thanks!

Why does PS CS5 (12.0.4) write to original file when I 'save as copy'?

Here's the scoop: I open a PS file. I chose 'Save As' but uncheck 'Show Layers' in the dialog box. So now it's essentially a 'Save A Copy'. When the new file is saved the original file is written to (although nothing changed) and now has the same modification date as the 'Save A Copy' file. Super strange and causing issues. Because if one flattens or does anything to the original file, those changes are baked into the original file!
Any ideas? Thanks, in advance.
Mac OS 10.7.3

I've checked with CS5.1 and the original file isn't being written to here on OS X 10.6.8 when a copy is written. The only file that's written to is the one named in the Save As dialogue. I don't know what to suggest, sorry.
Edit: I see you have 12.0.4 - CS5. You can probably ignore my post since a fix to your problem may have been made in CS5.1.

Selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type

I've been using Premiere Elements 9 for a couple of years now, and a few months ago I began having problems importing AVI files created from a BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card. (These issues were not previously occurring, and since they surfaced, I have exhausted the various settings for the BlackMagic card, used various software such as BlackMagic's own Media Express as well as the freeware VirtualDub, and still have the following problems.)
In addition, these AVI files play just fine, in their entirety, using Windows Media Player and in Quicktime.
The problem (or possibly two, but I suspect they could be related) is that most of the AVI files I attempt to import will either (1) import all video and NO audio, or (2) import ONLY a short segment of audio and video, and the length that Elements imports varies. Usually only in the range of a minute or two. The rest of the file is not imported at all.
After much digging in forums, and testing various settings in trying to figure out the issue, I decided to back up all of my files and completely wipe all hard drives and start over with a fresh installation of Windows and Premiere Elements 9. I haven't installed much else yet, as I wanted to first find out if the reinstallation improved things with Elements.
For the first project I created in Elements after the reinstallation, Elements successfully imported an entire AVI that was nearly 2 hours long, audio and video. This was a file that previously would not import properly into Elements. This suggested that my earlier installation of Elements must have been corrupted somehow. At this point I was very hopeful that all was well.
I proceeded to edit the video as I had wanted, saved the project, and exported it to an MPEG format file. I had originally wanted to export it as an MOV, but I hadn't yet installed Quicktime, so Elements couldn't do that just yet. The MPEG export was successful and plays fine.
However, I then installed Quicktime, and once it was finished, I restarted the PC and reloaded the same project. This time, Elements claimed the media was offline. I double-clicked on a segment of the video, and directed Elements to the raw file, but then an error message popped up: "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)." This was the same file I had JUST edited and of which I created an MPEG.
I tried creating a new project and the "Get Media" function to import the AVI again, but this time only the video imported with NO audio. (This would explain why the error message said what it did, but not why the audio wasn't imported.)
What in the world is going on with Elements??? I am baffled since the ONLY task I have done on this machine after a complete reinstallation of both Windows and Elements is edit one AVI. I find it very hard to believe that just installing Quicktime caused this.
Some info on my system:
System: Asus P6T w/ Intel i7 920 and 12 GB memory
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Video Software: Premiere Elements 9
Capture Card: BlackMagic Intensity Pro (PCI-e)
Capture Software: AVIs recorded with either BlackMagic Media Express or VirtualDub (only prior to the reinstallation, as neither of these programs are currently installed)
I'm getting to the point with Elements that I might need to just abandon it and find something else that is more reliable. Anybody have suggestions to help with this, so I won't have to migrate?

We think that we need to start off with definiting the properties of these .avi files that you are importing into Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 (assumed that you are working for the required 9.0.1 Update).
You say that the "avi" was created from a "BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card". What are the properties of this .avi that you imported into Premiere Elements? Not all .avi are created equal. What is the video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, pixel aspect ratio, typical duration?
Based on the properties of the video what have you been setting as the project preset?
Let us start here.
More later.

The DVD disc which is labelled 4.7 GB/120 minutes is in reality 4.38 GB. And the DVD disc which is labelled 8.5 GB/240 minutes is in reality 7.95 GB.
What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running? Can we assume 13/13.1 on Windows 8.1 64 bit?
What are you doing, a burn to disc DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc or burn to disc AVCHD on DVD disc?
When you get to the burn dialog (and you have your disc in the burner tray), what does the Quality area of the burn dialog show for Space Required and Bitrate with and without a check mark next to "Fit Contents to Available Space"?
Or, can you do burn to Folder (4.7 GB) and/or burn to ISO Image (4.7 GB)? Are your successful burn to .iso files under 1 GB in file size?
Please quantitate "...shortening the timeline dramatically".
Thank you. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

CS5 The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's t

Greetings,
I have been working on a very large project using CS5 on my desktop computer. Now I am on the road and bought a laptop so that I can continue to work. I placed all of my assets on a back-up external 2tb drive (which I was able to open without incident on my desktop). I installed CS5 on my new laptop and now when I try to open the project I get the following message "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)". This message appears before I indicate the path to any of the assets. Then, when I do indicate the path to each asset, I get the same message for individual files.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy

I had this problem and have found a solution / workaround: my issue was when trying to open a cs5 project that had been collected on mac and then transfered to pc, my footage was all png image sequences but this will hopefully work in other situations...
Open the project and cancel the first dialogue box that pops up where you get the "file cannot be linked" error when trying to reconnect footage. The project will open and then in the project panel, right click on any footage that needs reconnected and choose "Replace footage..." this will open a dialog that will allow you to select the file that gave you the error in the first place without any issues. Any sequences with that footage will now work and everything show be all good.
You may experience "Offline material is present in this export and will be encoded using the offline media graphic" on first export but apparently you can just ingore that, but i guess it's woth testing a few short sections before commiting to a huge render...
This workaround isn't perfect as i had about 50 pieces of footage i had to relink via this method one by one but at least it saved redoing the edit which was critical for my project...
good luck!

Does ACR save JPEG & TIFF files like RAW files are saved?

I know ACR saves RAW file edits to side-car files, not permanently changing the original file. Does ACR do the same for JPEG and TIFF files when they are opened, edited and saved? Thanks.

I wonder if Kelby could have been confused by the fact that the metadata describing the Camera Raw settings is being stored back into the JPEG file. The key is that the JPEG file is indeed re-written, but the actual image data is not changed.
Here's an experiment you can try for yourself:
1. Start Photoshop, and choose File - Open As...
2. Change the type to Camera Raw, and choose a JPEG file that you have on your disk, and press [Open].
3. When Camera Raw comes up, push the Exposure control all the way to -4.00 EV and press [Open Image].
4. Note that it's very dark, as expected.
5. Close the document, do not save.
6. Note that the JPEG file has been updated on your disk by seeing that its date and time are current.
7. Choose File - Open As... again and open the same JPEG file.
8. Note that the Exposure control is set again to -4.00 EV and the preview is very dark.
9. [Cancel] the Camera Raw dialog.
10. Open the same JPEG file from Windows Explorer using the Windows Photo Viewer. Note that it is NOT dark. The original JPEG data is still intact, as bright as it ever was.

Does Muse optimize the original file because my images in a slideshow resize after I have used the image more than once.

iif I import a photo into my website and make it a small size then when I create a slideshow and add that photo from my computer it comes in too small every time. It's as though Muze is optimizing the original photo and that is very frustrating. I have to open that photo in Photoshop and save it again to fix it. Very annoying. Will this be fixed?

Muse does not touch the original image, but it does maintain an optimized copy of the original. You can verify by locking the original image file to prevent Muse from touching it.
Muse performs the optimization at export/publish time based on the largest instance of the image in the project. In this case, when you re-import the image, Muse is incorrectly assuming you want the new image at the same size as the first instance that you resized smaller. We'll look at fixing this behavior in the next release, but in the mean time there is a workaround.
Instead of opening the image in Photoshop and re-saving, which changes the modification date of the image and signals Muse to re-import the image, try double-clicking until the image is selected. The selection handles will be smaller and solid if you have the image selected. The handles will be larger and hollow if a container is selected. Then resize the image to the dimensions you want. Initially, the image will be pixelated because Muse is still using the previously optimized copy. However, if you choose File->Preview Page in Browser, the image will be re-optimized for the new dimensions and you should see a higher resolution version in both the browser and on your page within Muse.
You can more easily verify the optimization behavior as follows:
1. Place an image at 25% of its original size.
2. Select File->Preview Page in Browser, which will optimize the image at the 25% size.
3. Duplicate the placed image and resize the duplicate to be twice as big (i.e. 50% of the original). Initially, this duplicate will be blurry after the resize.
4. Select File->Preview Page in Browser, which will re-optimize the image and redraw at the higher resolution.

Throwing away a .dmg file. Does it erase your original file?

I don't know what a .dmg file is. But I seem to have hundreds scattered throughout my computer.
If I throw them away, am I in danger of loosing my original file that I downloaded?
It appears as if whenever I download anything, I get a .dmg somewhere.
What are they?
Do they take up space?
is it okay to delete them?
Cheers.
-An

A dmg file is a container file for installers,folders, and applications.
If you run the installer from the dmg file, usually it installs the applications in the Applications folder. If they are there, their corrosponding DMG file is possible to be deleted after their disk image icon (example of one) is dragged to the trash.
If you drag a folder or application out of the above icon into the Applications folder, you can then drag the above icon to the trash, and then drag its corrosponding dmg file to the trash.
DO NOT drag the dmg file to the trash if:
1. You double clicked the application from the inside of and simply added to Dock (the translucent bar at the bottom of the screen), and wish to save that application for further use.
2. You are not cloning your machine when backing up. You'll want to save any downloaded application installers to CD in case you need to restore your system from your backup. See my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Treat dmg files as containers of disk images.
When double clicked those image files will become:
and will only exist as such until you either drag it to the trash, or reboot your Mac. Their contents must be moved if you want future access to them after deleting the dmg file.

CS6 The selected file cannot be linked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's t

I understand there is another posting in this forum with the same error happening on CS5 and their solution had something to do with Quicktime. Mine has nothing to do with this.
I ran into this exact same problem in CS6 and I found that the issue is because I renamed the root project folder. My folder structure is like this:
Drive C:\
-> [root project folder]
-> [folder containing videos]
-> MyProject.prproj
By renaming the root project folder, I was no longer able to open up the project successfully. It would get to certain clips and ask about where the clip was located. Trying to re-link it to the correct file would result in that error (which makes no sense if you think about it).
So my question is, is it intentional that the absolute folder paths are saved into the project file rather than relative paths? Does it not make more sense if paths were saved relative to the root project path? That way the root project folder could be renamed to whatever you want and it would have no effect on the project itself.

How does LGWR write redo log files, I am puzzled!

The document says:
The LGWR concurrently writes the same information to all online redo log files in a group.
my undestandint of the sentence is following for example
group a includes file(a1, a2)
group b includes file(b1, b2)
LGWR write file sequence: write a1, a2 concurrently; afterwards write b1, b2 concurrently.
my question is following:
1、 my understanding is right?
2、 if my understanding is right, I think that separate log file in a group should save in different disk. if not, it cann't guarantee correctly recovery.
my opinion is right?
thanks everyone!

Hi,
>>That is multplexing...you should always have members of a log file in more than 1 disk
Exactly. You can keep multiple copies of the online redo log file to safeguard against damage to these files. When multiplexing online redo log files, LGWR concurrently writes the same redo log information to multiple identical online redo log files, thereby eliminating a single point of redo log failure. In addition, when multiplexing redo log files, it is preferable to keep the members of a group on different disks, so that one disk failure will not affect the continuing operation of the database. If LGWR can write to at least one member of the group, database operation proceeds as normal.

Why does Lightroom keep doing this to my RAW files?

I load my raw files into lightroom and it does this to a few images and some times many of the images..it does not matter which card I use..I thought it was a bad card one time and threw it out. I actually quite using Lightroom a year ago because of this and FORGOT and started using it again. It ruins the files. Once its loaded into Lightroom and it does this to the raw file its permanant. Help!

This is probably a hardware problem as Lr does not write to RAW files. See this thread.

HT3842 Does iTunes store the original music file and copy it into a separate folder? If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library?

Hi, on my last PC when transferring music to my new MacBook Pro i noticed i had about 6 duplicated of each song in every album i took hours in removing them.
I Just wondered Does iTunes store the original music file and then copy it into a separate folder?
If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library or vice versa. I didnt want to lose any music like i have some how managed to on my old computer.
Or should i keep both files of it in the Music folder and also iTunes library folder?
Which is best ?

DrewPowell wrote:

It does both at the same time.
When you add files to iTunes, it copies them into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder. The original file remains where it was.
You can drag a file to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
This will add to iTunes and move it to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
I keep a shortcut of this folder on my desktop then simply drag files to the shortcut to add to iTunes.
Then there are no "extra" files around.

Client_text_io does not write the file but does create it.

Hello there!
I have a form which generates a .txt file using client_text_io webutil function.
this is the procedure:
PROCEDURE CREA_FILE IS
MYFILE CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
OUTFILE CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
MFILE VARCHAR2(1000);
MLINE VARCHAR2(5000);
RESP NUMBER;
BEGIN
MLINE:='LINE TO WRITE...';
MFILE := C:\test.txt;
OUTFILE := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN(MFILE,'w');
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.put_line(OUTFILE, MLINE || ' 123');
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.Fclose(OUTFILE);
EXCEPTION
     WHEN OTHERS THEN
     CLIENT_TEXT_IO.Fclose(MYFILE);
     message('ERROR: '||SQLERRM);
END;
It works on OAS 10g + forms 10g. the file is created fine, BUT I have tried with forms 11g unsuccessful.
My forms 11g are running under weblogic and the RedHat server.
Im running the forms app from my laptop Windows XP.
I configured webutil as the MOS note said, the thing is, the file is created, but no data is writted.
I can open the file test.txt but the line I tried to print is not there, the same thing with 10g and the file is good.
help me please.

What are you doing after writing to the file? Are you leaving the form? Forms performs event bundling when sending data over to java beans;
v_FILE_HANDLE := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN (FPATH, 'W'); most certainly uses get_custom_property at the end to retrieve the file handle from the bean which will cause a "synchronize" as data must be retrieved from the bean before continuing in the PL/SQL code whereas
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.Put_line(v_FILE_HANDLE,v_string_prov);
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE (v_FILE_HANDLE); most certainly uses set_custom_property which is a one-way street and data is bundled up and sent as one package. If you have e.g. a exit_form right after those calls there is a chance that forms waits for some other data to be sent over to the bean but won't send it, as the form doesn't exist anymore after the exit_form. The same would happen if you'd do a
v_FILE_HANDLE := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN (FPATH, 'R');
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE (v_FILE_HANDLE); right after writing your form as fopen will cause the sync (with the possibility that java will still hold a file lock on the file as the fclose method won't be called).

It will be in the iTunes media folder location shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Select the song, right click > Show file in Finder.

With Windows 7 I upgraded itunes to 11. Now in my itunes library, when I click on a song "original file could not be found" comes up. This happens with over 2000 songs, but it seems to be ones I recorded from cd's. Locate does not seem to work. Has anyone else had this problem?

Highlight a song that is supposedly missing, press CTRL+I to Get Info, say no when asked to locate the file, then look at the summary tab. Where does iTunes "think" the file should be? Where is it really? You may need to give a configuration file a minor tweak.
