Dr. Brown 1-2-3 PS CS5 (to overwrite files)

I have been a lot of issues on CS5 using Save for Web as a part of recorded action to create 3 jpg sizes. Results are images at 300 ppi instead 72 ppi. (No problems on CS4 running the same steps in the action) One day it works & the other don't. A lot people on this forum suggest me Dr. Brown 1-2-3 process. WOW! it is really good but it doesn't overwrite files with the same name on the destination folders. For example if I have a photo named ABC1. jpg & run the 1-2-3 script again it creates another file ABC1_1. jpg. Is there any way to change that behaviour?

Is the Script »scrambled« or can you open it in ExtendScript Toolkit and get the proper text?
If the latter you could ask for help in the Scripting Forum.

Bridge cs6 doesn't recognize my cs5.5 .indd files?

I just upgraded from CS 5.5 to CS 6. When I go into Bridge and double click an old CS5.5 .indd file it tries to open in MS Word. (I find this very strange) If I right click the file and click "open with" the only option it gives me is MS Word. I don't even get that "try another program" button. When i go into InDesign and click file/open the file opens fine. The problem is that Bridge is much faster and I really want to use it. I checked with a coworker that upgraded the same time I did and she is having the same issue only she saves her files to her desktop and can no longer double click to open. Also when she does an "open with" she has multple options but none of them are InDesign. So with that said, I don't think this is a Bridge issue but I wasn't sure where else to post it. Thanks for any help you can give.

Maybe also try the InDesign forum for this.
When you look in to Bridge preferences you have the section 'File Type Associations' and inhere you can select the default application to open the files in. Inhere should be a list of all installed versions of ID visible and you can select one as the default.
Bridge is version specific and it might expect ID CS6 for bridge CS6 but usually it auto selects the correct version upon install. Can you check if the ID version you need is still in the File Type Associations?
And since your colleague has the same problem, are you working on a server environment?

Photoshop CS5 downloading duplicate files

How do you keep Bridge in CS5 from duplicating files when dumping an SD card in Windows 7 64-bit? I frequently have to dump 400 pics at a time and if I don't get to the backup before the next dump, I have the old files and new on the card. Unchecking 400 pics or checking 400 after pushing uncheck all is a nuisance. Isn't there any way to ask Bridge not to download files already in a folder? Now it just puts jpegDSCN2031-1 next to the original file downloaded. PSP has a very obvious "do not duplicate files" button, but I can't find it in Bridge.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Use your operating system instead of Bridge to download the pictures. I don't know what OS you are using, but every version of Windows I have used gives the option to skip Duplicates. I imaging Macs can do the same.

DW CS5 use ActionScript files without Flash

Our websites must avoid requiring a Flash download in the client browser.
Can we use Dreamweaver CS5 with ActionScript files (.as) without requiring Flash in a browser?
For example, DW CS5 menus include File -> New ... -> ActionScript,
but I cannot find literature or examples on using .as with Dreamweaver.
thanks,
Bruce

ActionScript is the backbone for Flash applications (FLV or SWF).
Unlike HTML & JavaScript, ActionScript is not a web programming language per se. It is a Flash programming language. And while some web devices support Flash many others do not.
If your site cannot use Flash then your ActionScript will need to be replaced with a suitable web alternative. Perhaps jQuery or Ajax (JavaScript & CSS).

CS5 upload sound file

Hi,
How do I upload and attach an mp3 file to my web page with CS5. I tried using Bridge but I can't get it to open. Thank you.

Hello
, I thought about your question and am only speculating that the two are not up to par with their programs. Isn't CS5 and the file for sound two different programs?
Like one is through Windows(msn) the other through Adobe. Of course you'll need sound for movies, videos, games, but that would be in a whole different program, to install audio, you need audio control and a sync developer, there would be a sync location in the CS5, try audio for a help topic..
If you find nothing there go to the terms of service and try to find your links through that department. Hope this helps some Juju24

PPRO CS5.5 Project File Compatibility

Hoping someone from Adobe can answer this one. Will PPRO CS5 be able to open PPRO CS5.5 project files?

Not directly. If a project is saved from PP CS5.5 and subsequently opened in PP CS5, you will be presented with the conversion dialog box you see if PP encounters an older version of a project. If the project uses features which are new in CS5.5 (such as merged clips), they will of course not convert down to CS5 in their native form, so in the case of merged clips the will appear in CS5 as a normal A/V sequence both in the timeline and the bin. CS5's converter module makes an independent copy so it's not realistic to flip the same material back and forth between CS5 and CS5.5. If you re-open a CS5 project in CS5.5, you'll get the same conversion dialog box, this time asking to upsave a copy.
There's no direct "save as CS5" option in PP CS5.5, as the conversion tool at the remote end of the chain handles the process.

Photoshop CS5: how many files can be opened at once?

I've just tried to open about 400 jpg's in Photoshop CS5, as I needed to crop them to the best ratio for display on my iPod Touch, and I got an error message saying I'd tried to open too many images at once, and it stopped at about 200.
My system is a Win7 Pro 64Bit, 3.4GHz i7 machine, with 16GB RAM, and I thought actions like this were driven by the amount of system resource available, but Photoshop seems to have an internal limit, regardless of the resources.
Has anyone else come across this apparent limit, and is there a way 'round it?
Thanks
Paul

In that case if a center crop will do you can download my crafting actions package. It contains a plug-in script that I wrote based on Adobe plug-in script Fit Image its name is AspectRatioSelection you can record using it in an action set its dialog to have it set a new selection that is a rectangle with a aspect ratio 3 2 that is centered and not feathered. This script will select a 3;2 center selection for lanscape images and a 2:3 selection for Portrait images. When the action is played the diaqlog will not show for the plug-in will record the settings you used when you recorded the action into the actions step. These setting will be passed to the script when the action is played and the script will not display its dialog unless you turn on the dialog in the action step. Once this setp is recorded follow it with a Image Crop step. Once you have recorded this two setp action you can run the Image processor set its dialog to run this action and heve it save and resize the crop to fit 1920x1920 or you could include a Fit Image step in the action after the Image crop step and set the Fit Image dialog width and height to 1920. You will find Fit image and AspectRatioSelection under menu File>Automate>...... You will also find Imahe Processor Pro there if you download it from Russell Browns web site.
If a center crop will not do for you add an additional step to the action to make it interactive by adding an interactive transform selection after the aspectratioselection step. The step need to be recorded with a 180 degree rotation and have its dialog turned on and you will need to hold the shift or shift+alt keys down and use a cornor point as you transform the 3:2 selection to constrain the selection to have the same 3:2 aspect ratio.

DW CS5 Missing Related Files Problem

Hello
Hoping somebody may be able to help me with a missing related files problem in CS5. I've tried Adobe phone support but they couldn't solve the problem.
*Some* of my sites (but not all) are not showing all the files related to that page. My pages are typically in .asp vb server model and contain .asp virtual includes (header, nav etc) plus .js and .css linked files
However DW is only showing the .asp includes as related files and not css or js ones. In design view the CSS is displaying correctly, and all styles appear in the CSS inspector but not showing as a related file in the bar. In CS4 it works fine.
I've tried deleting the site and recreating it, copying the files to a new folder and setting up a fresh site, creating a new folder and downloading all files from the remote server but no joy. I've also tried refreshing related files. if I click on the filter in the bar it only shows the asp includes and nothing else.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated, this is a great feature when it works
Cheers
MB

UPDATE:
Managed to solve this problem, this is a new issue to DW CS5, previous versions do not seem to exhibit this problem
It occurs when you use site root rather than document relative paths for js/css etc files AND don't have the remote site url (web url) specified in the site setup | local info dialog, or do not have it fully qualified with http://
ie. ../js/file.js works fine without a remote web url but /js/file.js does not show the related file in the bar unless a remote url is defined.
Hope that helps anyone else that encounters the same issue!

Indesign CS5 with PNG file exporting as a PDF file but the text is random bold

Hello,
I am looking for help to teach me how to solve this problem.
I use Indesign CS5 to make a proposal. I set the page marker and sub title in the master page.
Of course, there are including dozens of pages and some pictures here.
And one of these page, I place a PNG file and type some text.
When I export this file as a PDF file, one page, which is including PNG file, the text becomes random bold.
Therefore, I have used PSD file to cover the PNG file. But finally getting the same problem.
So does anyone can help me how to solve this problem?
Thanks so much for your help.

This sounds like a known issue with transparency on the page. When transparency is introduced ID uses a differnt method, apparently, of rendering text on that page and it appears bolder on screen and can print that way on low resolution devices like desktop printers. It usually is not a problem on press output.
The only way to mainatian consistency would be to introduce transparency on all pages, perhaps by adding a transparent object to your master page.

Can Firefox CS5 recognize custom file extensions as PNGs?

WHen you work with game skins you will have custom file extensions such as .scworld and .scskin that are really PNG files renamed. Does anyone know how to add these as recognizeable extensions in Firefox?

no, i am still dealing with this problem on both macs,
mac pro mid 2010 2,8 quad (24GB RAM) and my mbp 15" i7 (4GB RAM)
where i installed Photoshop CS5.
on both macs, photoshop always saves files with capital letter file extensions (xxx.TIF or xxx.PSD)
thats very annoying, as i have to manually rename the file in the finder later.
and thats for all files i create.
i really wonder, could anyone from the adobe staff please comment if it is a bug
or anything else?
thanks!

Photoshop CS5 has lost file associations

I recently installed both Photoshop and Dreamweaver CS5, deleting the CS4 versions after installation. I have lost file associations for all Photoshop-related files: eg jpg, tiff, gif and so forth, and the psd extension as vanished altogether. (That means that if you click on a .jpg file, it opens in a free MS utility like Paintshop rather than where you want it to go: in this instance, to Photoshop.)
I have taken the following measures, none of which have worked:
Manually altered the associations in Folder Options. I can browse to photoshop.exe, but nothing happens when I select it.
I have gone into the registry and deleted all associations under the relevant file types, eg .jpg etc. Restarting folder options replaces them exactly as they were, and I still cannot associate anything with Photoshop.
I have run Photoshop from the command prompt with the tag /regserver which ought to re-register it. Nothing happens. (If you want to try this, open the Start > Run box, browse to the .exe file and append (separated by a space) /regserver
I have changed and saved all file associations in the Bridge Options section. They are still there after I restart Bridge, but it has no effect on the overall file associations.
So that leaves me stuck. Both CS5 programs are registered in the program list, and both appear in the Start menu list of programs. Neither appear in the Folder Options list. I am running on XP Pro with today's (16 Sept 2010) MS updates. Can anyone help with this?

Solution
I have found how to fix this, for me at least and on an XP machine. Some users may find the procedure a bit unnerving. You should anyway back up your registry before making these changes.
Start > Run > regedit
Go to:
HKCurrentUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts
That will give you a long list of file extensions: ex .jpg, .png
Scroll down to and select the relevant ones, one by one. This is moderately laborious, but what follows is repeated exactly. (I found the .tiff extension was slightly different and left it alone. I never use tiffs so I don't know if it works unchanged.)
When you click on the + box for e.g. .jpg, two 'folders' open. These are
OpenWithList
This sets the list of potential programs to use for this extension, lettered a,b,c etc.The last entry in the 'folder' is MRUList which sets the priority order for these programs, eg if it has 'bcade' then program 'b' is first, 'c' is second etc. You can edit this order by clicking on it.)
OpenWithProgIds
This stores what kind of image this is. Under .jpg I found that I had 'jpefile' and something like Photoshop.9 (I don't recall exactly.) This refers to a very old version of Photoshop, certainly not the last one on this machine. All the other relevant image files had much the same terms associated with them. Some had four or five older Photoshop references: you can delete these entirely by right clicking on them. You then right click on the remaining Photoshop reference and alter it to read Photoshop.Image.12 Do not change the identity entry, e.g. the term 'jpefile', as mentioned above.
It is also worth navigating back up to
HKCurrentUser\Software\Adobe\Photoshop
I found that I had reference to five separate versions of Photoshop. You can delete all but (numerically below) the 12.0 folder.
Close regedit and reboot. You will find that Folder associations now recognise Photoshop as a valid program and assign it to the files that you have changed. I have not tried adding to the list in Explorer > Folder associations.
This is pretty shameful, frankly. Adobe's installation program should clean out all preceding registry entries when it de-installs a version. It should most certainly write Photoshop12 refereces when installing. This must be a pretty geenral problem.

Bridge CS5.1 – Disappearing File Names (Now You Don't See It All)

Bridge CS5.1. Lion 10.7.2. 27" iMac native display at native resolution.
For some reason, in Lion (but not Snow Leopard) Bridge cuts-off the bottom line of long file names (see the screenshot). Irritating. Difficult if I'm trying to distinguish between ‘Long File Name (1)’ and ‘Long File Name (2)’ where the (1) and the (2) have partly disappeared off the bottom, hidden under the bottom scroll-bar.
It seems to be something to do with the window resizing as Bridge, whilst not adapting the size of the thumbnails to fit the window size, produces a scroll-bar instead (see bottom right hand corner of screenshot). This doesn't happen in Snow Leopard.
I've tried fiddling with all the parameters which could effect Bridge's window display, but to no avail.
You can add this to the the other display problem with Adobe Camera Raw (see previous postings). Nice if Adobe could fix this too.
Sorry, this screenshot is hopelessly and incomprehensibly small owing to Adobe’s image size upload restrictions – so you’ll have to trust me on the disappearing file names and the scroll-bar.

Well, gentleman (gentleman, I assume) your answers are of no real help to me unless you have Lion to test this on. There is no relevant comparison to make since I have already established that this works correctly in Snow Leopard.
Yes, it is a man, I leave the qualification Gentle to you
I was more curious to the solutions you have done and when something does work on snow leopard and not in Lion will not automatically need to be qualified as a bug unless you tried different solutions.
Have you tried to delete the 'lastusedworkspace' file from the user library, resetting preferences and even deleted the plist file from the user library prefs? And did you try the default film strip mode. Or other default workspaces, is it only your own customized workspace that shows this behavior? What have you set as additional info lines in the Bridge prefs.
If it seems a bug you should report it as such at Adobe, this is still a user to user forum. But with Lion still in development and wide spread known as a bit buggy it might also be wise to throw the same bug report at Apple.

Adobe Bridge cs5 cannot obtain files from this device.

I download photos to my computer using a Kingston downloading device.
Since installing Mavericks the above message comes up and will not carry out the download.
Is this a known problem with Mavericks and is there a remedy?
I would say that using the same device my photos download perfectly on my MacBook Pro.

1. Adobe Bridge CS5.1 cannot obtain files from this device.
Please ensure that the device is connected properly and that the battery is charged and try again.
2.I also get a message telling me that the "disk was not ejected propery" which is not the case.

Thanks Eric
The MacBook Pro is not running Mavericks and sorry about the double post.
I have actually solved the problem and the answer might be of use to others with the same problem.
There is a firmware update that will correct the problem.
It's at
http://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/products?model=fcr-hs3
There is a small catch in that the firmware update can only be done on a Windows machine but I have been told that once this is done it can be used with OSX9 .I have just done the download but I haven't checked this out yet.

Bridge & Photoshop CS5, opening Photoshop files from Bridge

If I open Bridge in Photoshop CS5, & double click on a jpeg thumbnail in Bridge, it will not automatically open the file in Photoshop. Why?
How can I change my settings so that the files selected in Bridge will automatically open in Photoshop when double clicked?

Hi, when you go to Bridge/Preferences/file Type Associations, & you see the box with a list of file formats in bold on the left, you will see a program name or the word 'None' next to each one, & an arrow to click on, to the right of each one.
If you have 'None' written there, it means it hasn't got a program allocated to it, or it may have some other program written there instead.
What you need is to see Adobe Photoshop CS5 in the list on the right, next to every file format that you use.
You could try clicking on the Reset to Default button at the bottom of the box to see if it brings up Adobe Photoshop CS5 automatically.
If it doesn't, or brings up other programs instead, click on each of the arrows on the right inside the box, then hit 'Browse'', then look on your hard disk for the program file for CS5, & select the actual application set up file 'Set-up.exe''.
That's what worked for me.
Good luck!
