Dreamweaver/Photoshop Bug?

My System:
- Dreamweaver 8
- Photoshop CS
- iMac Intel Core Duo (OS X 10.4.8)
My Problem:
- I would like to edit the html in one or more of the
existing template files used by Photoshop CS's automated "Web Photo
Gallery" plugin. I have done this for two years with much success
on my old Windows PC system. When using the PC I would:
1) locate an existing template file (like "IndexPage.htm");
2) edit the html in FrontPage;
3) save the new file(s) to a new template folder; and
4) run the automated Web Photo Gallery plugin in Photoshop.
As I said, I've never had a problem -- until now.
- Now that I have migrated to an iMac, I am using a newer
version of Photoshop (CS) and instead of FrontPage, I now use
Dreamweaver 8. But get a load of this -- if I so much as "OPEN" one
of the existing template files that came with Photoshop CS using
Dreamweaver 8, and then "SAVE AS" over the existing file (no edits,
just an OPEN and SAVE), Photoshop's automated Web Photo Gallery
plugin creates web pages with "missing" html. I kid you not.
- Below is a sample of what the code in a "good" index.htm
file looks like vs. the code in a "bad" index.htm file. Remember,
the only difference between the template files used by Photoshop CS
when creating these web photo galleries is that the "good" template
is the original file from the installation CD, and the "bad"
template was that same file OPENED and SAVED using DW 8.
Good index.htm code:

Any ideas as to what is causing this error? I've tried a
number of things to help me isolate the issue. I assume that this
problem has something to do with the way that DW 8 saves html
files, or perhaps it has something to do with the way Photoshop CS
reads html files. The thing is that the two template files are
IDENTICAL when you compare their code -- what gives?
Thanks in advance.

DWD,
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my post.
Based on your response, I think that you -- and perhaps others --
might be unclear as to the nature of my issue with Photoshop CS1
and DW 8, so I'll quickly reivew it again.
1. Photoshop CS 1 includes an "Automate" plugin called "Web
Photo Gallery."
2. This plugin includes several "templates" which generate
various web ready photo gallery formats when selected.
3. These "templates" are in fact a collection of html files
-- grouped together by template -- which Photoshop uses when
creating web ready photo galleries (once you've run the automated
plugin.)
4. These "template" files may be editted -- Photoshop's own
user manual confirms this fact -- and I have done so in the past
with much success. This gives me much more control over the final
web gallery files created by Photoshop (i.e. size & resolution
of images & thumbnails, gallery layout, CSS formats, etc.) than
is achievable by using the DW 8 web gallery function you mentioned.
5. I have never had an issue creating web photo galleries in
Photoshop using template files that I have "customized." Just to be
clear -- I customize the template file BEFORE I run the plugin, so
this is not an issue of my not being able to edit html files
GENERATED by Photoshop's plugin (I think.) Instead, it's an issue
of Photoshop creating web photo gallery files that are missing
random bits of code whenever I run the plugin using a template that
I have customized.
6. But here's the thing -- if I so much as OPEN a template
file in DW 8 and then SAVE AS over the original file, Photoshop
will create web photo gallery pages missing random bits of code,
even though this "editted" template file has EXACLY THE SAME CODE
as the original template file. When I revert back to using the
original template files, Photoshop generates web photo gallery
files with all of the code intact - no problems at all. What is the
deal?
7. I have only encountered this issue using Photoshop CS1 and
DW8 on my new iMac. I have never had this issue when using
Photoshop 7.0 and FrontPage 2000 on my Windows PC to achieve the
same end.
Is there some "invisible" code that DW8 inserts every time
you open and save a file? I cannot SEE a difference between the
code, file name and file extension of the original template file
and the one I opened/saved in DW8, so why on earth would I get two
different file results when running the "same" template through the
same plugin? (See the "good" and "bad" code example in my original
post.)
Help!!!!!

Photoshop bug report site is broken (using wrong site)

I have a pretty serious Photoshop bug to report -- something that was supposedly fixed in 14.2.1.
I took the time to go to https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform as usual when reporting bugs.
I wrote out the nature of the bug, and all the steps to reproduce it.
But the CONTINUE button is non-functional. At the moment it is IMPOSSIBLE to report bugs to Adobe.

Hi,
We ask that bugs for Photoshop get reported here now:

I'll take a look at your other thread about pasted AI files.

ACR 4.5 Did Not Fix Photoshop Bug Crashing

I posted this in June
Bug: Multiple Files Open ACR Crashes Photoshop...
Buko, "Bug: Multiple Files Open ACR Crashes Photoshop..." #1, 10 Jun 2008 2:57 pm
I just went back to my normal workflow with ACR 4.5 (after leaving it because of the problem) and got the new Photoshop crash report after working on about six files.
The workflow: .nef> Bridge> ACR> 16-bit aRGB (moving sliders Black/Mids/Exposure usually generates the crash)> resizing to 500 pixels and Save AS .psd (leaving the .psd files open seems to be the switch that causes the problem)
I can repeat the problem consistently:
Drag folder containing D200/D300 .nef files into Bridge, and going to work as described...if I don't leave my .psd files open I don't have a problem, if I leave them open as I work, I usually get the crash after 5-10 files.
I emailed crash reports to CC back in June,

UPDATE: I pulled the 12gb of macramdirect ram and tested with only 2gb OEM Apple ram (to rule out the 3rd-party ram per Jeff Schewe's theory I duplicated the crash within 15 minutes. My money remains on the BUG theory, but will swap out the OEM ram and continue...if that doesn't work I will install ACR 4.6 and retest...

Photoshop bug: Smart Objects overwriting other Smart Objects when edited and saved in Illustrator

Experiencing issues when working with a large number (over 200) vector smart objects brought into Photoshop CS4 from Illustrator.
Things seemed to be going along nicely; if I needed to edit a Smart Object, I could double-click it, it would open in Illustrator and then I could edit and save it. Return to Photoshop and the Smart Object is updated. Swell and dandy. The issue started happen when I hit a large quantity of either vector smart objects (remember, over 200) or the many layers and groups within Photoshop (must be over 500). When I would double-click, open, edit, and save the vector Smart Object, the Photoshop Smart Object I was working on would update AND another/several other Smart Objects would update as well. Which, of course, would ruin the artwork, as suddenly I was seeing several instances of the same object. If it hadn't have been for ForeverSave, I many not have recovered the work.
It's rather hard to isolate the issue to see what's causing the problem. Here are some of the possible causes:
Running Snow Leopard on Mac
Many, many Smart Objects in file, perhaps enough to ruin the naming convention and cause bugs when Photoshop referenced the temp file
Many, many Photoshop layers and groups
Illustrator vector files copy+pasted from several different files (affects the naming convention perhaps?)
Some groups/layers in Photoshop are duplicates
To help make it a little clearer, you should know:
Running the most updated software / OS (that is until CS5 comes out)
Smart Objects showed no error until I had actually opened, edited, and saved the referenced temp file (i.e. VectorSmartObject1.ai)
Files saved and worked on from Dropbox (network folder)
Not looking for much of an answer to this question; I just wanted to see if anyone else had come across this bug. Also, Adobe PLEASE look into this as you begin testing for the next update. I have the file(s) if you need to replicate the issue. My best guess is that the naming convention of Vector Smart Objects has an odd character limit so when Vector Smart Object 200.ai is saved, Vector Smart Object 2.ai gets overwritten.

Have you tested this with Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5? (the current versions, that came out last month)
If you duplicated a smart object layer, both layers refer back to the same file content. So when you change the file, both layers would be updated. That is intentional and explained in your manual. If you didn't realize this, that could explain what you are seeing.
If you placed separate files, then they should not be updated at the same time, because they will refer to separate files.
Yes, Smart Objects only update when you save the file.
You would need over 4 billion smart objects in one document to get Photoshop confused about which one refers to which file. And since the layer limit is much less than 4 billion, I doubt that is the cause.
There is no naming convention involved. We don't limit the filenames (except to platform standards and to include a file type extension).

Photoshop bug: cs6 and cc: interface freeze, no reaction

hello,
we discovered a potential bug or issue in photoshop:
under daily working conditions, 8h per day, during the last months/year i can observe the following behavior:
suddenly, at any action, the photoshop interface (all palettes, windows, everything) freezes and doesnt react on any mouse or button command. can wait for minutes, nothing happens.
found workaround: switch to finder by clicking with mouse pointer into the finder desktop,
and switch back to photoshop > interface is back and reacts again, everythings fine.
condition of bug: very annoying but can live with it so far through my workaround
frequenzy: several times a day (up to 20 or 30 times per day)
- reproduceable on mac osx 10.7 + 10.8 + 10.9
- reproduceable with photoshop cs6 and cc
- reproduceable on 3 different macs at 2 different working places so far
- mac pro 2006, mac pro 2012, imac late 2013 with each mac 48GB RAM or at least 32GB RAM (imac)
- reproduceable with 8 bit and 16 bit files, .psd and .psb
any idea?
thanks

If I remember correctly, and that is not always the case, I think that is a bug in Apple OS. Currently the cursor just dissapears and you have to do what you say to get it back.

Background colors dreamweaver/photoshop

When I use the background color #FFFACD in a photo in
Photoshop and then place this photo on a page in Dreamweaver with
the same background color, the colors don't match exactly. The
photo's background appears lighter. Any ideas on how to fix this
problem?
Here's the link:

The right float image has this problem as well as some of the
smaller photos on the left.
Thanks!

I am getting different values from the right float image from
the page using
an independent color picker. Here's what I get:
bg of picture #ffffce
bg of page #fffacd

Menus items keep graying out in Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Word -- ***?

I recently installed Snow Leopard on both my laptop and iMac, and now nothing seems to be working right.
The biggest problem is that several applications seem to have their menus "grayed out" whenever I try to open or save a file, rendering the application useless.
For example:
* If I try to open a new file in Dreamweaver, all the menu options are gray.
* If I try to save a document in Word, all the menu options turn gray.
* I can't "save" or "save as" ANYTHING in Pages, although the menu items don't turn gray. Instead, nothing happens, and the file never saves.
NONE of this was happening on Tiger.
I bought a brand new version of Dreamweaver and did a clean install. Same thing with iWork.
WHAT is going on? This renders several of my key applications essentially useless if I can't save files or work with any of the menu items.

Also, to try to fix the problem, I created a new Account and have been using that.
This fixed the problem with some applications where I was having the "grayed-out menu" dilemma, like Photoshop, but didn't fix it in the other apps.

Hilfe :( Bei allen Adobe Programmen (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Flash [ETC..]) kommt ein Fehler -1 :(((

Hallo liebe Community,
wenn ich Dreamweaver, Flash Photoshop etc. installieren möchte kommt dieser Fehler:
Habe das mit neu starten schon oft probiert habe Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit Version und es klappt nach mehrmaligem Neustarten immernoch nicht.
Kann mir vielleicht jemand helfen? =)
Gruß dhentzsc

One last thing... I have seen a post that states that future versions of CS are 64-bit. That may only apply to some
RAM intensive apps like After Effects and Premiere and the optional 64-bit version of Photoshop.
Also, have you tried running the installer as Administrator? That may solve the issue.

Colour matching, dreamweaver/Photoshop CS5

I'm trying to match colours used in Dreamweaver and PS CS5, so that if I make a faux background using Photoshop, it is the same colour as the colour I use in Dreamweaver. For some reason, even if I use hex codes, the colours look different when I preview in a browser.
Also, I can't use the PS CS5 eye dropper tool to sample colours outside of Photoshop. As soon as I move the eyedropper tool outside of the PS workspace, it becomes an arrow pointer again.
Can anyone advise where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
Sally

GIF for line-type graphics with limited colors
JPEG for photos or other rich complex graphics
PNG-24 for graphics with alpha transparency (masks)
Then it's a matter of selecting what file-size and optimization you're looking for.
Smaller equals faster but small can also mean lower quality (less colors for GIFs, more compression on JPEGs).
And turn off "save as sRGB" in Photoshop unless you know how to use color profiles and use color management systems.
For even more color madness: Some browsers support color profiles, Safari being one of them, whereas previously, web graphics didn' even include color profile metadata . This meant your computer just had to take a best guess at what color to display and which is why the 256 web-safe colors became such a huge thing - because at least those colors displayed well regardless of which computer or screen you were using. This is now no longer a problem as most displays support sRGB color space which is kind of a "lowest-common denominator" color space profile.
Anyhoo... that's probably more information then you need. Hope its interesting and useful.

Basic Dreamweaver/Photoshop Question

I understand that you can build a layout in Photoshop then cut up the layout into pieces to bring over to Dreamweaver. But then what? Do you set them as absolute/fixed/floating images? I have wotked with CSS, HTML and know basics to Photoshop. Thanks.

Use Photoshop to create and optimize images only. Save them to a folder inside your DW Local Site folder.

Dreamweaver/Photoshop

i got a free website template to try out at this link:
http://www.interspire.com/templates/view/117
i am unable to figure out how to export the psd file from PS
to DW like they did. When you open there index.html it looks exacly
the same as there psd file. Do you have to remake the text
boxes?

>>When you open there index.html
I assume you mean "their". If so, don't do that. Don't ever
generate HTML
from Photoshop. Just save or export the individual images you
need and
construct ALL HTML in Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver-photoshop 7

I am going to take over updating of our web site and

No, in fact you don't even need Dreamweaver, if you know and
understand html
and css - you can do it all in notepad if you want.

Dreamweaver & Photoshop start in background

Yep, they just start in the background in the task manager. The only solution I have found to work is to start the program (Photoshop or Dreamweaver) several times then once it pops up, kill the rest in task manager. For Dreamweaver, I can kill just one of the extra processes and it will close the rest for me. PS doesn't do this. I have to stop each extra occurence of Photoshop. This is a big waste of time for me.
I have CS3 - Dreamweaver and Photoshop seem to be the only ones having this problem since I reinstalled CS3.
Thanks a bunch,

Can't open new file - Where do I file photoshop bugs?

"Could not complete your request because of a program error." popups up when I try and File -> Open. My only work around has been to close and re-open photoshop, constantly.
2012 Mac Air OS, 10.10.2, Photoshop 2014.2.2 (20141204.r.310 x64). This did not happen before I updated photoshop.
** Where does one file bugs or feedback for photoshop? or does Adobe not care? **
I can't find a better location. I saw someone else posted a similar discussion questions Dec 30th, so obviously this is not being fixed. I find not opening new files to be pretty major function regression. If I open like 10 files when I first open photoshop it's ok, but then when I forget I need one more file, I see this error, the programs only been open 15mins, I've barely done anything to trigger a program error! I have to close and reopen everything. Making a new file is possible.

If what you see were "a bug", everyone would see it. If it's unique to you, especially if you have not yet deleted and recreated your Photoshop preferences, you cannot call it "a bug".
That error message suggests there may something wrong with your Photoshop install or some other fault on your system,
Don't cry wolf prematurely, lest Adobe really stops paying attention to you.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.
