Dust&scratch cs5 win7

I scanned a neg in bw, and it shows small black dots. I tried dust&scratch filter and in the preview the dots disappear, but clicking ok, ps does its calculations and after that the image still have those dots. Clicking undo and redo doesn't have any effect on the image. There are no other layers , tried grey, rgb, 8/16-bit -modes, every time the same thing. In the preview no dots, but final image still has them.

Are you looking at the image at 100% zoom (or higher) when you see the dots go away with the Dust & Scratches filter?
Can you please capture a view of your screen when you're about to run the filter, then again right afterward, then post the images here (using the little camera icon)? That will help illustrate what you're seeing clearly and you'll likely get better help.

Dust & Scratches behaving oddly

I've just started using Photoshop CS5 (2007 iMac 2.8Ghz, OS 10.5.8) after using CS4 and am noticing odd performance from the venerable Noise > Dust & Scratches filter.
I set my parameters using live preview, click OK and wait: the resultant image is all but unchanged. Nothing at all like what the preview was showing me. If I zoom way in on the file I can see changes, but it's as if the settings were all too fine to have had the result being previewed.
If I go back to CS4 the behavior is normal again.
Need help: working on deadline.
Thanks!

Are you viewing at 100% (command-1)?
Because anything else is better not to be considered reliable.

CS6 will not save keyboard shortcut for dust & scratches filter

I am running Photoshop CS6 with all updates on a Windows 8 system. I have several keyboard shortcuts set up that all work fine but when I assign a keyboard shortcut for the dust & scratches filter it will work until I close Photoshop - when I then open Photoshop again this shortcut is gone but all my other shortcuts remain.
I have tried going back to the default keyboard shortcuts and then adding just the shortcut for dust & scratches (I have tried ctrl-F8 and several others) and then closing Photoshop and opening it again with the same results. I was able to add back all of my other shortcuts and they work fine.
For some reason I can assign a keyboard shortcut to anything except the dust & scratches filter.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
Thanks

I had a chance to try the script on a windows 8 machine running photoshop cs6 13.01 in both photoshop cs6 versions 32 and 64 bit and shortcuts seem to stay between restarts.
If in photoshop cs6 you go to File>Scripts you can see that the script is actually listed?
When i saved the script out of ExtendScript Toolkit i named it Dust and Scatches.jsx.
Did you run ExtendScript Toolkit as an administrator before saving the script?
(right click on the ExtendScript Toolkit shortcut (tile) and choose Run as Administrator)
Saved to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts
(cs6 32 bit)
and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts
(cs6 64 bit)
Another possibilty if you can't get the script to work is using an action (Filter>Dust and Scratches) and assigning a function key for the shortcut.

Photoshop Elements 10 becomes non-responsive when using Dust & Scratch filter

Trying to apply the remove dust & noise filter in PS Elements 10. When the filter is applied, the hand tool becomes locked on and nothing further can be selected. All menu options become greyed out. Cannot even close program, have to force quit (running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4). Have already reset all tool options to try & resolve the hand tool locking. Have only encountered problem with this filter.
I've got a bunch of scanned photos I really need to use the Dust & Scratches filter for. Any help would be appreciated!

Macbook Pro Retina Display Pixel / Dust Scratch problem

I have a MBP 15' Retina purchased in October 2012 and last night noticed a number of small white dots on the screen which appeared to be dead pixels, booked into the genius bar this morning and was told that the dead pixels were actually dust scratches where a small piece of dust had got caught between the screen and keyboard when it was closed and had damaged the screen. You can feel tiny bumps if you run your finger nail over the areas so this may be the case but while it may be the reason you'd expect that a $3500 machine wouldn't have a design fault that allows tiny dust particles to damage the screen.
The Genius said that this was a known issue and that while it had been escalated with other customers' machines, the issue is cosmetic and not covered under warranty.
Has anyone else had this issue and what were the /are the steps to getting the screen replaced under warranty given that this apprears to be a known isssue and shouldn't happen to a $3500 computer.
Thanks

This is a load of malarky!!! Do you know how big the dust particle has to be in order to chip the screen. Remember there is a rubber seal that runs the edge of the screen, and this is 1mm in height. So what we are talking about is something the size of a large grain of sand.
Ok, lets say you have this, the sand must be very sharp, in order to chip glass. Secondly, if you press gently on the glass while looking at a light in the reflection of the glass, you will see it distort, right? So that means, even a 1mm piece of dust is not going to "Chip" it.
Ok, lets say, that you happen to drop your wifes 0.2 carat diamond on your keyboard and close the screen. In this case, yes it may chip the glass, but I ask you, don't you think that this kind of protrusion would at least result in a scratch on the aluminium body? What is not known by these guys is that this glass is crystalline. If the manufacturing process doesn't go well, it can sometimes cause fault lines in the crystallisation structure. Not all glass chips are physical. In fact, heating and mild distortion of the glass could cause chips in weakened areas.
I AM 100% sure that if anyone threatens legal action they would replace the screen. Any laboratory low-end microscope will examine the chip and will clearly show the crystal in the glass flaking. Did someone say CLASS ACTION.
I have this issue after having the laptop for 3 days, I AM VERY ANGRY that the twerp at genius who thinks he is very intelligent, tries to fast-talk his way out of things. I am not one to make a scene at the store and dont think this gets us anywhere, but Apple needs to step up and train these nappy-heads about these things.
I mean, I have had laptops for 20 years, I have had scratches, cracks, smirks, plastic burns on the screens, but NEVER a chip in the glass, only time I have seen a chip is on my windscreen, and doesn't that look different? This is one for the courts, I am not happy that I have spent so much on a MBP now and have to live with the fear that the screen can spontaneously crack, perhaps even explode in a mushroom cloud (ok, that one was comedy relief).
I am a very honest person as most of us are here, and the bearded baboons at Genius have no right to call me or any of us liars, granted there are 1% of people who come in any lie, but the other 99% are loyal RETURNING customers, this is why Apple has been successful, not cos of the flarnin (that word is so I dont get sensored,!!) logo! Laptops are portable devices and don't belong behind museum glass. If Apple "Stuffed Up" with this design, that is ok, however they should take a few bucks off their soaring share price and help the consumers who help them succeed. Either redesign the product, do a recall on all your machines, or at least don't be a JE_RK about replacing machines still under warranty and make out that YOUR customers are liars.
The problem with a monopoly is not the company, its the staff who get a rush out of feeling like they are somehow in a position of power, but go home and realise they are only paid $20/h and get grounded for coming home too late.
I say, take action, prove your point, and don't take their nonsense.
(In case you are wondering, this was a rant, mainly at the Genius boys!!! But some good points.... I hope :D)

Dust & scratch removal

Is there a function in A3 for dust & scratch removal - NOT doing it manually, but over the entire photo or selected area? Or, is there a plug-in available, such as the dust removal one for Photoshop?

The problem with the PSE user interface is that it is a high-end painting/publishing/retouching tool (PS CS) with a complex menu & dialog box structure, upon which:
* features have been removed wholesale (curves, scripting, etc.)
* features have been removed partially (color management, etc.)
* features have been added (Variations, Process Multiple Files) resulting in more menus, more modes
* a completely independent application has been unceremoniously glued on (Organizer)
It is, in a word, a MESS.
As I've said before, the technology is great but the user interface is a disaster.
Honestly, I would leave PSE alone and sell it as a "painting" application. Then I'd come out with a new product designed for photographers/snapshooters. I would:
1. take a 'light' version of Apple's Aperture
2. add selections/masking [the nondestructive, resizable, Ansel Adams Zone-based selections/masks in LightCraft's LightZone are very cool!)
3. add simple layers (maybe even the tool-specific layers as in LightZone)
4. and then do usability testing. You know, clicking on text shouldn't just select the layer, it should allow you to edit the text. Jeez, how difficult is that for a consumer program?

In CS5, Win7...go to File, then Open...do you see .PSD thumbnails with preview images?

In CS5, Win7...go to File, then Open...do you see .PSD thumbnails with preview images?
In all other versions of Photoshop, I can see a preview of the image, even .psd files, but with CS5 now, I just see the PSD icons...this again, is when you go to File, then Open... Anyone else see this? In Elements 9, I see the preview thumbnail icon, not generic, same with CS3 and Elements 7, but not with CS5?

Well, I was thinking if others tried on their Win7 system, they could let me know if they get the same result or different...so by comparison I could see if I had an issue with my software, such as if it were standard... However, I did figure it out... It's a 32-bit vs. 64-bit difference. Elements 9 is a 32-bit software, and so is CS5 32-bit of course....so both of those softwares show .psd thumbnails in the File, Open view...but the 64-bit does not...in Win7 64-bit...in case anyone else is wondering...

Dust&Scratches/Masks/Opacity

I'm recently new to Ae so bear with me. I have some dust spots in a footage I need to get rid of. Using the Dust&Scratches effect. Working in two layers. The original and a dust&scratch. Once setting the radius I go into the original and create two masks around the dust spots using the ellipse tool. Using the key frames I change the opacity of the masks. Works beautifully on the one mask but on one of them it changes the opacity of the whole layer. I.e totally blurred or goes totally black. Just can't figure out why changes to one mask should behave in a completely different way to another. Any help sincerely appreciated.
By the way using this way to remove sensor dust is it on of the better ones? Have done a lot of searching but nothing seems very straightforward if the background keeps changing. Want to avoid turning into stills and then back to video as concerned I might loose quality.
Attaching screen shots.
Thank you

Dust scratch

is it possible for a particle of dust to scratch the spot it was on?
just wondering because theres a little white dot on my screen, and it's only noticeable when theres a source of light shinng on the ipod and this "dust" won't move if i blow on it or try to wipe it off
anyone have a similar problem?

Premiere CS5 (win7 x64) won't recognize my Mini-DV camcorder.

I have Premiere Pro CS5 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system.
When I try to Capture, I keep getting the error message: "Can't Activate Recorder. Try Resetting Camera."
the whole set-up worked fine on my XP system with Premiere Pro 1.5.
Extra info:
The Mini-DV camcorder is a Panasonic NV-DS33 (but personally I think it has nothing to do with my camera because I have seen so many threads online regarding this issue and no-one has any decent answer!)
the firewire cable is fine because it works on my old XP computer.
in premiere, if I change the camera to an HDV, then suddenly I can CONTROL the camera, but I can't capture)
Windows 7 (x64 bit) recognizes the Camcorder in the Device Manager (and says it is working properly).
I have tried several other DV capturing softwares (Stoik, Scenalyzer, WinDv). I have even tried my old Premiere Pro 1.5 on my 64-bit system.. and NONE OF IT WILL CAPTURE MY CAMCORDER!
This is very frustrating. I need my new win7 (x64) Premiere CS5 to capture successfully. I have spent a LOT of money on this new system. What on earth is the problem?
(i saw one thread on a similar issue regarding a 32-bit installation of Win 7, and it is marked as ANSWERED! but in my opinion, (from the amount of forums on many other sites) this issue is definitely not fixed.
is there any update to Premiere CS5? or a workaround? or anything else I should know?
PS: it is not an option for me to keep using my old computer to Capture video and then transfer it to my new system. i am passing my old system on to another person.
many thanks

I agree that the "Legacy" FW driver solution should be a stickie, or FAQ. Since Win7-64 was released, it has caused no end to the grief. Maybe Jeff, or Todd will have a better solution to getting the word out.
It was Harm Millaard, who brought that to MY attention, and he's posted it to many, many threads. In nearly every case, it's solved the issue.
Good luck, and thanks for reporting Colin's success,
Hunt
PS - per your suggestion, I just published this "fix" in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum for PrElements.

Extension Manager CS5/Win7/64 hangs and won't open

I am on a Win7/64 running CS5. Yes, it EM worked before. Now it hangs - I have manually (thru AppData) moved the extentions over but can't turn them on becuase I can't launch EM. I have read all of these forums and tried the solutions given and nothing. I do have CS5 working on my Win desktop and my Mac desktop...so I know not only does the software work, but it does work on the Win/64 just fine.
I went back and have tried to pretty much uninstall ALL the OTHER programs that were installed AFTER CS5 when I did have EM working. I have uninstalled over 17 applications. Nothing. I uninstalled everything that is different on my laptop that I don't have on the desktop (that is running fine). Nothing.
I'm a web designer and I have THOUSANDS of dollars invested in extentions for DW. Some individuals have said on the forums that they will just have to live without EM...I can't.
I have gone into the AppData and removed the files that just don't get really removed when you "uninstall" thru the control panel.
I have read about permissions issues...I have not done anything different with permissions from before when it did work. But thoughts on that would be great. I have tried opening EM as an administrator, again, nothing.
ANY and ALL assitance would be great.

Access Denied when saving file - CS5 & Win7

Using Dreamweaver CS5 and Win7... Sporatically, I will try to save my .html file and will get an error saying "access denied" to the .tmp file. So I do a "Save As" to another file name and then the original file literally disappears (is deleted / erased) from my hard drive. No where to be found!
Has anyone else had this experience? Is there a work around?
Godspeed,
Omar

Here's the solution (as I learned from other forum posts):
- Disable the Preview Pane in Windows 7...
or
- Simply "deselect" the file in Windows Explorer (thus deactivating the "Preview" of the file) and try to save it again. The "Save As" dialog will appear and you can save it with the same name.
What is actually happening:
When a file is selected in Windows Explorer and the Preview Pane is enabled, Windows 7 displays the file (and locks it). If the file is also open in Dreamweaver and any modifications are made, the file is considered a temp (.tmp) file by Windows as it is already in use by the Preview Pane (and locked). When you try to save the modified file in Dreamweaver, you get the "Access Denied" error. If you go into Windows Explorer and deselect the file, the file will disappear (be deleted / removed) as Windows now considers it a "temp" file that is no longer being previewed. At this time (assuming you didn't close the file in Dreamweaver) you can try to save it again and a "Save As" dialog will open (since the original file was deleted).
Hope this helps!
Godspeed,
Omar

CS5 Win7 Networking Help Please

I'm a home-based designer who needs nework help. I have CS5 Master Collection on a Win7 (Home Prem) computer which is peer-to-peer networked with 2 other Win computers (98 & XP). Win Exporer has no problem navigating anywhere on the network from any computer. However, Bridge CS5 on the Win7 computer (i5 cpu, 2.7GHX, 8GB Ram) shows "Lock" icons on all network locations; hangs when any network location is selected. Also hangs when launched from within Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign. I've searched these forums and tried various fixes having to do with security, permissions, firewall rules, clearing caches, etc. No luck. Adobe Support won't help me as it doesn't cover "network issues" such as mine. Their enlightened suggestion was to "move the files you want to browse onto the computer where CS5 is installed." Any real suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a programmer but I can usually doink my way to understanding.

Steve— Thanks for your suggestion. I didn't think to remap shared network folders, duh. (And even after Win7 Explorer forced me to do it to become part of network!) Previous versions of Windows allowed me as "owner" (administrator) to see, read, and write out of the root directory and all the other hard drives installed on networked computers. Win7 apparently doesn't or discourages it, even on the older computers, it seems (at least for amateur net administrators like myself). From Win7 Explorer I can and did remap target directories on the remote drives located on my Win98 and Win XP computers. Unfortunately now BridgeCS5 (on my Win7 computer) shows these remapped icons with big red "X"s through them. But these remote directories can be browsed and files manipulated. I still can't get BridgeCS5 on the Win7 computer to open from within PS, AI, or ID. But MiniBridge now works from within PS. If you have suggestions for fixing this BridgeCS5 functionality in AI or ID I'd appreciate it. I'll revisit your knowledge base and forums for this info because I'm spoiled by the way BridegeCS3 works on my WinXP computer. Otherwise I'll find ways to use Bridge outside of AI, ID, and the rest. Thanks again for helping me to get MasterSuiteCS5 to more closely fit the way I work. —Phil Smeiles

Clean up Dust/Scratches on iPhoto Based Pix ?

Background: I have current Mac/iPhoto software and a CanonScan 9000F that came with PSE 8. I plan to scan about 25 trays of old slides and get them organized with iPhoto. The first two trays have been imported to iPhoto events and they turned our relatively well with one major exception. These trays were the oldest ones (40+ years) and they have a good deal of dust and fibers. Is there a way I can export these events into PSE 8 and automatically have it remove the dust, etc from these initial 200 photos? And then import them back into iPhoto?
Are there any documented "how to" procedures covering this subject. Thanks much in advance.

Set up PSE as your external editor in the iphoto prefs and send the photos from iphoto to PSE, or export them to the desktop, use file>open in PSE and reimport them to iphoto as new files.
If you use PSE as external editor, save, not Save As, without changing the name or format and iphoto will keep one edited version plus original. You may need to go to PSE>prefs>Saving Files>On First Save to set this up right.
In PSE try the Dust and Scratches filter, the spot healing brush, etc. Hard to make a recommendation without seeing a photo.

Quicktime Pro or no - CS5 - Win7 64

1. Does CS5 gain any advantage by having
QT Pro installed on Win7 64 system?
2. Are there any codecs included with QT Pro
that are helpful and/or essential for playback
of various AME encoded QT formats?
3. What is the most flexible and least intrusive
multi-format media player that can coexist with CS5?
4. What are the potential pitfalls with k-lite and MP classic?
I have avoided Windows Media Player in XP for years,
and have relied (with PPro2) on k-lite/media player classic,
VLC player, and the free QT player to cover all playbacks.
I know there are recommendations on this forum to avoid
k-lite codecs at all cost, but I have never experienced any
concerns, problems or conflicts while using PPro2 or CS4 (yet).
My objective is to build a lean and uncluttered OS platform
for CS5, but I obviously want to be able to play back all
different format files that can be encoded in AME...
ideally with a single player (if possible).
thanks

Fortunately for most of us, the "opposition" comes from years on this forum, trying to help the poor users, for whom K-Lite (or some part of it), has created an issue. That goes double for most other CODEC "packs." Might be interesting reading to Search for "K-Lite" on this forum and read of some of those problems. Because of those problems, the majority here are a bit "shy," and do not wish to run the risk of exposing ourselves to some of the stated problems.
Like you, I get handed all sorts of "stuff," and also must make it work. First step is to try to talk the client into going back before the WMV, DVD, DivX, etc., but that is often not possible, or meets with heavy resistance (though that often fades, when the resultant quality is displayed . The "impossible" has become the "possible," in several instances).
Some of this "stuff" is odd, to say the least with some obscure, and often arcane CODEC's, but you are correct - at the end of the day, we both have to just make it work. That is where G-Spot (or similar utility), Google and maybe $25-35 on my AMEX card comes in handy. As an example, I have 339 CODEC's on my workstation, and 223 on my laptop (mostly the same ones as on the workstation with few differences). If one works with self-generated footage, they might have 150 (Audio & Video) at the most, and never need the rest. For some of us, it's not quite so cut-n-dried, nor so easy.
I just take the tack of getting only what I need, when I need it, and then passing on the cost to that client. Fortunately, most are not THAT expensive, and some ARE free. Now, the next time that client has similar, there's no charge, and the same for the next guy through the door, as I already have the XYZ CODEC now.
Good luck,
Hunt
