Edges of logo in AI, EPS or PSD are not crisp (PE4, Illustrator CS2)

When importing files of the following types (AI, EPS and PSD), the logo I have placed still looks slightly pixelated/fuzzy. Same thing goes for any title slides I have created in Illustrator and imported into PE4. I did outline the text before saving to the different file types.
I read this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/390820?tstart=30 and tried the suggestion but it didn't seem to work for me. I am working in 16:9.
Any suggestions? I have a logo at the beginning and end of the video, and it is smaller and overlay throughout the video (watermark).
I am placing them at their proper size (example, for the overlay, I created the image in Illustrator, small and to the bottom right so that I didn't have to scale or move the location of the image once in PE4).
Many thanks in advance - this board has been invaluable to me.

I may have misspoken in that thread, and not used the correct terminology. I have no idea where I got the 960x540 number from, TBH.
The original size was 1920x1080, H264 codec.
I used SuperC to make them same size (just verified in WMP), using the FFMPEG encoder, which uses the CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7) CODEC.
I used the preset for NTSC-DV-Widescreen for each project.
When I Interpret Footage, it tells me the PAR is square for the video clips.
I did scale everything to 102.5 percent to get rid of the very thin black lines to the left and right of the clips.
So I'm guessing that everything is OK with the files, project presets, etc, as the Flash output looks great. The only issue is the title slides that I want to drop in.
So, I guess my issue now is, what size (dimensions) file do I create is PS to create a title that is properly sized for this project? Do I go in and create a 720x480 file with the 1.2 PAR? That seems to give me a more correct looking size? Wow, I feel as though I have completely over complicated this question!
Print was so easy - this is my page size, I need a bleed, outline the fonts, I'm done!

Thumbnail picture for .EPS or .PSD

Moved from PSE 3 to 5, some questions...
Question 1) Under windows explorer, when looking at the contents of a folder in thumbnail view, it does not give a thumbnail picture for .EPS or .PSD (Photoshop Elements 5.0) files, which is a real problem. If you open an .EPS with PSE5, and save it to .EPS, PSE5 ask you for a .TIF image for the thumbnail. This worked under PSE3, but does not under PSE5 (i.e. Opened and saved to .EPS with TIF thumbnail still does not display under Windows Explorer).
Is there any way to correct this? Any utility that would allow all file formats to be viewed in thumb nail?
Question 2) In PSE3 under the File menu, there was an option like "Browse Pictures" (I don't remember exactly the name), and it was, in effect, a windows explorer that did display the thumnails of not PSE3 .EPS files and .PSD files. This made up for the issue in question 1. However, I cannot find this option anywhere in PSE5. Has it been dropped? I it has been dropped I will probably reinstall PSE3 and use it for that feature alone.
Thanks!
Bob

Bob,
See this thread for, at least, PSD icons.
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?224@@[email protected]
I don't remember anything about EPS thumbnails coming up. Installing the dll as described some years ago when PE3 came out restored my PSD icons. Not sure if it works in PE5.
The "Browse folders" option in PE3 Editor's File menu was dropped in PE4 and has not returned. One of several reasons I'm still on PE3. :)

Placed images in exported PSDs are pixelated

I'm making large prints (40x60) from Illustrator files, and the print plugin requires Photoshop. I am converting the AI file's Document Color Mode to RGB, then exporting to PSD as high-resolution 300ppi, using artboards.
When I export the AI files to PSD and view them in PS, the photographic elements appear pixelated at 100% whereas the text & graphics are smooth and high-res. I've checked the linked photographic files, and they are not pixelated. So what I've had to do is export editable PSDs from AI using the "Write Layers" option, open the files in PS, and then re-place the photographic elements so that they are no longer pixelated.
FYI, Anti-Aliasing is set to Art Optimized (Supersampling). The AI and PS files are both sized to 40x60, and the PSD is opening as 300ppi.
Any idea why this is happening?

If you are linked to the exact same photographic elements that you are replacing manually, then this should not be happening. Check your links palette that you do not have any embed icons such as the top link (looks like an old MacPaint icon).
If you just want flattened images, try saving your .ai files as .eps, then opening them in Photoshop and saving as .psd.
There is a pixel limit when exporting .ai files to .psd, and with 40" x 60" @ 300 dpi that you should have gotten an error on, though they may have increased that limit in CS6.

Layered .psd artifacts in .pdf from Illustrator

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/852893?tstart=0
I'd posted this in the PhotoShop forums, and Chris recommended I post it here.
We placed layered .psd files onto vector art in Illustrator, then saved it as a high-res .pdf. Sometimes we get CMYK edges around the .psd file, and they weren't in the original art. Saving the .psd as a .tif and replacing it in Illustrator fixes this. Any way we can get the .psd file to work without getting the edges?
Thanks for any feedback!

No--it's a small fuzzy outline around the layered .psd file (not an effect in Illustrator, but I was referred to the Illustrator forum when I posted this in the PhotoShop forum).
It appears in the .pdf, and it's generated when I make the .pdf in Illustrator.
Here's the link to the original thread--that'll show pics of the effect:

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

Why is my .psd file not rendering correctly in ae

Some layers of the .psd document are not rendered correctly. However they are imported.
The strange thing is that when I first move from Photoshop to Illustrator, save it as an .ai file it is rendered properly (in Ae).
I am kind of clueless as to what is causing this issue.
Kind regards,
Jelle

Okay if more information is needed, i'll provide. However you may disregard my initial comment about illustrator. It flattens the photoshop layers so I do not have any flexibility in After Effects. In other words, my main question remains: why is my psd file not rendering correctly in ae?

Changes made in LR 1.3 to psd files are not reflected in ACR 4.3, Bridge 2.1.1.9, or Photoshop CS3

I have repeatedly imported several psd images into LR 1.3, made changes in the develop mode, and saved metadata to file manually in addition to having the auto write metadata option on in LR and ACR. Any changes I have made in LR are not reflecting in Bridge previews or in ACR or Photoshop. I don't believe I should have to utilize the write to xmp options (even though I have been) since the files in question are psd and the metadata gets written directly into the file. If I delete the photo from LR, and even delete the LR catalog (new user trying to make it work with 1 photo at least before importing all images) and re-import the psd to LR it appears with the changes and can backlog in the history panel to it's original state upon import into LR. I would have to be in LR though to know that anything was altered as the other Adobe programs will not display the changes.
If anyone has any help - I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,
Ann

PS CS3 (updated last week)

I don't think the problem lies in the name. LR is after all meant to function as a data base of images and be a companion program to PS - with PS doing the heavy editing lifting. I do understand that PS is a pixel editing file and LR is not. I like the idea of the non-destructive editing that LR has to offer and for a lot of image "developing" I prefer LR's interface to ACR.
In my humble opinion, I just think that the Photoshop family of products should all be able to read the same metadata. If I am starting in LR with a psd file (with layers) and I continue to process the image further in LR and save the metadata - therefore saving the changes - I want to be able to open that same file (not another copy) in ACR, PS, or Bridge and have those changes reflected. The only way to do that currently is to export the file and when you do that you lose the PS layers and the LR history panel or another way around it is you can have edit copies of the same file. If at a later date you wanted to go back and change something, you can't just pull out a layer in PS or undo a history state in LR and with the multiple copies of essentially the same image you end us with any editing history scattered amongst multiple files. I already keep 2-4 (original, psd, jpeg print, jpeg web) files for one image which I think is more than adequate. Which is why I find the current set up so frustrating. For now I have just settled for exporting jpegs so I can see the changes.

Adobe Photoshop CC Reset and Most PSDs are corrupted

I purchased a subscription to Adobe Photshop CC 2014 (2014.2.0 20140926.r.236) about a month ago and installed on a new Dell Precision 2850 laptop. I've been using Photoshop consistently every day and have had no issues - until today.
My Photoshop froze and I had to hard reboot my laptop. When I restarted, my Photoshop had "reset" (all my preferences were gone), I had to reintall custom fonts on my system to be recognized (before reopening Photoshop) and about half of my prior PSD files won't open but instead show the error "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document".
I know from prior posts (in years past) that any open PSD files during an Adobe crash can cause corrupted PSD files, but any reason why PSD files edited over the last few days would show that error?
Thanks in advance for any help or direction. As I mentioned, this was purchased a few weeks ago. Should I plan to have this happen and lose most of my files each month?

As Chris writes bad RAM can cause all sorts of problems. Ram failures that are not detected can cause corrupt files. System freezes system reboots and all sorts of strange failures. Run some memory stress test several times. Normal RAM failures can be quite intermittent. Remove RAM and re-seat RAM. Workstation and Servers use ECC memory. ECC RAM detect memory failures and can ever recover from a single bit failure. RAM is very reliable however the more rams you install you increases the number of places ram can fail.

Creation of previews/thumbnails of PSD files not working in v3.0.1

I'm using Aperture 3.0.1, PS 4 to edit photographs.
My workflow will be the usual, Photo > Edit with Adobe PS, in my Aperture browser thumbnails/previews will be created for the PS file.
When I save my work in PS, the thumbnails and previews in Aperture are not being updated properly, show horizontal magenta/cyan lines, noise, clearly some of the layers are not being processed, some layers are not being resized to the right preview format, it's a complete mess.
I tried to delete/update previews, no difference.
It's an absolute shame, this worked perfectly in Aperture 2.1 and is absolutely necessary in my workflow. I'm seriously thinking to go back to 2.1.
Anyone with suggestions to get this working? Thanks

Having some similar problems and unfortunately some different ones as well...
I would love to know any tips you might have in identifying the "faulty" PSD files that Aperture 3 cannot deal with or more like the the PSD files that FAULTY Aperture cannot deal with (they worked fine in 2.1.4, Preview, iPhoto, etc).
I ask because the problem I have is that as soon as I hit one file that never finishes generating a thumbnail for, then I am done since everything else just queues up behind it and I can't diagnose anything else. As I said in an earlier post, HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO INCLUDE USEFUL DIAGNOSTIC INFO IN THE "ACTIVITY WINDOW", so that we could tell which images are being "processed" (or more importantly not being processed).

White background is shown when a psd file is inserted in illustrator

A psd file with transparent background is inserted into a AI file, I found that a white background is shown when printing. Afterwards, I checked this problem occurs on true postscript printer only. All other type of printers are not affect.What's the problem on it?

Check the overprint options. I think we had a proper post in the windows AI forum last week regarding a similar issue with AI's bitmap effects (drop shadow, I believe), so go looking for it.

PSD Spot Color Channels in Illustrator CS4

Hi all.
Screenprinter here. Trying to migrate my way into CS4. No such
luck so far.
Way back in Illustrator CS2 I used to be able to place a PSD file with Spot Channels,
and have each channel show up as a separate object in Illustrator. This was incredibly
useful, nay, necessary for creating/laying out separations and adding vector work.
From what I've read and tried, this is no longer possible in CS4, which leaves me running two versions,
which is no fun.
I suppose my question is, has anyone come up with a workaround for this, or does the newest
release support this type of operation? From reading the boards, I've found that I'm not nearly
the only person who needs this feature, and so would hope that there is an alternative to
running CS2 still.
Us poor lowly screen printers get dumped on by nearly all Adobe products in terms of usability
(ever shoot the stock reg marks from photoshop?) give us this one feature!

In Illustrator CS2, the individual Spot Channels from Photoshop used to become Opacity masks when imported.
In Illustrator CS4, they are not converted to Opacity masks. Your spot colors are still there - look in the Swatches panel. There is a Spot channels image in the layers panel with 100% Multiply blend mode applied to it.
So it is not correct to say that it is no longer possible to bring spot channels from Photoshop into the Illustrator CS4. See the comparison snapshots below.
Hope this helps.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

DCS EPS 2.0 files not printing spot colors

I know that PMS colors have been changed with CS6 using lab color as the basis to preview colors, but I've been getting this problem printing DCS EPS 2.0 files from Photoshop in Illustrator. It does not matter if I print in CS5 or CS6 the same error occurs. I'll try to explain the process I'm using the best I can.
I create a multi color spot channel DCS EPS 2.0 file in Photoshop utilizing PMS colors. I then link that image into Illustrator and add custom registration marks and labeling to print. When I bring in the DCS file the spot colors appear in the swatch palette and are labled as spot colors, however they either come over as CMYK or LAB color in the color mode when you double click the color swatch. This is where it gets weird. When I print the file, the first spot color with a cmyk color mode will print the registration mark and the custom label I made in Illustrator, but it will not print the DCS part of the image. If the next spot color is in LAB color mode it will print as well as the third color that is in CMYK color mode will print. It seems to only effect the color being printed before the LAB color and then doesn't have an issue after that. My fix has been to manually set all color modes to either CMYK or LAB color and that solves the problem, but it seems like a bug becuase it's only an issue effecting the DCS file and not other elements in illustrator that have the same swatch color applied. For the record I've done prints with 2 printers and a pdf printer and they all have the same issue.
This may be something that cannot be fixed, but I hope my bringing it to light will help some people realize why some of their spot colors aren't printing.

No... Believe me, I suggested, and would almost always suggest high resolution PDF for any printing. Like I mentioned, I've basically always printed with PDF's but, the company he's getting printing done through apparently requires EPS. I tried another set of settings when saving, so we'll see if it works and they accept it.
My main question was why the file was coming out black and white after I save it when it's blatantly in color - and reopens in Photoshop in full color.
