Editing and saving a locked file

I can't seem to find the answer to this Q in the existing threads so perhaps someone could give me a simple answer.
I have a WP blog but one HTML page. The .index file has a green tick beside it and when I edit it and try to save to remote server it says it is locked and doesn't save.
How can I unlock it and remove that green tick.
This is the only file in my list that is locked and I didn't lock it.
Thanks

The check in / check out was enabled which I had to change then also delete the .lck file
Thanks

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).

After the last update I lost a lot of documents I had edited and saved in my tablet. Any option to recover them? Now I can only access the documents of the cloud.

External editing and saving

For some reason pictures that I have edited in photoshop are no longer being saved to aperture. Before when I finished editing and saved an image it automatically went to the place where it was filed in aperture before I edited it. I am sure I have changed no settings and suddenly it stopped saving properly. I don't know how to get it set up to save the way it used to. Can anybody help? I have a project due and I can't seem to get past this.
Thank you.

This is probably not going to be any help, but just in case...
Are you at any point in your Photoshop editing work saving the file with a new or revised name -- intentionally or otherwise? And then not saving to a separate Finder file from which you can subsequently import that "new" (from Aperture's perspective) image into your Aperture Library, as either a Managed or Referenced file (depending on your workflow)?
I ask only because I frequently find myself creating a whole new file from versions of images I've sent to my External Editor (i.e. Photoshop) from Aperture -- an example being when I create a Photomerge. But also sometimes I end up wanting to save two different versions of the file while still in Photoshop. For those situations, I've created a folder on my Desktop called PICS TO IMPORT, and it's to that folder that any of those new or "Saved As" PS files get sent. Then, back in Aperture, I import those new PS files, (in my case using the "Move Files" option so they are placed into the correct sub-folders in my MASTER IMAGES folder, which my Aperture Library then references).
The only thing I have to remember (and which I occasionally forget when I'm in a hurry) is to navigate to that "PICS TO IMPORT" folder in Photoshop's Save dialog BEFORE saving the new/revised file for the first time, otherwise it will be saved by Photoshop to the default location, which is deep within that MASTER IMAGES folder (wherever the files reside which Aperture used to create the original Exports for the External Editor). That means when I return to Aperture, I can't see the new PS file, since I still haven't officially imported it yet.
Whereas if I just send a jpg from Aperture to my External Editor, and simply keep saving that new .psd version "as is" in Photoshop (no changes or revisions to the file name), then every time I flip back to Aperture, all my Photoshop revisions (up to my last save in PS) are reflected in the .psd file now residing in a Stack right next to the original jpg which "gave birth" to it.
Again, I've no idea if any of this is even germane to the problem you're having, but I hope maybe it might at least spark an idea.
Good luck!

Way to edit and save .AC3 audio files?

Anyone know if there is a way to edit and save .AC3 audio files in Audition 3?

Every time you open any coded file at all in Audition, you lose quality if you resave it in anything other than an uncompressed format. With most formats, what is even worse is saving them in a different compressed format, because you end up with twice as many different coding artefacts.
What you need to understand is that all of these formats are distribution formats, not editing ones. The basic principle is that you work in an uncompressed format until the last possible moment - ie, distribution. And that, ideally, is the only time you use a compressed format at all. So if you want to use something that's compressed, you uncompress it once, and don't recompress until you absolutely have to.

XML Creating, editing and saving! ;D

Hey!
So, here's what I want to do:
When the users loads the Flash File, I want the ActionScrip to create an XML file that says:
<id="000000" tutorial="no" name="000000" coins="3000">
Now, I want the flash file to see that the user hasn't completed the tutorial.. and if it says NO it should load: tutorial.swf
Then, once the tutorial.swf end, after the final button is clicked I want it to edit the XML file so that tutorial="no" is replaced with tutorial="yes" and it loads 'user.swf' And when the FlashFile is reloaded, it checks that the tutorial="" says yes, and it skips out tutorial.swf and it goes straight to user.swf..
If it's not clear I'll show it below:
Load tutorialcheck.swf
If tutorial="" says no load tutorial.swf
If tutorial="" says yes load user.swf
Load tutorial.swf
If tutorial is complete, on final button click edit XML and say tutorial="yes", then load user.swf
Thanks!

I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? Create a personal cloud?

I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? To create a personal cloud?
Can someone advise as to whether i can do the following:

I am looking to have all my files in one place as i am hopelessly disorganised. I know the online clouds are a good solution (used Dropbox at work and uni for 3 years) however i am wanting to create my own 'dropbox/icloud' at home. So whenever i get back home with my laptop, any work i have been working on whilst out that day is updated to the timecapsule, and then ultimately as i turn on the other devices, they update to those newer versions of the files. Please tell me that the 3TB time capsule i have can do this, otherwise it feels rather overpriced as a wireless storage device?
Another note (to those in the know) If i am to be working on large files (REVIT/SOLIDWORKS/KEYSHOT/CREO/AUTOCAD) - is the timecapsule connection good enough to support editing and updating these files?
I know i may be asking a question that many have before, but as a bit of a technical novice I wanted a clear-cut answer to my specific circumstances. Your help is greatly appreciated.
(*can i use this WD hard-drive that is connected to the Time Capsule as a back up? so that the time machine back-ups/any back ups are also backed up onto this one? can the WD be a backup for the TC?)
Kind Regards
Joe

Editing and saving RAW files as JPEGs

Hi there
I'm using Windows XP with PE5.
I don't know if this is a PE5 or my PC problem. I shoot using (Canon) RAW format. These pics I then edit and save in either PNG or TIFF. However, I don't seem able to "save as" JPEG (from PNG or TIFF) in that when I select "save as" I do not get the JPEG option in the drop down list of available file types.
I originally got an error message stating "PE5 was either in use or there is an error on the hard drive". PE5 was definitely not in use elsewhere.
According to the PC's manufacturers tech support team, I will have to restore the PC which obviously I wish to avoid!!!
Can anyone help with this please?

The JPEG format does not support 16 bit images. You need to convert to 8 bit first.

I use pages to draft forms that i repeatedly use in my business. Last week i drafted a legal document and saved to my file. now i get message that it won't open without newer version of pages but i have the latest version whats up??

I use pages to draft forms that i repeatedly edit and use in my business. Ex: letterhead, envelopes, and legal forms. I recently drafted a legal form
for a client. saved it and then reopened and printed the next day. now when i try to open that form, ( or letterhead or envelope) i get a message that
it wont open and that i need a newer version of pages. but my pages software is up to date. Whats up with this??

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Where are my photos in Lightroom after I have edited and saved them in Photoshop?

I'm using LR and Photoshop CC. When I export a photo from LR to edit in Photoshop and then save it in PS and close the file why doesn't the saved file appear next to the original file? I know it's in Lightroom somewhere, but I always have to close LR and reopen it before the edited file will show up in Lightroom next to the original file with the same keyword. What determines where the file will be located within the list of files with a particular keyword. It seems to depend on which external editor I use. Sometimes the edited file is not shown with the original until I close and re-open Lightroom, sometimes it will be at the end of the list of files with that keyword and for some external editors it will immediately show up next to the original file.

Anyone looking? Or has everyone given up on solving this problem. Apparently, most don't have this problem but no one knows how to solve or why it happens. Others have had this or very similar problems and no one has found an answer. Adobe just ignores my queries about this as is normal for them.
When I select photos in LR and Export to Photomatix Pro to create an HDR photo the saved result appears immediately next to the original files in LR. When I select the photos in LR and go to Photo > Edit in >Merge to HDR PRO in Photoshop the resulting photo does not appear next to the original files even though LR says they are in the catalog. After I close and reopen LR they will be there next to the original files. Photoshop is the only editor where I have this problem. When I use any other editors such as those by OnOne, Topaz, Photomatix Pro, process a file and save the new files shows up immediately in LR right next to the original file. When I process a file in Photoshop and Save it I notice the filmstrip in LR jumps but the saved file from PS doesn't show itself until after I close and reopen LR.
AAARGH!

Editing and saving under PS touch Android

Hi,
I have a number of pictures of my students which I take with my tablets front camera in the classroom. Usually these pics are lacking of colour and contrast and I want to make upmthese pics using PS touch.
Pictures are located in /storage/sdcard0/androclass/images
I can select a picture in my galaxy note 10.1 file manager and open it in PS touch. I can also adjust colour contrast and the like. What I cannot do, however, is to save the picture in the very same location from where I have opened it.
Thanks for your help!

Hi.
I`m haveing the same request. Please make it possible to export a picture without having to hassle with projects an exporting. I understand, that its your philosophy, but I need a completely different workflow: I don`t sta r t with an empty project, but I go through my picture of the last holiday an want to edit some of them. So from my gallery app I choose "edit" and from there use photoshop touch, which is great btw. Then I just need to save it with the same name an path. Maybe you could inculde a button like "fast export without saving project" and use the first imported image as a suggestion for the naming and directory. Btw this coukd also be a nice feature for the actual exporting function...
Please do it!
Greetings from germany.
