Editing sound in CS3,,,?

I tried a search here for 'sound' and it came up with no results! So I'm sorry if this has cropped up before.
How do other folks edit sound in Premiere CS3?
I've been editing mine in Pro Tools for ages, but sometimes after importing into Premiere I'd like to tweak a level, or simply line up an audio effect and I've found CS3 to be really clunky and my efforts are completely hit and miss. I'll swear it was easier in earlier versions.
Have I missed something? The Adobe help file is rubbish. Is there an on-line tutorial somewhere? It really is about time I got to grips with this.
(Is CS4 better..?)

There are
several tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how audio works in Premiere Pro.
Cheers

LR 2.1RC - Still No Dialog Box w/ "Edit in Photoshop CS3" Option

I downloaded Lightroom 2.1RC today and installed it with reserved enthusiasm, hoping that I could finally get the options popup box to display when I choose "Edit in Photoshop CS3" after right clicking a photo. I still have the same problem I did w/ 2.0: after right clicking a photo as mentioned above, specifically a RAW file, and choosing "Edit in Photoshop CS3" from the popup box that appears, instead of getting the options list where you can choose whether to open a copy of the file with lightroom adjustments, etc. it just exports the raw file directly to photoshop without converting it to my chosen format of psd. I've also tried setting the conversion file format to tiff and this didn't work either. I get an image on the photoshop desktop that has the .cr2 file extension appended to it. Apparently no conversion was done by lightroom. I'm running the following:
Pentium 4 3.0 GHz
WinXP SP2
4 GB RAM

Thanks for your quick reply, Jeff. If I understand your explanation, what I'm experiencing sounds like expected normal behavior. However, that doesn't explain why the options box comes back when I choose Photoshop as an additional editor and go that route.
I remember getting the options dialogue box when I chose "edit in Photoshop CS3" in Lightroom 1.4.1. Have they changed the process used to send an image to Photoshop from Lightroom in v2.0?
I did happen to pull up a post from another user who was having the same issues I describe here and this is the response he got:
"KED, this is fixed with PSCS4, due out soon. CS4 was the first to have such integration and to get it the provided 10.0.1, So it is an evolving dance between the two. This is a CS thing, not a LR one. PSCS, needs the right hooks for the pass off to happen, AFAIK, and the come more completely with CS4!
Don"
Sounds like the issue may lie on Photoshop's side of things?

Photoshop CS3 doesn't open or error occurs, when you Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Lightroom 2

Problem: When you try to Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, Photoshop CS3 doesn't open, or after Photoshop opens, you see the error message, "Photoshop could not be launched".
This issue is currently being investigated. At present, there are two possible areas that might be causing this issue. Corrupted metadata or a corrupted catalog, or Photoshop CS3 has not been updated to 10.0.1, or the update did not apply correctly to the application.
We are working for a permanent solution for this issue.
Workaround: Please refer to this Adobe
TechNote for further information.

Lightroom and using the Edit in Photoshop CS3 Options

Today, I installed Lightroom v1.1 and Photoshop CS3 v10.0.1 I have an issue...Using Lightroom, I import a photo (JPG) into LR Library. Then, I right-click the photo and select the option to Edit In Photoshop CS3. This opens a window within Lightroom and there are three available options concerning What to Edit. Two Options reference Edit a Copy and One Option references Edit the Original. The two referencing Editing a Copy always says Lightroom cannot prepare the file for editing and that the file cannot be opened. If I select the last option to Edit the Original, that photo is brought into PS CS3 for Editing.
This is also the situation with files TIFF and PSD.
This is also the situation if I use a different Photo Editor other than PS CS3.
I have read the user manual and if I read correctly, the Two Options which do not work should also work. Or does my thinking need correction?
I would appreciate someone helping me with the understanding of this issue.
Thanks.
James

Thanks to you both. I do appreciate your responses. Please keep them coming.
I think Judith has a point.
I believe I should be able to Import a JPG from somewhere (HD, Floppy Drive, CD Drive)into the LR Library and then call upon Photoshop CS3 to Edit that JPG. If I am not incorrect, when reading the Lightroom Documentation, I see where this action is supported.
The action is: Right-Click a JPG (also TIF and PSD as well) in the LR Libary. From the menu presented, select Edit in the Adobe Photoshop CS3. A new Window appears from which to select either of two Edit a Copy Actions (with LR adjustments or without LR adjustments), I alway receive a Warning Window saying: Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\My Pictures\photo.JPG (or TIF or PSD) for editing. It will not be opened.
If I select Edit the Original, the photo is brought into CS3 for editing. This selection is the only one which work. I wish to point out that the Copy File Options are grayed-out with the Edit Original Selection. And, the Copy File Options are NOT Grayed-out with Copy Options.
In summary, if Copy File Options available, the JPG (or TIF or PSD) will not be prepared by Lighrooom for editing in CS3. My Copy File Options show TIFF and PSD pnly; no JPG. If I read correctly, I cannot Copy a JPG for editing into CS3. What I do not understand is if I have a TIFF or PSD in the Library, the Copy Option still fails to execute. The point John has made about RAW requires me to look into that aspect. I need to know more about that.
Can anyone right-click a JPG in the LR Libary. Then select Edit in CS3. Then use either of the two Copy Functions Selections for the action of that JPG being prepared by LR and brought into CS3 for editing?
This action will not work for me.
I do plan to update my version soon.
All replys and suggestions are welcomed.
Regards,
James

Why does Lightroom color not match when editing in Photoshop CS3

I just started Using Lightroom 4, the only version of lightroom that I have used. Short version, saves me heaps of time. But I went to edit more in photoshop and noticed that the color is dramatically different. I have Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1)and the color space is ProPhoto to match lightroom. If I make edits in lightroom, say removing dust spots, it shows in the photoshop version. It seems that on the shadow side is where it really shows. My workflow would be to import as original RAW in lightroom 4 (canon 1d mark II) and go about editing. Right click to edit in Photoshop CS3, and this is where colors go crazy. Then if I save the file with no edits done in Photoshop and compare side by side in lightroom, they are completely different. What is causing the drastic difference?
These are screenshots where in the left screenshot the original image is the dark image and the lighter is what it looks like when opened in Photoshop. The compare in lightroom on the right screenshot is what it looks like when I saved the file from Photoshop. So how does opening in Photoshop, then hitting save change the image? If i make the edit in lightroom then export the jpeg and open in photoshop, I get the appropriate color, exactly the same as my original lightroom raw.
My external editor settings in lightroom are tiff, prophoto colorspace.
photoshop preferences are to preserve embedded profiles.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, when you "Edit in" Photoshop CS3, it should give a warning dialog that says the version of ACR in Photoshop isn't compability, with the option "Open anyway" (won't work well) or "Render in Lightroom" (which should be fine). Or, if you've created your own "Edit in" preset, you should get the option "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments".
So long as you've chosen "Render in Lightroom" or "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments" (depending on how you've edit up "Edit in...") then colour should be OK.
Colour options in PS should be something like:
Check all the "Ask when..." options, just to make sure you get warned of mis-matches. And I suggest the RGB policy should be "preserve...".
And the final thing: to be sure of no colour mis-match, you need a calibrated/profiled monitor (with a hardware tool like Spyder, ColorMunki, Eye-One etc). When there isn't a monitor profile containing a colour space (which needs a hardware tool, generally) then different programs can make different assumptions and display the same image differently.

"Edit in PS-CS3" not working

Since I installed LR2/2.1, when trying a "Edit in PS-CS3" on a CR2 raw image, PSCS3 opens up, but with the "Open as" window dialog opened up, instead of the image. JPG´s and PSD files behave correctly, though. If I do go ahead and locate the file on the "Open as" dialog, and complete the PS edit, and then "Save", LR doesn´t notice it, and I need to "Import" the new PSD file onto LR. Obviously, LR and PS are not talking to each other.
Tried exporting to 8-bit, and also tried completely uninstalling and re-installing both PSCS3 and LR2.1, with no success. Adobe tech. support couldn´t help either. This is a most annoying bug.
Tried on LR 2 & 2.1. PS is 10.0.1, ACR is 4.5, on a Vista desktop.

Sorry, what i meant by user accounts is this.
On my Imac, i've created 2 user accounts. User A and User B. when I log in as User A and use lightroom and CS6 everything works fine. When I log in as User B, I have the issue with lightroom not opening raws in photoshop. Both users are using the system applications.
Ah, OK so I assume the admin account works, the other doesn't? Have to say I'm not savvy enough to understand what Photoshop/LR need in terms of items in the main account to make this all work. I might have to try that test on this end as I have two accounts too. I use the 2nd for trouble shooting. I suspect the primary account has something, somewhere in the user Library installed by Adobe that is accessed where it might not be in account #2.
If one account works, the other doesn't, we have to pinpoint what files are missing from the account that doesn't work.

Editing in Illustrator CS3

hi there,
im having trouble right-clicking and object and editing it in CS3
i just get a pop up that says "Editing in CS4"
Does that mean only flash catalyst is only compatible with CS4?
also,
an eyedropper color tool would be nice!

Yes, "Edit in Illustrator" is only supported with Illustrator CS4. However, it would be nice for Catalyst to detect that case and tell you...I'll file that as a bug.

Edit in Photoshop CS3

Normaly I can highlight multiple photos then Edit them in PS via the "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS£" option, but now, when i highlight multiple photos it either only opens one in PH or none. I use the Edit Origonal button because with the other two options it seems to shrink the photo and therefore the border I add becomes to big with my useuall Action. Does anyone know why it is doing these things??
Plase need help on this.
Dan

Lee Jay, I want the 2nd to do the exact thing the first does. As best I can tell, I have them setup identical and the first computer is not doing creating/saving files with a -Edit.tif in the file name.
In any event, my bottom line is I want to choose "Edit in Photoshop CS3", have the file open in CS3 ready to edit, but not create a new file on my hard drive with a "-Edit" in the file name. I don't want anything automatically saved on my hard drive until I choose to save in CS3, and will likely save as a .jpg.
So how can I accomplish this?
Apologies for any confusion trying to explain this.

Edit in Photoshop CS3 Issue

I have one computer where if I do "edit in Photoshop CS3," the file opens in Photoshop and the file name shows as a <image#>.CR2. I can then save it as a jpg or whatever, and the added file shows up in my Lightroom catalog. Perfect!! On my other computer, when I go through the same steps the file opens in Photoshop as <image#>-Edit.Tif. And not only does it open this way (-Edit.Tif), but it automatically saves this image on the hard drive and adds it to the catalog regardless of whether I proceed to save in Photoshop or not. This is driving me crazy, because it is saving multiple files and eating up hard drive space for no good reason. Can anyone help? I've checked preferences, etc. 100 times but must be missing something. My "Edit in CS3" preferences are TIFF, sRGB, 8 bits, 250 resolution. The "Edit Externally File Naming:" at the bottom of the Preferences page has "Custom Name" beside Template and nothing in the Custom Text line. Help! Thanks - Mark

Lightroom - edit in Photoshop CS3 problem

Hi All,
I'm running Lightroom 2 on a MacPro. When I first installed it all was fine with 'edit in' function, which I had configured to PS CS3 my primary external editor. Later, as a test, I added an additional editor - Photomatix - just as a test more than anything else. I subsequently noticed that when I then tried to edit in CS3, still set as my primary editor, I was no longer shown the 'edit options' window i.e. 'Edit a copy with LR adjustments', 'edit a copy', edit original'. Instead, the original file would open directly in PS with none of my LR adjustments! I have now had to set CS3 also as my additional editor to get around this - when set as additional it shows the prompt.
Does anyone have any ideas about this behavior and how to reset LR so that it will prompt me again when I try to edit in my primary editor? I'm guessing this must be a bug with the current version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
Dave

>Dabow:They are all RAW files that I'm sending. The fact that I also have PS set as my secondary editor and from there it prompts me with the edit options window proves that it's a fault with the primary editor slot.
The primary editor slot is designed to behave differently than the secondary editor slot. From everything you have said it appears to be acting exactly as designed.
The primary editor slot, which is always photoshop.exe, is designed to send RAW files directly to Photoshop after applying the develop adjustments made in LR2x. Thomas Knoll said it best in another thread discussing this exact same issue:
Thomas Knoll, "LR 2.1RC - Still No Dialog Box w/ "Edit in Photoshop CS3" Option" #3, 26 Sep 2008 7:19 am
When you use the secondary editor slot, even if you select Photoshop.exe, those special hooks built for use with Photoshop.exe will not be used and this is by design. By placing Photoshop.exe into the secondary editor then you guarantee the old, i.e. LR1x, method of accessing an editor is used. That 'old' method activates the options dialog.
To sum it up:
*RAW via Primary Editor slot (always Photoshop.exe) = no options dialog.
*RAW via Secondary Editor slot (even if it's Photoshop.exe) = options dialog.
*non-RAW via any editor slot = options box

Resolution when editing in PS CS3

Hi,
Is there a way to change the resolution to 300 ppi from 240 when I choose "edit in PS CS3"? I can do this when I choose export, but I can't find it for the edit option.
I need 300 ppi res images for printing files and want to do final edits in PS.
Thanks
Anne

All this does is "tag" the image file with a number. The actual resolution (the number of pixels per inch) is only relevent when sending an image to be printed at (for instance) a Photo Lab - and only then if they insist on the fle being 300ppi.
When printing to your inkjet (from Photoshop or Lightroom) all you need to be aware of is that the resolution at the finished size is between 150 and 480ppi.
Interpolating an image - by that I mean upsizing or downsizing by altering the actual pixel dimensions - will almost always cause image degradation due to the fact all the original pixels are replaced by new ones. Certainly it is bad practise to interpolate an image more than once. For this reason you should always leave an image at its native size until you are ready to prepare a copy of it for it's final destination.

Client Supplied AVI files from Flip Camera--Can't Edit in Premiere CS3

A client handed me a DVD-ROM disc with video footage he shot on a Flip camera.
The footage appears to import with no errors, but when I drag it to the timeline, I am presented with the "no" icon (O with a slash through it).
Apparently CS3 only sees the file as audio and I can drag it there.
VLC Media Player will play both the video AND audio portion, so I know the files are complete. It is just Premiere that can't deal with them.
Before I tell the client I can't take the job, is there anything I overlooked that would make these Flip camera AVI files editable in Premiere CS3?

Here is one of the ARTICLES that Harm mentions, from the PrE Tips & Tricks sub-forum.
There is also a very recent post to this forum on using the Flip material. I think that I, Jeff and probably Harm commented in that one. You can filter your Seach by People and use any one of us. I'd start with Jeff Bellune and look for the more recent dates.
Good luck,
Hunt

Lightroom photos edited in PS CS3 & saved on desktop, cannot be imported into iPhoto or resized in M

Hi,
After editing photos from Lightroom in Photoshop CS3, I saved them on the desktop (Mac, Leopard 10.2.5). With these saved photos I find I cannot:
Import into iPhoto or
Resize in Mail (large, medium or small) - they stay the same size.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Caroline

It is too big for mail. -From CS3 -File> Save for web & devices and use this copy for mail.
Better from LR -Menu-Photo>Edit in Adobe CS3. Do the works. Menu File Save-save picture to original folder if dialog opens Click red dot and edited pict appears on LR next to original one-The edited picture should be export... This opens a dialog -a copy will be send to a folder Name it and give it a location ( To Mail ) (Desk)-From File Settings chose Jpg and sRGB ,size W640 H640 and 72 pixels-check copyright water mark if you have one- Minimized Embedded Metadata-From Post-Processing pick Mail Alias and EXPORT.
If you don't have a mail alias go to the folder where it was exported and drag the picture right into the Mail Icon on the dock or any open mail-now u can use the sizing from mail.
Enjoy Conrado Henriquez

Mac powerpoint 2011. Can't I edit sound effects

Mac powerpoint 2011. Can't I edit sound effects? The slides won't move as I have ordered them because the sound effect lasts longer. Previously (in Office) I have been able to trim the size. This throws off the entire presentation. Any ideas?

If you're still looking for the iLife Sound Effects, they've been moved. In fact, they're downright impossible to find unless you know where they've been hidden.
They're now stored inside the iMovie app itself. To access the files, go to the Applications folder and right-click on the iMovie app icon. Select "Show Package Contents", twirl open "Resources" and scroll down. You should find sound files in three folders: iLife Sound Effects, iMovie Sound Effects, and iMovie Theme Music. I recommend that you NOT move any files out of these folders, but simply copy them to a new location.
Hope this finds you well.
Cheers!
