Exporting / Copying settings from ACR Smart Object

How do I export the RAW processing settings from an ACR Smart Object in Photoshop?
If I use Save Settings it only allows exporting a subset of the settings (no spot removal and local adjustments).
If I use Export Settings to XMP it doesn't seem to do anything.
The only way I've found to do it is to Save Image (from the Smart Object in ACR), save as a DNG, then use ExifTool to extract the XMP. Surely there must be an easier way?

I ABSOLUTELY agree...... That's exactly, I believe, how it's SUPPOSED to work.
Except that mine didn't.
I opened a 12.2 MP RAW file.
And made absolutely no changes to the workflow uptions at the time of opening.
But instead of "Image Sizing" saying "Default 12.2 MP", it said "3.6MP"
Resize was turned OFF
Width was 2321 px and height was 1824 px, BOTH GRAYED OUT.
Upon leaving ACR, I had a 2321x1824 file.
Eventually, after wasting another hour screwing around with it, I finally blew away all of Bridge AND the preferences and all that,
and rebooted since the %$#)(*& Adobe CC thing wouldn't figure out there was no more Bridge, and resintalled...........
Now, when I open a file in there, at LEAST it knows it's 12.2MP.
It STILL wants to change the Space to sRGB, which I NEVER use from here, and the Depth to 8-bit, which again, I never use in ACR,
but I can set those back to what they should be...
So, in this case, by using a large enough bludgeon, I appear to have gotten around the problem. Now I'm just waiting to see how soon it screws up again.

New iMac, used Time Machine to Copy Settings from Laptop, Having Trouble

Sorry if this is a common question, but I couldn't find an answer after searching the boards.
My new MacBook arrived three weeks ago. Like a good girl, I've been backing up with Time Machine and an external hard drive. No problems.
My new iMac arrived yesterday. While setting it up, it asked if I wanted to copy settings from a Time Machine backup. I said "yes" (should have said "no") and told Time Machine to copy my laptop settings to my iMac. I did not copy Applications or Documents--just account information.
My new iMac is now a bit confused. It thinks it is a copy of my MacBook (the backup of the iMac is called 'MacBook 2'), and it also thinks I have software installed on it that I don't have installed. Specifically, it is refusing to install a statistical program, stating that "Install has detected the presence of SPSS 16.0 for Mac. Please uninstall the existing version before installing this version of the product."
Here's my question: is there a way I can "undo" the migration that I did yesterday? I certainly wouldn't be losing any files or anything of importance if I could just take it all back.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Chaya

it's probably some preference file in the transfered home directory that was put there when you installed that program on the macbook. You can try looking for that preference file in library folder in your home directory or you can create a new user account and install the software from there.

Copy reports from one business objects server to another

How do I copy all the reports published in my production BO server to my test server. I did this once but can not remember. Is it the import wizzard?

yes you can use the import wizard to export your reports from one server to another server
just open the import wizard, connect to your source server, choose object types you want to export (folders, reports, users,,,,etc),,, then choose the objects itself, then connect to the destination server, and the import wizard will guide you through this process.
good luck

Want to export user settings from Office 2007 on client, to be able to import in Office 2013?

Upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2013. We may need to save the user settings on the client computer, because we are moving some of the systems from 32-bit to 64-bit. How can we export the settings to a folder?

Hi,
Could you please tell us what is included in user setting? Such as the customized Quick Access Toolbar settings, customize ribbon settings, or profile in Outlook?
Generally, we can’t upgrade operating system from 32-bit to 64-bit directly, we need to reinstall 64-bit operating system.
Office 2007 don’t provide the Import/Export button like Office 2010/Office 2013, we can’t export QAT setting and customize ribbon setting directly.
To customize an installation of Office 2013, you can use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) to perform tasks such as the following:
Specifying installation options
Customizing how Office applications and features are installed
Configuring default user settings
Managing additional content: add or remove files, registry entries or shortcuts
Configuring Outlook options: setting the default profile, adding email accounts, and specifying Exchange settings

Generate image assets from within Smart Object

Hi,
When designing for phones I create a large canvas with all screens spread out accross it. Every screen is a Smart Object. To me this has many advantages.
When editing a screen I open the Smart Object. Now I turn on Generate Image Assets. I notice that no resource folder is created.
Seems like Generating Image Assets from within a smart object is not possible.
Is that correct? If so, why isn't the menu option greyed out?
UPDATE: I found that you can use Generate Image Assets from within a Smart Object. But NOT if the Smart Object is part of a PSD. In other words, only if the Smart Object (psb) is a seperate file.
I wonder why.
Cheers,
H

Old thread, but I had the exact same problem. It turns out (on Windows at least), that you can find the generated assets folder for a smart object, but you have to know where to look.
With the smart object "opened" in Photoshop, click "Save as". This shows the location of the current smart object being edited. For me, it was: C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Local\Temp\Layer112112121.psb
And lo and behold, right next to the layer temp file was the image asset output folder with my generated assets in it:
C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Local\Temp\Layer112112121 - assets
You can right-click and "Open in a new window" to get a file explorer window in that folder (see image below).
(Possibly important note: Close or cancel the Save As dialog, we don't actually want to save the layer to a different location.)
This location makes sense, but it does seem to be a poor user experience design. Presumably temp files should output their asset folders to the desktop, just like unsaved PSD files.

How can I copy settings from one account to another on same iMac?

A week ago, my Nik plugin to Aperture and Photoshop crashed the these two apps. I created a new account, and now the plugin works without crashing int he new account. i want to transfer all my settings to the new account. How can I do it?

Create a new folder on the desktop, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide ~/Library/ as the path, move some of the items inside to that folder, keeping track of what you moved, try the plugin again, and repeat as needed.
Moving the wrong item to a different user account will transfer the problem.

Exporting to PDF from Page Server object

Post Author: jdp
CA Forum: .NET
I'm creating a website and currently have all reports exported to PDF utilizing a RAS server, no Crystal viewer. What I'd like to do is utilize a Page Server to view reports in PDF format and still not use the Crystal viewer. I can add the Viewer to the page and hide it but that seems cheesy to me. I'm trying to look through the documentation to see if there's an example of something similar but am not having much luck. Is what I'm attempting possible?
I'm running VS 2k5 with BOXI R2 client installed locally hitting a BOXI R2 SP1 server.
Any feedback would be appreciated!

Post Author: Ted Ueda
CA Forum: .NET
Unfortunately, there's no .NET equivalent of the COM object ReportExportControl. So that leaves either (1) RAS, (2) schedule the report to PDF, wait till the schedule succeeds, then stream the PDF out and delete the scheduled instance, or (3) the cheesy method you point out.
Sincerely,

How to export security settings from Acrobat Pro

I'm transferring my Acrobat Pro to a new computer. Is there a way to export the security settings (passwords) that I have stored and then import them into Acrobat Pro on my new computer?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
The paths you are looking for are:
Win XP
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name¹>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\<ver²>\Security
Vista \ Win7
C:\Users\<user name¹>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\<ver²>\Security
¹The user name is the same as the login name
²ver is the major version (e.g. 8.0, 9.0)
Note, if you don't see the folders in the Windows Explorer try the following:
Start Windows Explorer
Select the Tools > Folder Options menu item
Select the View tab
Select the Show hidden files and folders radio button
Click the OK button on the Folder Option dialog
Good hunting,
Steve

Copying settings from one OS X user to another

I exported my settings from Illustrator CC. I then tried to import into Illustrator CC 2014. It says it does not recognise the file type ?!? What do I do to migrate my settings?

I have read through posts on this subject. I have looked as this to be the solution to have the same workspace that I had in the CC version, in the latest CC 2014 version. It hasn't worked.
I'm now sad =(

Extracting an .xmp sidecar from an ACR-edited RAW smart object layer...

Hello all. Given the following situation:
Several thousand TIFF files, each containing two RAW files embedded into separate Smart Object layers. The RAW files were named with sequential numbers prior to being composited into the TIFF files via a script, and the TIFF filenames correspond to those of the embedded RAW files. The RAWs have subsequently been edited in ACR from within the TIFF files.
I've done a little digging, but I can't seem to turn up answers to several related questions:
A) Should I wish to re-extract the RAW files from the smart object layers with the edits that have been applied, is there a method of PerLayerMetdata that can be used to extract a complete .xmp sidecar that will be recognized by ACR and associated with the exported RAW?
B) Should I wish to change the sequential-naming of the parent TIFF files, is there any method to correspondingly change the filenames of the embedded RAWs directly within the smart object layer? In other words, using PerLayerMetdata, can the filenames of the RAWs be changed without exporting the RAWs using a different filename and then replacing the contents of the smart object layer?
C) I would ultimately like to be able to save the embedded RAWs as DNGs with their ACR edits applied, if necessaray. Given a way to accomplish A), above, it would be a fairly simple to export the RAWs and associated .xmp files and then run the DNG converter on the lot. However, does anyone know of a way to save a DNG directly from the smart object layer?
Any ideas or pointers to existing documentation are much appreciated.

Thank you kindly, Michael. I see now that the example I was viewing had done exactly what you describe, writing ACR settings into the SO layer's metadata at the time of embedding. I was only looking at the portion which later accessed those settings using PerLayerMetadata, and I had mistakenly assumed that CS5 was automatically embedding xmp data in this manner, now, when opening or placing a RAW file as a SO.
I don't see a direct way to get at the ACR settings of a camera raw file embedded in a smart object.
This is sort of what I was afraid of. They're in there, somewhere, but I'm having no luck figuring out how to access them.
If the ACR settings for a RAW smart object are, indeed, not exposed to automation in some manner, I think I must change my workflow such that either: A) No edits are performed in ACR after object embedding; or B) the RAWs are converted to DNGs prior to smart-object embedding so that the ACR settings can be exposed in the exported file.
