osx 10.8.2
iphoto 11
photoshop elements 11
i have set pse as my default editor in iphoto. when i double click a photo to edit, PSE 11 launches, but there is no photo displayed.
i have a similar query in the adobe forum.
and as an aside, where the heck are the picture files after i import them from my camera or phone?

You are selecting the wrong file in the PSE 10 folder as the file to use. It should be the one inside the Support file folder:

Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly

Hi,
I just started using the Adobe Creative Cloud as a trial, in particular the Premiere Pro CC software, since it might be relevant, I am working on a mac (completely updated as of yesterday).
I have a JVC GZ-MG505 camcorder. This device saves the video files on an internal HDD in a file format called MOD. From what I have been able to see when searching on the web, this should be nothing more than a MPEG-2 file.
So, I tried importing some video files into Premiere Pro and to my surprise, I noticed that a whole strip on the right hand side of the image is missing. The original is recorded in a widescreen (16:9) format with 720x576 pixels and Premiere Pro gives me a file with 540x576 pixels. I have tried using the Interpret Footage to change this, but it doesn't let me change the number of pixels. I also tried opening the files in Adobe Media Encoder and I have exactly the same results as in Premiere Pro. However, opening the files in VLC or mPlayer they come out exactly as expected with all the pixels there. Has anyone come accross this problem before or can anyone help me with solving this?
I could try reencoding the files with VLC, but the output file is much smaller than the input file, so I am afraid I am loosing some definition.
So, just to restate my problem, the adobe products open my MOD files without complaining, but for some reason they loose a strip 180 pixels wide on the right hand side of the image.
Cheers

Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly
That is correct: there is a bug in CC. In CS6 they work correctly.
Please file a bug report.

QT does not open AVI file

hello,
I have installed Perian but with Mountain Lion QT does not open AVI file (no audio and no video)
do you have any suggestion?

I am using QT pre-installed in Mountain (should be X)
QT X can only play files using codecs it is programmed to expect to be used in the loaded file container/with the loaded file's stated extension. For example, QT X will not play a "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 file with an MOV or VOB file extension but will usually play the file if the extension is changed to TS, MPG, or MPEG. On the other hand, the QT 7 Player tends to look at the internal header information and select a codec based on what the file says it needs for the actual playback. Thus, the QT 7 Player may frequently play files that the QT X Player does not play.
Besides supporting the the AVI file container, your QT system must also be configured to support the actual audio and video codecs contained in the AVI file and not have a "conflict" problem. For instance, Motion JPEG support for QT was dropped with the release of Lion. AVI files containing MJPEG video thay plays correctly under Snow Leopard will no longer play under Lion or Mountain Lion with additional support. In this case, Perian still provides such support. It also still provides support for DIVX, XVID, 3IVX, and similar third-party codecs commonly found in AVI containers. However, Perian support for such files can become conflicted if you have also installed the actual third-party codecs along with Perian and the different codecs fight over which is to be used for playback. This is why it is important to know the actual codecs used to create files using generic file containers like AVI and MOV and the codec components actually installed on your system, as well as, their potential for creating conflicts.
As to the actual playback of files, there are basically only three options (as indicated by the URL provided above:
1) You can conform the file and/or your system codec component configuration to play your files using a QT player app if possible,
2) You can use an alternative media player app the contains "native" support for the file containera and/or codecs used to create the files, or
3) You can convert the file to a compression format and file container that that is already natively supported by QT-based applications.
Since do not seem to know or are unwilling to identify the specific codecs causing a problem here, the only workflows left to you would be to try playing the file in an alternative media player which contains its own built-in codec support (e.g., VLC) or convert the files to something your current QT system configuration can handle (e.g., use a converter with built-in codec support like HandBrake).

PS CC does not open psdx-files

Hallo, PS CC does not open psdx-files, although I installed the Touchapp-Plugin. In PS CS6 there were no problems.

Did you install the optional plugin in Photoshop CC?
It won't be automatically copied from CS6.

Apercu does not open pdf files

apercu does not open pdf files and crashes

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

JDEV 10.1.3 XML Editor does not load XML file

I am trying to edit a large (300MB+) xml file with JDEV 10.1.3 running on a Windows XP Pro workstation with a 2.8 ghz processor and 1GB of memory. The XML file has application data in it. The file loads just fine into the Oracle database using the XML Developer's toolkit so I don't thing there is anything wrong with the XML.
I'm finding that the XML editor does not load the file. Many minutes elapse, then JDEV appears to simply give up - JDEV is no longer busy. There's no XML data to edit - that window is empty. There are no error messages displayed.
I'm new to JDEV so I need to know if there is an error log file I should examine.
BTW, other XML editors (XML Spy, Stylus Studio, etc) simply run out of memory and lock up the machine - it appears they are tryign to convert the XML file contents into 32-bit unicode in memory, build a list of pointers to impose a DOM-like structure, and then load their editor.

Do you really want to manually edit the 300MB file? how much scrolling will you need to do to get to the last row?
In any case it is likely that JDeveloper also runs out of memory - you can try running the [jdev-root]\jdev\bin\jdev.exe file and see if you get any error message in the log window.

Sending to external editor does not send adjustments

Hi all - having an issue sending to more than one external editor.
I send to a NIK plugin (color efex), apply a fillter and then save.
After that I may want to send to Photoshop.
If I make any ajustments in Aperture (to the filtered file - the new TIFF master) before sending to the second external editor thos adjustments will be ignored.
For example -
I start with a RAW file. I make adjustments in Aperture. All Good.
I send this to Color Efex and give it a cross process. Save.
Back in Aperture i now have a TIFF file (cross processed).
If I then (for the sake of this example) completely desaturate the color (now its black and white) and then send this TIFF to photoshop using the send to external editor command the image in photoshop will be *color* - with the cross processing on it.
If I cancel this and then go back to Aperture and send the Black and White Picture to Colour effects again, it's also not black and white.
In summery the adjustments made after the first "send to external editor" do not carry to the second "send to external editor"
(It should be noted that any adjustments made before the first "send to external editor" do in fact carry to the external editor. It's only the second round that does not.)
Am i looking at a bug here?
Any others had this experience.

Here is an Apple provided tip for working with Photoshop as an External Editor (which by extension currently applies to any use of third-party software used to edit images in conjunction with Aperture).

CS5: double-click on file does not open the file

If Photoshop is closed, double-click on a file will always successfully launch Photoshop and open the picture.
If Photoshop is running, double-clicking on a file will activate Photoshop, but very often the file does not open. It works from time to time though, and that seems to be on a random basis.
Opening a file through the Open command will always work.
I am working with 10.6.3 on a loaded Mac Pro.
Did anybody experience this difficulty? Any help would be appreciated, before I take more drastic measures like reinstalling the software of worse than that. I've already done the usual maintenance operations.

Caustic waltz, while brief, may have hit the nail on the head. If you do not want to continue this thread, you can search the forum for existing posts about Snow Leopard and file-program association confusion. Snow Leopard changed some things and that might be your issue.
More simply, do your image files have extensions? (.PSD, .JPG, etc...)
Hello Marian:
While browsing through my Adobe account, I saw that you took the time to leave a comment two days ago. While it did not solve my problem, I will mark your comment as "helpful" for several reasons. It could have been a cause. And I will add politeness, courtesy and language precision. I'm an old guy and I quite value those elements.
True, Snow Leopard changed changed the way files are associated to applications. Thank God! Here in our small office, we do a lot of cross-platform transfers and finally it works seamlessly. A good description of the new file identification system can be found here.
Now, here are the reasons why Snow Leopard cannot be put at fault in my case:
• If Photoshop CS5 is not launched, double-clicking on any psd, tiff or jpeg file will launch it and open properly.
• If Photoshop CS5 is already running, double-clicking on any psd, tiff, or jpeg file will activate Photoshop CS5 but will not open.
This points at either a bug or damaged Photoshop CS5, or maybe a damaged OS. Don't forget that out of maybe a hundred apps, this is the first time I meet with that problem. Of course, the easier course, but by no means guaranteed to work, is to presume that Photoshop CS5 is damaged or that its installation did not work properly. So I did the following things:
• I deactivated Photoshop CS5 and uninstalled it.
• I ditched all remaining files related to CS5, CS4, CS3, CS2, CS... yes I know, but then you know as well as I do0 that getting really rid of Photoshop is a daunting task. It took me almost two hours, but I am reasonably sure that the cleaning job was complete.
• I reinstalled Photoshop CS5.
Now everything works just fine at least for the time being. Time will tell, of course, but I think that the problem is solved.
Regards

Photoshop Elements 11 Photo Editor does not open.

I needed to do a Win 7 System Restore, and now upon relaunching Photoshop 11, the Organizer will open, but Photo Editor will not open.

Awesome, glad it's working!
Your disc should not be corrupted and I am not sure why it wouldn't have worked. It is always possible that not deactivating caused problems, but I doubt it since you are installing to the same computer. The time you need to deactivate is if you move to a different computer.
You're very welcome!

Aperture 3.5 does not open all files in external editor (PS CS6)

When I select several photos in Aperture (which are parts of a panorama serie for example) and click choose to open them in the external editor (here Adobe Photoshop CS6), only a random subset are opened.
Aperture warns me if I want the (for example) 14 pictures to be exported for edition, I confirm, but I end up with only (for example) 9 photos in Photoshop. The missing ones can be any photos (not necessarily the first or latest).
Note that 9 is not an upper limit, I once opened 23 photos and only had 21 in Photoshop opened.
If I again select those same photos and choose to export them (either as PSD using the same format as with the Editor command, or asking for the original that was created for the external editor) to a folder. Then when I open all the photos at once form the finder (or Bridge) to Photoshop, I have all the photos in Photoshop. So Photoshop has no problem opening the files.
Do you have the problem too? How do you solve it?
For the time being I manually export the files, open them from the Finder, stitch them in PS and reimport the result in Aperture.
A bit tedious... If there is no work around, I will try to fiddle with some automation...
Final note:
PS CS6, Aperture and OS X are all at there latest respective versions (i-e respectively: 13.0.6, 3.5.1 and 10.9.2)

I was just noticing this issue with A2.0.1
Selecting multiple files in A2, only one would open in Photoshop.
I have found that, if when opening files from Aperture, the color setting profile in PS is different than the color tag in the image, such as sRGB vs aRGB, the mismatch warning appears and stops subsequent photos opening.
If the image profile matches the color settings in PS, then all selected photos open from Aperture to PS.

IMac external hhd does not open on networked windows 8.1 pc

Hi there
I hav a 2008 iMac with OS 10.10 and it has three external HHD that are networked to my windows pc. I can see the icons on my pc but when I click on a drive it will not open. In fact it can crash windows explorer and pc has trouble turning off or restarting even logging off. I think I have the correct setting on the mac and pc. I can see and open the shared folders on the mac from the pc but can not open the drives. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Driving me mad.
Thanks for any help

Hi Gottfried,
No, I have not found a solution yet. Because I don't have any issues when I am running Fiddler2, I did some research on that program. On their website, they say the problem (that Fiddler fixes) is usually caused by applications sending the GetResponseStream()
method but failing to call close on the resulting object. The maximum connections-per-host is then reached. But, I don't know if Win7 and Win8 handle SharePoint requests differently - I'm guessing that they do.
According to our service provider, this is a bug in the combination that we are running (Win8 and SP2013 w/SSL). They have more than 20,000 customers and can't get it to work! I have went through their level 1,2 and 3 support teams who all could not solve
it.
I am surprised that you got it to work in your internal environment - do you also have port 80 (in addition to 443) accepting requests? I have no problem at all when using no encryption. On the public site I have a valid certificate and internally
using self-signed. (No different than when I was running SP2010). I have tried different combinations of authentication methods and ordering, but nothing worked.
Hopefully, somebody can provide some insight into what might be going on here, so that you and I can get this working. It has become a major problem in our company and our employees are starting to revert back to alternative services to share files.
