Externally edited files not displaying properly in Aperture

I've edited some pictures in my default exteranal editor PS CS3 to take advantage of layers and some filters. When I see the thumbnail in the stack or when I try to view it in a bigger view window it looks as if one of the PS layers is acting like a mask and I can only view part of the image through the mask window.
I've tried resaving the file in PSCS3 and even making some small alteration so it is an actual new file but it's the same thing? It's a bummer because I've done a lot of work on them and would like to view them along with my other photos.
Does anyone else have this problem?

From the way you are describing the display issue this sounds like a bug that I have been screaming at Apple about for about 9 months. The bug is in CoreImage and effects everything in OS X that uses the coreimage library to display PSD files.
The issue is caused by having ANY saved alpha channels in an image, these are either created manually by you or automatically by saving a selection. Check the PSD in photoshop, click the channels tab and look for any channel that is not part of the color model itself, if one is there it is causing the display issue. If you do not need this channel then just delete it, if you must have it for some reason the work around is to load the alpha channel into a blank layer layer mask and then get rid of it. If you need it back reverse the process. Bottom line if you have a save an alpha channel it will display all wild and crazy everywhere in OS X that uses core image.

DW8 files not displayed properly in DW CS3

Any help will be greatly appreciated in the following
question:
I've been using Dreamweaver 8 successfully in creating and
maintaining several websites. However, when I try to use the newly
purchased Dreamweaver CS3 on HTML files previously created on DW8,
the files are not displayed properly (all elements are jumbled up
together in the "Design" view). But, when I do a "Preview in
Browser", the pages are just fine.
Has any other DW user had similar experiences and if so, any
solutions?
Thanks for any help out there!

DWCS3 is much less tolerant of code mistakes than was DW8,
and your symptoms
suggest that this may be the cause of your problems. Do the
DW8 pages
validate when you go here -
http://validator.w3.org?
Can you post a link to some of these pages?

Link externally edited files to the original, like Aperture does

This is one thing I really like about Aperture - when you edit files externally, Aperture keeps track of them, and keeps them associated with the original. That little bit of housekeeping is a very nice touch.

From the way you are describing the display issue this sounds like a bug that I have been screaming at Apple about for about 9 months. The bug is in CoreImage and effects everything in OS X that uses the coreimage library to display PSD files.
The issue is caused by having ANY saved alpha channels in an image, these are either created manually by you or automatically by saving a selection.

OSX 10.7.2 Nikon NEF files not displaying properly in finder cover flow?

Since installing Lion, the finder in cover flow mode no longer displays hi resolution previews of Nikon NEF files (but works fine with PSDs). Has anyone else had this problem?

iPhoto is fully updated.
I do not have Aperture installed.
I also use a Canon 400D dslr. I have no problem viewing Canon's RAW files' previews in Cover flow mode.
But my NEF files from Nikon are the ones that appear in low resolution. Canon RAW files appear perfect.

File not displaying properly when launched

Hello, I'm using Cp6, Windows 7, Flash 11.9 and have a question. I've created a cptx file for an overall tutorial. I've inserted a video (Mp4) that I careated with Cp6 and published as an Mp4 file. I inserted it via Video>Insert Video and chose Event Videof
When I publsh the overall tutorial cptx file which is SCORM 1.2 enabled I get the expeced set of files in the zip folder. I tested playing this tutorial in SCORM Cloud, IE, Chrome, and FireFox with success. The overall tutorial plays as expected and the video plays as expected.
When I handed off the zipped published files to somone to load in their LMS, everything works fine except when the Mp4 file is played, it launches fine, displays the first screen fine, and then continues to play however all of the screens after the first screen appear almost transparent. And I believe the file the LMS people are loading is the Index_SCORM HTML file. They said that's the one they upload to their LMS.
I have looked throughout Cp6 for a "setting" that would cause this "dimming" effect starting on screen 2 and do not see anything.
Here's a sample of the code the LMS people sent. They think it cold be because of this opacity setting or value.
How is this opacity setting triggered in Captivate 6? If it is this, any suggestions on how to resolve it? Do you think this is what's causing the MP4 video to start dimming out on slide 2? Again, this doesn't happen on any of the other files in the published folder such as the SWF file and it does not happen when I test the entire published zip folder on SCORM Cloud.
Thanks a ton!

If you SCORM package as published from Captivate works perfectly well in SCORM Cloud then the issue is most likely with your client's LMS or the way the people administering it have loaded the course.
In any SCORM complian LMS I have worked with, the file that the LMS wants to look at first is NOT the index_SCORM HTML file. It's the imsmanifest.xml file. That's the file that tells the LMS what assets to load and how the links in the LMS's SCORM Player TOC should be set up. The user should be launching the SCORM package via the link in the LMS TOC. My suspicion is that your LMS is not launching the content correctly and some of the required JS files are not being loaded.

PDF file not displaying properly.

I have a pdf file this is being creating in outside software. The file displays perfectly fine in adobe 11. However when i open the file in Acrobat 9 certain pieces are missing from the file

David ,
The file on the right side is accessed in Adobe Reader.
The file on the left side is accessed in Adobe Acrobat .
Both are different software.
Does this happen with this PDF or any other PDF as well?
Which version of Acrobat are you using?
This screenshot would unfortunately help us recognizing the error .
It would be great if you could share the PDF with us so that we could figure out what' going wrong.
Also ,where and how is the PDF created?

Swf file not displaying properly on webpage

Flash Player version 9.0.115.0
Website designed with Dreamweaver 4, Flash 5
IExplorer version 7.0.5730.11
Windows XP Pro
When I preview (using IExplorer 7) in Dreamweaver 4 and
Dreamweaver 8, the swf file looks fine, however, when I go to my
website page, the swf has a white background instead of the green
background it should have.
I do not know if this is an IExplorer 7 problem, MSN Explorer
problem, or flash player problem. My husband has IExplorer 7 and
the Flash player 9.0.115.0 on his computer and it does the same
thing. The computers at our computer centre are using IExplorer 7
and MSN explorer, but I think the flash player is 8 (not absolutely
sure on that - will have to check when I can get there). When I go
to my website there, the swf files look as they should. The site I
am talking about is
http://dodgecoveartsguild.com
The coding I have for one of the swf's file is:
codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
width="225" height="75">
<param name=movie value="star.swf">

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="225" height="75">
</embed>
</object></div>
The fla/swf files are at the root directory of the site
How do I fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

How do you know if your table and column attributes are correct?
If I put a static graphic in the Flash file area, it looks fine.

Lately pdf files from the Web do not display properly; what is wrong and how can I fix it so I don't have to use IE?

I am a professor and frequently need to open pdfs of academic journal articles from electronic databases. Within the last two or three weeks, when I try to do this using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf displays and the rest are blank. In addition, a bar appears across the top with the message "This pdf file may not display properly." So I have had to switch to Internet Explorer to open the files and do my research. What is going on and how can I fix it so I can open pdf files from the Web in Firefox and have them display properly?

My question is simple - why would you put an application in production that has a lot of bugs? To replace a good and steady Adobe product? My customers will believe that I put a pathetic fallible form online. They are not sophisticated on computers so I just tell them to use IE. Ugh
I must agree with pgwebgirl!

Compressed PDF file is not displaying properly in Windows 8 Reader app

Hi,
We have compressed a PDF file using some third party library. The compressed file is displaying properly, when we're opening the file with ADOBE reader. The same file is displaying blank, when we're opening the file with Windows 8 reader.
Can anyone help us to solve this issue?
Regards,
Kamaraj P

Hi Puneet,
Thanks for your reply.
I have shared the skydrive link of PDF files which are not opened properly with Windows reader.

Flowers.pdf is not displaying correctly and Tiger.pdf is displaying as blank in Windows reader. But both are displaying correctly in Adobe reader.
We have used LeadTools 14.5 library to compress the pdf files.

Fonts not displaying properly in Creative Cloud files

I just noticed that fonts are not displaying properly in my Creative Cloud files. The strange thing is, they continue to display correctly in files I uploaded prior to release - it's just in files I upload now that the fonts are reverting to some generic display font.
For reference, here is a file uploaded before release:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/7ba1e1dc-993e-4f85-bf2d-7ec4e099929e
And here is the same file uploaded just now:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/82f1ed16-8f8c-45f5-9127-791f08ad9ec9
The display problem also applies to downloads of the newer file as a JPG, PNG or PDF, although the fonts are still present in the downloaded original file. With the older uploaded file, download as PDF is not available (presumably because this was a release feature), but download as JPG and PNG outputs a file with the correct fonts intact.
This is a serious problem, because it makes previews inaccurate as well as making the download feature almost useless. Was it perhaps an unintended side-effect of turning on download as PDF?

On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.
https://creative.adobe.com/file/2d6d788d-01e4-488d-90b8-46823f2017e2
This is all very strange, because they did appear in a previous version of this very same file:
https://creative.adobe.com/file/dae50071-9596-44ce-b525-3f52663f8cca
Could it perhaps be related to the strange font behaviour?

Elements Organizer 8 - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide

Hello:
Elements Organizer - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide on Full screen. What's the problem? Wrong codec?

Because WMV's can contain a lot of flags, like DRM, they can exhibit odd behavior, indeed.
Usually, AV files will display in their native resolution, i.e. in their set Frame Size/Aspect Ratio and with their set PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but sometimes those flags are missed, or are altered by other programs.
Remember, WMV's are designed to be streaming delivery-only, and are not intended, or designed to be edited. Most NLE's (Non Linear Editors) will allow them to be edited, but will require extra processing to do so. As is mentioned, WMM is designed around editing that delivery-only format, but most others are not.
There are many other formats/CODEC's, that ARE designed to be edited by the vast majority of NLE's, such as DV-AVI Type II's.
The best workflow is to NOT bring WMV's into the mix, unless one is using WMM exclusively. Converting those to an easily editable format/CODEC will always be the best course of action.
Good luck,
Hunt

PDF not displaying properly in Acrotbat

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with a document I have created in Photoshop not displaying properly when opened in Acrobat. It is a brochure for my work, that I have worked on and printed many times. When I open it in Acrobat after creating the PDF, gaps appear and other elements are shifted out of place. When viewing it in Photoshop, those gaps are not there, even when I zoom in very close. When we open the file on other computers with Acrobat, the gaps are still there. To test the PDF further, I downloaded some free PDF viewers off the net and the document looks the way it was created, the way it should be. I don't know how to fix it and certainly don't want the gaps appearing when it goes to print. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've never previously had this problem. Thank you in advance for your help.
Leah

Without access to the files it's impossible for us to help. Acrobat will be displaying the PDF "correctly", but why the page contents are shifted is anyone's guess.
When you save as "Photoshop PDF" and choose the "Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities" option, it embeds a copy of the PSD file into the PDF and will open that whenever you try to open the PDF in Photoshop, which is why you don't get the import dialog. Photoshop never even reads the PDF page contents. Turn off that option, save to PDF again, and then open it in Photoshop - you'll see the true PDF page being imported as a graphic, and it'll match what Acrobat is displaying.

Page will not display properly with inline Frames

I have a html page that will not display properly in Dreamweaver. I have a basic understanding of html and want to be able to edit a website in Dreamweaver that was given to me. It looks fine in a browser, but in Dreamweaver some of the content is missing and displays the following message, "Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline Frames". I was able to open it without any problems using Microsoft Front Page, so is it possible to view and edit it in Dreamweaver?

Without seeing your page, I'm guessing that your page contains server-side includes, iframes and scripts to other files on the server that populate page with content on the server's end. You can't see it in DW because you don't have all the files in your DW local site folder. You said this views fine in FP. Was your page created in FP with FP proprietary tools?

Colours of imported postscript not displayed properly in illustrator

Hi,
I produced a colour map and colour gradient legend as a postscript file (.ps) using generic mapping tools software running under linux. When I import this file into illustrator (in windows 8) the colour map is fine, but the colour gradient does not display properly. It appears as a bunch of white spaces and vertical colour bands of random colour. When I then try to export the file as a .pdf the colour gradient appears as solid blue. I've also tried producing a .pdf instead of .ps but it makes no difference.
It's worth noting that I have done this in the past with no problems. This particular problem first occurred a few months ago and is now persistent.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

There are no import options to change in Illustrator to make it work. Usually I argue against using Illustrator as a general purpose PDF editor, but since it seems to be your only option here it is better than nothing (i.e., what you got from Illy itself).
It's worth noting that I have done this in the past with no problems. This particular problem first occurred a few months ago and is now persistent.
The problem is that the color bar is a 4-bit color image. Did that recently change with an update of your mapping software? Open one of your Illy files that were okay and check the color bar -- is it vector or bitmap? If it's a bitmap, can you "edit" it with Photoshop? (It's not a good day to be an Adobe spokesperson: much to my surprise, Top Market best Seller Photoshop cannot edit 4-bit color images!)
Let's talk Versions as well. I distilled with Distiller 9, but it seems that is not the magic solution (as you already see that it worked). Both Illustrator and InDesign: CS4. Platform: Windows 7.
That combo works for me.
A minor -- relatively unrelated -- note:

I also tried to import the .ps file into indesign (which I've never used before), as you suggest, but I got an error about the program not being able to recognize the file format (maybe a plugin missing?).
No, that indicates you attempted to "open" your ps. You must create a new document first, then use "Place" -- Adobe's terminology for what every other program on the planet calls "Import". It's relatively inconsequential, because either failure or success with InDesign doesn't mean that much; I only included it to point out another blatant unnecessary difference between the two programs.

Fonts not displaying properly in Safari

I built a webpage in Adobe Dreamweaver and for the most part the text is editable. It displays properly in all web browsers (internet explorer, chrome, firefox) except for Safari. When I view it in Safari on my MacBook Pro, the sections where text is editable is displayed in a different font than I used. I used Century Gothic which is a sans serif font and it's being displayed as a serif font.
How do I fix this?

On a related topic, here's another Illustrator file with fonts displaying incorrectly, but this time it also has problems with the download links - the options for PNG, JPG and PDF do not appear at all.
