File Format saving Issues
I just recently updated to the Creative Cloud and now when I'm trying to save my file in Photoshop to any file format other then PSD, it will randomly choose a file format that I didn't choose. For example, if I choose to save the file as a jpg, the file extension after the name at the top will say iff. No matter what I choose, nothing matches the file extension being shown at the top. So, I have to go through each file format to see which one will show the jpg extension. ANyone having this issue?
Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

Sox mp3 file format recognition issue.
I am trying to use 'play' command in 'sox' to play a mp3 file.
play XXX.mp3
will give me this error
play formats: no handler for detected file type `audio/mpeg; charset=binary'
but
play -t mp3 XXX.mp3
works fine.

Animated GIF files, anyone had issues with the selected animation delay not saving as specified?
I am working on PSE 9 for Mac and have created my psd file with the layers.
Selected 'Save for Web' and chose GIF as the file format.
Ticked 'Animation', then from the bottom right hand corner under 'Animation' I have ticked 'loop' and in the 'delay' drop down selected 2.0 (so 2 seconds).
When I check the file in 'preview in' web it shows the file flashing faster than 2 seconds a frame. I also checked it by uploading it onto my website and it is flashing faster than 2 seconds.
I have saved the file several times to check. It appears that even though you are given a choice that is automatically saves the delay at the auto-populated delay speed of 0.2 seconds.
Thoughts anyone?As far as i know, the frame delay has been broken
for several versions on the mac pse.
Since version 4 maybe?
You can comment on this post and hopefully adobe will fix it in pse 10.

Tried to "Open As" in PS a NEF file I modified in LR. Got the following error message: "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file." I can "Open" the file in PS, but then the changes I made in LR (and saved in the associated meta data file with the "Control S" command) are not applied to the opened PS file. HELP!
If you are working with a file you modified in Lightroom, you should go to the Lightroom Photo menu and choose Edit in... and the version of Photoshop you want to open it in.
There a dialog will ask if you want to transfer the LR settings you made to your photo when you open in Photoshop.

How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP
First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

File upload - issue with European .csv file format
All,
when uploading the .csv file for "Due List for Planned Receipts" in the File Transfer Upload center I receive an error. It appears that it is due to the european .csv file format that is delimited by semicolon rather than comma. The only way I could solve this issue is to change Regional and Language options to English. However, I don't think this is a great solution as I can't ask all our suppliers to change their settings. Has anyone come across this issue and another way of solving it?
Thank you!
Have a good day,
JohannaIgor thank you for your suggestion.
I found this SAP note:
+If you download a file, and the formatting of the CSV file is faulty, it is possible that your column separator does not match the standard settings of the SAP system. In the standard SAP system, the separator is ,.
To ensure that the formatting is correct, set your global default for column separation in your system, so that it matches that of the SAP system you are using.+
To do that Microsoft suggests to change the "List separator" in the Regional and Language Options Customize view. Though like you suggest that does not seem to do the trick. Am I missing something?
However, if I change the whole setting from say German to English (UK) the .csv files are comma delimited and can be easily uploaded. Was hoping there would be another way of solving this without need for custom development. -
Rendering file formats problem (non-issue in premier)
hello all,
so i'm new to final cut and baffled at the unusual render issues i've encountered from the get go.
i recorded some video using the canon fs-10 / fs-20, a lowend digital camcorder.
the camera outputs the format to .mod which i then converted to .mpeg4.
without any editing in FC, a single clip needs to render just to view it in the canvas but plays ok in the viewer. does this make any sense?
i've even tried to convert to .mov and .avi.
when i used a different camera that automatically records in .mov, final cut plays back in the canvas just fine without rendering.
so,
1. what exactly determines when FC renders if not the file format?
2. why does it need to render at all if i'm just playing back? it plays back in the viewer but not the canvas. baffling.
would be a real shame if FC couldn't handle simple editing with these basic files.
thanks!Just grabbing software, and throwing video files at it, without taking the time to read or learn HOW this said application works, isn't wise. FCP isn't Premiere...FCP doesn't just take in any old QT file and then work with it. No. It needs to be converted to a format that FCP works with. What you see in the EASY SETUP list is what FCP works with.
If you don't bother to learn the basics of the application, then things won't go smoothly. If you just want to grab QT files and throw them into an application to start editing, then use Premiere.
1. what exactly determines when FC renders if not the file format?
If it isn't in the Easy Setup list...FCP will want to render it. If you mix two or more codecs in a sequence, then FCP will render the footage that differs from the main footage you are editing with.
2. why does it need to render at all if i'm just playing back?
Because It is viewable in the Viewer...that's just a window to the QT file. But the canvas is where things are put together. And that is where settings are determined.
would be a real shame if FC couldn't handle simple editing with these basic files.
Basic files that aren't in editable codecs. At least ones that FCP (and Avid) work with. If you want an app that just works with stuff you throw at it, Premiere and Vegas are for you.

As I have read, MS Office 2013 is able to read and write the ISO/IEC 29500 strict (standardized Office Open XML) file format. MS Office 2010 was only able to read the strict format and MS Office 2007 could neither read nor write the strict format. The
.docx, .xlsx and .pptx saved by Office 2007 and 2010 were only complying to the OOXML transitional, as far as I understood.
My main question is what the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013 actually is? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?
In case, MS Office still saves in the transitional standard by default, is it possible to set the strict standard in the settings? Is this recommended (I assume that OOXML strict is the future) to do this?
Thanks.Yes, the Transitional is still the default file format for saving in Office 2013, and we can modify this setting in Word Options, Save:
As Alex Brown covers in his
blog post, "Transitional is intended to preserve the fidelity of existing binary documents being migrated to ISO/IEC 29500, and includes many legacy features for compatibility with existing documents. Strict is a subset of Transitional that does not
include legacy features – this makes it theoretically easier for a new implementer to support (since it has a smaller technical footprint, so to speak), but also makes it less able to preserve the fidelity of existing documents."

Frequently asked questions about saving and converting file formats.
GIF vs. GIF vs. GIF (etc.)
Q: I see several different ways to save a GIF file from Photoshop. What's the difference between them?
A: You can select "CompuServe GIF" format when you choose Save, Save As or Save a Copy (asuming you have a flattened, RGB image) from Photoshop's File menu. That's the traditional way of saving GIFs, and has been available in Photoshop going back several versions. It has limited options and saves a file in GIG87 format.
B. You can choose "Export > GIF89a Export" from the file menu. This presents you with a few more options and (as the name suggests) saves out a GIF89a format file.
C. You can choose "Save For Web" from Photoshop 5.5's File menu, and choose GIF from the Optimized File Format menu in the Settings group. You will have many different options to minimize your file size while viewing the resulting image to alow you to maintain image quality. This is usually the best way to save a GIF from within Photoshop. This will generate a file in GIF89a format.
D. If you want to take advantage of even more advanced web features (rollovers, slicing, animation, etc.) for your GIF, switch over to ImageReady 2.0 and save your optimized image there. You will find similar options as in Photoshop's Save For Web dialog, but ImageReady adds additional features that allow you to slice or animate an image, or create rollovers. -

After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out. Any help would be appreciated.
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari. -

How do i change the webpage file format when saving a webpage?
whenever i try to save a webpage it automatically does so using a chrome html format. windows does not recognize this format. how do i change it? thanks
I'm not sure what you mean by a "chrome html format."
I save pages all the time with Firefox 3.6.16 (and now 3.6.17) and have no problems.
When you select Save Page As, it opens a dialog window so that you can indicate where the page is to be saved.
In the Save as Type dropdown list are format options - "Web page, Complete", "Web Page, HTML only", and "text files"
If you select Web Page, Complete, Firefox saves the HTML file and creates a folder where it stores all the other files associated with the page. If you then open the HTML file, it should display properly in Firefox (or any other browser).,
If you select Web Page, HTML only, Firefox saves only the HTML file, no other files are saved.
If you select text files, Firefox saves only the text, it does not save any of the HTML. Basically, you get what you can see on the page without any of the formatting.
I've never seen an option, in Firefox 3, to save a file as a "chrome html format."
I've only see what I described above.
One other thing, I suggest you upgrade to Firefox 3.6.17. At 3.6.10 you are quite a way back and have missed some security updates.
I don't think you can use the update link under the Help menu, you may have to go to the Firefox site and download it manually. It would not hurt to look for some instructions as to how to go from 3.6.10 to 3.6.17.
