Fla to psd

Hello,
Although I've searched with Google for an answer, I'm hopping to hear some good news from you. My question is: Can you export a flash file as psd? I see fireworks has a feature like this.
Thanks in advance

I know this may come as a shock to you, but I do most of my designs in Flash. Yes, it's an odd choice, considering I could choose Photoshop, Illustrator or Fireworks, but hey, I like Flash.
Most of the desing stuff you'll find here is made in Flash, so it has the potential.
I was hopping that I could export the content of a keyframe as a PSD file, so that my colleagues could than work on it usign Photoshop (something like Fireworsk's export PSD function)

How can I convert .fla into .PSD?

I have a .PSD file that is a significant part of the website I am working on and I can only edit it properly with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 (out of the programs I have, GIMP doesn't work how I need it to). The problem is, I can easily open a .PSD file with Adobe Flash CS5 but I cannot SAVE it as a .PSD, it only allows me to save it as a .fla or something else that is an uncompressed .fla but I forget it's name. Neither of these work for what I need so how can I SAVE it as a .PSD or CONVERT it into a .PSD? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I`m trying to understand why you would need to use psd file on a website. A psd file can`t be displayed in a browser.
The usual way is to use a psd file more as a sort of archive for multiple images (for example all buttons on a website) and then to webexport the photoshop layers as slices or separate png/jpg files?
Anyway, you won`t be able to skip photoshop itself to save to a photoshop file.
Here you can download a trial that willl let you work 30 days on the psd-side:

Saving and not able to view

Hey looking for any sort of help or info someone has to help me out. I saved a bunch of jpg's png's gif's pdf's and html's all those files with those endings won't let me open or view them I saved them on a flash drive. If it helps at all there a little more. Other files like fla's psd's and ai's files can be loaded and used. And I almost forgot, when I tried to open and view one of the html files i have on Safari this is what I got to pop up instead of the page I designed "¥ÒgOçiƒ‰ ç}Á#Ÿ03³-¤Â\¤ƒ°wð ¥s0¼Ì* ‘ò=‰õs.lPY„Œ{ôõfòiÐ0œø Á…" One more thing to add if it helps. I can't delete any of the jpg's png's gif's pdf's and html's files out of the trash of the flash drive and the trash is taking up over a GB of memory
Any thoughts...
Or ideas??

Ok well things just worse now its saying when I'm trying to open up the other files that worked. Its now saying that the psd file can't be read in Photoshop along with fla's in Flash and finally ai with Illustrator.

AS2 noScale and pixelation issue

We are doing a number of banners for a client in AS2 using Flash 8 Pro. The version was their specification.
Now I've generated a series of PNGs in photoshop at precisely the same dimensions an imported them directly into the Flash Library.The problem is, when we epublish this to HTML it scales up about 120% and pixelates badly. I've already explored a few workarounds to varying success. Allow me to explain:
In the swf preview (Ctrl+Enter) I get no scale or pixelation issues. The render is clean and sized correctly. The scale problem is only happening in the HTML publishing.
-I double checked the code on the HTML and the size specifications are the same as those in my FLA and PSD. Identical.
-In the publishing settings I discovered that the noScale option prevented the issue, but only for the machine I was working on. None the other test machines saw any improvement in the published banner(we have 4).
-I tried embedding a noScale Actionscript directly into the FLA. Same issues as above. Only the work PC displayed the correct size, the other machines did not.
-I tried manually setting the HTML publish size specifications. Again, same problem.
What's strange to me is that the noScale only corrects the problem for the machine the project was done on. Makes me think some caching is to blame for the misrepresentation. And the HTML Publish seems to be ignoring my size specifications for the SWF altogether. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

Well it looks like I may have resolved this issue, sort of. John (owner of the tapes) let me borrow his camera for the experiment (Thanks). This is what I did with the theory that if I captured using a sony dcr-vx2000 pixelation would be reduced.
The other night (late), I pulled some hurricane Katrina footage that I had not captured yet and capture it with the canon xl2. on playback of the capture NO PIXELATION was observed at all(I watched it three times). I took the originalvtapes that I worked with last week on the wedding and recaptured on the caon xl2. Resulted in occasional pixelation. I then took the same tape and re captured it from the sony camera. Resulted in NO pixelation when playback observed on a tv and on pc screen.
Conclusion:
even though ths is not scientifically provef true or fals, I observed that to capture from a mini dv tape if shot on sony camera, you need to use a sony camera for capture. Same thingapplies with canon.
Note: Canon and Sony, please address these issues as a professional courtesy to the rest of your customers. Thank you.

Long-term concerns about Creative Cloud and my current license

Say I subscribe to Creative Cloud, and it doesn't do so well. In three years, it's removed from Adobe's product offerings. The last CS I'd own is 5.5, but 9 is out, and Adobe cuts off the upgrade discount at 6. After investing $600 per year into Creative Cloud—much more in only a single year than the $400 I'm considering spending to upgrade to Design+Web Premium 6—how would Adobe treat my upgrade options? Would a concession be made to allow me to upgrade from a CS 8.5 license being that I've been an active user the whole time? Or would I have to purchase an entirely new license from scratch?
This is a very large concern for me, considering that Adobe was going to cancel the three-versions-back upgrade and implement a one-version-back upgrade policy for CS6.

I don't have an answer for you I'm afraid.
I'm not sure anyone including Adobe knows yet what will happen if the Cloud fails and they're forced to revert to perpetual licenses and retrospectively discount upgrades from CS5.5 to whatever version is current.
No doubt they're closely monitoring their Cloud adoption stats daily.
However - pure speculation follows - I suspect that the more likely scenario is the reverse: the Cloud becomes Adobe's sole method for selling software and they dispense with perpetual licenses (both boxed and downloads) altogether.
They're already on record as saying the Cloud is their preferred sales medium. They've just got to find the sweet spot between revenue/profit and value (what they include in the Cloud bundle). It's compelling enough now from where I sit but it's not for everyone yet.
However, as a CS5 perpetual user and CS6 Cloud user, I'm treating my 2012 Cloud membership as a Trial - so I can still upgrade to CS6 perpetual before CS7 ships if I feel the need to.
The possibility of Adobe going Cloud only is briefly discussed at cs5.org
http://cs5.org/?p=2172
Possible perspective that Adobe will entirely move to the Cloud, leaving customers without any choice. Change of upgrade policy may be the first step to this.
I won’t be surprised to see CS7 be cloud only except for rare education/government/enterprise customers and then it’s game over. Larger agencies will move to that model because it’s more economical, smaller shops and freelancers will be forced to upgrade as incompatible file formats between CS7 and earlier versions migrate from .FLA to .PSD and .AI files.
Watch this space.

Updating PSD files in a Flash movie

Hello. I'll start off by saying that I'm new to Flash. I'm using the CS5 Web Premium suite and want to publish an updated version of a Flash movie that contains PhotoShop files which I've recently modified. Unfortunately, when I open the .FLA file in Flash Professional CS5, it's not apparent to me how to do this. I don't see the PhotoShop files anywhere in the Library pane and thus can't figure out a way to update the Flash movie to recognize my newly modified .PSD files. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
In Flash you'll have to import those PSD files which can then be used as bitmaps and/or movie clips. Simply click on File -> Import and select the PSD file. Then you'll be presented with a dialog where you can select which layers to import.
Hope this helps.
Valerio.

Is there a way to import a .psd and use its data?

Like if I were to take a non flattened, layered .psd and load it in using as3, would I be able to get information about each layer in the .psd, such as position, name of the layer, etc.?

You cannot load PSD at runtime using AS3 (well at least not easily). If you're talking about importing to FLA this page may answer your question: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WS1D02DB71-AB5A-4f20-B359-C0AB1723B41Da.html (but then this is AS3 forum )

Individual fonts not recognized properly when opening a MAC FLA file on PC

I'm getting a missing font warning when opening an FLA file
even though I have all the necessary fonts. The problem is that
while I have MyriadPro-Bold, MyriadPro-BoldIt, MyriadPro-Semibold
on my machine, they only show up in Flash as the Typeface names of
Myriad Pro (first two), and Myriad Pro Light (last one).
I don't want to have to go through an entire file and apply
bold and italics to anywhere they exist, so I'm hoping there is a
way to map these properly. Adobe Type Manager shows all these fonts
properly when I open it, so I don't understand why Adobe's version
of Flash can only see the font family and not the individual fonts.
Hopefully someone out there has had the same problem and can
help me figure this out.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.
The other day, I spent many hours editing some photos for a client. I saved them all and closed Photoshop. When I tried to open the .PSDs, they all came up with this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I was freaking out. I could see the thunmbnails and previews with the MacOS Finder and could see the images just fine in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.
Finally, I remembered that these were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited them from within Lightroom into Photoshop, they opened as TIFFs. However, when I did "save as", I wanted to name them similarly to some other files I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the file name in the Save As dialog to make it easier to name the new file I was saving, but I didn't realize it was changing the file extention from ".tif" to ".psd" as well. The older MacOS (version 9 and earlier) didn't rely on file extensions fo identifying file types, so it didn't hit me right away that this would be the problem. When I changed the incorrect .psd file extension to .tiff, the files opened in Photoshop just fine.
SO... if you run into this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error, try figuring out if it's actually another file type (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc) by either getting the file info from another program or just experimenting with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file isn't actually corrupt, but just named improperly!

How can I access the thumbnail/preview image of a PSD file?

Hey guys I'm trying to salvage some work from a corrupted PSD file via the thumbnail. What happened was I saved my work and closed photoshop and hit the reset button on my PC afterwards by mistake (i dont see why this caused a problem because the program was fully closed at the time). When I open the file now it says it uses an unsupported blending mode, if i press ok I get an error saying incompatible PS version, if I press flatten it says unexpected end of file was encountered. Ive tried PSD repair tools and searched the net for solutions and there doesnt seem to be any - Ive pretty much given up on trying to repair the original file.
The thing is, the thumbnail of the file seems to be intact because I can still see it as the file icon. I wanted to know if there was any way i can access this thumbnail image so i can enlarge it. Any help would be very appreciated!!

I have an idea to try... Earlier I mentioned the Windows Picture Viewer... Normally that won't read PSD files, but I'm used to using that to look into PSD files because at one point I bought the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack.
Something to try, and it won't cost anything:
1. Try downloading and installing the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack from here: http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
2. Once it's installed you get a free trial period, so you can try opening your PSD file by right-clicking on it and choosing Preview.
If that fails, here's another thing to try:
Open the Bridge component of Photoshop and navigate to the folder in which you have the file. It may be able to make a larger thumbnail than the one you're seeing.
Other than that, are you saying you're seeing the thumbnail in Windows Explorer? If that's the case, what happens if you right-click in the white space near the file and choose View - Extra Large Icons?

Is there a way to prevent psd from being the default file extension?

In previous versions, psd was added automatically if the document was layered. Since I don't use psd, I had to manually change to tiff.
But I'm finding that even flat (unlayered) files that came in as jpgs have psd inserted as the default. I would have thought that, by default, a file could stay whatever it started out being. (Whether jpg or tiff, flat or layered).
This happens when I "save as" even when I don't change the name of the file, only save it in a different location (such as a jpg file from a flashcard being saved to computer).
Is there a way to prevent the extra step of rejecting psd? Is there a preference or something I have missed?

Although the little camera I was using doesn't capture 16 bit, I did run the jpgs briefly through ACR to try out the shadows/highlight feature since the photos were perfect candidates. My preference there is to convert to 16 bit ProPhoto so maybe--even though the files opened as jpgs. That might be the problem: maybe bit depth is the trigger for psd assignment. Still, I wish there was a way to disable it.

Alpha Channel in .psd or png not printing correctly after latest update.

Hi all,
Just noticed this yesterday. I've been searching for an answer but to no avail. Let me first say that everything works as expected in CS4. But CS5 fails to print correctly. It looks fine on screen and in print previews. I've tried trashing the preferences etc. I'm running Master suite on Vista 64 bit with dual quad processors and 25 gigs of memory. An HP Z800.
To replicate the problem simply open Photoshop and create a document any size, here we'll do 5 x 7 and set to transparent. Draw on the layer. I used a hard edged brush and made three circles. Saved as a .psd. Open Illustrator make a new document
6 x 8. Rectangle tool draw to fit doc. Fill with default gradient. Now place the photoshop file created earlier. Looks fine on screen but when I print either to our plotters or to our laser printer the problem appears. It happens with many different files. Attached is a scan of one of the prints. You can see where the boarders of the 5 x 7 image are when all you should see is the 3 circles. The alpha is not being read by illustrator correctly when printing. All 3 of our machines running CS5 are exhibiting this behavior. Is anybody else getting this? It's a pretty big show stopper.
Thanks.

Thanks. I saw those threads but this is not that issue. I really think that this is a bug in the latest update for illustrator.

Photoshop CS6 - Spot channels are not saved correctly in the psd files.

Hi,
I'm using Photoshop CS6 and something happent a few days ago....some Windows or Adobe update messed up everything...I don't know...
Here's how things are.
If I add to an image a couple of new spot channels (any Pantone color) and remove the informations from the CMYK channels (or not-the problem it's there anyway), I should have an image with 6 color plates (CMYK and the 2 Pantone). It doesn't happened anymore...
I'm using Corel to print the files and the previous saved files are fine, I have all the Spot colors there. Now, If I edit any file I've worked on before, and save it again, the spot colors dissapear when I'm importing the psd file in my Corel document. And if there is no information on the CMYK channels, I'm getting a blank image...
I hope someone will give me some ideas because I don't know what to do anymore...
Codrut

Right. It's not reading these new saved files correctly. The old ones are fine.
I forgot to mention one thing. I've got this CS6 as an upgrade and I still have the CS5 one running on the same computer. The CS5 version does the same thing...
Today I tryed again to open a PSD (CS6) with another CS5 version from another computer and came with an error message "Could not complete your request because the specified color book cannot be found". And the file didn't opened....
Who messed up my color book and how can I fix it?

Photoshop CS6 colors have shifted for PSD files; no longer match Bridge colors, resulting jpg colors off too

Until last night, Photoshop has been working relatively well** (see below) However, I processed a batch of DNG files through Bridge and saved them as PSDs. When I opened up the new PSD files in PSCS5, the colors had shifted - more green, less saturated.
I went back to the DNG files and opened each up separately in PS - the color looked good. I edited them, saved them as PSD files, and reopened them in PS - the colors were bad.
I cleared the Preferences (by holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift) when restarting PS. Although it cleared up the pre-existing issue explained below **, it didn't fix the issue with the colors.
I rebooted my computer. No luck.
I looked for available updates. None available.
I recalibrated my monitor (ColorMunki). No luck.
I don't know what I did/what happened to cause the problem. The day before, everything was fine.
I tried to fix it by experimenting with option under View. The closest I could get the colors to matching those shown in Bridge was to set View--Proof Colors-- Monitor RGB.
But here's the kicker - when I did a "save as" in PS the resulting jpeg had the same gross color shown in PS before setting the proof colors to Monitor RGB - and the jpeg colors are gross in Bridge and PS! The same thing happens if I run a batch of PSDs via Bridge and save them as jpegs. The resulting jpegs look gross in both PS and Bridge.
HELP!
I'm using a PC with Windows 7. All the images jpegs, DNG and PSD are in the RBG color space.
**(except for one weird issue - when I would try to open up a color balance layer, it would open a levels layer instead)

How to Edit and Replace Psd Files in Adobe Flash - Help!

Hi Everyone,
I am new to flash and I am trying to build my first flash site using a flash template. I can use flash to edit certain components like header text, etc. But The content is impossible for me to change. I think that these are psd files, which I can open with gimp or another program and edit. I save and replace that file, but when I view movie again, the content is the same. I guess what I need to know is how to get these files back into my flash movie after I have edited them. Please help, I am no computer expert, but I am learning. A how to for dummies answer would be awesome.

Maybe You should try the Flash-forum:

Can not open .psd files in Photoshop!

I am using Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 (Macintosh 10.5.6). Files created in Photoshop are saved to disc as .psd. Next time upon opening (both double clicking file and opening from within Photoshop) message appears: ‘Could not complete your request because the file is empty’ (I can see the file and ‘look’ at it using space bar). Older .psd files open normally. I did start using Spaces a few days ago. Maybe that's the culprit? Any ideas?

That sounds like the files are corrupted. I would be looking for disk problems.
And you really should be on MacOS 10.5.8 - they fix a lot of bugs with each dot release.
