Flattened and Cloned, Edits Not Saved

I flattened an image and made a duplicate layer to clone on, which I was able to do. Though after flattening are layers really possible? Then I did some more cloning without making a duplicate layer. When I saved the image-- I also get the Replace option becase I'm updating old edits--the old image is saved and not to one with my new edits. I did notice when working on the image there ws aother image layer peeking out from under it. Is it possible for me to save my latest image with its clones or do I have to start over?

It sounds to me that you are saving a lot of picture files which are really work-in-progress. Why save all these and fill up your drive with suboptimal pictures?
If you save the file in the native format, you can preserve the layer structure, reopen subsequently for additional edits.

FTP login and password are not saved on some sites

On some of my sites the FTP login and password are not saved
(even though the "saved" box is checked). Dreamweaver 8.0 on XP
SP2. I can export the site information and then import the same
file exported and there still will be no login or password placed
in the login or password window. I opened the exported .ste files
in notepad and found the login correct and the password incorrect.
I uninstalled Dreamveaver and reinstalled still same
problem.

Ok, I just spent about 3 hours on this. Here's the latest
that I've found. I had looked at the knowledgebase and my registry
matched what was suggested. As this has been an ongoing issue for
me, I thought it was still an issue. Apparently 8.02 did have some
improvements.
I can only guess that many of the 36 sites I have in the Site
Manager lost info before the .02 update.. or I hope so.
I did however discover that there is still what could be
considered a minor bug. I went in to Manage Sites and selected edit
for all of my sites, fixing the ones that had lost their user/pass
info. I'm not positive, but I think only the last edited site kept
it's data.
I discovered after many checks on all the sites, over and
over and over, that it appears that they are now holding the data,
but, if I add the user/pass, I must not only click the OK button to
close that particular site, but I must also click the 'Done' button
before only that one will be saved.
So, I thought I was fixing logins when in fact I was only
fixing one at a time.. Completely closing 'Manage Site' seemed to
hold one new set of login data each time. Seems that it shouldn't
be this way.
But I must say, I am rejoicing at the moment, as I actually
have all my sites set up with FTP info and I am now looking forward
to hopefully adding more and maybe they'll actually be available
for the next editing session.

Hai,
Analyse this error in ST22 - ABAP runtime error or in SM13 - update request.The system will show the error update records in red color. Click the error & see the problem in funciton module.THis may be because of no ranges problem or any changes in print out program. Also if u have any BADI activation for the sale order & any changes in this program also leads to this error.

External Editing Not Saving in iPhoto

I set my external editor to Photoshop Elements 9. I right click on my thumbnail and select "external editor" which creates a duplicate of the thumbnail and opens PE9 with the picture where I can perform the edit. After I edit I have tried a straight "save" and a "save to iPhoto library" but when I return to iPhoto 11 none of the edits I did in PE9 appear. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I understand I can edit in the external editor and it is supposed to show up with the edits in iPhoto 11. Furthermore, I have not idea where the edits I performed and saved in PE9 went to and how I can get them back.

This might be of some help:
Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 9 as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
s I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
Click to view full size
This way you get the best of both worlds.

Modified CR2 files in ACR and changes were not saved

I have a directory with 1400 CR2 files in it. I have a stack of picks that I am working with. I went through and for 6 hours adjusted all the images by opening them in Camera Raw and making changes to White Balance, Fill light, etc... When I was done, i clicked done to save the changes to the file (Like I've done many many times before).However most of the modifications were never saved. All the files have sidecar xmp files, but most show original files without modification. I edited approximately 580 images this way and probably 20% kept the changes and the rest "seem" to have reverted back to their original "As Shot" state. Any ideas what happened? Is this reversible or did I just waste my life?

Look at the folder in windows Explorer. What are the time stamps on the xmp files? Do they appear to be "current" -- that is, timestamps approximately when you performed the ACR edits and pressed Done? Or do 70 to 80% of them have earlier time stamps? Current time stamps would suggest that xmp files are being written or updated, possibly omitting some ACR edit data; earlier time stamps suggest that the xmp files were not updated by ACR-Done.
Sequence the xmp files by Date Modified. Do the xmp file time stamps appear to be in time groups? If you clicked Done after editing 20-25 images in ACR, you would expect to see 20-25 xmp files with the same file modified date and time. If you see this, it suggests that entire groups of edits were saved; but some groups of edits that should be saved by a Done from ACR may not have been saved to xmp. If you see groups of substantially fewer than your usualy edit Done sets of 20-25, it suggests that only some xmp files were written.
Since it looks like that you will need to go back and redo the edits to a good many of your 580 images, you might try looking at the xmp files after each ACR Done. Sequence the xmp files by Date Modified. Is the number of file modified timestamps with the 'now' date and time the same as the number of files you just edited in ACR?
In Bridge, do the just-performed edits appear in the thumbnails? Look a the ACR values in the metadata for each of the just-edited images. Do they show the values you just edited? (Be sure that you have checked on Camera Raw metadata in Bridge preferences.)

Audio track edits not saved

I am using Captivate 4. I have a group of files where any edits I make to the audio track are not saved. The audio plays back fine in the audio editor. It just will not save the changes I make to the audio track (cut segments, add silent segments, etc.) I make a change, click OK in the audio editor, close the editor. When I reopen the editor the changes are not saved. I tried uninstalling and reintalling Captivate. I tried saving the file under a different name. Any ideas why this might be happening and if there is any workaround? thanks.

Hi there
You should ensure that Captivate has been updated to the most recent release. The developers released an update after the initial release. Additionally, you may need to follow what is outlined in this blog post. I had to do that on my PC.

Can I recover raw edits not saved as a catalog?

I have raw files that have been imported and edited, but not saved as a catalog/collection. LR crashed & I had to un/reinstall LR (4.4). Can I recover those changes and reapply them to the raw files? If so, how?
Thanks

I've had LR for about 6 months or so and have done the backup every week. Hopefully, I can revert back.
For the most part, I import, develop, then export jpg versions. I dont usually make a "collection" mainly because I haven't taken the time to learn the ins & outs of LR file management (yes, regretting that now).
I don't think that the catalog was damaged. I do remember changing the location. I guess I just need to know if I need to do anything specific to load them
Thanks for the response!

QuickTime Pro 7.1 sound edits not saving

In QuickTime Pro 7.1 when I adjust the volume level in the movie Properties dialog, then save the file, the edits are not saved with the file when I reopen it and play it. The volume level reverts back to the way it was before.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
TIA
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If you're the adventurous type and the missing functionality of QT 7 is a real burden then you can do the following:
1. download QT 6.5.1 from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime651.html
do NOT install it.
2. download Pacifist here:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Use Pacifist to open the "QuickTime651.pkg"
(What we do next is extract only the QuickTime 6.5.1 Player from the package.)
From the "Application" folder in the open Pacifist window, choose "QuickTime Player.app"
In the Pacifist icon menu choose "Extract To..." and choose your Desktop.
* Important: Rename the "QuickTime Player" on your Desktop to "QuickTime Player 6.5.1"
Put it into your Applications folder and use as you have in the past.
Any changes you make to the video or sound can now be saved as before if you use this player to open your movies.
The QuickTime 7 player will still function as it did before.

Editing Virtual Copies -- edits not saved to sidecar?

Even though LR is a metadata editor that does not change the original photos, I still like to create a virtual copy when I edit photos -- I edit the copy and then stack this with the original. This allows me to easily change the library to show me the original version, the edited version, or both next to each other. I noticed, however, that there is no "Save Metadata to file" option when I have the copy highlighted. Does this mean that the ONLY copy of the edited version of this file is in my library, and that all my edits are ONLY saved in the library file and not in the sidecar? I thought that the sidecar would include the virtual copy edits, but this is apparently not the case.
If so, should I be doing this the other way around -- i.e. leaving the virtual copy alone, and making edits to the "original"?
Also, is there a better way to go about this process? Again, I understand that this is a metadata editor that save edits as metadata, but there still seem to be some advantages to editing a second copy of a photo instead of always making edits to the "original."
Thanks for any feedback on this,
Larry

>What side car should be used? You know, you can delete the master and still have the VC, which is tied to the original. If you do that, should LR delete the old side car and then create a new one? Should it create a separate side car for each VC? That would mean multiple side car files point to a single original file. I'm not sure any of that is allowed in the current xmp spec.
I'm not clear what the conflict would be. Couldn't the sidecar file be made to reference different "versions" of the same file? It would be a matter of having the sidecar file split up into multiple "sections," one being the "master," and a new, separate section being made for each virtual copy.
If you deleted the original, it would move simply remove the "master" section of the sidecar to reflect the fact that the master was no longer present, but the sections for any remaining VC files would remain.
I realize that it would take some coding, but in the scheme of things, it doesn't seem like all "that" complex of an issue.
Anyway -- those are just some thoughts on this. The bottom line is that the current paradigm seems unnecessarily limited to me.
Thanks for the discussion here,
Larry

When I click on the popup to remember password it doesn't take. The popup just sits there. I close it and password is not saved. How do I fix this?

This is not just problem sites like gmail or yahoo. Every site I go to is having this same problem. Window pops up asking to "remember password for x on x" and I press the "Remember Password" button and nothing happens. The popup just stays there like it didn't register my response. Finally I close it and ultimately the password is not saved. It's clearly a bug but I can't figure how to fix it. Any suggestions?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox. 
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder. 
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action. 
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost. 
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.

Edit not saved in Acrobat 9

I am using acrobat 9 at work. we are scanning jobs which have color and B&W originals when I edit an image (page) in PS the color ones after saving change to the edited version but when I edit the B&W pages they change in PS buit when you hit save they revert with no edits?
The scans are from a Xerox scanner and the ones I can edit image are 8 bit RGB color, the B&W ones are Bitmap. I convert them to 8 bit grayscale and that is where I edit them and they change until saved, then snap back to the original image? I have even converted them to 8 bit RGB color and the same thing occurs.
We are in a production shop scanning archival documents and i really need a solution to this...
Thanks
Rob

Make the file again, save it again. Never rely on the PDF, it's no more useful for editing than a printout, especially if you don't have hundreds of dollars to throw at the problem.

Usernames and Passwords are not Saved

I made sure that the security option for remembering saved passwords was checked; but the new version of Firefox is NOT saving them; I must enter them each time I visit any site that requires a username or password. There was no problem with version 3 in this regard.

You're welcome and I know the feeling, because I am a senior and get those moments myself.

Lightroom edits not saving!

Ahhhh please help! I use Lightroom 4 and when I went in to look at some images I had recently edited, (all my images are large jpegs, and I "add" my photos to LR) they all started to change to some weird high contrast edit right before my eyes, one by one without me touching or changing anything. They also had a little exclamation point on them. When I clicked on the exclamation it says "the metadata was changed by Lightroom and another application" and I could "import settings from the disk or overwrite the disk settings." When I clicked import settings it reverted back to my original edit. But this didn't last.. after a few minutes they kept changing back to this other random edit. I read online that I should save the metadata so it can't be changed, so I highlighted every image I have in Lightroom and saved the metadata. (this took about an hour for Lightroom to do) But now when I go back into Lightroom to look at my photos they do something different.. now they start to revert back to the original UNEDITED files all my themselves, one by one! Thankfully I have already exported all the edited photos into folders so I have them. But what do I do!? If I ever want to go back to an edited photo and export it at a different size or retouch it or something, none of the edits are saved, I have to start from scratch! I'm a wedding photographer and I'm scared to load more images and work on them just for LR to change them back. Does anyone know why this is happening or what I can do? I want my edited photos back!
Thank you!

Hmm, no I don't believe that is what's happening. I exported all my photos fine. It was when I went back into LR after the export that they started reverting back to the unedited version. I wasnt even doing any action or editing at the time, just opened up LR and they all started changing. I have no idea why this all of a sudden happened. I have been using LR for 2 years and didn't do anything differently. So strange!
You haven't specifically addressed the main point of my guess, that when you did the export, you instructed Lightroom to overwrite the original photo. This could possibly explain your statement that "they all started to change to some weird high contrast edit right before my eyes, one by one without me touching or changing anything." Sometimes these export settings get changed accidentally, could you check to see if that has happened?
Other than that, I don't really have another guess as to what might be happening.

IPhone Photo Edits Not Saved with 3rd Party Apps

I have been using Postagram successfully for some time. However, now, when I take a photo with my iPhone and save/done the edits I make, this version of the image is not uploaded to Postagram-only the original, unedited image is uploaded.
In short, I take the picture, I edit the picture, I click save/done and the edited image lives in my Camera Roll; however, only the original version is uploaded to Postagram.
Has anyone experienced this or have a solution?
Thanks.

I have this issue but didn't recognize it until I read your post. I thought it was 2 bad photos.
I'll subscribe to this tread to see if anyone comes up with a fix.
