For CS2 - Unwarping a photographed 8.5x11" page

For CS2
How do I take a photographed 8.5x11" page that is not symmetrical in the photo and "unwarp" it so that it fits properly into an 8.5x11" image?
Please help with clear instructions. I'm not a PS newbie, but I suspect this will have a lot of variables.
Ideally, it would be as simple as "place points in each of the four corners and auto-stretch, but I know that won't be the case.
Also, is there a way to "batch" this or preset rules to make it easier to do again and again?
I'm including a sample of the page problem below. I photographed hundreds of pages of rare materials in an archive, but you cannot standardize them with a camera.
Thanks for any help anyone can be!
Andy

If you have a chance to go back to the archive, you could improve your photos by placing the camera farther from the page and using a more normal focal length on your lens,
Your photo was shot with a 5.9 mm focal length with a 1/2.5" sensor which works out to approximately 35.4 mm.
This is a bit of a wide angle and is producing the barrel distortion that you are seeing.
Also shooting at a slight angle rather that straight on is why there is more distortion at the top compared to the bottom.
Trying something in the 8.4 - 9.2 mm focal length on your camera (Kodak Z712) will help reduce the barrel distortion and produce pictures that you won't need to struggle with in Photoshop after the fact.
I understand you might not be able to go back and reshoot these pictures, but a sturdy tripod and some planning (take some test shots at home and see what settings are best) will be helpful for future archive photography.
Good Luck!

How to print three 4x6" prints on 8.5x11" page in Lightroom?

Is there any way to create a Lightroom print template that prints three different 4x6" images onto a single 8.5x11" page? There's plenty of room on the page to do this--it just involves printing two in one orientation and a third in the opposite orientation. For example, on a portrait letter size page print 2 portrait orientation 4x6" images butted up against one another and a third 4x6" landscape image below those.
I have figured out how to create this layout arrangement in the Picture Package portion of the Lightroom 2 print module, but then I get three copies of the *same* image whereas I want to print 3 different images. As far as I can tell the Contact Sheet/Grid printing (which prints 1 of each image) doesn't have the capacity for adding "cells" of different sizes or orientations. It offers only a simple 'rows and columns' approach to laying out photos on a page.
Ultimately my goal is to select a bunch of images in Lightroom and print one copy of each image at 4x6". I want them all printed on a series of 8.5x11" pages fitting the maximum number of images on each page. In case you're wondering, the '2x2 Cells' template that comes in Lightroom doesn't work for me because you can't quite get the size up to 4x6".
Can anyone help me? I have Lightroom 2 and Lightroom 1.4. I also have Photoshop CS3 and can't figure out how to do it there either (though I'd prefer to stay in Lightroom the whole time). I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 and I have a Canon S900 printer using Epson Premium Semi gloss Photo Paper.

>I was afraid that was the answer. It seems like such a basic need for photographers to print 4x6's and efficiently use paper.
Believe me, you're not the first to ask about this.
>Jao--what's a minilab? Do you mean sending them out to print either online or at a physical store?
Either. They typically use the exact same machines. I use costcos for supercheap prints with a quality that is hard to match using your own printer. They even provide profiles that give you superb color. The only problem is that you don't have a choice of papers the same way you have at home and that the gamut is a little smaller than a very good inkjet. I use several more pro services too for better papers and only occasionally print myself. Usually making me curse at the EPSON clogging inkjets (TM) make-me-lose-twice-the-amount-of-ink-per-print-as-advertised feature. Printing myself costs me 4 to 5 times as much as labs and that is when Lightroom behaves and doesn't without warning start double managing the color. Sometimes you want that personal attention though or that art paper and then the cost of the print is often negligible with respect to the sale.

Serial Number (Lack of) for CS2

I am attempting to download CS2 and it is asking me for a serial number. Another user recommended I create a ZIP file, however this is on a work computer so I was granted special privileges once to download the program. How can I find this number or bypass it with out having to re-download files?

Did you pay for PS CS2 many years ago, so you are a licensed user? Be aware that the CS2 licensing servers were decommissioned some years ago so you have to download and install special versions of CS2 and use a special serial number, but this is only for users that originally purchased CS2 and are licensed to use it.
If all that is ok, then here is the page that has the links and special serial numbers for CS2 downloads that don't need activation:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
If you don't have this version then I don't know of any way to get it without downloading it. It is unclear what situation you're talking about regarding zip files or special privileges and what that might have to do with a serial number. Also the term "download" typically means to get a file from a far away server (like Adobe's) and copy it to your local PC or Mac using the internet. This process should not, yet, be asking for a serial number. What does ask for a serial number is when you install the program using the installer that was downloaded.

Error when compiling AppleScript for CS2, need help

I've recently started learning AppleScript, and while I'm no stranger to programming I'm a little lost when it comes to errors like this one. I have both InDesign CS2 and InDesign CS3 installed so I'm not sure if my problem is caused by that, they were installed before I started working on this mac. I've also been recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, in case that might be a probable cause.
Basically, my problem stems from this:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
    get active document
end tell
When I try to compile this I get a Syntax Error that says "Expected end of line but found class name." and highlights "document". I've also had problems trying to use things like "page 1" or "view preferences" with similar errors. With the case of things like "page 1" I've had to replace it with "item 1 of pages" to get it to compile.
If I change it to "Adobe InDesign CS3" it works fine, but I need to compile for CS2 for backwards compatability. Strangely, this method works:
set indesign to application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell indesign
    using terms from application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
        get active document
    end using terms from
end tell
Does this mean my CS2 dictionary is broken? I can view it fine from the Script Editor, and I've seen things like "active document" used in example scripts, so this syntax error is confusing me.

I'm not sure why you're getting that error, but a couple of things:
Using "document 1" instead of "active document" is not a bad habit,
because there are cases where active document doesn't work.
When you compile the scripts, the version is somewhat irrelevant -- when
you go to run them, they look for a running application of the same creator
code, and use that. It's a bit like when you double-click on a document in
the Finder -- it doesn't matter what version of ID you made it in, it will
try to open in whatever version is running first.

Language swap for CS2 download

Hello,
some time ago while I did my studies in the US I bought an EN version of Creative Suite 2. Now back in Germany I am beginning to want the German version on my screen .
There is this very well known site where you can download all the CS2 files because of the server issue (here the DE-site):
http://www.adobe.com/de/downloads/cs2_downloads/
In the text Adobe says I am only allowed to download the files if I have a license. Indeed I have one but an EN, not DE.
On the Adobe sites I read that I am allowed to swap my language within the same product without problem and costs.
1) So does this mean that I am also allowed to download the DE files in the link above?
2) If not: How do I do the language swap for CS2, is this possible anymore, as it is an old product?
Kind regards,
Peter

hello and thank you for the first answer. Yes, perhaps it works. But I am not wondering if it works technically (Adobe put the files and a serial to that page, so you don't need activation anymore). I asked because of the legal concerns. As you write the serials are language specific I think that it is legally not possible. Perhaps Adobe reads this and thinks about its disclaimers on these pages and if my case is ok (regarding language swap).
I just want to make it right . In case of doubts I continue in EN or change to CS3.

Need download for CS2 Premium Education (1131). I have the serial number.

I'm in need of the download for CS2 Premium Education edition 1131-1157-9455-5327-2219-5530. I'm unable to install off my disks due to the online activation process and am unable to find my actual serial number on the CS2 downloads page: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads Please assist.

Hello, yes that is where I'm looking. It's an education version so I'm guessing that's why I'm not seeing it listed with the other regular 1130-xxx serial numbers. Platform is PC: 1131-1157-9455-5327-2219-5530.
This seems to be hopeless. Does anyone know of a way to get my issue through to an actual Adobe support person?
Thank you for your time and help!

When will download and activation for CS2 be possible again?!?!?!?!?

Download and activation for CS2 is currently down.
Is this temporary or has Adobe stolen my legally bought CS2 just b/c it is old?!?!?!?!?

Win7
start in: www.adobe.com/go/activation
next: choose "I'm having a problem activation my product"
next: next to "Error Code 24:24" choose link: "Activation server unavailable ..."
on the new page under "How to install" choose: "2. Download and install CS2 applications"
select language (Danish)
on the new page under "CS2 Downloads" choose "Jeg accepterer" (if you see it in English: "I accept")
on the new page there then should be a download link for CS2 - BUT NO!

Old school with CS2. Haven't used in a while and am unable to use the program as it says my serial number is invalid. Customer service tells me the server for CS2 has been shut down. Then they sent me here for help. Does anyone have any advice?

Naresh: Mary, Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 applications, including Acrobat 7 and Audition 3, because of a technical issue.
Naresh: So you will have to download the software from the above link.
Naresh: May I know in what OS you are trying to install the software?
Mary Vance: the link sends me to a CS2 help package
Mary Vance: windows 7
Naresh: I am sorry you will not be able to install the CS2 application on Windows 7 since it does not support CS2 version.
Mary Vance: I have had on here for a few years...why all of a sudden would it not work? Illustrator is fine.
Naresh: Okay.
Naresh: You can try downloading the software.
Mary Vance: was the original link that you sent me suppose to allow me to download Photoshop?
Mary Vance: I did try and got the message that the serial number is invalid. Is there any way to get around this or should I throw it away?
Naresh: May I know whether you uninstalled the product.
Naresh: ?
Mary Vance: I did uninstall Photoshop only. Then I tried reinstalling Photoshop only and got the message about the serial number.
Naresh: I check and see that it seems to be a technical issue, I request you to please post your query to the forums so that you will get the resolution from our expertise and I'll provide you the link to visit the forums.
Naresh: Please click here to visit the forums.
Mary Vance: I guess I will try that.
Naresh: Yes, please.
Naresh: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Mary Vance: I don't see where you helped me with this yet, so I guess not!
Naresh: I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Naresh: Thank you for contacting Adobe. We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!
Any help would be appreciated.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

How to get pages list for a group space or create a page for a group space

hi All,
I am using wc11.1.1.3, I want to use java api to implementing the following functions in site template:
1. Get pages list for a given group space
2. Create a page for a given group space
I researched the following codes from web site:
PageDef newPage = mPageService.createPage(
PERSONAL_USER_PAGE, pageNameFormat, pageTitle,
"MyPageTemplate1.jspx",
"/mytemplates/",
null, null, null);
What should be used instead of PERSONAL_USER_PAGE if a group space page is intended to be created? which parameter is for defining group space name that the page should be created for?
By the way, PageService seems has method for getting list of pages, but how to use it to get page list which is in a specified gs?
Best regards

did you manage to get the page list using Page Service API?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

My sympathy, but, this is what you agreed to when you chose to use a free system: (From terms of service agreement, iCloud)
APPLE DOES NOT GUARANTEE, REPRESENT, OR WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, AND YOU AGREE THAT FROM TIME TO TIME APPLE MAY REMOVE THE SERVICE FOR INDEFINITE PERIODS OF TIME, OR CANCEL THE SERVICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
And this is no different from any other free service I'm afraid. Pay for your mail, then you have the right to expect service.

Best practice for java script placement on a BC page?

Hi guys just a general ask about where the best place for java script is on a BC page.
I just watched the this very good video on optimization http://bcgurus.com/tutorials/how-to-do-website-performance-optimization and in it it says how you should try and load the scripts at the bottom of the page so that it loads quicker.
now I want to do this but with it being a BC site i dont know if certain scripts have to be in the head of the doc. For instance the validate script I have? Does anyone know what I can and cant move from the head?
I was going to do what kiyuco like to practice and add all my scripts to a content holder and then add that to my pages/templates. Will BC like me adding this to the bottom of the page and not the head?
Thanks
Dave
