Great plug-ins coming out, but.....

so now we get all these great new plug-ins coming out....all say they are "not destructive" but they don't work on raw files, they just make a new psd file with the setting applied (which by the way cannot be edited at that point)...i guess it is not destructive but also not really all that helpful....
is there a way to apply these plug-ins to more then one file? lift&stamp? i guess i would not really want to add 50 full size psd files to my raw files anyway?
all these plug-ins seem to be targeted toward people who adjust one shot at a time....i happen to be a professional studio shooter and need to make adjustments to one frame and apply them to the next 100-500 (all with the exact same light conditions)....even better: added automatically when the file comes in tethered! i guess that will never work with the plug-ins? even if apple finally makes that happen for adjustments with a future aperture upgrade?

i left LR because of several features that aperture has and LR might not get for a while...
the whole plug-in thing sounded great but now it almost seems to backfire in the worst way, because apple might think they don't have to improve aperture, 3rd party will add functionality anyway....which is NOT the way this should work....the color/hue/sat/curve controls in LR are a lot better, maybe even better then viveza (except for the local effect) and they work on raw files...which is the whole point....
i agree that it is nice to have to go to PS less and less but for me it will never go away completely and i don't look at full size versions as a solution to not having to go to PS!
the worst thing is that (like some else mentioned here) the adjustments are final after you hit save and there is no way to copy/re-apply them for the next file....completely worthless...
especially for the price...
btw: i bought the dpmatte plug-in....horrible...don't go there....there is no control over the softness of the edge...

I installed Nik:s suite of plug-ins for LR5 but for some reason not all of them were installed. In the end I uninstalled all of the Nik programs from my Mac but before I reinstalled them I opened LR5 again to check. Under "photo" and "edit in" the plug-ins were still presented but no programs opened, of course. after reinstalling the plug-ins one of the programs appeared twice in the list but not the others. I´m going to reinstall them again and I´m wondering if there is anyway of erasing the links to the plug-ins under "photo" and "edit in" ???

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

The "edit in" menu is completely inactive. All plug-ins are visible but in light grey; i.e. not accessible. Any idea how to solve the issue? Fyi: I am using LR 5.7.1 on MacBook with Mawericks.

Jim, that sounds like a good hypothesis. Yes, I am using smart previews. I have my originals on an external drive which is connected. Still, LR can not find them. Do you know how to tell LR where to find the originals? I would like LR to identify the source automatically: if external drive is connected LR should show "original and smart preview" not only "smart preview". Thanks for your help.

Tried to Download additional plug-ins for CS4 but having problems.

I just found out that CS4 doesn't have the extract filter, so I went to this link to download additional plug-ins:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4047
I downloaded it, but I'm having trouble installing it. The instructions tell me to "navigate to the application
folder, double-click Setup, and then follow the on-screen instructions" but there's not application folder or Setup. I also tried opening the download, selecting English>Googies>Optional Plug-Ins>Filters>Extractplus.plugin, but it says "cannot complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
I'm at a complete loss here. All I want is the Extract Filter. I've tried 2 different downloads, both to no avail. Please help!

I don't quite follow?
The only document you need to read is the "OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf" in the Goodies/Optional plug-ins folder on your mounted diskimage of your downloaded.
Here you'll find all the instructions on where to put the files.

Uninstalling plug-ins for Safari, but not Firefox

Hi all,
I've been driving myself kind of nuts over this. Is there a way for a plug-in to be installed only for Firefox and not Safari? I like the built-in PDF reader in Safari, but I want the Schubert-IT PDF browser plug-in for Firefox. Both browsers share the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder, but it seems weird that we can't be selective in terms of which browser gets what.
If nothing else, is there maybe a Safari configuration file hiding somewhere that can be edited to exclude certain plug-ins?
Thanks,
Tim

The issue is that it's how you have it setup for PDF files.
Right or control click a PDF file you have stored on the hard drive then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel look for: Open with
All applications are set to open with a particular PDF viewer.

Can't open Firefox any more. Shows up in processes but never activates. It was coming up yesterday but running at around 120k. Did my updates, tested my plug-ins, extensions, etc. but now can't even use it. Any suggestions?

Firefox was working fine but started having crashes this week. Concurrent with multiple problems I'm having with a new Brother printer with driver downloaded via Firefox. No viruses, no spyware, cleaned cache, deleted cookies - have done everything I can think of. And then today, can't even open Firefox though it does show up in processes at around 30K. Yesterday it was coming up at 100k+ when it was working but was very slow. For example, my email through AOL, it duplicated every email I opened, crippling the whole process. Turned off compatability mode - have done everything suggested via the Firefox site. If I have to reinstall it, is there a way I can save my bookmarks?

You could experiment with giving OBP the absolute path to that USB device, but I doubt you'll be successful. The Sunfire 280R (same hardware as the Sunblade 1000, Sunblade 2000, and Netra 20) design expected USB to be only for keyboard and mouse, not for any storage devices. If booting ever works manually from a USB stick, then you could create a custom alias for the device.
Try an experiment by using a CD or DVD of an older release of Solaris 10 instead of the current release.
[http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/releases.jsp|http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/releases.jsp]
The earlier ones need fewer hardware resources. I also recall a few forum posts that seem to suggest the bootblock structure on the CD's and DVD's of those earlier releases was more compatible with older hardware.
You might also need to get yourself a copy of the OBP 4.x Command Reference Manual, document No. 816-1177

Plug ins crossed out / Compressor/Limitor crossed out

Logic was working perfectly. I installed the newest update for my macbook and now all the compressors, limiters, and equalizers are crossed out and i can't even record or see a record button on my tracks. Anyone know how to solve this? Running 10.9.5

Plug-in page tells me all plug-ins are up to date, but I keep getting error messages from Firefox telling me they are not and are unstable

I keep getting error messages stating that my Adobe Flash is out of date and vulnerable. I go to the Add-ons Manager, click "update" and it takes me to the plug-in page which shows it's up to date!! Same with Java DT and Shockwave Flash. How can I update if I have the latest versions already!?! I am inclined to just allow the plug-ins to work but don't want my pc to become vulnerable. Please help!

hello Danagriz, unfortunately the plugin check page lags behind. adobe has released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection.
https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-27.html https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p794
please update to Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).
in order to update java, go to java.com (or if you don't need the plugin you can also uninstall it though the windows control panel)

Plug-Ins not auto-updating, but auto update is set.

I wanted to warn others about this problem.
I read an earlier answer where someone said that Plug-Ins won't auto-update, perhaps that is correct, but if Plug-Ins don't auto-update, why is there an auto-update feature?
(Tools-AddOns-Updated Automatically & Check for Updates both don't catch that plug-ins are out of date).
I'm not talking about random obscure programs, this is the Java Platform & Toolkit. Shouldn't the Add-Ons options clearly state that they don't automatically update or check for updates?
Fortunately I have decent anti-virus software, but I didn't discover this until I picked up a Trojan and started reviewing every single program on my computer to see if I had missed any updates.

Thanks, I just wanted to warn others if they got confused, the way the options are set up it is a little confusing for us who aren't familiar with the difference between Addons & Plugins, it looks like you are choosing an Auto-Update for the Plugins too.
I also figured out that the Java program is not auto-updating even though I set the auto-update feature on the program itself (which has nothing to do with any Firefox issues), so I will have to remember to check their support and also manually check the program pretty often.

Additional plug ins are required to display media but when I click the tab to install missing plugins why does it tell me there ar no suitable plugins to install.

When I am on Amazon.com, a message appears that additional plug ins are required but when I click on button to "install missing" plug-ins, it tells me there are no suitable plugins. I have downloaded "FreePriceAlerts" and a bar usually appears and I believe whatever plug-in is missing is preventing this from showing. When I use IE I have no problem.

Can you post a link to the page where you have that problem?

Plug-ins for LE9

Hi all.
I've just bought the following gear for a small home recording setup: MacBook Pro 2.44mhz, LE9, TC Electronic Impact Twin, SE Electronic 2200A Mic, M-audio midi keyboard.
The music I'm doing is minimalistic folk or something like it.
Currently i'm using the plug-ins that comes with LE9, but my question is: what would be great plug-ins for my style of music? I'm going to use it mainly for Keys, strings, flutes, drums and bass. I would really like plug-ins that sounds organic, is there something like that out there? And what about free plug-ins, where do I find these?
I'm going to link to my music so that you guys can get a sense of the style, the music on myspace is recorded in a traditional fashion though.

All the best

Welcome to the world of Logic !
I would recommend the M-Tron Pro and VSE both from G force for strings , flutes , etc. http://www.gforcesoftware.com/index.php
And Maybe some very simple less polished sounding sample libraries for bass and drums which you could load right into the esx-24 sampler in logic ,but I can't recommend any since A: thats not my style so I don't know the names of some I've heard and B: Sample libraries are a very personal choice.
I would recommend that if it looks flashy it's probably not going to produce than salt of the earth sound your after though .
As far as free plugs go Don't crack is the place to go

I did not recently make any updates or load any 3rd party plug-ins, and can find all the plug-ins in folders, but they will not load (have done restarts, etc)
Any Clues?
I Have the Instal DVDs, but unfortunately my Work PC does not have a DVD player (I downloaded from Adobe).

I finally got my call from Level 2 support. The installation was failing because an Illustrator installation related "cab" file had apparantely been renamed to a "vir" file extension. I was installing from downloadeded and expanded files. This file extension change was probably done by my anti virus software (Panda).
I renamed the file and the installation of Illustrator was successful. The cause of the original problem, (unable to load plug-ins) is unknown. Maybe a random corruption or perhaps caused by a Windows Update. But now everything is re-installed and seems to be working.
The level 2 person's level of support was great. I think they are very understaffed hence the long wait for a call back.

IPhoto plug-ins compatible?

I am finding great joy with Aperture, I wish I could 'simply' use iPhoto but I need this and I need that... But now I've seen all these great plug-ins for iPhoto and am not sure if they will be compatible with Aperture or if Aperture can even accept plug-ins?

there is an SDK for the aperture export plugins ...

3rd party plug-ins/DSP

My head hurts. Why does my head hurt? Because I've been banging it against a wall for the last few days trying to figure out whether I need 3rd party DSP or plug-ins. So, I'm new to LS. Just bought it on the 11th with my spiffy new Macbook Pro 15" C2D 2.4GHz. I bumped up the RAM to 4GB too. Overall, I have to say that LS looks pretty darn comprehensive. I'm an old skool engineer used to working on real H/W (Neve, SSL, Trident, etc....) I've been evaluating things like T.C. Electronics' Powercore, Universal Audio UAD-XPander, Focusrite Liquid Mix, Waves, etc.....So, my questions are as follows: A.)Do I even really need external/3rd Party DSP? B.)Although the UAD looks cool, doesn't look like it's got much horsepower. C.)I've heard fantastic things about the Waves plug-ins as well, but will they suck up a massive amount of CPU juice and leave me out in the cold when trying to mix? and lastly D.)Has anyone used Liquid Mix with LS? I heard the Firewire latency is less than pleasant.
Thanks,
-Laurence

I'll try to answer your questions:
1) Apple tries to make Logic the only program you'll need for recording, editing, and mixing. They attack all the big plug ins with some variation, that is pitch correction is added so you wouldn't have to buy Antares or Celemony. That being said often the plug in is all a company really does, and thus they do it better. But they are not inexpensive. My off the cuff advice would be to get to know Logic very well and only spend money on areas that you find it to be lacking for you, that is, don't rush out to buy an inexpensive convolution reverb and find out Apple had a great one all along. That's actually what made me get Logic- I couldn't find a good reverb at a price I could live with. (I'm poor as the dirt.)
2) Waves makes a great plug in, and if you can afford it, go crazy, you'll find you use them. However you can demo them, or at least the reverb. They are fully functional and stop working after a certain period.
2) UAD is something I have to say I don't know anything about first hand. I've heard mixed things but that's all you ever hear really. I want to know myself how much actual processing power they add, I've heard 1 GHz but then I've heard other numbers too. Do you know they only work with their own plug ins? So if you don't end up liking those, which seems unlikely but still, you're stuck. But another way Logic can use extra processing power is with a "node", that is, another Mac with ethernet capabilities. If you do some serious mastering with your laptop, and your plug ins are draining you, you can farm some of that out to another computer. The Mac mini is what I'm sort of considering for that should I ever end up graduating from school and making some god **** money. And later turning my G5 into a slave to whatever Apple blesses us with in the form of a G6.
I hope any of this was helpful and good luck!

Unable to open Livecycle forms even with latest plug-ins

Hi guys,
I have a created a few dynamic forms designed using livecycle designer ES..In order for my users to open these forms, they need to have atleast Adobe acrobat / reader version 8.1 or higher to view these dynamic files. However, quite a few of my users are saying that they are still unable to open these forms directly from their browser although they have downloaded the latest Acrobat X version and the browser plug-ins in their computer. It happens to both windows and mac computers. But they are able to download these files and open it directly from their adobe reader though. It happens with all browsers for them...some of them have even called up mac support as well as adobe support and they were advised that it could be a problem with my forms that I find hard to believe since it opens in my computer and opens for a lot of other users. Its only a few users still having difficulties and I can't understand why!
Also, I recently uploaded a dynamic file in acrobat file sharing. Why am I getting the below message when I have the latest adobe installed? I am able to open other dynamic forms in my browsers..why does this happen? I wonder if other user's problem is similar to this...not sure...
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from etc...etc...etc..
What can be the problem when the adobe version is already updated and also the plug-ins are updated too?? I have read a lot of links in adobe site itself which suggest various methods to test out the forms, browsers, plug-ins, etc..but this problem still happens to some users even after trying out these troubleshoots. Can someone explain if there are other limitations or solution for these users?

I don't have an answer. However, since your question is not about Acrobat forms, but Designer forms, you need to ask in the LiveCycle forum that deals with Desginer forms.

Great plug-ins coming out, but.....
