How do I import work paths from photoshop CC to Illustrator

Making a vector logo for a client, haven't done this in forever and must be doing this wrong. Created a work plath in PS CC, then exported work path to AI. Opened the new AI file, and at first it appeared to be just a white box. I can see the work paths when mouse over the images, but only on mouseover. And one at a time. How can I just make the logo plain old visible?

it won't have any stroke or fill, because whatever stroke or fill it has in PS is made of pixels.
why not just start out in AI if all you're doing is exporting a path anyway?

How do I import a catalog from photoshop 8 into Photoshop 13

You don't import catalogs, technically you 'convert' catalogs.
If you are on different computer, you don't 'import' either: as mentionned by Ned Murphy, you have to create a backup folder (generally on an external drive) and to restore to the new computer or drive. That restores both your picture library (tree) and your catalog.
If you are on the same computer, the catalog manager dialog you mention offers a 'convert' button. When installing PSE13 on the same computer, the installer should find your active old catalog and prompt you to convert it. If you have missed this step, you can still search for the old catalog folder by browsing to its location. Is that what you have tried without success?

Tolerance dialogue missing on "make work path from selection"

I am trying to convert a 1-color drawing to a path so I can put it into Illustrator. I use the magic wand to select the edges and get a nice tight fit. But when I select the "Make work path from selection" button, I get a sloppy fit. I've looked this up, and supposedly I should get a dialogue box asking me to state the tolerance. I have never seen that box - I've tried it and had colleagues come try it. My version 13.1.2 x64. Seems like a bug to me, but maybe I'm missing something. Is there another way to do this? Thank.s

Other ways are to right click inside the selection and choose Make Work Path or use the flyout menu from the Paths panel and choose Make Work Path.
Hah! I didn't know that RK
[EDIT] As an aside to the above information, having had a play with it, I have realised how poorly the 'Make work path from selection' feature works in Photoshop. It has always worried me that distibution of points that result from using that feature on a Shift drag eliptical marquee circle, appear less than optimal, but I have just lived with that because it is quick and convenient. But having just looked again, zooming right in and activating the point handles, the curve is just plain horrible!
Me thinks I shall take the time to do it properly in future, by using the Shape tool.
It also amazed me how many points were used when setting tolerance to the minimum of .5
Anyway... I am not getting my work done here, so time to earn a living

How to use imported paths from Photoshop/Illustrator as motion guides

Hi folks,
I've been raking the internet with no success for an answer to my question, but I've had no luck so far.
What I'm hoping to achieve animation wise is to have a shape move around a set path that was created in Photoshop. The reason being, it's a very specific shape (near enough a square but with curved corners and a chunk missing out of one of the sides), and I used the paths feature in Photoshop to create it and stroke the path for the smoothest possible effect. What I'd ideally like to do is import the same path I used to create the shape into Flash Professional CS6 and then use that same path to guide a small symbol around the edge of the square.
So far, I've worked out how to apply motion to a symbol through basic tweens, and then I can draw out a line using the pencil tool and apply that to the tween so it follows the pencil line instead of just going from point A to point B. The problem is, this looks awful...I'm not good enough with a mouse to create absolutely perfect shapes freehand, so I just want to be able to use the Photoshop path as my motion guide instead of having to make another one from scratch.
I've looked around for various importing methods, the most success I've had is exporting the paths to an Illustrator file, and then importing the Illustrator file into Flash directly. However, I have NO idea where these paths go when they're imported, or how to access them. If I import them to the stage, they seemingly disappear before I've even seen them, and if I import them to the library they just aren't there.
I could also do with a brief description of how paths work in Flash - I'm familiar with the Photoshop layout, what with the paths appearing in a panel next to the layers one (makes perfect sense to me, as you can just switch between the two panels to view whatever you want). I just don't understand how they work in Flash and what I should be looking for....
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Todd

I had a play around with some variations of this. What I can't grasp is why Flash won't recognise my shape layer as a motion path. I've tried breaking it down, that doesn't work... I traced it narrowly in Photoshop and imported it as a thin line with a gap (so essentially a line with two ends), and it comes into Flash as a bitmap or something of that sort. I found an option that traces the bitmap, and appears to convert it into a shape layer...I've managed to find the optimal settings so the line is joined all the way through apart from the start and end points. The only thing is, Flash seems to not even notice this as a guide layer when I apply it to the symbol I'm trying to animate. It just doesn't even notice it's there. The object moves straight from point A to point B in a straight line, the guide layer does nothing to adjust the motion... Is it not possible for the traced line to act as a motion guide? It's a shape, it is a single line with a start point and an end point, and there are no other instances of anything else in the layer - just the line and nothing else.
This seems way more difficult than it should be...I'm sure Adobe could have integrated a MUCH easier system for importing paths from Photoshop that actually exist in Flash rather than disappearing into some abyss instead!
Here is a screenshot of what I'm working with: http://gyazo.com/4c1046767e1ee8bf99f65751b9ba81b8
The long black oval is the shape I'm trying to animate. I've tried applying tweens to it while it's in shape form and while it's in every different symbol form, all to no avail.
The black line is what I'm trying to use as the guide. Having looked online, people seem to be able to just use the "paste in place" option and it somehow knows exactly what they mean and animates around the line perfectly. I tried that and it didn't work (no surprise there), and then I tried the motion guide layer setup and it also didn't work. I'm not sure if tracing a bitmap into a shape layer somehow removes any possibility of the line being recognisable as a line or something...could that be the case?
Is there a simple way to turn a shape layer (in this case the black line) into a motion guide that I'm missing? I thought just turning the layer into a guide layer would do the trick, but obviously not :/

How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look. Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
(Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail: you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..." If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
Anyway, glad that all is now sorted. Enjoy the music!

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
Thanks for any ideas.

First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation. I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times. All hard drive will eventually fail. It's a question of when, not if.
I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files. You can try importing these directly into fcp.
If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
or
Magic Bullet Grinder
http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy. HDV is a problematic format. Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

Thks for the contribution. However, it seems I cannot solve my problem with the kindly proposed solution.
Let me rephrase my problem:
I off-line prepare, organize photos and also add manually individual photo captions with PE12 Organizer. In the properties panel, I can check that the photo properties (including captions) are properly associated with the photo.
However when I upload on Revel -directly with PE12 Organizer (selecting Share/Private Web Album)- these individual (accordingly captioned) photos or albums, I cannot find the photo captions (i.e. the photo caption did not directly show up with the photo in Revel). This obliges me to a double work by copying and pasting each photo caption.
Is there any plan to get rid of that ?
Let me add that I am using the French version of PE12

How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

I am not sure this is going to work. For one thing, the preferences file is in a different place in Mountain Lion. It is at: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.pli st. I wouldn't try to move the .plist file, I'd be very surprised if it would work.
I would do a different approach and start with just recreating the mail account(s) you have on the new machine from scratch and let them download your mail from the server. Then if there were e-mails not on the server any more, but stored in the black macbook, I'd copy them from the mailboxes folder, from the old machine to the new. I'm not sure where they are in 10.5.8, but in ML they are at ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes.
At each stage along the way I'd do a backup, so in case it screws things up, you can revert to a functional Mail.app.

You would really need to export copies from the Aperture database, to folders on your hard drive and then import them into Organizer.
Or continue with Aperture (don’t use Organizer) and simply send photos to the Elements Editing app as required.

How do i import PSD's from my Computer and keep layers?

How do i import PSD's from my Computer and keep the layers?
I have tried using the creative cloud but it is pretty much a useless feature when it only imports PSD's as JPG, deleting all the layers.

I believe that PSDs imported into PS Touch simply are flattened; they are not converted to JPG. I think this was done to protect the integrity of the app. (The number of layers available in PS Touch are much more limited due to the hardware. It's like 16 I believe vs. the theoretical thousands or so layers in Photoshop.) You can, of course, do the reverse (save as PSD in PS Touch and have the integrity of the layers preserved in Photoshop).
