How do you make a .ico file in Photoshop CS6?

I used to use a plugin in previous versions, but the file formats sub-directory is missing from the plugins directory. See screenshot :
Surely this should be possible in CS6 (extended even) straight out of the box given that every web developer on the planet needs to make loads of these ...

I read this thread today to try and place the .ICO plugin in the plugins folder.
It didn't work for me either. However.... I found for some reason when I installed CS6 on to my 64bit PC.... it has installed it in two different places.
The first place I tried was in the [Progam Files x86] - seems the right place...right? Not so, for some reason.
Whereas... I found a Photoshop CS6 file in [Program Files] folder too. Popped the plugin in there.... and it worked.
Not sure why I have two installs...? but hey it works.
Cheers to those with useful comments.
#rolleyes at those who didn't.
Thanks folks.

How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended?

How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended that you can map artwork to? I've been searched online for a solution that doesn't involve using a 3D program but can't find anything. Can't you extrude a shape like in Illustrator, or exporta true 3D shape from Illustrator that will work? I'd use Illustrator but the mapping thing is finicky, and doesn't alow wrapping images around angles. (now someones going to say: "Don't mention any other programs in a PHotoshop forum!" Yeah yeah, there should be a forum then about using different Adobe programs together.) End of rant, any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for your prompt response!
Suggested Bridge Update
It turns out that I got a message that this update had already been installed, which led me to more carefully look at the Bridge window and (finally) see that the Output module had a Quality dropdown: Full, 300 ppi, 150 ppi, 96 ppi and 72 ppi. Thanks! I decided to compare the CS4/Bridge results to those I got in CS2 with its convenient File/Automate/PDF Presentation/Multi-Page Document routine that I like.
My project was an 8-page PDF made from scanned pages of handwritten notes into which some fairly small type had been insert using the Photoshop CS2 Type tool. In Photoshop CS2, I had settled on "medium quality" JPEG compression as giving a "reasonable" file size (about 7 MB) and "very good/excellent" image quality. I experimented with making the PDF in Bridge, using all five Quality levels. See table below. The Bridge "good minus" file was about the same size as the file produced in CS2, which I judged to be "very good/excellent" and slightly better visually than the 300-ppi, 23.5-MB Bridge file.
Bridge Quality:
Full
300 ppi
150 ppi
96 ppi
72 ppi
File Size:
25.2 MB
23.5 MB
7.6 MB
3.2 MB
2.1 MB
Subjective Quality:
Very good
Very good
Good minus
Poor
Useless
I appreciate that you may not be all that interested in these observations, but it seems to me that Adobe has done us no favors in the multi-page PDF department in going from CS2 to CS4!
Install the Old Contact Sheet/Picture Package Plug-Ins
I had already done this some time ago, in order to get in CS4 the File/Automate/Contact Sheet II feature I liked in CS2. It does not appear to me that this plug-in has anything to do with make multi-page PDF's. Perhaps I'm missing something.
Again, thanks for your response!

How do I save an install file for Photoshop CS6

I need to get an install file for Photoshop CS6 (not CR) that I can use on a Windows PC that, due to security reasons, does
not have access to the internet. In the past I have been able to save the install file for Photoshop and/or Lightroom on my internet connected PC and then move it to the the target PC on a thumb drive or CD. But now with the CC and the new "Adobe Installer" I can't seem to see how to capture the install file.
Please let me know how to do this.

How do you make MP3 audio files?

I'm running for public office, and a local newspaper invited candidates to submit statements, along with MP3 audio files for display on its website.
So how does one make an MP3 audio file? Is this something I can do with my MacBook Pro and Leopard alone, or do I need to obtain a special software program?
Thanks.

Hi David!
As Francine mentioned, you will want to use the audio production software that came with your Mac, called Garageband. This will let you record speech, and even layer in music, etc. And when everything is set as you like it, the sound file can be exported in a variety of formats. It will provide a great basic audio recording solution for strictly voice and talking, but you can take things one step further and layer in a music track as an intro or outro if desired for a little more flair, edit out mistakes, etc. A great program that comes right with your Mac. There are nice basic tutorials on the Apple website which give an introduction to Garageband. Good luck David!

How do you make a Flash file 'searchable' to browsers?

I've heard that ywith Flash you can create an HTML wrapper
and create a style with hidden attributes so meta info can be seen
by browsers. Browsers are looking for content.
How is this done? Are there tutorials that show the process?
Are there 3rd party plug-ins that allow you to add searchable data
to a swf file placed in an HTML page?
Any direction or links to info on this would be appreciated,
Ken

I don't understand what is the problem. More exactly it is
your little
skills (sorry). Do you know what is <noscript> HTML
tag? It was
defined just for purposes like this. Just use some
JavaScript-based
code (like SWFObject) to put your Flash movie on page, and
then you
can insert anything you like between the <noscript>
</noscript> tags
pair. In any case you must begin from correct HTML headers
definition,
like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="%s" />
<meta name="keywords" content="%s" />
<meta name="author" content= "%s" />
<meta name="copyright" content= "%s" />
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days" />
<title>%s</title>
</head>
I've copied it from one of my projects, so Change "%s" to a
correct
string.
There is one problem here. Usual HTML pages have hyperlinks,
which
connects pages within one site. Using Flash you can't show
these links
to the search engine. What to do? Fortunately there is a
solution -
just use siteinfo.xml file at your website to help web
crawlers index
all of your pages. Of course, you can insert hyperlinks into
"noscript" area too, but siteinfo file is useful in any case.
HTH!

How can you make Automator see files with no extensions

I'm trying to create a workflow where Automator would have the Finder find Photoshop or TIFF files even if they don't have file extensions. If I choose Kind>Image, it gives me everything under the sun including every image from web sites I've visited during the period specified. If I use a file extension criteria, it misses any files of that type that don't have file extensions. I thought since file extensions aren't required in OS X that Automator would be able to tell even if the file extension is hidden.
Any suggestions other than go back and add extensions to all the files?
Thanks.

You kind of contradict yourself in your question.
If a file does not have a file extension in its name then in general your computer (including automator) has no idea what type of file it is or what you want to open it with.
I guess I didn't make myself clear. What I meant was that the file extensions are not visible. I'm not sure you can even create a file that doesn't have some associated extension. They're always either hidden or visible as far as I know. So I'm talking about visible file extension suffixes. And when they're hidden, the computer DOES know what kind of file it is. Since that is the case, I'm wondering if there's a way for Automator to also know even if a file extension isn't visible.
If however "the file extension is hidden" as you say at the end of your post then I take this to mean your files are named with .extension suffixes and you merely have finder set to not display extensions in which case you can still treat the files as belonging to a certain format.
That's exactly it.
I've been using Macs since 1984, and never got into the habit of using file extensions (suffixes) to the names when I switched to OS X. Now I find, though, that in Automator, it doesn't find files when the extensions are hidden. The Finder still recognizes file types even though the method it does so has changed. What I wanted to know is if there is any Automator action that would be able to find files of a certain type even if the extensions were hidden.
I'm not looking for a way to create file extensions from scratch or get into resource code. I'm just trying to find a way to work with the files I already have, that already have associations with programs and have associated file type extensions even though the suffixes are hidden.
So basically is there a way to do it or not without renaming all my files to make extensions visible? If there is, I'll use it. If not, I'll have to find a method of batch changing all the files.
Thanks.

How do you make a video file acceptable to Captivate 7?

I tried to attach a video and although the video was an .mp4, Captivate wouldn't allow it. I downloaded the FLV Converter, but it still won't accept the file.

This is what I did:
1. I added a "Caption and Content Right" slide to my presentation,
2. Then I clicked the "Insert Video Object" link on the new slide, selected the video from my computer (by browsing to find it) and
3. Clicked OK and got the following error message: Failed to load the video file. The file path or URL may be invalid.
So I downloaded the FLV Converter and converted my .MOV file to an .MP4 file and it still wouldn't load and I got the same error message.
