How to change the bit-depth

When opening photos through Bridge into Photoshop CS5, all photos open in 8 bit mode. Bridge shows my photos in 16 bit Mode. How can I change the default settings in Photoshop CS5 to open into 16 bit Image Mode?

Can I change the bit depth on images in pdf files?

I have a lot of pdf files that were scanned in 24 bit colour. I'd like to convert some of them to greyscale or black and white, and reduce the resolution to make them smaller.
I can see how to reduce the resolution with Save As Other/Optimized PDF, but there are no options there to reduce bit depth. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks, I think I've worked out how to use them. I found a fixup called "Convert color to B/W", but it seems to convert to greyscale, not black and white.
I found this page describing how to convert to both greyscale and monochrome. It says the only way to do monochrome is to convert to tiff first:
http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2009/10/converting-color-pdf-to-greyscale-pdf-an-update/
If that's the case then Acrobat Pro isn't going to help me, but that was written in 2009. Does anyone know if true black and white conversion has been made available since then?

How do I change the bit depth when i edit with a plugin

I have the latest version of Aperture and the latest version of Perfect Photo Suite from OnOne software. My problem is that when I r/click on a photo in Aperture and click edit with plugin and chose with Perfect Photosuite it sends a file to Photosuite but a 16 bit file. I only want it to send an 8 bit file but despite altering the settings in Aperture-presets-image export and setting it to 8 bit it still sends a 16 bit file. Am I missing something that is completely obvious?

Try setting the external editor preferences in Aperture->Preferences->Export
Even though it says it's for the external editor some edit plugins respect these settigs also.

How do I change the bit rate for dls?? How times can I download one song??

I'm new to iTunes. I already downloaded 3 songs when I realized that the default bit rate is 128Kbps. I tried changing the bit rate to 192Kbps with a (Variable Bit Rate) checked.....unfortunately when I downloaded the next 2 songs the bit rate turned out to be the same.
Do I have to restart Windows or iTunes before downloading again?
And now that I have 5 songs with a lower br than I wanted... in order for me to have(download) the song at the higher bit rate...Is it possible to download one song more than once?
Thanx.

You have no choice as to bit rate when purchasing from the iTunes Music Store. The official bit rate of all tracks there is 128 kbps (a very few have been reported to be at higher rates, but that's not a choice you can make, it's how the track was encoded by the record company). The setting in the iTunes Importing preference is for tracks you import from CDs only and has no effect on iTMS purchases.
Is it possible to download one song more than once?
No. Except in extraordinary circumstances, the iTMS allows only one download per purchase.

How do I reduce the bit depth of images to 1-bit within Acrobat 9?

I am hoping a simple solution exists within Acrobat 9 for reducing the bit-depth of images to 1-bit.
I know of two methods that both seem more like workarounds. One, edit the image using Photoshop. Two, without Photoshop, export the page as a 1-bit PNG and recreate the page in Acrobat. It seems like one of the preflight fixups should be able to get it done with the right settings. But, it's a labyrinth of unfamiliarity.

There's no predefined 1-bit conversion in Preflight because it doesn't make sense. Preflight will not dither bitmaps, so most images will become black squares. Extreme color conversion is only intended for text/vector objects.
If you want to try it anyway, you can create a custom Fixup if you have a 1-bit ICC profile.
Preflight > Single Fixups
Options menu > Create new Preflight Fixup
Name it something like "Convert all to 1-bit BW"
Search for "Convert colors" in the type of fixup box and add it
Destination tab > Destination > your ICC profile for 1-bit black
Uncheck "use destination from Output Intent"
Keep everything else as default, though I'd suggest using "Embed as output intent for PDF/X" if you're making PDF/X documents
Conversion Settings tab > All Objects + Any Color (except spot) + Convert to destination + Use rendering intent
Press the + key to duplicate this step, and change the second copy to "Spot Color(s)"
Press + again and change the third copy to "Registration color"
Save the fixup and run it.
In case you don't have a 1-bit ICC profile installed, I've attached one.

How can I get my installed plugins to show up in Logic after ive installed the plugin discs? ive tried changing the bit mode. it STILL doesn't work.???

I tried installing a program but when i open logic and scan the audio units, it doesnt come up. Even if i change the bit mode, it still doesnt show up. I even tried restarting my machine..Can anyone help me or give me some ideas.
i just wanna get this plugin to work.

Have you confirmed that the plug-in installed to one of the locations where Logic might find it? Most plug-ins go to /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components. Some (rarely) install to ~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components (where "~" is your user folder). Look in both locations and see if the plug-in is actually there.
When installing plug-ins, if you are offered options as to what format to install, be sure to include Audio Units. Logic will not see other formats like VST, RTAS, AAX, TDM, etc. If you use other software that recognizes those formats, it's fine to install them too, just be sure you don't deselect Audio Units.
Finally, if you're sure the plug-in is installed to the right place, open the Audio Units Manager in Logic and check to see if the plug-in passed validation. Go to the main menu and choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio Units Manager. Check to see if your plug-in is listed there. If there's not a check mark next to it in the "Logic" column, that means it failed validation. If so, the "Compatibilty" column will tell you why. Keep in mind that if the AU is 32-bit, you have to launch Logic in 32-bit mode to see it here. Likewise, 64-bit plug-ins show up in the manager in 64-bit mode.

How do change the default "Save As" from PSD to JPG?

I know a while back, Photoshop was offering to save my files as JPEGs as default. But now it defaults to saving as a PSD file, and I am having some difficulty figuring out how to make it save as a JPG file instead.
OS: CS 5.1 Production Premium, Mac
Adobe Photoshop 5.1
Thanks!

Some of the posters up in this thread implied that this is a problem and/or is somehow not logical (yes, I know some of the posts are old).
That's not the case. There actually is rhyme and reason. Understanding it could help you make better decisions while using Photoshop.
Photoshop has a concept that you will be working with master documents and occasionally saving copies as work products. Conceptually a master document is saved into a file and loaded from a file so that it maintains all the features you added while editing.
So Photoshop considers that JPEG can actually house a master document IF (and only if) all the features of your document can be saved in the JPEG format. For this to be true, the document has to be a flat single layer, 8 bits/channel, and without other things such as extra channels. It can have paths.
Here's the logic as I understand it:
IF the last time you saved or opened the master document you're working on you saved it as a JPEG, and IF all the features currently in the document can be saved as a JPEG, your default format in the File - Save As menu will be JPEG.
If you change or add something in the document - say create a layer (or turn the Background into a layer), add a channel, or increase the bit depth to 16 - the next time you try to save it Photoshop will offer to save it in e.g., PSD format, since that format is now needed to save and re-load all the additional features of the document that you have added. At this point, if you override the default format and change it to JPEG, you'll find the [ ] As a Copy option will be automatically be given a checkmark which you can't change, indicating you cannot save all the current document features in that format.
For brand new documents you've just created, I believe Photoshop simply checks to see if the current document can be completely saved in the last master document format you saved something else in successfully, and offers that as the default if everything about the document will "fit" in that format. So if a few minutes ago you saved a JPEG master document, then you created a new flattened image in 8 bits/channel and now you do File - Save As, it will offer JPEG as the default choice.
Someone please correct me if I've missed anything here.

How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys?

How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys an see at the same time the changes on the photo?
It worked under Windows, now I use OS 10.8 and have to apply a preset with a click or Return button but after that the pop-up menu close so I have to open it once again to change a preset. Please help. Thank you!

The filter panel is a shortcut for the content panel and it only effects the content of that window. So if you have a folder it will only see this as a folder and not with its content. (a Stack behaves about the same, being different in only counting the first file in the filter panel criteria but not what is in the stack itself)
You have a view work arounds, first is use menu view / show items from subfolders (this can take some time especially if you have not used caching before on this content) and this builds visible thumbs for all content and that can be used for filtering.
Or use the find command (Edit / find) and inhere specify the source and fill in the criteria include subfolders and this will give you the correct result.
When you create a smart collection the find command also pops up given you the same opportunity to get the results in a collection, but since a collection is only a bunch of aliases referring to the originals you might be a bit careful with editing and deleting.

Thanks for the reply. But please clarify a bit. Please below is my requirement.
As per the SAP Avilable screen in T Code CN41,it is showing the scale of 1 and 2 only.

Illustrator File Document Mode How to change the default?

Does anyone know how to change the default to RGB?
And, can anyone help explain why, when I put an .eps (logo) into a QUark 8 file and upload as PDF through distiller, the .eps file appears with a partial white box behind it - i need transparency.

Is it a one bit eps file, that is one color?
EPS is not a transparent format.
Have you tried Photoshop Quark 8 I believe supports photoshop files with transparent background. I believe.
Try exporting it as a psd. I also believe that Quark 8 supports .ai files as well.

How to change the JFrame's titlebar's icon's context menu's font?

Hi everyone.
I want to know how to change the font of the text that appears in the context menu originated from right clicking at the icon that's all the way to the left in the titlebar of JFrames that use the default look and feel for decoration (JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true); // which uses the Metal L&F, Ocean theme).
I searched around and found nothing. I thought that I could use what I learned at https://forums.oracle.com/message/9221826, but I couldn't come up with something that worked.
Thanks in advance.t

After some more messing around, I finally made it! I like Java so much that it makes me a bit sad how hard it is to do stuff like this. Anyway, I found a method here to recursively change the font of all components from a JFileChooser, but it doesn't work on the JPopupMenu (now I know the name) that pops up from the titlebar's icon. So I messed around with that method, used some casting, and was able to change the JMenuItems' font:
public static void setSubComponentFont (Component comp[], Font font) {
    for (int x = 0; x < comp.length; x++) {
        if (comp[x] instanceof Container) {
            setSubComponentFont(((Container)comp[x]).getComponents(), font);
        try {
            //comp[x].setFont(font);
            if (comp[x].toString().contains("JMenu")) {
                for (Component y : ((JMenu)comp[x]).getPopupMenu().getComponents()) {
                    if (y.toString().contains("JMenu")) {
                        y.setFont(font);
        } catch (Exception ex) {}
I was inspired to use .toString().contains() by this thread.
I also did this with nested loops, so the path to the menu items can be seen:
for (Component a : frame.getLayeredPane().getComponents()) {
    System.out.println(a.toString());
    if (a.toString().contains("MetalTitlePane")) {
        for (Component b : ((Container)a).getComponents()) {
            System.out.println(b.toString());
            if (b.toString().contains("SystemMenuBar")) {
                for (Component c : ((Container)b).getComponents()) {
                    System.out.println(c.toString());
                    for (Component d : ((JMenu)c).getPopupMenu().getComponents()) {
                        System.out.println(d.toString());
                        if (d.toString().contains("JMenu")) {
                            d.setFont(font);
Every System.out.println() gives a hint to what should go on the following if condition, so they should be used one at a time. This doesn't work for the JFileChooser's title font though. When I have time I'll either look further into it or ask another question.
So, if someone else needs it like I did, here it is. As a tip, System.out.println() and .toString() are your friends! That's how I learned what was contained in each object, and what path I needed to take to get to the objects of interest.
Thanks anyway!

How can edit the Bit Rate on my music?

I have downloaded some lectures that are below 128 Bit Rate, so they are not being uploaded onto iTunes Match.
I was told to change the Bit Rate to 128, and that would solve the problem.
How do I do that????

Thank you Airsculpture- I have gone into the menu bar on iTunes, but I can'rt seem to find the location where to choose or select a highter Biz Rate. Can you give me a little more guidance please?
Limnos- I understand it will not improve the quality. I just need to increase the Biz Rate so it is accepted on iTunes Match. Any Biz rate lower than 128, will not be accepted.
