How to reliably crash PS CS5

Not that you'd want to do this but here's another way to crash PS 5 EXT (PC/64 bit win7) every time.
1. Create a 20000 x 260000 CMYK image, saved as psb (yes this is huge but well within PS limits)
2. Add a levels adjustment layer
3. Modify this layer by drawing a ND gradient mask (right left) roughly 1/4 of the image width to the right of center
4. Then, attempt to modify this mask by transforming what you just drew via ctr-T, grab a handle and move it a bit
5. CRASH! every single time
This also occurs on files 1/2 and 1/4 this size so that isn't it. I don't think the color space has anything to do with it either.
An answer would be nice, but unlikely given the wait times to build these things...

It's not killing Photoshop on my side. But I have a few questions:
1. Are you on a 64-bit system?
2. From step 1, are you actually creating a document that is 20k x 260k or was that just one extra zero added accidentally?
3. From step 3, what is an "ND" gradient mask?

Droste filter crashes AE cs5

I recently downloaded the Droste filter. Whenever I try to use it, it crashes AE cs5 immediately with the error message: After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in “Droste”.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

We can't know. you have not provided any system information or otehr details. Since PixelBender uses hardware acceleration, the bog standard answer would be that your graphics hardware is incompatible or at least you need to update your drivers.

How's Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?

This is the first thread on the new Adobe Media Encoder forum, so I thought that it would be appropriate to open it up by just asking a general question:
How is Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?
Please be sure to install the Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (5.0.1) update. Instructions for updating are included in this post about the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update.
If you're having a specific problem that you want help with, or if you have a specific question, please start your own thread on this forum. This thread is intended for general feedback about how Adobe Media Encoder CS5 is working out for you.

First of all IT IS GREAT and I use it a lot I also used the CS4 version before!
But I have to report two issues about version CS5:
1. I bought the English version of the production premium CS5 but I have a German operating system (win7 64bit) all other adobe application are in English except Adobe Media Encoder it shows up in German language! Not a show stopper but should be fixed.
2. Recently I wanted to encode a video into an h264. I made some custom settings for that and the encoded video played very stuttered in Microsoft Media Player 12 (like 12fps instead of 25fps [settings were set correct in AME]) but fine in Quicktime and VLC Player (execpt for the gamma bug but that's an other story...)
I did a lot of testings and found the issue! Sometimes when you change a lot of the h264 settings (don't know when it happens exactly) Media Encoder seems to not set the fps correctly allthough AME shows 25fps in it's settings this setting is not encoded into the final file!
Quicktime and VLC seems not to care about the missing information but Windows Media Player gets confused.
It does not happens when using a preset in AME it only happens when changing a lot and using custom settings!
You can see the missing fps setting when right clicking the encoded file and choose properties (german:Eigenschaften) switch the tap to Details and there is no fps setting in the stuttering files but when encoded with a preset in AME there is the correct 25fps setting!
I have attached a screenshots to demonstrate it:
My workaround so far was to choose a preset with 25fps and close to my desired settings and change as few as possible - Fingers crosses and with a chance of 3/4 I was able to encode a working file containing the fps setting in it which plays perfect in Microsoft Media Player!
I hope you take a look into this issue because if you have a long file and you have to encode it again because it fails....... uiuiui
Thanks Todd for the possibility to give this direct feedback to Adobe
This is real support!

How to RELIABLY compare two File objects?

Hi java community!
I have two File objects and I need to know whether they both point to the same file on the system. First, I tried using the equals() method of the File object, but later I found that this often returns false even when file being pointed to by both objects is the same file.
For example:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    File mFileA = new File("C:\\PROGRA~1\\MYPROG~1\\MYDATA~1.TXT");
    File mFileB = new File("C:\\Program Files\\My Program\\My Data File.txt");
    DataInputStream mInputA = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(mFileA)));
    DataInputStream mInputB = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(mFileB)));
    System.out.println("Contents of file A:");
    while (mInputA.available() > 0) {
      System.out.println(mInputA.readLine());
    System.out.println("\nContents of file B:");
    while (mInputB.available() > 0) {
      System.out.println(mInputB.readLine());
    System.out.println("\nAre file A and file B the same file?");
    System.out.println(mFileA.equals(mFileB) ? "Yes" : "No");
}Running this gives the following output:
Contents of file A:
First line of the file.
Second line of the file.
Third and final line of the file.
Contents of file B:
First line of the file.
Second line of the file.
Third and final line of the file.
Are file A and file B the same file?
NoIt seems that the different representation of the paths (short 8.3 file names, vs. long file names) is confusing Java into believing that they are two separate files, even though the example above confirms that they are in fact the same file by showing the contents from input streams derived by the two File objects (which are, needless to say, identical).
So, does anyone know how to reliably determine whether two File objects point to the same file?
Cheers,
Martin

How do I update my CS5 so that I can process my Fuji X-E1 raw files

How do I update my CS5 so that I can process my Fuji X-E1 raw files

you need camera raw 7.2 or better: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
so, you'll probably need to use dng converter 7.4 because your cs5 program won't accept a 7.2+ update. but check first because it's not clear what cs5 program you're trying to use.

How do I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 and how much does it cost in New Zealand?

How do I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 and how much does it cost in New Zealand?

If you don't want to go the Cloud route and subscribe then Adobe still sells CS6 (online only) via their website
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html
(make sure you're in the NZ store - check the Country the link above the Copyright at the bottom LHS of the page)
Select your product then click Buy
I want to buy: Select Upgrade from the dropdown menu
I own: <select your existing CS5.5 product>
Complete your purchase.
Upgrade cost depends on which CS5.5 suite you own and which CS6 suite you want to upgrade to.

How do you make PP CS5 use more allocated physical memory???

As you know, you can go to Preferences > Memory and change the amount of RAM reserved for other applications.
Now, I have 8 GB of RAM installed (Windows 7), and I have set my “RAM reserved for other applications” option to 1.5 GB. That leaves 6.5 GB of memory for Adobe AE, Pr, Encore and Media Encoder.
Here’s the problem: every time when I’m rendering or exporting in Premiere, I can see through Task Manager that Premiere uses only 1.5 or 2.0 GB of the physical memory, not the 6.5 GB that I’ve allocated. I know the rest is reserved for other applications, but none of them are running at the moment. So, how can I make PP CS5 use more of all the physical memory that’s left?

Memory management in CS5 is clever enough to use an amount of memory that minimizes the use of the page file and maximizes buffers, However that depends on the material in the project, the effects and transitions used, the export format and the hardware in use.
There is no sense in using large amounts of memory, when other components cause waiting before the contents of memory can be offloaded. Just as it makes no sense to use a Ferrari in traffic jams.

I think it might have been an Apple security update, still doing research on this problem. Anyone else have any insight??? I called Adobe today and they couldn't fix it. DreamWeaver CS5 crashes on saving on Mac OS 10.6.8, a huge bummer.

How can I download Photoshop CS5 which I bought for a Windows PC onto my Mac as the second computer?

It's not possible. Serial numbers are platform specific. Even if you install the CS5 trail version, it won't activate with your PC serial. Your only option is to upgrade to Creative Cloud.
