How to save 4 bit .bmp file in photoshop

I saved gif file to 4 bit bmp file, but the next time I try doing it I cannot, the photo shop does not support it. If I have to do I have to do it I have to close photoshop and open the application once again to save another gif file to bmp. I need a quick solution because there are 1000's of icon that needs to be saved to 4 bit bmp files. I need help please... Thanks

No, it is not possible.
PNG doesn't support layers.
A few apps stuff their own private data into PNG to hide layer data, but well, it's private undocumented data.

How to convert a jpeg file into a 1-bit bmp file (2 colors image)

Hi. I�m having serious problems to convert a jpeg file into a 1-bit bmp file (2 colors image).
I�m using FileSaver.saveAsBmp(String t) but what i get is a bmp image, but with 16M colors, but what i want is a 2 colors bmp file. A black and white image.
Does anybody know how to do this? I�m really getting crazy with ths problem.

How to save a text or file in *doc?

Drag an image to the desktop saves as a bmp file

dragging an image from a webpage to Windows Explorer or compliant program (xplorer2 or Zoner, or FastStone Image or desktop etc) saves as a .bmp file (mostly!). Invariably *.bmp files are large files and since the original format would be jpg or png I have to convert back to these formats.

It’s the single worst feature of Firefox Mozilla.
What the point of having private browsing if this is going on.
You find the files in (user name)/appdata/local/temp
its a hidden folder. when i looked i 3gigs of bmp files
that not cool at all!! gerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

How to save downloaded update installer files

How can I locate a downloaded update installer file so I can save it and use to install on another mac without having to download all over again? Today I downloaded updates for OS X and also for Office 2011. The first is over 2GB and the second around 300MB. I have installed on my Macbook Pro, but I have another 3 units to update. I live in a 3rd world country with very slow internet and it takes me days to download such files.

Grateful for you having replied but for some reason I seem unable to open your message "Re: How to save downloaded update installer files". Waikato99

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor-..my files convert to jpegs

How do I open my raw files in photoshop elements 12 editor. I have a MacBook. I use the iPhoto and move the files I want to work on into elements, but it converts the raw files into jpeg files.
Thanks for your help!!!

Are you opening the image directly from iPhoto? Right click & choose Edit in >> Photoshop Elements Editor
This link is old but gives information on set up. It relates to PSE11 but the principle is the same. In iPhoto prefs you navigate to the editor application in the support files folder. Start from Finder by holding down the Alt (Optn key) and choosing Library.

How do I convert a pdf file to photoshop?

how do I convert a pdf file to photoshop?

unless you understand what you're doing and why, opening .pdf in Photoshop is a very risky move
because any vector objects, including fonts, will be pixelized (rastered at the chosen document ppi)
this really sucks if the designer delivered a professionally packaged PDF with vector elements because the vector will not print vector sharp
for example
a moron at a print shop drags PDF business cards or posters into Photoshop and prints pixelized vector objects -- when you ask why the vector didn't print sharp -- they are clueless
you also may hit profile issues that change the designer's color
there must be 50 ways to ruin a project (and 25 of them are downstream)...

Looking for Help on How To Save Video as Divx File

Can someone help? I have iMoive 4.0.1 and I need to save video clips as a Divx file. I go to the "share" button and try to compress the clip for Quicktime and choose expert settings. This gives me a list of options including Divx AVI. When I choose this option, the file is turned into an .avi file not a .divx file. ANd there is no other Divx choice available. I have talked to another iMovie user (v4.0.1., too) and--the odd thing--on his option list he has Divx (not Divx AVI). So I need assistance in either finding another way to do this with my existing 4.0.1. or finding a plug-in that will allow me to save as a Divx file. Or--if no one can tell me how to do this--let me ask if anyone out there knows whether iMovie HD 5.0 or iMovie 6.0 would allow me to do what I need to do. Thanks.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Divx isn't a standard option, so you have downloaded some third party support for Divx. Try the latest version.

How to save pictures to a file outside of IPHOTO

How you do you save photos to another file that isn't in Iphoto? I was trying to upload some photos to a webhosting site and I had the hardest time trying to find the library they were in. I ended up dragging the all to the desktop and renaming them.
Is there an easier way to this? I did see the export feature..is that what I use and how do I do multiple photos?
Thanks
CC

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but lets see if I cannot give you some idea.
If you got to \User\yourname\Pictures\iPhoto Library\ Right click iPhoto Library and select Show Package Contents.
In there, you will probably see 2 folders titled "Modified" and "Original"
In those folders, you will see your pictures categorized into Years.
Good luck. Hope thats what you were looking for.

How to save "sites" in separate files?

I am working with three different sites (work, personal, etc.) and would like to save them as separate files, not as part of a single domain package. Is this possible without having to create separate user identities?
Also, having saved two sites in iWeb, they are put in the domain.sites packages. Looking into the package I can’t distinguish which files belong to which sites. Any ideas,
Cheers,
Reb

You could try this: create a site. Move the domain.site file to a folder named for the site. Start iWeb and create another site. Repeat. When you want to work on a specific site move its domain.site file into the iWeb application support file.
Yep, a total pain in the neck. However it is either that or use a different user account for each site. My own experimentation has determined that as the total domain.site folder grows the save time grows tremendously.
It's likely that before long someone will write a little utility to do this automatically.
