Image files look like a garbled mess of fragments of other files

Ever since I updated to the latest version of Photoshop, images have occasionally opened looking like this:
The garbled mosaic here is composed of previously opened images. Any idea what's going on?
This is on a Mac running Yosemite and Photoshop CC 2014.

I think Chris Cox (part of Adobe staff) mentioned this was something to do with a video driver bug on Yosemite.

You can try putting it into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
If that works, you can see if the computer will recognize it when connected, either in iTunes or by the system.
NOTE: You can also try putting it into Disk Mode WHILE it is already connected to the computer.
If the iPod is recognized, you may be able to use one of the third-party methods or utilities to transfer song files from iPod to computer. You can do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer" to get some links (add "mac" to the search if your computer is a Mac).
Once the song files are on your computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library, then sync it to the new iPod.

I have a question about extracting pages. When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf". Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files. It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name. Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

My iMac 20 inch 2.4 has developed a very annoying flicker. It looks like somebody is messing with the brightness but than really quick. Any ideas on how to solve this problem ?

My almost four year old iMac 20 inch 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo has recently been giving me a headache. The screen is flickering a lot. It looks like somebody is messing with the screen brightness at a really fast rate. I have no idea what it could be but have tried to recalibrate the screen, stopped certain dashboard apps, even changed the desktop picture and screensaver. Has anybody else had the same problem or could somebody help me in getting rid of this flicker. It feels like it is a software issue as it happens intermittently rather than continuous.
Pleas help me !

No light on my Time capsule when plugged in (fuse checked and OK) - looks like a dead unit, can I recover the files on it?

Use migration assistant.

Although this is only up to Mountain Lion it is still relevant to Mavericks.. only expect Mavericks to kick and buck a lot more.

Why the exported JPG file looks like completely black?

I've already exported a PDF file by Indesign, but when I exported it to JPG file (by Acrobat), the JPG looks like almost compeletely black. But When I exported it to PNG, or Open this JPG by PS, and save it again, the image looks like normal (no black). This is PDF creating problem ( by indesign) or JPG creating problem (by Acrobat)?

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
You can try to search for a theme that looks better for you or maybe a solid persona with a suitable color.

Maybe you had installed an action into your previous version of photoshop elements?
Anyway here's an action that will work in pse 11, although the look is a little different.

Fake still images to look like video

Hi.
I'm adding some still images to a project. And they look rather dull. I don't want to move them arround, instead I had the idea to add a grain effect to make them look like video. I can't find any effect to do this in FCP 5.1. Any ideas?

[CGM Aged Film|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/cgmagedfilmle_eiperlecgmtv.htm l] has a grain control, just turn off the dirt, hairs and tint controls.
You could also mix in a tiny amount of noise: Effects > Generators > Render > Noise.

Why are my RAW files looking like infrared?

Hi All,
I use Aperture frequently for my editing - just recently had a ridiculous problem that results in my RAW files looking infrared.
Have I enabled only a red channel or something?? Please help! See pic!

Wow, what a silly oversight - I knew I had had an update to do, but hadnt bothered with it yet. Thanks a bunch Ernie, I should have thought of us.
Much appreciated.

I have a digital performer file created on os9 that wont open in OSX the file looks like a unix file.

Is there a way to convert old os9 files so OSX can use them? The only apps that will open it is Text edit and Terminal.
jimi

Many document types created in OS 9 apps are openeable in OS X, depending on the OS X version.
For example, AppleWorks 6 documents are usable directly in OS X by using the OS X version of AppleWorks 6 (runs in all versions of OS X except Lion). In addition, AW6 text docs and spreadsheet docs can be opened in Pages and Numbers, respectively, in all versions of OS X.
Image files from OS 9 (jpeg, tiff, etc.) are openable by most image-capable apps in OS X.
As for a Digital Performer file, its format is probably proprietary; if that's the case, you'll need to acquire the OS X version of that app in order to open/use it in OS X.
If it's the program itself you talking about, rather than a document created by it -
No OS 9 app can be used directly in OS X, and such an app will often be reported by OS X as being a Unix executable.
In some versions of OS X (OS X 10.4 and earlier) OS 9 (9.1 minimum, 9.2.x is best) can be used as Classic in order to provide an environment in which many (but not all) OS 9 programs can be used. OS X 10.5 and later do not support Classic.

What kind of monitor is best for judging what the printed image will look like?

I am working on a 300+ page book that contains a lot of photos that I have converted from color to grayscale in photoshop. I am using a laptop computer and I cannot judge the quality of the photos on this laptop monitor. What is the best monitor for gauging what the finished product will look like? It is a hardcover book that will be offset printed. I do not know if this particular printer uses computer-to-plate technology or if it is "old style." Thanks!

A good one...like for example this:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?N=11083422&InitialSearch=yes&sts=pi
You need to set your calibration parameters very carefully. Eizo ColorNavigator (and NEC Spectraview) are the only calibrators that give you full control of the calibration parameters, because they communicate directly with the monitor. Hence my recommendation of the CS240, which is the least expensive model in this market segment. Excellent value for money.
Set the white point so that it is a visual equivalent to paper white, both in luminance and color. A little experimenting is necessary. Start around 100 cd/m² and 6300K, and adjust as needed. Ambient light affects your perception, which is why no fixed numbers can be given.
Even more important: set a realistic black point. Monitor manufacturers love to boast huge contrast ranges, like 1000:1 and so on. Impressive on paper, but in reality there's no way you'll get those deep blacks in print. Especially not offset print.
My starting point for offset is 0.5 cd/m², but often that turns out to be too low and I end up with 0.6 or even 0.7. This depends a lot on the paper stock.
Next, ask the printer what CMYK profile is used for the actual process. Here in Europe, that's most likely ISO Coated v2 300% (eci) or Coated FOGRA39, in other parts of the world it will be something else. Use Photoshop to soft proof to this profile. Again, the Eizo is wide gamut and covers ISO Coated almost 100%. A standard gamut monitor will be a lot less useful for soft proofing.
With a little experience and effort, you can get close to 100% reliable prediction on screen.

Publishing .index Vs .swf How to make my file look like the .swf Question

Hi, I currenly have a site published where the domain is reading
www.mysite.com/index.html (example)
When I view this site the image is not centered and when I expand it in different browers it does not look good.
When I view the site by looking at it through the exact location of where I have the flash, for example www.mysite.com/index.swf It's exactly how I want it to look.
Is there a code I can put into the html where I can have the same look as the .swf but view it with the .index.html
For example when I am testing the .swf extension and change the size of the browers or expand it, the flash movie is always centered and looks great in every brower.
I was thinking of changing the domains link to the .swf file to solve the issue, but is by having the .html extension provide greater serach information. What is it nessary?

You seem to be confusing the .swf file with the Web page that the .swf file goes on. For Internet delivery you want the index.html web page.
You can "Publish" the page directly from Flash. Under the "File" menu, look for Publish Settings and review ALL the options before "Publishing" the swf.
If you don't understand them, Google for that specific option.
Also review "Flash scaling"
Here are examples of different scaling parameters available in the Publish settings. You can also add these parameters directly in the html (<param name="scale" value="noscale"). All the examples replace the actual Flash dimensions with 100% for both width and height (width="100%" height="100%"). These examples use the old <object> and <embed> to illustrate the different ways to scale Flash. Once you understand how it works I’d recommend that you use swfobject to place the Flash in your final project.
View the source code for each page to see the full code.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/exact_fit.html
"exactFit" scales the file to fit exactly within the confines of the screen, irregardless if the movie becomes consequently distorted. The original aspect ratio is not maintained. So round things are not round and squares are not square.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/noScale.html
"noScale" is the default setting, and causes the movie to be displayed at the originally designed dimensions.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/no_border.html
"noBorder" causes the movie to be scaled to what ever dimensions are needed to have no border surrounding the movie within the player, which consequently could result in some of the movie being cut off from view. In other words, the movie will maintain the original aspect ratio and will fill the screen completely. But if the movie has to be streched wider to fill both sides of the screen, it will also stretch taller, but then some of the top and the bottom of the movie may be cut off from view.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/show_all.html
"showAll" scales the movie to the size of the screen (which could cause pixelation if the file contains raster information), the difference between showAll and exactFit is that showAll mantains initial movie size proportions. Because it maintains the original aspect ratio, there can be space to the sides or the top and bottom. But everything always shows and they are not distorted. But notice the photo in the center, it becomes pixilated at larger screen resolutions.
The trickiest part of trying to go full screen is that it’s difficult to make the Flash wider without making it taller also, that is, to maintain the correct proportions or aspect ratio of everything on the stage. These methods are just simple scaling accomplished with html. There are also methods to dynamically scale the stage and it’s elements using Actionscript… but that’s a much more complex undertaking.
Best wishes,
