Importing duotone into ID CS5

I am creating a 2 color document in ID CS5. Duotones were created in Photoshop with black and a PMS color.
When I import an image into InDesign, it changes my spot color into cmyk instead of the pantone spot that I set up.
Now the printer is saying that the colored text is cmyk instead of 1 PMS color.
What is the problem??
Thanks.

Actually Indesign does not change anything. Your imported file is intact. Simply by export you have an option to chose how many plates you would like to generate.
Some designers work with color books only. They create a lot of Pantones in the document, even they are aware that finally the work will be printed "from 4 plates" - CMYK.
You have an option, by PDF export, to convert them all (or just few of them) to CMYK. Conversion is performed by official Pantone Inc. CMYK representations. This is very convenient workflow.

Error message when trying to import photos into Bridge CS5

Hi, when trying to import photos from a card reader into Bridge CS5, I click "get Photos" and get the following error message: "cannot obtain all files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged". It imports a small selection of the images from the sd card but that is all. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop computer with plenty of ram.
Any suggestions?

Hi station_two, thanks for your quick response.
I can confirm that its not the card reader/cable, usb port, defective sd card or the computer itself. I have already eliminated all these potential culprits through trial and error using different several ports/cards/readers and even a different computer (although not into bridge).
I am able to copy the photos from the same card/card reader into Lightroom on the same computer (incidentally, when using Lightroom it uses the term 'Import photos'!)
I am using a number of Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3s cameras (GH1/GF1/GX1). The sd cards have a combination of RAW and JPEG and the problem exists whether using 4GB or 16GB cards. I have plenty of space left on my hard drive and as stated, I'm running a fast desktop PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS) so I'm certain this is not the issue.
Could this possibly be a problem with the cache?

Problem Importing Footage into AE CS5.5

I'm having problems importanting 'avi' video from my Vado HD into AE CS5.5 - the videos playback just fine in Windows Media Player but when imported into After Effects the clip is greyed out & only the audio track is available. I can't understand the problem as the codec must be installed for the Media Player to play the files & I have checked this by loading the footage into GSpot with this result: Codec H264. Name H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. Installed. Really hope some one can help me with this.

Thank you for all your help Mylenium.
I'd already tried MPEGStreamclip with no joy - loads the footage in much the same as AE does [greyed box] & couldn't figure a successful way to convert it.
I was baffled by the wall of text relating to ffmpeg & couldn't figure out how to install/run it let alone convert any footage.
SUPER© was the golden nugget - not much trouble to install & find enough reference online to successfully convert my footage - many thanks.

PSD files not importing properly into AFX CS5?

I'm having a bit of trouble with After Effects CS5 and Photoshop CS5 .psd files.
Basically I've got a few images that I want to import into AFX as .psd files but when ever I do, all the images show the exact same image, yet when I open them in Photoshop CS5 the image that I made is there so I know I haven't saved over my files.
This occurs wether importing as multiple files or singular. I click the Photoshop sequence option as well as clicking the composition - keep all layer styles.
What am I doing wrong and why aren't my images showing up as individual images but rather all of them being the same one image regardless of what I've imported?
Do I have to import as footage rather than composition?
Thank you and hope that made sense, if not, please ask me to explain as I need to fix this quite fast.
Thank you.

Thank you for that.
I've just been importing them as footage and that seems to be working fine as well.
I shall try without the Photoshop Seqeunce ticked.

Import markers into Premiere CS5 from file

Hello out there!
We are developing a video annotation tool which can be used for segmenting, annotating and describing videos, quite similiar to how ClipNotes worked in Adobe Premiere CS4, but more sophisticated. Since we're developing the application in Java, we used the ClipNotes XML-format (xfdf) to exchange the segment information with Adobe Premiere. Segment-borders were represented as markers and could thus be imported into Adobe Premiere. Since Adobe Premiere CS5 doesn't support ClipNotes anymore, I was wondering if there is another/better alternative for importing markes from another application into Adobe Premiere using a standard exchange format. I tried to modify the projects-XML description (the prproj-file) but ran into some XML-issues (appearantly the order of XMl-attributes matters in the project-XML file?!). Is there anyone out there who has an idea how to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian Kirch

Have you looked at the SDK? If you don't get what you are looking for here, post in the Premiere SDK forum.

Need help importing files into Dreamweaver CS5.5

Greetings,
Currently I have website that is hosted on GoDaddy.com http://www.4thdist.org/home.php . This site was created by another person that is not available to help with my problem. I am attempting to modify or edit this website using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and having difficulties loading the files into Dreamweaver.
First, using Filezilla I downloaded all the files and folders to my PC. At this point, I am stuck and cannot figure out how to upload or open the files and really need some advice. I read the Adobe help section on "importing" and it describes a .ste file. I searched the download folder and cannot find any file (*.ste)
I am hoping to salvage the site and not have to reinvent the wheel and start over. Any advice would be extrmely helpful........Gary

Thanks for the quick reply.
Your comments raised some new questions. Let me update all on where I am. First, I am able to connect to GoDaddy server via the the local and remote views in the bottom right corner of DW. I see the file folder structure on GoDaddy. I can also see the file structure on my local hardrive that I copied using filezilla. Although, using the server connection I notice that I can download the files using this connection now. Should I delete what I did via filezilla and start over using the romote server connection? One more problem. I have content for two (2) websites on the remote server. http://www.vfwstatepoolleague.org/ This is in addition to the listed in my original post. Although, it appears the other website content is in a seperate folder. I assume that I will need to separtate this content somehow. At least link to it when I begin to start to create a .ste file for each site.
I started to read the article "Creating your first website"in your post and should be very helpful. I did run into a little road block.
I created (2) site names and linked to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. Although, I do not have: "check_cs5" folder on my local or remote folder. What does that mean? Should I create one?

Why do I see in the preview panel black edge on sides of imported jpegs into premiere CS5

We sized a jpeg in photoshop to 720 x 524 to import into premiere project frame size 720 x 480. Proportions all look good, but there is a black edge on each side of the jpeg in the preview panel. Will this show up when viewed on a tv screen once we create the dvd? On my preview tv screen, it looks like it will not show up, but I do not want to do this whole project that includes 50 jpegs and then have a problem? any good answers or things I should change.
Thank you

> I would have thought 540 myself to get a square pixel equivalent of 4:3 aspect ratio using 720 horizontal lines.
720x540 was the square-pixel equivalent before the correction that considers the difference between clean aperture and production aperture. In CS4 and later, it's 720x534.
There's a table of the square-pixel equivalents here. There are also presets in Photoshop that match this.

Importing PSD into Flash CS5

I have a PSD file with layers that I am trying to import into Flash. The problem that I am having is that the text effects that I have applied in Photoshop are not transferring into Flash. All I get is the Font, Font size, and color. But I used Drop Shadow on some of the and some other effects as well. None of these are transferring over to Flash. Do I have to save them in a certain way i n Photoshop in order to effect the transfer. I want to be clear. I am not trying to import text effects as separate layers or anything complicated. I just want the text to look like it does in photoshop. Can anyone give me a suggestion?
Thanks!
Nena

It doesn't matter which one you use to create graphics and assets. Photoshop is regarded as the standard from creating web graphics, ther e is just so much more you can do. I prefer Fireworls when creating slices, and Pnotoshop for optimizing images for export. Keep in mind that a Fireworks PNG is basically the same as a PSD file, with layers, etc. But either one can export as a web png, transparent background. When you import one of these into flash, just choose to import as a single bitmap.

Importing files into ID CS5.5

I need to create an E Book from .pdf files already designed. I see that ID does not allow .pdf files to be imported. I would think there is a way either thru using Acrobat, Photoshop or Illustrator to convert the .pdfs into files that would be importable. I also did a search on this and see there are converters outside of Adobe?
I'm a newbie to ID and need to know the best way to do this task.
Any help?
RD

File > Place is the command you are looking for but this is not the way the create an epub.
I will repeat my earlier assessment. It will look like crap.
Depending upon the layout you may have better luck converting the PDF directly to EPUB using Calibre.
Finally, what do you mean the PDFs have 2400x2395 pixel measurements? PDFs shouldn’t be measured in pixels unless they were already rasterized in Photoshop.

Losing quality with images when I import them into Premiere cs5

I am creating a video using a series of stills. I originally imported them as png's. I noticed that the images where degraded when they appeared in the timeline, and thought they would come out clear and crisp when I exported. But they remained the same quality in the export as they did in the timeline. I tried replacing the png's with other files and nothing seemed to import nicely, except when I converted the png's to PSD and imported the PSD's. The PSD's looked perfect in the timeline, until I rendered the timeline. And then immediately they degraded. I tried exporting just to see if it would produce a better result and it did not. I also noticed that the titles are degraded in the export as well.
I've gone through a bunch of forums and haven't seen an answer to my issue. My guess at this point is that it was something to do with interlacing or "fields", but I honestly don't know jack about that stuff. Should I be working in a different sequence preset? If so, which would be best for importing PNG's, or PSD's (RGB) as stills?
The goal here is to fix my current sequence and improve the quality of the stills in it. I would prefer not starting over

Export Spec:
1280x1080 29.97, progressive, quality 100, dvcpro hd 1080p30
render at maximum depth
optimize stills
I honestly don't know what the right export setting is, i'm just looking for something that produces a high def result. I know that my project framerate is 30 fps, so it should probably be exported for 30 fps.
Any help on this would be great. I've gone pretty much to the far corners of the internet and have found nothing of real help.

For the YouTube version, use the appropriate YouTube preset. If you have the upload bandwidth, change Target and Max from 8 to 50.
For the computer Master, you might try something lossless. I like the UT codec. (http://umezawa.dyndns.info/archive/utvideo/) It's free and works fine with Windows and Macs. The down side is that not many players can handle it, including the venerable VLC. I have to use Windows Media Player for those files.
Another option is MXF OP1a using the AVC-I 100 codec. It's not technically lossless, but it is damn close. But again, player support is somewhat limited for this format.
Of course, if you do up the bitrate to 50 in the YouTube export, that would not be a horribly copy to keep around. And it'll play in a lot more players.

Importing duotones in CS5

When I bring a duotone built in PhotoShop into my InDesign CS5 file, the colors I used to build that duotone always translate as RGB. Is there any way to specify a duotone as a CMYK document?

The two colors I used to create the duotone in PS were chosen using the picker rather than spot colors from the library. There doesn't seem a way to specify with the picker in PS that you want those colors to be CMYK rather than RGB from the duotone dialog box, since it' just lists info for many color spaces. When I import the image into ID, though, the swatches panel shows the imported duotone colors as RGB and there seems to be no way to change them.

How to Best Import QuarkXpress 8.0 Files into InDesign CS5

Folks,
Searched the forum, but I'm only finding info on older versions of Quark and InDesign.
I've got a ton of end user documents in QuarkXpress 8.0 that I need to import into InDesign CS5. (These are installation and operation manuals for data and telephony modems with lots of illustrations and diagrams in them.) I just downloaded the trial version of InDesign CS5 and could use some help.
The import procedure (for the older software) looked to be quite cumbersome. I'm hoping that InDesign CS5 is more capable and efficient at importing QuarkXpress files. I also read about Q2ID by Markzware. Does that product work with InDesign CS5, or is it even necessary with InDesign CS5?
Any advice and guidance will be appreciated. Got to get started soon!
Thanks for your help!

Hello Joel,
Thanks for your comments. I've done enough conversions in the past 25+ years as a tech writer to know that I will be faced with some clean-up efforts after the import.
My Quark template is pretty simple... one big text box on the right-hand side of each page (landscape), leaving the left-hand side of each page for my illustrations and graphics to be placed.
I think my biggest conversion problem is going to involve these graphics. Many of them have text callouts (in text boxes) with arrows (made with Quark graphics) pointing to the proper spot on the illustration or graphic. I'm wondering how well those will all convert and import. I do have them all grouped in Quark. By that I mean that one graphic and all of its associated text callouts and arrows are grouped.
I guess I'll find out!

Import photoshop CS3 layers into Flash CS5?

Does anyone know if you can import photoshop layers from CS3 into Flash CS5? I am looking to get Flash CS5 for my Win 7 but am worried I won't be able to use it with all my CS3 photoshop work. Has anyone had experience with this and can tell me one way or the other if it does or doesn't work. I know CS5 has LOTS of backward compatibility problems.
Thanks.

Yes, save the photoshop file as a .ps file and then import it in Flash. You will get pretty much the same import options window that you saw in Flash CS3.

How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?

Hi;
How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?
Developed a DBase application for a vertical market using MS Access. Worked on it for over a decade.
Have been in contact with a rather large company and we are talking about licensing my program with them.
BUT; they want it "On the Cloud"
Here is what needs to be accomplished. Ideally a user can log in from anywhere, (similar to on-line banking), enter data and print reports.
Read this a few days ago:
"If I were in your situation and felt that there's a growth market for your offerings, I would personally go with a PHP/MySQL-based model. The printing issue can be readily resolved with PDF-based output.
So the Querys, Forms and VBA Code needs to be brought in from MS Access to Dreamweaver.
Can this be done? Or is there a better way that I haven't learned yet?
Would someone be so kind and point me in the correct direction.
Thank You for taking the time to read this post.
Andy

>Can this be done?
No, not any way that I know of. You would need to completely rewrite this as a web application. Obviously the MS Access tables can be migrated to MySQL and the Access queries converted to views. But the forms and custom code needs to be written from scratch in html and your choice of server side programming language.
