Importing .PSDs into CC as movieClips

Hello,
I rely on flash for work, importing psds into flash is a regular part of my day - but it looks like with FlashCC the funtionality to import layers as movieclips, and to set the registration point of those movie clips has been removed. Im working with multiple files with hudreds of layers, and going through converting each layer into a movieclip is very inconvenient. Is there something Im missing or is there no way to do this?

This was changed in flash CC. You can see more details on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1238722?tstart=0
Have a bug created and tarcking this internally for a later update.

Cannot import PSD into Premiere

I've been unable to import a .psd into PPro CS4 for Mac - it just hangs on the 'import layered file' dialogue box without showing me any options (i.e.- choosing between importing a single layer or the merged layer). I can iport a jpeg and a tiff but that doesn't give me the transparency I need. This has not been an issue in any other version of Premiere, is it a problem with CS4 or the Mac? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Have you tried other .psd files? Is the problem that .psd files won't import no matter which .psd file is used?

Importing .psd into Premiere Pro CC 2014

I am trying to import a Photoshop file (.psd) into Premiere Pro CC 2014. I've watched all these tutorials and they make it look so easy using Import > Adobe Photoshop file and then it appears in the source monitor--it seems to be the same as well on their tutorials. However, my .psd file which needs to have white font and does in Photoshop comes up as different color (black) and is much smaller. I am doing this in a 4K sequence, I understand the dimension aspect, but when I try to import I set as Single Layers and it doesn't matter--black font again. Is there something I am doing wrong in PS or PP or both? I would really appreciate your feedback because I'm in a rut and nothing seems to work. The Photoshop file is one that was preloaded for this band but it just does not import correctly. Any other options for getting a Photoshop file into Premiere Pro CC 2014 or AE. I also tried this in CS6 and was hoping to just copy and paste into CC 2014. I can't believe it is this hard. I must be doing something wrong especially since everyone else seems to do it so easy. Thanks for you help.

Importing .psd into Illustrator with Windows 7

Since installing CS3 design premium onto my new Windows 7 computer, I have run into difficulty when trying to import .psd files. Trying to import the file usually doesn't do anything. Even when I open a file with a linked .psd file, it pops up with an error message "An error occurred trying to read the linked file 'xxxxxxxxx.psd.'" Reimporting file doesn't do anything. Either nothing happens or I am told I do not have enough memory to complete the action
For the most part, I've worked around this by saving my .psd as .tiff and importing the new file format. However, when I need to import a .tiff with transparency, Illustrator it tells me that Illustrator doesn't support that type of .tiff file.
Is this a Windows 7 issue? Or something else?
I am running Windows 7 Pro, Core i7, 1.73GHz, 64-bit, 6GB RAM.

Harron, Hi
I have both Vista 64-bit OS and Win7 64-bit OS and am running CS4 and CS5 suites. I have had not a single problem Placing files into Illustrator CS4 or CS5 from Photoshop (32-bit) CS4 or (32-bit) CS5 [CS4 to CS4 and CS5 to CS5]. I cannot vouch for CS3 and I cannot troubleshoot earlier versions of CS such as CS(1) since CS(1) doesn't operate on 64-bit platforms with much success.

Import PSD into Illustrator CS4 Mac Yosemite

Does anybody know how to fix the problem of importing PSD files into Illustrator CS4?
I am using the new OS X Yosemite 10.10.
Illustrator wants to tell me that PSD would be an unknown file format.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Peter

A work around is saving your psd files as pdf files instead. You can then open them in Illustrator.

Importing psd into premiere pro cs4 failure

I am running an xp 64bit comp with the master suite, when i try to import a simple psd file into premiere i get an error message stating unsupported format or damaged file. Also another problem I am having is importing mp4's, it simply doesnt happen. It is all on a fresh brand new machine which might be missing codecs or something like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Yes, CMYK (can affect TIFF's too) has tripped up many. As much of my work is for print, I hit that early on, and scratched my head, until I grabbed the RGB version (usually give clients both), and viola, it worked.
Another similar tripping point is 16/32-bit PSD's. If one works with Camera RAW, they often leave the files in a higher bit-depth, for better color, Levels and Curves editing, but forget to drop this to 8-bit for Video. All of my Actions include the Mode changes, just in case they are not already in the correct Mode.
Good luck, and glad that things are working.
Hunt
PS - there have been some reports of PSD Importing failing, though all else is good, when one, or more Layers, contain only a very small pixel count. This often happens when one has a very small "logo," or similar in a much larger PSD. I've not hit this, but many have. One fix is to separate out the logo, and Import it a bit larger, then Scaling in PrPro. Personally, where possible, I like to keep the Scaling to an absolute minimum in PrPro, and do as much as is possible in PS.

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.

Problem with spot channels when importing PSD into AI CS3

tried the Windows forum, and adobe tech support in The Netherlands. Hopefully someone here can help.
b Problem description:
I make spot colour separations of full colour artwork by using the index separation method in Photoshop. This creates several spot color channels in my PSD file.
Normally I just place this PSD file in Illustrator CS2, and when I embed the file Illustrator makes objects of the spot channels. I can change the colors of these objects and delete them etc.
Now with Illustrator CS3 when I import and embed a PSD file it just creates one object called "Spot Color Image". I can no longer adjust or delete separate spot channels.
Maybe there is another way to achieving this but I cannot find it myself. Without this method Illustrator CS3 has become useless for me.

Hi again, I did the same, and I see what you mean. The original image is an image, the channels are separate objects for me, but the original image isn't different channels.
I found this in the Help file:
Spot colors (up to 31 spot channels per file) import as a single N‑Channel raster image, which is placed over the process color image. The spot colors are added to the swatches panel as custom colors with the same name as in Photoshop. Imported spot colors separate correctly.
Will think some more. Not sure what to suggest. Someone must have an answer to help you.

Importing PSD's into Flash

I'm using Flash 8, and have just started importing PSDs into
Flash. I actually found the import PSDs feature in CS3, and
discovered that you can import PSDs to Flash 8 as well.
The problem is, there is a color shift-the PSDs imported into
Flash appear lighter than they do in PS, or than a JPEG of the same
image appears when imported into Flash. I have noticed the same
problem with PNG's as well. They also appear lighter than a JPG of
exactly the same image when brought into Flash....
Does anyone know of any fix for this? Is it something to do
with color-profiles in PhotoShop (of which I know little about)?
Thanks!

How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

Unable to import psd/CR2 into LR 4.1

Scenario...needed larger HD and did a clean install of windows 7 after doing a search of my original HD for all PSD/CR2 images>
then doing the "drag drop" technique of copying/backing-up those images to another external and an internal HD.
Then did the instillation of that larger "C" HD and clean install of windows 7>copied those images into one newly created folder on that drive>
installed CS6 and LR 4.1 and...LR can't/will not recognize and import more than 500 out of 14,000 PSD/CS2 images.
I am able to access those images via windows explorer and open them into CS6 without difficulity. I have done a couple un/reinstall of LR.
Every one of those images is located within one folder and no images anywhere else on the "C" drive.
Talk slow as I'm not very computer literate...FYI, I still have the original back-ups in two places. I have watched the videos on importing images.
Suggestions anyone...

It seems you have created quite a bit of a messy situation.
Since you have 66 lrcat-files, i.e. 66 different Lr catalogs, none of them would be a good starting point - because every one of them does not completely reflect your images.
The question mark that you are getting on the frame of the images is n indication that Lr does not "know" where this image is. In this context it is important that you know that Lr is not a browser based program. A browser based program "sees' whatever files are on the hard drive. Win Explorer is such a browser based program par excellence. But Lr is different; it "sees ' only those images that have been imported. When they are imported, Lr stores also the location of the images in its data base (= catalog). When youthen move or rename images outside of Lr (for instance in Win Explorer), the situation on your hard drive is different from what Lr has stored in its catalog. Then Lr sends you a "?" as an indication that it can't find the image.
In this situation you have basically two options:
a) Take one of your 66 catalogs as a base and try to reconnect your images;
b) start fresh at point 0. This option would have the consequence that you would loose all the edits that you did in Lr, and your images would be in the state they were in before you imported them into Lr for the first time.
Let's talk about option (a):
You said you found 66 lrcat files. You can right-click each one in Win Explorer and select <Properties>. This would give you the dates when the file was created and when it was last modified. You have to select the lrcat file that has the most recent date of modification as your basis. Select all the other lrcat files and move them out of the way: Create a folder named <Old Lr catalogs + date> on your C-drive and move all the other lrcat files in there (Win Explorer > Edit >Move to folder).
Now double-click the one remaining lrcat file and Lr will open with it. Do not use the import function, rather proceed as follows:
In Grid View in the folders panel (left side) you will see "?" besides the folder names. Right-click a folder and select <Find Missing folder>, navigate to the location where this folder is now and click on it. You can do this for each folder separately, or if you have a structure of sub-folders under parent folders, you can do this <Find Missing folder> procedure for the parent folder and Lr will find the sub-folders on its own, provided that their names have not been changed. If you did change them you will have to do the <Find Missing folder> for each individual sub-folder, too.
If - after you have reconnect Lr to all the folders - single images still show question marks, you have to reconnect these images individually. Left-click the question mark directly and select <Locate>. Then navigate to the location of this image and click on it.
You see that this procedure might take quite a bit of work and time.
That's where option (b) comes in. But, as I already said if you go this route you would loose all your edits and everything you did so far with your images in Lr. You would start all over again. Here's how it goes:
Close Lr. In Win Explorer organize your image folders to your liking. Give them any structure and names - but one thing is important: You have to put all image folders into one (1) parent folder. Name it <My images> or whatever you like. You can put it into the <My pictures> system folder or you can have it separate from it.
When this is done find all your lrcat-files and move them out of the way (see above).
Now open Lr. Since Lr will not find a catalog it will open the Import Dialog (where it says source on the left side). Select the images parent folder as source and import your images.

I edit my photos in Photoshop, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto. But if I add text to an image in Photoshop can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11. If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

Terence Devlin wrote:
Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

Only by exporting.
The Export menu in Photoshop CS3 does not have any direct choices for JPEG.

Can I import .aep into photoshop or convert to .psd

I helped a team mate (at a different location) with a Poster (Many Layers). She needed some special effects.
I imported the .psd into After Effects 2014 cc
This is a single frame composition.
I used special effect video files to add effects and just lined them up where I wanted on the single frame to get the effect i wanted. (Explosion.mov)
I did this with 6 or 7 different .mov files to create the effect I wanted.
I exported the poster for delivery.
Turned out great.
My problem is: There are quite a few different pictures and different posters that have to be made. I just want to send the layers I made back to the Poster (Photoshop) Team Mate. (She doesn't know or do After Effects)
How Can I get my project with all the layers BACK to .psd or.... .how can I save this so she can import my .aep back into .psd so she can continue to work there?
Is this possible?
Can someone suggest a better workflow?

Photoshop cannot open the .aep file - you need After Effects to open that.
I'm not sure how you could put AE data back into PSD form.

How can I import psd photos from Elements into iPhoto?

I cannot import psd photos into iPhoto without saving them to the desktop, which is a real hassle (hundreds of photos). Am I doing something incorrectly? Thanks for any advice.

I may be preaching to the choir here but this might be of help to you:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 or later the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (click on the Edit button) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

When importing the PSD into reflow it looks messed up

I'm importing a website PSD into reflow and compared to my original PSD it looks a mess. The header image isn't showing up, text is all over place etc, any idea why?
Also I'm new to this whole programme, once you have produced a set of responsive versions on the site what is the final outcome? Is it code to give to a developer?

There is a Sample PSD and reflow file linked here Photoshop CC Workflow | Edge Reflow CC (Preview) | Edge Tools & Services | Adobe & HTML

Need script to batch import images into PSD layer

Hi,
I have a large group of identically sized Illustrator PDF images (I could convert these to jpeg and resize separately...). I need to import each of these into a specific part of another image, which will always be constant The incoming image should be the back layer and the file should be saved as a jpeg, and named after the incoming image's file name.
What's the best approach here?
Thanks, everybody.

Hello.
I've tried to adapt this script I to update a sprite sheet.
The sprite sheet contains 6 smart objects, which where created by importing PSD containing 1 transparent rasterized layer, converting to SmartObjects, then repositioning and scaling.
The script has two faults. Either it runs and replaces the images, but moves them about vertically.
Or it simply throws an "General Photoshop Error. This method may not be.. etc" error and highlights this line :
executeAction( idplacedLayerEditContents, desc2, DialogModes.NO );
I'm still getting to grips with the completely bonkers API, looking at what looks like assembly language bubbling up through the "baretail" application.
Any tips as to why it's erroring out or coming in in the wrong places vertically (looks OK horizontally) most appreciate.
It's the bizarre intermittent error that bugs me most, sometimes it runs and does it wrong, sometimes I just get a bing noise.
Script is here :

Sample PSDs I'm using are here :

any help much appreciated! meanwhile, I guess back to the UI and manually doing it
