InDesign CS5 will not import Alpha Channels from images saved in Photoshop CS6

Just searched through the forums to find this thread in the (now-Read Only) Photoshop CS6 Beta forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4310886
Which is exactly the same issue I'm having. I just cropped about a 1000 images with alphas originally created in PS5 and resaved using PS6.
My client still uses CS5 and the images won't recognize the alpha channels in inDesign5.
I see in this thread that it said a fix for older versions of inDesign was being worked on, this was back in April.
Any news on these fixes? (before I open PS5 and resave all these files)

Hi Peter,
The images in question all use alpha channels to mask out the image backgrounds (usually white) in InDesign layouts.
I opened the images in PS6 to crop out excess background (to get file size down) and saved the new files.
When I go to import the images one by one into InDesign 5 (via Cmd-D, Import options ticked) the Alpha Channel pull down menu is greyed out and I'm unable to select the Alpha Channel.
If I open the image in PS5 and resave, I'm then able to access the Alpha channels in ID5... but that's a lot of images to go back through to fix.
I also tried opening the layout in ID6 (where the alpha channels do work) and saving down to the idml format. When opening up in ID5 the alpha channel is no longer recognized and the background of the image that was masked out is now visible.
Cheers,
Alan

Photoshop CS5 will not open raw files from Nikon D810. What do I need?

Photoshop CS5 (bought in 2011) will not open raw files from Nikon D810 (bought in 2014). Is there a patch? Is there something I can do?

YAY!!! Success. Thanks Jim. I have the raw file for this image. ABC OPEN: Dancing water spouts in severe weather I'm such a noob, I hadn't even set up the correct date on the camera.

created by JimHess in Adobe Camera Raw - View the full discussionThank camera requires Camera Raw 8.6 which isn't compatible with Photoshop CS5. But you can download DNG converter 8.6 or newer and create digital negative (DNG) copies that will be compatible with Photoshop CS5.

My photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d

my photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d

No. DNG is a RAW format. There are a few small manufacturer specific items that are left out when converted to RAW (for example, Nikon's Active D lighting) that aren't maintained, as well as some Meta data and focus points, etc. Personally I never noticed the difference, but perhaps some do. There is no impact to the image quality, you have just as much post production freedom with DNG.
I did it for a couple years before upgrading to CS6. It's an extra step, but you get used to it and it's not a huge deal. I would put my card in my reader, and download to a temp file. While that downloaded I would go to the fridge and grab a beer [Edit - you can substitute the beverage of your choice ]. Then I would run the RAW to DNG converter, and drink my beer. It was usually done before my beer (if not I got another). I saved the CR2 files as a backup at first, but once I got comfortable trusting DNG I stopped doing that.
Another option is to get Lightroom and use that for your developing. You can then send over a TIFF file with the edits. But in this situation you couldn't send the image over as a smart object (I think, I assume this would use ACR?).

Iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am usuin snowleapord. Any thoughts?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

Dvdsp4 will not import motion2 assets from tutorial folder

dvdsp4 will not import motion2 assets from tutorial folder. It wont import any motion 2 .motn from anywhere as a matter of fact in sd or hd. It acts like it will then gives an alert that says incompatible format?? I trashed motion prefs and installed all pro app updates- still no go? What gives?

Also, check whether you're trying to import NTSC assets into a PAL project or vice versa.

PrE 11 will not import .jpg files from organizer

Hi,
I just upgraded from PS & PrE 8 to the lastest version 11. I'm running on a Windows 7 pc. My catalog was successfully converted and new pictures were added. I now want to create a dvd with both pictures and videos. I tried various ways to import .jpg files in PrE but some (most) of my files will not import. I get error messages about the files not being supported (missing codex) or the files being too large.
After reading on the forums and on Adobe help site. It seems opening and resaving the files in the organizer fix this. I try and it worked. As I have many files to import (200+), I wonder if there is a way to do some sort of a batch process for all file.
Secondly, also I read PrE can automatically resize the image file to the project size. How can this be acheive ?
Thanks for your help

Please see my answer to this question. It's essentially the same answer I'd give you.

You can not create a playable DVD or incorporate video and photos in the same project with full resolution photos on it. Video resolution/TV resolution is only 720x480 (standard resolution) or 1920x1080 (high rez).
Premiere Elements has a governor that limits the size of a photo you can add to a video project (which is probably what you're running into). In fact, you'll get much better results if you use LOWER resolution photos in your video project -- 1000x750 pixels for DVDs and standard resolution video and 2000x1500 for BluRays and high-def video.

I have photoshop elements 10 with all updates but it will not import raw files from my sony rx100

Can anyone help. I have adobe elements 10 with all updates but it will not import .arw (raw) files from my sony rx100

Sony RX2 is supported in ACR7.2 and higher whereas PSE10 can go as high as ACR6.3
Thus you wont be able to open your raw files directly into ACR. You might want to download DNG convertor(version 7.2 or higher) and use it to convert your raw files to a different raw format (.dng) which is supported by all ACR versions.
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2

My lightroom 4 will not import my files from my compact flash card . It has been working for years with out fail but now there is no import previews and it says the files are not recognized by raw format support in LR

I have lightroom 4 I've had it for years and it has imported my raw files from my CF card without issue . Now when I plug in my CF card to import new files it says import operations not performed and there are no image previews . When I continue by hitting "import" I get a pop up window that states "the files are not recognized by raw format support in Light Room"

Don't feel too bad. If the D4S has as many menus and custom functions as my Canon 5D Mark iii its easy to get messed up.
If you downloaded from the link I gave you it will be Lr 5.4. The link was just to show you when the D4S was supported. The newest version is 5.7.1 and can be downloaded here. Don't know your OS so you will have to pick Windows or Mac. Product updates
On my Mac I just run the downloaded installer program (its a full version and not an small update) and it installs the new version and erases the old version. If you are on Windows you will have to get help from a windows person.

Lightroom 5.7 will not import video (.mov) from iPhone 5s- Windows 8.1 64bit

I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit and Lightroom 5.7. I am trying to import video from my iPhone 5s (.mov). After trying to import multiple times, now previews are not showing up. I received the message, "The following files were not imported because they could not be read. (13)." Then it lists the individual file numbers. Where do we go from here?

There's a right way and a wrong way to fix this problem.
If you get tired of searching for the right way, consider using a script named
'Import Any Video'
free by me here:
robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
If all goes well, it will be able to transcode it to a known good importable format, and then import the transcoded file instead. (the "right way" is to figure out how to get it to import the original file without transcoding).

IPhoto will not import video clips from iPhoto

I plugged in my iPhone to my computer. I opened iPhoto to import the photos from my camera role. It imported the photos just fine up said "The following files could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format." It is all the video files I took with my iPhone. Never had this problem before. I recently switched macs from my desktop to a new iMac. I was having problems with iphoto not liking the video I previously had in iPhoto.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few videos into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Indesign CS5 will not load, it crashes

I am unable to load InDesign CS5 on a new MacBookPro with Yosemite 10.10.1, can this be fixed?

How did you install it? Migration doesn’t work.
If that’s what you did, uninstall, run the cleaner tool, and reinstall it correctly.
And please take note the CS5 is not supported under Yosemite. If it still isn’t working, I’m afraid you’re on your own.

Flash CS5 will not import mp3 files

With the latest Flash program and the latest Quicktime version, I still can not import mp3 files to my Flash.
No reason is given, it only tells me it can't be done.

that's usually an mp3 setting problem. open your mp3 in audio editing software and resave.
