LR4 to CS6 Beta File Round Trip

If I install CS6 Beta, will files be handled the same way as they are in CS5 when using the various Edit In... choices? Is it necessary to make any changes to preferences or other changes to get files to open in CS6 Beta or will this be handled automatically? What happens if I uninstall CS6; will this make it necessary to reinstall CS5?

Hidden Photoshop CS6 Beta Files.

So ever sense I've owned a Mac I've been told that to simply remove any software you just have to delete it out of the Appilcations Folders. That would appear to be false, I did that with Photoshop CS6 Beta. Now that I am trying to install Photoshop CS6 Trial it keeps giving me an error that says that there is a version of CS6 on my computer already. Does anyone know how to find the hidden files or atleast the file that the installer is seeing?

Please first try running the uninstaller in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers. Once that is done you can utilize the clean up tool by following the directions at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html. This should remove any additional components.
In regards to uninstalling on Mac. Many applications are able to utilize the package feature to contain all of their components. Do to the shared components between Adobe applications and their multi-platform nature we utilize an uninstaller. This is because we do not contain all of the files required for the application within the package for the application itself.

Lightroom 4 Adjustment Brush/General compatibility with CS6 beta

Hi the LR4 adjustment brush colour selection is not accurate, is there a fix?
Compatibility between LR4 and CS6 beta does not give the same results as LR3.6 and CS5.5, it is chalk and cheese and to get even near the same result takes a lifetime!

Download the LR4 trial and you can dissect them yourself...

Why will my Adobe Reader 9 not open the downloaded CA6 Beta file?

Why will my Adobe Reader 9 not open the downloaded CS6 Beta file?

Hi,
If your asking about the photoshopcs6_p1_installnotes.pdf, then it should open with Adobe Reader 9. It does for me with Adobe Reader 9 (9.5.0) on OSX 10.5.8.
The PDF is saved to version 1.4.

Problem round tripping dpx PPro CS6

hi, I'm having problems finding the correct dpx export settings to maintain the levels as the original video files.
The project is from the 25fps 1080p DSLR template.
I've tested the exporting dpx at 8bit, full range (LOG) and over range (LOG) options and at max bitdepth where available.
When reimporting the dpx images into the same project to check levels and setting source characteristics to match exported characteristics for each file, ie: LOG where necessary including black and white points, on dropping them along side the original video the levels in each dpx are within the 0.0 to 1.0 range in the YC Waveform. My original video source file is > 1.0 in the YC Waveform.
I expected to see the same waveform as source in particular for the LOG exports. My understanding is that an inverse LOG op would be done, (preview in bin certainly shows gamma applied preview on LOG sources on setting import characteristics) that the result would be identical in levels to the source. The whole point of transferring 8bit full levels video as RGB image sequences at 10bit is to be able to round trip without clipping or clamping? I've tested the various dpx import options like 8bit levels, 16bit levels or 0.0 to 1.0 all show the same compressed waveform compared to original.
Source files are here:
The original Canon T2i MOV remuxed to remove full range flag metadata to avoid Premiere h264 codec messing with luma levels on import. So get the full 0 - 255 luma. Used in the project above.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74780302/MVI_0907.mp4
The original Canon T2i MOV to compare with the mp4 above full range flag still on. Premiere mess's with luma levels in the naive file on import giving 16 - 235 luma. Not used in project.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74780302/MVI_0907.MOV
dpx exports as described above:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74780302/dpxs.zip
I wonder if someone could explain what settings are necessary to round trip dpx.

ProEXR plugin (Trial) solves the problem, round tripping full range video to levels > 1.0 (over IRE 100%) in image sequences works, first time no hassle. DPX in CS6 appears to be incapable of doing the same even in LOG. OpenEXR better route anyway.

PPro cs6 - Audition cs6 - PPro, round trip problem

I'm having trouble completing the round trip. I got my audio tracks from PPro CS6 to Audition CS6 without problems, right by the manual. But I'm having trouble getting that audio work back into PPro.
I'm working a mid-sized project (one hour class, two cameras, etc. headed for DVD). Got edit lock. Everything is done now except for cleaning up audio. After the audio I can send the whole lot to Encore for DVD making. But first, audio.
Took the entire sequence to Audition via PPro's "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..." path. This worked just fine. It pushed all the audio files to Audition, Audition opened up and gave me a "make an Audition project" dialog box, etc. Nearly 100 files came over to Audition, on the right tracks, in the right order. Very nice. Made my changes. So far so good.
What I've read in the manual says that all I have to do when I'm done is "File...Save" in Audition, then PPro will have and use the changes. Sorta like Dynamic Link, but different. So I did the the project save.
At this point, things deviated a little from the plan. I started up PPro, opened the project, and no sign of the Audition work. Can't find a file anywhere in the project panel that says Audition on it. The files on the timeline are still the dark green of the multi-camera edit, not the lighter green of an Audition file. When I've done this for individual clips, I've gotten back a file with a name like "*Audio Extracted_1.wav" that shows up with the same green as the Audition icon on my desktop.
So I thought, fine. Not as easy as I had hoped. I'll just have to import it manually. But PPro doesn't seem to have any idea how to deal with a *.sesx file, which is the project file from Audition.
Should I be exporting, say, a *.wav file from Audition (how?) and import that into PPro? And if I do, is there a good workflow to re-sync this audio with my video tracks?
I'm confused. Don't know what I did wrong. Don't know what do to fix it. Don't know how to avoid this in the future. So any help gratefully received.
Bruce Watson

OK, now I *am* confused.
Just did it again (a different DVD project however), as described in my original post. This time PPro stayed open for me. So I sent all the sequence audio files to Audition via the "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..." comman, then did my editing in Audition, and saved it the Audition project. Go back to PPro, and... nothing. No sign of any file from Audition in the project panel. No sign on the time line. No sign of any Audition file anywhere in PPro that I can find.
What gives? What am I doing wrong?
What I did get was a folder at the same directory level as my PPro project file, a folder in it with the project_name I gave Auditon when it opened from the PPro "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..." command, and then two files for every clip in the project (a *.wav and a *.pkf), and finally two more files, a project_name.xml and a project_name.xml.sesx.
I suppose I can export a *.wav file to PPro manually. Worked before. But I'd like to learn the "correct" way, the way Adobe intends it to work.
Darned if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong though. Help???

CS6 Beta Modifies CS4 & CS5 Bridge File Associations (W7 Pro 64Bit SP1)

Symptoms:
After installing CS6 including bridge CS6 onto a W7 pro 64Bit Machine with SP1.
The File associations in the existing copies of CS4 and CS5 bridge are updated to make the CS6 Beta the default programme for opening the majority of file types from either CS4 or CS5 bridge.
When right clicking ona file from CS4/5 bridge only the option of opening in CS6 is presented
Expected Bahaviour:
I expected that CS6 would be the default programme launched from CS6 bridge but that CS4/CS5 would remain the default programmes launched from their own versions of bridge.
Setting CS6 as the default file association in previous versions of bridge makes no sense at the Beta stage, as it interupts a clean migration back to existing workflow.
I would also question the value in not preserving the existing file associations in prior versions of bridge in the final CS6 release, as there are cases when it might be desirable to go back to a previous version of CS, in which case opening that version of bridge and launching directly into the prior versions of CS is very desirable.
Is there anyway to quickly restore the previous associations in CS4/CS5 bridge and be sure that they are exactly the same as prior to the CS6 beta install ?

Sorry for the noise. I misunderstood your depth of knowlege and what you had tried. I also committed the sin of not testing the procedure all the way through because I did not want to change the association on my computer. I get the same behavior.
Guess for .jpg
Registry shows for .jpg:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserCho ice Progid = Applications\Photoshop.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command (Default) = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
UserChoice seems to be added when I made the association choice. Note that it points into Applications with a non-version specific Photoshop.exe. Within HKLM\....\Applications there is only one Photoshop.exe -- no version -- and that entry points to CS6.
I believe that explains why the browsed to association is CS6. It does not explain why it would be set up that way. Probably has something to do with Windows special handling of certain file extensions. Beyond my depth and tells me I am not going to find a solution.

CS6 beta locks up when saving portrait files

I've had an issue with the CS6 beta. It doesn't happen every time, but it has happened at least 5 times.
When I have been editing portraits in CS6, occasionally when I flatten an image and then go to save it, the program will lock up with the 'save as' window frozen on my screen. I can move my mouse around, but it won't click on anything photoshop related. I can pull up Safari, or go to other programs... but CS6 is jammed. Fortunately, CS6 has a recovery feature, and I haven't totally lost my work (only the layers of the other opened files, which could obviously present a problem). I think it might happen if I click in the 'Save as' box within a few second of it opening when I go to rename a file - If I wait a while longer, maybe 10 seconds longer after the 'Save as' window pops up, it seems to avoid the issue.
It seems to happen when I am working on multiple images (more than one portrait open at a time).
Also, now when I am running Portrait Professional through cs6, my macbook gets very hot... it never did that before.
This issue has happened on my macbook pro, Mac OS X, version 10.6.8, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, 2 cores, 8 GB memory.

I am not that familiar with OS dialog, and bad disk data structure... but I am not doing anything different than I normally do.
When I flatten my image and go to File/Save, and the standard little window pops up - and I click inside the Save As text bar at the very top to give the file a name - cs6 locks up at that point. Each time this has happened, I have not selected a new location, I merely clicked in the Save As text box... but could do nothing else from that point on. When I click file/save as, when the window pops up- The current file name inside the text window always appears highlighted in blue - indicating that it is selected and ready for re-naming, when I click on that to rename it, that is when it locks up. The letters remain highlighted in blue... just frozen to the cursor. I can't get photoshop to 'hide' at this point either, if I go to Photoshop/hide photoshop.
I will check out the DiscUtility idea, but I do a lot of work on this computer, and have never ever had this issue until cs6 beta, and only when I am on cs6 beta. The few times that I have used cs5 since I downloaded cs6 beta it hasn't done it.
These files that I am working on don't have any issues after I force quite cs6 beta and reopen them. The only thing that I can determine might be causing it, is clicking in the box too soon... like I have to give it 10 seconds to get its act together to "save as' another name. It might be preparing a file thumbnail... that makes sense, but it is taking an unusual amount of time. I have tons of memory, so it doesn't need help in that department.
Beside this issue, I really like the look and feel of cs6.

CS6 Beta ended by crash - How/Where to keep my Auto-Saved Recovered file ?

Hello,
I was working on Photoshop CS6 beta on Lion OSX since one month with no problem.
Yesterday seemed to be the last day of use (1st june annonced however) and Photoshop CS6 Beta shutted down since I was working on it.
On the re-opening it asks for a licence key so I try to buy one month rental on the e-shop but the 3 bank cards tested failed. So I gave a call to the commercial service and they told me that they do not take in charge rental but only full licence and that I can download the trial for one more month if I want to.
So, I will replace the beta by the trial.
But :
- How can I keep my Auto-saved Recovered file I was working on when crashing (pretty important work)
- Where the recovered file is saved on the hard-drive ? And, can I make it works whith CS6 non-beta ?
A lot of thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards

As I understand it - having not (fortunatley) had the opportunity to test this - if PS crashes and you have auto-save switched on, you need to re-launch PS and it will automatically open with the recovered file(s) in the state they were at when auto-save last saved them. Auto-save stores files temporarily in a special folder that's located at the same file path as your scratch disk location. (My scratch disk is at root level on a seperate drive, so it's easy to see the auto-save folder if I look there, but if you can locate your scratch disk, you should see the auto-save folder also.)
Of course, the fact that you can no longer open PS is going to present a problem here. I'm not sure if you could re-access the file via the trial version once that was installed and pointing to the same scratch disk area.
I might have got this wrong, but I think it's correct... Feel free to disprove my post!

When round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

Cannot achieve the same result with CS6 beta/LR4

Hi I have LR4 and I am trying to work with it in combination with CS6 Beta and try as I might I cannot achieve the same result or anything like, its like working with a blunt chisel.
I am reverting to LR3.6 and CS5, I dont have the time to spend all day faffing about, there might be a few more tricks but they are worth diddly squat if it wont do the basics, curves awkward, levels awkward, something is wrong!!

Hi,
you have posted in the MS Visio forum, but it seems your question is really about C++ or some other developer/programming topic.

Usage limitations on files created with CS6 beta?

My gut tells me that the cs6 beta falls under the cs6 license sections "Non-Serialized Software" and "Evaluation software" which state:
"...for demonstration, evaluation, and training purposes only, and only if any Output Files or other materials produced through such use are used only for internal, non-commercial, and non-production purposes."
Am I correct in assuming that this applies to all files created with the cs6 beta? I don't see this discussed anywhere which makes me wonder. I have made some nice progress on one of my files and now I'm wondering if I have to stop and redo everything in my old version. I don't want to sink much time into the beta if nothing I create is publicly usable.
Official clarification would be appreciated.

It's completely awkward that I haven't realised this so far, usually I export everything to PNG -> resize PNG with ACDSee -> convert to JPEG and then forget about it Thank you for clearing this up!

CS6 beta hangs - Exit Code 6

CS6 beta hangs on opening any image or sometimes even at switching default workspace to for example photography. I have to use task manager to close the CS6. What is worse, after installing cs6beta even my LR4 has started to hang. Not always but it has started to hang. I am running HP envy 17 laptop. with i7 processor and 8GB of RAM.
thanks

When you PS hangs, you mean it just freezes? No messages, no crash report?
Is it running fine when you launch PS and create a new file.
Does it only do this when you open an image?
What OS are you running?
What video card are you running?
Do you have the most up to date driver?
Try disabling OpenGL drawing in preferences, then restarting Photoshop.
CS6 shouldn't be any slower, but we did add more GPU support and could be hitting bugs in video drivers.
Also, it would be a good idea to update your video card driver from the ATI web site.
Edit > Preferences > Graphics Processor Settings is now listed as "Use Graphics Processor".
Let us know what you find.
Thanks

Best workflow for round trip editing?

I understand that iPhoto does not support (yet) round trip editing, i.e. a RAW file can be sent from within iPhoto to an external editor but the resulting edited file cannot be saved back directly into iPhoto but has to be temporarily stored somewhere (i.e. desktop) and reimported into iPhoto using the Import function.
However,this screws up my "roll" filing structure, because the imported file is now part of a new roll and cannot be moved back to its original one.
Sure, I could process my photos before importing but this only postpones the problem. Indeed, next year, there will be an other iteration of Nikon Capture with new features and I will want to reprocess some old files to get better results ... and they will have to be reimported into iPhoto!
Has anyone come up with a suitable workaround that allows an imported file to be part of an existing roll or a solution to merge 2 rolls?
Thanks
Michel

Solved!
It's again RTFM ("Read The F*ng Manual").
Workflow would be as follows:
1. Edit RAW photo from roll, say "Xmas '05", with external editor.
2. Save modified photo as jpg version (so that the modifications are visible in iPhoto) to desktop.
3. Import into iPhoto (this creates a new roll, say "Roll 112", number is automatically assigned by iPhoto)
4. Select all photos from "Xmas '05" and "Roll 112" in the iPhoto library
5. Select Create New Roll from the File menu (all photos are now combined in a single roll, say "Roll 113" with today's date)
6. Rename Roll 113 into Xmas '05 and change the date to keep the chronological sequence
Voila! Roll "Xmas '05" has been updated (just tried it. It works).
I should have completely read the manual before posting.

Good and bad things about Bridge CS6 Beta

The good thing first: No memory leaks anymore. No crashing, no freezing, no write errors when running Bridge scripts on large numbers of image files. Ah—what a relief!
In comparison this this, the bad things are just trifles. First—when selecting the exposure data to show up under each thumbnail then the aperture number will get rounded down to the nearest integer. So, for example, apertures of f/1.4, f/1.7, f/2, f/2.8, f/3.5, f/5.6, f/6.3, f/6.7 will get presented as 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 6.0, 6.0, respectively. In the EXIF data, the aperture numbers are correct, and Camera Raw 7.0 will display the correct numbers. Second—when starting Bridge CS6 or Photoshop CS6 then the monitor will get switched off for a brief moment. The screen goes completely black for two seconds or so, then returns as if it was in stand-by mode. It's nothing severe but very annoying.
Windows XP (32 bit) SP3; CPU Athlon Dual-Core 64 X2 6000+; RAM 4 GB installed, 3 GB used; graphic card AMD Radeon HD 2600 Pro (AMD Catalyst Display Driver from March 2012 installed); monitor Dell Ultra-Sharp 2407WFP-HC (24", 1920×1200 px) connected via DVI, no second monitor.

What camera produced the files?
Doesn't matter. I have files from two different cameras, Sony A900 and Leica M9, all shot in both JPEG and raw format (ARW for the Sony; DNG 1.0 for the Leica). The issue occurs with the thumbnails of both the JPEG and raw files. For the very same files, the issue is not there in Bridge CS5.

Well ... the previous version of the display driver actually was the latest, at the time of installing CS6 Beta. The current driver version came out only two days ago.
