Masks.selections saved out to folder and viewable in bridge

Was wanting to be able to save out all my masks that I spent hours creating/painting/extracting with different methods (like saving out colour ranges) to a folder, then able to preview them in bridge and open that mask as a layer with blank pixel layer in a new .psd doc.

*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
masks viewable in bridge
How would you like the feature to work?
save out masks like colour ranges to a folder and have both masks and colour range masks viewable in bridge, then able to open them in a new .psd doc
Why is this feature important to you?
I create a lot of extractions, time consuming masks, and have a lot of documents, its confusing and time consuming trying to locate the mask I want.
This would make it easy to save all my masks in one place and view in bridge easily find and open in a new doc.
also ability to take my masks with me on my laptop without taking all my previous artwork psd docs..

Emails from camera roll saved to wrong folder -- IMAP Path Prefix Problem

I think there's a problem with the behaviour of the way picture emails are saved when you have an IMAP Path Prefix.
I have an IMAP Path Prefix of "INBOX"... i.e. my sent folder is Inbox/Sent. Any plaintext emails I send from the email application from the iPhone are correctly saved to that folder and I can see them in that folder immediately via the iPhone's interface.
When I navigate to the camera roll or photo album and send a picture email to somebody, and use the iPhone to go view the sent folder, they never appear in the sent folder. For a while I thought they weren't being saved at all, but I just discovered from my home PC that the camera roll app is indeed saving them somewhere: in Inbox/Inbox/Sent.
That's right--I now have a new Inbox folder inside my Inbox folder, with just a Drafts and Sent folder. Drafts is Empty, Sent has all the picture emails I've ever sent with the iPhone.
Bug? I think so... Emails emanating from the camera app are taking the IMAP Path Prefix twice instead of once, and then creating that Path Prefix folder if it doesn't already exist.
Anybody else with an IMAP Path Prefix experiencing this with picture emails from the camera roll?
Thanks,
Andi

Ahhh interesting to find someone else with the same problem! It definitely happens when you send a photo message. My mac mail it shows my Inbox with a new nested sent items folder. I am using fusemail and the iPhone seriously messes with the folder structure. All sent items folders vanished for some reason on the mail server (but not in mac mail oddly) and I had to call technical support to make them reappear. I think this happened when I altered the Settings, Mail, Advanced settings, Mail box behaviour folders after having this problem with sent photo messages.
Now fusemail's webserver shows TWO Inboxes, one nested inside the other, and a "Sent Items" folder within the "new" inboxes.
Totally strange. I think there is a bug or two in the iPhone's IMAP software. Hoping for a bug fix soon, but until then perhaps a good work around might be to set the iPhone to store sent messages locally?

SELECT MORE THAN A FOLDER TO OBTAIN INFOS

Hi Folks,
how can I do to select various folders and obtain just one message window with the total amount in bytes? When I select more than a folder and then select "obtain infos" Mac Os opens various message windows but I want a single message window like a Windows System.
Thank in advance.
LS

After selecting all folders, right-click one of the items, hold down the Control key (Get Info becomes Get Summary Info), select Get Summary Info. Or, if you hold down the Option key instead, select Show Inspector (I honestly don't know what the difference is between both panels). Also, CommandOptionI does the same thing.
Edit:
The difference between Get Summary Info and Show Inspector is that Show Inspector dynamically updates its information. If you add or subtract more items to your selection set, the Inspector will update its display to reflect the new selection set. Summary Info, on the other hand, just displays a static panel reflecting only the initial selection (regardless of whether or not other items have been included or excluded since).

Quicktime Pro Selection In-Out Sliders Disappeared

After upgrade from 7.2 to 7.3, the selection sliders at the bottom of the player window went away. Application still shows Quicktime Pro version. Anyone?

Missing the sliders is not acceptable, these are projects that I've been working with in the past. The apple suggests downloading an older version, but the download won't override the problem. This is complete ********!
I have exactly the same problem(s) after the QT 7.2 to 7.3 upgrade. QT has lost the selection In-Out marker features, and the grey highlight between them. This is true for all QT files, including .mov files successfully created by past edits. All worked fine until the last uprade! It is as if my QT Pro registration (and purchase) has been deleted. My System Prefs QT Register panel still shows the correct QuickTime Pro registration code (key).

How can i select all RAR archives in a folder and it's subfolders?

so that i can quickly move them all into the same folder to unarchive them. This is after i've decompressed a bunch of zips. Unless someone can tell me how to get 'the unarchiver' to be less dumb, and find the other pieces on it's own. I am constantly getting audio and video in this stupid file arrangement, obviously the work of an evil windows warlock.
like this
[folder]
somefile.xyz.01
[folder]
somefile.xyz.02
[folder]
somefile.xyz.03
and so on. It is driving me completely crazy because it seems like it should be such a natural thing to tell the OS- 'hey, select all the files all the way down into all the subfolders within this folder that are like this one.'
i will set up a shrine and tell tales of your greatness througout the land if you can help me figure this out.

Here's what you do...
open a console window at the root directory that contains all of the .zip files.
After you open all of the zip files you'll have a directory full of subdirectories that contain your .rar files.
Make sure your console window is pointed at the root. If you type "ls" (without the quotes) in the console you should get a directory listing showing all of the subfolders.
Now type this command into the console:
find ./ -iname "*.rar" -exec mv {} ./ \;
This command will recursively find all of the .rar files within the parent directory and then move them to the root level of the parent directory.
Now all of the .rar's will be at the same level and you can use your tool of choice to unrar them.
OOPs, I meant terminal window, NOT console window.
After I wrote this response I put together a little automator workflow and saved it as a service. Seems to work well. Just open automator and create a service. Specify that the service accepts folders from the finder. Then add a single component which is "run shell script". Set the shell script to pass input as arguments. The shell script should be set to contain this:
for f in "$@"
do
cd $f
find ./ -iname "*.rar" -exec mv {} ./ \;
done
Save with a service name: I use "unrar subfolders".
Now you simply right click on the parent folder that contains subdirectories that have segments of .rar archives. Pick the service that you created and the magic will happen and all .rar files will be at the parent level. Make sure you right click the parent folder and not just one of the .rar subfolders, that won't work.
This script can easily be modified to also do the unzip step and clean up afterwards but I like to keep my actions simple and short to avoid unintended consequences.
Those of you following along might notice that the script in fact can operate on several folders so if you select a set of folders and right click it should process all of them in turn. I haven't tested that!
The useful trick that can be used again and again is the "find ./ ########### -exec ####### ./ \;" sequence. This will recursively search from the current parent directory and execute another command on everything that the search finds. The search can be as complex as you like as can the execution step. Just make sure you really know which directory is the current parent because you can easily wind up firing this up from your account root or even system root and do nasty things!!!!!

Mask button grayed out when Pen tool's selected?

Hello...
I am going through a tutorial about how to use the Pen tool.
The tut shows that I should be able to click the Mask button in order to create a trans BG. However, mine is grayed out. I cannot find a reason why that would be. I am able to use the Layer Mask under other circumstances.
(The tut has me take an image, draw around the image to practice pulling/dragging, twisting, adding handles etc & so forth).
I have the pen tool set to Path but the Mask doesn't become available under any of the options.
The tut says to click Ctrl + Click on the path and then to click the Mask button.
Any ideas why the Mask is grayed out?
As always ~ I really appreciate your help.
Hope you're having a great night/day

Hello:
I would Love to post a screenshot however my computer is "shot" all my F keys & up to the Delete are non functional. I'm going to get a new laptop asa I find out what would be best to run Adobe Master Suite.
I have Photoshop CS6 Extended.
Any way, yes, {blushing} the BG was selected. TY.
I am suppose to make a selection of the path.
I'm now completely embarrassed. Of course a trans bg can't be made when it's the bg I'm working on.
The tutors' Layer panel shows only Layer 1 and no bg. He said to download the image he uses from Diviantart but the image would only open in a browser. So, I right clicked and saved the image. Then I opened the image which, of course, just opens on the bg layer.
So, am I suppose to create a New file > New Layer and then open the image?
Sorry if my questions seem obvious to you but I am just learning and still very much a newbie.
THANK YOU!!!

I'm trying to copy music from my PC to itunes. I open itunes, go to 'file', go to 'add folder to library', select the folder and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Hello there, gleab.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews the ways to import content into iTunes:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Also keep in mind which formats can be added:
You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
I can't access these images except to go into the applications.
Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive. I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space. Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use.
As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb. Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
-select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
-move aperture library to live on external drive
-import iphoto library into aperture library
-eliminate dups but maintain organization
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
-live happily ever after
Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
-move aperture library to live on external drive
Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit Aperture
2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Referenced - relocate your Masters first.
These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
-import iphoto library into aperture library
FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
You can't. Every photo is in a Project. They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app you've purchased.
The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

I tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures. i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help

i tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures. i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help
and on a second problem. I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

With Netscape all of the Webcam shots from live feeds were automatically saved in my cache folder and I could simply open my cache send the saved files into AcDsee and convert them into jpgs, It would save as many as I would allow space for. With firefox

I cant retrieve my images from webcams that are cached any more with mozilla. With netscape all of the live webcam images from live cams were automatically saved in my cache folder and all i had to do was open it send the files to acdsee and turn them into jpgs. It would save them untill the Cache ran out of room no matter how many files or sites I had running. Mozilla seems to save what it wants when it wants and often dose not save any that I can retrieve because I believe it is bulking them into Cache 123 or 4 and those i cant open to retrieve the files. Sometimes it saves 100 or so and sometimes 2 or 3 sometimes 10 or more but i don't seem to have any control over what it does or does not save to retrieve no matter how much space i allow for the cache to save.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I finally gave up trying to keep netscape due to all the ridiculess popups and continued reminders from you saying i had to switch over

You have or had an extension installed (Ant.com Toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.3 to Firefox/3.0.12.
You can see the Firefox version at the top and the user agent at bottom of the "Help > About" window (Mac: Firefox > About Mozilla Firefox).
You can check the '''general.useragent''' prefs on the '''about:config''' page.
You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
Filter: '''general.useragent'''
If ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.

How do I "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format in After Effects

I was informed that I needed to use After Effects to "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format.
I have the movie clip in composition, I see the effects and presets drop box on the lower right.
How do I insert the text blocks to mask certain areas of the movie clip?
Thank you,
Preston

Select Checked Out Files Within Folder

So if I right-click on a folder and choose Select->Checked
Out Files it looks on the whole site for files that are checked
out. The same is true if I have it look for files modified in the
last x days. Is it possible to select only the files checked out
from a particular folder?
My site is quite large and I often work on a folder at a
time. Other editors may be changing other files, so I don't want to
check in the whole folder in case I haven't downloaded their
edits.

I am having the same trouble with DW CS3. Any ideas?

My downloads through Firefox don't actually download - "Open" and "Open containing folder" and greyed out when I right click the downloads in the downloads menu

I've had this problem for quite a while. The downloads don't actually download. Nothing comes up in my downloads folder (and I've checked where they are supposed to be stored, I am checking the right place). In my downloads popup through the Firefox client, if I right click any download, both "Open" and "Open containing folder" are greyed out. I have tried using both Firefox 18 and the current Nightly client, and have reinstalled multiple times.

Maybe this will look like a "take aspirin" suggestion, but based on experience so far, The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
