Motion having issues with layered PSD files. Adds more to images

Motion is distorting my layered PSD files in a way that I can't seem to figure out how to fix. Here are two examples of what I'm talking about:
http://www.coyopa.com/motion_problem.jpg
http://www.coyopa.com/motion_problem2.jpg
There are two PSD images. The person is one layer and the background is the other. As you can see with the background layer turned on, the image is stretched or smeared. When the background layer is turned off, elements from the distorted background are appearing, such as the extended black shoulder or the line coming out of the head.
The images I started with with were high res scans saved as grayscale TIFs. I converted them to PSD and switched the color space to RGB. I did my work in Photoshop and imported them into Motion which is when the problems began.
I suspect the problem may be my graphics card which is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I am running Motion 3.0.2 and Leopard 10.5.8. My Motion project settings are XDCAM EX 1080p30.

I'm having a similar problem, but changing the resolution to the exact max of 2896x2896 doesn't work for me...and neither does any smaller resolution for some reason.
Today, my layered PSD file is at least not experiencing the crazy tile-effect you included in your posted images, but it is now:
1) always converting the top layer of the PSD file to a flattened image of the whole file.
2) ignoring/mutating my alpha channel information, as areas that should be transparent and smoothly masked off are now opaque and/or blocky.
My images are large, but I need to keep them large for dollying in real closely when i fly a camera through the scene. This is not a problem in After Effects, but I also need to do a lot of these 2.5D animations and several need particle/replicator effects... and I just work much much faster in Motion than AE. I don't remember having this problem with Motion 3 at all, but I can't say I've done a scientific comparison (nor do I want to uninstall M4 for M3).

Photoshop CC having issues with one PSD file (Download inside)

I'm running Windows Enterprise 7 X64, 8gb DDR3, 1TB WD Black. AMD AM3 965.
Just a simple graphic I'm working on for my company... Nothing special.
It has over 700+ layers/deminsions are 2560x1024. They layers are mostly Pushpins on a map (Graphic is a map).
Now I was cruising along and finished part of the graphic, and saved the file to work on for another day. Today I opened the file only to be hit with this huge lag trying to open. I figured it was my system so I did routine cleaning, and the works, but still had issues... Even when open it lags out photoshop. I even tried it on my other graphics station and at home, still lags.
I work with 1gb files day in and day out, but this small 7mb file is a killer.
I figured out a solution, basically I added a folder... That was it! Adding a folder fixed the lag.
Here is the PSD without adding a folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kziuoi5nj9azb3n/20130725_ProgenyES_MappedClients.psd (Ignore the folder naming, I didn't get a chance to finish it)
Download it, see for yourself.
Also, the background looks pink, but its white... Not sure if that is because of the pushpins which are kind of pink making the background look pink?!

In both my Mac and PC versions of Photoshop CC, the background is white. I run Windows 7 64 6GB ram. Your file is correctly tagged sRGB which means the colors are correctly read. My PS color settings in both cases are NA General Presets 2. My browsers show white as well.
I tend to use a neutral gray interface instead of dark. I don't know if that influences how a picture looks to you.
Sometimes having an Adobe RGB workspace can make sRGB files take on a pink cast. Check "ask when opening" and select an sRGB option.
Using the eyedropper, the white background is 255,255,255 pure RGB white.
This file opens instantly.
So I'll await any followup questions if you have any.

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
You can double check this yourself:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

I'm having issues with opening a file from an external hard drive

So I'm having issues opening a project which was saved from my friends computer, while when I tried to open the file with CS6 a message poped up saying it was damaged and can't be opened so I updated my premiere pro to CC but when I tried to open it with this version a message saying that the project was saved in a newer version of Premiere Pro and cannot be opened in this version. What can I do to solve this problem?

Update to the latest version. (There are several than can be called CC.)

Any body else having issues importing Photoshop .psd files in 10.1.3?

I used to load a .psd file into the timeline and as long as it was 8bit, RGB and all the layers were rasterized it worked like a charm. Now the individual layers do not show up, and it just loads .psd as normal images.
Am i missing something?

Yes I've tried it in 10.1.3. Looks like this
Can you post a copy of the PSD file somewhere that it can be downloaded?
Did you try trashing prefs though I don't see why it would effect this.

Issues with black psd files on black backgrounds when exported to PDF.

Hello there,
I'm having an issue since I upgraded to leopard and moved all my stuff from my old macbook pro (running OSX 10.4) to my new macbook pro (running OSX 10.5). CS3 didn't seem to have any problems before but now when I export an Indesign file with a black background containing a photoshop layered tif with a black background to pdf, the appears to be a big difference between the blacks - the Indesign file's black appears to be a mid grey.
Any help would be appreciated!
Here's how it all looks in InDesign: http://aycu14.webshots.com/image/48613/2005862333507831436_rs.jpg
But this happens when exported and viewed in Acrobat (or preview etc.): http://aycu02.webshots.com/image/49801/2005871851784365159_rs.jpg

In ID prefs go to Appearance of Blacks
and set both instances to display Blacks Accurately.
You will need to measure the rich black in the Tiff and make a rich black swatch in ID and use that for your book cover. now the blacks will match.

I am having issues with opening pdf files directly from website on safari.

i cant open any pdf files from safari. the page goes blank when the link is clicked.
the same, however, can be easily viewed upon and saved on chrome or firefox.

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Having issues with Microsofts new File Explorer

I am currently configuring a golden image for our student computers. Now I am facing an issue in the file explorer. I have noticed that microsoft added quick access items to the ribbon and file menu.
For instance, I dont want my students to open the command prompt or powershell. The only way I found to prohibit this is to use applocker from the local group policies. But then batch files wont run either. (this is under the explorers file menu)
Another item I dont want my students to use is at the "view" part of the ribbon. Use checkboxes, hide/unhide files and show file extensions. These settings undo other policies I have set on my server.
How can I handle/remove/block these settings?

Hi,
Based on my research,we can modify the following registry key to disable Folder Options:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer
In right-side pane, add a DWORD value named NoFolderOptions,and modify the key to 1.
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
Value Name: NoFolderOptions
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = show options, 1 = hide options)
Meanwhile,open Group Policy,and enable "Prevent access to Registry editing tools".
User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
in right-side pane, set "Prevent access to Registry editing tools" to either Not Configured or Disabled.
Finally,reboot your system.
Hope this helps.

Issue with opening .PDF files after recalling from Symantec Enterprise Vault

Good Morning,
I am having issues with opening PDF files that have been recalled from Symantec Enterprise Vault and some of the files are anywhere from 3-4 years old. Some files open, while others return the error: Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is not a supported file type or might have been damaged. It is inconsistent as to which files it occurs with. I am not ready to believe that I have that many corrupt files out there. I am opening them on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 desktop. Adobe 10.1.7. I have already configured the registry setting for bValidateBytesBeforeHeader that I found in another article to no avail.
The files are on a network share, but I also tried copying them to my local desktop and still received the error.
I have seen other posts regarding this error, but do not see a definitive solution and am hoping that in recent days someone has come up with a solution.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.

Motion 4 + layered PSD files = me banging my head against the wall

I posted this same question in the other M4/PSD file problem, but it was marked as answered (and the answer isn't working for me).
I'm having a similar problem, but changing the resolution to the exact max of 2896x2896 doesn't work for me...and neither does any smaller resolution for some reason.

I can't believe I didn't see that! I scanned them in 24-bit color but they are B&W images anyways, so I'm not sure why or how they ended up as 8-bit greyscale... maybe has something to do with the lousy HP dinosaur-of-a-scanner and it's weird proprietary HP interface (couldn't get it to interface with PS4 and don't use it enough to fuss with it).
Thanks!

I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes so I want to restore it. Dont want to lose my files from my iPad.

Actually I have 2 problems: I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it. I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore. My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems. I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions? Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6? (currently 7.0.3).
Thanks,

I'm having issues with text layers in photoshop. Text layers show it's there but not visible on the canvas.

I'm having issues with text layers in photoshop. They aren't visible. I've checked font size, alignment, layer order and color. And the layer list shows that it's there. All seems well but I still can't see the text that I write. Need help trouble shooting. (I asked this question about a month ago but I got sidetracked and never circled back.) Thanks.

Having issues with Illustrator files in CS5

I recently uninstalled CS4, needing the memory space. Now I am having issues with Illustrator CS5. When I go to open the program, i am receiving this error message: "Adobe Illustrator has detected a problem with the windows registry which needs to be corrected for Illustrator to work properly. Would you like Illustrator to correct the problem now?" so i click "yes" and the program opens, but then when i go to open a file, the AI icon doesnt show up on any of the files, it takes forecer to open, if it even opens the file - sometime i get the message "cannot recognize file type".

Your install never finished properly. Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall all your Adobe software from scratch with proper admin privileges and security tools turned off to prevent interference.

I've encountered this error myself upon occasion. If I remember correctly, it was a permissions/ownership issue with the some of the files I was copying.
