My CR2 files are being saved as PNG and not PSD

When I import files into Elements 12 Organizer, I want to use the Instant Fix Smart Fix option. The CR2 files are being exported to the PNG format, and I want them to be PSD files, I don't have a way to return to the options of how to save my files by using the Instant Fix button. I really would appreciate some help on this. I can't seem to get any tech support by navigating the Adobe Web site - I always land in the Forums.

In PSE12, whenever I want to use the smart fix option in the organizer for a raw file, I get a dialog with various format options and the possibility to check one of those formats by default. If I check the checkbox to always use that format and not to display the menu, I find myself in the same situation as yours.
I don't know of a way to get the menu back... Deleting the organizer preferences should help, unless other users have a better idea.

  • Render Files Are Being Saved onto My Mac Book Hard Drive...?

    Hi All -
    So, I was highly curious as to why I have such little disk space on the hard drive on my Mac Book Pro and discovered that there is a file called "Render Files" on my hard drive which contains an enormous amount of video footage from movies I've edited in FCP.
    I don't understand why these files are going into my hard drive...? I have an external My Book connected to my computer. In FCP under System Settings, on the Scratch Book tab, Video Capture, Video Render and Audio Render are all checked off and to the right of this my My Book is listed. So I thought everything would be going into my My Book external drive.
    However, I looked into My Book and noticed that there is a file that says Capture Scratch that seems to have all of the captured footage of these movies. So, I'm thoroughly confused as to what this "Render Files" file is doing on my hard drive and how can I just get all video footage to automatically store on my external My Book drive. I'm afraid that if I delete the files in the "Render Files" that I'm going to create a real disaster.
    Any advice or clarification on this would be most appreciated.
    Thanks so much!

    Hi -
    Couple of options for you to consider:
    Open the Render Folder that you have found on your internal hard drive and sort the files by date. Are the files recent / from the current project that you are working on?
    If they are then I would go to
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
    download Preference Manager and trash your preferences. This will cause you to lose your current preferences, favorites, etc., which you will have to manually reset - but often clears up strange behavior in FCP. I would then go back and reset my Scratch Disk settings to the external drive.
    Is there at Render Files folder on your external drive? Open that and sort be date and see if your current project render files are there.
    If they are, that would mean the render files you found on your internal drive are from projects prior to you assigning the files to your external drive.
    Hope this helps.

  • Lumix raw files are showing horrible green cast and not option

    Hi, since upgrading Aperture to the current version, my new Pictures when shown the preview are ok, however when clicking on them they change to a horrible green. My files are RAW (.RW2) from a Panasonic Lumix GX1. Other thing, when checking in Adjustments, the RAW Fine Tuning Adjustment is greyed.
    The ones from my Nikon D800 are good, that means, is not a general problem.

    What is your MacOS X version? Your camera should be supported by MacOS X 10.7.4 or later, but your signature says 10.7.2?
    If you have MacOS 10.7.4 or later,  but Aperture does not recognize your camera, try to register the raw support for your camera with the launch services db, see this post by Alan Roseman:
    Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command
    In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the  follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library

  • Save as png and not psd setting?

    hi all,
    i am a long time user but have not spent enough consistent time to avoid some very bad habits. i thought i would take some time to see if i can fix some of these. apologies for the multiple posts today.
    anyway, i am sometimes in a situation where i need to save images as png at a certain size or something for a website (or just because i like to save out as png) and in many cases i am not using any optimizations in psd files.
    is there a way to have photoshop default to Save As png?
    right now i think i have to do a pulldown every time i want a png and when i am trying to do some kind of "batch processing" i am getting a bit of carpal tunnel with all my clickthroughs.
    also, any tips on where to read up on optimizations or built in batch functionality in photoshop would be great. i have been using Preview for the mac and some of the functionality there (convert all to png, resize all to XX etc, etc) is really, really great.
    TIA

    Ifanview will let you batch convert to PNG.  I've not actually used it in that respect, so can't say what options you get, but it usually does a stand out job of everything, and it's free.  Windows only AFAICT

  • Psd files are being saved as .14 file format and I cannot open them

    I have been creating a few large (100MB+) files in Adobe Photoshop CS4. I saved the files both as .psd and .jpg. When I restarted my computer the next day, I went to open the file and instead of seeing the normal Photoshop icon on the file it was just a blank page icon. After attempting to open it in CS4 it flashes an alert saying, "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document. Then when I hover my cursor over the icon the File Type says "14 File"
    I then clicked the help button in CS4 to solve the problem only to be greeted with another error message of, "There was an error loading the Adobe Help Application, you may need to re-install the application and the help component" which would be all well and good if I were at home and had the original handy. Unfortunately I am out of town and unable to do so. I do not wish to buy another version of Photoshop but I need to work on these files. Please Help

    I'm not sure what happened. I would suspect something with your system, hopefully not malware.
    Run a Anti virus scan. Also do some disk maintenance, check disk, cleanup, and defrag.
    You can rename the files with the correct extensions and see if they open.
    Let's see. You don't have access to your discs, but you can download the installer:
    Download CS4 products
    Have your serial number ready and if CS4 was an upgrade, the qualifying serial number.
    You can these under the account you registered them under with Adobe.
    Usually here: https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html
    If you uninstall the old CS4, use the Cleaner tool to remove any remnants.
    Also checkmark "Remove Preferences" when uninstalling.
    Do this all using your admin account.

  • Web searches are being done using yahoo and not google. I tried the fixes given but they don't work. I want to use Google by default

    only by clicking on mozilla firefox start page can i get a google search. the initial screen always uses yahoo

    Thanks Nubz
    I will review further an correct myself.
    The last reads the way I meant as in physically getting to see it.
    I am not sure you are reading it the same way.
    As a consequence your suggestion seems a bit ambiguous to my mind.
    Thanks for the input. I will read a digest context a bit more and see if I can rephrase.

  • AppleWorks documents are being saved automatically as Unix files. How?

    Working on a G3 iBook with OS X (10.3), all AppleWorks documents are being saved as Unix Executable Files by the program despite the dialogue box saying they will be saved as Appleworks documents complete with ".cwk".
    After a while of successfully opening these files via Get Info/ Open As, AppleWorks itself refuses to open up and I have to reload Appleworks onto the computer from disk for another brief lifespan.
    Ideas? Help please.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The files aren't actually saved as Unix executables, your system just thinks they are. I find this kind of file confusion often occurs if permissions aren't repaired using Disk Utility after a system update.
    You can "re-teach" your system what program opens those files. Click a known AppleWorks document in the Finder to highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose AppleWorks 6. If AppleWorks 6 is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the AppleWorks 6 application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with AppleWorks 6.

  • Ipod cannot restore"because files are being used by another application"

    Hello all,
    I hope someone can help me. I think I mad a big mistake. I did a favor for my father who bought the newest IPod clip on shuffle for my mom. I agreed to get it up and running using my laptop, (which has Itunes for my Ipod w/video) would this create a conflict. Unfortunately I didn't think of asking BEFORE i tried to get the shuffle up and running. The shuffle works fine now but my 30GB Ipod is not able to sync any songs and has requested me to restore to the default settings. Which I tried but when I do it states that I can't because "files are being used by another application" So I tried to use the chat help on this website and when I logged in it picked my product type as a SHUFFLE. Can someone give me any advice. Thanks

    I get this messager and I have no other ipods or dev. to my system and have problems when I disconnect also?? Even have done a complete restore, to no help. Help

    Is there a way to not have photo stream photos save to my iphone?  i have many shared photo streams hoping to not bog down my iphone space.  but alas the photos are are being saved on my iphone.
    For example.  When I share a photo stream with my dad and brother and mother all the photos they are putting in the shared photo stream are taking up space on my iphone!  I'll be out of space in no time at this rate.

  • File corruption on SDCard when multiple files are being written from WinCE 6.0R3

    We currently have file corruption problems which we have been able to reproduce on our system which uses WinCE 6.0R3. We have an SDCard in our system which is mounted as the root FS.  When multiple files are being written to the file system we occasionally
    see file corruption with data destined from one file, ending up in another file, or in another location in the same file.  We have already written test SW that we have been able to use to reproduce the problem, and have worked with the SDCard vendor to
    check that the memory controller on the card is not the source of the problems.
    We know that the data we send to WriteFile() is correct, and that the data which eventually gets sent through the SDCard driver to the SD card is already corrupted.
    We believe that the problem is somewhere in the microsoft private sources between the high level filesystem API calls and the low level device calls that get the data onto the HW.
    We have confirmed that the cards that get corrupted are all good and this is not a case ofpoor quality flash memory in the cards. The same cards that fail under WinCE 6.0R3 never fail under the same types of testing on Windows, Mac OX, or linux.  We
    can hammer the cards with single files writes over and over, but as soon as multiple threads are writing multiple files it is only a matter of time before a corruption occurs.
    One of the big problems is that we are using the sqlcompact DB for storing some data and this DB uses a cache which get's flushed on it's own schedule. Often the DB gets corrupted because other files are being written when the DB decides to flush.
    So we can reproduce the error (with enough time), and we know that data into the windows CE stack of code is good, but it comes out to the SDcard driver corrupted.  We have tried to minimize writes to the file system, but so far we have not found a
    way to make sure only one file can be written at once. Is there a setting or an API call that we can make to force the OS into only allowing one file write at a time, or a way of seeing how the multiple files are managed in the private sources?
    Thanks
    Peter

    All QFE's have been applied we are building the image so we have some control.
    I have build an image which used the debug DLL's of the FATFS and I have enabled all of the DebugZones.  The problem is still happening. From the timings in the debug logs and the timestamps in the data which corrupts the test file I have been able
    to see that the file is corrupted AFTER the write is complete. Or at least that's how it seems.
    We finished writing the file and closed the handle. Then more data is written to other files. When we get around to verifying the file it now contains data from the files that were subsequently written.
    What I think I need to do is figure out in detail how the two files were "laid down" onto the SDCard.  If the system used the same cluster to write the 2 files then that would explain the issue.

    Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

  • HT1339 My nano won't restore, it says  it can't because "files are being used"  Please help me get the "chipmunk's and Beiber" off my ipod!!!

    I am trying to restore my nano to get my kids' chipmunk and beiber music off and it replys that it cant because files are being used.....what do i need to do???

    First and foremost, just say no to Beiber
    First, close all open apps on your computer and restart your computer. Open only iTunes when it restarts.
    Then, I would reset your iPod, probably not needed but I would do it  any way. Hold the sleep/wake button and the volume down button until the Apple logo appears. Wait for it to completely start  up to where it is ready to use.
    Now try and restore. If the iPod was synced with your own computer to put the music on, you can use it to remove it. Usually that is preferred instead of restoring.

  • With ios6 where do my pictures go when I click "Save Photo" from Facebook? I can't find where they are being saved.

    I just downloaded IOS6 and now I can't seem to save pictures from Facebook to my iPhone. I click on the picture as I always have and click "save photo", however I can't find where these pictures are being saved. They are not showing up in my photos folder as they once did. Please help!

    I was having the same issue and just figured it out.  There's a setting you have to turn on to allow Facebook to access your photos.  One it's turned on it starts working.  Here is the location:
    Settings > Privacy > Photos > turn facebook to ON
