Need help moving photoshop files with layers

I have been having some trouble, when I attempt to move photoshop files with a CD-R disk, from my school pc to my home mac, only the top most image is moved. The layers are deleted, and I only receive the image on the background layer. I need the layers to continue working on the pieces. Would a flash drive transfer the whole file, or am I doing something wrong with the disk file?

Yeah, time is a factor because the system is getting wiped in a few days. The school version is photshop 7 I believe, and I have photoshop CS3 extended here. What I did was save the file to the CD burner, I didn't change the format to my knowledge. I thought that the data would have transfered from computer to computer, but it didnt, its like it saved as a different file entirely. I assume that using a flash drive would preserve the info in its entirety. I guess your saying that the type of file its saved as changes whether its a photoshop layers file, or just a flat image. I'll try again tomorrow.

Need help moving photoshop 7.0.1 to new computer

I hope everyone is doing well. I also hope someone can help me out. I need to move/load Photoshop 7.0.1 onto a different computer - o/s Windows XP Professional v.2002. We are a small company with no IT department and the original CDs and product keys/proof of purchase are lonnnnnnnnng gone. Upgrading is not an option at this time, the powers that be will most likely tell me to do my photoshop work on the laptop, but I want everything at my fingertips at my desk. Too much to ask? Apparently it is because I cannot figure out how to load onto my desktop.
I've read, in several places, that Adobe allows the user to download the software to two computers, but I don't know if its ever been loaded elsewhere and when I moved the file from my laptop to our rustic server - didn't work. Then I tried copying everything to a memory stick and moving it to my new computer BUT there is no .exe file when I do this. I can't make it run. And never did I receive an messages that scream - hey you, you can't load this on more than two computers.
I called Adobe and they informed me that they no longer support this version over the phone and that I should check out the forums. Unfortunately, I cannot find the info I need on the forum. Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology in my search - I have tried several variations...loading, moving, reinstalling....and come up empty. Actually, come up with lots of stuff (from years ago) that doesn't help. In one post I thought could be the holy grail, there was a link that bottomed out - took me nowhere.
I don't what else to do, I don't know what the google anymore. I'm hopeful someone has an answer other than an upgrade. Thanks.

Note that I am assuming you're properly licensed to be able to run the app on your new computer. I do not propose doing anything illegal.
With the ollld versions of Photoshop, like the one you have, you can try going through a process like this:
1. Copy the entire c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0 folder to the new computer.
2. Try to run Photoshop on the new computer.
3. Note any "missing DLL" message.
4. Locate the DLL on the old computer (e.g., in C:\Windows\System32 or wherever), and copy it to the same place on the new computer.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until no more "missing DLL" messages present themselves.
There may be other types of messages you'll see. They're usually descriptive enough to be able to determine what it's looking for that it does not have. If you get one you're unsure of how to handle, post it here.

Using Photoshop files with layers in iDVD

I prefer using my old DVD Studio Pro to iDVD, but since newer versions of Quicktime can't export to mpeg2 I'm forced to either use iDVD or buy a new version of DVDSP. Given that iDVD is already on my computer and DVDSP requires the purchase of the Final Cut Suite, I was wondering about how tweakable the menus and themes in iDVD are. Is there a way to create customized themes with your own menu pages with different shaped buttons, unique images and text? In DVDSP you could import Photoshop files and the file would retain the layers which would allow you to use layers as buttons, images, or text on you menu. Is there a way to do this in iDVD or am I out of luck? Thanks in advance!

any version of DVDSP contained "Compressor", which does the conversion of any iM project into the needed m2a, m2v streams for use in DVDSP... and no version of QT was able to export to mpeg2, except you tought that trick with some plug-ins, installed by DVDSP.... (?)
sure, you can customize menus, but not as flexibile as DVDSP; read the tutorials, or one of the "Missing Manuals" by David Pogue; import of PS-layers is not supported; iDVD is a consumer product.-

Need help exporting ID file with TOC to EPUB.

I've been troubleshooting a file created in ID CS5.5 and then moved to CC. When I export to EPUB the TOC ends up at the end of the file rather than at the point where I originally inserted the TOC. The vendor I'm sending the EPUB to won't accept a file with the TOC out of place. I tried exporting to an HTML editor and moving the TOC there. (I'm no whiz at HTML though.) Now I see no way to import the file back into ID to export it as EPUB ( and doubt that's the best way to deal with this anyway). I'd deeply appreciate any suggestions!

First of all, a TOC is not only "The Toc". You need to distinguish between the dynamic Reader TOC and a optional TOC e.g. on page 3. While the first is generally required, the second is optional in most cases.
You must also distinguish whether the export is EPUB 2 or EPUB 3.
1. Assume you mean the dynamic TOC > InDesign will create the TOC on the right place, if you choose the TOC-Style during the export.
2. Assume you mean the TOC on page 3 > Here the content- or article-order is important! If you have a threaded story from page 2-100 and your TOC as a single frame on page 3 > InDesign will first export the content on page 2 AND the content of all threaded frames and at least your TOC on page 3.
3. Assume further your exported file is correct in most cases, you can change the order of your TOC in the EPUB directly in the content.opf file in the spine-area
To give you more help, I must have a look at your file.

Photoshop File with Layered Set to Multiply Not Honored in InDesign CS3

I am placing a PSD file from Photoshop CS3, that has a reflection/shadow layer set to Multiply with an additional layer of the model set to Normal within Photoshop. When I place this PSD in InDesign CS3, the Multiply inside of the Photoshop file is not honored.
Is this Normal Behavior?
Thanks

Hey all,
I've encountered this same problem in CS3, and for the life of me, I thought I remember in CS2 that the layers were indeed honored--hence the advantage of using native PSD files in InDesign. This was so any effects (transparency or otherwise) would be carried over in the InDesign file, therefore removing the limitations of using legacy formats like TIFF or EPS, which did not allow this type of dynamic workflow.
Give us your thoughts on this, as it has hindered a couple of jobs in CS3 which required the effects exactly as explained above by the OP.
Thanks!

Need help to reduce file with photoshop!!

I own a website flash game http://babegamer.com
I asked someone create a banner for my site but it in GIF animation with over 1.5mb. Thus, I change it into jpg with only 30kb (static banner).
Someone tell me convert gif to swf to reduce the size. How ever when I try to use the software to convert it, it make a swf which is bigger size then gif.
How can I do it?

You rebuild it in Flash! Sorry, there's no easy solution to your problem. You need to encode the stuff as FLV and then create a proper SWF from it or even better, animate everything as native layers/ symbols in Flash. Your alleged magic conversion too fails, because such tools embed each frame as a JPEG, hence such SWFs often get larger than the source. If you will - they are merely converting each frame of your GIF to a JPEG and embed it into an SWF wrapper.

(need help) Replacing AVI files with MOV files in a edit.

I'm working on a large edit that uses low res AVI files for editing,
Though all the high res files are written as MOV's with exactly the same name (just being a different filetype)
Is there a way to automaticly re-link all those avi movies with those high res MOV files?
The edit is quite big, so it would save me a very tedious job

Close Premiere. Change the name of the folder the current AVI files are in. Reopen Premiere. When it asks you where the files are, point it to the new ones.
The only stumbling block may be the different extension. I'm not sure if Premiere will pass that by or trip over it.

Export as a Photoshop file, write layers unavailable

Hello all,
I am new on this board, I did some research and couldn't find an answer to my problem. I hope you'll be able to help me !
I am used to work and design my projects with Illustrator CS4 and then to click on File >> Export >> Photoshop file >> Check the Write Layers options >> OK.
I don't know what I did with one of my file, but suddenly I can't check the option "Write Layers" whereas it worked fine few days ago...
I tried with other files I have and it works fine... but not with this new one...
Do you have any idea of what I did?
This file has 66 layers, and there are no nested groups (I read online that it could be the problem but it's not)...
I tried to remove all the layers except one and I still have this problem, I can only export it as a flat image...
Thanks for your help! I really need to export it as a photoshop file with layers.
Laurent

I double check and my document is RGB and I want to export to RGB, so this is not the issue.
I really don't know what it could be
I attached an illustrator file I created using the one I am having a problem with. This is just an ellipse and a rectangle. I can't export it to a Photoshop file with the Write Layers option checked... any idea?

Photoshop CS3 shuts down after opening a PSD file with layers

Hello, I have met a problem with Photoshop CS3 (Windows XP SP2, no network printer) - after opening a PSD file with layers (saved with CS2) Photoshop shuts down. No error message.
Can some of you help me? (The only software that I have installed after Creative Suite CS3 is Corel X4. I have installed no upgrades of CS3.)

> I have installed no upgrades of CS3
You should!
Even if it doesn't help here you should.

I need help moving my Photoshop 7 from my old laptop to my new laptop which is running Windows 7 Enterprise. I’ve tried two routes unsuccessfully. I install the CD, it does not autoplay. I execute Autoplay.exe at the root directory, I am welcomed, I choose English, I accept the EULA, I get the Install/Explore choices window, with the Install button already selected, I click the Photoshop button, the CD spins, and nothing happens. In the 2nd attempt I execute Setup.exe in the Photoshop directory, and nothing happens at all. I’m never even offered the opportunity to enter my product code. What should I do?

There could is likely a compatibility problem between the old software and the newer operating system.

Photoshop file with lots of text layers for Final Cut

I have created a photoshop file with around 20 different text layers. The sizing and the location of the layers is essential.
When my editor imports the file the text layers lose their properties (sizing and placement).
Is there something I should be doing to help solve this problem?
Can you use text layers between photoshop and final cut?

I would ask this in the 'Mac' side of the PS forum.

How can I open a psd file with layers in touch?

I want to edit a psd file with layers in photoshop touch. Is this possible?

No. (Kind of, sort of.) You can export PS Touch projects for import into desktop Photoshop and have the layers intact for further editing but you cannot do the reverse; any imported PSD will be automatically flattened. (I'm guessing this was done to prevent crashing. PS Touch supports 12 layers max vs. the potential thousands available in desktop Photoshop.)

Need help on struts configuration with ColdFusion 10 using IIS

We need help on struts configuration with ColdFusion 10 using IIS.
Earlier we were using ColdFusion 8 with IIS 6 for one of our application. This application internally calls struts. After upgrading to ColdFusion 10 struts calls are not loading. We get 404 error.
In ColdFusion 8 struts were configured using actions extension .do in IIS from this file-
C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll.
But in ColdFusion 10 this file is not present as ColdFusion 10 uses Tomcat in place of Jrun.
Also there is no information in ColdFusion log file.

doctormirabilis, Welcome to the discussion area!
1) how can i configure the time capsule in order to operate as a remote base station synchronizing with the relay using the ethernet port?
Configure the Time Capsule to act as a bridge (not distributing IP addresses). Also configure the Time Capsule to create an 802.11n wireless network with a unique network name (SSID). That's it.
2) how can i avoid that my powerbook while accessing my wireless network does connect through the relay station instead of using the time capsule?
Configure the Time Capsule to use a different network name than the WDS link between the 2 AirPort Express (AX). Configure the PowerBook to use the Time Capsule network.
There are 2 pieces of information that you should be aware of...
(1) None of the PowerBooks are capable of 802.11n.
(2) The WDS link cuts your available bandwidth in half. So the wireless link to your neighbor's has a maximum potential of 27 Mbps.
Let's for a minute assume that you have a Mac compatible with 802.11n. In your configuration the time you could take advantage of the 802.11n speed is when the Mac is sending/recieving data directly from/to the Time Capsule.
There would be NO speed increase in Internet access. The speed of Internet access is going to be controlled by the slowest link in the path to the Internet. That is probably the connection to the ISP. The next slowest path is the WDS link to your neighbor's.
Duane,
I am in a similar situation, sharing internet with my neighbor. Do you think it would be plausible to hook up a vonage phone adapter to time capsule's ethernet port if time capsule is bridging from my neighbor's router in the configuration you have described? A check of my upload speed shows 1.67Mbps (powerbookG4 w/ airport extreme). Vonage reccommends 90kbps minimum upload speed. Am I going to lose some speed putting the Vonag adapter behind time capsule?
Thank you
