Need Help. PSD corrupted in middle of workflow.

I have no idea what happened to my psd. I have never seen this before and am hoping I just pressed some keys.
I closed photoshop restarted computer and nothing happened. All these are supposed to have images I was on my last layer & wasted 2 hours.
Has anyone had their psds corrupt like this? If so How did you fix it? I am on a deadline. Also how can I prevent this problem from happening again.
PLEASE HELP!

I hate to tell you this, but you are probably out of luck. We see this once a month or so, and people seldom manage to retrive anything worth while, but it is unusual to see this happen mid workflow. It usually seems to happen when saving, or is discovered when attempting to open a file.
You mave have something in the recovery folder if Photoshop consideres itself to have crashed, but I don't know what OS you are using. (Allways best to upload your entire screen at full res so people can more information).
You may be able to use one of the PSD recovery apps found on the Web, if your last save is also corrupted. I'm assume you save often? It is also a good idea to increment file names every 15 to 30 minutes in case of this sort of situation. A lesson the regular posters here have learned from other poster's misfortune.
Good luck, but my gut feeling is that you are probably not going to have any.

Need Help with Corrupted Graphics

I need help real bad. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to find the reason for crashing in game (not blue screening but corrupted graphics) where the whole screen goes like a television that isn't tuned in, and then after anywhere between 2 to 5 mins my computer will reboot. I'm wondering if anyone has a similar issue, and if there is a fix. I'll list my system specs and a couple of things I have done that hasn't fixed it.
AMD64 3200+ 939 90mn
MSI K8N Neo2 - 1.4 bios
2 x 512mb Geil UltraX
Leadtek 6800u
Audigy
SuperFlower 14cm 500watt
I haven't started to overclock my machine yet as I have yet to fix this problem. Everything is running stock. I'm finding that its random. I can play Prince of Persia Warrior Within for hours on end without a problem. Then play Counterstrike Source and it will go to after about 5 mins. I decided to try benchmarks and 3dmark01 will do the same thing randomly. Even Battle Field will play for about 10 mins and it will just go to the fuzzy screen. I even heard that some Soundblaster Cards cause problems and have tried using the onboard sound, with no effect. I have also disabled AGP SideBand and AGP Fastwrite in the bios, as also this can cause some issues, to no effect. I thought maybe the video card maybe the problem, and threw a crappy 5700 LE in my machine, still with no effect. CPU temp is around 36c (water cooled) and GPU is around 48c. Does anyone have any idea as to why the screen craps out in just about every game I play. I'm running Winxp Pro SP2 with DX9.0c, with the latest Drivers for everything I'm running (mainboard, vga, sound, etc). If you can suggest something, please let me know.

X-((Well, This sorta sounds like what just happened to me.
My graphics card decided to take a dump on me. When I was playing a game the graphics went all garbled and everything froze. System rebooted a couple times, and yes it seems the cards fan stoped rotating and it fried.
So to me, it sounds like your video. But you say you tried changing video cards with no effect.
Dang. Sorry I cant think of anything. But on the bright side, your post was bumped.

Need help with iPhoto '08-Photoshop CS3 Workflow

I'm relatively new to both iPhoto and Photoshop. I have already imported over 3,500 high resolution jpegs into iPhoto from my camera. I've set up iPhoto so that Photoshop is my editing program. I've read that one wants to avoid saving additional jpeg files from original jpeg files. I want to retain my original file, create an optimized (edited) version (in TIFF or PSD format) that can be edited further later if I desire, and create a lower resolution image for web/powerpoint presentations. I want all of these files to retain assigned keywords for cataloging purposes.
What I'm discovering is that iPhoto files opened in Photoshop and saved outside of iPhoto lose keyword information. I realize I can re-import these into Photoshop but I'd like to avoid having to reassign keywords. Is this possible?
Does anyone have a suggested workflow to accomplish the above?

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Need help to create SharePoint 2013 Designer workflow

Hi TechNet Community Team,
I've one list "Purchase Order" where I'm storing the data for purchase order details below are
the fields.
List Name = Purchase Order
Order No, Order Date, Part No, Part Qty, Delivery Date, Delivery Qty, Balance Qty.
Now in above list I'm storing the Purchase order details to check Order Qty and Balance Qty for every part
no and this list is working fine.
Now my requirement is to create one more list to issue the Part No from available Balance Qty in above List "Purchase Order".
So I thought to create new list with below details (Please suggest me if you have other idea also I can use
only SharePoint OutofBox feature or SharePoint Designer 2013):-
List Name = "Issue Order"
Issue No, Part No, Balance Qty, Issue Qty, Issue Date, Remaining Balance Qty OR Stock Qty
So in List Name "Issue Order" once user will select "Part No" the "Balance Qty" will show the available Qty (from Purchase Order
List). And once he enter Qty in "Issue Qty" column it will show the remaining Qty in "Remaining Balance Qty OR Stock Qty" column.
Also "Remaining Balance Qty OR Stock Qty" will get update in "Balance Qty" column in first list "Purchase Order" list so next time
when user will issue the Qty from "Issue Order" he will get the correct Qty for Part No.
Need your help to create workflow for List "Issue Order" so user can issue the items from this list
and balance qty will update accordingly in List Name = Purchase Order. So next time when user will issue the "Part No" he will get correct quantity.

Hi,
For the Point# 1, per my understanding, there are two columns in the list2, both columns are getting values from list1. In List2, when user select a value for the
“Part No”, you want the “Balance Qty” column to be populated automatically.
As there is no such OOTB feature can meet this requirement, custom code using JavaScript would be required.
The two similar demos below would be helpful:

Need help cutting out a middle section of a song!

I have a song that I want to cut out a large portion of the middle.
I have no Garageband experience, so googled/youtubed info.
I THINK I have properly split in the two places where the cut needs to be made, but when I delete that portion between the 2 splits, I cannot get it to join properly! It's like only a small bit has been deleted, NOT what I split and deleted!
Please help!!! I need this done by today!
Thanks so much!

I THINK I have properly split in the two places where the cut needs to be made, but when I delete that portion between the 2 splits, I cannot get it to join properly!
That should work. Have you "Snap to Grid" enabled? Then turn the grid off; you toogle it on and off in the "control" menu in the main menu bar (Choose Control > “Snap to Grid ⌘G).

Wedding photography running out of space. Need help with thousands of photos, and workflow

So my studio does wedding photography. Me and my partner both take photos. We have about 30,000 photos just from the last 2 years. We are running out of space big time. We both have 1 terabyte magnetic hard drives in our computers. I have about 80gb left and she has about 120gb left. Needless to say, since I myself take about 50gb of photos per wedding, I'm not going to last long. We use lightroom.
So far I have managed to backup everything on an external 2TB hard drive for both of us. I save both RAW and Jpegs to it. I also have everything backed up on an online server. So here's my first issue. What I've been doing, is for the previous year (completed weddings) I delete all the RAWs from the computers. I leave the JPEG's on the computer incase I need them quickly. I keep all the RAWS on the external hard drives and online. But even doing this, deleting the RAWs from completed weddings off the internal hard drives, I'm still almost out of space. My computer is so slow because of this even though it's a top of the line computer with 6 gigs of triple channel ram. Lightroom runs so very slow and lags so bad.
So my first question is: By deleting the raws off of my computer, if I need to go back a few years from now and re-save the raw files or re-edit, will lightroom remember my develop settings or will I have to completely re-edit every photo? I have been saving a catalog file for each year, and start a new one every year. I do not use XMP sidecar files I save everything to the lightroom database. As long as I have the catalog file backed up, am I safe? Or am I doing this wrong? Because if open an old catalog file, it will say all the photos are not found on my computer (obviously).
My second question is: I am going to be investing in more hard drives and want to do it right this time around. I want to invest in SSD drives for maximum performance. Here is what my plan is. One SSD drive for windows/programs, one SSD drive for lightroom scratch disk, and one 1TB "Velociraptor" 10,000rpm magnetic hard drive for keeping the actual images on. Is this not right? Am I planning this out wrong?
Here is our current workflow. I am very welcome to suggestions:
1) Shoot wedding.
2) Import RAW files from CF card to computer. It goes in a folder for the client with the images going into different sub folders by category such as "reception" and "ceremony"
3) Import folder into lightroom4.
4) Edit photos. I do not use XMP sidecar, I use database.
5) Export files in JPEG form into the same client folder.
6) At the end of the year I save the catalog, make a new catalog for the new year. I delete the RAW files off of my hard drive after backing them up on 2TB external hard drive. I leave the jpegs and the client's folder on the computer hard drive.

My guess is that you are not actually deleting the original raws from your internal hard drives and have lots and lots of crud around that you are not aware off so you should go through your internal drives with a fine-toothed comb. Don't forget to actually empty the trash when you delete! 1TB is more than enough disk space for storing the Lightroom catalog file, previews and some jpegs. 30.000 photos is really not that much. My main catalog has >50.000 images in it with the raw files all stored on external hard drives. The catalog itself is on my internal 256 GB SSD HD that also houses the previews (so I can use it with the raw files offline) and the operating system as well as a lot of software (photoshop, office, iWorks, Aperture, etc.). It is more than enough space as it still has more than 150 GB free. I automatically back up everything, including the external HD that stores the raw images to separate external HDs stored in different places.

Need help with agent determination for release workflow

Hi,
I am trying to perform a release in the contract(FS-contract management) by using the framework for principle of dual control. When i create a contract, i get a message that says contract created, not yet released. But i am not able to get the work item in my inbox to release the contract. The SWI1 transaction shows 'no agent' for the triggered workflow. I am using the template WS50100021 as there is only one release step. By default there is a rule '50100017' given for the template. But in the customizing settings i have the section called 'assign rule to release steps'. Do i need to assign a rule here for agent determination. If so, what about the rule in the WS50100021 template? Which one should i use? I am able to execute the method 'release' of object BUSISB001 from SWO1 and release or reject the contract creation. But i am not able to get the workitem in my inbox in SBWP transaction

Hi Suhas,
The rule used in workflow template WS50100021 is a standard one. So try to find out that on what basis it is fetching the agents. It could be the case that the logic specified in the rule does not fulfill your requirement.
The other reason could be that you have not specified the task as general. Please check if the agents tab is activated(green) in the task or not. If it is not you need to set the task as general.
SOLUTION : if you want to get the workitem in your own SAP Inbox for testing purpose, you can set the WFINITIATOR as agent instead of that standard rule. This setting will send the workitem in your own SAP Inbox.
Regards,
Guddan

Novice needing help PSD vs JPEG

I am changing from PSE8 to PSE12 and realized upon trying 12 today that PSE12 automatically saves my edited pictures in PSD format where PSE8 saved them in JPEG. I don't use the organizer for catalogs, instead opening up folders where I've saved my pictures (e.g. Christmas 2013)and editing the photos I like in PSE8 and then saving them back in that same folder. It may not be the 'right' way, but it works for me. The picture I tried using PSE12 on, saved in the PSD format which isn't viewable in those folders (windows picture viewer is the default). I truly only use PSE for improving pics I like and want to share/email, use as my desktip background, post to Facebook, and print for myself or gifts via uploading to a photo printing service (Mpix, Walmart, etc.) Is there a way to have PSE12 default to saving as JPEG or should I be saving everything as PSD? I get that PSD only works with PS and takes more space, but doesn't cause loss of quality of the pictures the way JPEG does ~ I'm just not sure it's important for the way I use PSE. Help for a novice?

Saving a PSD as well as a JPEG is really a good habit to get into. Just in case you don't like how the picture looks once its saved, you can go back into photoshop by loading up the PSD and edit any sliders or layers or whatever, where as when you save to a jpeg all of the layer info gets lost as it essentially "flattens" the layers into one picture. If that makes any sense.
The way I do it is I have a folder that contains my PSD's and then my JPEG's saved into the folder where you would be looking at the pictures. For example, in your My Pictures folder I would have a folder called PSDs and a folder called Christmas 2013.
Hope that makes sense

Need help with our "log and transfer" workflow...

All,
Again, it's our first tapeless project so please keep having patience with us.
What should the workflow be for our project?
I bring in the Firestore and dump raw files to a hard drive. Should I then transfer all footage to QT files? OR should my editor start looking at footage and carving it up as he transfers those files to QT?
Our issue is that we have a lot of footage coming in and the new tower is slow when transferring footage from raw files to QT. It's driving us crazy.
Aside from buying a more powerful tower, is there a way for us to review and log the footage and transfer at a real time pace (for example, is there a way to log the footage and do a transfer to QT files at the end of session?).
Thanks.

David, thanks for the questions.
Yes, it's FS-100. And yes, we are shooting on a HVX200.
The settings we were given by our editing guru create MXF files rather than QT. If so, we should dump onto a hard drive and then bring into FCP, correct?
Is there a way to log a number of clips and then transfer them en masse? Or do I have log and transfer them one at a time?
Our issue is that the computer grinds to a virtual halt while transferring.
Thanks again. We look forward to your thoughts.

hi,
you will need to copy the std workflow template and add an activity step for display method of notification and define your own rule in that which gives you the list of agents to whom you need to show QM03
alternately, you can check out template WS20000035.

Need Help Opening a Corrupted File in MS Office Word 2007.

I use Microsoft Office Word 2007. I need help in opening a corrupted file. I tried to open but am getting messages: "cannot be opened", "unreadable content", "do you want to recover contents?" "Do you want to search
for a converter?"
Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this file to open? :/
Thank you,
Chuck in California

From Microsoft Documentation:-
If a file has been damaged and you cannot open it by normal means, you may be able to recover its content by using the Open and Repair
feature.
Click the
Microsoft Office Button
Browse to the file that you want to recover, and click it (do not double-click it).
Click the arrow next to the
Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
