Opening a 16-bit as a 12 or 8-bit?
Why would you open a 16-bit photo in ACR or Photoshop as a 12-or 8-bit photo? What is the point of doing that and what is it doing to the image?
Thanks.
I know of no way to open an image in a "12-bit" mode. Can you clarify what you mean by that?
Regarding "8-bit"... You might choose to open a photo as 8 bit if you don't plan on doing a lot of image editing steps and/or your intended use is strictly for an 8 bit purpose such as saving a JPEG. Doing so simply uses fewer Computer Resources and will be faster.
There are also a fair number of features that will only work on 8 bit data - for example all the Filters in the Filter Gallery and a number of others. If you're using these effects you have to be working on 8 bit data.
People edited 8 bit images for years before the CS series made layers work with deep formats. People with Photoshop Elements still do have to use 8 bits/channel if they want to use layers.
I personally now always open raw files into 16 bits per channel, and convert only to 8 bits if I really need to. If your computer is up to the added stress of working on the larger datasets 16 bits/channel probably the best default to choose.

I am trying to open my iTune 10.4 on my mac mini which is running OS 10.6.8, and I get the message that I need to use the information pane to open in 32-bit rather than 64. But the information pane does not offer this option. I'm in a vicious circle of opening, getting this message, then having to close. Did this come about after the June update of iTunes? And if so, why haven't they fixed it? And what can I do? You'd think Apple would want be to be able to spend my money in their store ...
Try following steps and test one at a time:
1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR. -

How do set image files to open in 32-bit version of PS instead of 64-bit?
I recently got a new laptop with windows 8, it is horrible. Aside from that I was able to install my CS5 , I pinned my 32 bit to the task bar but for some reason whenever I am in bridge and want to open an image (s) it goes to open the 64 bit photoshop. Is there a way to stop this?
I would start with making sure your video driver is up to date:
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html#UpdateDriver
That would cause general instability like you're seeing.
I'd also clear your prefs to be safe: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html#Preferences

How do I get iTunes to open in 32-bit mode if I don't have a Mac, just a PC
I am trying to play a tv show on my PC that I bought on iTunes and it says I don't have the Quicktime, or something like that. So I downloaded a new Quicktime and it still says that. So I clicked on more info and it took me to an Apple page showing how to get iTunes to open in 32-bit mode from a Mac. I have a PC and I need to know how to get iTunes to run in 32-bit mode
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get those page back.
Are you restarting this way?
# Close Firefox
# Open the Applications folder in Finder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox -
i received an error message "iTunes requires 64-bit mode" says to go into my iTunes application and 'uncheck' the 'open in 32-bit mode' checkbox - i went into the application and the box was not checked anyway so why am i getting this prompt? Never happened before. yesterday did the sofware update for maverick.
Thank you for your response, Chris. But I'm afraid I have to disagree. There are native 64 bit versions of iTunes available for OSX and Windows.
In a 64 Bit Windows environment native 64 Bit Applications install the DLL's in a directory called "Program Files" and a directory called "Program Files (x86)" (32 Bit applications only use the ladder).
iTunes 9 is consistent with this behavior - and it identified itself to the system as a 64 bit application (meaning it's process appears without a "*32" tag on it). -
Error Message--ITunes runs in 64-bit mode. Uncheck the Open in 32-bit mode in Get info for ITunes. However it is UNCHECKED. I cannot access itunes at all. What now?
Fallout75, good catch on the eXo plugin. To remove it, in the Finder click "Go" on the menu bar and pull down to "Go to Folder" and then type ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
When that Finder window opens, you should see an "eXo" subdirectory. Just delete that "eXo" folder and iTunes should start without the error. -
Warning Msg: Character Mode report is being opened as a Bit-mapped report
Hi All,
I am opening a Oracle Standard Report in Oracle Apps "INVISMMX", while opening it shows the below warning message:
"Character Mode report is being opened as a Bit-mapped report"
What is the reason for this?
How can I open this report in ASCII mode itself?
Thanks,
GowriI believe Oracle Reports by default will open a report as a bit-mapped report. You can change the poperties of the report to make it a character mode report by:
1. If this is a new report, in the Object Navigator, click the Reports node,
then click in the toolbar.
2. Double-click the properties icon next to the report node to display
the Property Palette.
3. Under the report node, set the width and height properties as desired:
for example, 11 (or 15) width x 8.5 height for landscape or 8.5 width x 11
(or 15) height for portrait.
4. Under the Character Mode node:
a. Set Design In Character Units to Yes.
b. Set the report width and report height to the appropriate
character-mode dimensions for the report, such as, 132 (or 180)
width x 66 height for landscape or 102 width x 85 (or 116) height
for portrait.
5. In the Object Navigator, expand the Data Model node, then the System
Parameters node.
6. Double-click the MODE properties icon to display the Property Palette.
7. Under the Parameter node, set the initial value for property to Character.
8. In the Object Navigator, double-click on the Layout Model node icon.
9. In the Layout Model view, choose FormatLayout OptionsRulers to display
the Ruler Settings dialog box.
10. Set Units to Character Cells and Number of Snap Points Per Grid Spacing
to 1. Click OK.
11. Click View in the menu bar and make sure that Snap to Grid is checked.
12. Choose Tools Preferences to display the Preferences dialog box.
13. On the Preferences page, set Horizontal Interfield to 1 and Vertical
Interfield to 0. Click OK.
14. Choose Format Font, and select the font, style, and size that most
closely approximates the character-mode font (such as, Courier,
Regular, 12 point). -
To run iTunes in 64-bit mode, select the iTunes application in the Finder, choose the “Get Info” command in the File menu, and uncheck the “Open in 32-bit mode” checkbox in the iTunes Info window. but i doesn't have the tick thing plus i redownloaded it again and same message comes up

I can't open a 32-bit HDR file made with Photoshop HDR in Lightroom.
I can't open a 32-bit HDR file made with Photoshop HDR. I saved the file in Photoshop with the maximum compatibility-option on. In Lightroom the file doesn't show a preview and an exclamation mark in the upper right corner. Anybody an idea why and how to solve this problem?
As I said, the files must be saved in TIFF format in order for LR to recognize them.

ITunes will only open in 64 Bit Mode from Dock since Restore
I have only ONE big problem since doing a restore from my Time Machine backup-up for for Late 2009 iMac 27". For some reason I can only get iTunes to open in 64 bit mode if I put an icon on the dock???? It opens in 32 bit mode which is selected in the Get Info - Command+I if I open it from the Finder (which is my preference due to my many 32 bit Visualizers....) but if I put a shorcut icon on the dock REGARDLESS of what my settinigs are in the finder it Always opens in 64 bit mode and tells me my visualizers can not be loaded... Which I am well aware of! What I don't understand is why this has just happened since reformating and restoring from a time machine backup???? Everything else... at this point appears to be working just fine. BUT if I open iTunes from the dock... 64 bit mode no questions asked.... opened from Applications in the finder and it grabs my 32 bit mode Prefs? This is really irritating. I have dumped caches, re-downloaded and installed iTunes. Not sure what else to do??? Why is this ONLY happeningn if I put an iTunes link on the Dock? Any help would be VERY MUCH appreciated. Thanks.

Here's the latest. I did the old standby of creating another Admin Account and the behaviour does not occur when logged into that account. So it appears that the restore somehow screwed up settings on my current account. I have indeed checked and there is no other copy of iTunes on my computer except for the DLoaded version of iTunes10.6 where I downloaded and tried to the re-install thing.
Of course still haven't heard back from Apple but I really wasn't expecting too this early. I guess that my next step is to transfer to the user/shared folder and change permissions on each and every folder/preference and file to the new Admin account... until I find out which setting is causing the problem. To so this is a pain in 'arse' would be an understatement.
Also found out that Preferences has the same behavior as iTunes. 64 bit ALWAYS unless checked during that specific login and NOT started from the dock.... Strange though... both seem to hold the 32 bit (for the session) if run from 'recent', the Apple Menu, or the Finder??? As Alice would say "Curiouser and Curiouser"
My suggestion to ANYONE converting to LION (after this episode) is to back up and do a CLEAN install. Obviously something from Leopard and Snow Leopard doesn't really like Lion that much.
I have been using computers since 1981 and Apples since OS 8 ... even had few dificulties with the OS X beta, but this one has me befuddled and somewhat irritated. I have thousands of dollars worth of software that I really don't want to have to re-install, re-register, but that may be the only viable option at this point. -
Safari 5.1.4 breaks Google products and I want to open in 32-bit mode
As we all know, the new Safari update (5.1.4) breaks everything Google: Gmail, Docs, etc. There is a workaround, but it's NOT A SOLUTION: unchecking "open in 32-bit mode." Because when I do that, guess what? Other websites start breaking — like that of my chosen financial institution, for starters. So I'm going back to 5.1.1 until there's an update that fixes this problem.
Unless, that is, one of you has a brilliant idea that hasn't yet been mentioned in this forum.
<Edited by Host>go here:

choose "different version">full 64 bit and download - seems to have solved probem...let you know if it happens again -
How do I get Firefox to open in 32-bit mode every time?
Often, I will navigate to a site or page within a site and I get the message "restart in 32-bit mode." This is frustrating because once restarted, I'm taken to my browser homepage. I then am required to re-navigate back to where I was when I got the message to restart, sometimes deep with a site.
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get those page back.

As stated in the header,
iCloud
Mail, Contacts, and Calenders
Software Update
all want to open in 32 bit mode. Then when System Preferences quits and relaunches IN 32 bit mode, I get a dialog box saying "You can't open (pick one) preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac." Moreover, Security and Privacy does the same thing only without the song and dance about quitting and reopening.
Whaaaaat???!!! I've never owned anything BUT an Intel Mac.
The "open in 32 bit mode" is not, and has never been checked in "Get Info"
I tried going to ~Library/Preferences and tossing all com.apple.system preferences files and rebooting. No joy.
It actually looks like some joker has included a bunch of PPC preference panes in my copy of MountainLion, except some of them are new to this OS.
My hardware is a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro with4 gb of RAM, and a 500 gb hard drive, in three seperate partitions, running three Mac operating systems, one at a time. I have SnowLeopard in a small partition because I still have a few things that don't run in Lion/ML. Lion is still my main use machine in the largest partition, and when ML came out, I redistributed most of the unused space into a 3rd partition into which I did a clean install of ML in it's own partition so I could work through the growing pains without compromising my main computer. I'm glad I did it that way, but I DO want to get ML working properly, and I can't do that if I can't authorize third party software. Gatekeeper is currently in the way, and I can't get it to move.I dunno, that doesn't make any sense to me.
I just shut down and rebooted into the SnowLeopard partition and took a peek at the preference panes. There are only 3 that run in 32 bit only. They are all 3rd party, and none of the prefpanes are non Intel. Like I said, I have never owned a PPC machine. Anyhow, SnowLeopard doesn't even have an iCloud prefpane, or a combined mail, contacts, and calenders prefpane, and the ML security and privacy prefpane is all new as well. The software update prefpane is Intel and 64 bit in both SnowLeopard and Lion.
As to the triple boot, unless I'm totally mistaken, what I have here is, in essence, 3 seperate descrete computers in one box. All using the same hardware. but one at a time. I wouldn't know how to get more than one running at the same time, without using a virtual machine, even if I wanted to. (Which I don't) I do sometimes transfer files from one to another using the shared folder, but other than that, they do not interact. How could ML system preferences be trying to launch prefpanes from a totally different machine? -
Prefer Bridge to Open in 32 bit CS5
Can Bridge be set to preferentially open files in 32 bit CS5?
Bridge CS5, when it doesn't crash (which seems more frequent than even CS4) opens images in 64 bit CS5 by default.
Most plug-ins are 32 bit so it would seem user-hostile for Adobe to lock down Bridge, which remains as randomly unstable as prior versions, so that images only open in 64 bit CS5 unless the 32 bit version is already opened.
If one uses the 32 bit version of CS5 preferentially it is pointless to have Bridge load automatically when the computer boots. If a Photoshop process is single threaded, which most still seem to be, the 64 bit version will not improve performance for those tasks no matter how much RAM is in the computer, something Adobe seems to be obfuscating but which objective tests demonstrate.Bridge is a 32 bit program. Photoshop can run in 64 or 32 bit mode.
If you want to open images in 32 bit PS you can change the default in file type associations of Bridge. You have to use browse and then navigate to the 32 bit version of PS and select.
Not a computer expert but if a 32 bit OS can only access 3.3 gig or RAM then I would assume the 32 bit PS would be the same. This can be a problem if one uses some of the advanced features or handles large files. -
System Preferences "Must Quit and Reopen" No "Open in 32-bit" Option to Uncheck
Everything worked fine when I had 10.7. But I still updated to 10.8 when it came out. I spent quite a while trying to figure out why I couldn't use many of the preferences in the system preferences. I kept getting the message: "To use the ____ preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen." Quitting and reopenning sends me on an infinite loop.
I've scowered the support communities and found no help. The communities kept saying I should go to the System Preferences file in Applications, go to Get Info, and uncheck a box that says "Open in 32-bit Mode." Unfortunately, I have never had that box. Today I updated to 10.8.4, hoping that this would finally get fixed. It was not.
Is there any solution I'm missing?Just got same problem.
#1. There is no Box, under Label or anywher to uncheck or check.
#2. The device I want to use does not have an update driver. What I really need if for the Box to check or uncheck which should be there according to Apple Help.
#3. I tried this, resetting the whole computer's kernal extension by using a Terminal command (although I don't like doing that). It didn't work. sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture i386
So I reset it to: sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64
But emphasize, again, I don't like doing SUDO commands in Terminal.
So...Anything else to try?
Thanks for any info that might help.
