Opening RAW images more than once

I have run into an inconsistency between how Elements works on different computers.  Even when students are using the same version, this is what I have encountered.
I want to create 3 versions of the same RAW file in order to vary the exposure and then use Photomerge Exposure to blend the images.  I can open the first version and then go to Open Recent and open the same RAW file again.  I then reset the default and make a different adjustment and open that image in Elements.  a number "2" is automatically added to the filename.  When I do another Open Recent and process that version, that image opens in Elements with a number "3" added to the filename.
Many students in my class can't do this unless they save the first version with a new filename.
Why might this occur?

I can't say anything about Macs but I presume you would have noticed if the difference was due to the difference of OS...
When you have the 'include in Organizer' unchecked, you do your first edits in the ACR dialog and click 'Open' to get the conversion into the editor. The image title shows the file name of the raw file, but you are working on a psd format file which has not yet been saved to disk. It's only in ram memory with the default filename ready to be used if you click 'save' : that default filename is the same as the original raw name but simply with the .psd extension. You can change the default file name before clicking 'save' or 'save as' or you can accept it. Now, you can either go back to editing or close the raw file and re-open it. There is no difference. After your second edits, if you try 'save' you will be prompted the same default psd file name. But then the file name has already been attributed and you will get a warning message to change the name or overwrite the file.
If you try to use the 'include in Organizer', you'll see the difference : you won't be prompted to overwrite but a new suffix with -1 or -2... will be prompted automatically and the files will be added to a version set, which is the best way to keep the link between the original raw and the various 'versions' of edits.
By the way, that's one of the big advantages of the Organizer when you shoot raw : ability to see thumbnails of your raw files to rate and tag, ability to use all edit features of ACR and clicking 'Done' without creating intermediate psd or jpegs, only small xmp files saved automatically and used by the Organizer to show the files or print them... Plus if you are tagging and rating  your raw files, that information is kept in every version in the version set.
You never worry about the xmp files when moving, deleting or renaming files from the catalog manager -- You never worry about them for backups.

  • Does Muse optimize the original file because my images in a slideshow resize after I have used the image more than once.

    iif I import a photo into my website and make it a small size then when I create a slideshow and add that photo from my computer it comes in too small every time. It's as though Muze is optimizing the original photo and that is very frustrating. I have to open that photo in Photoshop and save it again to fix it. Very annoying. Will this be fixed?

    Muse does not touch the original image, but it does maintain an optimized copy of the original. You can verify by locking the original image file to prevent Muse from touching it.
    Muse performs the optimization at export/publish time based on the largest instance of the image in the project. In this case, when you re-import the image, Muse is incorrectly assuming you want the new image at the same size as the first instance that you resized smaller. We'll look at fixing this behavior in the next release, but in the mean time there is a workaround.
    Instead of opening the image in Photoshop and re-saving, which changes the modification date of the image and signals Muse to re-import the image, try double-clicking until the image is selected. The selection handles will be smaller and solid if you have the image selected. The handles will be larger and hollow if a container is selected. Then resize the image to the dimensions you want. Initially, the image will be pixelated because Muse is still using the previously optimized copy. However, if you choose File->Preview Page in Browser, the image will be re-optimized for the new dimensions and you should see a higher resolution version in both the browser and on your page within Muse.
    You can more easily verify the optimization behavior as follows:
    1. Place an image at 25% of its original size.
    2. Select File->Preview Page in Browser, which will optimize the image at the 25% size.
    3. Duplicate the placed image and resize the duplicate to be twice as big (i.e. 50% of the original). Initially, this duplicate will be blurry after the resize.
    4. Select File->Preview Page in Browser, which will re-optimize the image and redraw at the higher resolution.

  • Can I crop an image more than once

    Once I commit to a crop in Expert can I crop it again?

    If you mean you can crop the already cropped file, yes.
    If you mean you can try another different crop from the original picture, no.
    In an editing session you can use the history panel to get back to the editing state before the first crop.
    If you choose to 'open in ACR' (automatic if you shoot raw), the ACR edits are 'non destructive', you can always change the crop settings even after you have applied many adjustments with the various sliders.

  • Can't open Elements 8 more than once without shutting down the computer

    After starting up my computer, I can open Elements 8 (organizer and/or editor) and work as usual.  However, if I close the program, then check email or work on something else, and then I decide to open Elements again, I get the opening screen, click Organizer, and it just disappears.  When I shut down the computer, it says there are programs waiting to close, but it shuts down quickly despite that.  Once I have restarted, all is normal again, until I decide to open Elements twice.
    I have Windows 7 professional.
    Do I need to reinstall Elements 8?
    Cam

    It sounds like the Organizer and Editor aren't closing all the way, which makes it so you can't re-open them.
    To know for sure if this is the case, after you close either program, open Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC), go the Processes tab, click the option at the bottom to show processes from all users, and then scan the list for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and/or PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe.
    If there, then that means they aren't getting closed.
    As a temporary workaround until you find out why they won't close, you can end the process in Task Manager instead of rebooting the computer.
    As for the cause, it is possible that something else you have running in the background, perhaps security software, is causing the issue. To determine if that's the case, restart the computer without any startup items or non-essential services, and then run Elements 8. Here are some instructions:
    Windows 7/Vista: http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb404913_en-us
    Windows XP: http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb404984_en-us
    If you can close and re-open the Editor/Organizer properly without anything else running, then something was preventing the program from closing properly. Use a process of elimination to determine what; something similar to this method:
    Open the System Configuration utility.
    Re-enable approximately half of the items that were disabled.
    Click OK, and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
    Check if you can close and re-open the Editor/Organizer.
    If you can't anymore, open the System Configuration utility and disable half of the most recently enabled items.
    If you can still, open the System Configuration utility and re-enable half of the remaining items.
    Go back to Step 3, and continue dividing the items into halves until  you have determined which startup item or service is causing the issue.
    Once you have isolated the problematic startup item or service,  contact its manufacturer for an update or configuration information, or  leave it disabled.

  • Reprocess RAW's more than once

    Some pictures I loaded to Aperture in 3.0 and 3.01 get a "Processes in an older version to RAW" note and it seems some I go back to say this when they were fine the last time. Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it a bug specific to my system?
    Mark

    I got this message with some of my LX3 raw files. These files were imported into 3.0.1, never in any older version of Aperture. Got this message several times, pressed Reprocess whenever this message showed up. Suddenly the message seems not to appear anymore.
    Upgrade path of my Aperture has been 2.1.4 -> 3.0.0 trial -> bought 3.0.0 -> 3.0.1
    Still got my 2.1.4 in a separate folder on my HD. I used to use this next to my 3.0.0 trial version, later not anymore.

  • Is it possible to open a form created with screen painter more than once?

    I have created a form with the screen painter. In the screen painter the form is assigned a FormUID. Probably because this is done, it is impossible to open the form more than once??
    Thanks,
    Kind regards

    Hi J.
    The answer is yes You just have to give your form a unique id.
    1) Give your form in screen painter a name like BTWO_DYNAMIC_UID (just plain text).
    2) Make sure your <i>FormType</i> and <i>appformnumber</i> have a unique number (i.e. 2000060001). You can do this in the xml source.
    3) By loading your document replace the BTWO_DYNAMIC_UID with an unique id. I have a counter that's a member of my class and increase that number to get a unique id (BTWO_F_1, BTWO_F_2 etc)
    I have added a code sample, SBOApplication is my SAP application object and mFormNumber is a member (integer) of my class.
    <i>Succes d'r mee, en als 't nie lukt hoor ik het wel... ;)</i>
    <b>Code (C#):</b>
    // New xml document
    XmlDocument oXmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
    private Form LoadUniqueForm(string AMyFile)
      // Define your path to
      sPath = @"Forms" + AMyFile;
      // Load the form
      oXmlDoc.Load(sPath);
      // Replace the string with an unique id
      mFormNumber++;
      string sXML = oXmlDoc.InnerXml.Replace("BTWO_DYNAMIC_UID", "BTWO_F_" + mFormNumber.ToString());
      // load the XML file in SAP
      SBOApplication.LoadBatchActions(ref sXML);
      // Return the form
      return SBOApplication.Forms.Item("BTWO_F_" + mFormNumber.ToString());

  • Button/click box click more than once

    Hi, I'm hoping you guys can point out what I'm doing wrong...
    I have an image where the user can click on certain parts of
    it to display a callout. However, I want them to be able to click
    on the area of the image more than once if requried. I suppose you
    can say it's a bit like an image map.
    First I used click boxes to achieve this, then I tried using
    transparent buttons. However for both of these methods you can only
    click on each part once during playback. Clicking again does not
    show the callout.
    I thought about copying the contents to another slide and add
    a 'Reset' button the user could click on. This would move to the
    other slide, but this seems a bit on the 'clunky' side, so I
    thought there must be a setting or something really obvious that I
    have missed. I was unable to find the relevant informaiton in the
    help file or elsewhere in the forum, so if it does exist I would
    appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.
    How can I allow the user to click on parts of the image more
    than once to show the callout?
    Thanks for your help,
    Liz

    Thanks for your reply Rick.
    I started the activity using rollovers, but I wanted the user
    to do something more definite than just hovering over each part of
    the image. So essentially, I want the rollover functionality but
    with the ability to click instead of just hovering the cursor over.
    I thought this would be easy!
    I've tried using both buttons and click boxes without any
    success. I ventured a little into slidelets, but I want the callout
    to appear in a very specific place and this did not appear to
    satisfy my requirements. The 'click to stick' sounds intriguing so
    I'll take a look into this, but I'm not convinced it's what I want.
    Any more suggestions are most welcome.
    Regards
    Liz

  • How to retrict user cannot open the same form more than once (Forms 6i)

    Our users always open the same forms more than once. For example the customer form, the user may access a customer record in the first form, however, he will open a new customer form to edit the same record, the result is he cannot save the record because the record is locked in the first customer form.
    How can I control the user cannot open the same form more than 1 time.
    Best Regards,
    Kane

    The customer form is only an example, I found there will cause a lot of problems is I cannot control the user from calling 1 program more than 1 than within application. Sometimes a user (not good in using computer) will overlap the form for many times.....
    Is there any simple way to do that?...can I have some PL/SQL statement or build-in functions that let me easily found our what forms the user has already opened, then I can control whether I let him open this form or not.
    Urgent...please
    Thanks

  • How do I open RAW images from T1-XMG CR2?  Adobe DNG converter will not recognize these files.   HELP?

    How do I open RAW images with T1-XMG CR2? I have adobe DNG converter but it will not recognize these images.  I have had no problem with converting other images.  and ACR will not recognize them either.  Help!@

    The screenshot did come through once I added the period between dropbox and com, making URL:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7q829t2n3uuuqg/screenshot%202014-07-01%2012.36.28.png
    The screenshot shows the first raw file is named T1-XMG_3306.CR2 which probably corresponds to a normal raw filename of IMG_3306.CR2.  It is not clear where this name came from.  I guess it is possible that you’ve entered in a renaming template in LR’s Import panel that replaces the initial I or _ with T1-XM and so the files are renamed. 
    What I have asked for is not a screenshot of your filenames, but one of the CR2 files, itself, which you can upload to dropbox and post a link to.  You should use copy/paste to get the link into a message, rather than typing it in, if at all possible.
    This is because it was my understanding that these oddly-named CR2 files don’t work, and I wanted to look more closely at them to see if they were recognizable as some other type of file.
    Do you have a raw file named IMG_3306.CR2 that these files correspond to?

  • Why would aperture load more than once?

    I understand that when I first load my RAW photos into Aperture it needs to generate a preview and so that's why it slows down and shows me "loading...". If I want to bypass this I can use quick preview mode. That's how I understood it so far. But I don't understand why it would need to load again at a later time? If I browse elsewhere and come back to this project, it'll start loading again. Does Aperture for some reason deletes the preview?

    1) How do I force aperture to generate preview for everything, and not one by one. I'd rather go away and let the computer do its thing for a while than get disturbed every time I hop to the next photo.
    You can select all images in the Browser and use the command "Photos > Update/Generate Previews" (Update will turn into "Generate", if hold down the ⌥ alt/options key). This way you can generate the previews over night.
    2) Also this still doesn't explain why it needs to be done more than once? Why would it generate the preview again if I haven't changed any adjustments etc?
    It will only keep and store the preview permanently, if you have enabled the sharing of previews in the "Preferences > Preview" tab. If you do not enable this, Aperture will not store the previews, to save space.

  • Issue opening RAW images in Yosemite

    I am no longer able to open RAW images in Yosemite. Same images I was able to open before the upgrade. Does not work in Aperture or Photoshop any more. What's up?

    Unfortunately you can't see the raw converter in PSE 9 on screens less than 800 px tall, which means not on netbooks. PSE will automatically convert it for you, but that dialog box and a few others, like the Advanced Downloader window, will not appear.

  • Opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

    When opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9 (File -> Open or File -> Open As), the Adobe Camera Raw dialog do not open.

  • Can you create a form in which its never possible for the same person te sign the form more than once.

    Hi, I've been looking into this for awhile and believe the answer is 'no' but was just wondering if anyone here would know of a solution.
    The company I work for has a formulier on which a number of Excel files are placed. This form is then sent to a five (often different) people who are then required to open the Excel files and if accord to place their digital signature. We would like to make sure that no one is able to sign the form more than once and also if possible to make sure they have opened the Excel files. It would be great if anyone had any tips...
    All the very best,
    Martin Angell

    I am not an Excel or Excel-to-PDF conversion expert, so I do not know how Excel forms are converted to PDF form fields. With this caveat here's what I do know.
    In Acrobat It is possible to create a PDF form in which there are JavaScripts associated with fields (any fields, including signature fields). These JavaSripts can do a lot of things, including checking the signer's certificates on the already signed signature fields. Then you can make all unsigned signature fields read-only, in which case the user will not be able to actually sign them. After that you can overlay a button field on top of each unsigned signature field with exactly the same dimensions and associate a JavaAcript with this button field. This JavaScript would put up an UI asking the user for the signing certificate and its password, check this certificate's CN against the list of already signed signature fields and initiate the signing of the unsigned signature field behind this button if your condition is satisfied.
    I never tried that myself but it could work. This looks complicated and it is but if you really want it you can try.

  • QuickTime DOM Events called more than once?

  • After using PS CS6 for well over a year, Bridge now will not open RAW images in Camera Raw, although

    After using PS CS6 for well over a year, Bridge now will not open RAW images in Camera Raw, although Photoshop does. When I try to open them in Bridge, I receive a popup message that says that it "requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature." Obviously, I have done so hundreds of times since installing and activating CS6. What gives, and how do I fix it?

    Things have now become significantly worse!
    Now when I try to open anything from Bridge, or try to open PhotoShop at all, I receive a popup that gives me 2 options: 1) License PS CC, or 2) continue with my trial of PS CC.
    So far as I know, I have not downloaded any trial of anything from Adobe in many months. In fact, I have no interest in PS CC. I wish simply to use PS CS6.
    I have uninstalled my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard, of which my PS CS is a part, and reinstalled it but I still am blocked from using my properly licensed programs.
    Please advise.
