.PAT Files using Edit/Preset Manager/ Patterns

I have PSE7. I recently downloaded a .Pat File that doesn't come up in the Pattern Stamp but it does by going to Edit/Preset Manager/ Patterns. How do I use this? When trying to use Save as and Load as option I keep getting the same patterns and it's like a never ending circle. What am I doing wrong?

It would duplicate the patterns if the file you load has the already existing patterns in you window.
Just try to load the attached file and see if you get a new pattern.
You can define you own pattern from Edit->Define Patterns (if you dont have a .PAT file)
Then from Edit/Preset Manager/ Patterns you can choose the patterns you want to keep in you pattern set and then save the pattern set to your desired location.

Import multiple files using sql server management studio

Using sql server management studio I want to do 2 things.
- Import all txt files from a directory as tables into my DB.
- Add an additional field to each new table which contains the table name.
Can anyone help me?

There are couple of ways to do it:
File naming conventions : YourFileName_SystemId.txt
You can create one extra column in table or may be name a table with system id. Then after loading the data you can update that column with the system id.
components required:
ForEachLoopContainer - To get file and store file name in a variable
Expression Task (if SSIS 2012 or above) or variable expression or script task to seperate file name from systemId
Data Flow Task - to load data
Execute SQL Task - to update last column or specific table based on precedence constraints
Note: You can also add extra column in data flow via
derived column transformation.
Ex.:
Load file via foreach loop
Split string via seprator
2: Loading different system file in different folder
you can have predefined folder structure ex: SystemId1, SyetemId2 etc and can download respective txt file in their system folder. Then you can easily identity which file belong to which system and then load it to the respective table.
3: Use first row of text file to hold the system value
Use first row to have the system id and then skip row while fetching data.
Note: Then you have to read first row through script task to get the system id.
hope this will help

How to manage a data file using Business Contact Manager database tool

I set up BCM on my desktop and now want to share with the rest of the office. I downloaded BCM database tool on the C drive
of the server and all was well until I tried to move through the wizard. The only option that gets me to a data file is creating a database. However, I receive the error message "Cannot create a new database. The operation has been rolled back. Please
make sure the database service is running". How can I make this work? Truthfully, I don't want to create a new database - I have already set one up; Restore only gives me the database server instance but no choices for the database name list. I have installed
BCM on another co-workers desktop and allowed the database to be shared with her. What more am I missing? Why can't I get the server to see the data file?

Hi,
If the Database has not been shared, you can't connect to it.
Please also confirm you have been granted permission to access the shared Business Contact Manager database.
You can refer to this article below and there are some factors that you should consider:
Business Contact Manager cannot connect to the shared database
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/business-contact-manager-cannot-connect-to-the-shared-database-HA010262548.aspx

Hey kempyau,
To clarify your issue, are you looking to take the csv file of 3100 contacts and synchronize it with your BlackBerry?
You can import the contacts in Mac Address Book and then use BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize the contacts.

Mozilla firefox get hang , when i click on a link to download a file using Interenet Download manager. any solution??

When i click on any link to download a file ( software, document etc.) using idm , the firefox get hang for sometime till the download dialogue box don't come. any solution to this problem.??

Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].

Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

Can't view abr brush files in Preset Manager

My problem in Photoshop CS5 is that I can't see the .abr files using the Preset Manager.
Specifically, the Load dialog for brushes shows the Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets/Brushes folder as empty...
...even though Windows Explorer displays both the default brushes and the many brushes I just purchased.

I was under the impression that brushes will only show under preset manager if they were manually loaded into photoshop by selecting Brush then Load Brushes and then selecting the abr file you wanted. I always save my extra brushes/styles/actions etc under seperate folders away from Photoshop as you can easily direct the Load Brushes etc to where you have them saved and then load from there easily. And as I have many of these extras, keeping them seperate from Photoshop saves load up time when starting Photoshop. Hope this helps

How do I create a brand new .pat file?

I am attempting to create a set of patterns to share online, and I cannot figure out how to create a truly custom .pat file. I fully understand how to define a pattern in photoshop, however, the only way I've ever known about accessing and permanently saving the patterns I've created is by going to a layer I want to add a pattern too, adding a layer style, and then when I go to patterns overlay in the layer style dialog box, the new pattern I've created is in the pattern picker at the end of the list of swatches of whatever .pat file I already have open for that layer.
What I want to do is create a set of patterns in one .pat file that contains only the patterns I want. I know it's possible since I have downloaded .pat files like this many times before. Can anyone help me?

PSE 7: Preset Manager Grayed Out

Hi,
Any reason why the preset manager in PSE7 is grayed out? The attachment will show it better than me explaining it. It works fine in PSE 4.

Terri_F Wrote:
Have you tried resetting your preferences yet? Installing the application again will not fix corrupt preferences so go ahead and do this if you haven't. Did the preset manager ever function? If it didn't, it's most likely a fouled installation. If I see anything on the subject, I'll post back...
Hi Terri,
I reset the preferences and still have the issue. Since there were other things happening with this install, I decided to uninstall and reinstall PSE7. Unfortunately that did not solve the issue. There are two ways to get to the Present manager, while in a tool, lets say Paint Buc_ket Tool, click on pattern, then the drop down, then ">>". This method does not have all the choices highlighted, explained in my first thread. The other method is go to menu, click on EDIT>PRESET MANAGER, this does work, but not sure if it is working 100% like it should.
Go to Preset Type > Brushes, then click on the more button. Do you see a list of brushes to load. I don't, and wonder if that is normal. I am comparing this with the Preset Type > Gradients, click on the more button, and there is a list of sets to choose from.

How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it. i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this. have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off? i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

Which version of photoshop are you using?
After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.

How do I access my CC files using Lightroom 5 so that I can edit photos from desktop or laptop

Very frustrated. I am not sure if this is a question about 'syncing' (since it's apparently not available to everyone - though this wasn't mentioned when they sold me on their subscription), about 'work flow' (what ever that means), 'catalogs', 'libraries', 'collections', 'folders", 'importing' or 'exporting'.
All I want to do it to be able to move from my desktop in one room to my laptop in another (or on the road) and be able to open up and edit the same group of photos that I managed earlier to upload into files on the <files> section of the CC panel. I watched a vdeo about 'syncing' using CC for Photoshop but I think this is for presets. Which begs the question, can you do the same for lightroom 5 presets?
In looking at my screen with the CC panel on it and clicking on <Files> so that I am sure I am typing about the correct features, I now see that the 3 file folders of photos I dragged and dropped into it earlier today is now missing my files and is displaying a message that says "Coming Soon: Creative Cloud will sync files between the cloud and your desktop". Where did my files go?
Now I am even more frustrated.
My questions are now:
1) How do I access the cloud, where my files should be, when using only Lightroom?
2) Do I have to import photos into Lightroom on one of my 2 computers first, then transfer them to the cloud, before I can also access them on the other machine?
I am not sure if this information matters, but I switch between a desktop and a laptop throughout the week. Both are Windows. I also use an external harddrive to store my photos on. It would be nice if I didn't have to unplug the damn thing and carry it with me from location to location.
Thanks in advance.

So, in short, is there a simple way , without opening iphoto, to do a logical path such as HD, pictures, iphoto, iphoto library and then BAM! just see all my files?
In short - no.
If you are using iPhoto to manage your photos for you, use iPhoto to retrieve them.
There are many user-friendy ways to access photos in iPhoto, but if you simply want a set of nested folders with photos, don't import your photos to iPhoto.

Trying to load patterns, .pat files not showing

I am trying to load patterns, and when I click on Load Patterns..., none of my .pat files are showing. I only have one showing right now, and that is only because i did the following: I clicked the "Reset to Default" button, which brought up the default patterns. Once that was loaded, I reset that as the default and now that is the only .pat file that shows. If I go to the preset folder in CS5, I can see the list of .pat files, yet they won't show up when I try to load a new pattern folder.
Any help is appreciated. Just to show what I'm seeing, here is what I see trying to load a pattern from the presets/Patterns folder in CS5:
And here is that same folder opened in explorer:
thanks!

Yes, I've sort of found a solution. While they didn't show up in the folder, they DID show up in the flyout at the bottom. I could open a .pat (and this same thing happened with my brushes btw) at the bottom of the flyout menu, then once the brushes were opened, I could save the set of patterns/brushes as a new set, and after doing that, they show up when i try to load new brushes/patterns/etc.
Not sure if this is how things work normally, but I've been using photoshop for many years and don't remember that ever happening before. This is the first time I've tried to load patterns/brushes on this computer, so maybe it's a first time use thing.

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

How to apply special right to the PDF file using the LiveCycle Rights Management Server.?

How to apply special right to the PDF file using the LiveCycle Rights Management Server.?
I want to edit bar code field data using Adobe Reader. Bar Code field was designed and data was changing using Acrobat X1 Professional (Trial Version). But can't do so in adobe reader.

I think that product has nothing to do with it. You would use LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

Re Editing Media Manager Files

I worked on a project a few years back and now need to go back in to my files and re edit something... is it possible to re edit something using my media manager files? I've been able to re import the MM files but whenever I touch the footage or try and do anything FC freezes. Thanks!

Todd, is this an old project with archived media or a new project with archived media? what codec(s) are the clips and what codec is the current sequence set for? you are now working on a G5/InteMac ( ? ) with FCP 5.1.2 (5.2 never existed) ... what hardware/software version were you using when the files were archived? how complex is your sequence, how many sequences do you have open and how much RAM do you have? sorry but we'll only figure out the problem with the copious application of pertinent details.
Cheers
Andy
