Photobook files changed from .pse to .psd

I have successfully made several photo books using PSE7 and printing with Kodak. I was searching for the most recent photo book and found that it is in a folder as a .psd file and not a .pse file. As a result I can only view one page at a time as an image rather than a photo book. I wanted to update the photo book with some additional information. I have all the pages in the folder but have not been successful in attempting to get it back into a .pse file.
I have been doing some folder cleanup with PSE7 ( constantly checking to insure that images are still properly connecte) to organize the My Pictures file a little better and also just recently converted to Windows 7. I don’t know if this has anything to do with my problem or not. I did check my back up external drive and thee files in question are also .psd not .pse.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks for you reply C F McBlob.
I have not setup or initiated iCloud, at least not directly. How would I know if iTunes is trying to look for files from iCloud? Also, isn't iCloud only for purchased items unless you subcribe to iTunes Match which I have not.
I just tried searching for one of the problem songs in Spotlight and it shows up in the list of found files. When I select the file it opens up iTunes and plays the song and it also shows up under it's iTunes folder along with the .url file, wasn't there before. Hmm... It's like the file exists but it is hidden from Finder or iTunes until I search for it in Spolight.
I have never seen anything like this before. I sure hope I don't have to do this for every song.
Does any of this make sense to you?

Collage, changing from pse format to psd

I can create collages, but don't know how to save them as psd or jpg files so that I can use the collages in my scrapbook software. How can I get them from the editor to iphoto or picassa or a picture file?

Should I Change from PSE 6 to Lightroom?

INTEL 4 core, WinXP Pro, 2GB RAM, dual monitors (nVidia video), NAS, External drives, CS3
I have PSE 6 which has some real limitations and am willing to move to Lightroom but I wonder if it will really address the problems I am facing.
Dual monitor support?
Multiple core processor support?

How does LR handle backups? Images?
Does LR's folder/file structure corrupt so that image files actually in a folder (per OS) are reported elsewhere?
Can a person map a network drive as a local drive and read/write?
Is there anything like the PSE timeline?
What observations would former PSE users have? Thanks

Just to start, I picked some of your questions.
>How does LR handle backups? Images?
Lightroom does backup its catalogue, but the choice is left to you. Since the catalogue is the core of your work with Lightroom (its links to your photos, your adjustments...), it does allow you to backup your catalogue each time that your start Lightroom. But you must set that up in Lightroom and obviously your catalogue backups go to a different disc from your catalogue;
>Does LR's folder/file structure corrupt so that image files actually in a folder (per OS) are reported elsewhere?
Yes is the simple answer. Once you have imported files into your Lightroom catalogue, Lightroom will remember their location. If you move them outside of Lightroom, it will flag your folder or missing photo. (I would not use the word "corrupt" though to describe Lighroom's ability to track changes to folders/files that you make outside of Lightroom; better to say that Lr does flag changes.)
>Can a person map a network drive as a local drive and read/write?
Yes for photos but not for catalgoue. See this post for the reason why you cannot have shared catalogues:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b7645d/6
>Is there anything like the PSE timeline?
You can filter your photos based on date. It is not in any way visually similar to PSE's timeline, but it does allow you to browse your photos by date.
Have you downloaded Lightroom? You should try the 30 day trial and if you have any questions, just add them here in this thread and you will get answers and opinions too!! The download link is at the top of this forum.

Export layers to files change from index color?

Hello, can someone tell me how to change it where when I run the Export files to layers script in CS4 my pngs are saved as RGB instead of index color? My original PSD that I am running the script on is RGB and it's driving me crazy that it's saving my pngs as index! Any help would be great! Thanks!

You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much!

File changes from more than one user at the same time

Hi,
two of my colleauges opened a photoshop file at the same time and both could make changes. Saving the file kills one person's changes, which actually shouldn't be possible. How can this be avoided?
Thank you

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

I would like some info on changing from PSE to Photoshop and Lightroom. Are picts transferable? What advantages are there? etc

I have used PSE forever. Would it be beneficial to switch to PS and LR? What else would I be able to do? etc

You can use the same pictures in any program.
Would it be beneficial to switch to PS and LR?
I think I will answer a question with a different question ... what is it that you want to do now that you can't do in PSE? What parts of PSE are you unhappy with?
Because really the answer to your question is that it is beneficial to some people, and a waste of money for others, and I don't know which category you are in without a lot more information from you on how you use the sofware and what new/additional features you are looking for.
As an alternative, you can download 30-day free trials of Lightroom and Photoshop and see if you like these programs, instead of relying on my judgment. If you are going to do this, please view some tutorial videos on Lightroom, do not skip this step.

Hi
If you are on IPIVR or UCCX, then you can see in the MADM logs who has carried out what changes (c:\program files\wfavvid\logs\madm).
If you have users dialing in through an application to change prompts, or through some other custom method, you should really be logging changes as they are made...

My file was changed from psd to "5 file" and won't open

Hi,
I just spent 2+ hours woking on a difficult mask, saving as I worked.
I left for dinner and closed down photoshop.
When I returned I couldn't open my file. This message appeared: could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document
The file is no longer a psd is a "5 file".
Any suggestions to what happened to my file and how can I get ps to open it?

It sounds like you have Windows set to hide the extension of common file types, which means that a photoshop file called Pix03.psd will show up in Windows Explorer and in file open/save dialogs as Pix03 with the file type Photoshop file. This is not desirable because it means you don't know what your files are actually named. It also makes it harder to fix situations like this.
I would strongly suggest that you open Windows Explorer (My Computer icon, or WindowsStart+E), then go to Tools > Folder Options > View and UNcheck "Hide extensions for known file types."
Once you've done that, you will see your file names as Pix03.psd (the ".psd" is the "extension" that you need to see). In Windows Explorer, or a File Open dialog with the criteria set to All Files (*.*), find the file you are having trouble with. It will have a .5 extension, like Pix03.5. Click on it once, wait a second, and click again. This will let you rename it. All that you need to change is the extension, so click at the end, backspace over the "5" and replace it with "psd". That should make your photoshop file openable in Photoshop again.

How can I change the default file format in PSE 10?

I just upgraded from PSE 6 to PSE 10. In the former, the default file format when saving an edited image in the editor was psd. In 10, it is jpg. I prefer to save in psd, which means I have to select psd from the format drop-down menu for each save. I've looked for a way to change the default but can't find one. Is there a way?

Ah, I see that you're right -- editing that doesn't require adding a layer defaults to saving as the original image's file type. Adding a layer causes the default "Save As" file type to switch to PSD.
I don't know of any way to change that.

Is there a PS setting where it can read my Canon Mark 3 5D's monochrome setting so that the files will also appear in monochrome instead of colour? Or do I have to change from RAW each time to Monochrome within PS (even if I have set up for Monochrome in

Is there a PS setting where it can read my Canon Mark 3 5D's monochrome setting so that the files will also appear in the same monochrome structure (instead of appearing in colour as it is now when i open in PS, not even monochrome)? Or do I have to change from RAW each time to Monochrome within PS (even if I have set up for Monochrome in my 5D)?
1. Basically I am taking photos with a monochrome setting with my 5D and the screen shows monochrome.
2. when i import this onto my computer and open with PS, it opens in colour.
3. when I change this to Monochrome in PS. (It cannot read my monochrome setting with my preference of the greyscale mix when I viewed it on my 5D)
4. my question is: is there a way so that PS can read the monochrome setting from my 5D and display the same monochrome setting as my 5D instead of a different one from PS.

you need camera raw 6.7 or better.
i don't know what version of ps you have so i can't say if it can be updated to use that, but update anyway.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

I changed from manually manage music to create more space, and lost a LOT of my music from my current Itunes library. I HAVE to have that music back! How do I go about getting the missing/lost files back on my library and IPod?

I changed from manually managing music to create more space on my IPod and lost a lot of the my music since it synched with another library. ( I think off another long gone computer!) I HAVE to get this music back! There are songs I can no longer find! How do I get this "Cannot locate file for this song" music back on my ITunes library and IPod?

External hard drive -- old file path from a previous laptop is still where to find my songs, how do I change?

My iTunes library is a mess, it is stored on an external hard drive. My old laptop died unexpectedly and I didn't have a problem resetting the file path for the library on my new laptop. The other day my son was trying to update his iPod when I wasn't home and I don't know what he did.... GRRRR Any songs I purchased on my old laptop are now not able to be found. When I click on 'get info' on a song it shows the old file path from the old laptop. Songs that I purchased since the new laptop are still playable and great. I know my songs are still there but I can't seem to get the file path to reset on the old music. HELP!!! PLEASE

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or an external drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files (not i-tunes purchases) which I just can't get into my i-tunes library. File converters don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files which I can't get into i-tunes. When the library was in Windows, i-tunes would convert the files automatically, but this doesn't happen now. I've downloaded a couple of file converters, but these don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

iTunes for Windows (but not iTunes for Mac) can import and convert unprotected WMA tracks. If the tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) then it will not accept them.
One option would be to install iTunes on your PC, do the conversion, and then transfer the converted tracks from iTunes on your PC to iTunes on your Mac.

When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%.

When placing a Illustrator file in Indesign, the Illustrator file sometime changes from 100%. When you select the placed file with the selection tool, it says 100%, but if you select with the direction tool, file has been changed any where from 98 to 102 %, not staying at the 100%? why is this and how can you asure the size does not change when placed or when updating the illustrator link?

Probably you have inserted files in a frame whose content was previously adequate with "Fit Content Proportionally" or "Fill Frame Proportionally".
The new content in the same frame will have the same characteristics as the previous one
