Photoshop CS and FINDER...

Hi Guys
Quick question:
It looks weird that when I check "Get Info" on FINDER to see a PSD file size, it tells me a much smaller file than the actual file is, when I check it on Photoshop...
Most of my 25 MB files are shown 5 MB on FINDER.... WHY???
Can't FINDER really see the size of my PSD files???
Cheers!

Hi... Question(almost)Solved!!!
A very "tricky" issue here... I realized why my personal photos were showing the correct file size while my animation frames weren't...
The mistaken file size happens when I delete the background around the main character using the WAND tool on Photoshop CS (leaving that "chessboard-like" NO background pattern)and resave the file...
As I said before, I scan a 11 x 8 1/2 inches acetate frame, it has a blue background that I select and erase it, leaving only the main character on stage to work with later on FLASH...
If I decide to save the whole frame with the blue background, both PS CS and Finder read the same file size... no matter if I resize it or change the resolution... they both read the same...
...but when I delete the background and save it... Photoshop still reads a huge file, maybe because I didn't crop the image and the stage is still 2000 x 1600 even if the character takes less than 10% of the stage. But Finder sees a MUCH smaller file size in this case...
I think that's it... now i know why and when it happens but I still can't figure out how much space is being used by the file itself...
Cheers!

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
Thanks.

I own both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop (the original editor). I find the elements editor to be too cumbersome to use and would just like to edit using Photoshop. When I try to install Photoshop as a secondary editor in elements I get an error message that I don't need to this because it is already supported on the edit menu and task bar. I can not find any way to send images to Photoshop for editing - all I can do is send them to elements editor or the premier editor. Can someone tell me how to send them to Photoshop? Thanks!

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

Is there a way to integrate Photoshop CS3 and Aperture?

Ok, here is what I want to do. I use Aperture to organize and store my RAW pictures (as well as my edited photos, I use stacks), but I like to use Adobe Camera RAW to edit my RAW photos. I want to take my RAW photo, edit it in Adobe Camera RAW, export that RAW image back to Aperture for storage so I can create a JPEG or whatever for other editing in Photoshop. Is there a way to keep a file in RAW format between the 2 applications?

I'm not sure if this will help, but I use Aperture 2.1 and CS3. I am coming from a many year user of LR and find the "round trip to CS3" much cleaner in AP. Remember you are not actually working on the RAW file in AP or LR - the RAW image is always maintained. I will do my sorting and editing in AP up to the point I need CS3 - which is becoming less and less with the new plugins and the basic power of AP. I will highlight the image, go to edit with and call up CS3. I will then go through whatever is necessary in CS3 then Save the work - NOT Save As! The image, layers, masks, etc. will be preserved and the re-worked image will appear in AP alongside the original AP image. If needed later, I double click on the CS3 image (it has a little "marker" next to the image for identification) and I am back in CS3 complete with all the CS3 work and I can pick up where I left off. In this way I can continue to PS the image as I wish without losing the past work -- Hit Save again and the reworked image will go right back into AP. The RAW image remains in its original form. If the issue is saving the PS work into the source file, you can Save AS in PS and point the image into the file. The only problem here is all the layers, etc. are flattened so you lose the ability to return to "where you left off." The only alternative I see is to use PS exclusively and Save the work pointing back to the original file. Making the point again, regardless of AP or LR's use, the program(s) are non-destructive and preserve the original RAW image. For me, the "round trip" in AP is much smoother than in LR.

First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help! I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and get on with it. I bought Photoshop Elements via Amazon some months ago and it worked fine. I then got a message that advised that the trial version would expire, which it subsequently has (I have been trawling your site for weeks and weeks trying to find an email or phone contact to get some assistance). Relucltantly, I am now typing this - and I suspect it will not help in the slightest! I bought the FULL not TRIAL edition of Photoshop Elements and I have contacted Amazon who confirmed this, but say I need to contact you. Can you please let me know how I can resolve this?

Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble. Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system. I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem. Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys E3000 Router. When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router. I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but... When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot. During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung. I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system. This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode. I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS. The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go. I was forced to terminate it from the task manager. I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have. The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows. I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP. Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers. To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system.
What I seriously need to know is this: When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64? Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them. I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software. Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions. As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it. Any recommendations?

Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7. But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now. This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download. I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers. I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect. I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own. One is operational and one is dead. I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

Photoshop CC and RAW

Yesterday I had the experience that opening files into RAW (after updating my Photoshop CC to version 14.....) and improving the content of my photos, I could not open these files directly into Photoshop CC version 14...
I vave to save my photos in Adobe RAW first into TIFF and afterwards I can import/open those files into Photoshop CC.
Today I have read that probebly there is a problem between the version of RAW (8.5 ??) and the importprocedure of PHOTOSHOP with has been updated to version 14.....
Because I cannot have a normal discussion with Adobe in the Netherlands, only by an English speaking person who is not to understand (from Ireland? from Pakistan? from India??),
I have tried tot open a discussion in the Adobe Forum.
Awefull that your service is not a normal one, talking in Dutch in Holland on a normal way and find a solution.
Now I have to wait for an update in the near (????) future or months later.
With kind regards,
Plomp G.W.
Private User of Photoshop CC since March 4th 2014.
A legal subscription !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have an account with Email [email protected]

In the meantime I’ve found the solution.
The startup icon was connected with Photoshop CC and not with Photoshop 2014 !!!!
Sorry, it’s OK now.
Thanks a lot.
With kind regards,

CameraRaw is not updated in Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014. Active version is still 8.3, although 8.5 is available. AAM and CC App say everything up-to.date.

On my Windows 7 (x64) PC I have Photoshop CC and since this morning Photoshop CC 2014. If I open a RAW or DNG file in either of them, CameraRaw version 8.3 opens. When I search for updates via Help -> Updates, no updates are found. Creative Cloud App shows no updates as well (everything up-to-date).
For Photoshop CS6 (installed in parallel, local license, no cloud version) I got an update to CameraRaw 8.5 today. And it works in this old version.
Tried already to download manual update from Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date. However, Installer fails with "Update failed.Updates couldn't be installed".
How can I make CameraRaw 8.5 available for CC / CC 2014 as well ?

Solved ! Found another post in this forum that gave me some useful hints. You have to download Camera Raw 8.5 manually.
Download link for Camera Raw 8.5.0.236 for Windows is http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw8-8.0/8.5.50/setup.zip
The Installer didn't work, so I only unzipped the file. You can find the Camera Raw plugins in the sub-directories:
32-bit version:
- > payloads/AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-050614141453/Assets1_1.zip
extract file "1003" and rename it to "Camera Raw.8bi"
copy it to c:/Program Files (x86)/Common/Adobe/Plug-ins/CC/File Formats/CameraRaw.8bi (previous CameraRaw is overwritten, you should copy old version to a save place first)
64-bit version:
- > payloads/AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-x64-050614143245/Assets1_1.zip
extract file "1002" and rename it to "Camera Raw.8bi"
copy it to c:/Program Files/Common/Adobe/Plug-ins/CC/File Formats/CameraRaw.8bi (previous CameraRaw is overwritten, you should copy old version to a save place first)
Start Photoshop CC and open a RAW file to be sure it's ok now.
