Photoshop CS3 File File Info ( Bug & Solution )

I've faced a problem with rasterized EPS files form an Illustrator when I've tryied to add some meta data to the file info (keywords, descritpion, etc.) and I discovered that form time to time I can't paste any word to keywords and description from a clipboard using a cmd+V keystroke (I've text files with alll data required saved in separated text files) so I've tryied to restart Photoshop, turn off all software apart from Photoshop, computer restart, but it still happend from time to time.
Yesterday I did realize that the problem are with a CAPS LOOK, so if the CPAS LOOK are ON ctrl+V in Photoshop would't work. So turn off CAPS LOOK and then everything will back to normal.
Best Regards

I don’t have CS3 installed anymore and, like I said, it is not my field of expertise but being able to keyword multiple files in one go alone sounds like an advantage.

My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
We need to know exactly what you did
And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
For reference after you get things working
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi
Colour Profile: sRGB IEC61966
Multi business licence for CS3 and CS6 Design Standard/Premium/Master Collection all on PC
Please Help!

Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

Photoshop changes file info xmp metadata - unknown to public domain?

Curious if anyone has feedback or solution for the following:
My PSD file's metadata enters photoshop with "unknown" as the copyright status, and then after I save it in a new format or with a new name
, I notice that in Bridge the copyright status shows up incorrectly as "public domain." This is incorrent and should not change on
its own. I've been using Photoshop with Bridge for many years, and have never seen this...

I have a script that the user runs to input xmp data into a Customized version of the generic file info panel. it is data that is gathered from the user when the psd file is created. once the file is open in photoshop. the information is visible in the File info panel , the raw data, and as a schema addition in the advanced tab.
in CC the nodes and the children of the XMP packet have changed positions. so that the XML -this.XMP.child(0).appendChild(this.createNode())
is no longer the node that can be appended.
Where XML.child(0).elements().length(); would enable the xmlns to be added in CS6
<rdf:Description xmlns:phsa="' + this.namespace + '" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" rdf:about="" />'
it is visible in CC as namespace in a different arrangement. XML.child(0).child(0).namespaceDeclarations().toString()) and the children are XML.child(0).child(0).elements().length().toString()); There are now 7 child nodes where before there were 1.
with all shifted, the initialize of the values and the delete XMP packet wrapper and create new or the amend to the XMP packet wrapper is undefined.

Trouble saving Photoshop CS3 files to server

I've recently upgraded to Leopard v. 10.5.2, and now I'm having trouble saving any sort of file through Photoshop CS3 to my company's server. Even after opening the file from the server, when I try to save it, I get an error message saying I do not have the privileges to save the file. And I've saved the file to my desktop, and tried dragging it to the server folder, and I get a slightly different message, but with the same problem.
I can save jpegs that weren't created with Photoshop, but not vice versa. My other CS3 programs save files like normal. It's just Photoshop.
One way I've found to get around the problem is to email the file to myself, and then transfer them to the server. But this is an annoyance. Thanks for any help.

I would like to know how Adobe can make their uses download the OS X 10.5.3 update without sorting out the photoshop bug. Why should we not be able to save our files directly onto reliable servers. You would think that by now the concept of saving a file to a network disk would have been solved. Saving directly on servers worked flawlessly for me - why not now? I have never had this problem before until this OS X 10.5.3 update. This is appalling as designers save their photoshop files onto a server so that other designers may access their files. Yeah I will now work locally and transfer the files across. Last night I realised that I could not open many files that I had worked on during the weekend - I have lost hours of work and am feeling pretty devastated. How can Adobe not even warn their customers about this problem!!!! Don't fob your customers off. This is HUGE BUG - I've paid for my software so fix it!
I wonder how many designers have this problem and don't even know. Abode should be letting their customers know about this BUG before they have to find out themselves after having lost irreplaceable work.

Adobe CMM and Photoshop CS4 File Info problems

I installed the Adobe Color Management Module several days ago.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
Today when I opened the File Info dialog in Photoshop CS4,I got a blank black window. Same went for the Kuler window and other extensions under the Window menu. Other panels such as the palettes and toolbox were fine.
I went through reset prefs,reinstalled PS,and reinstalled my video driver.
Same problems.
Uninstalled the Adobe CMM and the panels returned to normal.
I don't know exactly what happened,but something this forum should know about.

Chris,I downloaded and reinstalled the CMM and the problem repeated.
File Info: blank, as well as the Kuler, and Connect extensions under the Windows menu. Additionally,any custom panels installed via Configurator also went blank.(although I had uninstalled those on my first round of troubleshooting)
Again as soon as I uninstalled the CMM,I got the File Info, Kuler, and Connect windows back.
This is on a Toshiba A205-S5843 running Vista SP1
I also tried the CMM on a Toshiba A75 (Windows XP)with a trial of CS4 Extended. There were no problems on that configuration with the CMM installed.
I don't know what it is,but thought it should be passed along.

Photoshop CS2 File Info Templates fill in all pages, not just it's own

I just purchased an Acer Laptop computer, has an AMD 64x2 Dual Core Processor, 2GB of DDR2 Ram, 160GB hard drive with Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled. I'm not sure how any of this could be of any help, though.
I've just installed Photoshop CS2, Neat image noise remover, Nik sharpener, and Huey pro calibrator on it.
This is to be a second computer to a Dell desktop, that will be used when out of town and we want to work on our images.
Today we opened Photoshop CS2 and tried to work on some Raw images. We were just going to crop them and fill in the File Info on them then save them to jpeg.
The cropping went fine. When we tried to enter file info and save the Metadata Templates we had trouble. There are 7 of 12 different pages of info that can be changed, the other 5 can't be, I think. Anyway, we were filling in the Description, IPTC Contact, ITPC Content, IPTC Image and IPTC Status pages. We saved the IPTC Contact page as a Metadata Template.
The first image went fine, but when we opened other images, and typed in the information it all changed back to the information on the first image we did when the saved Contact template was used. When we saved the IPTC template for the first image it save the information on all of the pages, not just the Contact page. When we realized this, I started playing around with it and whatever template was saved last will give you all the information typed in on all pages that was there when that template was saved. I also checked the Photoshop CS2 installed on the Dell Desk Top and it is working correctly. We have templates for Description, IPTC Contact, and IPTC Image saved on it. These will give you the information on the individual page not all.
Why would it be doing this on the Laptop and more importantly, how can I fix it?
I sure hope this makes sense and do apologize for the length of it. Thanks in advance for any help I can get. Linda

I was having a similar problem - I was saving an SVG from Illustrator, only to find that when I tried to open it or place it back in Illustrator, I got the error "This SVG is Invalid. Validate it before opening."
You can run the SVG through the W3C validator, remove all the parts causing errors using a simple text editor like Notepad, and then Illustrator should be able to open it. This is a laborious process though if you have a lot of SVGs to save.
After a discussion with Apple support, I learned that it was actually one of my graphics in the Illustrator file that was causing the issue. I had placed an SVG I received from a co-worker, changed the colors, and was trying to save it as an SVG again, but for some reason I kept getting that error, even when I tried save other icons/layers in the same document. When I deleted the two layers that were corrupt, the Save As SVG worked perfectly, no errors when opening the file.
I don't know details, but if you are getting this error, try the Flatten Transparency thing like witkacy suggests. If you're still having problems, it may be caused by an SVG you placed in your file. After a little bit of trial and error, you may be able to find the culprit. You may then have to re-create the graphic yourself (like I did). Converting it to outlines or a shape or something may work as well, but I'm not sure.
Hope this helps someone else!

Photoshop Elements file info font size

The text size in Photoshop elements is rather small. By Text I mean the font size for commands. I can live with it most of the time but when adding text to the File Info field I find it very hard to read and check spellling. Is there any way to increase font size or magnify what one sees. For example in Windows, Control Panel, Display I can adjust the display font size but that seems to have no effect in PE. Any ideas?

Yes, even if you set the UI font size to 200%, that has no effect on the font size of the Information dialog in the editor.
My suggestion is to use the Organizer to input your information. I have set the font size in Windows (not in Elements) to 125% for my 1920 x 1200 24" display.
It's comfortable to input file properties in the Information panel on the right. For the IPTC data, click on the icon with three dots to open the IPTC dialog.

Photoshop CS5 'file info' pemissions problem

I recently had to replace the had drive and reinstall Photoshop CS5. I used to be able to access the file info box and add metadata or read the camera settings. Now the file info box loads but the fields are not available. if I log out and use the guest account on my Mac it works fine so Adobe support told me it is a permissions issue that prevents the box from loading. I have no idea where to correct this.
I am running Photoshop at 32 bit so my scanner will work, but I tried it at both 32 & 64, but the file info box doesn't load regardless of this setting. I also tried unistalling & reinstalling Photoshop. I have obviously messed up a user permissions setting somewhere but I don't know where to fix it.
Here is a screen capture showing the two views. The top is logged into my usual account and bottom is on the guest account.Thanks for any suggestions!

Imageready cs2 to photoshop cs3 file conversion

hello;
when opening a Imageready file with rollovers in Photoshop CS3 you only get the "normal state"
anybody knows of an app or plugin that would convert all old rollover states in a way PS CS3 understands?
thanks
Alex

"Will there ever" is a loaded question Apple rarely comments on future product releases, and anyone that would know wouldn't be able to comment.
So it's not possible to say if future dodge & burn (or other plugins) can work without rendering a TIFF file.
As far as "multiple file formats" though -- it shouldn't really be something you need to worry about (other than the fact that the TIFF takes up some disk space). You can export to JPEG from the original or the version, and Aperture will track the files together.

Exporting from Aperture to Photoshop CS3- file format

If I have my files in raw CR2 format in Aperture 2.1 and I then go to the edit the image in photoshop CS3 will it remain in the raw CR2 format or does it convert it to a tiff file automatically?
Currently I have PS CS2 and it converts to a tiff file when I go edit in photoshop however I thought this may be beacuse PS CS2 does not support raw files from my Canon 40D, PS CS3 does though.
Incidently the same thing happens when I use the dodge and burn tool in Aperture 2, it conversts to Tiff format.

Q: Error message when printing Photoshop CS3 file

I get an error message when I try printing a CS3 photo on my Epson C86 printer, and the resulting print has the wrong colors and luminance levels.
Error Message = "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer."
Any ideas for how to work through this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Chris -
Thanks for your quick response.
Do I understand you correctly in saying that Photoshop CS3 has PostScript information that it routinely sends to a printer, and therefore I would need to have a PostScript compatible printer inorder to work with this information (and also for my ColorMunki calibration to work)?
Based upon what you said, I think my color problems are because the ColorMunki profile for my printer, paper, & ink combination are being ignored.

Photoshop CS3 Actions Batch mode bug?

I posted this in the Mac forum but received no responses after a couple of days, so I am trying it here.
Photoshop CS3 Actions seem to have a bug such that when used in Automate > Batch mode it will use the name of the first file opened in the batch session for every file processed in that session. Since that name is used in Save step, this means having to deal with the "File Already Exist" dialog for every file in the batch because it is attempting to save at the designated location with the same file name. If the continue option is chosen each time, the final result is one file with the first opened file name, but with the contents of the last processed file.
To confirm that this is a problem particular to the opening step, I have disabled all processing steps as well as the saving step by toggling them in the Actions panel. I then ran the action in batch mode on a folder containing 4 files. This resulted in 4 opened files all with the same name but different image content.
This was with the "Override 'Open' Action Commands" checked/not checked, and the "Suppress File Open Options Dialogs" checked/not checked. The problem described also occurs when using a Droplet.
By comparison, Photoshop CS exhibits the expected behavior: when an action is used in batch mode to process an entire folder of files, the name of each file is retained after opening and used after processing in the save or export step.
The above described behavior of CS3 is a change acquired along the way to the CS3 version (I do not have the CS2 version to test). But more importantly, can someone please report if the CS4 version behaves as I described for CS3, or if it has been returned to the CS behavior?

Hello Miguel,
I was going to come back to post some of my findings, one of which relates to your staement:
"- The open command created by Photoshop 6 doesn't keep the file's name, it is a much simple open command, and so it opens the file with the own file's name."
In my case I found that my CS version of the "same" action worked, while the CS3 version failed, precisely because the earlier one records less detail for the open step.
My need is to convert dozens of Quark pdf files to GIF and JPEG files for the web. What I found after several days of testing is that it is best to record the opening step in CS3 NOT using a pdf file, so that the "Open As Generic Pdf with 'Name____' " would not be coded into the opening step. Instead I recorded the whole action using a PSD file. Then I can proceed to run it in Batch mode choosing a folder of Quark pdf files as the source location with "Override 'Open' Action Commands" checked, and the "Suppress File Open Options Dialogs" checked, and it opens all the pdf files just fine in some background process, not getting stuck in the details of the file name, and proceeds to cary out the flattening, saving, and closing steps to my chosen target location and uses the finder file name of each pdf files in the source folder to save a filename.ext in the Target folder.
Contrary to what I stated in my original post, "Override 'Open' Action Commands" checked/not checked does indeed make a difference. If it is not checked, the files do open in batch mode, but the other steps are not performed. There is much more about this that I would like to know, and this may not be a general solution for all types of files that a user may wish to process in batch mode, but it works for my case. The main trick is to use as simple an opening step as possible when recording the action, and then letting Photoshop use whatever background process it requires to open a particular file type. I tested this by manually saving a pdf file to each of the twenty some odd formats available in the save as dialog to a Source folder, and then proceeded to batch process that folder with the action described above, and it worked for all except one.
So while there may not be a bug involved in this problem, there certainly is a lack of documentation about how the "improvements" in the opening step in newer versions of Photoshop affect using Actions in Batch mode.
Please comment if you can further explain any of the reported results. In particular, what is the situation in CS4?
Thanks,
Al

Photoshop CS3 Selecting top layer bug

Hi,
I think I've just found a bug in Photoshop CS3 for Mac.
When trying to select the first layer in the layers palette the selection hangs for several seconds before becoming responsive. This only happens when selecting the first layer in the layers pallette.
I'm using a MBP i5 running Snow Leopard.
I was able to reproduce this anomaly on a college's machine who is also on a MBP, running Snow Leopard but has a Core 2 Duo chip.

Sorry, I was wrong about 10.0.2.
Of couse Adobe should fix a bug such as this, especially since it's so prominent and clearly an update created the issue.
So far you assume that the update is the culprit.
I can’t reproduce the problem with Photoshop 10.0.1 on OSX 10.6.4 so it may yet be specific to the stations you have tried it on.
Adobe will hardly spend resources on an obsolete piece of software – so you should either go through the usual trouble-shooting-routines (including System maintenance and fonts validation) to see if you can amend the issue yourself or get used to it – or hope someone else can help you in some way.
But if you expect an upgrade for CS3 you will probably get disappointed.
