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!

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.

CS5 Generic File Info Memory Problem

We have been using a very large custom generic panel in CS4 File Info. The MRU file has grown to 2.5 mb, the properties are 1.5 mb -- but they have been working great in CS4. In CS5 they frequently do not work . The panel will either be empty when you open it, although there are xmp values in file, or after entering data, the panel will spin for a while, show empty again, often after trying to process the MRU's.
Are panels in CS5 products OK to be used for this large of a metadata set of attributes and values?
Using latest Macs, 4GB of ram, happens in all CS5 apps.
Thanks for your help.

Todd,
I understand your requirement. Controlled vocabularies can be a
critical component of a metadata strategy.
I know people that use a semicolon delimited file to pre-load the CS3
File Info MRU of a bag or seq field via a single copy and paste. Its
limit appears to be fifteen entries. Like you they are simulating a
controlled vocabulary for a list.
Pound Hill's MetaGrove Plug-in provides controlled vocabularies for
lists (bag and seq). These are displayed as a table of one column,
popup at the top, open or closed choice.
The largest single (internal) MetaGrove vocabulary I have implemented
has 4004 entries in one language, 1 mb in size. PHS's format is more
verbose than Adobe's MRU or File Info panel formats. It takes 20
seconds to initialize.
MetaGrove vocabularies can optionally be external text files, with tab
delimited value/label pairs, local or on the network. These are single
language, by definition. This is intended for an enterprise where the
external vocabulary file is typically updated monthly or quarterly.
The plug-in will automatically cache the update within a week
(default). The vocabulary can be maintained using a spreadsheet or
output from an application like yours.
Regarding your test with repeated red, green blue, for 100,000 entries:
In File Info v0 and v1 (CS through CS3), "All names and keyphrases
(values) in the list must be unique." This constraint is not mentioned
in the v2/3 File Info document. Does repeated red, green blue work
with 9 entries or so?
Most CS3 applications have odd behaviors with more than 99 entries in
a File Info popup. This appears to be fixed in Acrobat 10. I haven't
attempted more than 200 entries in a CS3 panel popup.
I suspect that building a in-memory copy of a vocabulary from a panel
file, or from the MRU file, is a serial process and does not scale
linearly. Each incremental entry takes longer to add to the in-memory
representation because the entire in-memory copy must be scanned each
time. The design goals of tens to entries probably did not warrant
using database techniques for the internal representation. The
performance in CS4 is your benchmark.
CS4 and 5 File Info appears to be doing some central caching.
Sometimes, I need to remove the panel entirely, Exit all File Info
applications, run an application and its File Info, Exit and then add
the panel in again to get changes to take. You probably need to get
everyone-out-of-the-pool before you touch the MRU file.
The CS3 copy and paste technique mentioned above might be an
alternative to let FIle Info manage the MRU. However, in your case, it
will test the implementation limits of the menu field payload capacity.

File Info Dialog problem

Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just missing a setting someplace.
Problem: I write a lengthy caption in the "Description" window of the File Info dialog. Later on I want to use that same caption on a different image.
Using CS3 on Windows I can click on the flyout arrow next to the "Description" window and input the entire caption.
Using CS3 on Mac, the flyout will only input sections of the caption. It seems like the Mac version breaks the caption apart based on any punctuation that is in the caption.
Ex. If my caption is "01 July 2008, Los Angeles, California, USA - Paul has issues with Photoshop, causing a problem when captioning files."
Windows puts the entire caption in the field. Mac breaks it down like this:
01 July 2008
Los Angeles
California
USA
Paul has issues with Photoshop
causing a problem when captioning files
I don't recall this being an issue with PS7 or CS1. Am I missing something or is this just the way CS3 works?
Thanks in advance for any help!
-Paul

I narrowed down the issue even more. Non-English languages have their strings, tags, and texts stored in a file named strings.txt in a language-specific subdirectory in the Resources directory in the Adobe Bridge CS6 program folder. The strings.txt file includes, among many other things, a language-specific decimal separator character—which in English is a dot but in many non-English languages is a comma.
When I replace the comma as the decimal separator in the German-language strings.txt file by a dot then all of sudden the f-stops are displayed correctly in the thumbnail pane ... well, except that e. g. "f/2,8" now gets displayed as "f/2.8" which in German is wrong but acceptable—and definitely much better than "f/2,0" which is unacceptably wrong when the actual value is 2.8.
The idea to try this dawned on me when I noticed that in some places in the metadata pane, decimal numbers are displayed with a comma (respecting the decimal separator character given in strings.txt); in other places, they're displayed with a decimal point (ignoring strings.txt). Those using a dot are correct; those using a comma are wrong. So there's two bugs in Bridge rather than just one. First bug: In some places, the language-specific decimal separator character is ignored. Second bug: When it is not ignored then the number displayed will be wrong.
So my workaround now is to use a dot as the decimal separator character rather than a comma.

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!

Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac install problem.

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop CS 5 for Mac and installed it on December 17, 2013. Last week I updated to a new harddrive. I am trying to re-install Photoshop and the disc asks all the usual questions: serial number, Adobe ID, Adobe Password, then the disk kicks out and says done. I open the applications folder and the Adobe Photoshop folder only has one file with 30 KB. Obviously, Photoshop will not open.

I was concerned that Adobe Photoshop CS6 would require me to update my computer to Mac OS 10.8. I updated from Mac OS 10.6.8 to 10.7.5 and lost my old InDesign and my old Photoshop. I purchased InDesign CS6. I read online that Photoshop CS6 was having problems with Mac OS 10.7.5 so I went with Photoshop CS5. I went to Best Buy and Simply Mac to try and purchase the program. They both told me to just go online and buy it. Nobody said go directly to Adobe. The problem is that I am just a homeowner that is not in the know about all these products. My wife is a school teacher and I could have purchased an education version. I thought, no I will just go ahead and purchase the full retail version.
The problem with Adobe is they think everyone is a computer geek and knows all about operating systems and programs. I am just a normal homeowner that is being taken advantage of by Adobe. Adobe manufactured and sold this product to a retail dealer. The product I purchased has never been licensed and I paid full retail for it. Now Adobe will not stand behind it!

LR 3.6 Export to Photoshop CS5 - Images have massive problems.

Windows 7 x64
Lightroom 3.6
Photoshop CS5
When I use the Export to Photoshop feature (or if I export to PSD or export to TIFF and then open in Photoshop), the images look like this:
When the original in Lighroom looks like this:
If I zoom in to 100% the weird artifacting/tearing goes away, but if I zoom out any more than 66%, it gets these weird malformations on the image. I cannot figure out why. It's not the image size since I've worked with 100+ meg PSD files in Photoshop before without this issue. If I export to JPG from LR and then open in Photoshop, it's fine. It just happens with TIFF or PSD. Driving me nuts.
Anybody have any idea why?
Thank you all so much.
Patrick

That's a typical video card driver problem affecting Photoshop. Update the driver from the manufacturer's site (NVidia or ATI).

CS5 File Info Panel Memory Management

We created, and have been using, a very large custom generic panel in CS4 File Info. The MRU file has grown to 2.5 mb, the properties are 1.5 mb -- but they have been working great in CS4. In CS5 they only work once in a while. With thousands of keyword in the MRU, or values in an XMP_Choice property pull-down, CS5 has memory problems. The panel will either be empty the first time you open it, although there are xmp values in file, or the panel will just close after trying to process the MRU's.
Are panels in CS products no longer intended to be used for this large of a metadata set of attributes and values?
Thanks for your help.

That's a much more technical question than could be expected to be answered here.

Issue during install of Photoshop CS5 - files do not completely extract.

"A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder" - trying to install Photoshop CS5 after hard drive crashed. New install of Windows 7 64bit. Downloaded install files and get this message part way through the extraction.

are you installing on a partition less than 1tb in size? if not, partition your hd so you can install on a less than 1tb sized partition.

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 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.

Strange error message when saving Photoshop CS5 files

Once in awhile, and only with some files, I get the following pop-up message when I save an image that I've been editing in Photoshop CS5:
"The disk copy of <filename> was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save it anyway?"
Unless I'm missing something, this is the most idiotic message I've ever seen. OF COURSE I want to save it. And why? Because the file has changed.
Can anyone tell me why this message pops up and whether I need to do anything about it?
Thanks!

The details shouldn't really matter. But OK: I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a 2010 iMac 3.06GHz i3 with 8GB of RAM and OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 installed. I save my files the old-fashioned way: Command-S.
I've been using Photoshop since version 1.0 and have never seen this message before. An explanation would be appreciated.

Photoshop CS5 & Epson Stylus 3800 problem (Mac)

I am experiencing a frustrating problem with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer with a Mac.
Trying to print on H-M paper, using the appropriate settings (see below), I find that under "Print Settings" on the printer driver, all the "Fine Art paper" choices are greyed out.
Also, which may or may not be relevant, no matter what presets are selected, the parameters remain the same (i.e., it does not appear to be responding to a change of presets).
I am running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. I have loaded the latest Epson driver, and reinstalled it after trashing the old /Library/Printers/EPSON folder.
Settings:
• Photoshop Manages Colors
• Document profile: HFA_Eps3800_MK_PhotoRag
• Printer Profile: HFA_Eps3800_MK_PhotoRag
• Intent: Relative Colorimetric
At this point I am baffled. Can anyone please help?

There are supposed to be Mac drivers and also Leopard beta drivers for the 3800.
There are too many Epson customers on Macs for them to not let the photo printers work with Macs.
P.S. I just Googled "Epson 3800 driver" and the first hit was the driver page. There are Mac drivers there, as there should be. *Did you scroll down past the Windows drivers* on that page? The Mac drivers are right there below the Windows drivers, just as they always are on the Epson site.
