O.K. I am showing: Adobe bridge CS6 64 bit, Adobe bridge CS6, Adobe estended script tool kit CS6, Adobe extensions manager CS6, Adobe Photoshop CS6 64 bits, and Adobe photoshop CS64: is this correct?

Hello, Yes, it is normal, if you selected during install to have both 64bits and 32bits versions.
Bridge is a super powerful file browser that can import, rename and batch process your photos.
ESTK is used to write scripts, is not necessary per se.
The extensions manager will let you install additional panels and presets from Adobe Exchange.

  • Trial Photoshop CS6 - can I access it as a first-time user?

    I downloaded trial Photoshop CS6 on my iMac as a first-time user, knowing that my serial number for CS1 was out of date (I'm retired and haven't used Photoshop for years). But I can't activate it. Is it not available for first-time users and if not, how can I uninstall it safely? I really want to try it out before I buy the full version, and was unaware that I needed a serial number until the install.

    You don't need a serial number for trielas. if it timed out, something went wrong.
    Adobe trial software expired early
    Uninstall it using the uninstaller that comes with the program.

    You need to plug the iPad into your computer that has iTunes installed on it, and activate it.

  • Does Photoshop CS6 Extended allows users to crop individual frames?

    Does Photoshop CS6 Extended allows users to crop individual frames? As in just one segment of the video? If so, how is it done?

    Hi there
    The Crop tool in Photoshop functions by cropping the entire image area - however, you can use a Layer Mask to edit an indiviual video or animation frame, as shown below.
    1. Start by importing your video or animation in Photoshop, making sure to convert frames to layers (File > Import > Video Frames To Layers...). Go to your layers panel and select the frame you'd like to crop. Turn on the visibility of the layer by clicking on the small check box to the left of the layer icon - it should turn into an eye as shown below. Then, click the "Add vector mask" icon highlighted below.
    2. Next, select the Rectangular Marquee tool (or use an alternative selection method if you want a different shape) and draw a seelction around the part of your video/animation you want to keep.
    3. Go to Select > Inverse to select the inverse of the area you just selected.
    4. Grab the Paint Bucket Tool and fill the selected area with pure Black (#000000). This will effectively "crop" the layer you have selected. You can see below that the layer underneath my selected layer is now showing through where I filled the selection with black.
    The great thing about using a mask is that you can edit it or delete it altogether if need be. Note though that the area you mask will show up as transparent pixels in your Timeline panel - you can see the layer I edited on the far right of my timeline in the screenshot above.
    Please post again if you need additional help, or if what I demonstrated is not what you were trying to do.
    Cheers!

  • First Time User - Confirmation Of Subscription and...

    First Time User.   I want to replace my existing VoIP with Skype equivalent.  The wiring between Skype hardware and internal phone lines is already in place for the existing VoIP so there is no issue there and I am aware there is no number transfer.
    Calls are all from to USA. Incoming number required. Voice Mail Required.  From the website I believe the following package would be required.
    1. Purchase Home Phone Adaptor, one time, $49.99.  I configure it with online number somehow but that's a TBD for later. 
    2. Purchase subscription for US and Canada $2.99 a month or yearly (save 15%)
    3. Purchase online number $30 per annum with subscription purchase. comes with voicemail.
    I am assuming Android/iTouch calls over Skype will be able to use same Skype subscription?
    Is there anything else I should know?

    Hi Mike,
    It seems you have done your research.
    1) For outgoing calls Unlimited US&Canada works fine
    2) For incoming calls Online Number costs 30USD per year
    Important: Make sure you purchase a subscription first, otherwise you don't get a discount and Online Number will be 60USD
    3) Voicemail is free service, you can set it up any time from your account:
    https://secure.skype.com/account/
    4) From hardware side, subscription is linked to your Skype account, therefore it doesn't matter if you make calls from PC, certified Skype phone adaptor, Android phone or iTouch.

  • First time user of Mac(Book Air) and mouse sensitivity not high enough

    First time user of Mac(Book Air) and one thing that has bothered me is when I use a generic USB mouse and I've set the tracking speed/sensitivity to the max and it's still not high enough and it just irritates me to no ends. Am I not doing something properly being a first time mac user? Thanks in advance for any response.

    Depends on the mouse.  "Laser" with shorter wavelengths are far too sensitive for me and need to be dialed down.  IR is worthless in my opinion because they cannot move properly across a black/white checkerboard.
    I actually (to my great surprise) love using the trackpad and hate to use the mouse because trackpad keeps my thumbs directly between my hands while typing.  But that is just me.

    Thanks

    In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

  • Installed Photoshop CS6 3 times from Perpetual License download - error messages keep coming

    Windows 7-64
    I bought Photoshop CS6 as an upgrade to CS3 and CS5 which I had previously bought on Disk. This new version came as a Download from Adobe but I have continuing problems with this download.
    On first installation I ran the updater from inside Photoshop and got error message:
    Extension Manager 6.0.6 Update
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
    I ran the Adobe Application Manager for updates and it said I was O.K. but again from within Photoshop the updater gave the error message.
    The Adobe Community suggested a re-install. I uninstalled the programme, ran the clean-up creative software tool and did another download and re-installed.
    Now I have another error message:
    Adobe Photoshop 13.0.1.2
    Done with Errors. Error Code: U44M1P6
    Extension Manager 6.0.6 Update
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
    I ran the Adobe Application Manager again today and it treated me as a Creative Cloud customer and said my trial had ended! - I don't subscribe to Creative Cloud, I am on a perpetual license. I have never (knowingly) done a modified install (wouldn't know how to!)
    So now I have uninstalled Photoshop CS6 yet again. I have seen on one forum to download from the TRY button instead of the bought button. But I can't find the TRY button now - in fact all I can find on the HELP pages is the Creative Cloud version.
    Time is running out - I can see I will be asking for my money back on this one!
    Any help out there please?
    Thanks

    That's expected:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4738049
    I'm sorry the update didn't help, but you know Adobe will require you to update to the latest once you engage them.
    I think an Adobe engineer is going to have to weigh in here   There was once a problem just like this reported (same c000001d error code), but I thought Adobe had fixed it.  See also:

    I hope the answer doesn't turn out to be "you can't run Photoshop on that old Athlon processor."

  • First time user questions (managing library, file size defaults, cropping,)

    I'm on my first Mac, which I am enjoying and am also using iPhoto '08 for the first time which is a great tool. It has really increased my efficiency in editing a lot of photos at one time. However, the ease of use makes a couple custom things I want to do difficult. I'd appreciate any feedback;
    1) I often want to get at my files for upload or transfer to another machine. When I access Photos with my Finder I can only see "Iphoto Library" (or something like that) which does not show the individual files. Very annoying. I have found that i can browse to one of the menus and select "Open Library" and then I can see all the files.
    How can I make it default to this expanded setting? When I am uploading pictures via a web application, for instance, the file open tool does not usually give me the option to Open the library. By Default, I would like the library to always be expanded so I do not have to run iPhoto or select "open" to view the files.
    Basically, I just want easy manual control of my files in Finder and other applications.
    2) Where do I set the jpg size of an edited file? My camera will output 10MB files and after a simple straighten or crop, iPhoto will save them to 1MB files.
    Ignoring the debate on file size, is there a way to control the jpg compression so I can stay as close to what came out of the camera as possible?
    3) I crop all my photos to 5x7. If I do that once, it comes up the next time. However, once I straighten the photo and then choose crop, it always comes up with some other odd size by default (the largest rectangle that can be fit in the new photos size).
    While I know this may be useful for some people, it is time consuming when going through hundreds of photos to constantly have to choose "5x7" from the drop down list. Is there a way to make this the default?
    I'm sure I'll have some more questions, but thus far, I've been real happy with iPhoto.
    4) The next task will be sharing this Mac Pictures folder on my Wireless network so my XP PC can access it. I'm open to any tips on that one as well....
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services.
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    The format of the iPhoto library is this way because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.
    Basically, I just want easy manual control of my files in Finder and other applications.
    What's above is what's on offer. Remember, iPhoto is NOT a file organiser, it's a photo organiser. If you want to organise files, then use a file organiser.
    Where do I set the jpg size of an edited file
    You don't. Though losing 9MB off a 10MB files is excessive. Where are you getting these file sizes.
    I crop all my photos to 5x7. If I do that once, it comes up the next time. However, once I straighten the photo and then choose crop, it always comes up with some other odd size by default (the largest rectangle that can be fit in the new photos size).
    Straightening also involves cropping. Best to straighten first, then crop.
    The next task will be sharing this Mac Pictures folder on my Wireless network so my XP PC can access it.
    If you use the hack detailed above be very careful, it's easy to corrupt the iPhoto Library, and making changes to the iPhoto Package File via the Finder or another app is the most popular way to go about it.
