Placing Images with CS2

Hello:
I really hope someone can help me with this. I am using photoshop to create a banner and am having an issue. When I open a new document in photoshop, then use the "place" feature in File to insert a photo from my computer, it distorts the color properties of the photo upon insertion. It doesn't seem to matter where the photo came from or whether it's a .png file or a .jpg file, it does the same thing everytime. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this keeps happening? Could it be my settings?
Thanks in advance.

As far as the image being profiled or unprofiled...I'm clueless, sorry. Regarding the Color Settings, I hope this is what you're looking for. I went into the Edit menu and chose 'color settings'. This is what it gave me:
Working Spaces:
Color Settings: Custom
RGB Custom RGB
CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Gray: Dot Gain 20%
Spot: Dot Gain 20%
Color Management Properties:
RGB: Preserve Embedded Profiles
CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles
Gray: Preserve Embedded Profiles
Conversion Options:
Engine: Adobe (ACE)
Intent: Relative Colorimetric
Use black point compensation (this box is checked)
Use Dither 8 byte channel images (this box is checked)
Advanced Controls:
Desaturate monitor color by 20% (this box is not checked)
Blend RGB colors using Gamma 1.00 (this box is not checked)
Thank you so much for helping.

Placed images with mini bridge

multiple image layouts where images are placed with mini bridge are not editable until the layout is saved, well still not, save and reopen and the images are not placed in the layout. deleated ps6 today, reinstalled, updated, purchased cc for ps.... still not working

I just tried this with a new document in CC, and I had no problem opening and editing the placed Smart Object in the unsaved document. If you place a jpg or other file that does not allow layers, and try to add a layer, it will save psb file and you will lose any editing, as the jpg will still be embedded. You either need to place psd files, or once you make some edits, use the smart object replace content to replace the jpg with the psd or psb file.

Batch placing images with filename as an editable caption?

Howdy! Does anyone know if there is an easy way to place about 300 screenshots into ID CC on a multi-page document (obviously) AND capture each filename associated with the image as a text frame above it (or close to it)? I named my files as reminders for the copy I need to write to describe the screenshot and - boy - would this help a lot to avoid back and forth to refer to file names. I need to edit the copy associated with each image, which is why I need the text (filename) in a text frame. The file names are long. I know - not an ideal way to name files, but I had to do screenshots on the fly on someone else's computer and it's what popped into my head at the time. Thank you kindly!

You're in luck. You can use the Object > Captions > Caption Setup to pick Name as the metadata. Then when you place the file turn on Import Options and check Create Static Captions.
You also can create dynamic captions which pull other metadata from the images but it doesn't sound like that's what you need.
Also you can read more about Captions in InDesign Help.

Placing images with AS

Hi
Can I use AS2 to re/place an image on the stage?
Thanks in advance
Edward

OK
I am trying to emulate this:
http://www.aandjlandscapes.com/index2.htm
click a link, acurtain goes up, and when it comes down there is
another image behind it.
I have created movie clips of curtains_up and curtains_down.
Now its a question of getting the correct image in front and
behind. I got it working nicely with one page, but once I introduce
a second one then there images appear wrong. They can change before
the curtain has gone up.

Problems with placing Tiff images in CS2

When placing a Tiff image in CS2 the file crashes or a memory warning appears. I am able to place much larger EPS images, so image size is not necessarily a factor Saving the file as an EPS in PhotoShop is not a solution as I am placing GeoTiffs which must retain their geographic reference file. The OS is Windows XP 32 - a quad core proc. - Radeon HD 6350 graphics controller with 512mb (dedicated)

No - it is possible to place a geotiff in illustrator - I have been able to do it. However, now I have a new PC and am unable to place the same types of tiff images I previously was able to in an older PC.

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,

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.

Help with placing images - why do they appear at 150% and look bad?

Hi there,
Relative newbie here.
I have my display performace in InDesign set to high. Whether I 'place' an image or simply drag it onto the page, and regardless of what image file format I use (tif, png, jpg, whatever), when placed, the images appear about 50% bigger than the source, and low-ish quality. I'm forced then to try to resize them manually so they look good on-screen and when printed.
Why when I place images do they not appear at 100%?
Is there a way to resize images other than grabbing the re-size handles and hoping for the best?
Many thanks.

OK, if the scale says 100% with the direct select tool, that's what you have. Note that using the regular select tool (the black arrow) will ALWAYS show 100% in the scale fields unless you have set your prefs to "adjust scaling percentage," so that's why you use the direct select tool to check. You can also selct the image with either tool and look at the Info Palette. at 100% the actual and effective ppi listed will be the same. What resolution is currently listed in the Info Palette?
I asked about click vs, click and drag because in CS4 when you drag a frame it always scales the image to fit. This is not true in CS3.
Screen captures are typically 72 ppi at the size they are captured. 72 ppi is low for most print work, but for screen captures nobody really expects much in terms of quality. You really are placing, right, not dragging from Photoshop into ID, which is the equivalent of pasting? Pasting an image gives you only the screen preview in CS3. I'm not sure you'd see a difference with a screen grab, though, since the preview would also be 72 ppi.
If the image is really too large on the page you can scale in ID by holding the Ctrl + Shift keys while dragging a handle. You must press the keys before clicking the mouse in Windows becasue there is a bug. You can also use the Scale tool, or enter a new scale value in the scaling fields. You can use actual dimensions in those fields if you include the units, by the way.
In Photoshop you can scale the image using Image > Image Size... If you uncheck the "resample image" box the resolutiuon will change in inverse proportion to the size, so reducing the size will increase the resolution, but there will be no differnce in quality over scaling in ID.

Placing images i have created in with corel photopaint

Have a problem placing images created in corel photopaint software into a muse website. None of the corel; images apear only images created with microsoft. At presnet only images created with microsoft come up when i try to place an images in to a website with muse software.

No offense, but seriously read up on web design. Web image formats are PNG, JPEG, SVG and GIF. Beyond that, Adobe apps may support generic image formats liek BMP, TIFF and a few others and convert the monce you publish the pages, but it's simply unrealistic to assume Adobe would the native image format of a competing vendor such as Corel's PhotoPaint files...

Can't open CS2 image with photoshop

I had this camera, Canon 50d, for little more than two years.
Now it is time to start working with Raw image and can't open the image with Photoshop.
But I could open with EOS utility but want to work with Photoshop.
thanks for reading and advice pleae

Photoshop CS2 will never directly open a Canon EOS-50D raw file. The raw files from every camera are different and your camera was designed after the Photoshop CS2 Camera Raw application stopped receiving updates.
This list is pertinent:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
That said, there is a free solution that will allow you to open your images indirectly.
Download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388 (Mac)
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389 (PC)
Whenever you have a folder full of raw 50D images run the DNG Converter on the folder to convert all the files to DNG format. You will have to select the proper compatibility setting.
You can now open the DNG files with Photoshop CS2's Camera Raw converter.
Just as an aside, the Camera Raw converter from the latest version of Photoshop delivers images of higher quality, so you may want to consider moving up to Photoshop CS6. Unfortunately you will have to pay full price; there's no Photoshop CS2 -> CS6 upgrade discount.

Problem with photoshop automatically resizing placed images

Hi,
I have PS6. I have images that are 144x100 px. When I use file>place ps resizes the image to 108x75. I can't figure out how to make ps quit resizing my pictures. Anybody know?
Thanks

When Pasting, Dragging, copying and placing an image Photoshop will copy all of the image being duplicated original pixels to preserve the image pixel quality the image quality. If the receiving document has a different DPI resolution the image may look a different size in the receiving documents because of the number of pixels added to the document that has a lower or higher dpi resolution. If the image is being placed in if the image pixels exceeds the receiving documents canvas size. Photoshop may scale the smart object layer to fit within the canvas that depends on the users Photoshop's preference. All of the images original pixels are still there in the embedded object. In my Photoshop Collage Scripts I always transform all placed images to 100% size incase Photoshop scaled the placed image. For you can not get the scale percent Photoshop used. Once I know I have the image at 100% size I can use the layer bounds to get the actual number of pixels there are in the placed image. Once I know that I can calculate the scale I need to use to resize the image to fit the area being populated in the collage template. Once resized I center it into place and mask off any excess image pixels.

My InDesign program is printing my placed images lighter than illustrator.

I am trying to print a colour logo in Indesign with black type on my inkjet printer. The colours are appearing fine on screen and so is the black but when I print everything is washed out. I tried just printing a black box and it appears black on screen but in print it is grey. I have tried changing the preferences Appearance of Black to rich and accurate but that did not make a difference. Do I need to do anything in color management I am using Indesign CS2. How can I solve this problem?

Acrobat worked, thanks for that advice. I set my Convert to Profile under the Edit Menu to Color
Match RGB. That helped a little bit but it is not printing like the
pdf. I would like to get this problem resolved. I normally use
illustrator most of my work. But I would like to have InDesign working
properly as I need it to do other jobs.
Take Care,
Jen

Jen,
This is a problem that you have no time to fool with, correct?
When printing from InDesign and all looks hopeless, export to PDF and print from the PDF.
Why?
I don't know for sure but it seems all printers made recently accept PDF better than straight from InDesign. It could be the printer driver and it could be InDesign but you don't have time to mess with it now. Wait for some free time to sort it out, but for now output to PDF and print from Adobe Reader or Acrobat.

Strange stiching white lines in placed images...

Hi,
I'm having some problems with Illustrator CS2.
When i place a .PSD file (1 layer, photo, transparent background) with 300 dpi / CMYK 8bit into my main page, i get these strange stitching white lines over the image.
Not only that, but after working on my arrangement some more, if i click my placed image, i notice how Illustrator has sliced it into 2 or more parts..
This is annoying, since getting those white stitching lines doesn't really make me safe for print, and also bothers me that Illustrator slices the image into 2 or more parts without asking or confirmation.
Anyone knows how i can fix this problem?
Thanks,
John

Slow CS3 compared with CS2

I'm seeing an overall sluggish performance in inDesign CS3 compared with CS2. I use G5 processors and I have plenty of Ram (8 Gigs on a x2 G5 and (2 Gigs on an iMac) I . Even CS2 running on a G4 PowerBook seems faster. The preview of the images set on Typical makes me think that I have the setting on High Quality, whilst I don't. Images take ages to show up. Seeing the same document open on an Intel machine seems much faster even if has only 2 Gigs of Ram. Is there a problem with G5 Macs and InDesign CS3? Photoshop CS3 works just fine.

Is it like this with any document? There have not been much complaining of CS3 being slow so it is certainly not a general problem. I have only toyed with the tryout, I am stuck in CS1(!) until fall, but didnt notice any slowdowns in screen redraws on a few magazines I converted.
You said in a previous post it is like having high res display on, does that mean that they also display in high res or was it just to compare the sluggishness? Placing overly large images and downsizing in Indesign could cause that I think. See what ppi the image are reported to be, actual and effective.
Are those images on a server or on your local disk? If on a server see if it behaves any better when trying with images placed from you local drive.
Also try an export to .inx and reopen that with hope of getting rid of any corruption.

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?
