Possible Bug in CS4 Extended 3D Axis Widget Rotate?

I wrapped a transparent background PNG text image around the sphere, used a mask to subtract the sphere leaving me with a nice "circular" text on a transparent backdrop.
Next, I want to rotate this 360 degrees on the Z axis in the 10 second default timeline with keyframe to log the rotation so I can output single PNG frames. The rotation would be as if the text were painted around a rotating globe which was "tilted" at about 30 degrees, but without the globe.
I can use the manual 3D tools to achieve this, but I can't do it without excessive XY axis "wobble." I can use the 3D Axis Widget to rotate the text perfectly, not only 360 degrees but 720 or 1440, etc. The problem is that when I use the 3D Axis Widget (which allows me to rotate the text without a trace of XY axis wobble), the keyframe doesn't log or record it properly. It's as if only a few degrees of rotation are actually recorded.
Am I missing something, or could this be a bug??
Any help appreciated.....
Best regards,
Lin

i'm having the same problem here.. running on CS5 Extended.. the 3D Axis, Ground Plane, etc are all greyed out.. 3D -> New Shape From Layer won't give me the 3D Axis and the rendered subject looks 2D.. i've tried all Basic, Normal & Advanced settings but to no avail.. i even updated my graphics driver to the latest driver but still the same...
my specs,
Intel Core i5 2410-M
2GB nVidia GT540M
4GB of DDR3 RAM
i doubt that my graphics card can't handle the 3D rendering, as the updated driver addressed the 3D support for Photoshop CS5.... plz help.. thanx..

Possible bug: Saving array with extended and double precision to spreadsheet

If one concatenates a double precision array and an extended precision array with the "build array" vi and then saves using "Write to Spreadsheet File" vi any digits to the right of the decimal place are set to zero in the saved file. This happens regardless of the format signifier input (e.g. %.10f) to the "Write to Spreadsheet File" vi.
I am on Vista Ultimate 32 bit and labview 9.0
This is a possible bug that is easily circumvented by converting to one type before combining arrar to a spreadsheet. Nonetheless, it is a bug and it cost me some time.
Solved!

Spreadsheet save bug.vi ‏9 KB

Hi JL,
no, it's not a bug - it's a feature
Well, if you would look more closely you would recognize the "Save to Spreadsheet" as polymorphic VI. As this polymorphic VI doesn't support EXT numbers internally (it only supports DBL, I64 and String) LabVIEW chooses the instance with most accuracy: I64 (I64 has 64 bits precision, DBL only 53...). So your options are:
- set the instance to use as DBL (by right-click and "Select type...")
- make a copy of this VI, save it with a different name and make it support EXT numbers (don't rework the polymorphic VI as you would break compatibility with other LV installations or future revisions)
And yes, those coercion dots always signal some conversions - you should atleast check what's going on there...

I need to upgrade a adobe photoshop cs4 extended package brought through a company. Is this possible?

I need to upgrade an adobe photoshop cs4 extended package brought through a company. Is this possible?

It depends what you need to upgrade to. You probably cannot upgrade CS4 to a newer Creative Suite because it is most often no longer in the upgrade path. Usually CS5 is the minimum in the path, and the only upgrade that you could get is for CS6 since Adobe does not sell older versions.
If you would like to join the Creative Cloud then you should be able to upgrade to the special introductory plan they have for Creative Suite owners.

Yes. it's shown as an upgrade on the Adobe web site.

Smudging difficulty in Adobe PS CS4 Extended

Hi, Good day to all PS users...
I am new in asking help here, i apologize for that matter...
As the title says, I am having difficulty in using Smudge in Adobe PS CS4 Extended. I am currently trying this tutorial:
http://www.photoshoplab.com/light-your-house-on-fire.html
I have successfully done 3 images on that tutorial but when I tried the tutorial for the 4th time, it could not smudge anymore. Certainly I have tried some basic troubleshooting hoping that it will fix the bug (saving the file and Restarting PS, restarting my computer) but it still couldn't do anything.
I have thoughts of asking the tutorial owner regarding this matter but I have doubts since I believe that there is a high possibility that it is the program itself which is malfunctioning.
Hoping for a positive response...
Thank you so much...

Try resetting the tool from the drop-down menu next to the tool icon top left in the Options bar.

I need to install photoshop cs4 extended from a disk to a new computer because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

I have to install Photoshop CS4 extended on a new computer from a disk because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

Find your serial number quickly
You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past. The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box. If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software.

I've unknowingly sold pirated copies of Adobe CS4 Extended on Ebay

And would like to know what I should/could do to help Adobe and bring about some kind of resolution.
It's a bit of a long story, but I'm a top-rated powerseller on Ebay and a few weeks ago I answered an ad on Craigslist for CS4 Extended at $199 a piece. I really had no idea what the software retailed for, but after searching Ebay and finding them selling for an average of about $399-$499, figured they probably went for somewhere around $600-$700. I decided I'd sell them for $299 and make a quick $100 off each sale. And boy did they go fast. I bought 5 copies at first, placed the ad that night and by the time I woke up the next morning they’d all sold. I met the seller again that afternoon and bought four more copies. Again, they sold immediately.
That's when I started feeling a tinge of nervousness. I'm from Seattle, so I didn't really think twice when the seller told me their source was a person who worked at Microsoft and had access to the "Microsoft store" (which is somewhat infamous here because of how cheap you can get software for if you have access). But nine copies? This was just too easy. I took one of my copies and drove across town to Best Buy to see how well it matched up to theirs. And it matched perfectly, but I was stunned at the $900 price tag and therefore the ‘matching up’ did little to help my nervousness. I ran home, hopped on the PC and found that one of my buyers lived about 20 miles from my house. Okay, this was a way to find out for sure! I emailed and called them, but after getting no response I made the decision to drive to their apartment later that afternoon, unannounced, with a copy of the software in hand. Unfortunately they weren't home so I left a note, which essentially stated that I was very sorry for dropping by like this, but my computer's CD Rom wasn't working (which it wasn’t) and wanted to make sure that the software they'd bought was legitimate. I stated that I hoped they wouldn't mind installing in my presence so I didn't end up shipping out the other copies only to end up ripping people off and creating a mess.
It wasn't until the next morning that I heard back from him, via an email stating how rude it was that I came by like that, and to simply mail the software to them and they'd let me know if it didn't work. Although I knew it was a possibility, It definitely wasn't the response I was hoping for. Dang.
In my Ebay ad, I'd promised 2-3 day delivery on the software, so made the horrible decision to go ahead and ship them out that afternoon, keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. After all, these looked real, all the way down to the product ID sticker, pamphlet, CD artwork, etc. If these were fake, then someone went to a LOT of trouble and spent a LOT of money to make them look real. I guess I figured that my chances of them being pirated were pretty slim considering the financial aspect of the alternative. I did a little research and found that just the shrink-wrapping machine would probably have set the "pirater" back a couple of thousand dollars, then the professional looking pamphlet, the box insert, the box itself, the little stickers...this would be one heck of an undertaking. What are the chances someone would have the means to do something like that? Well unfortunately, much higher than I thought.
The first Ebay complaint was filed a few days later and the others soon followed. All the work I’d put in to Ebay began crumbling down around me and I called the man I’d bought them from under the guise of wanting to buy more. We met at a local Burger King and I confronted him about my situation. In response, he repeated what he’d told me the first time I bought them: The software was definitely legitimate and he’d had three different opportunities to install it himself on behalf of his buyers, all of which were successful.
I pointed out that not a single registration code was valid and that some of my buyers had actually called Adobe and were flat-out told by representatives that they’d bought illegitimate software. Every last copy of the software I sold was being returned. I said that I wasn’t concerned as much about his level of culpability, but that I get money back to be able to pay for the accumulating refunds. Of course he seemed sincere in telling me that he’d get back to me, but I haven’t heard a word from him since we parted that day. But something positive did come of the meeting! In parting, I pretended to drive away only to circle back around and see him get into his vehicle (he’d parked quite a distance from our meeting place) and got his license plate number.
The timing of this mess was incredibly horrible because I was moving at the end of last month and it cost me a small fortune. When it came to being able to refund people, I simply didn’t have the money. I called Ebay and Paypal, told them my situation, what had happened, and they covered the refunds for me but informed me that I have two weeks to pay them back before they shut down my account.
I’ve sold on Ebay for over two years and it’s my biggest source of income by far (I’m a waiter by trade otherwise). I’ve lost that now and have only myself and my bad judgment to blame. But I would like this person to be held accountable for his part; even if that means that I have to face consequences myself.
This happened over two weeks ago, but I’ve not called the local police yet because I’m not so sure that they have either the tools or the motivation to pursue something like this. Instead I’ve been scanning Craigslist to make sure he’s not still selling (it seems he’s laying low right now) and figured I’d contact Adobe and see what course of action they’d like me to take. I’m wondering how aggressive they are in making sure piraters are prosecuted and how they go about doing it. Hence this post.
I’m in a financial mess at the moment and have been working a lot of double-shifts lately in my scramble to come up with money; I haven’t had much time to be able to contact Adobe during their office hours and thought I’d write this in the hopes that someone from Adobe will read it and be able to point me directly to someone who handles this sort of thing.
This guy lied to me about successfully installing this software, so I have every reason to believe that he’s knowingly and directly involved in the operation. I still have the returned software. What should I do?

Since your intention was to sell legit software, I'm sorry that you were as much a victim as your buyers were. I don't know what else you could do except report it as others have suggested and pay your customers back. Companies like Adobe don't have the resources to follow up on every individual case of piracy, but they should be interested in tracking down the sources of the big professional counterfeiting rings. Judging from your description of the packages you sold and the cost of producing such packages, I assume they come from such a source.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I'm from Seattle, so I didn't really think twice when the seller told me their source was a person who worked at Microsoft and had access to the "Microsoft store" (which is somewhat infamous here because of how cheap you can get software for if you have access).
I don't get the connection - you were selling Adobe software, not Microsoft software.

3D not accessible in Photoshop CS4 extended trial?

I have just downloaded the photoshop cs4 extended trial. I want to convert an existing photo to 3D however the entire 3D menu items are greyed out.
Any thoughts please?

No idea. I can only speak for the full Master Collection and there it works when installed as a trial. I would assume that the standalone PS trial supports all the features, otherwise it wouldn't be PS Extended. Even more so, as the 3D part is Adobe's own concoction that does not involve third-party licensing rights which could possibly prevent them from having this in the trial...

My 3D And Analysis menus have gone missing in my PS CS4 Extended

Hopefully this is the correct place to post this. I have PS CS4 Extended version, and I had the 3D and Analysis menus like it's supposed to have, and now for some reason, they have gone missing, they are not there in my top menu items anymore, there are 9 there now instead of 11, I just noticed this recently, and when I open the program, on the splash screen, it just says Adobe Photoshop CS4, and not Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended like it used to, is there any explanation for this? I have it installed on my laptop, which is a hp dv6 1360us, and it does have the proper hardware to handle 3D and the sort and there have been no changes to that, so that really can't be the issue. I do remember using ccleaner about a week or 2 ago to clean up my computer and in doing so I accidently removed a few files that had photoshop in the filename, registry files, so could I possibly have messed up my photoshop by removing those files? I don't really know. I did a system restore, and got those files back, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my version of photoshop, and I still have the same problem. If anyone could possibly help me sort this out it would be awesome and I'd really appreciate it.

Was this a 30 day trial download of PS CS4 extended and maybe you purchased, from Adobe, PS CS4 (not extended) serial number and entered that?
the serial number that is entered determines if PS CS4 is Extended or not.
I would contact Adobe Customer service. There is nothing anybody can do on here with a serial number problem.

Command "Load Files into Stack" part of CS4 Standard or CS4 Extended only?

Hi,
this question is about Photoshop CS4, not previous versions.
About this Photoshop command:
File > Scripts > Load files into stack
Is it part of CS4 Standard - or CS4 Extended only?
And this command from within Bridge CS4 (not earlier versions):
Tools > Photoshop > Load files into Photoshop Layers (or so)
Is it only in CS4 Extended or also in CS4 Standard?
On a side note: I do have CS4 Extended, but sometimes want to know what's actually doable in CS4 Standard (for teaching, screenshots, etc). Is it possible to run the Extended version in Standard mode? Could a "work space" be defined for that (once you know the differences) or better could a "work space" be downloaded for that? Could Extended be switched to show as Standard?
Thanks for all clever hints!

Extended and Standard are the same app. the extended features are unlocked with an extended serial number. The scripts may show but you might not be able to use them.

After a re-install, it is impossible in Photoshop CS4 Extended to give a preset size to the Crop Tool. How can I het it back?

After a re-install of Photoshop CS4 Extended, because of problems with my iMac, it is impossible to give a preset size to the Crop Tool.How is that possible - and how can I repair that?

Did you trash the Photoshop's preferences before re-installing?
Reinstalling without trashing the preferences is futile, as you still have all the corruption there.
Quit Photoshop now and trash preferences:
Hold down Command, Option, and Shift keys while starting up Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking if you wish to delete the preferences/settings file. Click on yes.

Installing photoshop cs4 extended with cs3 suite

Hi,
I would like to install photoshop cs4 extended with cs3 suite on the same drive.
Is it possible? Should I uninstall photoshop cs3 (not extended) from the drive first?
Should I use the WinCS4Cleanupscript before I do that.
I dont want to uninstall the whole suite cs3.
Thanks for your advises

CS3 will co-exist quite happily on your computer with CS4.
Do not remove it until you are completely satisfied with the new version!
There is absolutely no need for the clean script at this point. It is only to clear up after messed up un-installs.

Printing a ProcessingInstruction, possible bug

We are trying to store a DOM parsed Document in a VarChar2 field in a Oracle 8.1.6 table.
The problems we have are with a processing instruction that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
The print method of the oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument generates the following:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
Note that the double quote is changed to a single quote. Is this a bug?
We have a nasty workaround included below.
// Hekan.
package oracle.xml.parser.v2;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
* Class used to fix a possible bug in printing a processing instruction with the
* XMLPrintDriver
public class HitsPrintDriver extends XMLPrintDriver {
public HitsPrintDriver(PrintWriter writer) {
super(writer);
* Method overridden to fix the printing
public void printProcessingInstruction(XMLPI xmlpi) throws IOException
StringWriter writer;
XMLOutputStream xmloutputstream;
writer = new StringWriter();
xmlpi.print(new XMLOutputStream(new PrintWriter(writer)), false);
String s = writer.toString();
out.writeChars(writer.toString().replace('\'', '\"'));
out.flush();
null

for xml both are the same, so, you don't have to worry about it.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, owned for ages, licensing for this product has expired? Was using it two months ago.

Hello,
I have been trying to get Adobe's help for over a month now. I've been on the phone twice to them, opened up three seperate cases and still arrived at no solution. I was bought Photoshop CS4 Extended awhile ago and use it for my studies (I'm an art student). Two months ago my harddrive on my computer failed and I had to have a new laptop. I went to reinstall Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has expired" comes up. I've uninstalled, inreinstalled many times and used Microsoft Fix It Programme for uninstalling to make sure all the files are gone.
Surfing the forums I learned that there should be a folder with back up and Adobe PCD but I don't have that folder at all. The serial number I use is my original serial number that I know works and adobe have even said it's a technical error. What do I do? College starts again in two weeks and I don't have the programme I use for it!

Try the License Repair Tool Adobe - Adobe Licensing Repair Tool
Other suggestions if this doesn't work: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
Also if you must uninstall, use the Adobe CS Cleaner tool, not the Microsoft one. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
