Preflight settings from CS5 to CC?

Hi!
I was just wondering how I install the preflight settings from CS5 to CC? Will they work the same? I really need to know this before I update to CC.

In CS5 click the Preflight panel menu and choose Define Profiles...
In the next dialog pick (one at a time, unfortunately), the profiles you want to move in the list on the left, then click the Preflight profile menu button (on the right, below the list) and choose Export Profile, then save in a convenient location.
In CC, do the same, except instead of exporting a profile click the button and choose Load Profile.

Best way to transfer settings from CS5.5 to CS6

I am trying out CS 6 Creative Cloud and want to copy my settings from CS5.5. Is there any easier way to do this than re-creating them through the UI? It would take such a long time to re-enter my preferences, shortcut keys, search queries, window layouts, &c, manually that the trial period would be over before I finish!

Look at Replace Your Preferences for a list of things you should be able to back up and transfer easily. The only thing that might casue a problem that I can think of is custom shortcut sets, but I think CS5.5 and CS6 are similar enough that they won't casue abberant behavior (the same was not true going from CS4 into CS5).

Can I import settings from CS5's Live Trace to CS6's Image Trace?

I'm loving CS6 Illustrator, except for one thing. Image Trace. Here, Adobe seem to have taken away the two most usefull settings from Live Trace, and replaced all the presets with ones that are pretty much unusable. I almost always used either 'Comic Art' or 'Lettering' to trace hand-drawn images, but they're both gone. None of the new settings are good enough, even if I make a custom one. The main issue is that the sliders in Image Trace are for completely different things to those in Live Trace, so it's difficult to translate one set of settings into the other.
With Image Trace, I cannot get the same results as with Live Trace, and so far, have found myself having to have Illustrator CS5 open at the same time as CS6, just so I can get workable traces.
I don't know if it's possible, but is there any way to import the presets from Live Trace, or even the full tool, into CS6, to replace the new Image Trace presets?
If not, does anyone know how to make the equivelant of Comic Art in Image Trace's new settings?
Images, to help define the problem: This is a close up of a file I was trying to trace, showing the major difference in quality between the two CS versions.
Left: CS5 - Comic Art setting.
Right: CS6 - This is a custom setting, but is the closest I have come to Comic Art thus far.
As you can see, the definition of Image Trace is far lower in quality than Live Trace, giving me one large connected blob of colour rather than the distictly separate lines produced in Live Trace.

I can't show the original as it is a HUGE file, 10000 pixels wide. I scan as high as my scanner will go. And that 10000 is shrunk down already so as not to exhaust my RAM. Below is a smaller version, but yes it is a b/w drawing but on a colour scan. It's been treated using Levels in Photoshop to remove the grey/blue colour of the paper, but nothing else.
I can see round the edges of the black in Photoshop that there are bits of colour, mainly reds/yellows. What do you think I need to do to it to help it trace better?
Actually, I'll throw in my Image Trace settings too, so people can see what settings I'm currenty trying... I got the Threshold directly from Comic Art in CS5.5.

Importing of settings from CS5.5 is incomplete.

When I installed Photoshop CS6, I opted to import the presets from CS5.5. My custom workspace in both Photoshop and Bridge were included, but the custom actions I regularly use in Photoshop, and my Favorites in Bridge, were not. Until the import/export option can be made more comprehensive, Is there a document available somewhere for how to manually import all custom settings, both global and in individual user profiles? I need this not just for Photoshop, but for the entire Creative Suite.

Hello cwcsdc,
Preset migration only works on Photoshop presets that are saved in the default presets folder. On Mac this is on /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets and on Windows they are in the user AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets folders.
Best thing you can do is to copy all your presets to the respective folders within those directories. If your presets are not in these folders, they will not show up in the app UI anyways, so moving them will help you reach them easier.
Sadly, we can't account for presets from the other apps in the Creative Suite.
Hope this answers your questions.

CS6 Photoshop asked do I want to load previous settings from CS5.5

How do I get all the features in CS6 back as when I installed it it asked did I want to load previous settings. As I didn't know what this ment I said yes, now I don't have things like the new perspective tool.
How do I reload these features?

Delete the preference file in your prefs folder. Provide system information and we'll tell you where.

Migrating settings, actions, plug-ins etc. from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud)

Hi,
I wondered if someone could help me with the transition from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud). I'm on a Mac with Mountain Lion.
I would like to migrate as many settings (i.e. workspaces where relevant), personal Photoshop actions, plug-ins (i.e. Type DNA, FontShop [Photoshop], Scriptographer [Illustrator] and Blurb Template Creator [InDesign]) as possible from CS5 to CS6. What is the easiest and smoothest way to do this?
Some settings, actions and plug-ins might not work with CS6, I don't know. I can't find where my Photoshop actions are archived atm.
Can I import extensions from Adobe Extension Manager CS5 to Adobe Extension Manager CS6?
Should I uninstall all CS5 apps? I'd like to keep InDesign CS5 for backwards compatibility at least.
Does Audition completely replace Soundbooth? What about Flash Catalyst, Device Central and OnLocation?
Edit: I have already installed all the Creative Cloud applications btw. But I haven't uninstalled any CS5 apps yet.
Thanks,
Eivind

Hi Elvind,
I would suggest keeping both CS5 and CS6 versions on the system until you are fully transitioned, longer if you want. When you launch Photoshop CS6 it will ask you if you want to import settings from the prior version. Third party plug-ins may or may not be compatible between versions so you might need to check with the manufacturer to find out. You would most likely need to reinstall any third party plug-ins that integrate into existing Adobe product installations though.
I found this document for Photoshop CS6
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preset-migration-photoshop-cs6.htm l
For the PS actions, I normally open the actions panel, highlight the actions set (folder) I wanted to migrate, from the flyout menu of the panel choose the option to save the set, this creates the .atm file. There is another option for importing actions in the same menu.
I can't speak to migrating in relation to the other products. I would recommend posting in the respective product forums.

Issue with importing effects settings from 3.0 to CS5.5

Several times I've attempted to import effects settings from 3.0 into 5.5 using the 5.5 Import>Application Settings function. Each time it says that it is unable to do it because of some unknown error. Is there another way to import the settings? I'm in the middle of an album project in 3.0.1 and would like to try 5.5 with some of these existing sessions. I've used the SuiteSpot studios Ses2Sesx program to translate the session. It imports fine, but none of the effects or racks import. I very much want to be able to do that.

Hi Michael,
These effects are mostly external VSTs, but a few of them are native
(Parametric EQ). The program will just not import the settings .xml
file or the vstmanager settings .xml. The VSTs seemed to have been
found easily by the program. I have not yet gone through them all to
see if they will pop up.
Another interesting thing - when I installed AACS5.5 I lost the ability
to open AA 3.0.1. I had to reinstall 3.0.1 in order to be able to use it.
I'm not liking this program at all. I don't like the interface, the
GUI, or the navigation through the program.

All that info is found in your user/library folder, I just did a 60 machine rollout and copied all those settings from user/library, just be forewarned that if you upgrade software those setting will not take on the machine, for example Adobe CS 3,4 will not usable by CS5. let us know if you need more help. Also make sure you copy most of your preferences in the user/library/prefences folder.
Note: If you are using an identical backup with all apps and user settings, you can just copy all folders from user to your new home folder. Remember that only if the image or backup is identical to your production OS.

Preflight settings work at the page level but not the document level?

Greetings all,
Just wondering if anyone has run into this: I'm running Acrobat 10.1.3 on Lion and I've been struggling with getting my preflight settings to work. I can get a simple fixup (convert all to grayscale, for example) to work on a page or two extracted from a large document (800 pages), but I can't get the same fixup to successfully fix the whole document.
I've tried this on several different large documents with the same results. And yes, I did try all the usual stuff...quitting, restarting, rebooting, different docs, different fixups, duplicated a known working fixup...
I'm at my wit's end with it. Any ideas?
Best,
Dave

Do your settings work on small or medium size documents? Such as, instead of 800pgs, how about a 2 page file, a 4 page file, a 16 page file? In order to diagnose, you have to start a systematized test procedure to see where it fails. FWIW, I don't use that feature, but is Preflight even supposed to work on whole documents, not just the current page?

CS6 Three-Way CC not importing setting from CS5.5 Timelines or from Saved Presets from CS.5.5

Hello,
I had created two presets for the CS5.5 Three Way Color Corrector that I use in almost every project for dealing with sun shadows and hightlights on talents's skin and they no longer work in CS6. I've tried loading the old project/timeline/sequence into Premiere CS6 but the TWCC just acts like it is at default settings. No changes to the video at all.
I also had saved my two TWCC settings as presets (from CS5.5) to the hard drive to I would not loose them. I tried reloading those presets into CS6 but same problem.. they do nothing now. I guess no one checked to see that the new CS6 TWCC was backwards compatible with CS5.5. Major problem when loading / converting cs5.5 timelines to update client's projects. Adobe, please take a look at this and fix as soon as you can. Thanks! Wayland
Version info:
CS6 Cloud (last update as of friday Sept. 28, 2012)
CS5.5 Master Collection (previous version - now uninstalled)
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Hi Jim,
I've spent the better part of the day trying to redo what I had before and frankly the new TWCC sucks! The previous one was sooo much better. I can't even get close to what I had before. Many of the controls show up when you select 'show' but have little or no effect on the real video. I wish I could just delete the current one and replace it with the old one. If I still had CS5.5 I'd try that. Not happy at all. I'll be up all night trying to catch up due to time wasted on this stupid redesign of the TWCC as I have a ton of work due tomorrow.
Thanks for the reply and Best Wishes,
Wayland

Updating Dreamweaver from cs5.5 to cs6

I'm looking to update from DW cs5.5 to DW cs6, and am wondering is this a simple process? I always worry about doing updates because it seems like they sometimes can be trouble. How will it affect any sites that I have made in Dw cs5.5? Are there any know problems after doing the upgrade? Any info on making this change would be super, thanks in advance...

Ok, just trying to make sure I'm understanding...if I purchase the upgrade to go to Cs6 it's the whole program?
This is probably the dumbest question of the whole night but I'm missing something, if it is the whole program why is the price so much different then purchasing it on it's own???
Nancy O. wrote:
CS6 is a separate installation. You won't lose anything.
Be sure to Export Site Definition settings from your old DW. Close.
Open CS6, Site > Manage Sites > Import.
The most difficult part of migrating was getting my custom snippets folder into CS6. I had to create a custom snippet in DW CS6 first. Then I was able to move/copy custom snippets from old version to new CS6 folder.
Nancy O.
As per your second statement above, if I'm wanting to move my sites that were made in cs5.5 to DWCS6 then I have to do the Export Site Definitions, import process correct?

Transferring Actions Palette from CS5 on PC to CS6 on Mac

I recently upgraded from CS5 to CS6. The CS5 license was on a PC, the CS6 license is on my new Mac.
I have access to my old PC still, but I have not been able to figure out how to transfer my Actions or my Camera Raw presets (.XMP files) to the Mac. I need access to these Actions asap and am not able to recreate them. Would very much appreciate any help on this.

Hello, you need to save the actions from the Actions panel's flyout menu to a given location (some make a copy in an online folder) , and load them from the equivalent panel in CS6.
In ACR, are those presets, or develop settings for each photo? If the latter, copy them over with the photos.

10.6.7 won't print from CS5

I went through hours of troubleshooting and was finally able to print a jpeg from CS5 by going to File/Print in CS5, select Print Settings in the middle column. That opens the Apple print dialogue box and I select Color/Quality Options and change the RGB Color to Device. After that, I was able to print fine even after changing it back to the original settings.
I hope helps someone else...

I spent hours troubleshooting with Adobe and Apple with this very issue. And I think I found a resolution doing my own troubleshooting...
From CS5 go to File/Print and the Adobe print dialogue box opens. In the middle is a field to select Print Settings, under Copies. Select Print Settings which will open the Apple print dialogue box. Hold down the Layout field and a list opens. Select Color/Quality Options and change RGB Color to Device.
Doing this seems to reset something because I was finally able to print! And returning to the original settings seems to work again too. So, it's almost like resetting the print function from Photoshop. Although I hate to say it, seems the issue was with OS 10.6.7
I hope this is helpful to someone else.

Can't open print settings with CS5 and Epson R1900

In Photoshop CS5, go to File > Print. In the Print dialogue window, click on Print Settings... and no response. The blue Print button in the lower right corner flashes when I click, but nothing else happens.
I've tried running Photoshop in 32-bit mode as well. Doesn't behave differently.
Running on a Mac Pro 2.26 GHz (most current generation).
12 GB RAM
OS 10.6.4
Printer is connected to Airport Extreme USB (most current generation).
Can successfully print with CS4; seems to be a new issue with CS5.
Hope I've included enough info to troubleshoot this problem.
Thanks for any help!

I've been trying to trouble shoot this problem since the beginning of September. I wasn't sure if it was a snow leopard issue, a Driver issue, or a CS5 issue. I guess it's CS5. I recently discovered the work around of asking Photoshop to manage the colors, opening the print settings, saving, then returning to printer managing colors but this just doesn't cut it in our graphics lab. We need the settings to be as straight forward as possible for our students.
Also, unrelated sort of, Photoshop remembers the settings from the previous print job. Which again doesn't work well in a lab/public environment. So if jimmy printed 20 copies of a file and set it to print colors as gray; Susie, the next in line, would have the same print settings for her file. This seems to only happen with photoshop. Not Preview, not safari, nor any other program.
We're seriously considering moving back to CS4.
...at least that had contact sheets.

Why can't I print from CS5? Mac and Snow Leopard

I can't print from CS5. I have a Canon Pro 9000 MKII, and all drivers are up to date. Whenever I need to print I have to close the image and reopen it in CS4. I have an iMac running Snow Leopard and can print from all other programs.
When I do try to print from CS5, I get a dialog box (see attached). If I click the "Cancel" button (the only option) the print command in the menu is grayed out until I restart CS5. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

One other thing to try is changing the name of the printer queue, which may convince Photoshop and the system that it's a different printer, so old print settings will not be used.
Open your System Preferences, select "Print & Fax", and then select your printer.
Click the "Open Print Queue..." button. When that opens, select the "Printer Setup" icon (it should be rightmost in the top row), and then change the name of the printer. and OK.
