Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities

I need to send a Photoshop PDF file to an outside vendor to be printed. If the printer only needs to print the file and doesn't need to open it up in photoshop and do any editing of any sort, can I de-click Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities?

If size is of any concern it would even seem advisable.
(So long as You keep the original psd-file at least.)

"Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" is incompatitable [error message?]

I've got a frustrating problem that is screwing up my photoshop files. The problem starts
when I try to save my file (it has numerous layers) as a pdf. When I save my file as a pdf I get a pop up message saying "Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" is incompatitable with earlier versions of Phootshop. In earlier versions, you must open the PDF as a Generic PDF (not as a Photoshop PDF). Do you want to continue?"
When I click yes, it saves the file as a pdf. BUT when I go back to open my photoshop file, all of my layers have been merged, thus making my file worthless.
I realize I somehow must have changed a setting, but Im clueless to what it might have been. Has anyone ever come across this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Did you check the Layers option in the Save As dialog?

I I keep gettKeep getting "Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" Error

I purchased this resume template online and had no problems saving it as a Photoshop PDF file with the original file.
But once I made my own changes to the resume template, as seen below I kept getting the "I keep getting the error "Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" is incompatitable with earlier versions of Phootshop. In earlier versions, you must open the PDF as a Generic PDF (not as a Photoshop PDF)" whenever I save my file as a Photoshop PDF.
I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a Macbook Retina Display. I made sure I checked the "Layers" in the "Saved As" dialog, so not sure why its causing my Photoshop PDF files to look faint.
I've had friends open the PDF in their computers and they see the same problem, so I'm sure it has nothing to do with my computer. I feel it has to do with a layer or my settings, but have no idea what is causing this issue. Please help!

You seem to have two different issues.
I kept getting the "I keep getting the error "Preserve photoshop editing capabilities" is incompatitable with earlier versions of Phootshop.
So save a psd and turn off the »Preserve …« checkbox in the pdf dialog when a saving a pdf copy off of that.
Please consider the distinction between »error« and »alert«.
why its causing my Photoshop PDF files to look faint.
I think the issue of faulty font display in pdfs created with Photoshop CS6 has been reported multiple times, but I can’t remember any conclusive solution (converting to shape layers would result in unsearchable text); you may want to do a Forum search.

Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities

When saving out a PDF, unchecking the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" checkbox results in a smaller file because it's not emedding "another copy" of all information that Illustrator would use to open the PDF if you tried to open the resultant PDF in Illustrator.
When saving out a PDF, unchecking the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" checkbox the data in hidden layers is excluded from the file . . . right?
Now for my question: Then why does deleting hidden layers right before saving a PDF with "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" unchecked result in an even smaller PDF?

Thanks for your response!
layers that you've deselected
I haven't "deselected" layers, I've deleted them, right before saving the PDF.
And you're right, it's when I delete hidden layers that contain raster bitmap information that I see an even further decrease in filesize.
But, when I DON'T delete layers with rasters in them and save out a PDF with "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" turned OFF, leaving the hidden layers at the time of saving and then open the resultant PDF in Illustrator, the data in those layers hidden at the time of saving is NOT there - so then what downsampling? If supposedly downsampled rasters ARE NOT even saved in the non "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" PDF?

Multiple-page Adobe pdf file and preserving editing capabilities problem

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, moved it to a new computer, reregistered, and now am unable to use any of the edit capabilities. Help?

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, moved it to a new computer, reregistered, and am still unable to use any of the edit capabilities. Help?

We always like to know what solutions work. The other options that would cause problems include:
1. the file is either secured or a PDF/A
2. you need to update Acrobat (Help>Updates)

Photos no longer stacking after Photoshop Edit

I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 running on a Mac. I have the box checked to stack edited with originals.
I recently moved all of my photos to a an external Raid 1 drive - I did this within Lightroom, so that Lightroom knew where everything was. Everything seemed to be fine.
Today, I realized that after going to Photoshop and coming back into Lightroom, my photos are not stacking. Not only are they not stacking, but according to Lightroom they are not in the same folder, even though they are.
I am not working from a collection, I am working from the actual folder structure on the drive. If I go to photoshop, edit, save and come back, when it returns to Lightroom, where normally the new edited Tiff would pop up - now it returns a black screen, saying "no photo selected". If I go to the library module, the screen is still black. If I go the top of Lightroom and click on "All Photographs" the tiff file is there next to the picture. However, it is not stacked. If I try to stack it, it says that it can't stack photos that are stored in different folders.
I don't know where Lightroom is putting this Tiff file. The folder that I was editing from had 20 photos in it. I went into photoshop, came back with a tiff, and there are still only 20 photos in the folder, yet if I go up to all photos, it is there, so Lightroom put it somewhere.
When I go look at my external hard drive, the tiff file is there. It is right next the raw. In the same folder. So, it seems that Photoshop is putting it back in the right folder, but Lightroom is not.
Thanks,
Pam

Okay, just realized that it is putting the tiff files in a another copy of the Gmax Mini. You can see in the screen shot that it has my working drive, and then a second version of the Gmax Mini, with just the Tiff files in it! Is this because it is a Raid 1?

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Photoshop edited image not appearing back in Aperture!!

I'm a Lightroom user but thought I'd try out Aperture 3 for a new project to see if I prefer it.
I scanned in an old family photo album and imported them into Aperture. Some of the photos got torn as I removed them from the pages (they were glued!!) so I thought I'd repair them in Photoshop and also try to remove the paper texture that also got 'scanned' for some of the photos.
When I choose the option "Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS4", I can see a TIFF copy is created and it appears alongside the original image in the viewer. I can also see the physical file in Finder.
However, after I finish editing the image in Photoshop, and save and close it, switch back to Aperture, the TIFF image just disappears from the viewer.
I checked to see if a stack is created, but there isn't one. The physical file still exists in Finder though.
I tried manually importing the edited TIFF image back into the project, but it still doesn't appear!!!
The Aperture library file has increased though, so it seems like something has happened but I just can't seem to access my Photoshop edited image in Aperture.
I have tried this a few times, with different photos, but get the same results.
The other option I tried was regenerating thumbnails for the project but still nothing happens.
Anyone have any suggestions, what's going on??

How did you fix this? I'm having a similar problem!

After editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4

after editing in photoshop cs6 my photoshop edited image does not appear in Lightroom 4 can anyone help?

In Library, set your sort order to Filename instead of Added order and see if the files show up, then.
How are you doing the Save in PS, using Save or Save As—one will show up, one won’t, I think, but I don’t remember which.

Referenced Vs. Managed work with Photoshop editing

How Referenced Vs. Managed work with Photoshop editing
1) My photos are saved on a local hard drive
2) IF, When editing with Photoshop i like to save over the original since i never like the original to begin with.
3) Any I make other light changes like filters I do not save over the original.
Where do the Photoshop edit versions go. i tried playing with just one Folder. Imported one folder as managed and one as referenced..... and can't find the edited version? Am I saving it wrong? I tried TIFF I tried Jpeg…..
Also when i imported the folder as a managed file i still saw the original folder under "pictures" does that mean it's on my hard drive twice, once in Pictures and once in the Aperture Library? That would take up too much space.
Thanks in advance, Orly

Got it. Thanks!
I just wish i could figure out the Photoshop part.....
I want to continue using it while i am learning Aperture..... But the copies desapear POOF. It only reflects if I work in Managed and Save it as "Replace".
The option to 'Replace' sounds like you are using Photoshop Elements?
I run the full version of Photoshop (which doesn't have a 'Replace' command), so I don't know the full extent of the saving options of PS Elements. I do know there are a few preference options for importing and saving which can change the behavior so you might check with the PS Elements help system if that is what you are running.
Also, you might check the thread linked below for some tips:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20310393#20310393
Note - with the full version of Photoshop (I use CS6); the process is as William specified where one needs to use the 'Save' command to save the file directly back to Aperture to reflect the edits. There is also an Apple provided tip here:

Hope this helps.

Using an iMac for Photoshop editing

Hi. I'm a photographer and have been using a 17" MacBook Pro for the last 5 years and doing all my Photoshop editing on it. The MacBook has served me well but has developed a hardware issue and requires a new logic board. Rather than sink $500 or so into the repair I am considering spending a little more and upgrading to a slightly newer used 21.5" iMac. It's a mid 2010 model. Are there any Photoshop users out there that have been using iMacs and are happy (or unhappy) w/ the performance of their machines in regard to image editing? I'm particularly concerned about image quality as displayed on the iMac screen. Thanks for any feedback anyone cares to offer.
Here are some of the specs on the iMac I'm considering:
Dual core 3.06 GHz processor
8 GB Ram
500 GB 7200 RPM HD
256 MB VRAM

I use PS CS3 on a 2009, 27 inch iMac with the same CPU and GPU specs and I am not having any issues.
I have a 1 TB HD installed, though.
If you purchase this iMac, I would increase the RAM to the max. 16 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Photoshop likes fast CPU, lots of RAM and lots of hard drive space for scratch disk areas.
The GPU while not that impressive, but serviceable for 3D and video work, will be more than fine for 2D Photoshop work.

Photo editing capabilities: Lightroom vs Photoshop/Photoshop Elements

Hi,
I have a question about the features in lightroom. I'm not yet a photoshop user so I hope people can understand if I don't use the right terms. It seems from the web site that lightroom is a photo editor and a image file organizer. If I don't need a image file organizer is there any reason to buy lightroom instead of photoshop or photoshop elements. Does lightroom have image editing features that are not in photoshop elements or not in the full version of photoshop?
Thanks
Message title was edited by: Brett N

Thanks again. I think the biggest concern that I have at this point is how this catalog transfer process will deal with my PSE images that I have stored offline on DVDs. Let me explain...
To save disk space, my process is to import RAW files into PSE Organizer, tag them, rate them, then move the images to a DVD. This allows me to see the image as a large thumbnail in the Organizer, complete with all the tags, but keeps the huge files off my hard drive and puts them on inexpensive, reliable media. Then, if I ever need to access the full image, I simply put in the DVD and the full image is instantly available, where it can be moved back to the harddrive if needed for edits or printing. I probably have 30 or so DVDs of images and the PSE organizer tracks all of them flawlessly. I've even moved .psd files to DVD to free up harddrive space, and the Organizer still lets me know that I have that offline .psd file available and also the name of the DVD of where it lives. I love this approach... keeping the big image files separate from the catalog (especially images that I rarely need access to, but don't want to remove from the catalog). I'd say 80% of my Organizer catalog is comprised of these offline images and having only the thumbnails in the catalog works great for me.
From your earlier replies (#9 and #13 above), it sounds like Lr won't transfer these thumbnails when I move the PSE Catalog to Lr. If I need to move ALL of those offline images to my harddrive before I do the "Upgrade Catalog" command, that will be a huge problem. I simply don't have the free space available. So Ideally, I want to transfer the thumbnails, tags, metadata, and offline file location information from my PSE Organizer catalog to the Lr Organizer, and I would like to do that without having to load DVDs. Is this possible? If not, I haven't been able to find any procedure outlined anywhere that addresses this specific situation... Can it be done one DVD at a time? Thanks.

Photoshop Elements capabilities question

I need to design a 7"x14" instert for a CD binder. Is Photoshop Elements enough or should I go with something else. I have no plans on doing any web based design but want the ability to creat a "semi-professional" insert. thank you!

You can make your own template and add images and text.
Click File >> Open and select all of your photos
That will add them to the project bin
Then select File >> New >> Blank File
Select background color White (or whatever you prefer) and add your width and height for your final image (set resolution 72 for web usage or 240 to 300 for printing) then click OK
In the project bin click your first photo and drag it up into the main window on top of your new background.
Click on the move tool and click in the center of the photo and drag to arrange it where you want on the background - you can hold down the shift key to maintain original proportions whilst dragging the corner handles of the bounding box to get the size you want.
Do the same with the next photo (drag it up into the main window) and use the move tool to position it. Then continue with each image.
Finally Click Layer >>Flatten image and save as jpeg. (Save as PSD if you want to preserve the layers for editing again)
N.B. as you add images they get dropped in the center. So you need to use the move tool to drag them apart. Click in the middle of one and move it around, and then the others until you get them positioned as you want.
