Presets--I need help

I have two PCs running XP with 2G Ram...CS3 and Lightroom in both. I down loaded some free WOW presets from Jack Davis. The presets work in CS3 (Camera Raw) and Lightroom one the other PC...They work in Lightroom in this PC but not in Camera Raw.
This is where it shows them loaded in both computers.

Any help/suggestions/ideas wouldbe greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • Configuring Capture Presets (v. need help)

    Background info: MBP with Final Cut express HD, using a DVD-R camcorder(Hitachi
    DZ-MV580A).
    I previously captured video via fire wire about a week ago, however this time it is via USB.
    I believe the reason why I can't capture video at the moment is because it is now connected with USB. FCE HD is telling me to change the capture presets..problem is I do not know where to go in order to do so. I appreciate any help!

    I gave that option an attempt. Didn't work. My MBP doesn't initially read the camera. I plug camera in via USB, turn on camera, no response. Sometimes the MBP reads the plugged in camera as a DVD...and then my dvd-drive starts loading.

  • I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

    I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
    Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
    Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
    Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
    I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
    Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
    Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
    The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
    Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
    Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.

  • I still use Aperture 2.1.4.  I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile.  Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue.  Help?

    I still use Aperture 2.1.4.  I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile.  Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue.  Help?  Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

    Thanks for your response.  My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:   
    These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging.  Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them.  Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement.  I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past.  However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices).  I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space.  I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me.  I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether.  Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter.  The reach of this community is astounding.

  • NEED HELP! - Installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick

    NEED HELP! -installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick.
    I am attempting to install the Camera Raw Presets. 
    It says to put them into User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings... 
    When I get to CameraRaw the ONLY folders in there are CameraProfiles & Lens Profiles. 
    I have searched everywhere looking for a CameraRaw-Settings folder and cannot find one. 
    I have latest version of CameraRaw installed and still no settings folder. 
    I even attempted to find it by looking in camera raw where it has saved the custom settings I made as presets and it shows that they are saved but will not show me where. 
    I am using CS5 specifically Photoshop v12.0.4 and Bridge. I have Lightroom 4. I have iMac OS  10.7.3
    Do I need to reinstall Camera Raw and how do you do that?
    Will I then lose my presets that I made in CameraRaw?  
    Thanks for your help

    Here is a note from the ACR 7.1 beta release.  http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw7-1/?tabID=details
    Perhaps this answers question.
    Frequently Asked Questions
    Why is it no longer required to place the plug-in file in the specified directory on my hard drive?
    The Camera Raw update process has grown to include lens profile and camera profile files which are easiest to install via a single installer process instead of updating several different directories manually.

  • I need help convincing my workflow administrator on Illustrator PDF presets.

    I need help convincing my workflow administrator on Illustrator PDF presets.
    I work at a company which prints folding cartons, pressure sensitive labels, and film packaging. Esko Automation Engine 12 is our primary workflow. We use PDF files saved directly out of Illustrator as the primary file format. At times, the size of an art file can get fairly bloated from scaled images, effects, transparency, etc. The workflow and Ilustrator have a hard time dealing with the file size. It has been suggested to use the "export" function under the File Menu and save the art file as a "normalized PDF". I honestly believe Distiller isn't even remotely involved when you do this. I tried to make the case to use the settings in the dialog box which appears when you save a PDF out of Illustrator. I know for a fact that this dialog box isn't any different from what you see in Distiller. From my years of experience with Kodak Prinergy, I know things like bicubic downsampling, etc. will not hurt the file. The workflow administrator thinks otherwise. Can anybody point me in the direction of Illustrator PDF presets that would convince him otherwise?

    Brian,
    What is somewhat confusing in your post is your mentioning a capability to export PDF from the File Menu as a normalized PDF file. There is no such option in Adobe Illustrator, at least as it comes directly from Adobe. You may use the File=>Save As dialog to save the file as a PDF file, but PDF is not an option under File=>Export. Furthermore, in terms of the .joboptions provided by Adobe, there is no Normalized PDF joboptions settings.
    You mention Esko. Is it possible that you have one of Esko's products installed that provides proprietary plug-ins to Adobe Illustrator? If so, that may be the source of this Normalized PDF option. Maybe some other participant in the is forum knows more about that, but at Adobe, we don't (for better or worse).
    You mention problems with file bloat due to “scaled images, effects, transparency, etc.” Are you referring to the Illustrator .AI files or to PDF files created from same? If the issue is the .AI file size, the only thing you can do to fix that is to uncheck the save as compatible PDF file option when saving .AI. In terms of PDF files from Adobe Illustrator:
    (1)  Scaled images should not add anything to a PDF file size unless you take such images and attempt to upres them in Photoshop prior to creating PDF. There really is no benefit to be achieved by such upresing of the images; any competent RIP can do that itself just as well as Photoshop.
    (2)  Transparency only adds to the PDF file size if you create PDF with transparency already flattened, or what I would better describe as ruined. Flattening transparency often causes large raster bitmaps and/or very complex groups of vector objects to be created to simulate transparency in an opaque imaging model (such as is supported by PostScript).
    You obviously need to produce PDF that can be accommodated by the rest of your workflow. Since we don't know what that is and whether it conforms to current best industry practices, we cannot make an absolute recommendation for you.
    However, generally speaking, the most reliable PDF print publishing workflow would generally require that you create PDF/X-4 using the PDF/X-4 PDF preset from Adobe Illustrator (or for that matter, from InDesign as well). PDF/X-4 supports full ICC color management (including spot colors), the entire PDF imaging model, and live transparency.

  • All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW.  This is for all of my photos.  I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so it goes to Default. thanks

    Go to the develop module and highlight all of the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. Then activate Auto-sync and click on the Reset button. That should reset all of the images to your camera default settings.

  • Need help with compression rates with Sorenson Squeeze 6, Compressor3.5.2

    Hopefully somebody can help me with this...
    I am running Sorenson Squeeze 6 on a Mac to try and compress some Apple ProRes 422 videos into an MPEG-2 file. The file will be played in a DirectX application, running on a PC with Windows 7. When being played it looks to be heavily compressed, and I need help with some of the compression settings.
    Let me get more into detail...
    So I have received a Quicktime .mov that has been encoded with FCP using Apple ProRes 422 compression at 720x486 , 29.97 fps, 40.29 Mbit/s , and the file size is 515.7mb.
    So, this is the type of file I will have to compress into an MPEG-2, that will be playing on a...
    1.6 GHz Intel Atom 330 Dual Core
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Graphics
    1Gb DDR2 800 Ram
    32Gb SATA Solid State Drive
    Windows 7 Home
    Here is what I have done so far on my Mac using Sorenson Squeeze 6 :
    I have brought the original file in and created some presets.
    First off, I am encoding these MPEG-2 videos using an elementary stream type so I can mux the files using MPEG Streamclip...
    Here is a screenshot of the settings I am using in Sorenson :
    - I have changed many of the data rate settings as low as 3000 Kbps, and as high as 15,000 Kbps, and the end result looks essentially the same
    - The audio isn't a problem, so I'm not going to address that.
    - I have used the crop/deinterlace filter and also not used the filter, and it makes a big difference, so obviously it needs to be deinterlaced.
    From there I will get the .m2v file and the .m2a file, and then mux those with MPEG Streamclip.
    So, I have done 8 different Pre-sets all with various settings playing primarily with the data rate, and the method from 2-pass vbr all the way to 1-pass cbr.
    So again, my end result that is playing back on the windows 7 box (the specs that are listed above) looks to be heavily compressed and pixelation occurs.
    - I have also done the exact same with Apple's Compressor, and have gotten better results muxing while compressing, however the end result still tends to be the same, however the end result is much better. I have gone through 8 or so different compression export settings, and just overall still have the same issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • I bought a hp d3000 and can'nt get it to download to premiere elements,need help!

    I bought a hp d3000 and can'nt download to preiere elements 11. need help!

    As for the video specifications for your HP D3000. From what I read, you are either shooting 1280 x 720 at 30 frames per second or 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second. And, your video is MotionJPEG.avi. Can you confirm that?
    http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/hewlett-packard-hp-16-1mp-21x-optical-zoom-digital- camera-d3000-black-hpd3000/10239990.aspx
    If you are shooting 1280 x 720 at 30 frames per second, I would suggest the following, whichever works:
    a. transfer the video from the camera to a computer hard drive save location.
    b. Open Premiere Elements 11, go to File Menu/New/Project and in the new project dialog set the project preset YOURSELF to NTSC HDV HDV 720p30, making sure that you place a check mark next to "Force selected Project Setting for this project". Then via ADD MEDIA, Files and Folders, browse to an bring your MotionJPEG.avi into the project (Project Assets).
    or
    a. if doable, attach at USB cable from your camera's USB 2.0 port (it has one according to what I read online) to the computer USB 2.0 or 3.0 port
    b. then open a Premiere Elements 11 new project - File Menu/New/Project and in the new project dialog set the project preset YOURSELF to NTSC HDV HDV 720p30, making sure that you place a check mark next to "Force selected Project Setting for this project". Then via ADD MEDIA, "Vidoes from Flip or Camera"/Video Importer and its Advanced Dialog bring your video into the project.
    In these cases the project preset will match your source media (no black borders in the monitor space when you edit). If the program has a problem selecting the project preset, as it wants to do, you will probably end up with the default 1080i30 instead of 720p30 unless you step in and do this project preset setting yourself.
    Please review and let us know the outcome.
    Thanks.

  • Need help with Watermarks

    Hey everyone. Heres what I'm doing.
    In photoshop elements 4, I have created a new file about 850px wide.
    I made sure that the Background Contents drop down box is set to Transparent.
    I select the text type tool, set it to 48pt, color = white.
    I drag the tool across the canvas and type "PROOF"
    I save as PSD file.
    When I export in Aperture, I have selected the Export preset that has the watermark file selected. When I open the exported file, I get my image and on top of it is the word proof but it is surrounded by a black box.
    I'm sure I'm doing something incorrectly but please, any help would be appreciated.
    I'm using Aperture 1.5.2.
    Here is an example:
    http://www.eternaltreasuresphotography.com/files/messedup.jpg

    Umm, wow... Thanks for being so friendly. Let me address some of the rather accusatory remarks that you made...
    #1. "Notoriously poor form".... I apologize that I'm not up on message board etiquette. I do not typically spend a lot of time on message boards unless I "REALLY" need help.
    #2. I've been searching this board for hours trying to find the answer. No joy. Of course, I have found quite a few smart a$$ remarks like yours that doesnt help anyone.
    #3. I haven't determined that it's apples problem. As a matter of fact, in my original post, I admitted that it was probably something that I was doing wrong. Pretty much why I'm asking for help.
    #4. I saved the file as a PSD file maintaining the layers. Actually, this was in my original post, too. Did you even read it?? Or was your intent just to flame me because I was trying to get some help with this issue after 10 hours of trying. I may or may not understand "how to save an alpha". Thats why I posted what I was doing here to see if someone would be friendly and kind enough to help me.
    #5. I've went through the procedure about 20 times. (And, no, thats not an exaggeration). I get the black box every single time.

  • Need help to develop Pythagoras theorem-

    Hi i need help to develop proofs 2,3,4
    of pythagoras theorems in java as demonstrations
    These are applets can anyone help me with it or give me an idea of how to go about developing it -
    the site is the following
    http://www.uni-koeln.de/ew-fak/Mathe/Projekte/VisuPro/pythagoras/pythagoras.html
    then double click on the screen to make it start

    Pardon my ASCII art, but I've always liked the following, simple, geometric proof:
         a                   b
    ---------------------------------------+
    |       |                                |
    a|   I   |              II                |
    |       |                                |
    ---------------------------------------+
    |       |                                |
    |       |                                |
    |       |                                |
    |       |                                |
    |       |                                |
    b|  IV   |              III               |
    |       |                                |
    |       |                                |
    |       |                                |
    |       |                                |
    |       |                                |
    |       |                                |
    ---------------------------------------+It almost goes without saying that I+II+III+IV == (a+b)^2, and II == IV == a*b,
    I == a*a and III == b*b, showing that (a+b)^2 == a^2+a*b+a*b+b^2.
    I hope the following sketch makes sense, stand back, ASCII art alert again:     a                   b

                     a                    bThe total area equals (a+b)^2 again and equals the sum of the smaller areas:
    (a+b)^2 == V+VI+VII+VIII+IX. Let area IX be c^2 for whatever c may be.
    V+VII == VI+VIII == a*b, so a^2+b^2+2*ab= c^2+2*a*b; IOW a^2+b^2 == c^2
    Given this fundamental result, the others can easily be derived from this one,
    or did I answer a question you didn't ask?

  • Need help to open audios attached in a PDF file

    Hello
    I just need help. I have ordered a reviewer online that has audios and texts in a pdf file. I was told to download the latest adobe reader on my computer. I have done the same thing on my ipad mini. I am not so technical with regards to these things. Therefore I need help. I can access the audios on my computer but not on my ipad.
    I want to listen to audios with scripts or texts on them so i can listen to them when i am on the go. I was also informed that these files should work in any device. How come the audios doesnt work on my ipad.
    Please help me on what to do.
    Thanks

    Audio and video are not currently support on Adobe Reader. :-<
    You need to buy a PDF reader that supports them. My suggestion is PDF Expert from Readdle ($US 9.99)
