Problem saving PSD explorer icons/thumbnails - video

Hello,
I have a setting problem with CS5 and I'm really lost.
At some time in the past when I saved a psd file I would have an icon or thumbnail in explorer. No it doesn't save those thumbs. Actually it saves them but they appear to be corrupt.
I'm running win7 and I have a dll (don't remember which one) that allows for the preview thumb in explorer so I know it's an issue with cs5.
Here's a 1 minute vid showing what's up.
Can anyone lend a guy a hand?
Doug

Yes it was sage. I just did a quick search from the start menu, up popped a 'repair sage'. Gave that a go but no change.
I don't think it is sage because I can still see older saved files and their thumbs, but, once I open and resave the thumb disappears.
As for Bridge, I'll be honest I don't know how bridge works and have never used it.
Just noticed one of the thumbs did change, I preview it irfran and the thumb image says that it wasn't saved with a "composite image".

Problem saving PSD file in Illustrator

I have several files that I created in PSCS3. They are all simple, with two or three flat colors, one color per layer, no effects, shadows, etc. My client is having these printed in China using a type of silk screening process on mug-like items. The printer in China has asked me to resend the files in Illustrator. I am not familiar with Illustrator, but do own a copy of CS3, so I opened my PS file, dragged it to the AI icon and saved it as a layered AI file. The problem is that when I print it out on my Epson printer the AI file looks a little more fuzzy around the edges than the PS file. I checked Document Raster Effects setting in AI (a warning said it was at 72 dpi) and changed it to 300 dpi. That helped a little. But, there still is a small difference so I am wondering if there is anything else I can do to make the objects appear as smooth in AI as they are in PS. I am a little out of my depth here so I hope someone can help. Thanks so much!

I received this response from the Illustrator forum:
"Unless you properly vectorize everything, there is no point in just embedding the PSDs in AI. Since you speak of "simple, with two or three flat colors", I'm afraid you started off on the completely wrong foot by doing it in PS in the first place. This screams "it needs to be vector" all over the place, the reason being that for silk screen you create a sieve mask for each color and for maximum sharpness of these masks, vectors work better. It's not an ultimate requirement, though, but based on that info, as a minor you must familiarize yourself with how to create spot color separations using multichannel/duoton/tritone documents in Photoshop. It may still cause fuzzy edges, but at least you should get clean colors. Otherwise you need to learn AI and re-draw all elements there, assigning proper color swatches which then could be used to create proper separations..."
I would appreciate being directed to a good tutorial on how to create the spot color separations in Photoshop spoken of here-is there one anyone recommends? Thanks!

When round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

JPanel Scrollable mimic Windows Explorer Icon View

I am developing an image viewer application, and I want my thumbnail image JPanel to mimic MS Windows Explorer's layout in icon view. However, I have not been able to accomplish this. I have searched high and low, finding many others with my same problem, but no solution. To see exactly what I want to mimic, go to Windows Explorer and take a look at Icon View.
Windows Explorer seems to be using a type of FlowLayout, and the icons get wrapped to the next line. If the number of icons exceeds the viewable space, the vertical scrollbar appears. Note that there is no horizontal scrolling; only vertical scrolling with the FlowLayout. If the user adjusts the SplitPane, then the layout adjusts the scrolling and icons accordingly.
============================================================
QUESTION: How can I get my JPanel to mimic Windows Explorer Icon View?
============================================================
10 Dukes to anyone who can get this to mimic Windows Explorer. Ideally the solution would not be too involved.
P.S. I think it stinks that JPanel, by design, does not implement Scrollable Interface. Even then, it doesn't work the way I want it to with my FlowLayout and only vertical scrolling. Does anyone understand why it doesn't implement Scrollable, like JTextArea, JEditorPane, etc. do?
Thanks
Wayne

Thanks camickr! I didn't try your layout manager since I managed to find another one which seems to do the trick as well. Here is the link from which I found it:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=c43ovb%242db505%241%40ID-76750.news.uni-berlin.de&output=gplain
It seems that in the source there is a small bug which is easy to fix. I think the boolean parameters in minimumLayoutSize and preferredLayoutSize should be changed.
So in minimumLayoutSize():
return computeSize(target, true);and in preferredLayoutSize():
return computeSize(target, false);After that fix, it worked just fine for me.

Adobe Reader XI and Firefox 17.0.1 problems saving multiple PDFs

Hello,
I am running Adobe Reader XI (the most recent version as of my writing this), Firefox 17.0.1, and Windows 7 SP1. I am trying to save multiple PDFs but I am only able to save one at a time before having to restart firefox. Here is the chain of events:
I open a PDF in a new browser window
I click "Save" on the toolbar
I select the location and save my new PDF
I close the window and return to open an additional PDF
The PDF opens in a new window
I click the save button (see step 2)
The button is present and animates when I click
Nothing else happens (i.e., no prompt to select the save file location)
I get upset
I restart firefox
Repeat steps 1-10 for additional PDFs
I have a whole bunch of class lectures in PDF that I would like to save so I can study offline. Please Help!
Thanks,
T

I just tried this (Reader XI & Firefox 17.0.1), opening PDFs
in the same tab as the link
in a new tab
in a new window
all had no problem with saving; the explorer windows opened each time in My Documents folder. I do not know why this does not work for you.
Suggestion: if you have links to these online PDFs, right-click on the link, then select 'Save link as...'; that is anyway quicker than opening and saving the files.

The Finder is not refreshing the icon thumbnail after copying

The Finder is not refreshing the icon thumbnail after copying.
I tried copying a couple of foders from the internal HD to a USB drive and the resulting icons kept an empty progress...
WHY????

Hello,
It looks like possibly a Permissions problem... the X above the folder.
In Finder do a Get Info on that drive, or the folders on that drive that you're trying to copy to.
Úgy néz ki, mint esetleg egy Engedélyek probléma ... X felett a mappát.
A kereső nem egy Get Info a meghajtón, vagy a mappákat a meghajtón, hogy akarsz másolni.

Problem Saving Files CS5

After years of no problems I am suddenly having a problem saving files. This started with CS4 a few months ago, and has continued with CS5.
When I attempt to Save As... I get an error message:
Could not save as "{location & filename}" because the file is already in use or was left open by another application.
The only place the file could be considered "in use" or "left open" would be due to Bridge.
I get this error message whether saving as jpg, psd or any other file type. If I retry saving the file then it will usually save properly after several attempts. But if I close Bridge then it will save the first time every time. I get the same error whether saving as the original file name or with a new name.
I have been using Bridge to preview and select the images I want to edit for a very long time. But this problem didn't start showing up until a short time ago, so I wonder about a problem introduced with an update?? Those who use Bridge know that it remains running in the background while the image is processed through Camera RAW and PS. There has never been a reason to close Bridge when working in PS and it is not very convenient to do so just to save a file.
If anyone has a solution to this I would like to hear about it.
Thanks,

Hi Jimcarke,
My problem is very similar. Just Upgraded to CS5 from CS4.
Graphic files, no problem. I can save 80Mb and 30 layered mixed graphic files, even after editing.
No JPEG's in the stack though. Perhaps I'll have a look at that!
With simple JPEG's at 1.9mb, after editing, then as soon as I enter 'Save As,' Bingo the great blank screen'
Problem seems worse if I get as far as rotating the image, then everything disappears instantly.
Customer services have suggested all the usual remedies and now I can't open a file or edit anything
I'm back to the insufficient RAM issue.
I've just 'given up' and back to CS4 again and will try to get some work done for the morning.
All good fun and an interesting way to spend a very sunny Sunday afternoon. (GB)
Regards
John

Saving PSD Files in Photoshop CS5.5

Hi,
I am new to photoshop and I am having a problem saving my layers in PSD Photoshop cs5.5. I created 4 layers and they all look great. the screen shot of my properties panel looks like this:
The problem is that after saving it as a PSD file and during the save process the layers box is checked, it wont open with all layers. So if I close the original that has all 4 layers and then reoping it after its saved, its not the same. The picture looks proper and all layers are in the picture, but on the side properties panel it looks like this
Please help, because now I am not able to edit this picture later if I like because I cant select the individual layers.
Thanks,
Rylan

Did you drag it into Photoshop on top of an already open canvas to open it? Try dragging it to the BORDER of Photoshop instead.

How to do the File Explore Icon?

How to do the File Explore Icon?
If you are window user, you simply open My Document folder.
Is there possible to make My Document interface?
Can anyone expert give some hints or guide or key word how can I draw the Icon that appear at right handside below?
I try to do a Virtual File System, that user cannot see his/her local system. Every transaction will be done one the interface that I created...
Thank you...

Hello Govind,
Make the target str as below
<root>
<Row>
<OrderNo></OrderNo>
<OrderDesc></OrderDesc>
<Matno></Matno>,
<Desc></Desc>
<Qty></Qty>
<UOM></UOM>
</Row>
</root>
The mapping for elements
<Matno>,<Desc>,<Qty>,<UOM> is straight-forward. The node <Row> can be mapped to <OrderItem> node in source. For orderNo and OrderDesc you need to use advanced UDF (with entire queue cached) as below.
public void getOrderNo(String[] a,String[] b,ResultList result, Container container){
/Declare a vector to store unique Order Numbers /Order Desc/
Vector vOno = new Vector();
     for (int i = 0;i<a.length;i++){
     if (a<i>.equals()ResultList.CC) continue;
     /Add distinct Order numbers to the vector/
     if(!vOno.contains(a<i>)) vOno.add(a<i>);
int headerCounter = 0;
String value = new String();
value = (String) vOno.get(headerCounter);
     for (int j = 0;j<b.length;j++){
     /When context changes, move to next order no/
     if (b[j].equals()ResultList.CC){
                   headerCounter++;
                   value = (String) vOno.get(headerCounter);
                  continue;
     /Repeat the current order number/Order Desc until a context change occurs/
     result.addValue(value);
The mapping for OrderNo can be like below:
Pass <Order No> from Header to the UDF as array a[] and <OrderItem> from Item as array b[]. Take the output of the function and make it SplitByValue the result of which can be passed to OrderNo. The context of both < Order No> and <OrderItem> has to be one level higher.
Similar mapping for OrderDesc can be made using the same UDF
I hope that resolves your problem.
Regards
Amit

PSD File Icons don't display in Windows 8.1?

PSD File Icons don't display in Windows 8.1. How to fix?

You would have to buy a third party codec for thumbnail displays that Windows doesn't support.
Ardfry Imaging, LLC
So why should you have to pay?
I have many years ago tried to get Microsoft to implement thumbnail support to no avail.
So in the end, Ardfrey's codec takes care of it for $20, free upgrades and I can get on with any work that requires thumbnails at the OS level.

Saving .psd as .jpg crashes Photoshop CS4

I recently upgraded to CS4, and am having a problem saving a flattened .psd file to .jpg (saving to any other format works just fine). When I try to save as a .jpg (RGB, 8-bit), the program partially locks up, and no .jpg file is created. The File menu has only two or three options, including Close and Open As, but I cannot actually select these options. All other menu options are grayed out; no tools work. I cannot quit Photoshop in this state without using Task Manager.
Any ideas about what's going on? Thanks!

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Having problems saving files in CS2

I'm learning the program: Classroom in a book from InDesign CS2. In the beginning when the file was small I was having no problem saving the doc. But after The doc got bigger and I had done many things to it, I would save the doc, the save word in file was gray as it is suppose to be, then I would close the file. When I reopened the doc all my work would be gone. I have recreated this 3 times now and the same thing keeps happening, NO SAVED FILE. What am I doing wrong??? Thank you advance for your help, Sherrine

How are you opening the file (double-clicking an icon, File > Open,
File > Open Recent, etc.)? Are you saving/opening over a network? It
sounds to me like you may be opening the wrong file. Try doing some work
on the file, and then Save As to a unique name. Then use File > Open
Recent to open the file and see if your changes are there.

Overlaying a PSD from Photoshop Over Video!

I have a video shot where a man in the audience gets up and walks away. In the past with CS3 I have been able to export a frame of video, import that frame into Photoshop and create a still of the man who stood up (but it would be a still of him sitting down). Then I would delete the rest of the image in Photoshop, save as a psd and bring the psd back into premiere. I would put the psd over the shot of the man standing and cover up his movement while the rest of the shot plays normally.
I tried doing this in cs4 the other day and when I brought the psd back into premiere the color didn’t quite match the video so I applied a color correction to the psd. It applied the color correction to the psd layer of the man and the video on the video layer below it. I don’t want to change the color on my video and only want to change the color on my psd to match the video.
I have to know how to do this now! How do I fix this?

Ok, I found that the Tiffs before being imported into Photoshop did not match the video. So the problem was in premiere. After doing some digging and asking around I found the solution.
I had the sequence selected that I wished to export the still frame from and went to:
Sequence>Sequence Setting> and changed the Video Luma Setting from Post Production to Broadcast.
When Broadcast was selected all tiffs being exported from premiere matched the video on the timeline.
I did not have to change anything else in photoshop.

I am having problems saving certain images

I am having problems saving certain images. For example, on Ebay while viewing an auction item, when you click on the image to view the larger picture it opens in a new window. With Internet Explorer, you can "right-click" and "save picture as". With Firefox 3.6.9 the "save picture as" option is not availabale. Other options such as save "save page as" are available, but not "save as," or "save picture as." Any ideas? Thanks

I have found a solution to the problem. Apparently there is an addon to fix this. Had no idea a specific google search for "trouble saving images on ebay" would turn up anything.
