Problem with cineon converter in CS5.5?

I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem when going from log to lin and back to log in CS 5.5.
As a test, I import a 10-bit log cin or dpx file into CS 5.5 and apply 2 instances of the Cineon Converter effect with the following settings:
1st Instance:
Conversion Type: Log to Linear
10 Bit Black Point: 95
Internal Black Point: 0
10 Bit White Point: 685
Internal White Point: 1
Gamma: 1.70
Highlight Rolloff: 0
2nd Instance:
Conversion Type: Linear to Log
10 Bit Black Point: 95
Internal Black Point: 0
10 Bit White Point: 685
Internal White Point: 1
Gamma: 1.70
Highlight Rolloff: 0
Project = 32bpc
Working Space = None
Blend Colors Using 1.0 Gamma = Off
File Interpretation = Full Range
These settings should take my image from log to lin and back with no loss of information. Unfortunately, the under-black information in the image does not survive the conversion process. I've tried several different log images and get the same results. Using the classic cineon "Marcie" calibration image as my test image illustrates this problem perfectly. All of the black that surrounds marcie shifts to a dark gray after the conversion process instead of returning to black.
Doing this same test in CS3 and CS4 works as expected - there is no loss of information. Under-blacks, over-whites and all normal range values are preserved.
Any ideas?
thanks

Yes we are having the exact same problem, the blacks shift and/or clip in CS5 and 5.5 but not CS3. This is a big problem for our workflow. Was there ever an answer to this?

Problems with site definition in CS5

I am trying to define a new site in DW CS5. When I enter the site information in the dialogue box I get the following message:
The spry assets folder is not inside the site. Please select a valid folder in your local site root.
The program automatically creates a folder for Spry assets but the error message still appears. I tried creating a new folder, but had the same results. I can't get past this screen. Why is this happening?

Randy,
Thanks for your prompt response. The problem is, if I am defining a new site, there are no pre-existing folders. I am calling my site "HF", so Dreamweaver automatically chooses "/Users/Aaron/Documents/HF/SpryAssets" as the default folder for spry assets. If I use the "browse for folder" icon, I can select another folder, but what else would I choose? (I tried choosing other folders, as well as creating a new folder, and neither worked).I'm really stumped!

Yes, it's an annoying bug. In the Site Definition dialog, go to the Advanced > Spry tab and use the "browse for folder" dialog to select your SpryAssets folder and it will fix the path for you.

Problem with textboxes in Flash CS5

Hi, I am currently a Flash CS4 user and am trying Flash CS5 currently to see if it is worth it to pay for the upgrade. I currently have a problem with the use of textboxes in CS5 comparing with the previous version. When I try to change the texts of a text box using the following command in actionscript:
showlmytext.text = "My string: " +String(somevariable);
I would get weird misaligned text outputted in my textbox, which exact same code did not cause this problem on Flash CS4.
Can somebody please tell me what is the problem and how can I fix it?
Thanks

Hi Mario,
I hope you are well. My name is Sandi Langlotz.
At my job at greenidea.com, here in SF; I am having difficulty with using Hebrew in the trial download of CS5 Flash. Russ Mumford my boss has also contacted you regarding our problem.
Flash has a new TLF (Text Layout Format tool). My difficulty has to do with text boxes that are formatted for Right to Left text, with Hebrew selected as the Locale. We are pasting from Microsoft Word.
I hope that you may have a suggestion, a referral or a possible work around for me to try.
I have tried Adobe Customer Service several times to no avail.
Problem 1.
The first sentence below, (in blue) is correct format for Hebrew. Hebrew reads from R to Left.
When I paste the Hebrew text into the Flash animation, one of two things can happen;
the punctuation is cut off of the left side completely; or it is pasted in to the Right side of the Text box, (at the wrong end of the sentence).
I have tried to click the cursor into the left in order to insert the punctuation mark; this works sometimes but often I am unable to click in to manually correct the problem. I don't understand why it is cutting it off, or why I am sometimes unable to click into the left side and insert the punctuation.
Problem 2
In the second paste (the 2nd bold sentence), .CSO on the left side of the sentence is correct, as is the rest of the sentence.
When I paste the text into Flash from Word, Flash puts it in as reversed order. the word CSO. has the punctuation switched to the right (CSO.) Flash reverses the order of the other characters in the sentence also (like in the 2nd black sentence).

Adobe says it supports Right to Left text, but I can find no info on these two buggy problems. Do you have any idea what is wrong?
Thank you ahead of time for any info or referrals you may suggest.

Problems with refine edge in CS5-no longer working properly?!

Hi all, just wondered if anyone has experienced this bizarre problem and if so how they went about fixing it or changin the settings! (i may have done something to photoshop for it not to work properly!!!)
Basically, i have got CS5 and was very excited to find the refine edge tool.... made cutting out people real easy and loved it.... however, for some reason the refine edge is not working anymore. Everytime i try to refine the edge using the refine edge tool it isnt selecting any fine details of the cut. It seems to be erasing the image with a low opacity making the selection very blurred?!
Hopefully you can see from the very quickly put together example that the refine edge tool is taking pixels out if her nose, chin, jumper neck and jumper! Any one know how to prevent this from happening?
Thanks! Matt

I am having the same problem with the refine edge tool. It seems to work the exact opposite of what I was expecting.
The above two images are before and after using the tool to refine the edge. As you can see from the picture without the mask view, the selection actually got smaller after I tried to add to it. When I use the other tool to erase an edge, as soon as I release the mouse button, the portion I tried to remove reappears as it was before. This has never worked properly for me. Also, I have tried outputting in several different ways.
As for the questions posed: The app and OS are up to date. I am the only user on my computer, so I'm not sure what using another user would accomplish. I will mention that I'm using Windows 7, not Mac. I'm really hoping there is a setting I have wrong somewhere.

Problem with unit converter widget

I am having a weird problem with my unit converter widget on 10.4.9.
I re-installed my system, and now when I go to open the unit converter widget, I can no longer see the British pound currency, there are all these othere European currencies.
Is there anyway to get the British pound currency back, do I need to re-install the widget, and how do I do that.

Then I'd try removing & reinstalling it...

Are there any problems with Lion and Adobe CS5 ?

I am wanting to upgrade to Lion but don't want to have the hassle of trying to fix any problems as I have heard some people had problems with earlier versions of Adobe Creative Suit and Lion and having recently moved I have no clue where my CS5 keys are so before doing so I want to know there will be no errors.
Peoples experiences would be appreciated and many thanks.

I have upgraded two Mac mini's which both have the Adobe Creative Suit Cs5 Acrobat, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. I have had no issues regrding the upgrade, they just work.
However I do have two user interface issues. InDesign the keyboard page up, page down keys no longer work as expected, they simply jump to the next screen, the workaround is to use a trackpad for the left hand and use two finger scrolling.
The other is the arrow buttons in the vertical scroll bar no longer exist, so again the trackpad comes in for scrolling.
This applies for almost all software and the finder.

Problem with Skipping Audio in CS5.5

Hi, I recently opened a file in CS5.5 that I created in 5.03. I have a problem with one audio file. It is a music file mp4a that skips as it plays. All the other files are fine. I deleted the file and replaced it, but that file skips. When i play it in itunes or Windows player, it plays fine. Any suggestions. Thanks Roman

Thank you for the replies. What was happening is that the other audio files were being onverted by PPPro. This one was not. I moved the file to the desktop and once again placed it into the project. This time the yellow conversion line on the bottom right corner went to work and it works fine. It was some type of glitch with that one file. Thanks again. Roman

Problem with smart guides in CS5 with converting type object to outlines.

Hi There,
I recently upgraded to Illustrator CS5, and am having some issues with the smart guides. I create some type with the text tool, then convert that type object to outlines. Now, when I want another graphical object to "snap" to any of the anchors of the outlined text graphic, the smart guides don't kick in! The problem does not seem to occurr if I make a standard graphic with other tools, only when I create a graphic from a type object. I need to be able to snap to graphical objects that are created via the convert type to outlines command. Has anybody experienced this issue before? It's kinda frustrating.
The issue didn't seem to happen in CS3, and I've noticed the design of the smart guides is a bit different in the CS5 version as well. Am I missing something?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When you switched to CS5 did you turn on view >> snap to Point
If your snapping tolernace is set to a small value, you may need to zoom in more to get snapping to work, or just increase the value. Also make sure you have the appropriate items checked (eg:Anchor Path Labels)
Edit Preferences >> Smart Guides >> Snapping Tolerance

Problem with JTree converting Node to string

I have a problem that I cannot slove with JTree. I have a DefaultMutalbeTreeNode and I need its parent and convert to string. I can get its parent OK but cannot convert it to string.
thisnode.getParent().toString() won't work and gives an exception
thisnode.getParent() works but how do I convert this to string to be used by a database.
Thanks
Peter Loo

You are using the wrong method to convert it to a String array.
Try replacing this line:
String[] tabStr = (String[])strList.toArray();
With this line:
String[] tabStr = (String[])strList.toArray( new String[ 0 ] );
That should work for you.

Problems with printing in Illustrator CS5 - Last Chance

So here's my problem:
I own a small scale graphic design studio and from time to time I print letterheads, business cards and other fun stuff from my printer.
Few weeks back the text starts to look "jagged/pixelated" around the edges and the same for vector artwork. (For example see www.tohei.dk, the logo there somewhat represents what comes out of my printer, though not quite as bad). It is mostly with diagonal lines like in the letter M or K.
I've spent countless hours (and paper and ink) trying to solve the problem. I've even called Adobe Technical Support in Denmark, but no help there.
The strange thing is that in Photoshop, Microsoft Word and other programs the print is as perfect as ever, so that eliminates the printer as the problem. It is ONLY in Illustrator the problem occurs. I've run tests on my old windows computer with CS4 and there is no problem there either.
The printer is a Canon IP4700 and is 4 months old. I run MAC OS X 10.6.3 and Design Premium CS5.
I think that about covers it. This is my last chance as I have no idea how to fix it!!
Really hope that someone can help!

Save as PDF and print from Acrobat.
The Canon printer is not a Postscript printer, therefor it prints the low resolution preview of any Illustrator file. You need a RIP (Raster Image Processor). Acrobat is a software RIP which will translate the postscript data to a raster format yielding better print results. The reason Photoshop, Word, etc print fine is they are sending raster data to the printer, not postscript data.

Is anyone experiencing problems with the keyboard in CS5?

Hello all,
I am having an issue with Photoshop CS5 (Windows). When using the keyboard, the current tool I am using will switch to a different one! In this video, you can see that after using the text tool (t), it changes to the marque tool (m), when I have actually just pressed the shortcut for the select tool (v). Towards the end of the video, I select the text, press the right on the keyboard a couple of times, suddenly the tool changes from text to the select tool again (v). If anyone is experiencing this problem on Photoshop CS5 (windows) and has a fix for it, I would like to hear it!
This is also happening on my windows machine at home, so it is not specific to this PC. The settings have been reset and I am using the latest version. It has been uninstalled and installed a number of times and I am still having the same issue.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can give me

I'd specifically look for programs running for your keyboard and mouse.
If you have a multimedia keyboard (one with volume controls, brightness, sleep, launch mail, etc) the "launcher" program might be causing issues.
I have a wireless logitech keyboard with their SetPoint software running and noticed that I was having odd keyboard issues in Blender.
I updated to their most recent software and haven't had a problem since.
I'd suggest terminating any program related to the keyboard or mouse and seeing if that resolves the issue.
Maybe even running windows in safe mode to eliminate all unnecessary background programs.
If that still doesn't work and a different keyboard doesn't work then I'd move on to try updating the video card drivers (or uninstalling the current video card driver and reinstalling the driver).
Maybe also reset all mouse and keyboard options to their defaults in the windows control panel.
Good luck!

Problem with changing tonality in CS5

Hello,
I recently upgraded to CS5 from CS3 after buying a new iMac. With CS5 I've been having this problem when I try to make certain images darker using levels, it just reverts back to the previous state and only gets darker very minimally. I even tried to make the image black using levels and it jumps back the same way. Sometimes with images I have been working on with history brush, when i make the whole image darker it only changes the section I have been working. I'm not using layers or any other tool. Then I open an image that I toned using CS3, on my old computer, and have no problems. This is really upsetting. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you!!

OK.
So step-by-step:
You zoom to 100% (So it says 100% in the document window. Since these are high-res you may only be seeing a small section of the image)
You invoke Levels (Image>Adjustments>Levels) and adjust sliders in Levels to make image darker.
You get the 100% view document to look as you want, and click OK in Levels dialog.
Then all reverts back to previous state - while still at 100% View (Actual Pixels)?

Problems with transparent objects InDesign CS5.5

Hi, I have troubles with using transparent objects in InDesign CS5.5 (Win7):
If there is a transparent object in the background, is problem to move with another objects over this area. The object moving over the area with transparency "erases" objects below: texts, boxes.... They are not in fact erased, this effect tooks only for the moment of movement and little bit longer. I have to wait for a while and after it is ok, but the work is slower and software is not working fast as I was got used in older versions.
This trouble is not a problem of my computer (I have a new one with 16GB RAM, i5 processor), the same trouble with the same InDesign is on my laptop.
Updates of InDesign are automatically installed.
Can you give me some advice?
Thanks, Petra
this is screenshot - I moved with blue object - below you can see trails of "erasing"

Yes, exactly, looks like glitch in the video. After I stop moving with object, everything is ok again. But not immidiatelly, there is a little delay (1 or 2 seconds). It doesn´t demage my work, it´s only glitch effect. But it delay me in work, it´s not pleasant to work with this glitch effects

Problems With Cap converter

Hello,
so far i have managed to write some Applets and install also Cap files on a Card.
But i am not able to install my own created cap files...
My Environment ist the following:
My OS is Windows Vista
I am using JavaCard 2.1.1 (Cause my Stick has only it)
I am using JCDE 0.1 for JavaCard 2.2.2
The Card is GloablPlatform compatible :-) (i think all javacards are,or??)
I am using GPShell to install Caps.
The applet is written in JCDK 2.1.1
I can install some Test Caps. (Caps i got form another Hompage like wrankl.de)
I am writing more or less the same code as the test Caps.
I am converting the Applet with JCDE and i am testing it with JCDWE. So far no problem at all.
But as soon as i want to Install the Cap i am getting the following error:
Response: 6438 unknown ISO Error. (0x80206438)
In the first place the installation looks fine but than it interrupts with this error...
If i want to convert the applet by hand i am getting only strange envrionment errors like jre1.6 was not found or something like this.
The problem is that it looks like the global variable is defined well but the error says otherwise.
So if anybody as an idea about:
- my global variable problem in windows vista
- what the error 6438 means or stand for
- if there exists a better eclipse plugin to wrap the jcdk tools
- if there exists another cap converter
I would be really grateful.
Thanks & Bye

In answer to your question regarding the SW you are seeing this might help (or at least explain what it is).
From ISO7817-4:
===============================
*8.6.1 Triggering by the card*
SW1-SW2 set to '62XX' with the value of 'XX' from '02' to '80' means that the card has a query of 'XX' bytes
that the interface device should retrieve and for which the card possibly expects a response.
SW1-SW2 set to '64XX' with the value of 'XX' from '02' to '80' means that the card aborted the command; a
possible completion of the command is conditioned by the recovery of a query of 'XX' bytes, for which the card
possibly expects a response.
If present in the historical bytes with a value such as above, SW1-SW2 shall be interpreted as above.
If a PUT DATA command (see 7.4.3) for transmitting a reply is aborted with SW1-SW2 set to '64XX', then
--- with '64XX' from '6402' to '6480', the card wants to send at least one more query of 'XX' bytes;
--- with '64XX' set to '6401', the card is expecting an immediate response.
===============================
This may not help very much but it basically means that the applet is expecting something to happen. If this is not your applet it may be hard to determine what is required.
I am not too sure about your other problems as I am using JCDK 2.2.1 under Windows XP. You may need to ensure that when running the converter by hand that both JAVA_HOME and JC_HOME are set in your environment variables. You should try running from a command prompt and run the following commands to see if they are set correctly:
echo %JC_HOME%
echo %JC_HOME%You may also want to try using an older version of Java to compile your classes. I know that JCDK 2.2.1 does not work if you don't set the source and target level to 1.3.
I hope this helps,
Cheers,
Shane

PROBLEMS WITH TWO FUNCTIONS IN CS5

I have Windows 7 - 32 bit on my PC. I have Photoshop CS5 and have been using it on this PC for about 15 months. I cannot understand
1) why every picture I open of any format always opens in ACR even in jpeg format
2) why I suddenly cannot get the Transform and several other tools in the edit column to be visible. They are all grayed out - only recently.
Please explain the reason for the above 2 problems.
Thank you

When you reply by email you should disable your signature so your email is not posted in the forum. Regarding help for Lightroom - an Internet search will probably yield some good sources.
There are really good Lightroom training videos on Kelbytraining.com and probably lynda.com. They are not free, but in the end really worth the investment.
Edit: It is also a good idea to open a new thread with a descriptive subject line whenever you have a question not related to the original question in the thread. That way you attract readers who are knowledgeable about the subject matter of your question.
