Problems converting layered rgb files with transparency to cmyk files retaining the layers.

10.7.4/Mac Pro/PhotoshopCS6 13.0 - When cmyk converting a multilayered rgb file layers containing transparency doesn't convert to same profile as layers not including transparency, e.g. a product with a shadow - each on separate layers. the product layer is converted to working Color settings but the transparent layer isn't and is converted completely different, both grayscale and UCR/GCR.
Any suggestions?
Tom

Sorry c.pfaffenbichler, but I'm not giving in - and as you have not really produced any facts to explain this I will see this as a Photoshop bug.
If you make a simple two-point gradient in CMYK the gradient will (according to your settings) create a transition between the two colors.
If one of the colors is 87/78/64/92 and the other 0/0/0/0 then the resulting intermediate steps will depend on those two colors – the CMYK space’s GCR settings have no influence here.
Edit: To clarify: The CMYK space’s GCR settings determine how the default »black« is formed, but a gradient in CMYK is not dependent on those GCR settings. Otherwise all gradients would have to be dragged through the PCS and that would not make sense if somebody decides to make a gradient with certain CMYK colors.
And as I have tried to explain: A black to transparent gradient layer is basically a black layer with a transparency, so again: the CMYK GCR settings do not play into this.
Just convert a RGB black to transparent Layer to CMYK, rasterize it and then apply Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency, then turn off the Layer Mask.
Whether you »give in« or not does not change the way these things are.
knowing there's a flaw in Photoshop, not letting us see what transparents really look like when converted...?
The flaw seems to be in your understanding, not in Photoshop.
Working in RGB and CMYK has relevant differences.
In RGB there is true black, in CMYK true black would have to be 100/100/100/100 which would violate the requirements for many or most processes.
And a CMYK space’s GCR settings are applied in conversion, when you yourself work in CMYK and commit a blunder (meaning things like exceeding the TAC, arbitrarily mixing grays, …) the problems are of your own making.
Edit: To restate: »expecting a layered image to appear identically in RGB and CMYK is simply not sensible depending on the image content and structure.«
The two color models are inherently different, the one additive, the other subtractive.

I am trying to convert a pdf file from the Government Website.

I am trying to convert a pdf file from the government site, it is a divorce petition item d008-eng.docx. Whenever I do the transcript is all over the place. Any suggestions?
I have only bought the software to do this one thing and it failed.

If you use Reader XI you should be able to save it. You should also be able to save the form with Acrobat. However, the form name you gave is a docx file, not a PDF. So it is not clear what you are asking. If it were a PDF form as I would have expected, your questions would have made more sense.
Did you buy Acrobat? If so, are you trying to convert to docx or what. I really do not understand your question. I did find an 8 page PDF of the form (assume it is the same). If you have Acrobat, just start filling it out and save at any stage. I do not see any need to convert it to docx. There are no restrictions on the form for saving or such, so I do not see why you say you can not save your input. If you bought Reader, you got ripped off. If you bought Acrobat there should be no issues with saving. If you use Reader XI there should also be no issues with saving the PDF. So, I do not see the point of your question, sorry.

Problem converting Publisher 2007 files with PDFMaker

Hi all
I hope someone can help me.
I am a technician at a large company and we recently upgraded a users PC to Vista Business (32 bit) from XP Pro.
Since this was done, the user has a problem with Publisher files on Office 2007.
When trying to convert the files using Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 with the PDFMaker plug-in on Publisher, it spools the file to the AdobePDF printer and the job then disappears from the printer but the converting bit just hangs at 60% and Publisher 2007 freezes up and Acrobat is not launched showing the converted publisher file.
This is only happening when converting Publisher files. Word Excel etc are working fine.
When logged in as administrator, it works perfectly. The converted publisher file spools to the AdobePDF printer, disappears from the queue and Acrobat Standard 9 is launched showing the publisher document as a PDF file. Giving the user administrator rights is not an option. This apparently worked perfectly for the user when his machine OS was XP Pro using Office 2007 and Acrobat Standard 9.
I have tried a repair of Office, a repair and then a complete uninstall and reinstall of Abobe Standard 9. Also given the user full control of the Adobe folders but the same thing happens with the Publisher conversions.
Any ideas?
James

Hi all
This problem is now resolved. I got it to work but the frustrating thing was I dont know how I did it! Messed with some settings in Acrobat 9 and the AdobePDF printer and retried it and it worked
Thanks anyway

Problems exporting an RGB file as PDF

Hello,
Here is my problem.
I made a 10 pages file in InDesign, RGB space designed for web. Created some masters. After exporting (smallest file size as well as others too) to pdf the result gives me different tint of colour on pages even if i used the same master. So, if page 2 uses Master A and page 4 uses the same master A, in pdf they have a different color, more like they have a different color managment.
Please help me with this issue and sorry if i couldnt explain very well.
Ana

So in the screen capture, ive got up 2 pages, and down, another 2 pages. From left to right up is cover 2 and then page 1, then down, page 2 and page 3. The psd files Ive used for all masters are the same, using the same color space, using the same save options. Up, the green displayed for both background images is lighter and looks more like a CMYK green. Down, the green displayed is the RGB correct green. As i checked many times psd files are good and is nothign wrong with them from what I saw. There must be something I do wrong or I didnt notice in InDesign. As I said, space it is set for RGB, blending mode it is RGB and I do not use any other transparency objects on any of the page. So, Ive got only the background images files, and text from indesign, that is all. Still, I might do something wrong and I am not aware of, because I work usualy only for offset printing purposes, not for screen purposes set as RGB.
My monitor behave the same as the example you gave, unevenly from top to bottom, still this is one of the first things I check if I see something wrong with colors, being aware of monitor behaviour.
As you said the difference is not that big, but it still is and bothers me as long as I want to look everything the way I designed. Not important for this topic, still I am explaining to understand why I need everything as good as it can be. The final pdf file will be available for download on a website I design for an artist. She created an art character who has a background story developed. It is a special page on her website, designed only for this character with his story. The site will be seen in some expositional spaces by many people, so, for this purposes, I really need everything to look good, without evident issues.
Thank you.

Problems converting h.264 files for use in Premiere

Hello,
Given the fact that I've searched for an solution to this and everything I read is two steps ahead of me, I'm sure there is some basic no brainer thing that I'm overlooking and I apologize for being a noob. I'm attempting to edit HD files for the first time and the files come out of the camera in h.264. I first tried converting with mpeg streamclip but most of the codecs were apple. I tried a few codecs but none of them worked properly with premiere (video in source monitor was jerky, or it'd play fast and freeze on the last frame for the duration of the clip instead of playing the entire clip at proper speed, etc.).
I went through a few other programs and I've still had no success. Every conversion I attempt has some issue in Premiere. My new computer should have no issues running HD clips. It's an i7 quad core with 8 gb RAM.
I know I need to convert the h.264 files to edit in premiere, but I just need to know what program I can use to convert it and what codec will work in Premiere.

I'm going to guess that you're on a PC. Most folks editing Canon HDSLR on PC's seem to be transcoding to Cineform codec to get realtime editing. They have plenty of flavors at prices from $199-$1499 for the Prospect4K that is specifically built for Premiere. You can download 30-day fully functioning trial from www.cineform.com. You'll also find lots of helpful stuff over at www.cinema5d.com
CS5 promises native, realtime editing of multiple layers of h.264 files so I'll actually be putting my dough toward a new system rather than the cinefom plugin.

Problem converting MPEG-1 Files to any format - Wanting to make a DVD

I wish I could use Compressor, but it doesnt work! My home videos are all nice quality, MPEG-1 files, but everytime I try to convert them with compressor, it gives an error, like: "Cant encode audio from MPEG-1 SOuce... bla bla bla"... another one is "Error Opening File"...
And I dont understand, ffmpegX works, so does MPEGStreamclip, but I still wanna give a try to Apple's Compression Software, and see if it can make a nice thing of my videos compression. Im trying to compress 40GB of home videos (like 6 hours of footage) and but them on a DVD or two... I am trying to convert all of them but I am kind of lost....
That is why I wanted to give a try to compressor... but it doesnt open my MPEG-1 files.
I converted my videos... it took me 2 days... all of them to MOV... if I compare each original MPEG-1 FILE... the MOV one has a little little less quality... but the space is 4 times smaller! ... Sorry, I forgot to say, I have exactly 32 horus of video... that means... with those MOV files I converted, I can put all of my videos in two DVDs...
But what happened them? Well... I gotta a surprise... :/... with DVD Studio Pro.. when I add my MOV files... they become 2.5 times bigger!!! :o... so now it is not the two DVDs thing I was dreaming about...
That is why I wish I could give it a try, with Compressor, but it doesnt seem to work...
Please, is there someone that could really helep me out on this? I really appreciate any help....
Thank you so much reading my post,
Gabriel

Hey Gabriel
first and foremost, compressor has a real problem importing a muxed mpeg1 (video and audio joined as one file).
what you first need to do with your files is take them into ffmpegx or mpegstreamclip (like you have already) and do what is called a transcode (that's the official, fancy name).
you would take the file into the above mentioned apps, then transcode them to a Quicktime movie via export.
i would recommend mpegstreamclip for this task, since you do have a lot of footage and this app does offer a batch option (which you can set it and forget it).
once you have transcoded all your files to *.mov's, you can then take those files into compressor!
as you may have noticed, i didnt sepcify a codec to output (like sorenscon 3 or DV for example) since i dont know how much of your storage you can allocate for this task (you will need quite a bit for 32 hours of video).
this is really an easy task, but quite time consuming, so dont think it will go by fast!
i would recommend a DV codec export from mpegstreamclip (via QT movie) with the highest possible quality and uncompressed audio.
please advise

Convert DV-AVI file from the sony camcorder into MPEG2 with time and date

I want to capture or convert a raw DV-AVI file from the sony camcorder into MPEG2 format...this i want frame by frame conversion and i also want the metadata i.e. time and date to be captured at the same time when the conversion is done....so i want to know that which is the JAVA tool available for that ?
pls.. kindly reply mi on the emaiID: [email protected] my contact no. is:09869256073
with regards,
nilesh hardikar

I read a whole bunch of random responses to similar questions ... here's some
Try opening the file in iMovie
Try changing the filename extension to ".dv"
Here's an interesting one: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6172027
But my personal favorite idea is to just re-export the file from a PC in a better supported codec
(BTW If you don't have access to a PC then you can easily install Bootcamp on your Mac .... you can even download a free prerelease copy of Windows 7 to install on the Bootcamp partition if you're quick)

Problem Experts OWB 10gR2 - Mapping with OMB - Give a name to the flat file

I'm trying to create a mapping in OWB by using the Experts (OMB),
where the data source is a database table and the target is a flat file (to transform a table to a flat file).
The tasks of my Experts :
This task create a mapping, and add a existing table on it.
     OMBCC '$thepath'
     catch {OMBDROP MAPPING 'M1'}
     OMBCREATE MAPPING 'M1'
     OMBALTER MAPPING 'M1' \
     ADD $INITIAL_LAUNCH_CONTEXT_TYPE OPERATOR '$thetable' \
     BOUND TO $INITIAL_LAUNCH_CONTEXT_TYPE \ '$INITIAL_LAUNCH_CONTEXT' \
This task change the context and create a flat file
     OMBCC '/PRJ_LABO_PHARMA/SRC_FILE'
     catch {OMBDROP FLAT_FILE 'NEW_FILE'}
     OMBCREATE FLAT_FILE 'NEW_FILE' \
     SET PROPERTIES (DATA_FILE_NAME) VALUES('fichier_genere.txt')
This task add the flat file to the mapping, and create a connection between the source (table) and the target (flat file)
     OMBCC '/PRJ_LABO_PHARMA/MOD_SRC_LABO'
     OMBALTER MAPPING 'M1' \
     ADD FLAT_FILE OPERATOR 'NEW_FILE'\
     BOUND TO FLAT_FILE '/PRJ_LABO_PHARMA/SRC_FILE/NEW_FILE' \
     OMBALTER MAPPING 'M1' \
     ADD CONNECTION FROM GROUP 'INOUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR '$thetable' \
     TO GROUP 'NEW_FILE' OF OPERATOR 'NEW_FILE' COPY ALL
This task update the flat file structure
     OMBRECONCILE MAPPING 'M1' OPERATOR 'NEW_FILE' \
     TO FLAT_FILE '/PRJ_LABO_PHARMA/SRC_FILE/NEW_FILE' \
     USE (RECONCILE_STRATEGY 'REPLACE', MATCHING_STRATEGY 'MATCH_BY_OBJECT_ID')
Then I have a task which execute this mapping.
Everything is good, but during the execution I have a error VLD-2357 : The target file's name is not indicated for the file NEW_FILE.
I don't know how to give a name to the flat file in OMB.
Help me please.
Best regards
Samy

Just like if you built this in the UI where you would have to configure the flat file operator and define a target data file name and possibly the location these properties should be set in scripting.
Set the property TARGET_DATA_FILE_NAME to the name of the data file.
Something like....
OMBALTER MAPPING 'M1' \
MODIFY FLAT_FILE OPERATOR 'NEW_FILE' SET PROPERTIES (TARGET_DATA_FILE_NAME) VALUES ('my_datafile.csv')
Cheers

Can't convert/open nef files from the d800

Hi, so I have a problem opening my raw files taken with the nikon d800 with the dng converter..it says that it supports the d800, why can I not open/convert the nef files? am I missing out on something@? thank you in advance

Usually the issue is that you've used an older version of Nikon Transfer for View NX with the newer-camera files. This is known to corrupt the files in a way that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe software.
Going forward, you should uninstall the obsolete versions of Nikon software and either install the ones that came with your newer camera or use non-Nikon software.
For the existing images, you can use a utility from here to undo the damage:

Problems opening up RAW files in the Adobe elements 12 editor

I just installed Elements12 on my Windows Desktop.
Operating System Windows XP SP3, Quad Core Processor 2.4GhZ, 3Gb RAM (based on these spec, I should be meeting minimum system requirements)
My camera's RAW format (Rebel 4Ti, CR2) is supported by the installed Camera RAW version (8.0.0.xx).
I had no problems opening up the RAW file into Camera Raw. I performed the basic adjustments and save the image as a .DNG file. No problems so far.
(1) I then tried to open the RAW file into the Elements Editor by clicking on "OPEN Image" in Camera RAW. I goes the error message that this action could not be completed due to a program error.
(2) I also tried to open the .DNG file directly. I got an error message telling me I had not enough RAM to complete this action (see above, I have 3Gb installed)
Can anybody advise me what to do, or what the problem is>
Thanks.

You might start looking for a new computer with windows 7 or 8 64 bit.
Not because windows xp is a bad operating system, but it's not supported by microsoft any longer and more and more software companies are dropping support for xp.
(even one of my favorite open source programs; Krita, dropped support for windows xp)
Plus, new programs seem to be more and more ram hungry and a 64 bit version of windows can make a world of difference.

Problem in reading a file in the specified format

Hi,
I want to read a .txt file using the bufferedreader() but the text displayed in the console doesnot show data in new lines though there are multiple lines in the text file.It shows the content of the file in one line.
ex: file.txt

2. Is the code
When I retrive the file it shows the following o/p in the console :
O/P
HereIs the code
Expected o/p

Please help me.
Thanks in advance

Your are not using parentheses {} with your while loop, and you really should.
I believe that the problem is that the new line character is not being included.
It's good to use the readLine() method, but you have to remember that it does
not return the "end of line characters" so you would have to supply that yourself.
Fortunately, System.out.println() will add a new line for you, but you would have
to call it after each readLine() for it to look right.
Also, I don't see why you are using both s1 and y. Here is an example using the
variable "line" to hold the line of text being read.
BufferedReader screenReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print("Enter the File name: ");
String str = screenReader.readLine();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(str));
String line = "";
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}Hope it helps.
