PS CS6 Smartobject - ACR not updating RAW edits

Hi,
I am working with PS CS6 and smartobjects. I do a lot of advanced batch editing.
I have an issue I have failed to find an answer to.
When working with a smartobject-image in PS, and going back again into ACR to to some adjustments on RAW file, and then back into PS, the updated adjustments I did on the RAW file shows in PS, but is NOT saved in ACR.
This is an issue for me, since I need to copy RAW settings and apply to many other RAW images. The way I work I may need to go back many times into ACR from PS to adjust the RAW file, I can not know the final edit the first time when opening the RAW file from ACR.
As it is now, the only time ACR remembers the edits I do on the RAW file is the inital first time edit which is applied before the file is opened as a smartobject into PS.
How can I get ACR to remember the edits I do when re-opening the RAW file from a smartobject in PS??

Smart object layers that have embedded RAW file object are independent from the original RAW file. The smart object contains a Copy of the original RAW file and ACR Settings. You can create multiple RAW conversions within a single document by targeting the Smart object layer then use menu Layer>Smart Objects>New Smart Object via Copy to create independent Smart Object Layers. Each can be be open in ACR by double clicking on a layers smart object icin in the layers palette the original ACR conversions setting can be changed by the user. When they click OK in ACR the Smart object layers pixels will be updated to reflect the changes and the ACR settings will be updated in the embedded object. This is the way it designed to work.
To work the way you want if one update a ACR conversion in any document that had been created using a particular RAW file ever document with this RAW file would need be linked to gather some way along with all the others documents with this RAW file embedded so all embedded RAW smart Object layer as well as the original RAW file metadata or side car file updated. Sort of making Digital back to film where you could only develop your exposed file once eliminates versions. Not very desirable for Photo work. If your publishing printed material you may be better off looking a Indesign

After Affects CS6 comp do not update in Premiere Pro sequence

Since CS6, if I change an After Effects project when the comp is already in a Premiere Pro timeline, the comp won't automatically update on the timeline, but it will update on the source monitor.

I'm having a similar problem. I have 2 Mac Pro machines that have recently been updated to CS6(Production Premium). This occurs on both machines. And is not specific to any one item being changed. It occurs to any changes being made AFTER rendering into PPro.
If I link between PPro & AE comps/sequence, I can make changes in AE and it will update to PPro as long as it has not been rendered. However, if I render the sequence in PPro, and then go back to AE and make changes(and yes, I am saving it before returning to PPro), it does not unrender the PPro sequence, and will not update. It remains rendered in the sequence as if nothing has changed. No matter what I do to the imported AE comp in PPro, it will not unrender. (short of adding an adjustment layer with an effect above it all in the sequence to force it to unrender - this is my workaround for the moment).
I've gone so far as to delete the linked comp out of PPro, and re-import the AE comp, and if I drop it on the same sequence it pops immediately back up as rendered. My guess is it has something to do with the global cache.
This is not a legacy issue, as this project was created from scratch in CS6.
Here's the workflow
Create PPro Proj -> import footage -> edit video -> save.
Create AE Project -> edit composition to desired effect/graphics etc... -> import or drag comp from AE to PPro -> Lay AE comp on video layer above base footage -> Go back to AE make any desired changes and Save -> return to PPro, and project is updated -> Render ALL in PPro -> realize something needs to be adjusted in AE -> go to comp in AE, make adjustment & save -> return to PPro and find that it will not update/refresh/unrender.
I can duplicate this exactly on the other machine as well, so it's not a specific issue with a specific machine.
Am I missing something short of clearing out the entire render folder in PPro?

ACR not keeping same edit as in Bridge?

In Bridge, my photos are auto toned, and I happen to like the effect most of the time. But when I go to open it in ACR, it does not keep the effect.
I have tried to change the settings and have looked for a way to fix this, but to avail. I want the same edit I see on my photos in Bridge to transfer over to ACR. Because now I have to manually adjust my picture to look like it did in Bridge. Is there an option to keep the same settings?
I use:
ACR 5.7
Bridge CS4
shoot RAW of course.
(by the way, if they say the Bridge can only preview jpegs with the auto tone corrections and must covert to RAW, etc, then why do I see my RAW photos having it? It doesn't make sense.)
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

If I set automatic autotoning in Bridge the slider values are the same in ACR as if I clicked Auto inside ACR w/o automatic autotoning enabled. So the autotoning is not different.
And I am not seeing any differences if I make a screen-capture of Bridge's Preview and ACR Preview and quickly alternate back and forth between the two with Windows Photo Viewer or similar. There are no differences with or without autotoning applied.
However, what seems to be true is if you have touched an image with ACR and clicked Done or Open Image rather than Cancel to exit ACR, then Bridge automatic autotoning is NOT applied afterwards in either Bridge or ACR. In other words the automatic autotoning in Bridge is only applied to "virgin" images, not already-adjusted images.
Does this explain what you're seeing?

Icons for images on desktop do not update when edited in Preview

I didn't know what topic to put this in but I guess I consider this a Finder issue.
Here's the problem: In both Leopard and Tiger, when I edit something in Preview and save it the little icon preview image on my desktop (you know, above the file name) does not change, even after I restart. I know the world isn't going to end because of it but it has gotten to the point where I'll edit things in Photoshop instead of Preview just to get the stupid icon to be accurate, otherwise I don't know if I've worked on a picture already or not. It would save me from a lot of time wasted booting up Photoshop just to crop an image.
I also noticed that the Spotlight comments (when I use "get info" on the file) still describe the picture in its larger format before cropping. It just doesn't seem to update itself. The image I am looking at as an example is a PNG right now but I'm sure it has happened with jpegs as well. (generally I'll just go into Photoshop in the end and save from there to update the icon out of frustration)
Can this be fixed? It would certainly make me enjoy using Preview a little more.
I thought this would go away with a Leopard upgrade but it doesn't seem to.

select the files with custom icons and enter commandoptioni.

"texts on html file" are not updated "when edited on server"

Hi All,
QUESTION
What are the solutions, for having editable text/content on .html published files, so clients can edit through their server control panel
Scenario:
Client wants to update the "text" by editing the .html files on a server.
I published the website as static html so the text can be included in .html file, but edits made on server's control panel, doesnt appear in live website.
I also noticed that the texts located in edgeActions.js are editable through server, i am not very interested to define all my text content as the dynamic
code because then I must worry about empty .html files and SEO questions.

Here is what I ve found in regard to my own question...
For a Client, to be able to change the text on server (Ex: phone numbers in a contact page), they should access and modify the text in the edge.js or sometimes edgeaction.js page. Changing the text on .html page will create no result. I assume, this is because, the .html page is exported ONCE and only at the point of Publishing a project, to satisfy the SEO needs or whatever. Think of the text on .html page as a Sticker to fool the rest of the world, changing it will not change anything on webste and. Also if you change the text in .js, the change will not be relfected on .html file.

Citations not updated after edit in endnoteX3

Hi,
I noticed that some of my refs didn't have the correct initials for some authors. However, if I add or edit them for the citation in EndnoteX3, the Pages bibliography wasn't updated with the new info. Not even when I close both programs and re-open the document. Even worse: when I opened the 'manage citations' window, all citations were duplicated a couple of times...and it's a mess.
Any suggestions?
Martijn

According to the Endnote FAQs:
You have modified a reference in your EndNote library, and want to update the citation in the Pages 09 document. To do this, you will need to remove the citation from the pages document and reinsert the citation.
http://www.endnote.com/support/faqs/CWYW/faq56.asp
Here’s the fastest way to remove and re-add citations:
1. Double-click the citation reference in the document text
2. Press the "-" button in the citations window to delete the reference
3. Close the window and re-add the citation

Thumbnails of psd images sometimes do not update after edit

After scanning a bunch of negatives I decided to add the images to iPhoto in the psd format, which I wanted to keep. In iPhoto I have one roll for each film roll. I have iPhoto preferences set so that I edit in PSE. On some rolls after I edit and go to the iPhoto window and then single click on the thumbnail, the thumbnail changes to the edited version, as I would expect. However on other rolls when I repeat this, the thumbnail doesn't change to the edited version. When I double click I do get the last edited version of the image. (Also true if I edit in the Main Window.)
In PSE file saving preferences I have: On First Save= Save Over Current File. Also Max PSD file compaibility = Always.
Anyone have any idea as to what is going on. Thanks,
Owen

How are you editing those psd files? With Photoshop? If so then here's the correct way to use PS with iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

CS6: Program Monitor Not Updating Live

Ive use premiere in the past and have had the program update live as im color correcting. on cs6 it only updates when i let go of the mouse when im adjusting when the color wheel or any effect the only time the monitor will update is when i let go of the mouse.
is there some kind of option to make the monitor work live so i can know as im adjusting what its doing.

>use premiere in the past and have had the program update live as im color correcting. on cs6
1st thought is to ask what is your brand/model graphics card, and what is the driver number?
I have read in other messages that upgrading from CS5 to CS6 required an update of the nVidia driver (maybe ATI as well)

CC programs not downloading with complimentary subscription. And CS6 applications not updating at all. Why is this?

I have a complimentary subscription to CC and run CS6 Master Collection. The CC apps will not download, and the CS6 apps will not update. I followed the online instructions, checked for bugs and spoke to support on the weekend - who could not help. They suggested speaking directly to Adobe on a weekday. This must be an ongoing issue. Any solutions much appreciated.

Thanks for this response. Of course there's a link. However that link has not worked for me. I just posted another version of the same question to the Forum after 6 months of waiting for Adobe - to no avail. You can follow it here: I have owned Adobe CS Master Collection since CS3. I currently run CS6 and cannot update my software online. I run on a MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012, 16GB RAM, SSD, with Mavericks 10.9

CS6 thumbnails not taking updates after RAW edit, cleared cache

Cleared cache and changes are appearing in the Camera Raw edit screen, save the changes, clear the thumbnail cache and the changes are not reflected in the thumbnail. This use to work fine in CS4, any suggestions?

If you have Bridge thumbnails set to embedded raw edits will not show. Need to have one of the HQ varieties for this to happen. Can change in toolbar second row right side.

After editing file in ACR 8.6 (Mac) , the file (NEF and XMP) modification dates are not updated

With both my Mac's, reset Photoshop C (2014) to previous version 2014.0. Now find that after editing file in ACR 8.6 (Mac) , the file (NEF and XMP) modification dates are not updated. Reloaded camera raw, etc., but still find modification dates are not updated, either using Finder or using Bridge to view dates. Editing other files, PSD, DNG, TIFF, etc., are updated and the information is correctly displayed.

Ok, not entirely sure what I did but it's now working (Bizarre!). The only thing I did was 'eject' the ACR 8.6 .dmg file from the finder side bar and restart PS CC, so that may have been where I was going wrong all along!
However, I now have another issue in that there is no preview of the shot in Finder on my iMac when I highlight the NEF file. I assume this is simply because Apple haven't yet released an update for the new D810 NEF files and so the computer doesn't know what it's looking at?!?
If anyone has any other ideas though, then I'm more than willing to listen.
Thanks again.

Photoshop CS6 updated Raw and now get message saying "Could no complete your request the file was not found." Help

I updated CS6 Camera Raw as it would not read my D7100 raw files. Since that I cannot open jpegs.
Also, I go to Photoshop - About Plug-In - Camera Raw and get a pop up window saying "Could not complete the Camera Raw command because the file was not found."

I apologize, guess I wasn't very good in giving info. It is on a Mac running Snow Leopard. I did the CS6 updates through Help/Updates but that did not update to where my camera (Nikon D7100) raw files could be read. I searched around on Adobe's site for the Camera Raw update that took care of reading them, forget what page I finally found a download link on but the update was a singular installer for Camera Raw. Once updated Photoshop CS6 stopped being able to 'find files' even when the file is dragged onto the Photoshop icon, or through the menu's Open. I have since uninstalled everything reinstalled the suite from the original installer. I know have a Photoshop that will open jpegs but just not my camera's raw files. Thanks for any help that you think might take care of the problem. I am not going to update the Camera Raw unless I can find out what happened and what to do to prevent it. I switched my camera to take jpegs until if and when I solve the mystery. :-) Thanks!

After editing a RAW photo in PE13 (my External Editor) originally sent from Apple's iPhoto, I can not reimport the edited photo back into my iPhoto library. The
"Import to Library" command is greyed out. This was not the case until the latest PE13 update (Camera Raw Version 8.7.1.311). What needs to be done
to reimport edited photos back into my iPhoto library? Ideas?

Launch PSE Expert Mode and go to:
