PSD CS3 layer naming issue

Hello.
When I click on a new layer and start typing, the curser/focus will go somewhere else on the screen after only a few seconds. So basically I must continue to click on the layer to name it, enter 1 or 2 letters and then repeat until I finished naming it. If I try to type the letter "s" for instance, it will select the clone stamp tool. Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks,
Dave

Photoshop CS3 Layer Style Issue

I have Photoshop CS3. Ever since I installed it I have had an issue with Layer Styles, one that I have not had before with other versions of Photoshop. Whenever I apply a Layer Style to a layer the Effects menu automatically drops down in the layers palette. I have to go and manually close the menus each time for every layer that I apply the style to. I have never had this problem before with any other versions of Photoshop.
If you have any ideas or advice on how to fix this problem it would be of a great help.

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:

Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

DL DVD layer break issue

I have a .img file I would like to burn to a DL disc. I did so with Disc Utility and it came out fine except at the layer break, where I lose a few seconds of footage (right at a vital point in the film, no less).
I tried opening the file in iDVD6 but it won't let me, and when I try to import the file to iDVD, it says "Unsupported File Type: Unknown Format."
This is my first Mac, and I've had it all of two weeks, so I'm just learning the ins and outs. I've searched in the forums, but haven't found anything to address my question, so if someone could explain how to open the file in iDVD or how to burn using Disc Utility and fix the layer break issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Premiere Pro CS3-CONSTANT Memory issues when editing/rendering/exporting

Alright, as said in the title I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and my issues are horrendous
No matter what, within 10 minutes of editing, Premiere will warn and then crash because of memory issues, starting with the message:
"Adobe Premiere Pro is running very low on system memory; please save your project and proceed with caution"
Also, whenever I try to export this project, within 800 frames of a 7000 frame project (currently), it displays the message:
"Error Compiling Movie", and then the previous message above if that hasn't already happened before
And eventually, the program will crash out of nowhere, with random windows errors
Here's my specs:
Intel i7 920 Processor
6 GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia 480 GTX
750 watt power supply
24" Dell Ultrasharp Monitor
Now, I've noticed that whenever Premiere is getting close to crashing, my RAM gets up to around 4.7 GB being used, and then it crashes.
I have already gone into Edit-Preferences and tried switching from Performance to Memory; that hasn't fixed anything
I noticed that when I was just running my video over and over again, it stayed stable at 4 GB or so, so maybe its a rendering issue?
I have already tried lowering my number of processes running at any given time, including my antivirus program (Kaspersky) and even explorer, but it still crashes no matter what.
========================================================================================== ========
This is a SERIOUS issue for me, as even with all the normal crashes I could finish the video; but now I cannot even export my video at ALL without it crashing, and I have a plenty strong-enough computer to handle this, so what gives?
Please help

Ok, well this has been getting me nowhere
I tried importing (both my CTRL-X method, and literally importing the project), and now the program won't even RENDER the footage, it just errors out at 800 frames (just like exporting)
What is going on???
I used to use Premiere Pro 2.0 all the time, on a separate computer, but I have 6 GB of RAM, is this really impossible???
EDIT:
And now, even after finally getting it to render (by saving after rendering before what crashed, and then starting it up and rendering again), all my footage looks like crap XP

Another Dual Layer Break Issue

Encore CS5.1
After about 12 hours, I am no further forward... Having trawled through a number of posts on this and similar subjects I am really up against the buffers.
The requirement is simple - getting Abobe Encore CS5.1 to "see" my request to use a Chapter Marker it gives me as one of three in the Manual Option section during the build process.
I had no issues with DL authoring in CS4, but CS5 is giving me a lot of grief.
The outline:
I have a timeline of 67 minutes with 6 Chapter Markers. The first two are within the first 10 minutes, CH3 at 36 minutes, CH4 at 38 minutes, CH5 at 41 minutes and CH6 at 61 minutes.
I am using Verbatum DL +R DVDs (I have used no other these last three years) with a write speed of x4 or x2.4.
Once I have built the NEW project, imported the video and placed the Chapters as above (all except CH3 at fade-to-black points) I select 8.54 GB dual layer, Side one, Manual and proceed.
At the invitation to select the manual point Encore offers me CH3, CH4 and CH5. No matter what I select, it places the break point at about 33 minutes (about half way) and in doing so screws up my own Chapters by placing it's own (invisible in the timeline) chapter thereby shuffling all mine. As a result I lose sections or get repeated sections.
I tried building to Folders and using ImgBurn. This confirms the insistance on using a halfway point - same too building to an Image the chapter and cell are never my selected, always a cell at about the halway point.
Adobe Encore is not recognising my selection (at its own invitation).
I have deleted the project and cache - rebooted and built the project from scratch importing the video - creating the timeline and adding the Chapters - always the same.
I have followed some of the points given using Folders in ImgBurn - it simply is not working for me. It's almost like Encore is screwing the build and the build is the same as though the settings are held in cache.
As mentioned, I have cleared all previous builds and their files and deleted the media cache with no joy.
I'm getting to the point whereby the only choice left to me is to split the project timeline and build the project as two separate DVDs (as the timeline is only just over the capacity for a single sided DVD (3 minutes).
As for PCG Edit - doesn't seem to want to run on my workstation (PC i7 24GB RAM - 3 separate drives in RAID combo and separate OS SSD).
Can someone help me find out what has happened to Encore as it does appear that after every "upgrade" somthing gets a little worse judging by my CS4 experience.
Many Thanks

Hi Stan,
Many thanks...
Yes, running "as admin"
Not quite with you "...too much material for a layer."
I often run to about 65 mins to just fit a single layer - perfect, but this project ran over - and I can't take anything out.
I am loath to change the sample rate as my SD quality (from a combo of AVCHD and MPEG2) Sony NX5 and Z5 really hit the spot for max res in SD (9.4 Mb/s). The Encoded spec for Encore is legal (or so it would seem) for Encore in a single layer (no issues or errored DVDs), and as I said in the OP I had no issues like this in CS4 (yes, apart from the known buggy stuff).
But why would Encore offer me a number of break points in placed chapters only to ignore them consistantly?
Another point:
My first build went through and honoured the chapters, but put the layer change halfway - but didn't screw the build. There was a production reason I had to change the timeline content - one shot change of the same duration. I would certainly settle for that at this stage. Interestingly, I built to Image and did an IMGBurn (as I do do for all DLs). But as you say, IMGBurn is choking on what's been passed to it from Encore. I am trying to replicate that first build.
By the way, all my Chapters in the timeline preview perfectly in Encore - it's just when I ask for the build it all goes wrong (seemingly).
Many thanks again Stan. Appreciate your reply.

[naming issue] how to call a method...

Now, this may sound silly, but believe me, for a non-english guy sometimes those naming issues are really serious (especially when you know someone else is to see your code). So what I'm doing is a network simulation software (my b.sc. project). How would you call a method that takes traffic into a queue/network node (let's call it METHOD1 for now) and a method that pushes that traffic out (METHOD2). It's more or less like this:
class TransmissionLine{
   private Node node1;
   private Node node2;
   public void performAction(){
      node1.METHOD1(node2.METHOD2());
      node2.METHOD1(node1.METHOD2());
}Right now they are called TrafficUnit push(), and void pull(TrafficUnit tu). Seems good for me since the first pushes its traffic out, and the second pulls it in, but I dont know - it doesn't sound pro ;) Please let me now what you think and what would you call them. Thanks!
Best Regards,
M.

I think when you're talking about some functionality that links two classes together, one of which needs to generate data and the other which needs to receive data, send and receive is probably still a good choice. Even if you're not talking about a network, you're talking about two independent parts of a system. Think of them as little machines that build up your program, and that might give you a good idea of how you should name them.
On the other hand, if you're just looking for readable code, pick something that makes sense to you if you were describing the method to someone else, and then make sure you write clear comments. Even if you pick a name that's not perfect, the comments will make up for it. Something like:
* Gets the traffic coming in so that it can be processed.
* @param node The sending node
* @return The traffic data from the sending node
public TrafficData pull(TrafficUnit node)
* Sends the traffic data out to the target after processing.
public void push()
..This will always be better than...
public TrafficData receive(TrafficUnit node)
public void send()
...

Weird iTunes naming issue

So I've got this bizarre naming issue in iTunes that is driving me crazy. Any help would be much appreciated.
Occasionally, and somewhat randomly, when I drag a folder of mp3's into my iTunes, it automatically adds a square [that wingding-looking symbol that usually denotes an unreadable character] to the end of every song, artist name, and album. Renaming wouldn't be a big problem, except it won't seem to work. When I go into the file info and try to rename, there's (1) no square that shows up in any of the fields for me to delete, and (2) no effect even if I retype each song, artist, album, etc.
It's driving me nuts, because especially in the artist field, iTunes reads the artist name with the square at the end as a different artist, which has the effect of making my library and iPod a mess.
I would be incredibly grateful for any help that anyone could provide. I'm going nuts trying to figure it out. Thanks in advance.

A certain number of Genres are hard wired into the app and can't be gotten rid of. However, all you need is one track to be given a genre like - Hip-Hop Classical Opera - for that to turn up in the genre list. The best way to track these down is to use the Browser (apple-b). Selecting a genre in the left hd column will list the tracks that carry that genre, and you can then edit them using the apple-i command.

Photoshop (CS3 - Vista Ultimate) layer effects issues

I am running a Vista PC with 4GB RAM and other complimentarily high spec hardware.
I am having trouble when adding 'stroke' effects to layers. At times I end up with horrendous colour-of-the-stoke spots/patches all over my layer. I have boild the issue down to the following reason: there are small one-pixelish or larger 'holes' in the layer and therefore the stroke is placed around these 'holes'. If the stroke is placed 'inside' then the spots/patches will appear but when the stroke is placed on the 'outside' then the spots/patches do not appear.
This issue happens pretty much all the time when stretching and distorting and warping a layer or (in particular) when adding, for example, white space to a layer and then popping a stroke onto it.
I do not seem to remember it happening in the past - since a year past (mid-2007) - but seems to be happening to an increasing degree recently. I never noticed it happening before using CS3.

Layer Break Issues

Encore CS4 has been giving me issues with manually setting the layer break on dual-layer disks. I'd like to hear from everyone out there who is using CS4 to create DL disks with a manual layer break. Does Encore always ask where to set the break when you tell it to?

Hi Jim.
Cannot remember back to version 1, and never did a DL disc in 1.5 that I can remember, but certainly CS2/3/4 for me have never worked properly with Layer Break dialogues. One of the problems I faced that cost me a lot of lost face was when I was using version 2 on a live concert DVD for Porcupine Tree.
I worked all the data rates locations of chapter points out manually, and knew that according to the manuals, Encore should use a chapter point if one is available within the range allowed. There were 3 in that range, so I left it as automatic.
Burned a DVD+R DL disc, and on my Denon players the break is often not even noticeable. Client approved, and we created the DLT tapes.
Back came the test moulds, and to my horror the break was not on a chapter point at all but on a GOP header around 31 seconds after the chapter it was supposed to be placed on automatically. Drat. Call the factory, tell them not to press, and I will deliver a new set of tapes in 6 hours time.
Power up DLT, Boot Encore, set break point manually. (Incidentally, Version 2 was the only version that has ever worked on manual mode for me. CS4/CS3 never do. I click on manual, and suddenly nothing happens) and set it to Chapter 17 (it could also have gone on 16 or 18 according to the dialogue)
Rewrite DLT tapes, deliver to factory, get next test mould - same freaking problem. The darn break has not moved.
Turned out that when we analyzed the tapes, the original break point had been left. A long call to Adobe support ended up with the "best guess" option that once the break poiint had been set, it remained set. The Abstraction Layer had a nasty bug and would not allow subsequent editing, it seemed.
Since then, all DL discs have been exported from Encore with no break point set at all to straight folders, and pre mastered in GEAR Pro Mastering Edition.
PGCEdit takes a bit of getting used to, but my lord, what power is there under the hood! It is seriously well worth learning as you can change so much without needing to recompile from Encore. You can even edit the entire CLUT maps change button highlighting, edit links, set cells to seamless/non seamless, alter userops, all manner of wonderful things. ALso - After Effects definitely requires rocket science. It's beyond me. My partner thinks it is great she loves it though.
AFAIK ( and I will check) -R DL is now supported in CS4, not sure about CS3.
Anyway - all that aside, how are you doing Jim? Long time no talk to
Neil

CS3 Layer Window default

Last December Scot herring wisely told us how to change the default in the Color window (Topic: Illustrator CS3 color swatch display). This works beautifully; much appreciated. Now is there any way to have my long layer/sublayer list in the Layer window come up as I left it when I last closed the doc, at at least all closed so I don't have to manually close every layer each time I reopen the doc? In the Preference settings Scot mentions the AIWSPrefs (which I take it means 'Adobe Illustrator Window Preferences') I see the following options for layers. Has anyone found if any of these would solve my problem? None appear to address this issue.

I don't know what you mean about "creating from new in the root and your user" but it sounds like it may just be a corrupt Finder pref.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Finder.plist and delete that file. Then log out and back in or restart.

Belated CS3 Layer Question

Hello,
I apologize for asking a question about CS3, but that's what I happen to be using at the moment. How do I unlock the initial background layer or create new layers when editing, say, a .png? In previous versions, that layer could be unlocked just by double-clicking and setting the layer to Layer 1, and creating new layers would automatically change the image to a .psd while it was being worked on.
I can't believe that I'd actually have to make a new image and copy/paste everything to it; I must just be missing the way to unlock the layer or have my settings set incorrectly.
Thank you for your time

You still double-click on the layer in the Layers Palette. You can also right-click or bypass the renaming step with Alt-click.

CS3 Photoshop Layers issues? Snow leorard??

Since recently loading new snow leopard we are having issues in our Photoshops. Mostly noticed in the Layers pallete. Which will not allow us to right click to select and element on a layer. It moves the entire folder of above elements as a group. Some machines will not allow to right click on an element to find that individual layer any longer.
Any knowledege on issues with the compatibility with Photoshop cs3 and snow leopard 10.5?? Any help or solutions?
thanks!!

Sorry, hindsight is 20/20, but I paid $170.00 for the system pgrade and personally I like it -- A LOT -- with the CS3 Photoshop exception. I personally have run into no other "bugs" or issues in my workflow, other than this one. I am hoping someone out there has run into the same issue and come up with a fix, which is why I posted.
Perhaps I am assuming too much here, but I don't believe this to be an "Apple" issue, but rather an "Adobe" issue. Why do all the other modules in CS3 load fine on install? Why does a trial of Photoshop CS4 load with no problem. It doesn't make sense to me that others are running CS3 Photoshop on Snow Leopard and I can't. Something is amiss here.
I have used Adobe products for almost 20 years and have been very loyal to them. I keep my programs as updated as possible and have purchased legal upgrades along the way for everything that I use, which is not pocket change to be sure! But, as of a couple of years ago (actually starting with CS3, which gave me issues on install many years ago in Tiger), I have had nothing but issues and problems. No other programs give me issues, which really sucks since Adobe is such a major part of my workflow.
