Psd document size up down up down: does layer smart object raw nef remain unfazed?

If we have a document psd with a smart object layer, a camera raw item like .NEF full size,
and then we cut the document size by 50% for archiving space, I notice the camera raw
item keeps its original number of pixels. So now if I enlarge the document (X2) to return to
the original size, do i maintain the original image quality sharpness? Also, at the 1/2 size,
can we export the smart object .nef layer to a full size image?

good. So how do we know how tiny can we can down size for archiving?? The raw nef  size ~34 MB?   I suppose the non smart objects layers will degrade with resizing?

  • How to bring a .jpg into an open PSD file as a layer & smart object

    Note: Posted in MAC section also.
    Goal:
    Using a script - Bring a .jpg an artist chooses, into Photoshop in an existing project into its own layer, and make it a smart object.
    This way, when the artist double-clicks on the smart object in Photoshop, it opens the original .jpg
    Currently, doing this creates a new window and file - a temp file, called xxx.psb.
    Photoshop does this by default to prevent destructive editing.  However, in this case, we purposely want to open the original.
    Why?  the .jpg files are approved art by the organization.
    Here is the script I did and have working in JavaScript.  (Has to be js because it will run on MAC's)
    Currently, it creates a NEW file.  I want it, however to create the SO as a layer in the existing open file.
    In JS: (has to be js for MAC's)
    var idOpn = charIDToTypeID( "Opn " );
        var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        desc4.putPath( idnull, new File( "C:\\Users\\jleahy\\Desktop\\JPG_Meeting.jpg" ) );
        var idsmartObject = stringIDToTypeID( "smartObject" );
        desc4.putBoolean( idsmartObject, true );
    executeAction( idOpn, desc4, DialogModes.NO );

    I'm half way there, but stuck at:
    Getting a file location reference when the .jpg is first brought into PS as a layer.
    Getting a script to write the location of the file into the medata for the PSD in some field
    Reading back the metadata file location for the .jpg and bringing it back into the PSD again.
    Any help would really be appreciated.
    I can make the completed script(s) available when its complete, as this has possibilities for other uses, batch process, and more.

  • Why does the Smart Object state affect the Detail settings in Raw?

    I've noticed that when I return from PSD to RAW in the Smart Obeject mode, the settings I had set in the Deatail panel have changed. Specifically, the Amount slider is always returned to its default position.
    Is this normal? Has my sharpening been altered? Can this be stopped?

    I figured this out; developers are using UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert to determe how my Alert Style setting is configured. There's a widespread meme in the development community that this is a valid way of testing whether I want to receive push notifications.

  • Photoshop CC does not open a RAW NEF file with Camera Raw 8.5. Also, my Help Update gives me an old version.

    I've tried updating the plug-in using PS Help CC but it updates with an old version. I downloaded 8.5 and did a manual install but Photoshop doesn't recognize it and the plug-in "cannot be found." I can see the plug-in on the HD drive where it was supposed to go. What am I missing here?

  • Camera Raw in PSE11 does not support Nikon D610 NEF; all software updates done accomplished - which Camera Raw version to download and where to find?

    Hi,
    Just bought a new camera (Nikon D610) and found out that Camera Raw in Photoshop Elements 11 does not support the RAW (NEF) files. Works fine with the Nikon D5200. PSE11 states that it's up to date. Support documents on Adope Website do not help at all. Some say the D610 is supported other say it's not. If I have to update Camera Raw, which version do I have to use for PSE11? Where can I find the download file?
    I find it somehow strange, that it's not possible to contact the support in a common way, but have to use this Adobe Community. Anyway, if it works... :-)
    Would be great, if someone could give me a hint, how to solve the problem.
    Best Regards,
    Boris

    Just got the new PSE12 and found out that Camera Raw 8.4 plug in can not be installed, if the system runs on Vista!
    So I got a new Nikon camera, new software (which can not be send back) and it looks like that I will need new system software and probably a new PC... :-(

  • Smart Object .psd file opens in ACR, why?

    In LR3.0, I select a .psd file in my catalog and do "edit in photoshop as a smart object".  Inside of photoshop, I double click on the layer or click "edit contents" of the smart object layer, it takes me to the ACR dialog.  Well, I do not want this dialog.  I just want to edit it as I would any other document inside of photoshop.  Smart objects created inside of photoshop to NOT behave this way.  Only lightroom psd files that are opened in photoshop as a smart object exhibit this "strange" behavior.  How can I edit the contents of these smart objects inside of photoshop and omit ACR?

    Your application versions aren't in sync, so this just won't work I'm afraid: CS4 is (roughly) four years behind LR4 and the version of ACR that comes with PS CS4 (5.x - should be on 5.7) won't be able to interpret the edits you've carried out in LR4, assuming you're using the latest process version with the new slider controls. 
    Very surprised you're not getting any error messages or warnings though. Maybe you switched them off in Lightroom?

  • In Numbers, I can see my documents but they have the top right corner turned over with a down arrow, what does that mean?

    In Numbers, I can see my documents but they have the top right corner turned over with a down arrow, what does that mean? I touch it and nothing happens.
    I have recently done a full restore because my iPad and iPhone were mis-behaving and wouldn't work they way I expected with Windows XP and Outlook 2003 and now when I check iCloud.com, all my documents are gone, yet my iPad hints that they may still be somewhere but where are they?

    That is the orientation lock symbol, you can not go to landscape orientation. Tap the home button twice, swipe the task bar to the right, tap on the 'circle' icon at the left to unlock the orientation. You will then be able to view items in portrait and landscape mode.

  • What value does CROP have in editor if you cannot define output document size and document resolution

    Cannot define document size in EDITOR or output resolution. Document can only be defined as RATIO and output is fixed at 300. This problem does not allow you to edit in EDITOR then crop to a specific size so you don't know what the x,y dimension will be once opened in elements. My images are 36x54 at 72 which are 3:4 and can be resized to 4x6 8x12 and so on. Once document is in elements you cannot resize.....either for print or screen to these values without doing another crop or maybe I want something larger than the given crop.

    I don't comprehend this at all.
    On the crop tool's option bar, there should be a drop-down where one can get away from the default crop preset options to "Custom." The replacement values can be entered in inches, and the resolution can be changed to suit as well. Just highlight what you see, and type in new value for px/in.

  • Changing the size of a drop down list

    Hi Everyone,
    Is there anyway to change the size of a drop down list?  For example, our customer would like to make the drop down list for the Ship-To field on the logistics tab of the sales orders longer.  Currently, they cannot see the full name when they scroll through it.  Is this possible?  Depending on what Customer Code they enter, the field size appears to change.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Amanda

    I am using Tahoma size 10 as well. 
    Is the drop down size somehow related to the size of the first few records?  So, if those are shorter than those at the end, perhaps it doesn't adjust for the size of the bottom records.  For example, in our customer's database here's a sampling of what they have entered and the order:
    Wal-Mart 6124
    Wal-Mart 6125
    Wal-Mart 6126
    Wal-Mart 7001
    Wal-Mart Supercenter 1111
    Wal-Mart Supercenter 2094
    Wal-Mart Supercenter 3475
    The drop down box is large enough to see the Wal-Mart 6124, etc. but not large enough to see the Wal-Mart Supercenter ones at the bottom of the list (keep in mind there are over 100 ship-to's for this Business Parnter).  Does it maybe only look at the first fifty records or something like that?
    Thanks again,
    Amanda

  • How to do I increase the font size inside the drop down menus?

    I am trying to enlarge the default font size of the drop down menus that appear when you use the items in the menu bar. For example, I want to increase the font size used in the list that appears under "bookmarks." I do not trying to do anything other than this. Theme and Font size changer does not do this.

    Can you clarify with a screenshot which for items you want to change the font size?
    I use this code on Linux for some font sizes:
    <pre><nowiki>/* font-size: sidebar */
    #commonDialog *, #sidebar-box *, #bookmarksPanel *, #history-panel *{ font-size:11pt!important; }
    /* font-size: Bookmarks */
    #bookmarksBarContent menuitem.bookmark-item,
    #bookmarksMenuPopup menu,
    #bookmarksMenuPopup menuitem { font-size:11pt!important; }
    /* font-size: search bar,autohide */
    #search-container .textbox-input-box {font-size:0px!important}
    #search-container .searchbar-textbox:hover .textbox-input-box,
    #search-container .searchbar-textbox[focused="true"] .textbox-input-box { font-size:12pt!important; font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono"; }
    /* font-size: navigator toolbox */
    #navigator-toolbox menupopup menu, #navigator-toolbox menupopup menuitem { font-size:12px!important; }</nowiki></pre>

  • My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work.  Once another app is opened, it will not close either.  Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

    My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work.  Once another app is opened, it will not close either.  Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas?  If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,,  Thanks!

    For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
    For other Disk repair remedies see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
    Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

  • Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

    Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display.  But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close.  Any advice... thanks?!

    Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.
