PSE 5 and png format

We have been using pse 5 since it came out. Nothing was changed on this particular computer, but it will no longer open .png formated photos. The png format is listed and checked in the file association list, but when trying to open a file, if I pull down the format choices it is not there. The computer is an older PC with Windows 95 OS. And a system restore to a date prior to when it was working fine did not fix the problem.  Any thoughts??
Thanks,

It's worked!!!!!  You have no idea how many bits and pieces, loading unloading, tweaking etc I've been doing.  Can't say enough "thank-you's" for sorting this out for me.

  • Screen capture and PNG format?

    Hi,
    When I use the screen capture feature (SHIFT  4) I always get a *.PNG file. Is there a way to setup the screen capture to a JPG file format as default?
    Thanks

    I dont think so. I know that the Grab utility can save as TIFF, but I am not aware of it being able to save as JPEG.
    However I believe that you can use Preview to export the screen image to a JPEG file. However this is not exactly what you want.
    I know OSX has some frustrating features, and in some areas and ways I miss OS 9. But then again screen capture to JPEG was not available in OS 9 without third party software.

  • Saving jpeg and png files large file size

    Ive recently purchased web premium 5.5 and Im trying to save files in jpeg and png format in Photoshop and Im getting unexpectedly large file sizes, for example I save a simple logo image 246x48 which consists of only 3 basic colours and when I save it as a jpeg quality 11 it reports the file size in the finder as 61.6k, I save it as a png file and its 60.2k also I cropped the image to 190x48 and saved it as a png and the file size is actually larger at 61.9k saving as a jpeg at quality 7 the files size is a still relatively large 54k.
    I have a similar png non indexed colour logo on my mac I saved in CS3 on a pc which is actually larger at 260x148 and it's only 17k and that logo is actually more complex with a gloss effect over part of it. Whats going on and how do I fix it, It's making Photoshop useless especially when saving for the web
    Thanks

    Thanks I had considered that but all my old files are reporting the correct files sizes I have been experimenting and fireworks saves the file at png 24 at 2.6k and jpegs at 5.1k, but I don't really want to have to save the files twice once cut from the comp in photoshop and again in fireworks juggling between the two applications is a bit inconvenient even with just one file but especially when you have potentially hundreds of files to save.
    Ive also turned off icon and windows thumbnail in photoshop preferences and although this has decreased the file size they are still quite large at 27k and save for the web is better at 4k for the png and 16k for the jpeg. Is there anyway to get Fireworks file saving performance in Photoshop ? it seems strange that the compression in Photoshop would be second rate in comparison to fireworks given they are both developed by Adobe and Photoshop is Adobes primary image editing software.

    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

  • I just set up a new computer running Windows 8.1. When I go to my icloud photostream, the pictures are in PNG format NOT JPG. When I open and upload photos from the photostream, the resolution is so low that the image quality is terrible. Help?!?

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • The crawled property of Image width and height - is there a differnce when the image is png format?

    Hi,
    We are indexing file share with images and get the properties of Image Width, Image Height, Image Size (we show it as refiners in SharePoint after make it managed properties). Somehow when the picture is png format - we see only Size but not height and width.
    Is that any setting that should be done in the file share (when i select an image in the windows explorer window i can see all its properties, and it seems that png files do expose the width and height properties
    keren tsur

    Hi  Keren,
    According to your description, my understanding is that when you tried to  crawl file share with images, the ows_ImageWidth and ows_ImageHeight crawled property for PNG  file could not be generated.
    For your issue, I can reproduce your issue in my SharePoint 2013 environment. For a workaround, you can upload the PNG images into SharePoint images Library and they would work fine.

  • Using PNG format with max width without clipping top and bottom of image?

    I am using PNG format to preserve the transparency and drop shadow I am trying to incorporate to give the illusion that this slab object is floating above the other layers.  I first tried file>place to position the menu object on edge of header/beginning of content.  Doing that leaves no options to force the image to span the width of whatever screen.  I need that so I've tried using object>fill> and then clicking the max width of the rectangle (which does solve the max width problem), but I am now dealing with a clipping problem of the top and bottom of the image.  The next thing I can think of is to go back to Photoshop and distort the image so it isn't as tall.  I feel there has to be a simpler way to accomplish this that won't also give my image a unnatural look.  Thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, that helps.  I also found that I cropped to much of the canvas.  After increasing the canvas area AND setting to fill all is well now.  I think your suggestion may help with the scrolling affect problem I'm having when using different resolutions. I am going to try to set the size in one dimension (height) so that different resolution screens see the same scroll actions.  Thanks Mylenium!

  • 72.009 DPI and screenshots using PNG format

    Hi all,
    This may not be a specific PS question, but has anyone else experienced screenshots which end up as 72.009 DPI when you use the PNG format?  I'll take a screenshot using cmd-shift-3 and my Mac will save it as a PNG on my desktop.  When I open it up in PS and inspect the image size, it's 72.009 DPI.  But when I save screenshots using any other format like jpg, gif, etc. they show as 72 DPI.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the correction--PPI and not DPI.  For the purposes of taking a screenshot this should be a 1:1 ratio, right?  So if I take a screenshot on my Mac it should appear as 72 PPI.  What I'm wondering is why doesn't this occur for PNG?
    I did do an initial Google search but I wasn't able to find any clear answers.  The only thread that caught my attention was over at http://www.realgeek.com/forums/photoshop-cs-72-009-pix-per-inch-problem-383016.html where Chris Cox seemed to address the issue (it looks like it was scraped from the Adobe forums--interesting since I wasn't able to find it initially on here):
    Sorry - but there is a limit to the precision of the resolution
    specification in PNG (pixels per meter as an integer). You're seeing
    the error in the least significant bit of the resolution values.
    Other than fixing the PNG spec., I don't think there is much you can do.
    So forgive me for simplifying things, but is PNG flawed when using them for screenshots?

  • How do you switch between web server snapshot jpg and png modes?

    I read in another forum a posting by "NathanK" stating:
    "The snapshot feature of the web server can
    generate images either as png or jpg. In LabVIEW 8.6 and later, the
    default which is generated by the web publishing tool is the png
    format. In this mode everything happens in memory so there is no
    snapshot image file generated.
    In the jpg mode there is a
    temporary file, however it is not always the same file and the file is
    deleted after it is uploaded to the client. I would not recommend
    trying to use this programmatically.
    If you need more
    control over a snapshot of a front panel (and you are using 8.6), I
    would recommend making a custom web service that takes a picture of a
    VI's front panel and returns it to the client. Then you would have
    control over the image."
    I am currently using the web publishing tool snapshot feature with an EXE program written in LV8.6.  However, each time a browser accesses the html file, the EXE file's memory grows by 72KB (this happens with my custom EXE program and with LabVIEW.exe when running the VI in development mode).  I'm assuming this is the png that is generated each time a snapshot is taken, but the program never de-allocated the memory and the program eventually crashes.  I'm aslo assuming that if I switch to "JPG mode", the web server will generate a temporary file and eventually delete it, elminating the memory leak.  The problem is, I don't know how to change the modes from png (default) to jpg.

    I am and have been using the .snap function on many applications since LabVIEW 6.1.  It's very simple, easy to use, does exactly what I want it to do, and is still in the documentation of LabVIEW 8.6, 2009 and 2009 SP1 as being supported. 
    If I am not mistaken, don't you need to have the LabVIEW runtime engine on the target system to use embedded mode?  I don't want to have to try and keep everybody who wants to see a screenshot of my program to have to have a run-time engine installed.  For one reason, I don't know everybody who wants to monitor our system and they literally can be anywhere in the world if the VPN to our network.  Second, those who I do know would would have me install it for them.  Third, why go "backwards" in capability...everybody would ask me "Why do we have to do this now?..we never had to do it before", and I don't want to use my time/energy at work to explain why NI cannot fix a memory leak that has been identified in at least the last 3 versions of LabVIEW and is still not fixed. 
    I had been using either LV 6.1 or 7.1 for a good part of 10 years and had very few problems with them (BTW, DAQmx is the greatest thing every put on a computer EVER).  I finally make the transitioin and start using LV 8.6 on a major test platform last year, got to the very end of it and find this out.  <sigh!>
    It is funny (maybe not), but my work around feels like I just changed the floormats in my Toyota car to keep it from "crashing".
    However, if I am mistaken and you do NOT need to use LV runtime engine for embedded mode, ignore everything I wrote above and please let me know that this is the case and I will look into it.

  • I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
    People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
    ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
    Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
    So IMO we can divide image processing into:
    operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
    operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
    When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
    Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
    ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

  • Why can't PS CC read .gif and .png files anymore?

    Everytime I've tried to load my files into my PS like usual (simply dragging the photo to the dock) I get this error message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." for both .gif files and .png. It's quite frustrating because a lot of my files on my computer are in .png format and I have previous .gifs I've made that I'd like to edit and can't. I have a Mac OSX and I've tried rewriting the file names but I still get the same message and I've tried making a new document in PS and pasting the photo but I only end up with the image below. I'm not sure what else to do anymore. It's quite frustrating. Any suggestions?

    All right. That could also explain why my updates aren't working. (I'll try the same for my illustrator because those updates aren't working also.)

  • Photoshop CS3 .png format not appearing in the "Save As" drop down?

    I have been searching all over the internet and forums like this for a solution but have not come across one that works. I have tried installing an update for .png 8 bit and replacing the .png format file entirely, and to no avail. I'm sure all updates are there for my Photoshop CS3 because I just had my lap top worked on and they had to re-add my CS3, so I think that if any updates were needed they would have done that. I have worked with programs like Photoshop for awhile now but I do not know to much about it's inner workers (files, etc.) so I am not sure what the problem is, and I really need this fixed ASAP. I am working on work and I need that .png format. I can't do without it and .png shows up in the "Save For Web Devices", but I am using trasnparency and it is not doing any justice to my images.

    no dear there is not any option as u suggested.
    rightnow i am using my canvas and making the bytearray of it and then I am saving this bytearray  with .jpg/.png format with the JPEG/PNG Encoders. but what it does? It makes a single .jpg file of canvas so if there are 3 images in it than it will save entier canvas as .jpg.
    I want to save each image as different layer and finally the canvas should be save in .psd format show i can open that .psd file in photoshop..

    Hi,
    I am having similar problems. I have read somewhere that png format can not handle CMYK colorspace anyway, which I find odd (and plainly stupid IM(NS)HO) which would mean that converting to RGB and therefore using profiles is mandatory.
    May be you should check if the internal format of the png files claims it is RGB or CMYK (using ImageMagick's "identify" command for example).
