PSE7 saves edit as broken file

I have been using PSE7 for a few months. It went through a period where it wouldn't edit at all. Then it starting working. Now for the past week it will edit but it saves as a broken file. Can anyone help? I am running Windows XP and have not made any changes to my computer recently. I also have PSE3 and it won't edit either. I get the message "Adobe Photoshop 8 does not run under this version of the operating system. Please check the package minimum requirements for the operatins system lever necessary for this software". It had worked fine for three plus years, now this. Thank you.

There could be a lot of reasons for a broken thumbnail.
One suggestion is for you to check to make sure you are saving the file with a valid extension in the file name ... something like .jpg or .psd or .tif would be examples of valid extensions (of course, there are others). If the file name has an invalid extension, then you might get a broken thumbnail.
Another possible reason for this is that you have used two periods in the file name. Something like Boston.May2009.jpg is invalid.

How to delete and edit particular line in a file and save it in same file ?

Hi,
I want to delete and edit text at particular line in a file.
But edit and delete should reflect in same file.
I have done googling for this but it results with using another file, that i dont want as i need to save changes in same file.
How can i do this?
Thanks in advance
Edited by: vj_victor on May 24, 2010 3:33 PM

I just want to make sure, this is the only way to do what i mentioned ? or it could be done another way !a) write the data to a new file
b) delete the old file
c) write the data to a newer file
d) delete the new file
e) rename the newer file to the old file name.
For a hint about still more ways to do this, search for the complete lyrics of One man went to mow, Went to mow a meadow...

How do I save Lightroom image edits in source file?

My experience with the trial version of lightroom is very positive in terms of the convenient and powerful capabilities for editing images and the associated metadata. But I can't find a way to save the "develop" edits to images into the source file for the photo I am working with. So far, I am able to save the metadata into the file but not the image editing. From what I read, I fear this is not possible without silly round about exporting to new files then copying / moving multiple copies around, etc. Without this ability, I am pretty sure I will not purchase lightroom and will miss out on all the powerful features. Without an OPTION that turns on the equivalent of a SAVE button, managing my photos collection would be a nightmare.
So my question is: How do I save the edited (i.e., developed) version of a photo back into the same file where the original photo was stored?
Please, please spare me all the reponses telling me how stupid I am for wanting to do this and that the cognisenti and professionals would NEVER do this. But please just tell me there is a secret place to turn on this option in lightroom.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same requirement to save in JPEGs files all non-metadata edits performed in Lightroom, in order to share modified pictures without duplicating files. By the way, I think it’s going to be more and more required by casual Lightroom users, as people get used to instant photo sharing in many situations where quantity matters more than quality
Here’s a nearly automatic (at least, scalable) solution that works, although it slightly lowers the quality by re-compressing the original pictures.
Once for all:
Download and install the wonderful Lightroom plugin “jf Run Any Command”, provided as donationware by Jeffrey Friedl here: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/run-any-command. This “export filter” plugin allows you to run a command of your choice with each exported file, as part of the export while it’s going on. (You may also browse Jeffrey’s blog to find many other useful and beautiful things.)
In Lightroom, pre-define an export settings as follows:
Export to the hard drive, to the original picture folder, without adding the exported file to the catalog
Name the exported file “EXPORTED-{Filename}” (or anything different from the original file name)
JPEG format, 76% quality (see An Analysis of Lightroom JPEG Export Quality Settings at http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/jpeg-quality)
Keep all metadata
Here’s the interesting part, the Run Any Command settings:
Command to execute for each exported picture: copy "{FILE}" "{Path}\{LIBRARYFILENAME}" (this replaces the original file with a copy of the exported file)
Command to execute upon export completion: del {FILES} (this deletes all exported files).
NB: One could wonder why not directly export with the original file name and silently replace the original files (I believe Lightroom would allow this). It’s just a matter of error handling: in case the export goes wrong, no original file is changed at all.
The easy part: each time you want to save edits:
In Lightroom, select the pictures to save, and export them with the pre-defined settings. You're almost done. The JPEG files are ok, but inside Lightroom you see the modification effects doubled, as their specifications remain in the catalog database and they apply on modified JPEG instead of the original files.
While the entire set of "saved" pictures is still selected, in the Develop module switch Autosync on and click Reinit to erase all modification specifications from the catalog for all pictures, then press CTRL-S to write down to disk any metadata updated by Lightroom -and accept if required to confirm that Lightroom values should replace externally set values.

PS: Papa Ben, I'm curious about the decision you finally made

Is there any way to edit and save an existing spreadsheet file that was not created from my iPad? I get excel spreadsheets emailed to me and would love to edit them on my iPad and not ever use my PC.

Is there any way to edit and save an existing spreadsheet file that was not created from my iPad? I get excel spreadsheets emailed to me and would love to edit them on my iPad and not ever use my PC.

Thanks. I tried an app called Office2HD and it does exactly what I need. I can even email my edited file from this app.

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Editing CSS, related files requires save (cs4)

You know what really Grinds My Gears? (family guy reference,
lol)
When I edit the CSS in the right hand panel, sometimes it
makes the CSS file in the Related Files toolbar not saved with a *
next to the filename. Sometimes it goes ahead and just saves the
changes right away. Like most, I'm constantly switching back/forth
between browsers so CSS has to be saved to see changes.
Kindofa pain to have to click the css file in the related
toolbar and Ctrl+S to save before each preview...I haven't been
able to find out why it "dirties" the CSS file sometimes and other
times it directly saves to the CSS file.
Does anyone have any ideas? How to get it to always just save
to the file?
thanks

avibodha,
Ah! Thanks for the additional details. I see what is causing
this behavior.
When a document is opened, DW determines what the Related
Files are, so
it can show the list of buttons for each one. But, for the
sake of
performance, we do not actually load the files until you
click on a
button to view a file. Note that the file may already be
loaded as a
top-level document or as a Related File of some other
document.
Since you have the "Open CSS files when modified" setting
turned off,
then the CSS gets automatically saved to disk *if* the file
has not yet
been loaded. Once the file has been loaded, then DW will not
automatically save it (to avoid writing something on disk
that you don't
want written).
So, you'll need to disable the Related Files feature to have
DW always
automatically save the CSS to disk.
HTH,
Randy

Inability to save edited files

I can no longer save edited text in Adobe Acrobat X1.
I now have error "This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (109)"
Any help is appreciated.
Abonzo

I was wondering if either of you have had any luck nailing
down this problem. We are experiencing it on one of our laptops as
well and I have been baffled by it.
The laptop is a Dell with XP SP2, it was running Captivate
1.0.1 for a while and was upgrade to Captivate 2.0 without removing
Captivate 1. This configuration has worked for months, but suddenly
I can't save anything. If you hit save the hourglass pops up and
goes away with no error messages, but the * in the titlebar
indicating unsaved changes is still there and when I try to close
it asks to save. If I say no or cancel it acts properly, but if I
hit yes to save it, is just goes back to Captivate and doesn't
close or save. Save As will save a file, but it is usually corrupt
when I try to open it later, and the * still doesn't go away.
I have gone so far as to run ProcessMonitor from Sysinternals
but it doesn't show any errors. It doesn't even show that it is
trying to save it. If there are any patches or updates for
Captivate 2 I have been unable to find them on Adobe's site.

Can't save edited files from old catalog

I previously transferred catalogs with over 10,000 photos from Photoshop Elements (PSE) 10 to PSE 12. When I try to edit photos from these catalogs in the Editor, it will not save the edited version. It will save edits on photos that were not originally transferred from PSE 10. I have a Mac with OS 10.9.4. I received no help from Chat Support and was referred to this forum. I primarily want to edit the older photos from previous catalogs so this is major problem for me. Can any help?

Thanks for the response. No, that doesn't help. I've been on the phone with Adobe for hours and they can't seem to fix this. Very frustrating!

How do I save a Report to file using Report Generation vi's?(not HTML)

Hi,
Sorry about re-stating the problem. I am using the Report Generation vi's to create a report. There is an option to save HTML reports to file, however I must use Standard Report because I need to print in Landscape mode. HTML reports will not print in Landscape. One of the requirements is to save the report to file on the hard disk. I have tried to use the standard Open File and Write File vi's. A file is created, but the report is not saved into the file. How do I connect a report so that it will be saved in the file? I already tried simply wiring the report refnum into the data input of the Write File vi.
I have attached an example of my code.
I am using V7.1 Full Version. I have V8 available if that is any help.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

SDM no longer saves updated sdmips.sdf file

I made some changes to to my v4 IPS signatures using SDM 2.5 on an 1841 router, latest release branch firmware. This process has always worked in the past. I can tell it's worked because the changes are present after a reload, and also the date stamp of the sdmips.sdf file changes in flash.
In the last few days it now no longer saves an updated file. If I load 128MB.sdf and make changes, SDM doesn't not save an sdmips.sdf file either.
The only changes I think I've made are that I installed firefox 3.6 and hence had to manually change the JVM back to 1.5x to make it work. Note that all JVMs I've tried don't fix the problem however.
the only other thing I did was install and run SDM locally on this machine - could that have broken things, i.e. the local version has set some local configuration that when I go back to running SDM from flash the SDF file editing no longer works?
btw I only use SDM to edit these files since using SDM for anything else is such a pain.
thanks in advance.
Simon

yes i've seen that before. I had a prototype of a project and as it progressed beyond a prototype I started saving and publishing with a new name. But when I publish now it retains the name I used for the prototype, even tho I've published it several times with the new name. Always defaults back to the first name I used. You're not alone in your frustration.
I'll try to test it a little tomorrow to see if your workaround works for me.

How to edit a pdf file?

I downloaded the free Adobe and i want to edit a pdf file and it wont allow me. asking me to subscribe.

You want to go to the source program you first edited and authored the file in and create a fresh new PDF from that file. You should always save a current copy of the program file which you authored the PDF file in. Acrobat is not really intended for creating content as such. You can do quick edits in Acrobat by setting up the Touch-up preferences, Preferences>General>Touch up, These should point to the programs you use to edit PDF content, in my case the Object editor is Illustrator and Image editor is Photoshop. Now if you select the touch up object tool and the click on the object(s) you want to edit selecting them, then right click to get the contextual menu and select, Edit Object, Acrobat will create a temp file and open it in the program which you selected in preferences. Do the edit and close the temp file, Acrobat uses the temp file to update the open Acrobat PDF file you were working on.
Hope this helps

How to find and edit an .htaccess file?

I trying to set up a podcast/blog in WordPress, and I need to edit an .htaccess file.
I use Fetch as my FTP client to access my web site's hosting account, and I can see that there's an .htaccess file there. I need to get it and add a couple lines of code to it to do a URL redirect.
When I use Fetch to "Get" it, it appears to download okay, but then I can't see it on my desktop or doing a search. I just downloaded EasyFind, on the advice given in another thread, but now I'm wondering, even if I can find the thing, whether I'm going to be able to edit it.
Anybody got experience with this?
Dave

After I posted my inquiry, I solved the problem. Here it is, step-by-step, for somebody wanting a simple solution:
1. Download EasyFind from this location: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11706
2. Launch EasyFind; make sure the option to show hidden files is checked on; and then search for .htaccess. It should show up in a list of all hidden files in wherever you're looking (Desktop or wherever).
3. I double-clicked on .htaccess in EasyFind, and this opened the file in TextEdit. I edited the .htaccess file by adding the command info I needed (in my case, a redirect command). Then I did a simple "Save" command (not Save As...). This saved the edited version as .htaccess (hidden).
4. I launched Fetch, and clicked "Put." In the Put dialog box, there's an option to show hidden files. When I checked that on, there was .htaccess, visible in the list. I selected that and FTPed it to my web server account.
5. I tested the redirect, and it worked like a charm!
Thanks very much to Matt Baya for talking me through some of this, including how to change the .htaccess to do my redirect.

A script that captures the coordinates of the mouse clicks and saves them into a file

Hello,
I'm trying to create a cartoon taking a movie (I've chosen blade runner) as base. I've got the real movie and I've exported all the pictures using VirtualDUB. Now I have a lot of images to modify. I would like to modify the actors faces with the faces generated by Facegen modeller. I'm thinking how to make the whole process automatic because I have a lot of images to manage. I've chosen to use Automate BPA,because it seems the best for this matter. I'm a newbie,so this is my first attempt using Adobe Photoshop and Automate BPA. I wrote a little script. It takes a face generated with Facegen modeller and tries to put it above the original actors faces. But it doesn't work very good and I'm not really satisfied,because the process is not fully automated. To save some time I need to write a script that captures the coordinates of the mouse when I click over the faces and that saves them into a file,so that Automate BPA can read these coordinates from that file and can put the face generated with Facegen Modeller above the original face. I think that Automate BPA is not good for this matter. I think that two coordinates are enough,X and Y. They can be the coordinates of the nose,because it is always in the middle of every face. It is relevant to knows how big should be the layer of the new face,too. This is the Automate BPA code that I wrote :
<AMVARIABLE NAME="nome_foto" TYPE="TEXT"></AMVARIABLE>

and this is a short video to explain better what I want to do :
http://www.flickr.com/photos/26687972@N03/5331705934/
In the last scene of the video you will see the script asking to input the X and the Y coordinates of the nose. This request is time consuming. For this reason I want to write a script that captures automatically the coordinates of the mouse clicks. The only thing to do should be click over the nose and the script should make the rest. As "c.pfaffenbichler" suggested here : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/775219, I could explore 3 ways :
1) use the Color Sampler Tool’s input with a conventional Photoshop Script.
2) use After Effects would provide a better solution.
3) Photoshop’s Animation Panel might also offer some easier way as it might be possible to load two movies (or one movie and one image) and animate the one with the rendered head in relation to the other.
Since I'm a totally newbie in graphic and animation,could you help me to explore these ways ? Thanks for your cooperation.

These are the coordinates of the contours of the face that you see on the picture. Can you explain to me how they are calculated ? The coordinates of the first colums are intuitive,but I'm not able to understand how are calculated the coordinates of the second one.
Thanks.
