Reading .psd layers under OS X 10.7. in 64-bit app

Hi,
I have an application that reads .psd layers content using old QT API (such a GraphicsImportSetImageIndex, GraphicsImportGetDataOffsetAndSize, OpenADefaultComponent etc.).
I need to implement my code to 64-bit application under OSX 10.7. Lion and because old QT API is still 32-bit only I can't use the mentioned API to get layers and images from .psd.
Could anybody advice how to replace old QT API on Lion ? Or, how to get images from .psd file other way than using old QT API.
Thank you.
Peter

I have Speedgrade CS6 installed on my Mac and i have problems renaming my layers when I am grading. I was wondering if anybody can tell me how to rename my layers(Under the look tab). If not, is it because thins is not possible in Speedgrade CS6.

No you can't. Renaming grading layers is a features since version 7 a.k.a. CC. Time to upgrade?

How does Motion Handle PSD Layered Files?

I've done an extensive search on the Discussions looking for an answer to my problem without luck.
I have a layered file created in Illustrator CS. I exported the file to Photoshop so that I could retain the layers. The file opens and looks normal in PS. I want to import this file into Motion 2.0 so that I can animate some of the layers. The PSD file is in CYMK mode as Photoshop will not allow files to be saved as layers in RGB. Motion allows me to import the PSD layered file as individual layers but all of the text and graphics come in yellow and seem to have lost their original color. I have set PS File Handling to Highest.. If I flatten the file it looks fine in Motion but I lose the layers. Does anyone have any suggestions or methods that could help me?
Thank you..

The PSD file is in CYMK mode as Photoshop will not allow files to be saved as layers in RGB
I just created a RGB Photoshop file and added several layers, and saved it.
I used the import command from the File menu, and brought the file in with individual layers -- again saved in RGB.
Why won't your PS version allow you to save in RGB?

Mangled Menu. PSD layers EXPLODE when copied and pasted.

I make a menu in Photoshop (DV Widescreen - I've tried numerous formats) and I make a DV NTSC 16x9 sequence. If I import the PSD file and drag the whole thing into the timeline it looks perfect. If I copy certain layers and try to paste them into my DVD menu sequence the PSD layers just explode. The size explodes, the position is way off.
WTH is going on?

In previous version of FCP (before I HD was standard) I could import PSD files with dozens of layers. I could open the PSD sequence, select whatever layers I wanted and paste them into other sequences. The layers would keep all their attributes and positions relative to the original document. This made it very easy to create motion menus for DVD SP. Now when I try the same thing the layers go freaking nuts.
I can see just fixing the file in PSD would solve the problem but if I'm creating numerous menus with slight variations, I need a PSD file for each menu instead of a master PSD file with the elements for all the menus. Minor I suppose but it just seems counter intuitive to have the layers to lose all their scale and position attributes just because they were pasted into a different sequence.
Does this not seem odd to anyone or am I on crack? Or am I missing some obvious setting or aspect ratio?

I've lost my list of passwords. How can I read what's under the asterisks as text

AS I've lost all my written lists for my ipad passwords is there an app so I can read what's under the asterisks, or any other way?

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Accessing multiple PSD layers in Adobe Photoshop Touch from Creative Cloud is important to me.

Accessing multiple PSD layers in Adobe Photoshop Touch from Creative Cloud is important to me. When will Touch be updated with this function? Want the ability to view multiple layers the same way Creative Cloud website can. Having the ability to turn multiple layers on an off in Touch from and uploaded PSD file. As it stand Touch flattens imported Layered PSD files. (Not very useful)

Hi Bford225,
I moved your post over to the Photoshop Touch forum because it seemed mostly about Photoshop Touch.
Currently, I'd recommend converting RAW images to Jpeg in either Photoshop or Lightroom and then uploading them to Creative Cloud for working with them in Photoshop Touch. I know raw support is something our developers are considering so please add your vote here:

How you best incorporate Photoshop Touch into your workflow is hard to say. What works best for one person may not be true for everyone. Photoshop Touch obviously doesn't have all the capabilities of its desktop counterpart but it does have the ease of use and portability of being on a tablet. Personally, I like using Photoshop Touch for editing images taken with the iPad or my iPhone for convience versus transferring to transfer to the computer, or even if I still do, I can do some of the initial edits from the tablet first. Its nice when I only have the tablet available and not a computer. For images I take with my DSLR I always do my editing in Photoshop and Lightroom. I'm able to make any adjustments on the computer much faster than on a tablet.
If you have the option to shoot in both Jpeg and RAW that might be good option (best of both worlds). Do you have the ability to import images from the camera without using a computer - using a camera connectivity kit or something like that? My recommendation would be expermentation, test out different workflows on the tablet and see how you like it and find what works best for you.

IN I.E. 11 under manage-Addons Adobe reader only appears under Run Without permission not under currently loaded

IN I.E. 11 under manage-Addons Adobe reader only appears under Run Without permission not under currently loaded
Is this expected behavior. I have some sites that will not load adobe documents. The site in question is a School District application that we cannot open seating charts.
This was installed using an MSI. Test sites I go to work fine.

I believe with further investigation that this is normal and when a PDF document is open it then shows in currently loaded.

Reading the word under the cursor within MS Word

I saw a very interesting article yesterday.
Reading the word under the cursor
And confirmed it today. Yes, it works fine with me.
But, it works only with Notepad.
It, even, does not work with Visual Studio itself.
(Of course not with Notepad++ too.)
Now. Simple asking.
Can you show me how to do it within MS Word using VSTO ?
I am with Word 2010.
Regards

Hi Using_Word_Everydai,
>>You do not need to consider any kind of method within VBA (as your explanations) or do not calculate the location of caret (as your explanations). <<
I would explian more detail about VBA and VSTO. Based on my understanding, we can automate Word application using Word object model in VBA and Word PIAs in VSTO solution. And there is tiny difference on the API, that the reaseon I provide a VBA demo.
>>Reading the word under the cursor within MS Word<<
Here is the code that for your reference to achieve the goal in VSTO solution(application level add-in):
MessageBox.Show(Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.Selection.Range.Words[1].Text);
>>
Now, I have three steps.
1. Move to there.
2. Press "Alt_key"
3. Click Mouse button.<<
I am still not able to under the secnario you are handling exactly. Based on my understanding, if we want to grab the wrod in the document, we need to move the mouse click the word in the document then we can call the code above to grabe the Word under the
cursor.
For example, we can custom the ribbon of Word and add a custom button. Then click the word we need to grab then click the custom button to get the word.
If I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

Opening PSD layers in the timeline.

I have forever and a day opened PSD layers in Photoshop by double clicking the graphic on the timeline. Now nothing. Haven't changed settings or preferences. Not sure what to do. Is it something obvious I'm missing?

Michelle,
Your post is a bit confusing to me since you said; "I have forever and a day opened PSD layers in Photoshop by double clicking the graphic on the timeline."
The normal action when double-clicking a layered PSD file in the Timeline is that it opens in its own timeline since FCP treats layered PSDs as a nested Sequence. They will not open in Photoshop as you suggest. To get a PSD to open in Photoshop, right-click on it and select "Open in Editor."
But I may have misinterpreted want you want to do ... did you really mean "open in Photoshop" or do you mean you want to access the individual layers of the file in FCP?

Psd layers expanding

I have a photoshop template for supers supplied to me by a producer which are scaled at 720x480 & positioned at the bottom of the screen. When I import them into fcp, they scale up to fill the screen & center. I have to resize & re-position every time. Is there a setting somewhere so that I don't have to do this? It happens with all psd layers, not just this particular template. Other gfx(tif, jpg, png) are all fine. Thanks!

There is a "do not scale imports to screen size" check box in the user preferences.
User Preferences>Editing - uncheck "Always scale clips to sequence size".

I had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support to set up my new ID.

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

To add to Nick's comments, "Other" is typically approximately 1 gigabyte. Occasionally for some users, it gets much (many times) bigger because they have some corrupt files. If that's the case, it's best to restore the iPhone.
Plug the iPhone into (current) iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" on the right. If restoring from the iPhone backup does not help, then restore (again) as new and then manaully sync the iPhone.

Hi norlowski,
Do you already have the Kindle app downloaded to an iPhone or another iPad? Do you have "Automatic Downloads" turned on under Settings>iTunes & App Store for Apps on your iPad?
You might want to try touching and holding the Kindle App option in your Purchased list, and when it highlights, let go, and it will go to a a detail page for the app with another "Open" option on it. See if it will open from there.
If you do have Automatic Downloads turned on on the iPad, turn it off, and then go back to purchased to see if the Kindle is still showing as "Open".
Post back with results!
Cheers,

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

The only reason I upgraded to Mavericks was because my Snow Leopard OS was 32 bit, which I was told would support only 4GB of RAM.
That wasn't quite right. You can put in as much RAM as your Mac's hardware supports. The division is in the apps themselves. A 32 bit app can't use more than 4 GB or RAM. A 64 bit app can use much more.
For example, as a 32 bit only version, Photoshop CS3 can't use more 4GB of RAM, no matter how much you actually have installed. CS4 or later can use all the RAM you want to throw at it.
