Round tripping with Fireworks CS3

I am using Dreamweaver/Fireworks CS3 and editing images
between Dreamweaver and Fireworks by round-tripping via the
Property Inspector is a very cool feature. However, I can't seem to
use this same feature with background images linked to the page in
a CSS style sheet, because there is not way to "select" the image
in Design View.
Is there a way to "select" a background image linked to the
page in a CSS style sheet, so it will show up in the property
inspector where I can edit the source file? There has to be a way!
Can anyone help me out?

not directly from the design view window-
But find out the image's name and folder location from
whatever code it's
called in, and then go to the Files Panel and right-click on
the file to
edit or optimize it in fireworks. If it's a background, it's
a single image.
If it's part of an inserted .png table or similar, select an
adjacent real
image that's part of the same .png and pick the round trip
option.

When round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

Issue with Fireworks CS3

I'm experiencing an annoying issue with Fireworks CS3.
Immediate use of the application is not available after its opened.
Meaning, clicking on the application menu more than once returns a
message in the title bar, "Adobe Fireworks CS3 (Not
Responding)", and it hangs there at least 30 seconds or so
until it's ready to be used. And this is even having Windows Aero
disabled.
I recently formatted my computer and have minimal programs
installed. Here's an overview:
Windows Vista Business x64
Intel Core2 Quad CPU @2.40 GHz, 2400 MHz, 4 Cores
8 GB Memory - DDR2
500G 8M 7200 SATA II Hard Drives (x2)
GeForce 8600GT 256M video card
Office 2007 Ultimate (complete install)
CS3 Web Standard (less Contribute and Version Cue)
Acrobat Pro 8.1.1
iTunes 7.6
QuickTime 7
If anyone has an idea why this may be happening, please let
me know.
Thanks,
Mike

Clutching at straws here but my last bit of advice would be
to make sure
you have the latest NVidia drivers for your graphics card.
Other than
that I don't know what else to tell you except that Fireworks
works
great for me which of course doesn't help. Maybe a call to
support would
get you some more pointed advice are you certainly don't seem
to be
alone with this issue although it doesn't affect every Vista
user.
FWIW, before I got this machine last July (2007) I ran CS3 on
an aging
2001 AMD Athlon 1 GHz machine with 1 GB or Ram (running XP
Pro). While
no CS3 (or any other) application was blazingly fast,
Fireworks was no
worse than any other. The worst offender for me was
Illustrator.
There has to be a combination of hardware, drivers or memory
resident
apps that makes it worse for Fireworks somehow but these
kinds of issues
are the hadest to troubleshoot. That's why I think getting a
hold of
Adobe's official support may help as I hope they are
gathering data on
this to hopefully pinpoint a cause for the problem and may
have some
more meaningful advice than I or other users here may be able
to give.

Round trip to PS CS3 does not show the saved image in Aperture 2.1.1

Good evening everyone; I hope someone can help me to solve this.
I have PS CS3 set as my external photo processing app (exports are PSD 16-bit 300 dpi) in Aperture 2.1.1. When I process the picture in CS3 and then save it(mind you I only SAVE, I do not do SAVE AS) as PSD (or TIFF) Aperture only shows me the original file in preview with the little circle informing me about the round trip to CS3. So the processed file does not show. Instead I only see two identical versions of the same photo.( I mean, I see the master and the version with the little circle).
If I save the work in PS CS3 as jpeg and then import into Aperture, it shows fine. When trying to import the processed and saved PSD and TIFF files, Aperture only shows the original file.
If it helps, I am working on layered pictures (HDR) where I use different parts of different pictures to get wide dynamic range. I export 3 or so photos from Aperture at once to CS3, process them into one, flatten the picture and save it.
And then Aperture just shows me the original file as version.
I have done this before 2.1.1 and it worked. Not sure if I have changed anything that might be causing this.
Thank you for your ideas.

I am sure it is not stacked under the original, unfortunately. Any other tips?
Also, as I mentioned earlier, even if I save the processed file in CS3 as PSD (so I use SAVE AS) and then try to import it into Aperture, it "magically" only shows the orginal (as if it was just importing some layer).

Problems with Fireworks CS3 in Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Pro from Windows XP Pro. My Fireworks CS3 is having a problem. I cannot select items in the left side menu bar if I minimize or move the Fireworks CS3 window. If I have just opened the window it works, but minimize the window or move it and the toolbar stops working.
This problem is not unique to my machine. 2 other people are having the exact same problem. Here is the link to the Windows 7 forum:
http://www.sevenforums.com/software/26957-adobe-fireworks-cs3-issue.html
We sure could use some help. This is one of my bread and butter programs.

I'm happy to hear you have other work-around alternatives!
Businesses with mission-critical software usually are very careful to research that their software will run on any proposed new system or that alternative software is available. This is the main reason that Microsoft had to continue supporting XP longer than they intended. Too much business-critical software ran on XP but did not run under Vista and would take some time before it would be upgraded to do so...if at all.
If you have "bread and butter" apps, then it was your responsibility to make sure that you could run them once you upgraded. Adobe's software worked more or less as advertised for the operating systems that were available at the time the versions were released. That's reasonable. Expecting indefinite support into the future is not.
Fireworks isn't a $2000 product. Adobe continues product development, yes. They've moved on to CS4 and its patches. You can upgrade to FW CS4 for about $150. The system requirements for FW CS4 do not include Windows 7; note that Fireworks is only certified for 32-bit operating systems:
http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/software/fireworks4/systemreqs.html
However, there's a statement about CS4 applications (in general) working with Windows 7:
http://www.adobe.com/products/fireworks/faq/?anonymous_element_1=4
And you'd want to get the recent updater:

If the feature worked under Vista but does not work under Windows 7, then that means that the problem probably lies somewhere in how the program communicates with the OS. The problem is not isolated to the tens - possibly hundreds - of thousands of lines of Fireworks code, but in how that code interacts with the Windows 7 APIs. To solve this problem is not the work of "an Adobe engineer." It's the work of a project team. It's the work of a project team which would have to be pulled off development of Fireworks CS5 for a few months to resurrect the old CS3 code, get familiar with it, and try to track down and solve the problem, then package up, test, and release a patch . By pulling resources off CS5 development, CS5 would be delayed or quality inversely impacted. Since CS3 is not a current product for sale, I can't see Adobe making this investment. There's no return on it, where there would be a return on getting a quality FW CS5 out the door on time.

Catalyst and HTML/CSS Round Trip with Flash?

Question one: I was wondering if Catalyst will be able to assist in importing into Flash an existing (or under development) HTML page which contains flash apps --to make technical changes such as insert more multimedia? audio, swf, jpgs, etc?
I have a nearly completed html/css page that contains Flash etc., but I'd like to add a new swf at the beginning of the page and edit it in Flash to be sympatico with the overall style established in Dreamweaver. I am using CS4 Premium Creative Suite.
I know how to bring Flash files into Dreamweaver but a round trip would be so great! Can Catalyst do it? or what do you recommend?
Question two: I am hoping to give Catalyst Beta a try where do I sign in for it?

Hey Joy,
Currently there isn't any way to go between Flash Catalyst and Flash CS4. You can bring the SWFs you create in Catalyst into Dreamweaver in the same way you bring in other SWFs, but it won't be able to edit or change any of your current Flash files.
And the public beta is getting close, we're still looking at late May, early June. You can sign up here - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=flashcatalyst_notify - to be notified when Catalyst goes beta.

Problem with Fireworks CS3 Startup

Hello all,
My name is Logan May and I work for a company called
Sutherland Design Agency. My problem seems to be persisting with
non administrator users on my new fresh install of leopard. Over
the last few days we have wiped and installed leopard on all of our
machines. A couple of the machines have run into some issues.
Fireworks and other CS3 applications randomly stop working and we
get messages saying they quit unexpectedly. However, they still
work on the administrator users. Why is this? We use CS3 a lot in
our company and after a day or so of use we start getting this
error message. Does it have something to do with a bad adobe
update? leopard?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Slideshow Issues with Fireworks CS3

Hello all,
I apologize in advance for this; I'm trying to fully take
advantage of all the software included in Creative Suite 3 Web
Premium. I've been using Dreamweaver and Photoshop almost
exclusively, and thusly haven't touched Fireworks until this
morning.
I thought it would be nice to have Fireworks produce a
slideshow for my website using the "Create
Slideshow" feature. I have all the images in a folder on
my desktop (my iMac desktop.) The album selector allows me to
choose that folder and uploads the pictures into the images window.
If I choose to create the slideshow and have the files exported
back to the desktop, it shows a nice progress bar and (pretends,
apparently) to write the necessary files.
However, that's all it does. Pretend. The filenames of the
images, when clicked in the images window, do not load previews
into the preview pane. The empty pane says "file not
found." And when I attempt to "preview in web
browser," Safari gives me a "file not
found" error. Sure enough, when I go back to make sure the
.swf and .xml files have been written, I discover they are not.
Fireworks behaves the same regardless of whether I use the
Flash-based or SPRY based players.
Since my problems were addressed verbatim in
this
thread, I made sure there were no spaces or capital letters in
either my folder or filenames (there aren't,) and Fireworks only
has to go as deep as my desktop to import and export the files it
needs/produces.
Please tell me I'm making some sort of newbie error. Since I
use Dreamweaver, I am making the (somewhat large) assumption that
Fireworks can work offline. That is, none of these files are
uploaded to my web server, nor is the finished product uploaded to
my web server. Is that the problem? I'm so very stumped right now.
Thanks,
~G~ (Ha. The forums censor my name.)

Hi,
Not much I can do, as I'm not on a Mac and I couldn't get the
link (even
after I'd stuck the clipped bit back on the end) to work, so
couldn't get to
the 'history'.
Does this ...
www.fasterthanu.com
...work for you? If it does, will a peak at the code help
with your problem?
If not, if you'd like to zip up a few of the images you want
to create your
gallery with and specify the gallery you want, I'll have a go
at knocking
together a gallery for you. Then, perhaps we can establish
what's going
wrong from your end. Send any zipped files to peter (at)
fasterthanu. com

Is it possible to round trip with Motion 5?

I just want a send to motion feature. Are there 3rd party plugins that can do that for me? I would totally pay for it.

Absolutely correct. (Wonder how many feature requests have been submitted for this…)

Round tripping with the new Photoshop Elements 9

After installing elements 9, I am able to get photo from Aperture to Elements but after saving changes the changes do not show up on Aperture side. Has anyone had the same problem & is there a way to fix problem?

If you have correctly set up PSE 9 as your external editor in Aperture and are using it that way, then the problem lies in your save preferences in PSE. Go to Photoshop Elements>Preferences>Saving Files and set On First Save to save over the original file without showing you the Save As dialog box. That's the only way for image management systems like Aperture or iPhoto to know to create versions.

Round trips motion with FlexMotion

I am EAGERLY looking for a LabView routine that allows the M-UTM150CC.1 motorized stage (driven through the ESP 100 controller) to perform a choosable number of round trips with the same velocity profile as it already has for one way out (for one way out, I have already the code)
Is the FlexMotion card could solve my problem? How much does it cost?

We bought in 1996 the FlexMotion 1035 (ISA card) which was at that time built by nuLogic, a startup from the MIT. Someone from nuLogic has been employed by National Instruments, I would like to get in touch with him to know what are the differences between the model PCI-7334 you propose me and the above one.
PLEASE answer me SOON because it is PRESSING
The references written on the card are the following:

How do I get Fireworks CS3 to work in Windows 7? After installation my internet would not function.

I installed
Fireworks CS3 in the new Windows 7. It seemed to function well. After a reboot I noticed my internet would not work. I attempted to resolve the matter but was unsuccessful. Has anybody had this problem? If so what is the fix.

Is Windows 64bit or 32bit?
I've heard that 64bit Win7 will not play well with Fireworks CS3. Try to run Fireworks CS3 in some WinXP Compatibility Mode in Win7 -- I think this mode is available in Win7 Pro and Ultimate...
Hope this helps...
Cheers!

PSD File Assiciations Fireworks CS3

Hi
Having lots of problems with Fireworks CS3 on PC (XP). Most
of these issues I can live with but the main problem is that I just
can't get it to associate with PSD files. After trying to do it
manually, the Fireworks icon shows on PSD files but when I double
click on the image icon it tries to open in Acrobat. When I
uninstall Acrobat it tries to open in Dreamweaver. When I uninstall
Dreamweaver it tries to open in an image viewer I have installed.
If I try to open it manually by going through the Folder
Options (or right click "Open With") route & click on
Fireworks.exe, it still tries to open in other applications
(Acrobat then Dreamweaver etc). Fireworks never shows in the list
of "Recommened Programs", so I need to browse for it.
Thanks for any help (Adobe & MS support could not help).

Can you not simple select it in File Type and choose
Fireworks and choose always use this program? That should work.
