Save an adjustment as default

Hi,
when I import my raw files, they are generally a bit too dark. So every image gets a +1.0 exposure to start with. Is it possible to save this as default somehow?
p.

Save the adjustment to an Image Adjustment Preset. You can then apply the Preset (even on import, if you want).
Note that for RAW files, you can also alter the settings in the RAW Fine Tuning Brick, and save them as a default that is always applied to files from your camera.
Do you have a hardware-calibrated monitor? If you are making exposure decisions based on sight, it is important that you are correcting to a standard (calibration calibrates your monitor to a standard) and not wasting your time correcting for out-of-standard devices.

Save develop settings as default import

Jim Hess wrote in a post the other day
'In my case, I chose to adjust one of my images that closely represents my "normal" shooting style. I adjusted everything until that image looked the way I wanted it to look. Then I saved those settings as my default settings.'
I tried to do this save this morning instead of using the develop preset within the import session
I went up into the Develop menu and clicked on 'Set Default Settings'. An ominous message arrives including the ISO used, camera # type....hmmmm.....I think I have been here before.....and previously I backed out and went with import presets.
Is this "Set Default Settings' menu choice the procedure for imbedding the basic adjustments desired at import? I have the preferences set to include 'make default specific to the Camera Iso setting' so does the preference setting override the 'make this the default' when I'm on a specific image which happens to have an ISO 400?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

Save for Web filetype default in PSE 8 on Windows 7

I just installed PSE 8 on a new Windows 7 system. On my earlier Windows XP system running PSE 6, the Save for Web filetype defaulted to JPEG Medium, which is what I wanted. On this installation, it defaults every time to GIF; I change it and save the file as a JPEG, and the next one defaults again to GIF. Closing PSE, rebooting Windows, nothing changes that. I would like to make the default JPEG Medium; is there a way?

On a MAC it does seem to stick on the last option you saved e.g. Jpeg if it was a Jpeg image.
For windows, this seems to work:
Find the file PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe using explorer (in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0 folder) right click on that file and choose Run As Administrator.
Go back to the editor, open an image, select Save for Web and choose jpeg; then save that file. The next time you run the editor and use the save for web command the jpeg type should hopefully stick as the default.

PSE 7 - Save for Web - Now Defaults to GIF - Prefer JPEG - Can I change it?

When using PSE 7.0 File > Save for Web, I generally want the files to be JPEGs. In previous versions, the file format on this menu would stay at JPEG once you set it there. Now, each time I open the menu it returns to GIF. Is there a way to have it default or hold as a JPEG in that field?
Thank you!
Beverly

Is there a competing program that is as good as PSE that I could try? I am having a few annoying problems with this program and I think it is time to try something else. I was really excited to use the Photoshop family of photos, but these three problems are getting me down:
1) I hate that the save for web function defaults to .gif. It is really annoying. The fact that they have a tool to fix it yet that doesn't even work makes me even more bummed out.
2) When I try to go from the organizer to the editor, it literally takes about 20 seconds for the photo to load. That is a big waste of time.
3) Sometimes, when I am in the quick edit mode, the zoom feature doesn't work. Other times, the cropping feature doesn't work. I click it back to the full edit, and those functions work. It is odd.
It isn't like I am trying to split the atom here. I am relatively computer savvy, and all I want to do is edit photos. I have had many problems like this with the previous version as well as the latest one.

How to save the current Indesign defaults file?

Hi, I've tried following the Indesign Classroom in a book but I find it left a lot to be desired for anyone new to this e.g ME!!!!. So can someone please tell me how I can save the current InDesign defaults file on a windows and if you can please do so like you would, for lack of a better word or term, an idiot because I'm fitting that description pretty well right now. Any help will be greatly appreciated and you will forever in my mind be a god, thank you =DDDDD.

Hi, im not too sure (I thought it was a stock standard thing, sorry) so I'll fust give you the instructions my book has.
To save the curren InDesign Defaults file, Follow these steps:
1, Quit Adobe InDesigns CS5.
2, Locate The Indesigns Defaults file.
. In Windows, the InDesign Defaults file is located in the Documents and Settings/Users/Username/Library/ Application Data/ Adobe/ InDesign/ Version 7.0/en_US folder.
3, Drag the Indesign Defaults file to another folder on you hard drive.
When you launch Adobe Indesign CS5 after moving the InDesigns Defaults file to another folder, a new InDesign Defaults file is automatically created and all prefrences and defaults are reset to their original factory setting.
Okay that's all of it and as far I can get is to the app data, for some reason my notebook doesnt have it and I've been trying to find other ways of getting to it but im having no luck. I would really like to avoid the Ctrl+ Alt+Shift thing because I'll apparently lose any saved settings that I might want to keep.
Hopefully that all makes sense, thank you for responding and your time =3.

Is there a way to adjust the default prefs inside (Safari)package contents?

Hello All,
Following another posting re default prefs resetting for Safari each time I reboot out of Windows back into OS X, I got thinking..
Is there a way I can adjust the default prefs inside Safari (the package in App folder) so every time it resets, it will have my desired settings..?

The defaults.plist file in the Safari package will not let you do anything that you can't already do with the user's com.apple.Safari.plist file, so there is no point in changing the defaults.plist file
I think you're misunderstanding the OP
The OP is saying that if they reset Safari, or it loses it's settings (as he referred to in first post) to some issue with XP/Boot Camp then they'd like the default settings used by Safari to be those that got blown away (for whatever reason that may be)
By changing the defaults in Safari they won't have to go through having to set them all up again, as the defaults will now be their preferred setup anyway.
Anyhoo, KingRichard I think you can do it if you really want, but it might make more sense to figure out why your settings keep getting removed

Set Appleworks to save as .doc by default?

Hi, is there a way to set Appleworks word processing to save as .doc format and spreadsheets to save as .xls by default? (without having to set the save-as file type manually) Is it illegal for MS Office competing products to do this (ex. Mellel, Appleworks, etc)? I feel like if you're going to compete with MS Office on an enterprise level, you need to adapt your product to save as MS Office file types by default... product dominance.

Hello Nova.
I understand your wishes.
BUT Apple made different choices and AppleWorks will not evolve so what are you hoping ?
I can't tell you: me a simple user like you will add the required feature to at our old AppleWorks.
Restoring Neutra's buildings cost much more than the original construction did.
It's the same for applications.
A serious revamping of AppleWorks would have required a lot of bucks resulting in a probably "not really up to date" product.
Apple choose to leave it and enter a new era with iWork.
At this time, if I remember well, we are not allowed to set Pages's default save format to .doc but as the app is young, you may send a request about this feature to Apple. They are listening and I will not post to them telling: don't do that

When I set my screen saver to iLibrary it defaults to national geographic,why and how can I stop it

when I set my screen saver to iLibrary it defaults to national geographic,why and how can I stop it

Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder named "ByHost" should open. Look inside it for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them all to the Trash.
Log out or restart the computer. Test. If the problem is resolved, empty the Trash and recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.

Change "save to" prompt's default location

I have Firefox set to ask me where to download everything I download, and not to download to one particular folder. The "save to" window used to remember what my last save location was, but now whenever I restart Firefox, it defaults to a "User/Downloads" folder, and I have to navigate to where I want to go. It remembers where that location is for the session, but reverts after I close and re-open Firefox.
I'd like to reset firefox to remember previous save locations, instead of defaulting to the "downloads" folder. Thank you.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About two days ago? No new add-ons were installed, though I think Firefox just had a minor update.

Please do this:
# go into ''Help > Troubleshooting Information...''
# click ''Open Containing Folder''
# close Firefox
# in the folder that opened in point 2, rename the file ''downloads.sqlite'' into ''downloads.sqlite.bak''
# open Firefox
Now your downloads will hopefully remember where you saved them. Of course, your download history will be in the ''downloads.sqlite'', which, if doing this works, is corrupt and should not be used. You can restore it back, if you want. Or delete it.

Save new camera raw defaults for already opened smart objects.

I've a question about Photoshop and Smart Objects, as I like to use Smart Filters. I open my raw photos in Camera Raw, I adjust them and then continue editing in Photoshop as smart objects.
My problem is that if during editing in Photoshop I adjust again some parameters reopening the photo in Camera Raw, there's no way I can save the new adjustments for the next time I want to open the raw again.
I happened to me I changed a lot of parameters and I wanted to have them as defaults for that photo.
Quite simply: if I I want to save new Camera Raw edits as defaults for that photo, how can I do?
P.S. I tried saving a new snapshot, but they disappear if I open the raw again.

Thanks for your answer. Actually inserting the photo as a linked object does what I want, but it's awkward, slow and not so immediate. Also I have to open the photo from the beginning like that, as a new layer.
There should be an option inside camera raw like "update original with new settings".

Windows CS6 "save as" action always defaults to last save place instead of saving where action is intended to. Please help

Hi all,
I am using CS6 64bit on a Windows 7 Enterprise machine at work. I have used Macs here for years and never had this problem but when I create an action that is designed to "save as" (because I must change the file name) a single file into a specific directory on the network Photoshop always defaults to saving into the last place I saved instead of saving into the place where the action tells it to save to. The action contains 2 saves and then a close and only the first save brings up the dialogue so we can change the name of the file. That dialogue box always contains the last save location instead of the desired location the action is intended to save to. The second save always goes to the correct place and the close works fine.
The only time this does not happen is when Photoshop is first launched. In that case when I click the action it always tries to save into the original folder on the network where I opened the file from.
I have already unchecked the box in preferences for "save as to original folder" and do not know what else to try.
Previously on Macs I have never experienced this issue at all. I have been opening files on my network and saving them to other network directories for years over many different versions of Photoshop on a Mac and not once have I had an issue. Is it a PC thing? Is there something else I can try? I need to deploy these PC's to employees and can not do so unless this action works as we process high volumes of images and do not have the time to navigate manually to each directory we must save in.

Welcome to the club! I hate that but live with it.
When I download from the camera, Photoshop Bridge generates a folder according to the date shot, say 20141212. The images then are 20141212_1 to 20141212_xxx; whatever the final count is from the download. But let's say I rename the image or perhaps have a Photomerge of several frames. Then the connection is lost and Photoshop reverts to the last folder before the current one. So one has to watch to steer that "Save As" to the one you want, in this case 20141212. However, after that occurs, subsequent Saves will go to folder, 20141212. (because it is now the last one)
The principle I follow is that if the folder with the images is new, I am careful with "Save As" if the file I am saving is not directly connected with that folder"s numbering system.

Can't adjust the default time scale when creating a new appointment in Outlook 2010

Good Afternoon, I have found a question on these community boards that propose an issue that I am currently experiencing. The answer; however, was not the solution for me. I used the same name as the original post and will add the original text as it is
exactly what I am experiencing.
"When creating a new appointment in the month view Outlook 2010, the default time scale or duration is 2 days. I tried resetting the view, adjusting the time scale, and creating a new profile. It only seems to happen when creating the appointment
in the Month view. ??? Day and week view work fine and appointment can be created w the standard 30 minute time scale. But the time scale in the month view although says 30 mins, it creates appointments in 2 day durations."
This is exactly what happens to the user I am assisting. When in "month view" double clicking the day will bring up a new appointment with the times within the same day. If you click the "new appointment" button in the ribbon it
sets the end time to the following day. This only happens in the month view every other view works as it normally should. I have tried it several times being sure multiple days are not selected. It still gives me an end time for the following day. I have reset
the view, changed the time scale but nothing seems to bring it back to the default same day appointment. Any ideas?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

It is a default in Outlook 2010 in month view. The "time scale" selection is greyed out. Very frustrating. Everytime I select "New Appointment," a duration of 1 day is automatically selected; midnight to midnight. I end up doing
most appointments twice because I forget to change to end date back to the day of the appointment. "New meeting Request" works fine. So does "New All Day Event" when you deselect "All Day Event." I can't see how this default behavior
provides optimal results under any circumstances. Very frustrating.

How do I change the 'process' from 2012 (current) to 2010 in Camera Raw and save it as my default?

I have tried several times to change my default back to 2010 but every time I import a new batch it reverts back to 2012 (current).
I have tried 'reset camera raw defaults' and 'save as new camera raw defaults'.
Any help would be fab thanks

Thanks Yammer - that was exactly what I was trying to do, but it doesn't save it - each time I bring in a new batch or a new image I have to do it again on each image
