Save As EPS dialog problem

Transparency problem in Save As EPS dialog - disabled from yesterday without reason. Working fine 2 years.
Please help. Tnx

Do you mean the transparent radio button is not available. The options under transparency will only be available if your document contains some blending mode or overprint.

Photoshop won't open Save As... dialog (not a low-res problem)

Pretty much what the title says. Photoshop will ocassionally (not always) refuse to bring up the Save As... dialog. However, once it does, it continues to refuse until the machine is rebooted or all instances of explorer.exe are killed. (I should add that sometimes, restarting Photoshop will fix it, but it usually does not.)
No, I don't have a netbook or whatever with a tiny screen (which is one reason I've heard cited). It's a full-size laptop; resolution is usually set to either 1366x768 or 1280x768, neither setting makes any difference.
What's going on? Clearly it seems to be a problem with the Windows shell itself, since restarting Explorer seems to resolve the issue (at least temporarily). I've tried looking for memory/handle/GDI leaks to no avail. How I can keep this from occurring?
I'm running Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 on Windows XP SP3.

Your resolution is over the minimum for width, but not for height (768) and since
that is right on the cusp of the required resolution in order to display the save as
dialog, maybe due to the windows theme your using or something else different about your
monitor, once in while photoshop thinks the height resolution is not enough to display the dialog.
If you can't increase your resolution, maybe you could try using the windows classic or
stardard theme just to see if you encounter problems with the save as dialog.
Added: as always with wacky photoshop problems resetting the photoshop preferences is
also a good idea:

Save As & Open Dialog Window for some documents hangs when custom VSTO plugin is installed

Hello,
I have created a VSTO application which uploads a word document to Document Management Server. The problem is not with this plugin, but after the plugin is installed, for certain documents when user makes some modification to the document and clicks on File
-> Save As or File ->Open, the Save As/Open Dialog window, does not show up and the Word application will be hung (spinning) as it should do if the Save As dialog window would have been shown. The only option is then to kill the WinWord process
from Task Manager. When I kill the WinWord process from task manager, I see the Save As Dialog window appear for a split second before the WinWord Process shuts down.
If I uninstall the VSTO application, everything works fine.
Details on the application:
Target Framework: .NET Framework 4
Platform Target: x86
OS (Developer and End User): Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit
Microsoft Office: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Version: 14.0.6129.5000 (32-bit)

Hi Eugene,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I have tried an empty add-in project as well. Added a label to the ribbon and displayed a static text. I am able to reproduce the issue with this add-in as well. The issue is only reproducable if I deploy the add-in using a setup and deployment project.
While building the project, Visual Studio installs the add-in by default. If I open the problematic documents with the "developement" version of the add-in installed, it seems to be working fine.

Yogesh

Since it could be reproduced if you deploy any add-in with a setup project, it seems this issue may be related to the your environment.
It will be helpful if you could share the following information with us.
The configuration about that setup project and your add-in.
Whether your user account has admin privilege or not.
To narrow down this issue, you could consider installing that add-in with setup project in a clean machine.
If it could reproduce this issue, then we could focus on that setup project instead.
If not, then we'd better focus on your environment to narrow down this issue.

Save for web filename problems

I'm using a script to export layers to PNGs - but the filenames are getting screwed up.
Here's the export function:
function saveForWebPNG(name){
var docName = activeDocument.name;
docName = docName.slice(0,-4);
toWhere = new File(fullPath+"/"+docName+name+".png");
var opts = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
opts.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
opts.PNG8 = false;
opts.transparency = true;
opts.interlaced = false;
opts.quality = 100;
activeDocument.exportDocument(toWhere, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, opts);
I end up with things like this:
_generic_filter_failed_disabl#0
when it should be:
_generic_filter_failed_disabled.png
I have a feeling this might be to do with the settings trying to limit it to 32 characters (so they're unix compatible) - but if I change the settings in the Save for web dialog it makes no difference.
TIA,
James

> I have a feeling this might be to do with the settings trying to limit it to 32 characters
Yep. It's a hard limit on either the Mac or XP. You may be able to create
filenames with more than 32 characters, but only the first 32 are significant.
Back in the earlier MS-DOS days it was far worse.
>(so they're unix compatible)
Not a unix problem. You're filenames can be incredibly long on unix.
>- but if I change the settings in the Save for web dialog it makes no difference.
I really don't know what that setting controls. I thought it was more like the
character set or encoding of the filenames. Let me know if you figure it out.

Save For Web transparency problem: Overprint & CMYK documents

OK, I had a weird problem crop up today (as far as I can tell) completely out of the blue.
When I am working in overprint preview mode in a CMYK document, and I attempt to save an artboard as a PNG w/ transparency (via Save for Web), illustrator forces a white background throughout the image. It didn't do this until this morning. Yesterday, it was working perfectly normally. I put the computer to sleep at the end of the day, woke it up this morning, and for some reason this behavior has changed.
It does not do this if the document is in RGB mode, or I have the transparency grid shown, or not in overprint preview mode. (I work in this mode because for some reason having it in standard preview shows very strange artifacts when working with raster effects, which drives me crazy)
I'm on a Mid 2014 MBP Retina, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 w/ NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048MB, running illustrator CC 2014.1.1.
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting the computer, resetting all settings, as well as changing document settings, and editing artboard settings. And yes, the transparency checkbox is checked in the Save For Web dialog.
Any ideas?

brnscreative,
Have you tried 4) and 6) on the list?
4) is more thorough than 3), and 6) is the full reinstallation.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How to get save file as dialog?

Hi,
I want to copy the file and save it as another the file using Save As file dialog box. So I searched this forum and found this artical. But the activeX control used in this vi. i.e.MSComDlg.ICommonDialog could not be loaded in my system(as shown when I open the vi, downloaded from above link). What might be reason for it? Or does NI provide any other method/vi to display Save As file dialog.
Thanks in advance.

Mike

You can not force the user to enter a "defined" file name. If you use the standard file dialog, you can always get an "invalid" result.
To solve your problems, I have two solutions in mind.
1. If you keep the file dialog, you have to check the resulting path for its ending. According to this check either add ".csv" or replace the ending with ".csv". Because if the user enters "filename.txt" in the filename control, the file has ".txt" ad ending.
2. You could also create a special file dialog on your own with a path control to browse to an existing directory and a string control to enter a filename. You can set the pathcontrol to just browse for a directory. The input of the string control can be checked for anything - so for instance you could check if there are blanks in the filename or if the user entered an ending. Then you could notify the user via messagebox to enter a valid filename. The ending can be added automatically, so you always have a .csv ending.

Illustrator CS6 EPS 10 Problem

Hello,
i have a problem whis Illustrator CS6 and EPS 10!
i need to save my files in eps10 for (istock, shutterstock) but its always the same problem "The Files are not EPS10" and can not be opened!
can someone help me!
Thanks

Whenever you are done producing the original CS6 file, just do a simple: Save As > EPS > v10; but save it as a copy, so you always have the original file for edits in the future. You'll get the customary warnings of compatability...just OK those as you do the copy.

Save as eps in binary language

I need to save as eps from Illustrator in Binary, noy in ASCII.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks

A proper EPS printer or application is required to handle both types without problems, so it shouldn't matter how it's encoded. Anyway, your best bet is to use a generic PostScript printer driver. It seems that newer versions of Adobe programs only support their own specific flavor and have ceased support for the legacy EPS format.

Milo: "The settings you choose in Save Adobe PDF dialog...

Something has changed in CS4 for me on my XP based PC.
When I try to save a PSD as a PDF now, I get a box that pops up with the message
"The settings you choose in Save Adobe PDF dialog can override your current settings in the Save As dialog box".
"OK" is the only option.
But beyond the fact that I don't know why this comes up and that I'm taken to another screen with the title "Save Adobe PDF"
where I have to click "Save PDF", one of two things then happens:
1) I click Save PDF and no PDF is created in the folder OR
2) I click Save PDF, the PDF IS created, but my PSD goes away and I'm being show the .pdf file in Photoshop.
Hoping someone recognizes what could be behind all this.
In your response, please remember that I'm not all that much of a tech-y and my system knowledge isn't deep.
Thank you so much!

***You chose File --> Save As... instead of Save Copy. Normal behavior - the PDF becomes your working file,
*** but if you ever saved your original PSD, it will still be there.
I've pasted a number of screen prints at http://www.improventures.com/temp/temp2.htm including one showing
that my version (11.0) of CS4 does not have a Save Copy option. But I've been using Photoshop CS2 and CS4 for years
and I don't think I've ever had to do more than say "Save As..." and choose PDF to make a copy of the current
PSD as a PDF without leaving the PSD. It certainly works that way for .jpg, making a copy without leaving the
original PSD! But I guess it's possible that I've done this infrequently enough that I have that wrong...but it still doesn't
explain why I'm being taken to the "Save Adobe PDF" screen instead of the "Save As..." like I had been.
Or why I'm missing the Save Copy option you mention.
****Your PDF options have a conflict somewhere, so no file is saved. Hard to tell without seeing your settings.
I've pasted a BUNCH of those setting on the webpage above, hoping to help diagnose this because I'm sure stumped. Though I may have found it...I have a feeling one cannot create a PDF from a multi-layered PSD. When I saved a copy and flattened it, that version created the PDF correctly!
*** As for the warnings - normal and "good software design" Simply have them not show again by clicking the checkbox, if they are annoying you...
oh, now, I may not be tech-y, but that much I knew. :-) he he. It's not the fact that it's telling me this that's the problem. It's the fact that either I should only be taken to the Save As screen or that I think I have something "off" in my PDF settings, as you say.
Thanks, Myl!

My Mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes

My mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes, this includes saving in photoshop and uploading photos to Facebook. The dialog boxes do not appear - please help?

Since you're running Lion, just try a new system install - it won't affect your data or apps, but you should, anyway, have a backup regardless.
Boot to your Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting. At the Recovery window, first repair permissions again, then verify and, if necessary, repair your hard drive. Then quite Disk Utility and elect to reinstall the OS anew - it will only overwrite system files and the like, not touching your data, apps, etc. It may take awhile to complete.
After completion, reboot and see if the problem still exists. If it does, I'm just at a loss...

Illustrator eps saving problem - this file is in use

I use Illustrator CS5.1 eps drawings in my Quark 9.3.1.1 files. I've recently been getting a new problem when altering these and saving them while the Q9 document containing the original illustration is open. Illustrator says it can't save as the file is in use by another application. It then makes a temp file. The only way around it seemes to be to save with a different name - deeply boring. Sometimes it just crashes. I'm on Lion 10.7.4.

Try closing quark, then see if you can save your .eps. Still dont work, close down all other apps. You have all the latest updats so trying to determine what has a hold on your file, if not an app then are you on a server?

Spotlight in Save As / Open Dialogs

Hi!
My MacBook (SL 10.6.1) has some serious issues with spotlight. If I try to use it in a Save As / Open dialog in any application, it seems to be working fine, but the applications hangs right after closing the dialog box. I have already tried to delete finder/spotlight .plist files, rebuild spotlight index, check console logs but none helped.
I have found older topics on this issue, but no solutions there.
Any ideas?
THX in advance!
Regards,
b3h0ld3r

You've eliminated a local condition as the problem so now you know it is global, something involving the entire system. I've tested this on both my desktop and notebook with Pages, Photoshop Elements 8, and TextEdit and couldn't reproduce your freeze. (They happened to be the programs I had running at the time.)
I recommend reinstalling the OS as a last resort and this may well be the last resort time. Assuming you have forced Spotlight to reindex your hard drive(s), I can't think of anything else to try.

Preview options in the "save for web" dialog

According to the reference, the previews in the "save for web" dialog are there only for showing how the image can be seen on various platforms with different gamma values.
But, if we open a non-sRGB image (ProPhoto for example) by the "save for web" option, the preview options (other than the "use document profile) in the "save for web" dialog assign sRGB color space to the image even when the "convert to sRGB" option is unchecked ... this causes unrealistic, dull previews for the image.
What is the reason behind that PS assigns sRGB to the image previews if we uncheck "convert to sRGB" option?

Basically, how animation works with GIF and Save for Web in PSE is that each layer in your document is a frame of animation. So you see one layer, then the next, and so on. You should not see the contents of the last frame/layer when looking at the current/next frame of the animation.
Could you post a screen shot of your layers panel and give us a link to the GIF that is coming out of Save for Web?

Image Byte size in "Save for Web"-Dialog is wrong?

The Image Byte size in the finder is always larger than the size stated in Photoshop's "Save for Web"-Dialog box. For example, it shows me 34,36 KB in the SfW-Dialog, while the file information in Finder puts out "38,831 KB". Does anybody know how to fix this annoying behaviour?
kind regards,
tomasio

The size reported in the Finder can be in base 1000 (lying numbers used by disk makers) instead of base 1024 (actual bytes) if you don't change the settings.
The size reported in the Finder can include the resource fork (metadata and thumbnails, some added by the OS), plus some extra space for disk block allocations (if you write 1 byte to a file, it still takes 4k or more of disk space).
The size given in SFW is a close estimate of the actual number of bytes written to the disk, and usually matches the size reported by FTP and the web server (sometimes the estimate is off by a little bit due to the final compression options chosen).
But SFW cannot account for the oddities of the Finder or Windows Explorer's accounting of file size.
