Save over as LZW Tiff Droplet

Hi,
I have created an action in PS which saves a files as a LZW Tiff and then created a droplet. I want to save and close the file in the same location that it is in (i.e. replace a it) but it keeps on saving it in the folder that I first saved as in the action - for example In:Macintosh HD:Users:Kerry:Desktop
Does anyone know how I can change this so it just saves over the original tiff in whatever location it is in? The droplet has suppress file open and colour options ticked and save and close as the destination...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
Kerry

You might try checking: Override Action "Save As" Commands in the create droplet dialog.

Is there a way to save over previous files without renaming when packaging InDesign files?

I am finding the file management a nightmare with having to package my work from Creative Cloud at home in order to work in Creative Suite at school. I usually have to do this back and forth multiple times for the same project creating multiple files and folders - it is too confusing!
I would like less clutter by having the option to save over my packages without having to rename resulting in yet another packaged folder for the same project to my storage devices. Is there a way to do this? I searched and am not finding answers to this particular issue.
Normally I would not package before the project is complete but I need the IDML files in order to continue my work when at school. Any answers or tips around how to manage this would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you Bob! I understood all of that. My frustration was that I have to give it a new name every single time I package thus creating yet another version of the same file on my system. I don't like cluttering my system with multiple versions of the same project. I work with duplicating layers inside the same document so I can always revert back to something done earlier without having to dig around and open an old file. I think this lack of saving over a file option is a flaw in the way the software is designed. One should always have the option to re-save over an old file with the same name. Just my opinion!

How to Save OVER original instead of creating another file

Hi, I set up iphoto to edit in photoshop. When I use photoshop I save it as is, without renaming or finding a new folder to put it in. At first, I assumed I would be effectively saving OVER the original, but when I clicked through "Show File" in iphoto it showed me a file in a modified folder.
Since then I have had to save my photoshopped photos in a completely different folder, imported them into iphoto, and deleted the originals. This is a pain. I would really love to find a way (or have someone create a way) to opt to save OVER the original. Sometimes, yes, it is nice to keep the original. But I am wise enough to decide for myself when the original is garbage and it's killing me to try to work around this. I'm not running out of space on my computer yet (it's only 9 months old) but I'd like to make sure I am not wasting any space.
Thanks for your help!

Media Expression will do what you want and it will allow you to manage your folders yourself, add keywords, create albums (called Supplemental Categories) and a lot more.
Unfortunately (or not) iPhoto follows the tenets of good DAM (digital asset management) and preserves the original file as the digital negative. EM can do the same thing or let the user overwrite it if desired. All good DAM applications protect the original in one way or another. If an edit were to go wrong somehow and was accidentally saved there would be no going back.
Another option would be to use an image browser to manage the photos and use iPhoto only for special projects like books, calendars, cards, etc. That's what I do. I use EM to manage my photos and iPhoto for the special stuff.

How to save raw images as TIFF files on Adobe Bridge?

I am trying to upload my raw images from my camera onto Adobe Bridge and save them as a TIFF file. But it does not give me that option and simply automatically saves them as JPEGs.
Where is the option to keep them as raw, large TIFF files?

This is the Adobe Reader forum. Your question is concerning about what software?

You can't. If the file is made read-only via the file system, the user will prompted to save as a new file if they attempt to save.

Does photoshop cs6 not save over files that are also open in cs5?

I started a project in CS5, saved it, left it open, then opened the same file in CS6. Then I started steadily working on the file in CS6 for about 20 minutes. I saved frequently while working in CS6. Then Photoshop crashed, I believe because I had several smart objects open at once. However, when I checked the file I had been saving, it was still in an identical state to when I stopped working on it in CS5. Not only that, but the "recovered file" was about 10 minutes behind in CS6.
This is really frustrating.

I don't know what went wrong for you but you are correct that it's normally possible for CS6 to save over a file that's open in CS5, and vice versa, and the same thing is possible with many other apps.
Furthermore, some apps watch for changes being made to a file which they have open and will automatically update the version of the file which they hold in memory with the modified version that another app has written to disc.
Of course, there are apps, databases for example, which do lock files which they have open.
None of that helps you, but just letting you know that you weren't wrong to expect your work to be saved.

Not able to edit assets in Illustrator/Photoshop and save over existing assets in Edge animation

Not able to edit assets in Illustrator/Photoshop and save over existing assets in Edge animation to update image changes. Has Adobe changed this capability with new releases? Does this mean to update an asset on the Edge animation timeline, you have to copy and paste all the animations of that old asset over to the new imported asset?

Hi, CamShazam-
You should be able to save over existing assets in the images/ folder, then close and reopen the file. The other option is to save your assets and then use the swap image option in the properties panel. Is this what you're talking about? Thanks,
-Elaine

Opening CS3 docs in CS4 are not allowing me to save over?

Hello,
When docs created in INCS3 are opened in CS4, by one of my students at their location, and they go to save them, it treats it like a save as option, asking for the path, rather than allowing them to save over them. Is this normal?
thanks!
babs

Yes.
The first time an older version document is opened in a newer version it is treated as a new document. Among other things, this is a safety feature to help prevent accidental overwriting and rendering a legacy file useless in the old version.

Indesign cc book asks to save over old file

I have an Indesign CC book file that was originally created in CS6 but has been converted. Everytime I close it, I'm asked if I would like to save over the old file. Why is it doing this?

Asking to save a Book when you close the panel is pretty normal, in my experience, but you may be **** things you aren't aware of.
Opeing a book file in a new version does not create new copies of the component files and point to those (nor does making a copy of the .indb and component files). The book itself is just a clooection of pointers to the files it contains, and those are absolute paths, so if you open a file from a copy of a book you are opening the original file, not a new copy.
The safe way to move a book to a new version of ID is to make copies of the inidvidual files, convert those, then create a brand new book file and add the files to it.

I don't have a "save as" option only a "save a version". This only saves over the current document without letting me rename it. I recently upgraded to the lion OS

Unable to save a tiff file (save over)

I have rendered some images with a 3d program and saved as tiffs.
I will open the images in Photoshop and select SAVE. A message states "unable to save, the file is already open or in use". As a result, I will have to save a copy and rename it. What is weird is that I am unable to throw away the original TIFF. When I empty the trash a dialog will say "items are in use and can not be thrown away." Any ideas?

if you can't trash them after restarting the computer and they are not locked use cocktail to trash them.

Acrobat 8 Pro won't let me save over files

This is just really bugging me - I work in Indesign CS5 and save file as a pdf. I open pdf too check ok and email to client. Then when I amend my Indesign file and resave over that pdf I get this message everytime:
Cannot save to the file "XXX" You may not have permission or the file may be in use.
And consequently, I have to go into the folder and delete it before I can save. It's not in use, it's definitely closed!
Does anyone else have this problem?

Same here Suzie - on my Mac all I'm doing is creating a simple PDF from ID. When I alter it and export as PDF, saving to the desktop to overwrite the previous version it goes through the motions - then up comes this message.
If Bill is assuming correctly that you're on Windows then its a Mac OSX problem too.
Acrobat is dormant here - only ID open.

Some CS4 Raw adjustments lost after save to jpg or tiff

I've been running Photoshop CS4 under Windows XP 64 bit (with 8Gb RAM) with no problems whatsoever (including use of GPU feature) since November 2008.
Very recently, with a difficult event photosession I have a bunch of photos that have are overexposed/blown out highlights which were easily fixed with RAW adjustments in Bridge CS4 with the generous use of the RECOVERY slider as well as EXPOSURE.
After converting to JPEG (quality 12) or Tiff (as a test) the initially overexposed photos which were fixed and look fine in both Bridge and in Photshop show up overexposed -as if the RAW adjustments have never been made. In other words the jpg or tiff version appears with blown highlights right next to the corrected RAW version (Canon CR2 files). I need to emphasize that when the adjusted RAW is opened in Photoshop it looks fine -with all of the adjustments perfect. But once it is saved in Photoshop, the saved file does not look the same, it now has blown out highlights.
In other words something in the workflow whether Photoshop or RAW is simply not working the way it should and the way it used to work.
I have downloaded and installed the latest RAW 5.5. It has not helped at all. I can't pinpoint the time when this problem first showed up because I normally hardly ever have images with blown highlights. This last event shoot was very poorly lit and it took a bit of time to figure out how to correct the exposure setting on the spot.
Have any of you experienced this problem? I can't get Adobe Tech support telephone support without paying for the privilege, in spite of the fact that I suspect that this is a program bug.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated and welcome.
Thanks,
Dan

Some additional findings:
When I looked at the JPEGs which had blown highlights in Bridge, with ACDsee, they looked fine! So I also tested with Windows Fax Viewer and they're fine again. Conclusion -Bridge is showing unedited exposure.
Then in response to posting this same problem on Dpreview I got the solution from Walter Wollert:
wwollert wrote:
" Do you have tif and jpg edit options enabled in RAW(ACR)? There was something I ran into that caused the problem like you have. I turned these options off and it cleared up. Why? Ur guess is as good as mine.
Again, I could be in error, since it happened a while ago and I sometimes have rolling blackouts.
Walter
Hey Walter,
Your suggestion solved my problem. Who would have expected that disabling JPEG editing in RAW would solve this problem? I have been told to make sure this feature was enabled and in fact I always had this enabled because on occassion I find it very useful to use RAW tools to fix problems in some old JPGs.
I've been terribly annoyed and depressed about this problem and it just about completely stopped my editing for over 2 weeks, so you can be sure I am extremely thankful for your HEADS ON solution.
Someone at Adobe should have their head dunked in toilet bowl perhaps?
I don't ever remember seeing this problem in the past, even though I had the JPEG & TIFF editing enabled, and therefore I thought this "bug" crept in with one of the program updates.
Thanks a MILLION!!!,
Dan"
So that's the answer to the problem!

Lightroom 3: Edit in Photoshop CS5 no longer saves a copy as TIFF for editing

Hi,
I have Lightroom 3 (LR3) and Photoshop CS5 (non Extended) and Snow Leopard on OSX. Both LR3 and CS5 are filly updated. CS5 updated with Camera Raw 6.1.
On one day, when I tell LR3 to "Edit in Photoshop" it would save a copy of the NEF with current LR3 settings as a TIFF and I can edit it in Photoshop as a TIFF. I would see a progress indicator in LR3 that show it saving a copy as a TIFF.
The next day, this stopped working. It goes directly to Photoshop and opens the NEF itself. It's is completely ignoring the LR3 settings in External Handling tab.
Strangely, when I "save" this NEF in Photoshop, a TIFF is created back in LR3. That threw me off completely from LR2.7
Has anybody encountered this? Does LR3 skip telling you if you want to save as TIFF now if you have the latest LR and CS?
Thank you.

What you describe as abnormal is how things are supposed to work:
If the RAW engines match (where LR3 and ACR 6.1 do), then LR just tells PS what the "conversion recipe" is and PS tells ACR to silently open it with that "recipe" so it doesn't have to be rendered to TIF or PSD on the way into PS.
If the RAW engine of PS (ACR's version) is too odl to understand all the LR adjustments then LR knows this and will render to an intermediate file on the way into PS. This also happens if you use some other third-party photo-editor that can't use ACR to open the file.
On Windows, at least, there is a way to make LR render to TIF/PSD on the way into Photoshop, I fyou create a duplicate copy of the EXE and rename it to PhotoshopX.exe or some other name that LR doesn't recognize as Photoshop, then LR thinks it is a third-party editor and renders an intermediate file.
What might have happened is that you updated to ACR 6.1 or maybe PS 12.0.1 which caused LR to re-evaluate the Photoshop compatibility and it determined it was fully compatible and didn't render to an intermediate file on the way in.
Since Photoshop is a bitmap editor, it has to save as something other than the RAW file on the way out, and LR will see that Save occur and import it automatically.
Does that all make sense?
