Saving file formats.

When I try to save a photo to JPEG, i get iff.  When i try to save it as a TIFF file, i get PDF. where did i go wrong, and how can I get my PS CS6 (mac) back?
thanks,

  • Saving file format - suddenly having problems

    Hi all,
    I have been using PSE9 on my Intel iMac (OS 10.5.8) for a couple of weeks, and yesterday I started experiencing the following problems:
    (In Full Edit Mode)
    1) When trying the "Save As" command after working on an image, I was getting a message saying that my user account was not authorized to make changes, yet there is only one account on this computer.
    2) Shift-Command-S brings up the Save As window, but no matter what format I choose, it stays .jpg! I tried on a couple of different pictures, same results.
    Initially, I was able to save in PSD format when I moved the new file to a different location, i.e. instead of saving the new file in the original folder, I copied to desktop, but that's not working now.
    I opened PSE Preferences for Saving Files, and checked off append files with extensions "always" and "OK", but when I go back to the same Preference Panel, it has reverted to Never, which is the default position. I am wondering if this is the source of my problems.
    I have tried:
    placing the Preference files for PSD and Organizer in the trash and re-launching PSE9.
    Trashing Preference files, then restarting the computer and re-launching PSE9.
    Uninstalled PSE 6.
    Uninstalled PSE 9 and performed a reinstall off the CD. I was able to Save As a PSD file for a day, now back to the same situation, also still getting an error message if I try to save a JPG file in the folder of origin for that image.
    What should I do next?

    Yes. It is a known bug. Your options are to trash the prefs again and never, never, never open the Saving Files preferences pane again (just going there causes this), or to add the file extension in manually when saving. (The default position is Always, but merely opening the saving files preference sets it to Never.)

    If you are working with a file you modified in Lightroom, you should go to the Lightroom Photo menu and choose Edit in... and the version of Photoshop you want to open it in.
    There a dialog will ask if you want to transfer the LR settings you made to your photo when you open in Photoshop.

    How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

  • What is the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?

    As I have read, MS Office 2013 is able to read and write the ISO/IEC 29500 strict (standardized Office Open XML) file format. MS Office 2010 was only able to read the strict format and MS Office 2007 could neither read nor write the strict format. The
    .docx, .xlsx and .pptx saved by Office 2007 and 2010 were only complying to the OOXML transitional, as far as I understood.
    My main question is what the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013 actually is? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?
    In case, MS Office still saves in the transitional standard by default, is it possible to set the strict standard in the settings? Is this recommended (I assume that OOXML strict is the future) to do this?
    Thanks.

    Yes, the Transitional is still the default file format for saving in Office 2013, and we can modify this setting in Word Options, Save:
    As Alex Brown covers in his
    blog post, "Transitional is intended to preserve the fidelity of existing binary documents being migrated to ISO/IEC 29500, and includes many legacy features for compatibility with existing documents. Strict is a subset of Transitional that does not
    include legacy features – this makes it theoretically easier for a new implementer to support (since it has a smaller technical footprint, so to speak), but also makes it less able to preserve the fidelity of existing documents."

  • After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files.  I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email.  Any help would be appreciated.

    After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files.  I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email.  Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • How do I change the default file format for saving files in Preview

    I often take screen clips and save them as files to my desktop, then upload them to my website or include them in emails. The default file format for Preview seems to be TIFF, but I'd prefer jpg. How do I convince Preview to use jpg as the default file format?
    TIA,
    Thad

    I should have been a little clearer...
    If I'm emailing a screen-clip, I can just paste it right into the email, but I post on a lot of discussion boards and it's often nice to be able to include a screen shot in those. My preferred way to do that is to post the clip at my personal website and then put a link in the post. It gives me the ability to delete the image whenever I want (a plus for any security freak) and it works on every discussion board I know. Some boards allow attachments, some don't. Plus I don't want to have to remember different d/b file attachment procedures. Anyway, when I make a screen-clip, I need to temporarily save it (usually to my desktop), then ftp it to my website. I use Preview to do that. It's simple. But I'd like it to default to .jpg instead of .png or .tiff. (FWIW, I just tried it and the default was .png, but I swear I did something similar earlier that defaulted to .tiff when I first tried to save the newly-created file).

  • File Format saving Issues

    I just recently updated to the Creative Cloud and now when I'm trying to save my file in Photoshop to any file format other then PSD, it will randomly choose a file format that I didn't choose. For example, if I choose to save the file as a jpg, the file extension after the name at the top will say iff. No matter what I choose, nothing matches the file extension being shown at the top. So, I have to go through each file format to see which one will show the jpg extension. ANyone having this issue?

    this workbook contains features that will not work or may be removed if you save it in the selected dil format. do you want to continue? 
    to save the workbook in this dil format, which may dibble or remove some features, click continue.  To preserve the workbook, click cancel, and then save the workbook in a different fuel file format.
    I'm having this message come up when i try to save a number with (a) precluding zero(s).  The way I get the precluding zero in the first place is to select the cell then go to format-cells-custom- then type in four zeros and then it changes it until
    i try to save it then i get the message error saying that it won't save in my CSV format. i need to to be in a CSV format.

  • How to export table contents in xml file format through SQL queries

    hi,
    i need to export the table data in to xml file format. i got it through the GUI what they given.
    i'm using Oracle 10g XE.
    but i need to send the table name from Java programs. so, how to call the export commands from programming languages through. is there any sql commands to export the table contents in xml format.
    and one more problem is i created each transaction in two tables. for example if we have a transaction 'sales' , that will be saved in db as
    sales1 table and sales2 table. here i maintained and ID field in sales1 as PK. and id as FK in sales2.
    i get the combined data with this query,
    select * from sales1 s1, sales2 s2 where s1.id=s2.id order by s1.id;
    it given all the records, but i'm getting two ID fields (one from each table). how to avoid this. here i dont know how many fields will be there in each table. that will be known at runtime only.
    the static information is sales1 have one ID field with PK and sales2 will have one ID filed with FK.
    i need ur valuable suggestions.
    regards
    pavan.

    You can use DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML('your Query') for generating data in tables to XML format and you can use DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWSETTAG to change the parent element name other wise it will give rowset as well as DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWTAG for row name.
    Check this otherwise XMLELEMENT and XMLFOREST function are also there to convert data in XML format.

  • Saving files to a specific folder

    I used to be a PC, now I am a Mac, learning fast, but I have a problem in saving files from the web. I am using OS 10.4.7
    I am using Firefox and Thunderbird.
    When I try to save email or a picture from a web site I am presented with a Menu; Save as, Where and Format. The 'Where' is the problem.
    When I click 'WHERE', I am presented with a list;
    Network
    Mac HD 80
    Mac HD 60
    Desktop
    MCMP (HOME, where all my different folders are)
    Applications
    Movies
    Music
    Picures
    When I click on MCMP, my home with all my sub folders, there is no way to save the file any place but just in MCMP. I have no options which folder in MCMP or sub folder of a main topic folder. Saving to MCMP just puts the file in with all my different folders.
    How do I direct exactly which folder the item is to be saved into.
    Thank You

    Spring loaded folders: Drag a file to a flder, hold it over it and the folder will open. You can use this to drop files into sub folders and so on. The timing on how long you have to hold is controlled in the Finder preferences -> General Pane.
    Another possibilty for your original question is to use Default Folder X, a shareware, that makes navigating open and close dialogues very easy.

  • Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

    I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
    it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
    The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

    This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
    My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
    To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
    I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
    PDF XChange (my favorite)
    Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
    Adobe (the bloated monster)
    Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
    ABBYY
    And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
    Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
    I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
    Here is what I've learned for my situation
    The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
    all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
    When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
    what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
    If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
    A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
    In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
     The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
    I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

  • I would like to know how i can save an byte array to a mat file format (matlab file format '*.mat') within to use the matlab API

    So, I search the binary matlab file format('*.mat').

    Title:
    Moving Data Between MATLAB® and LabVIEW
    Problem: 
    How can I share data between LabVIEW and the MATLAB environment?
    Solution: 
    MATLAB users can move data between the
    MATLAB environment and LabVIEW, you have several options. Prior to
    LabVIEW 5.1, the only way to transfer data between these two
    environments was to use the Save and Load functions. Those are discussed herein.
    Beginning
    in LabVIEW 8.0, MathScipt was introduced. MathScript is an integrated
    part of LabVIEW that you can use to combine intuitive graphical
    dataflow programming with math-oriented textual programming. See the
    attached links below for more information on MathScript.
    Beginning
    in LabVIEW 5.1, the MATLAB script node was introduced into the LabVIEW
    programming environment. The MATLAB script node makes ActiveX calls to
    the MATLAB software from within LabVIEW. This requires that both MATLAB
    be installed on the same machine and that a valid license is obtained.
    More information on the MATLAB script node can be found in the attached
    KB's.
    For all versions of LabVIEW, this data transfer can be
    performed by saving the data in a file using the MATLAB software and
    reading it directly from LabVIEW, or vice versa. In the MATLAB
    environment, the command "save" allows you to save the data in
    binary format (*.mat) or ASCII format. You also have an option of
    saving it in ASCII format using a tab delimiter between data points and
    the command "load" allows you to read in the data.
    ASCII Format
    Complete the following steps to import or export data between LabVIEW and the MATLAB environment using an ASCII file format.
    From the MATLAB environment to LabVIEW
    To save a vector or a matrix X in tab-delimited ASCII format, enter the following in the command window or m-script file in the MATLAB environment:
    >>SAVE filename X -ascii -double -tabs
    This creates a file named filename containing data X in tab-delimited ASCII format.
    Import the file into LabVIEW using the Read From Spreadsheet File VI located on the Functions»File I/O palette.
    From LabVIEW to the MATLAB environment
    To export a matrix X from LabVIEW to the MATLAB environment, first save the data in ASCII format in LabVIEW using the Write To Spreadsheet File VI on the Functions » File I/O palette.
    Enter the following in the command window of the MATLAB environment, or in the m-script file:
    >> LOAD filename
    This reads the data into the MATLAB environment.
    Binary Format
    Complete the following steps to import or export data between LabVIEW and the MATLAB environment.
    From the MATLAB environment to LabVIEW
    As mentioned above, LabVIEW does not save multiple variables to one
    data with extra manipulation, and will not be discussed here.
    Therefore, the only way of sending the data from the MATLAB environment
    to LabVIEW without tampering with the MAT binary file structure is
    using the ASCII format. Also, please bear in mind that you need to have
    one file for one variable.
    From LabVIEW to the MATLAB environment
    Because
    the MATLAB software saves data in its own binary format, the "MAT"
    file, binary LabVIEW data must be converted to this format prior to
    transferring the data. The attached examples can be used to save
    LabVIEW data in the MATLAB software format. The convenience of the .MAT
    file format is that more than one variable can be saved in the same
    file. The example shows saving seven variables to .MAT format; the
    example can be modified for any number of variables.
    Once this data is saved from LabVIEW, it can be read into the MATLAB environment, using the following command:
    >>LOAD filename
    The Who
    command can then be used to display all the seven variable names, and
    you can display the content of them by entering the variable names at
    the command prompt as usual.

    Hi Ian Mcgrady,
    Welcome to Numbers Discussions.
    Is this file you're attempting to open a true MS Excel .XLS file? Or is it a Google web app? What message are you getting, what happens, are you attempting to open it over the web or off your desktop? The more information you can provide us the better someone will be able to assist you.
