Saving multiple times in Photoshop

So they say if you save a JPG image lots of time, the image starts to lose information...
If I open up a JPG image in Photoshop, make some edits, then use the 'save as' command (using a lower quality setting), overwriting the current file open, will saving it again further compress the image that is currently open? Or does photoshop store the original file (when it was first opened) information until closed?

Unfortunately, I think station_two may have misread your question slightly.
You could save an open document over and again 100 times, and as long as the document remains open the last save will have exactly one level of JPEG compression applied to it. The document does not accumulate compression loss by the Save operation as long as it is kept open.
What may confuse the issue is that Photoshop will show you a preview of how the JPEG compression looks just DURING the save if you check the [ ] Preview box in the JPEG Options dialog.
Only if the document is closed, then the saved JPEG reopened and saved again will you accumulate loss from compression.

New Message Saved Multiple Times In Drafts Folder

I know that while I'm composing an email the program automatically saves a copy of that message to the drafts folder. This copy is updated while I'm composing the message. But recently, as I'm composing a message, the same composition is saved multiple times in the Drafts folder. So, if it took me 10 or 15 minutes to compose an email I'll have at least 4 or 5 separate copies of the email in different stages saved to my Drafts folder. When I send the email it will save a copy in my Sent folder, but won't remove the same email from my Drafts folder.
Has anyone else had a problem like that? Have suggestons on what's going on and how to fix it?
Thanks...

What type of account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If IMAP or .Mac, what are your settings in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors for Drafts and Sent?

Last year I updated my system to OSX 10.9.1. Ever since whenever I type an email message it is saved multiple times (sometimes dozens, if the message is long) in multiple places (Saved, Trash, etc.) Any cure?

You have Sophos installed, which is certainly capable of causing panics. However, the panic logged above happened in safe mode, and wasn't caused by any third-party software. That type of panic is usually caused by a memory fault.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for the model.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.

Photoshop is opening multiple times...WHY??? (please help).

When I double click on an image (from Bridge for example) to open in Photoshop it will open up CS6 and then sometimes when I open another image, instead of opening up in the same open Photoshop program, it will open up an additional Photoshop program. Both CS6, Version 13.0.6 x64. Super frustrating when sitting with a client and trying to add an image to a document and it opens up in a different program... Is there a way to see where Photoshop is opening from? Why would CS6 be opening multiple times???
I don't think I noticed this happening before I upgraded to Mavericks (yes, this has been happening for a while). I also have a back-up program called SuperDuper that mirrors my system on a separate hard drive. Could Photoshop be opening from there, too?
Thanks for any possible help!

How can I open multiple files as Photoshop Raw files at the same time for Photoshop CS6 extended on a PC?

I am trying to open 20-25 files at the same time as Photoshop Raw [*.RAW] files.
The only way I can open multiple files is if i leave the file type as All Formats. When I change it to Photoshop Raw [*.RAW], the files a deselected.

Use bridge. Select all the files then press ctrl-r or cmd-r to load the selected files into camera raw.
If you try this in Photoshop use File>Open As then for file type choose camera raw. (I have not tested open as for opening multiple files)

Ok, since this forum is for Photoshop Standard and Photoshop Extended, we don't know much about Photoshop Elements. There is a Photoshop Elements forum and I'll link it for you since they best know how to field your questions.

Photoshop CC 2014 Extension - CEP Event callback is triggered multiple times per single event

Trying to make my extensions listen for bunch of events and it's turning out to be a real pain in the ***.
I'm hoping there's someone here who has a bit more experience playing around with these.
I used the example code from here ( Page 43 ): http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/CC14_Extension_S DK.pdf
I've modified the code just a little. I removed some unnecessary things from it. I also added a counter, to try to visualize the issue.
Every time I pasted the code here, the global variable seemed to duplicate. So, eeeeh... the example code can be found here.
The problem is:
I close one document to trigger the event, but for some reason the callback seems to run multiple times.
Even better, it doesn't seem to be super consistent about it. Sometimes it repeats only couple of times and sometimes it repeats 160 times.
It seems like every time the extension panel is reopened, it comes up with a new number.
Currently, if I close a document, it seems to trigger the callback 15 times
Since this is screenshot, you'll have to take my word for it. I only closed a single document and the code ran 15 times.
Am I doing something wrong by any chance?
edit:
I believe I just found out the reason and a way to recreate the issue.
I've occasionally tested the extension by closing and opening the panel, which seems to have caused the issue.
It looks like every time I close and then open the panel, it... adds one more run time to the stack.
- Refreshing the panel from chrome doesn't seem to affect it.
When I restart photoshop, it resets. So after the very first opening of the panel, the event triggers the callback only once.
I forgot to mention that the host application events work just fine without these issues.
In fact, I tried to use documentAfterActivate before, but as far as I could find, there is no way to kind of filter out specific events within host application events.
For instance, I can't specify something different to happen when a new document is opened.
As very much a side note:
documentAfterActivate has its own side effect due to the way photoshop works.
It is triggered when you:
Create a new document
Open a new document
Switch to an open document
It's the "Switch to an open document" part that makes this event listener also trigger when you close a document.
Because when you close a document, photoshop switches back to the previous document and that in turn triggers the event listener when it shouldn't, I suppose.
Of course it doesn't trigger the event when you close the last document as there is no document to switch to at that point.
...but this is beyond the scope of the original question.

I was so tired last night that when I found out the cause of it, I never even thought about unregistering...
I decided to unregister it when the panel is opened instead.
This does indeed get rid of the issue.
Thanks, cbuliarca.

Photoshop CS4 plugins exists multiple times

Hello Everybody
I'm running a iMac 27 inch (End 2009) with the newest operating system (OSX 10.10.3) and the adobe creative suite 4 (Version 1102).
Since a few days, my photoshop (and only PS, all others like ID, BR and AI work fine) takes about 10 minutes to load. It always hangs at the "scanning for plugins" point on the splash screen.
I have now spent around 6 hrs to get rid of this issue but nothing helped. I searched through hundreds of discussions and youtube for solutions. I found out that the plugins should be in the /application/Adobe PS version XX/Plugins folder, where they are located. I tried to reinstall the whole suite several times, with and without the cleanout script from adobe. I tried applications like appcleaner, I tried to find the files on my own through the whole mac os (also searching with the parameter to show all hidden folders) etc. (By the way: I'm working as an IT guy, so I know a little what I'm doing). But I could not manage to get rid of those crazy plugins (I only use the standard plugins which come with the installation of PS).
So I see that it takes about 10 minutes to go through that scanning plugins point on the splash screen. Also when I choose to save a file and I click on the dropdown for the file type, I have now every possibility listed multiple times. Same in the main menu "photoshop -> about plugins".
Does anybody have any idea what I could do to fix this? I'm kinda stuck.
Below you'll find the screenshots of the error messages and so on (of course, I'm using it in German).
Every hint is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How to automate saving the same image multiple times?

Hello. I wish to save the same image multiple times in a folder... is there a way to automate this function? I also need the flexibility of determining the starting number in this image sequence. Thanks.

Good day!
I would recommend asking for help over at

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

Signing a document multiple times without saving it?

Hello all,
Can someone please tell me how do we sign a document multiple times without having to save the document after each signature?
For instance, I am a realtor and have to sign the contract about 3-4 times. However, when I sign it, Acrobat 8 prompts me to sign after each signature.
When I was using Acrobat 7, I could sign as much as I want and then save it. This is much more efficient and practical.
Can anyone advise me?
Thanks in advance.
Geo

Hi Geo,
It may be more cumbersome in version 8 (and 9), but it's safer. In version 7 and earlier when you signed, Acrobat did everything in memory. You weren't prompted to save the file to disk until you wanted to close the file. The problem is computer memory is where the bad guys get into to make changes. The majority of computer vulnerabilities occur when the hacker escapes the allotted memory space (aka buffer overflows) and reads and writes to memory address that they shouldn't be in. Think of memory being divided up like a row of houses along a block. The bad guy gets out of his house and into yours, and that's where bad things happen.
Beginning with version 8, signature operation all take place on disk, not in memory. It's slower, and as you pointed out it's more cumbersome, but it's safer. The file is committed to disk (the hard drive) before the signature is created and the signed bytes cannot be manipulated in the middle of the signing procedure.
Interestingly (at least to me), when we had this discussion four or five years ago when the change was made, the example used was of mortgage contact being signed where any of the terms could be changed in memory prior to the signature being completed. It was just a bunch of geeky engineers sitting around a table discussing possible vulnerabilities with the current signing operation (i.e. signing in memory). To see the theoretical example in actual use is kind of exciting (granted I don't get out much ).

I am trying to print a snapshot taken from a PDF multiple times on one page.

Reader Will not print multiple copies of a snapshot on one page. I read the help files for Acrobat itself and all it said was take the snapshot and print it. Does anyone know if Acrobat can print multiple copies of the snapshot on one page?
From some reading in another forum page it looks like Acrobat can do it by saving the snapshot repeatedly with different names and the printing all of them at once. I really hate that workaround as I need to do this often.
Message was edited by: duckles10

I tried to do it using Reader. I have a one page PDF document with a UPS shipping label on one side and a special box label with a barcode on the other. This is designed to print on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. There are many times when I need to be able to print the box labels more than once. At home, I do it by taking a snapshot of the box label and printing it to a Label printer as many times as I need it. The distributor who also ships items for me only has a full page printer but he can print 4 on a page labels on UPS provided stock. Reader won’t print a snapshot multiple times, the option is grayed out. What I wanted to know is if Acrobat itself can print that snapshot multiple times. I don’t think it can without being able to cut and save that PDF multiple times as separate files. That would be a slow and cumbersome operation. If it would take a snapshot or a single cut and save and print that PDF 4 times on a page it would be a reason to spend the money to buy the program because we need to perform this operation OVER and OVER on a regular basis. On some shipments we might need to print 12 or more extra box labels. We tape smaller boxes together for one UPS label and need to make sure EACH box gets a separate label. Otherwise they sometimes get lost on the other end.
Doing the save 4 separate PDFs process we might actually need TWO copies of Acrobat unless reader can print 4 on a page if it has 4 PDF’s to work from. I have not yet found a good way to save those snapshots from reader. I have tried since I found that it was possible to cut and save them in other formats but not PDF’s as reader can’t save them. The quality of the saved items in other formats is not acceptable. I recently discovered that Microsoft publisher which I have can save a document as a PDF. I’m going to see if I can import to that program next.

Use a sequence template multiple times in same project

I have created a lower-third animated title and saved it as a sequence as it has sound. What I'm confused about it how I import that sequence and use it multiple times in the same project and change the content of the title for each sequence. If I import the sequence and change the title in one instance, it changes the title of all instances. I would like to use the sequence and be able to change each title. I have even tried copying sequences and renaming them but any editing still seems to affect the parent sequence file.
I know this must be really simple but I'm going round in circles here. Any pointers appreciated.

Take a look at this thread:
style sheets for titles?
I'm not sure if an AFX Live text will bring over the audio, it is not something I have tried.
