Sequence of files opened by PS

When opening a stack of images from Bridge into Photoshop, PS arranges the files in descending order, highest number in front of cascade, lowest number in rear.  I'd like them to open in ascending order ... in order to edit the pix in chronological order.  Anyone know of a way to get PS to do that ? I've tried Option + Files Open and that didn't do the trick.  Thx

The order in which the images are opened is determined by their sort order in Bridge (first image shown in Bridge will open first in Photoshop). Therefore, to open them so that they're in chronological order you will need to reverse their order in Bridge using the Sort Order button (see screen shot).
When using Stacks in Bridge above procedure becomes slightly more complicated in that you need to define the sort order before the stack is created. Unfortunately, this means that the actual stack will display in reverse order.

  • Window: Arrange: Tile - Breaks open sequence of files

    In CS3 this worked perfectly. CS4 it was broken with no workaround. In CS5 it's partially fixed but still not working. I work on animated sequences and use the Window, Arrange, Tile to display all the files at once. To open files in PS and keep the file sequence in order I use Bridge. Each animation is 36 frames (files). I need to have two or more 36 frame animations open at a time and keep them in sequence. CS5 opens the first 36 in perfect order. Then when I open the next 36 from Bridge the sequence breaks. You can watch the files opening in correct sequence as they open in PS in the default Cascade arrangement, but when you go to Window, Arrange, Tile you can see CS5 is not respecting the order in which the files are were opened. It's randomizing the order based on some unknown sequence. I don't think there's a preference to control this behavior so have I discovered a bug?
    CS3 files opened in perfect sequence
    CS5 files opened in broken sequence
    6/4/10 Adobe tech support update:
    According to tech, PS set a limit on the amount of open files recommended at 50 files. After 50 the sequence gets random. I told the tech this means I am no longer able to do my work in PS CS5. Glad I kept a copy of my trusty CS3 around.

    Wow so far changing this to "Basic" returns it to typical behavior, thanks! What do I lose going to Basic? It doesn't seem slower. I only ran Bridge of course, which must compete for graphic processor memory(?) (NVidia GTS 250/1024 MB).
    Also: When you open a file in PS 5, the tool bars are independent of the file window. When you close the file window using the red button in the upper left hand corner, all of PS 5 disappears, and there is Bridge behind it  showing you your prior open folder of images. Now a big ugly empty PS window blocks that view. How do I get rid of that thing? Before I could also minimize just the file window to the dock, getting it out of the way temporarily so as to view other files and/ or bridge, without actually closing it.
    Thanks again, the tiling really frustrated me.

  • File-Open Sequence

    I want to make a video of jpg images using File->Open Sequence.
    The problem is that Quicktime doesn't take the right files in the right order. Sometimes it "jumpes" some files or it takes files in a wrong order. However, all my image files are named with number chronologically. What is the problem?

  • Sequence cannot be opened in Premiere Pro 5 after installing AE5.5 Trial

    I'm travelling with  my macbook pro and Master Collection CS5
    A couple weeks ago After Effects crapped out on me, saying Quicktime wasn't installed.  Days of delay while I searched forums and the intertubes. A quick workaround suggested by a friend seemed to be to uninstall AECS5 and install the AECS5.5 Trial, as I'm travelling 9000 miles from my installer discs and can't just grab them and reinstall the entire Master Collection LIKE I DID 3 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE ACROBAT FREAKED OUT and wouldn't open because it said it was installed as part of a suite and it couldn't find the suite.
    So the AECS5.5 trial got me going for my after effects work.   It reinstalled the QT32 server or whatever.
    However, now I go back to Premiere to open my project files from before I installed the AE5.5 Trial, and most of my presets are gone, and I get the "Sequence cannot be opened..." message detailed in other places on the forums.  Doing the XML hack doesn't work.  So the AE trial has trashed my formerly working registered Premiere?
    Any ideas?  I'm 9000 miles from my installer discs. I gather that the Premiere Pro trial won't have the presets I need to work.

    Hi,
    Workaround-
    You can download the trial version of Master collection CS 5.5 its free for 30days and it work like the serialized version that is there are no limitations..
    you dont need to uninstall the master collection CS5 for installing CS5.5...
    Are you able to launch Premiere CS5 ? and create new project ?
    How did you unistalled AE CS5 ?
    Did you used Dynamic link in your existing CS5 Project ?

  • File open error: unsupported file type Mpeg Streamclip

    having a problem... I am using mpeg streamclip to convert vob files from a dvd. the problem is that the program says that the first vob file is an unsupported file type. I know that this is not true. The DVD plays, and the remaining vob files are opened and processed by the program correctly. Any advice or suggestions?

    I am having the same problem. The first VOB file in the sequence will not open in either Streamclip or Quicktime. This is not the menu display image, but the first chunk of the video (the menu image actually will open). All the ones after it can be opened either individually or joined as a group.
    The DVD plays fine on the mac and also in the regular DVD player. Any idea if this is perhaps some equipment fault when the DVD burner "finalizes" the disk? Am using a combo VHS/DVD-R unit. It is not super high-end, but then neither are these old home videos I'm converting.

  • EPS files open with unusual line slices

    We have roughly 4500 eps files that were created in freehand years ago. The files contain both raster images that were embedded as well filled vector paths which were created in freehand. The embedded raster image opens flawlessly as wells as some of the filled paths. I say "some of the filled paths" because there are other filled vector paths that were created using the freehand auto-trace function (similar to AI's live trace)- these filled paths open incorrectly. They open with unusual lines that perforate the entire filled object- a strange slicing effect that appears to happen only to the filled paths that underwent freehand's auto-trace function. The other art appears to be fine.
    Is there a method to correct this problem in AI? I'm using A mac os 10.6.8 cs5, When I open the eps in photoshop I don't see any slicing- but photoshop also converts it to a raster image and I would like to preserve the paths. When I open the image again in freehand it opens fine.
    Below are examples showing the sclicing effect.

    Hello Mike
    Yes, I was able to arrive at that solution as well- converting the paths to a raster image then running a live trace on that raster file. I haven't tried uniting the paths though... good suggestion! Thank you!
    The only solution I found so far to keep the eps in a proper vector format was opening the "corrupted" eps in illustrator and selecting all paths and convert that selection into raster art, then convert the raster art back into vector art (live trace). This action can be automated in a batch sequence (4500 files are a bit to much to open individually). The lines will vanish! However the paths will all be one layer with varying color (color differs depending on the artwork), not ideal but it is the best solution that I can think of.
    Do you know any way to release the paths after you preform  the live trace function. It seems (in the case of multiple colors especially) that when a raster image undergoes the live trace option the end result is one object with multiple paths that appear to be grouped together. Is there any way to release these paths? So one could identify them separately by mousing over them?
    Thank you for your help.

  • When Photoshop CC is executed, the first File- Open takes 30 seconds and every File- Open after that is instant. Why is this?

    I have Photoshop CC in my Laptop.  When I first load it/execute photoshop, File -> Open  it takes approx 30 seconds to return a selection.  If I do another File -> Open after this it is instant.
    If I Quit Photoshop and reload it the first File -> Open takes another 30 seconds and then instant.  It is only the first Occurrence.
    I have a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD 4GB RAM.
    If I do  start -> Photoshop -> Previously used file it loads no problem.
    If I try the same things with Photoshop CS5 no problem.
    Why?
    Forgot to add that I am running windows 7 x64 if that makes a difference.
    I have found the problem.  I disconnected the internet from my laptop and it worked instantly.  So Adobe you need to improve your response times on this facet of the login as it is a pain.
    Now I will stop looking for problems with my system....
    Please advise if there is a work around...
    Thanks

    Looking at my dbus messages above, the following section from pacman.log looks very suspicious:
    $ grep disk /var/log/pacman.log
    [2010-03-26 22:57] installed devicekit-disks (009-5)
    [2010-03-26 22:57] installed gnome-disk-utility (2.28.1-1)
    [2010-04-01 07:52] removed devicekit-disks (009-5)
    [2010-04-01 07:52] installed udisks (1.0.0-2)
    [2010-04-01 07:53] upgraded gnome-disk-utility (2.28.1-1 -> 2.30.1-1)
    [2010-04-10 11:07] upgraded udisks (1.0.0-2 -> 1.0.1-1)
    No time currently to check if downgrading these helps. Also looks kinda complicated because udisks replaces devicekit-disks.
    This also looks somehow related: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.de … 0f49cd9b53
    Edit:
    OK, the symptoms can be replicated with the following command sequence:
    sudo /etc/rc.d/dbus restart
    udisks --dump # <-- this takes forever.. 24 seconds on my system
    udisks --dump # <-- any subsequent calls finish instantly, 0.043 seconds on my system

  • Sequence won't open

    Using FCP 6.06 on a Mac Pro with 6 gigs of memory and Snow Leopard. Large project split into two parts. Timeline sequence contains about a dozen edited sequences. Suddenly getting "Can't find" alert. "Out of memory" alert, and the sequence won't open.
    Any way to retrieve this timeline or make it open?
    Dale

    Well...I purged the render files for that project using Render Manager. (That file was 5 gigs in size, I guess.)
    I've heard and read that Render Manager is a bit rugged in performance, and I've not often used it. Seems to have worked this time. That time line was coming up with only a red screen in the Canvas. Now the sequence is back.

  • Photoshop CS4 Crashes on File-Open

    After using Photoshop CS4 for 9 months, I now get an instant crash whenever I open an image with File-Open. I see the image I wanted to open for a few seconds at the back of the error message (1st screenshot, below) and then it disappears - on clicking OK on the first error message, I get a second error message (2nd screenshot, below). I upgraded to version 11.0.1 - no difference. I have completely uninstalled all plug-ins - no difference. I have completely uninstalled and then reinstalled Photoshop to version 11.0 - no difference. I have upgraded a clean install to version 11.0.2 - no difference. I have deleted the prefs file - no difference. I deleted a set of new fonts I had installed after reading a thread on this forum - no difference. Occasionally, I CAN open a file from Windows Explorer with the right-click menu Open With... Adobe Photoshop CS4 then, after doing that, FIle Open does not cause a crash for opening one file, sometimes 2 but then I get the crashes again until the next time I run Photoshop but it seems random as to when it will open a file or not.
    I am now considering uninstalling all Adobe products, manually clearing out the registry and then trying another install but all this is taking time I don't have.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions I could try. I am getting desperate!
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    Memory address issues can be tough to track down. Often, they will occur when a program either mis-reports the memory addresses used, or tells the OS that it has released them, when it has not.
    Though written with video editing in mind, there still might be some tips for setting up your computer, in this ARTICLE. If you have Win7, please look down-thread for Black Viper's tuning page.
    Now, Adobe programs have always been great at reporting their memory usage, but it could still happen - I've just never encountered it over the decades.
    Good luck,

    I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
    I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

    On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
    But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.
