Smart Object Display Issue CS5 - Anyone else?

I created a new PS document (CS5 Mac latest version) I have a few layers I grouped and made a smart object for ease of updating and reuse. Problem is my smart object just randomly disappear or even sppear to be "erased" by other layters if i move them around. They are still there and through some random acts I can them to reappear.
I am not even sure if I can explain it right as it is just odd...
Anyone else having dusplay issues with Smrt Objects in CS5?
I am running on a new iMac in 64bit mode.
Thanks!

Try turning Open GL off and relaunching the document. This is most likely something to do with your Graphics card not being able to keep up with Photoshops stringent requirements.

  • Smart Object Transformation in CS5

    Has anyone noticed that when you scale down a smart object in Photoshop CS5, the transformation tool resets the dimensions to 100%? In CS4, you are able to see the transformation properties once you scale down (by option-Shift clicking on the bounding box). It would be helpful to retain the scaled dimensions of the transformed smart object in case you need to import other smart objects to rescale.

    Thanks. Here's a link to the video of me transforming in CS5:
    http://www.notchill.com/tmp/CS5_SmartObject_Transform.mov
    Please note: The smart object I imported was already scaled down from the original size, but the transform controls show it as 100%.
    In contrast, here is a screen cap of me doing the exact same process in CS4:
    http://www.notchill.com/tmp/CS4_SmartObject_Transform.mov
    As you can see, once I get into transform mode, it shows that the smart object has been scaled from its original. This data is very valuable.
    Hope this helps to clarify. Please note this applies to rotation as well.

  • Smart objects from PS CS5 being edited in AI CS4

    I have both the CS4 and CS5 creative suits loaded on my machine.
    Just recently when I edit smart objects in Photoshop CS5 it launches Illustrator CS4 to edit the objects. I am also seeing this in InDesign where it will choose AI CS4 when I select edit original.
    Is there a way to change the default to use CS5 products?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Try changing the file association of the .AI file format from CS4 to CS5 through Windows, usually done by right clicking on a .AI file and choosing Open With->Chose default program

  • Opening DNG as a Smart Object into Photoshop CS5?

    I am using a Windows 7 64 bit platform and CS5 64 bit.  I have the most recent Camera Raw plug in for my Nikon D3100 camera.  In Bridge you are supposed to be able to open a dng file in Camera Raw, make your corrections and then by holding the Shift key it should change the open file button to open it as a Smart Object.  When I do that nothing opens in in Photoshop.
    Any suggestions?

    Can you tell me how to access the workflow settings?
    Pretty simple (and the settings are sticky), open a raw image and in the center where the processing info is shown (lower center link) which acts both as an info readout AND a button to change the Workflow Options settings, click on this link...it'll give you a dlog to change the Workflow Settings.
    Alter the settings and click Done (cancel doesn't work since it works as a Cancel).
    Thereafter, unless you make changes, the Workflow Options should be sticky.
    Thank you Jeff for the information.
    Please let me know if you think the worflow settings are wrong:  Here is how the workflow is currently set:  Space: Adobe RGB 1998; Depth: 16bits/channel;  Size 34072 x 4608 (14.2 MP); Resolution: 260 p/in.; Sharpen: None;  Amount: none;  The bix is checked to open in Photoshop as a Smart Object.
    Now here is the thing.  If I am in Bridge and double click on a dng file or right click on a selection of files and choose Open in Photoshop, it opens a Camera Raw window for the file/s and then if I click on the open objects button, it does open them in Photoshop as smart objects.  The problem is that if I select, from the Bridge pop=up menu to open the selected file/s in Camera Raw, it is then that they do not get sent to Photoshop as smart objects.  Nothing happens, they just don't open in Photoshop.
    I am also having a very hard time sending dng files from Lightroom into Photoshop.  So clearly there is something not "connected" properly.  Or maybe it is not clearly, but I am supposing that there might be some general issue.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

  • Smart objects not updating (CS5)

    I am using CS5 Photoshop and when I try to save edits on an opened smart object (eg. after editing a ‘placed’ photograph) a ‘Save As’ dialog box appears. When I save the edits to the smart object, using the prompted file name, they are not reflected in the master document.
    Can anyone advise what the problem might be? Is the file path between the master document and smart object being lost?
    Thanks for the help.
    Justin

    Yes I am apply layers to a JPEG. So it's solved by flattening the image and saving, but this mean I lose my fiter and masking layers.
    Does that mean the quickest way would be to open the JPEG image before placing, save it as a PSD and then place it?

  • Vanishing Point Filter Always Crashes Photoshop CS5 - Anyone else have this problem?

    19 out of 20 times I use the vanishing point filter in PS CS5, it ends up crashing the program. This usually happens when I try to adjust the angle of a new plane. Does anyone else have this problem? I need to use this feature for my job. Are there any alternative filters or programs I could use instead, or could I somehow fix the plugin?

    Someone reported this way back around when PS CS5 was first released I think.  I don't find the thread but as I recall the advice at the time was to update the display driver on the system...  Visit the web site of the maker of your video card (e.g. nvidia.com or ATI.com) and download/install the latest driver release that matches your hardware and operating system.

  • Smart Object Rendering Issue

    I have an issue has been plaguing me since PS5, I've currently working in PS6 but I've seen this issue in PSCC. When I scale (and in this case, skew) a smart object with a shadow behind it (or any high contrast layer) I get an odd pixillation between the image and its shadow. I've created a couple work-arounds, but I thought I'd post here to see if anyone has any suggestions. It's annoying! Thanks in advance for any help. I'm attaching some images so you can see what I mean:

    Hmm, that definitely seems to be the issue. Any idea why it would be happening on brand new layers? And is there any hope of fixing it without having to go through and resize every single object manually by half a pixel? Either way, thanks.
    Edit: My concern is these are all at 100% x 100%, so while resizing them does "fix" the problem, the objects are now being resized in some way.
    Double edit: Moving the object with the transform tool fixes things without having to resize anything. In my book this is still a bug.

  • Smart object in PSD CS5`

    Why does ps create a temp ai file when placing smart object? Editing is linked temporary file instead of original.

    I assume you used CS5 in both offices?
    Before CS5, SOs did not work on the principle of external links. If you were using CS4 or earlier, it's not likely you saw an edited SO just because you made an edit to your original AI file. There's no connection between the two.
    Up to CS5, SO data is stored INSIDE Photoshop. When you double click an SO, that temporary file (the one you're asking about)  opens to make your edits, then "disappears" once you save it. That's how and when the SO is updated.
    It's my understanding that there's a plug-in or patch for CS5 that WILL permit linking. I don't have it but have read references to it in this forum. Someone will be along who knows more. But if such an add-on does exist, it's possible your success in the first office was due to it, and the machine in the second office didn't have it loaded?

  • Questions about smart objects in CS3-CS5.

    Hi.
    Two questions.
    When I replace content of smart object in CS2 the content takes the size of previous state of smart object in pixels.
    It was very useful when need to replace some background to another and it autoresized to the new size and proportion.
    For example, when I replace content of smart object with external size 100x90px and 100x90% proportion (can see with Ctrl-T) with file with 200x300px size, i have new smart object with old size 100x90px and new proportion 50x30%.
    When I try to do the same in CS3-CS5 I get smart object with size 160x216px and proportion 100x90%.
    Haw can I return the old behaviour?
    Second.
    In CS2 I use files with a lot of smart objects each of them may consists with some others smart objects and so on.
    But i can`t use this scheme in CS3-CS5 because of very high consumption of scratch memory.
    Very-very simple example. In CS2 create file 4000x3000px, create new layer and draw there black square 300x300px.
    Convert the "square" layer to smart object. Then duplicate it with Ctlt-J 30 times. Save the file and reopen.
    The scratch size is about 280 MB and practically not changing when moving layers with movetool.
    Open this file in CS5. The scratch size is about 2.5 GB and quickly increase to 5 GB and above when i try to move layers. And this is a very simple file.
    If i will try to open several such files in CS5 the amount of useing memory will be fantastic.
    Why there is such behaviour whis memory in cs3-cs5 photoshops?
    PS. sorry for my english. hope you understand me.

    Hi,
    What version of Ps and AI are you using?
    1. In Ps, there's no controls for the AI layer visibilty, but the visibility attributes should be respected.
    2. The placed file is an embedded copy, not a link to an external file. However, there is a script that you might find useful for your purposes. I'm not sure if the Win support improved with CS5.

  • When I open a website in Muse it often takes 5-10 minutes before the fonts display correctly. Anyone else had that problem?

    When I open an existing site in the Muse CC 2014, it will often (most of the time) take anywhere from 5 minutes to 10 minutes for the fonts to display correctly. Example below. Anyone else having that problem? It is always TypeKit fonts that take the longest. I know, a first-world problem but with 20+ sites I am losing 200 minutes every time I need to change something on all of them. That's almost half a day.

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

  • Interlacing problem - display issue or something else?

    Hi, another interlacing question...
    So I captured my footage (originally shot on film, telecined to digibeta) at 10 bit uncompressed to do my online (the offline edit was a 29.97 DVCam dub of that digibeta). Since I'm finishing on 29.97 digibeta, I didn't remove the pulldown as I captured offline or online, and am editing both at my finishing medium's frame rate. So yes, I have the duped fields in there, but it also keeps things simple and I've theoretically been seeing exactly what the finished version will look like the whole time.
    Last time I did this workflow I used a G4 running a dual 867 processor with a gig of RAM, and I had some jitter and interlacing "comb" visible when I watched the 10-bit on the Mac, but when I output to digibeta and DVD, it looked fine. So it appeared to be that my computer simply didn't have the juice to display it properly, but that the media itself was fine, as were both ways of outputting.
    Now I have a spankin' new Mac Pro with a quad 2.66G processor and 3Gigs of RAM, so I figured that "display issue" was behind me. But not only do I still see jitter and comb on my computer monitor, I also see it much worse on the test DVD I just made. So the problem isn't just the display. The look is very similar to when you capture a clip and remove the pulldown, but fail to start capture on an A frame (but since this is all 29.97, I know that isn't the problem).
    I thought it might be that the drives were not fast enough, so I reformatted two of my internal drives into a Raid 0 and put the media there and reconnected it. The raid seems happy, and it's less than half full, but the video doesn't look any better.
    Any idea what else could be causing this? I did just upgrade the project from the FCP 4.5 version I started to the FCP 6 on the new machine, plus my experience has been that moving from offline DV to online can allow in some bugs, but the ins/outs, clip names, frame rates, haven't changed. And of course I've been editnig 29.97 DV this whole time without seeing any of the interlacing on the monitor or tyhe outputs. Could field dominance have anything to do with this? I've never adjusted that in previous applications of this workflow, so it doesn't seem relevant, but I confess I'm not sure what I'm messing with there. Do I need still more RAM? The computers we ran at school a couple of years ago were running 10 bit video on G5s without significant upgrades to my knowledge, and this is just a single stream with a few tracks of audio here. I'm afraid to spend any more $$ until I'm pretty confident it'll solve the problem (shoestring budget here of course). Any thoughts?
    Many thanks.
    -Jeremy

    Thanks for the reply. I don't really have a way to hook up my computer to a broadcast monitor. I know I should, but can't really afford the card to do it. So I color corrected my footage carefully during telecine, and for things like this issue, I'm making DVDs quick and dirty through iDVD, then watching them on my home TV (an LCD that plays both SD and HD).
    I suppose something in my DVD player and/or TV might be giving me the weirdness in the display, but I think I mentioned I did this same workflow before on a lowly G4, and back then while the computer display showed the interlacing problems, the final output looks fine on the same TV/DVD setup I'm using now. (And I also output that timeline on the previous project to a digibeta master and it looked great too--unfortunately no way to test that digibeta output on the present project without going to a post house, which of course cuts into the budget.)
    Maybe I need to bite the bullet and stop being so cheap, but I'm hung up on the fact that it worked fine before, and I can't see how this stronger computer is performing comparatively poorly.
    BTW I do see the interlacing in FCP viewer and canvas, but only when it's set to 100% size. And it looks identical in Quicktime as well.
    The other thought that just occurred to me is that it might be a codec issue. Perhaps the uncompressed 10 bit codec on my new machine isn't quite the same 10 bit uncompressed as the Kona card used to capture the video for both new and old projects. Maybe my old computer worked ok because that codec was slightly different, or I may have even copied the codec to that computer at some point in the past.
    Any of this spur any other ideas? Again I really appreciate the help...

  • HT1338 There's not enough contrast in my 2012 MacBook Air display. Does anyone else have a problem with this? Can I fix it?

    When I watch streaming shows or movies on my Air the contrast is lousy. If it's a dark scene you can hardly see anything. Does anyone else have this issue? I've got it as bright as it lets me go.

    It seems that my pioneer DVD drive ate my disc and no matter what I do, I can't get it out.
    What have you done so far?  Provide details on what you have done to date in the way of troubleshooting and the results.  In doing so, the helpers here will avoid the "been there done that" response scenerio. 
    Have you tried any of the suggestions mentioned in this thread:  The Stuck CD/DVD Thread
    how hard is it to take the iMac apart?
    If your model iMac is not user repairable, do a Google search for DIY instructions.  Two places to start is iFixit and YouTube's tutorials.
    What is a good replacement for it?
    External CD/DVD burners.  Check out OWC & Lacie websites for CD/DVD drives.  Make sure you read the system requirements for the drives.
    Good luck!

  • A2DP pairing issues.. anyone else?  IS there a solution? OS 4 - car stereo

    As I write this I am trying to restore to the previous OS.. I have a DUAL and a pioneer that I used to use using A2DP with NO problem and now it doesn't pair with either of them!!
    I hope they fix this when I get the Iphone 4 in a couple of weeks!
    Anyone else is having problems pairing to your car stereo?..

    I had this same problem after updating my 3Gs to iOS 4, my iPhone 4 doesn't work either. It has to be an issue with iOS 4, because everything worked fine before.
    I tried messing around with this the other day and found that I can get it to pair if I delete the profiles from my stereo and phone and re-pair both devices. The problem is, once I shut off my vehicle and turn it back on, the A2DP connection doesn't come back up automatically, so I have to repeat the process to get them paired again... major PITA.
    What's weird is the hands free connection for the phone come's up every time and I can make and receive calls without issue.
    Hope Apple fixes this with a new revision to iOS 4.

  • Sync To CRM Time - Does This Cause Issues For Anyone Else?

    I have been a long-time Eloqua user. Primarily, the companies that I have worked are B-to-B and serve small businesses.  In the small business lead generation world, when you wait to respond to leads - you lose. The first one in usually gets the deal.  We have all of our lead generation activities running through Eloqua, including our PPL campaigns where multiple competitors are also responding to RFQ's and also our inbound sales call center uses it (via form) to submit leads in order to take advantage of the de-duplication and validation power in Eloqua.  The latter causes my sales team to wait 15 minutes while they are they are waiting for the lead to get created and transferred to them in CRM. 
    Here is my issue.  At best, it takes Eloqua 15 minutes to sync the leads to SFDC.  These programs are "straight to queue" integrations too.  I am running integration events straight from the form processing steps, so there are no program builder delays here.  The guys in Support have been really great, and have been working with me to see what can be done to decrease the lag time, but 15 minutes seems to be the acceptable rate. So, I am starting to think of ways to take them directly to SFDC and just live with the issues of duplicates and no validation.
    I can't be the only one that this causes issues for.  Does anyone else have this issue?

    Hi John,
    I too have had these issues.  The main problem is not program builder.  The integration queue/engine is prone to backlogs.  Rumor has it that the integration engine is shared by the campaign engine and a bunch of other services in the platform.  Either way, the integration queue will always have a lag.
    My solution was:
    1.  Push data from ELQ form to a SFDC Web-toLead Form IF ELQ contact has blank LeadID and ContactID (does not exist in SFDC) -- this creates leads instantly in SFDC.
    2.  Run an apex trigger from SFDC to do a blind form submit to Eloqua with the email address and SFDC Lead ID for the leads created from step1 -- this will ensure that creating duplicate leads in SFDC is minimized.
    3.  Send notifications from ELQ form to Sales Reps if ELQ contact already exists in SFDC as Lead or Contact. -- even without the updates on the lead or contact records in sfdc, this gives the reps an immediate heads up. 
    4.  Send the rest of the information that I couldn't fit into the post-data-to-server step for the new lead.
    Of course I also baked into the form processing steps a bunch of conditions to mitigate spam.
