"Soft" Line Breaks in Photoshop CS3?

Hello,
I used to be able to do a "soft" line break in photoshop by hitting "shift + enter." it's not working anymore-- it's only giving me a "hard return".
are we no longer able to do soft breaks in photoshop anymore?
thanks,

In what version of Photoshop could you do this? I don't recall it working in ages.

[iPhone] Soft line-breaker

I want to render strings on a view by myself on iPhone.
How can I know where soft line-breaks are in a string?
If a line-braker considers word-wraps, that would be better.
On Mac, I used ATSUBreakLine of ATSUI.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/ATSUIReference/Reference/reference.html#//appleref/c/func/ATSUBreakLine
That works well on Mac.
But iPhone SDK doesn't contain it.
And I investigated Quartz 2D text functions.
But I cannot find any functions I want.
Any ideas?
* What I want:
Input:
String, font, max width in pixels
Output:
Number of characters we can print within the max width
Soft line-breaker (considering word-wraps) would be better

Line break in photoshop image

I had a tif file of a mountain climber which was placed in an Indesign file as a cover for a brochure. The indesign file went through a number of text edits during the course of August through November. Towards the last month of November a line gap appeared in the cover on the tif file. When I opened the tif file the gap appeared across the top quarter of the image. Why did this happen? Unfortunately I did not catch this and my client had to reprint the cover images at the press. My OS system is Maverick and I was using an older photoshop, CS5.

No the original image does not have the line break. See below.
I duplicated the image below for the current project and the line break occurred midway through the project. It seems that the image somehow got corrupted but I did not open it up in photoshop at all.

Soft Brush Problem in Photoshop CS3 - edges of brush show pink banding

This is my first post but I am a relatively seasoned photoshop user. When using a soft brush for anything (coloring or masking) I am getting lines and hard edges around the outer perimeter of the brush edges. For example, if I use a 600 pxl brush set to 0% hardness and start to paint on a white background, the color at the outer edges of the paint looks pinkish and it looks like there is actually a slightly pinkish hard edge where the outermost edge of the paint stops. It should just disappear into complete transparency but I am getting this weird edge.
This is happening out of nowhere too. I have been working on this machine for at least a year with the same monitor and everything. It just started happening yesterday for no apparent reason. I tried re-installing CS3 and it didn't help. I tried resetting my preferences when starting up photoshop and that didn't help either. I have not made any changes whatsoever to my monitor settings since day one and up until now it has been working beautifully.
I am on a Mac - G5 2x3.2 Ghz Quad core processors, 8 Gb of Ram. Nvidia G-Force 8800 GT graphics card, Brand new 24" flat panel LCD set to show colors in millions... also set to Cinema HD mode which was the default setting that it was set to.
This is happening regardless of color mode - RGB or CMYK and regardless of bits per channel 8 vs 16 vs 32. Files I work on are set up at 300dpi usually in CMYK mode. It happens regardless of whether shape dynamics/smoothing/etc (brush presets) are turned on or off.
I would be happy to send anyone that can help a screenshot of what I am talking about. Please help!!!

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I really appreciate it. This has been a bit frustrating because no one else can see the issue but me I suppose. I just don't know why my monitor would change all of the sudden for no reason. I know all monitors eventually go bad but this one is only a year old and looks beautiful in every other way. No other problems with any other programs or anything. The overall color, brightness, contrast, etc are still amazing.
It is still covered under the warranty so I can take it in to the Apple store to see if they can find an issue with it. I will be sure to let you guys know what they say. I have seen this same issue on 2 other forums on other sites - one person said that after exhausting all possibilities he determined that the issue was with photoshop. The other person was getting responses back from people telling her to add noise to her files to improve the banding, which is not really a solution to the root of the problem.
Hopefully, if it is a monitor issue, recallibrating will fix the problem. I did, however, go through the callibrator assistant found in system preferences and it didn't help. Also tried to adjust the "Edit" - "Colors" setting within photoshop and that didn't help either.
Both of the Adobe support specialists that I talked to were stumped. They said that the only 2 things they could think of were the monitor or maybe the graphics card gone bad.
Anyway, thank you all again for your help. I have never used this forum before having this issue and I want to say that I really appreciate all of you stepping up to help me with my problem in such a prompt and helpful manner.

Spell Check and Line Breaks

Hello,
When creating a story/text box in ID, I often have lines with soft line breaks (shift-return).
When I running spell-check, it sees the new, broken line as a new sentence.
Example,
"This is my sentence and then
if I break it like this."
Spell check will return "if" as an error which needs to be capitalized.
Is there a way to turn off this aspect of spell check?
Or some other way to avoid this issue?
Thank you in advance.

Nevermind. I think I figured out.

Photoshop CS3 is not working with my Intuos suddenly!!! Pen goes in crazy lines instead of behaving?!

I am so frustrated tonight. My BRAND NEW Wacom Intuos tablet worked fine the last time I tried it, a couple months ago. I am running a Mac OSX with Parallels and Windows 7, which I run Photoshop CS3 on. It was doing fine but now suddenly I try it tonight and it goes crazy when I'm trying to paint with the brush--sensitivity is gone, it's just a thick line; more importantly, it won't behave!! The pen keeps spazzing and doing these retarded straight lines instead of going where I want it to go!!! It works perfectly fine outside of Photoshop, both on the Windows AND Mac side, so obviously this is a Photoshop problem. I've installed the latest Wacom Intuos driver for Win7 and it won't work. I've tried having Photoshop open first and then plugging in the tablet and I've tried plugging in the tablet first and then opening Photoshop. still no good.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

You installed the latest driver from here?
Drivers | Wacom
Also, resetting the photoshop cs3 preferences could help.
Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Shift+Cmd+Option) keys just after starting the launch of photoshop cs3.
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes because you do.

White Lines appear on Images in Adobe Photoshop CS3

White Lines appear on Images in Adobe Photoshop CS3
Recently discover that on three different computers, while editing images in Adobe Photoshop CS3, white lines would appear on some of the images.
For example changing a image from a .jpg to a .psd or size, or enchantment features, the white lines would appear on the image.
The lines did not appear on any of the printed images, any suggestions.
Monitor: Sony Trintron Multiscan G4110
Computer: Mac G5

>The lines did not appear on any of the printed images,
Although it is odd that three computers exhibit the same problem, and unless you can provide other coincidences (same files, same monitor, etc.), I agree. The video card is typically the culprit IF the image anomalies don't print and if they move about with each image resizing or opening of a specific image. Check to see if it's properly seated and connected. Same for monitor cable. Try swapping in another card.
One other thought: as this is a CRT monitor, what happens if you change the resolution and refresh rate? Are you using a recommended combination for that monitor?

Photoshop CS3 web gallery bugs(?); vanishing metadata, bad sort order

Running OS 1.5.4 on 24" Imac, I'm attempting to generate a "horizontal slideshow" from bridge-selected files in Photoshop CS3.
[Sounded like the problem in this post: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2 but on re-reading I've decided it's different so I'm giving it it's own thread, with more detail...]
Here's my experience:
1) Description and title show up for a second on the first slide, then revert to just the blank template on that and all subsequent slides (title: [blank] description: [blank]....
Hitting "refresh" produces the descriptive metadata for a tantalizing moment, then it' s back to the blank template for this and all subsequent slides. It does this both for Safari and Firefox.
You can view this behavior in a slideshow at http://oasisdesign.net/projects/earthtoilet/
If it asks for a password, use---
user:earthling
pass: draf1 )
"preserve all metadata" is checked.
I've tried all combinations of checking/ unchecking "title, description, filename" for labeling...also, making slideshows with just one or two slides to reduce the chance that it's a weird character issue of the type some other folks have experienced...
2) additionally, the web gallery is not respecting the manual sort order in Bridge, which is the source of the files. The help files say the slideshow should follow the manual sort order in Bridge.
3) Finally, metadata entered in bridge metadata tab sometimes vanishes, sometimes metadata entered in file info wouldn't show in the metadata tab.
Thanks for your help!!

BTW, here's the related issues I found:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2
...After some investigation, I found that the descriptions were disappearing only for photos that had a Return / Line Break in the description. If you go back and make sure all of your descriptions are a single line, it works fine....

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bd62ec3/0

OK...here's the hack I used to get around what I'm now totally convinced are program bugs and shortcomings relative to advertised functionality, for anyone else who has to deal with this, followed by my (suggested fixes to Adobe)...
1) Sort everything the way you want in bridge.
2) Make meta descriptions w/o weird characters (a warning here would be helpful)
3) Use "batch rename," with "copy to another folder" to give the images totally plain vanilla, DOS-style file names (001.jpg, 002.jpg...). This solves most filename issues and the works around web gallery's failure to recognize bridge sort order in one go. Note that you can irrevocably screw up the names of all your original files if you're not very careful to COPY at this step.
([a] make the bridge sort work directly, as advertised, por favor. [b] add an error message or warning about file names such as 006-(2).jpg causing malfunction. A compassionate, low-effort short-term patch for Mac users of web gallery, especially since bridge generates that particular sort name itself invisibly and automatically if you move a file with the same name into a folder)
4) Use "white on black" instead of bug-ridden "horizontal slideshow" (horizontal slideshow should be fixed or deleted from the next version...multiple slideshow options would be awesome, as they advance automatically at the max rate the user's bandwidth allows, a very attractive feature)
5) Restrict all images to the same height so users can click *in the same spot* to advance the 200 images with less carpal tunnel (the advance arrow should *always* be in the same spot, for every web gallery, IMHO)
Web galleries are a fantastic tool for sharing information easily...I hope to see some evolution in those great automatic updates someday...

Photoshop CS3 for Windows painfully slow

I am using Photoshop CS3 on a Windows machine using Vista. It's got a fast dual core processor. Over the last couple months Photoshop has begun operating so slowly that it's practically unusable. I've reset the preferences numerous times. I've upped the RAM in the PC from 2 gigs to 4, and that's offered no relief. I've allocated more RAM to Photoshop. Nothing has helped.
I reached a breaking point today and spent a full day troubleshooting. I've determined that it's a problem with this installation of Photoshop asking for WAY too much scratch disk space. For example, when I open a 2.5meg file on this machine it requires 3.6 gigs of scratch disk space. When I open the exact same file on another machine, it requires only 95 megs of scratch disk space. I have more than four gigs of space available for scratch disk usage on the effected machine, but the fact that it's doing all this reading and writing to a hard drive is killing the performance of the application.
Obviously, there's a problem with this installation of the software. I've tried reinstalling, and that doesn't help.
I called the Adobe tech support line, and they wouldn't touch this questions. They wanted to charge me $39 to even hear what the problem was and then said that they weren't sure they could resolve any issue--especially one like this--after accepting payment. (So, why would I give them a credit card number?) They suggested I post here instead. (Um, great support strategy, huh? I'm a bit frustrated, if you can't tell....)
OK, so off the complaining now. Any ideas for what I can do--short of chucking this PC and buying a new one to reinstall on?

Thanks for the feedback, but none of these things has helped.
I'm working with a recently defragged hard drive with over 35g of free space for scratch disk use. I've done everything in the Knowledge Base post about optimizing CS3, and nothing has worked.
I came across this thread on the same topic from a year and a half ago--and after extensive feedback and testing there was no resolution found to the issue back then:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1663211#1663211
I'm not holding out much hope here--unless someone from Adobe weighs in since my guess is that this is a software-hardware compatibility related issue. I have a friend who faced this same issue a while ago and ended up solving it by buying a new computer--which took care of the issue.
One more thing I could add that might spark a thought for someone. When I lauch Photoshop, the start up process hangs for about 2 minutes on the step where the application is "Reading preferences." The hard drive grinds away at this point, and I assume it's preparing a huge scratch disk space. It could be that there's a preferenece embedded in the registry which is causing this, but I have no idea how I would go about finding that.
Any other thoughts?

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Image Processor not converting files to sRGB Profile

I have been experiencing a problem with Photoshop CS3 Image Processor no longer converting profiles to sRGB. It converts all of the files from Camera Raw to JPEG, but not sRGB as well. I used to be able to batch convert an entire folder of RAW images to JPEG, sRGB through the Image Processor.
My Photoshop CS3 Working Space is Adobe RGB (1998). I need to convert an entire folder of images selected in Bridge to sRGB working space in order to publish a photo album from one of the on-line publishing companies. I can open each individual Camera Raw file in Photoshop and convert each to JPEG, sRGB, but this takes a tremendous amount of time.
The following procedure has worked for me in the past, but for some reason no longer works:
I select the images in the desired Bridge CS3 folder. Upper tool bar, "Tools" > "Photoshop" > "Image Processor". In Image Processor:
Section 1 - ""Process files from Bridge only (11)" Whether or not I place a checkmark by "Open first image to apply settings", it makes no difference in the outcome.
Section 2: "Save in same location"
Section 3 - "Checkmark by "Save as JPEG, quality 12". Also a checkmark by "Convert Profile to sRGB"
Section 4 - Checkmark by "Include ICC Profile"
I replaced my iMac one month ago and reinstalled Photoshop CS3, but this Image Processor problem had been occurring even with my old computer.
Not sure if you need this information:
I'm currently on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
Processor: 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
I don't know if it's related, Photoshop CS3 on my old computer was running in Rosetta. I don't know if it's running in Rosetta now, the name does not appear when Photoshop boots up. How do I get it to run in Rosetta again?

Heh heh heh. It's always true that we find the answer just after making public our problems, which in turn we did after trying to find the problems ourselves for hours.
Thanks for following up with the answer.

Photoshop CS3 opening files painfully slow on a Mac

We're having an issue here at work where Photoshop CS3 is very slow in opening files of any size on our Macs.
We're running 10.5.8 on 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon MacPros with 3 of them having 8 gigs of ram and my machine running 12 gigs.
I've tried doing a bunch of research on the issue, but all I can find about it has to do with the issue on a Windows machine involving the network/default printers. I've tried deleting both our network printers and adding them again after a restart with no luck. We've even tried deleting the Photoshop preference file along with the Adobe Mediabrowser preference.
If anybody has any thoughts on how to fix this (aside from upgrading to a newer CS), they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I think I found a little work around that so far, for the past hour or so is working good. Files are opening up a lot faster.
What I did was create a virtual default printer following instructions I found Adobe's site...
1. Open System Preferences, and select Print & Fax.
2. Choose the + sign to add a new printer.
3. Choose IP.
4. In the Protocol pop-up menu, choose Line Printer Daemon - LPD.
5. In the Address field, type in localhost.
6. After Generic PostScript printer displays in the Print Using field, click Add.
7. Close out of the Print & Fax preference or Quit System Preferences.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html
Once I did all that, I had to go into the Preferences and delete the Photoshop and Mediabrowser preferenses and then restart the computer. Hopefully this fix sticks, but if not, I'm sure I'll back to see if anybody has any other ideas.
Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it.
EDIT
Well, it's been a few days and it looks like I may have spoke too soon on the above fix. Photoshop seems to be slowly reverting back to the problem.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Bridge

I finally succeeded installing photoshop CS3. My problem now is Bridge is buggy the only mode that I can use is light table,when I change modes the interface breaks up and I have small broken up ikons every time I try to get a thumb nail to open. Photoshop seems to be ok. Lightroom works great and I never had any problems with PS CS2. CS3 beta worked great.

From Photoshop CS3 to Suite Production Premium CS4 - order failed

Hello,
I have a little problem with buying a product from Adobe. I have Photoshop CS3 and I want to buy CS4 Suite Production Premium. When I search for this product and check the upgrade options it says that I can upgrade from my Photoshop CS3 version. However, when I order this product I get an order cancelation after some minutes without any reason - and no, it is not a CreditCard problem - I checked everything. All data is correct. Where there would be a real problem, why I don't get a call from them?
Then I called the sales hotline and the guy on the line told me that I need the Upsell version and that he can't check why the online order was canceled. Ok - I ordered this upsell version for a higher price than the online upgrade version. Some hours later I got a weird email from Adobe saying again that my order has been canceled. ??? I wonder whats going on there. I can't reach the sales guy on the weekend so I have to wait and I know that he can't give any information about why the order has been canceld again (why that?). That way it seems I am not able to order any product from Adobe and honestly I don't want to order it from Adobe directly anymore.
May it be possible that I can't upgrade or upsell from Photoshop CS3 alone to the Production Premium Suite CS4 - even it saying like this on their website.
Also, why is there only the upgrade version available on the online store and not the upsell version and why do I see an upgrade option even it must be called upsell version?
Why is the upgrade manager: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/upgrade saying the same that I CAN UPGRADE from Photoshop CS3 to this Suite.
I am speechless about that much trouble with a company like Adobe. And yes, this is my first try to order a Suite from Adobe directly. Now I am very unsure what to buy, where to buy and how I get this to work.
Btw. Customer Support didn't answer my emails about this.
Thanks for any hint!
Andreas

I did that twice and called them. They are always saying that they can't see what the problem is but they can setup a new order and try again - hello? - try and error ordering. I will not order on the Adobe Store anymore. This was the first and my last time I tried to order on their site or via a sales agent from their sales team. Also, when I see their emails that came back about the cancelation: No Subject line, weird emailaddress and with some really confusing product description and with a standard answer. I first thought it was some spam. I am really disapointed about their service.
I also found out that the sales guy put in a wrong phone number and I can remember we checked the number three times. I mean, I don't order a pair of socks here - I want a pro sales service for a pro product where I pay a lot of money for.

Line Breaks missing in captions from other programs...

I've spent the last few hours searching around, and I've been unable to find any solution to a weird thing I noticed.
I've recently purchased LR 3.4.1 and when I imported a handful of older pics that had had the captions set using Bridge, the line breaks were now gone.
I then went to Bridge and tested it, and sure enough, it can read line breaks from LR, but the opposite doesn't seem to be true. As part of my work, I get a bunch of photos that other photogs have shot and added captions to via Bridge, but I can't seem to find any check box or setting on how to get LR to read the line breaks.
Any one have any advice on how to get LR to read line breaks from other programs? I'd hate to have to go through and re-caption each and every single photo, especially when adding the older ones into LR to use it as a DAM.
Thanks!

This is a long-standing, annoying bug in Windows LR that has been acknowledged by Adobe:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/newline_bug_in_caption_text
Please go to the feedback site and vote for that issue to get fixed.
It is just a display problem in LR -- the line breaks in the metadata are preserved, and if you enter line breaks in the metadata, they are preserved too.
