Using CS2 and ACR simultaneously

I am running Windows XP with Photoshop CS2 with ACR 3.7.
I am saving multiple RAW files as a batch process with the ACR window.
I've seen that others are able to run batches in the ACR window and still be able to do other things in Photoshop. Yes, I'm a multitasker!
However, when I run the batch in ACR, then try to switch back to the main CS2 window, the program won't let me (won't select, come into focus) while ACR window just blinks at me.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting that I'm missing?

Great! problem solved! Thank you, Thank you!!! Even with PS closed, when I double clicked a thumb in Bridge, it opened PS and ACR through PS. I tried right clicking on a thumb in Bridge and selected "open in ACR" and that did it.

QT SDK. Use encoder and decoder simultaneously

We develop a software for video conversion. When we tried to convert QT DV to QT DV with different settings the SDK don't work properly. I guess that some conflict occurs when we use encoder and decoder simultaneously.
Is is known bug? Is there any workaround?

How to use javascript and scriptlet simultaneously

Hi all!!
I have a jsp page on which there are two selection lists. One is for publisher names list and second is for journal names list corresponding to publisher selected in first selection list.
When publisher name is selected in first selection list then all journal names should be listed in second selection list. it requires fetching rows in database.
ie; action is onChange of first selection list ie; javascript and database is of scriptlet part.
how to do that??
I know that scriptlet can't be used in javascript. and it is possible by submitting this form. but i don't want to submit this form.
Please help me out.

Hi _abhi,
Use the onchage action in the drop down tag which will redirect using URL encode to the same page and get the parameter data and pass the value to the second Drop down

Ability to use airport and ethernet simultaneously

On my old MBP I was able to bring up both the ethernet and the airport at the same time (on different networks). I migrated everything over to my new MBP and now I can only have one or the other connect. The second connects, but never gets an IP address (both use DHCP). By turning off one or the other I can switch between interfaces, but never have them both alive at the same time. One is connected to a 10. network, one connected to a 192.168 net. I have tried creating a new location with just the two interfaces in there but the outcome is exactly the same.
Is there a limitation on the new MBP that does not allow both interfaces to be alive at the same time? I use this to connect to my work network on the physical interface and connect to my home wireless for local printing and NAS support.
Thanks

There should not be anything inherent to the new computer or OS that will disallow this. What happens if you assign manual IP address for the Ethernet interface?
If you used migration assistant to transfer over your data and settings - that may have messed up some things. Is it possible to verify if it works like before on a clean OSX install?

Satellite A300-15C - WLan crashes using BT and WLan simultaneously

Hello,
I bought notebook Toshiba Satellite A300-15C last month.
I run Wifi and Bluetooth simultaneouly. Connecting by Wifi was crashing.
Then I disable Bluetooth and it was working perfectly.
How can I change Bluetooth frequency or why it is not working simultaneouly with Bluetooth?
I have notebook less than 10 meters from Access Point with 8.5dBi Outdoor Antenna and signal is not.
Other Access Point is 20 meters from antenna and it is working with full speed.
Why signal is not?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium with latest drivers.
Ales Pospichal

Hi
What do you mean by crashing??
> Other Access Point is 20 meters from antenna and it is working with full speed
Does it mean that you can receive the WLan signals from another access point correctly using the BT and WLan together???
If this is the case then it could be a compatibility issue with your another WLan router.
Im not quite sure what WLan card you have, but I would recommend updating the WLan driver firstly and the BIOS if available.

Hundreds of clients still use CS2, but we want to upgrade--what to do?

I know InDesign backwards compatibility and version conversion (or lack thereof) can be a contentious subject, and I know it's been discussed here at great length (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/641138?start=0&tstart=0), but I thought it might be worth a try to present my production department's dilemma. What to do when InDesign CS2 is getting more and more buggy on our Macs, but moving to CS5 would make our files unusable for most of our clients?
We've been putting off dealing with this issue as long as we could, but it's becoming more and more urgent as Adobe releases new CS versions.
The details:
I'm the production manager/art director for a small inhouse art department. We have 5 art department Macs and 7 editorial department Macs running CS2 (InDesign, Illustrator and PhotoShop) in 10.5 or 10.4, depending on the Mac.
Our company sell and distribute editable InDesign CS2 files (puzzles, graphics and so forth) to hundreds of clients around the world, most of whom are newspapers.
It'd be really nice if they'd upgrade, but newspapers are cutting their budgets and laying off staff left and right, and they're certainly not about to upgrade if they can avoid it. Seriously: a large percentage of them are still using Quark 4 in Mac Classic, which we can't support, so they have to recreate the puzzles from scratch using text and eps files. (The puzzles we still distribute as Quark files we have to create in 6.5 and backsave to 5, though I realize there is software out there from Marksware that could solve this problem.)
I'd love to just give them PDFs... But these files need to be editable so that the newspapers can change them to match their own fonts and styles, or edit them to fit, or translate them into other languages. (We create them with generic fonts such as Helvetica and Times that all newspapers are bound to already own, since we can't distribute fonts along with the files).
Meanwhile, as our own computers get upgraded or replaced, InDesign CS2 is causing more and more issues--it crashes all the time, doesn't work right in Snow Leopard (we had to downgrade back to regular Leopard), and of course won't open files created in later versions, since someone with CS5 or CS4 can't backsave to CS2.
So what are the possible solutions? Has anyone else dealt with this? What have you done? Some things I've considered:
Trying to create editable PDFs... but many of the clients we have are not particularly tech-savvy, and I have to admit I'm not sure how to do this in an efficient and user-friendly way.
Buying CS5 for just department, and digging through eBay and other channels to buy just enough copies of CS3 and CS4 to use as a bridge back to CS2. But this just seems like such a clunky and inefficient solution that would significantly slow down all those nice production workflows I spent so much time streamlining.
Letting clients know that the oldest version we could support is CS3. But that still leaves the problem that we'd have to get a bunch of copies of CS4, which is no longer the latest!
Sigh... this is driving me nuts! Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thank you all for your responses! Peter, you're correct that I did already pretty much know the answer, but I was hoping there was just some trick or solution out there that we hadn't thought of that other InDesign users had come across.
We are indeed trying to hold on to and maintain some older Macs for using CS2, and even have a Mac still running Classic for Quark 4 (oh, and Pagemaker--my goodness, I forgot about all our Pagemaker documents!). And I'll talk to the folks here about setting up a more robust long-term technology plan.
Bob, you are also correct that in hindsight my company probably should have bought each version as it came out, and maybe we will do that going forward.
But I have to say I'm still frustrated that no third-party conversion app exists, especially since the files we create for distribution are quite simple -- they don't use any of the advanced features of the software at all. Oh well!

Compatibility Issues with CS2 and Windows 2000 XP??? This is supposed to be THE one operating system CS2 DOES WORK ON? Can someone help - I really need my CS2 back! Thanks.

HELP! Years ago - SEVEN to be exact- I PURCHASED Adobe CS2 and used it extensively. Then I was in an accident that took five years to recover from. After my recovery I tried to get back to using my Adobe products only to find that Adobe was discouraging use of CS2 and since I OWN a LICENSE and that was the LAST version I used I wanted to begin again with a version I am familiar with. Many months later, apparently I wasn't the only one who wanted to KEEP USING CS2 and now Adobe has made it possible to download this version for PC and MAC, BUT due to OS compatibility issues Adobe continues to discourage downloading and use. HERE'S THE THING: I have the SAME SYSTEM running the SAME OS as when I first PURCHASED IT. I have downloaded the EXACT SAME VERSION of CS2. It installs fine. But I cannot OPEN the application and the troubleshooter reports there are "COMPATIBILITY ISSUES". WHY?!?!?!?!?
I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 XP. I OWN a LICENSE for Adobe CS2 and it used to run on this very same machine. I had to re-format my system two years ago so it has much more free space but when I try to OPEN the application it won't run. When I run the Windows Troubleshooter it reports system compatibility issues?! Can anyone advise me what to try now??? Thank you.

Yes, I have. My system was completely cleaned of everything and I'm just now RE-INSTALLING CS2 for Windows2000 XP from the Adobe site that gives you versions to select for your OS. I have successfully downloaded disks 1,2 and 3 and I can INSTALL disks 1 and 2, but it FAILS at disk 3. I REALLY need to resolve this today because I need to submit some work by tomorrow and the troubleshooting isn't helping!
Can you advise anything else . . . anyone? Thank you!

Using LR2 w/ Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.7

I am using Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.7 on a Mac G4, OS X 10.4.11.
I am about to install my upgrade to Lightroom 2. Is this a bad idea?
I have read about some compatibility issues re Camera Raw, and I have also read about how to solve the issue of exporting the keywords.
Will this keyword issue fix work on my system?
What are the real-world practical implications of still having Camera Raw 3.7? I usually adjust images in Lightroom, then any further adjustment is done in Photoshop (not CR). So is the only downside going to be that if I revisit the image in Camera Raw, the adjustments will not show up? Or will it also not show up in Bridge?? And if it is only in CR, is it that the image does not have the adjustments; or does it show the adjusted image, but has just all the sliders zeroed out?
I am hot to install LR2, but I want to make sure that I am not going to open a can of worms. And yes, I could buy PS CS4 (which would get me CR 4.5), and I would like to, but I don't have a G5. And I cannot afford to buy a new desktop computer right now.
Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Dean Abramson

>so is the LR version of RAW as good as the one in CS3?
It's far better as it has local adjustments and such. Lightroom is more equivalent to the ACR in CS4. To make changes you make to images in ACR outside Lightroom show up in Lightroom, you need to sync the metadata. ACR does not write the changes to RAW images to the Lightroom database, but it writes it into xmp sidecars either right next to the RAW file or embedded into it. So Lightroom has no idea you did anything until you specifically ask it to check for updated metadata.
Note that trying to work with both bridge/ACR and Lightroom on the same set of data will inevitably make you lose data or edits at some point as you're dealing with a synchronization issue, so be careful.

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image,

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
Thanks.

I have CS2 and I use it almost every day.. Today when I tried to launch it, a prompt came up saying my Activation was no longer valid and it closed automatically. Then when I tried to re-open it, a prompt came up saying "A serious error has occured" Please re-install the software... I have no idea where my software is... That was many many years ago? HELP!!

When you go to the download page, you must do two things:
Download this file: PhSp_CS2_English.exe on the download page.
Use the serial number on the download page in order to install your non-activation copy.
Do not use your old CD or serial number. It no longer works.
If you have Windows 7, the advice is to turn off UAC and run the installer as Administrator.

Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo? simultaneously?

Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo? I just bought a second airport so I could listen to itunes & Pandora on my stereo. My problem is that I haven't been able to connect to both airports at once. I want to listen to the stereo (one airport) while using internet which is connected to a separate airport. Unfortunately, the stereo and ethernet cables are not close by which is why I bought the second airport.

You can run both simultaneously. You just need to reconfigure the base station that will be used for streaming as a wireless client.
I suggest that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration. By default, the AXn will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
After the reset has completed, plug the AXn into power, and then, verify from the iMac that this network shows up in the list of networks under the AirPort icon in the OS X menu bar.
Be sure to first switch the wireless network to the AirPort that will be used for streaming. Note: You will temporarily lose the Internet connection from your "main" AirPort. Then, run the AirPort Utility. The Utility should now find the streaming AXn. If not, use the Utility's "Configure Other" option under the File menu option in the Utility's menu bar. Enter 10.0.1.1 for the Address and "public" for the Password.
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <existing "main" AirPort's wireless network>
Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup >Music
Enable AirPlay (checked)
iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
Verify Password: (optional)
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

Playing Music via Airtunes and using as a repeater simultaneously

Id like to use Airport Express as a repeater and a client for playing music via Airtunes simultaneously. Is this possible anyhow? I do only have two choices using the airport-assistant: 1st Connecting to use Airtunes and bonjour printer; 2nd using as a repeater. This can´t be everything!

alterkram, Welcome to the discussion area!
Regardless if you configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join a wireless network or as part of a WDS, both Airtunes (music streaming) and wireless printing are available.

Adobe CS2 and Snow Leopard - do I have to buy CS4 to use SL?????

That is RIDICULOUS!!!!
In order to use Snow Leopard I have to spend 1,000 in a new CS suite!!????
Adobe is in debt with all the CS, CS2 and CS3 users who can't install a new OS on their Macs
because there is no support for CS old Versions.
Shame on you Adobe!!!
We demand a patch to solve this situation!!!
Old CS users United!!!!

Have you yet complained to St. Steve of Cupertino that Apple does so little to maintain application compatibility when they release new versions of their operating systems?
It is a primary rule of operating system development and maintenance that you maintain full compatibility with existing applications and not break such compatibility just for the purpose of being "neat and cool, cool and neat."
If you are willing to spend time and $$$$ to upgrade your operating system to a new and incompatible version, you should be prepared to also spend money for versions of applications that had to be seriously rejiggered to work with these incompatibilities.
Adobe didn't break compatibility, Apple did. Complain to them!

I own an iMac and a Macbook Air and I have iWorks on my iMac. Can I copy it to my Air so that I can use it while working out-of-town? It would not be used on both computers simultaneously.

I own an iMac and a Macbook Air and I have iWorks on my iMac. Can I copy it to my Air so that I can use it while working out-of-town? It would not be used on both computers simultaneously.

It depends on how you bought iWork (no 's').
If you bought a single-user retail box or license from the trial, no, you cannot legally install it on another Mac.
If you bought a family pack retail box or licesnce, you can install on up to five Macs in your household.
If you bought it from the Mac App Store, you can install the apps on as many Macs that you have by opening the Mac App Store & clicking on Purchases. Enter your Apple ID & click install.

Right steps to use DNG Profile Editor and ACR

What is the right sequence of steps to do to use properly DNG PE and ACR ?
Must be converted the RAW in DNG directly, without open the RAW in ACR ?
Must be opened the RAW file in ACR, reset the ACR values to zero and then convert the RAW in DNG format ?
Must be converted the RAW file in DNG and then reset the ACR values before apply the camera recipe created ?
thanks in advance,
federico

thank you Massimo,
the procedure is clear now.
"What is the nearest original Adobe profile that is so "equal" to the GM one you obtain?"
what i want to say is that when i open the file raw in ACR i see some colors. when i apply the profile generated by PE, i see about the sames colors. i notice that the colors are about the same without the profile (little differences i see in the darken tones but only in the ACR graphic). this with my D700. with the D200 the differences before to apply the profile and after are strong, visible.
Grazie Massimo,
credo sia tutto chiaro adesso anche se mi lascia perplesso il risultato finale.
"What is the nearest original Adobe profile that is so "equal" to the GM one you obtain?"
quello che volevo dire è che con o senza profilo, praticamente l'immagine con la D700 varia di pochissimo (me ne accorgo solo leggendo il grafico in ACR). con la D200 invece, applicare un profilo ha un impatto molto evidente, le differenze sono marcate.
grazie
ps: your english is right. it is mine that does not work so well.
