Using old, unmaintained Kodak plug ins

Dear Adobe Staff, please take action to make Kodak Plug Ins possible for Macintosh CS6.
Aparently, they are unable to integrate them into the new version of Photoshop without your participation.
Below is their reply.
Please be aware that our Plug-Ins are 32-bit. CS5 allowed for our Plug-Ins to be installed in 32-bit mode on the Mac, but this was not offered for CS6. You might check with Adobe to see if they will offer this in future.
We are currently evaluating the possibility of updating our Kodak Professional Image Enhancement Plug-Ins to 64-bit, but have no definite plans as of now. Please periodically visit our website for any updates to our plug-in availability.
Please reply to this e-mail should you have future questions.
Sincerely,
Kodak Professional Technical Support

It's not that they don't allow for it. A 64 bit Photoshop application simply can't call on 32 bit plug-ins.
Adobe has moved away from providing 32 bit Macintosh software on purpose. As I recall, Apple may not provide the 32 bit development environment they need, and Adobe's move is not dissimilar from Apple's clear philosophy of quickly dropping support for old things. You can find more info on Adobe's decision to stop making 32 bit Macintosh versions in various places online... For example:
http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2012/03/photoshop-cs6-operating-system-support-and- beyond.html
By the wording of their response, Kodak clearly recognizes the need to move up to 64 bits. But they're no longer really a happening company, so it's unlikely they'll be funding new development efforts.

Help! Error "...'[Filename].indd' uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available..." Wh

Hello guys,
I called Adobe for help on this, but they said my version of InDesign was too old for them to help me, which was really discouraging. I am getting an error when I try to open my InDesign files, which up until a couple weeks ago, opened fine. I am getting the error below:

I've tried deleting and reinstalling CS2. I've tried removing my preferences. Neither have worked. I am close to just resorting to Apple's Pages for my layout design. If anyone can give some fixes here, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you!

Verify that you are running ID CS2, InDesign version 4.x. What level are you patched to from the InDesign>About InDesign drop down splash screen?
The message alerts to files being version 2.0.x? that is 2 versions back, are these old files?
Can you create, open, edit, save new files?

Problems using third party Flash plug-ins for Captivate 4 content

I'm using a few Flash CS4 plug-ins (Control VR, 3D Carousel XML) that work perfectly well in Flash.
However, when importing the animations into Captivate 4, numerous cryptic errors occur which seem to be related to the XML file.
Do I need to do anything different when importing Flash animations that include XML data? The XML files are all in the same folder as the Flash movies and the Captivate file, but it still doesn't work.
Any help appreciated!

Hi Kevin,
Because this is a commercial plug-in and therefore I cannot test it without purchasing the component. I would recommend that you report this issue to the Adobe Captivate team and send them the both the source CP file and the component. Although I have had some success in getting XML code recognized by CP there could be many reasons why the XML code from this component is not being intrepreted.

Why doesn't "Elements 10 Editor only" allow the use of Nik Software plug ins??

I was very excited yesterday when I noticed in the Apple App store that a version of Elements called "Elements 10 Editor only" was for sale. Since I never use the Organizer this is perfect for me. Unfortunately, it will not allow Nik software plugins to be installed. There is no "plugins folder" included. In every other way the "Elements 10 Editor only" version is wonderful. Loads fast, runs clean and fast and is just a wonderful product, and something I've been hoping would come along for years. I can't believe Adobe didn't allow for the use of plug-ins. Looks like I just wasted $80.
Any suggestions or work-arounds to allow plug ins to be used?

Thank you, Barbara! I spent considerable time today on the phone with Nik Software. Both Viveza and Color Efex will work on the full version of Elements 10. NOT on the version "Elements 10 EDITOR ONLY". The reason is because Adobe did not include a plug in folder when they released Elements 10 EDITOR ONLY. Thanks, Barbara for the screen shot..however, the Editor only version has no folders at all!!! It's really strange. Why would Adobe release an Editor Only version of Elements that doesn't work with plug ins? I allowed Nik Software techs remote access to my Mac, and while version 9 has the same folder breakdown you provided, this Editor Only version of 10 has nothing except the application icon! You have been wonderfully helpful as usual, Barbara, thank you very much. It looks, though that I just wasted $80. Oh well, back to PSE9 !
Here's an update....using your method..I was able to find a folder for plug-ins within the program file. Used it to try and install Viveza and Color Efex, but Adobe says it "does not accept that type of file".

Connecting kurzweil sp88 to GB I want to connect my Kurzweil sp88 to GB. The Kurzweil has a baffling array of buttons and possible MIDI channels. It also has the old style MIDI plug ins. I've got the MIDI out connected to my MacBook Pro via USB adapter.

I have my Kurzweil connected to my MacBook Pro via an adapter (old style MIDI from Kurzweil to USB adapter connecting to Mac). The Kurzweil has a baffling array of buttons and possible MIDI channels. Can anyone please tell me which of the channels I should use? Also, should I leave the MIDI In cable out of the Kurzweil? Thanks for as detailed an answer as possible. If you like you can respond directly to me at [email protected]

First of all I do not own this keyboard. But a quick look at the manual (found on the internet) says that when first powered up the SP88 is in Internal Sounds mode. Meaning you hear the sounds selected when playing the keyboard. It also stated that the default Midi Transmit Channel is Midi Channel #1.
Looks like you would need to go to the SP88 Keyboard's MIDI SETUP and simply select LOCAL OFF. Now the keyboard should be ready to transmit Midi Out only and no internal sounds should be heard.
Next you may or may not need to do this but you might need to go into the Utilities Folder found in your Applications Folder on your Mac and double click AUDIO MIDI SETUP the keyboard Icon. Figure #1 below.
Next you need to make a physical connection from the Midi Out of the SP88 to the Midi In on your Midi Interface. Figure #3 below. You may need to Click on Add Device first. Figure #2 below.
In the examples shown below I have a Yamaha Electronic Drum Kit that is Midi Out only... not USB out. I had to plug a Midi cable from the Midi Out Port on the back of my Drum Module to the Midi In Port on the back of my Motu 828 Audio Inferface which is connected to my Mac. Next I created the Audio Interface and Drum Module "Devices" as mentioned above.
I then double clicked on the Drum Module and made my Midi Out Selections. Figure #4 Below. And once it was setup and the icons closed I used my mouse to draw a virtual cable connection from the Drum Module Out to the Audio Interface In. Figure #3 below. This is how I got my Midi Devices to talk to one another.
Once you have made your setup as I have outlined create a MIDI Instrument Track in Garageband, select an instrument for example a Piano then Record Enable that track in Garageband and see if you now hear what you are playing. In this example the SP88 is a Midi Controller only and you will only hear sounds selected in Garageband which is what you want.
Keep in midi your setup may be different than mine. You can keep your SP88 Keyboard on the default Midi Channel #1. That would be a good place to start. Garageband receives Midi on all channels.

Using old power point plug with new computer

I have just bought a Macbook in new york and forgot to get an adapter from a USA(2 straight prongs) to UK (3 chunky prongs)power point. Can I slide off the powerpoint plug from the adapter on my 5 yr old ipod and put it onto the adapter for the new computer.?

If you are going to stay in Europe a while, you can also buy a plug with the right prongs at the Apple store. It fits right into the brick and becomes part of it like your US one does, and you can change them back and forth. They're a little pricey - I paid 35 Euros for a Central European plug - but to me it's better than the adapter because it sparks less and looks much better.

How do I use Ultrabeat and other plug-ins

I have a triton LE, MOTU 828, and an M-Audio MIDISPORT 2x2. I just recently got Logic pro running but I can't seem to be able to record the loops that I create with Ultrabeat. How do I record them??? Do I need to bus or send them? If so, how do I do that?

How do I record them??? Do
I need to bus or send them? If so, how do I do that?
Solo the track you want to record (ultrabeat). go to File> Bounce...set start and end position of the loop and then bounce it. Then you have a loop you can import back into Logic or where ever you want to use it. Hope this helps....

A reason to keep PSE 3, old filters and plug ins

One of my absolute favourite filter sets is KPT Collection by Corel.
When getting my new Mac, I realized that KPT was no longer supported by Corel, I had to call them when I couldnt install it into PSE. They said that it was being discontinued. And it would not work with the new Max OS Leopard.
So I went back to my older Mac with Tiger, and tried the disc, no dice. So I found a really old version of PSE 2 on a Mac with OS 9, and dragged the KPT program out of it and into PSE 3 with the Tiger OS. It WORKED! And now I have KPT Collection working fine.
Why would they ever discontinue such a fun program as KPT, I will never know.
Anyway, if you love KPT as much as I do and can still get version PSE 3, go for it.

Use of 3rd party plug ins

Is there a tutorial on this? I have Ivory II in my AU library, but cannot figure out how to load it into a Main Stage Concert. The MS manual is of no help (at all) on this issue. Has anyone accomplished this and if so, would you mind sharing how you did it?

AudioUnits are added like any other instrument or effect: click on the instrument (or effect) slot in the channel strip to create an instance of the plugin. And it in the MainStage manual

CS5 & 3rd Party plug ins

I have PS/CS5 (standard version, not extended) and I have not upgraded to Lion as of yet. I have OnOne, Topaz and Nik plug ins that I use every so often. Has anyone used PS/CS5 with the various plug ins with Lion? And if so did you have any trouble? Our local Apple resale store said to wait to see if the companies who make the plug ins have an upgrade before I upgrade to Lion.
Thought I would see what experiences anyone has had.
Thanks, Sue

They sort of say DON'T USE OLD 3rd party PLUG INS!
"As with all previous versions of Photoshop, don't copy old third-party plug-ins, or plug-ins from previous versions of Photoshop, into the Photoshop CS5 plug-ins folder. If you have set the Additional Plug-Ins Folder in the Plug-Ins preferences to a folder, deselect this option."
Well where the heck are they supposed to go then? :-/ Their installers put them in the Plug-Ins folder...
I found for the couple I really wanted to import, and tried, once in 32 bit mode on startup (Switch this under "Get Info" for those reading along) - they worked just fine. Yes, 64 bit would probably be better, but I suspect that in many cases 64 bit "upgrades" aren't free - even though the features are no different.
For now, for my needs, this works and has been solved - thanks!

Importing 3rd party plug-ins into CS5

Coming from CS3, I've tried drag and drop but no joy.
How do I get my plug-ins/filters moved over - or do I have to continue to use CS3 if I want to use them???
It's been some time and I'm not sure I even have the original installers or not - it would take some real hunting around to find them if I did. Some don't matter if I lose them, while many are used often. There *should* be a simple drag and drop, migrate or import function for this - where is it?

Loading Interruptions after Using Plug-Ins

Hello! I'm using LR3 (still) with plug-ins for PS and Nik Dfine. Whenever I use either plug-in and return to LR, a "loading" update occurs about every 15 seconds for about a second. This is especially annoying during Brush operations. It not only interrupts what you're doing, but if caught in the middle of a Brush stroke, that stroke is gone when "loading" ends; and if you were in Erase, the brush gets reset to Brush A/B.
My system configuration:
i5 2500K (not overclocked), 2.3 Ghz
8 MB RAM
Windows 7 64-bit LR3, CS4, Dfine also 64-bit
All programs on SATA drive C (Samsung Spinpoint)
Photo files on SATA drive F (Samsung Spinpoint)
LR cache and catalog on 64 GB SSD drive G
Cache 32 GB
Drive space 75% free
This seems to be the one issue my upgrade to a home-built hasn't solved. Having just emptied my cache, I just performed a Dfine noise-reduction on a fresh raw file (Canon 7D), then opened up Brush in LR. That alone was enough to see the issue.
Is there anything that can be done to improve performance with plug-ins?
Thanks kindly, Chris

Chris,
This is a bug in LR3 and 4.
It got squashed in LR5. Upgrade to 5, I just tested it to make sure.
Thank you to the Lghtroom team.

How to get image properties in PDF using javascript or plug ins

Hi
How to get the image(all the images) properties in PDF using javascript or suggest plug ins
Thanks in Advance

HI,
In the PDF Edit API's ( as has already been suggested) there is the PDEImage and using this you should be able to find out everything you need to know about any image in a PDF file.
I would recommend starting with PDEImageGetAttrs
Hope this helps

Using CFX Plug-ins: Requires Rosetta to be turned on?

Hello
I very much enjoy using the CFX free plug-ins that allow one to black out the edges of imported VHS video, where the static or not well aligned heads on older video, often occurs.
Since the plugins are not Intel ready yet, the CFX states that you must force your iMovie app to be able to use Rosetta.
One thing they do not address and I need help on, does this make everything I do in iMovie now become slower because of using Rosetta all the time? Or does it slip into Rosetta only to implement the plug in?
TIA
d
Here is what the workaround is:
This is a small tutorial on how to enable the option of "Open Using Rosetta" for iLife '06 applications. Here's how you do it. For this example, we will be using iMovie:
1. Right-click on the iMovie application.
2. Click "Show Package Contents"
3. A Finder window should show up entitled "iMovie HD", and there should be a folder called Contents.
4. Open Contents, and double click "Info.plist"
5. Scroll down a ways to the bottom, and look for:
<key>LSRequiresNativeExecution</key>
<true/>
6. Change <true/> to <false/>, or just delete it.
7. Save the file.
8. Then, open "Disk Utility" and repair disk permissions.
9. After permissions are repaired, go to /System/Library/ and delete Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext.
10. Simply reboot, and...
...Voila! The "Open Using Rosetta" option should now be under there in "Get Info". This works for all of the other iLife '06 applications.
EDIT: If deleting Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext doesn't do anything, try moving the application from one directory to another. Also, what will definitely do it, is duplicating the file, however that may take a while depeneding on the speed of your computer and the side of the file.

It is disappointing indeed, and perhaps a bit more explanation is required:
"Rosetta Mode" means that your Intel-based Mac is executing PowerPC-code instead of native Intel code. This requires that the processor has to look up every single instruction, translate it, and only then can execute it. This leads to significant performance loss. The mere fact that Apple has managed to get even somewhat (perhaps borderline) acceptable performance out of Rosetta is a testament to the ability of their engineers.
Our (cf/x) plug-ins currently are PPC-based only. Because of the nature of plug-ins (they are code that is literally plugged into the running code of the hosting application), a plug-in must always be written for the same processor as the host. iMovie can't simply cick into Rosetta and pop out of it randomly. Therefore you must run iMovie in Rosetta to run PPC-based plug-ins, or run it natively, but with non-native plug-ins disabled.
Which leaves the question why we don't have native plug-ins. The answer is that we dont have them yet as there were significant compiler issues. 'Were', as in 'past tense'. A few weeks ago we had a breakthrough, and are now busily upgrading and porting the PPC code to Universal. Progress is slow, as we need not only to bring the code to Universal, but also have to integrate and test lots of new technology. On two architectures simultaneously. But we are quite sure we'll get there eventually. As always, though, I recommend you do not base any decisions on what I or other people assert, but simply wait and see what gets delivered.
Cheers,
-ch
Please Note:
I work for cf/x, may profit from posting here, and took the liberty of shamelessly tooting our horn here.
