Vector Import Problem with CS5

Hi everyone,
I really need help with this problem as it's driving me round the bend! I've searched the forums for answers but even though i've seen a few people with similar issues, i still haven't found any answers?
Here's my problem.
I'm using illustrator and photoshop CS5 to create web site designs and all of a sudden (i don't remember changing any settings) whenever i copy and paste a vector image from AI to PS the image always renders jagged? The page sizes are always over 1280 x 800px so this isn't a case of small images pixelating. Both resolution settings for AI and PS are high (300 ppi) so i can't work out why this has started happening.
I've tried everything to overcome this (placing the files, importing files etc) but the result is always the same, a horrible crappy jagged edge?????
Any thoughts?
N
By the way i'm using a MB Pro running OS X 10.6.7

Trash the Photoshop preferences files.
Quit Photoshop.
Go to /Users/[your acount]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings/ and move the "Adobe Photoshop CS5 Prefs.psp file to your desktop
Relaunch Photoshop an try again.
Often unexplained isues can be the result of a corrupt preference file. If this works, you can then simply trash teh file on your desktop.
If this does not work, you might try trashing the AI prefs as well.

Template problem with cs5

I've transferred all my sites to cs5 (from cs4). I build all my sites with DW templates. When I bring up my pages from any site in DW cs4, I can edit them no problem. When I bring them up in cs5, all of a sudden I have the "no-edit" symbol (red circle crossed) when I try to type over any editable areas. Is there a setting that I am missing that I forgot to readjust when I loaded the files in cs5?
Thanks in advance
Jules

I think I'm talking to myself, here...
But just in case anyone has run into this problem with cs5...
I usually create editable regions with content alone (minus divs). It seems that cs5 won't allow this somehow. I do this so that my clients won't move the div and can highlight the text that they want to change without screwing up the placement of the divs or having to click on it several times in Contribute in order to highlight the text.
Example: (This one works)
      
   <div id="contentLeft">
        <table width="100%" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" background="images/transBack.png">
        <tr><td>
          <h1>Heading Goes Here</h1>
          <p>Lorem ipsum eum erant soleat perfecto ex, ei pro mentitum aliquando theophrastus. Quodsi lucilius adolescens nec te, alia melius dissentias id eum, eu vel atqui munere eligendi. Eu eum viris suscipit, mei iracundia persequeris necessitatibus ad, qui putent vocent comprehensam ea. Eos sumo illud fuisset ea, sit doming dolorum fierent ea. Vis rebum aperiri nonummy at, ne eam impedit persequeris accommodare.</p>
          <p>An dico veritus evertitur cum, mentitum legendos theophrastus mei ei, qui hinc timeam honestatis ad. Ut illum takimata gloriatur eam, ei nullam propriae delicata vel, has ea solum ludus.

CS4 while Adobe fix the problems with CS5 for Mac?

If anyone from Adobe is monitoring this forum, is it possible for customers who have bought PRemiere Pro CS5 to have access to a fully functional copy of Premiere Pro CS4 while we wait for fixes to two serious bugs in the Mac release of CS5?
The problems with not being able to save project files, and the wrong aspect ratio randomly being selected when importing widescreen DV footage - discussed in threads on this forum - make CS5 unusable on a Mac currently.
thanks.

You randomly get a saved Quicktime file with the wrong aspect ratio.
Ah ha...now that I can fix for you ..if you have QT Pro.
BTW: That behavoiur is typical of QT Player and is not actually random.
Method:
Open your mov in QT Pro
Show Movie Properties (Ctrl-J)
Click on Video Track
Click on Visual Settings Tab
Un check the Preserve Aspect Ratio box
(Here is where you now need to do some math to change the 4x3 to 16:9 ratio)
Divide the Vertical Pixel Dimension by 1.78 and enter the result in the Vert Dimension box
Ensure the Preserve Aspect Ratio box is UNCHECKED
Hit Tab key and notice the image in the QT window change.
In the QT Window Menu - File>Save (SAVE is an IMPORTANT STEP)
Here is an example:
QT movie Original is 320x240
Divide 240 by1.78 ( ie. 240/1.78=134)
Bingo!

Importing problems with MP4 files.

A friend of mine wanted me to make a DVD with some media files that they sent me (all with .mp4 extentions). I've just purchased CS6 Premuin Pro so I thought I'd try ENCORE to do it with (previously I've been using DVDStyler). However I had problems with importing the mp4 files they sent. Some of the files import OK, but with others I get this error:
Couldn't import file FILENAME, Quicktime and/or the appropriate codec do not appear to be installed.
Now I did have Quicktime Alternative, along with the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack installed. Did a bit of searching and found advice to remove the K-Lite pack and Quicktime Alternative, and update with Quicktime and another set of Codecs (I've installed the Windows 7 codec pack v4.06, as I'm using Win7). However, I'm still getting the same error message when I try and import some of the files. I don't know their origin or what created them as such. However, I did download a copy of MediaInfo and got the following for each type of file.

Just what is the problem here? Why will the first type of file import OK, but the second not, and what can be done about that (do I need to load an extra codec, and if so what)? The odd thing is that using a program like DVDStyler, I can load those files and actually build a DVD. And yes, I know that's an entirely different program, but it just seems odd to me that an open-source program seems to do something Encore can't (and I'd much rather use Encore to build DVDs). No doubt this is something obvious but I'm a novice with Encore and Premiere, so I'm missing it anyway.

Codec packs, even the "better" ones, do not typically provide codecs that Premiere and Encore can use.
The "problem" file is a flash format (whether it is an mp4 container or not).
"Consumer" type DVD authoring/burning applications, and even more so, all in one apps like windows movie maker etc, may be more "powerful" when you are trying to take a large range of formats and create a DVD with relatively few options. This is not Encore's strength.
Encore will reject almost anything that has flaws it isn't able to handle, but more importantly (once you get to this step), it will treat as noncompliant (and re-transcode) anything that is not DVD compliant.
My guess is that you need to get the flash into something that will work better for transcoding to DVD compliant.
I would first try to bring one of the problem files into Adobe Media Encore, and see if you can export an MPEG2-DVD file.
Not that, while there are some less known DVD resolutions, I assume you are going to end up with 720x576 PAL. I wonder what the quality will look like....
If you are just looking to get the files onto a DVD to play on a DVD player, just stick with DVDStyler.

ASCII import problem with symbol 0xFF

When I'm importing ASCII file which contain the special symbols like 0xFF it's recognized as fields separator. The impcat is incorrect structure. I need this symbol because it is cyrillic character which appears in contact names very often. How may I import contacts with correct names.

Jean,
This appears to be a bug in the way the export program runs on 9.2. It seems to be a problem only in the API call that you showed us: wwv_flow_api.create_report_columns and its p_pk_col_source=> value. This can get corrupted when you have a tabular form column that uses a Primary Key Source Type of Custom PL/SQL Function or Existing Sequence, which is a choice you make in the builder wizards or later on the report column edit page in the Tabular Form Element region.
If you can find all of these situations (using the builder) by looking at the report columns for reports related to the new 1.6 features that you mentioned, then change them all to use an existing trigger instead (create a dummy trigger T_DUMMY first), you might be able to get an uncorrupted export file. The next step, which is an unofficial workaround, is to find those API calls in the export file, looking for p_pk_col_source_type=> 'T',
p_pk_col_source=> 'T_DUMMY',Then change the 'T' to 'S' and the trigger name to the correct sequence for the column involved and that should do it. If you need to enter a PL/SQL function, change 'T' to 'F' and enter the PL/SQL code in place of the trigger name.
We're still investigating this problem, so please let us know if this helps you out in the short term.

Import problems with LR 4.4

I am suddenly having problems importing photos with Lightroom. I get an error message "Some import operations were not performed. The following files were not imported because they could not be read." Doesn't matter what camera I am using. I can open, convert and import the photos with Bridge. I have the Destination dropdown menu set to "All folders." I am using a Mac.
Can someone help?

I too am having this issue. I bring them in from the card and all is well under bridge or PS. When they come into LR I get some windows that say (library/import) say that some images can not be displayed. Then I import. It bring all the images in, even the one that it said it can't read. Then in the end it reports back that XXX number of images could not be read.
However, after clicking OK, they are in the library. When it goes to render the preview that were it all goes down in flames. Renders turn out pink, yellow, green bands as if the images are corrupt and in short the whole thing looks like your worst nightmare. In review of the image on the drive all is well.
In desperation I down loaded a trial version, loaded it in and wrote over the LR4.4 file on the drive. Launched LR. It read the SN# and we were off and running. I have had this issue on two computers.
Bug?
Best of luck,
Jeff

Major problems with CS5

We just moved to CS5 and are having major problems with crashing and losing text. I haven't seen these kind of issues since beginning the Indesign/Incopy workflow way back in CS2. I've got dozens of users (Indesign and Incopy) slamming me with complaints of crashing. Indesign crashes when exporting to Incopy (usually when exporting a layer), Incopy users are complaining of crashing when peforming copy/paste either from Word or from within Incopy. Also have had incidents where the text in the Incopy story just disappears or the stories corrupt and will not open in the layout or as a standalone file. Trying to open one will crash the application.
Other departments in our organization who do not use Incopy are not experiencing crashing issues with Indesign CS5, so I have to believe the problem is Incopy.

Try moving everything to a local harddrive and working on a file there. If you don't get the crashing then you can start checking the network. And please, one thread is enough.

Problems with CS5 Web Premium Disks Being Unreadable

I pre-ordered my CS5 Web Premium update and finally received the three disk set on May 6. Attempted to install and the first disk which was the Suite installed fine. The other two disks were unreadable. I called Adobe support and they shipped another set to me which arrived today, May 12, and the same thing happened with the same two disks - Adobe Acrobat and CS5 Content. The disks are unreadable on five of my Macs and three windows machines.
Called tech support and was bounced around from Customer Service to support in India and back to Customer Service and finally told them I just wanted a refund after about ninety minutes on the call. I do find it funny that I was passed to Tech Support to "troubleshoot" unreadable disks.
A simple solution which nobody at Adobe seemed to grasp is to allow you to download a copy even if you paid for a shipped copy. I am amazed that this is not an option. So now I will eat the shipping costs and send my box back to Adobe and wait for what will probably be months before they credit my card back for the purchase.
Anybody else having problems with the install disks?

CS5 loads fine but Acrobat is unreadable and the Content disk is unreadable. The CS5 trial download doesn't include the content or Acrobat. Acrobat is a windows only download. So the trial download only installs what comes on disk 1 which is the only good disk of the three in the shipment.
A guy I talked to in Tech Support acknowledged that they produced a bad batch of disks and it seems I got two shipments of bad disks.

SWF Problems with CS5.5

I am trying new Flash CS5.5. Has some new features that I need but having lots of trouble with posting the SWF. I created a scrolling text "panel" to insert into an HTML document. I admit I've never built that particular object HOWEVER, when I previewed it via Control > Test Movie, it worked great.
Then I exported the file via File > Export > Export Movie, double clicked it on the desktop ... also worked great. HOWEVER, when I emailed this file to a friend, the systems (both windows and Mac OS) asked user to select program the created the file. It would not open without Flash in the background.
I've used Flash CS4 and have never had a problem like this. BUT, that's not the end of it. When I went ahead and inserted the file into the HTML doc in Dreamweaver, then hit File > Preview in Browser > Safari (or Firefox), the following message popped up:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application on your computer or network:
/Users/john/Desktop/jimednorman/Scripts/expressinstall.swf
is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
fpdownload.macromedia.com
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
You must restart this application after changing your settings"
The problems are two:
1. I have no idea what to do in "settings". It is not clear at all as to what I'm supposed to change.
2. This still does not solve the problem with the swf file NOT playing unless Flash is running in the background.
Hey, I'm on my knees! Please help. I've never seen this and especially never had an issue with swf not playing on its own ... given that the "test movie" ran great.
What did I do wrong OR what have I left undone? Or do I need a spiritual advisor? (Don't answer that

Hello: I, too, am new to both the forum and Flash CS5, and am having a similar problem trying to get a Flash .swf file to play on my website. I've done all the things suggested here. I have tried "publishing" the fla , but, as dunb as this may sound, once the file has been published, I have no idea where it went. I can't find it anywhere on my system, and it's not in the site directory in Dreamweaver CS5. When I test the movie and the scene, it plays perfectly. When I double click the file, it plays perfectly. When I export the file to the Dreamweaver page (insert>media>SWF) the gray box appears on the page and when I save the page, all the files get uploaded. A "Script" directory is created under the root, with 2 files, and the .SWF file is in the root directory as well. The settings in Dreamweaver are all standard and there is nothing large or weird about the SWF itself. Essentially, it's a rotating graphic. Very basic. But when I open the web page, nothing appears. (Using Firefox). Even when I switch to IE, the page opens, but the SWF does not play. I've Googled every web site forum that addresses this issue and I can find nothing to make this work. When I "publish", I understand an .HTML file is created that should be put into the root of the server, but I have no idea what that file is or where it goes once it's created. A search for .html files on my system finds nothing more than the files I have created myself.
When I open my web site, instead of just displaying the title "Home Page", it says Home Page - Flash Player Installation - Index.html.
I just upgraded to Adobe Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver CS5 after years with Dreamweaver MX and Photoshop CS2. I've never had Flash Pro at all.
Can someone please tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong? My hair, fingernails, keyboard, ulcer, high blood pressure and dog all thank you.

Printing problems with CS5 to Xerox C320 Laser

Hi There,
I have recently upgraded from CS4 Windows to a new iMac with CS5. I was getting good prints out of the PC although when we switched to Mac CS5 I have been getting de saturated prints, no colour concistancy across progams and it is near impossible to colour callibrate.
I have double checked that I am using the correct driver for the Xerox C320 Document Centre, I have experimented with changing colour profiles. I just can't get a good colour out of any of the applications. Illustrator is the worst. The prints are coming out nothing like when they show on screen. I am really confused as all of the IT experts we have consulted with had advised us that printing on the Mac would produce a better print that the PC although this is not the case.
If anyone has any ideas of how to fix this problem it would be greately appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi There,
Thanks you for your response.
I use a Spyder 3 to callibrate my screen and I have had Syder experts in to show me how to callibrate the paper so we can set up profiles. This worked a little bit. It meant that I could see how de-saturated the print would come out. This didn't help the print quality at all.
Thank you for your advice. I will definantly look into some alternative devices.

FTP problems with CS5 - Help please

I volunteer helping charity and education organisations with their websites. One of my clients has just bought CS5 - I personally am still working on CS3 - so when I went to help them download their site first of all the set-up was quite different (why do companies fix things that aren't broken), but I got over that issue and managed to connect to the site, download and make a couple of changes. All was well!
Two days later I went back, because they were having problems and I couldn't connect to the server.... Well, when I was on the main Dreamweaver screen the computer said it was connecting and made all the right moves uploading files etc, but nothing on the website changed, so goodness knows where the files were going. When I went onto the screen showing local and remote files, on the server side there was just a message saying you can't upload unless you set up a control version and the little blue plug was just greyed out.
I don't want or need to set up a control version as it is just one person dealing with this site from one computer.
As this is the first time I have come across 'subversion' or SVN I am a little confused. I have sent an email to the hosting company to make sure it is not a problem with their server, but won't get a reply until Monday so I thought that over the week-end I would just ask all you out there....
Help!!

DW is more than capable of managing your FTP tasks on its own. Please tell us - when you connect to the remote site and then LOOK at the Remote side of the Files panel, what FOLDER names do you see? As an ancillary question, what do you have in the Root Directory field of the Remote site definition?

HDV import problems with Leopard

I recently 'upgraded' to Leopard, when I try and import HDV (From HV20) to my iMac it has become a green-tinged video. Occasionally it will have flashes of the actual colour, which lead me to believe it may be a problem with the Firewire cable I'm using. So I changed my Firewire and the same thing is happening. It worked perfectly before on Tiger. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks

Yes, upgraded to Leopard and found the same problem going from my Sony A1 to 2.4ghz iMac. iMovie digitises a green & purple solarised picture when importing in HDV, but is fine when importing DV. When I try to import in Final Cut it crashes the program outright. It's obviously a bug, I can't understand why Apple aren't on to this it must be driving everyone nuts and costing pro users a lot of money. C'mon guys, you started getting posts in November 2007 about this, you need to get a fix out pronto! This is not what we move to Apple for!!

PROBLEMS WITH CS5.5.1

Hi
I am busy with a HD project shot on a Sony EX1R HQ 1080 50I and when I try trim a clip on the time line (drag shorter or extend a few times) the machine hangs and I must restart Pr to carry on working.
980X OC to 4.0
24 gig ram 1600
600 gig 10 000 rpm OS
7 x 1tb F3 raid 0 on a Intel RS2BL080 controller
GTX 480
Win 7 64 ultimate
Black Magic Ultra studio Pro USB3
I re installed CS5.5 and all is OK but as soon as I udate to 5.5.1 I have the same problems. I also have problems with the Referance monitor set to Vect/YC Wave/RGB Parade, when I make changes using RGB curves or fast colour corrector the REF monitors do not update.
I did try an Adobe preset and have the same problems.
any suggestions?
Thanks
Darren

Actually, Darren, I frequently have the non-updating reference monitor displays with CS5.5 and a Quadro FX3800 (when editing with BM Intensity presets).
I also find that the YC waveform often displays the curves for the SMPTE bars, even though there are non in the timeline. I clear it (and the general non-updating issues) by cutting the clip and re-pasting in the same position.
Very annoying - especially when carrying out CC work.

Import problems with Canon 1Ds Mk3 raw pictures

Lightroom 2 does not recognize any raw files from my 1Ds Mk3 - says "found no files to import". It does recognize jpg, though. Lightroom acceps raw pictures from my other camera body, the Canon 1 D Mk3.
Any pictures imported from these cameras are upside down in the import preview mode but correct after import. The same goes for my Canon G10 camera as well.This upside down phenomena was not any problem with LR 1 - came with the release of LR2.
Any suggestions out there?

The problems occur only when importing directly from the cameras
Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits
I'm not trying to be a smart a**, but don't do that! When you d/l from a camera, the OS gets involved in ways that it doesn't when it's seeing merely an external drive, as it does when you use a card reader.
If you have to d/l from the camera, put them into a directory, then disconnect, then Import.
