Vector mask error after editing mask - Mac CS5

Hi There,
When I create a rounded corner vector shape then apply a gradient vector mask, the result is as expected - the gradient in the vector mask fades the object as per the mask.
If I then edit the mask (either by moving the start/end points or try to make the end point not fully transparent) the gradient stops sharply.
The result is an mask with a gradient that stops short about 30px from the end of the object - so I see the gradient stop and the mask just cuts off.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong - any suggestions would be most welcome.
Cheers
Ben

I've run into this as well and believe it is a bug. While you can't avoid it, you can repair it.
In the Layers panel, click the chainlink icon between the mask and maskee. This breaks the size relationship between the two objects.
Select the mask in the Layers panel, then either use the Scale tool or the W and H fields in the Properties panel to correct the size.
Relink the two objects by clicking in the chainlink area.

Problem returning image to LR3 after edit in PS CS5. Help!

After adjustment in LR3, I edit in PS (CS5). I finish with "save" but image does not return to LR3. I do find it in my hard drive Photo folder. Then it's a PIA to re import to LR3 for printing.
Very frustrating, Can someone help this old guy?

The copy in CS5 does not include "Edit".
Well, that might be the problem.
First, why isn't there a "EDIT" suffix? Did you change that option on purpose?
Lightroom might be importing your Tiff as a sidecar to the original. To confirm this, you can check the Metadata panel, to see what the Sidecar field contains. If it has a tiff in there - that's the problem.
Dorin, I do not seem to be able to find a "Sidecar" field within my Metadata panel. Is this something I have to set up somehow. All of the examples that I have seen of using CS5 from LR make no mention of this feature, consequently, I was unaware of it. I assume this displays somehow within the Library module? Is there something that should be turned on, or off, for this to happen. I would appreciate your expanding on your explanation. Thanks.
Regards,
WesternGuy
P.S. Bob, I am not trying to hijack your thread by any means, just trying to understand something that even I was unaware of, and hopefully we will both benefit from this.

Can't open file after editing video in CS5

I have now tried editing a video file three times in PHotoshop. Each time it has frozen during export, and when I Force Quit and try to reopen the file I get an error message that I can't open this format of document with my version. I have an Education version of CS5, so I have the Extended version of Photoshop. This is driving me crazy. Any ideas?

Found another related thread and the tip to confirm that PS was up to date. After updating the file worked.
Finding the right answer in here takes too much work (or did I miss the way to search for answers?). Lots of posts on this topic, but only one helpful answer that I found.

Sound assertion error after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.6?

Hi everyone,
I was hunting around inside of my Console logs today for something and ran across something peculiar, I've confirmed with a few other people that it is showing up on their computers as well and it seems to be only on Mac OS X 10.5.6.
The specific error is:
kernel Sound assertion "0 == mMikeyPeripheralInterruptSource" failed in "/SourceCache/AppleHDA/AppleHDA-162.1.37/AppleMikeyDriver/AppleMikeyACPI.cpp" at line 289 goto Exit
Out of curiousity, is anyone else seeing this in their Console logs after updating?

Hi,
Same behaviour here. I'm using a Macbook 13.3 fresh updated to 10.5.6. The system hangs after wakeup, returning no login window. I need rebooting to take the control. Any issues?
thanks in advance.

Outlook Contacts "invalid entryid" error after edit on iPod Touch and sync

There are a few threads about this in the iPhone discussion, but so far nothing on the iPod Touch side and I'm encountering it in both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 after testing on two different computers.
Issue:
1. Create or edit a contact on the iPod Touch
2. Sync with Outlook Contacts
3. You are no longer able to access the added or edited contact's e-mail address when composing e-mail. If you select the contact's properties from the e-mail interface, you receive an error message that an "invalid entryid was passed."
My discovery:
Deleting data from the "Display as" field in the Contact will fix the problem.
1. In the Contacts folder, open the contact with the problem.
2. Delete all data from the "Display as" field (displays with Email field).
3. Select any other field on the Contact form - "Display as" will automatically re-populate
4. Save the contact. Problem solved.
Not sure how iTunes sync is corrupting this, but thought I'd share the discovery since suggestions in the iPhone discussion involve exporting, deleting, and importing affected contacts.

Quick fix method for those who really can't be bothered with any manual methods. Below is a macro for Outlook that will, starting with the currently selected contact folder and including subfolders (mobileme groups), reset all email display names which effectively fixes the EntryID issue. There's no error checking, it's pretty raw but does the job. Hope it helps.
<STARTMACROCODE>
Option Explicit
Sub FixEntryIDs()
Call FixEntryID
End Sub
Sub FixEntryID(Optional ByVal contacts As folder)
Dim item As ContactItem
Dim subf As folder
Dim changed As Boolean
If IsMissing(contacts) Or contacts Is Nothing Then
Set contacts = ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
End If
For Each item In contacts.Items

Error after re-installing mac OS X 10.5....

So I took my Imac to the Mac store and a tech looked at it and came to the conclusion I need to un-install Mac OS X 10.5 and re-install it with a clean slate... I did and at the end of the download an error came up saying about not being able to download and restart again and try again... I did and nothing.. How do I go about un-installing it and re-installing it ? I am so confused now I really want to throw this computer out the window... !!! Any help will be gratly appreciated... Please be very specific but not rude... Thanks to all !!! I am really new at this iMac thing.... I don't want to have to pay $90.00 an hour again to have it fixed !!!

If you are going to throw it out the window please make sure it lands at my place.
I don't understand your post. You can't "download" a new installation. You have to reinstall using the restore DVD that came with your system or a retail version of 10.5. Did you reformat and reinstall or do an archive and install? You need to be very clear about what you actually did or didn't do. What prompted you to take it to the store in the first place?

Lightroom 5.5 not selecting images after editing in photoshop cs5

I recently did the 5.5 update and now after cmd E editing in photoshop after I save and close a file it is auto imported into lightroom but not selected. I am using filters but that is the only variable I could see affecting it. It used to be done automatically and only takes me a second longer but I'm editing files hundreds at a time and every second counts.

Most likely you need to change the Sort order of your images. In Library - Grid view there is a tool bar at the bottom of the grid window. If the tool bar isn't visible, hit [ T ] to activate it. Change the sort order to Filename or Capture Time. It is probably set to Added Order.

Stretched photos after editing with photoshop CS5

When I crop a photo with photoshop CS5 and then go and review it in Iphoto the picture looks like the unedited version in the "events" but when i double click on it it appears streteched. How do I fix this?
Also, when I edit a photo with CS5 (for ex: cool a picture if it is too warm) then go to look at it in iphoto it looks like the unedited version and once I click on the photo I can see the edited version.

The following is how Photoshop should be used from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Internal error after editing a correspondent letter in E-Recruiting

Hello,
Running E-Recruiting 6.0 SP10
As a recruiter whenever I try to prievew a correspondent letter I modified (note, I have no problems editing the letter) using the correspondent letter editor, I recieve an "Internal Error". Additionally, the following SLG1 error is created:
Form or text 472FCB84F86804EDE10000000A321A does not exist
Prior to editing the letter I am able to preview it using the display link just fine. E-Recruiting should allow me to edit a letter and preview it prior to sending it to a candidate, yet at present it does not.
Any idea what this could be?
Thanks, Ryan

Hello Ryan,
with release 600 SAP e-recruiting offers 2 different implementations for changing correspondences / invitations. The classical solution uses a web editor. Therefore the complete smartform is rendered and then put in a web editor. As this solution lead to some problems in the printing channel, sap developed another concept of changing. The new solution uses a text edit to change a text block you can assign to the smartform as changable area and only this can be changed ensuring the formating of the smartform is still fine.
You have to decide which of these 2 options you want to use. You either use the old or the new solution for all correspondences and invitations.
The solutions differ in the following configuration points:
- old: T77S0 RECFA INDCO is blank
- new: T77S0 RECFA INDCO is X
- old: document category for simple correspondence 1, for invitation 2
- new: document category for simple correspondence 3, for invitation 4
(category for confirmation is always 5, there is no other option no matter which concept you use)
- old: Assign changable letter sections to forms not available
- new: Assign changable letter sections to forms not available
- old: reference for SF interface simpl. corr. HRRCF_CS_APPLICANT, invitation HRRCF_CS_APPL_INVITATION
- new: reference for SF interface simpl. corr. HRRCF_CS_IT_APPLICANT, invitation HRRCF_CS_IT_APPL_INVITATION
(basically the smartform interfaces differ in the parameter THEAD which is needed for the new but not for the old correspondence change concept)
Please check if your configuration is consistend for the concept you chose for your project. If not try adjust configuration and check if the error disappears.
If the error is still existing please give another reply.
Best Regards

Unexpected error after editing navigation

Hi,
Can you provide more details about your requirement? I’m not clear about the issue you come across.
From my experience, I would access the term store ,check if the hashtags and keywords term sets were empty,
and then I would check if the field "HashTags" was exist in your code.

Vector Mask Path doesn't show for CS6?

When using pen or path related tools, I can still see the the path for the vector mask. But when clicking on the brush tool or any other tool not related to paths, the path for the vector mask disappears. The vector mask is also highlighted in the layers. There's no x mark or anything in vector mask. CS5 didn't have this problem. Is this CS6 function or not?
CS6:
Using Pen or Path related tools
When clicking on Brush tool or others, paths disappear
CS5:
No problem with CS5

Good day!
CS5 didn't have this problem.
This is just the way things are in CS6.
Feel free to look for an existing Feature Request on this over at

or post one if there is none to add your support to yet.

After updating my Flash Player, the Auto Vector Mask window is now blank.

After updating my Flash Player, the Auto Vector Mask window is now just a blank window.

You can replace the "Auto Vector Mask" SWF file present at the "Fireworks installation folder/Configuration/Commands/Creative/Auto Vector Mask.swf ".
If this doesn't work, then one of the reasons that it could be happening is if Firebug or Flash Firebug is installed.
If you have either of those, can you uninstall them and relaunch Fireworks.
Let me know if it works.

Inactive Vector Mask - CS5

I created a vector mask, selected the area I wanted to work with, previewed it as I was refining my shape. It was all fine. However, I am not sure what I did that now both the inside and outside of the shape are greyed out and I can no longer see my vector mask as I orignally saw it. I am not sure if there is something I can do to have my vector mask again. Thanks in advance.

See if the overlap mode (path operation) has changed or you combined paths that weren't combined before.
Select the Path Selection Tool and in the tool options bar you'll see 4 overlap modes.
(the paths(s) need to be selected for the buttons to be active)
