What influence does "SwitchBoard" have on Photoshop CS5?

It's showing as not responding in Activity Monitor:

Hi,
SwitchBoard 2.0 is a server process that facilitates communication between Bridge CS5 and the MiniBridge panel in Photoshop CS5 or InDesign CS5. The (Not Responding) indication in Activity Monitor happens because the server process is dormant until a SwitchBoard client (MiniBridge (Ps/ID), or Br ) asks for something. The process will only launch when the MiniBridge panel is opened and browsed to a location, or when Bridge launches. It should also shut down/time out when all the clients have quit.
Does that answer your question?
regards,
steve
Ps. The Readme that's installed next to the Swichboard application is bogus for this version. Please ignore it.

  • I have Adobe photoshop cs5. need to update camera raw, cause my camera raw is  2010and does not read my camera,  I went out and downloaded the new one and it does not link to adobe photoshop cs5

    I have moved my Photoshop CS5 to my traveling computer,a Surface Pro 3.  I have photoshop loaded but in trying to look at raw images it says my camera raw does not support the sony alpha 65 which is what I have.  I went out and tried to download the newest raw version and even went out and did a zipfile download and it will not update my current version.  What should I do

    I have 6.0.  Tried to download newest verion and it will not download.  Went out and then downloaded a zipfile and it still will not download, thus cannot look at my raw pictures.
    Thanks, John

  • How do i purchase a volume license to get a serial no. for Windows if i have a photoshop CS5 for Mac

    How do i purchase a volume license to get a serial no. for Windows if i have a photoshop CS5 for Mac? And how much does it cost?

    Forget that nonsense talk about volume licenses. Or are you saying you need 10 Windows licenses? You simply buy a new version of PS (= new license) or do a platform swap.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

    I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

    If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
    Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
    Please do a forum search.  I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
    Bottom line:  the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions.  You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
    I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

  • What software does apple have to replace DVD Studio Pro

    what software does apple have to replace DVD Studio Pro. have a new imac 27" late 2012 and after data transfer DVD Studio Pro does not work. What can I do? Would it be advisable to go back on the OS to a older vision OS Where DVD Studio Pro was working? Help!!!

    Afraid they don't have anything to replace DVD SP. Your alternatives are Adobe Encore (which is EOL) or Toast, or IDVD (which can still be found in boxed sets of iLife).
    But getting back to DVD SP and your data transfer, what do you mean by that? What exactly did you do and what happened with the application? I'm running it on 10.7 and it works, but it's from the FCS3 suite; is yours FCS2?.

  • Does Elements have the Photoshop Exposure adjustments for Gamma, Exposure and Offset, and where?  Is Gamma missing?

    I have been a photoshop user since version 3, and am considering switching to Elements 13, as I am not a professional, but do this for home pictures.  I found that the Exposure Adjustments setting is fabulous, where I can adjust Gamma, Exposure and Offset, and the the Shadow and Highlight is also great.  Does Elements have an EXPOSURE (Gamma, Exposure and Offset) adjustment tool, or something close, and if not the same, how inferior?  Same Question for Shadow/Highlights. 

    As to saving edited items in ACR Edited formats or as a JPEG, unless I Open Image and save the file as a JPG, the edited RAW image is not a portable file, as only Photoshop or Elements will compile the edits from the embedded information. I do see that moving from RAW to Elements Normal mode, I can save the files and do other forms of editing, but I may have to give up a 16bit image for an 8 bit image to do any editing in normal Elements.
    When you are using only the 'Done' button with a jpeg without opening and saving in the editor, you have written the settings to the metadata without altering the pixel values. In my own case, That's enough for 80% of my shots. That means: non-destructive editing (the original is still available), parametric editing, the settings are saved, can be used for the next picture and take minimal disk space. You don't need to keep a version set. On the other hand, only Adobe software can read it. Those edits in ACR are calculated in 16 bits even if jpeg is only 8 bits.
    On the other hand, if you open the file in the editor, you have the choice to open the converted version in either 8 or 16 bits. Of course, if you want to save it in 16 bits, you'll save in psd or tiff.
    What do you know about Photoshop's ImageReady.  It appears to offer simpler interfaces to normal Photoshop.
    Sorry, I don't know anything abut ImageReady...
    As to Elements, it appears that many of the more sophisticated image adjustments that exist in Photoshop are there, but in an 8 bit depth, buried in their different menus.
    There are a lot of discussions about 8 or 16 bits depth in Elements. The main idea is that you can't use layers in 16 bits (except with a clunky workaround) and that you can't use local tools in 16 bits. On the other hand, nearly all global edits are available in 16 bits, including many filters and plugins. And with ACR, you can open jpegs in 16 bits... For me, even if I know that I can do nearly everything I need in 16 bits in the editor, I must say that first editing in ACR makes that unnecessary most of the time.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac-OS, can this be used on a PC?  I'm wanting to load onto a PC/laptop.

    I have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac OS, which I use on my desktop.  I've recently purchased an HP laptop, is there a way to use my licensed CS5 version of Photoshop on my new HP PC?

    No, the CS5 software is operating system-specific and even if you were willing to trade for the Windows version you could not at this point due to that only being possible for the latest. release, CS6.

  • What is error 213.8 in Photoshop CS5?

    I recently had to have my computer tower worked on.  When it came back is cannot get into Photoshop CS5.1.  It says there is a problem with licensing and lists an error code 213.8.  Can anyone tell me how to restore Photoshop?

    My guess is that the computer hard drive has been restored from an image.
    Adobe software rarely works after re-imaging a hard drive. It needs to be re-installed from scratch.
    Try
    Uninstalling CS5
    Run the Adobe Cleaner Tool
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Download CS5 from the Adobe website
    Download CS5 products
    Enter your CS5 serial number to license the software

  • Is JavaFx an installed app for desktop? And what feature does it have?

    Hi everyone,
    I am curious to a few things about this JavaFX and cant seem to find any answer anywhere???
    Does a JavaFX application actually install to your OS?
    Does JavaFX have features such as Adobe AIR in order to work with the computers file system and monitor whether or not there is an internet connect?
    Or does JavaFX only offer features that are common to all three platforms it suplies for? Such as display and simply user interface logic for games and such?
    And if not, if the developer is only creating one application, that can be displayed on three different platforms. What happens if the application preforms a desktop specfic feature, what happens when this feature is preformed on the other two devices? an error?
    Please if anyone could solve theses questions or even one of these questions, that would be brilliant!!
    Cheers for everybody help in advance

    Does a JavaFX application actually install to your OS?More or less. Running a JavaFX application (applet or desktop) makes Java to cache the runtime and the provided jar files in a directory specific to Java itself (it behaves like a regular Java application). You can see that when typing {color:#8000FF}javaws -viewer{color} on the command line.
    Does JavaFX have features [...] file system [...] internet connect?JavaFX can use Java code, so, if your application has the correct rights (Java is quite strict with security), you can do anything Java can do.
    does JavaFX only offer features that are common to all three platformsNo. There is a mobile and a common profile (seen in the API). The mobile one is more restrictive (eg. no effects like shadows or reflection) and has strong restrictions on the Java features too (limited to MIDP subset). If you want to make an application working on all platform, you are indeed restricted to the lower common denominator. Or make conditional code, checking the current profile and using advanced features only on the desktop/applet.
    If you try and use a non-supported feature, I think there is an exception that can be caught, but by JavaFX has only unchecked exceptions, so if not caught, exceptions are ignored and the feature isn't used.
