Where did color go on paths in CS4?

This under Mac OS X Leopard, 10.5.5.
I was
really hoping that Adobe would bring back color to the precise cursors in CS4. Makes it much easier when you're doing a lot of paths to both keep track of the cursor and place it more accurately for your next anchor point. The varying gray colors can literally disappear depending on what pixel values they're over.
What happens instead? Color is
removed from the anchor points and segments! Now it's difficult to see both the cursor
and your path against the image. Why on Earth did Adobe do this?
Please, PLEASE, bring back color to these functions!!!

Okay, that's what I get for griping before trying a few more things (just installed the CS4 Creative Suite yesterday). The above information is only partially correct.
You do get color on path segments and anchor points, but they very between highly contrasted to almost invisible. Over white or yellow, they change to black. No problem there. Over a rich red, they turn kind of a salmon color. Not bad. But over a rich cyan or green, the colors are only a shade or two darker or lighter, depending on the color of the underlying pixels, making it difficult to see the path.
Second, you
can make PS CS4 display paths in the old color contrasting scheme, but you must turn off Open GL Drawing in the preferences to do so. Which of course makes some things, like the Rotate View Tool inaccessible.
The cursor, no matter what settings you choose, still remains only black, white, or shades of gray. Ick!

  • CS4 upgrade to CS6 Where did my plug ins go?

    CS4 upgrade to CS6: where did my plug ins go?

    where did my plug ins go?
    Nowhere. They are still happily in your (former) PS CS4 plug-in directory. There is no such thing as automatic migration. You need to obtain the proper CS6 versions from the vndors (possibly at extra cost) and install those.

  • X-rite color Checker Folder Path

    I am a photo assistant based in Montreal I'm having issue with X-rite profile location in computer folder...
    We did create a custom profile with color checker passport during a shoot, re-starded Lightroom then used the custom profile. From there, everything work fine!
    My Problem is that after several shoot we have so many profiles in the list (in Lightroom) so we want to delete some manually in the laptop folder. I have been searching over forum during the past 2 days...every forum say that the good path to see them is:
    Library/Applications Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/
    But, iI can't see them in this folder...
    My question is: Where did they go and how can I delete/manage these? cause right now we have too much profile in Lightroom profile listing.
    We using a Macbook pro laptop (2014) with a 5d mark III
    Thanks in advance, Pascal

    Non-Adobe profiles reside under your Users folder.  See the following page:

    where did the files go?  They aren't on the root of the C: drive, a folder/files were not created on my desktop, no files or folder created in my downloads folder.

    really?
    hope this helps someone. 

    There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
    Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
    HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

  • Where did the Secure Site Icon go ?

    I know the status bar was removed and an and on bar replaces it but
    Where did the Secure Site Icon go ? Will not use FF without it !
    I cant find anything about it. ( FF 40b7 ) How do I get it back ?
    Not so little things like this will hurt FF. And YES I understand this is beta but come on guys/gals this is IMPORTANT !
    I probably just missed something stupid but I could use some help please.

    Every financial institution (bank, credit union,...), every news outlet (print/TV/Radio/blog) reaches out to millions of elderdly folks and other non-geeks and tells them to run away as soon as they dont see a Key or Lock on a secured page (or maybe so-called secured page from what I get you are trying to push through).
    This is a major Change Management disaster waiting to happen... Not just for Firefox but for every web site using secure transactions. Countless organisations are going to get calls from users telling them, "Your site is not secured, Oprah and CNN told me so".
    Go for color scheme or other visual indicator to warn of security level, but absolutely dont lose the icon !

  • CS3 + ID CS4 - Color management Iussues in Bridge CS4

    I have CS3 WEB PREMIUM edition and recently added InDesign CS4. While trying to get the color management right for all Suite applications I get an error in Bridge CS4.
    "Suite Color Management is not enabled. Suite Color Management requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
    So, I DO have a Creative Suite, only different Versions of its applications. Where is the problem, and if Bridge CS4 keeps on thinking I have no Suite at all, am I supposed to reinstall Bridge CS3?

    Pascal.
    I see you are a new Mac user. In case you're not aware...
    On the Mac, new installations of Adobe (and much other) software do not overwrite and/or replace older versions when doing full version upgrades. Older and current software versions coexist and you can still use either -- particularly useful when learning a new version, but you still need to get work done now. Or if there is a favorite feature that was not included in the new version (such as no ImageReady included with Photoshop).
    Be aware, though, double-clicking on a file will launch the latest version unless the older version was previously launched.
    For those apps or (more likely) utilities that do overwrite or remove older versions, you're given a heads-up before you commit to an install.

  • I BOUGHT & downloaded MPEG 2 QT component, where did it go?

    I bought & downloaded MPEG2 QT component in order to use for editing video from a DVD with home movies that had been converted from tapes. When I put on computer it was .cdr which could not be used in iMovie. I need to convert to one that will work. I also got MPEG Streamclip, both on advice from a forum discussion. My question is, where did it go on my computer? I have searched with Spotlight & it wasn't found.

    If your response was meant for me...
    I looked into Macintosh>system>library>QuickTime & found 17 items.
    Apple GVAHW.component
    Apple Pixlet video.comp
    Apple ProRes Decoder.comp
    Apple VAH 264 HW.comp
    Quartz Composer.resources
    QuickTime 3GPP.comp
    QT Components.comp
    QT Fire Wire DV.comp
    QT IIDC Digitizer.comp
    QT H264.comp
    QT Importers.comp
    QT MPEG.comp
    QT MPEG2.comp
    QT MPEG4.comp
    QT Streaming.comp
    QT USB VDC Digitizer.comp
    QT VR.comp
    If "QT MPEG2.comp" refers to this component:
    Then it would appear that you indeed have the correct component installed in the proper location.
    I then brought up MPEG Streamclip beta & put my DVD in drive. I found Video_TS folder & dragged the .VOB files into Streamclip & when finished, I used FILE/Export using QT to convert files to Apple Intermediate Codec Component (which I saw in Library/QuickTime & also Apple MPEG2 codec.component). I chose to rename file clip & saved it. I opened iMovie & tried to import the file I just saved but they were gray, not black & would not import.
    Made a quickie clip of what I do in MPEG Streamclip. Basically, this includes:
    1) Dropping one or more non-zero VOB file for a single or multiple titles to the main MPEG Streamclip window.
    2) Fix timecode breaks and set in/out points if needed.
    3) Select desired export settings (in this case AIC video at 80% quality with uncompressed audio using default settings).
    4) Set name and path for target output file.
    When the conversion is finished, I test playback in the QT 7 player and add the file to iMovie if needed. Here is a 4 minute video I made minutes ago demonstrating my work flow. If you can't do this, then there is either problem with your computer, its software configuration, or Lion OS 10.7.4 has broken the normal work flow and this is yet another issue with the latest update to be reported to Apple.

  • Where is color sync located (not color utility) which is required to download icc profiles? Dolores

    Where is color sync located (not color utility)?  I am downloading an icc profile from Ilford paper and the instructions say to first download into downloads, then move to Library.  This I did.  But I cannot find Color Sync to move the profile into.  When I did the "search" the list that turned up was not applicable. After that it needs to go to Profiles inorder that Lightroom 4 paper profiles list can receive it and be able to print according to the profile.  How will I find Profiles?Thanks, Dolores  P.S. I have successfully downloaded profiles before, but this time I am stumped.

    Where ICC profiles live on different operating systems
    Windows 7, Vista and XP:
    \Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
    Win98/Me - Windows/System/Color
    WinNT - WinNT/System32/Color
    Win2K- WinNT/System32/Spool/Drivers/Color
    WinXP - Windows/System32/Spool/Drivers/Color
    On a mac, it's Library/ColorSync/Profiles either in the root or user
    Epson places their profiles inside a package (a self- contained group of files) found in Main LibraryÆPrintersÆEpsonÆ SP2200.plugin*ÆContentsÆResourcesÆICC Profiles.

    I get the following error.
    "The method open() is undefined for the type Sleak"
    Where did Sleak.open() go?
    I did a google search and a forums seach but only found another Eclipse forum thread where the same question is not answered.
    Is there another tool that replaces Sleak in e4AP?
    Does this rise to the level of a bug?
    Should I report it?
    What project owns it if I were to report it as a bug? "Platform"?
    There is no "SWT Development Tools" project in eclipse's Bugzilla.

    Forgot to check if the bug was already entered. It was already in Bugzilla. After reading the comments on the bug report I realized how to get it working. Created this FAQ to help others.

  • Where did the .jpeg option go when saving?

    I used to be able to save a .cr2 file that I had edited in the .jpeg format.  For some reason that is no longer offered as an option in the drop down menu  when I use 'save as'.  Where did the .jpeg option go?

    It's not there because the CR2 image is using 16-bit color.
    Either:
    Change the bit depth in Camera RAW to 8-bit before opening it in the Editor.
    In the Editor, use Image...Mode...8 bits/channel.

  • Where did my wedding photos go? Vanished when I split even - HELP!

    I split an event in order to have enough room to burn photos on a CD ....when I went back to the split event of the photos I did not copy, the photo's were gone! The thumbnails were missing and the photos were missing. I see a gray square were the thumbnails should be and when I enlarge I see a black and white !.
    I rebuilt the photo library several times and also rebuilt it through iphoto library manager....the photo's still have not appeared.
    Where did they go?

    How did you split the Event? Did you do it using iPhoto for from the Finder? If the latter then that's why you're getting the "!", a sign that iPhoto has lost the file path to the original files.
    You may have to result to the following:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    Then with some manipulating you might be able to get the original library back.
    1 - open the original library and delete all of the "problem" photos by dragging them to iPhoto's trash and emptying it. Keep it to batches of 100 or less.
    2 - open the new library, locate the "missing" photos and export to folders on the Desktop.
    3 - open the original library and import the folders with the "missing" photos. '
    Hopefully this will keep your organization for the library, keywords, etc. and recover those missing photos.

  • Where did the "Highlight Existing Fields" button go (Acrobat DC)?

    Where did the "Highlight Existing Fields" button go (Acrobat DC)?

    Adobe removed the forms message bar, which is where the field highlighting toggle button was. It turns out that the following user preference works as a toggle as well despite the confusing description:
    Edit > Preferences > Forms > Highlight Color > Show border hover color for fields
    You can also toggle it with the following JavaScript:
    app.runtimeHighlight = !app.runtimeHighlight;
    You can add this to a custom menu item or toolbar button to provide an easier means to toggle it.
