Why are my saved files now xmp?

I'm using elements 10. I've been uploading to picasa, editing in elements, saving a psd file to picasa, then exporting to a folder as a jpeg. As of last night, my saved files are now xmp??? and are useless to me. I don't know what happened??? Please help me. Thank you so much!

PSE does not save your images as .xmp. Your images shoud still be there, in their original format.
These .xmp files are placed there for other reasons, usually when you edit RAW files in PSE/ACR.

Why Are Many iPhoto Files Now Thumbnails?

Greetings All: I've searched the forums for answers to my question, and there is a partially useful solution which dates back to 2006 about shrinking photos in iPhoto. All one needed to do to get around this problem was to go to ~Library/Pictures and make sure that iPhoto Data wasn't the selected folder for iPhoto. The solution was to select iPhoto Library as the source for iPhoto.
Now, things are a bit more complex. I cannot find a Pictures folder in ~Libary directory. It's now moved to ~Pictures. I have only one iPhoto libary file and it's called "Rebuilt Library". When I'm in Events mode and browsing iPhoto, I can get the app to show me the individual files, but I don't know where to find them. Often there are six copies of any given file with (EDIT) appended to one of the copies. As I click on each one, it's apparent that they are all tumbnails. Some of the photos are orignial size, but many aren't.
I wonder if I am doing something wrong, selecting an improper libary, or if I can kiss 800 or so of my Africa photos "goodbye"?
Thanks in Advance.

LN:
I use iPhoto '11 v9.3. I own a MBP i7 dual core running OS 10.4.7. How did I get to the individual photo files? By selecting an indivdual photo, going to the "Edit" menu on iPhoto, and dropping down to the "Reveal in Finder" command. I saw folders marked by date full of individual photo files. I clicked on several of them which seemed to be duplicates named in series; for example:
IMO2345.JPG
IMO2345.1.JPG...
IMO2345.6.JPG
All seven photos were identical and all were of thumbnail size.
Also present were photo files marked with (EDIT) such as
HOLIDAY2005.JPG
HOLIDAY2005(EDIT).JPG
Again, both photos identical and both in thumbnail size.
I opened these photos with Lemke's GraphicConverter. You say this is an SQL database and cannot be interpreted by any other application but iPhoto. (I had to look up the definition of SQL.) From my non-tech point of view, I was struck by the fact that there was so much duplication, so many (EDIT) files, and all in thumbnail size which is how they appear in iPhoto. I didn't delete or rearrange any of the files. I won't monkey around with that database again.
There are two iPhoto libraries in my ~Pictures folder. One is iPhoto Library which is blank. The other is Rebuilt Library which contains all the data; it was created at the suggestion of the iPhoto application I was running in about 2006-2007. I don't recall exactly how I accomplished this.
There are still some photos which are at normal size. I recall going through the approximately 4,500 photos in my iPhoto collection (there have to be copies in here) and taking out thumbnail duplicate photos. I took a photo journey to Africa a few years ago, and some of those photos seem to be thumbnail now, which makes me panic; however most of the other photos I have in iPhoto are thumbnail size now. I don't know how to proceed from here. At the time I did it, looking at the individual photos in the folders seemed like a reasonable thing to do. I'm a doctor, and I felt like doing some exploratory surgery. But I won't do that again.

Why are Preview saved file sizes so HUGE?

We have a neat copier at work that will scan in a document and email the pdf to you. So I have a 100 page document that I scanned in 4 chunks that yielded 4 pdf files of about 2.5MB each. I opened the first in Preview and then dragged the remaining 3 files in to create my final 100 page document. When I did the Save command I was shocked to see the resultant file size came in at 27MB! I searched around the menus and tried a Save As and selected the option for just black and white. The file that was created when that command finished ended up being 67MB.
Anybody know how I can just get the originally expected 10MB file size? Many thanks in advance.

I just tried the Combine PDFs program and it also yielded a 27MB file size when the sum of all the input files was only 10MB. So now I'm really confused. If I had to take a guess, I'd say the pdf format supports some kind of compression and both Preview and Combine PDFs can read in compressed pdfs but can't write them. I still need to get down to the 10MB size (because I can't email the file 27MB size I ended up with) so I'm still looking for help.

Why are ACR PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD?

Why are ACR > PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD? I posted this many years ago and never found an answer. Now that my drives fill up quicker, I thought I might chase this question a little bit further.
Same .CR2 saved within ACR either with cmd-R or open ACR within PSD, the saved file is 34.5mb. Resave that same file (no edits) within PSD either with or without Max-compatible and the file is now 30.7mb. Another file that is 24.5 becomes 19.5MB.
Why the difference? Is ACR and PSD actually using different compression strategies?
thanks.
Mac 10.8.5 / CC / ACR 8.4.1 - but this has been a consistent behavior over many years and versions, CS6 / CC.
Same .CR2 saved within ACR either with cmd-R or open ACR within PSD, the saved file is 34.5mb. Resave that same file (no edits) within PSD either with or without Max-compatible and the file is now 30.7mb. Another file that is 24.5 becomes 19.5MB.

Hi Jeff
If it is RLE it's not as efficient as LZW:
Saved ACR>PSD = 40.1MB (sample image this AM)
opened in PS and resaved as PSD = 30.8MB
resaved as TIF without LZW = 40.1MB (this adds to your thought that the ACR>PSD doesn't us any compression)
resaved as TIF/LZW = 9.6MB

??? I hope that the Adobe engineers are fussing over 10-20% efficiencies.
I'm within arms reach to a rack of 40TB of drives (doesn't include off-site drives), and all 2TB drives are being recycled to 4TB drives, as a result the rack is always growing. Actually the ACR>PSD files don't really make a difference in our long term storage, only for the nightly backups. But anyway, how you save, what you save etc. should all be part of the discussion.
.... so in my case, throw in an excess MB here and there and all of a sudden you are talking TB's. Plus advantages in backup times, drive life, and energy use.
Somebody added compression into the PS>PSD format, but it wasn't included in the ACR>PSD format, was it a decision or an oversight? If it's just a matter of making ACR compatible with PS when saving the same PSD format..... then why not?

Safari, "Private Browsing" - why are cookies saved?

I normally use Private Browsing out of habit on all my computers using Safari but I do have a few questions on it -
Why are cookies saved even when "private browsing"? go to one genealogy site that requires membership and the cookies from that site are always present in my cache. Are pages also being saved in the page cache as well?
What is so "private" if info can be assembled?

For the Receipts app I chose to export the info as a PDF file..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send. For the Business Card app I chose Send, not Print..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send. I haven't received anything, not even in my spam folder.

Why are some CA's now issuing SHA2 root certs?

If the signatures in root certs are not used for anything and have no security value since it requires no verification since it already lives in the trust store then why are some CA's now giving the option to sign a root with SHA2?

I figured it had something to do with the SHA1 deprecation policy but I was under the impression that root certs were exempt from the policy. See the link below :

See Amerks response to Ramo's question:
"The SHA1 deprecation policy does not impact SHA1 root certificates, because Windows relies on other means to validate root certificates besides the signature. But all root CAs are expected to switch to use SHA2 to sign any subordinate CA certificates,
CRLs, etc"
While root certs themselves are exempt from this policy, that doesn't mean
that it isn't a good practice from a security perspective to start using
SHA2 for root certs. Since there is a valid reason that SHA1 is being
deprecated it simply makes sense, where possible, to move to SHA2, even if
there is no technological requirement to do so.
Another example of this is that currently, the SHA1 deprecation policy only
applies to certs that chain to a root that participates in Microsoft's
Trusted Root program, however, a lot of my customers are being proactive
and switching their internal PKIs over to SHA2 as well.
Thanks Paul - I suppose I'm just looking for a reason from a vulnerability perspective on why roots need to be signed with SHA2. If they already live in the trusted root store they are trusted by their identity not by the hash function making it irrelevant.
From an attackers perspective, if they had access to the host systems trust store, there's no need to try to forge a root cert in the store they could just replace it with one of their own for the same effect. Although I'm still unclear on what they
could accomplish by doing this.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear. I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions. I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over. The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox. It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed. I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest. Getting very frustrated. They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments. I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

So is it actually installed, or is it not? If not, download and run the offline installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
If it still does not work correctly, check
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

Why are my Jpg files so small after being saved from Nef

Hi,
I am finally posting after months of trying to figure out why my images are saving so small, some 4mb after converting from Nef to Jpg.
I am shooting with a Nikon D4s and came from a D800. I was spoilt with really large file sizes and now I am freaking out because my jpegs are so small.
I am checking all the right boxes as far as I can see to save the jpg as large as I can, and I am not cropping the images before saving as Jpg.
Has anyone else had this problem? I can't understand why a camera as amazing as the D4s is giving me such small files. I have read everywhere that my files need to be over 6mb to be classed as high res.
The only thing that I can think of is maybe I am pushing my nefs too hard in camera raw/lightroom resulting in a loss of quality? Although my exposure is correct 90% of the time so Im only playing with highlights or luminance.
Can anyone walk me through the process of what I should be doing so I can end this headache!
Thanks in advance!

Images are 16pm (4928x3280px as you say), and the doc is 48mb.
So here's where I really show myself up... am I right in assuming that the more adobe compresses an image the lower the mb is on the final file, meaning if there is less detail (i.e. the low-key image is predominately black) then the jpeg will be smaller. Does this affect the print quality?
4mb seems very low res to me. How can I retain as much of the information as possible? Do you think I should sharpen more to retain detail? Or does it even matter and I'm fretting over nothing!
Okay. The file dimensions are fine, so we're talking purely about content and compression.
As I already said, the low-key image contains very little data in the first place (lots of black and no colour), so it compresses well. The dreamy woman image contains a lot of plain blue sky and out-of-focus background, so that compresses well too. No surprises there.
Have you got any more detailed images with greater depth of field? Try creating a JPEG of that and see how big the file is.
An Adobe JPEG Quality setting of 12 means minimum compression and therefore maximum file size. But, even so, if you saved an image which was just a single plain colour, you would find that the resulting JPEG would be just a few kB. This is how compression works.
The lower the quality number is set, the higher the compression, the more detail is lost, and the more JPEG artefacts are created in the image. You are already saving at 12 quality, which is the highest setting, so you are minimising any problems with detail. You should save as TIFF if you want absolutely no loss of detail, but the file sizes are much bigger.
4MB is not a resolution. Think of it as packing a suitcase. If you're taking lots of books, you won't get the lid down. If you're taking lots of soft woollen sweaters, you can take lots. 4MB is an indication of the space that your packed image takes—if it's made of light fluffy stuff then it will be a smaller suitcase! :-)
You should sharpen your images the same as any other. Large areas of plain or out-of-focus background need not be sharpened. You're okay. Stop worrying!

Why are the PDF files in v27 bigger than in v25?

I have just created a v27 version of my single iOS app, which has been v25 before. Now the app has a size of about 550 MB instead of about 430 MB. I found out that the PDF files of the slideshows are bigger than before. What is the reason for this change and is there a way to get smaller file sizes again?
Kind regards
Michael
No idea? At least someone of the staff should know why the DPS creates larger files now.
There is another issue which indicates that Adobe doesn't care about file sizes. In slideshows the DPS always uses PNG files (if you don't choose PDF files, which are larger now, as I have told you). Of course it is because of transparency, but it would be easy to let the user choose between PNG and JPG like Twixl does.

You should report this via Gold Support who will investigate this. Minor file size changes will always occure on releases, however since you report the size change is significant, there may be some issue and needs further testing.

Why are all jar files not compressed in the JRE installer?

I used 7zip to unpack jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe (Oracle JRE Installer). On unpacking, I got a core.zip, a zipper.exe and a few other files.
Again on exploding core.zip I found a few things. core.zip contains all the jar files just like it would be after installation except for 7 jar files.
charsets.jar
deploy.jar
javaws.jar
jsse.jar
localedata.jar
plugin.jar
rt.jar
Instead of these jar files there exists the corresponding packfiles
charsets.pack
deploy.pack
javaws.pack
jsse.pack
localedata.pack
plugin.pack
rt.pack
I think these are files created by pack200.exe & unpack200.exe is run on them after installation to create the corresponding jar files.
So now I have a few questions
Why are only these 7 files run through pack200.exe. I assume its because they are bigger than other files. But it wouldn't take that much effort to pack all jar files & unpack them after installation.
The .pack extension suggests that these are packed but not gzipped. Again why would Oracle not do a gzip also? for eg with rt.jar packing reduces size from 45 MB to 12 MB, while adding gzip also reduces it to 6 MB.
Edited by: 966944 on Oct 22, 2012 8:19 AM

Whatever the truth of all this may be, you won't find it here. This is a user to user forum, not Oracle support or a channel to the developers. All you will get here at best is valid post hoc reasoning: at worst, guesswork. And if you're trying to bring this issue to Oracle's attention, again this isn't the place to do it. Locking the thread.

Why are my ".pdf" files not opening in Creative Cloud? The tumbril shows up as a blank page!

I just switched over from Adobe Acrobat Cloud to Creative Cloud; a tedious task. Most of my files open up fine, but some of them show up as a blank page thumb nail. They do have ".pdf" extension. Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to correct the issue?
Ty

@masood131 - A few questions:
Are the pdf files without a thumbnail password protected? (Probably not but just checking since we will not be able to provide a preview for such a file).
If you click on the blank thumbnail to view the individual file page do you see a larger preview image, or is that blank too?
If you refresh the browser page does the thumbnail image show?
If you upload the file a second time do you see a thumbnail image?
If there is a problem with a specific file feel free to share a link with me via a private message and I can investigate further.

Why are my desktop files not showing on the desktop

Why are the files in my desktop folder not showing on my desktop?

An add-on can put its icon on the bar automatically if it likes, but some add-ons do one of the following:
* Add an item to the Tools menu
* Add an item to the right-click menu (depending on the context)
* Put a button in the button palette so you can add it to a toolbar if you like (''to call up the button palette, use'' View > Toolbars > Customize ''or right-click a blank area after the address box on the Navigation Toolbar and choose Customize from the pop-up menu'')
Also, you might want to double-check that the add-on is enabled.
Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
If you have the orange Firefox button, it's Firefox > Add-ons > Extensions
Does that help? (If you have problems with a particular extension, you could mention which one it is for more specific comments.)

Why Are My Cache Files & Other "Hidden" Files/Folders Visible? & How Do I Get Rid Of Them?

I hid mach_kernel and private, but the cache.db, cache.db-shm, cache.db-wal of both the system and user folder are, also, visible. Yesterday, I had to restore from a Time Machine backup because something had suddenly eaten all the space on my startup drive. However, these files were visible prior to the restore. So, why are they there and how do I safely dispose of them or hide them to prevent their return to visibility? Thanks.
