Widgets Seldom Work with CS5

I have Dreamweaver CS5 and love some of the many widgets available. However, most do not work for me. For example, the Prototype Fisheye by TK Flatstone. It downloads fine. Sets up easily. But doesn't work even with his graphics. I've set my graphics in place and it still will not move the images at all.
Why are there so many problems when we try to use the widgets with CS5? Are they not compatable? I'd really like to be able to use the YouTube widget and the Prototype Fisheye but how can i make them work??
Please help. Thanks....maggie

Thanks for your help. Let me give you additional information.
Back in 2010 I purchased CS5 for $139 over the Internet from a company who's web page looked 100% legitimate. After waiting about 4 weeks for CS5 to arrive it was delivered by US mail from China. I opened the box and the Adobe packaging looked very genuine so I truly thought is was a legal copy of CS5.
I installed CS5 with the license key that was on the CD case with no problems. A few weeks later I had a question so I called Adobe and they told me that the license key was not a valid key.
I also have noticed that in the help menu there is no way to peform a deactiviation of the software like there has been on earlier versions.
With all of the above said it looks to me that I purchased without knowing an illegal copy of CS5. Next time I'll buy from a source I am familiar with.
I have this copy of CS5 installed on 2 desktop machines and a laptop. I was able to do this because there was no deactivation feature.
I guess I would still like to know why CS5 32 bit is working but CS5 64bit says my license key is not valid.
Lesson learned - cheapest price is not always the best.

Want to open Kodak Photo CD files (.PCD) in Photoshop CS5. In CS4 i copied file "Photo CD.8BI" from an older version into the File Format folder. This does not work with CS5. Any fix?

I have several old Kodak Photo CD with PCD image files. I am now using Photoshop CS5. Some years ago while using Photoshop CS4 I copied a file: "Photo CD.8BI" from an older, CS2, version to the Plug-ins/File Format folder of CS4. This does not appear to work with CS5. Any fix?

It can be made to work, but you have to run the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5, and as I recall there's an additional DLL called pcdlib32.dll that's needed from the old installation.

Will ACR8.6 work with CS5.1?

Bought a new Nikon D810, and my version of Photoshop, CS5.1 says it will not work with this raw image. Can this newer version of ACR plug in to my version of Photoshop?

Yes, you can use the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 to convert your raw NEF files to raw DNGs first, which you can then open in any version of ACR higher than 2.3.
But ACR 8.6 will never work with CS5.1, and you will never be able to open your raw NEF files directly in CS5.1. You will have to take the extra step of running the Adobe DNG Converter on every batch of raw files you take with your camera.
More importantly, you should be aware that you will be leaving a lot of image quality on the table if you work with any version of ACD 7.4—which also requires CS6 to run. The rendering in Adobe Camera Raw took a significant leap forward in ACR 7.4 and later versions.
It would be a real shame to work with an expensive Nikon camera and not obtain optimal raw conversions.

Upgrade CS3 custom plugins to work with CS5

Hello everyone,
I have several InDesign plugins developed with CS3 SDK, and now we'd want to make them work with CS5.
As the first step, I'd want to get some general idea regarding how large the scope of effort it would require.
So I'm wondering if anyone knows whether we have any tools help with such upgrades. Or if anyone could help pointing me at some instructions that would be great.
Thanks a ton!
-Jeff

Hi Jeff,
You could look into the programming guide for a complete reference into what all are the changes you need to make into your plugin for porting into CS5.
But i will mention some main points that hopefully will get you started.
1. You need to seperate your plugin into two plugins that i.e. model and UI plugins. For that what i suggest is consider placing things like persistent interfaces and commands, maybe selection suites and the same into the model plugin and the rest into UI plugin.
2. You could start by not linking against the WidgetBin.lib on the Windows proj and not using the "IndesignModelUI.framework" in the MAC project. The files giving compilation error would be a potential target to move to the UI plugin.
3. Next is when you have decided what all things are to be present in the model plugin, then use the CS5 SDK to compile this project, you will probably get some compilation errors which you can fix with the help of the Indesign SDK help.
4. Once the model plugin is compiled you can place all the other files and features from the original plugin not included in the model plugin into a new plugin(UI). This project will link against the WidgetBin.lib on the Windows proj and the "IndesignModelUI.framework" in the MAC project.
5. Once the UI plugin is ready and then you have made the appropriate API changes, you still might have some linking and compilation errors because of the code moved into the model plugin. For this you need to make a facade generally used for communication btw the model and UI plugin. Place all the functions of the model plugin that the UI plugin uses in the facade and replace the call of these function appropriately in the UI plugin.
6. Lastly you will have to make some changes in the project settings as well for CS5 to copy the resource files with the plugin as well, please refer CS5 porting guide.
If you follow these steps, you would be able to load your CS3 plugin into CS5. And basically the effort in terms of porting the plugin mainly depends upon the quality of code to be ported. If the original code is written with good insight and using good practices of design patterns, porting is not a very time consuming task.
Hope this helps.

Camera Raw 6.7 installation not working with CS5.1

I have been trying to upgrade to ACR 6.7 on my Windows 7 (64) machined running CS5.1.
The downloaded upgrade will not install. Each time I try, the installation pauses at 13% and requests me to exit Bridge, which in not running. I have tried starting the process with CS5.1 and Bridge running then exiting when requested but without success.
Can anyone help?

Disable updating of the menu widget when working with Muse file?

First of all thank you Adobe for creating Muse - I really like it a lot!
My question:
when I work on my website with 250+ pages, it strains the performance to make even the slightest changes to the page structure. I work with two Masters each with much the same horisontal menu widget.
Adding, deleting and rearranging pages makes the PC (Windows 7 laptop of some but not awesome power) make a halt and take a deep breathe for some seconds. It really interupts the flow of working.
A crude work around for this is to removing the menu widget in the two masters and put it into a new master page, containing only the copied menu from the two other masters and keeping the rest of the header in place on the original masters to use for aligning on the pages. This way, only one page has to update when working with adding, deleting and rearranging pages.
I have tried to look for a preference to disable updating the Menu widget when working on the page structures and just enable it the update again when the work is done? does it exist? else I would recommend it strongly :-) Since my work around is a bit tricky/risky to use after publishing ;-)
Again, thanks a lot for this nice program. Being a selftought CS (now CCC) user I like the ease of control of the webdesign you can get with Muse (at the dispence of other features of course - if you ever wanted to add some sort of database-lookup feature it would be MUCH appreciated. One workaround is to use iframe and an external search/lookup page, that returns results with links back to parent pages. A bit funny construction though :-) ).

Glad to know you are enjoying Muse.
It can be very processor intensive if you have multiple Master pages with their own All Pages menu widget. Take a look at the following threads and refer to Zak's response.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1423767
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6166722
See if you are able to use just one All Pages menu widget at your site while taking advantage of the hierarchical Master page feature.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/adobe-muse-hierarchical-master-pages/
We are aware of the performance issues caused by the Menu widget (All pages type) and is something being looked upon by the engineering in one of the upcoming releases.

How to convert olympus RAW (.orf) to work with CS5?

Hi-- I've never worked with RAW before so I'm learning as I go-- & immediately hit head-on into this wall--can't even begin to work with it. I tried downloading some conversion filters that sounded like they would work with converting this format, but no go. OLympus was no help, other than saying to buy the update to the latest Photoshop. And of course Adobe has no customer support. Anyone know the good solution? If so--muchos gracias.
Mark

If your oly is a newer model then the orf versions supported in CS5 's ACR version 6.7 you can download Adobe ACR 8.7.1 version with the DNG converter and create DNG files for your OFR files and process the DNG files using CS5 ACR 6.7.

Upgraded to Yosemite, can't get an Extension manager that works with CS5

I am suing the CS5 suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, etc
Am trying to add some plugins to Photoshop and Extension Manager CS5.5 just crashes every time. Tried upgrading to EMCC and it won't open the extensions. It tells me I am need at least Photoshop 12.0. I thought CS5 was a later version.
I can't afford to upgrade when the suite works perfectly for me.
How do I get EM to work with the extensions I need?
The plug-ins I need are located here:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Photoshop CS5 Optional Plug-Ins (Mac)

Each version of Extension Manager only supports the corresponding verison of CS products. To install extensions for CS5 suite, you can only use Extension Manager CS5. Extension Manager CS5.5 or CC wouldn't work. But you have to download and install 5.0.3 update from Adobe Extension Manager Updates Downloads .

Is it true? My 4 x 2.5 Ghz PowerPC G5 will not work with CS5 ?

im in a state of shock that technology has gotten to the point where i have to buy a NEW mac to work with 2 computers as im used to
in addition to my other intel MAC pro to work with the new pshop CS5?
tell me this isnt true?
the installer says it wont work on this architecure on my PowerPC
but installed and loaded fine on the Mac pro.
im obsolete?

And many rational thinkers agree. The features in CS 5 are not a need to have, but there are backwards compatibility things that shall sting the lower release users if a CS 5 users gives files to them.
I've been using Photoshop since version 5, and I have never been in a situation when I was handed a processed Photoshop file from anybody, nor can I even imagine ever being in such a situation in the future.
99.9% of the time I am concerned with my own files. If I ever work on someone else's file, it is either a raw file or a flattened PSD or TIFF.
What's more, I still deal with large numbers of scanned film negatives and will do so until I die. Adobe bought and killed the undisputed best software to manage film grain, as opposed to digital chroma noise, Grain Surgery, from its developer, Visual Infinity. The last version of Grain Surgery runs only on a PPC or under Rosetta, so CS5 is simply out of the question—by virtue of Adobe's own fiat.

Will these video cards work with CS5?

Will any of these video cards work with Premiere GPU?
GeForce GT 640

Thanks
Brandon

Yes, provided they have at least 1 GB VRAM. See for instance http://ppbm5.com/MPE%20Charts.php or http://ppbm5.com/DB-PPBM5-2.php
Select Video Card / GeForce 600 Series and sort on the column header. There are no 640 cards yet.

Are we now requiered to buy CS6 to get camera raw 8.4 or is there an upgrade that works with CS5?

I use CS5 and don't want CS6. I do however need to upgrade camera raw and would like to get 8.4 or newer. Is there a way to get it without having to buy a whole new program? If not I guess I'll have to stop using CS6 and Lightroom 5 for my work and use another program.

Since I shoot in a raw format,
With which camera?
Their current offer is $10 a month or $120 a year to upgrade to CS 6/CC
You don't have to join the Cloud to get CS6. You can also upgrade to the perpetually licensed version of CS6.
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html
since I prefer not to store my work on somebody else's system
As a Cloud member, you can still store your files locally just as you do now. That's my preferred workflow too.
Cloud membership does come with 20GB of Cloud storage space on remote servers but using it is optional. You're not obliged to.
I have been with Adobe and using both Photoshop and lightroom since beginning, but I guess all good things must come to an end at sometime.
Using the free DNG converter, you can continue with your current software and your current camera. You just have to convert the camera's Raw files to DNGs first.

Compatibility problem - CS5.5 plugin doesn't work with CS5.5

Hi,
I have a problem with our CS5.5 plugin, it works without problems one my machine but the customer gets the errormessage "Adobe InDesign does not recognize JOURNALDESIGNERPLUGIN.PLN as valid plug-in. Please reinstall...."
I know this message from accidentaly putting a CS5 plugin in the CS5.5 folder - but this is a CS5.5 plugin. I tried exactly the same plugin file the customer used in my InDesign and it works here. We both use version 7.5.3 on Windows.
And ideas where the problem is?
Thanks
Klaus

Needing to upgrade computer...but what works with CS5.5?

I currently am running PCs and CS5.5. I need to upgrade my computers and while I'd love to move to MAC, I've heard that I'd also need to upgrade to 6.0 in order to switch platforms. Is that true? If so, it's a complete bummer! I can't afford to upgrade everything right now. :(
So, if I must stick with a PC, will the CS5.5 work on Windows 8? That is the only thing I can find right now.

You won't know until you try. CS5.5 was never tested on Win 8. Should generally work, but depending on the actual configurstion there could of course be issues.

HTML Widget not working with iBooks when exported

I've created an HTML widget for my iBook using Tumult Hype. The widget itself uses the draggable code. When I test it on Chrome and Safari, the code works fine. However, when I use export the iBook and test it on my iPad, the images are not draggable. This is also a problem with movie files, accordion drag and drop lists, etc.
Anyone know what's going on?

I never used iWeb08, but I just tried to make a site in '09 and my HTML widgets don't work either, on the web. They work if I publish to a folder.
The widgets load flash .swf files. I had to manually put them in the site folder on my computer, and in the widget I access them with a file name like "../flash/file.swf". It worked on the folder, but when I published to the site, they don't load.
Since iWeb doesn't know about the folder I stuck in there, I had to upload it to the site folder also. But that still doesn't fix the problem. I looked at the HTML widget source, and to me it looks like the file pathnames are correct, it just doesn't seem to be running the widget.
Anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks

New GTX 590 - Will it work with CS5 Hack?

I have just been reading some of the reviews for the new GTX 590. It has two GPUs on one card. I was wondering whether CS5 hacked would this as one GPU and work faster than a 580, or only use half the power of the card. Thanks Roman

DO NOT get a GTX 590 for Premierew Pro CS5 usage!
I inquired with one of our nVidia forum members but got no answer. But here is a response from EVGA:
"Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting the EVGA Customer Service Team. My name is Matthew Hurwitz and I will be answering your question today.
Answer: Bill, Since the program doesnt support SLI you are correct that you would be paying full price to use half a card. A single 580 would be faster and cheaper for such a program. Regards, EVGA
Question: Thanks much for the quick answer. Yes MPE requires CUDA. Since Adobe Premiere does not support SLI the 590 is problably not going to be compatible with Adobe's MPE or would be a waste of money if it could only use half the board."
So yes it would work but it would cost much more and be less fast than a EVGA 580 (ckeck the clocks the 580's run faster than the 590's) not that I have been able to find any PPBM5 difference between my superclocked 580 (797 MHz) and an extreme overclocked 580 at 1275 MHz (see below)..
