Working between Photoshop and Flash CS5

I have completed a markup design for a website home page in layers using Photoshop. I now would like to import some of its elements into Flash to experiment with animating them. The problem that I am having is that for text layers only the basic elements seem to be imported. In other words, none of the text effects (e.g. drop shadow, beveling) into Flash. I also am experiencing the same thing with a simple shape that I have added some fx to. I want to be clear that I am not trying to import the effects separately. I just want the text to look the same way in Flash as it does in Photoshop. Can anyone offer me a suggestion as to how to import PSD files into Flash with all of the effects?
Thanks!

Turn off the editable text option when importing the PSD into Flash to convert them to images. If keeping the text editable is important then you will have to re-create the look using Flash's life effects. It's a completely different thing from PS...

Hi,

Do you plane to add the possibility ?

Given that you named the class TextDynamicLayout, it implies you are trying to handle wordwrapping text. That requires handing down the VBox's explicitWidth to the Text controls before they get measured. Wordwrapping text can be any size so it needs to have its width fixed in order to determine its height.
The List classes do not support percentages on the renderers. All renderers are effectively given a size based on the List's size (or DG Column size). You can see how explicitWidth is handled in the default renderer by looking at the source for ListItemRenderer.as.
Note that VBox or any container makes for heavy and slow rendering. That's why the default Flex renderers extend UIComponent and have custom measure() and updateDisplayList() methods.

Working between Photoshop and Illustrator

Hi,
I am trying to work between the two programs without losing quality, but I am not having any luck.
I usually start in Illustrator, creat some vector artwork, add some brushes to it in photoshop....
by the time i come back to illustrator it looks like my original design has been rasterized.
The vector artwork is pixelated.
Tried saving in a few different formats from photoshop but can't figure it out.
I'm sure it is sometihng basic.
Thanks for the help.

You get what you ask for:
I usually start in Illustrator, creat some vector artwork, add some brushes to it in photoshop....
PS, for all intents and purposes, is pixel based. The only way to retain vector editability would be to use smart objects, but then again none of this matters when you go back to AI as it has its own share of issues dealing with PS files. It's really your workflow.. You should try to only do the parts in PS that you realyl must and then export them as a separate document with transparency which then can be imported and integrated in AI...

Interaction between InDesign and Flash CS5

To all the InDesign/Flash users: I have a question for you...
I've been asked something by a client: He would like to add a Google Analytics on a Flash file to track users. He cannot do it in the HTML ('cause he only creates the .swf file and doesn't have access to the HTML file), so he needs to do it in the .fla file. He has found the ActionScript code to do so, but there's a problem...
From InDesign, he needs to export as .swf, because he wants to have the Page Curl effect (and I think some other features also) that he looses if he exports to .fla.
The .swf alone works well. But as soon as we try to import it in Flash (in another .fla), it looses all it's attributes/codes and just import the layout (that keeps moving from page to page)...
If I open it in a decompiler (SWF Decompiler), it shows me there is some ActionScript code, but even then, if I decompile it and export it as a .fla, when I open I loose all the interactions (like the imported .swf).
It's the first time I see something like that. What does InDesign do to the .swf file? How can we solve that problem?
Any help will be welcomed (I'm not a InDesign user...).

ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 for AE and Flash CS5.5?

Good evening, I have no idea what's actionscript but I think it's cool. I'm willed buying a book but I have one here ( Flash CS4 The missing manual by Chris Grover) which has 7 lessons about Actionscript 3.0. Does it work for AE and Flash CS5.5? Do I have to buy another book? Which book you recommend? Thanks a lot again.

Do you mean After Effects? AFAIK, the file formats that After Effects outputs wouldn't support ActionScript.

Can't get Camera Raw widow to open between Photoshop and Bridge.

Okay, so I can't get the Camera Raw editing window to open between Photoshop and Bridge on my new computer. I used Migration Assist and synced up all files from my old computer, and the Camera Raw setting still works fine on my old Laptop. And even images that I edited/adjusted in Camera raw, they automatically pop up in Camera Raw on my new computer, but images that have not been openned in Camera Raw before, don't automaticlly open in Camera Raw editing window?
How do I fix this so that all images open through Camera Raw window before in Photoshop??

What kind of file format, raw or JPEG? If JPEG then you'll need to set your Camera Raw Preferences correctly to have JPEGs open in Camera Raw.

How can I better improve the color of images between Photoshop and Premiere?

I have trouble getting true colors between Photoshop and Premiere CS6.
What can I do to solve this situation?

Premiere Pro works internally with colors in an RGB (red, green, blue) color space. If you want to edit video clips you create in Photoshop in Premiere Pro, create the clips in RGB.
If you want to broadcast the final movie it is best to ensure, in Photoshop, that the colors in your image are broadcast-safe. Assign the appropriate destination color space—for example, SDTV (Rec. 601)—to the document in Photoshop.
You can refer to some suggestion as below:

Let me know if you have any more questions on this.
Cheers!

How is the XMP workflow supposed to work between CS6 and LR4.1

Can somebody please enlighten me ?
I have a raw file in Lightroom, xmp files turned on.
I open the file as a smart object in Photoshop.
Back in Lightroom I do some edits, and to be sure, I save the edits back to the XMP.
Back in Photoshop, no matter what I try, my edits are not picked up. I tried opening the smart object etc...but ACR does not pick up the edits I just made in Lightroom (even when the XMP file is up to date).
If I resubmit the edited image from Lightroom, my edits are picked up, but this can't be the way it's supposed to work, can it ? What good is a smart object if you need to resubmit it each time...
Isn't the XMP workflow supposed to be seamless between adobe applications, picking up any edit, no matter where the edit is made (from acr to lightroom and vice versa) ?
I'm probably missing something, but would appreciate some help.

Taking a little distance and looking at it from that angle, I can understand why it works the way it does now.
Still, I feel there are some missed opportunities here.
Compared to working between indesign and photoshop, when I have an indesign layout and I later edit the placed photoshop document, Indesign gives me a warning that my version is changed and I can update it to reflect the latest state.
A similar thing could be done here inside photoshop "update to latest Lightroom edits" or something similar which could be totally optional for the end user to use or not.
My confusion was mostly caused by the XMP files, it stuck in my head that these were external files holding all knowledge and no matter which Adobe program you used, it would work with those same xmp files... but I understood wrong apparently.
I still have a lot to learn, thanks for all the answers, it is very helpfull.

Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not auto rotate SOME images.

Photoshop and Bridge CS5 does not rotate SOME of my vertical images. Most other photos taken in the same time frame and with the same camera display perfectly.
Orientation is checked for display under Preferences, Metadata, Camera Data.
There also seems to be a discrepancy how Orientation is described under Metadata for those images which DO auto rotate : sometimes it is -90 (which is how I hold the camera for verticals and which displays on most verticals) and sometimes it is "normal" even when it has auto rotated the image. I do not understand this difference.
"Normal" is also used to describe the orientation of those images which DO NOT auto rotate for viewing.
The photos in questions were taken using a Nikon D-300 which is programmed to indicate the orientation of the camera and has always been programmed to do so.
I know I can manually change the orientation but we are talking about hundreds of images (I have over 10,000 photos in all; most of which display fine).
What should I be looking for to explain and correct this issue?
I appreciate anything you can do to help. Thank you.

Thanks for responding to my query. I'll check out the thumbnail size.
It is just so curious that 90% of the verticals auto rotate and the rest do not. The ones that do not rotate are even from different years (other images in those years work fine), although all taken with the same camera.

Camera differences between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements

Does photoshop elements support RAW in the same way as the full programme does through Bridge?

Difference between photoshop and illustrator effects?

Under the effects menu in cs5, what is the difference between photoshop and illustrator effects? when do you use the photoshop ones?
Thank you.

The Photoshop effects are copies of similar effects from Photoshop. As such, they can only be applied to raster art, such as that edited in Photoshop. When you apply a Photoshop effect the Illustrator art you apply it to is rasterized in the background and the effect is applied to the rasterized version of the art. If you expand the appearance of anything with a Photoshop effect on it it will be rasterized. The other effects retain all or part of the vector art. When you expand the effect or save a PDF at least some of the original vector art will remain as vectors, although some effects (Drop Shadow, Blur, Feather, Inner Glow, etc.) to add rasterized art to the file.
The rasterization is non-damaging, in that the original vector, type, or other objets remain fully editable. If you remove the effect the rasterization goes away. There is no dialogue for rasterization resolution in the effect; you set that in Effect > Document Raster Effect Settings.

Slow swapping between Photoshop and Illustrator

I have had this issue for a while now where it takes forever to swap between photoshop and illustrator, even if nothing is on my clipboard. It also seems like it takes forever for photoshop to display its UI no matter what program I am working in prior to clicking on it on the task bar. Once I am in the programs, they run fine until I try to save or print, at which point to slow to a crawl again. It wasn't always like this, but I had to do a system restore a couple of weeks ago to fix a bad boot file, and now the programs run like crap. I have noticed that the person who worked here prior to me never uninstalled the previous versions of Design Standard. So I am just tyring to figure out a way to speed things up because this should not be going this slow.
My computer specs
Windows XP Professional
2.83ghz Quad Core Intel Processor
4GB RAM (tech under since XP pro only supports 3.3)
GeForce 9800 512MB Vid card
All my drivers have been updated and I did a registry cleaner which did not fix the problem. So any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Imo, you should establish a rather strict
color management strategy (examples):
1. Define in Photoshop:
RGB: AdobeRGB(98)
CMYK: ISOCoated
Gray: Black Ink ISO Coated (Custom profile)
Spot: Black Ink ISO Coated
2. Distribute this profile set by Bridge
3. Convert RGB images in Photoshop to CMYK
4. Define Color space in Illustrator as CMYK
5. Open the Photoshop file or the Tiff file in
Illustrator: here it looks as expected.
Problems: the CMYK file contains an ICC-profile
which is different to the global CMYK-definition.
Now it depends on the CMS strategies, and that's
the point where I'm usually giving up.

Laptops best with photoshop and flash

Iwant to buy a mac laptop but i want the one that works best with photoshop and flash, money is not a problem,Please help me!

This is a bit obscure, and even biased, if you will. As of right now, there really is no one Apple laptop that works best with Photoshop and Flash. The previous 17" Powerbook G4 would have been a worthy investment, but Apple just recently replaced that with the 17" MacBook Pro. Any PowerPC processor (right now) will probably run Photoshop and Flash more smoothly, and efficiently, than any of the new Macs (Intel based), only because no current Adobe software is Universal, in which case, will have to run under Rosetta. Now, Rosetta is relatively decent, and bearable, but almost requires one to max out their RAM (when buying an Intel based Mac). As of right now, you're best bet is probably the MacBook Pro, with a 2.16GHz processor, and 2GB of RAM. It will be costly, but almost necessary if you're constantly working with Photoshop/Flash. Some time (probably around spring of) next year, Adobe will release CS3, which will be Universal, in which case the MBP would maintain it's value, and the Mac community will once again reach maximum production availability. Basically, I suggest you go with the maxed out MBP, but lay low, and deal with Rosetta, because in about a year, it will all be very much worth it.
So, hope this helps, and good luck with your purchase!

How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe. They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud). You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

Font sizes between Photoshop and Edge - Any Accurate conversion table?

I have been trying to make sense of the font sizes between Photoshop and Edge. It seems that the conversion tables I have found do not actually give the right numbers and I am wondering if there is a table from Adobe that would make it easy to have the right size rather than an approximation.
I prefer to use text in Edge rather than Photoshop for many different reasons one being dynamic text.
For example a font in Photoshop in a 780 x 475 image is 8pt - In Edge, according to conversion tables it should be 11 px but it is totally wrong. It needs to be closer to 30 px to be about the same.
So, Adobe Team, any documentation on that?

By the way, I have to correct the numbers but they still do not make too much sense. The artist gave me a 300 dpi file so of course the px size what wrong. After converting the file to 72 dpi, the font size happens to be 33.33 pt or 40 px which is now way too big in Edge. It looks like the size my just be the same 33.33 pt would be 33.33 px. Is this correct?
