I just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CS6 and noticed that I had an extremely reduced choice of file extensions at the moment I wanted to save my work. In fact, I wanted to save it in .tga, but the option disappeared from the list. The PSD file I want to save only has 4 layers, 3 of which use an alpha channel; the 4th being a plain black background.
And the weirdest thing is that when I create a new, empty file, I can save it as a .tga image, along with a lot of other extensions that disappeared for the other image. Like, I can't even save my first pic in BMP. I only can use PNG, JPG, CIN, IFF, TIFF, and 2 or 3 others. Oh and by the way, it's the x64 version. But it does the same thing with the x32 one. I tried already.
PSE 10 often puts finished work into unavailable formats, worst of all "File."Windows 7.And is PSE 10 outdated, as I've been told, and do I have to keep upgrading each time a newer version comes out?
I have imported thousands of photos into LR4 without a problem but today I hit a problem. I have converted a number of PDF documents into JPEGs as I wanted them to be available to view via LR. I receive the message that 'Preview is unavailable for this file' and then 'Failed to find a place for the imported file'. The JPEGs are stored on an external drive. When I try the same thing in Aperture the JPEGs load into Aperture without a problem.
I am a illustrator who needs to save files in different formats. Like 1 with a watermark, one small one for the website, another one for shop, a pdf file for the prints, etc. Is there a way to do all those things at once? Cause it really takes a lot of time.
I make my illustrations in Photoshop, but if it's necessary to only do those thing in another adobe program, than that's no problem.
for some reason I get the message 'preview unavailable for this file' for about 50% of the photos in the import module of LR4.1. This only seems to be an issue upon import since the files still import as usual and I do not encounter any further issues after the import with developing etc. It's not a huge problem for me but still quite anoying as I am not able to review my photos before actually importing them.
Here are some further details:I am shooting with a Nikon D300s, all photos are in NEF-format, I use USB-mini USB connection between computer and camera. The problem occurs on both my Macbook Pro Retina 2012 and my iMac Mid-2010. The problem only occurs with LR4, I didn't have any problems with LR3.
I am interested in adding some other file formats to the newly added Generator feature in Photoshop CC, but where to start after looking at the installed scripts. I am also not the most experienced with this, so my lack of knowledge is probalby also blocking me
What I want to do:
- add TGA formats in 32 and 24 bit format based on the existence of an alpha channel - change where the image assets are saved to be in the same directory as the psd, not one directory lower in [filename] - assets folder.
Have not had any luck adding TGA formats, again, unclear how to do this. Can see things happening in convert.js, however when trying to add a TGA entry to this, it fails (and deletes the assets folder)
there are several file formats missing in the save as menu in CC save for web gives you the opportunities but takes tripple the time...add file formats in the save as menu!
With Photoshop CS6 Extended when i go to save image as jpeg it shows as file name.iff, if save as png it shows file name.pxe and save file as pdf it shows file name.pcx. All formats seem to show another format.I have done all the updates. On a mac as well.
I recently upgraded to Creative Suite CS4 from Photoshop CS3. Previously, all my images, when viewing them in Windows Explorer, were defined by a specific icon and file type. For example, GIF images were associated with a specific GIF icon and JPEG images were associated with a specific JPEG icon, etc. Now with CS4 they all are listed as Adobe Photoshop Images with the same PS icon. I cannot tell when browsing what type of image file they are.
Suddenly, I am getting the above message, when trying to import RAW files in LR 4.3. I tried with two different cards and two different Readers.
When I click on Import, I get a blank thumbnail of all the photos with the message in it. I was able to see the photos in Finder on the Compact Flash card with no problem.
I have LR and camera up to date for a while, so nothing different has been done that I know of.
I"m a newbie to Draw. I normally use Inkscape or AI.
I am trying to communicate with a print shop. I can only speak with customer service, not the art dep't. No matter what file I send, the message from the art department is that they need a vector file. I have sent .svg, .ai, and .cdr, ensuring that the entire area is included and that nothing is rasterized. Everything is paths/curves.
I'm using the latest Draw and AI. I"m trying to find out what version of Draw they are using.
I'm at a loss as to why these files aren't opening as vectored art. I have even suggested that they ungroup and look at it again.
My latest problem is file formats! I have two cameras, one of which produces .AVI video format. I have found that Corel does not "read" this format - or am I wrong? I am working from a card reader. I have succeeded in using the latter files in VS but only by converting to MP3. I don't want to part with this very handy camera so am I missing something in that perhaps I can change some setting to enable Corel to recognise .AVI files? I don't want to have to use the editing suite which came with my Traveller camera. I have found it is easy to load via Picasa - which accepts many formats - but it's when I come to insert media file to the VS library that the trouble starts - obviously because the files are .AVI.
I am now almost at completion for my Blurb book via LR4, one point I am unsure of is that I shoot in RAW so most of my photo's in the book are DNG with a few JPEGS will I be able to download to Blurb when I wish to publish the finished book
I have 50 inch 1080p TV and a media player that can play almost any format. I have VideoStudio X3 and a decent core2 PC running XP. I have a few 1 hour each video files that I captured from my sony SD camcorder few years back using Firewire. These video files are like 25GB each and not high def.
Now I have edited some of these video files but I am not sure what is the best format to use when creating video file to watch it on my HDTV. I don't need to burn disks or re-edit the files once I am done editing one time.
I have tried custom MPEG2 with 8000 bit rate and 100% quality and it looks okay but grainy on my HDTV. I tried avchd/Blu-ray and they look much smoother on HDTV however they are a bit soft and dull in colors and not as sharp as custom mpeg2.
There are so many formats like DVD mpeg2/AVCHD/HDV/Blu-ray with mpeg2 or h.264 and videostudio help did not do a good job explaining them So I would hope experts here would guide me what best quality format should I pick for these SD videos so that they look nice on my HDTV. Would picking aspect ration to 16:9 make any difference for these sd video?
I am sure when I buy an HD camcorder I would have better options to keep picture quality great.
I am finding some difficulties to deal with vector files in PSP.
a) When reading=> I saved several .SVG files from Inkscape software and PSP isn’t able to open the files (I could open them through GIMP). The “SVG import” dialog box opens in PSP, but when I click in “ok” a message mentions “this is not a valid SVG file”. What could be happening? What is the better/compatible vector file format that PSP is able to handle?
b) When writing=> I created a vector logo with text and drop shadow in layer style. I would like to send it to other people that don’t have PSP. So, is there any vector file format which PSP is able to write/save? I tried to save it in .WMF and .EMF, but the output isn’t good (the definition isn’t good, the shadow doesn't appear, when I insert the logo in Word the text character changed to japonese character).
I had a time where I shot some home videos on my old Sony DV camera (type2 DV 29.97fps) and also some on my other digital cameras of various models which recorded in mjpeg (20fps), h.263(30fps), mpeg4sp (29.97fps), and even a few .asp. I want to combine all these in chronological order on DVD. But I worried about which format to choose when rendering such a mixture, since I've heard that type 2 DV should be lower filed first. Will that mess up the way the other files are rendered? I was wondering if i should render the DV out to DVD compliant mpeg2 first and then add in the others in another project.
I just downloaded GIMP 2.8.2 for MAC and I'm trying to export a file to other formats (PGN, JPEG etc. The export image window greys out and nothing happens for many minutes.
I finally give up and I get this error: Saving '/Users/muladhara2004/Desktop/filename.png' failed: Procedure 'file-png-save-defaults' returned no return values
I'm working with a jpg file. I'd like to be able to see how the photo will fit in various printed formats--8x10, 10x14, 12x18, for example, and what cropping, if any, I'd need to perform. How do I do that? And how do I see its current size, given either the horizontal or vertical dimension?
Using Lightroom 5.3 with Camera Raw 8.3 on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.2
Camera is a Canon EOS 70D, working with Raw files.Just noticed that when applying a range of changes to an image - Tone / Presence / Noise / Crop / Sharpening (and others)When exporting the image
- export to JPG, TIFF and PSD works ok, all changes applied correctly - export to Raw and DNG do not include changes applied to image - original image is exported
Not a show stopper as I have usable formats, but would like all file formats available for flexibility.
I am trying to save a CorelDraw X5 file in Adobe Illustrator, so I can bring it into Illustrator CS4 to work on it in Illustrator.
It will only save in CDR format. Whatever different file format I try I get a message "No object to Print, Export, or Save" I originally grouped it and saved it in CDR.
We installed C3d 2012 a few months ago. When importing or exporting point I need to select the point file format each time. In previous versions, since we almost always use the same format, once you selected the format and imported/exported points it was selected by default the next time you imported/exported point. Since switching to C3d 2012 we have has issues of wrong format being selected for export (probably import also, but those are probably caught by the user themself).
I have tried creating a new format starting the name with an underscore as we do with the most common styles so that it would be listed at the top of the list. This did not work. It seem to me that the only solution is to delete all other formats to insure the correct format is seclcted. This will cause a problem on those occassions when another format is required.
i'm moving from PC to MAC and have some source PDN files that I need to retain in a layered format. I don't mind using photoshop elements or similar on my new platform, but how do I get my current layered PDN over in a format that can be read on the new software?
Is there a way to remove some of the "save as" file formats from the list (when saving a file as...)? After numerous years in my field, there are a number of file formats I have - and probably never will - need to save my files as. If I could remove some of them, then it would speed up my workflow (so that I don't have to scroll down every time I save a file).
The organizer in my PSPX5 U only shows video files, AVI, MOV, etc. I will not display JPG or other still image formats. I also have VideoStudio X5 U installed. I removed PSPX4 where the organizer worked properly. I cannot find a setting to disable or activate a file extension other than in the Preferences, where there is no mention of a video format.
I am developing an application for C3D using 2010 vb.net. How to build a list of Point File Format names using PointFileFormatCollection and PointFileFormat methods? How to extract the names from PointFileFormatCollection.
How the order of the list of Point File Formats is controlled?
We have a large list of formats predefined for doing coordinate transformations between various coordinate systems, but there does not seem to be any logical order to the list of formats.
I've found some very good scripts like the MultiExporter.js by Matthew Ericson and Export Layeres as PNG files by Johan Otterud, however none that quite fit our needs. We need an Illustrator script that takes an AI file and spits out an .eps, .jpg (for print), multiple .png sizes for web, and .pdf. We have an extensive download library for members that constantly change and rotate with new logos, print materials and other graphics.
I was hoping that there was some kind of script that would cut some time off of exporting all the different versions each time.
