How do I change the font used in the PS CS4 "File Info" dialog? The type on my Vista 64 machine is unreadable. All of the menus and everything else are okay; it's just this one dialog box. It's hard to keyword images.
The same dialog box on my Windows XP laptop looks fine, and I don't know why my desktop is using a different (inferior) font.
I am just starting to use PS CS4. I am using a PC with Windows XP 64, 8 GB of RAM etc. The problem I am having is that when I try to add a caption to an image by going to File Info, I get a blank dialog box. It gives the filename at the top but just plain white blank inside the box. The same thing happens in File Info within Bridge. In the metadata panel in Bridge, I can see the metadata is there, including previous captions. But I cannot access them in File Info and I also cannot activate the caption within the metadata panel to edit the caption text.
I was trying to change the copyright information on a few photos in PS, but every time I open the File Info dialog (ctrl-alt-shift-i) the dialog comes up empty and hangs photoshop. Even if I open PS with a new document and try to open File Info, it still hangs.

[I moved this over from the Creative Cloud forum FWIW] I'm a packaging designer and recently have encountered a very problematic glitch.
I have a flat carton layout with an assortment of fonts. I saved the file one day – typical Save – just with PDF Content unchecked since that slows down my workflow. Several days later, I reopened it and all of those fonts were defaulted to Myriad Pro Regular.
Font auto-activation has been a problem in Creative Cloud, but that's not the problem. The fonts are active – they even appear properly in another layout using the many of the same text treatments.
And typically when a font is inactive and text is defaulting to Myriad, the character pallette shows you the intended font between < >
Not in this file. Every defaulted bit of text is indicated to be Myriad Pro Regular. No asterisk, No < >, No nothing.It's as if the font information was lost the last time I saved the file, and the only way to fix it is to manually replace each bit of text with the appropriate font.
Other designers in my group have noticed this happening occasionally as well.
How do I figure out what font is used on text layer on a .psd? I thought highlighting the text or selecting the layer would show me the font used, but it doesn't seem to work that way. Is there an info option or something that can give me this info?
How do I change the default font that is used for printing "Photo Info" in the Print Module? The only option I can find is the Font Size option, but what determines the default font that Lightroom uses to print the photo info?
As far as I can tell there is no way to change the "Photo Info" color to something other than black, is this correct?
I used to be able to just open any image and my copyright info would be inserted into the file data. I guess it was a droplet, "when the file is opened or created then add file info from a xmp file". I still have the xmp file with all the data in but i am unsure how to implement it being automatically opened and added to the file when i create a new one? I thought i could handle it, i assume its a droplet of some sort.
After I save a file for "Web & Devices," when I open it, it returns this message, "This file contains file info data which cannot be read and has been ignored." Will this cause any problem with the file once I place it in the website I'm building? I've never seen this message before on a photo I've edited. The changes I made involved color correction.
I'm currently updating a LOT, and I mean A LOT of old forms, I have to replace the old Helvetica fonts for a new set we bought recently, and I realised that the Find Font dialog box is no longer "extensible". Is this now a "normal" behavior for Illustrator? Is there a workaround, or a preference somewhere I missed?
If this is a choice from the developers, let me say that removing features IS NOT a good way to go!In the meantime I'll revert to CS5 for that particular batch..If CC is going the same way I.E. removing features instead of improving old ones I'll pass..
how can i enable my autocad to pop out the font substitute dialog box? i have accidentally make it default to ignore all missing font, but now i can't enable it to pop out again as it cause me to lost information of text from customers files.
I opened a pdf page in Illustrator to extract the image. Missing font dialog box was not shown while opening the pdf page but junk characters (box-like) appeared in the file.
The font used for these characters is Times New roman composite True type. This font could not be replaced with Times new roman true type font. how to avoid the junk characters while opening the pdf page in Illustrator
This didn't used to happen, but now whenever I open an Illustrator file, the "Find Font" dialog opens as though the fonts I'm using aren't found. Not sure what it wants me to do because no matter what I try nothing resolves. I simply click the "Done" button and go about my business. And there are no problems. Why is this happening? and why now? My fonts are always loaded before I open the file, the file looks and handles just fine.

Modifying the "file info" for a gif file (in my case, "General" tab, "Document Title" and "Description") doesn't actually get saved with the file - or, at least, if it is saved, it's not visible when re-opening the file.
I believe that I understood that metadata for .png format isn't supported, but I thought that .gif was. (Test case is easy: open .gif file, add a Title and Description, save, and re-open - information is gone).
I need to install a custom one that is working for CS5 and CS6, so that it can be seen and used in CC. But I don't know where to put it? (on the Mac)
for CS5 it goes here:
Main 3.0: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0/panels/ User 3.0: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0/panels
for CS6 it goes here:
Main 4.0: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0/panels/ User 4.0: /Users/[userName]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0/panels
- Scratch files seem to be created even in 64 bit Photoshop with plenty of unused memory, so they are apparently not regular swap/page files. What sort of data Photoshop CS4 writes to them and why isn't this information kept in memory instead?
- Do scratch file writes/reads occur at the same time as operating system paging? Is there any practical reason not to put PS scratch disk and OS paging file on the same physical drive?
- Do scratch files benefit more from higher bandwidth or faster seek time?
- What is the typical ratio for Photoshop CS4 for reads and writes to scratch files?
As a digital art teacher I need to check the files my students submit for authenticity. I noticed that since the last 2 CS Suite upgrades the "File info" functionality is no longer available (File>File Info). When I open a student file and I select this option, a blank window appears. I cannot click out of it so I have to do a "Force Quit" and restart the application. I work with Photoshop and Illustrator. I need to be able to see who created the file and when the file was created. How do I restore functionality? Is there a plug-in I need now? I work on a Mac in CS Suites 5.1
I understand we no longer get thumbnails in file/open (apple and microsoft). But what happened to the detail panel for tiffs? I see it for jpegs (like who works with jpegs anymore). But not for tiffs. I have photoshop CS6 and am on Windows XP. I have the file/open function set for 'list.' I find setting it for anything else too cumbersome. And toggling bk and forth between file/open in photoshop and bridge is beyond cumbersome. How is this an improvement?
I'm renaming my image files from the original DSCF_1234 to say 11_1234 the 11 would be for player no 11 if i was covering a football match, what i want to know is, how i match the file to info in a database, & add that info to the image description.
Upon entering File Info and saving the image in Photoshop, all metadata disappears. However, If I apply a metadata template in Bridge, the metadata stays. What may be causing the File Info to not save with the image in PS?
Usig Bridge would be okay, however, I want to create layered images and keep all the metadata. If I attempt to do so in PS, the metadata for all image layers disappear.
Accessing metadata in Photoshop CS6 extended (file info) for any file, raw or .psd., causes application to freeze. I must force quit the application to continue. Application is running on OSX Lion.
I have found how to edit my file info inside Ps, I have created an average file info, my name, my website, and other contact info, and i want to add these information to all of my future works description.
In this picture, there is an auto completion option, what does this mean? I want to these informations will be applyed automaticly whithout my intervention.
