Photoshop :: Opening Multiple Files... Faster?
Mar 2, 2008
I'm using PS CS 3 Extended and whenever I try to open multiple files/images (either by dragging/dropping, using the bridge or just using the Open dialog) it really takes a long time, because photoshop seems to want to "check" every image behind the one it just imported. Let's say I'm importing 40 pictures for editing into Photoshop and I'm upto image 30; then it checks every image behind that (29, 28, 27, 26 etc.), slowing the process down conciderably.
In previous versions of Photoshop, I used to be able to import multiple files and they would load up relatively quick, and it wouldn't do this "checking" of files behind the last file imported.
Is there any way to turn this "checking" off so the import process will be faster?

I've seen one thing in all the Photoshop versions and it really annoys me: if I open more than one file (e.g. 10 files), then in the Window list of the files the first one is always the last file in the selecting order. E.g., if I open files i001.jpg....i010.jpg, then PS lists them in order i010.jpg, i001.jpg, i002.jpg ... i009.jpg.
This makes it really unconfortable to edit multiple files in row and I have to do this all the time. Problem is that I need to process files from camera and then save them in order. One mistake could mean a lot of time later reordering items. Any fix or workaround? Currently I open n+1 files and then close the last one in order to get the listing in correct order.

Is it possible to select a few objects by "sliding a mouse", on layer panel? For example, you can hold down the mouse, slide to lock multiple objects. It's fast and easy!
But if I need to select, say, only red, blue, yellow stars... I need to click the ◎ icons to select each sublayer. when I have so many objects to be selected on layer panel.
I use CS6 on Mac. Is there any secret shortcut key to select objects on layer panel by "sliding a mouse"?

I have a user that is attempting to open multiple files at once in IllustratorCC. When you select multiple files and right click -> open, it only opens one file. If she double clicks a file while there is a file open in illustrator, nothing happens. The only way she has found to open multiple files is to go to file->open->browse to location for each file. This is quite time consuming. Is there anyway to enable being able to quickly open multiple files similiar to how older versions of Illustrator did?

Some of you might also have encountered the nasty issue of CorelDraw (CorelDrw.exe) to open a new instance of CorelDraw for every CDR file being double-clicked for opening. After twiddling around and searching the web, I finally found out that CorelDraw.exe is case-sensitive for DDE commands. As such, using the DDE argument 'Open("%1")' won't do anything.The solution for CorelDraw X4 (CorelDrw.exe) is:
Application used:"C:ToolsOfficeCorelPROGRAMSCORELDRW.EXE" -DDE "%1"
DDE Message:[O("%1")]Application:CORELDRW_MOSDDE Application not Running:<empty>Topic:System
Corresponding registry file:-----------------------------------------Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCorelDRAW.Graphic.14shellOpen][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCorelDRAW.Graphic.14shellOpencommand]@=""C:\Tools\Office\Corel\PROGRAMS\CORELDRW.EXE" -DDE "%1""[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCorelDRAW.Graphic.14shellOpenddeexec]@="[O("%1")]"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCorelDRAW.Graphic.14shellOpenddeexecApplication]@="CORELDRW_MOS"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCorelDRAW.Graphic.14shellOpenddeexecTopic]@="System"

I have noticed that a file is xrefed much faster if the file has been opened at some point. (Wtih the file I tested with it was 45 sec vs 1,5 sec) This must mean that the file is cached and can very quickly opened later if it has been opened.
I have an application that xref other files as overlay xref's. This is very slow since the xrefed files haven't been opened. And it will be this slow every time i xref them since they are never opened. Is there a way I can cache the files manually or something like that?

I can open an image just fine in Photoshop CS3 by going file-open and clicking on the file, I then want to bring in another image into Photoshop CS3 by using file-open which I can do but then the first image disappears and only the second image is in Photoshop.

PS CC crashing when trying to open multiple images? If you open one file at a time, there are no issues, but 2 or more and it crashes as shown below. I've tried it with JPG's, TIFF's and PSD's and still get the same problem.I've also tried starting it while pressing alt/ctrl/shift, but still get the same problem.
PS CC is version 14.0, 32 bit, running on Windows 7 which is up to date. I do only have 4GB RAM, of which PS takes 60% of it according to the system info panel.I never had this problem before in CS6 or previous.

photoshop CS5
new 17" toshiba laptop (this was not a problem on my previous/old laptop)
2 gig Video Card: nVidia Gforce GT 630M/PCIe/SSE2
12 gigs of ram
First ?:
How do I get drawings I've just opened to float (rather than pin themselves to the top left of ph-shop?
Second ?:
When I open a photo.... work on it.... open a second photo....It opens and appears as a blank pallet, (as if there's no picture) but.... when I grab and move the image window with my cursor at the top border, the image appears... then when I release it placing it where I want to move it... the image disappears again. The image is visable the WHOLE time within the navigator panel.
I then have to restart CS5 in order to fix it... but then it'll happen 10 minutes later.

I am working on a picture file, jpegs, changing the size, the level, etc. I open several pictures usually 3 or 4 and when I try to open the next I receive a pop up error message that says: "Could notcomplete your request because of a program error.” This has just started to happen recently, probably since I upgraded to CS6. Previously I could work on a file and have 100 or so pictures
open and still be able to open additional pictures. I have downloaded and in installed all availableupdates and the message I receive when I check for updates is:
“Your applications are up-to-date as checked less than a minute ago.” I tried to Edit>Purge>All, Reset Preferences, Deleted the Adobe Photoshop Ver. 6 Prefs.psp folder and pressed Ctrl+Alt+Shift on Photoshop startup and deleted Adobe Photoshop Settings file. Did not work, what next?

I'm duplicating layers one at a time. I have to duplicate the same layer for a total of 108 layers and this seems ridiculously time consuming. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to make a large number of duplications at one time?

I have just switched from PS CS5 to CC. Under CS5, the default for opening multiple images put them in separate windows. Under CC, the default appears to be to put them in separate tabs and one must select separate windows from the Window Arrange sub menu. How can I restore the CS5 default. I prefer to always open multiple images in separate windows.

My main user folder on the iMac is set to be shared (read/write, including all enclosed files) with my MacBook Pro. The job is a series of one-page InDesign files (they are newspaper advertisements). The IDD files contain a series of Illustrator files with linked PSD files.The idea is that we can both work on the .idd and .ai files in the same folder at the same time.
It's all working fine EXCEPT that whenever an .ai file is opened on the MacBook, Illustrator doesn't know where the linked PSD files are. We can update the link, but when the .ai file is then opened on the iMac and saved, the same thing happens the next time it is opened on the Macbook.
I don't want to embed the PSD files into the .ai files as sometimes I have to modify them and they can be linked to up to 20 .ai files.
G5 iMac OSX 10.7.5 / Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2 / networked via FireWire cable / file sharing on, laptop user has Administrator status, all files are read/write, permissions include all enclosed files / CS6

I am trying to batch plot to PDF's from a drawing file that has multiple tabs in it. I would like each tab to be a separate PDF file. We are utilizing Acrobat X to write the PDF's. AutoCAD places all of the tabs into one file whether I tell a Multi-sheet file or a Single-sheet file.

I'm trying to find a way to plot multiple (over a thousand) DWG files to PDF without doing each one manually. I've played around a little bit but without any luck. I'm using AutoCAD 2002 LT. Is there any way to do this?
I've also got little to no experience with the more complex settings and abilities of autocad so do so in laymans terms.
2002 lt has no general publish (only publish to web) option and how sheet sets work.

im just getting used to using PS and IR together although ive been using PS for a while and i wanted to know if one of the ways to have a faster loading image was to save it for web and lower its res or to actually create more slices and have the HTML generator create a table to load the image faster?
im trying to get the best load times for a 28.8Kbps modem load (setting the bar low to get best results).

I'm working in CS6 Cloud. I have a document with multiple artboards. However, when I go to open it, a dialogue box comes up and says "Open Pdf - Select a page from PDF to open...". I can then only open single artboards as separate documents. How do I go back to opening multiple art boards all at once?

I am working in Illustrator CS (but this also happens when I open the file in CS3). I am on a Mac.
When I choose "open" or when I double click a particular file in the finder to open it, Illustrator opens two copies of it. FYI, the original file is named "AuroraTank.ai" But, when Illustrator opens the file, it opens one copy as "AuroraTank.ai:1" and the other "AuroraTank.ai:2". If I edit one of them it makes the changes simultaneously on both.
All of my files do not open this way so I must have saved it with a certain setting? What did I do to make Illustrator behave like this and how do I stop it?

I recently purchased CS6 and loaded it to my desktop PC running Windows 7 and everyhing is fine.
I recently purchased a new laptop and loaded a second copy to it (running Windows 8). When I process a RAW file and try to open it in PS6 about every 4th file does not appear in the PS6 workspace. The file details show in the top left corner, the background layer appear, I supposedly can save this file but I cannot see anything. When I close PS6 and re-open it and re-open the ACR file, then open to PS6 if works fine.
