aaaaaahh! guys, we're starting to talk at cross purposes.
it's nothing about the PAR output on saving or whatever, this works correctly as it should.

IT'S ABOUT THE THE POOR PREVIEW QUALITY ITSELF.
The screenshots i've postet shows the difference. it's a PAL DV Widescreen setup, to view the Final (correct) Image you have to turn on PAR correction but the preview quality goes down - this is the problem, whenever my client is sitting by.

To have crisp font and shapes at preview you have to turn PAR off, if you want to have perfect circles instead of eggs you have to turn PAR on and get a choppy look of the artwork.

It's the same issue in AE, but there, in the preferences file is a hidden value you can turn off but it's unsupported due lack of testing by adobe.

got it now?

Oh well as it the warning says if you want quality turn off the preview and there is not much you can do about it.

It is a good complaint but you cannot do much about it now. Perhaps there will be some improvement in the future if may people complain.

on and get a choppy look of the artwork.

If you want to have perfect circles instead of eggs, you use SQUARE pixels. When you use a pixel aspect ratio such as the widescreen one you mentioned, that is when you get egg-shaped circles. Like I said, you probably have your monitor set to the wrong resolution. Either take the hint, or stop complaining.

Really, to fix this you should have your final output device on your desk. If you are doing a video or video frames, have a TV (normal or highdef) on your desk, and set the Photoshop preview to use that. I haven't used it but i know there is like a "firewire preview" or something you can use. So then on your computer monitor it can be crappy but the TV will show the actual correct image.
Look up "video preview" in the PS help.

I took in my USB stick this afternoon and thought I might come up with something conclusive. However, my intention was thrawted by another daft aspect of Fuji Photo Kiosks. I had only a dozen or so images, all with Preview turned off, but the Photo Kiosk a minute or so to load several hundred images. It was rounding up all the images in the trash.

I brought this up with the attendent and he told the story of person turning up with an 8GB stick and a few dozen images to print, only to find thousands of old images coming up from the trash. There is no solution in that case but to go home and empty the trash (unless the attendant lets you plug in your USB stick to his computer).

In summary, I did not see any sus files associated with the images I wanted to print, so maybe these kiosks are reading the preview as separate images. But it was hard to tell because there were so many images on the kiosk.

My next step is to go back with a completely blank USB stick, except for two images: one with Preview on and one with Preview off. And I'll do the same with a CDRW.

I'm nail this problem yet.

Windoze boxes often interpret the resource fork of a Mac file as a separate
file.

That's a bit backwards. Mac writes the double file so it can be read back to Mac from a non-HFS disk.

Shift-click or Command-click in the layers panel to highlight the layers you want, then drag them to the trash can at the bottom of the Layers Palette.

At least I think that feature was added in CS.

No, it wasn't. CS 2 I think.

Just turn off visibility on the Layers you don't want and choose Delete Hidden Layers from the flyout. Or link the ones you don't want and choose Delete Linked Or put them in a set and trash the set.

Alright. That i will try.

But isn't that the same as if i use another boot drive (Startup HD)
I have a clone from another good working Mac. If that works well, it must be the same thing.
Almost anyway :)

Not to worry, that was the last post of yours I ever saw.

I'm all broken up, lol ...

The only real difference between Time Machine and other BU schemes, like SuperDuper! is that it's based on hourly backups, rather than a single backup per day. It's "intrusive" but that's the price you pay for a larger margin of safety. You can configure the other apps to "run on their own" as well, just not every hour.

Personally, I'm fine with a single, daily backup that's run overnight using SuperDuper! or DejaVu. I've never tried Time Machine, tho.

So far I continue with manual daily backups at the end of the day, except that new images and major work product (like a new ad completion) are immediately backed up. Time Machine sounds interesting but I find the idea of an app automatically backing up a bit scary when doing it manually is so easy.

Also I use daily backup as a good time to purge; e.g. when I build an ad I may have a dozen large evolutionary versions and after the work is submitted and the deadline is past most of the evolutionary versions can be deleted.

I use SuperDuper! for my daily auto backups. But as for previous versions of a job, I always save my files with sequential revision "numbers". For example, my files are all named [job no.]-[client/job title]-[revision no.]. So, the job with three rounds of billable changes:

2075-ABC Widgets and Gadgets Ad
2075-ABC Widgets and Gadgets Ad-REVA
2075-ABC Widgets and Gadgets Ad-REVB
2075-ABC Widgets and Gadgets Ad-REVC-FINAL

I can find any earlier iteration (obviously) and I have a quick history for billing purposes. That's my "time machine".

So much for testing websites with Windows then. This laptop will probably not serve my purposes. I may try to sell it, unless Apple will allow me to turn it in for something else, which I doubt. I'm disappointed that my husband couldn't use it but I don't fault him for it. It's just one of those things.

Is it true that CS3 will not run well on Leopard?

If you are serious about such a software question that has been discussed ad nauseam you should probably start another thread rather than adding it here on this hardware thread.

Never mind. Point taken. This is what I've heard so I'll just go on my own research. Sorry for my endless questions and messing up this thread.

Linda:

If you want to test Web sites from a Windows machine in the way that the average viewer, with a non-color managed browser on a non-calibrated screen, might see them; all that you need is the cheapest box from Costco!

Regarding CS3 on Leopard: Snow Leopard is due within the next few weeks; and you have CS4 anyway.

CS3 PS recognizes up to 3gb of installed memory even on boxes with more, should the prefs slider be set to use 100% of the 3gb if much more is available (10gb) in the mac?

Does the "ideal range" indication assume that the 3gb that has been identified is actually the total installed amount?

thx.

From: Allen_Wicks@adobeforums.com

Memory allocation/utilization is complex, not simple math. Many folks find some number less than 100% (e.g. 70%) works best, others seem OK with 100%. Do trial and error with your specific workflow.

hi Allen,

I guess the question that I'm curious about is whether the calculation for the "ideal range" takes into consideration the additional ram, or whether this was a legacy tool, developed when there was a real ram limitation.

thanks again,

And if you will be needing the file at different resolutions (such as for print reproduction and for Web), always create the art at the highest resolution you will need. Then make a copy with a non-confusing new name for a lower res version and save it.

Len,

Is there a way to go directly to the window that deals with resolution
size/quality which says something like "smaller" to "larger in a sliding
scale and which seems to have a numerical scale that corresponds with
this that maxes out at "12"?

Sounds like you are working in .jpg format. Don't create art this way, as it is lossy. That is, every time you open-save-close-open a file, you are losing file information, replacing it with artifacts (garbage). Work in a non-lossy format, such as .psd or .tif. You can always do a copy and save as a .jpg if you need it (for email or Web, for example).
