Ok Kent, serious and hopefully complete advice for you…

Maximize compatibility in CS4, is an option which comes up and you save the file in PSD format. Its OK, mone of the features that you have in CS4 will prevent the file being opened with 7. If you turn maximize on when yoi save, you can open anything. As Ed says avoid using Smart Objects, the "vibrance" adjustment LAYER, or the new feathering feature in the masks panel. There may be one or two other things

Sets are now called Groups - they work exactly the same way, just a different name. Layer styles haven't changed, file structure luckily hasn't changed much - main changes have been interface changes which don't affect your files.

I will try that page 114 and 115.

I did try the Photoshop help menus. They were confusing to me. Long lists of topics. But I have an eye problem and am not sure I searched for just the right wording.

Thanks,

Mark

If You have located and downloaded the pdf and the page-sequence should have been changed since I downloaded it, try searching for »Choose colors in the toolbox«.

Hope Your eye-problem is of the remediable kind and Your eyes will get better.

Thanks, I really need to buy a book.

Do you know a great one for PS CS4?

Thanks about my eyes: They are supposed to be awful and only get worse. A small macular hole in each eye (inherited, since my sister also has one). But they have both gotten steadily better and none of the horrors the surgeon threatened that I would suffer have happened. The surgery would have been awful, with a poor success rate and lotas of miseries along the way.

Homeopathic medicine and disciplines that I have mastered (www.pathofliberation.com) and had neglected at the time the holes happened, have helped immeasurably until now I see an enormously wide angle quite well and only miss a font or two in the very center, depending upon font size. And, with two eyes open, phenomena happen anyway, and I see rather well that way.

They are still getting even better (the eye doctor, not the surgeon, who I did not like, keeps a photo record). So I do not suffer from it any more. Just reading small script is a chore. But I have lots of magnifiers, visors, etc.

Thanks again,

Mark

TOPIC: Why do some actions have 2 keyboard shortcuts?

Also, why do shortcuts always require Command?" - They don't, here's a workaround for this available since Photoshop 5 - you can use Actions - record an action step "Insert Menu Item here". Choose your menu item, then you can use a single F keys for any menu command. No-one apart from me, and one mystery person at Adobe ever seemed to know this existed until now.

"Save as" has two shortcuts because different software used a different shortcut for this - the Adobe standard shortcut is Command/Shift/S

Oh yes they did. Actions and programmable F keys have been available since Actions were invented!

I changed my SFW shortcut to Command + Control + S.

Phos±four dots, that's actually a perfect shortcut--doesn't twist my hand into a pretzeled mess--thanks!

It's futile to ask why. It just is.

Ramon, that's a ridiculous stance to take on a user-to-user forum. When I ask a question or raise a concern, it's really to pull from the vast experience of the Photoshop community, not necessarily from Adobe devs (although I do appreciate their replies in one of my recent posts). I bring it up simply because it's a discussion point and perhaps others are willing to provide their opinions or have knowledge of some facts.

They don't, here's a workaround for this available since Photoshop 5 -
you can use Actions - record an action step "Insert Menu Item here". Choose
your menu item, then you can use a single F keys for any menu command.

Mark, sorry but I should've included the function keys in that sentence. What I was really trying to get at was being able to use shortcuts that make use of the Option or Control keys, like Option-S, Control-Z, Option-Shift-S, etc.

neither application is supported under Leopard and never will be so if you can get them to work you're lucky. You don't say what computer you are using.

this could also be the TWAIN.plugin this is covered in the FAQs.

Most common causes: Bad TWAIN driver, bad printer driver, or a corrupt font

Unlikely?

When every machine in the place is suffering from the same malady?

Computers don't normally catch operational disfunction from each other (like contracting chicken pox!) but the fact that he used a Disk Image to install software site-wide could be a clue to what has gone wrong.

Unless one of his students has managed to write malware to disable the Option key on every computer in the place?!

Unlikely, actually more like impossible, if some of them are running Windows and some OS X. The "corrupt version of the Mac OS" suggestion I mean. More likely that global warming is JAMMING the option keys in some way.

Or more seriously that OS shortcuts have been hijacked by some common software.

This would be easy to transfer to every machine in the lab if the the disk image were made from the machine that suffers from these problems.

I thank you all on the discussion of Pantone colors.

I see that Ann has learned that #2
As you are not using a spot channel, that needs to be a "Pantone Solid to Process" Library.
is not the appropriate answer.

And #4 Chris Cox "RGB settings follow the monitor" -- that's your mistake. Never, ever do that. has perhaps learned to give the correct monitor profile.

I see from #78 that Ann has learned that the working space is sRGB so it was not all in vain. If she knew that at #2 this would have been a much shorter discussion.

I will add that I checked the work computers and they are all North American General Purpose 2 and I will change my home computer to that setting to match the work computer.
Thanks again

Keep your head in the sand, color matches so much better when you can't see it.

Thanks for that Peter. I thought this thread was finally going to roll over and die, but you seem to have breathed new life into it. 'War and Peace' was shorter than this and that included war AND peace.

When I view images in Bridge it shows that I have either sRGB or Adobe 1998 color profiles embedded with images. When I try to open them in CS2 I get the dialog box stating they have no embedded profile??? I'm talking about jpeg files in Bridge. I have two color spaces I work in, sRGB for jpegs and Adobe 1998 for converted raw files either in tiff or psd. These load just fine as the have been saved as Adobe 1998. My profile setting have remained the same as far as I can tell, the mismatch and missing warning boxes are checked. Any ideas what might have taken place?

Thanks for any help.

Hello All

I need to open a file that has a "eps.sit" extension. I just downloaded the "Suffit Expander" on my Mac (CS3). So I have it installed, But photoshop and Illustrator wont open it up. It says it does not recognize it. The file I'm trying to open is a business card template file for Photoshop and Illustrator.

Can someone help me. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Why Atl

did you double click the eps.sit file?

BTW you don't need Stuffit to open a sit file.

To be clear, Photoshop does not open those files. Those are compressed archives containing files that may be opened by other programs.

Right click on the .sit file > Open With > Stuffit Expander.app.

If you don't have a right click on your mouse do a Control click on the file.
