PNGs don't normally support layers. Macromedia, later Adobe Fireworks used a non-standard implementation of PNG that supported layers as the native file format for Fireworks. Fireworks was eliminated years ago. For a file that supports layers, use .PSD, .TIF or .PDF but make sure you select the option to save as layers when you first save your file. If you don't, they will be flattened and no hope of recovery once the original file is closed. They will be toast.

Do the small kb files that the customer can't open have ._ (dot underscore) at the beginning of the file name? These are not the image files. These are (usually) invisible files that the Mac uses to display positions of files and folder icons. You probably have a ._ file for every image file you added to the flash drive. These ._ files can be ignored or deleted by the WIndows user. Only try to open the files that have a normal file name and end with.jpg (although Windows & Macs both have a setting to hide file extension. A bad idea in my opinion, I like to be able to instantly identify what kind of file something is by looking at the extension)

What you showed us is only a preview image from 123RF.com for image 3865756. Notice the watermarking over the entire image? You need to purchase the image (at the size/resolution that you need) It will not have the watermarking. It appears to be only available as a .jpg (or .tif for the largest size only) so it most likely will not have the "your sample text here" in the image. This is FPO (for position only) to let people know the best area to add their text. Although with an image like this, it should be pretty obvious when the text should go. The watermarking (not just the white space, but also over the ornaments) is pretty obvious and it will print like that. People will notice!

Photoshop 7.0 is 13 to 14 years old. It was the last version before Adobe CS. It doesn't appear that this is available on the kglad links.

See this link: Photoshop Album Starter Edition support withdrawal FAQ If you are locked out, it seems that it wasn't registered before the support ended. You cannot register it now, but the link above shows how to get the photos that were originally worked on in Photoshop album starter edition 3.2 They are still on your hard drive. See the FAQ for details.

Esther, you mentioned: Which I am sure everything was thrown out by some Teacher who did obviously did not know what was important to save. So did you register the copy of Photoshop on your previous computer? Or did the other teacher you mentioned register with Adobe? if you registered, then you should be able to sign on to your account and get your password/serial number. You should also be able to download the CS5 software again to your new laptop and then activate. (You cannot just migrate or copy the software from the old to new computers, you need a new fresh install of CS5 on your laptop) However, if it was registered by someone other than yourself you would need to get the account info from them (if possible) Also, since this was a school, it was likely an Educational version. There may be some restrictions/limitations regarding the ongoing use of CS5. It sounds like you may be out of luck (but I may be wrong) Gene has some very good advice in post #45, some people have had problems running older software like CS5 on Yosemite or El Capitan. The $10 Photoshop Photography plan is probably the best idea.

From this page: FAQ | Adobe PDF Pack Why can't I edit a PDF file in Adobe PDF Pack? With Adobe PDF Pack, you can convert files to PDF, but you cannot edit PDF files. To edit a PDF, use Adobe Acrobat desktop software. For more information, see the Adobe Acrobat Pro product page.

Apple has removed OS X 10.9 Mavericks from downloads. They want everyone to update to El Capitan. For people using older Creative Suites, Yosemite & El Capitan are total crapshoots, if you can even get them to install, things are buggy and slow. Creative Suite required a minimum of 10.9 Mavericks but it is no longer available for older OSX users to download to upgrade. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. The only people that can ever download Mavericks 10.9 are people that have previously downloaded 10.9 and it shows in their Apple ID account. Everyone else is SOL. Google this for a volcano of frustration and anger,

Have you ever used the CS4 serial number to get an upgrade to any newer version of Photoshop? If so, Adobe won't allow you to sell CS4. Many people have used their CS4 to upgrade to CS5 and assumed that since they now had CS5 and they don't have any use for CS4 that they could just sell the CS4 version. But the CS5 upgrade is tied to the license of CS4 and Adobe says no to any transfer. Now there has been newer versions: CS5, CS5,5, CS6, CC, CC2014 & CC2015, but I'll bet they haven't changed their policy. But, it doesn't hurt to ask. You would need to contact Adobe directly, these forums are mainly just users like yourself. Even the occasional STAFF member would probably be unable to help you. They certainly would not have the personal authority to do anything about this issue.

You have the original CS, is that right? Adobe has taken down the activation servers for CS2 and earlier. Search the forums for CS2 and activation. There are links to the old Photoshop CS2 that you can download and install. You must use the serial # on the CS2 page, this will allow CS2 to run. Your original serial # will NOT work. Follow the instructions on the page exactly. Also, since you are on Window 7 you may need to use a compatibility mode to run the software.. Perhaps some Windows users can confirm the mode issue.

I view several different forums every day and I have seen new staff posting incorrect information, which is rather unsettling since they are supposed to be well informed about the applications they are commending upon. About 2 weeks ago, I suddenly received notifications that there were new postings to topics that I had contributed to in the past. When I looked at the posts, I discovered that most were years old and the only new activity was a staff poster dredging up old posts to mark them as having the correct answer. A bit unusual I would think.

There seem to be more STAFF in all the forums, Unfortunately, some of these staff appear to have some lack of knowledge about the very applications in which they are alleged expert. A few days ago in one of the Acrobat sub-forums a staff member gave an incorrect answer. I could not believe that he was unaware of the role that Adobe Sans MM & Adobe Serif MM have in Acrobat. Calling him out on this would not have been productive, so I gave the original poster the information of how these fonts work and why he cannot use them to edit PDFs or install the fonts on his system. And I am far from expert in Acrobat, I just try to remember esoteric bits of trivia about many things. You never know when they will come in handy.

D. Fosse, Yes, the "just wouldn't let go" part is very true. Always the last word, either in the forum or via PM. "Marian" was a straight shooter and always gave the correct information. I agree that the "Marian" twist was brilliant. The photo avatar is probably what cinched it. It seemed perfectly in synch with the personality. It's amazing how many people showed up under another name after being banned. Some personalities were so distinctive that it didn't take long to figure out that the "New" poster was just another "Old" poster under a new name.

There seems to be an ongoing issue with people burning out and not contributing as much. I attribute this to the confusing nature of the help files and the forums. How many posts have the entire question in the topic header area? Far too many. What is the soluton? Many new posters are under the impression that they are dealing with Adobe support and don't understand that we are just fellow users like themselves. Too many rants without an actual question because of the belief that this is a direct line to Adobe, which it is not! Lack of basic information like: version of the application they are using, version of the OS they have, basic machine specs, etc. I wonder if a form could be devised for any original poster that would require filling in this info before being allowed to post a question? Probably not, just wishful thinking. Unfortunately, it appears that many posters would be unable to post this info because they simply don't know what they are using. Some long timers may remember a poster "Marian Driscoll". While "she" could be difficult at times, the knowledge was solid. "Marian's" post "That leaves the Photoshop forums mostly for new users to come to holler "my Adobe is broken"

Adobe Sans MM and Adobe Serif MM are fallback fonts that Acrobat uses whenever a font is not embedded in a pdf. These fonts are Multiple Master fonts that only exist within Acrobat and are not available at the system level. According to Dov Isaacs at Adobe, you must have a font actually installed in your system to be able to use it to edit a PDF. Think of these as virtual fonts that don't actually exist on your computer, so therefore they can't be used to edit a PDF. You can see them and you can print them, but you cannot access them. The only exist within Acrobat and only come into play as a default font that Acrobat utilizes whenever the actual font that was used was not embedded. (Multiple Master fonts never really became popular and are no longer produced. They have been superseded by OTF open type fonts)

It looks like you sent this to an internet site that provides vectorization services. These use people in India, China, etc to redraw. While it is sometimes possible to adjust the original image in Photoshop before trying Auto Trace in Illustrator. This is not the case here. The original is pixelated and too low in resolution for Photoshop to make an image that will produce acceptable results with Auto trace. if you have Illustrator, just open the vector image are adjust it there.

You don't open image files in InDesign, you PLACE them in an existing InDesign document.. Create a new InDesign doc, FILE- NEW-Document Set your Page Size to the same size as your image. Make sure you have the size of your bleed entered in the Bleed file. If you don't see Bleeds & Slugs, click More Options. You can use inches, Picas & Point, mm etc. this example of p9 equals .125 inch (1/8 inch) In the InDesign doc you should see 3 colored lines: Black line = final size of document after trimming. Red line = show bleed area outside the document edge Magenta line = margin inside page Go to the FILE menu, PLACE and browse to your image and place into the ID doc. Use the black arrow to move the edge of the image to the red bleed line. Go to FILE menu, EXPORT and choose PDF - Print Make sure you have CROP MARKS and USE DOCUMENT BLEED SETTINGS selected. Open your PDF in Acrobat to view the image with your crop marks and bleed. I'm assuming you are using a high resolution images for printing? 300 PPI (pixel per inch) is a general standard for items that will be viewed close up (no more than arm's length away What exactly are you designing? If you are designing items with a lot of text you should be using InDesign. Photoshop is mainly for image manipulation, while you can add text in Photoshop it is limited, and unless you know what you are doing may results in substandard products for printing purposes.

Have you checked the "Triple Click to Select a Line" option in the Type section of your preferences? You have to click fairly rapidly for this to work, if you wait a second between the clicks it won't work. Also, 4 rapid clicks will select the whole paragraph. This is good because it also selects the hidden ending paragraph symbol. (Sometime the ending paragraph symbol has different leading that the rest of the text and it messes up the leading on the final line. Also check your Mouse preferences in the System Preferences of Mac OSX. There you can adjust the Click Speed. This may have been set to very slow.

You can see the Rosette pattern of halftone dots in the lighter areas. This was a scan of a printed image and this is a common issue. Can you get an original photo (not a scan)? This is probably best solution. If you scanned this yourself, try adjusting the settings when scanning, look for De-Screening options or something that mentions printed images. This can reduce the problem. But scan at a high resolution, also 48 bit if this is an option with your scanner. Scan in COLOR. Then you want to make your adjustments to the image in the color image before changing to Grayscale and possibly doing additional adjustments. It looks like this image is already in Bitmap mode which is Black & White pixels ONLY, no grayscale pixels at all. Once you are in Bitmap mode (Black & White only) that is very little you can do. That is why you say you cannot see any changes in your adjustments. You could erase to White and erase to Black but this is labor intensive and only a viable option if you cannot do the above options. If this is just a one time thing and you have Illustrator you could redraw this and save it in many different file format (but always save the original vectors you created as an AI file BEFORE saying in any Raster (Pixel) type format since these will destroy the vector elements and be no longer editable as vectors)

Mac OSX has moved towards encouraging all applications to adopt a standard keyboard shortcut - Command H - for hiding the application. If you don't have your "Show Slection" set up with a keyboard shortcut, when you use Cmd H it will ask you if you want it to use it to hide Photoshop (Mac standard) or Hide/Selections, etc. (Photoshop Traditional) It will do this even if you already have Hide Photoshop shortcut: Command-Control H. Just go to the Edit Menu - Keyboard Shortcuts to specify a shortcut for Selections Edges. I believe the language for this has changed slightly in different versions.

Guilty as charged. Wouldn't be the first time nor is it likely to be the last. Unfortunately I can't edit my response to add that Nikon should have supplied a CD with the camera for the latest version of View NX2. Nikon claims that the D600 is supported. This should at least allow new D600 owners to open the NEF as save and 16 or 8 bit TIF or JPG. Not as good as being able to open directly in ACR, but at least its something. Note I haven't downloaded and testing this, so NO guarantees! Message was edited by: Bo LeBeau After some more research it is unclear if the D600 is supported or not. If it isn't, shame on Nikon for released a new camera without updated software.

You must understand that opening your PDF in Photoshop will rasterize all the text. How exactly are you creating the PDF in InDesign? Can you make several screenshots of the Export PDF dialog settings? This may be easier to figure out than dealing with the PDF after the fact since the PDF won't have much info about how it was created. How are you viewing the PDF after it was created? In Acrobat? Are you placing it in InDesign again to view it? If the PDF text appears "pixelated" when viewing it in InDesign, you need to select the PDF in InDesign, go to View menu, Display Performance. High Quality Display. If you used Typical Display it will appear pixelated, This is just a view setting and the PDF will print out your text as vector, nice and crisp and clear. This is why you should never open a PDF in Photoshop. It rasterizes the text. The ONLY exception is a file with live text layers that is created in PS and saved as a Photoshop PDF. A Photoshop PDF can be opened again in PS and still have live editable text. PDFs from anything else are rasterized. That is the only way I can think of that can explain your problems

The D600 has only been out less than a week. None of the camera manufacturers share the details of their formats , ex NEF, CR2 etc. Each single model has a slightly different version of their proprietary file formats. So the NEF from a D600 is different from the NEF of the D700, D4, D800 and so on. The same with Canon, Sony, etc. It takes time for Adobe to reverse engineer the NEF for the D600. They usually release new versions of ACR that support the newest cameras every 3-4 months. Until then you can download the latest DNG converter and convert your NEF to DNG that can then be read by any version of ACR. For Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388 For Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389 But be aware that the newest version of ACR when it is released will only work with CS6 If you have CS5 or earlier, you need to continue with the DNG workaround or upgade to CS6. You could also get Lightroom which is cheaper. But neither PS or Lightroom can directly open the D600 at this moment. Patience grasshopper!

Registration is only used for "registration marks" like Crop marks, etc. It should never be used for any elements that you place/create in InDesign. For the above mentioned reasons, never use Registration for Black text. Even elements like a large black box should never be colored Registration. 400% ink coverage is to much ink for the paper to handle! You could make a large box with a Rich Black, but don't use Registration.
