6 Great Places to Buy Photography Studio Backdrops
Are you wondering where to buy photography studio backdrops? I’ve spent some time to compile a list of places to buy backdrops around the internet. Some specialize in cheaper backdrops, others have a more premium selection, and some simply have a ton. Most suppliers carry some of most kinds of backdrops: cloth, muslin, canvas, paper, vinyl, faux tex, and anything else you may want. They are in no particular order.

Can’t install CS5 Master collection engl Win 7 64- bits
I’ve downloaded the trial (no problems) and went installing.
After only 3% the installation is shut down (exit code 7) with an impressive error log of 12 fatal errors, 144 errors and 135 warnings.
Am running English (IE) Win7 64-bit (no additioanl language packs installed), quad core 3,23 GHZ, 8 GB RAM, 2* 1024 MB ATI HD5770 graficcards (crossfire enabled) the computer is actually just a few days old, all updates installed. The installation is run as administrator.
I tried installing the Microsoft VC80 and 90 files (in payload) – no result, it did not matter if I just ran the trial installation or provided a license code (genuine).
Any ideas?
Exit Code: 7

PDF will not plot
I have a plotting problem. I cannot plot PDFs to our network HP1050c plotter. Others on the network can plot PDFs to the HP1050c so it is specific to my machine. I can plot PDFs to other printers so the problem is specific to the way my machine communicates with the HP1050c Plotter. We plot wide format, (up to 36X48), drawings. Has anyone run into this problem before. I am using Adobe Reader.
Thank you in advance,

script to rename files that have similar names?
Hi, folks.
I have my RAW files in one folder and my derivative images (e.g., PSDs, TIFFs, JPEGs) in another. The derivative files only share the last four digits of the RAW file names (e.g., the RAW file is named 100826-14278.CR2 but the JPEG version is only named 4278.JPG). Also, the derivative files have no metadata.
Is there a way to use a script to match all the derivatives to the RAW files based on the last four digits, then change their file names to match the RAW names. And, if that’s possible, can Bridge then cascade the metadata minus the camera data EXIF from the RAW files to the derivative files?
Thanks!
-Greg
P.S. My knowledge of scripting stops with cursive handwriting, so please be gentle.

Dreamweaver CS4 crashes
Hi, hope sombody can tell me what’s going wrong.
The first time I wanna startup Dreamweaver on my PC it shows
me the dialog box, known from the earlier versions, where you shoud
specify the file extensions you wanted to be connected to DW. But
than the app crashes.
If I try to reopen it, it shows me the DW startup screnn
blablabla and crashes again.
I watched the Task Manager and it tells me that
Dreamweaver.exe shows up in the Processes and than it just quits.
Can anybody help me resolving that prom?

"SwitchBoard Server (32-bit) has stopped working" Bridge CS5
I installed Design Premium CS5 last week and tried Bridge today. It worked fine and then suddenly whenever I open it, I keep getting this window. I close the window, but it appears again after a few seconds. I can still use Bridge, but the window won’t go away.

Lightroom 3 – The worst program Adobe has ever put out…
If anyone cares to read this, I will be the first to say DO NOT UPGRADE!!
I am spreading the word – facebook, word of mouth, every professional photographer in LA I know, blogs, etc.
You gotta raise hell to get changes.
Lets see if Adobe will do anything about these issues…
I thought that Adobe created “beta” for a reason – to smooth out all the kinks before they put the disk out. Nope.
I have been waiting for them to put out updates on many issues since I purchased the disk a month ago…. Still waiting Adobe!!!
It is excruciating to watch my photos take literally 4-5 minutes to open. Even worse, is the time it takes to save from Photoshop CS5 back to Lightroom – I timed 14min. FOR A PHOTO!
I feel like the old days when I rendered video – went out to get a coffee, and came back to find the spinning of wheel of death still spinning.
Oh, and I got to talk to India today too! for 3.5 hours – with no resolution to my problems.
Susheel accessed my computer remotely – saw my catalog – sees 73,000 images, and asks “are you a photographer?” REALLY?! DId you REALLY just ask me that Susheel??
Why I HATE Lightroom 3 – let me count the ways:
1. Adobe closed their tech support in Portland (whom I have spoken to many times, and ALWAYS got my problems resolved. They always went above & beyond the protocol – and we sit here and wonder why the US economy is crashing), now you get a no-name person in India or in the philippines (who have no extension, no email, not even a direct line so when you sit on a call for 3.5 hours and need to call back you are starting all over again.. Dear Adobe – do we live in 1980?? You are suppose to be a LEADER in technology.
I am morally against outsourcing, my artwork is all about the death of american industrial capitalism. In a time when the US is in crisis, Adobe works on moving things out of the US. I’m outraged – You can’t get someone in the US EVEN IF YOU TRIED! The best I could do was talk to someone in sales about this – wow. What does that say – American’s “look good and sound good to sell our product, but when it comes to something advanced in technology like using the product and trouble shooting, we prefer to use someone with no extension in another country”
2. They don’t offer support for anyone who is running off a network (they expect professionals to be working off their local “c” drive or Mac internal hard drive. HA!!
3. They continued to blame my network – even though my network is running smoothly, has no limitations on access, will open directly into photoshop just fine (and quick!), worked absolutely perfectly in Lightroom 2…. Yeah, it’s the network, riiight.
4. Lightroom 3 is corrupting files when opening into Photoshop CS5 – if I’m lucky enough to open them
5. When I do get a photograph open, it loses it’s filters once saved back into Lightroom (I rate my photos to help me navigate through the masses) – this really is hurting my workflow. When I shoot 800 images in the studio in one day – I DO NOT want to go back and fish around to find the edited version that lost its flag…
6. I have been promised to get a phone call “sometime next week” since there is no extension I can call back on to move forward. I’ll keep you updated – let you know if Susheel keeps his word. He couldn’t tell me who was going to call me, or when, but he “assures” me it will happen.
I wont hold my breath

To Adobe Representatives: How do I get my money back?
Dear Adobe,
I am awaiting the full and official release of LR3.2 so I can evaluate any SIGNIFICANT improvements in performance.
As can be seen by following postings on this list, many people, like myself, are having performance issues on equipment that more than meets the default minimum specification as listed by yourselves for running LR3.0. While no guarantees are given relating to the time taken for adjustments made to be actively visible on the working image, I believe it is unreasonable to expect (in many instances) several seconds to be acceptable. This significantly impairs the visual feedback process leading to over adjustments and costly rework.
Not only are the performance issues difficult to cope with, there are a string of bugs that also effect everyday operability. Personnaly I am experiencing screen flickering, occassional lock-ups of LR3.0 and a complete crash leading to a reboot.
Currently I do not believe LR3.0 to be of sufficient quality to satisfy commercial usage, indeed I am not sure it is actually suitable for hobbyist usage in it’s present form.
LR2.x was an excellent product, LR3.x has the makings of being a superior product – but it falls short by a long way.
Undoubtedly, there will be a string of terms and conditions that you can call upon to defend you having to pass any money back, but ultimately you have a moral and professional position to uphold because in good faith I believe I bought the best, built on the reputation of previous versions, in reality I got a lame duck.
So back to my subject header, should LR3.2 not have SIGNIFICANT performance improvements – How do I get my money back?
Best Regards
Phil
PS – I have no performance issues with any other software I am running on the LR3.0 working machine.

Adobe Bridge Corrupts Canon CR2 files
Viewing Canon CR2 RAW files from a Canon EOS 7D or Canon EOS 40D camera will corrupt some images. After Adobe Bridge creates a
thumbnail of the CR2 files, some images previews will show the file with corruption (large white square or discolored areas). The CR2 file then
becomes corrupt. The file is not corrupt prior to viewing in bridge, but it becomes corrupt after viewing in bridge. The file is corrupt because it can
no longer be processed with any other RAW conversion program including ACR, DPP, or BreezeBrowser. If the file is marked as read only before viewing in bridge, the image preview shows corrupt in Bridge but the file remains intact and can be processed with Canon’s DPP software. This issue first occured with CS4 and the ACR 5.5 update. The problem seemed to be less prevalent with the ACR 5.7 update. However after upgrading to CS5 this problem is back and worse than ever.
When doing a detailed file compare between a corrupted version of a CR2 file and a copy of the same file before the corruption occurs it appears as if metadata has been written to the wrong part of the file (middle) instead of the beginning (header).
Operating System: Windows 7

lots of errors Bridge CS5
I thought that I had bypassed most of the CS5 errors but it seems that as soon as I went to the output module in Bridge 4.0.2 and now 4.0.3x problems started. Now when I try to open Bridge I get a bunch of errors, see attachments below. If I do try to push forward and open Bridge and attempt outputting a simple pdf I get an error that now enough space… and there is plenty on startup, doc and app drives 300GB free on each.
I checked the permissions of the folder, rebuilt disk permissions and they seem to be OK, PS is working OK. 10.6.4 + graphics update, 18GB ram, quad-core intel MacPro
any thoughts would be appreciated.
thanks

cannot sort files in bridge cs4
Hi
As you know it, since Windows XP xp2, the explorer sorts the files this way :
1, 002, 03, 000004…
For getting back the “right” alphabetical way, you can change the registry. So did I.
Now in the explorer, I get the files sorted like this :
000004, 002, 03, 1
Well
but in adobe bridge CS4, nothing changes. the files are sorted : 1, 002, 03, 000004…
Is there a way to have the files sorted like in explorer ?
thanks for your replies
(Sorry for my bad english)

Bridge CS4 and Web Gallery upload – blank page issue
hello,
you guys have any clue what is wrong here..
I created a web gallery using Bridge CS4 but the uploaded files came out blank. When I use Bridge CS3 to create and upload my web gallery it is okay.
When I view the HTML file locally, it loads fine. it is only when I upload the file to the server that creates this blank page issue.

Easy capture sharpening in ACR 6
After reading most of the books available on ACR and sharpening, including Jeff’s latest, and after having dinked with this stuff for many years, I’ve come to a startling conclusion, at least to me. Setting Amount = 150, Radius=1. Detail = 0, and Masking = 0 seems to work well for CAPTURE sharpening on all of my images. And I’m including low and high iso, “high frequency” and portrait, etc.
I capitalized capture because to me these settings work well on the initial image prep, narrowing the light/dark transitions without adding any discernable halo. Doing as is generally recommended, bringing up Detail to add a slight halo visible at 400% but not at 100%, with corresponding Amount and Radius adjustments, can certainly produce a slightly sharper appearing image on the monitor, but IMO one has now at least partially crossed over into output sharpening for the monitor.
Another advantage of the 150-1-0-0 approach is the lack of any artifacts as one continues to process the image, particularly upsampling for printing. For noisy images I do end up adjusting Masking as I interatively apply NR, but again in general the settings work well. And of course setting them up as ACR defaults simplifies processing. I’m curious as to whether others have arrived at a similar conclusion, or not. I haven’t been doing this as a default very long, and wonder if I’ll come across pitfalls later.

Forum list incomplete
Why aren’t all the forums listed on the main list?
There are like 5 forums for Director and none are listed!
Please correct it, and BTW, Director is also a product of
yours. Why it isn’t listed in the main product list of the site?
Are you ashamed of it? I always toughted that Flash, Director and
Dreamweaver where the main products of Macromedia. Seams i’m
wrong…

I like this panel idea
First, let me say I like this panel idea. It makes sense
having it hit API(s) for info, comment, notes, etc.
having it hit API(s) for info, comment, notes, etc.
I can’t wait to see this panel be in every CS app, namely
Fireworks, Dreamweaver, PS, Fl, ID, etc. Even Flex Builder could
use this.

NEF processing in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR)
I originally posted thin in the Photoshop forum and someone pointed out to me that there was an ACR forum.
How exactly does ACR 5.4 determine color for Nikon Nef files? Does Adobe use their own unique color profile for Nikon cameras?
I did the following tests with a D700.
I used the capture mode RAW+jpg fine. I took photos with the camera set to srgb and then to Adobe RGB 98.
I then processed the RAW files in ACR 5.4, once using srgb and once using Adobe 98. When opened in Photoshop CS4, the colors in the images do no look like the colors in the jpg files from the camera.
For the image shot with the camera set to srgb, if I process the RAW nef with ACR 5.4 set to srgb and open the processed NEF in Photoshop CS4 the colors are very different from the in-camera jpg, and there appears to be no way to get the colors close to the jpg from the camera. For the same image shot with the camera set to srgb, if I process the RAW nef with ACR 5.4 set to Adobe RGB 98 and open the processed NEF in Photoshop CS4, and then assign (assign, not convert) the processed NEF the srgb color profile, the image is very close to the jpg from the camera, which I verified by doing a difference.
For the image shot with the camera set to Adobe RGB 98, if I process the RAW NEF with ACR 5.4 set to Adobe RGB 98 and open the processed NEF in Photoshop CS4 the colors are very different from the in-camera jpg. If I now assign the profile srgb to the processed NEF, the result is very close to the jpg image from the camera (with Adobe RGB 98!).
This is very confusing.
Any explanations.

Downloading SLOW
I am downloading 800+ photos from a flash card. The download started out quickly, but now it is REALLY slow. I am concerned since the photos are from a wedding and rehearsal dinner. Is this slow down normal?

Camera Raw editing is not enabled
OSX Leopard
CS4
Bridge 3
Camera Raw 5.2
CS4
Bridge 3
Camera Raw 5.2
In Bridge when I right click and select to open a raw file in Camera Raw i get an error message that “Camera Raw editing is not enabled. Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature”.
There is no problem opening a raw file in Camera Raw when just Open is selected or Open With (PS) or double-clicking
So I can learn to live with it but it never was a problem in earlier versions of PS/Bridge/ACR – is it a bug?
I just had a hard drive failure and had to re-install the OS & all my apps doing various upgrades in the process.
The files that are thumbnails in Bridge were safely stored on another hard drive (not the one that failed and they were created and used with an earlier version of everything).
The camera raw plugin is in the correct folder HD>library>app support>adobe>plugins>cs4>file formats.
There are no other instances of camera raw duplicated elsewhere on the computer.
The camera is a 2 year old canon 5D so it is for sure supported.
Any ideas ?
thanks
