Tutorial Builder problems in Win 7 64 bit CS5

Oct 16, 2011 4:21 PM

I was able to load the Tutorial Builder but it would not save either a before or after image. From reading some of the other comments tried starting CS5 64 as admin and while it did now save the images it would not record tools or steps, only the images. Program is up to date.

    Hello,

     

    Did you install the ScriptListener plugin? Without the ScripListener Plugin you would be able to record steps.

     

    To install the ScriptListener plug-in, copy the file ScriptListener.8li from Adobe Photoshop CS5/Scripting/Utilities/ and paste it into the folder Adobe Photoshop CS5/Plug-ins/Automate/. Restart Photoshop and when you start performing steps you should see a new file on your Desktop - ScriptingListenerJS.log.

    Thank you. That did help to add some of the steps  but not all of them.

     

    What I did:

     

    Have image open in CS5

    Start Tutorial Builder

    Add blank layer

    Start using Sharpen tool

    Sharpen image was added to blank layer

    Click done

    Renamed

     

    I also find that I still have to run Admin to get it to work. But I know

    that sometimes Win 7 does act this way with scripts.

    Hi Bill,

     

    Can you be more specific about which steps were not recorded?

     

    There some things that will not be recorded. The release notes list some known issues.

     

    Known Issues:

    • Tutorial Builder can only capture actions in Photoshop that are recorded by the ScriptListener plug-in.  While this includes most of Photoshop's functionality, some features/tools are not recorded.  In particular, brushing actions are not captured.  We hope to address this in future releases of Tutorial Builder.
    • Some of the the actions that Tutorial Builder captures are not yet instrumented to produce detailed text instructions in the final tutorial.  For such actions, the generated tutorial will include a step that says "The (action name) is not yet supported by Tutorial Builder," and the tutorial author will have to edit the HTML to provide more descriptive text.  Note that the "Show me in Photoshop" link is still generated for such actions.
    • Some Photoshop actions allow the user to specify a set of parameters in multiple ways, but Tutorial Builder cannot detect how the user specified those settings during the recorded demonstration.  Thus, the text in the generated tutorial may not describe exactly what was demonstrated.  For example, in the Image > Adjustments > Levels tool dialog box, you can update the parameters using three different eye droppers.  Since Tutorial Builder does not know which (if any) of these eye droppers were used, the text for a Levels adjustment does not describe exactly how the settings are specified.  Again, the tutorial author can simply edit the HTML to provide a more accurate description.

     

    Thanks!
