Confused by multiple versions of Creative Cloud apps

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:02:06 GMT

I now have Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC (2014), Muse CC, and Muse CC 2014 installed on my machine and listed in my creative cloud applet. The Creative Cloud applet says they are all up to date. I am presuming that the versions with (2014) appended to the names are the latest versions. So can I safely remove Photoshop CC and Muse CC without any issues? Also I am curious why when the updated apps became available the Creative Cloud applet did not upgrade over the old ones instead left me with two versions.

Bug (race condition) writing keywords to many files

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 19:32:20 GMT

At first I thought I was crazy but after a little digging I discover that it was just Bridge making me crazy :-)

I have a set of hierchical keywords stored in bridge that I use to tag my images (things like Loaction|USA|California etc.). I dont think it matters that they are hierchical anyway.

I launch Bridge, select a couple hundred images I shot that day and click on "California", "Beach", and "Sunset" and expect that all keywords will be successfully written to all of the files selected. Nope. I have to wait between each click until the spinning stops in the lower left corner before I click on the next keyword.

Steps.

1. Select a couple hundred images.

2. Click on the check box next to one of the keywords you want added to the image.

(at this point Bridge starts writing out the keywords to the images)

3. Click on another checkbox next to a different keyword that you want added to the images.

(At this point Bridge starts adding the combined set of keywords to the images and the race is on)

If you execute step 3 "too soon" after step 2 the changes being applied in step 2 can at times overwrite the changes being made by step 3 leaving you with both keywords only applied to some files and not all. It is worse if you select 2,3, or 4 keywords when you have a couple hundred files selected (as a photographer I do this often). The result is an entertaining mix of keywords applied with no confidence that all will be successfully applied and no predicability.

Surprised I have found nothing on this in the forums because anyone who uses keywords tags a lot must have run into this. Unless everyone is using a better tool and if so please share with me your better approach :-)

Reordering Photos in Lightroom 5.3 stops workng after a while

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 20:56:07 GMT

This problem repeats. Seems clearly to be a bug.

I use the grid view to reorder photos then rename them so I have the corrrect sequence number for each image as part of the name. After I have been doing this for an hour or so (on various folders of images) Lightroom gives me an error message saying: "Reorder photos by dragging from within the grid view, not by dragging from another source". The images are not from multiple folders and I am gragging within the grid view same as I was doing moments before it simply stopped working. Subsequent attempts to drag are met simply with silence. No more error messages.

I can simply fix this problem by closing Lightroom and reopening it. Once I do that I can reorder the images again. After another hour or so of doing this it fails again.

Any thoughts anyone?
