Photoshop Camera Raw 5.3 - Failed to install

Posted
This post is purely aimed at followers who are Photoshop users and who shoot using a "raw" format. For some time I have been plagued by a message when opening a raw file from either Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop Bridge that I needed the updated Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 plug-in. Despite several attempts to install ACR 5.3, I always got an error at the end of the install process saying "Photoshop Camera Raw 5.3 - Failed to install".

I decided over the weekend to give it another shot, initiating the update from the Updates menu under Help in my version of PS CS4. Once again failure. Then I had an inspiration that perhaps the issue might be that the update needed access to some files that were being used by either Lightroom or Photoshop, I closed LR, and once the download started I also closed Photoshop. Eureka! The ACR 5.3 installed successfully.

For the record I am running Windows Vista 64bit SP1. Good luck if you too have been having this issue, and hopefully this is all you need to do to successfully update to ACR 5.3

A Very Industrious Rat Caught on Wildlife Camera in my Backyard

Posted
Something a little different today — and the answer to a mystery that had been quietly bothering me for ages. For months, possibly years, I'd been waking up to find my back deck covered in sticks, twigs, and leaves. Every morning the same scene: a small but unmistakable scattering of garden debris, exactly where I hadn't left any. The trees overhead would explain a few leaves, but not the sticks, and not in those amounts. Something was bringing the material to the deck — quite deliberately, by the look of it. I finally ordered an inexpensive infrared trail camera from Amazon — an Abask model, since discontinued — set it up looking at the deck, and waited. The Culprit The very first night caught my visitor in the act. A rat, scampering back and forth across the deck under the infrared light, carrying sticks and leaves in its mouth and stockpiling them in a particular corner. Industrious, focused, and completely uninterested in my presence as a watcher. Here's the v...
