Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
Thank you,
Eric

Is Adobe Photoshop CS2 compatible with Windows 8.1

I currently have Windows XP and after 10 years have to buy a new computer. I have seen that CS2 works fine on Windows 7 , but now see that Microsoft is discontinuing support for Windows 7 January 2015. Rather then buying a refurbished W7 computer and having ti upgrade in a couple of years, I am thinking of just getting a new W 8.1 computer. Will I be able to install and use my CS2 with a W 8.1 computer? I really cannot afford to buy the new PS and a new computer...I also love my CS2 and have lots of brushes and plug ins that I cannot replace because the companies have gone out of business...

yes, though you may need to use compatibility mode to install.
also, use ps cs2 from here with the posted serial number, Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3

Does Adobe Photoshop CS run with windows 7?

does Adobe Photoshop CS run with windows 7?

That also applies to photoshop cs owners as well.
The reason the specs say windows 2000/xp is because those were the current operating systems cs2 supported when released in 2005, well before windows 7.
Photoshop cs2 should work on windows 7, but as always there is no guarantee photoshop cs2 will work without some glitches on windows 7.
If your hesitate about trying it, you can always buy photoshop cs6 or subscribe to photoshop cc 2014, both of which are specified to work well on windows 7.

Photoshop CS5 compatibility with windows 7 and windows 8

Hello,
I do not understand the technical side of computers - I just use them for my work as a photographer
I have Photoshop CS5 32 bit installed on my PC with Vista home premium. I am buying a new PC with 64 bit Windows 7 installed, and it also has the option to upgrade for free to Windows 8 pro.
Will my CS5 work on windows 7 and if I take the free upgrade will it work on Windows 8 pro?
Does it matter that CS5 is 32 bit and the new PC will be 64 bit?
I don't want to get the free upgrade if it means my CS5 won't work on it, as I am happy wioth CS5 and do not need to upgrade to CS6 yet.
Many thanks
Tog Porter

Photoshop CS5 is a 32/64 bit application, so when you install it on your new system it will install both 32 and 64 bit versions by default. This will give you compatibility with your 32 bit plug-ins, as well as 64 bit capability to edit large documents.
You may want to avoid the upgrade to Windows 8 at this time. It's still immature and the drivers (e.g., for ATI video cards) leave something to be desired. Plus, in general Windows 8 doesn't offer any compelling new features over Windows 7 (and actually removes some very useful one) - unless you really want the silly full-screen Metro/Modern games they offer at their new App Store.
If you DO decide to install the Windows 8 upgrade, I recommend you take whatever steps are necessary to install the new system as a full, virgin installation, rather than trying to upgrade the Windows 7 system you already have installed - and by this I mean you should NOT take the "keep programs and settings" upgrade, but do a Custom installation and install Windows 8 as though on a blank disk. Operating systems installed as upgrades to prior versions virtually never work right.
In any case, after having run Photoshop on Windows 7 for a while, you'll want to DEactivate your Adobe software before making the transition (you can do this through the Help menu), then reactivate it after you're up on the new system. This keeps control of your activation/licensing in your hand.
I strongly suggest you read up on Windows 8 before deciding to upgrade. You'll find a lot of experts agree that it's not an improvement over Windows 7, which is hard to imagine because all prior versions - even Vista - have been improvements over their predecessors.

Photoshop Elements Compatability with Windows 7

Do you have any downloads to make photoshop elements 4.0 compatible with windows 7?

What I can't understand is that on my old computer when I upgraded to windows 7 from XP the programme worked fine. Kept all my folders and photo's but on my new computer with windows 7 factory installed it comes up with a message, ''This programme has known compatibility issue with this operating system, check online for a solution'' which I have have done and there is nothing to help me. It looks like I will have buy a up to- date programme. Thanks very much for your help everybody.

Are There Compatability Problems Wtih Adobe Photoshop CS2 On The Windows Portion of iMac?

I understand that there are compatability problems with CS2 and lower vesions of the creative suite in relation to Leoapard OSX. Are there any compatability problems with CS2 for Windows if I install it on the Windows (using XP) partition of an iMac that uses the Leopard OSX?
Please advise. Thanks.

If its not running in Leopard you should be fine.
don't confuse running PowerPC software in Rosetta (PPC emulation) with running CS2 in XP which is native. It like apples and oranges. there is nothing in common.

Adobe forms supported compatibility with Windows 7?

Hi all,
I want to know Windows 7 will support adobe interactive forms or not? If yes, what will be the adobe reader version needed and any patch to be updated?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Sathishkumar GS

In my opinion forms should work in any Reader version released for Win 7 (I don´t know which versions are these, because I am still on Vista). I also think that even older versions od Reader should work ok, since there are some compatibility modes in Win 7, aren´t they? I would not worry about the technical side.

Is Adobe Bridge CS6 Compatable with Windows 8?

I'm thinking about upgrading but i really need to know if Bridge is going to work on Windows 8 for sure.

Wih computers there is no "will work for sure". Otherwise there would be no need for these forums.
PS6 is just as likely to work on Win 7 and Win 8.
However, many computer gurus consider Win 8 is a step down from Win 7 as it is dumbed down to make it look and operate more like a phone or tablet.

there's a chance you could use compatibility mode to install acrobat 5.
if that fails, your only option is to buy an old computer with an old os or buy or subscribe to a current acrobat, http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatstandard/buying-guide.html

Raw Beginner need help with Adobe Photoshop CS2

I am reading Photoshop CS2 for digital photographers by Scott Kelby. I am looking at pg 55 if any one has this book and would like to visually see what I am about to describe. I own Adobe Photoshop CS2 software. After bringing up Adobe bride RAW on my PC, I then see all the settings, Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation.. Located directly above all of these settings is Auto and Default which you can click on and adjust all settings at the same time. If you don't like what you see you click on Default to go back to the original, you can then make your adjustments individually. In my CS2 book there is an Auto box you can check or un-check beside each setting, Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast. My question is how do I get the Auto box beside each setting so I can simply put a check in that box and preview changes individually instead of the Auto and Default on top which changes every setting at the same time? I hope this make since to you, if not I will try to explain again.

Thank you Ramon for your help. I will just be happy with what I have, which works fine but I thought it might be better for me to have the individual Auto check box for each setting. Thank you for the tip to double-click the sliders to reset it to default, it works in CS2 also:) Actually this gives me more control and works out great now that I think about it. I am sure there are more handy little tips I should know about but don't because I am a beginner in learning RAW. Hopefully I'll stumble across a book or some thing over the internet that will help me with my learning curve.

Windows Vista and Photoshop CS2 Compatibility?

I am considering the purchase of a new computer. I have Photoshop CS2, and I am debating whether to get Windows Vista or Windows XP Pro. I have read in the database about Vista and CS2, "Installs and runs with minimal known issues." But it also states under Support for Windows Vista, "not officially." So I am wondering whether anyone has PSCS2 running under Vista, and what kinds of problems you've encountered? Thank you.

I have come across a severe Photoshop CS2 incompatibility with Vista.
One of my printers is an Epson Stylus R310, which prints on both paper and disc. While this model has been on the market for a number of years, many people are still using it, especially those who, like me, have added a continuous-flow ink system to it.
Epson appears to have sat back meekly and allowed Microsoft, whose programming limitations know no bounds, to produce a Vista 'driver' for the R310. Epson even proudly announces on its various international sites that the driver is 'In-box'.
This so-called driver is so poor that Epson has had to release a PDF that shows how to fool the printer into printing to disc when using Epson's own CD Print software under Vista. The Epson XP driver automatically switches the printer dialogue to CD mode, but with the Vista CD workaround the paper mode is retained on screen and it is not until the printer reacts in CD configuration that a user knows that the workaround has worked.
When it comes to Photoshop no workaround seems possible. Print Preview just doesn't work as it does under XP. It is not possible to switch printers, so the target printer has to be made the default so that a preview appears. Otherwise, the user is stuck with the default. In my case, I have used the Photoshop preview box under XP to switch from my default A4/A3 mono laser if I want to use the R310 or my HP 1220. Epson Support's reaction to this situation is that it is up to Photoshop to change.
Problems such as these with the R310 under Vista no doubt apply to many other printers whose Vista drivers carry the dreaded '(M)' in their name.
This leads to a question of my own. I am wondering whether CS3 has tackled this problem of using truncated Microsoft Vista printer drivers with Photoshop. Can anyone enlighten me?

What do I do when I get a message that adobe reader 7 is not compatable with windows 8?

What do I need to do when a website sends me a message that my adobe reader 7 is not compatable with windows 8?

Are you using Adobe Reader 7 on Windows 8? If so, the message is probably correct and you should download the latest version of Adobe Reader (which is XI).
If you already have Reader XI, maybe you can give us some more details about where you are at and what you are doing when you get this message.
