Maximize work area in Photoshop CS4 for Mac

I just re-installed eveything due to the Snow Leopard incedent.
Before, I used to be able to open a psd file or any file for that matter with photoshop and the entire screen was used. Now it opens to the size of the file I am opening. Is there a way to set it to defualt when I open a new file that it is in full screen mode?
Attached is a screen shot of how it looks when I open a file:
Foregive the incorrect shot, the tools menu is gone due to using the screen capture feature in my Dashboard. But i would like to open the file and have it fill my monitor instead of just the size of the file. I can set it to open full screen but I have to do it manually. I would like this to be default.
If anyone has an idea of what i'm trying to doi, please let me know!
Thanks,
Michael Sigouin

One last thing . . .
I am using two monitors. My secondary monitor has all my tools as far as layer panels, colors, swatches etc...
The main monitor has just the "artwork" area and main tools for the application.
Ok, I think I know what I want it to do. I would like the file to open to "Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar". Also, when I open another file, have them tabbed at the top.
Thanks again!

  • Photoshop CS4 for Mac What can cause the error: Plug-in failed to load - NO VERSION

    With Photoshop CS4 for Mac I install the Kodak Plug-in DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0. When Photoshop starts I get an error:
    Plug-ins that failed to load:
       DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0 NO VERSION -  - from the file “DigitalAIRProv2.plugin”Flash:
       Connections
       Kuler
    This plug-in works fine on my Mac Pro with Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6 but fails on a new Macbook Air.
    Reinstalling the plug-in did not make any difference. What can cause this error?

    Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?
    Also, The Flash extensions:Connections and Kuler are working OK, I just copied a little more out of the System Info report than I needed to.

  • How to install english language adobe Photoshop CS4 for Mac OSX 10.7.5 ?

    Hello,
    I am in Germany and need to switch Photoshop to English.
    The option is not available in the language preferences (attached screenshot)
    I could only find an update for Mac OSX 10.4, but not 10.7?
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Languages are serial number specific. You cannot change them on the fly. If your serial number supports it, you would have to install it in English. anything beyond that is a hack like stripping the localization files from the app package...

  • Photoshop CS4 for Mac

    Looking at buying a new mac book air to replace my ageing iMac. Will my Photoshop CS4 still work on it? And as it has no disc drive, how can I get it installed?

    http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl
    Whether it will work or not is another question, but with a little manual intervention it should be possible.

    No, if you subscribe to Cloud it is not OS dependant and you can run either one.

  • Where can I purchase Photoshop CS4 for Mac with a serial number

    Looking to upgrade to CS4 on my mac, where can I purchase a copy with a serial number

    Chuck, you might be surprised when I tell you that, if it weren't for the advances in ACR since version 7.4, I would be doing all of my work in CS4, and that I know others who feel the same way.
    I still have versions 7.x through CS6 13.0.6 installed on my Macs.  I resort to CS4 very, very often. (Grain Surgery plug-ins that Adobe bought and killed, etc.)
    There are many folks who use Photoshop as our digital darkroom exclusively who feel more recent versions are just plain bloated.
    In many ways, even Ps 7.0.1 is plenty, if not for ACR.

  • Program error message - Photoshop CS4 for Mac

    I started to get the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error" a little while back, but it would go away after restarting photoshop, so I wasn't too worried about it. But now I've encountered this one file that won't let me do anything to it. As soon as I open it it pops up with the error message. No amount of clicking makes it go away, and I have to force quit photoshop. Always the same  thing. I read up a little about how to fix it but I haven't found anything that works (I tried the file info>copyright idea and deleting Photoshop's preferences, even getting rid of extra fonts, and clearing the library>cache.) Any ideas? I'm not sure what to do!
    More info:
    It's a psd file.
    There are only 2 layers on the files, one is a vector smart image.
    I opened the file and was able to edit it fine on a friend's computer, no error messages whatsoever - so it's not a corrupt file. (But that doesn't solve my computer's dilemma.)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I have this same problem. I use Font Agent Pro and I only have about 50-ish foundry fonts activated. I'm wondering if anyone else has found a fix? The second I open Photoshop I get an error message and I have to force quit, let's not even begin thinking about opening a file.
    I'm on OSX 10.6.8, running CS4. This is getting frustrating. I'm considering reinstalling the whole suite, there goes my entire evening.

  • How do I update camera raw plugin on photoshop cs4 for mac?

    I've just reinstalled PS cs4 on a new macbook pro - my camera raw files from a canon 5d mark 2 are not being recognized...
    I found out that I need to update the camera raw plugin to version 5.2.  I downloaded the plug in and the computer said it successfully installed the plug in
    but the camera raw files still aren't readable.... Any ideas?

    This the manual installer for camera raw 5.7
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 5.7 update
    The profiles are installed by double clicking on the downloaded Camera_Raw_5.7 dmg and double clicking on the cameraprofiles.mpkg
    Install the camera raw.plugin by going to (Macintosh hard drive)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats and dragging the existing camera raw plugin to the Trash.
    Then drag the new camera raw plugin from the dmg to the same folder.

  • How do you get faux italics in photoshop CS4 for Mac

    I have some text that I need to make faux italics, but since macs do not have a right click, I do not know how to do so.  I have searched every menu and cannot find it.  Any help is appreciated.

    Mac do have a right-click provided you have a two or three button mouse , have had since the begining of OSX. It brings up a Context menu. You can emulate a Right click on a one button mouse, by holding down Control/Alt key then clicking Mouse.

  • Problems with Photoshop cs4 for the Mac

    I am having all kinds of problems with Photoshop CS4 for the Mac.  When I boot the software it seems to work for a while then, I am unable to open upf a file in Photoshop.  I drag a photoshop file over the application icon, the whole screen flickers and nothing happens.  I am unable to quit Photoshop as the quit choice is grayed out and command-q will not make it quit. I have to force quit.  I can repeat this pattern over and over.  What is happening?  How do I solve this problem?

    Thanks for the reply.  I am using  Photoshop 11.0.1.  I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard.  I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now.  My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac.  Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while.  I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply.  Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
    The problems with Photoshop  (starting with just taking a long time to load)  have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software.  I will report if problems go away.
    Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere.  However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
    So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
    Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively?  Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.

  • I want to use my Photoshop CS4 for windows on my iMac.

    I have tried the Adobe site, tried to phone ( no answers and then cut off), left messages...to no avail. How can I use my CS4 on my iMac - I am not inclined to spend ridiculous money on a new licence.
    Thanks to anyone who can help me.
    Adobe site and contacts extremely UNimpressive.

    When you buy Photoshop, you are buying it for a single version, in a single language, on a single platform. If CS4 were still the current version, you could exchange your Windows version for a Mac version. But we no longer sell CS4. Even if you were to find a CS4 for Mac installation disk, your serial number would not work. But I may be able to help you. Send me your serial number: bnemecek [AT] adobe [DOT] com.

  • Photoshop Elements for Mac - Three Versions Installed

    Hi there,
    I'm cleaning up stuff on my iMac and find I have three purchased versions of PhotoShop Elements for Mac installed, V4, V6 and now V8.  Can I safely remove the old V4 and V6 versions without them affecting anything in V8?
    Also, there are other versions of related software, such as Adobe Bridge, then Adobe Bridge CS3 and CS4.  Can the original and CS4 versions be removed.
    What else might have multiple versions relating to Photoshop Elements?
    Can I remove these by simply deleting them from the Applications or is there a process which needs to be followed, i.e., an Uninstall?
    Guidance much appreciated.
    Lynn

    "Never delete anything, just buy a bigger hard drive"!
    After I admit to being "slightly eccentric", let me say I don't know why you even need to uninstall any of them. The only caveat there is you can't run two versions simultaneously.  I have PSE- 5 & 7 installed on one of my computers, and I import the same file into both catalogs, while duplicating the folders on a separate HDD also. You can never be to sure, or is that too insecure, I'm not really sure.
