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.

Project Server 2010 compatibility with IE11 and Windows 8.1

Hi All!
Maybe a silly question since compatibility is always asked about older versions, but here is my question:
Is Project Server 2010 compatible with IE11 and Windows 8.1?
I personnaly tested with IE11 and it seems to be ok. All views and pages can be opened with IE11.
But what about windows 8.1?
Has Microsoft done any communication about this?
Thanks in advance for your helps.

I am seeing a minor issue with the timesheet grid after users are upgraded from IE8 to IE11.
We are using Project Server 2010 with SP1 and Oct 2013 CU.
When some users (using IE11) switches between filters or views in the Timesheet page, the grid shrinks making to content un readable. The only way to get it back is to refresh the page. After a refresh, the grid returns to normal size, but the pane
divider is too far to the left and always must be dragged to the right in order to see the task names in the left grid.

Photoshop CS5 interface locking up and windows disappearing in OSX Mountain Lion?

Hi,
This has suddenly started happening to me using Photoshop CS5 on my mac running the latest version of Mountain Lion. When I open a PSD file at first it doesn't appear to be there. If I check under the "view" menu the interface says that the document is open. If I use tab to switch between views, the document appears and the palettes on the right disappear. Tab again and the interface reappears around the document, palettes are still gone but they are replaced by transparent grey blocks where the palettes should be. I can't bring up any new palettes and I can't move the document window. If I have multiple documents open, one remains in front even though the titles in the title bar change.
I've reinstalled Java. Unistalled and reinstalled Photoshop CS5 but nothing is working. I've opened Photoshop CS3 and it works fine.
Has anybody else expereinced this or have any idea what's going on?
Thanks for any advice

Hi Chris,
No I don't have any utilities or haxies. The only thing that I know I did before the issue was remove a trial version of Flash CS6 and I installed Flash CS3 (I was working with an old FLA and the new text tools in Flash CS5 were making editing difficult). That's why I thought reinstalling Photoshop might help. I thought perhaps I'd overwritten or removed an important file. There have also been a few minor updates to the OS recently.
I ran a diagnostic with tech tool pro and as far as it can tell the video card is good.
Regarding Java: when OSX Lion came out users were required to download and install run time for Java in order for Adobe Products to function. Some of the issues seemed similar to what I'm experiencing. This is from adobe help: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/install-java-jre-mac-os.html

Photoshop CS5 - Compatibility with "Canon Easy Photo Print Pro"

Hi,
I have just downloaded and installed the trial version of Photoshop CS5, only to discover that in the Automate option (Under Files), Canon's Easy PhotoPrint Pro is no longer listed.
Canon have advised that it is not their problem.
I found that with Photoshop CS3, that this method of printing, provided most accurate colours,
I would be interested in other subscribers, who have CS5 and who print with the Canon Pixma Pro 9000,
(1) Have you found a method of using Canon Easy Photo Print Pro, and if not
(2) What settings do you find give the best results from your printer - What options do you select in the print dialogue box, etc.
Brian

Hi,
Thanks for this information - Canon came back to me with a similar responce.
Pending a resolution, which allows something similar to Canon's Easy PhotoPrint Pro to be installed as an "Add-in" to Photoshop CS5, I plan to allow Photoshop to manage colours.
This requires you to disable the printer from managing colours.
For those who have a similar problem and are not sure, how to disable Colour Management in the Pixma Pro 9000, the following is a quote from Canon:
Thank you for contacting Canon Support. Your reference/ticket number is 1031274.
We are sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your Canon Pro9000.
Please go to the 'Printing Preferences' and then select the 'Main' tab.
Here you will see a 'Colour / Intensity' option, make sure this is set
to 'Manual'. The 'Set' button will now appear active, press this button
and then go to the 'Matching' tab. Once here make sure 'Colour Correction'
is set to 'None'. This will deactivate the colour management completely.
Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us
on the telephone number below ensuring to quote your Canon Helpdesk ticket
number noted in the subject line above. Alternatively, you can reply directly
to this email by navigating to the link below.
Best regards,
Wayne Hudson – Canon Support Centre

I hope that will be of help.

Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

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 Photoshop CS5 compatible with Windows 8?

My computer died and I have to buy a new one which will probably come with Windows 8. Is Photoshop CS5 compatible with Windows 8? I can't seem to find a straight answer.

It is not officially supported as the OS was not available with CS5 was written. It will work on it however.
From what I have read Win 8 is a step down from Win 7 from a purely operational view. It also has an annoying problem with the screen blinking with many of the video cards. So see if you really like the features of Win8 before committing. Win7 should still be available but you would have to make it a special request.

Photoshop CS5 32 Bit Installation Errors, Windows 7 Ultimate

Today I did a second install of Photoshop CS5, in a 32 bit Windows 7 virtual machine that is otherwise in fine health (up to date, yada yada).
The Photoshop installer package I had used prior to do a perfectly successful installation on my x64 Windows 7 system didn't have quite as good luck on my 32 bit system... It wouldn't do a default install at all, and even when I disabled UAC and configured all the options disabled (no need for 'em for my testing), it still emitted some errors - though in the latter case it actually completed the Photoshop installation and I was able to run Photoshop.
Note that after the first failure I disabled UAC. All installs done from an administrator account, though I did not run the installer as administrator while UAC was on.
This is not a big deal - what I needed to test with did finally get installed, but I thought Chris or someone at Adobe might like to know what the installer barfed on. Here's what it reported:

This is for people who might find this thread via a search:
The errors I reported above (e.g., those with the .otf fonts) are related to the configuration of the "3 gigabyte address space" option, invoked by the switch /3GB in boot.ini (XP) or bcdedit /set increaseuserva 3072 (Windows 7 and Vista), which is what I was experimenting with when doing this installation.
I dropped back to the default 2 GB setting (bcdedit /set increaseuserva 2048) and tried a reinstall to confirm, and indeed the install went through smoothly.
Trying to increase your address space in a Windows 32 bit operating system through tweaking has known downsides; consider moving up to an x64 operating system instead to be able to access more RAM.

Problem with touchpad and Windows 8.1. Acer Aspire E5-511

I bought an Acer Aspire E5-511, but I have problem with touchpad and Windows 8.1.The touchpad (Synaptics) is not working with Windows 8.1 x64, but it works fine with Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64.When I install Windows 8.1 and have to choose” language to install” I can’t choose anything with the touchpad. I should plug in my mouse to continue. I doesn’t work even when it’s fully installed and with latest driver (available only for win 8.1 x64) from Acer’s website. I tried with an older driver, but had no success. I updated BIOS, but it doesn’t work again. In hardware IDS in device manager it shows HID\… not ACPI\… (like win 7/8). Fn+F7 doesn’t help.When I try to install Windows7/8 the touchpad is working properly at the beginning (I can choose ”language to install”, “Time and currency format”… and the touchpad works after install even without driver).

SOLUTION So guys after deep research and troubleshooting I found that you need to keep notice of a few things at time of installation: Installation Mode: UEFI (only)- LEGACY would create touchpad issues. after installation of windows just follow the driver installation hierarchy 1.Intel NB_Chipset_M Baytrail-M 2.Intel I/O Driver then rest of the crap. Note:After doing all this make sure your touchpad is active >> Fn+F7 Just wished if this solution came from an acer executive , the world would have been a better place , but anyways this is what community is for. Enjoy everyone

External Hard Drive Compatible with Mac and Windows?

So my old laptop is a Dell Latitude and I bought a Western Digital external hard drive and put all my files/pics/music on it. The information the WD came with said its compatible with Mac and Windows, but when I plug it into my brand spankin new Macbook, it doesn't register with the computer and won't show up. What's going on?
Message was edited by: philliesphan

I recently ran into that problem. In order to have the hard drive compatible for both PC and Mac it must be in a FAT32 format. In order to do this though all your files will be deleted (in order to reformat). You can do this by plugging in the hard drive into you mac and going under disk utility and there you will find your hard drive and under erase change the format to FAT32 and then you press erase (all will be deleted off the external drive though)

Cannot convert webpages to pdf using Acrobat X Pro with IE9 and Windows 7, worked fine until a few m

Cannot convert webpages to pdf using Acrobat X Pro with IE9 and Windows 7, worked fine until a few months and updates ago

I tried your suggestion, not knowing that the direct pdf printer would also "save as" PDF, but when I try your suggestion and use the Adobe PDF printer that is a direct creation of the PDF from the browser (IE9), instead of the "black out" areas I get when I use the "Convert to" button, I get missing blocks of the resulting PDF, and only get the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the webpage.
Just to clarify, when I said I print the webpage and then scan, that is a work around I have to do if I need a scanned version of the way a webpage appears on a particular date and time, instead of the one step process I used to be able to do when Adobe Acrobat would actually convert the webpage to a pdf without blackout areas or, if I try your suggestion, blank spots with a partial webpage. But the idea was one I had not thought of and I appreciated the thought.
Yes, Acrobat was updated, and is updated, and was working fine until a few months ago, Win 7 and Office 32 bit versions, Office 2010
