Uninstall Photoshop CS4 and CS5

I have Photoshop CS4 and CS5 installed, CS4 also in x64 version.
Also Acrobat Pro.
I'd like to uninstall all Photoshop stuff only, i.e. not Acrobat.
Before proceeding: will the uninstall also remove all the 'other' Photoshop matters?
Bridge, Device Central etc.etc.
Thanks!

  • Photoshop cs4 and cs5 and after effects 7.0

    Hello my name is mel
    My question ! I'm working with photoshop cs4 and after effects 7.0 building a web page and this going to be my first page . I got the header in and the footer also,
    the main body is going to be this avi file. after effect project that I want to run when the page opens. I want to slice up and send to DW for coding . my question is how do you slice this page up and transport it to DW.cs5 and do you have to code the avi in html and css to run when the page is open. Because as now when you run the avi in photoshop nothing elese on the page works , just the avi runs when you turn off the avi then every thing is back normal .to run the avi you have go to the video part of psd and click on the start button . any idea or any suggestion how to proceded would help
    thanks

    we were told in design school to use ps to design your site   then transport to DW to code??
    Maybe I misunderstood you.... You do the graphics in PS, that's of course what everyone does and then you code in DW, but by all means, you do not operate on the atrocious code Save for Web would spit out from PS. Trying to fix it is more trouble than starting with a blank page in DW and inserting the background and otehr images manually. And you definitely misunderstand "animation" vs. "video" After Effects is just a means to turn animation into video just as Flash is a means of creating dynamically rendered animation or interactive content. Both have their uses, but without knowing what kind of animation or video you actually need to produce, this is going nowhere. It may turn out that all you need is an animated GIF, after all... Furthermore your AE 7 is dated and does not output good H.264 or FLV directly compared to more recent versions, so this opens up yet anotehr can of worms when it comes to producing good quality web video at small file sizes... In any case, you still require a lot of reading. Too complex a topic for which nobody can provide a tippy-toe tutorial and without understanding even some basic concepts, the most beautifully designed PS grafik will end up being nothing more than a useless lump of pixels on a web server...

  • Unable to Uninstall Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4

    it's been a couple of days since i tried out Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4 to see how they compare to the CS3 versions, it worked fine and all till suddenly it stopped working, so i been trying to uninstall/reinstall to get it working under the free trial limit i still have left (27 days as of this writing) it still will not work.
    Sometimes i would install Photoshop/Dreamweaver and say an error occurred and some components were unable to install and would be unable to load the file even after doing what the instructions say...
    Same goes for when i try to uninstall both Photoshop/Dreamweaver, i would try to uninstall and would still remain in my program files...
    I am completely stumped on what to do, i can't even re-install photoshop/dreamweaver cs3 as well due to this...
    I am running on Vista 32bit SP1 Pack on HP Pavilion, i want to completely get rid of CS4 versions and go back to my reliable CS3 again, any help please would be greatly appreciated.

    John... if you read what I said you would of caught that i did do it:
    "did what was suggested, worked like a charm for the CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 but although it did work on Photoshop CS4. it did something i was dumbfounded to see, it did something odd in which it took out the Uninstall/Change tab option for removing programs (I was viewing it to see if it uninstalled completely) also it brought out a bunch of programs that weren't in that section before and was unable to uninstall/remove them.
    So i had to do a system restore point to go back and try again. After doing it two more times (ya two!) still doesn't work, i am 7 hours into trying to resolve this... sigh. "
    At that time i said i had done it 2 times, 3 in total, i am on try #6 all with the same results with the exact after effects once i restart my PC.
    Here's what it does to tell what goes on:
    1) after installing microsoft's cleaner then opening up the cs4 cleaner under admin, it does its thing, it asks me if i wish to remove Flash Player 10 after choosing remove Photoshop CS4, now here i done both remove Flash Player and not remove it with the same results, losing the uninstall/change option on the control panel, which frustrates me.
    2) After seeing that i try to install Photoshop CS4 again, once its done, i open it up, try to go to the trial option where as i stated previously says there's an error and can't open the trial page which would open up Photoshop completely but since it can't i cannot go beyond that window.
    3) So ya... i try ONCE again to do it all over after restarting and SAMETHING! no uninstall/change option appearing and unable to open up Photoshop CS4 in which i resort to doing a system restore again and trying once more.
    NOW, one would think that after the first 3 times it should be working properly, i mean I thought it would after removing both Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 it's bound to do the same for Photoshop CS4, but it doesn't completely create a "FREASH" install. It's like it still remembers what messed up functions it still had and what's up with it removing the uninstall/change option? that just bogles my mind.
    i tried many things, re-downloading the trial from adobe, etc i never would of thought just one program could cost me so much wasted time just to get it working and it's a free trial nonetheless so excuse me John Joslin if your remark kind of bugs me, I need some assistance/advice on trying to correct this problem, not a
    "It should have done!
    Run it a few times. "
    comment that's already common knowledge for me in what I have already been doing long before your post.

  • Can I run Photoshop CS4 and CS5 on the same system?

    I read somewhere a zillion years ago (right?) that you coould run CS4 and CS5 on the same system but at the time I wasn't even considering it.
    Run on the same system - not ness to run at the same time
    Or should I install it on a seperate drive (bootable) and go that route. What has everyone found to work and/or not work?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    BJ

    Yes, you can run CS4 an CS5 on the same computer.  They install in different folders and don't get in each other's way.  As a matter of fact, you will find many posts in this forum from the experts recommending to keep CS4 (or an earlier version) when installing CS5.  This way, there is no danger of losing any older plug-ins you may have that aren't compatible to CS5.
    When I installed PS CS5 I had problems with my scanner driver.  Instead of spending loads of time fixing that problem, I just use PS CS4 when I want to spend an afternoon scanning things. I'm not recommending that "lazy man's" solution, but it is an example of how CS4 and CS5 can be used on the same system.

  • I uninstalled Photoshop CS4 and now my Photoshop CS6 says that some Support files are missing

    It tells me to re-install the CS6 programme.  Surely vital files should not have been removed when using the uninstaller of an older version?  If I have to re-install CS6, do I first have to uninstall it too?

    Thanks very much for your help!  I also have CS5 on my computer (I want to keep it as I have the Picture Package plugin which does not run on CS6 - the many requests for it appear to have fallen on deaf ears).  If I use  the Adobe CS Cleaner Tool after uninstalling CS6, will it remove CS5 as well?  If so, this nonsense is quickly becoming a nightmare!  Incidentally, I'm now getting the same warning about missing files when I open CS5.  I wonder if I should simply re-install CS4!
    Actually, despite the warning notices, CS6 still appears to be working.  I haven't fully tested it but the basic functions are working normally, so I'm not sure what the missing files are designed to do.
    I tried to get help via Online Chat but all that the non-technical operator could offer was a phone number which I'm not prepared to use, from New Zealand.  They surely should have technicians able to address these sort of questions using the Chat system, especially as they do not have an email contact method!  And why don't they?!
    Do Adobe employees ever visit these forums? 

  • Mouse randomly jumping while using most tools in Photoshop CS4 and CS5.

    Hi,
    I have recently been using my photoshop cs5 when all of a sudden the mouse has began to jump and move randomly when I am using some of the tools. For example, when I use the eraser tool it will not always, but frequently erase something in a random position on the page, and this is becoming a pain as I can be editing something zoomed right in and zoom out to find random areas of my drawing gone which can be very frustrating, but this problem is not restricted to the eraser tool, when I transform shapes with the transform tool occassional it will stretch the shape 4000pixels wide when I only go to increase it by 5, or when i try to move it, it just disappears and I find it outside of the drawing canvas.
    This is really causing alot of issues for me, so how can I resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Ben.

    Ok I am going to toss some thing out, they may sound silly or redundant but these are things we simply do not know that could cause issues.
    What type of mouse pad do you have?
    Highly reflective or worn smooth mouse pads or using desktop surfaces rather then a mouse pad can cause light distortion and cause jumppy behavior uneven survaces or highly reflective survfaces are bad too. the same can be said about overly light absorbent surfaces. as they can spread the light. Like if you are like me and have a wide arm cloth chair, you still need a mouse pad on the arm of the chair or your mouse pointer will jump as it travels accross the uneven surface.
    Do you have any other usb devices installed?
    Are you plugged into a USB hub and not the computer directly?
    Is it possable its your keyboard thats causing the issue. Unplug the KB then see if the mouse still jumps.
    let me know if any of this helpped.

  • Color change printing in Photoshop CS4 and CS5

    I have an Epson Stylus R1800. When I print something in CS5 it has different colors than printing in CS5. I checked the color settings and color mode and everything is the same. What settings did I missed, that I get such a different result?
    Jutta

    Sounds like you have the same problem as the Epson 2800. There is a post in here somewhere. The problem is with the Epson drivers. The person ended up buying a Epson 3800 If I remember correctly and had no more issues. His problem was with Red color cast or something like that.
    You may want to get with Epson. Older printer, no new drivers on a new OS with PS CS5 was not a good combo.

  • Installation/uninstall issues between CS4 and CS5

    I had CS4 installed. I purchased CS5 (downloaded it) installed that.  When I got the disks via mail, I tried to install that version (disk version).  I started having issues as to which program would open a .prproj file.  Often the CS4 version of Premiere Pro opened.  Not what I wanted.  I eventually uninstalled CS5 entirely and then reinstalled.  Then things were working fine.  However, I then tried to uninstall CS4.  (I have seen from numerous posts/comments to leave both on -- which I really don't know why.  Doesn't make sense to keep both versions).  I prefer not to have an extra 4GB of space used for programs I am no longer using.  However, in doing so, the uninstall didn't appear to do a perfect job.  And now I can't double-click a .prproj file.  This icon is also blank white.  I went into Set Associations and I can't assign .prproj to Premiere CS5.  In looking at the Open With window, I notice that some of the icons for other Adobe programs are all splewy (Adobe Encore is using the CS4 icon, Adobe Illustrator is using the PDF icon, Flash Catalyst is using the Air icon, etc.)
    I could: a) uninstall everything, including Adobe Acrobat Pro (which I had purchased and installed prior to CS4 or CS5) and then reinstall everything -- sheesh that would take a while; or b) I could ask my friends here to explain and guide me!

    Hi Stix, Thanks.
    I am not so positive that there is no difference between the download version vs the media version specifcially because in downloading the updates, the site demands you choose your update depending on how your software was installed.  I figured that the download would be smaller.  Perhaps you are right. And maybe it is the same, in either case, when I get a stack of disks, I tend to think there is more on the disk and the download version is merely the core applications.
    Anyway, I had to uninstall everything CS4 and CS5 and then reinstall CS5.  Oddly, this didn't automatically fix my problem.  However, at least I was able to choose Premiere CS5 to open .prproj files and check off the box to use it as the default. (I wasn't able to before).  So now it works!

    Without knowing exactly what the bug is in the Akvis code, I don't know.
    But some third party plugins always need an update when new versions of Photoshop are released (especially those that try to modify Photoshop's UI).
    We work hard to maintain plugin API compatibility, and most plugins work just fine in new versions, but there are always some problems to work out in third party plugin code.
    (Macintosh plugins are going through a lot of problems in CS5 because we had to change the UI toolkit used, and many assumptions made by plugin UI code no longer hold)

  • Uninstalling Photoshop CS4 from a Mac with Yosemite, which cannot open CS4.

    Ok. That should be fine. There is a CS/CC Cleaner tool as well.  It removes installation records according to the description.

  • Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

    Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

    Versions of Photoshop have different installation trees and user preferences.  You do not merge Photoshop versions. Each version is independent.  When you install newer versions of Photoshop the are options to migrate your presets and Preferences. You can start and use any version installed on your machine.  For the most part newer version of Photoshop are backwards compatible with older versions of Photoshop. However some changes  Adobe make to Photoshop change user interfaces and and the way Photoshop performs some functions these changes break some user actions, scripts and user work-flows.  In fact all the version you listed CS4, CS5 and CS6 have comparability issues.  In that respect Photoshop CC is not any better it has compatibility issues.  
    Newer versions of Photoshop have new functions and updated old function.  Older versions can not handle everything save by newer versions of Photoshop. If you save PSD and PSB files with the maximum compatibility option checked. Older version should be able to open you layer document with layers that look like what was saved though some layer may be altered and may even be a different layer kind then was saved. If you need to support older versions of Photoshop always use the maximum compatibility option.

  • Compatability between CS4 and CS5 Flash?

    Hi
    I'm working off  CS4 and using mainly Premiere Pro. I'm also using Photoshop, Flash,  Soundbooth from CS4 and using files from those applications in Premiere  Pro. All good so far. My projects have a few layers but really nothing  too complicated.
    I work with someone who will eventually  create the flash elements of our projects. To do this the company  ordered further licenses for CS4 but we received CS5 instead.
    If she loads CS5 onto her computer and creates Flash files (CS5) that I then use in Premiere Pro CS4, will it be compatible?
    Also, if I want to then adjust that CS5 flash file in Flash CS4, will that work, or will I encounter problems?
    Should we go with the CS5 or try and get another copy of CS4 for the new computer? (My computer needs to stay CS4)
    Thanks

    So as far as Premiere is concerned you are importing Quicktime MOV files from Flash?
    When you import MOV files into Flash they are frame-by-frame animations taking up frames on the timeline, either on the main stage or in a Movie Clip.  There is a limit in Flash in general to the number of frames you can have in a single animation, something like 16000 or 12000 frames.  Depending on your fps this could be a relatively short or longer amount of time that the animation will play.  I don't think there will be as many issues importing and exporting between Premiere Pro and Flash as there are with Flash CS4 and CS5 itself.  TLF is a framework for laying out text (Text Layout Framework) which allows you some functionality of InDesign-style text-box layouts such as multi-columns, tracking and kerning, etc.

  • High pitch noise in CS4 and CS5.5

    Hello.
    Firstly I want to say that yes I know people have asked this question before but as far as I can tell none of them have been solved. Some have somewhat useful answers but none of them truely solve the problem. This thread in particular probably has the most information about the problem I'm having http://forums.adobe.com/message/4298535#4298535
    I recently tried Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS4 (trial version) to replace my Corel Video Studio X6 which tried to replace Windows Movie Maker. Video Studio and Movie Maker both crash whenever I imported large video files.
    Anyway I'm getting a problem where the video files I import to Premiere Pro CS4 and CS5.5 have a high pitch noise in the video preview.
    It's a high pitch noise almost like it's getting feedback from something. Also when someone is supposed to be talking there's a very low distortion, like the audio started playing in very slow motion but the high pitch noise is still present.
    I'll put a link at the end with the video file that's giving me trouble.
    The video and audio are in a single AVI file. The video format is H264 shot at 60fps and the audio should be Mpeg-1 L2, 48khz at 320kbps. I don't know if the video's audio is in 24bit or 16bit.
    I've tried different settings for premiere. Trying 60fps and 30fps for the framerate for the project. Trying 44khz and 32khz and 96khz didn't fix it. Using the "Desktop" preset in CS4 and Custom for CS5.5.
    My audio hardware is a Logitech G930. It's a wireless USB headset with microphone. My motherboard audio is Realtek HD Audio. Both are enabled but I only use the headset now and nothing is being sent to the Realtek audio chip (according to Windows' sound options). The headset plays audio at 16bit 48khz.
    The video file plays fine in every media program I own that can play the h264 codec. With the exception of Movie Maker and Video Studio x6. Video Studio will preview the video and audio just fine but when I try and skip around the program hangs and crashes. Movie Maker just plain crashes when I try and import the video. Some of the programs that can play the video are VLC, Media Player 11, and Media Player Classic.
    I'm not sure if Final Cut Pro has the same problem. I don't have a Mac so I can't test it.
    Here's a sample video that works the way it should. I pulled a BIK file from a game and converted it to H264 in AVI. Not sure what it's audio format is.
    http://www.mediafire.com/watch/15fr85n78xfu94x/Opening_Cinematic_Placeholder.avi
    Just click the download button at the top right.
    Here's an afflicted file. Not the exact specific file I have been talking about, but it has the same codecs. This one is shorter in length and smaller in size. It still has the high pitch noise, but since there is no one talking in this you don't hear the weird low pitch distortions.

    If there's anymore infor you need let me know.

  • Is it possible to have Indesign CS4 and CS5.5 both installed on the same Mac? 10.6.8

    We have a bunch of recent Intel macs at our corporation.  Currently they should all have 10.6.8.  They were all imaged from a base image that has Adobe CS4 embedded in it. 
    We are now using a packaging software part of the JAMF Casper suite and AAMIE to push CS5.5 to the end users.
    The problem is that we want to keep CS4 on the end user's computers in case of issues.  That way the end users can try Indesign 5.5 and see if it does everything they need to do and still have Indesign for backwards compatiblity.
    So we created a CS5.5 install package using the AAMIE tool which works fine.  We then use Casper to spam the package out to a Mac.
    The issue that arises is that a few Plugin errors occur during the lauch of Indesign CS5.5 such as:
    Adobe inDesign does not recognize InCopy Bridge UI.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyExport.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyExportUI.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    Adobe InDesign does not recognize InCopyImport.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in.
    There was one more plugin error that occured before the first one but I forgot to write it down.
    If we click okay to them, the application launches okay but when you quit and relaunch it, you still get one of the errors.
    Is this because both applications are installed at the same time?
    Is it offically okay as per Adobe to have Indesign CS4 and CS5.5 installed on the same Macintosh?
    What else should we be considering what to do?

    Well currently, I'm just testing this issue.  I just installed the trial version of  Adobe CS4 suite on my mac and then deployed the CS5.5 package on top off it  The resulting errors that I listed above are the same ones that occur when the end user has a licensed volume license install of CS4 and CS5.5.
    So I'm still back to square 1 where when I deploy cs5.5 on an  end user's mac, they get those plugin errors when they launch Indesign CS5.5.  
    I am not sure about the licensing restrictions, I asked my Director and he is going to check with our VAR.

  • Fontproblems and fontcaches in Illustrator CS4 and CS5

    Hello all,
    I've been having a serious and severe problem using Ilustrator and fonts.
    As this is a very complex problem to explain, I'll try to make it easy to understand.
    First I'll tell you the specifications and software used:
    Imac 27 inch running  MAC OS X 10.6.7 with follow software:
    Illustrator CS4 + Illustrator CS5, both installed
    Fontreserve (running a central server and macs connect through a MAC-client) http://www.extensis.com/en/support/font-reserve.jsp
    So we use an external third party fontsoftware to manage and activate our fonts used in Illustrator.
    We only have the required system fonts installed on our systems.
    We recently ran in a big issue concerning fonts within Illustrator.
    I'll try to explain what the problem really is ...
    So normally we boot up Illustrator and we activate our fonts in fontreserve.
    The fonts get loaded in Illustrator. So that does work like it should.
    But the problem begins when we deactivate fonts.
    Font reserve does deactivate them and in Illustrator the deactivated fonts are gone or so it seems ...
    After a restart, I only start Illustrator. So our client fontreserve stays closed.
    I opened the job I worked on before the restart and Illustrator opens the document and loads the fonts.
    You read it right, Illustrator does find all the fonts which, before the restart, were deactivated.
    Where does he gets those fonts?
    So I started to investigate and tried a couple of things.
    1) I physically moved the fontreserve-plugin out Illustrator so it will not be loaded on startup.
    That didn't fix it because Illustrator still finds the fonts.
    2) I physically plugged out the network cable to be sure Illustrator could not contact our fontserver.
    Sadly he still did find the fonts.
    3) I used "Tweak Freak" to clear my fontcaches. I also searched for "AdobeFnt" to clean out the cache from Adobe itself.
    This did not work either.
    4) I tried opening the document again but this time in CS5. And guess what? Illustrator CS5 asks for all the fonts that are missing, which is correct because not one font has been activated.
    Strangly enough I decided to reopen Illustrator CS4 (Illustrator CS5 still beiing open as well), and suddenly Illustrator CS4 asks for the fonts too?
    A minute ago he still found all the fonts and after opening Illustrator CS5, it does not ...
    So Adobe what is the connection between Illustrator CS4 and CS5?
    And where does Illustrator store its fontcache?
    It would be nice to run a script on shutdown te delete all possible fontcaches.
    So after spending a couple of hours fixing this problem, it seems that I still don't quite understand where the problem lies.
    I'm hoping you can.
    As this is an urgent matter, I hope to get an answer or support as soon as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to see what files Adobe Illustrator has open by using the Activity Monitor.app application.
    To do so, open the Activity Monitor application (it's in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder). Locate Adobe Illustrator in the list and then double-click on it. This should open up a new window like shown in the image below:
    Switch to the Open Files and Ports tab, and it should list every open file that Illustrator is using.

Maybe you are looking for
