Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS4 on the same system?

Hi all,
I was wondering is it possible to have both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS4 on my computer at the same time. I heard that this would cause errors, but if there is, is there a work around for it. Thanks in advance.

Quite a few people keep an older version in case there is something not right for them in the newer version.
Just make sure they are installed in that order.
Be prepared to have your file associations changed.
What is you OS by the way?

Lion is Not compatible with PPC (Power PC) based software, such as your older version of PhotoShop. Your choices are you can either upgrade to the newer version of PhotoShop, or you can backup your data and apps, erase your harddrive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
Hope this helps

Running RoboHelp 10 and RoboHelp 11 on the same system

Background
Windows 7, 64-bit operating system.
Upgraded RoboHelp 10 to RoboHelp 11 this week. Upgraded my RH10 WebHelp Proj project (released with our 2.0 application) to start editing for release with 3.0 application next June .
The upgrade did not uninstall RoboHelp 10.
I work from within Visual Studio 2010 Professional. (I know that this is not a Source Control thread, but my issues are intertwined here.)
I create WebHelp Pro (even though we are not yet publishing to RH Server, although we're working on it!).
I check the output into Release folders in Souce Control, and the build picks up the files for installation with our application.
Questions
If I need to update the 2.0 application Help, does anyone know whether I can still use RH10 to update that project? (I've posed the question to an Adobe consultant, but have not yet heard back.)
If I can't use RH10 to update the 2.0 application Help (and have to open the 2.0 project in RH11 and, therefore, upgrade it), are there new things in RH11 that could affect the WebHelp Pro output and, therefore, affect the use of the WebHelp Pro HTM files by the application? (Our release engineer believes that, for version control purposes, I must make changes to the 2.0 project in the same RH Client used to develop it.)
Thanks for any help.

Hi,Carol
First, (and to reiterate what Rick said) if you are not publishing to RoboHelp Server right now. Do NOT use WebHelp Pro. The Pro flavor is strictly for hosting on a RoboHelp Server installation.
The good news is that when and if you do decide to use RoboHelp Server, you simply take the Rh project (whether from Rh 10 or 11) and publish it with the WebHelp Pro SSL. It sounds like there is a some confusion between RoboHelp Server and Source Control. It is a common option to use RoboHelp Server and Source Control. But they are mutually exclusive. (While both may be used, they have nothing to do with one another.)
If you think about it, RoboHelp Server is output (by definition not "source")
So, you can continue using Rh 10 and 11 clients on the same computer, but as you note, you cannot open an Rh 10 project in Rh 11 because it is a one-way forward conversion (as Peter said).
As for publishing, be aware that when you move to RoboHelp Server, the publishing workflow is different. The web admin can't simply copy/paste WebHelp Pro output (from source control as you describe) to the Rh Server (or, as you said, "pick up files"). The project must be published from the RoboHelp 10/11 client directly to the Rh Server. This is because Rh Server is a database application and in order for the database to be "aware" of the new content, it must come from the RoboHelp client app (10 or 11). Also, in terms of Application Help and context sensitivity, there is a CSH API and a syntax that is used to call the Rh Server help topics from the application. This is covered in the online help. See the sub head "Access context-sensitive Help" in the Adobe RoboHelp Server 9 * RoboHelp Server Web Administrator tasks as well as Adobe RoboHelp 11 * Program Help for web pages

Why does Adobe Manager download and install 2 of the same programs?

Am I suppose to get more than one icon for each app? I have a (64bit) and it appears a 32bit both install when I download with Adobe Manager.
I have a fresh install of windows 8. -- probably the issue -- an upgrade from win7. I completely uninstalled all apps, did a fresh install of my upgrade, and kept no files, or settings. It however, did keep somethings with the new window.
Looking in my program list, I have the same program listed in (program files), and in ((86program files)), there is the 64bit program.
It seriously looks like I am downloading and insalling two seperate versions.... why?
I do have another desktop computer, which is older, and running window xp, and it is a 32bit system.
The main cpu I am using is a Dell.... (maybe that's the problem) laptop, Inspiron 1545
help.

For which application are you seeing two versions?
Photoshop installs both 32 and 64 bit versions on a 64-bit system when installing from the Adobe Application Manager using the Creative Cloud subscription.

FCP 6.0.6 and FCE 4 on the same system

Will have these 2 on the same HDD cause an issue? I read a few topics back that have FCP 6 and 7 will cause one. Curious if having these 2 will.
Thanks

You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
When you install Firefox 4 use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profile synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
The following links show how to do this:

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync (only needed for Firefox 3.6, it is built into Firefox 4)

Can FCP 5.1 and 6 be on the same system?

We purchased a new apple system that came with FCP version 6. The rest of our facility is FCP 5.1. We have plans to go to FCP 6 if we get the budget to do the upgrades later this year.
We have an extra FCP license so we'll be installing FCP 5.1 on the system first, but is it possible to run 6 at the same time? We'd like to try it out and learn some of the new features before going full-scale. But at the same time, we'd like version 5.1 to be on there because we bounce from system to system while editing and everything needs to have the same version numbers to do that.
Thanks.

Take one of the non-system internal drives and install OSX, FCP 5.1 etc on that. Why screw around if this is a production operation?
Your new box probably also came with 10.5, no? If everything else is 10.4, how are you going to deal with that?

Version 1 and CS4 on the Same System?

Hello,
I am ready to install the CS4 Production bundle but I have an active project in Encore 1.
I have read that I can not open the V1 files in Encore CS4.
Is there a way to still use the V1 file?
Or can I have V1 installed along with CS4 in order to finish this project?
It is quite involved with a lot of menus and chapter points.
Thanks

Tim,
I'd finish in Encore 1. I did the version 1 to CS2 conversion for another user, and she was able to get about 99% of her Project into CS4. Still, there were a few little problems. Unless you absolutely require something in CS4, I'd not recommend that conversion route.

Can I run FCP7 and FCP X on the same system?

I can't open my FCP 7 projects in FCP X so I will need both programs to run simultaneously so I can access previous work while building new cuts. This seems utterly ridiculous but it appears to be true. Please correct me if I'm wrong since I have more than 400 FCP 7 projects, the majority of which are still ongoing... what do I do to handle this, start from scratch on 400 projects that date back several years... brutal.

Personally, I'd never switch a project in which I've invested time and effort to a new application, other than a test project to begin the investigation into how the new app could work in the future. I don't think "pros" even update an existing app like FCP while in a project unless the update is specifically for an issue they are having with their project. FCP7 is great and will continue to be great, ongoing projects should stay there.
It will be interesting to see as FCP X matures if Apple or a third party develops a way to import FCP7 projects, or at least aspects of it, but as FCP X is such a different approach I wouldn't count on it.
Apparently that means that someday we'll need to "freeze" an FCP7 installed system in time (not today, but in the next year os so) to be able to just work on and have access to FCP7 projects. New and discontinued apps are a fact of life in computer world, as inconvenient as it may be. Operating Systems, and hardware that will run them, go away too. In 20+ years I've had to abandon OS platforms, apps, and documents, or make a switch where I had to start over, but never anything as complex or meaningful as my FCP7 projects.
So, basically, I agree with Tom, I just use a few more words. ::grin::

Any issues with Premiere Pro CC and Avid Media Composer on same system?

Hi all:
Searched around for this but couldn't find similar question.
Am a long time Premiere Pro user, but have something coming up where I'm having to use Avid MC to collaborate with a staff editor for the duration of the job. Am wondering if I should expect any conflicts or issues to installing both Premiere Pro CC and Media Composer on the same system? Any insight would be most welcome.
Running Adobe CC on a Windows 7 HP Z820, Dual Xeon Processors, 128Gb RAM.
Thanks!

hi Jim,
well it turns out that Premiere update 7.2.2. put my computer into disarray, and caused my multi-camera monitor to lag (about 6 seconds) behind my program monitor .. so my my multi-cam monitor (with my 2 or 3 camera feeds) would be playing footage that is 6 seconds or so BEHIND what was playing on the program monitor.
that's the gist of it..
anyway the fine folks at Adobe, talked me through the process of going back to premiere 7.2.0 and that fixed the issue.
i hope future updates resolve this issue so that i can get back up to the minute on my software
thanks

AlChemy stops working when Xonar is installed in the same system as X-Fi?

A while back I tried to use an X-Fi Prelude and Xonar D2 in the same system. For the most part this worked, however AlChemy would no longer allow hardware sound in various games on the X-Fi. The results were the same whether DS3D-GX was turned on or off on the Xonar. Another user on a forum I frequent has been able to replicate the issue with a Creative X-Fi and Xonar Essence STX. Can someone suggest what might be happening and hopefully let me know if there is a work-around?

Try older (year+) xonar drivers. Xonar and X-Fi worked fine for me back in 2009. Recently I re-inserted Xonar with newest drivers for some testing and discovered same bug. I think this may have something to do with more agressi've/reckless hooking in GX service (HrMsg), even if GX disabled in Xonar's CP. Killing this process with task manager seems to fix Alchemy.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download. I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers. I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect. I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own. One is operational and one is dead. I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 and it closes down every time I open it.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 and it closes down every time I open it with the following error: "Photoshop Quit Unexpectedly". Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this?

The first question is have you used this version on this computer with the operating system you have now. The issue might be (if you are on a Mac) that CS2 was a Power PC application and you have upgraded to a new computer with an Intel processor. CS2 will not work on an Intel processor with system (I think) OSX.6 or greater.
If you have used this release on this computer with the same OS, than try deleting the preferences by holding down the Comand/Control-Option-Shift keys when starting the application. You will get a message asking if you want to delete the preferences, say yes.
Let me know if any of these work.

How can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

how can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon. i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer. On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented. On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures. On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file. I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work. I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon? (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
Cheers.

As far as acquiring news versions goes, the only benefit you will get from owning CS4 is that you can get a Creative Cloud subscription at a special rate for the first year. https://creative.adobe.com/#plans
Otherwise, since CS4 is not in the upgrade path for CS6 products, you can purchase CS6 applications at full price.

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image,

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
Thanks.
