Adobe Photoshop CS4 Blend Effects HELP !!!

hey is there someone who know how to view already applied blend effects the bad news is that I have the portable version and there is no other file except the .png file what I create with saving the layer ??? please help [removed private info]

portable version of what? Photoshop? there's no such thing (pirated copies don't count). And in case that you're talking about the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) file format, Photoshop flattens the image when saving to it so there's no way to recover the applied Layer Styles

Problem installing Adobe Photoshop CS4. Please help me.

Hi Geeks,
I am stuck with Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) installation since last two days. I am desperately looking for help to get rid of this problem.
My Problem:
At the end of installation of Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) i was prompted with en error
message stating some of the components were not installed. When I check the more information button provided in the error message window, it showed below error.
“Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.”
Still I could find the installed Photoshop in C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe
When I executed above file; application showed below error message and close it.
“Some of the application components are missing from the application directory, Please reinstall the application.”
I just try to run Adobe Device Central CS4 which was installed along with it. It showed below error message.
“The Localized resource files for this application could not be loaded. Please reinstall or repair the application and try again.”
So My Problem is I am unable to open Photoshop CS4 after its unsuccessful installation.
I spent more than a day in different ways as I explained below in more info section. I am desperately looking for helping hands to fix this problem.
I ever find this kind of difficulty with any other components installation in my 10 years of development experience. Please help me.
More info:
(1) I have downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) in this month (July 09) from adobe official site.
(2) My PC OS Windows XP SP3.
(3) Prior to install Photoshop CS4 I had Acrobat reader 8 and Adobe DW CS4.
(4) After I read some stuff on net, I downloaded both Windows install Clean up and CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe.
(5) First I uninstalled all DW CS4 and Photoshop CS4 using add/remove then rebooted.
then ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe (which really did not removed as it did not
find any Adobe component), then installed Photoshop CS4. No luck. same error.
(6) This time I ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe and removed DW CS4, Photoshop CS4 and flash and rebooted. Then I ran Photoshop CS4 as Administrator. Same thing repeated at the end of installation and when I tried to open the photoshop. Finding a real hard time with it.
Any kind of help to get rid of this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
R Sunil.

PS CS4 software itself has to be installed as Admin. Put the downloaded folder on the desktop (if not there already). Open the folder and right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin.
Install on C drive is the best stable choice.
Before you do all this make the anti-virus is turned off. If windows defender is running turn that off too. If Adobe reader is installed renove that. Ensure no other adobe products are running in the background.
During install the process will hang at 90 percent for about 10 to 15 mins. This is normal.
After the software is installed reboot computer.
After reboot go to start, All Programs and right click on PS CS4. Click on properties, Compatibility and check run as Admin. Hit Apply and OK to close. Run PS CS4 and update to 11.0.1
Be Advised:
Now the biggest problem you might run into is that the trial install went too far and failed. If this happened you cannot re-install PS CS4 trial because of the DRM that is hidden in the registry hive. The hidden DRM prevents people from installing the trial more then once and limits the trial at 30 days. There is nothing you can do other then nuking the hard drive and a fresh install of your operating system.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 and GIMP Help

I think I am fairly computer literate and I enjoy trying things out before having to consult with the owners manual but two programs that absolutely stump me are Adobe and Gimp. I hope I am in the right area because I need help understanding how to use either of those programs on my macbook. I would like to make simple website banners and myspace type comment boxes and i've had such a hard time comprehending those programs. I've done many google searches for tutorials and majority of them teach on a level of intermediate users. I've never used either program.
Or if anyone knows of a simple banner making program, please enlighten me.

It is true that the use of a specific program not made by Apple is well outside the scope of this particular forum, although it isn't wrong to ask around. (For example, if someone has an Apple Aperture question, you don't ask it here, you ask it in the Aperture forum, even though Aperture runs on OS X.)
It sounds like you might actually want to pick up a book about the basics of digital painting programs in general. When making graphics as simple as web banners, the functions provided by Photoshop and GIMP are so standard that other programs imitate them. Meaning if you don't have those down yet, you'll have trouble with any program you try. If you have problems understanding these core functions at an intermediate level, you probably should take some tutorials at a basic level, like the QuickStart guides or Classroom in a Book type of guides (I'm thinking of the printed books of this type), hopefully some concentrating on web graphics.
If we were to lay out what to do in Photoshop or GIMP to make a web banner, it would be: Make a new document the size of the allotted space on the web page, in pixels. Use the type tool and graphics tools to create the banner graphics. Save a copy of the document in the web file format required for insertion into the web page.
If you need more details than that, you do need more grounding than should be provided in a forum that's intended to discuss an operating system.

Adobe photoshop cs4 graphics card acceleration help!

Need a little help,
everytime i start cs4, it says "adobe photoshop cs4 now includes graphics card acceleration. we recomend you vist your video card manufacturers website and download and install latest drives.
I am running vista 64 bit and a ati radeon hd 4800 series card "4870 to be exact" and under properties it is 8.612.0.0, but when i follow the adobe link and it brings me to the site it has version 9.5?? i clicked update driver and it says its upto date, is this a problem, and why does it show this everytime photoshop starts?
thanks

Go to this site and download the 9.9 driver set. The 9.5 driver set had a streaming problem that had to be fixed with a hotfix. I have the 4870 also and the 9.9 drivers are stable and have no issues with PS CS4 on vista 64 bit.
http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx
Sometimes it is better not to change drivers if you don't have issues. But the 9.5 set has issues.
Make sure you un-install the old drivers. When you click on the Icon and start the install it will unpack as normal but you will come upon a screen to install or uninstall. Choose uninstall to remove the old driver package. Reboot. Then click on the icon again, it will unpack and you will get the screen again so choose install. Reboot after install.
If I remember correctly the 9.5 drivers, after install, did not show the reboot screen. You still have to reboot.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 runnig error - cant load files

hi,
ive first time installed adobe cs software in my pc. i have never used this software before nor its previous version.
when i try to run adobe photoshop cs4 - it gives me error after loading for few things that "A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue, please re-install the application"
ive re installed the application several times but that same error continues.
any help will b welcomed
thank you

OK. This error drove me nuts and I have seen a thousand different "solutions" posted on various forums (none of which actually worked), but I think I found the magic bullet for this problem. This appears to be a result of corrupted/missing language pack files. Here's what I did to resolve it once and for all!
You should already have a folder somewhere with the contents/Setup.exe for CS4 Design Premium
Download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
Unpack the contents to a folder/directory somewhere on your PC
You will NOT be installing the Photoshop CS4 Extended application - only copying some files.
Copy the "extensions" folder from Photoshop CS4 Extended, that you just downloaded to your CS4 Design Premium folder (there should be an "extensions" folder already there as well)
Select yes if prompted to replace existing files/folders.
Double-click the Setup.exe in your CS4 Design Premium directory and re-start the installation of Photoshop from there.
Problem should be solved.

Photoshop CS4 in-application help

I am using the trial Photoshop CS4 and cannot get the in-application Help to work. the CS3 Help works just fine.
When I launch Help from the Menu bar I am directed to the Adobe Site.
When I launch the Adobe Help application from the Applications folder, I get the Help window, and when I click on the 'Help for' menu and Choose 'Adobe Photoshop CS4' I get this
"This topic is in the Help system of another product. To view the topic, install that product. file:///Library/Application%20Support/Adobe/Help/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/help.html'
I need 'Help' with 'Help'.

What Buko says.
Also, when you've opened that page, you'll see a little (
very little) PDF icon at the top there, which gives you the option of downloading the whole Help site as a 40+MB PDF document to your drive. Useful if you're always connected to the Internet, but it has the downside of not benefiting from updates, additions and corrections.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 has Stopped Working on Windows 7

Hey guys and girls. I recently got a new computer running Windows 7 64bit. I still have good ol photoshop cs4 and wanted to use it on this new computer. The install process was completed and as I started the program, I get the "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working" box. I've looked through some forums, and a lot of them mention the wacom tablet issue, which is not the issue since I've yet to install the drivers for my tablet. Has anyone come across this problem at all? This is what shows up when I get that error box.
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERCA9F.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE1B8.tmp.appcompat.txt
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE246.tmp.mdmp
Please help, thanks in advance

The first thing that I would do is insure that you have the latest video driver installed (but do keep any older ones, just in case you must roll-back - newest is not always the best).
If that does not help, then open Even Viewer, and check for all warning, or error messages in System and Application tabs, for the time that PS crashed. If you find any with links, follow those links - be patient, as some might take a few moments to send data to MS, and then for MS to process it, to open the proper page for that link plus the data gathered. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail, and I do not think that it is too Adobe Premiere-centric.
Good luck,

Adobe Photoshop CS4/5 Crashes when using the Move Tool

Hello. I'm here because I'm having an issue with Photoshop.
I was trying out CS5 when it started to crash every time I tried to use the Move Tool. It was the generic error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working.
A problem has caused Adobe Photoshop CS4 to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Thinking that it was a CS5 issue, I went back to my copy of CS4, only to find the same thing happening there (I also downgraded because CS5 was also crashing at other random times for some reason, but that's an issue for another time).
This puzzles me because both were working fine before. Granted, I hadn't opened them for a while, but it was a sudden thing.
My first impulse was to uninstall and reinstall CS4. No luck. So then, I uninstalled all third-party plugins, thinking that might be it. Still, the same problem. I started looking around on Google for solutions and found the instructions on resetting the Tool preferences (I chose to reset the preferences for ALL of the tools). When that didn't work, I tried deleting the preferences file outright, which said instructions recommended. Nothing.
I should note that Photoshop crashes when using the Move Tool to move an object without ant lines around it, i.e., a layer. I'll move the object, and after two to three seconds, the mentioned error message will appear and Windows will close Photoshop. This, however, only seems to happen after selecting, copying, and pasting part of a large object with some variation of the Marqee Tool (thus making that part a new layer by default) while working at a zoom of 100%. So, in short, working with a large image like <a href=http://www.wallpaper4me.com/images/wallpapers/ergo_proxy_267_1280-862301.jpeg>This</a> at 100% zoom. The image linked is the image that I was using and am currently using to reproduce the problem. It is 1280x1024 pixels. I have tested this with somewhat smaller, yet comparable images too. Same problem. I have never had this problem working with large images before, and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions short of formatting my hard drive.

Even a decent RAM upgrade is usually only a few hundred dollars nowadays, but it's not a trivially simple process. That said, with a little research and care you can do it. Alternatively, you can hire people (e.g., "Geek Squad") to do such an upgrade.
First, you'll need to know what your operating system capacity is. For example, a 32 bit Windows system can really only use up to a bit more than 3 GB of RAM, while a 64 bit Windows system can use all the RAM you can find a place to plug in. What version of Windows are you running?
Then you'll need to determine what RAM you have installed and what your computer's maximum RAM capacity is - usually you can do this through internet research, either by visiting your computer manufacturer's web site or doing google searches. There are even RAM manufacturer web sites that will tell you what kind of RAM your computer needs and suggest sources, for example:
http://www.kingston.com/
It may be that you can just plug additional chips into currently empty sockets, or it is possible you'll need to replace the RAM chips you have installed in your computer to make room for an upgrade. Every computer is different.
If you list your computer model and current RAM that you have installed here, it may be that someone can help with more specific advice.

Lr 4.1 won't "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4" properly

Hello,
Using Lr 4.1 w/ Camera RAW 7.1 and Photoshop CS4 11.0.2... When I try to edit a RAW file in Ps as I always have in Lr 3.x (Right click film strip >> Edit In >> Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4) I get the following message:
This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.7 for full compatibility. Please update the Camera Raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu. [Button options are: Render using Lightroom, Open Anyway, and Cancel.]
Render using Lr just keeps me in Lr, doesn't open Ps.
Open Anyway opens Ps, but not the image.
Using Ps >> help >> updates: says there are no updates.
But help >> About plug-in >> Camera Raw: shows it is only Version 5.7.0.213
Interestingly, if I go back to Lr and hit Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4 >> "Render using Lr" and then immediately do it again, this time clicking "Open Anyway" it actually DOES open the image in Ps. I can edit and then when I save it takes a long time to write the TIFF format (several times longer than when previously editing through Lr 3.x),
Is there a fix for this so I don't need to do multiple steps to edit from Lr to Ps? And is there a way to update the Camera Raw in Ps from 5.7.0.213 to 6.7 since Ps>>help>>updates doesn't catch it?
Thanks!
Mike

You are going to have to render using lightroom in order to use the latest ACR updates since you can no longer get ACR updates for PS CS4. But when you click on Render using LR, it still should open in CS4 I would think. You might be able to fix this by telling LR that you have another editing program, CS4, and then select it instead of the generic photoshop at the top of the this. But I would not think that you would have to do this.

Adobe photoshop cs4

please help
I have adobe photoshop cs4 and when i enter the disk to install it does nothing . whats the problem - i did have a trial version on it b4 would this have anything to do with it, if so how ca i fix it ?

I installed CS4 as a trial and it says license (or trial) expired on first use. I uninstalled it and re-installed it many times and I had the same problem. I donwnloaded a recover license from Adobe web site but it didn't solve the problem. It seems like I'll need to format my hard drive but I wouldn't like to mess up my OS until I move completely to Win 7. Googling the problem came with some solutions that seem fishy. Any hints on how to fix this and why this happened? I'm planning on recommending the software so my company can purchase it but I would like to try this version at home before recommending it and finding out that CS3 would do just fine. Also, the extended version may be a better option but I would like to try it at least for a week so I can write some justification if there is one.
If you know the solution to the problem, please let me know. Also, your comments on the new features would be appreciated as they can help me on this decision. I don't want to call Adobe because they will probably say they don't support trials.
Thanks,

Adobe Photoshop cs4 extended invalid serial number

I just bought adobe photoshop cs4 extended from a large retail computer store.I had the trial version of photoshop cs4 extended.I uninstalled the trial version and installed from dvd.I got a Invalid serial number error.I am sure there was a software configuration problem .The reason ,the disk needs to verfy that you have the original disk,If that happens ,After installation ,Just delete this file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db This is the location where it installed the serial . After deleteing it will create a new cache.db file and store the serial there that goes with that disk . When you open PS cs4 it will ask to enter serial again.Just enter the serial again that came with box ..I guess this would work also with adobe photoshop cs4

I encountered the same problem with Photoshop CS5 - I had the trial version installed, and now bought the extended version, but it keeps saying the license key is invalid. I did unistall, ran the cleanup tool, but it is still not working. Any help is appreciated.
