Bridge defaults set to launch 32 bit Photoshop CS4 - why?

I'm setting up a new Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine with Photoshop CS4. I am most familiar with CS2 on a Windows XP computer.
I've read some posts about setting Bridge to launch 64 bit rather than 32 bit CS4 Photoshop. I've checked the file associations and all those I've checked are set to launch the 32 bit - I thought the default would be to launch 64 bit. What is the default?
Also, is there any way to determine, once photoshop is launched, whether it is the 32 bit or the 64 bit version?
Thanks.

The default is for Bridge to launch the 64-bit version.

64 bit Lightroom 2.5 work well with 32 bit Photoshop CS4?

Anyone know if 64 bit Lightroom 2.5 works well with 32 bit Photoshop CS4? Any problems or conflicts? Or should I stick to 32 bit Lightroom 2.5?

It works fine, but the default will be to use the 64bit version of CS4 (which is also installed along with the 32bit version).
If you want to use the 32bit version of CS4 the easiest way is to open the 32bit CS4 before sending files from LR. I only have a few plugins that don't have 64bit versions, so I mostly use the 64 bit version of CS4, but occasionally I do use the 32bit version and that's how I do it.

How to safely remove 32-bit Photoshop CS4 from Win7 64-bit?

I have installed Master Collection CS4 on my ThinkPad running Win7 64-bit. The installer installed both the 32-bit and 64-bit Photoshop CS4 which is wasting the hard disk space. There seems to be no way to install only the 64-bit PS from the installer. Nor can I find a way to uninstall only the 32-bit PS using the MC uninstaller.
Can anyone help please.

I think Adobe were being cautious with their first ever 64-bit version of PS and wanted a built-in fallback position, to avoid too much trouble.
Hard disk space is cheap – even on a laptop.
Maybe CS5 will give the choice.

VBScript object to launch 32 bit Photoshop

When running in Vista 64 bit is there a Photoshop.Application object that will launch the 32 bit version of Photoshop?
As an aside are there some notes somewhere about what might cause a javascript to error in 64 bit?

Make 32 bit Photoshop CS4 the default instead of 64 bit?

It was a bit of a surprise to find that none of my 32-bit plugins would work with Photoshop CS4 x64. Most seem to work fine in the 32-bit version of PS though. Is there a way to make the 32-bit version launch by default from Bridge or when opening a PSD file instead of the 64-bit version?

I encountered this issue today as well when I installed Photoshop CS5, and discovered that my usual plugins do not work properly.
They did work properly while running in 32 bit mode.
Windows 7's extension definition sucks, that's why I rather work with the registry.
So after a bit tweaking, I think I finally cracked it.
The "Final Product" (if you will ) is two reg files for toggling 32 and 64 bit modes.
A word of caution: This is what worked on MY machine (Windows 7 64 Bit) and I cannot gurrantee it would work on other computers, nor do I take responsibility for any damage that my occur. We are playing with the Registry here, so BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL.
These codes assume Photoshop is installed in the default location. If you've altered it, make sure to modify the files accordingly first.
Before attempting to use I recommend to create a restore point, just in case something may go wrong.
Here we go:
To switch to 32 bit mode, open a blank notepad page, paste the below code and save it as "fix.reg" (NOT TXT). After saving, activate it and you're good to go.

Artifacts in Bridge Output that don't show in Photoshop CS4

Hello,
I'm new to using Adobe Bridge and I used the output function to check on the resolution/condition of an image. I am seeing artifacts in Bridge that are not visible in Photoshop. Likewise the image looks very poor in Bridge but is crisp and clear in Photoshop. The image that I'm looking at is a 8 1/2 x 11" 300 dpi. Why would these look completely different in the two programs? Do I need to adjust a setting or does Bridge trump Photoshop in terms of what will ultimately print?
Best,
Melinda

John,
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me.
I used the settings:
Custom
Page Preset: US Paper
Size 8.5 x 11
Quality 300 dpi.
But I also fooled around with a ton of other combinations (in terms of the template setting) although I have no clue what they mean and got the same result.
If I went back to the image and used the eraser function to "clean" up the artifacts that I couldn't see in a particular area and generated a new preview they were gone in that area. That's what's having me a bit concerned. They do not show up in Photoshop or in a PDF generated by InDesign.
Very strange...

64 Bit Photoshop CS4 running on 64 Bit WIndows 7 - does it work for anyone?

Hi,
Is anyone running 64 BI Photoshop CS4 running on 64 Bit WIndows 7 without any problems? Mine is totally unusable due to wild erratic brushes (clone, healing, eraser and more). I have had zero success with Adobe. Two weeks after posting a support incident, they finally responded with an answer that had absoutley nothing to do with my support ticket. Unbelievable. SO maybe I'll get another response in 2 more weeks.
I have another thread that explains my problems, but that is not the purpose of this post. For this I am interested in what configurations people are using with 64 bit CS4 and 64 bit Windows 7, especially, what graphics cards are you using in the situations where there are no problems. I will even buy new graphics cards, because I have to. I cannot work as is.
Is anyone using dual graphics cards successfully with 64 bit Win 7 and 64 bit CS4. if so, what cards?
Thanks

PS CS4 does not support dual cards (or dual GPU cards) so the other card in the case is not being used.
Set up is simple:
M4A79T delux MB
8 gigs of corsair dominator ram timings 8,8,8,24 2T CMD4GX3M2B1600C8
AMD 965 Quad 140 watt
ATI 5870 with 9.11 drivers
PS CS4 Extended 11.0.1 update
Simple USB keyboard
MS Comfort Optical 3000 mouse
Windows 7 professional 64 bit plus updates. Aero turned on.

Iphoto launch problem with photoshop CS4

Sorry if Im in the wrong section, If so can some one point me in the right direction. I would be very grateful if I could seek assistance on the following problem. I have downloaded Photoshop CS4 and when I opened it my Iphoto folder would not open, an error message "iphoto is being used by another application or is unreadable. This still appears after I have closed down Photoshop, After restoring from time machine and deistalling Photoshop the Iphoto comes back but the sane happens when I launch CS4 again. Can anyone advise me.
Regards Keith

Keith
To use Photoshop with iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
If this error message stops you opening iPhoto:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to repair library permissions.

32-bit Photoshop CS4 on Vista won't start

I'm having a problem starting the 32-bit version of Photoshop CS4 running under Vista Home Premium. I installed the patch (11.0.1) but it didn't help.
The problem I've having is when I start the program it indicates it's searching for plug-ins. It does that for a while then stops responding. This occurs only on the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version works fine.
Has anyone had this problem and successfully resolved it?
Thanks.

In the "start in" field it says "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\"
That's the same syntax used for the 64-bit version, which works.
I appreciate your help, but I don't think that's the issue either. Also, I uninstalled CS3. That didn't seem to help either.

Bridge after end of trial version of Photoshop CS4

Hello, I'd like to install Photoshop CS4 trial. I understantd that Photoshop will not work after 30 days. But will Bridge CS4 continue to work after the end of the trial ?

Bridge is not a stand alone product, but a part of Photoshop. So if CS4 quits they all quit.

Setting the Bleed in Adobe Photoshop Cs4 Extended

I have been to the page in support where it points to the window that pops up after you click the print button. I do not see anything on that window that has anything to do with a bleed. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Since I found the answer to my question from a friend and not here I figured posting the answer might be of use to someone who is having the same trouble finding it as me. For my current version Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended I found the place to add a bleed in the tab Image>Canvas Size.

Photoshop cs4 bridge,getting not enough storage message.

I have a computer that the motherboard died a couple of weeks ago. The motherboard and processor have been replaced as well as upgrading the ram from 4 gb to 12. We were able to use the old hard drive with no problems, maybe, just booted it up yesterday and am still working things out. Photoshop cs4 was installed on the computer and it seems to be working fine, except that I'm getting "not enough storage" messages when I try to do things I was able to do before the colapse. One thing I've noticed is that in the 32 bit version of Photoshop preferences it shows around 3 gb of ram available while the 64 bit version shows the full 12gb. Is this typical? and if not why would it be showing up this way? I'm not sure that has anything to do with the problems with bridge it is a stand alone program now. Anyway, does anyone have any idea what could be the problem with this? Would uninstalling and re-installing the programs help?
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit system
12 GB RAM
I'm not sure what else would be needed about the computer, let me know if there is anything else.
Thanks for any help,
Linda

Is the "not enough storage" error message showing up in Bridge or Photoshop? I ask that because it seems to be a Bridge error message and the Bridge forum could better handle that.
If Photoshop is giving you this message, check your Preferences > Performance and see that the ram allocated is not more than 65-70% of total and look at your scratch disk allocation in that section as well.
I would also consider resetting Photoshop's preferences. Sometimes that clears up problems, and of course be sure you install the latest CS4 updates.
I'm assuming you have to use 32 bit Photoshop CS4 (example32 bit third party plugins). If not use 64 bit CS4 and see if that works.
I'd heed the upgrade advice as well. After December, CS4 to CS6 upgrade price will increase from $200 to $700.

Photoshop CS4: Using pen tool to add corner anchors instead of curve anchors

Hello folks, I have searched all the resources I could think of using different phrasings, but have yet to figure out how to do this or if it can be done. I am working on a project that requires adding many corner anchors to paths. By default, using the pen tool in Photoshop CS4 adds curve anchors. Thus requiring me to add the anchor and then convert it to a corner. Is there some easy way to make PS create corners instead of curves with the pen tool? Even using the shift-cntl-alt-click combos didn't help? Would save me time and sanity!
Thanks all,
- DK

I think if you just click and don't move the mouse before you let off the mouse button you get corner anchors, no? But that's when you're creating the path. I guess you want to add corner anchors with the Add Anchor Point Tool?
