CS4 + 64 bit

Hi & please excuse my ignorance but...
Info I've read so far says CS4 is user friendly for VISTA 64bit.
Same apply for XP 64bit?
Thanks

Might be the way your trying to install it. CS4 installed perfect on my copy of Windows 7 RC. You have to install it like you would on Vista 64 bit.
You have to right click and run the .exe file as Admin on Windows 7 RC.
Also turn off any anti-virus and also windows defender.
Make sure your connected to the internet.
If Abobe reader and AIR is on the machine you need to remove it. You can always reinstall after.
What I did, like I did with Vista 64 bit, was just install PS CS4 and Bridge and nothing else. PS CS4 will hang during the install towards the end like it does on Vista.
The first time you run PS CS4 you have to right click on the software and run as administrator just like in Vista. Don't forget to update CS4 and also you video card drivers.
Then if you want you can install AIR or Reader. I would update from the Adobe site and not the disk as reader is more up to date off the website.

PHOTOSHOP CS4 bit mode compatibility

I have files in RGB and their bit modes are deactivated so I can't add another RGB photo (in 8-bit mode) into that file nor can I deactivate the bit mode in the photo to match the main files. How to I make these two images compatible??? Please help!

Are you sure you are not in "Multichannel" mode?
That's the only way I can think of of not having the option to change bit depth.
Could you post a similar screen shot?
Even better, can you post a link to one of your affected files?

Installing Photoshop Elements

I keep trying to install Photoshop Elements for my Mac and it goes through until a certain point where it asks for me to insert the CS4 disk. I only recently got CS4 and tried it putting it in and it still didn't work. But I bought Elements before that since I did not have CS4 and it still asked for it. How can I get it to work?

This might be because of the common stuff between CS4 and PSE 6 like Bridge.
PSE6 was released long time ago and CS4 was released recently. I believe that there are some latest and updated components which have been installed by CS4 on your machine and PSE6 installer is trying to update them which it cannot do as it does not have those cs4 bits.
Try doing this:
1.Uninstall CS4.
2.Use the CS4 clean up script
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406241.html
3. Run the CS3 clean up script for removing any traces of incomplete installation which PSE 6 might have left on your machine (I know i am saying CS3 clean up script but that is what works for PSE6)
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
4. Install PSE 6 on your machine.
5. Install CS4.
As a general rule of thumb, latest version should be able to install on older version and I expect Adobe that they must have tested this workflow pretty well.
I know all the above steps might consume lot of hours but atleast you might get started to work on both the products.
Best Luck

Contribute CS4 and CS5 file transfer (publish) problem on Windows 7 64 bit

Have a problem with Contribute CS5 and CS4 on Windows 7 64 bit where upon editing a webiste for example to add a new page (or edit an existing one) and then clicking on "publish" a blank page appears on the website. To explain this further, If i make the required changes to the page and select the option to publish the file later then the file wirtten to the PC appears to be ok and has all the changes, but as soon as I publish it, only a blank page appears on the web server. ie the upload (ftp) process does happen but the content of the page is being stripped out somewhere during the filt transfer process.
I have editied the same site with CS4 on windows XP without any problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thank you
Chris

I seem to have solved the issue by downloading this install file
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.2/enu/AdbeRdr920_en_US.exe
which installs successfully.

Install demo of CS4 Web Premium-Photoshop Installs 64 bit and x86 versions but 64 bit does not work

Just installed the CS4 Web Premium demo onto a brand new 64 bit i7 processor with Windows Seven Home Premium machine with 9gb memory. The install seems to be fine except it installed a 64 bit version as well as x86 version into different folders. The x86 version works fine but the 64 bit version does not.
Every time I try to open a file using "Open With' I get the following message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
First of all why does it install both versions and why does it try to open everything in the 64bit version even after specifically telling it to open in the x86 version (even after setting the default file association to the x86 version.
I would of course like to use the 64 bit veriosn but if it not going to work. I'll use the 32 bit version. I just wantto be able to right click my mouse and be able to "Open With". I can open Photoshop 32 bit and open the file that way but it is a pain to do that way.
Any help would be appreciated

Both are installed to allow you to use 32 bit plugins. As for the problem, you'll get far more attention in the Photoshop forum.

Premiere Pro CS4: 64-Bit App or Not?

I read in the new Premiere Pro CS4 specs that it was "optimized for use on Win Vista 64-Bit..."
Using that language, is Adobe saying it's still a 32-bit app, but will work fine on the Vista 64-bit platform? Would appreciate somebody clarifying that point.

Unable to close Photoshop CS4 (64 bit) - Process in Windows Task Manager remains open

Hi everyone,
I've just upgraded to CS4
When i launch Photoshop for the first time, it's running normally.
But if i close it, it seems to be closed, but a photoshop.exe (64 bit) process is still remaining in memory and i can't launch
Photoshop until a kill the first process.
The computer is is Windows Vista 64 bit with 8GB of RAM and a Ndivia Geforce 9400 GT graphic card.
The problems remains if I disable OpenGL or reset prefs.
I only have the 64 bit application installed and for the rest seems fine.
All help is welcome !

I assume you reboot the computer after removing the buggy software?
I would do a search on your computer for the software and see if there are any remaining folders. If so remove them and reboot.
This is a good free removal software. It is called CCleaner and it will remove any junk remaining on your computer. Give that a try. It also has a registry cleaner too.
Up to you if you wish to use the registry cleaner. May help because there might be something left over from removing the software that is triggering the problem still.

Problem Opening Composition in CS4 on Windows 7 (Worked in Vista) 32-Bit

Hello,
Merry Christmas! Hope everyone is having a better one than I am at the present time!
At little background information on what I have and what is happening.
My machine is a custom built machine with an ASUS P5KC Motherboard, Intel Quad Core Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, and 4.00GB DDR3 RAM, with a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX.
Yesterday when I was working on this video, I had Windows Vista Home 32-bit installed. All fonts, footage, plug-ins, etc were there, working fine. The project had multiple compositions with quite a bit of 3D elements.
Somehow that machine got infected with a wicked little trojan; cleaned it enough to get my files off of there and make a backup.
I then installed Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, re-installed After Effects CS4, copied all of the Video Copilot Evolution footage, and Pro Scores, Designer Sound Effects, and Action Movies Essentials to the machine; installed the fonts and plugins again.
I then attempted to start After Effects and open the project; all was good -- it recognized that there was 53 items that were not found (unlinked footage). However, once it loaded and it started to load the last composition that I had open (which just so happened to be the fairly large one with 3D elements), it would simply freeze and become "not responding".
I tried this various times; no luck.
I then started a new project, and "drug" the existing project to the new one. This allowed me to open the project without it opening the previous composition. I was then able to re-link all footage and sounds. I then was able to open the other compositions, but the moment I tried to open the composition that I tried earlier, it froze again.
So then I thought, well maybe I can just render it, or make it a proxy, etc.
Both failed. Even when I add to render queue, as soon as it adds it, before I even click start rendering it will freeze.
I thought maybe this was a memory issue; I did some tricks to allow After Effects to use all of the memory, and all cores of the procesor, verify OpenGL state, and allow it to use 80% of the physical RAM on the video card -- still no luck.
I tried cleaning the project, and purging memory; no luck.
I can post the AEP project file for anyone who is willing to help.
Perhaps installing a 64-bit version of Windows 7 would help, but I don't understand what this issue is steamed from.
Thanks,
Travis

Situation Update:
Installed Windows 7 Professional x64 Bit, Adobe After Effects CS4. No improvement, still same issues. I then installed the 9.0.2 patch, and tried again -- same result, negative.
Response to Mylenium:
Thanks for the advice. It appears as if all devices have the latest drivers on my computer, and are running as they should. Not sure too much to check on After Effects, but it says everything is "Supported" in the OpenGL dialog on AE CS4.
Also, I'm able to render the main compsotion (which contains other comps in the beginning, and then middle way it has the problematic composition in the timeline) up until the point where the first frame of the problematic composition is.
I beleive it will aid in your assistance to me by seeing the actual project; please see the attachment.
Project number 2 is the initial project, where the "last thing opened" was the problematic composition. Project number 3 is the "new project" with the old project added.
You will see what I'm explaining once you take a look.
Additionaly Regarding QuickTime
I just recently downloaded the latest version of QuickTime Player (QuickTime Player 7, Version 7.6.5). It has installed, and I'm able to play MOV files that I have used in the composition. I'm unsure as to additional options to check within QuickTime.
Thanks,
Travis

Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management

This is a question about Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management. I scan 4x5 film and sometimes end up with up to or even bigger than 1 GB files. Obviously that needs as much memory as possible. Windows XP is limited in this regard and I am in the market for a new speedy computer which won't force me to stay at a snail's pace. In this month's Shutterbug, David Brooks in his Q&A column says to avoid Vista for color management reasons, but offers no explanation or support for his opinion. He implies one should wait for Windows 7 for some unstated reason. With a calibrated monitor and printer and Photoshop controlling color files sent to the printer, why would Vista be any different or worse than XP? Is he on to something or just pontificating? Does anyone know any reliable info about Windows 7 that would make it worth waiting for?
Thanks.

Photoshop has direct access to max 3.2gb
On Mac OS X, PS CS4 can use up to 8 GB of RAM, but only directly accesses up to 3.5 GB. (Figures quoted from kb404440.) In using PS CS4 on Mac OS, though, direct Memory Usage maxes out at 3 GB even. If you set usage to 100% (3 GB), then plug-ins (including Camera Raw and filters), as well as actions and scripts, can access RAM above that 3 GB to between about 512 MB and about 768 MB total (seems to vary depending on which filters et al that you are using), leaving the rest up to 4 GB for the Mac OS. If you have more than 4 GB, then the amount of RAM above 4 GB is used by PS as a scratch disk. This increases performance significantly for most things because writing to and reading from the hard drive is much slower than doing so with RAM.
I haven't done the testing for actual RAM usage and such for PS CS4 on Vista 64, and Adobe's documentation is very much lacking in detail, but, based on the statement "If you use files large enough to need more than 4 GB of RAM, and you have enough RAM, all the processing you perform on your large images can be done in RAM, instead of swapping out to the hard disk." from kb404439, it seems that PS would be using RAM in very much the same way as I described above for Mac OS, except that the scratch disk usage in RAM wouldn't be limited to 8 GB (instead to how much you have installed). Has anyone done any performance/load testing to know for sure? I didn't see any such studies published, but I am curious if one has been done.
I will agree that there is a definite performance advantage when using PS CS4 (64-bit) on Vista 64, which I've experienced, especially when working very large compositions.
My initial recommendation to the OP to use Mac was based upon reading those articles about bad color management. As I stated before, I have never experienced that problem, and clearly the views of all that have posted here so far indicate that the problem may not be a real issue. (Perhaps this David Brooks fellow and Steve Upton both like to mess with their computers and broke something in Windows?)

CS4 - No title bar in Windows 7 64 bit

A couple of weeks ago I installed CS4 64 bit in the 64-bit beta of Windows 7. All I did was open it, look at it, do a bit of minimal adjustment to the Prefs, open a couple of photos and pretend to edit them.
I opened it 2 days ago, and it was still fine. It Photoshop had a standard Windows 7 Aero title bar.
Today it has no title bar, just a bit of space above the menu line. Bridge still has a title bar, however.
I've trashed my prefs; no good. Trashed them, rebooted. No good.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mary

Steve, Zeno, Rob, Bob
I've got egg on my face. The reason I don't have a title bar is (quoting from a CS4 review), 'There’s no longer a title bar to consume extra screen real estate unnecessarily.' !
I must have been running it maximized before yesterday, and didn't notice the 'no title bar' phenomenon.
After reading Steve's post, I googled harder and found the answer.
Sorry for taking up bandwidth. (On the other hand, if I hadn't seen that Steve, using Vista not 7, had the same, er, feature, I might have gone through a horrid cycle of reinstalling etc.; so posting did help me!)

Why is Flash CS4 so terrible in Windows 7 64 Bit?

Hello,
Well, I still have yet to see any posts or answers to posts that address the following problems with Flash CS4 on Windows 7 64 Bit:
1. Flash takes half of forever to load.
2. Flash is slow.
3. Flash will not allow to Test Movies or Test Scenes. (This one is the most maddening and irritating.)
4. Will not publish files due to an incorrect parameter. (Notice it doesn't say WHICH one.)
Basic Specs:
Windows 7 64 Bit OS
8GB of RAM
Intel i5 750
I would really hate to have to revert to Windows XP just to use Flash CS4 reliably and I certainly am in no mood to purchase yet ANOTHER upgrade to CSx.
Windows 7 has been out for around a year. Certainly someone at Adobe can illuminate why this program functions so poorly in Windows 7.
Thank you.
MGL

Oh, and if by chance you, too, run Windows 64 Bit and Flash CS4, I would appreciate if you could share any thing you did to your system or installation to make it work better.
Please don't just say, "Well, it works for me, blah blah blah."
Thanks.

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.

How to update Photoshop and rest of CS4 suite to 64 bit windows 7

Hi. I've been using Adobe CS4 Master Suite on a 32 bit vista system.
I'm switching to a 64 bit windows 7 computer.
After going through the whole Master Suite Installation process, all of my Adobe programs show up in 32 bit / x86 format, except Photoshop which shows up both in 32 bit / x86 folder AND in 64 bit.
How do I get the rest of the Master Suite to show up / install in 64 bit? (is there a separate update? require a separate purchase? and why did photoshop work whereas the rest did not?)
And how do I check within the individual program to see if it's 32 or 64 bit? (photoshop has a system info tab that identified PS as 64 bit, but other progs don't have that)
Thanks

How do I get the rest of the Master Suite to show up / install in 64 bit?
You don't. Only Photoshop is 64bit, the other apps are conventional 32bit apps. The isntall location is therefore correct (within microsofts guidelines).

Need to Re-activate CS4 after upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 (32 bit)

I have a laptop running Vista 32-bit with Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4 installed. I'm planning to upgrade the computer from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit, upgrading in place to avoid having to reformat and reinstall all the software. Will Photoshop still be activated after the upgrade or will I need to re-activate it? If I need to reactivate, will the OS change make the activation process think the software has been moved to a new computer? It is currently activated on two machines (one of which is this laptop) as it is and don't want the activation wizard to think I'm putting it on third machine in violation of the license. Should I de-activate it before upgrading the OS and then re-activate once the system upgrade is complete? After the OS change I plan to upgrade the Adobe software to Lightroom 3 and PS CS5 - does the activation of CS4 even matter in that case? Anyone done a Vista->Win7 upgrade in place and offer any suggestions?

You are a brave man indeed, John.
An in-place upgrade is still a bad idea though.

CS4 Suite fails to install on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

I just built my Intel i7-980x Workstation with 12gigs of ram a PNY Quadro FX3800 GPU and a 160 SSD. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. I then began installing my CS4 Production Premium Sutie onto my new Workstation, but the install, after the 4th disk, displayed and error message that said "Done, but with errors." I can't load the screen shot since Adobe won't allow attachments. I called TS, but they couldn't help. I then look on this forum and found people having the same "Language packages" not installing on their XP/Vista machines. So after turning off the firewall with no anti-virus it still would not install correctly. Funny thing was I could launch Pr, Ae and Soundbooth, but not Ps, Ai or Fl. I went to the Windows 7 website to see about the "Public" folder and this location http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Sharing-files-with-the-Public-folder shows you how to turn it back on as Win7 disables it; at least the Ultimate version does. I attempted the install for the 4th time (I removed it every time prior to the next try) it finally worked. Tech support needs to be on top of these things, but thank God for this forum and people sharing their experiences. Hope this helps someone else

Ankit: you should really use code blocks when giving typing or copy/paste instructions. This forum software keeps inserting random blanks and/or linefeeds into normal text, so when the user copied your instructions, the blanks were copied as well; thus the command failed.
Example:
Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start -> type "cmd". In the section above you should be able to see a command.exe. Right click on the same and select Run As Administrator)
In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f
The 'i' and 'ii' in the list above will probably be replaced by the forum software by something else (possibly 'a' and 'b') when I click the Post button.

Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit for running CS4 Premiere Pro

     Greetings, I need some advice on whether to upgrade my computer or not! I am currently running CS4 Premiere Pro (ver 4.2.1) with HD 1080 footage. My computer is a HP d4999z Image maker (Pavillon) using Vista 32-bit OS. It has an AMD 9600 Quad-core processor 2.3 GHz (ADM phenom 64 Nvidia), Ram is 4 GB, Windows Vista Home Prem (service pak2), a Nvidia GEForce 8800GT, creative SB-x-Fi, 3 internal HD and 2 external HD.
     I use PremPro CS4 for video editing of my HD footage. I am a serious amateur, and not a professional. HP says that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate on my current computer and go from 4 GB ram to 8 GB, but 8GB is the max. So my question is... will an upgrade like this (Wind 7/64 and more RAM), give me significantly faster or better processing? And is Windows 7/64 Ultimate a more stable platform on which to run CS4?
     Eventually, I will go to CS5; but not on this computer. Probably late next year for the new computer.
     Thanks for any advice. Jean

Jean,
I think that you will find Win7-64 with an increase in RAM will offer a bit more stability and performance gain, though only a 64-bit program will get you a real increase. Whether the "bang for the buck" is enough to justify the move, is another matter. Harm and Bill G. can probably quantify that increase in performance for you, to help with the decision.
One caveat that I might offer would be the 64-bit drivers currently available. Word on the street indicates that that situation will likely improve with Win7-64 SP1. As you will be using CS4, you should not have the issue with Effects, CODEC's, etc., being 32-bit, even if you have a 64-bit OS.
Good luck, and expect a couple of folk to have some real-world numbers for you, to help you make the final decision.
