Cs4 extended merge 3d layers

Hi,
The for merging 3d layers in cs4 is grayed out.
If I create two 3d layers with a cone and a sphere and try to merge them with Ctl+e or 3D/ Merge 3D layers (grayed ) it does not work.
Thanks for your attention,
JPD

Command "Load Files into Stack" part of CS4 Standard or CS4 Extended only?

Hi,
this question is about Photoshop CS4, not previous versions.
About this Photoshop command:
File > Scripts > Load files into stack
Is it part of CS4 Standard - or CS4 Extended only?
And this command from within Bridge CS4 (not earlier versions):
Tools > Photoshop > Load files into Photoshop Layers (or so)
Is it only in CS4 Extended or also in CS4 Standard?
On a side note: I do have CS4 Extended, but sometimes want to know what's actually doable in CS4 Standard (for teaching, screenshots, etc). Is it possible to run the Extended version in Standard mode? Could a "work space" be defined for that (once you know the differences) or better could a "work space" be downloaded for that? Could Extended be switched to show as Standard?
Thanks for all clever hints!

Extended and Standard are the same app. the extended features are unlocked with an extended serial number. The scripts may show but you might not be able to use them.

CS4 extended Layer styles not working

Running CS4 extended on Vista64, Corei7 quad @2.9 GHz, 8 Gig Ram and nVidia quadro FX 1700. I can not get layer styles to work in documents that originated in CS3 extended. If I start a new document they work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Well, I ended up copying all of the layers from the old PSD to a CS4 psd and it worked. Since it is a web page it had a lot of layers and it was a major pain in the hooey... but it did work.

Problems exporting Video from Photshop CS4 extended

Hi Guys
I have a multilayered psd file (RGB 8 bit, 955 px x 600 px) and have created an animation (8 seconds) using the animation panel in timeline mode. File consists of 4 image layers and 3 text layers. When I choose File/export/render video, The quicktime options are grayed out and all I can do is render jpgs from the sequence.
Any ideas? I know that I have done this about a year ago without problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Mathias...I think.
Anyway, I figured out my problem and wanted to share in case anyone else runs into this.
I was working on a new laptop (purchased expressly for CS4). After pulling what little hair out that I have left this morning, I decided to try it on my desktop machine. Lo and Behold, Quicktime options were available.
Idiot that I am, I assumed (yeah I know) that Quicktime would have been pre-installed on the laptop. Welllllll no, I didn't have Quicktime installed at all.
Installed Quicktime and all is well.
Thanks for your help. If you need me, I'll be sitting in the corner wearing a dunce cap.

Animating Text Issue in Ps CS4 Extended

Hi,
An issue with animating text in Ps CS4 Extended. Graphics on seperate layers animates from frame to frame without problems.
However when I add text, first off stage and on stage after a few frames, it automatically appears on every frame...
I tried to add text as a text layer or as a text imported as a jpg file and the same happens...
I just want to make text move onto the stage at certain moment.
Any ideas would be great.

From the Premiere forum...
Go to this link and scroll down to the 1st question after the troubleshooting steps... it links to software that will read the video file and give you the codec that is used... report that information, and someone who uses PS-Extended should be able to tell you if it is compatible (or, it might even be listed in the user guide) http://premierepro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting
There is also information at the wiki about converting files http://premierepro.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:How_do_I_convert_my_files%3F

CS4 Photoshop - Merge Down vs Merge Visible?

Hello, I believe this may be my first time on any of the Adobe forums. It's about time I came aboard...
Working with a photo in Photoshop CS4, and after doing many edits, I am ready to merge the layers. For the life of me, I cannot seem to figure out what the difference is between Merge Down and Merge Visible. I have tried both alternatives, and yet cannot locate the differences.
Thank you for any help.

Thanks, C. P. Actually, I wanted to copy all my layers and paste them into a new document without actually merging or flattening them together. I looked further, and found other useful information about this in discussions as well. Being mostly self-taught, I have a lot more to learn about layers, that's for sure...

3D CS4 extended

I want to place a graphic onto a photograph of a mug and create a wrap around 3D effect in CS4 extended. Any suggestions please?

Make a 3D cylinder that matches you mug on a separate layer then bring your graphic into the document on a layer on top of that and position the same as the mug, you can use the transparency slider, that when you have the cylinder ing the right position and the graphic i the relative orientation you can merge the graphic to the cylinder of course first bring the Cylinder back to 100% opacity. You of course now have to rasterize the the 3D layer and erase and excess left from the 3D cylinder. You can also turn your graphic into a texture and map the graphic that way as well there is a tutorial on this on the Adobe website.
Or you can to a similar thing in AI but in that case you will not have to erase the excess of the cylinder since you can make the geometry of the cylinder invisible in AI.

I need to install photoshop cs4 extended from a disk to a new computer because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

I have to install Photoshop CS4 extended on a new computer from a disk because my old computer had a hard drive crash. There is no serial number on the back of the case. How can I obtain a usable serial number?

Find your serial number quickly
You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past. The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box. If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, owned for ages, licensing for this product has expired? Was using it two months ago.

Hello,
I have been trying to get Adobe's help for over a month now. I've been on the phone twice to them, opened up three seperate cases and still arrived at no solution. I was bought Photoshop CS4 Extended awhile ago and use it for my studies (I'm an art student). Two months ago my harddrive on my computer failed and I had to have a new laptop. I went to reinstall Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has expired" comes up. I've uninstalled, inreinstalled many times and used Microsoft Fix It Programme for uninstalling to make sure all the files are gone.
Surfing the forums I learned that there should be a folder with back up and Adobe PCD but I don't have that folder at all. The serial number I use is my original serial number that I know works and adobe have even said it's a technical error. What do I do? College starts again in two weeks and I don't have the programme I use for it!

Try the License Repair Tool Adobe - Adobe Licensing Repair Tool
Other suggestions if this doesn't work: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
Also if you must uninstall, use the Adobe CS Cleaner tool, not the Microsoft one. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Issues with Panarama's in Adobe PShop CS4 extended

Hi folks... probably an easy answer here but it has evaded me so far so hopefully someone here might know what is up.
I shoot up to 6 sometimes 7 (vetically shot) images for a pano in Raw. I shoot vertically so I don't loose as much sky or foreground. I then pull the shots in using Bridge. I open Photoshop CS4 extended, click on the pano menu item, select my images, choose the top left side choice and click on all three fixes bottom right under the window... and press OK. Once PShop is finished the shot is set up as a portrait style with some images put together and some not. I could have three beautifully put together up top then just below it only one shot and below that, the balance put together.
Why would this be in a portrait format when it is wider than deep?
Why in pieces still?
Is there a limit to the shots needed to be used?
Thanks Kate

Chances are you simply haven't overlapped the shots enough for it to find the commonality between the shots - or something changed between shots. I have had very good luck with Photoshop's Photomerge function if I overlap shots by about 1/3 each.
Is there water in your shots (e.g., with waves on the surface)? That changes from second to second at the detailed level.
Could you make small versions of the shots that don't seem to want to stitch together and post them here? I might be able to better help nail down the reason it's not stitching them after looking at them.

Photoshop CS4 Extended, issues with resolution and font sizes on Mac

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended, which worked fine on my old 15 inch Macbook Pro, I think it was 2011 and had high definition display.
I now have a new 15 inch 'late 2013' Macbook Pro with retina display (2880 x 1800), and OS 10.9.4
I have 2 problems:
1) Using photoshop now, the resolution is a lot worse than with my old computer, even though my screen is higher resolution.
For example, the images themselves are worse resolution on my display, far less crisp and more pixelated than any of my other programs. And even the windows such as 'save as...' screens are terribly pixelated also. Is there a way to fix this?
2) When using the type tool, I cannot find how to change the size of the font. There used to be numbers which I could change, and also select the font type, both on the top menu bar always visible. Now there is not anymore. What there is there at the top, is what looks to be a bar on top of another bar. The top layer bar is on the left and reaches about one third of the way across the top, and I can drag it by its corner so it can extend more, but not less. It looks like there are things behind it which I cannot see, because it is over the top of them. Perhaps the text size and font options are stuck behind that. What can I do?
Many thanks!
Justin

Hi JJMack, you said "Seems like you want a low resolution display hook and external display to it." I do not know what that means. I did a google search for "low resolution display hook" and it came up with zero results. Also I do not have an external display, only my laptop.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue? I would greatly appreciate any solution.
Thank you!

I've unknowingly sold pirated copies of Adobe CS4 Extended on Ebay

And would like to know what I should/could do to help Adobe and bring about some kind of resolution.
It's a bit of a long story, but I'm a top-rated powerseller on Ebay and a few weeks ago I answered an ad on Craigslist for CS4 Extended at $199 a piece. I really had no idea what the software retailed for, but after searching Ebay and finding them selling for an average of about $399-$499, figured they probably went for somewhere around $600-$700. I decided I'd sell them for $299 and make a quick $100 off each sale. And boy did they go fast. I bought 5 copies at first, placed the ad that night and by the time I woke up the next morning they’d all sold. I met the seller again that afternoon and bought four more copies. Again, they sold immediately.
That's when I started feeling a tinge of nervousness. I'm from Seattle, so I didn't really think twice when the seller told me their source was a person who worked at Microsoft and had access to the "Microsoft store" (which is somewhat infamous here because of how cheap you can get software for if you have access). But nine copies? This was just too easy. I took one of my copies and drove across town to Best Buy to see how well it matched up to theirs. And it matched perfectly, but I was stunned at the $900 price tag and therefore the ‘matching up’ did little to help my nervousness. I ran home, hopped on the PC and found that one of my buyers lived about 20 miles from my house. Okay, this was a way to find out for sure! I emailed and called them, but after getting no response I made the decision to drive to their apartment later that afternoon, unannounced, with a copy of the software in hand. Unfortunately they weren't home so I left a note, which essentially stated that I was very sorry for dropping by like this, but my computer's CD Rom wasn't working (which it wasn’t) and wanted to make sure that the software they'd bought was legitimate. I stated that I hoped they wouldn't mind installing in my presence so I didn't end up shipping out the other copies only to end up ripping people off and creating a mess.
It wasn't until the next morning that I heard back from him, via an email stating how rude it was that I came by like that, and to simply mail the software to them and they'd let me know if it didn't work. Although I knew it was a possibility, It definitely wasn't the response I was hoping for. Dang.
In my Ebay ad, I'd promised 2-3 day delivery on the software, so made the horrible decision to go ahead and ship them out that afternoon, keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. After all, these looked real, all the way down to the product ID sticker, pamphlet, CD artwork, etc. If these were fake, then someone went to a LOT of trouble and spent a LOT of money to make them look real. I guess I figured that my chances of them being pirated were pretty slim considering the financial aspect of the alternative. I did a little research and found that just the shrink-wrapping machine would probably have set the "pirater" back a couple of thousand dollars, then the professional looking pamphlet, the box insert, the box itself, the little stickers...this would be one heck of an undertaking. What are the chances someone would have the means to do something like that? Well unfortunately, much higher than I thought.
The first Ebay complaint was filed a few days later and the others soon followed. All the work I’d put in to Ebay began crumbling down around me and I called the man I’d bought them from under the guise of wanting to buy more. We met at a local Burger King and I confronted him about my situation. In response, he repeated what he’d told me the first time I bought them: The software was definitely legitimate and he’d had three different opportunities to install it himself on behalf of his buyers, all of which were successful.
I pointed out that not a single registration code was valid and that some of my buyers had actually called Adobe and were flat-out told by representatives that they’d bought illegitimate software. Every last copy of the software I sold was being returned. I said that I wasn’t concerned as much about his level of culpability, but that I get money back to be able to pay for the accumulating refunds. Of course he seemed sincere in telling me that he’d get back to me, but I haven’t heard a word from him since we parted that day. But something positive did come of the meeting! In parting, I pretended to drive away only to circle back around and see him get into his vehicle (he’d parked quite a distance from our meeting place) and got his license plate number.
The timing of this mess was incredibly horrible because I was moving at the end of last month and it cost me a small fortune. When it came to being able to refund people, I simply didn’t have the money. I called Ebay and Paypal, told them my situation, what had happened, and they covered the refunds for me but informed me that I have two weeks to pay them back before they shut down my account.
I’ve sold on Ebay for over two years and it’s my biggest source of income by far (I’m a waiter by trade otherwise). I’ve lost that now and have only myself and my bad judgment to blame. But I would like this person to be held accountable for his part; even if that means that I have to face consequences myself.
This happened over two weeks ago, but I’ve not called the local police yet because I’m not so sure that they have either the tools or the motivation to pursue something like this. Instead I’ve been scanning Craigslist to make sure he’s not still selling (it seems he’s laying low right now) and figured I’d contact Adobe and see what course of action they’d like me to take. I’m wondering how aggressive they are in making sure piraters are prosecuted and how they go about doing it. Hence this post.
I’m in a financial mess at the moment and have been working a lot of double-shifts lately in my scramble to come up with money; I haven’t had much time to be able to contact Adobe during their office hours and thought I’d write this in the hopes that someone from Adobe will read it and be able to point me directly to someone who handles this sort of thing.
This guy lied to me about successfully installing this software, so I have every reason to believe that he’s knowingly and directly involved in the operation. I still have the returned software. What should I do?

Since your intention was to sell legit software, I'm sorry that you were as much a victim as your buyers were. I don't know what else you could do except report it as others have suggested and pay your customers back. Companies like Adobe don't have the resources to follow up on every individual case of piracy, but they should be interested in tracking down the sources of the big professional counterfeiting rings. Judging from your description of the packages you sold and the cost of producing such packages, I assume they come from such a source.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I'm from Seattle, so I didn't really think twice when the seller told me their source was a person who worked at Microsoft and had access to the "Microsoft store" (which is somewhat infamous here because of how cheap you can get software for if you have access).
I don't get the connection - you were selling Adobe software, not Microsoft software.

Can I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended on my brand new iMac? I had PS on my old Mac using the student licensing.

About four years ago, I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended while I was in undergrad. I downloaded it to my Mac. Since then, I've purchased a brand new iMac. Can I use this same software? I know it's been four years so the software is very updated, AND my new iMac does NOT have a cd drive. This may all be in vain. I'm just clueless! Thanks!

Emalexander89 you are welcome to install Photoshop CS4 on your new Mac. You can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS6 products.

How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended?

How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended that you can map artwork to? I've been searched online for a solution that doesn't involve using a 3D program but can't find anything. Can't you extrude a shape like in Illustrator, or exporta true 3D shape from Illustrator that will work? I'd use Illustrator but the mapping thing is finicky, and doesn't alow wrapping images around angles. (now someones going to say: "Don't mention any other programs in a PHotoshop forum!" Yeah yeah, there should be a forum then about using different Adobe programs together.) End of rant, any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for your prompt response!
Suggested Bridge Update
It turns out that I got a message that this update had already been installed, which led me to more carefully look at the Bridge window and (finally) see that the Output module had a Quality dropdown: Full, 300 ppi, 150 ppi, 96 ppi and 72 ppi. Thanks! I decided to compare the CS4/Bridge results to those I got in CS2 with its convenient File/Automate/PDF Presentation/Multi-Page Document routine that I like.
My project was an 8-page PDF made from scanned pages of handwritten notes into which some fairly small type had been insert using the Photoshop CS2 Type tool. In Photoshop CS2, I had settled on "medium quality" JPEG compression as giving a "reasonable" file size (about 7 MB) and "very good/excellent" image quality. I experimented with making the PDF in Bridge, using all five Quality levels. See table below. The Bridge "good minus" file was about the same size as the file produced in CS2, which I judged to be "very good/excellent" and slightly better visually than the 300-ppi, 23.5-MB Bridge file.
Bridge Quality:
Full
300 ppi
150 ppi
96 ppi
72 ppi
File Size:
25.2 MB
23.5 MB
7.6 MB
3.2 MB
2.1 MB
Subjective Quality:
Very good
Very good
Good minus
Poor
Useless
I appreciate that you may not be all that interested in these observations, but it seems to me that Adobe has done us no favors in the multi-page PDF department in going from CS2 to CS4!
Install the Old Contact Sheet/Picture Package Plug-Ins
I had already done this some time ago, in order to get in CS4 the File/Automate/Contact Sheet II feature I liked in CS2. It does not appear to me that this plug-in has anything to do with make multi-page PDF's. Perhaps I'm missing something.
Again, thanks for your response!

How Can I get extend of ThemeBasedFOI layers

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how I can get extend of ThemeBasedFOI layers. With this information I try to center my theme based FOI.
So far I tried two ways:
- My first trial was getLayerBoundingBox method of ThemeBasedFOI class. However the resulting SdoGeometry was the extend of the whole map. After I zoom out/in, pan I can not center my FOI with getLayerBoundingBox result.
- My second trial was getFOIDataEntries method of ThemeBasedFOI class. Through iteration (of FOI data) I try to find layer extend. However, when the layer content was polyline or polygon the method was failed. Since I can only reach the first coordinate of the foi data entries. The failure was dramatic if there is only one FOI data in layer (for this case I can not even has clue about the extend).
How can I get ThemeBasedFOI extend (now and future)? I also wonder if there is anybody there getting the true result from getLayerBoundingBox method. I also expect that I will utilize this method in future without any problem.
Thanks for help and interest.

JenJenTen,
I understand that having a preset text that you did not want can be a bit frustrating when sending out text. To clarify, is the preset message like a signature at the end of your text? Does this only happen in text messages or when your send emails also? Is your SMS delivery confirmation on? Messaging>Settings>SMS delivery confirmation.
