CS4 Extended TOOLS question

I just bought this version and am confused as to where the extra tools are when I click the little triangle on the tools. There is supposed to be a red eye removal tool on the "healing brush"..but I cannot find it. Where are these extra tools..I thought they CAME with it?

Try right click on the healing brush tool icon.

Photoshop CS4 Extended quick question

Hello,
My question is simple so I'll keep it brief. I'm able to buy Photoshop CS4 Extended via the University I go to, but I would only use the photography features. Does Photoshop CS4 extended work the same way Photoshop CS4 does in that regard, but with just more advanced features for video etc?
In other words, will Photoshop CS4 extended work the same was as Photoshop CS4 would with my photos?

Thanks,
This is what I thought, but I wanted to make sure considering even with my student discount it's still upwards of $400 and with no return policy once opened.
Enjoy it you lucky guy!
Most of us have to pay a lot more, especially here in UK!

Photoshop CS4 Extended Trial question?

If I download the trial of PS CS4 Extended and then later purchase the full version can I use the key from the full version to activate the trial?
Or would I have to uninstall the trial and install the full version?
Thanks.

In theory yes but, bearing mind all the problems being reported here, I wouldn't do it.

After a re-install, it is impossible in Photoshop CS4 Extended to give a preset size to the Crop Tool. How can I het it back?

After a re-install of Photoshop CS4 Extended, because of problems with my iMac, it is impossible to give a preset size to the Crop Tool.How is that possible - and how can I repair that?

Did you trash the Photoshop's preferences before re-installing?
Reinstalling without trashing the preferences is futile, as you still have all the corruption there.
Quit Photoshop now and trash preferences:
Hold down Command, Option, and Shift keys while starting up Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking if you wish to delete the preferences/settings file. Click on yes.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

Photoshop CS4 Extended- change from PC to Mac and a lost licence key.

Hi,
I have been trying to get into adobe chat to ask these two questions, however it always comes up with an 'chat is unavailable' and I'm unsure of where else to turn- as there is no email contact and no number.
I bought Photoshop CS4 Extended (Student edition) a few years ago and got a disk which i have been using on all my pc computers (deactivating old computers and re-activting new ones), However i have now changed to Mac- and the disk will not load on the mac as it is set for windows. I have then tried to download, CS4 online- but my licence key comes up with a red cross and it will not be accepted. I have looked at other chats and looked at different sites to download the cs4 (and apparently the extended cs4) however i can never find the right download or its just a read me pdf document.
I just want my CS4 photoshop on my new mac computer and unsure how to get it.
Secondly i lost a licence key when one of my family computers died- and have only had one licence key since then. I'm just wondering is there a way to get this back?rent
Is there a different way to contact adobe? Chat just doesn't seem to work for me- and i would love to get these two questions cleared up.
Thanks,
Rachael

Prior to the subscription models—and of course that includes CS4—the Photoshop license was platform specific, either Windows or Mac, but not both. Your CS4 Windows serial number ("key") will never work on the Mac version.
CS4 is out of the loop as far as requesting a platform swap for a nominal fee. It is no longer supported by Adobe in any way. A platform swap required the destruction of your PC version, so you could not use both the PC and the Mac versions.
For a time, you could have used CS4 to upgrade to CS6 for about $200, but that time window has closed by now. Now you would have to own a legitimate version of CS5 in order to be eligible to buy an upgrade to CS6.
You can of course buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 Extended for $1,000 from the Adobe store:
Creative Suite 6
Alternatively, you can subscribe to Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC2014 on a monthly basis without ever owning the software. If you stop paying monthly, the software ceases to work.
The cheapest subscription is the Photography plan, which includes both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 a month.

Photoshop CS4 extended

Can anyone tell me the difference between Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 extended? I bought the extended Version at the end of 2009. I had only been working with Photoshop Elements until then and I didn't need a user's guide for that. What are the "extensions" on CS4 extended? I cannot find any information anywhere and neither the installation CD nor the included "learning Adobe Creative Suite"- CD contains a user's guide that would answer my question. I'd really be grateful for an answer.

I'm having a problem creating a slide presentation in CS4. Is this a feature spec
ific to CS4 extended?

Opening raw images in PHotoshop CS4 extended

I appologize in advance for this DILETTANTE question. I was happily using Lightroom II until recently when I decided, like an idiot, to buy Adobe Design Suite, which includes Photoshop Cs4 Extended.
I am unable to open raw images, I get "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.". The camera I use right now is Canon 5D Mark II. Lightroom does not have any problem either importing the raw images from the card or importing them from my hard disk, if I had already copied them there from the camera card.
Could anybody help me?

For that camera you need the ACR plug-in version 5.2 or higher; you probably still have 5.0 from the installation of the software.
Check in PS Help > About Plug-in...
For 5.5 for Mac look here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4577
For 5.5 for Windows here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4578

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.

3D Features Not Appearing in CS4 Extended

Hi -
I have a license for Photoshop CS4 Extended (Windows) and for some reason whenever I install it the software appears to be installing as regular non-Extended CS4. At least, the 3D menu items don't appear, and when I go to "About Photoshop" it doesn't say extended.
Before you ask the obvious question, yes -- I have double-and triple-checked that my serial number and license are for the Extended version. It says it right there on the package, on the CD, and on the sticker with the Serail Number.
So what gives? I'm pretty sure this was working before -- I had to wipe my machine and reinstall everything recently, and now it's not showing up. Is there something else I need to do when installing? Is there some hidden option I need to turn on?
Please help!
Thanks,
Matt

If it's a serial number issue there's only one recourse: Call Adobe support.
But double check to make sure your display driver is providing the proper features: Go into Edit - Preferences - Performance, and double check that Photoshop is showing OpenGL enabled. If it isn't, but your hardware should support it, then you'll want to go visit the web site of the maker of your video card and download and install the latest display driver*.
*Note: ATI's Catalyst 12.1 driver doesn't work well with Photoshop CS5 - I don't know if it will have the same problems with Photoshop CS4, but if you have an ATI video card I suggest going to Catalyst 11.7 specifically instead of the very latest.
