Drawing anime on Adobe Photoshop cs4 without a tablet?

i'm seriously losing my patience with Photoshop bc i can't even draw the outline of an eye without having it all broken and curved. i use the mouse pad thing so its harder for me to focus it. Are there any tutorials or tips that you can share with me?

Use the selection tools rather than trying to draw freehand. The pen tool would be a good choice because you can edit the lines after creating them, but the eliptical marquee tool would produce a realistic eye shape, and you can use Select > Transform selection to fine tune. Then there are Shapes, and if the shape you want it is not already available, Google Photoshop Shapes eye would no doubt find what you are after. Then there is the grid that you can use with Snap to grid, or custom brushes..... I bet even the best Photoshop experts use aids and shortcuts to speed up the process, and to help them create cleaner lines.
But you asked for a tutorial, and Google seems to have lots to chose from

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Installation Error

I'm new to this site and my computer has Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1.
After I installed Photoshop CS4 trial, it failed to install Photoshop, but the rest were successful. I went to get more information and this is the message:
Adobe Fonts All
Error:
Error 1603. Error 1907.Could not register font . Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install fonts, and that the system supports this font.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack
Error:
Error 2.
If there is a topic similar to this one, then I shouldn't be here!

I have been using Adobe Photoshop CS4 for a few months now without any problems or errors.
But last week.. i had a virus problem and decided to do a Clean Installation of my Operating System.
I was not too worried because I have done this millions of times already... and know the process like the back of my hand.
Well.. after the clean installation was complete, i started to load my applications.
To my surprise.. Adobe Photoshop CS4 would not install. Nor would Adobe Illustrator CS4.
It would get to the screen "Adobe is beginig the installation process" and would stall ..
At first... i thought it would eventually complete on it's own.. but after a few attempts and hours of the same screen with no progress.. it was obvious Adobe was no longer responding at that stage.
I searched high and low, night and day, over a few days trying to figure out the problem.
I was trouble-shooting everything.
In the middle of trouble-shooting, i took a break to surf the Net and see if i could find any suggestions when i ran into this Forum.
Someone mentioned disabling your Internet Security & Windows Defender.. and i thought.. no way.. it can't be that easy.
Well.. what do you know.. it was my Internet Security (Kaspersky Internet Security 2010)
After disabling Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, Adobe flew right pass the part where it was stalling, and finished installation without incident.
Adobe Illustrator CS4 also installed without any problems ...
I just wanted to share my experience as i know how frustrating it can be when software refuses to install.
Good Luck to everyone.. be patient.. trial & error. .. and im sure you'll figure it out.

"downloaded Photoshop CS4 here and i tried to install as trial (30 days), Error: "Please insert Photoshop C4 into drive E:/ to continue instalation" what's wrong? What should I do? To install free trial? Tks"
@ ApologetX
I had a similar problem when i extracted the contents of my Adobe DVD and made an ISO file out of it so i would no longer need the DVD for installation.
But what i realized is that.. Adobe will not install if it's installed from the ISO.. and during installation.. an error would pop up.. and ask for the DVD
You probably have done something similar.
Here's what i did to fix:
- Extract the contents of Adobe Photoshop CS4 into a Folder
- and install from that ..
After i extracted the contents and installed from "setup.exe" .. the installation completed without error ..
DVD
- If you're having problems from the DVD .. then try to extract the Contents of the DVD on to your Desktop..
and install from there ..
Trial Installer
- As for the Trial you are referring to .. im not familiar with it ..
but try to extract the contents of it to your Desktop .. and go from there ..
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.

I can't install Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended at all

I downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended (Trial Version) from the Adobe.com website through Akamai downloader. Well, i tried to install it clicking on the set up, but it started to install and a few minutes later stopped and displayed a error message. The message, without error code identifications, just informed that there was an error during the instalation and Adobe bridge and another one could not be installed.
I tried again and it started, but when it was almost finishing another message appeared warning that "there was an error during the instalation(again no code error identification) and that Photoshop could not be installed.
I follow some tips like shutting down the firewall, AV, but it didn't work. I used the system restoring so that i could completely clean up remaining files and tried to reinstall it, but again nothing.
Has anybody any idea?
Thanks

Hi again.

There is a difference between being the Administrator on the computer and right-clicking on the Setup file and choosing "Run as Administrator".
I know that John, when i said that i usually run the system as administator, i meant that i logged on as administrator. Sorry if i caused a misunderstood.
I decided to format the computer again. Perhaps, some problem during the system instalation may have caused this problem. After that, i'll try to install it and see what's gonna happen. I've decided to do it because If it is caused by an instalation error of the main system, it may also cause hassles when using other softwares. But if it is not caused by an instalation error i'll come back to get help.

Deploying Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended over Network - issue

Hi all,
I'm hoping anyone can help me with this issue that has plagued me for a few weeks! First of all, here's the details I have:
* Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended - downloaded media from Adobe website
* Creative Suite Deployment Toolkit - again, downloaded from Adobe website
* Installing to Windows XP with SP3
I ran Creative Suite Deployment Toolkit and set it up including our Volume Licensing key and it output some files including the XML files. I double clicked the AdobeUberInstaller.exe file and it got installed without any issue.
However, when I ran it as silent install via our SMS, it always get stuck at Adobe AIR install with the install log from
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\Adobe Photoshop CS4 11.0 09-02-2009.log
with this at the end of the log file:
[     320] Wed Sep 02 14:12:09 2009 INFO

[     320] Wed Sep 02 14:12:11 2009 INFO

Checking bootstrapper progress
and so on, with no end in sight.
I have left it more than hour. I also have left it all day, the log file is always full of it. I even "told" Creative Suite Deployment Toolkit not to install Adobe AIR and it still tries to install it anyway. I checked the AdobeUberInstaller.xml file and it has <Action>donotinstall</Action> marked for Adobe AIR. So I'm not even sure why it's trying to install it.
This happens on a PC that has Adobe AIR installed. I tried on another PC where it doesn't have Adobe AIR installed and I still get the same thing.
I'm running out of ideas how to get this to work and this is why I'm here to seek further help from you... help?
Has anyone seen this issue before and if so, what was the fix to get it to work?
Many thanks,
Tony Sutton

Hi all,
I received this e-mail from Adobe, so I thought I'd share this with you all for future ref.
Air needs to contact Adobe to get a certificate.   I would recommend not installing this as part of the suite and push out seperately. At any rate, if you AIR remotely, you will need to set the proxy to allow for the certification process. The other option might to create a snapshot of Air with the certificate already in place.
Here is KB article on it   http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408168.html
Thanks all.

Can Adobe Photoshop CS4 be used for 3d modeling?

hello, I know Adobe Photoshop Extended can be used for 3d modeling but can just the normal Adobe Photoshop CS4 be used in the same way because i dont feel like buying it for $1000 but I need Photoshop for my 3d models for texturing. So can the normal Photoshop be used the same way as the Extended can and will not make a difference? Thanks
Stephen

I know Adobe Photoshop Extended can be used for 3d modeling
No - it can't do 3d modelling - what it can do is 3D rendering, to some extent. Photoshop CS4 extended only has primitives (cubes, rhombus etc) and these are not editable. So full 3d rendering is not possible. You have to load in models created in other software,
Extended's 3D capabilities are in the process of development - meaning that they decided to INTRODUCE it into CS3 and 4, but its far from the finished article. Both in terms of interface and capabilities. Now the rendering, animation capabilities, and ease of use is better than most people realise - but it sill has efficiency, and design problems, which need to be reassessed. Its more like BETA2 than finished product.

Problem installing adobe photoshop cs4

Hi I have issue installing the adobe photoshop cs4.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details.

Failed to install Adobe Bridge CS4 & Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Windows)

I have done everything Adobe had instructed me to do. From the clean script to the clean up utility. Ended up doing a restore point to recover lost programs in the add/remove programs. Adobe neglected to tell me to back up files first. I have even uninstalled every adobe program that I could and tried to install once again. I did restart my computer each time I performed an action on my computer. I am back to square one on trying to install my Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended software. If anybody has any suggestions or solutions I would appreciate any help that you can give. I need this program for a photography class that I am enrolled in. Classes already started & I cannot complete my first assignment without this program. Please help me if you can. Adobe sure couldn't
This is one of the worst experiences I have encountered with installing a program. I have a headache from all of this!!!
Thank You
Diana

So should I manually delete everything that says Adobe?
No, god forbid. That would be disastrous and make the situation worse. Please download the CS4 Clean Script and have it remove all traces of your damaged install. Then, look through your Add or Remove Software list in your system control panel and uninstall everything that still referes to Adobe, including AIR, Adobe Media player, Adobe Reader etc.. Once done, run the Microsoft Installer Database Cleanup that you were required to downlaod for the CS4 script manually. Look for lingering instance of Adobe Installer 2.0 and remove them. Then attempt another install. Warning: If you have other working Adobe software on your system, it would be smart to deactivate it. All the previous operations may render the software defunct and you will be required to reinstall.

Hier eine Stellungnahme des Autors von PTBSync. (www.netcult.ch/elmue)
Die Schriftart Ptb_Clk2.ttf enthält die Zeiger und das Ziffernblatt der Analoguhr, die PTBSync auf dem Desktop darstellen kann.
Diese Schriftart wurde mit Corel Draw erstellt.
Der Desktopkalender von PTBSync wird vom Internet Explorer generiert, der keinerlei Probleme hat, die Schriftart korrekt anzuzeigen.
Wenn du die Schriftart in Word auswählst, kannst du damit schreiben. (Es erscheinen natürlich keine Buchstaben sondern Zeiger)
Wenn du die Schriftart in Paint Shop pro auswählst, funktioniert sie ebenfalls.
3 Programme die problemlos funktionieren, zeigen, dass die Schriftart nicht das Problem ist.
Was das Problem ist, ist hingegen ganz offensichtlich:
Generell gilt: Ein Programm das abstürzt, ist IMMER fehlerhaft programmiert.
Ein korrekt programmiertes Programm zeigt hingegen eine Fehlermeldung, wenn es mit einer Datei nicht klarkommt, aber es stürzt nicht ab.
Adobe Photoshop Elements CS4 hat einen Programmierfehler, der zum Absturz führt.
Adobe hat dieses Problem bereits erkannt und behoben.
Installiere dir also eine neuere Version und es gibt keine Abstürze mehr.
Wenn du das aus irgendwelchen Gründen nicht willst, lösche die Schriftart Ptb_Clk2.ttf.
Keine Sorge: PTBSync wird wegen einer fehlenden Schriftart nicht gleich abstürzen ;-)
PTBSync wird weiterhin funktionieren, natürlich ohne Analoguhr.

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.

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 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,
Hunt

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 (x64) problem on Windows7

Hi, everyone. I have a problem with Photoshop CS4 (x64) running on Windows7 (x64). When I try to launch x64 version I get message "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." It was working fine before and only today it have broken. By the way, Photoshop CS4 (x86) works perfect, I can't launch only x64 version. Have you any idea how to solve this problem?
(re-installing Photoshop don't fix it)
