Extend background tool in PS CS4

Before CS4 come out, some promotional video was running on adobe.com , what we can expected from it. there was video about "extend background tool" , with good my attention, because that is very often what I am doing. It was showing how ease you can extend background, with this tool, in case, you object is out of center or too close to edge. Since then I forgot about it, till now somebody asked me, if I am using it , cos I talked about it before.,
Adobe support , when I asked , give me answer, that first I have a registered my product, a then they ca answer. They close case, before I could give them my register info. Anybody remember that video? Anybody know where is a tool?

That is how I doing it. But that was
a tool ,in that demonstration , that showed a landscape and extended background with one click. this is not a tool, this is a technike,...
thanks anyway, Rudy

Is there a 3D rotate tool in Photoshop CS4 (non-extended)?

I have just installed Photoshop CS4 of my new iMac. Although I had been led to believe that even the non-extended version came with the 3D rotation tool, in fact, I can find no evidence of it! Was I misled? If so, I am sad. Please advise how I might find it, or even add it?

Yes, you are probably right about how I was led to believe the 3D tool was on the "basic" CS4 Photoshop. Thanks very much.

Hi Meredith,
Illy aka Adobe Illustrator aka AI.
Photoshop CS4 (non Extended) has a Rotate view tool that works with support video cards to rotate the document canvas. Could that be what was mistakenly called out as 3D rotate tool. (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/?view=topnew) Depending on the configuration/age of your iMac model you may not se this.
All the 3D features in Photoshop are for Extended only. (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/?promoid=DRHXB)

Selection tool in my CS4 doesn't work

The Selection tool in the tools panel (Flash CS4) is supposed to allow the user to select a portion
of a bitmap image to convert to a symbol. All mine does is drag pieces of the image
around, ie move stuff! If it's not a bitmap image,but a gif or jpg, the tool just drags the entire image
around the stage.
Is this version defective, or is there something that's not set correctly? Thanks!.

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

Help! - tool in Illustrator CS4 missing

Hi! This tool in Illustrator CS4 is missing! How do I solve this problem?? I have tried several things , but nothing helped!

Sorry, I can't find Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings?
please look here: http://screencast.com/t/Le732Z2DsbtE
I have look through every folders under Adobe Illustrator .
I have a full Create Cloud subscription on my Mac laptop, - but when I am working in my company, in daytime, I use an old stationary Mac which cannot use Create Cloud subscription because this Mac is 6 years old (but works perfectly). This Mac is connected to our CTP.
I take the files down to my company, where I'll take the files in from a USB and into Illustrator 4 - and from there I can then print directly to our CTP. When I am in the company I work daily with Illustrator 4, and on evenings and free time I worked with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014. So I do not really know what to do, I have to get Illustrator tool to work, so I can work from there to our CTP

Using the fill option with the marquee tool in PS CS4

Using the marquee tool in PS CS4 for Windows XP, i can't seem to figure out what all the icons mean--and I'm thinking that SOMEWHERE there must be some files where all these many tool panels and options panels are schematically described for the public? I'm trying to figure out how to put in a fill when I make a circle on a layer. The way of doing it in CS3 seems to have changed, but I can't figure out how as when I hover over the icons, PS doesn't give me any help in identifying them, even though I have "show tool tips" selected in the preferences. Thanks so much for your help.

A way to do this with great flexibility is to make your Selection and then use Shift Delete and choose what you wish to fill with from the choices in the subsequent dialog.
[I imagine that it works the same way in Windows?]

Missing Tools in Bridge CS4

Can anyone tell me why I don't have the Photoshop or Illustrator tools in my Bridge Tools menu? The last command listed is Cache. No Photoshop > Batch... ; Image Processor... ; etc. What did I fail to install or ...? Thanks for your help.

If you had a default installation for the CS4 suite meaning in the root
application folder on your computer and not in the user level it should be
there.
First check in Bridge the Preferences and go to the section start up
scripts. See if PS and Illustrator are listed and checked. If so restart
Bridge holding down option key and refresh preferences. Try again.

Move tool crashes Photoshop CS4

Hey =]
I have quite a large problem with PS CS4,
Whenever I use the move tool, I get the message "Photoshop CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I'm running Vista 32-Bit.
It worked fine until about a week ago when I de-fragged my HDD, I've tried Uninstalling and then Re-Installing, no luck.
So I tried to delete my preferences, again nothing, so then I tried resetting the tool preferences, once again, no luck =/
I also tried Installing my old copy of CS3 and the same problem occurred.
I have the latest version of CS4, my drivers are up to date and so is my version of Windows.
Any Ideas? They'll be much appreciated.
Thanks =]

Look in the Vista event log and post the crash information please.
Update PS CS4 to 11.0.1?
Did you try to delete the prefs the MANUAL way? Here is how to do it in case you didn't.

Clipboard/background colour in Illustrator CS4

I'm finding the clipboard colour in Illustrator CS4 very distracting when working - is there any way of setting this to a default of white as per CS3 (and also available in photoshop CS4).
The default clipboard colour is an off-white and doesn't appear to be very neutral on my screen.
The only way round I have found is to view the background/clipboard as a Transparency Grid and then make the transparency grid white, or hide the artboard altogether (which is annoying), both of these cannot be set as a default.
I have included a picture of a corner of the artboard, showing it against the clipboard.
Would appreciate a solution!
Cheers,
N

Thanks for that - another good solution but not possible for this to be a default setting either.
Does anyone else find this issue a problem - it seems strange to me as Indesign CS4 and the old version of illustrator both have pure white backgrounds, which are (arguably) easier to work with.
It seems a step backwards to have a fixed coloured background! Please make it a preference option Adobe!

Missing tools in photoshop CS4

Hi there,
I've just taken the plunge and bought Photoshop CS4. I installed it but when I first went to use it it appears that the tool palette is incomplete. The magic eraser isn't there. The plain old eraser is, but there is nothing behind it. The same thing occurs for the other layered tools in the palette. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it easily fixable? Or did I get a lemon???
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
ChristineH40

Thank you, thank you, thank you... That worked. I thought I was going
crazy there for a while.

Missing tools in Illustrator cs4

hey,
This problem is driving me crazy. I have Adobe Illustrator cs4 installed (win.Vista), it runs o.k but I'm missing a lot of tools- I get all the main tool groups but the groups wont open` so I have the line tool but not arc or spiral, I have warp tool but not twirl or bloat, text area but not text path and so on.
I have tried redirecting to plugins>tools via the edit>preferences>plug-ins and scratch disks dialog, but then when I load the software I get an error notice saying that some of the plug-ins conflict with... and it doesn't work. I've also tried deleting the AIpref. file from appdata but that didn't help.
What am I missing? this situation consumes too much of my time and sanity!
thanx

Let me ask a question, are you launching AI from an alias located on your desktop? Another Question did you move the Illustrator folder out of the Illustrator application folder and perhaps to a place where you could more easily launch it?
An alias is a copy of the icon of a folder or directory of fie that links it to the original and looks like the actual originl.
The aliases you know are My Computer, Internet Explorer, Documents etc that you find commonly on a PCs desktop.
This is the scenario that often takes place on a mac and probably would cause the same problem on a PC.
Instead of creating the alias to use as a link to launch the application you either copied the application it self or you moved it to the desktop.
What that means is that some essential links between the application are now broken such as some of the tools and menu items that reside in the Applications folders such as filters and effects, file formats and extensions.So they are not showing.
The way to fix this is either move the application back to to the Illustrator folder and read about how to make an alias or just launch it from the Start menu or delete the copy if you have a copy of the application on the desktop and again either make a proper alias or launch from the Start menu.
I do not know how this might effect the preferences on a PC but on the Mac it sometimes corrupts the preferences and they have to be trashed as well as correcting the problem.
Having written all of this there was another way this can manifest itself on both a Mac and PC and you might do a google search if what I describe above does not apply to you.
It was actually posted here about four or five months ago and it involved deleting a file.

Crop and Marqee Tool problems on CS4

When first launching CS4, the cropping and marquee tools work just like they should, but after a while of use, suddenly I can no long drag the selection to any size I want. I only seem to be able to select small sections using either the marquee or crop tool. If I restart PS it will work fine again for awhile and then fail again. I suspect it may be a memory problem. I have 4.5 gig or ram and am using 75% for PS. Anyone know what is causing this?
And by the way, what the heck happened to phone technical support? I had a phone support contract with Adobe, and the phone number for it has been disconnected. The new number provides no way to access that contract, and waiting times exceed 30 minutes!! What happened, Adobe going out of business?

Stuck with hand tool in Photoshop CS4 under Lion

Title says it all really. I can’t select any other tool and therefore can't do anything with a PSD file except LOOK at it! I've seen mention of this problem in another thread, but that was evidently under Windows. No mention of it in Adobe's list of problems with their products under Lion. PS CS4, OS X 10.7.1 on 27" iMac (April 2010). Fortunately I only use PS occasionally nowadays, but this also means I can't justify the expense of upgrading to CS5.

Thanks, but that's almost entirely about the Windows version, and I've already deleted my settings by launching PS holding cmd-alt-shift down. Made no difference.

After effects and Photoshop server run in background upon opening Encore CS4

Hello all .
Have Cs4 video suite. Received a trail to evaluate awhile back, am now doing so.
One thing I can not seem to find a reason for is that when opining up encore, I notice that AE, Photoshop server and the dynamic link run in the background.
Is that something that is supposed to happen. I have no AE or PP dynamic links in the project.
AE,PP Big resource hog.Photoshop server as well.
I did have links to AE and PP in the project at one time, but no longer.
Every time I close the back ground programs, they come back up.
This normal?? Is there a way to disable?
Thank you for your time

Actually, the first image looks cropped and fit. Compare the bottom edge of both images carefully.
Have you tried to burn a DVD yet? Use an RW disc and test the DVD in a hardware and a software player.
How does Encore's preview compare to the view in the Monitor panel and Menu Viewer?
