Fireworks8 w/ photoshop cs2 issue

when i open a .psd in fireworks, some of my graphics become
extremely 'ugly' even after optimizing them in fireworks, they just
dont look as attractive as when in photoshop.
i am new to fireworks so please bare with me. any info on how
to obtain the exact same quality for some images would be great.
thanks.

Could be a lot of things... but #1 in my experience is FWs is
opening your
image at less than 100% Check the bottom right hand corner.
Probably nothing
as simple, but this has caught me out before now.

Photoshop CS2 issues & Customer Relation's solution

i bought a g5 quad in June 06 that failed in july 06. they were unable to resolve the issue and gave me a replacement machine.
i was given a mac pro with 4GB of RAM and a terabyte of internal storage. the 2 oem 500GB Seagate 7200.10 hard drives took over 9+ hours to zero out: the apple store genius told me this was normal. i have since purchased 2 different hard drives. one of the same capacity which zero's out in under 2 hours. that number IS normal.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 Bridge and Camera RAW have never worked properly on this machine since i got it, quitting all the time when renaming files or browsing my hard drive folders in Bridge. i was told that this is normal and that CS3 and Leopard will fix all this. then the CS3 Beta came out and the machine quits even with the new version.
i contacted Adobe, they say it is my hardware. i went to the apple store and showed them the problem and was able to duplicate it on every mac pro in their store and they said it must be a software issue.
i bought more RAM from apple. the machine works somewhat better now, but it still crashes in photoshop and adobe camera raw and bridge. i purchased lightroom and have looked at changing my workflow, and this program too quits intermittently.
i called apple customer support again. they walked me through using a different user account. same issues. i asked to speak to customer relations. i got on the phone with the lady, and i asked if it was possible to send someone out to look at the machine since it is not working properly, and she said that it is not something they would do since it is not their problem. i asked if they would be able to help me decipher the crash logs so i can find out WHY the machine is crashing.
her exact words were, "well, maybe you can sell it? if it is giving you all these problems and since it is not our hardware, it might be best for you to sell it and buy something that works."
"sell it." i would like to say that "sell it" was not the answer i was looking for. i wasn't even mean to her. i was extremely polite and i got, "sell it" from customer relations. i hope none of you get "sell it"
good luck to all of you.

You use to use Windows but decided to move to Macs at some point, and not look or go back. And that the Quad G5 worked up until some point.
When I got my Mac Pro back in late August/early Sept, I ran into some oddities that no one could help me with. Drivers from Lexmark for their laser printers. Suffice to say that I spent weeks if not month trying to track down why etc. and doing the "clean install" but ended up with the original install disk image.
I'm always afraid if I am forced to install any drivers for now as a result.
I updated SoftRAID (I thought) and ran into every driver and extension conflict possible, known and unknown.
Clean install and avoided anything I could "live without" this time around, and it was stable. For a few days, any and every - and I mean absolutely anything I tried to launch, run or whatnot would CRASH.
I was ready to point fingers. But at whom? ah! must be the Ramjet. Passes all tests, but there must be a gremlin and nothing is good enough to find the cause.
System is now rock solid and stable.
I don't know really what or why. And whether it was SMC reset (I wish they would paint the button in RED!) or zapping PRAM/NVRAM.
I also installed Vista to see if it was OS X or hardware or not. But I never learned what is needed to really use and secure a Windows system - or troubleshoot it if it goes haywire. But you would.
I have spent 40+ yrs tinkering with computers, and 20 with Macs. I think I still remember some of the troubleshooting days from 1990 hunting down shareware bugs.
If it is hardware, it would fail running XP too, maybe? did you retain your license for and copies of Windows and CS2 or whatever you would use? (The Mac Pro really shines running Windows Vista from what I've seen).
It doesn't take a lot to turn a Mac into a crash-prone system. There are some bugs even with the OS update installer itself it seems.
Troubleshooting is as much art as science. Hunches based on what feels wrong with some sweat and guesses backed by some "CSI" sleuthing and detective work.
Only Apple or Intel would know if they have had to come out with re-designed chips, a newer motherboard, or cpus. Or the AMB used on the Risers.
As I said (5 pages ago?) a friend had a G5 Quad that would not run CS2 properly, was crashing etc. (and had on-site Care etc) and the latest logicboard (3rd) stopped the problems, CS2 runs faster and better, it doesn't crash, and the benchmarks show it.
There are revisions to logic-boards. I read it takes 3-6 months to get a pattern of a problem, and another 3-6 months to redesign parts, manufacturing, testing, between engineering prototypes and manufacturing.
I thought the whole idea of AppleCare was sort of the "care" in AppleCare. And to solve a problem.
It would take someone with access to what engineering errata is going on. What changes were made to G5s. There were other problems with Quad it seems as well, heat, the liquid cooling components (there are two varieties).
I don't have the stomach or temper to deal with customer service, phones, etc. But I would make an appointment (yes, again!). I don't know what terms there are for small business or customers to get premium care, probably not good.
We had a mainframe with a bad memory card or bank. We thought. We also swapped out every part trying to get it fixed. We even had to keep the room temp colder and controlled humidity. A new system for us would have been lower maintenance, lower energy bill, less strain on a/c even. And smaller (so we didn't need to use as much floor space). But government can be "penny wise and pound foolish" in such matters.
I know you are just getting familiar with things like "Onyx" and "Disk Warrior" and such. Those can be helpful.
Crashing does tend to lead to more crashes. Mac OS X is not immune to side effects of what they can do. And usually you want to finish a project, not get sidelined.
I wish you had a G5 Quad in there. Two systems. Maybe two G5s even if you have the work or so you can be running CS2 on one and CS3 on another. Or have a techie "gearhead" come in and test and insure that your systems are in working order. Something.
It ain't normal. And it should get more than a "brush off."

Photoshop CS2 issues

I am having a couple issues with Photoshop CS2. I am running CS2 Std on a HP XW4400 stock system with XP Pro SP2 and all the latest updates. CS2 Std has had all the available product updates applied.
What is happening is the following:
1. Photoshop will randomly crash with a generic application failure message. This can happen while doing just about anything in Photoshop from opening a file to clicking on a tool. The windows event viewer lists a generic application hang.
2. Placing a jpg will not always work, sometimes I get the "no supported filter" message and sometimes it works.
3. Saving as anything other than a PSD, EPS, or PDF will crash the save dialog(sometimes Photoshop) sometimes it works. When it crashes the dialog sometimes trying to save immediately after will work.
I have done tried the following to try to resolve the issue:
Checked for new updates
Checked for Adobe Knowledge base articles regarding the issues
Ran hardware diagnostics for HD, and RAM. Did a disk check on XP Everything checked out OK
repair install
uninstall and reinstall
uninstall removal of all registry entries and reinstall
Format and reload of the entire OS, re-application of all patches, re-installation of CS2 and all patches
My next try after the forum is likely several hours on the phone with Adobe support
The issues occur with multiple files and filetypes in multiple network and local computer locations.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Check your computer's memory using a utility such as Memtest 86+ (free download at www.memtest.org). If you see any errors at all, remove half of the memory sticks and re-test. Repeat until you have one module that tests clean, then add them back one at a time. If an error appears, mark the added module as bad, remove it, and replace with the remaining one(s) until all have been tested.
If you have a Microsoft Mouse and Intellipoint software, try uninstalling Intellipoint. There was a known issue with this in CS3 but it may not apply to CS2.
Crashes on my system were traced to bad memory and once fixed, it was rock-solid.

Photoshop CS2 Issues After Latest Secuirty Update

I am working on a Power Mac G5 with Mac OSX 10.4 and Adobe CS2. I do not know if it was the security update that caused these problems in Photoshop for me, but that was the only thing that had been installed around the time that the problems started happening.
The issue is that when I have the Move Tool and several layers in groups. When I have a layer inside one of the groups highlighted and I want to move it, suddenly PS selects the whole group and moves it as well. I have checked to see if there were any sort of links to the layers and there are not.
It is a weird issue and since this is a work machine it is very important to get PS working again. At the moment I have to work on a Windows machine to get things done.
Thanks for any help that you can give me.

Eric,
Mac OS X 10.4? Or 10.4.11? Or...?
Before running the security update, did you repair permissions? Run DiskWarrior? Try resetting the tool preferences, and/or Photoshop preferences?

Photoshop CS2 issue after 0.4.6 update

I used software update to install the 10.4.6 update. was running 10.4.5 before that.
Photoshop now crashes after I save tifs/psds/dcs's. If i use save for web, it does not crash. The files that are saving when it crashes seem okay (good thing!) but it is annoying to have to keep opening, besides what internal damage this process is doing.
Anyone have a fix?
thanks,
brian

I am saving to a Appletalk-mounted volume.
When opening a file from said server, and saving to the desktop, it crashes, too.
When opening from the desktop and saving to the desktop, it does not crash. I guess I am being further forced from working off of the server : (
(I know that Adobe officially does NOT support saving over a network).
Thanks for your help

Photoshop CS2 and windows issues! help!

Hi, I'm working with someone who is having issues with Adobe Photoshop CS2 among other Adobe problems. The problem is that after Photoshop is loaded, the interface is very messed up. You can't open a file because if you go to menu -> file nothing happens. If you try to create something new, most of the buttons will be invisible in the option for sizes. The program simply becomes unusable. After a restart, the program will work properly for a short period of time and being to behave oddly again. On loading Photoshop, windows gives an error beep but the program loads anyways and no error window comes up. This happens on illustrator as well as indesign. I have uninstalled everything and removed all shared files that adobe uses and reinstalled everything from scratch, the same problem happens. This only started happening recently.
OS is XP pro SP3.
I am about to wipe the computer and start from scratch but I would rather not have to do this if there is another solution!
Please help! Thank you!

No, it's a standard U.S. keyboard and the language is set to english. I believe the software is up to date.
It doesn't freeze when you click on the menu, it just refuses to pop open a window when you try to open a file. Also, many of the option boxes in some of the windows in photoshop are invisible. This only happens after the computer has been on for a short while. Right after a reboot, you can open photoshop fine... until it stops working.

Fonts issue with Photoshop CS2

I'm not sure if my thread in the right forum, but I'm really having an issue with the fonts. It started when I installed MS Office for Mac, Safari was having problems with the fonts. So I referred to one of the posts in the Discussions and I used Font Finagler 0.5.3 to remove the cache fonts, and I deleted few fonts from Font Book, and deleting the fonts solved my issue with Safari. I'm not using Office any more, As I deleted the software.
Now, I've Installed Photoshop CS2, update it with the latest updates available. But I'm having an issue with the fonts! The issue is affecting only the Palette Names in the Palette Well, where the font size seems to be larger than its corresponding tab.
In order to fix the problem, I tried to temporary remove the Fonts folder from the library, restart my MAC, but nothing happen, except error messages of missing fonts in iWork!
I'm wondering if anyone has faced similar problem, or if there is any solution for such an issue.
Kind Regards

Font issue in Photoshop CS2

Hi!
I just encountered a rather annoying problem I don't know how to solve. So far I couldn't find any solution on forums either.
Recently I got the new Intel-based MacBook Pro. Although I had known about the problems beforehand as well as about perfermance issues I now encountered a new problem:
My Photoshop CS2 doesn't render or save fonts properly anymore. They all look wrong.
This problem occured a few days ago and it's only when I create Text layers in Photoshop. When I import Illustrator or PDF files I have no problem but those are pixels or shape objects. The other programmes work fine, no problems with fonts there.
Does anyone know how I can solve this? It's a very big and urgent problem for me as I use Photoshop everyday! Thanks!

The fonts look pixelated and jagged. Even when I print or save them and open that PSD document on a different computer they look that way. I only experience this problem in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign are fine. I work on a MacBook Pro and run Mac OS 10.4.8 on it.
So far I tried to delete the Font Cache as well as Preferences and did a Repair Disk Permissions. No luck.
Not sure whether the driver for my scanner (Canon) that I had downloaded and installed might have cause these problems as this problem appeared afterwards.
I did a search for this problem but couldn't find any other suggestion then to reinstall Photoshop under a new user. Unfortunately I don't really see this as a real solution to the problem.

Unresolved Photoshop CS2 Twain Issue

Hi,
I have an the issue with Adobe Photoshop CS2, when loading it crashes while building twain menu, if I remove the Twain Plugin from the plugins folder in Photoshop then Photoshop launches but this does not solve my problem as i can't scan from Photoshop now. I have read and attempted what is explained on this forum http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7018724#7018724 but it does not solve my problem. I have uninstalled all Cannon software and all Photoshop related files from my mac and reinstalled with the latest drivers but still no luck. the Strange thing is that it was working fine a couple of days ago, nothing changed, it just randomly stopped working.
Can anyone please help me with this issue?? I have a cannon Perfection 3490Photo scanner. thanks

Hi, Reading your discussion I think it might relate to de issue I'm experiencing. (sorry for my language, I'm Dutch)
A week ago Adobe PhotoShop Elements 3.0 worked fine. Then HP ?helped? me installing my C5280 all-in-one printer, problems with creating PDF-Files. They advised me to delete de contents of the "Cashes-folder", as well a lot of files in de "Preferences", all to do with HP or Print.
Now, when I try to start PSE-3.0, I get this massage "The programm PhotoShop Elemenents is unexpected stopped" choose [Quit], [Report] or [Open again].
I have run the installation again, not working. I thrown the folder in the trash, emptied the trash and installed again, same result, not working. Downloaded trail-version PSE-6.0, same result, also not working.
Help from Apple and Adobe, same as mentioned, they blame each-other. so no help.
I'm nearly at the point of total re-install from OS X 10.4.4 but you have to know, " I love the MAC but I'm a knit-with for IT technology.
So, I hope somebody can help me, has a good idea before I throw myself in the unknown world of re-installation.
A little background; after 1000 crashes with my windows computer I have thrown it out and bought myself an Apple. Up to now, very satisfied!!! This is the first real problem, I hope I will not be disappointed so I can tell my "Windows-friends", Apple is still the best.

COLOR ISSUES after edit in Photoshop CS2

OK, I have posted this before and I am surprised that I seem to be the only one with this issue since no one has responded.
I take a RAW file in lightroom, do some adjustments in the Develop Module and then pass off the file to Photoshop CS2 for more work (editing a copy). I do the work in photoshop and save the file. The thumbnail and the preview in lightroom do NOT match the work I did in photoshop. Everything is correct except the color. It is VERY washed out.
If I look at the file in photoshop it is fine.
Color space in both programs is ProRGB. Monitor is calibrated and I have not had any color issues before this. Additonally it only happens on some files. Is there something that I could have done differently that I don't realize that is making the difference?
ANY help would be appreciated.

FIrst off, more info: Platform, RAW type and means of Monitor calibration.

Any known compatible issues between Illustrator CS6 & Photoshop CS2?

Any known compatible issues between Illustrator CS6 & Photoshop CS2?? thanks alot.

What exactly do you want to do with both the apps?
Since the exchange of files from AI to PS is based on PDF, I wouldn't expect problems. The only question is, if Photoshop CS2 will be able to read PDF 1.5, since that's the format AI CS6 embeds in its files. If it doesn't work, you could still save a PDF from AI and make it any other PDF version.
Illustrator can read lower version PSD.
Copy-Paste might be a problem. I can't experiment, since I don't have that PS version any more.

Weird Photoshop CS2 Crashing issue

Weird issue:
Mac Pro - When trying to print a file it quits instantly and you have to restart Photoshop... Now, this only happens AFTER you crop the image... if you print the unaltered photoshop file it prints fine.
Any ideas?

you know what, i have a MAJOR problem with photoshop on my mac pro, and no one seems to want to admit it even though i can duplicate the problem over and over again. Rosetta or not, WHY IS THE CS3 BETA Crashing too? it isn't running under an emulator.
how about you explain that one?
here's the deal, the folks at the apple stores can say how much that their machine works fine with OTHER apps, but in reality, a lot of folks and pros (people doing a creative job for a living - like me) use their machine for one thing. in my case, photoshop. and the simple fact is this: my mac pro does not run photoshop reliably, predictably, or with a shred of stability.
and since you want to go and blame rosetta or some other funky junk like that, i spit on that idea also. FACT: i run photoshop CS2 LIKE A MAD DOG on my MacBook. that is correct, my MACBOOK, not macbook pro... (mostly because my mac pro has been in the shop for the past month and a half and i was afraid to use it before that because i put a raptor in it, thought i fixed the issues and then it kept on doing it)
the mackbook never quits, in either CS2 or CS3. and i mean NEVER. granted the fan screams up to 6000rpms and it is slow, but it does not quit, and it is running in rosetta... HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE WITH INFERIOR HARDWARE???
my case may be extreme. but i have no PPC files migrated over, i did a zeroing out of my drives countless times, and the crashes STILL happen. it makes me sick that one could blame ME for the whole thing when it is undeniably a piece of hardware lurking at fault.
and while we are at it, let me ask this: HOW COME MY LITTLE MACBOOK WILL NEVER QUIT RUNNING CS2 or the CS3 Beta which is being run under THE EXACT SAME OS? it is by specification a far inferior machine... and by my wallet, it costs about $4000 less than my Mac Pro set me back. why don't you explain that? why don't you explain how Rosetta can run photoshop so horribly pitiful on a $5500 machine and so swimmingly on my little MacBook (WITH NO FRIGGIN VIDEO CARD!!!!!!!!!!!)
you sound like the genius who tells me that my desktop runs all these other programs just fine so there is nothing wrong with the hardware and then i take the machine home and it can't run photoshop worth a darn. i didn't buy my machine for any other purpose than to run photoshop. and mine CAN'T!!!!!!!! it doesn't matter if i have 30 programs running or none, if i have items in the startup tray, or none, if i have 20 photos 2000 photos or 2, it can not and does not run reliably, reasonably, or with any resemblance of stability.
very plainly, i bought my machine to run photoshop. it doesn't. there isn't a phantom setting, or some other garbage wrong, it's the mac pro. run all the apps you want as well as you want, but try to run what you need to make money and i guarantee you, you'll be sitting in front of your macbook.
so are you going to tell me now how CS3 and Leopard will fix all this too? like the rest have?
what a sick joke, a $5500+ sick, pathetic joke

Photoshop CS2 activation issues

I recently had to purchase a new hard drive for my computer and had to reinstall my copy of Photoshop CS2. It will not activate or allow me to use it. The Adobe website shows the product is registered to me...so I see no reason for all this trouble. I have spend hours trying to reinstall from the original CD as well as trying from the Adobe website. I am currently one frustrated person who is VERY upset with Adobe at this point. If this is their way of telling me to buy a newer version of their product - it will NEVER happen.
Any usable input would be greatly appreciated. This is certainly holding up my photo work. Thank you in advance!!

The activation servers for all CS2 applications are gone now, but Adobe has made activation free versions of the CS2 apps available here, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l.

Photoshop CS2 RAW (NEF) Issue

Hi,
My RAW (.NEF) files will not open in Photoshop CS2. Everytime I try to open a raw image it says...
"Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
Don't know what to do. CS2 on OSX 10.5.8 with Nikon D90 photos.
I'm going to take a guess here and it has something to do with the Nikon software provided to transfer the photos from the camera/sdhc card?
I'm assuming the software (Nikon Transfer/ViewNX) has overwritten some Adobe plugin or driver?
Anyways, someone please help! I need to edit my photos and this is a pain in the A!
Thanks
Cheers
Mike

Your camera needs the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in version 4.6 or 5.xx.
Neither will work with CS2 – you need to upgrade Photoshop or use the DNG converter.

Photoshop CS2 installation issue

I had to clone my hard drive, and then CS2 didn't work anymore. I downloaded the individual programs from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html, and they installed and ran OK except for Photoshop. At the end of the install I got this error message: "Error 1402.Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\...Adobe Photoshop CS2 - {236BB7C4-4419-42FD-0409-1E257A25E34D}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel." I tried it as the administrator, etc., but I keep getting this message. What can I do?

Hello Jeff,
I am using Windows 7 Pro, and yes, all was operating well before the activation servers shut down. Also, as I said in the initial message, I was able to download and install the CS2 versions of InDesign, Illustrator, and Acrobat (downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html ). When I try to install the version of Photoshop CS2 (downloaded from that same site), I get the error message (right at the very end of install) "Error 1402.Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\...Adobe Photoshop CS2 - {236BB7C4-4419-42FD-0409-1E257A25E34D}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
I'm a high school teacher and I use these programs all the time, so this is becoming kind of inconvenient for me...
Thanks for sticking with me on this,
A. S. Pels
