  • Flash panels crashing Photoshop CS4

    Flash panels crash Photoshop CS4 under the following conditions:
    1. The "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" option is activated under Edit > Preferences > Interface.
    2. The flash panel is collapsed to an icon.
    3. You click on the panel icon to display it and run a filter plugin from the flash panel.
    The crash happens when you run the filter plugin from the panel or after you click OK on the plugin dialog. Sometimes the crash happens after the plugin was applied and you do something else in Photoshop.
    I was able to reproduce the problem with my own ThePluginSite panel and the Blow-Up panel of Alienskin.
    If the "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" option is deactivated, there is no crash.
    Can this problem be fixed in Version 11.02 of Photoshop CS4?
     

    What does this have to do with the SDK?  Does it crash in a plugin that you wrote using the SDK?
    Or are you just trying to report a bug in the flash panel code?  If so, use the normal bug report form, and include details so we can work with Alien Skin to resolve the problem.

  • Photoshop CS4 CRASH on using Flash Panel from SDK examples

    Hi!
    I'm trying to create a panel using Flex, flash and javascript. But I cannot finish tutorials - they all CRASH photoshop with almost the same code in init() function when using CSXSInterface.** functions.
    When I comment those ones, it's all ok (the script loses functionality, but panels don't crash).
    For example this code
    CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("PhotoshopRegisterEvent", charToInteger("setd").toString());
    crashes my Photoshop CS4.
    What's wrong? AIR logger doesn' say anything.
    Thank you!

    I have exactly the same problem. Can anybody put some light on this issue?

  • Photoshop cs4 - changes seen only in small layers panel window

    Hello.  I am operating from a mac, using Photoshop, CS4.  When I make any kind of change or alteration to my image, the change shows up only in the layers panel small display window, not on the actual image.  I have the correct layer selected etc.

    Is the layer you are editing the topmost in your layers panel? Is it getting obscurred by a layer above it — perhaps even a blank white layer?

  • Photoshop CS4 Installation Crash Issues

    Hey all.
    I was installing the trial version of CS4 (on Vista) when my power went out. When I tried to install again, I kept getting this error message:
    >- undefined
    >- The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media
    I checked the log and these are the errors I picked up:
    >Failed to create payload session.
    >Unable to load fileOptions from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\faf656ef605427ee2f42989c3ad31b8\resources\pages\Install\Options\Op tions.js

    I've tried a ton of different *solutions* to try and fix this. My attempt to uninstall via control panel failed, i got the same error message is the install. I can't find any CS4 folders in the regedit, so that didn't work. I downloaded windows install wizard utility, ran that, as well as the adobe cs4 cleanup script.
    I manually deleted the common files > installer folder. I even uninstalled the illustrator CS4 trial.
    Lastly i did a system restore.
    Nothing seems to work.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Could You post the file (provided it’s not too big) or at least a screenshot of the 3D (Materials)-Panel with some of the problematic Material selected?

  • Photoshop CS4 Crashes When Deleting In Explorer Window

    I'm running Windows 7 with gigs of hard drive space and 9 gigs of fast RAM. Whenever I open a file in Photoshop CS4 Extended (v.11.0.1) the "Open" file explorer window pops up and I then navigate to any image folder. If I'm in this window and see any file I don't need any longer and try to delete it PS crashes. I get the "Photoshop no longer responding" error and it shuts down. Other times it happens while I'm working on a file, sometimes when applying filters. The following error always shows up in the Event Viewer:
    Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 11.0.1.0, time stamp: 0x499bf9b5
    Faulting module name: QTCF.dll_unloaded, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4aa21f2c
    Exception code: 0xc0000005

    Faulting process id: 0x1fec
    Faulting application start time: 0x01ca793f11f8305d

    Faulting module path: QTCF.dll
    Report Id: 92ee343e-e532-11de-8888-0024e81c8cb0
    I've looked everywhere for an answer and Google doesn't have anything. I did try the following as suggested on other forums for similar crashes:
    Repaired/replaced the QTCF.dll file (Apple QuickTime DLL)
    Ensured fonts aren't corrupt
    Ran diagnostics on RAM, HD and system incl. registry - All OK
    Ensured scratch disks were local and correct
    Deleted PST temp files
    Tried starting PS without preferences
    Reduced/Increased memory allocation
    Installed latest video drivers from ATI
    Reinstalled PS CS4
    Any idea what is going on? This is seriously affected my workflow and I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jim

    According to a few google searches the dll has to do with either itunes or quick time. The quick time fix was to go to control panel, programs, click on quick time then repair. If you have itunes install do the same but there might not be a repair option when you highlite.
    Go to the adobe website to see if there is a quick time viewer for Windows 7 64 bit.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    I don't have itunes or Quicktime installed on either computer. I can't remember if the CS4 Extended disk install quicktime. All I installed off the Disk was CS4 Extended and Bridge.

  • Set default printer in Photoshop CS4

    I'm a long-time Photoshop user (since Photoshop 3), upgraded to CS4 many months ago, and just updated my printer.  It is one of these all-in-one jobs that prints, copies, and faxes.  It has two printer device drivers: one for normal printing and one for the fax function.  The problem is (I think) that it seems to default in Photoshop to the fax function.  Therefore, when I try to print out a 4x6 photo @ 200ppi, it still defaults to 8 1/2 x 11 format (that you would get with a fax machine).
    In CS4, from the main menu, File > Print.  In the pop-up it says 8.5 ins x 11in.  I checked [X] Scale to fit Media, and now it says print resolution 109ppi (yikes ... I wanted 200ppi).  "Bounding Box" was checked as a default, so I left it checked (what is that, anyway)?  The 8.5 x 11 does not go away.  Clicked [Print].
    A Print menu pops up.  It says, for some strange reason, HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Series fax ... yikes ... in last screen it didn't say fax, so I selected the 8500 option without fax (presume that is the printer). Clecked Preferences, and got "Printing Preferences" popup.  My default printing shortcut was selected (which is for mornal B&W draft-quality text) -- so I checked Photo Printing-Borderles.  Paper size defaluted to Borderless 4x6in, HP Advanced Photo Papers, Best Quality, grayscale off, and changed orientation from landscape to Portrait.  Under "Features" Basic Options were HP Advanced Photo Papers, Best Quality, Portrait (instead of Landscape) ... paper size was set to Borderless 4x6in.  Print in Color.  Clicked OK. That closed the Popup and returned me to the Print panel.  Clicked "Print"
    Got a 1.25" wide by 2" high print ... NOT a 4x6.
    As I dig down into the menus, it appears to be initially defaulting to the "FAX" drivers for CS4, not the printer drivers.  That's probably why it keeps coming up 8 1/2 x 11 at 109ppi.
    What did I do wrong?
    Thanks !!

    Photoshop CS4 uses an old (introduced in Win16?) printing API that limits the printer name length to 30 or 31 characters. With your printer name, that gets you halfway into "Series" and anything past that will be ignored.
    The simple solution is to rename your printer to something shorter. Go into the control panel, printers and faxes, and right-click on the printer and choose "Rename" and rename the printer. That should resolve the problem.

  • Unable to print from Photoshop CS4 in an iMac OS 10.6.3 to large format printer Epson 11880

    Hi there! I was wondering if you could help me with this case.
    Old computer: Mac G4  (purchased in 2002)
    Old OS: OS 10.4.11  (Tiger)
    CPU: Dual 1.25 GHz
    Memory: 2 RAM
    Software: Photoshop 7
    Hardware: Large format printer: Epson 11880 (64” wide monster). Prints large posters, banners, etc.
    As you can see, it is time for an upgrade...
    New computer: iMac
    New OS: OS 10.6.3  (Snow Leopard)
    Processor Name: Intel Core i7
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 4
    Memory: 16 GB
    Software: Photoshop CS4
    Hardware: Large format printer: Epson 11880
    Situation: We hooked up everything and managed to print on the 11880 printer 2 times and printed two large format prints. On the third attempt, we encountered a serious problem...
    Problem: After opening a file in Photoshop and sending it out for printing in the large format Epson printer, the file goes to the printer queue and stays there for 6 seconds, and then it disappears. It does not print. :-(
    What we have done so far:
    We made sure we downloaded the latest printer driver for this printer from Epson’s website.
    The printer driver is correct. The computer talks to the printer and we are able to execute all the commands from the printer utilities panel. (i.e. check ink levels, clean heads, etc.)
    And yes, the printer is okay, because we have been using it with the old G4 machine for about a year.
    This problem got so frustrating, that we thought that something we transferred during the computer installation might be the culprit. So at one point we erased the hard drive on the new computer and reinstalled the operating system, and have not put any files from any old computers into this machine. The computer has nothing else in it. Except: The operating systems, and the Mac applications that come when the Mac comes out of the box. The only other program installed in it is Photoshop CS4 and the printer driver.
    We were wondering if this was just a printing problem, period. So we added a small printer to the computer - and old Epson 2200 we have. We sent a file to this printer and there is not problem.
    Perhaps, the file size might have been an issue? It does not matter. We can send a large 60 MB file to the printer or a small photograph measuring only 8 x 10, and these will linger in the queue for 6 seconds, and disappear never to be printed.
    Temporary relief came when we got rid of Adobe Photoshop’s Preferences file. After getting rid of the file and allowing Photoshop to reconstruct it, we managed to print two large files on the printer. Then it failed again. Tried getting rid of the preferences again, and the trick did not work anymore. :-(
    Another temporary relief came when we created another user in the computer. On the new user account it printed again a couple of times only to fail later.
    And yes, the printer WILL print from other Mac programs. If for instance, we open a file on Preview, and send it to the printer and the file will be printed. And yes, we have managed to print very large files with this method.
    In the last couple of days, we have spent 3 hours on the phone with the guys at Epson. They verified the driver and because the computer seems to be communicating with the printer and printing from other Mac applications, they suspected that the problem is with Adobe.
    We called Adobe once, and spent 30 minutes with an Indian fellow who concluded that the problem was with how the computer handles the spooling. According to him, Photoshop sends the file to the computer and the computer seems to get rid of it. So he passed the buck and told us that the problem was with Apple.
    We called Apple and spoke for 30 minutes with a friendly technician, who transferred us to a higher level techno-geek. I spent 1 more hour on the phone with Apple, and we tried everything. We went through Adobe’s knowledgebase and tried every suggested solution (see Adobe’s KB406452). It was with him that we found a temporary fix of removing the Preferences file, but the solution was short lived. He finally thought the problem was with Adobe as the printer is able to print from all applications EXCEPT Adobe Photoshop.
    We called Adobe for the second time...and after waiting on hold from 1 entire hour, we got an Indian technician, that bless his heart, had a very thick accent and had no expertise, in my opinion. He was good at collecting data and he even made me share my computer screen so that he could troubleshoot the problem. After being constantly put on hold by him (because he had to consult with someone else), he passed the buck and said that it was Apple’s problem. I just told him that it was not as likely because all programs print EXCEPT Photoshop. After trying what I would consider a “hail Mary” of DELETING all the printers from my Library folder, and not replacing them, he recorded a case number for another Adobe technician to call us in a few days.
    Because the above technician completely blew the Library, I just erased and reinstalled the OS. This time, I did not allow the OS to be updated - from 10.6.2 (that comes in the box), to 10.6.3. We tried printing using the 10.6.2 and had the same problem. :-(
    Conclusion: I think it is a problem of Adobe CS4 not getting along with Apple’s new operating system. The Epson printer is doing fine, because it has been a product that has been in the market for almost 3 years. What is disappointing is that none of the companies wants to man up and say that it is a problem and that they are willing to work on it. Instead they pass the buck to the next company.
    I can’t believe I am the only person experiencing this. Has anyone had this problem, and have you found a solution or workaround for it?

    Dear Doyle, John and Gator Soup,
    Thank you for your kind replies to my problem.
    PS is assigned 70% RAM. In fact, I have never had so much RAM in my life. Files open at lightning fast speed! :-)  We have never considered a RIP as we do not have an intense workload. In fact all the files we have tried to print print well on our old G4 with Tiger and Photoshop 7, which at the moment has saved our butt. However it would be nice to get the new faster machine with Photoshop CS4 to talk to the Epson 11880.
    Yes, we are printing directly to the printer. We have hooked up the computer via a 6 ft USB cable to the unit.
    The specs and pixel dimensions of a typical file we print are:
    Type of file: tif  (in this case it is an RGB file) // However, we avoid any color management from the computer or the printer when printing it at this time.
    File size: 60 MB
    Pixel size: 6796 x 3100
    Print size: 34" x 16" @ 200 dpi
    I have not tried saving it as a pdf yet. Will try that next.
    I did go to the Console on the Mac though, and recorded its activity between 5:14 pm - 5:19 pm when I tried to print a file.
    Remember, the symptoms are:  We send a file to the printer...The file goes to the printer queue, and it lingers there for 6 seconds. The file then disappears.
    Although there is a cryptic message of "invalid colorspace" in the log, I don't believe that the file is corrupt. First because we have tried several files, second because smaller versions of these can be printed in another Epson 2200 printer, and third because the large format images can still be printed using our old G4 machine with Tiger and Photoshop 7.
    This might provide me with extra ammunition for when I call both Adobe and Apple on Monday. Apple has been quite good on customer support - particularly when they upgrade you to higher level geeks. ;-)   Do you have any idea I what time I should call Adobe so that I can get people on the western hemisphere to answer the phone? It seems that after a certain time they start speaking with an Indian accent over there.
    Enclosed, for whatever is worth, is the Console's log:

  • Using CS3 Web Photo Gallery Control Panel in Bridge CS4?

    I found where the styles are located in the library, and it doesn't look like the old templates will work with the new Output feature of Bridge. I want to use my old templates from CS3 that I have customized, and would like to use them with Bridge. I have installed the extra Goodies, but they will only work through Photoshop, not Bridge.
    Is there a way to have Bridge>Tools>Photoshop bring up the legacy version control panel for the Web Photo Gallery?
    Thank you:)

    Hi Paul,
    I'm not a Lightroom user, but the new Web Photo Galleries that come in CS4 are in Bridge. They are Lightroom templates, so there's probably not much difference. I just tried building a gallery in CS4 Bridge with 35 files, and I could not preview more than 10 either through Bridge or in a browser by pressing the preview button. The only way to preview the entire gallery before uploading was by saving the folder, then opening the index file in a browser.
    Web Photo Galleries can be created in Photoshop and Bridge CS4 just like they were in previous versions of Photoshop and Bridge. You do need to configure it using the optional Goodies files since it is not part of the initial installation. It's real easy. The link I posted above has more information. Here it is again:
    http://generatex.com/cs4.html
    If you do that, you'll have the best of both worlds. You'll have the option of creating web photo galleries with html templates in Bridge or Photoshop CS4, previewing them easily (regardless of size), and have the option of using the new Lightroom flash templates in Bridge CS4.

  • Adobe CMM and Photoshop CS4 File Info problems

    I installed the Adobe Color Management Module several days ago.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
    Today when I opened the File Info dialog in Photoshop CS4,I got a blank black window. Same went for the Kuler window and other extensions under the Window menu. Other panels such as the palettes and toolbox were fine.
    I went through reset prefs,reinstalled PS,and reinstalled my video driver.
    Same problems.
    Uninstalled the Adobe CMM and the panels returned to normal.
    I don't know exactly what happened,but something this forum should know about.

    Chris,I downloaded and reinstalled the CMM and the problem repeated.
    File Info: blank, as well as the Kuler, and Connect extensions under the Windows menu. Additionally,any custom panels installed via Configurator also went blank.(although I had uninstalled those on my first round of troubleshooting)
    Again as soon as I uninstalled the CMM,I got the File Info, Kuler, and Connect windows back.
    This is on a Toshiba A205-S5843 running Vista SP1
    I also tried the CMM on a Toshiba A75 (Windows XP)with a trial of CS4 Extended. There were no problems on that configuration with the CMM installed.
    I don't know what it is,but thought it should be passed along.

  • Photoshop CS4 OPENGL Drawing problem with Photoshop CS4

    Hello, I've had this problem since i installed photoshop cs4, and its finally getting on my nerves and i'm looking for a fix.
    I am on Windows XP SP3, NVIDIA 8800GTS. The OPENGL Drawing in Photoshop CS4 works fine, but a lot of times, when i start photoshop, it'll say that OPENGL Drawing is disabled and i'll have to go in to preferences and re-endabe and restart photoshop again to get it working. Please help, it's really annoying

    NVIDIA apparently does not update their drivers specifically to correct Photoshop CS4 incompatibilities. There release notes have never mentioned bugs or fixes relating to Photoshop.
    Try setting the 3D settings to Performance (rather than Quality) in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

  • Photoshop cs4 ORF or DNG files in bridge

    I have installed my Photoshop cs4 in my new computer wich is running windows 7 But I cannot preview ORF or DNG files in bridge I th
    ink this may be a activation problem

    If I do that it doesn't get any bigger just makes the window bigger, not the image
    If that is the case something is wrong with your set up. The slider bottom right  Yammer p pointed you to does alter the size of the thumbnails, not the panel itself.
    Top right are the workspace names, at the right of it is triangle, click on it and choose reset workspace. Otherwise restart bridge holding down option (mac) or control (win) when restarting bridge and choose reset preferences.
    If still out of luck provide more details about your computer (RAM / VRAM) OS version and exact Bridge version.

  • Photoshop CS4 extended freezes on startup for up to 10 mins

    Hi,
    When I select Photoshop to start, it has suddenly started taking an inordinate amount of time to start. This has been timed at 10 minutes!
    The blue loading screen appears and it stops at the point where it is reading preferences.
    No other design suite programs are affected.
    If I open an image in Bridge I can access Camera Raw and open Photoshop from the "Open Image" and this tends to be quicker.
    I have tried resetting the preferences. I have tried reinstalling Photoshop, and made sure it is updated fully.
    The only changes that were made were the manual installation of a Plug in (NAPP Watermark Creator 1.0.5).  This would not install correctly via the Extension Manager, I copied a folder to the  Program Files (x86) / Adobe Photoshop CS4 / Plug-ins / Panels / (Watermark folder goes here) and the file WatermarkService.jsx to the C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Common Files \ Adobe \ Startup Scripts CS4\ AdobePhotoshop / (WatermarkServices.jsx file goes here) both in accordance with the instructions from the creator. Both the file and folder were removed from these locations when this issue began.
    Additionally, I had changed the Scratch Disks settings in the Performance Preferences as suggested to not include the boot drive (C: drive)
    and assigned another disk with more than 60GB of free space to this.
    Resetting the Scratch disk setting to the original C: selection and restarting Photoshop makes no difference.
    Once Photoshop does load there are no problems with its usage.
    Any advice would be gratefully received.

    Well just to point out something.
    By noting that it is effecting both the 32 bit and 64 bit version you pretty much verified that its more then just a application plug-in issue.
    See while both are named Photoshop. they are completly seperate applications using completly different dlls, configurations and even plugins. The 64 bit version does not care what you installed into the 32 bit version's plug in folders and by your description you only added the plug in manually to the 32 bit. it does not use them and they likely would not work and would be ignored even if you put them in the 64 bit plug in folder.
    Is there anything you changed that would have effected both 32 bit and 64 bit photoshop?
