Help with Photoshop CS4 & Maverick

I can't get my Photoshop CS4 to run on my mac with OS10.9. I'm getting Error: 150:30
What can I do?

My favorite way is to run the python script that comes with the license repair tool.

Download the License Recovery dmg file and carefully follow the instructions for Mac OS 10.7
I know it works, I have successfully recovered from a 150:30 before using this script properly.

Help With Photoshop CS4 + background image

So I'm trying to edit this background image for my myspace page, it looked fine in photoshop cs4, even when I previewed the image with the save to web and devices , the image looks fine. I also saved the iamge with the highest quality settings I could as a JPG. But when I add it to my myspace page the image becomes blurry , it's hard to see everything

I need help with Photoshop CS4 reactivation issue

It may be more than just an activation issue. CS4 has always worked beautifully on my iMac until yesterday when it failed to launch. I tried everything and finally deactivated it, reinstalled it and it still won't launch. I do not have Photoshop CS4 on any other computer. I've been all over the web and ran into many people with the same problem. Adobe won't help resolve CS4 issues so I'm stuck. HELP!!

Does launching it give you an error code?

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine. When I am in Bridge and go to tools/photoshop/batch and run the same script it runs until it wants interaction with preference.rulerunits. How do I get it to quit doing this so I can run in batch mode? Any help is appreciated. HLower
Script follows:

//Check if a document is open
if ( documents.length > 0 )

HELP- Printing Problem with Photoshop CS4

Hello Everyone,
I just bought the PHOTOSHOP CS4, and I am having problem when it prints. The image is not clear, it has dots (pixels). This computer where I installed this program is brand new. I have previously worked with Photoshop CS2 and never had an issue but was force to buy this new one because the computer that I bought has Windows Vista and CS2 is not compatible. I thought maybe the problem was my printer but is not I have a Brother HL-5140 (black and white). I have connected my old computer with the printer and the images print perfectly fine. I have printed photos and it prints clear. But this only happens with Photoshop CS4. It prints dots, can someone please help me. Is driving me crazy.

Really I'd be willing to bet it's your driver under Vista.
I have the same problem using Vista and a older HP LaserJet, under XP and CS2 it prints well. Under Vista it's a bunch of dithered pixelated dots.
They want you to buy a newer printer.

Problem with Photoshop CS4 after migration to new Mac

I just migrated from an old Mac to a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks. I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS4. Specifically, two things:
1) When I open an image in Camera Raw, I get this error:
Fatal error - missing component
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
2) When I try to save anything, it tells me it can't because of a program error.
I've looked around for a solution. Apparently I had to install Java, but that hasn't solved the issue. A couple of people mentioned that reinstalling would work for a similar problem. My problem with that is that my disk is on the other side of the world and my new macbook doesn't have a disk drive anyway. So I logged into my Adobe account hoping to see a download link for software I have licences for, but there isn't one.
So my question is firstly, whether there is a simpler solution to the errors I am getting and, if not, if there's a solution to reinstalling Photoshop CS4 without the disk.
Thanks!

Did you use Apple's migration tool? It misses a lot of support files, especially in the Application Support directories.
You'll have to copy those files manually, or reinstall the app.

Using Lightroom 5 with Photoshop CS4

Hi folks. New Here. I am a novice convert to digital photography and I have browsed the discussions concerning Lightroom and Elements in the main.
Is there any need to buy Lightroom 5 to deal with cataloguing and searching imported RAW images with Photoshop CS4, as Photoshop Bridge 4 comes with Photoshop CS4? What is a good strategy for dealing with libraries of images? I have the chance to aquire inexpensive versions of LR 5 and P CS4.
For your information - I am using a MacBook Pro with a quad core i7 processor, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB Flash drive and my camera is a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS.
Many thanks.

Thanks 99jon,
I appreciate the careful and easy to understand reply, Jon99. Versions of P higher than CS4 are prohibitively expensive for me at this stage. If I get on with digital photography then I might look at the PCS and L CC subscription option in the future.
I went ahead I aquired my bargain basement version of P CS4 and like it so far, but I held back on LR5 until I had a clearer view of what it enables me to do and thanks for the information.
Do you or anyone know if I can sell my version of P CS4 when if I decide to move up to the Cloud solution? Flicking through another Pogue-style book seems to suggest that the latest versions of P CS and L are the current state-of-the-art. Is there a simple list of what users of this option consider to be the main, *essential* improvements of the latest versions of these two pieces of software that possibly make it a must-purchase. I am not after an exhaustive list, but just the main improvements that may make this an essential purchase after I cut my teeth with P CS4.
I am a real novice and have included the specs of my camera and MacBook Pro in my previous post for anybodies info in order to help me.
Many thanks,
David

Printing problem with Photoshop CS4

I haven't heard of anyone else with those specific symptoms.
But another poster has had problems with his Canon 9900 not printing (but no blank page).
The first thing to do is make sure you are using the Canon drivers and not the GutenPrint/GimpPrint drivers.
After that, you probably need to check with Canon.

Problem with Photoshop CS4

I bought Web Creative Premium CS4 on Nov. 2007, with the hope and dreams that Photoshop CS4 could help me bring in a second income and help me with old family pictures. I wanted to install the product on another hard drive I had bought for my workstation computer. The hard drive is a western digital 150 gigabyte hard drive and I made a 40 gigabyte partition of free space for Photoshop CS4 to play on. At the time there were no advanced tutorials on advance installation of the product on another partition on the internet. CS4 was new on the market. I sent an email in to the forum and explained my disposition. I wrote an essay form question. Something to this affect. I would like to be able to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 to another partition, where CS4 can build out the configuration folder, the brush folder, the template folder, etc.. on another hard drive other than C:\ and the registry configuration can build out the proper configuration commands in the registry to point CS4 to those location on startup. After that long question I got a one sentence answer. “ Yes you can install Adobe Photoshop CS4 custom to any hard drive”. I assumed from the answer I was not dealing with an intelligent community, so I decide to just suffer the best I could. With over several updates and several re-installs of the product I have concluded that Photoshop CS4 is not user friendly. I go through a daily step of procedures, which gives me an outcome of a final product. Though Photoshop CS4 does not work in a perfect world, even though you pay your life’s dreams into it. I have to change my procedure steps every time after a new update is installed. Since I cannot get any help with this problem, or an advanced computer technician with a B.A. in Computer Science to help me. I see no other recourse in keeping this product, and would like to know how I can get a full re-fund. I have only made one digital print with Photoshop CS4. That took me one year to get the general ideas without any tutorials. I happened on some basic trail and errors to get an awesome outcome with layering and lighting effects. Just some general FYI on something’s I have noticed over the years, which changed. At one time I was able to create a new layer and the background would fill in automatically white. Now I have to do it manually and sometimes when I use the magic wand to copy an object to paste it to another layer, when I go to that layer and click on the object to move it. I move the whole layer. You have to laugh, because if you don’t you would probably want to run your fist through your 22’ wide LCD screen. Thanks for listening.

Best practice is to install PS CS4 on C drive. PS Expects certain files and folders to be on C drive. Since this is a user to user forum and we (I) don't work for Adobe you will have to call Customer service for a refund.

What has happened to "Help" in Photoshop CS4?

When you click on "Help" in Photoshop CS4 it no longer opens a document with explanations of the functions of Photoshop. I'm trying to import a font into Photoshop.
Roger Stowell

I am having the same issue with Photoshop/CS5! Having been away from any Photoshop work since June, I just sat down to review how to edit text. Boy am I pissed that I can't access the "user manual" help, which I have found to be some of the best software help out there! The change must have happened in the last few months.
What is EVEN WORSE is when I do click on any "text" articles found via search, they take me to a nearly BLANK screen! The only things showing are a useless, tiny search box that doesn't work, and a survey window that pops up and says "How useful did you find this?" UH, a nearly blank screen is NEVER useful - seriously?
I'd love a link to CS5 Photoshop user manual so I can go back to getting exactly the information that has helped me in the past.
BAD, BAD move, Adobe. You software companies just can't leave well enough alone - you "broke" something that I thought was a very helpful feature. It wasn't broke - why did you have to mess with it?

Problems with Photoshop CS4

Hello everyone
I installed windows 7 64 bit and photosop cs4 32 and 64 bits.
For plugins I use photoshop 32 bit as in 64 does not recognize.
When working with photoshop 32-bit, or by applying a similar effect on photoshop I "refresh" the screen, I have to give it a click above to update the action taken, which does not happen with the 64-bit . previously when I had windows XP 32 bit, something similar is happening but unlike in Windows 7 is became more confusing to work
Looking at other forums I found that others feel the same.
I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7, but can not get photoshop to work properly.The refresh of the windows is horrible, it gives many hitches, even small images at 72 dpi. It's pretty desperate
I have a similar problem with Photoshop CS4, Windows 7 and the Gforce 9800 GTX version 196.21
The problem is that whenever I do a process, I have to click on the screen to react, is quite annoying if you retouch photos, anyone know where the problem may lie?
Example of my problem
I apply an effect to an image flash
Notice how after applying it, as is the browser and thumbnail in the layer and I obviously still displays the result on the image.
After giving up a click:
I shows the effect applied, but the display remains the same, as in the layer.
If I want to leave the viewer have to make the preview zoom.
As you will see work like this is very annoying and stressful. Any help?

Did you update PS CS4 to 11.0.1? If not update before turning off opengl or updating Nvidia drivers.
There are also new nvidia drivers out 197.13. However, newer does not always equal better.

Compatibility of Dreamweaver 3 with Photoshop CS4

I have Photoshop CS4 and want to buy Dreamweaver CS3 (because it's less expensive than 4).... will there be any compatibility issues if I do this? Or does this even matter? I have never used Dreamweaver which is why I'm asking.
Thanks for your help/assistance.
Patrick

CS3 is a previous version so make sure you are buying this from a legitimate source. Also with Photoshop CS4 you do have the option to upgrade to a discounted suite.
Anyways, back to your topic, no there should not be any issues. There are some added features in CS4 such as the ability to handle PSD files, but it's really not a big deal and I can tell you from my experience I typically export slices from Photoshop and build the HTML by hand in DW to make it work. So you should be fine if you go with CS3.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.

Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years. Does Elements need to have access to ‘My Pictures’ on Windows as when I remove Photos from ‘My Pictures’, Elements later, when backing up, gives a message that it is unable to ‘reconnect’ to the same picture on elements. On other occasions when removing a photo from Elements catalogue I also get a similar message when backing up saying ‘unable to reconnect’. 1. Is there a relationship between Elements and My Pictures and is Elements dependant on the Windows ‘My Pictures’? 2. Why does some photos in Elements in some cases cause them to multiply e.g. double; triple; quadruple; and on occasions even more? Is there something I need to do to stop this or an easy way I can remove the multiples without spending hours doing it manually one by one? Am I doing something wrong? My O/S is Windows XP SP2 and windows Vista on my Laptop. I have been using Elements 5 and have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8.0. (Upgrade) and about to install it. Be grateful for any advice as I do enjoy using the program if only I can resolve this issue. I am not a PC wiz and mainly use Elements to catalogue photos from which I compile collections and from them slide shows with music. Any advice appreciated Sonny.t PS Have tried to post this previously but without success so hoping to see message appear and a +response

The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

CS3 file not compatible with Photoshop CS4?

My son uses Photoshop CS3 at college. He worked all day on an image (120MB), and saved it on a USB stick. When opening at home with Photoshop CS4, the "Reading Photoshop format" appears, then an error message "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
He has been burned before by a USB stick, but all the other files seem OK.
Is there a solution to this?

^First thing I did was make a copy.
QuickTime Picture Viewer (which seems to open other PSD files) says it is corrupted.
Adobe Bridge can read the metadata, gives no preview, and won't open the file.
Any other thoughts?
