How compatible is Lion with Photoshop CS5 and Microsoft Office 2004?

I can't see myself buying Lion, until I am reassured that it can be used with these applications. If not, Lion is a very expensive upgrade.

  • Migration manager with Adobe CS2 and Microsoft Office 2004

    I had already downloaded my academic copy of office 2008 as soon as I opened the computer. To my total aggravation, it too had the stupid ribbon format that office 2007 has on the pc version. Then to my total surprise when I used the migration manager, it moved all my old programs over from my macbook running 10.4.11. This included office 2004. It seems to operate just fine, but am worried about when I end up opening documents from an email or something that it will end up opening in 2008 instead. Also, when it moved my Adobe CS2 it said some type of error message about color matching. That seems to be the case in the color sliders at least, the colors don't look right, but the images seem fine when they open. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

    am worried about when I end up opening documents from an email or something that it will end up opening in 2008 instead.
    Find a document you would normally open with Office 2004, and use the menu in the Finder to 'Get Info'.
    In that window, you have an option to dictate which program to always open that file type with, and to apply that choice to all similar files.
    Make the change and close that window.

  • Which iMac for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom

    Any opinions on which iMac is best for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Not sure if the 2.7 i5 with 512 graphics card is Plenty of power or if upgrading to the 3.1 i5 or 3.4 i7 is a wiser choice given the price differences. Appreciate the help

    So I was reading over your post, and even though this is older and has to do with CS5, I have some information for CS6 that will be relevant to your question now that it is time to upgade the software. In general Photoshop has always been more about RAM than Processing power, though that is important too. Until CS5 it could never quite take advantage of what multi-core processors really had to offer, and even the graphics card didn't really effect much of it outside of certain features and the 3D optio
    Now that is no longer true and Adobe can effeciently use all aspects of the computer to give you much better performance.
    So much so that I was able to buy a brand New ASUS with the following specs:
    Dual Core 2.2GHz Processors
    8GB of RAM (4GB original to the machine)
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OS
    320GB HDD w/ 5400RPM
    This machine not only runs photoshop CS6 and Launches in less than 5 Seconds... it can run Premier and After Effects as well, and this Laptop cost me less than $400 (on sale at Best Buy 2 Weeks Ago. You don't have to buy something this cheap, but isn't it great that you can and still run Master Collection effectively?

  • I work with photoshop CS5 and the stamp is very slow. Why?

    I work with photoshop CS5 and the stamp is verry slow. Why?

    If you can afford it, go with a Crucial M4 SSD.
    If your in a limited budget, go with a Seagate Momentus XT 750GB.
    The SSD will be the fastest one and the Seagate being faster than a conventional drive.
    If you decide to go conventional, avoid the Western Digital Scorpio Blue.  They tend to have issues with Macbooks.
    Good luck

  • Hi I've just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion now Quarkxpress 6.5, Adobe creative suite CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will nolonger open. Can anyone please advise me what I can do to get these programs running.

    Hi I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Now my installed programs:- Quarkxpress 6.5 - Adobe creative suite CS2 - Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will not open - I get a banner saying not supported by power mac. Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

    hi tuggerose
    i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

  • Crashes with Photoshop CS5 and Pages, Numbers etc and OS 10.6.4

    Has anyone found a solution to the crash that happens with using Photoshop CS5 and 10.6.4 Snow Leopard. I just bought a Macbook Pro --changed from a PC and have problems with CS5 and Pages, Numbers crash all the time. So far I am not impressed with the MAC

    Thank you, Todd.
    Actually, just found the answer here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/638307
    I don't know why I didn't think of trashing the preferences, but it worked.
    (For those looking for how to trash prefs, just go to Users/XXXYOUR_LOGIN_NAMEXXX/Library
    /Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0/  and delete the file there (or rename if you'd rather) AE will rebuild it on startup.)

  • My Macbook Pro and Microsoft Office 2004?

    My Macbook Pro suddenly gives me an error that the application suddenly quits when I try to open Microsoft Office 2004. I tried to delete and reinstall the program, but I get the same error message. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Sorry, bad news. You've been infected by the Flashback Trojan Horse. For details and how to disable it, see
    Threat Description: Trojan-Downloader:OSX/Flashback.I
    <http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-downloader_osx_flashback_i.shtml>
    as well as numerous recent threads in this forum.
    Note that my opinion is that the best solution is to erase the disk, re-install the OS, and restore your stuff from a backup prior to the date of infection. Others think that this is too much; it's up to you to decide.
    After you've dealt with it, remember to update your system software, and, for better security, turn off Java in all your browsers. And remember to change your passwords in all your on-line accounts or sites you've accessed, this forum included.

  • Compatibility with Photoshop CS5 and CS6

    Anyone who can help me please leave a comment or a suggestion. I would gladly appreciate it!!
    I am starting a Digital Media class in college and CS5 is what is setup on the computers and textbooks are also about CS5 as well. They haven't upgraded to CS6 yet. I am mainly doing Photoshop, Flash Professional, and Illustrator in this class. The first program we are using is Photoshop. I have just paid for and downloaded the Creative Cloud and everything pertains to CS6.
    My question is should I stick with using Photoshop CS5? Or can Photoshop CS6 be used as long as I don't use the newer parts of the program?
    Also will there be compatible issues in say for instance I am doing a project and going back and forth from my computer at home (with CS6) to working on it at school (with CS5)?

    As long as you enable the "Maximum Compatibility" option, you will always have data to work with. Of course some features will not be available, but that should not be that big an issue. I'd rather be concerned about Flash and Illustrator, which are much more prone to converting data into non-editable stuff when saving from a newer version to an older version....

  • Stretched photos after editing with photoshop CS5

    When I crop a photo with photoshop CS5 and then go and review it in Iphoto the picture looks like the unedited version in the "events" but when i double click on it it appears streteched. How do I fix this?
    Also, when I edit a photo with CS5 (for ex: cool a picture if it is too warm) then go to look at it in iphoto it looks like the unedited version and once I click on the photo I can see the edited version.

    The following is how Photoshop should be used from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera.  Working on a Mac in Photoshop CS5 and have camera raw 6.7.

    Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera.  Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

    Bruce,
    When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
    http://www.luminous-landscape.com
    I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
    http://www.computer-darkroom.com
    I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
    The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
    I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
    I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
    Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
    Good luck,
    Rob

  • AppleWorks 6 and Microsoft Office in Mavericks?

    I want to upgrade my 13" MacBook Air from OS 10.6.8 to Mavericks, but I need to continue using AppleWorks 6.2.9 and Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac.  How can this be accomplished?

    Neither will work in any version of OS X after Snow Leopard.
    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Are Photoshop CS5 and CS6 compatible with Windows 8

    Are Photoshop CS5 and CS6 compatible with Windows 8?

    Yes,  I'm running CS6 on 8.1, and I'm sure CS5 works as well.

  • Existing Actions and Plugins Compatible with Photoshop CS5?

    I have actions and plug-in products, and while I've done everything I can to make them future-proof, I'm wondering if any Photoshop CS5 beta testers can speak to whether existing actions and plugins are generally compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Specifically:
    Are existing 32 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Are existing 64 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Are existing actions (both platforms) proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    I'm anxiously awaiting the go-ahead to download my copy to verify everything, but I'm just trying to get a feel for whether I'll have work to do.  I'm hoping for the level of compatibility seen in CS3 and CS4 - all my software worked perfectly with no changes.
    Thanks.

    I appreciate you all taking the time to answer, but none of you has actually said what DOES happen with your existing actions / plugins and CS5 beta.
    I know that experience with one set of actions and plugins doesn't guarantee operation with another, but if, for example, someone actually stated, "all my old plugins failed to work with CS5" or "they all seemed to work okay" then I'd have a better idea of what to expect.
    Please keep in mind I've been developing commercial actions since PS6 and plugins since CS2, and all my software works on all 32 bit versions and 64 bit CS4 on Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64, so I'm intimately familiar with what might happen and what should happen.  Plus I've programmed them to be quite resilient, and I don't expect any of the CS5 feature changes to break them.  What I don't know is whether Adobe has fundamentally altered the plugin interface this time around, or has deprecated any old filters, causing a plugin or action that used to work to fail now.  The word "rewrite" has been used to describe CS5, and that has me wondering.
    In short, I'm really looking for actual experience with the CS5 beta here.
    Wish I could get the CS5 SDK already.  I don't understdand why Adobe doesn't release that in advance.
    Thanks.
