How do I include gradation filters in Photoshop CS4?

I used to posses coloured gradation filters for my camera, but unfortunately no more and would like to imitate this effect on some images using Photoshop CS4. I have heard that it is possible to include these but don't know how. Can anyone help please?

Create a color gradient on a layer, set the layer blend mode to multiply - then adjust opacity to taste.
Or use the photofilter adjustment layer and add a gradient to the layer mask.

You can't directly but can use DNG Converter to convert your files so ACR can read and process them.

Extract and Pattern Maker filters in Photoshop CS4?

What happened to the Extract and Pattern Maker filters in Photoshop CS4? Are they gone or placed somewhere else?

Hi guys,
I might be an old fart! But I love extract... Are there any other way to make transparent pixels on the edges on the object you want cut out?
Personally I cry at night for the semi-loss of Extract! This means that Adobe wont improve it any more and with time the filter might be all gone!?!
cheers

Nik Filters Crashing Photoshop CS4??

I have been using Nik filters since they first came out. When Google took over I townload the whole free suite they offered. Than I was 'force fed' Nik Analog and it slowed all of my Nik filters down, and since then I have had periods of tremendeous slow down. then a couple of days ago, whenever I opened an image in Color Efexs I would get an error message and Photoshop would close down.
Then yesterday I would get the following 'pop up' messages also - but this time it happened every time I tried to open any file in Photoshop. That is, my Photoshop CS4 is not usable.
I also have CS3 on my computer and it works fine. I went ahead and installed Silver Efex Pro 2 and Color Efex from my original discs and they work fine.
Google sent me the latest Nik Filter collection today, but I am not able to install it past this point, even if I have my anti-virus temporarily disabled.Also I cannot cancel or close it and I can only get out of it by forcing a computer restart.
I am thinking that I will try a 'System Restore' next, and if that does not work, re-install Adobe Creative Suite CS4 from my disks.
If anybody has any thoughts on this or experienced something similar, I would greatly appreciate any input.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with 4 GB of RAM and 500 GB of hard-drive with 275 GB of Free Space.
Many thanks,
christian

Thank you - yes I have done that, and as of right now I can't install it - as per my last screen shot above. Nik/Google suggested I go into Safe Mode and try it that way. Will do that.
Do you think updating the plug-in will actually make Photoshop CS 4 function again?
Going through this process I uninstall the Google/Nik Filter plug-in, but my CS 4 still crashes - see the first screen shot above.
Many thanks!

Is it possible and how to open animated gif files in Photoshop CS4

I made a Google search and I found tips that Photoshop can open frames from animated gif files by using File->Import->Video Frames to Layers. But this menu is missing from Photoshop CS4 on the computer I'm using it. Searching this forum for "Import animated gif" didn't return any result. Any ideas?

Zeno
curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
I guess I'm out of luck with the 64 bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?

How do I print accurate colors with Photoshop CS4 and Yosemite?

I recently upgraded to OS 10.10, Yosemite. I can no longer get accurate colors printed for photos from Photoshop. I have Photoshop CS4 and I use an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer. I am able to use Photoshop for everything but printing accurately. I downloaded all recommended drivers for the printer, reloaded profiles for the printer and even tried a trial of Photoshop CC. Nothing resolves the problem. My prints look kind of solarized. Black and white photos have green areas where there should be black. Please help.

I thought my problem could be Lightroom is in ProphotoRGB color space, and my printer is Adobe1998 color space. To test this, I changed the color space of my patches from prophoto to AdobeRGB. I checked my colors in Photoshop, and made them match the RGB number I specified. It was interesting to note that (128,128,255) had a noticeable shift to purple. the other colors shifted slightly. Now I printed the test page with Lightroom managing color and the printer managing color. Both images came out similar.
This study came about when I was printing some images, and the sky had a definite purple shift. So, I took the image into Photoshop and converted the colorspace from prophoto to Adobe. Printed the image, and the image came out much better.
So the question now is, do I need to convert each image I print in Photoshop, or am I doing something wrong in Lightroom?

So they removed Pattern maker, and the Extract filters from Photoshop CS4

Personally I hardly ever used these, but did occasionally. I was wondering how this is going to affect others?
I don't see how removing two items from the filters menu makes much difference to anything. Maybe its more of a launch time issue, although I'm not sure that taking functionality away just to have fraction of a second faster launch, is a little daft.
They are still included on the CD, but this is going to inconvenience me if I ever need them in a freelance role. There were problems with both of them: When I first saw extract, it was almost as if the engineeers themselves hadn't woken up to non destructive editing. And pattern maker lacks the most obvious features, and doesn't perform particularly well. They are also both slow and cumbersome to use.
But
they do have other occasional uses beyond what they were (admittedly quite badly) designed for, especially pattern maker for reintroducing sampled texture sourced from the image. I don't see much replacement for this

Regarding "Extract" and "PatternMaker":
If you really need them right now, just add the CS3 plug-ins into CS4 they will work as they always have.
Actually, John Nack has stated that those old plug-ins will be downloadable from the Adobe site if you need them.
>We've bitten the bullet with this release and have sent a number of features into retirement. Extract, Pattern Maker, Web Photo Gallery, Contact Sheet, Picture Package, and PDF Presentation have been removed from the default installation.
>
The latter four have been replaced by the Output module in Bridge CS4, and our intention is to replace Extract with features inside Photoshop (building on Refine Edge & more). All of these except PDF Presentation will remain available as optional installs (to be posted on Adobe.com), but over time they'll be phased out.
[Emphasis mine.]

Scripting PixelBender filters for Photoshop CS4

Does anyone know if it is currently possible to access PixelBender filters within your scripts (using the ExtendScript Toolkit)? If so, how would I go about doing so? If not, are there any plans to add scripting support for PixelBender filters to the Photoshop DOM?
NB: I've also posted this in the Photoshop Scripting forum
Just to give some context to my query, I want to create a PixelBender filter that can be embedded within an AIR application to allow users to play about with applying different filters to their images... this AIR app will be able to export a set of values (that correspond to a given filter's parameters) that can be passed to another AIR app that instructs Photoshop to re-generate the same filter effect (via SwitchBoard). The goal is to achieve consistent results between the two apps.
Many thanks,

The Pixel Bender Gallery extension is a live filter and should be accessible via ExtendScript, but I haven't tried it... So, theoretically, yes, but I can't say I've done it myself.

Intermittant greying out of filters in photoshop cs4?

Greetings everyone
This is probably a stupid question but why does photoshop occasionally grey out some of my filters?
Its often when i have a vector smart object [ie imported from IL], but even if i rasterize it, the filters remain grey and unusuable. not sure what convert for smart filters is meant to do - does anyone know? doesn't seem to do anything for me.
at the bottom of the page i have enclosed a picture of my problem
i'm stumped here and heap thanks upon you in advance

How do you get faux italics in photoshop CS4 for Mac

I have some text that I need to make faux italics, but since macs do not have a right click, I do not know how to do so. I have searched every menu and cannot find it. Any help is appreciated.

Mac do have a right-click provided you have a two or three button mouse , have had since the begining of OSX. It brings up a Context menu. You can emulate a Right click on a one button mouse, by holding down Control/Alt key then clicking Mouse.

Pixel Bender Gallery Error in Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

When trying to access pixel bender filters with Photoshop CS4, filters>Pixel Bender>Pixel Bender Gallery, I get an Error dialog images as follows...
I have read the ReadMe file and have the GeForce 8500 GT Video Card on this list.
The Pixel Bender Toolkit is installed at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\Pixel Bender Toolkit c/w pbk filters that run in the toolkit.
In Photoshop there are a number of pbk filters in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Pixel Bender Files.
The Operating system for the computer is Windows XP Professional c/w service pack 2 at least.
My question is... why am I getting this error message and how can It be fixed?

Here are two further images and an NVIDIA System Information report you asked for that I have prepared, I hope this will help.
I am aware that I could download trial versions of Photoshop CS5 and its Pixel plugin version, but first, this first image shows a message that loads from Photoshop CS4 when I start the program and has always done so from day one of owning the machine and the software, could this be of relevence to what could be the root of the issue at hand.
I also use 3D Studio Max with OpenGL and have noted rotating moving objects in 3D space of a file size of 10MB is very slow and chuggie, is this relevent, does this information give any clues.
Thankyou again for your time and effort in helping me resolve Pixel Bender Gallery Error issue.
