I cannot get my CD/DVD of Photoshop CS4 Extended (student license) to install properly

I've been working on this all day and I'm ready to give up and use GIMP. My new computer is Windows 7 Professional. CS4 worked great on Windows 7 for me (on my last computer). I get a message that says Photoshop installed "but with errors". I cannot even open Photoshop right now. Very frustrated and angry.

Folks,
We are aware of the backlog in Customer Service to issue serial numbers for education versions of our applications. We are addressing this and expect to clear the backlog in a few days. In the meantime you can install and run your Student Edition in Trial mode. UK and Australia users, please be aware that when you install your application in trial mode you need to select English International from the language options, not the default language English (US).
Otherwise your serial number you will receive shortly won't work until you reinstalled your CS4 product with the English International language selection.

We appreciate your patience and sincerely apologize for the delays in reaching Customer Service and obtaining the serial numbers.

Books/DVDs on Photoshop CS4 Extended

Any books/DVDs on Photoshop CS4 Extended?

I just noticed that I fat fingered the header and that should be Windows 7. Thanks for the response and I think I'm gonna try it out on this laptop which is running Windows Home Basic but I'm gonna wait a few days to build the courage!

Can accurate measurements be made and images scaled in Photoshop CS4 Extended - Student Version

I draw and amend plan based images (similar to Ordnance Survey plans) and need to be able to work in detail using accurate measurements to create a 2D representation of a building or other feature and their surroundings to a particular scale. Ideally I want to take this further to use the base plans as a means of generating a 3D image.
I currently have Photoshop Elements 6 which does not allow me to either measure distances/line lengths or work to a defined scale. Am I correct in understanding that Photoshop CS4 Extended - Student Version would overcome this technical deficiency?
Thanks, KJ

Get the trial and play with the vanishing point filter. It allows you to draw planes in perspective, scale, clone to the drawn perspectives, measure distances between points and define a distance which is used as a baseline to measure out all the other perspective lines.

Cannot Open MPEG-2 Video in Photoshop CS4 Extended

...Any recommendations? I am trying to open an MPEG-2 HD video file in CS4 Extended and am getting error code saying: Could not complete your request because the movie file could not be opened. Photoshop Help says it should be able to open if computer has an MPEG-2 Encoder installed...any idea if that is true and where I could download one if so. Thanks.

Encoder Program no real help...finally used Adobe Media Encoder and Rend
ered Video as H264, 1440 X
1080 29.97 minus Audio...it
opened just fine. Exported as Quicktime movie with same settings, opened in Premiere
Project...worked fine. Hope this helps someone else.

Adobe haven't responded to my serial number case!! Photoshop CS4 Extended Student Edition

Hi - I bought the student edition of Photoshop CS4 a few weeks ago. I registered on here and sent of my case to get a serial number on 21st June. A notification confirmed I had done what was required and said I would receive a reply, and therefore my serial number, in 1 day. I STILL have not heard from them via my email and have checked all emails including junk files!! Also, on here is still says the case is open and Adobe response is pending. I have one day left on the 30 day free trial and REALLY need the serial number now!!
I rang Adobe yesterday, and after about a half hour wait finally got someone on the other end - who said that the serial number would now be sent to 'the portal'. I'll be honest, I dont know what that means but assumed that I would receive an email with my serial number. No such luck - even though the status of my case seems to have been updated on 29th June (yesterday), I presume after the phone call. It hasn't been 'updated' though!! As in, no response has been made!! I am worrying now!
What am I supposed to do?? Where / what is the portal - somehwere else I should be checking??? Did I not do something or do something wrong? All I did was register and then fill in / open case to get serial number, including scan of my NUS student card (name, birth date, photo) - is the student card number required? Because that is the only thing I can think of that I did not include - I wish Adobe would actually tell me if I have not filled something in or something...!!
Please help - Flo.

Photoshop CS4 Mac Student License...

Hey guys!
Dan here..
I have a quick question about student licensing,
I plan in the new year to purchase Adobe Production Premium for mac on a student license,
But I also would like to install Photoshop onto another macbook as well as my main computer,
Under the terms of student licensing adobe say that you cannot be issued more than one serial for each product on a student license,
And Production Premium contains Photoshop CS4,
Would it be possible to order Production Premium and a seperate copy of Photoshop CS4 on a student license as i believe Production premium has only one license key as apposed to seperate keys for the seperate componants,
Any help would be awesome!
Thankyou!
Dan

That's nice though a bit of an hassle, if you ask me. Activating and deactivating all the time might be time consuming.
As for the upgrading to full version, I'll be back to you on that in two weeks. I'll have completed my degree. In my understanding, my student license gives me the "two comupters not running at the same time" priviledge. Would be nice to have a third activation upgrade. Just in case.
Oh! and if you're wondering I think that the activation software looks at the computer's IP adress for activation. Had a problem with my hard drive and had to reinstall everything (even the OS) on a back-up drive. I reactivated Photoshop and asked an Adobe representative to see if I had used up all my activations. Nope, had used only one. So I guess you can install as many times you want on the same computer as long as it doesn't change location.

Photoshop CS4 Extended- change from PC to Mac and a lost licence key.

Hi,
I have been trying to get into adobe chat to ask these two questions, however it always comes up with an 'chat is unavailable' and I'm unsure of where else to turn- as there is no email contact and no number.
I bought Photoshop CS4 Extended (Student edition) a few years ago and got a disk which i have been using on all my pc computers (deactivating old computers and re-activting new ones), However i have now changed to Mac- and the disk will not load on the mac as it is set for windows. I have then tried to download, CS4 online- but my licence key comes up with a red cross and it will not be accepted. I have looked at other chats and looked at different sites to download the cs4 (and apparently the extended cs4) however i can never find the right download or its just a read me pdf document.
I just want my CS4 photoshop on my new mac computer and unsure how to get it.
Secondly i lost a licence key when one of my family computers died- and have only had one licence key since then. I'm just wondering is there a way to get this back?rent
Is there a different way to contact adobe? Chat just doesn't seem to work for me- and i would love to get these two questions cleared up.
Thanks,
Rachael

Prior to the subscription models—and of course that includes CS4—the Photoshop license was platform specific, either Windows or Mac, but not both. Your CS4 Windows serial number ("key") will never work on the Mac version.
CS4 is out of the loop as far as requesting a platform swap for a nominal fee. It is no longer supported by Adobe in any way. A platform swap required the destruction of your PC version, so you could not use both the PC and the Mac versions.
For a time, you could have used CS4 to upgrade to CS6 for about $200, but that time window has closed by now. Now you would have to own a legitimate version of CS5 in order to be eligible to buy an upgrade to CS6.
You can of course buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 Extended for $1,000 from the Adobe store:
Creative Suite 6
Alternatively, you can subscribe to Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC2014 on a monthly basis without ever owning the software. If you stop paying monthly, the software ceases to work.
The cheapest subscription is the Photography plan, which includes both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 a month.

Photoshop CS4 Extended - cannot paint on .kmz files in 3D

Hello, ist there anybody who can help me with a special problem ? I try to generate my own 3 D Object in Sketchup but in Photoshop CS4 Extended ein cannot paint on this, even i can with 3D objects out of the Photoshop Library.
Thanks a lot,
alphaplanet2000

Hi,
Sorry for the delay on the attachment. It looks like it cleared 'customs' and is no longer in the queue.
I used SketchUp 7 (7.0.10248) (not Pro), so you may want to update, but I did find some useful things.
This was just using a rectangle pulled up into a cubic geometry. If you use a solid color for each face, the export creates a unique map for each face. If you leave the geometry face styles undefined, the export will create UV mapping that overlaps. And if you use the tiling textures, you get really tiny targets which you can't paint at all (like what you saw).
To see the UV mapping in Ps, open a diffuse map and then go to 3D> Create UV Overlay> Wireframe. This will create a new layer and draw in the UV triangle mapping. For painting you want to see non-overlapping triangles, that are fairly equal in area, and openness (think triangulated squares). Tight angles, and small area makes for hard targets to project in clean pixels.
Hopefully this makes sense and helps.
regards,
steve

I just went through this same process.... I changed my credit card, double checked billing info, changed my password, I restored my phone, but the misake I made was I kept restoring it from my back up.... Finally I went to Apple Store.. and sad to say that you have to do a restore, and DO NOT restore from back up.
I used Gmail so I didnt loose contacts or email.. but I did loose all my text messages and history of that.
So, I had the EXACT same problem and it was a software issue.. you have to restore your phone to factory settings and start all over.. BLOWS I know!

My new canon 5D mark111 camera cannot open images in raw in photoshop cs4 extened

I recently purchased a canon 5D mark111 camera and I cannot open the images in camera raw/ photoshop cs4 extended. How do I download a plug in to update this photshop?

Hi Shelley,
Camera raw plugins after 5.7 are not compatible with photoshop cs4, so you could use the 7.3 DNG Converter to convert
the canon 5d markIII camera raw files to dng copies which should then open in photoshop cs4.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended - Trial Version Expired

Can someone help me please. I have searched the forums but I cannot find a solution.
I installed the Photoshop CS4 extended trial which expired a few weeks ago. In the meantime I have purchased a copy of Photoshop CS4 (Standard not Extended). I completed removed the trial but I am unable to installed the purchased copy. I am getting the trial expired serial input screen.
I have also tried the unistall with REVO but this has not made any difference.
I have tried to use the Adobe cleanup but I dont think its worked properly. I am running Windows 7 Operating System.
I have uninstalled/installed photoshop 5 times now and its driving me mad

There is no problem such as you describe. If you buy a legitimate standard edition license, you can enter that serial number and the trial version will be activated as the standard edition.
Where did you get this copy of Photoshop CS4?
If not directly from Adobe, there's a chance you were scammed and your serial number isn't valid at all. Photoshop is heavily pirated.
