Illustrator CS3 (three) AND photoshop CS4 (four)?

Hello all,
I purchased a copy of just CS4 at student pricing but have yet to buy a new Illustrator. I currently run Illustrator CS3. Can I install PS CS4 with its accompanying CS4 components (Air, Bridge, Drive, etc...) and still use Illustrator CS3 at the same time? Or will the newer files make my old Illustrator unusable?
Thanks!
Joan

OK
To explain the project maybe you can help.
I shoot some live footage with video camera HD 720p - this footage is to be rotoscoped of the action of the character.
The HD 720p is not 2k res so their ratio is not correct for 2k so I was thinking the line drawings (rotoscoped) bring them into illustratorcs4 and convert the line drawings into vector files so they can be brought into the 2k file size and scaled to ratio that works with the 2k files
Once these line drawing vectors are on the correct frames in the movie 2k file - framesave them out and paint in pscs4extended and paint the layer and save back out into a movie file (avi, etc)
Your thoughts about doing this would be appreciated and which software to use
I have

Tiger, Illustrator 8.0 and Photoshop 5.5

Hello!
I need to work with Illustrator 8.0 and Photoshop 5.5 but my Mac OS version is Tiger. I am wondering if it is possible to use those applications with Tiger or if they only work on Mac OS 9.
Thank you!

Hi manueljapan;
I would think so. I have never used versions of Photoshop that old. I think the oldest version of Photoshop I used was 7. I am now using PS CS3 which is version 10 of Photoshop. I find that to be a vast improvement over 7 so I can't even imagine what 5.5 must be like.
If I might be so bold I would suggest that since you have an Intel MBP that you serious consider getting PS CS3 since it a universal binary and can run natively on the MBP. If you go with an older version that is compatible with OS X, you will be forced to use Rosetta because they are not universal.

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.
Thanks for your trouble and regards

I'm running Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4 and can't open or import NEF files from a Nikon D600

Need help understanding why the NEF files created by my D700 work fine in both Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4, but the same file format created by a Nikon D600 keep getting a unkown error when I try to import or open them.

You can either upgrade Lightroom or use Adobe's Free DNG Converter to make a backwards-compatible file for LR 2.x to read. New camera support is only effected on current versions of LR and Adobe Camera Raw and your version(s) do not support the D600.

Keywording problem in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4

I'm experiencing a problem with keywording in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4. When i export a batch of photos that were keyworded in LR to the desk top then open a photo in PS I find only one keyword when I look through the "file info" menu item. Any ideas on how I might resolve this problem or what I may be doing wrong.
Many thanks in advance.

Make sure that you have the keywords setup so that they will export. You can check by right clicking on a keyword in the Keyword List panel and choosing Edit Keyword Tag. The dialog shown below should open and should see a checkmark against Include on Export and Export Containing Keywords. It's fairly easy to get this wrong when working with hierarchical keywords.
Also, you can configure the Keywording panel so that it shows which keywords will be assigned when image is exported.

Will Adobe inDesign CS4 and Photoshop CS4 run on Yosemite?

InDesign has Issues.
Photoshop appears to be OK but a re-installation may be necessary. Run the CS Cleaner Tools below and PS uninstaller before attempting to re-install PS CS4.

Can i install CS3 Indesign and Photoshop on mac OSX10.8.4?

Can i install CS3 Indesign and Photoshop on mac OSX10.8.4? Or do I have to update and can I purchase updates from Adobe? If I can, how much are they?

Yes, should be no problem.
According to the box that came with my copy of CS3 the requirements are "PowerPC G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor, Mac OSX 10.4.8 or above.
I loaded it onto my new Mac running Mountain Lion with no problems at all and it runs perfectly. InDesign used to crash occasionally under Tiger but has never crashed under Mountain Lion.

Illustrator CS3 Import and Export File Format list?

Hello,
Has anyone typed up an updated supported import and export file format list for CS3? I used to reference a support knowledgebase document, 1001741, (no longer on Adobe's site) that showed the majority of file formats and versions that Illustrator was able to import. I searched all over and couldn't find one, then called support and they confirmed they no longer had a list like that available--they had split the import options into separate lists--like what versions of Photoshop files, what versions of .eps files, .tiff files etc. Illustrator CS3 could open.
The reason I was looking because I wanted to see what version Corel file CS3 could open after I was not able to open a customer's v.12 .cdr file.
Thanks,
Rick H.

I am pretty sure that the last supported version of Corel that AI can open is version 10.

Lost communication btw cs4 bridge and photoshop cs4

I cannot double click a thumb in the bridge and enter Photoshop cs4. It brings up the Microsoft viewer instead. Nothing I have tried corrects this. I can get to Photoshop cs4 through camera raw, but that means opening all jpegs and tiffs in raw. Can anyone help? Perhaps I will need to download the upgrade to cs4 again. But installing the plugins for fractals and NIK software can be a drag. I no longer have cs3, so I can't revert to it
I have Windows XP professional on a Dell, two 500 gig internal drives and a 500gig LaCie external drive
Thanks
Paul

That camera was recently supported for the first time by ACR 8.6, which needs at least CS6 to run. You will never be able to open those raw NEF files in CS4, as there will never be an update for CS4.
Your choices are to upgrade, or to use the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each and every batch of raw NEF files in order to convert them to raw DNGs that you can open in CS4.

Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended trial version

Hello,
I have Photoshop CS4 installed on my Windows Vista system and wanted to download the Photoshop CS4 Extended trial.
I tried to download the Photoshop CS4 Extended trial on the desktop as well as on the laptop and wasn't successful.
I was able to download other Adobe trial applications such as Flash CS4, After Effects CS4 and so forth.
I thought the issue mentioned above was due to the fact that Photoshop CS4 was already installed or maybe cause only Photoshop CS4 is available for the trial and not the Extended version similar to CS4 Encore?
Annick Vanderschelden

Thanks for the answers...
I think John understands me. As a matter of fact I have a PS Standard
CS2, CS3 and CS4 installed on my system and was wondering why I wasn't able to install a PS CS4 Extended trial. Apparently you just can't.
It's a pity 'cause as a consequence if you want to try the Extended version you have to get rid of the Standard version first and then download the Extended trial version?
I think it would also be better that the Adobe site should mention that you cannot download the Extended version when you already have the Standard installed? For example if you hover over the PS CS4 icon here, you will notice the 'try' link. Then you might expect that you just can download and install the application whether you have the Standard already on your system or not.

Is illustrator CS6 compatible with photoshop CS4?

I have photoshop CS4 and was curious if illustrator cs6 would work

fedwards,
It would, with possible inherent limitations owing to new feature, probably less likely than the other way round.
Why not download a trial and see?

I had lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS4 I downloaded cc and trialled it and then uninstalled since then I cannot read/open my Canon cr2 files and

I trialled cc Photoshop.
I had Photoshop CS4
and lightroom 4.4.
I used LR4 and cc as well as CS4 during that time
BUT
when I uninstalled cc
after initial work in LR4
I try to open it in PS4
it no longer recognise my Cr2 (Canon Mark 111 tif files)
(which it had no problem with previously.
When I try to go from LR$ to PSCS4
it now tell me
this version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 7.4 for full compatibility.
Please update the Camera Raw plug in using the update tool in the Photoshop help menu.
Ihave downloaded this off the net but it does not seem to solve the issue
HELP!!!

G'day Curt,
I smacked myself on the forehead when I read your reply. How could I have forgotten to do that? However, after trying that, the problem persists and more files are corrupting. I now have around ten files of around 200 in a party folder I have that have corrupted. They all were perfect several days ago.
I'm starting to get worried as I work for the local rag and have social pics this weekend to process. I can't afford to let this happen to them.
Thanks for the suggestion....

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.

Canon CR2 RAW and PhotoShop CS4

Just got the RAW update for my Canon SX1 IS.
Neither Bridge CS4 nor PhotoShop CS4 (both fully updated) recognise the format despite CR2 being listed in the Bridge file associations for PhotoShop CS4.
In Bridge I just get a file icon.
In PhotoShop I get a 'file type not recognised' type of message.
Must I use Canon Digital Photo Profession to convert to TIF for processing in Adobe Camera Raw, or am I missing something?

Thanks for the tip Ellir. I downloaded 5.4RC last night and it didn't have support (tested) and today official 5.4 gets released with the support. I feel lucky
And to whiners, I'm just asking a question. I really feel that forums would have warmer welcoming and less elitism. But oh well.
Anyways SX1 problem solved, tested and it works. Thank you Adobe.

GPU enhancements message keeps popping up and Photoshop CS4 keeps crashing.

When I start Photoshop, I get the message, "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video adapter manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
I have updated everything but this message still pops up everytime I open Photoshop CS4. Not only that, I tried to enable the GPU enhancements via Preferences but my Photoshop keeps crashing every time I try to click or do anything.
Hope someone out there knows whats wrong! Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Just for clarification, did you download and install the video driver from the mfgr's. Web site, such as nVidia, or AMD/ATI?
The reason that I ask that, is because too often, people will let their OS tell them, if they have the latest driver. That info is usually at least 6 mos. out of date - always go to the "source," plug in your card/chip and your OS, and if there is a newer driver, download and install that.
Note: there have been a few threads on problems with newer AMD/ATI drivers, so if you have one of their cards/chips, you might want to check out some of the threads on those.
Good luck,
Hunt
