Is CS4 64-bit?

Adobe has been quiet about 64-bit support for CS4 which I thought was odd as it seems to me to be a major selling point. I assumed this was because MAC was being left as 32-bit only. However, when looking at the system requirements for Master Collection, I saw Photoshop Extended and Acrobat Pro as the only native 64-bit applications. All others are listed as certified for 64-bit for Vista. Does anyone have any details on this?
Thanks
David

On behalf of Adobe, I apologize for the blatantly incorrect information being given to your by our outsourced technical support folks. It is dead wrong. Adobe does indeed support CS4 under Vista 64-bit versions (except Home Basic). Think about it for a microsecond or two ... if we didn't officially support it, we would not have released the suite with a 64-bit version of Photoshop!
What is true is that Adobe does not officially support XP 64-bit. You may get it to install and work, but we don't support it. XP 64-bit was somewhat of an experiment with fairly poor driver support.

PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC. I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall.."

PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC. I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now when I try to run PS 64-bit I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." When I do this, it seems to install correctly until the very end, then it says "Installation Complete With Errors", and when I try to run I get the same 'component missing message'. What can I do? PS 32 bit runs fine. Some of the other applications ib Web Premium say the shortcut has been changed or removed. I appreciate your help...Thank you

Best advice I can think of is to uninstall and run the Clean Script from here.

CS4 32 bit will not open under Win 7 64 bit.

Upgraded from Win 32 bit XP to Win 7 64 bit. While in the process of rebuilding my system downloaded and installed Beta versions of CS6 and Bridge for CS6, before trying to install my current CS4 version. I do not know whether this is causing any of the following problems that I am experiencing.　　　　　　　　A short time later I installed CS4, ending up with both the 32 and 64 bit versions of CS4. Interestingly, this install did not install a CS4 version of Bridge in either 32 bit or 64 bit, possibly because the Beta CS6 version of Bridge was installed? 　　　　　
However, from a previous system backup I was able to retrieve a copy of the CS4 version (presumably 32 bit version) of Bridge, which I simply copied to the new system and found that it works fine. Interestingly now the CS6 version of Bridge loads one of the two CS4 versions and not the Beta CS6, but I cannot tell which one of the CS4 versions. Question: how does one determine whether the loaded version is the 32 or 64 bit version? If I click on System Info it does say X64 which I assume means the 64 bit version is loaded. Is this the way to tell?　　　　　　　　
The CS4 version of Bridge now apparently defaults to the 64 bit version of CS4 on opens.　　　　　
I have now read that most if not all my previous plugins will not run under CS4 64 bit, so I really need to be able to run CS4 32 bit. Unfortunately, when I try to open CS4-32, it fails with the following msgs: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Has Stopped Working." Then,

The CS4-64 version continues to run as it should.
Assuming that CS6 will come with a 32 bit version when it hits the market I will be upgrading, but for now I really need a working 32 bit version of CS4.
Please help.

Help - System Info will tell you whether you're running the 64 bit or 32 bit version (look at the end of the first line). EDIT: Note that originally said Help - About and have corrected this.
Yes, Photoshop CS6 provides both a 32 and 64 bit version. In fact, it should have installed both on your system.
Normally the two versions don't get into eachothers' hair, EXCEPT for file associations, which may explain the mixup you're having where Bridge runs the last version installed. I doubt it has to do with your crash though.
Have you copied any plug-ins or set an Extra plug-ins folder so that there could be a mixup between the two versions?
Have you checked to see if your display driver has been updated? Go to the web site of the maker of your video card and download the version that matches your hardware and OS. Display driver updates solve many problems.

Photoshop CS4 64 bit crashes with Color Picker

Hi-
I have Photoshop CS4 64 bit and 32 bit applications Version 11.02 installed on a Win 7 machine.
In the 64 bit version when I pick on the color picker or any swatch - the program crashes and freezes-up and I have to use the task manager to quit the program.
Has anyone else had this problem? I tried re-installing the program, which rolled it back to version 11.0 but the problem persists - but ONLY in the 64 bit version. The color picker in the 32 bit version works just fine.
HELP!!
Thanks-
Cathy

OMG!! I feel soooo stupid! I discovered the problem.
I recently installed a second monitor and had been working with it - but today it was turned off.
The color picker was opening on THE SECOND MONITOR!! So it appeared on the first monitor that the program had stopped responding!
Well - live and learn!

Lightroom 2.1-PhotoFrame 4.1-PS CS4 64 bit issue

OnOne tells me that PS CS4 64 bit is not supported in PhotoFrame 4.1. When I try to use PhotoFrame from LR, it attempts to open the images in PS CS4 64 bit. Is there any way to get LR to default to launching the non-64 bit version of PS (which is also installed on my computer.) Thanks for the help!
Jonathan Prescott

The easiest way is to have the 32 bit open. LR will not close it to open the 64 bit.

Bridge to CS4 64 bit Vista - Problem with bit depth

I'm using Camera Raw in Bridge and CS4 64 bit. When the Camera Raw window opens in Bridge, the image is shown in 8 bit mode even though shot in 16 bit. I could not find a setting in either the Bridge or CS4 Preferences that accounts for the down sampling. If I do the same raw conversion in Lightroom, this down sampling doesn't occur. Any ideas? Thanks
Chuck Klingsporn

Charles,
 
 

You
 were the one that designated 8-bits in the Camera Raw workflow options. Click on what appears to be an underlined link right below your image in the Camera Raw dialog box. You will then be presented with the workflow options and you can set them to whatever you want.
 
 Those options are sticky, which means they will remain in place until you change them again.
 
 This is a screen shot of ACR in CS3, but the workflow options are located in the same place in CS4.

Photoshop CS4 32 bit settings work for 64 bit version?

Anyone know if Photoshop CS4 32 bit settings work for 64 bit version? I just installed Windows 7 x64 and I want to use my backup Photoshop CS4 settings from the 32 bit version. Will there be any problems?
Also, it seems that since I'm on 64 bit Windows 7, the installer forces me to install the 64 bit version of Photoshop CS4, although the 32 bit version is optional. Are the 32 bit settings stored in a different location from the 64 bit version? Or will both version use the same settings from the same place?

I think you are misunderstanding me. The sharing happens via the user home directory (C:\Users\[You]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe ...). 64bit specific settings will be denoted with an X64 in their file name, 32bit settings will be without any extra tags. Beyond that, the programs do not access each other's program directory, which shouldn't be required in the first place, as the default templates are the same for both to begin with. You can of course also copy your brushes and presets to the program directories, but then you will have to worry twice about keeping them in sync.

CS4 64-bit stopped working completely

I have a new computer with wondows 7 and when I installed CS4 it worked perfect in the beginning but after a few weeks PS CS4 64-bit stopped and I could only open the "normal" version.
If I try to open the 64-bit it says: "Adobe photoshop cs4 does not work anymore, looking for a solution" and after that I can only quit the program.
Does anybody know what the problem is and how I can fix this?
thanks in advanced,
marca

Sounds like something that was installed or configured is now in conflict with Photoshop CS4 64 bit.
Did you update anything (e.g., download new video drivers) at the time that Photoshop 64 bit stopped working?
How long has it been? Can you consider doing a System Restore back to when it worked? You might have some stuff to reinstall, but you could check after each to know what it is that's conflicting with Photoshop.
Hope this helps.

P.S., Photoshop CS4 64 bit works just fine for me on my fully up-to-date Windows 7 x64 system, so keep heart; it can work.

Wacom Intuos III in CS4 64 bit - isn't work at all - help?

Hello!
I've just barely built myself a new computer and am running Vista 64bit. I downloaded the trail version of Photoshop CS4 64 bit to play around and I noticed my tablet (Wacom Intuos 3) is not working in the program. I move my pen and nothing happens for a long while. After about 5 seconds, the cursor will move maybe 2cm but is largely unresponsive. Completely useless for painting/animating.
Is there anything I can do? All my photoshop work is tablet based so I'm starting to freak out just a little bit here. I'd really appreciate any help/advice . Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions.
I've tried everything listed and unfortunately nothing works.
I was only using the trail to see if it was worth upgrading now that I have Vista 64 bit, and in the meantime I've re-installed CS3 on my new computer... only to discover my tablet isn't working in CS3 either... I wonder if it's time to panic yet!
ETA: I'm positive this isn't a problem with my tablet as it's working fine in other programs on this PC and on my other PC. Sadly, that pc is an ancient relic so it's not as if I could use any version of CS on it.
UPDATE:
Disabling Vista's Tablet PC Input Service in Administrative Tools under the Control Panel is now allowing me to use my tablet in CS (it will at least move now). However, there is no pressure sensitivity.

Does Windows 7 64-bit "officially" support CS4 64-bit?

Just saw a post here that says, "...be aware that PS is not supported on Windows 7. Some people have got it going though," as well as other posts about CS4 doing odd things in Win7.
Just got a new i7-950/9GB/GTX-285 machine and Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. I'm eager to upgrade my old CS2 to CS4. Should I expect issues when I install CS4 64-bit in Win7? Should I wait for a later build?
Many thanks!

This is a matter of terminology.
Saying "Not supported by Adobe" means they have not added it to the system requirements. (Not surprising since when CS4 was tested, Windows 7 was not available in its released form.)
It is obvious if you read a bit in this forum that lots of people are running different versions of Photoshop under Win7 without any problems.

Ps CS4 vs. Ps CS4 (64-bit)

For some reason, when I down loaded the new version of CS4 and installed it, I now have two entries listed in "my programs" folder. One says Adobe Ps CS4 and the other is Adobe Ps CS4 (64-bit). I'm not sure what the difference is or if I'm supposed to have both or why. I'm running on Windows Vista. By the way, my Lightroom 2 application has the "64-bit" next to it as well. Any ideas?

If you are thinking "I never have files that big", don't worry. Having a 64-bit system is helping in other ways and you are at the forefront of technology.
Even if you could work out a way to do it, it is not a good idea to try and remove either 64 0r 32-bit version. It will only cause grief. Hard drive space is not so precious these days. If your drive is getting full, consider moving some of your own stuff, like image files, over to an external USB hard drive they are dirt cheap these days.
So is RAM; if your computer can take it, add some more.

Looking for filters for Pixel Bender CS4 32 bit OS

I just downloaded and installed Pixel Bender as I am hoping to get something similar to 'oil painting".
Looking for filters for Pixel Bender for:
CS4 32 bit OS.
Is there any out there?

I don't think you'll find an oil paint filter for photoshop cs4, since it wasn't until photoshop cs5 and pixel bender that had the oil paint filer and as far as i know, adobe
has never made the oil paint code public.
There used to be lots of pixel bender filters for photoshop cs4 on the adobe exchange, but adobe shut it down.

Win 7 x64 - possible to install CS4 64-bit only?

Is it possible to install only the 64-bit version of CS4 on Win7 64-bit ?
I do not really need to keep both versions (I do not use many plugins).
Thank you

The general advice is to install both 32- and 64-bit version but there is a read-me on the installation disk which tells you how install CS4 64-bit only.
Quote:
If you want to install ONLY the 64-bit application follow these steps:
1. Run the Photoshop CS4 installer.
2. Enter your serial number. Click Accept.
3. On the right side of the Options panel under the 64-bit heading, uncheck the box for Adobe Photoshop CS4 (leave the “Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64-bit)” option checked).
4. Finish installation.

Premiere Pro CS4: 64-Bit App or Not?

I read in the new Premiere Pro CS4 specs that it was "optimized for use on Win Vista 64-Bit..."
Using that language, is Adobe saying it's still a 32-bit app, but will work fine on the Vista 64-bit platform? Would appreciate somebody clarifying that point.

Unable to close Photoshop CS4 (64 bit) - Process in Windows Task Manager remains open

Hi everyone,
I've just upgraded to CS4
When i launch Photoshop for the first time, it's running normally.
But if i close it, it seems to be closed, but a photoshop.exe (64 bit) process is still remaining in memory and i can't launch
Photoshop until a kill the first process.
The computer is is Windows Vista 64 bit with 8GB of RAM and a Ndivia Geforce 9400 GT graphic card.
The problems remains if I disable OpenGL or reset prefs.
I only have the 64 bit application installed and for the rest seems fine.
All help is welcome !

I assume you reboot the computer after removing the buggy software?
I would do a search on your computer for the software and see if there are any remaining folders. If so remove them and reboot.
This is a good free removal software. It is called CCleaner and it will remove any junk remaining on your computer. Give that a try. It also has a registry cleaner too.
Up to you if you wish to use the registry cleaner. May help because there might be something left over from removing the software that is triggering the problem still.
