Is it worth upgrading to CS4?

I have used Photoshop CS2 for a few years now and want to find out from someone who has CS4 if it is worth upgrading to it from CS2.
I mainly use it for simple tasks like banners for my store.
We don't do a lot of fancy stuff as I am not really a professional.
I guess the question is: Will CS4 make life easier for a begginer or is it pretty much the same thing?
Thanks in advance.

Considering the type and volume of work You imply to be doing You may not be able to take a lot of advantage from CS4’s improvements: Canvas-rotation, improved 3D-features, Content-Aware Scale, non modal Adjustment dialogs (actually an irritant to some – me for example), etc. and last but not least Configurator.
In my opinion Photoshop CS4 is a »better thing« than CS2, but the expense may not be justified for You yet.
Moreover it seems to be widely expected that CS5 be published in 2010, so You might want to wait for that as upgrades are – if I’m not mistaken – possible for three versions.

  • Upgrade to CS4 Prod. Premium - is it trouble free

    There is probably a forum for CS4 Production Premium but I wanted to get the opinions of a few photoshop users who may have made this upgrade.
    I'm running Windows XP pro on P4 3.2gh processors with 2 gb Ram.
    I've been using Production studio of CS2 and later upgraded some tools to CS3 like photoshop and Illustrator.
    I remember having a fair bit of trouble installing Production Studio... A lot of people did when it was new.  A lot of dinking around was required as I recall.
    I'm now wanting to upgrade to CS4 Production Premium and wondered if people could share there experiences with that sort of upgrade.
    Is the cs4 package a pain in the butt to install... Did it install smoothly.
    Please let me know what to expect...

    If you can find any software that is trouble free I would like to buy stock in that company.  But seriously, CS4 makes major demands on the video card and you would be wise to read threads on this forum to see how that would affect you with your current computer hardware/csoftware.
    Yikes... I should have known someone would feel compelled to make that quip.
    Must have been clear that my question was more... `was it a pain in the butt to install'.
    Can you be a little more specific about what you are hinting at?  Hard to know how to be wise with no clue to go on.
    I have an Nvidia GeForce FX 5700LE (256MB) card
    I guess another thing to ask is if its worth upgrading to CS4.  Is there lots of new functionality?
    Just reading the `whats new' hype isn't like hearing from experienced users what they find worth using.
    I remember back when I upgraded to Production Studio, one of the big things I was after was the
    `Dynamic link' .  After the big buildup of how great it would be... I was pretty disappointed and never did find it very usefull at all. in fact it seemed to make the machine more unstable when calling up both AE and Premiere at the same time.  I quit using altogether after a few crashes.  And even when I didn't crash it just wasn't much different or better than the old way.
    This upgrade will cost me about $600 for the upgrade I'm qualified for.
    But back to the clues about what to look for... can you suggest some likely search strings to use?

  • Upgrade to CS4 or CS5?

    The agency I work for is currently using CS3, but there is a debate about upgrading to CS4 or to CS5. Because we work with a lot of print pieces one of the concerns is that most printers are probably still on CS4 so we shouldn't be more advanced than they are to avoid needing to save everything down. The other side of the argument is that the time saving features added in CS5 would be worth taking the time to save files down.
    I think it would help provide some insight to hear from someone who is familiar with CS4 and CS5, and any issues they have experienced.
    So any advice?
    Thanks for your reply!

    CS4 is not for sale. Only CS 5 is available. Moreover, any printshop worth using should have both. If they have not purchased CS 5, then they probably aren't worth working with. Upgrades like this are part of their cost of doing business. They can purchase it now or a year from now. If they purchase a year from now they will have one less year of work from the software at exactly the same price.

  • Upgrade to CS4 web premium . . . or wait for CS5 ?

    The question I have for anyone who may have some insight:  Is there anything groundbreaking in the works for Dreamweaver, Photoshop or Illustrator in CS5 which is due to be released in about 6 months ?
    We have CS3 Web Standard, and now want to upgrade to Web Premium so we can get Photoshop and Illustrator which we now need, but with some pain could probably find a way to hold off for another 6 months .... if it was worth the wait that is. We don't necessarily need (and can't afford) the latest Software version all the time, but has there been any discussion about Improvements or New Features in the next release that's going to make us regret not waiting .......... ?
    * We are a small home business, but don't want to miss out on any major changes if you know what I mean . . .

    I wouldn't expect anything groundbreaking from one version to the next.  It sometimes comes down to maximizing your operating system to take advantage of speed boosts in both the OP and CS applications.  Your existing CS3 system may not be compatable with the requirements of CS5 whatever they may be, or not.  It's hard to say.  If you are planning on getting new hardware ( sounds like you are not ), then you may want to wait. If you plan on using your existing hardware, you may be able to upgrade to CS4.  But from the sounds of it, CS3 and Tiger is a pretty good combination and you will be able to get away with using that for awhile.  There have been significant fixes from CS2 to CS4, where CS3 had it's problems in Illustrator ( not sure about PS ).  Adobe sometimes throws a bone out to people who buy CS4 and get a break when they ante up for CS5, just be aware of the system requirements.

  • I want to buy or upgrade to CS4

    hello,
    when I was in college in 2008, I bought a student edition of CS3.
    since then, I've tried each new version of photoshop that has come available, and CS4 is my absolute favorite.
    however I'm very confused by this new creative thing where you have to pay every month.
    I just want to buy an upgrade to cs4.
    is this possible, I don't know how to contact adobe support

    You simply can't buy Photoshop CS4 directly from Adobe.
    Adobe now only sells perpetual licenses to Photoshop CS6, and subscriptions that will allow you to run Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC 14.x, and Photoshop CC (2014).
    The newest versions of Photoshop aren't really that different from Photoshop CS4, except that they have a lot of new features.  They may require a bit more from your computer system to run.
    There is a decently priced subscription program whereby you get use of Lightroom and Photoshop for $9.99/month.  It's worth looking into.

  • Will I commit suicide by upgrading to CS4????

    I currently have CS3 and would like to upgrade to CS4 if it agrees with my system. My specs are:
    Q6600 @3.2Ghz
    ASUS P5E WS motherboard
    4GB DDR2 800mhz
    4 500GB drives (7,200)
    8800GT nVidia
    XP x64
    Do you have similar specs and run CS4?
    Are you having problems?
    Do you want to kill yourself because it would be easier than going back to CS3?
    Like it or Love it, what are your specs?

    Everything is on four 500GB, 7200-rpm drives setup as a single 1-TB Raid 10.
    And yes, I know that "officially" XP x64 Professional is not supported, however, when I spec'd the computer and had it built and delivered in early September, there was no indication from Adobe that they were going to abandon X64 with CS4 (Thank you Adobe!).
    Since I had just paid for and had a working installation of X64, I was not of the mind to invest the time and money to go to an untried, resource hogging OS just to have flashy icons, so when Production Premium CS4 arrived in mid October, I installed it and everything, except Premiere, worked perfectly.
    Photoshop 64-bit is amazing! And rock solid. I love that the Clone Stamp shows you what it will look like before you apply it and that the fonts all show previews.
    After Effects runs my 1280x720p footage at 25 - 30 fps and exports Composition/Make Movie using the LEAD MJPG codec perfectly. Never any problems whatsoever.
    Encore works flawlessly, although I admit I'm just scratching the surface of how to use it.
    And, once I got a clearer picture of how Dynamic Link works from an Adobe employee who actually knew how it worked, rather than the poorly written descriptions in all the Adobe documentation, even DL has been stable and usable.
    Only Premiere has ever crashed.
    Only AME has failed to export using the MJPG codec. Before the update, it too would crash. After the update, it exports about 1-minute's worth of timeline, and then reports a "disk full" error.
    As long as I am working with DV footage, everything is fine in Premiere. And as long as I export hidef footage as UYVY uncompressed through AME and compress the output later in the workflow, everything is fine.
    So, Officially supported or not, XP x64 works just fine.
    But, the point of my original post is that a number of people are having timeline playback problems and perhaps the audio has more to do with it than the video card/drivers.
    Thought they might like to know in case it might help solve some issues. :)

  • Upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5. did not go smoothly, now stuck at CS5 - how do I fix the installation?

    Hi There,
    I had a lot of issues upgrading from CS4 (Adobe Application Manager crashing, installer not opnening etc) but managed to get the installer to run by using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of CS4.
    However, when the installer finished, it stated there were errors and now the installers won't run - nor can I run updates from the CS apps that did install.
    I've normally never had any issues upgrading, so am not sure why I had so many issues and the best way forward from here - Hoping I don't have to remove all the CS5 apps, use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again and start from the begining.
    I'm trying to install Master Collection CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.2
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Have had to hang up as I was calling the US using a New Zealand Mobile while in Portugal (long story) - and the 11 minute wait time would've cost the same amount as the CS5.5 upgrade!
    I had to call the US because:
    The New Zealand support number listed on the Adobe site doesn't work
    New Zealand is not listed as a country Adobe suppoprt will call back from the "Schedule a callback" page
    What a joke.
    I used the Adobe Support Adviser app to analyze the install error log and it provided me with a very helpful link to a support page that states "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing."
    Unfortunately, nothing was installed.
    I need to do work while a long way from home and can't use/install any CS5 apps - does anyone know how to install CS5 in Lion?
    Cheers

    Seems like you have very much overkill in certain areas and not enough in others. If you will be running Dreamweaver, you don't need a lot of RAM! If, on the other hand you will be using Photoshop, you need a lot of RAM. I've been using Photoshop since 1992 and the more RAM the better, up to about 6 GIGs, then it really doesn' make much of a difference. As for the Graphics cards, not sure why you need 2?? I use Photoshop professionally and have never needed 2. As for the RAM, the graphics cards have their own RAM built in and it should not rob from you system. I use a Quad processor HP running Vista 64 bit. Photoshop flys, as do my other programs. However, I will tell you, if you change to 64 bit, be prepared to upgrade most all of your software, and on top of that, a lot of software is not capitable with 64 bit at this time. I played Hell getting my system set up running 64 bit. If you are not going to be using Photoshop, which is RAM hungry, you do not need more that 4 gigs of RAM.

  • Help w/ upgrade (corrupt) CS4 - CS 5.5 ; MSOffice 2007 - 2010

    Hello:
    I recently conducted a LONG phone-based support incident, and I have reviewed the many KB articles on my topic(s) but I still have some questions.
    ISSUE: 
    I need help with uninstalling & cleaning up CS4 in order to cleanly install CS5.5, coincident with a planned upgrade from Office2007 to Office2010 on a Win7(x64) SP1 PC.  I use fully-licensed educational versions of Adobe CS & MS Office products.
    In particular, I need to know if I should upgrade Office2007 to Office 2010 BEFORE uninstalling CS4 and installing CS5.5, or the other way around?
    Background:
    1) Several weeks ago, Adobe PDF Printer in Acrobat 9 of my long-standing, fully-patched CS4 install inexplicably disappeared from my system.
    2) TMAVLSS, After several long weeks of phone assistance with escalated Tech Support, including attempts to repair the PDF printer, reinstall it, uninstall drivers, reinstall it again, etc we were unsuccessful.  Failure was ultimately attributed to "core driver package" corruption.
    3) All other components of CS4 have continued to work just fine, including Acrobat, as well as scanning to pdf from my HP printer, "saving" Word docs as pdf.  But I have been getting by without Adobe PDF Printer.
    4) It was suggested that we completely uninstall CS4 and reinstall it.  Since I knew CS5.5 was soon to be released, I opted to wait.
    5) I now have a boxed educational version of CS5.5 and a licensed, educational DVD of MSOffice 2010 Pro.
    6) So I think I have everything to proceed, but I am a bit uncertain about the correct sequence to do this.
    7) One other wrinkle is that KIS2012 has just been released.  Upgrade will require that I first uninstall KIS2011.
    Questions:
    1. Should I perform the Office upgrade first, or should I upgrade Adobe CS first?
    2. I assume, given the unresolved issues with the Adobe PDF Printer in my Acrobat 9 component of CS4, that I should perform a complete uninstall of CS4 & perhaps all Adobe Products (Including Adobe AIR), then run the CS4-5 removal tool, and only then attempt to cleanly install CS5.5?
    3. Would it be advisable -- to avoid potential subtle AV or firewall issues -- to perform the Office and CS upgrades with KIS uninstalled (taking into account the requisite security considerations)?
    If Adobe staff monitor this board, and if they would like the details/case number of my recent extended Tech Support incident, please let me know, and I will provide it via PM.
    In the interim, I most certainly appreciate your assistance and advice!
    RM

    Hello, mylenium:
    Thanks for your reply.
    Kindly indulge my concern about this.
    I am not a computer geek, but I have been working with PCs long enough to know that it often helps to plan ahead.
    I am just looking to get a clean, uncorrupted install of CS5.5 DS Educational, with minimal risk.
    Adobe CS is a LARGE, complex package, deeply integrated into the OS and other programs, and installation of which has been troublesome from time to time over the years.
    And it has certainly cost me countless hours of frustration recently, trying to resolve the PDF Printer mess, especially since TS ultimately left my system in worse shape than it was when I first called.
    I am not looking for guarantees or assurances.
    I am really just looking for answers to my original questions.
    (As far as the security stuff is concerned, I have the info I need on that from another source.)
    So:
    1) You say, "you will have to run the Cleaner Tool eventually", but do not say at what point in the process. I assume I will need to follow the tutorial posted in the Help section of the CS web site.
    2) You say, "...None of that has anything to do with Microsoft's apps".  Could you please tell me, though, whether I should perform the Office upgrade FIRST, or the Adobe CS5.5 upgrade FIRST?
    3) I am confused by the "dumb file overwrite process" you mention.  If I will be UNinstalling CS4 and running a cleanup tool prior to cleanly installing CS5.5, what files would remain to be over-written? (I am not planning an in-place upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5.)
    Thanks very much for your patience and consideration,

  • CS3 (on Windows 7) upgrade to CS4

    Hello -
    I currently have CS3 Master Collection running on Windows 7 64bit Ultimate RC. I know that CS3 is not certified to run on 64bit systems and yes I know that my version of Win 7 is a beta build.
    So my question is:
    - Once I get the *real* Win 7 OS later this month, would it be ok to install CS3 on there and then the upgrade to CS4?
    ...or
    - Should I install a Win XP 32bit OS, install CS3, upgrade to CS4, then upgrade to Win 7?
    I realize any which way I go, I'll have to de-activate, wipe clean the HDD, and then reinstall with whichever methods you experts recommend. Or maybe some other way you all can think of that I may not be seeing here.

    I understand your point here BUT.....
    ....your method that you are describing sounds to me like I have to purchase a FULL CS4 version rather than an upgrade version....correct? Or does the upgrade version just need the serial / registration / activation number, code or whatever from my current CS3 and not necessarily be installed?
    So here's what I was thinking that I could do:
    - Buy Win7
    - Install on new HDD
    - Install CS3
    - Buy CS4 (UPGRADE Version)
    - Install it
    - Start using it!!
    Your thoughts?

  • New apple tv worth upgrade

    I own the original Apple TV and am wondering if there is anything about the new one that makes it worth upgrading?

    You have to look at them as different products with different purposes. If you fully used all the features of ATV1, then you would miss some things. If you only used the streaming functions of ATV1, then ATV2 is a very positive upgrade.
    I have both. Had the ATV1 for a couple of years. I liked the ATV1 except for lacking Netflix and the VERY slow interface speed.
    ATV2 is very quick, small, silent, and runs cool.
    Having both an ATV1 and ATV2, I must admit that I am disappointed that the ATV2 cannot access the library on the ATV1, nor can the ATV1 stream to the ATV2 as an AirPlay Speaker. Seems like an oversight.
    So the only way to play your iTunes library or photos over ATV2 is you MUST have a Mac/PC turned on at all times. When I pack up my Laptop and head to the office, my house, spouse and kids have no access to our family music library. Unless I hook up the ATV1 to the same main stereo system as the ATV2. Need both. ;-(

  • Upgrading from CS4 to CS5 Prod Premium

    Please excuse me if this has been discussed (although I only found one short thread relating to my question).
    I have received my upgrade version of CS5.5 (DVD version).
    I am currently running CS4.2.1 Do I have to deactivate my current version before I attempt the upgrade?
    My installation history started with Prem Pro CS4 then I upgraded to CS4 Prod Premium for the whole suite. My experience of upgrading at that time was stressed!!
    I had to go to online support and enter my Prem Pro serial number in with my Prod Premium serial number which produced a THIRD number - oh, the long winded nature of it all.... Meanwhile 24 hours later!
    So, is it now quite simple? But do I have to deactivate my current and operational version first?

    Absolutely amazing!
    Wow!! I must say my installation experience of CS5.5 was nothing like CS4. It took just 45 minutes - no hassle and once I entered my Adobe ID it didn't even ask for the old serial numbers.
    And now the best part. No more red line renders on my HDV timeline which was a real pain as I couldn't even play the timeline after I made adjustments. Now I get a playable yellow bar. This is going to save me hours of edit/render time.
    What a difference...
    And to Harm - yes, I don't regret.
    Happy Happy Happy

  • Upgraded to CS4 but CS3 not completely unistalled

    I had the CS3 Master Collection, which was recently upgraded to CS4. Before the upgrade, I kept getting message that the Illustrator wouldn't update. All other apps in the collection updated just find. The CS4 upgrade ran just fine. In addition a CS3 uninstall ran to completion. The system has since been booted a number of time.
    I am still getting messages that the CS3 Illustrator is trying to upgrade and can not. Also, I still have a set of icons in my startup menu for the old CS3 with the icons disabled.
    Any advice on how to fix these? I am running Windows XP. There is nothing in the Control Panel; Add/Remove Programs list to run related to CS3 any longer.

    Try downloading ccleaner from www.ccleaner.com and running the registry
    cleaner in that.

  • Uninstall CS2 after upgrade to CS4 - is there a new walktrough

    Just upgraded from CS2 Premium to CS4 Premium on Mac 0SX 10.5.6, but left CS2 on there as I wanted to copy over a few preset files etc from CS2 to CS4.
    Now I want to remove CS2. I've got an old document link for removing CS2 but it mentions removing directories that I know CS4 has installed or shares (e.g. Adobe Utilities and Adobe Updater)
    Is there a new walkthrough or utility to remove CS2 once you have upgraded to CS4?

    That's a bit too succinct and general....
    In your apps folder will be a folder call 'Adobe Creative Suite 2'. Within this is an' uninstallers' folder which contains the file 'How to uninstall.pdf'. This file is reproduced (as far as I can tell) at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331301
    This talks you through the various folders/files to remove.
    BUT BEWARE - this was written before CS3/4 existed and as my post (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b82bde) points out, there will be some folders it suggests you remove, but that CS4 actually need (e.g. Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities folder).
    I'm seeking a new 'How to Remove CS2 after installing CS4' document myself.
    Have spoken to Adobe Tech support today and their suggestion was to "not remove any files/folders you think CS4 may need'.
    How flaky is that for Technical Support - some people like to keep their hard drives lean.
