> navigation between points on an Adjustment Layer's Curve can no longer be done with Control-Tab and Control-Shift-Tab. This allowed me to use my left hand to navigate between points and my right (using the arrow keys) to make adjustments.
Ralph -
Yes, that was a pretty ergonomically wonderful way of working with curves. My muscle memory had gotten to the point that I made color adjustments like playing a piano - not looking at the keys, not thinking, just doing.
> In the present set-up, it is necessary to use the plus and minus keys, which I find a bother.
I'm experimenting with a new approach. Once points are placed, I use my left hand to cycle through channels (option-2 through 6 for CMYK), and the middle finger on my right hand to work the "+" and "-" keys, and the thumb on my right hand to work the arrow keys. Not as elegant as the old way, but workable.
> the pointing finger is 'de-acttivated' and must be re-activated, and I've found no keyboard shortcut for accessing it if one wishes to use it.
Yes, a definite drag. A keyboard shortcut to activate the on-screen adjustment tool would be great. Does anyone know if one exists?
> There would appear to be some glitches with the Adjustment Layer's Curves panel when shifting between Standard and Expanded view
Why not leave it in Expanded view?
> point Curves in ACR 5, which continues to work in the old way
Nice, but it offers no joy for CMYK work.

My current Camera Raw 5.7 for Photoshop CS4 Extended does not support Canon EOS 6D. What can I do? Will there be a Photoshop Camera RAW for that?

You would need Camera Raw 7.3 or later to open those files. Adobe is not going to update CS4. You can either get a newer version of Photoshop that comes with a current version of Camera Raw, or you can use the DNG converter to save your files down to the ACR version that works with CS4.

Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?

Photoshop CS4 11.0 and 11.0.1 for Windows crashing when saving a newly opened document

If I open a new document in Photoshop CS4 11.0 or 11.0.1 for Windows (on Windows XP SP3 home edition) and then try to save it, Photoshop window disappears (I guess the program crashes, although no Widows crash dialogue is displayed).
Workaround: If I open an existing document (say TIFF) and then erase all from it (say background layer, etc.) change ppi, paper size and format, etc., and save it (say as PSD) Photoshop does not crash.
Has anybody experienced similar problem and does anybody know if there is a fix for it?
Thanks.
Regards,
Robert

Your
New Doc Sizes.psp preference file is probably corrupted.
Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.

Photoshop cs4 bridge,getting not enough storage message.

I have a computer that the motherboard died a couple of weeks ago. The motherboard and processor have been replaced as well as upgrading the ram from 4 gb to 12. We were able to use the old hard drive with no problems, maybe, just booted it up yesterday and am still working things out. Photoshop cs4 was installed on the computer and it seems to be working fine, except that I'm getting "not enough storage" messages when I try to do things I was able to do before the colapse. One thing I've noticed is that in the 32 bit version of Photoshop preferences it shows around 3 gb of ram available while the 64 bit version shows the full 12gb. Is this typical? and if not why would it be showing up this way? I'm not sure that has anything to do with the problems with bridge it is a stand alone program now. Anyway, does anyone have any idea what could be the problem with this? Would uninstalling and re-installing the programs help?
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit system
12 GB RAM
I'm not sure what else would be needed about the computer, let me know if there is anything else.
Thanks for any help,
Linda

Is the "not enough storage" error message showing up in Bridge or Photoshop? I ask that because it seems to be a Bridge error message and the Bridge forum could better handle that.
If Photoshop is giving you this message, check your Preferences > Performance and see that the ram allocated is not more than 65-70% of total and look at your scratch disk allocation in that section as well.
I would also consider resetting Photoshop's preferences. Sometimes that clears up problems, and of course be sure you install the latest CS4 updates.
I'm assuming you have to use 32 bit Photoshop CS4 (example32 bit third party plugins). If not use 64 bit CS4 and see if that works.
I'd heed the upgrade advice as well. After December, CS4 to CS6 upgrade price will increase from $200 to $700.

Photoshop CS4 Extended will not open file from Bridge.

This is 2nd time this has occurred. Last time I uninstalled CS4 and re-installed to fix it. Prefer to not do that again.
System: XP Media center, SP3, 3 GB memory, Athlon 64x2. Generic - motherboard graphic card. 18 GB disk space remaining.
Typical work flow is edit DNG files in Lightroom. Once done, select DNG files in Bridge and under Tools run the Photoshop Image Processor which changes color profiles, sharpens and converts to JPEG and saves. Done this probably a thoudand times. Ran a batch Sunday afternoon fine.
I may have interrupted an Image Processor batch that was just starting and glitched something.
Now Bridge will open Photoshop but nothing gets imported with the Image Processor. Also Bridge will not run a Batch. Bridge will open Adobe Raw for editing a DNG but cannot load it into Photoshop.
Once I try any of these things, Photoshop will usually not close/exit and many menu items are shaded out. For example, opening a file or starting a new file is not available. Activate/Deactivate not accessible. Can Deactivate and Activate through InDesign. Photoshop seems OK otherwise if re-started after re-boot.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

So far, no good. Here is what I have done and current symptoms.
1) I backed up all the settings and workspace files, then deleted them. No change.
2) No matter what I do, everytime I hold down the control, alt and delete keys when starting PS CS4 all I get is the Windows start settings "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Properties" box where you can select "Target" and "Start In" paths. I do not get any dialog or confirmation to reset anything.
3) Bridge successfully reset preferences using the Control key while starting it up.
Everything about Bridge has appeared to function corectly before and after these changes. But when the Tools/Image Processor or Batch is called, it starts Photoshop OK but nothing in imported to be processed.
Photoshop opens (either from import or stand alone start) with menus partially functioning. Under the file tab, nothign important works. Cannot open a file, cannnot start a file, cannot exit - all grayed out. But keyboard shortcuts do work and I can open a file or start a new file using the shortcuts. Once I get a file open with the keyboard shortcut, most of the menu functions come back under the file tab and can be used and can exit PS. The "X" in the upper right corner to close the program still remains greyed out and not functional. The Activate/Deactivate options under Help remain grayed out.
4) I deactivated the Suite from within InDesign and the I uninstalled only PS using the Windows uninstall utility. I reinstalled PS from the CS4 Suite which of course reinstalled Bridge and some other utilities. I reactivated from within InDesign and ran all updates from within InDesign since updates were still grayed out in PS. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.)
Problems still exist as described.
5) Finally I deactivated again from within InDesign and re-installed the whole CS4 Suite without uninstalling anything before hand. I noticed that process did an uninstall before each module was re-installed.
Problems still exist as described above. I did notice that Photoshop showed itself still Activated (but grayed out) in the help menu even though I had previously deactivated the suite before the re-install. Ran complete Updates from within Bridge. Encountered an error (Adobe CSI CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Drive CS4 1.0.1,Adobe Extension Manager CS4 2.1:Failed to install.) but continued on. Everything else updated OK.
I looked through the registry settings for the settings path as noted in referenced forum links and all looked correct.
Additional Notes: I installed the OnOne Plugin Suite 4 a few weeks ago. Everything has run smothly since then until this problem poped up. After the Uninstall/reinstall the OnOne menu option appears as normal. As do my old Nik plug ins. I doubt this has anything to do with the issue.
Any more ideas outside of starting all over on a clean drive/machine which I really dread even contemplating?
Thank you.

Photoshop CS4 on Vista not seeing 4 gigs of RAM

I am running Photoshop as part of the CS4 Suite on a bootcamped intel mac pro towers using Vista Business with 4 gigs of Memory. We are running in 32 bit mode because of the Apple screw up with Carbon 64 so that both sides of the house windows and mac match.
Photoshop is currently only seeing 1639 MB of the RAM instead of the performance on the Mac of about 3000 MB
So does anyone know what is going on here and how I can get Photoshop and or Vista to recognize most if not all of the RAM installed on these machines.
Specs are below...
Adobe Photoshop Version: 11.0 (11.0x20080919 [20080919.r.488 2008/09/19:02:00:00 cutoff; r branch])
Operating System: Windows Vista 32-bit
Version: 6.0 Service Pack 1
System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:7, Stepping:6 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2
Physical processor count: 4
Processor speed: 2793 MHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Video Mode: 1680 x 1050 x 4294967296 colors
Video Card Driver: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll
Driver Version: 7.15.11.8048
Built-in memory: 2037 MB
Free memory: 1178 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 1640 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 55 %
Image cache levels: 4
Application folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\
Temporary file path: C:\Users\MGD\AppData\Local\Temp\
Photoshop scratch has async I/O enabled
Scratch volume(s):
C:\, 349.4G, 324.0G free
Primary Plug-ins folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\
Additional Plug-ins folder: not set

While Jim's suggestion is the only solution to addressing all your system's memory, I am surprised you only have 2037 MB (built-in) memory. Perhaps you are running processes or have devices attached which are eating into your memory by as much as .5 MBs?
I also have 4GBs installed ram. Right off the top, Windows strips 1 GIG to reserve space for Video Cards and other devices. I lose another .5 MB to the system.
This is a well-known limitation of 32-bit systems and like Jim says, there is little to be done except to upgrade to Vista 64. You can remove devices and stop processes and services, but you'll not ever see . . . at very best . . . 3.5 GBs. (Well, you might by using the /PAE switch, but that is more risk than I'm willing to play with.)
This is what my system looks like:
Operating System: Windows Vista (Ultimate) 32-bit
Version: 6.0 Service Pack 1
System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:7, Stepping:7 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2
Physical processor count: 4
Processor speed: 3666 MHz
Video Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Video Card Renderer: GeForce GTX 280/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL Drawing: Enabled.
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280
Video Mode: 1920 x 1200 x 4294967296 colors
Video Card Driver: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll
Driver Version: 7.15.11.7740
Built-in memory: 2557 MB
Free memory: 1281 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 1640 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 60 %
Image cache levels: 4
Thus far, I've not encountered any problem using a 32-bit version. That is partly because I've not done anything with PS or other applications which might cause problems. But, as I do more with the Master Suite I expect that situation to change. Then, I'll upgrade to Vista 64.
I'm kinda keeping my eyes and ears open about Windows 7. Unless I encounter performance problems, I'd rather wait for the next version. According to rumors, the earliest date would be the end of the year, if not early 2010.

Bridge is not tied to any restrictions in terms of activation or requiring specific components to be in place, hence it almost always works. Do you correctly run the install with administrative privileges?

Photoshop CS4 Ex. disc not accepted by computer

Hi, I've just tried to mount DVD Photoshop CS4 extended but my Mac pro 2x2.66 GHz Dual- Core Intel, running Mac OS X version 10.5.8, will not accept it. The disc is ejected.
Other applications on DVD are accepted so the problem cannot be the internal disc reader.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello Cowboy,
No, I mean stuff like e.g. Nik software - Silver efex pro. Strange
though, the CS4 app mounts on my Macbook with same OS .
Exactly the same thing with CS4 In Design. The disc just clicks away
and is ejected.
Both Adobe products are for the Mac, not Windows.
These were brand new products - just opened the packages this morning.
Perhaps it is something wrong with the drive - but why will it open
other disks?
Thanks for the reply.

Photoshop CS4 Trial Will not start. Error message will pop up saying ...

"Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."
-CS4 Photoshop
-Vista Home Premium
-HP
I've been at this for days, I've uninstalled, reinstalled, clean scripted, everything i could think of. I have no luck with anything! What is strange is that Bridge will still work, but just Photoshop alone won't.
If anyone could help .. in anyway at all, it would be greatly appreciated!

Photoshop CS4 on Yosemite Not Printing

Thanks to Millenium, I got CS4 to work on Mac OS X Yosemite, but it seems like my Epson r2880 won't print from it. I can get printing from CS6 and other programs, but not from CS4 :-? Any ideas?

I might want to follow up as to why a uninstall/reinstall did not fix this. Unless you checkmark "Remove Preferences" on uninstall, they will be the same on on install. The same goes for Tool settings. Unless you reset all tools, the settings will be respected. That's a good thing if you don't want to reconstruct all your settings, but a bad thing if Preferences are corrupted or you mistakenly apply the wrong setting to a tool.

Photoshop cs4 & cs5 will not deactivate

I have done this several times for both. Deactivate button works. Photoshop says it is deactivated and quits. Yet I can fire it up again and it still works.
I need to reformat this drive and start again and don't want to run into activation problems. Can't find this problem in a search.
Any help...please,

Hi Robbin,
The code in the index page needs some correction.
Then it renders fine in Contribute in Edit mode.

I'm getting an error starting Photoshop CS4. Error number 148.3 Licensing for this product has stopped working. I rebooted several times to no avail. Still get the same error message everytime I try to start Photoshop. I'm using Windows 7 -- 64 bit

If you can not use CS4 menu Help>Activate|Deactivate to get the install working again you may need to re-install CS4.

Edit in adobe photoshop cs4 not working

Hi there!
I have Lightroom 2.3 & Adobe Photoshop CS4 installed.
The "edit in adobe photoshop cs4" function is not working for my RAW files (DNG). When I select "edit in adobe photoshop cs4", Photoshop is started up, but it doesn't load anything. It is working for other formats like JPG/TIF/PSD, as an -EDIT version though.
Anyone any idea? Thanks in advance!

Normally, when this happens it's because the version of Camera Raw installed with Photoshop doesn't support your camera. You haven't mentioned which camera you are using, but it's probably worthwhile downloading the latest version of Camera Raw (currently 5.3, but there's a release candidate of 5.4 available from http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.4
