Is there an Image Ready feature in Photoshop CS4?

Is ImageReady no longer a part of the tool panel?

Is there an easy way to find all of those features?
Different question--I want to splice.
And I read that Photoshop is not the best software for us to do that work
in because it dumps all kinds of unnecessary code
into the file and thereby increases its page loading time?
What say you?
And are you aware of a quick, cheap and easy solution if you agree?
Thanks,
Mac

  • White balance feature in Photoshop CS4?

    Is there a white balance feature in Photoshop CS4 [like in Lightroom]?

    WB is a bit of misnomer... what your fiddling with is temperature. And it's not always in balance or using white (what is white in higher dynamic range images anyway?).
    To be honest I find the wb approach a bit cludgy in PS and far prefer to look at it in ACR if I can.
    Curves in LAB has th best response for me to correct colour casts... the colour balance tool in RGB is really doesn't live up to its name...as per the photo filters that dont. As ACR shows, you cant just slap orange over an image and say its warmer.

  • Is there a 3D rotate tool in Photoshop CS4 (non-extended)?

    I have just installed Photoshop CS4 of my new iMac.  Although I had been led to believe that even the non-extended version came with the 3D rotation tool, in fact, I can find no evidence of it!  Was I misled? If so, I am sad.  Please advise how I might find it, or even add it?

    Yes, you are probably right about how I was led to believe the 3D tool was on the "basic" CS4 Photoshop.  Thanks very much.

    Hi Meredith,
    Illy aka Adobe Illustrator aka AI.
    Photoshop CS4 (non Extended) has a Rotate view tool that works with support video cards to rotate the document canvas. Could that be what was mistakenly called out as 3D rotate tool. (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/?view=topnew) Depending on the configuration/age of your iMac model you may not se this.
    All the 3D features in Photoshop are for Extended only. (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/?promoid=DRHXB)

  • 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.

  • Has anyone experienced there computer freezing up when useing Photoshop CS4 or SC5

    My two computers both freeze up when I am useing Photoshop (working with a large file 82-120 megs with  multiple layers, channels and paths) it only ocurred when useing Photoshop. Otherwise the computrs works fine for every day tasks for buseniss and personal use, admittedly, I do not have any other resource intnsive applications other then QuickBooks or maybe a large Excel spreadsheet but I have no problem with these large files. I am not a gamer or I could try a game I hear that they can be resorce intensive.
    My first computer is used for personal and business. this computer has a number of programs on it, including Kaspersky internet security but it is not lacking in resorces, It is a Intel based computer, sporting Intel quad core 2.5 GHz CPU. running on a  32 bit Windows 7 operating system, its list of components are 4 gig ram, Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT graphics card (on the Adobe approval list sporting open GL) 4 sata hard drives, 750 watt power supply, Asus P5N-D SLI motherboard, the tower case has 7 fans and the CPU is water cooled.
    I run Photoshop CS4 on this unit.
    after I experienced this loss of critical files I call the tech support line to see if they could help with recovery of the file and to ask if they had a way to prevent this from occuring again.
    They said that I could wave bye bye to the file and the work, additionaly they said if I was working with large files like that, I should be runing a 64 bit system that could utilize additional memory.
    I really like working with the large files so I bit the bullet and spent the money for the 2nd computer that I would use as a dedicated Photoshop workstation.
    the second system has many of the same components because they have worked admirably. the key difference is as followes. 8gig ram, 64 bit Windows 7 operating system, Photoshop CS5 and the only other software is the drivers for the wacom intos4 tablet. I desided not to install any type of antivirus program because I will not be useing it on the internet except when it needs to connect to Adobe for whatever. my decision not to install antivirus can be reversed but I did not want any questions about it slowing up the computer.
    This system with Photoshop CS5, freezes up faster then the CS4 system.
    When I say Freezes up what I am referring to is the mouse and keyboard will not respond. Control/alt/delete will not bring up the task manager. Eventually I give up and have to force a shut down by pushing and holding the case start button for about 5 to 8 seconds.
    when I restart the system I check the file that I have been working and several times the file that I was working on is corrupted beyond Photoshops ability to open.
    I have used the windows 7, on board, memory diagnostics and it claims that all of the memory is fine I have reviewed the event logs and the only critacal errors are about the system being improperly shuting down. I even went to the trouble to click on the link for each error that will take you to Microsofts website and will serch for anything they have about that event and they had no help on the event.
    People with mac computers have had a similar problem that had to do with there fonts and plugins, but I do not have a mac and I have not installed any plugins. The CS5 is as it came from the factory and the Mac people kicked me out telling me to get over on my side of the street where the rest of the windows outcast are but that was only after they thought they had there problen solved. Its so funny, but losing these files is not, Please Help

    Thanks everyone for jumping in with both feet.
    Let me review what I have already done.
    (1). I have already witnessed how the wround driver for the tablet will wrack havoc. when I first started the 64 bit version of CS5 it would not recognize any PSD files at all and if you went to the file and right clicked looking for the (open with) dialog box forget-about-it the option for Photoshop was not an option.
    I called Adobe tech support and they told me that I was not going to be able to use the Wacom tablet with the 64 bit versionof Photoshop. I found that a little suspicious seeing how Wacom tablets  are the most preferred pen tablets for professional illustrators.
    I contacted Wacom and they explained that I needed to uninstall the Wacom tablet, reboot the computer, go to the website, download the new 64 bit drivers and then reinstall the tablet. after I did that. Photoshop found all of my files and opened just fine.It was only then that I found out about the freezing proplem with the 64 Bit version.
    A number of the helpful people here have tried to advise this to me but I have already be down tha road.
    (2). I have the latest drivers for the BFG Nvidia Geforce 9600 Gt, released in April of this year and I had already new that the were necessary for the open GL so this is one of the first things that I tried.
    Some one from our cousin Mac's side of the famaly and (Noel just suggested) that I try turning off the open GL. As soon as cousin Mac asked us to try this I did it (Them being famaly and all).
    I was able to give it a try on the 32 bit system on Thursday 7/8/2010.
    I was able to work on a very large file with a multitude of layers, channels and paths for about 5 hours before if froze. after the reboot I found that the file was fine and retained everything up to my last save.
    But this test is only good as circumstantial evidence because the freezes are somwhat random. They mosly happen after I have been working with a large file for quite some time but some times it can happen very quickly, maybe 25 or 30 minutes.
    Bye the way I really enjoy the humor, the Mac people are very serious people.
    the Mac users are just grouchy because they expect their computers to "just work", and of course they don't.
    We PC users have been given no such expecatations. THANKS NOEL
    Oh, don't worry about them mean old grumpy PC wanna be Mac peoples. Gota luv it THANKS dec9
    and Eight thousand dollar papper weight says it all. THANKS $8000paperweight.
    (3) the memory, CPU and mother board can not be ruled out  completly, just yet
    As for the memory I have used the on board windows 7 diagnostics and it passed. but this is a unreliable test for hevy-resource dependent applications and a load or stress test would need to be done to be confidend.
    I have a number of computers with the same kind of ram but after swaping them around I can not say that I have had any lasting results and it is compecated by experiences like what happened to me after turning off the open GL. What if I had of only worked for 4 hours? I would of thought that the problem was solved thats what would of happened
    Do any of you work with files like I have been talking about? and if so do you experience any problems?
    The motherboard can not be rulled out by any tests that I know of other then process of elimination which is at the heart of all sound diagnostics.
    I downloaded a utility that is helpful called (Cupid Z) that gives real time monitoring and idenification of components.All the voltages seem fine.A.
    I hope I will be able to up load the screen shots so you all can have a look see.
    The CPH is more than likely not the problem.
    I do have the option to install Photoshop on a third computer that has most of the same components but has a different Intel CPU. this would rull out any compatability issues (CPU with the Board) but if that were the case I dought that every other progrem under the sun works fine except Photoshop.
    dec9, I did delete the prefs on the 32bit system but I have not had time to test the operation of Photoshop as of yet.
    Lastly I will try to upload the screen shots of (Cupid Z) you will see that the latencys and the frequency are correct. Under the SPDscreen the plausible timinigs for verious common frequencies are given,, all seem to be with in range. The lantency are inside the spec.given by Corsair;s website
    Asus provides a utility that allows you to monitor Temptures and voltages and I hope to send you a screen shot of this and you can see that they all are correct.
    I would like to send the event log but I am not sure how to do that if someone could give me the 411 on how to do this I will send them to you I have saved the errors in several file formats but I cant see how you cold read them on this little page Thanks again POBOX119 signing off

  • Is there any way I can download Photoshop CS4?

    I bought Photoshop CS4 in 2010 and I downloaded it on my old desktop. Now I've gotten a new laptop and I can't find the disk to download it. I still have my code number for it though. Is there any way to download it online and then enter the code? Or perhaps transfer the application from one computer to the other- is that even possible?

  • Is there Sequential image Matte feature??

    I'm currently working on animations needs some good composite tequnique.
    I figured out how to use "Image Mask" under Effect-Video Filters and Matt section.
    Is there any other feature that will do exactly same thing as "image mask" however, will also accept sequetial animation as "image" mask?
    I'm not sure that make any sense...
    after you applied "image mask" you have the place holder to insert image (the alpha channel area.. i think).
    I can insert my sequential animation (black and white animation, black as being masked out) into the image place holder, however, it will only use first frame of the sequential animation as matte.
    I want the matte also move along with actual animation with the black area is masked out.
    I'm sorry for the very confusing language...
    I hope it make some sort of sense to you, and someone can tell me if there is such a thing/plug in.
    thank you....

    put your background video on V1
    put your animated mask on V2
    put your foreground video on V3
    select your forreground video track and chose Modify>Composite Mode>Travel Matte - Luma

  • Opening/Dragging Images from Desktop into Photoshop CS4

    I'm trying to import/drag/open a png image file from finder, my desktop, or anywhere on my hard drive into an existing photoshop document.  Unfortunately, the image does not drop into the existing document; it just bounces off.  No new layer is created.  When I try to import the photo manually from File-->Open, the image is opened in a new document instead of the existing one.
    This only occurs for images saved on my hard drive.  Any image pulled from a web browser and dragged/dropped into the document creates a layer.  I'm running Snow Leopard.
    I've installed the latest software updates to Snow Leopard and installed the latest CS4 patch, version 11.0.2.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Alex Doan

    Excuse me

    That's because when you "drag" from the web browser, you are performing a copy-and-paste from one application to another one. The Finder is not involved.  As I said earlier, "The Finder knows nothing about dragging Photoshop layers."
    My original post was poorly written.  Please ignore my digression on file-->open, which loads the image into a new layer in a new document, which it has always done and like you said, is normal behavior. 
    I was emphasizing that I can't find a way to directly insert a photo from the OS (Snow Leopard) running CS4 into an existing document in one step.  The directory path of the file on the OS is meaningless in regard to this behavior.
    Tai Lao wrote:That is perfectly normal, expected behavior. The Finder is not involved.  As I said earlier, "Are you suggesting it used to behave any differently for you earlier? ??? !!
    I am running CS5 on Snow Leopard on another computer.  Dragging and dropping a picture located anywhere on the OS into an existing document works flawlessly, and loads the image into a new layer within the open document. 
    You've lost the script by focusing on the finder.  The file path of the image, whatever it is:
    /Users/alex/Desktop/image.png
    /Users/alex/Documents/image.png
    /Users/alex/Pictures/image.png
    should be meaningless.
    Dragging and dropping an image from OS X to Photoshop is the rule and this failure the exception.
    There is something I'm not doing or a misconfiguration causing this.

  • Why can't image appear properly on Photoshop CS4?

    Why does this happen? Is there something wrong with my computer? Please help!
    This is what the original image looks like:
    But when opened with Photoshop, it looks like this:

    Thanks for the attached images.
    That looks like a classis video driver issue, or a corrupt file.
    Let's start with the video driver first:
    What OS version are you running?
    What is your GPU (video card/chip), with both the make and model?
    What is the version of the video driver installed, both number and date?
    Is that the latest video driver for your OS from the nVidia, or AMD/ATI Web site?
    Good luck,

  • Are the web features in Photoshop CS4 worth the upgrade?

    I'm not a high-end user of Photoshop, but will soon start using it to create graphics to be plugged into Portal. I'll be purchasing the web design package (I'll need Dreamweaver and Flash in the not-too-distant future), and am wondering if there are enough improvements to Photoshop's web features to justify going with the Premium edition.
    Also, for casual users of Illustrator -- do you think CS4 is worth the upgrade? Having multiple artboards sounds tempting, but is there more?
    Thanks!

  • Is there a substitute tool path for "Image Adjustments Variations-" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition?

    Is there a substitute tool path for "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition that brings similar results?  I was used to using Image>Adjustments>Variations… in Photoshop CS4 Standard Standard Addition quite often. I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition to get the 64bit memory architecture compatibility on my Macbook Pro, booted in Mountain Lion.  I see now that Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition has the "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" tool path removed.
    I don't have Photoshop CS6 Extended, which has the all new Image>Adjustments>Variations… tool path.  I only have Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition so, if anyone can share with me a substitute tool set that can give me similar results to using the old "Image>Adjustments>Variations…,"  I would appreciate it.

    Thanks, R_Kelly.
    You helped me to start exploring other tools in the Image>Adjustments Menu.  "Image>Adjustments>Color Balance…" seemed to help me get the results that "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" used to deliver.  "Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" also got me to where I wanted to be in desired adjustments.  I used to get the results I wanted in brightness, contrast, mid-tone adjustment, and color balance buy using just Curves, Variations, and Hue/Saturation.  Now I'll use "Color Balance…" and "Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" along with Curves, and Hue/Saturation.  I also have learned to use "Levels" some more to get the same effect as Adjustments>Variations…"  I always thought there were more technically precise adjustment tools to get the same effect as "Image>Adjustments>Variations…"  Adobe dropping Variations in Photoshop CS6 Mac version forced me to learn better image adjustment approaches for pre press color correction and image warming.  I feel confident now to make Photoshop CS6 my prime-time work tool and move the Photoshop CS4 launch icon off of my Mac OS app Dock.  Thanks again, R_Kelly.

  • Cannot edit PSE 5 Organizer image in Photoshop CS4

    After reverting from the Organizer in PSE 6 to PSE 5, I had been using the PSE Organizer with Photoshop CS2 without difficulty. I have upgraded to CS4, but before doing so, I replaced my hard drive and did a clean install of Windows XP and my various programs, among which was PSE 5. The catalog which had been backed up came through fine in the new install. Today I was browsing through the Organizer and chose an image to edit in Photoshop CS4. Unfortunately, although CS4 opened, I got an error message that "An error occurred while attempting to edit the file in the external editor." I tried to designate CS4 as an external editor, but, as I expected, PSE would not accept it as Photoshop is normally recognized as an editor. I had backed up Documents and Settings from my old drive and can access them, if that would be helpful. I would appreciate any information that would put ne on the right track to solve this problem.
    Ellie Dee

    There is an old workaround to make PSA2(Organizer 2)use CS2 the external editor. I have no idea if it will do any good in your case. Might be worth a try though.
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bbdbe06
    (#11 of 15)
    "Peter, we have found that PSA really does use CS2 with a simple workaround: you must go into the CS2 folder, right-click the executable file, select COPY from the pop-up menu. Now, right-click any blank area of the same folder and select PASTE to add a copy of this executable. I suggest renaming this copy to something like CS2COPY.EXE
    Now, back in PSA, point the "default editor preference" to this newly named executable file, CS2COPY.EXE. Make sure you are not selecting a shortcut to the original program executable."

  • Complaint: Animated GIF, Photoshop CS4

    I am a freelance print designer. Needless to say that I have upgraded to the Design Standard Edition of the Creative Suite 4. Still, some customers ask me to do their web banners, too.
    Fact 1:
    There is an animation palette in Photoshop CS4 Standard.
    Fact 2:
    You can create animations with that palette.
    Fact 3:
    You can save the animation as an animated GIF.
    Fact 4:
    Opening the animated GIF, you only get the first frame, so you cannot edit the animation or content inside the GIF.
    Fact 5:
    I need to alter a few animated GIFs which I created several years ago using Photoshop CS2. Due to a harddrive crash, I don't have access to the original layered PSD files any more.
    Fact 5:
    Photoshop CS4, the most advanced image editing tool on the face of the earth, is absolutely useless at this point, and I have to find freeware or shareware to do the job. Finding and purchasing this sort of software is MY time, and that is MY money.
    Whatever drove Adobe to cripple Photoshop CS4 Standard, whatever drove them to expel the simple "Open Animated GIF" feature from Photoshop CS4, it was the wrong decision.
    This, Adobe, is a customer complaint. Take it serious. There is competition, and I hear a lot about GIMP these days.
    Frustrated,
    Gero

    I know this thread is getting on a bit now, but I do have the answers.
    Quite simply, as far as I can tell, this cannot be done without Quicktime installed.
    To open an animated gif in CS4 on a PC:
    1. Go to File->Import->Video Frames to Layers
    2. In the File Name box type “*” ( or you can type the name manually) The window will now show every type of file
    3. Select your gif and you are done
    To open animated gif in CS4 on a MAC:
    1.  Go to open, select your GIF, then in the bottom left corner of the open file dialogue box select Quicktime Movie as the format, then open your GIF.
    2.  You’ll need to open your animations window by going to window -> animation. This will bring up the time line.
    3.  If you want to have all of the frames broken up into layers, click the options in the animation window, and select “Flatten Frames into Layers”.
    This will give you access to all the frames as layers and you can now edit the GIF as though it was a movie.
    I hope this helps to ease somebody's frustration.

  • Photoshop CS4 running slow on MAC OS X

    I bought myself a MAC OS X recently with a student edition of Photoshop CS4, i am currently studying photography and have been told many times that a mac would be the best option to edit images- this coupled with Photoshop CS4. However since loading the program onto my MAC i have had nothing but stress it is being extremely slow.
    For example when i start to add layers to my work it immediately slows down, esp when i start adding effects to any of the layers such as 'surface blur', the 'elliptical tool' is also slow as when i create a shape i see nothing come up on the actual image... For me to actually be able to see what i am doing i usually have to toggle between the icons on the tool bar on the side. Another slow feature is the cropping tool, when i want to move the crop the slightest bit by using the arrows on my keyboard the shape doesnt follow where its meant to go. What i have also noticed is that the 'preview' image doesn't apply on the image im working on, usually when an effect such as a blur is applied it shows what it would look like on the image before you click ok. At least this is my experience with Photoshop CS2 and a PC. This is all happening with just one image open, so you can imagine what it is like when i open multiple images... I will admit my images are large in size, but surely photoshop should be able to handle this? The macs in my university are able to handle this AND more (adding multiple layers and images on-top of each other) and they also use CS4.
    I have troubleshooted it to death, even rung the store where i bought the program and MAC from and they have updated all the features on the mac and photoshop and this has not helped. Ive even checked if it could be the video card, my mac currently has the- ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro. I believe this to be the most recent and up to date card however i haven't ruled it out as the source of the problem.  The ram has also been doubled and is now 4GB.
    One thing i do notice is that at FIRST everything seems fine, and then when i really start to get into editing an image it slows down hugely and starts to show the problems mentioned before. I have just rung the MAC support line and they advised me to open a new account on the mac and load photoshop onto there to see if its any of the settings on my particular account, again everything seemed fine at first- but then it fell back into its bad habits of being slow. 
    Any help or suggestions would be great as this is really getting me down, im a university student studying photography for my degree and i really want this resolved before i go back and start taking more photos.
    Liz

    The web psd files may be 100mb... not the actual files on a web site. 100mb files on the web would be silly All the actual final web images are almost always under 200k at the very most, more often ~50k max.
    I do several different types of projects -- web development, print production, direct mail, advertising, illustration (mostly vector in AI though), and photography retouching. My working files always hit 100MB easy.. in print production or illustration is very easy to hit 700MB - 1GB with a file if not more. Final production files are rarely that large... But I retain all working files as well for easy editing in the future. Photography retouching doesn't often create such large files. That's not to say they can't... but it's just more rare with retouching since most of the work is spot retouching or overall tonal shifts.
    File size is also greatly effected by how you work. The more non-destructive methods you use, the greater the file size can get. If you flatten layers file sizes are reduced. I don't ever flatten any layer if it can be avoided.
    Forget OWC.. they're great but not the best for RAM.. 18004memory.com has the same ram.. the same warranty.. at better prices. 4x4GB sticks = $396 for 667mhz RAM and $463 for 800mhz both with free shipping. I've got 16GB of RAM in my MacPro from 18004memory and have been wonderfully happy for over a year with it. When I loaded my machine prices were easily triple those. But then.. the economy was much better then too.

  • Problem with Photoshop CS4 after migration to new Mac

    I just migrated from an old Mac to a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks. I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS4. Specifically, two things:
    1) When I open an image in Camera Raw, I get this error:
    Fatal error - missing component
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
    2) When I try to save anything, it tells me it can't because of a program error.
    I've looked around for a solution. Apparently I had to install Java, but that hasn't solved the issue. A couple of people mentioned that reinstalling would work for a similar problem. My problem with that is that my disk is on the other side of the world and my new macbook doesn't have a disk drive anyway. So I logged into my Adobe account hoping to see a download link for software I have licences for, but there isn't one.
    So my question is firstly, whether there is a simpler solution to the errors I am getting and, if not, if there's a solution to reinstalling Photoshop CS4 without the disk.
    Thanks!

    Did you use Apple's migration tool?  It misses a lot of support files, especially in the Application Support directories.
    You'll have to copy those files manually, or reinstall the app.

Maybe you are looking for
