Issues with Photoshop CS4 and Spacebar/Hand tool

I am pretty sure this is not the other hand tool problem I have read about. What happens is when I want to move around a document I click the spacebar to get the hand tool, in previous versions of PS i could do this and when I let go of the spacebar the cursor goes back to the previous tool I was using. In cs4 it doesn't go back to the previous tool unless I hit the spacebar again. This also hinders my zooming in and zooming out, I have to click the space bar let go and then click either the ctrl or alt button alone to zoom. It used to be that i could hit space+ctrl and let go and it would go to the previous tool.
I have PS cs4 on WinXp. I have checked every place i could in the prefs and in the keyboard shortcuts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is really hindering my workflow.

That is a good idea, but the keyboard is fairly new and I didn't have a problem with this on cs3 last week with the same keyboard.
It could have just become noticeable!
Other than that you could experiment with different setting in OpenGL or look at keyboard repeat rate in the Control Panel applet.

  • Print issue with Photoshop CS4 and Officejet 6500

    I have a Windows 7 Business 64 bits desktop computer. After  installing the Officejet Pro 6500 multifunctional drivers all was  working OK. Images were being printed nice and with the correct size  using Windows print option. After installing Adobe CS4 suite, all images  printed from windows or Photoshop have incorrect size (photoshop prints  it smaller, about 33%, and on upper left corner of the sheet).
    Photoshop sucks but Illustrator print fine. The only way I can print  at the good size in Photoshop, it's when I select Microsoft XPS  document writer as printer and print from there... Not very user friendly !!!
    And  yes, it was always the HP Officejet 6500 E709n fax selected by default  by Photoshop instead of  HP Officejet 6500 E709n !
    Is anybody can say if it's an HP issue or an Adobe issue ??? Why Illustrator print fine and Photoshop don't ???
    Thank's  in advance.

    Deleting the fax printer  associated with this device to allows correct printing is not an  acceptable alternative for me.
    If it is a printer issue, why I can print correctly from Illustrator ???

     Or: you can go into windows and select a default printer or then the one you use to print with in PS. Then when you are ready to print in PS select the printer. See if that works.
    That's my normal configuration then I can't change nothing when all is ok.
    Thank you very much for your answer ! Maybe anybody have an other solution or explanation.
    Thank's for your patience.

  • Hi, I have an issue with Photoshop CC and Lightroom

    Hi, I have an issue with Photoshop CC and Lightroom. I purchased a subscription the other day, they told me to install the CC app to install these. I installed the app, logged on and it still says trial version. How can I solve this? Could I be that the subscription is not activated yet?

  • How do I print accurate colors with Photoshop CS4 and Yosemite?

    I recently upgraded to OS 10.10, Yosemite. I can no longer get accurate colors printed for photos from Photoshop. I have Photoshop CS4 and I use an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer. I am able to use Photoshop for everything but printing accurately. I downloaded all recommended drivers for the printer, reloaded profiles for the printer and even tried a trial of Photoshop CC. Nothing resolves the problem. My prints look kind of solarized. Black and white photos have green areas where there should be black. Please help.

    I thought my problem could be Lightroom is in ProphotoRGB color space, and my printer is Adobe1998 color space.  To test this, I changed the color space of my patches from prophoto to AdobeRGB. I checked my colors in Photoshop, and made them match the RGB number I specified.  It was interesting to note that (128,128,255) had a noticeable shift to purple.  the other colors shifted slightly.  Now I printed the test page with Lightroom managing color and the printer managing color.  Both images came out similar.
    This study came about when I was printing some images, and the sky had a definite purple shift.  So, I took the image into Photoshop and converted the colorspace from prophoto to Adobe.  Printed the image, and the image came out much better.
    So the question now is, do I need to convert each image I print in Photoshop, or am I doing something wrong in Lightroom?

  • Installation and compatibility issues with photoshop CS4 - Win 8

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 8. I am experiencing issues when attempting to install the downloaded and upgrade copy of photoshop CS4. Initially unpacking the software presented issues, but I believe they've been resolved - specifically I had to change the folder attribute from read only  while unpacking, of course the tedium arose when this endeavor didn't seem to apply the new attributes to all subfolders and files. I percivered though by repeating it for each folder throughout. When I select the icon for the setup.exe file though the process ends as quickly as it began. I considered that it my have been seeking the previous version (in my case photoshop elements) so I sought to install it first, but as you may have guessed the old software is experiencing it's own compatibility issues. Does anyone know if photoshop CS4 will even work in Windows 8, and I hope someone will have already cleared this hurdle and can give me direction - please, I really am hoping for a life preserver here!
    Thankyou, Chris
    PS I did attempt to open one of the attached adobe reader files that came with the downloaded copy, but unfortunately they won't open prior to installation given they show the file size 0kb. I don't know if these files are simply acting as place holders for the cab files - or whether there remains an issue while unpacking the files to begin with.

    If the executable doesn't even run, it's either being shut down by some security stuff on your system or can't find a component. Impossible to tell. whiel there may be compatibility issues, on a more general level CS4 should run on Win 8...

  • Having serious issues with Photoshop CS4. It quits frequently while I'm working?

    Photoshop CS4 keeps quitting or crashes as often as every 10 or 15 minutes. This has happened before but rarely, mostly when I'm working on a large file but it's been happening more often than ever lately. Please help.

  • Issues with PHOTOSHOP CS4 on Windows 7

    Hi!
    I'm using photoshop CS4 on Windows 7, and i have a problem. I'm working on a Core I7 920 with 6Go of ram.
    I'm using the 11.0.1 version (the latest), and even with that, the brush is awfully slow on windows 7. I tried with and without the "Open-GL drawing" enabled, it doesn't change anything. I thought it could be the fault of Windows 7's "tablet PC" function, but even after uninstalling it, i still have the same problem. I tried it on XP SP3 on the same computer, and it works normaly.
    As i also had some problems with AE, i guess the compatibility is not perfect. I think Adobe should really think about an update for 7 users.

    Here's a possible solution (work around) to the lag problem, that worked for me.
    Open the Wacom Tablet Properties, double click on the tablet and make sure its in "Standard" mode.
    Click on the Mapping Tab ->set the mapping mode to Mouse and turn off Mouse Accelerration.
    I also either disabled anything that I didn't use.
    Hope this helps.

  • Satellite A200 - Picture issue with Photoshop CS4 Extended

    Hi Everyone
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 notebook and I have tried to install Photoshop CS4 Extended yesterday.
    There appears to be a problem as every image I bring up looks like this (image link to my flickr account to show what is happening) http://www.flickr.com/photos/meg_and_fred/2990212103/
    I have updated the ATI driver, uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 and its still not working. I also have Photoshop Elements 6 which is opening the same images perfectly so it mus be a CS4 and A200 compatibility problem - does anyone know how to fix this or what the problem could be?
    Thanks so much!!

    Maybe you should update your Photoshop CS4 Extended software.
    In my opinion this could solve this issue because as you said the picture can be edited properly using the Photoshop Elements 6.
    I think its ONLY a Photoshop CS4 Extended software issue.

  • Anyone having issues with Photoshop cc and second monitor in mavericks.

    My Pallet windows want to open on my iMac not on the second monitor a dell.  When I reload my work space everything works fine but when I then open another image it does the same thing. Tried using different  setting for open gl.  Basic normal advanced with a photohosp restart after each one.

    Okay. Sign out of and uninstall the CC desktop app, run the CC Cleaner tool, and re-install. https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

  • CS6 spacebar/hand tool scroll no longer shows the desktop scrolling

    Just got CS6, and spacebar/hand tool scroll no longer shows the desktop scrolling, it only shows the rulers moving and I have to use my imagination to know if my scroll/pan is taking me where I want to be. What's up with that? I really need to see where my scroll is taking me.

    I ve already restarted it twice hoping that would be the issue but still won't work

  • More on Photoshop CS4 and Epson print drivers

    I just got my Epson Stylus Pro 7900 with the SpectroProofer option. One thing the SpectroProofer enables is bypassing everything to talk to the printer directly. I made up a sample target (based on Bill Atkinson's RGB 5x12 Hues Target) and printed/measured this with the SpectroProofer. I then took the output printed by the SpectroProofer and measured this manually with MeasureTool and my Eye-One Pro (Rev B ). The average/worst correlation was 1.00/2.02 Delta E 2000, good enough for me given two different instruments and the SpectroProofer patches are a tad narrow for the Eye-One.
    I then printed the same target with Photoshop CS3 and No Color Management and this compares well with the SpectroProofer output (0.69/1.90). So I have confidence that CS3 is passing the data directly.
    I then printed the target again with Photoshop CS4 and No Color Management, same driver settings and get a CS3/CS4 difference of 3.22/10.25. I repeated the CS4 readings and get 3.21/10.29.
    The odd man out here is CS4. The differences between the CS3 and CS4 printouts (remember both with No Color Management) are clearly visible. GIven that the Epson 7900 drivers are brand spanking new, I'm not expecting architectural changes in the short term so I plan to stick with CS3 for profiling/printing.

    Essentially, with the newer Leopard APIs, the recommended approach is for a printer driver to register its printer profiles to the system (i.e., Leopard). That is, the driver needs to provide a default profile to Leopard so that Leopard can provide the appropriate color matching. The default profile provided usually is a function of the color mode (e.g., RGB color or black-and-white), media type, resolution, etc.
    CS4 was updated to use the newer printing APIs (a requirement moving forward) and hence relies on the driver providing the correct default profile.
    If the driver doesn't do this, then Leopard will provide its own default profile, which is obviously not the correct printing profile and will have the side effect of making prints appear too dark and possibly with a strong color cast.
    (BTW, this is exactly what was going on with some Canon iPF printers recently with many users blaming Adobe for introducing printing bugs in CS4, when the real issue was the driver not correctly providing the default profile to Leopard. The issue was resolved a couple of days ago when Canon released an updated driver.)
    The problem appears to be Leopard indeed, ironically because CS4 was
    optimized for Leopard, while early versions are not.
    The solution/workaround has worked for several users already, and it's certainly easy to implement.

  • Photoshop cs4 and cs5 and after effects 7.0

    Hello my name is mel
    My question ! I'm working with photoshop cs4 and after effects 7.0 building a web page and this going to be my first page . I got the header in and the footer also,
    the main body is going to be this avi file. after effect project that I want to run when the page opens. I want to slice up and send to DW for coding . my question is how do you slice this page up and transport it to DW.cs5 and do you have to code the avi in html and css to run when the page is open. Because as now when you run the avi in photoshop nothing elese on the page works , just the avi runs when you turn off the avi then every thing is back normal .to run the avi you have go to the video part of psd and click on the start button . any idea or any suggestion how to proceded would help
    thanks

    we were told in design school to use ps to design your site   then transport to DW to code??
    Maybe I misunderstood you.... You do the graphics in PS, that's of course what everyone does and then you code in DW, but by all means, you do not operate on the atrocious code Save for Web would spit out from PS. Trying to fix it is more trouble than starting with a blank page in DW and inserting the background and otehr images manually. And you definitely misunderstand "animation" vs. "video" After Effects is just a means to turn animation into video just as Flash is a means of creating dynamically rendered animation or interactive content. Both have their uses, but without knowing what kind of animation or video you actually need to produce, this is going nowhere. It may turn out that all you need is an animated GIF, after all... Furthermore your AE 7 is dated and does not output good H.264 or FLV directly compared to more recent versions, so this opens up yet anotehr can of worms when it comes to producing good quality web video at small file sizes... In any case, you still require a lot of reading. Too complex a topic for which nobody can provide a tippy-toe tutorial and without understanding even some basic concepts, the most beautifully designed PS grafik will end up being nothing more than a useless lump of pixels on a web server...
