Just upgraded from windows cs3 to mac cs4 - preferences, fonts, etc to cs4?

could someone explain how to make the mac CS4 work like the windows CS3 - thanks in advance

"... the first step should probably be to save and transfer any customized
presets like Brushes, Gradients, Patterns, Styles, Actions, … to the
new machine and store them in the appropriate Presets-folders."
I did exactly that, and the only trouble I had was that some of my older brushes no longer worked. When I moved from CS3 to CS 4 it was in both formats, and I literally use the same brushes, custom shapes, gradients, and actions in OS X and Windows Vista. The only difference between the two is that on the Mac, my brush list (about 900 or so) loads in a single scrolable column. In Windows, it loads in row after row until it runs out of screen about the time it gets to the M's and I have to manually load anything beyond that. Which is why I prefer to do my photoshopping on the Mac.

  • Cross upgrade Windows CS3 to Mac CS4.

    Hello,
    I am new in this forum.
    I want to upgrade my old Window CS3 to Mac CS4. Does anybody here had this kind of upgrade? If yes. How long did take you to get the upgrade from the customer service?

    I have a good friend who wanted to crossgrade Adobe's applications from Windows to Mac. Here's a quote:
    Our senior editor, Kathleen, has been trying to do a platform change/upgrade request on our CS3 Production Bundle since APRIL, and has been getting nothing but a runaround from the published customer service entities. Two case numbers, 8 phone calls, promised call backs from supervisors that never appear, lost faxes, the eternal circle of handoffs (you need to talk to sales/no, sales can't help you, please talk to customer service/wash, rinse, repeat) --- you name it, and not one helpful person in the mix. It's been two and one half months. Meantime, they have our shipping money and we have an outdated bundle for the incorrect platform for our current needs.
    Honestly, I'm not inclined to bash a company's support without being given good reason, but this has to be one of the most frustrating experiences I've seen with any tech company, anytime. In my editing career I've never had to make a posting like this. Can anyone point us in a better direction, or if you have a contact behind the "hold-music curtain", forward them this email.
    This was published on June 29th, 2009.
    Here was the solution, which was posted July 9th, 2009:
    Longtime list friend L. W. had the best suggestion though -- he forwarded my complaint to his friend Simon, a top executive in charge of video/film (dynamic) media applications at Adobe. I'm happy to say that the attitude towards customer service at this level is excellent, and within hours Simon initiated a review of our case which resulted in our getting the long-promised software yesterday -- and this case has started a dialogue within the company to avoid problems like this in the future. I think this proactive approach to accountability at the highest levels says good things about Adobe for the future. Thank you, Simon. The business world needs many more like you.
    Apparently Simon was not able to make any real changes inside the Adobe Support bureaucracy...

  • I have just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 then reinstalled the CS4 I had previously paid for (including the unique code number).  Now I get an error message that says "Licencing has stopped working".

    I have just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and then reinstalled CS4 (purchased a couple of years back and paid for) then input the unique code number.  Now I get an error msg that says "Licencing has stopped working".  What do I need to do?

    As long as it's the same version of Lightroom, your old key will work.

  • Upgrade from windows version to mac

    Can I upgrade from elements 7 for windows to elements 13 for Mac? I have a OS X 10.9.4

    Yes, it doesn't matter which platform the old version was on when it comes to upgrade pricing.

  • How can I just modify (from "Windows" version to "Mac") my purchased software?

    I've already purchased the Adobe Premiere Elements 13 in the wrong version: I need it for Mac and I've ordered the Windows version. How can I modify it?
    Thank you in advance,
    Jose Luís

    Thanks Ned, but the moment I bought it I did it wrong and when they offerded me to choose one version I picked up "Windows" instead of "Mac" by mistake... now I can't find the way to modify it.

  • Can't get motion Tween to work - just upgraded from a previous version to CS4

    I am attempting to create a motion tween between two keyframes.  The image is the same...the first keyframe has the image set to an alpha of 0 and the second keyframe some 20 frames down the timeline is set to an alpha of 100%.  The keyframes are on the same layer.  The image has been transformed to a symbol.  Yet when I double click between the two keyframes and create the motion tween so the image will fade from 0 to full view at 100% nothing happens.  I don't see the familiar arrow that normally indicates a motion tween between the two keyframes.  I've created this transformation a thousand times before but don't understand what is different in CS4 that isn't creating the tween.  When I double click on a frame in between the two keyframes it indicates I can remove motion tween so, it makes me believe the motion tweening has been set but, it isn't.
    I am quite frustrated and don't understand if I haven't set something in the preferences so the tweening will work or just what is going on.
    Help!

    And here's the article that was written specifically to update your skills with all the changes between the earlier tweening and new tweens in CS4:

  • Upgrading from windows version to Mac

    I have Creative Suites 5.5 Master Collection and would like to get the Mac version. How do I go about switching?

    You have to order CS6 and make the switch. Platform swaps only apply to the latest current version (outside of CC, that is).

  • Please help:  I've just switched from Windows

    Dear Board,
    I've just switched from Windows (purchased a Mac Pro for audio work) and I keep trying to right click the mouse for extra features like...(save, save as, open in new window, close) and none of these options seem to be available except as key commands.
    Can someone instruct me on how to do this, if it is possible?
    Thanks,

    Hi, B3.
    1. If you have a two-button mouse, then Mac OS X should recognize the right-click to display the contextual menu for an object. However, some third-party mice, e.g. Microsoft Intellimouse, etc. may require you download and install the Mac drivers for such.
    2. What mouse are you using?
    3. If right-click isn't working, you press and hold the Control key, then click with mouse button 1 (left mouse button by default). Then release the Control key.
    4. There are fewer contextual menu choices in Mac OS X than in Windows, but I'd also not run out and download all sorts of third-party contextual menu items willy-nilly as these can be problematic.
    5. Since you just switched from Windows:• When looking for new applications, I recommend searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.
    • My "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ has a number of resources that you will find helpful including books, online training, switching from Windows to Mac, and more.Good luck!

  • I just upgraded from PS cs4 to cs6. All of my files open up viewing at .0625% - which is very irrita

    I just upgraded from PS cs4 to cs6. All of my files open up viewing at .0625% - which is very irritating. How can I change this?

    Are you on a Mac or PC?  If the former, do you have the Application Frame visible?
    Could you post a screenshot of how Photoshop CS6 looks when you first open an image and have it show at the tiny size?
    Chances are you've made the main Photoshop window small, which is causing it to try to fit a newly opened image in too small a space.
    I'm going to make a wild guess that you're on a Mac, and have dragged the bottom edge of the Photoshop window up instead of turning off the Application Frame, so as to be able to see your desktop.
