Mac OS 10.7.2 and Photoshop CS4 11.0.2

New to forums, please help if you can.
I have an Apple networked user that is getting the following error when trying to launch Photoshop CS4. Other users can successfully launch Photoshop and error occurs on all networked iMacs for the 'problem' user.
We have tried to solve the problem by reseting preferences, but this did not correct the problem.
Thanks in advance!
David
Error message at launch of Photoshop:
"Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. Use the Get Infor command in the Finder to unlock the file."
I right-clicked the PS icon and chose Get Info. However, the Locked checkbox is not checked (so it is already unlocked).

Okay, I found a solution. Since it was just tied to the one network user, I knew it had to be one of the "support" files created in the User's ~/Library Folder. So, I did a little trial and error (after confirming it was indeed just Photoshop and none of the other CS4 suite apps.
Anyway, I deleted the ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings Folder. Then, when launching Photoshop this gets re-created.
So, all is well!

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.
Thanks for your trouble and regards

I'm running Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4 and can't open or import NEF files from a Nikon D600

Need help understanding why the NEF files created by my D700 work fine in both Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4, but the same file format created by a Nikon D600 keep getting a unkown error when I try to import or open them.

You can either upgrade Lightroom or use Adobe's Free DNG Converter to make a backwards-compatible file for LR 2.x to read. New camera support is only effected on current versions of LR and Adobe Camera Raw and your version(s) do not support the D600.

Keywording problem in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4

I'm experiencing a problem with keywording in Lightroom 2.4 and Photoshop CS4. When i export a batch of photos that were keyworded in LR to the desk top then open a photo in PS I find only one keyword when I look through the "file info" menu item. Any ideas on how I might resolve this problem or what I may be doing wrong.
Many thanks in advance.

Make sure that you have the keywords setup so that they will export. You can check by right clicking on a keyword in the Keyword List panel and choosing Edit Keyword Tag. The dialog shown below should open and should see a checkmark against Include on Export and Export Containing Keywords. It's fairly easy to get this wrong when working with hierarchical keywords.
Also, you can configure the Keywording panel so that it shows which keywords will be assigned when image is exported.

InDesign has Issues.
Photoshop appears to be OK but a re-installation may be necessary. Run the CS Cleaner Tools below and PS uninstaller before attempting to re-install PS CS4.

Lightroom 3.3 and Photoshop CS4

I have noticed that on my Mac that I see a slight color shift now that I have transformed images from NEF files to DNG files in Lightroom 3.3. When managing a photofile, in Lightroom then editing further in Photoshop CS4 and then sending to print (Epson 3880) I see some change in color from the Color preview to the final print. Any suggestions? Prior to adding Lightroom 3.3 to my workflow this was not an issue.

PS CS 4 uses an earlier version of ACR to render files than is used by LR (no process 2010, no lens profiles, none of the new noise reduction). You can open the RAW files into PS CS 4 using ACR in the usual way, rather than using LR, as long as the RAW file is recognised by the version of ACR you have. The advantage you have by opening and rendering using LR 3 is that the process 2010 is now available as the file is rendered by LR. If you want to use files rendered as process 2010 directly in ACR you will have to upgrade to CS 5.
Either way you loose nothing my rendering in LR, irrespective of which version of PS you use. The only difference between rendering to CS 4 from CS 5 is that the new file issaved immediately rather than on save. CS 5 allows you to not save and have no new file. You always require a rendered file for use in PS as it does not directly edit RAW formats.

Lost communication btw cs4 bridge and photoshop cs4

I cannot double click a thumb in the bridge and enter Photoshop cs4. It brings up the Microsoft viewer instead. Nothing I have tried corrects this. I can get to Photoshop cs4 through camera raw, but that means opening all jpegs and tiffs in raw. Can anyone help? Perhaps I will need to download the upgrade to cs4 again. But installing the plugins for fractals and NIK software can be a drag. I no longer have cs3, so I can't revert to it
I have Windows XP professional on a Dell, two 500 gig internal drives and a 500gig LaCie external drive
Thanks
Paul

That camera was recently supported for the first time by ACR 8.6, which needs at least CS6 to run. You will never be able to open those raw NEF files in CS4, as there will never be an update for CS4.
Your choices are to upgrade, or to use the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each and every batch of raw NEF files in order to convert them to raw DNGs that you can open in CS4.

Imac G5 and Photoshop CS4

Hello. I have an imac G5, about 3 years old. I've recently installed Adobe CS4 and found that in order to utilize all the features in Photoshop CS4 Extended, I have to update my video card. Though pretty good at using a MAC, I have no idea where to start looking and what exactly I would ask for. Can anyone help? Thanks much.

I'm afraid your options are limited to buying a new machine with a more powerful card. iMac G5s have never been expandable, with the exception of putting in a larger drive and maxing out the memory, nothing else can be changed.

Running Both PSE 7 and Photoshop CS4 Trial

Hi, I am new to this forum and would like to ask if it is possible to run both PSE 7 and PS CS4 on the same computer.
I am currently a PS Elements 7 user, and would like try the Photoshop CS 4 trial version, and possibly buy it if I decide that the added features will useful to me.
But I do not want to have to uninstall PSE 7 for this trial period.
Also if I decide to buy PS CS4 then would I be able to keep PSE7 installed also, in case for any reason I want to run it ( eg a friend might ask me a question about PSE7, then I can go and look at that issue on PSE7 on my own computer).
Also, can I run both these programs simultaneously, or is it just one at a time that is possible? That would not be a major problem as long as I could have both installed at the same time.
Any advice on the grounds rules for this, or any caveats etc would be much appreciated, thanks.

Whoa! You can't have 2 or 3 versions of the same app open & running on Windows? I find that limiting.
and Elements isn't even the same app as Photoshop.
You can run both on a Mac.
I never needed to have 2 or 3 versions of the same app open & running but I understand it's not possible on Windows.
I never owned Elements – I was just being cautious.

Please update the Camera Raw plug in using the update tool in the Photoshop help menu.
Ihave downloaded this off the net but it does not seem to solve the issue
HELP!!!

G'day Curt,
I smacked myself on the forehead when I read your reply. How could I have forgotten to do that? However, after trying that, the problem persists and more files are corrupting. I now have around ten files of around 200 in a party folder I have that have corrupted. They all were perfect several days ago.
I'm starting to get worried as I work for the local rag and have social pics this weekend to process. I can't afford to let this happen to them.
Thanks for the suggestion....

Adobe CMM and Photoshop CS4 File Info problems

I installed the Adobe Color Management Module several days ago.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
Today when I opened the File Info dialog in Photoshop CS4,I got a blank black window. Same went for the Kuler window and other extensions under the Window menu. Other panels such as the palettes and toolbox were fine.
I went through reset prefs,reinstalled PS,and reinstalled my video driver.
Same problems.
Uninstalled the Adobe CMM and the panels returned to normal.
I don't know exactly what happened,but something this forum should know about.

Chris,I downloaded and reinstalled the CMM and the problem repeated.
File Info: blank, as well as the Kuler, and Connect extensions under the Windows menu. Additionally,any custom panels installed via Configurator also went blank.(although I had uninstalled those on my first round of troubleshooting)
Again as soon as I uninstalled the CMM,I got the File Info, Kuler, and Connect windows back.
This is on a Toshiba A205-S5843 running Vista SP1
I also tried the CMM on a Toshiba A75 (Windows XP)with a trial of CS4 Extended. There were no problems on that configuration with the CMM installed.
I don't know what it is,but thought it should be passed along.

Canon CR2 RAW and PhotoShop CS4

Just got the RAW update for my Canon SX1 IS.
Neither Bridge CS4 nor PhotoShop CS4 (both fully updated) recognise the format despite CR2 being listed in the Bridge file associations for PhotoShop CS4.
In Bridge I just get a file icon.
In PhotoShop I get a 'file type not recognised' type of message.
Must I use Canon Digital Photo Profession to convert to TIF for processing in Adobe Camera Raw, or am I missing something?

Thanks for the tip Ellir. I downloaded 5.4RC last night and it didn't have support (tested) and today official 5.4 gets released with the support. I feel lucky
And to whiners, I'm just asking a question. I really feel that forums would have warmer welcoming and less elitism. But oh well.
Anyways SX1 problem solved, tested and it works. Thank you Adobe.

GPU enhancements message keeps popping up and Photoshop CS4 keeps crashing.

When I start Photoshop, I get the message, "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video adapter manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
I have updated everything but this message still pops up everytime I open Photoshop CS4. Not only that, I tried to enable the GPU enhancements via Preferences but my Photoshop keeps crashing every time I try to click or do anything.
Hope someone out there knows whats wrong! Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Just for clarification, did you download and install the video driver from the mfgr's. Web site, such as nVidia, or AMD/ATI?
The reason that I ask that, is because too often, people will let their OS tell them, if they have the latest driver. That info is usually at least 6 mos. out of date - always go to the "source," plug in your card/chip and your OS, and if there is a newer driver, download and install that.
Note: there have been a few threads on problems with newer AMD/ATI drivers, so if you have one of their cards/chips, you might want to check out some of the threads on those.
Good luck,
Hunt

Lens Correction in Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS4

I just upgraded to Lightroom 3 and make use of the lens correction feature in the develop module. After doing all my
adjustments in develop I click ctrl-E to take the photo into Photoshop so I can tweak Levels. I noticed that the lens correction adjustments do not seem to be recognized by CS4 when the photo opens up.
Do I have to upgrade to CS5 to get the lens correction adjustments in LR3 recognized or am I doing something wrong. Thanks

I am using Lightroom 3.4, x64, and Photoshop CS5 (12.0.3 x64) on Win 7 OS.
I might add that, based upon my situation, limited knowledge & experience, I have a number of images ( aprox 200), taken with the same camera/lens combination, for which I want to take advantage of what seem to me the most useful features of each software package: in this case, the ability of Lightroom to apply common "development", first in lens correction and, later at the end, miscellaneous common settings; but, in the middle rotation & crop unique to each image.
Am I missing something, for I would think my situation not uncommon?
