MS Word 2007 causes a conflict with PhotoShop CS5

When I'm creating PowerPoint presentations (which I do a lot), I have PhotoShop open to edit pictures as I go. If I open MS Word too, I cannot select anything on any of the PhotoShop menus (they do not highlight). As soon as I close Word, all is well again. I'm running Windows 7 Premium 64-bit, with 64-bit PhotoShop and 32-bit Word. The computer is a Sony Vaio with a fast Core i5 processer and 6GB of RAM, so it should be able to cope with multiple applications open at once.
I'm pretty sure this is a graphics-related problem caused by Word, since I notice that Solitaire and the other Windows games slow to a crawl when Word is open too.
Has anyone else had this specifically with PhotoShop and, if so, have you found a solution?
If you use Word and PS, please could you try and duplicate this problem?
If you have Word 2010, please could you see if it has the same problem?
Many thanks.

What's the video interface in that laptop?  Intel, perchance?  People report a lot of problems with Intel video drivers.

  • Existing Actions and Plugins Compatible with Photoshop CS5?

    I have actions and plug-in products, and while I've done everything I can to make them future-proof, I'm wondering if any Photoshop CS5 beta testers can speak to whether existing actions and plugins are generally compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Specifically:
    Are existing 32 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Are existing 64 bit Windows (PC) plugins proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    Are existing actions (both platforms) proving to be compatible with Photoshop CS5?
    I'm anxiously awaiting the go-ahead to download my copy to verify everything, but I'm just trying to get a feel for whether I'll have work to do.  I'm hoping for the level of compatibility seen in CS3 and CS4 - all my software worked perfectly with no changes.
    Thanks.

    I appreciate you all taking the time to answer, but none of you has actually said what DOES happen with your existing actions / plugins and CS5 beta.
    I know that experience with one set of actions and plugins doesn't guarantee operation with another, but if, for example, someone actually stated, "all my old plugins failed to work with CS5" or "they all seemed to work okay" then I'd have a better idea of what to expect.
    Please keep in mind I've been developing commercial actions since PS6 and plugins since CS2, and all my software works on all 32 bit versions and 64 bit CS4 on Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64, so I'm intimately familiar with what might happen and what should happen.  Plus I've programmed them to be quite resilient, and I don't expect any of the CS5 feature changes to break them.  What I don't know is whether Adobe has fundamentally altered the plugin interface this time around, or has deprecated any old filters, causing a plugin or action that used to work to fail now.  The word "rewrite" has been used to describe CS5, and that has me wondering.
    In short, I'm really looking for actual experience with the CS5 beta here.
    Wish I could get the CS5 SDK already.  I don't understdand why Adobe doesn't release that in advance.
    Thanks.

    Any ideas?

    My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

  • Why cannot I open NEF files from a Nikon D600 with Photoshop CS5?

    When I try to open raw NEF files from a Nikon D600 with Photoshop CS5 I get: "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw"
    Nikon D600, however, is among the camera models listed as compatible with Camera Raw CS5.
    I have never had any problem in Camera Raw CS5 and older versions with raw NEF files from a Nikon D80 camera.
    Is there an update for CS5 to make it compatible with Nikon D600 raw NEF files?
    Many thaks in advance.

    Which verison of camera raw do you have installed? I would update to the latest camera raw plug in. Here is a link to 6.7

  • Which iMac for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom

    Any opinions on which iMac is best for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Not sure if the 2.7 i5 with 512 graphics card is Plenty of power or if upgrading to the 3.1 i5 or 3.4 i7 is a wiser choice given the price differences. Appreciate the help

    So I was reading over your post, and even though this is older and has to do with CS5, I have some information for CS6 that will be relevant to your question now that it is time to upgade the software. In general Photoshop has always been more about RAM than Processing power, though that is important too. Until CS5 it could never quite take advantage of what multi-core processors really had to offer, and even the graphics card didn't really effect much of it outside of certain features and the 3D optio
    Now that is no longer true and Adobe can effeciently use all aspects of the computer to give you much better performance.
    So much so that I was able to buy a brand New ASUS with the following specs:
    Dual Core 2.2GHz Processors
    8GB of RAM (4GB original to the machine)
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OS
    320GB HDD w/ 5400RPM
    This machine not only runs photoshop CS6 and Launches in less than 5 Seconds... it can run Premier and After Effects as well, and this Laptop cost me less than $400 (on sale at Best Buy 2 Weeks Ago. You don't have to buy something this cheap, but isn't it great that you can and still run Master Collection effectively?

  • Contact sheet with Photoshop CS5 Windows 7

    Hello
    As I tried to make some contact sheets with Photoshop CS5, I found that this functions disappeared from the "Automatization" menu (I had it in Photoshop CS3)
    How could I do ? Is there some special "plugin" to do that ?
    I use a french version of Photoshop CS5 running on Windows 7
    Thanks   Have a good day

    Yes, do try the bridge version and also you can download the Optional plugins for cs5,
    which includes the old contact sheet II, but please READ the instructions before installing.

  • Stretched photos after editing with photoshop CS5

    When I crop a photo with photoshop CS5 and then go and review it in Iphoto the picture looks like the unedited version in the "events" but when i double click on it it appears streteched. How do I fix this?
    Also, when I edit a photo with CS5 (for ex: cool a picture if it is too warm) then go to look at it in iphoto it looks like the unedited version and once I click on the photo I can see the edited version.

    The following is how Photoshop should be used from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Can I complete level 5 with Photoshop CS5?

    Not so much a question as a bug report. In Photoshop CS5, lesson number 5 (straighten a photo) doesn't work. The mechanism works (get the ruler and choose 'straighten'), but it doesn't detect that you have completed it because the button in CS6 is named "straighten layer" rather than "straighten". Works fine with the CS6 trial. I'm user "John Hattan", email [email protected] if you need more particulars.

  • Compatibility of Camera Raw with Photoshop CS5

    Just bought a new camera (Canon T3i).  Took a scandisk full of pics in "Camera Raw".  Tried to open in Photoshop and got messsage that "Camera Raw" from my camera is not compatible with Photoshop CS5.  What can I do??

    Download the most recent version of ACR which for CS5 is ACR 6.7. (which if you had mentioned your system I could have pointed you to the download). You'll just have to find it yourself in the Adobe Updates.

  • Encore & Premiere Pro CS3 with Photoshop CS5

    Hi,
       I have the CS3 suite on Vista 32 bit. I was wondering if I can keep the Premiere Pro CS3 and Encore CS3  and only upgrade Photoshop to CS5. Has anyone had any compatibility issues using this combination? Can Encore CS3 menus be easily edited in Photoshop CS5?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum
    You cannot upgrade to a standalone program from a Suite.
    But to answer your question: yes you can edit Encore CS3 menus with Photoshop CS5.

  • I work with photoshop CS5 and the stamp is very slow. Why?

    I work with photoshop CS5 and the stamp is verry slow. Why?

    If you can afford it, go with a Crucial M4 SSD.
    If your in a limited budget, go with a Seagate Momentus XT 750GB.
    The SSD will be the fastest one and the Seagate being faster than a conventional drive.
    If you decide to go conventional, avoid the Western Digital Scorpio Blue.  They tend to have issues with Macbooks.
    Good luck

  • Droplet cannot communitcate with Photoshop CS5

    Droplet cannot communitcate with Photoshop CS5  ... that is the error.
    Win7 64-bit ,  LRv3.6 , CS5  Updated   ... Dell i7 Desktop with 24gb and SSD on OS
    The Action in CS5 works, BUT, when I create a Droplet , it does NOT work ... the EXPORT and run droplet out of LRv3.6  saves a PSD file , but then cannot communicate with CS5 to run the Action within CS5  ... in LRv3.6 I can see the newly created  PSD file but nothing is changed to it.
    I tried to drop a PSD file on it , it does not work.
    Here is the "Strange" part  ...   have the same set up on my ASUS Laptop (no SSD)  with 8gb   ...  and the Exact same Action and converted DROPLET  works!    ... when I drop a PSD file on it, it works
    I tried to move the Droplet to the Dell Desktop with the SSD but NOOOO it does not work
    Seems to be PS CS5 on my one Desktop computer cannot generate a  DROPLET that communicates with PS CS5.
    Can someone please help me?
    Thank you,

    R_Kelly,
    In Win7  ... from the start  (probably because when I made the flip to Win7 it was with i7 computers (Desk and Laptop)  I have ONLY run 64-bit.
    So, I have ONLY run 64-bit  on LR and PS CS5.
    Here's the twist , info  ... that might help other's  ... I hope.
    My i7 ASUS laptop 8gb was always  Win7 64-bit from the start ... I only had to upgrade it from Home to PRO.
    My i7 Dell Desktop 24gb tri-channel (which is where I have the issue)  weny from a Dell installed  VISTA 64-bit Home Prem, to Win7 64-bit Home Prem , to Win7 PRO  ... I "just" did a Clean install with a conversion to SSD on my OS  , so all my programs are re-installed. And things run much faster on this Desktop (but my Laptop is surprisingly fast).   note: when I re-installed , went thru the whole upgrade path, because I had a eSATA external port issue that needed (and was) to be resolved with the Dell disk.
    But, as I said ... it's working  ... not great , but working  ...  
    Learned a few things (from 3 hours tinkering)   ... on the Export to a CS5 Droplet  from LRv3.6  the first thing it does is does a save to PSD (well, given the export flow) , then it goes into PS CS5  (I normally have it open already) ... and then runs the Droplet.
    So, my BIG error is  recording the Action in CS5  with a DNG (ctrl+E from LRv3.6)  ... interesting that my Laptop did not have that issue , AND I could not use the Droplet created from my Laptop on my Desktop either.  Strange.
    Oh, I just remembered something ... On my laptop ,  I "might" have activated  Win7 's ability to run 32-bit old programs  ... it was a while ago  ... and I think you had to load that separatly , it's not automatic.  AND, I did not do that for the Desktop.  Hmmmmmm
    R_Kelly,   Thank you for the Help and Food for Thought.
