Open ECW files in Adobe Photoshop CS4

Hallo     
Is it possible to open ECW(Enhanced Compressed Wavelet) files in to Photoshop CS4?
Kind regards.
Daniel Scholten

The best way I have found is to
convert the .ECW file to .TIFF using Irfanview (freeware).  It's a Windows-only product though.

  • Can't open NEF files in Adobe Bridge CS4

    My camera is a Nikon D90 and I downloaded the Camera Raw.plugin Version 5.2. to open NEF files in Photoshop and Bridge from the CS4 collection. It works perfectly to open NEF files in Photohop but Bridge is not able to show the files. I cleared the cache already.
    Does anybody know, what the problem could be?
    Thanks for your help!

    Maybe the plugin is in the wrong folder? It should be in the Common Files/Adobe folder tree, rather than the Adobe/Photoshop CS4 folder tree (where only Photoshop can see it). Also, make sure there's only one Camera Raw.8bi installed.

  • Unable to open RAW files after reinstalling Photoshop CS4

    I recently did a system recovery to my computer due to downgrading to Windows 7; however, after I installed Design Premium back to my PC, I am not able to open RAW files in Photoshop. It prompted "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I tried to check for Photoshop updates but no updates are available. I tried re-installing Design Premium but the issue still persists.
    My system configuration is as follows:
    Windows 7 Professional x64 (Yet to install Service Pack 1, but I don't think that really matters)
    Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium (Photoshop Version 11.0)
    Canon EOS 50D (Firmware Version 1.08)
    Anyone may have a clue on how to fix that? Thanks a lot!
    Screenshot as follows:

    When you reinstalled CS4, you  went back to the original release.
    Now you must apply all the updates to Photoshop and to  Adobe Camera Raw manually.
    You cannot rely on the Adobe auto updater to tell you that you are up to date.  That updater was broken for years and years, and that was and is certainly the case with CS4.
    Adobe didn't get their updater act together until CS6.
    You also have to update the ACR plug-in manually.

  • Can't open raw files in Adobe Bridge CS4

    First of all, I use a macbook pro that runs on Leopard.  My camera is 5d Mark ii.  I have photoshop elements 8 for mac, but I love to use Adobe Bridge CS4 for basic editing.  Here is my problem, it won't let me open raw mode to edit.  I have tried the updates photoshop gives on their site, but no luck.  I still can't open them.  Please help me!

    If you just go to Help>Updates, Bridge should take care of this for you, unless you've managed to get multiple copies of the plug-in into the folder. If you manually installed things, check to see that there is only one plug-in there, then let Bridge do it for you.

  • I can't open *.indd files in Adobe InDesign CS4

    I've just installed the trial version of Adobe Indesign CS4 and I cannot open my *.indd files which contain my business brochures etc.
    How can they be opened?
    Operating system:  Windows XP pro SP3.
    Processor: Intel E8400, Gigabyte P35 Chipset with 4Gb RAM.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi, I've tried double clicking as one would normally do and I get the error message:
    Cannot open "filename.indd"
    The files were created in Adobe InDesign by a company that specialises in brochure design and they kindly gave me the files they originally created (to be printed by a professional printer) so that I could make some minor modifications (for the next run from the professional printer), using my trial copy of Adobe InDesign.
    I know that this company uses a Mac operating system but I don't know which version of InDesign they use. I shall ask them if this is relevant (which I guess it will be!).

  • I'm trying to process RAW file images from my SanDisk memory card on Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and am unable to do so. Which level Adobe Photoshop do I need to process SanDisk images?

    I'm trying to process RAW images from my new SanDisk Ultra memory card and unable to do so. I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, is this the right one or do I need to update?

    …and you absolutely have to specify the camera model that generated those raw image files.
    2.—There's no such thing as "SanDisk images"

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4  runnig error - cant  load files

    hi,
    ive first time installed adobe cs software in my pc. i have never used this software before nor its previous version.
    when i try to run adobe photoshop cs4 - it gives me error after loading for few things that "A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue, please re-install the application"
    ive re installed the application several times but that same error continues.
    any help will b welcomed
    thank you

    OK. This error drove me nuts and I have seen a thousand different "solutions" posted on various forums (none of which actually worked), but I think I found the magic bullet for this problem. This appears to be a result of corrupted/missing language pack files. Here's what I did to resolve it once and for all!
    You should already have a folder somewhere with the contents/Setup.exe for CS4 Design Premium
    Download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
    Unpack the contents to a folder/directory somewhere on your PC
    You will NOT be installing the Photoshop CS4 Extended application - only copying some files.
    Copy the "extensions" folder from Photoshop CS4 Extended, that you just downloaded to your CS4 Design Premium folder (there should be an "extensions" folder already there as well)
    Select yes if prompted to replace existing files/folders.
    Double-click the Setup.exe in your CS4 Design Premium directory and re-start the installation of Photoshop from there.
    Problem should be solved.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 won't open in Yosemite. Anything I can do about this?

    After installing Yosemite I was told that in order "To open Adobe Photoshop CS4 you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.
    Unfortunately I was also told that I needed to upgrade to Java 8 update 25...which I did thinking it would also resolve the Photoshop issue.
    Silly me!
    It probably made things worse as far as the possibility of opening Photoshop CS4.
    Now what do I do?
    I don't want to go back to Java 6. Are there any other options?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Rikk. Now the problem is installing legacy.
    Every time I select the "install" option I get a blank screen.
    I've been reading other posts about this and it may have something to do with Safari.
    I'll try another browser and see what happens

    I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 and have just upgraded my Mac operating system to Yosemite with the newest version of Java 2014 running. When I try to access Photoshop from Bridge or directly open it asks for a Legacy Version of Java 6. As I am a pensioner I cannot afford an upgrade does anyone know of a work-around for this problem?

    Hi Daddyfred,
    CS4 Photoshop has not been tested on Yosemite. But still you can try the Java 6 update using the below link.

  • Is there a possibility to open a EPS-File within Adobe Photoshop Elements 11?

  • To open "Adobe Photoshop CS4" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.

    I have updated my system to Yosemite and when I try to open Adobe CS$ i get this message. To open “Adobe Photoshop CS4” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.  I have followed the links and installed Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005.
    When I again try to open CS4 I get the  same message To open “Adobe Photoshop CS4” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.
    Can anyone assist please?
    Thanks Colin

    you may need to uninstall CS then reboot, try to see if it allows you to update your JAVA
    APPLE'S JAVA
    Java for OS X 2014-001
    SUN MICROSYSTEMS JAVA
    http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_install.xml
    then reinstall CS4
    I ran into something similar with CS6 where it needed to come off and go back on
    technically CS4 is not supported by Adobe and reported to be problematic with Yosemite.

  • Can't view raw files in Adobe Bridge CS4

    Hi,
    I bought a new iMac OS X version 10.8.5 . I have a Canon 5d Mark ii and I shoot in RAW. I installed CS4.. I also downloaded the newest version of the camera raw plug-in (5.7). I placed the plug-in in applications--> adobe photoshop CS4 -->plug-ins--> file formats.
    In Bridge, I can only view the grey thumbnail that says CR2. I can click on it and it'll open up into camera raw where I can edit some and then open it into photoshop. I want to be able to view the images in bridge to know which ones I want to open up in camera raw. Also, when I right click on the thumbnail there isn't an option that says "open in camera raw".
    Should I also place the camera raw plug-in in the applications-->Adobe Bridge-->plug-ins?
    When I click on about plug-ins on photoshop, it's showing me 2 camera raw plug-ins.. version 5.0 and version 5.7. I can't find 5.0 to delete?
    Thanks

    If you just go to Help>Updates, Bridge should take care of this for you, unless you've managed to get multiple copies of the plug-in into the folder. If you manually installed things, check to see that there is only one plug-in there, then let Bridge do it for you.

  • Problem installing Adobe Photoshop CS4. Please help me.

    Hi Geeks,
    I am stuck with Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) installation since last two days. I am desperately looking for help to get rid of this problem.
    My Problem:
    At the end of installation of Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) i was prompted with en error
    message stating some of the components were not installed.  When I check the more information button provided in the error message window, it showed below error.
    “Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.”
    Still I could find the installed Photoshop in C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe
    When I executed above file; application showed below error message and close it.
    “Some of the application components are missing from the application directory, Please reinstall the application.”
    I just try to run Adobe Device Central CS4 which was installed along with it.  It showed below error message.
    “The Localized resource files for this application could not be loaded. Please reinstall or repair the application and try again.”
    So My Problem is I am unable to open Photoshop CS4 after its unsuccessful installation.
    I spent more than a day in different ways as I explained below in more info section.  I am desperately looking for helping hands to fix this problem.
    I ever find this kind of difficulty with any other components installation in my 10 years of development experience.  Please help me.
    More info:
    (1) I have downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Trial) in this month (July 09) from adobe official site.
    (2) My PC OS Windows XP SP3.
    (3) Prior to install Photoshop CS4 I had Acrobat reader 8 and Adobe DW CS4.
    (4) After I read some stuff on net, I downloaded both Windows install Clean up and CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe.
    (5) First I uninstalled all DW CS4 and Photoshop CS4 using add/remove then rebooted.
        then ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe (which really did not removed as it did not
        find any Adobe component), then installed Photoshop CS4. No luck. same error.
    (6) This time I ran CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility.exe and removed DW CS4, Photoshop CS4 and flash and rebooted. Then I ran Photoshop CS4 as Administrator. Same thing repeated at the end of installation and when I tried to open the photoshop.  Finding a real hard time with it.
    Any kind of help to get rid of this problem would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    R Sunil.

    PS CS4 software itself has to be installed as Admin. Put the downloaded folder on the desktop (if not there already). Open the folder and right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin.
    Install on C drive is the best stable choice.
    Before you do all this make the anti-virus is turned off. If windows defender is running turn that off too. If Adobe reader is installed renove that. Ensure no other adobe products are running in the background.
    During install the process will hang at 90 percent for about 10 to 15 mins. This is normal.
    After the software is installed reboot computer.
    After reboot go to start, All Programs and right click on PS CS4. Click on properties, Compatibility and check run as Admin. Hit Apply and OK to close. Run PS CS4 and update to 11.0.1
    Be Advised:
    Now the biggest problem you might run into is that the trial install went too far and failed. If this happened you cannot re-install PS CS4 trial because of the DRM that is hidden in the registry hive. The hidden DRM prevents people from installing the trial more then once and limits the trial at 30 days. There is nothing you can do other then nuking the hard drive and a fresh install of your operating system.
