Photoshop 7 installation

tried to install Photoshop 7 on a recently bought Imac with OS X 10.6.2 which is not working. Is this currently possible or are they incompatible?

Any suggestions?
Try Pixelmator, it might do everything your son needs to do, and for a lot less money.

Even cheaper than that, as in free, is the Gimp. Unfortunately it is not at all a Mac-like program, and the way things work isn't like Photoshop either, so if one's habits are really set it can be hard to learn. But it does lots of stuff, and, well, it's free.

Unless your son is involved in professional pre-press work, it is very likely he doesn't NEED the full version of Photoshop. He can probably do everything needed using Photoshop Elements. It costs about 100 bucks, you should be able to find it cheaper if you shop around.

  • Creative Cloud Creative Cloud Photoshop installs but will not launch

    Hi, my Creative Cloud Photoshop latest version installs but will not launch. When I try it opens a page with a long error code report. I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop several times with the same result. I downloaded and tried the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, as I found as a solution in the help forum, but since I uninstalled Photoshop before I ran the Cleaner Tool there are installed applications, and AdobeCreativeCloudDriver. Should I hit the clean all CS6 button at the bottom of the window. There is nothing including Photoshop in this list.

    You will have to provide system info and the exact errors. Nobody can help based on vague "This doesn't work" posts.

  • Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop

    Hi!
    I just upgraded to PS CS% from PS CS3 Extended. Download went well as well as installation.
    After, i deactivate CS3 then i uninstall it using Adobe installer.
    Each time, i opened CS5, i have the following message:
    "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop."
    I reinstalled it but i'm still having the same message. I didn't play much with it but it seems to work properly...
    What could it be?
    Regards!

    The problem most likely is uninstalling an older version after installing the new one.
    The Uninstaller removes certain support files which it can't tell are the new ones.
    The solution in your case is to uninstall CS5 first, then uninstall CS3, run the Adobe CSClean Script, Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, only then install CS5, and the Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility again.
    All Adobe upgrades are full installers and do not need to find a previous version of the software installed.  When they don't find a previous version of the software installed, they'll just prompt you for the old serial number.
    It's not mandatory to uninstall older versions, but if you don't want to keep the older versions, uninstall them first, before installing a newer version.  I have all versions of Photoshop from 7.0.1 through 11.0.2 ("CS4") happily coexisting on my machine.  I can even run two versions of Photoshop simultaneously, just by launching the older version first and assigning separate scratch disk volumes to each.

  • Just updated CC 2014, Photoshop launches with message to run Photoshop Installer: where is this?

    On updating Photoshop CC 2014 and launching I get a dialog, "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for sunning Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and reinstall Photoshop."
    Where is Photoshop Installer?
    This update also wiped all my extensions without warning, not so cool Adobe.

    Sometimes uninstalling old versions can take out common files. I uninstalled CS4 only to get errors with CS6. I had to reinstall CS6 to get rid of the errors.
    In any case you may want to keep/install CC for a while. The extensions technology has changed and what ran in CC, won't in CC 2014.
    If you depend on your legacy extensions, at least you want to hold on to CC until they are updated. And of course if any glitches show up in 2014.2 and future updates, you may want CC as a backup until it's corrected.
    I may have missed some details, so these links should help you.

  • CS5.1 overrides CS5 registry entries, how do I get the photoshop installation location safely?

    Hi there,
    I'm creating a installer for my Photoshop plugins, so I need to find out Photoshop installation directory. I did this by looking for registry 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\', but I found that CS5.1 will override the CS5 registry entries - they are both in ’HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0‘
    So how can I distinguish CS5 and CS5.1 in the registry? Or how can I get the correct installation direcotry for both CS5.1 and CS5?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    You can't on Windows. On Mac they did the right thing and made a seperate .paths files. On Windows they just tromped on the CS5 registry entries with the CS5.1 entries, even though it's a completely seperate application installation with its own plugin path. Not too cool.
    Although, it only matters if you encounter the probably rare corner case where a user has both CS5 and CS5.1 installed AND wants to put the plugins into the CS5 plugin path. We just punted and can only install into CS5.1 in that case, unless the user manually selects the installation location. It hasn't generated any significant support issues for us that I know of.

  • Photoshop installation affects MS Access bitmap handling

    I have a problem, after installation of Photoshop CS5 in Windows, MS Access (I tried on Windows 7 and XP) does not longer show embedded bitmaps in database forms. Access can show only BMP files, so Photoshop installation somehow interferes with MS Office handling of this format. After deinstallation, everything returns to normal behaviour. The only workaround I came up is to backup Windows registry before Photoshop installation, then install it, and restore registry from backup afterwards. However, it removes all Photoshop's associations and stuff which is in registry. I wonder if anyone had the same problem, and if there are any solutions?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I wonder if this in not just a simple file association issue. As PS can handle BMP's, it might change the File Type Association (Control Panel>Folder Options>File Type), and if one goes there, and re-assigns the File Type Association back to MS Access, whether it would work, as before?
    I'd reinstall PS, and then change the BMP File Type Association to MS Access, and test.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • CS4 Photoshop Installer Hangs

    When I try installing Adobe Photoshop, the installer will pop the setup for a second or two, close it and continue system checking at 80%. Ive tried all the things the said on the Knowledge Base, and still cant get it to work ( This page to be precise http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407428.html ) It Shows in Add/Remove that Photoshop is installed, yet if I hit the button to remove it, it Crashes the setup. I Have also tried Multiple Downloads, which futilely changed nothing.

    The Photoshop installer has always been garbage. You didn't post your operating system so try this:
    Turn off any anti-virus and windows defender.
    If you have Adobe reader installed remove it.
    Defrag the hard drive before install. I would run defrag again after install.
    If you DON'T have Vista SP2 installed or Windows 7: Download and install the windows installer 4.5 as it fixed many software install issues.
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f 9f4&displaylang=en
    Now is CS4 a trial downloaded from the Adobe site? If so then there is nothing you can do.
    If you have downloaded the paid version off the adobe website put the whole folder on the desktop and run the .exe file, in the folder, as Admin.
    If you have purchased a PS CS4 CD put the disk in the DVD drive and let it start but don't run the software. Close out of it. what you want to try is go to your computer and find the DVD drive and open or explore. Look for the .exe file, right click on that and choose run as administrator.
    When you get it installed remember to run the software as Admin too. also remember to update the software to 11.0.1
    If the software is installed messed up you need to run the CS4 cleaner. don't run it as 1 or 2 level, type in level 3.
    also search your hard drive for any remaining adobe folders and remove them.
    Also run the MS installer cleanup utility:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    You can run a free software program called CCleaner. I use it all the time to clean out left over crapola.

  • Problem with CS5 Photoshop Installer

    I'm having trouble installing the latest CS5 photoshop.  I work for a university that receives a licensed copy of the CS5 software that we then distribute to all the students.  To make this possible we take the original installer, put it through the AAMEE to license it, put it in a disk image, put it up on our software server and students can then download it and install it through an application that we have written.  The application works like this.  The students launch the application, the application grabs the installers they select from a list and installs the ones selected.  In order for the Adobe installers to work we have to take the installer, license it and put it in our own image.  The problem comes with putting the licensed installed in a different disk image.  After it's licensed it installs just fine, but when I put it in a disk image, mount the disk image and try to install it, the installation fails.  I'm trying to figure out why the different disk image is causing it to fail, when it works in the original disk image.

    Here are the links for downloading.

  • Photoshop Installation problems

    I recently downloaded the Security Updates for Leopard last week and Photoshop would crash at launch. So I decided to reinstall Photoshop. Installation goes fine. I go to launch PS and I get an error stating "Licensing for this product has stopped working.
    You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contacting you IT administrator or Adobe Customer Support for help."
    After doing this 10 or so times I getting a little irritated. I ran the CS3 Clean several times until it told me it didn't delete anything anymore. So I turn to you guys for guidance and appreciate any help you can give.

    That fixed it. Thanks for the help

  • Photoshop Installation Failed message

    Problem resolved for Photoshop CS6!  I downloaded the file directly from website instead of my desktop Applications Manager.  However, it did ask me how I wanted to open the file and I indicated the Applications Manager.  Photoshop CS6 is now up and running!
