PhotoShop CS2 and PDF Presets question.

Hello,
I have installed the recent free release of Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my Win 8.1 PC.
I am creating the artwork for a CD Cover, by using a CYMK template from CD-Baby.
They require that the finished artwork be submitted to them in PDF format, using the [PDF/X-4:2008] preset.
I found that Photoshop CS2 didn't come with this preset, but after searching the web, I came across this forum whereby a user posted a link to a "JobOptions" archive file at...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16243351/joboptions.rar
... I downloaded this RAR file and found that there was a file inside called "x4;2008.joboptions"
I installed this preset by the 'EDIT/Adobe PDF Presets/' route, and it seemed to successfully install the preset.
(No errors at least).
Now when I go to save my finished project as PDF, I am given the choice of...
* [PDF/X-1a:2001]
* [PDF/X-3:2002]
* x4;2008
(this is the exact description of each preset).
My only question is, do you think the desired [PDF/X-4:2008] was correctly installed?,
I'm not sure since the naming format is not exactly the same as the first 2 presets descriptions.
Thank you.

thanks for your reply Mylenium.
is it possible that this user preset might not exactly conform to the desired preset I'm after?
is there any way I can get a genuine copy of the factory preset [PDF/X-4:2008]?
thanks.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 and it closes down every time I open it.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 and it closes down every time I open it with the following error: "Photoshop Quit Unexpectedly". Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this?

The first question is have you used this version on this computer with the operating system you have now. The issue might be (if you are on a Mac) that CS2 was a Power PC application and you have upgraded to a new computer with an Intel processor. CS2 will not work on an Intel processor with system (I think) OSX.6 or greater.
If you have used this release on this computer with the same OS, than try deleting the preferences by holding down the Comand/Control-Option-Shift keys when starting the application. You will get a message asking if you want to delete the preferences, say yes.
Let me know if any of these work.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS4 on the same system?

Hi all,
I was wondering is it possible to have both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS4 on my computer at the same time. I heard that this would cause errors, but if there is, is there a work around for it. Thanks in advance.

Quite a few people keep an older version in case there is something not right for them in the newer version.
Just make sure they are installed in that order.
Be prepared to have your file associations changed.
What is you OS by the way?

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image,

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
Thanks.

Photoshop CS2 and Windows 7

I have Photoshop CS2 and recently acquired Windows 7. I want to bring images in directly to Photoshop but the images go through Photo Gallery in Windows. I can import them into PS, but i want them to come into PS directly. Also I cannot include images with an email through Photoshop. How can I change this?
Thank you,

Did you download and install the replacement CS2 installer Adobe made available for their old CS2 customers?
I want to bring images in directly to Photoshop but the images go through Photo Gallery in Windows.
This behavior is most likely happening when you connect you camera to your Windows system or Plug you Camera media card into your Window's card reader because the autoplay is set to open Windows Photo Gallery. You need to change the default but though I have CS2, CS6, CC an CC 2014 installed the only Adobe Autoplay options I see is Bridge CS6 and Bridge CC do not see Bridge or CS2
Also I cannot include images with an email through Photoshop. How can I change this?
What email application are you using that can use applications like Photoshop.

I upgraded to lion when it first came out but today i tried to open my photoshop cs2 and its telling me the powerpc applications are no longer supported is there any fix out there for this

i upgraded to lion when it first came out but today i tried to open my photoshop cs2 and its telling me the powerpc applications are no longer supported is there any fix out there for this

Lion is Not compatible with PPC (Power PC) based software, such as your older version of PhotoShop. Your choices are you can either upgrade to the newer version of PhotoShop, or you can backup your data and apps, erase your harddrive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
Hope this helps

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download.

I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer. I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4. They are both registered in my name. I need help doing a download. I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers. I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect. I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own. One is operational and one is dead. I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

For CS2 you will need to download a special new version
CS2 Activation
You might find CS4 download here

I am reloading Photoshop CS2 and I can't get it activated. How is this to be done?

The activation servers are retired and so your old CS2 copy and serial number no longer work.
Adobe has non-activated Photoshop CS2 and a new serial number to go with it only for CS-CS2 owners.

Using LR2 w/ Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.7

I am using Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.7 on a Mac G4, OS X 10.4.11.
I am about to install my upgrade to Lightroom 2. Is this a bad idea?
I have read about some compatibility issues re Camera Raw, and I have also read about how to solve the issue of exporting the keywords.
Will this keyword issue fix work on my system?
What are the real-world practical implications of still having Camera Raw 3.7? I usually adjust images in Lightroom, then any further adjustment is done in Photoshop (not CR). So is the only downside going to be that if I revisit the image in Camera Raw, the adjustments will not show up? Or will it also not show up in Bridge?? And if it is only in CR, is it that the image does not have the adjustments; or does it show the adjusted image, but has just all the sliders zeroed out?
I am hot to install LR2, but I want to make sure that I am not going to open a can of worms. And yes, I could buy PS CS4 (which would get me CR 4.5), and I would like to, but I don't have a G5. And I cannot afford to buy a new desktop computer right now.
Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Dean Abramson

>so is the LR version of RAW as good as the one in CS3?
It's far better as it has local adjustments and such. Lightroom is more equivalent to the ACR in CS4. To make changes you make to images in ACR outside Lightroom show up in Lightroom, you need to sync the metadata. ACR does not write the changes to RAW images to the Lightroom database, but it writes it into xmp sidecars either right next to the RAW file or embedded into it. So Lightroom has no idea you did anything until you specifically ask it to check for updated metadata.
Note that trying to work with both bridge/ACR and Lightroom on the same set of data will inevitably make you lose data or edits at some point as you're dealing with a synchronization issue, so be careful.

Comparing Photoshop CS2 and Elements 4.0

[If this has already been addressed in this forum, I apologize in advance, but I haven't seen it, at least not addressing the questions below. I also apologize to those who read this on both the Photoshop and the Elements sites.]
For years I've been taking point-and-shoot digital pictures and processing them through one or another photo software doing nothing more than removing red-eye and cropping. I've recently decided to take up digital photography as a hobby and plan to buy a good digital SLR as well as good photoprinter. My method has been to read before buying (and to ask questions on sites such as this one). When I finally start shooting and editing, I want to learn software that I'll stick with, rather than have to relearn, and although I don't have to watch every penny, I don't want to waste money. So here's my question? Should I start with Elements 4.0 or go right to CS2. I may never need CS2, as I'm not planning a career or even a full-time avocation, but I might. So here's the sort of thing I'm confident I will want to do: manipulate RAW photos before processing them in Photoshop; work on differentially changing the exposures within a photo (e.g., adjusting the brightness of the foreground and background differentially, as I've seen talked about in some articles); if I get lucky enough to produce a worthwhile image, enlarge it (using Genuine Fractal's or the like) to make a frame-size print; these are just examples. My understanding is that all of this is possible in Elements, but may be easier in CS2. Also, there may be more advanced features that I'll want to use in CS2 but don't don't yet recognize. Finally, cutting the other way, I don't plan to abandon the point-and-shoot red-eye elimination (and skin tone correction) process for snapshots of the kids to post and send to family etc. So I would welcome any advice on whether I should start with Elements (and maybe stay there forever), go right to CS2, or get both using Elements for snapshots and CS2 for hobby work. (By the way, I've checked the Adobe site, which offers a comparison chart, but it was too imprecise to be useful.)
Thanks in advance.

I'm a year and a half into pse3. My wife gave it to me shortly after I bought a G6, my first digicam. I am still learning all the features of the G6 (after using Olympus OM 2N for years), so learning the camera and software keeps me going.
As to PSE I find it an incredible piece of software that continues to amaze me with so many features to tweak photos. I have bought 3 books; Barb's Missing Manual, Scott Kelby's book and PSE for Dummies. I find that as I shoot more photos and re-read these books as well as the forums I keep coming up with ideas to tackle.
I am retired so I have lots of time to fiddle (but I have lots of other stuff on the go). I'm now just getting into understanding adjustment layers (although I have been using them without getting in to what is actually happening)and I have been importing a few PS actions into PSE (although I think you cannot do this with PSE4)
Every once and a while I think about PS CS2; I could see myself getting it but there's no hurry as there's still lots to learn in pse and the results I get continue to bring on new and better results.
The idea of buyinhg a tablet is a good one if you get PSE with it and you can use a tablet right off the bat. I'm also looking at tablets but to get it at the front end along with the G6 and PSE would have been too overwhelming for me....not to mention being stuck behind a computer for 25 hours/day
You will also find a ton of resources on the web for PSE, enough to keep you happy for a long time.
I am told that CS2 has a much steeper learning curve, but if you run with PSE first much of it is applicable
And then there are stand a lone shows for slides such as ProShow which goes beyond the slideshow in PSE. ProShow together with PSE is awesome.
Happy hunting

Photoshop cs2 and rosetta

I can not find the box in "Photoshop CS2" in order to open in rosetta. In fact none of my apps info table seem to have the "open app in rosetta" box.
I am really having trouble with Photoshop. I've uninstalled, repaired disk, reinstalled still get the message to "One or more files in Adobe Application Support folder, necrssary for running Photoshop, are missing. etc" If i continue I get some message about cannot complete request. I need help
imac intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I think that it will work, there are several items
that they don't include in the upgrade to stop people
from just buying the upgrade and running it as a full
program.
While I can't say it with absolute certainty about the Photoshop CS2 installer, this hasn't been the case with Adobe's apps for quite a while now. You shouldn't have to have Photoshop installed on your computer in order to install the upgrade version. If you didn't have the previous version installed, you'd just have to supply the install disc for the old version when the installer asked for it.
But I'll be able to test it for sure this week for sure when I install the whole Creative Suite 2 on an Intel iMac.

HELP: I was told to uninstall my photoshop cs2 and now I can't reinstall it- also cannot access my adobe account and there is NO CS in the US anymore.

I was told to uninstall my photoshop cs2. My macbook pro went in for repair and I had to restore it from a backup, after which I got this error message when trying to use photoshop: licensing for this product has stopped working: restart computer and try again blah blah blah error code 150:30. I stupidily uninstalled the program at the advice of someone in adobe CS in India and now I can't get it to reinstall. Can anyone please help me? I'm not interested in purchasing a newer versioin of adobe cs photoshop or cloud or ANY of that. I'm quite happy with this one, I just want it back on my laptop. I also run this on my desktop. I also wasn't able to log into my original account due to being told I had to change my password. An email was sent to the email associated with that account but I no longer have access to that email. I'm VERY DISSAPOINTED WITH ADOBE AND THEIR LOUSY SUPPORT. We spend hundreds and this is the support we get???
I oringinalyspent around $4-500 on this program and I would like someone to tell me how to get this back up and running without licensing issues and spending thousands more please. The original CS agent I spoke with after waiting on hold for over 1/2 hour was immediately rude to me and told me I was tyring to understand something, when in actuality he was not listening to a word I told him about my issues. I'm beyond disappointed, I'm DISGUSTED. I really wish I hadn't uninstalled this because I now fear, as I suspected, that I may never be able to get it back and I will be FORCED to spend more money. This is ridiculous. I wish I had never sent my laptop out for repair. I took them several days to figure out that bulb and some wires were damaged and there was no real reason to wipe my whole computer. I wouldn't be dealing with any of this if I hadn't and the original problem is still there, when I open the laptop, the screen blanks out and it takes a minute or so to start functioning, but that is another matter.
I have tried to access the 24 hour chat again but that is not working anymore either.
Can someone please help me? Thanks!

you have a ps cs4 license for mac and you have some way of finding your serial number.
if yes, download an install the installation file. if you already have the installation file, what is its name and file extension? (eg, if it's one file, it should be a dmg file.)

Photoshop CS2 and windows issues! help!

Hi, I'm working with someone who is having issues with Adobe Photoshop CS2 among other Adobe problems. The problem is that after Photoshop is loaded, the interface is very messed up. You can't open a file because if you go to menu -> file nothing happens. If you try to create something new, most of the buttons will be invisible in the option for sizes. The program simply becomes unusable. After a restart, the program will work properly for a short period of time and being to behave oddly again. On loading Photoshop, windows gives an error beep but the program loads anyways and no error window comes up. This happens on illustrator as well as indesign. I have uninstalled everything and removed all shared files that adobe uses and reinstalled everything from scratch, the same problem happens. This only started happening recently.
OS is XP pro SP3.
I am about to wipe the computer and start from scratch but I would rather not have to do this if there is another solution!
Please help! Thank you!

No, it's a standard U.S. keyboard and the language is set to english. I believe the software is up to date.
It doesn't freeze when you click on the menu, it just refuses to pop open a window when you try to open a file. Also, many of the option boxes in some of the windows in photoshop are invisible. This only happens after the computer has been on for a short while. Right after a reboot, you can open photoshop fine... until it stops working.

Photoshop CS2 and Windows Vista 64 bit

I have just loaded Photoshop CS2 onto my new laptop which has Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit as its OS.
All working well except I notice that,when I made adjustments to a layer (for example,using curves to colour adjust,or even just brighten midtones),it takes a long time for any change to take place to the values of colour sample points which I may have applied to the background layer.
I usually place four colour sample points on my background image to monitor changes as I make adjustments. When I used Photoshop CS2 on my previous laptop which had Windows XP as its OS,changes were instant.
I have the cache level set at 6 in Preferences with 70% available RAM set.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Ian

A couple more ideas:
Make sure CS2 is fully updated. In Vista, turn the Aero interface on and off to see if it makes a difference.
Try the old standby of resetting preferences, as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.
