Photoshop CS2 trial

Ok, so I have tried downloading Adobe's trial version of Photoshop cs2 because it would be a lot more convenient to have a copy on my computer rather than walking to the library any time I need photoshop. Anyway after the file has downloaded and I try and actually install Photoshop it pops up with an error message saying the installation has failed. I have tried several different things and nothing has worked(redownloading, restartign the computer...) Does anyone no why this is and if there is a remedy?
I don't want to invest in an actual copy of cs2 because cs3 will be out soon enough and my graphic design courses don't really require that I have photoshop yet, it would just be nice.

oh and I have successfully downloaded a trial version of Illustrator and had no problems.

  • Photoshop CS2 trial to full lic - impact on LR

    Hi,
    Here are what I have installed in this order:
    - Expired trial Photoshop CS2
    - Lightroom (CS2 already expired when I install LR)
    I am going to reinstall a full license Photostop CS2 soon, would this have an impact on my existing LR?
    1. Do I need to reinstall LR so that LR can use (or rather can 'see')
    2. Photoshop CS2 to open individual files?
    3. Would changes on the RAW images done by LR are reflected in CS2?
    4. I like LR's Library layout, do I really need to install Adobe Bridge?
    5. If I use CS2 top open files direct from LR (bypassing Bridge), what colour management is best for both worlds? ProColor RGB?
    I use a Mac by the way.
    Thanks.
    Thomas

    1. No, LR is not affected by CS2 licencing procedures. LR not even uses activiation like CS2 which is very much appreciated.
    2,3 You have to ensure that you use the latest Camera Raw plugin for CS2 (ACR 3.7). If you activate the automatic update of XMP metadata you will be able to see changes you made in LR in Bridge and CS2.
    4. You do not have to. But if you are using CS2 heavily besides LR I personally would recommend Bridge
    5. It makes absolutely no difference if you open a file directly in CS2 or via Bridge concerning color management. ProPhoto RGB is very well suited to deal with 16Bit raw photos and it is the internally used color space of LR. But please note that there is no best choice. It really depends on your workflow and output.

  • Photoshop CS2 Trial Install Crash on Mac Pro

    Well, I've seen the benchmark sites running Photoshop CS2 on a Mac Pro, but when I try to install the trial version, it crashs during the install process. I tried re-installing Mac OS X and re-installing Photoshop first thing, but with the same result.
    A search only brought up a previously known issue with QuickTime 7.1, but the fix was to update to 7.1.1 - since my install has QT 7.1.2 this doesn't seem applicable.
    Doom3 is the only other Rosetta app I've tried, and it runs fine - heck, I didn't even initially realize that the demo is the PPC-only version.
    Has anyone else gotten it successfully installed? I don't want to spring out the cash for the full thing until I know it works (and I want to test out the Kodak Digital ROC plug-in to make sure it works as well.)
    (I'm asking here since my lack of search results leads me to think it might be Mac Pro specific.)
    Take care,
    P.M.
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   (2.66/160GB/7300GT/2GB/BT + 250GB PATA drive)

    This worked for me....
    Restart
    During restart, hold Ctrl + Command + P + R to reset the PRAM
    After this, the computer will flash and reboot again and should boot into the Mountain Lion Installer.
    Good luck.

  • How to download photoshop cs2

    how i can download photoshop cs2 trial version

    Is there a particular reason you wanted a trial of photoshop cs2 and not a newer version of photoshop?
    I don't know if you get a photoshop cs2 trial from adobe anymore.
    Which operating system are you using?
    Here are the trial versions of photoshop and photoshop elements adobe still has, but keep in mind, you can only actually buy photoshop cc or photoshop cs6 and photoshop elements 13 as of now.
    The rest are just provided for owners of previous versions that may have misplaced their install media.

    Can someone please help a friend of mine get a permanent registration key (not a trial key that expires in 30 days) to replace his lost registration key for Adobe Photoshop CS2? His previous hard drive crashed and he no longer has his registration key. This is vital for his wedding business.

    Thanks to everyone for the tips on my CS2 question. It turns out in the end it was some plug-in filter software that was causing the glitch, not a lack of an Adobe registration key. As for why he still uses CS2, it does the job for him, so that's all he needs.

  • Photoshop CS2 (program error msg)... Help please!!

    I have installed the full creative suite 2 on my new iMac. everything works fine except photoshop?!!?
    Illustrator works great, In-Design works great, But when i try to open a file or create a new page in PS it tells me "Could not create document because of a program error"???? ***?
    I had a previous version of CS and it worked fine for one day, then that started happening. I installed the CS2 trial version, and it would still give me the same error msg. I erased everything and installed the new CS2 (photoshop, illustrator , in-design and acrobat). It still gives me the same darn msg.???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    See the Adobe Knowledge Base document"Error 'Could not complete your request...' or 'Could not create a new document...' (Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X v10.4)"
    I suggest whenever you have problems with third-party applications, the first place to start troubleshooting is with the application's documentation, then vendor's web site. Usually their sites have FAQs, lists of known bugs, or application-specific forums similar to these Discussions. Sometimes, unlike the Apple Discussions, the questions are even answered by employees of the vendor.
    The document cited above was found in 10 seconds by searching the Adobe support site.
    Good luck!

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 Install

    I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS2, I know it is an old version, but I am unable to upgrade at this time.  However, I have the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS2, and when I run the install it states that it is looking for a previous version of Photoshop.  I have verified that this is not an upgrade only cd.  Please advise.

    Thanks for trying to help out guys but after hours of toying with this thing it finally hit me like a brick wall.  I found a work around.
    For anyone that may run into this issue in the future:
    When you run the Adobe Photoshop CS2 install and it will not let you install due to looking for previous versions
    Install Adoby Photoshop CS2 as the 30 day trial, which will install without any issues.
    After the installation is completed then ender the serial number manually after that.
    Not sure why it has to be a PITA about it, but it works.

  • Photoshop cs2 crashes and reboot windows xp without any error message when I try to open a file

    Hi,
    I downloaded the trial version (assessment for thirty days) of Adobe Photoshop cs2. Once installed the trial version, the program works correctly, except for a basic function: to open files and modify them. Any image files (jpeg-gif-png-tiff-bmp-psd) on press command FILE>OPEN, or Ctrl+O, to open it, sends the system in crash, and without any warning message, send to "restart" the operating system, in my case , windows xp.
    I use also photoshop cs, and it works correctly and allows to open file image also; but not with cs2.
    What's the problem?

    The error message I see in a Event Viewer after the program crashed is the following:
    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: Userenv
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 1041
    Date: 22/03/2009

  • Can't Access Supplementary Editing with Photoshop CS2

    I was a user of Elements3 for a long time mainly because I liked that the catalog's "edit with" feature worked with Photoshop CS2.  I recently got a new PC with Windows 7 so I could not install PSE 3. I downloaded PSE9 trial version to see if all worked well and it was worth the purchase.  The problem I am having is that I cannot seem to get my Photoshop (CS2) as a supplementary editing option.  When I try it tells me this
    But if I don't add it like it says, there is not a Photoshop option when I go to the "edit with" list.
    I don't know if this is right, but from the little bit of research I did it thinks I am trying to add Elements again because the Elements program exe file starts with "Photoshop" so when it reads the Photoshop.exe file it thinks it is a duplicate.  I tried creating a copy and renaming the Photoshop.exe file which almost worked.  Elements allowed me to select it as a supplementary editor and afterwards Photoshop was an edit option.  I tried to edit a photo with it and while the program opened, it then got an error message and ended up closing before the photo came up for editing.
    Can someone give me a fix to use Photoshop as my editor.  I really liked how I could edit in PS and keep a neat catalog of edited versions with the Elements versioning capability.  If I can't do it I probably won't end up purchasing the PSE9 program.

    I have the identical problem trying to use Photoshop as the editor from Photoshop Elements 11.
    Please can some-one let us in on the secret of how to get PSE to recognise that a full Photoshop is installed.
    Thanks
    Dave

  • Can't Install Photoshop CS2 Correctly

    I recently installed Photoshop CS2 on my Windows XP (SP2) computer. It installed fine about a year ago, but I got a virus and had to format my drive to get rid of it a few months ago. I tried to reinstall my software today, opened it, clicked the register later option and tried to start using the software but an error message popped up: "An error has been detected and activation cannot continue. Please restart your computer and reinstall the application." Obviously I followed these instructions. I also tried running the installer as an administrator. No luck. No matter what options I select I still get this message. I can't even install the 30-day trial version of the software because when I start using it, I still get this message. I even get it when I'm not connected to the internet. I don't care if this isn't the latest version. I still paid hundreds of dollars for this software and I should be able to use it regardless, so would someone please tell me a way around this issue? I have a feeling if I contact customer service, they won't care because it's an older Photoshop. Also note that I've been unable to install this software on other computers as well. I only have one computer running the software, but I was told that I could install this on two computers. Even if I couldn't, that still doesn't explain why even the trial version of the software doesn't work. Please help. Thanks.

    Please use the Adobe Contact us page to contact adobe support personnel. (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/). If a customer support person is available for chat, a chat window will open up using which you can talk to the person to resolve your problem.

  • Illlustrator/Photoshop CS2 registration

    I had installed Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 (Education versions, if that makes a difference) to my desktop somewhere around 6 years ago. My desktop finally died on me, so I never had the chance to uninstall either program. Now, when reinstalling on my Dell laptop (which worked just fine) I can't register the program. After researching I now know there have been "glitches" and there are downloads on the Adobe site, but I'm confused. I've got the discs. They were purchased in a store, not downloaded illegally. My disc says I have 30 days to register or Illustrator/ Photoshop CS2 cannot be used.
    My questions:
    -Should I ignore the discs entirely (uninstall from laptop) and download from the link on Adobe (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads) instead?
    -Will this internet download of the programs expire and cause issues with current projects?
    - How will Adobe know I've actually payed for the products? Do I enter my serial number or customer ID anywhere?
    Thank you so very much for your time.
    Stephanie

    Hi StephanieLB
    I believe From the link you can download the Trials and you can activate them using the Serial Number.
    When you put in the Serial Number to Activate it, Adobe Will recognize if this is a Valid Serial key or will throw an Error msg.
    Also, One Serial Key Allows you to install any product on 2 machines.

  • Date preferences problem - Photoshop CS2 and OS X 10.4.6

    I am running Photoshop CS2 9.0.1 on two Mac G5s (Mac OS X 10.4.6) and Photoshop CS 8.0 on a Mac G4 (Mac OS X 10.4.6) but now have a problem with the correct display of dates in File Info on the pair of G5s running CS2 9.0.1.
    However I configure the date display preferences in International in System Preferences (UK prefs - DD/MM/YYYY) File Info will now only display the date as 'short', i.e. 1/6/06, for example. Naturally this presents a major problem with all my pre-2000 dates. By contrast, with exactly identical System Preferences on the G4 with Photoshop CS, the dates display correctly, i.e. 01/06/2006 or 06/06/1944. One of the G5s also has Photoshop CS 8.0 and also exhibits the same problem.
    Is this an OS X 10.4.6 update problem, as I believe, or a combination of flaws between Apple and Adobe? Is there a cure? With a vast number of images in a picture library it is essential to have accurate, pre-2000, dates embedded in the File Info metadata. Can anyone offer an answer, a solution or a workaround?

    After much trial and error I eventually discovered a fix. When customizing the Date Format Preferences (UK) (in System Preferences/International) select 'Short' and then drag the day of the week from the list below as the first item in the displayed date; i.e. Thursday 08/06/2006
    Then modify the DD, MM and YYYY by highlighting the numbers and selecting the full 2 or 4 number digit from the drop-down menus. This is something that seemed to be fine in 10.4.5 but has changed in 10.4.6!

  • Photoshop CS2 File Info Templates fill in all pages, not just it's own

    I just purchased an Acer Laptop computer, has an AMD 64x2 Dual Core Processor, 2GB of DDR2 Ram, 160GB hard drive with Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled. I'm not sure how any of this could be of any help, though.
    I've just installed Photoshop CS2, Neat image noise remover, Nik sharpener, and Huey pro calibrator on it.
    This is to be a second computer to a Dell desktop, that will be used when out of town and we want to work on our images.
    Today we opened Photoshop CS2 and tried to work on some Raw images. We were just going to crop them and fill in the File Info on them then save them to jpeg.
    The cropping went fine. When we tried to enter file info and save the Metadata Templates we had trouble. There are 7 of 12 different pages of info that can be changed, the other 5 can't be, I think. Anyway, we were filling in the Description, IPTC Contact, ITPC Content, IPTC Image and IPTC Status pages. We saved the IPTC Contact page as a Metadata Template.
    The first image went fine, but when we opened other images, and typed in the information it all changed back to the information on the first image we did when the saved Contact template was used. When we saved the IPTC template for the first image it save the information on all of the pages, not just the Contact page. When we realized this, I started playing around with it and whatever template was saved last will give you all the information typed in on all pages that was there when that template was saved. I also checked the Photoshop CS2 installed on the Dell Desk Top and it is working correctly. We have templates for Description, IPTC Contact, and IPTC Image saved on it. These will give you the information on the individual page not all.
    Why would it be doing this on the Laptop and more importantly, how can I fix it?
    I sure hope this makes sense and do apologize for the length of it. Thanks in advance for any help I can get. Linda

    I was having a similar problem - I was saving an SVG from Illustrator, only to find that when I tried to open it or place it back in Illustrator, I got the error "This SVG is Invalid. Validate it before opening."
    You can run the SVG through the W3C validator, remove all the parts causing errors using a simple text editor like Notepad, and then Illustrator should be able to open it. This is a laborious process though if you have a lot of SVGs to save.
    After a discussion with Apple support, I learned that it was actually one of my graphics in the Illustrator file that was causing the issue. I had placed an SVG I received from a co-worker, changed the colors, and was trying to save it as an SVG again, but for some reason I kept getting that error, even when I tried save other icons/layers in the same document. When I deleted the two layers that were corrupt, the Save As SVG worked perfectly, no errors when opening the file.
    I don't know details, but if you are getting this error, try the Flatten Transparency thing like witkacy suggests. If you're still having problems, it may be caused by an SVG you placed in your file. After a little bit of trial and error, you may be able to find the culprit. You may then have to re-create the graphic yourself (like I did). Converting it to outlines or a shape or something may work as well, but I'm not sure.
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • Error 1324 + PDF's are defaulting to Photoshop CS2

    I recently installed a trial version of Photoshop CS2 which was on a disc lent to me. I am now regretting this action because when I go to open a PDF file it defaults to Photoshop instead of Acrobat Reader.
    When attempting to un-install this trial version of CS2 I get an error message  "Error 1324. The path 'My Pictures' cantains an invalid character"
    Sure would like some help out of this situation.

    Dear John,
    Many thanks for your reply to my problem which is occurring when attempting
    to open PDF files emailed to me. The email program is MS Outlook 2003 (on
    Windows XP) and this is my work computer.
    Perhaps the Photoshop CS2 disc may have been corrupted as I have no idea of
    its history however I have managed to un-install it and can do without it.
    But now I am having difficulty opening PDF files even though I have Acrobat
    Reader v8. I am unable to update this to the current v9.0.1 because when I
    do, I get this same error message
    "Error 1324 The path My Pictures or the volume is invalid. Please enter it
    and try again"
    Do I continue to try the fix you suggested or something different. If yes,
    can you please explain where I might find 'Folder Options' and 'File Types'
    in a drop down menu in Windows Explorer as I cannot find them in mine?
    Best regards
    Simon

  • Cannot convert to JPEG in Photoshop CS2

    I have a free trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS2 and for some unknown reason when I open a PDF file Photoshop is reading it as a Bitmap Image and when I go to save it as a JPEG it will not let me. Any helpful insight is greatly appreciated.

    If the image is a bitmap, select Image/Mode/RGB Color. Make sure the color depth is 8 bits. Then you should be able to save into Jpeg.
