Problem Photoshop CS4 3D menu RESOLVED

Hi I had the same problem than Marco_pais in this thread.http://forums.adobe.com/message/2321787?tstart=0#374149
No menu 3D available in PSD CS4.
I've called Adobe support.
- First I upgrade my graphic card (Nvidia)
- then when you restart photoshop : PRESS AT THE SAME TIME CTRL+ALT+SHIFT AND CLICK ON PHOTOSHOP.EXE ICON.
that will delete your preferencies (save them before).
And now it works !!!

If your 3D menu is grayed out it typically means:
The video card is not supported or...
Video card does not have the latest drivers - check ATI or nVidia site.
There is no 3D Engine in the Plugins folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins
Does your Video Card support this feature?
We have 3 tiers of support for 3D:
No OpenGL, when only raytracer is used
Minimal OpenGL when OpenGL is used only for wireframe rendering (everything else is handled by the raytracer) Criteria for Minimal OpenGL is OpenGL 1.2.
Full OpenGL, when everything (rendering/shading/painting) is handled by OpenGL. Criteria for Full OpenGL is OpenGL 1.4.

Other possible errors might be:
If 3D Menu is not showing?
3D does not work in CMYK mode
Did you enter a Photoshop Extended serial number?
If problems still persist you can email your system information from the Photoshop menu - Help > System Info (see attached image )
Hope this helps,

Photoshop CS4 main menu missing a row of pixels

I have Photoshop CS4 installed on my laptop and Photoshop CS4 Extended installed on my desktop (part of Production Suite). I'm experiencing a problem on BOTH systems where the main menu is missing a row of pixels (see image below). Both systems are running Windows XP Pro SP3.
I have Open GL disabled on both systems. The weird thing is the missing row of pixels comes and goes while I'm using the application. Has anyone else noticed anything similar?
- John

I have never seen anything like this on several installations of CS4, but obviously a few people get it.
You could experiment with other video settings, for example updating or rolling back drivers, or checking with hardware acceleration reduced in Display Properties > Advanced.
Also, see if a Windows theme is causing it.

Photoshop CS4 - Menu bar background is showing as black

Hi all,
I've been attempting to change the background colour of the menu bar of my photoshop, for some reason instead of being a white background with black text, i have the below.
The machine I am running has:
Photoshop CS4
Win 7 64 Bit
4GB of Ram
Any help would be really be appreciated, thank you for you time,
Kris

If you have not set an oddball theme on the desktop (which Photoshop mostly ignores), it could be that you have a video driver glitch.
I think the first thing I'd try is this: Right-click on the open desktop, choose Personalize, then save your current theme. Now select the Windows 7 theme, just to make sure everything's set in a known way.
Does the problem persist?
If so, then it's likely a video driver update will help... Visit the web page of the maker of your video card, locate the latest driver version for your hardware and version of Windows, download, and install.

Photoshop CS4 Menu toolbar display bug and fullscreen slowness...

http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/8202/menutoolsbugee3.gif
I'm having a display bug with the menu toolbar in Photoshop CS4 Extended. Notice the area of tools is gone and replaced by random pixels? This happens whenever I enter the fullscreen mode that hides the interface. And when I exit that fullscreen mode, that bug appears and doesn't fix itself until I restart Photoshop. Can this be fixed?
Image view rotation also happens much slower than normal in that fullscreen mode when interface is hidden. But performs normally after I bring back the interface.
I'm on WinXP, Athlon 64 4000+, 3GB ram, GeForce 6800 GT video card [driver 169.21]. I'm not sure if this is a video driver bug or CS4 bug.

Yeah, Dave, I can understand how that can happen. I've seen that sort of weirdness when I've seriously overtaxed my hardware.
 
 Had way too much running all at once yesterday, switched over to Firefox, and clicking on folders in the Bookmarks bar, I had 4 bookmark/folder menus dropped simultaneously.
 
 I managed to grab a screenshot with 2 of them showing, but man! You shoulda seen it with 4!
 
 I ESC'ed out, quit GarageBand (had a song project of several hundred MB going) and all was fixed.

Using windows 8.1 and photoshop cs4 the font size of the MENUS is so small as to be almost unreadable. how do i make the menu fonts larger. this is happening also with bridge

Using windows 8.1 and photoshop cs4 the font size of the MENUS is so small as to be almost unreadable. how do i make the menu fonts larger. this is happening also with bridge

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.
Thanks for your trouble and regards

Photoshop CS4 not autoloading scripts into menu

Hi all,
I've just done a fresh install of CS3 Suite and then CS4 right after. I have two HD's, one is meant for OS and Apps, the other - for data. I keep a folder called "Photoshop Files" in the data HD; that folder contains my actions, scripts, whatever. This is good for if/when I need to reinstall apps or even the OS.
After installation of the Adobe suites, I made symbolic links that point to each necessary folder. ex., "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\Actions\myScripts" points to "D:\Files\Photoshop Files\Scripts". Remember these are symbolic links, not just shortcuts.
Everything works OK in Photoshop CS3 - I can find the scripts in the File > Scripts menu. However in Photoshop CS4, I cannot see the scripts. Anyone have an idea of what's going wrong?

Re: How much RAM can PS CS4e use in Mac OS 10.5.x?
The answer is more complicated than that, and the amount of RAM that Photoshop can directly access has indeed changed as of CS3. Elementary computing math. Both Panther and Tiger, under which Photoshop CS3 was developed and released, are 32-bit operating systems. The 232 limitation still holds for all 32-bit applications (minus overhead/application footprint 231). Because one bit is reserved, the calculation has to be 231, which works out to2147483648, and that's why up through CS2, the Photoshop limit was around 2 GB as it was for any other applications because of the limitation imposed by the 32-bit OS. In CS3, the Photoshop engineers devised a workaround to circumvent the limitations of the 32-bit OS to let it access about 3 GB. (There's some overhead and rounding off.) So, be thankful for the resourcefulness of the Adobe folks, rather than rant against the forces of nature and mathematics.

Photoshop CS4 Freezes on startup at "Building TWAIN menu items"

Title says it all.. every time I start up Photoshop it freezes at "Building TWAIN menu items" and causes an error menu to pop up where I can choose to send it or not send it. Anyways I've never had a problem before until last night. It doesn't make any sense..
Any thoughts?

I fixed it, just incase anyone else gets the error heres how..
Browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\Import-Export
then find the Twain_32.8BA file and rename it to ~Twain_32.8BA
Cheers

"Run with Rosetta" option doesn't exist on Get Info menu on Photoshop CS4 application

"Run with Rosetta" option doesn't exist on Get Info menu on Photoshop CS4 application. what should i do? help me.. =(

I'll assume that's a Mac-Intel machine, as I'm not familiar with macbooks or laptops in general. Obviously, if it were a PPC you would not need Rosetta in the first place.
Well, here's what I would do:
I'd re-install CS4 in the hopes that will solve the problem;
Second, I'd stop listening (and probably even speaking) to the misguided soul who recommended CleanmyMac to me;
Third, delete all traces of CleanmyMac; and
Fourth, I'd reinstall the OS and all applications on my machine.
But that's just me.

BUG: Toggling interface on/off causes missing menu toolbar items and icons in Photoshop CS4!

When I toggle the interface on/off it causes missing menu toolbar items and icons until I exit and restart Photoshop CS4. I know this can happen if problem filters are installed. So I have the latest Alien Skin filters installed and have already followed their AutoLayer2.8li file updates to resolve Windows Photoshop CS4 issues. I also have Luxology imageSynth 2.0 filter installed. So since all my filters are updated to CS4 compatible versions, I shouldn't have this problem but yet it occurs. Any way to fix this?
I'm using WinXP SP2, 4 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 with newest 185.85 driver. I have 3D canvas rotation turned on.

What do you mean by this? Are you using standard methods (i.e. the buttons on the top-right of the screen) in Windows Explorer to minimize and then restore? or what?
Are you on XP 64-bit? or 32-bit?
Did you install driver version 185.85 before or after the problem started?
Do you just one GTX 260, or are you doing SLI at all?
Do you have more one monitor? If so, and you limit yourself to just one, do you still have the problem?
Also, just to make sure that this problem wasn't somehow caused by your plug-ins (because I have seen onOne plug-ins, at least, that install several DLL files and you can't disable DLLs by renaming with ~ like with plug-in files), or caused by a messed up install of PS, go ahead and repair the PS install. Follow the "Restore the default set of Photoshop CS4 plug-ins" section in this document, except that after Step 3 (or Step 5, if you're on 64-bit Windows) get rid of the entire "Adobe Photoshop CS4" folder from Program Files (and the one in Program Files (x86) if you're on 64-bit Windows):

Photoshop CS4 - File Type Associations and Bridge CS4

I have both Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop Elements 7.0 installed on my PC running Windows Vista Home Premium, I removed Photoshop CS3 after installing CS4. The issue I have is that if I look at file associations in Bridge CS4 under Preferences, none of the file types are set to Photoshop CS4, they are set to either Explorer or Photoshop Elements 7.0. The even stranger thing is also that if I try to change the associations, Photoshop CS4 is not even displayed as an option, as Photoshop Elements 7.0 always is, I have to browse in order to find it. This works, but I find it strange. Also within Windows none of the file associations are set to Photoshop CS4 after installation, I have to change them manually, again by browsing for it. I remember that in previous installs of Photoshop there was the possibility to change or use default file associtions, does CS4 have this? I guess this is not really a problem, but I find it somewhat strange that Elements 7.0 is always offered as an option but not CS4 and makes me feel it hasn't installed properly. Anyone have any ideas?

CCleaner did the trick for me too!
But I still suspect something about CS4 installer is not right.
Under CS3 I used Vista "open with">"choose program">"always use" to assiciate bridge CS3 with my canon camera raw files.. At that time it did work.
After installing CS4, I wanted to do the same with bridge CS4 but it didnt work. In the "choose program" vista menu, whatever I was doing, I couldnt select bridge CS4 it was always comming back to photoshop cs4 or bridge cs3.
After using CCleaner, I could re-associate the way I want right away.
So my word to photoshop's installer developper: please try to reproduce this issue, it should be easy, and make the installer avoid this.
Thanks

Photoshop CS4 Crashes on File-Open

After using Photoshop CS4 for 9 months, I now get an instant crash whenever I open an image with File-Open. I see the image I wanted to open for a few seconds at the back of the error message (1st screenshot, below) and then it disappears - on clicking OK on the first error message, I get a second error message (2nd screenshot, below). I upgraded to version 11.0.1 - no difference. I have completely uninstalled all plug-ins - no difference. I have completely uninstalled and then reinstalled Photoshop to version 11.0 - no difference. I have upgraded a clean install to version 11.0.2 - no difference. I have deleted the prefs file - no difference. I deleted a set of new fonts I had installed after reading a thread on this forum - no difference. Occasionally, I CAN open a file from Windows Explorer with the right-click menu Open With... Adobe Photoshop CS4 then, after doing that, FIle Open does not cause a crash for opening one file, sometimes 2 but then I get the crashes again until the next time I run Photoshop but it seems random as to when it will open a file or not.
I am now considering uninstalling all Adobe products, manually clearing out the registry and then trying another install but all this is taking time I don't have.
Does anyone have any other suggestions I could try. I am getting desperate!
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Memory address issues can be tough to track down. Often, they will occur when a program either mis-reports the memory addresses used, or tells the OS that it has released them, when it has not.
Though written with video editing in mind, there still might be some tips for setting up your computer, in this ARTICLE. If you have Win7, please look down-thread for Black Viper's tuning page.
Now, Adobe programs have always been great at reporting their memory usage, but it could still happen - I've just never encountered it over the decades.
Good luck,

Photoshop CS4 Crashes When Opening Image - Other Adobe Programs Work

I'm at the end of my rope here.
The problem is (that has spontaneously occurred) is that Photoshop CS4 opens fine. I go to Open, select image, it loads it on screen for a few seconds ,and then I get this Photoshop has stop working and it closes out - no error codes or explanations.
I have updated.
I have reinstalled with a clean it all up program beforehand.
The Open GL drawing is disabled.
I have reset preferences.
Other Adobe programs (e.g., Premiere Pro) work fine.
Nothing particularly new or special done to computer except that I changed from AVG Antivirus to Microsoft Security Essentials.
Windows is updated (I'm Vista - 32bit).
Is the problem my driver (a NVDIA GeForce 6150 nforce 430)? It's updated to the current version, do I need to find the download for an older version and go back in time?
I have only 2GM in RAM (there's plenty of room on the hard drive btw), but I can't spend more money on this 3 yr + computer. Do I need to set my RAM preferences differently?
And I've not had this problem before, it's always worked.
To prevent me from losing my mind any further, any help would be appreciated.

If OpenGL drawing is disabled, then the video driver isn't too likely. Most of the problems in drivers show up with OpenGL drawing enabled.
But printer drivers and fonts can sometimes cause issues.
And there's always a chance that the video driver is failing at something simple (like drawing a menu or cursor).

Photoshop CS4 in-application help

I am using the trial Photoshop CS4 and cannot get the in-application Help to work. the CS3 Help works just fine.
When I launch Help from the Menu bar I am directed to the Adobe Site.
When I launch the Adobe Help application from the Applications folder, I get the Help window, and when I click on the 'Help for' menu and Choose 'Adobe Photoshop CS4' I get this
"This topic is in the Help system of another product. To view the topic, install that product. file:///Library/Application%20Support/Adobe/Help/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/help.html'
I need 'Help' with 'Help'.

What Buko says.
Also, when you've opened that page, you'll see a little (
very little) PDF icon at the top there, which gives you the option of downloading the whole Help site as a 40+MB PDF document to your drive. Useful if you're always connected to the Internet, but it has the downside of not benefiting from updates, additions and corrections.
