Photoshop CS4 and Mac OS10.7 Lion

Photoshop CS4 is not working with Lion.  How can I fix?

Details are needed:
First of all, what kind of Mac?  If it's one of the Macs with the infamous Intel integrated graphics (iMac, Mac Book, Mac Mini), we need not inquire further.  The number of bugs introduced by Lion in these machines is too numerous to go into.
Otherwise, it would be useful to know whether CS4 is updated to version 11.0.2, Lion to 10.7/2, whether you Repaired Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility before and after every install, upgrade or update of the application and the OS, as well *** what other troubleshooting steps you have taken so far.
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

PS— Beyond that, you may want to consider upgrading while you can, as CS4 will be out of the upgrade loop the moment CS6 is announced, and that should/could be in a matte of weeks.  The new Adobe upgrade policy will be one version back only as of CS6.

  • Photoshop CS4 and Mac OS 10.6

    I installed the new Mac OS 10.6 and could not use the healing brush and clone stamp. Is there going to be a fix for it? I went back to 10.5.8 because of the problems. When will it be released?

    Stay with 10.5.8 until you hear that everything has been fixed. It took Apple 6 updates to make 10.5 useable. If you must play with the new system, clone your drive to a second partition or hard drive and update that to Snow Leopard. now you can boot either system and see for yourself when the fixes come in while keeping a system you can work in.

  • Photoshop CS4 and Mac 10.5.6 unable to install...

    Hello,
    I downloaded the trial version of CS4. Fired up the Setup I get the first screen, and then the window does not register mouse click to the "next" button or clicking the Trial radio button. I can't move forward. Anyone experience the same issue? Thanks for the advice/pointers.

    I just tried that and see the same behavior. I even downloaded the trial package again and no luck.

  • PhotoShop Cs4 and Mountain Lion

    Is Photoshop Cs4 compatable with Mountail Lion and if not are there plans to make it so?

    You can bet your bottom dollar that there will be absolutely no changes or modifications to CS4, an obsolete and unsupported version not sold by Adobe for years.
    Whether it is fully "compatible" with Mountain Poop, I cannot tell you.  Sorry.  In any event, CS4 for the Mac is 32-bit only.

    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.

    Hi, Accidentally somebody screw up Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 Master edition on a MAC computer in the school. The install discs did not start to run therefore I can't  reinstall the 2 missing programs. I want to install the softwares, therefore I download those from here.  The downloaded program refuse to accept the serial number which was given to the school when they purchased the Master Collection CS4 MLP A00. Thank you for your help, in advance.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thank you. I am a little bit busy at work, sorry for the delayed reply. I tried to solve the problem, but it still exists. The 3rd of the Adobe disk is damaged someway. I tried to run on my mac at home and it has a failure. So I think we have no other choice that to download the full pack of master collection. I had a discussion with the IT expert and he figured out that company does not exist any more from where they purchased the Adobe Master Collection for Mac and PC. So If you would be kind to help me, what kind of information ID or any kind of document would be needed to identify the purchaser institute (us). I don't think any of us has an account at the Adobe. I will try to figur out. I desperately need to replace Photoshop and InDesign as without them it's really harsh to teach the kids fot the graphic design.
    Sincerely yours.

  • Cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files

    I have spent hours downloading a variety of stuff and still cannot get  CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files. I  have downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 plugin. Photoshop acknowledges that  is the version installed. But it won't recognize the .CR2 file type.  When I say show me all files, the files show up in the open file dialog,  and the thumbnails look right, but when I open the file it is munged. I  also installed the DNG Converter, which also does not recognize the  .CR2 files.
    Has anyone figured this out yet? It has been almost a year. I don't want to upgrade to CS4 or 5 or buy Lightroom.

    The Adobe DNG Converter 6.2 will open your files, if you have an uncorrupted download and use it properly.  No doubt about that.
    Once you launch it, be sure to target a folder containing raw files, not the raw files themselves.  At least on the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders, not on individual files.
    Alternatively, you can try dragging and dropping the individual raw files onto the DNG Converter icon.
    Some routine maintenance may be overdue on your Mac, such as Repairing Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, running Onyx or Cocktail, etc.

  • Photoshop CS4 for Mac What can cause the error: Plug-in failed to load - NO VERSION

    With Photoshop CS4 for Mac I install the Kodak Plug-in DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0. When Photoshop starts I get an error:
    Plug-ins that failed to load:
       DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0 NO VERSION -  - from the file “DigitalAIRProv2.plugin”Flash:
       Connections
       Kuler
    This plug-in works fine on my Mac Pro with Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6 but fails on a new Macbook Air.
    Reinstalling the plug-in did not make any difference. What can cause this error?

    Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?
    Also, The Flash extensions:Connections and Kuler are working OK, I just copied a little more out of the System Info report than I needed to.

  • More on Photoshop CS4 and Epson print drivers

    I just got my Epson Stylus Pro 7900 with the SpectroProofer option. One thing the SpectroProofer enables is bypassing everything to talk to the printer directly. I made up a sample target (based on Bill Atkinson's RGB 5x12 Hues Target) and printed/measured this with the SpectroProofer. I then took the output printed by the SpectroProofer and measured this manually with MeasureTool and my Eye-One Pro (Rev B ). The average/worst correlation was 1.00/2.02 Delta E 2000, good enough for me given two different instruments and the SpectroProofer patches are a tad narrow for the Eye-One.
    I then printed the same target with Photoshop CS3 and No Color Management and this compares well with the SpectroProofer output (0.69/1.90). So I have confidence that CS3 is passing the data directly.
    I then printed the target again with Photoshop CS4 and No Color Management, same driver settings and get a CS3/CS4 difference of 3.22/10.25. I repeated the CS4 readings and get 3.21/10.29.
    The odd man out here is CS4. The differences between the CS3 and CS4 printouts (remember both with No Color Management) are clearly visible. GIven that the Epson 7900 drivers are brand spanking new, I'm not expecting architectural changes in the short term so I plan to stick with CS3 for profiling/printing.

    You may want to explore the solution given and explained by Eric Chan:

    Essentially, with the newer Leopard APIs, the recommended approach is for a printer driver to register its printer profiles to the system (i.e., Leopard). That is, the driver needs to provide a default profile to Leopard so that Leopard can provide the appropriate color matching. The default profile provided usually is a function of the color mode (e.g., RGB color or black-and-white), media type, resolution, etc.
    CS4 was updated to use the newer printing APIs (a requirement moving forward) and hence relies on the driver providing the correct default profile.
    If the driver doesn't do this, then Leopard will provide its own default profile, which is obviously not the correct printing profile and will have the side effect of making prints appear too dark and possibly with a strong color cast.
    (BTW, this is exactly what was going on with some Canon iPF printers recently with many users blaming Adobe for introducing printing bugs in CS4, when the real issue was the driver not correctly providing the default profile to Leopard. The issue was resolved a couple of days ago when Canon released an updated driver.)
    The problem appears to be Leopard indeed, ironically because CS4 was
    optimized for Leopard, while early versions are not.
    The solution/workaround has worked for several users already, and it's certainly easy to implement.

  • Photoshop cs4 and cs5 and after effects 7.0

    Hello my name is mel
    My question ! I'm working with photoshop cs4 and after effects 7.0 building a web page and this going to be my first page . I got the header in and the footer also,
    the main body is going to be this avi file. after effect project that I want to run when the page opens. I want to slice up and send to DW for coding . my question is how do you slice this page up and transport it to DW.cs5 and do you have to code the avi in html and css to run when the page is open. Because as now when you run the avi in photoshop nothing elese on the page works , just the avi runs when you turn off the avi then every thing is back normal .to run the avi you have go to the video part of psd and click on the start button . any idea or any suggestion how to proceded would help
    thanks

    we were told in design school to use ps to design your site   then transport to DW to code??
    Maybe I misunderstood you.... You do the graphics in PS, that's of course what everyone does and then you code in DW, but by all means, you do not operate on the atrocious code Save for Web would spit out from PS. Trying to fix it is more trouble than starting with a blank page in DW and inserting the background and otehr images manually. And you definitely misunderstand "animation" vs. "video" After Effects is just a means to turn animation into video just as Flash is a means of creating dynamically rendered animation or interactive content. Both have their uses, but without knowing what kind of animation or video you actually need to produce, this is going nowhere. It may turn out that all you need is an animated GIF, after all... Furthermore your AE 7 is dated and does not output good H.264 or FLV directly compared to more recent versions, so this opens up yet anotehr can of worms when it comes to producing good quality web video at small file sizes... In any case, you still require a lot of reading. Too complex a topic for which nobody can provide a tippy-toe tutorial and without understanding even some basic concepts, the most beautifully designed PS grafik will end up being nothing more than a useless lump of pixels on a web server...

  • Photoshop cs4 and import to iphoto problem

    Hi to all,
    I would appreciate any help on this problem:
    I process a raw file through camera raw 5.1 in photoshop cs4 and then save it as a jpeg.
    I then try to import the jpeg file to iphoto, but iphoto says the file is unreadable and can't import it.
    In photoshop cs3 I never encountered this problem.
    The only way I can solve it is if i open the jpeg file in preview and save it again as jpeg. then i am able to import the new jpeg.
    Any ideas how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    process a raw file through camera raw 5.1 in photoshop cs4 and then save it as a jpeg.
    I then try to import the jpeg file to iphoto, but iphoto says the file is unreadable and can't import it.
    That's because you're saving it inside the iPhoto Library package and trying to import from there. You must save all RAW edited files to the desktop or outside of the iPhoto Library package. iPhoto will not import any file located inside it's library package.
    If you use CS4 to edit jpgs from within iPhoto the following may be of help to you:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Saving Jpeg in Photoshop CS4 and having problems

    Okay, i have been looking all over the internet and i hope it's something really foolish...
    After editing a photo in Photoshop (CS4) and saving it as a JPEG / JPG, many people using windows can't open the file, and it gets the extension .JPGG ( ...?... )
    If I import the picture in Iphoto first and then mail it ther is no problem.
    perhaps this is quite obvious to some, but it's a mystery to me.
    To update my website i need to save my JPG files to an XML folder and then flash reads the files and opens them in the site.
    The JPG files i saved using photoshop won't open in the site, even worse, the site won't even load because the loader gets 'stuck'.
    i tried putting them in Iphoto first because that helped with with mailing, but it doesn't seem to be working this time.
    I've tried all the JPG saving options like Baseline etc. converted them to RGB ( they already were) so i'm out of options.
    ANYONE ?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I have CS3 so don't know if there's major changes to the formatting process by each version. That may be a question to ask in the Adobe support forum.
    However, for a workaround you might try using the Automator workflow I created to change any image file to jpg with the sRGB color profile. Just drag the files onto the workflow icon and they will be converted. You can get it, "Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile", at Toad's Cellar. See if those jpgs will work OK. There will be some jpeg compression applied but if they are for posting on the web it may not be objectionable.

  • Photoshop CS4 and Firefox 3.6

    It seems like my Photoshop CS4 and Firefox 3.6 are clashing if I run both programs at the same time. Am I the only one having this problem?

    I'm usually running PS (CS4), Dreamweaver (CS4), Flash (CS4), and Firefox (3.6.2) all at once most of the day. I've got a MacBook Pro 13" with 2.26gHz Core Duo, 4Gb of RAM and I'm running a 23" HD monitor as my primary desktop with the MacBook display as the secondary. The only time I have any issues is when I'm doing all that and I open Windows 7 in VMWare & it sucks up all the processor it can get just to run.
    By "clashing" what do you mean?
    Are you unable to switch between the two?
    Is your system slowing down with both open?3
