Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

Bug reports should go in the main forum.
And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.

Problems with Photoshop CS4 installer, stops initializing at 90%

I need help. I have been trying for the last several days to install a copy of Photoshop CS4 on a new Laptop computer with Vista 64, I purchased Photoshop CS$ about a year ago. I have installed the same software on another computer with vista 64 with no problem. I have read everything on the Internet I can find. It seems that there is a final process which while initializing sticks. Others on the Internet are also having the same problem but fixes are all over the board. Adobe Tech tried to have me install another user, no help. I have tried to remove Photoshop in the control panel programs & features to no avail, its not a full copy. Can any one help, please
Thanks in advance

Did you update PS CS4 to 11.0.1? If not update before turning off opengl or updating Nvidia drivers.
There are also new nvidia drivers out 197.13. However, newer does not always equal better.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Installation Error

I'm new to this site and my computer has Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1.
After I installed Photoshop CS4 trial, it failed to install Photoshop, but the rest were successful. I went to get more information and this is the message:
Adobe Fonts All
Error:
Error 1603. Error 1907.Could not register font . Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install fonts, and that the system supports this font.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack

If there is a topic similar to this one, then I shouldn't be here!

I have been using Adobe Photoshop CS4 for a few months now without any problems or errors.
But last week.. i had a virus problem and decided to do a Clean Installation of my Operating System.
I was not too worried because I have done this millions of times already... and know the process like the back of my hand.
Well.. after the clean installation was complete, i started to load my applications.
To my surprise.. Adobe Photoshop CS4 would not install. Nor would Adobe Illustrator CS4.
It would get to the screen "Adobe is beginig the installation process" and would stall ..
At first... i thought it would eventually complete on it's own.. but after a few attempts and hours of the same screen with no progress.. it was obvious Adobe was no longer responding at that stage.
I searched high and low, night and day, over a few days trying to figure out the problem.
I was trouble-shooting everything.
In the middle of trouble-shooting, i took a break to surf the Net and see if i could find any suggestions when i ran into this Forum.
Someone mentioned disabling your Internet Security & Windows Defender.. and i thought.. no way.. it can't be that easy.
Well.. what do you know.. it was my Internet Security (Kaspersky Internet Security 2010)
After disabling Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, Adobe flew right pass the part where it was stalling, and finished installation without incident.
Adobe Illustrator CS4 also installed without any problems ...
I just wanted to share my experience as i know how frustrating it can be when software refuses to install.
Good Luck to everyone.. be patient.. trial & error. .. and im sure you'll figure it out.

"downloaded Photoshop CS4 here and i tried to install as trial (30 days), Error: "Please insert Photoshop C4 into drive E:/ to continue instalation" what's wrong? What should I do? To install free trial? Tks"
@ ApologetX
I had a similar problem when i extracted the contents of my Adobe DVD and made an ISO file out of it so i would no longer need the DVD for installation.
But what i realized is that.. Adobe will not install if it's installed from the ISO.. and during installation.. an error would pop up.. and ask for the DVD
You probably have done something similar.
Here's what i did to fix:
- Extract the contents of Adobe Photoshop CS4 into a Folder
- and install from that ..
After i extracted the contents and installed from "setup.exe" .. the installation completed without error ..
DVD
- If you're having problems from the DVD .. then try to extract the Contents of the DVD on to your Desktop..
and install from there ..
Trial Installer
- As for the Trial you are referring to .. im not familiar with it ..
but try to extract the contents of it to your Desktop .. and go from there ..
Good Luck

Adobe Photoshop CS4 installation options

Hi,
I am preparing an unattended installation of Photoshop CS4. I generated the xml files using the command "setup.exe" --record=1.
Now I will create a bat file to execute the setup with the following sentence:
"setup.exe" --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="AdobeCS4\payloads\install.xml" --skipProcessCheck=1
I only know the argument "Silent" to apply to the "--mode", my question is: There are other arguments to apply on it?
PD: forgiveme if my english isnt very correct

You have a conflict with a CS2 product or a problem with your system's language settings. For the first case, download the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility, run it and remove all instances of Adobe Setup 2.0 that may be on your system. for the second case, set your system to a consistent standard language like US English and also make sure to pick that same language during install. Do not use odd combinations of your system running e.g. in Hindi and trying to install in French.

Photoshop CS4 extended upgrade problems.....Help!

I am using Photoshop CS3 (registered and activated) on my old computer.
I built a new computer and want to install CS4 extended on it. I purchased a Photoshop CS4 Extended update from Amazon for $342.99. During installation of CS4 on my new computer I entered the serial number. The next page that pops up is Upgrade Check that asks: 1) Select product that you already own: The only choice is Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended and 2) it asks for the serial number. I am upgrading from Photoshop CS3, not the extended version, so it will not accept my serial number. Photoshop is installed on a trial basis right now.
I tried installing Photoshop CS3 on the new computer but that did not help and CS3 did not recognize the CS2 installation disk that I put in the CD drive to prove that I was allowed to install a CS3 uprade.
The new computer I am trying to install on is an Intel i7 920 processor on a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P motherboard, with 12Gb RAMM, a Sapphire Toxic Radion HD 4870 graphics card, and running Windows XP pro 64 bit. I installed the operating system on the D drive. This computer is not setup to connect to the internet.
I am also trying to install Adobe CS2 Creative Suite (everything except Photoshop), but the CS2 installation does not recognize the Adobe CS1 disk 1 when I put it in the CD drive as requested.
This is all very frustrating considering how happy I have been with my Adobe software all the way back to Photoshp 5. I called the 800-833-6687 number and after playing phone tree for a while was informed that I was calling outside their hours (at noon on Sunday) even though the webpage I got the number from says they are available 7 days a week.
It was bad enough that after spending $195 to upgrade to Photoshop CS3, 3 weeks later Adobe announced Photoshop CS4.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Steve

You do like making things complicated don't you?
From your message I deduce that you purchased an upgrade that is not in the upgrade eligibility path from the version that you had.
It's not logical but then what is these days in Adobe marketing? The only solution seems to be to get back on the telephone.

PhotoShop CS4 hotfolder creation problems in OS10.8.1

Hi there. I am new to AppleScript, and I am setting a hot folder to PS CS4 in OS 10.8.1
Once a file is dragged to this folder, open Photoshop automatically to do one action. And then save this file.
I have read through several solutions through some forums, and tried one by myself.
on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving theseFiles
     tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
     launch
           repeat with thisFile in theseFiles
                 open thisFile showing dialogs never
                       tell current document
                               do action "Add ICC" from "Set 1"
                       end tell
           end repeat
      end tell
end adding folder items to
But if I compile,
1. There is an error :Expected end of line but found identifier. The word "showing" in "open thisFile showing dialogs never" is highlighted.
     I checked this error, the applescript says that there is a space...
2. I just use "open thisFile" to try, another error: Expected end of line but found class name. And then "document" of "tell current document" is highlighted.
3. I also delete "tell current document" to test again, then "action" is highlighted and the error: "Expected end of line but found identifier."
This script is followed by script manual of PS CS4. I don't know where the problems are....
Can anyone give me some advice? Thank you!

I would try restoring preferences: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5
If that doesn't work, a Clean and Reinstall might do it...
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Photoshop CS4 Installation Crash Issues

Hey all.
I was installing the trial version of CS4 (on Vista) when my power went out. When I tried to install again, I kept getting this error message:
>- undefined
>- The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media
I checked the log and these are the errors I picked up:
>Failed to create payload session.

I've tried a ton of different *solutions* to try and fix this. My attempt to uninstall via control panel failed, i got the same error message is the install. I can't find any CS4 folders in the regedit, so that didn't work. I downloaded windows install wizard utility, ran that, as well as the adobe cs4 cleanup script.
I manually deleted the common files > installer folder. I even uninstalled the illustrator CS4 trial.
Lastly i did a system restore.
Nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Could You post the file (provided it’s not too big) or at least a screenshot of the 3D (Materials)-Panel with some of the problematic Material selected?

Adobe CMM and Photoshop CS4 File Info problems

I installed the Adobe Color Management Module several days ago.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
Today when I opened the File Info dialog in Photoshop CS4,I got a blank black window. Same went for the Kuler window and other extensions under the Window menu. Other panels such as the palettes and toolbox were fine.
I went through reset prefs,reinstalled PS,and reinstalled my video driver.
Same problems.
Uninstalled the Adobe CMM and the panels returned to normal.
I don't know exactly what happened,but something this forum should know about.

Chris,I downloaded and reinstalled the CMM and the problem repeated.
File Info: blank, as well as the Kuler, and Connect extensions under the Windows menu. Additionally,any custom panels installed via Configurator also went blank.(although I had uninstalled those on my first round of troubleshooting)
Again as soon as I uninstalled the CMM,I got the File Info, Kuler, and Connect windows back.
This is on a Toshiba A205-S5843 running Vista SP1
I also tried the CMM on a Toshiba A75 (Windows XP)with a trial of CS4 Extended. There were no problems on that configuration with the CMM installed.
I don't know what it is,but thought it should be passed along.

Photoshop CS4 OPENGL Drawing problem with Photoshop CS4

Hello, I've had this problem since i installed photoshop cs4, and its finally getting on my nerves and i'm looking for a fix.
I am on Windows XP SP3, NVIDIA 8800GTS. The OPENGL Drawing in Photoshop CS4 works fine, but a lot of times, when i start photoshop, it'll say that OPENGL Drawing is disabled and i'll have to go in to preferences and re-endabe and restart photoshop again to get it working. Please help, it's really annoying

NVIDIA apparently does not update their drivers specifically to correct Photoshop CS4 incompatibilities. There release notes have never mentioned bugs or fixes relating to Photoshop.
Try setting the 3D settings to Performance (rather than Quality) in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Adobe Pixelbender / Photoshop CS4 graphics / memory problems

I have been using my 4 year old MacBook Pro for rendering images (using the GPU) with a special pixelbenderscript and stitching these images together with photoshop CS4.
With mybrand new MacBook Pro, suddenly I get erratic behaviour when rendering the images, the whole screen gets covered with a mix of the image and parts of the desktop/application.
The next problem is the stiching of the images in PS CS4, where I get a "out of RAM" message where my old MacBook Pro did the work just fine (and I have 4GB RAM now, before only 3).
Is this a known issue? Any solution?
Regards
Johan

Go to this site and download the 9.9 driver set. The 9.5 driver set had a streaming problem that had to be fixed with a hotfix. I have the 4870 also and the 9.9 drivers are stable and have no issues with PS CS4 on vista 64 bit.
http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx
Sometimes it is better not to change drivers if you don't have issues. But the 9.5 set has issues.
Make sure you un-install the old drivers. When you click on the Icon and start the install it will unpack as normal but you will come upon a screen to install or uninstall. Choose uninstall to remove the old driver package. Reboot. Then click on the icon again, it will unpack and you will get the screen again so choose install. Reboot after install.
If I remember correctly the 9.5 drivers, after install, did not show the reboot screen. You still have to reboot.

Photoshop CS4 installation "Critical errors were found in Setup Please see the Setup log file for details".

Habe mir einen neuen Laptop bestellt (Win 8.1) habe auf diesem die Installation ohne Probleme durchführen können. Der Laptop musste aber wegen technischen Defekts gegen einen neuen getauscht werden.
Auf diesem funktioniert die Installation nicht mehr.(Fehler siehe oben in Threadbeschreibung) Habe auch schon nach Lösungen gegoogelt - die Tipps von "Neu aufsetzen" bringen mir nichts da der Computer nagelneu ist.
Der Fehler kommt sowohl beim installieren von CD und bei der heruntergeladenen Version.
Wo ich dieses Log-File finde weiß ich nicht.
Daten zum Laptop (Falls diese benötigt werden) Dell Inspirion 15 7000er Serie mit einem i7 2,0Ghz, 16GB Ram, 2Gb Grafikkarte und Windows 8.1 64bit.
Habe die CD auf dem Rechner von meinem Dad (Win XP SP3) versucht zu starten, dabei entsteht der gleiche Fehler.
Vielen Dank jetzt schonmal für die Hilfe
Sven

Habe mein Windows nun doch nochmal neu installiert - siehe da es funktioniert.
Schwach finde ich von Adobe keinen Support mehr am Telefon anzubieten. Mag zwar sein das Cs4 nicht mejr aktuell ist aber dennoch zu sagen es gibt keinen Support mehr ist schwach! Die Damen und Herren in der Geschäftsleitung mögen es zwar nicht glauben aber es gibt auch Menschen auf diesem Planeten die nicht mit Geld um sich werfen können.
Ich wünsche mir für die Leute da oben auch mal ähnliche Probleme in einer Autowerkstatt wenn sie mit ihren Oldtimer ein Problem haben und dort dann gesagt wird das dieses Fahrzeug leider nicht mehr repariert werden kann weil es zu alt ist.
Danke an die Hilfe die ich bekommen habe - auch wenn sie nicjts gebracht hat.

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.
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.
