Photoshop CS4 quit working

I upgraded from CS3 to CS4 several weeks ago, and everything seemed ok except for a few little quirks with onOne. I was able to work around these issues and thought CS4 was great. Now the problem.......I tried to open CS4 yesterday and it would not open. Blue box came on screen and went through the process like it was launching, then message came up "CS4 has quit working". The program closed and continues to do this every time I try to open it. CS3 works, Bridge works, Lightroom works, only the CS4 will not work.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled the program. Everythig loaded fine with no messages or problems. But.........it still will not work. I need help!

Is the OnOne software already updated to a CS4 compatible version? If not, it may completely mess up things. This is a known problem.

Photoshop CS4 quits responding when using 3D

Photoshop CS4 quits responding when selecting new texture in materials section under opacity in 3D. I have not had this happen till just a few weeks ago. It was working just fine. I run an IMac with 2 gig of ram. My graphics card is a ATI,RadeonX1600.

Ok I have tried turning off OpenGL and it seems to be just the Opacity, but it still locks up even if I just raise or lower the opacity level or pick new texture. By the way I called apple tech yesterday and they offered to roll me back to previous update but if anything occurred as a result of it, it would cost me $49.00 per incident. The tech also said that adobe needs to be the one with an update for the problem. Man what a mess. Well that all being said I will just have to use my MacBookPro for my 3D work. I have no problem with Photoshop on it. How do I get Adobe to do an update for the problem.

After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

Yes.
Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
However, the real issue is why the program is not working. Did you install anything recently?
When you tried to re-install from the disk, did you shut off the antivirus program temporarily?
Have you tried a system restore to a point in time when the program was working properly?

Any suggestions?

Is that the ancient Photoshop CS a.k.a. Photoshop 8.x ?

Photoshop CS4 "quit unexpectedly" - Error Message

Photoshop CS4 suddenly will NOT Open - "Photoshop quit unexpectedly" - worked fine until two-days ago; all other CS4 programs work just fine. iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/ 4 GB RAM/ OS 10.7.5 - HELP... Any ideas what is happening?

Photoshop is not an Apple product, I'd suggest you contact Adobe for support.

Photoshop CS4 quits when saving

When I save a document, Photoshop unexpectantly quits. I'm running Mavericks on a late 2009 iMac. 8Gb of RAM. 300+Gb of hard drive available.
I've ran DiskWarrior, Apple's Disc Utilities, Restarted the iMac.
I've held-down Command, Option, Shift when starting Photoshop.
I've removed the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file.
I've deleted third-party brushes and restored the default brushes.
Thinking it was font related, I used Suitcase Fusion and FontDoctor to find any corrupted fonts. It found some. I set those aside.
Nothing has helped.
I've noticed when I close a Photoshop document after working in it, then choose Save from that dialog box, it saves my work and Photoshop doesn't unexpectedly quit.
I noticed in a Guest account on the computer, Photoshop seems to work fine (it doesn't unexpectedly quit when I save).
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Thanks!
Cameron

Yes, it crashes.
The crash report is lengthy, so I've uploaded it to my website: http://trentstudios.com/cameron-crash-report.txt

Photoshop CS4 quits unexpectedly on startup

I installed all of CS4 Master Collection yesterday, on a brand new iMac. All programs were working fine. Today, Photoshop gives the "application quit unexpectedly" message when I try to open it. However, all of the other programs are still working.
Any suggestions?

I have also been having a startup crash with Photoshop CS4. It is the latest Mac OSX, all updated, latest Photoshop CS4, all updated. It is installed on an older Intel iMac. The crash report is below. This is very confusing as it is a new installation after a system update (wiped disk) to 10.6 - as vanilla as it comes. Any ideas anyone?

Help Application in CS4 quit working

When I click "Help" in CS4 I get the following error message:
There was an error launching the Adobe Help application.
You may need to re-install the application and the Help component.
When I click Help in Bridge nothing happens.
I am running Windows Vista SP2.
I have reloaded everything on the Adobe CS4 installation disk. The same problem and symptoms remain.
Any help with this problem would be appreciated. I did a search and didn't come up with anything similar.
Thank you.

My problem with photoshop and CS3 is that they are triplicating the
photographs each time I launch and Adobe seems to continue to give me the excuse
they are working on the problem of catalogues they are aware
of..................... I am into my 4 th month with this problem and still have nothing
resolved.

Edit in adobe photoshop cs4 not working

Hi there!
I have Lightroom 2.3 & Adobe Photoshop CS4 installed.
The "edit in adobe photoshop cs4" function is not working for my RAW files (DNG). When I select "edit in adobe photoshop cs4", Photoshop is started up, but it doesn't load anything. It is working for other formats like JPG/TIF/PSD, as an -EDIT version though.
Anyone any idea? Thanks in advance!

Normally, when this happens it's because the version of Camera Raw installed with Photoshop doesn't support your camera. You haven't mentioned which camera you are using, but it's probably worthwhile downloading the latest version of Camera Raw (currently 5.3, but there's a release candidate of 5.4 available from http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.4

SAVE defaults in Photoshop CS4 not working.

I shoot in RAW format and use Lightroom 3 to open all new photos. When I first do a SAVE it saves it with the Byte Order as IBM PC though I work on a MAC and want MAC. If it's a layered file it defaults to the TIFF options as ZIP (I want LZW) and IBM PC byte order and ZIP layer compression (I want RLE). I've checked all the preferences and yet it defaults to these settings. I can't just click "save", I have to do "save as" and check the selections I do want. This is drivng me crazy. I reinstalled CS4 after Photoshop suddenly stopped working, and it's been doing this ever since. Do I need to trash some system preferences or ???
Thank you.

I thought there was a way, using the channels palette, to create an
alpha channel from one of the RGB layers and use levels to blacken out
a background.
Yes there, are two ways - to use the clipboard: copy and paste the RGB layer into the alpha channel - making sure that full color composite view is visible, and the correct layer is highlighted, when you copy - and ONLY the alpha channel is selected in the channels palette when you paste.
Another way, which you may have heard ages ago, is to load the RGB grayscale - command clicking the RGB composite channel. Then create a new alpha channel from this selection- if the channel is the wrong way round invert it (command I)

Photoshop CS4 not working with Maverick?

I downloaded Maverick last night after using Photoshop CS4 all day. This morning when i tried to launch it, i got a message saying i needed to download Java SE 6 runtime. I said ok, it tries to install, but i keep getting the same error "Can not download software due to network error". I called Apple Support and they said if the software worked with Mountian Lion then it will work with Maverick I was told to call Acrobat. I did and they told me it was Apple's issue. After searching online it seems that it is Apple's issue. I tried downloading the SE 7 runtime that didn't work. Not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be apperciated.

Here is the photo :
I use a spyder to correct my display color. It seem to be blocking me from chaning the accelration.
Could that be causing the problem ?
