Photoshop CS4 (WIN11.0.2) Kodak Photo CD problem

According to this page http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/import-export-file-formats-photoshop.html -- CS4 can read Kodak Photo CD files. However, I get the message "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
I checked the Goodies folder on the Content disc for a plugin, as well as the Adobe website, but I couldn't find a plugin. I have thousands of Phot CD images. How can I make this work?

If you go here and download the Extra Content for photoshop cs3 windows, the Photo CD.8bi plugin from there should work in the
32 bit version of photoshop cs4.
Make sure you follow the Note:Very Important Instructions or the download links won't work.

Photoshop CS4 does not recognize raw photos taken with newer cameras. Anyone else have this problem?

Photoshop CS4 will not recognize RAW2 photos taken with my new Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera. This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4. I paid a lot of money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new camera, but it appears that Adobe no longer updates Camera Raw for CS4 or with newer cameras. When I called the Help Desk to find out if there was some kind of patch I could get to make CS4 compatible with my new camera a gentleman in New Delhi informed me that he couldn't even answer my question until I paid $40 since answering questions about CS4 was a "paid service." I hung up in a rage. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution?

This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4.
Adobe does indeed not update obsolete versions of Camera Raw for new camera types.
And guess what: It’s the camera producers who seem to like to change their raws – so how about spreading some of your indignation their way?

The upgrade is cheaper than buying the full version.
Anyway, you could try the free DNG Converter which should be able to handle everything the most recent version of Camera Raw can handle.

Photoshop CS4 not opening & Wacom Cintiq 20WSX driver problem

Hello,
I have been using Photoshop CS4 for quite sometime now with no issues. I have just started using a Wacom Cintiq 20WSX and installed all the necessary drivers and now Photoshop will not open (I have seen other threads relating to Intuos tablets but not the Cintiq 20WSX).
I have unistalled the Wacom drivers and Photoshop will open, on reinstalling the Wacom drivers the problem starts again "Photoshop cs4 has stopped working".
I am running Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit. Photoshop CS4 has all current updates and I am using the most recent driver for the 20WSX from Wacoms site.
Any suggestions as this is really really frustrating. (I have not yet attempted to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall it)
(Incidently I am using the Production Premium CS4 Suite and everyhting else appears to be unaffected -AE, AI are opening with no issues)
Thanks!

Hi. I had the same problems with my Intous4 as well, and since both cintiq and Intuos use the same driver it probably is the same.
Try this. Uninstall the wacom, unplug it, restart the pc. Then download the latest driver from the wacom site (if you didn't already), and install that latest driver alone, without installing the one that came with the cintiq. This is how I solved my problem, it wouldn't open PSCS4 64bit and AE

Photoshop CS4 and iMac(ATI 4850) Open GL problem?

Hi: My problem is; when I click full screen mode with menu bar options(Shortcut is F) my workshop background grey area has a colorfull noise and lines(Randomly). My machine and graphic card compatible with Open GL. Anyone know why did happen like that? Buy the way I did all updates. My guess this problem happened after Mac OSX(10.5.7) updates. How can I fix this?
Ps: My machine 2009 iMac 2.93 Ghz with ATI 4850....
Like that;
http://i42.tinypic.com/s2yv5y.png

yeah, short term test deems keeping both cards in.
So, here are the results: Notes: I have 2 monitors, an Apple 30" and Apple 23". The 30" can only be used in the dual link dvi port and NOT the Mini Display port. Second: The ATI 4870 seems to have an issue with the Mini Display port, it does not work, alone or in tandem with the dual link dvi port being used. Apple is replacing the card (heretofore, I had no cause to use the Mini Display port on the 4870 at all) Third: Only Photoshop CS4 extended was used to see if the card was detected and if it had enabled Open GL
ATI 4870 - dual link used, Mini Display NOT used: Photoshop sees the card and enables Open GL
ATI 4870 - dual link used, MIni Display used: didn't test because Mini Display port did not work.
ATI 4870 - dual link NOT used, Mini Display used: didn't test because Mini Display port did not work
Nvidia GT120 - dual link used, Mini Display NOT used: Photoshop sees the card and enables Open GL
Nvidia GT120 - dual link used, Mini Display used: Photoshop does not see the card and thus Open GL is NOT enabled.
Nvidia GT120 - dual link NOT used, Mini Display used: Photoshop does see the card and Open GL is enabled
ATI 4870 Dual link used, Nvidia GT120 Mini Display used: Photoshop does not see a card and Open GL is NOT enabled.
ATI 4870 Mini Display used, Nvidia GT120 dual link used: did not test because ATI Mini Display port did not work

Photoshop CS4 Extended Windows 7 Epson XP310 Printing Problem

I went through the resetting preference file as most of the solutions suggest. But put my preferences back because it made no difference.
Photoshop print dialogue comes up fine when I'm printing a .jpg, or a .psd photograph in photoshop. The print dialogue box shows the correct printer, and it prints the picture.
I set up an avery label template so I could design labels in photoshop, and even if the template has been finished and changed to a .jpg, the "before you can perform printer related tasks such as page setup or printing a document you need to install a printer . . ." message appears at page setup or print.
I CAN open the document in Adobe 9 Professional, save it as a pdf, or save it as a pdf in photoshop or a .tiff and it prints fine in Adobe 9. Still won't print in Photoshop.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance . . .

Want to open Kodak Photo CD files (.PCD) in Photoshop CS5. In CS4 i copied file "Photo CD.8BI" from an older version into the File Format folder. This does not work with CS5. Any fix?

I have several old Kodak Photo CD with PCD image files. I am now using Photoshop CS5. Some years ago while using Photoshop CS4 I copied a file: "Photo CD.8BI" from an older, CS2, version to the Plug-ins/File Format folder of CS4. This does not appear to work with CS5. Any fix?

It can be made to work, but you have to run the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5, and as I recall there's an additional DLL called pcdlib32.dll that's needed from the old installation.

Lightroom 3.6 to photoshop CS4

I used to use Lightroom 2, a Canon 450D and Photoshop CS4. i had no problem using Lightroom, Photo/Edit in Photoshop to open and work with my images in photoshop. i then upgraded to Lightroom 3.6 and now use a Canon 60D camera and still use Photoshop CS4. When i click Photo/Edit in Photoshop now, Phoshop CS4 opens but the image doesn't appear. What can i do to rectify this?

OK things have change here. I expect you are working with raw files from your camera.
With LR 2 and PSCS4 the ACR version are in sync i.e. LR uses the equivalent of ACR 5.x and PSCS4 uses ACR 5.x.
Now LR 3.6 has the equivalent of ACR 6.6 and PSCS4 is using ACR 5.x. Since the ACR versions are not in sync you should get a warning dialog indicating that the ACR version needs to be updated in PSCS4 but this is not possible. If you are not seeing a warning dialog you need to do the following in Lightroom 3.6 go to Edit>Preferences>General Tab> click on "Reset all warning Dialogs". You should now see a warning dialog when you select Edit in PSCS4. You should choose "edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments". This will make Lightroom create a tiff file with your adjustments and send this to CS4. ACR in PSCS4 cannot process the LR 3.6 develop settings.

PSE 7 Editing Problem using Photoshop CS4

I recently upgraded to PSE 7 and am totally confounded by a recurring problem using Photoshop CS4 as my editor for photos from PSE 7. When I enter Ctrl + H, Adobe Photoshop CS4 opens the photo just fine and I am able to edit without any issues. When I am done editing, I save the file, close Photoshop (or close the file) and the photo is immeditealy deleted from the directory even though it was just saved in the directory.
I recently re-installed Windows XP, PSE 7, and Photoshop CS4, and the problem continues. Any help or suggestions? I really prefer to use the Photoshop CS4 editor.

Thanks for the response. However, I don't believe the article you you referred to actually refers to the problem I'm having. It seeems more specific to thumbnails from .PSD files created in CS4.
However, the work-around you mentioned is a possibility for me as well. However, instead of overwriting the original, I can also save the edited file to another directory and copy it back to he directory once I exit PSE. This gets to be a REAL PAIN, though, when you're editing several photos at a sitting.
Thanks, again, for the suggestion.

Photoshop cs4 wrong exif orientation in File Info

I've been playing around with Exif orientation data, and CS4 always shows the orientation as "Normal" in File -> File Info. However, looking at the same EXIF information with other programs (e.g. Picasa), I see the appropriate rotation information, which is consistent with how I took the photos. Is this a bug in Photoshop CS4? I took the photos with an iPhone 4, by the way.

Is there a way for me to upload the file to the forum without stripping the EXIF information? Would be interested if you see the same thing on your Mac.
No; but you can upload it to an FTP server or a service like Dropbox or the free yousendit.com and post the link to it here.

How can i istall the photocd plugin of photoshop CS3 to photoshop cs4 under windows7?

How can i istall the photocd plugin of photoshop CS3 to photoshop cs4 under windows7?
i had no problem to install under windows XP, but i do not know how and where to install the windows profiles and i am not sure, if i habe just ro move the .8bi file to the directory plugins/file formats.
can anyone, please, explain me how to install the plugin into the 64bit and 32bit versions of photoshop cs4 under windows7?

Thanks for the response. Photomerge.jsx, and stack scripts only are in the scripts folder. However, I had to put them in there from cs3. Now I can get the photomerge window to open (still the cs3 version) but after I select the photos and hit ok nothing happens. I have been comparing the presets in cs3 to see what I am missing in cs4, but I cant find the missing files.

Photoshop cs4 - crash bib.dll

On a photoshop cs4 64 bit installation the program have problems running suddenly. I have worked for 6 month without problem, but now there suddenly is the problem:
I can start photoshop, but If I for example just open af empty sheet at choosing the type tool, the program stops answering and than crashes. In the eventlog of windows the error have been registered, and the file name bib.dll is mentioned.
The problem also can happend in photoshop if I do other things. In the design standard package I have, the other adobe products work fine , it is just photoshop that dont.
I have tried to upgrade to newest graphic drivers (nvidia 9800), but still the same issue
I have tried to re-install the whole software suite, but still the error

I updated to the newest software from adobe updater and it seemed to help in photoshop.
Actual when running illustrator there now seems to be some issues. It runs very very slow also when working with local files on the harddrive, and to save a 26mb file takes nearly a minute.
There are no other updates avalable to install, but do any have a clue why this suddenly illustrater is so slow

Camera Raw in PhotoShop CS4?

Hi,
As I can no longer use Adobe Bridge CS4 due to its attempts to destroy my PC.
How is it possible to access Camera Raw without opening Bridge?
I read in a book on Camera Raw (Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS4 by Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe ) that it was possible but the book did not explain how to do it.
I know that attempting to open a RAW image opens The Camera Raw plug-in, but in Bridge you could also open a JPG in Camera Raw. My camera takes RAW and JPG. So when I have JPG images taken by my camera I wanted to open and edit those in Camera Raw, but not if it means having to risk using Adobe Bridge - so I need to know how to do it in PhotoShop CS4.
Can anyone help?

This problem has been driving me nuts, however I came across what I think is the answer.
I have CS4 and Windows Vista and Adobe Raw 5.5. If I have CS4 open and then open Bridge and right click on an thumbnail in Bridge and select 'open in ACR', or 'control+R', then the dreaded 'Camera Raw is not enabled' message appears.
However, if I do not open CS4 but go directly into Bridge, then click on a thumbnail, ACR opens automatically. If I press shift and click on a thumbnail then CS4 opens. Itseems to me that it should be the other way round, 'shift+click' should open ACR and 'click' should open CS4. However this is what happens so I am learning to live with it.
If Adobe staff read this please send an update which will reverse this, therefore correcting it, or perhaps change your instructions round so that they match the reality. In any case let me know.

I have an old Kodak Photo CD (1999) and Photoshop Elements 11 on Windows 7. How can I open the .pcd images?
Please help me open these photos. They are very important to me and I need to access them.
If I can't do it with any of the software installed on my computer, would someone be willing to open them, save them as jpgs and send them to me?
Thank you so much, Nancy

You can get the plugin here by downloading the Extra Content for Photoshop CS3 File 2
Just be sure to follow Note:Very Important Instructions or the link won't work.
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
After downloading the PHSPCS3_Cont_WWE.exe, double click on it to extract the contents, probably to your desktop.
Then in the Goodies folder, Optional Plugins folder, you'll see the Kodak PhotoCD folder
Open that and copy the Photo CD.8BI to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins
Copy the profiles to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles

Transferring Windows Photoshop CS2 web photo gallery styles in Mac Photoshop CS4 web photo gallery

Hi,
My name is JatinderPal Singh. I'm migrating from Vista to MAC and before I purchase the upgrade from Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS4 I need to know that can I continue to use my existing web photo gallery styles in CS4 after installing the add-on feature. Because I know web photo gallery is not default in CS4. We need to manually add this feature. I hear from other photographers that this is a problem. Can you please confirm that this is possible
