Uninstall Photoshop CS4 and CS5

I have Photoshop CS4 and CS5 installed, CS4 also in x64 version.
Also Acrobat Pro.
I'd like to uninstall all Photoshop stuff only, i.e. not Acrobat.
Before proceeding: will the uninstall also remove all the 'other' Photoshop matters?
Bridge, Device Central etc.etc.
Thanks!

Hi
Uninstall the Adobe Creative Suite product through Add or Remove Programs Control (Windows XP) or the Programs And Features Control Panel (Windows Vista/Windows 7)
and select the program one by one and click on uninstall

Two versions of Bridge installed - CS5 and CS5.1 - how to remove one?

Looks like this happened by installing Photoshop CS5.1 first, then Flash CS5 after that. Now I have two versions of Adobe Bridge, along with Extension Manager and a bunch of other redundant stuff now
This is causing me multiple problems:
1) the right-click menu "Browse with Adobe Brigde CS5" is set to the old version. Probably because it installed afterward (?). This is no good. I want it to default to the newer version obviously.
2) I am getting a lot of performance errors - the "not enough drive space" kind of error, when I just try to zoom in on a single small image in a folder with only a couple images in it. Bear in mind I have 12GB of RAM running here.
How do uninstall the old versions!?? Note, I ALSO have an old old version of Adobe Bridge that came from an install of some CS2 components!!! It's out of control and aggravating.
Please help

It is usually recommeded you keep old versions rather than removing them. Some users run in to file association problems when removing older versions. The file association goes back to the version removed if you can comprehend that.
The versions should not conflict with one another. HOWEVER, you can run only one Bridge version at a time.
It is also recommended you install programs in order. So if you installed the newer one first and then the older one you can upset the file associate order. You can try to fix that first and then uninstall if that does not work. Go go edit.file type associations see what the dafault programs are listed as CS5 or CS5.1. There is a radio button on the bottom to reset these to factory default, and this sometimes works.
If not I would uninstall CS5 and CS5.1 and install the older one first. Or if you don't want CS5 on machine just install CS5.1. To be on the safe side you could run Adobe Script cleaner which will delete bits that the uninstall process did not get.

Flex not embedding metadata in CS5 and CS5.5

I believe we have a problem related to:
http://blog.natebeck.net/2011/05/flex-sdk-4-5-doesnt-keep-embed-metadata/
The project is a CS4 fla that has numerous files embedded with metadata tags:
[Embed(source = "campaign.xml", mimeType = "application/octet-stream")] public static var campaignData:Class;
[Embed(source="mirror.pbj", mimeType="application/octet-stream")] public static var MirrorShader:Class;
[Embed(source="rotateCW.pbj", mimeType="application/octet-stream")] public static var RotateCWShader:Class;
[Embed(source = "shopUpgrades.json", mimeType = "application/octet-stream")] public static var upgradesData:Class;
[Embed(source = "help.txt", mimeType = "application/octet-stream")] public static var helpData:Class;
None of the embedded data is being loaded in when compiled with CS5 or CS5.5
This is a serious issue for us as it means that all of our Flash 10 projects are now uncompilable in CS5 and CS5.5 and we are unable to make money on these projects.
What work around can we implement to solve this?

what exactly is your requirement. I have been able to read and write using property XMPString
this is the way to start, refer to extended toolkit documentation for XML class.
var oXML = new XML(app.activeDocument.XMPString);

Retrieve CS5 and CS5.5 installation path from registry

Hello,
I have Photoshop CS5 and CS5.5 (5.1) installed on my PC. I want to retrieve installation path for both but in registry i am able to see only CS5.5 (5.1) path. From where i can retrieve CS5 installation path?
I think registry entry for CS5 is replaced by CS5.1. Is it possible to retrieve CS5 installation path?
Thanks.

Hi Carl,
I had looked at the link you posted earlier too.. I see that you had posetd the answer then too! So, I can post my queries to you directly!
I created a jsx file named "Result.jsx", which I saved in my D drive, with the following code,
resultFile = new File("D:/result.log");
resultFile.open("w");
resultFile.write(BridgeTalk.__diagnostics__);
resultFile.close();
If I run this directly from ESTK, there is no problem, and I get the result.log file. I tried to execute this script via command line as shown in the screenshot,
On executing the above, I got the following error,
What am I doing wrong? I need to do this urgently. Please suggest a solution..
Thanks!

Different versions of Adobe Creative Suite Compatibility (CS5 and CS5.5)

Our marketing team has two different versions of Adobe Creative Suite (CS5 and CS5.5). We can save the CS5.5 down to an IDML document so users with CS5 can open/manipulate the file but it reduces the file size significantly. What I do not know is if this saving down process reduces the quality of the file?? I am relatively inexperienced with these programs as I am self-taught. Thanks for your help!

IDML is good for repairing files.
But IDML is not good to be used as exchange in a workflow because every export of IDML can change things in an unexpected way. So I would strongly recommend that everyone in the department involved in the workflow uses the very same version, anything else will let you struggle in a later point of time. When I have to exchange files with a client I use always their versions and avoid IDML in exchanging files in any case possible.
Between CS5.0 and 5.5 are also several changes possible, because some bugs related to the text engine became fixed. E.g. in CS5 if you had an automatic TOC or cross reference in a text frame with 1 or 3 round corners and 3 or 1 normal corners, automatic number got shuffled in that frame, like page 345 became 543. When this was fixed some changes in the text engine have been done.

Indesign CS5 and CS5.5 missed INX

If cant able to delete the colors from swatchs that time export to inx and open it in text editor and find the color value and just delete it in Indesign CS3.,
But we missed inx in CS5 and CS5.5, Hope everybudy know that .INX is replaced by IDML,
If in case we face the above issue how can we solve it,

If this is just to delete colour swatches that you can't get rid of any other way there's a faster way that might work.
Make an object that uses the swatch.
Cut that object to a new InDesign document.
Save and close that new document.
Place that new document into the original document.
Delete it.
You should be able to now delete the swatch.
It's taken me longer to type this than it would have to do it!

Adding Flash Player 11 support to Flash Pro CS5 and CS5.5

Yes you could but that also displays the debug movie console which is uneccessary if you just want to quickly test your movie.
I find myself using Test Movie hundreds of times a day and I just want a clean, quick, uncluttered view of how my work will look.
I do use Debug Movie but only occasionally.
More importantly though is that I'm not sure FP11 is ready yet. Its got a pretty horrible bug that really affects my work:

Full Screen in CS5 and CS5.1 is not Supporting the Menus Items like CS4
This is happening while working in the balck screen and using shortkut Keys for top menu. the tools are woring, but while using Alt Key to choosing the menu item. its not supporting. like the older vesions
please answer me

Can you please be a little more clear about what you expect it to do vs. what it's doing.
Are you using the "Full Screen With Menus" mode or the complete "Full Screen" mode? I just tried the "Full Screen With Menus" mode and was able to use the Alt key to initiate menu operations.

Indesign CS5 and CS5.5 crash on new document / Lion 10.7

Hello!
In our agency we encountered a problem since upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7. Both our Indesign CS5 and CS5.5 keep crashing on us whetver we open an existing document or create a new one. We tried to clean-up our installations, deleted both, installed just CS5 and/ CS5.5 - trashed preferences etc. pp. Nothing worked.
Indesign opens like it should - but the moment we create a document it just hangs with the spinning ball - does anyone else can recreate the issue? We use no plugins in indesign only the app "Fontcase" from the Appstore to maintain our collection of fonts.. but we even tried to deactivate this app to see if it helps - no success.
We currently cant set up the system new since it is time consuming and just our last choice.. is there some other way to find the problem? We also never see the adobe crash-reporter.. not even after 10-15 minutes as stated in the lion os x issue list.
Thanks!

Ah, this is easy.

Flash CS5 and CS5.5 Crash when compiling

Hey,
We're running into an issue where CS5 and CS5.5 are crashing when compiling an FLA. Our class structure is rather large, and it seems flash is running out of memory. We narrowed it down to commenting/uncommenting any line of code will let it compile or crash. I can literally open any as file from our project, comment out 1 line of code and it will compile, comment it back in and flash crashes. Has anyone run into something like this before, and have any advice on fixing it?

Hi Morf,
I can't reproduce your crash. Can you please send me the file up to the point where you saved? Please zip the file, change .zip extension to .zzz, email the attachment to my attention at [email protected]
Thanks,

Photoshop CS5 and CS5 Extended upgrade confusion

Hello,
I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS5 from CS2 in the last couple of weeks as I was in need of a program to edit videos in and wanted to upgrade my Photoshop anyways. However, I soon realized that you cannot edit videos in CS5 and it is instead CS5 Extended that I needed. Unfortunate, I know. Should have done my research .
If I wished to have Extended now, is upgrading YET AGAIN from regular CS5 the only option I have or is there some other option to switch what I bought, pay the difference, and get what I needed in the first place?
Thanks!

There is no "swap", indeed you'd have to buy a sidegrade. But frankly, and I really don't mean to be rude, "editing" videos in Photoshop? Seriously? Unless your kind of editing focuses on paint-centric stuff like rotoscoping or artsy effects or you do animatzed web banners at most, this is slightly more than insane. PS doesn't deal with even some basic stuff that's commonly associated with video/ film processing and even Premiere Elements can do many things better not to speak of the "big" Premiere, After Effects and other such tools.

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...

Can you run Photoshop CS3 and CS5 on the same system?

I did this before on another system where I had both CS2 and CS3 installed and I could run either version when I wanted. Back then I just never bothered to uninstall CS2.
Now on this system I'm tunning CS3 and I have some plug ins I use regularly that aren't compatible with CS5 and I don't want to lay out the cash again for them. So I'd like to be able to install CS5 and use it primarily but when I need to use the plug ins then just switch to CS3.
I've noticed many programs these days won't run on top of another version. So is there any reason I won't be able to run both?

Absolutely. All versions of Photoshop can coexist simultaneously, though you can only run one at a time.
It's usual not to install the old version until you're sure the new one is working great. If you have the space, never uninstall it. It's handy to have it around for answering questions, here for example.
