Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS4 : any conflicts?

I'd like to upgrade Photoshop to CS 5 and am wondering if there'd be problems with Illustrator when both were necessary.....any ideas? thanks much..mm

None at all Photoshop CS5 works well with Illustrator CS4 on both platforms for myself and have not seen any other reports.
If you have not heard be careful of upgrading to Mac OS 10.5.5 or 10.5.6, as there is a keyboard modifier problem that gets introduced to Adobe Apps from the Mac OS updates. Though there is no official solution that works every time, you can search these forums for 10.5.5 or 10.5.6 and find a variety of possible solutions.

Need to redownload Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator cs5

My computor crashed the other day and i lost everything. I had to buy a new computer and I need to redownload photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5

You can download the trial version of the software using the link below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site.

Can't export an EPS file from Photoshop CS5 and open in Illustrator CS5.

I'm on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
I am making DVD covers for print. The barcodes for the DVD covers have to be done in Illustrator. But the original designs are done in photoshop including the text. For years this hasn't been a problem. Right before adding the barcodes I create an EPS file from photoshop, open that file in Illustrator and all my text is automatically coverted to perfect crisp clean vectors, viola! I add the barcodes and export the PDF for the printers.
But now I can't open my EPS files in Illustrator CS5 even though I'm exporting them the same way I always have from Photoshop CS5. Illustrator says... "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error." --> Note it does not give an error number after this warning like I see it does for so many other people.
I have been trying to fix this for over 10 HOURS spanning 2 days! I'm infuriated I can't get help from Adobe on this and have read all the forums and don't see my problem listed anywhere.
I've tried:
- Deleting the .plist file and the Settings folder & resetting my permissions
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling Illustrator
- Turning off all other applications
- Creating more disk space on my hard drive (even though I have 200gb available)
- Restarting the computer
- Disabling my Font book and still I can't open the EPS file
I thought maybe it's possible it's the font I'm using Fontesque OT so I even tried converting text to objects prior to exporting the EPS file from photoshop to illustrator and turning off my font book, but still it won't open. And if I open the PSD directly in Illustrator, text comes out a bit fuzzy in the PDF I export.
If anyone can provide any solutions I would be so grateful! I'm at my wits end here, this should have taken under an hour to do and now it's ruining my entire weekend. I'm completely panicked because I was suppose to have these to my client over the weekend so they could turn them in for Print frist thing on Monday morning and of course Adobe provides no chat support or phone support after 7pm on weekday or on the weekend which is when this all started.

I never even thought of reinstalling photoshop, but I think this was a font issue. I'd never saved an EPS with Fontesque OT Regular enabled, only Fontesque OT Bold. Somehow I think the font was causing the problem because ridding the font from the equation allowed me to open the EPS file.
After 12 HOURS of trying different things I found a WORK AROUND...
I had to:
- Select the Text in Photoshop (with Fontesque OT enabled) --> Select Create Work Path --> Covert to Shape on each of the text items
- Save EPS file out of Photoshop
- Disable Fontesque OT font in Font Book
- Then open EPS in Illustrator add in my Barcodes and export the PDF
(the barcodes have to be added in Illustrator because they need to be pure 100% black with no CMYK color in them. You can't save them out of Photoshop that way, only Illustrator, otherwise I would have made my pdf straight out of photoshop like any other normal human
This work around is the only way I could get the EPS files to open in Illustrator and still have the text remain super crisp like a vector.
NOTE to others in the future about crisp text from Photoshop to Illustrator:
- Simply "converting to shape" did not preserve the vector. You have to Select Create Work Path --> then Covert to Shape on each of the text items (with the font enabled) for this to work and preserve the crispness of the text. Even creating "smart object" did not truly preserve my vectors or the text crispness in the EPS file once I imported it into Illustrator.
DrStrik9 thank you SO MUCH for trying to help me. You did give me ideas that helped me figure out the workaround and also helped me feel not so alone as I struggled through this. I'm going to follow up with your other suggestions about reinstalling photoshop and also checking my RAM, etc. But I just want to that you so so so SOOOO much for all your time and consideration in this matter. I hope you have a wonderful amazing week ahead and that someone does something very nice and thoughtful for you too

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.

Can files created in cs5.5 design premium be saved so they open in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS4?

Can files created in cs5.5 design premium be saved so they open in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS4?

Yes, you can save compatible files as long as you obey the rules like not using unsupported features such as nested groups, per group clipping masks, smart objects and several other things in Photoshop and use the "Maximize Compatibility" option. Illustrator will simply expand the appearance of objects or rasterize/ flatten them when going back to older versions if a feature is not available or changed in those old versions.

Photoshop cs5 and cs4, photoshop help...f1 why online

Hi
i have installed on w7 photoshop cs5 and photoshop cs4
well when i try to read the manual (the help files) clicking F1 or under the menu Help-> Photoshop Help F1 ,photoshop cs5 and cs4 connect to the net
for example cs4 opens a firefox page with the help guides
cs5 opens a windows connected to internet
for example i need to know some shortcut and i have to be connected to the net
that's weird
is there a way to use the offline help? like cs3
thanks

You can download the help files as a PDF from the Photoshop Support pages.
If you want to access the offline help files from F1, you have to disconnect PS from the Internet.
If you want to turn off Community Help so that local Help opens by default, do the following:
   1. Open the Connections panel (Window > Extensions > Connections).
   2. From the Connections panel menu , select Offline Options.
   3. Select Keep Me Offline and click OK.
Note: When you disable web services from the Connections panel, all other web services (such as Adobe Kuler and Adobe ConnectNow) are also disabled.

Are there any issues with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10?

Are there any known issues with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10? I heard I would need an older Java version to start it.
[ spammy links removed by admin ]

You'll need to reinstall Photoshop CS5 after installing the MacOS 10.10 update -- for some reason the OS updater stomps on some of the Photoshop files.

Updated Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator on 6/18, now nothing will open: Error 16

Updated Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator on 6/18, now nothing will open: Error 16. None of the Error 16 fixes using the SLS Store and Adobe PCD folder permissionms work. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work. Been on the phone with Adobe 5 times since this happened on June 18. Probalby spent 5 hours on the phone with 4 different tech people. I'm waiting for a callback, but the Adobe guy tells me it will be 2 days. Others muct have this same problem....any fixes? HELP!
PS- Also made a new user account and tried opening with that, thinking it was a permissions problem. Still Error 16. Frustrating.....can't work if I don't have the software.

DeLisiArt, Which OS do you have? Just make sure you have followed the below article completely. http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html
Also, Yes, it is for sure a permission issue. So, i would recommend you to try the below suggestions depending on your OS:
For Windows:
Turn off User Account Control - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-user-account-control-uac.html
Enable the hidden admin account and check if the applications launch fine there - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3040.enable-disable-the-local-h idden-built-in-administrator-account-in-windows-7.aspx
For Mac:
Repair Disk Permissions : http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/11.5/en/7070.html
Enable Root user and check if the applications launch fine there : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528

Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6 - PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator immediately shuts down after startup

I'm troubleshooting for a customer who have Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6.
His programs suddenly wont start, they launches and starts to read plug-ins and open up a workspace, but then without warning/error it shuts down. no log, error message or anything...
It's the same for PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator both in 32 bit and 64.
He is running the suit on a Hp EliteBook 8560p with Windows 7 Pro x64 sp1.
He also have had a Wacom Bamboo CTE 650 penpad installed before.
This is what I've done so far:
* Uninstall the whole suit and reinstalled it again (Done this 3-4 times, manually deleted regestry-files, used CClean and other cleaning tools)
* Deleted the wacom-drivers with controlpanel tool, Windows driver Clean tool, CClean and manually deleted registry-keys and files.
* Uninstall Anti-Virus software and replaced it with another, inactivated AV and Windows Firewall.
* Deleted register-files for the suits and "reregister" them again.
* Full patch both for windows and adobe softwares.
* Reboot between each step
Any suggestions?
I have to add that adobe support for this $2000 software really sucks...
Thanks!
// Rikard

Problem solved!
I went through all the folders associated with adobe cs6 and renamed them (one by one) so they would be recreated.
I did this before but seems like I missed this specific one.
Anyway, when I renamed the folder "SLCache" in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ and then ran the applications one by one as administrator I was prompted to enter a serial-key again and log in to my Adobe-ID.

The difference between photoshop eps and illustrator eps

Before installing snow leopard, Quark Xpress could distinguish between photoshop eps and illustrator eps files when a file needed to be modified. Now all it does is open files in only one item of software (depending on which you have told it to open files in). It's very inconvenient
Anyone got any ideas?

It sounds like you may have assigned EPS files to open in a particular app. That causes anything ending in .eps to open in that app, and the OS ignores the rest of the UTI (Uniform Type Identifiers) data.
About the only way to fix it is to clear the LaunchServices database. Close all running applications. Open the Terminal and copy/paste the following line and press Enter:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Close the Terminal and immediately restart. The OS will build a new database based on the installed applications. EPS files created by a particular application should now open in that app.

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

Any ideas?

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Epson wf 35-20 version 9.04. Photoshop quits. OS 10.9.3.

Running Adobe Photoshop CS5 and when I try and print using Epson wf 35-20 version 9.04, Photoshop quits. Have OS 10.9.3. Any advice sincerely appreciated....

Hi Chris thanks for emailing. I originally emailed Epson about this issue and they said it is something you should contact Adobe about!
When I hit print, the colour wheel turns and then the application quits.   then get the following:

Photoshop CS5 and Epson 9900, Win 7, 64bits

Hi,
I recently upgraded from photoshop cs3 to cs5 and now all of my prints on epson 9900 large format printer come out too dark. The same pictures printed with cs3 look good but not on cs5. How can I fix it? Is there a patch for this issue on Adobe website? Just to clarify: same image printed on CS3 looks good but printed with CS5 looks too dark. It can't be the printer driver issue since there is one driver for both version of Photoshop (6.62, most recent).
I have Photoshop CS5 and Epson 9900, Windows 7, 64bits.
I have "Photoshop manages colors" selected and "no color management" for printer - I know the proper set up, I've been doing this for quite some time, so it's definitely not the settings issue or media profile issue. Well, the same settings are use with CS3 and CS5 but results are different, that's why I think it's photoshop's fault. If I can't print color managed prints than CS5 is useless to me.
Any ideas? I have seen post reg. this but no solution and they go back few years back. Has Adobe finally addressed the issue?
Please, help.

Hi Chris,
I have the latest patch 12.0.4 but it does not solve the problem. What kind of "user error" are you talking about? As I stated before: I use the same settings in both version of PS: photshop manages color, printer profile: my canvas media profile, BPC: on. In print settings: mode: custom (off, no color adjustment), media type: my canvas type. There is no room for "user error" here.
As for driver bugs: are you referring to Epson driver? I have the latest driver v6.62. What else can I do? Did i skip something?
Well, of course I'm using Windows (64bits), so I guess there is lots of room for error there, right , but I don't think it's OS since it prints fine in CS3 but not in CS5.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
