Photoshop CS5 will not launch

Photoshop CS5 will not launch either from the desktop or program list. The only way to launch is to log out and restart the computer. At the end of each session I reset the preferences in the Workspace. I am running Win 7 ultimate with 4GB of ram. System is 64 bit . Display is ATI Radeon HD 5700 series. Adapter type is AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x68B8). The computer has an Intel(R) series/3400 Chipset Family.
When I installed from the disk I received the message Exit Code 6, 0 fatal errors, 21 errors, 1 warning. I have reinstalled several times and still get the same message. Tried disabling start up items while installing but same message.

One thing that sort of jumps out at me, regarding running the program, is that 4GB of RAM. With a 64-bit OS, 4GB is just about the minimum to run the OS, with little to nothing left over for a program, like Photoshop. I would bump that up, and to 12 - 16GB, if possible.
For the installation, I think that Mylenimum has posted some very useful links.
Good luck,
Hunt

Photoshop CS5 will not open

My photoshop CS5 will not open either from the desktop or from the program list. I can open Bridge but when I then try to view a photo in photoshop I get a message that says Bridge has stopped working and will have to close down.

Please read below item and provide relevant information.

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
"There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks for the ideas!

Photoshop CS5 will not open raw files from Nikon D810. What do I need?

Photoshop CS5 (bought in 2011) will not open raw files from Nikon D810 (bought in 2014). Is there a patch? Is there something I can do?

Photoshop CS5 will not start after Outlook

If I start Outlook (Office 2007) as the first application after loading OS (Win 7 Ult, 64 bit), Photoshop CS5 will not open (message: "needs to close down). I then have to log off and in again and start Photoshop before Outlook to get it to work. I seem to remember having this kind of problem some years ago - but do not remember whats caused this problem. Is there anybody out there having the same kind of trouble? Or even better - the solution?

Hmm... I have CS5 Master Collection, and MS Office 2007, and I have never had any problems opening ANY program, in ANY order
My hardware and OS is linked here... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 - you might want to post details in case someone is able to spot a problem based on more information

Photoshop CC will not launch after deleting and re-installing Lightroom

Yesterday, I contacted Adobe support because I could not get my Lightroom trial version to convert to my CC subsciption. I was told to delete the Lightroom app by dragging it to the trash and re-installing. I did this, and it fixed my problem with Lightroom, but now my Photoshop CC will not launch. I am on Mac OS Mountain Lion. I have tried launching from the dock and from the finder both.

Reinstall the original 5.2 and forget the CC version for now. It's exactly the same piece of software. What you did get was a second license, useful if you have more than two machines, but completely redundant if you haven't.
The situation is different when Lr 6 comes out. You'll get that as part of CC and don't need to purchase the upgrade. So at that point you can just install CC and leave 5.x where it is.

Photoshop suddenly will not launch

Hello,
photoshop suddenly will not launch.
a dialog box displays: "Can not open a work file because the file is locked or you do not have access privileges necessary Use the command." Properties "in Windows Explorer to unlock the file." appeared 2 times every time I want to run photoshop.
Win 7 64bit
SSD (temporary files on another partition)
Photoshop 64bit
It is possible to open photoshop as qu'adminsitrateur but I do little more import files drag and drop. (Very unpleasant, I lose a lot of time)
This is the second time it happens, I reformatted my PC for 8 days, it is parfairtement own.
A tool, an idea?

Your response in no way applies to my message to you. I did not submit a print screen nor did I submit a image to you of any dialogeue box. Your canned response is simpy pathethic. Due to your and Adobe's inabilty and/or lack of interest in supporting paid customers' difficulties with your software, I will continue to run assorted fix-it scans and attempt to fix Adobe's inabilty to launch on my own.
I will be seeking an alternative to your software - I can no longer rele y upon Adobe - which I have been using for at least 12 years...please notify Adobe that they have lost the long standing allegiance of a user - of the largest winery of the world. BIG mistake! Once I find an alternative, I will now do my best to convert the entire winery to the alternative. All of this originated because I purchased the Photosoft 7.0 software for use to benefit a local non-profit that the winery has been supporting for 45 years - HUGE mistake on Adobe. Hopefully, this will teach them a lesson.
Just because a customer appears to be a individual user does not mean that they do not have influeunce elsewhere...the company that you suport is about to lose a huge looser. It is Adobe's loss...there are plenty of other alternatives out there.
I work full time to support myself financially...and I volunteer my time to a local non-profit art gallery (where I am on the executive board) to support my artistic interests....shame on Adobe for ignoring the individual just because they appear to be a simple user. By the way...I also sit on two boards at the local college....my research on alternatives to Adobe will certainly be shared with them - especially in these budget cutting times.

We need to look at the whole log, and forward it to the ServiceManager team.

My photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d

my photoshop cs5 will not recognize raw photos from my canon eos 70d

No. DNG is a RAW format. There are a few small manufacturer specific items that are left out when converted to RAW (for example, Nikon's Active D lighting) that aren't maintained, as well as some Meta data and focus points, etc. Personally I never noticed the difference, but perhaps some do. There is no impact to the image quality, you have just as much post production freedom with DNG.
I did it for a couple years before upgrading to CS6. It's an extra step, but you get used to it and it's not a huge deal. I would put my card in my reader, and download to a temp file. While that downloaded I would go to the fridge and grab a beer [Edit - you can substitute the beverage of your choice ]. Then I would run the RAW to DNG converter, and drink my beer. It was usually done before my beer (if not I got another). I saved the CR2 files as a backup at first, but once I got comfortable trusting DNG I stopped doing that.
Another option is to get Lightroom and use that for your developing. You can then send over a TIFF file with the edits. But in this situation you couldn't send the image over as a smart object (I think, I assume this would use ACR?).

I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
Thank you.
Brian in the UK.

Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion, now photoshop CS5 will not open

I order photo prints using one of the Roes software programs. I needed to update Java to 7, and to Mountain Lion and now neither the Roes or Photoshop CS5 will open.

These are the versions of iPhoto that are and are not compatible with Mavericks:
What version of iPhoto are you running? What happens when you try to launch iPhoto? Any message?

Photoshop CS5 will not open in one of four accounts why

I have an issue with Photoshop not opening in one of my four accounts on my MacPro. I had t change my bootup drive to a larger one. Now, whenever I try to open Photoshop CS5 in my primary standard account it says that it cannot find the scratch disk and so can't launch. This is very strange because it will launch just fine in the Admin and two other Standard accounts. I have checked preferences to make sure that the proper disks are selected. I have deleted both preferences files in my standard account. All to no avail. Can someone shed some light on this issue, please? Thanks.MBJ
PS All updates applied.

Thank you all for your help.
The scanner options are to save as JPEG/Exif, TIFF or BMP (with standard, low compression or high compression).
I've just scanned a colour photo and saved it in all three formats (standard compression). All the files now open in PS, with the Camera Raw preview screen (which I've never seen before!).
I've also scanned a black and white drawing, both as a B&W photo and as a B&W document, and saved these scans as TIFFs. Both these now open in PS. The older files that I have not been able to open in PS still do not open. (These files open in MSoft Picture Manager and Quicktime Picture Viewer - though the quality is awful in Picture Viewer.)
It seems to me that whatever was causing the problem might have been 'cured' by some recent software update.
Do you think this is the likely answer? If you'd still be interested to look at one of the rogue files then I could upload one.
Thanks

Photoshop CS5 will not open some tiff files

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and I'm using Photoshop CS5 as my default program for opening .jpg and .tif files.
Recently I installed a new scanner (Canon Lide210) and I usually save the scanned images as .tif files (for manipulation later).
Images in .tif format saved from scans with my old Canon scanner (that does not work with Windows 7) open fine in Photoshop but images from the new scanner will not open (message says 'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop').
Can anyone help with this? I always thought tifs were tifs and didn't realise there could be different 'versions'.
I do a lot of detailed artwork and it's important that I can work with tif files (and preferably with this new scanner!!)
Thanks for your help
