Photoshop CS6 interfering with Photoshop CS2?

I was able to use Photoshop CS6 beta on the same machine as Photoshop CS2 without any problems. I uninstalled the beta and installed the release version of Photoshop CS6. When I ran Photoshop CS2, it "hung." The small initial popup that is supposed to show the names of the development team and the start-up status messages shows up -- but only as a white rectangle.
I rebooted the computer and tried again with nothing else running -- and got the same result.
Thinking the installation program might have a Repair option, I launched Control Panel and selected Add/Remove Programs. Photoshop CS2 does not appear in the list of installed applications.
How can I fix Photoshop CS2?

Thanks, Jeff.
I tried a program called "Speedy PC" from Pareto; it could be the culprit. (I had not tried to run PS CS2 after installing the release version of PS CS6, so I don't know if it stopped working as part of the CS6 installation -- or because something the Pareto software did.)
Installation disks, installation disks -- I know I had them when I installed the software six years ago......

I am using a computer with CS6 installed, but would like to install Photoshop CS2.

Running Mavericks on an iMac early 2009 vintage; with a full edition of CS6. I would like to utilize Photoshop CS2 but the install program will not allow this. Is there a workaround? Any thoughts on the subject will be appreciated. Thanks for looking.

The simple truth is the Adobe has added bugs into Photoshop they are unwilling to fix. They do not fix bugs reported by users that have given us scripts like Image Processor Pro so these outstanding users leave here. Adobe has broken users work-flows removing features they used like Picture Package and Oil Painter. Lightroom is a heavy load to bear just to get jQuery and brrige output web gallerises can nor be customized well. You don't need light room to use jQuery.
Not all Web Photo galleries were flash based. In fact the Html web galleries are the ones you can customize well. If all Adobe wanted to do was remove Flash web galleries they could have for the support they added for Flash galleries like simpleviewer was not well done and did not take advantage of the customization that simplviewer supports.
Though with my subscription I can download and install Lightroom I don't. I tried some of the Lightroom betas which show me I did not want to used it so it was renoved. If Adobe wanted to change how one Process RAW files why did the not also change ACR why make users learn two user interfaced for raw processing. Lightroon is not a full fledged image editor you need an image processor like Photoshop with Layers support to be able to blend raw conversions to bring out some details. If your a business Lightroom Library may god send and something your IT staff can deal with. For me Lightroom is a maintenance burden I don't need.
Using Adobe Products means high maintenance Adobe release code before they should bug force user to work around them and use older working version of Photoshop. Adobe support is not what it should be reported acknowledge bugs go unfixed release after release. Photoshop is powerful but has a high cost and I'n not talking money here IMO Photoshop price has always been reasonable for what what you can do with it. You need to put in a lot of work into Photoshop to get value out of it. Photoshop is not suitable for the general public.

Suffice it to say, the features in CS2 were all good in their day but that was almost a decade ago. A lot has changed since then.
Most of the features in CS2 are still in CC 2014. HTML web galleries are still relevant today. Photographer still want to sell Picture packages which CC 2014 can no longer create. Many thing were change in Photoshop some for the better like the removal of the extract plugin which was poor at best. Photmerge and other features were greatly improves. Still not all changes made were good. The quality of Photoshop code is not as good as it use to be...

Save with Maximize Compatibility in CS6.
Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
From the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility menu, choose any of the following:
Always
Then re-save your file so it can open in CS2

Any known compatible issues between Illustrator CS6 & Photoshop CS2?

Any known compatible issues between Illustrator CS6 & Photoshop CS2?? thanks alot.

What exactly do you want to do with both the apps?
Since the exchange of files from AI to PS is based on PDF, I wouldn't expect problems. The only question is, if Photoshop CS2 will be able to read PDF 1.5, since that's the format AI CS6 embeds in its files. If it doesn't work, you could still save a PDF from AI and make it any other PDF version.
Illustrator can read lower version PSD.
Copy-Paste might be a problem. I can't experiment, since I don't have that PS version any more.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 with Leopard?

Has anyone got experiences with Photoshop CS2 and or InDesign 2.0 and Leopard?
I know, if problems occur there will be no help from Adobe, but how bad might the problems be?
Any experiences or advices?

I just started running into a new problem while trying to resize fonts in Photoshop CS2. When manually scaling up or down outside of the given size list (6, 8, 9, 10, etc.), the number input field seems to get a little confused and disregards your request. When hitting Enter, it applies a space. Sometimes if I click off and then back onto the input field, and then type my number in it will work about 50% of the time.
Oh yeah, and Photoshop simply crashes from time to time. It doesn't recall having the particular file open that you were just working on, so you essentially never really worked on it. At this point I'm just going to assume this is acceptable program behavior to both Adobe and Apple.

Photoshop CS2 obsolete with an Olympus E-3

I just received my new Olympus E-3 this week and it is a very impressive professional DSLR camera. I have to say that I am exceedingly disappointed with Adobe right now as it looks like they are no longer supporting Photoshop CS2 even though it is only one revision old. With the latest updates I can use their digital negative converter (which I wish more camera manufacturers would support) and my Photoshop Elements 5.0, including Camera RAW, works with the E-3 ORF/RAW files. Photoshop CS2 apparently has no plug-in for it, the latest Camera RAW doesn't work in it or in Bridge, and it no longer accepts new .dng files sent to it from PSE5. It is now largely useless to me as I can't used it until the photos are degraded .jpg's.
I am on Vista, so is their anything I need to do, or is my analysis above correct? CS-2 over CS had enough to make me upgrade, CS-3 over CS-2 didn't.

Nobody likes the fact that to get the latest raw support for the latest
camera (without hoop jumping) you have to upgrade Photoshop. Most of don't
think it is fair. However, there are some things to keep in mind.
1. Each new major release of Photoshop brings massive updates to ACR. These
updates would not be an easy or really cost effective thing to do for older
versions of ACR.
2. It is very likely that updates to ACR are not solely in ACR itself. I
would imagine that some changes have to be made to Photoshop to. This means
they couldn't update ACR to work with CS2 because CS2 is lacking things that
would be needed. Things that are only in CS3.
3. Even if Adobe charged $19.95 for the ACR upgrade for Photoshop CS2 if
they couldn't bring it inline with CS3's ACR but only could add support for
new cameras people would still complain.
4. There is a work around, download the latest DNG converter program, it is
free and convert your raw images to DNG. This is in my book a good thing
anyways. Just as soon as DNG becomes and ISO standard it will be the safest
raw format available. In other words it will be the most future proof raw
format we will have. Once your files are converted to DNG you can then load
them in to the ACR that comes with CS2.
Myself, I think the mistake Adobe made was not making the camera support a
plug-in for ACR. By doing this they could have simply updated ACR as they
wished giving you the new version with each new version of Photoshop, but
allowed people with the old versions to use new cameras because you would
only have to download new profile plug-ins for new cameras. I don't see new
cameras as being a major reason to upgrade ACR. I see the new features and
improvements made to each new version of ACR more of an upgrade draw than
new camera support. I think Adobe would have lost very little income by
designing ACR to support new cameras by doing plug-ins. I would still have
upgraded from CS2 to CS3.
Of course there is also the new upgrade policy. Photoshop 7 is the oldest
version you can now use to upgrade to Photoshop CS3. If you have a version
older than 7 you have to buy the full Photoshop package, you can't upgrade.
When Photoshop CS4 comes out then CS1 will be the oldest version you can use
to upgrade. So sooner rather than later unless you like to buy full packages
instead of upgrades one is going to have to upgrade anyways.
Myself I would use the DNG converter now and then upgrade Photoshop when CS4
comes out. I figure CS4 is less than a year away.

Photoshop CS2 crashes when importing with Mustek A3 scanner

First off, yes, I know I have an old version of Photoshop. When I got my new Macbook a year or 2 ago I was only able to scan via TWAIN using Photoshop CS2, and it has been the best way.
However, lately the scanning has been buggy. I've had no problems using PS as a whole, but sometimes when I got to Import < ScanExpress A3 USB 1200 Pro it'll scan halfway and crash, or the program will just outright crash. Today I've spent about 2 hours just trying to scan one image. It managed to work once, and now it crashes every time I try scanning.
These are the specs of what I'm using:
Mac OSX 10.6.7
Photoshop CS2
Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB Pro
Any help is appreciated. I need to use this scanner daily for work - If I can't get these images scanned then I don't get paid!
EDIT: Here's the crash report I get.

Perhaps a full uninstall will help. here is the link to the OSX uninstaller and drivers.

Then proceed to reinstall the OSX 10.6 driver for that scanner.

I am using a Photoshop cs2, and I wonder if it is possible to keep the settings of the guidelines when closing an image, with the actual document ? It would be nice to have the guidelines locked down, I find it than when opening the same or another image, the guidelines are not locked, it is annoying to have to lock them down again. and it would actually be nice, to ba able to give specific directions when placing the guidelines. Thanks

Then why are the guides unlocked when I reopen a document that I saved with the guides locked ?
Thanks.

Photoshop CS2: "file not compatible with this version of Photoshop" error

So, I've been working with Photoshop for almost 20 years now, and lately I've been getting this error message on occasion (but not on every file) when I go to open a file I worked on just yesterday: "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." I just worked on it yesterday in Photoshop. The file was saved as a PSD, and when I attempt to open it through Painter IX, that program tells me that it's not a Photoshop document. Why can't I open this file anymore, and why is it giving me this error message when I don't have Norton AntiVirus installed, and my 'maximize PSD and PSB file compatibility' is set to 'always'??
Does anyone have an idea on how I can open my file? How can I get around this, and how do I prevent it from happening again?

This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please
cease and desist immediately
in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the
CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

jpg does not support Layers.
Just to make sure, what exactly do you mean by "stacking photos" and what do you want to achieve thereby?

Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
Thank you,
Eric

Raw Beginner need help with Adobe Photoshop CS2

I am reading Photoshop CS2 for digital photographers by Scott Kelby. I am looking at pg 55 if any one has this book and would like to visually see what I am about to describe. I own Adobe Photoshop CS2 software. After bringing up Adobe bride RAW on my PC, I then see all the settings, Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation.. Located directly above all of these settings is Auto and Default which you can click on and adjust all settings at the same time. If you don't like what you see you click on Default to go back to the original, you can then make your adjustments individually. In my CS2 book there is an Auto box you can check or un-check beside each setting, Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast. My question is how do I get the Auto box beside each setting so I can simply put a check in that box and preview changes individually instead of the Auto and Default on top which changes every setting at the same time? I hope this make since to you, if not I will try to explain again.

Thank you Ramon for your help. I will just be happy with what I have, which works fine but I thought it might be better for me to have the individual Auto check box for each setting. Thank you for the tip to double-click the sliders to reset it to default, it works in CS2 also:) Actually this gives me more control and works out great now that I think about it. I am sure there are more handy little tips I should know about but don't because I am a beginner in learning RAW. Hopefully I'll stumble across a book or some thing over the internet that will help me with my learning curve.

Problems with Photoshop CS2
I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.

Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.

Photoshop CS2 file corruption with Leopard 10.5.3 update

In addition to the network server corruption issue being experienced by everyone with CS3 and OS X 10.5.3, since Wednesday (and the 10.5.3 update) my CS2 version 9 Photoshop files are turned into corrupted, flattened Mexican rug files when I save to my own G5 pre-Intel hard drive. This is specifically happening when I save files to my hard drive and then shut down the computer minutes later. When I restart minutes later, the files saved just prior to shutdown are flattened and corrupted into a very colorful, horizontally banded Mexican rug. Which would be nice if I was designing Mexican rugs, but I'm not. Files saved during the day with no shutdown appear to be okay.
This has happened twice since Wednesday.
Please note that my Photoshop "save" is completed BEFORE I shut down, by several minutes.
Also, in both cases, an application was hanging and wouldn't force quit, which initiated my shutting down. First it was iTunes, then it was Mail. So I can't figure out if this is Photoshop, iTunes (it wouldn't force quit once), OS X, or a combination. But the only thing I can do is shut down the power.
Does anyone know if this is an Apple thing or an Adobe thing? I wonder if this is one of the "issues for which there is no resolution" that Adobe says can happen using CS2 on Leopard. Or part of the Leopard update. Or both cooperating together.
Anybody have any solutions to this, other than going back to 10.5.2 (or Tiger) ? I've been backing up multiple copies of files at different times of the day in different places. I don't know what else to do. Can't work much longer with corruption over my head. Leopard has been one long big headache.
I have 2.5 GB of RAM, 96 GB of free disk space, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL.

The problem, as I see it, is; "which comes first - the chicken or the egg?" To explain, I am currently operating on an iMac G5, running OS X 10.3.9...... and I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 Preminum installed on my computer. Okay now my question..or rather questions (plural) are; #1 If I upgrade my operating system to OS X 10.4. (Tiger) is Adobe CS2 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc) compatible with OS X 10.4?
* Okay let's supposed the answer to #1 is; "yes - it's compatible.....CS2 will run fine on OS X 10.4
#2 Next question - Will Adobe CS2 run (without any problems) if I were to upgrade to OS X 10.5 (Leopard)? I believe, from what I have been reading the answer to this is; "No, Adobe CS2 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5". Okay let's say that I would then have to plunk the bucks and upgrade to Adobe CS3. On to the next and final question........
#3 Okay if I were to upgrade my OS to OS X 10.5 what do I upgrade first??? The operating system (which is not compatible with Adobe CS2 or the Adobe CS3 suite (which is not compatible with my present OS (OS 10.3.9)??? I have found nothing at either Adobe or Apple web sites which addresses this specific issue. I guess it's just like people - when your systems and software become outdated, the **** with you.
Like I said; Which comes first - the chicken or the egg?
PS: from what I have read on this thread it appears that people really don't read what someone is saying.....you (LoobyDooby) were taking about CS2 and suddenly everyone else stated taking about CS3. It's like tech support........you ask about "apples" and they tell you that "oranges" are not in season.......huh???

Using Elements Organizer with Photoshop CS2

I have grown comfortable with Photoshop Elements integrated organizer and have upgraded to Photoshop CS2 and instead of using the CS2 file manager would like to continue to use the Elements organizer. The problem Im having is when I edit a photo in CS2 and save it, I have to go find the edited file in Elements organizer and add it manually to the organizer, where if I edit in Photoshop elements, the file is automatically added in the organizer for me. Is there something I can do to make this more automatic when I edit in CS2?
Thanks
Joe

Joe,
I have all the current updates for both products, but other than that, I've
done nothing special.
For regular file types (jpg, psd, etc.) the handshake goes without a hitch.
Raw files act a little quirky. Raw files do get passed from Organizer to
CS2 and they open in camera raw. But, I've found that if you don't press
the "open" button in camera raw, CS2 will give you an error message that
says it couldn't receive the document from "Photoshop Album". Click ok on
that message and you get another that says it could not complete the update
from the Photoshop Album command because of a program error.
If, I press "open" in the camera raw dialog to edit in CS2, all is fine. If
I make changes and save, Organizer pops up a message saying I've returned to
Organizer and gives me an option to add to a version set or keep it
separate. It adds to the version set fine. But, since I only selected save
in CS2, it remains open there. If I make further edits to the open file and
save, I have to manually update the organizer thumbnail. On the other hand,
if I just click close and respond yes to the "save changes" message , I get
two popups -- one labled "edited file from Photoshop" and "new edited file".
If I click "ok" on both, I get two entries in the version set. (I've done
that with a regular file and I only get one popup.)
So, there you have it. Ordinary files work as expected. But, raw is quirky.
Raw files work fine if you continue to open in CS2 from camera raw and only
save once.
