Photoshop thumbnails and CS4

I have been installing PS7 to get PSD thumbnails to show their image (rather than a generic icon) in Windows. I understand this facility was dropped in CS. Does anyone know if this has been restored in CS4 or will I have to continue to install PS7 before CS4?
Thanks.

Chris et al -
Which API and supposed bug are you referring to?
If you use IInitializeWithStream for your thumbnail provider, that will help prevent your code from messing up others trying to access the file. Just don't leak any references to the stream.
If you are having the shell initialize your handler with a file path / IShellItem / pidl, and having problems properly managing access to the file, you should let me know and I'll do my best to help you (or get you in touch with our platform PM who I know would be happy to help you out).
Blaming your bugs on the OS is so tacky =P
Thanks,

    I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.  I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers.  I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect.  I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own.  One is operational and one is dead.  I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

  • 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.

  • Screen Flickering in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and CS4

    I experience screen flickering in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and CS4 when I move my mouse around on the screen. Basically any mouse movement will create flickering. The more and faster I move my mouse the more flickering occurs.
    System Specs
    - Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
    - Intel i7 3.2GHz Extreme
    - ASUS Rampage II Extreme Mobo
    - Corsair Dominator 6GB 1866MHz (Triple Channel)
    - Dual eVGA Nvidia GTX 285 Superclocked Graphics Cards in SLI
    - Dual 60GB OCZ Vertex Series SDDs in RAID0
    - Corsair 1000Watt PSU
    - CPU and both GPUs are water cooled
    - Logitech G-15 Keyboard
    - Logitech G-9 Mouse
    - ASUS 26" LCD VK266H monitor (1920x1200 @ 60Hz) DVI
    - I have the latest BIOS and all of the most up-to-date drivers installed for every piece of hardware.
    I have photoshop set to use the maximum allowable amount of memory. The memory slider in photoshop maxes out at 3.25GB which equates to about 50% of my total system memory.
    The screen flickering does not occur in any other application or game, only in Photoshop. I have tried every possible Nvidia Control Panel setting for this application, and nothing seems to have an effect on the flicker.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem, or any recommendations?

    Aside from the potential SLI issue, you might want to study your Logitech mouse driver.
    Going back a bit, several versions of the MS InteliPoint mouse driver caused just what you describe. I have not heard of this with Logitech, but did have some other issues with their SetPoint drivers. In my case, I ditched their keyboard, but kept the mouse (love it), and did away with SetPoint, using the generic driver. All functions that I needed were handled, and SetPoint was out of the equation.
    Something else to look at, and good luck,

  • How to open Camera RAW (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3 and CS4? (Mac)

    I have a Canon 7D. I prefer to shoot in raw format, but the CR2 files cannot be opened by either Photoshop CS3 on my Mac in the office OR by Photoshop CS4 on my iMac at home.
    I have tried dowloading the Adobe DNG Coverter and Camera Raw 4.6 update (which is SUPPOSEDLY intended to work for CS3) and followed the instructions to replace the plug-in. STILL a no-go. CS3 STILL tells me "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    What gives? Does anyone know of a way to get CR2 files to open in Photoshop CS3 or CS4? (A way that actually works?) Because Adobe's plug-in update doesn't seem to do it, and Canon's "fine-grain" editing controls for raw images is pretty lack-luster.
    Thanks (in advance)!

    Have you tried opening up out of Bridge? If that doesn't work you may new need to download a new driver from Canon. All my peripherals are Canon and I am always having to download new drivers everytime I update. Fortunatly they are really easy to find on Canon's site.

  • Dark Prints with Photoshop CS3 and CS4 but not Lightroom

    Hi, To start,I have calibrated my dell monitor with eye-one pro as well as my epson 7800. i am running vista 64 bit on my PC...
    When i use photoshop (CS3 or CS4) the images look fine on the screen and come out really dark on the printer. When i use lightroom, the images look fine on the screen and fine on the printer.
    Any guidance on how to "fix" photoshop would be appreciated. By the way, in photoshop print dialogue, i color manage the document, photoshop manages the color, the printer profile is set to the I-1 custom printer profile, rendering is perceptual, and black point compensation is checked.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I manage color and service bureau printing at the college I work for, and we've been fighting the upgrade to CS4 for some time. Here's what we have so far.
    Apple dual G5 machine with 10.5.8
    Adobe PS CS3
    Adobe PS CS4
    3 x Epson 4800 Pro printers using an IP connection and using Driver version #6.11
    We manage color with custom created profiles in eyeOne with eyeOne pro hardware.
    When moving to CS4 for printing prints have gond dark and the color has taken an odd shift.
    When printing with CS3, we get consistent color and density
    All things being equal in the print settings for each version of PS.
    I have heard that CS4 addresses the printing system differently (using an updated printing api from Apple) is this true?
    When running prints from within another app (any app really) that prints directly through the OS, we get similar results as CS4.
    The best explaination that we've been able to get is that the (epson) print driver is operating on the older api calls, and that when the OS (or CS4) is operating on the newer calls, the color and density issues arise.
    Can anyone verify this?

  • Photoshop cs3 and cs4 brush lag /snow leopard 10.6.6

    Having occasional brush lag using these apps. Not due to wacom, does same with mouse. Discussions going on at adobe forums. I have ATI 5770 in mac pro 2.8 quad. Don't want to update to 10.6.7 due to font/pdf issues. Spoke to apple person, who couldn't say if the new update had specific fixes for graphics drivers. Anyone having same problems?

    ?Did you have a PowerMac before, and did you use the Migration Assistant?
    How about some normal good system maintenance?
    CS3 on a Mac Pro running SL may or may not work the best on mid-2010 Mac Pro.
    Your mac by default was set to boot into 64-bit kernel mode. I assume you switched to 32-bit.
    How about RAM and storage setup? disabled Spotlight and moved primary scratch to non-system drive?
    To elimiate any confusion, change the "PowerMac" to what you have, a Mid-2010.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS4 on the same system?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering is it possible to have both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS4 on my computer at the same time.  I heard that this would cause errors, but if there is, is there a work around for it.  Thanks in advance.

    Quite a few people keep an older version in case there is something not right for them in the newer version.
    Just make sure they are installed in that order.
    Be prepared to have your file associations changed.
    What is you OS by the way?

  • Can't view thumbnails in cs4 photoshop or bridge

    Hi,
    I can't view cs2 or DNG files thumbnails in CS4 photoshop or bridge. I'm using vista 64 home premium and recently had to reinstall cs4 on a new disc. It worked fine before on my old disc but now it doesn't.
    I've searched through the various topics on this, I've only got one copy of the correct file (Camera Raw.8bi) in the correct folders, CS4 is shown in the bridge / edit / prefs / file type associations.
    I can click on a file and it opens in bridge but I just can't see the thumbs.
    One point though - the DNG convertor states that it needs camera raw v 7.1 or later so maybe that's why I can't read the dng file (even though I can open them) but it doesn't explain why I can't see the cr2 files.
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    Doug

    If purging the cache doesn't work, the ACR plug-in (which is called Camera Raw.8bi) may be in the wrong place.
    It should be in:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    There is another plug-ins folder in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\ Adobe CS3 folder. If the ACR plug-in is in there, delete it.

  • Why are my thumbnails and folders changing???

    For some reason my image thumbnails and folders are misbehaving.
    Thumbnails
    The thumbnail images will just disappear on SOME images in a folder but not all.
    Folders
    The folder sizes will max out in some folders but not in others.
    And, I am not sure this has anything to do with this, but sometimes when I add an image to a folder it will spring open and close very quickly. This does not happen all the time, but it does happen. This could just be a Leopard thing, I am not sure.
    To make the thumbnail images re-appear, I just re-start my computer. However, this does not correct the folder over-sizing. I have to manually do this as I find them. And, to be clear, I have 'Show Icon Preview' selected. I know that in Tiger you could mistakenly change ALL the folders on you HD, but I did not think you could do this with Leopard. If this IS possible, then that could explain the folder changes, but not the image disappearances.
    This all began as I was moving files over to my external HD yesterday. Same this is happening today. So, this is a constant battle that I am not winning by any stretch.
    ANY comments or suggestions will be most welcome.
    Phillip Anthony

    Thanks for the detailed help.
    I am aware of what you so kindly suggested, but I think the cause of my problem lay somewhere else.
    To be clear, I have used the Info palette to change the 'Open with:' function from 'Adobe Photoshop CS4' to say, 'Preview', if I just want to view the image as opposed to modify it, especially if PS were not already launched.
    As I said, this problem just began all of a sudden, then quit. Today, I have not had this issue, so I am not complaining. As I go through my workflow, I continue to find maxed out folder sizes, but these are easily corrected. It was the lack of thumbnails that was the issue.
    Again, I sincerely appreciate the suggestion.
    Phillip

  • Photoshop CS and Leopard

    I've read contradictory reports about CS and Leopard. I know Adobe wasn't going to do anything to improve compatibility, but there could have been issues with earlier versions of Leopard. So I'd like to bring this question up again. I gather that CS will "run," which is more than PS 7 will do, but are there any significant issues?
    Thanks.

    I use File-->Open all the time, and it appears to work just fine for PhotoShop CS under Leopard.
    The problem isn't so much that I **can't** use File-->Open, it's that I've routinely used File-->Browse over many years to quickly view thumbnails and file information of related shots (mostly jewelry photos for my wife's website).  So the risk of losing 30-60 minutes' work by absent-mindedly selecting a menu item that I've gotten in the habit of using is non-trivial...

    Thanks for the info!  My first task will be reinstalling PhotoShop CS, but after that I'll definitely look into Onyx.

    I'm aware that PhotoShop CS and CS2 are noted as having known incompatibilities with Leopard.  Not surprising:  they were both released before Leopard, so incompatibilities are to be expected.
    I'm also aware that CS3 is no longer officially available.  Upgrading to CS4 would be problematic for a different reason though:  the system requirements state that it requires either a G5- or Intel-based Mac, and mine's a dual-G4.  So I either upgrade to CS3 -- which is compatible with both Leopard and a dual-G4 -- or I risk attempting an upgrade to CS4, which is not officially supported on my Mac and might not even install.

  • Useless layer thumbnails in CS4

    In previous versions of Photoshop it was possible to recognize adjustment layers by their thumbnails, in CS4 that has been removed except for gradients, patterns and solid color.
    I find that a wrong move. Thumbnails are handy, they allow you to quickly see where you've used your different adj. layers (useful if you've a big fan of non-destructive editign like me). The only thing that is left is the names, but
    a) names don't view as fast as icons
    b) it basically limits you of using names, because once you do, you have no clue what the layer is unless you click on it
    Why oh why remove the different icons and turn it one and the same??
    Don't tell me that there is no setting that can fix this....sigh

    M.
    I just checked on my version of CS4 (Windows XP) and the icons on the adjustment layers are all different. In fact, they are the same icons as shown on the new adjustments panel (Histogram for levels, V for Vibrance, etc.).
    There have been some weird panel/icon things reported lately that appear to be related to plug-ins (Nik products, for example). You might want to look through some of those threads.
