[Possibly OT] Photoshop CS2 irreversibly hidden on Tiger / MBP

I'm not 100% sure this is a Tiger issue, but I thought I'd at least ask the resident Mac gurus. This has happened a few times, and I'm not sure what causes it:
# When CMD+TABbing out of Photoshop, all open document windows will occasionally hide themselves.
# If this happens, CMD+TABbing back to Photoshop doesn't show any of the open windows. The Photoshop menu appears at the top of the screen, but none of the items are clickable.
# Right-clicking on the Photoshop dock icon shows the names of my open documents, as well the "Show" option. Unfortunately, clicking on any of these items does nothing: "Show" simply shows the application menu (see previous bullet), and clicking on the names of open documents simply plays the system error tone.
Has anyone encountered this problem before, and are there any workarounds? I'm working on an unsaved mockup I'd really hate to lose...
Thanks in advance for your help. I really appreciate it.

Ignoring the spam.............
What exactly is happening when you say you there are problems in opening images?
Have you tried cntrl + click on the the photo icon and then checking the options on "Open with..."
When you download the images do they have any kind of suffix eg .jpg or .tiff etc?

Photoshop CS2 upgrade Panther to Tiger - Help please!

Hi All,
I am doing a favour for my Aunt tomorrow and upgrading her G5 from Panther to Tiger.
She uses it mainly for Photoshop.
Is there anything i need to be wary of? I looked at the adobe web site and it seems to work on both systems, but do i need to download an update?
Any advice, greatfully received!

Jacob, have a look at THESE posts.

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,

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.

Opening Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2 (Mac Tiger 10.411)

Is it possible to open Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2? After I created them in Photoshop CS3 I reset the preferences to maximize compatibility "always", then I resaved all the psd files. Do you think this will work? I have to open them in CS2 tomorrow at work...

Also, some old features may have changed in the new version. Specifically, I had some CS3 files from a client that had smart objects that did not open correctly in CS2.
As I recall, CS2 was able to open a flattened version of the file, just not fully layered with smart objects.
I actually had CS3 on my laptop, just not on the tower I wanted to work on, so I opened the files on the laptop, rasterized the smart objects, and saved. After this, CS2 opened the files with layers.

Is it possible to download a copy of Photoshop CS2?

Does anybody know if it is possible to download a copy of Photoshop CS2?

Yes, if you have a license.

Is it possible to load my Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop CS2 on my wife's new iMac version 10.7?

Greetings All,
Is it possible to load my Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop CS2 on my wife's new iMac version 10.7? So far, no luck. Message says: "won't support programs for Power PC"
Apparently it's time to dole out a chunk of change and upgrade. Your advice, comments, suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
George

George:
Always an excellent idea to have a backup somewhere. Make sure you purchase an external drive that is big enough that you can create a few partitions. That way you can have a partition for the "clone" and then maybe two more partitions: one for your files as a backup and one for your wife's. And you can move the external around between your computer and your wife's, as long as they are both Macs.
And for cloning, I suggest and recommend Carbon Copy Cloner:

Photoshop CS2 - Blowing scans up with as little loss of quality as possible

What's the best way to make a file that you can blow up into a big poster, say 10 by 20 feet, for example, without the image being too blurry?
I plan to scan in some drawings I did on 8.5x11", colour them in Photoshop CS2, and then make a file so that you can print it out as a big poster, like the 10 by 20 feet example above. I would like the printout to be sharp (as little loss of quality as possible).
What's the best way to do this?
Which dpi should I scan the pictures in, so I can blow them up big?
Which file type should I save the working file, and the file I'm going to print them out?
Please advise. Thank you.

What are your specifics (how high is the resolution of the scans, how many pixels do you have in the image you want to print)?
There are some tools out there for doing just that kind of thing, but you have to realize that there are limits - no software yet can invent detail where none exists.
Starting with very CLEAN image information, a product called Perfect Resize (which used to be called Genuine Fractals) is pretty good at this, as it finds "edges" in the image and tries to preserve them. I have a beautiful 24 x 30 inch print I made from an old Canon D30 capture (just 3 megapixels) upsampled with Perfect Resize and it stands up even to close inspection.
But the good news is that people don't usually scrutinize giant prints from too closely. A rule of thumb is that viewing distance will typically be no closer than about the long dimension of the image (e.g., 20 feet in your case).
OnOne Software has a trial version of Perfect Resize available (chances are you'll only need the standard edition). Alternatively, if you'd like to post a small part of an image you're considering blowing up, I'll be happy to run it through Perfect Resize and post the result so you can see. Here's a small example using one of my own images:
Original:
Upsampled 400% in each dimension (this forum software may mess up the display but you should be able to copy and paste it into Photoshop or a viewer app):

Photoshop CS2 + Tiger

I've searched and read a few other threads on this but I want to confirm.
I have a 3-year-old G4 minitower. I'm running 10.4.8.
I need to buy Photoshop, (CS2).
Will this run without problems on Tiger, I have a Mac chip, not the Intel.

Hello,
I just bought a MacBook Pro. I used to have a mac back in the day when the G3 (grey version) came out. But switched to PC because I could'nt afford a mac anymore. Now I want to switch back to Apple and did this by first bying a MacBook. I lend some software from a mac friend just to see how these new Intel Mac's work. Because I started a company on my own I wanted to test it first before bying either mac or pc software.
But indeed... I found some difficutlies working with some software. Photoshop CS2 seems to run OK but not perfectly. But the most problems I had was with Autodesk Maya 8. It runs very slow.
And I'm a bit dissepointed in returning to the Mac. Because it now seems that I have to wait for all the software companies to bring out a new version... which will take months.. by the time they come out there will probably be a new MacBook pro on the way... So now I'm stuck with a machine from which I can't benefit the most... and by the time I can there will be a slightly better machine at the same price. How come the costumer is allways the one who get's stuck with problems like these?

Uninstalling Photoshop CS2 from tiger

I have a macbook running 10.4.11 and I have a version on Adobe Photoshop CS2 installed that is very slow and wonky. It was installed at an old office and I do not have the CD's. I want to uninstall it and install a new version of CS3 which I heard works a lot better. Any ideas on the best way to do this?? Thanks-Mott

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

PhotoShop CS2 Bridge caused strange loss of desktop visibility/memory ??

I have a G5 (Duel) running Tiger 10.4.6. Just lately the Bridge in Photoshop CS2 has not been working too well - it became very slow and sometimes didn't "see" my images. Yesterday I could get it to find my image folders at all. Then all my desktop started to look weird - even when I wasn't using the Bridge. So I closed all the applications and restarted the computer. To my horror all my desktop and preferences (dock, safari, desktop picture, folders etc.) had been lost. At first I thought I had somehow lost all my image folders but using spotlight I found them all there - distribted in places I had never put them. I sorted everything out again and re-did all my customised stuff but it was scary! At no time did the computer give me any warning of any trouble. It did not crash or anything. I was running QuarkXpress 5 (classic 9) as well and had a Skype window open (although I wasn't using it to talk at the time) Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this happened - has it happened to anyone else ? Thanks for any help.. Diana

Hi jamba,
I think the issue is that your output of lspci shows no Audio device. Perhaps it got disabled in the BIOS? dmesg output may indicate something else afoot with your audio hardware.
Hope that helps.
I'll check out dmesg output. also still need to check if something got disabled in the BIOS.
!snd_intel8x0m <- is your problem. Your sound module got blacklisted so un-list it. Modprobe it then try sound again or just reboot and it should work.
moonswan. snd_intel8x0 is the sound card (I think), in the alsa wiki it said it was recommended to blacklist snd_intel8x0m as a quirk fix.
No sound with or without it blacklisted still :-(

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?

Photoshop CS2 coercion error on Intel mac

I am testing on 2 machines, one intel, one ppc (g5). On the intel machine I can't get this code to run. It keeps erroring saying it doesn't understand percent and pixels?
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
set kScaleFactor to 75 as percent
set kResolution to 120 as pixels
set kResponse to resize image kDocRef width kScaleFactor height kScaleFactor resolution kResolution resample method bicubic
end tell
Any ideas? I think I had a problem similar years back, but I don't recall the fix.

I get a similar error message whenever I start up any program with a GUI, using either Java 1.4.2 or 1.5 JVM on any Mac (G5, 12" Powerbook, G4 power mac) running Tiger. I cannot remember when the messages started or what they mean. However, regardless of the error, the programs run fine for the most part. So it is not specific to the MBP (or Intel-based) Mac. I just bought an MBP today and have just started getting it configured.
p.s. I have had one problem with Java programs on OS/X since upgrading to Tiger last year. I never experienced this problem on OS/X before Tiger and it has never been a problem on Linux. Seemingly randomly,when I am running a program for many hours, the JVM dies with only O/S type messages. Sometimes the messages is "bus error", most of the time the errors in the log file are obscure references to the underlying JVM code (i.e. Objective C???). This happens both with commercial Java programs and ones I write myself. For example, if I am processing thousands of files for import into a relational database, the program will fail over and over again, but at a different point in the data and a different point in the processing of that data. The only common pattern is that the problem occurs after many hours (many of my programs run for 12-40 hours). My solution thus far has been to develop on OS/X but do long runs on Linux. I've tried reporting it as a bug to Apple - but it's difficult to send a large body of code and a large relational database to Apple, particularly when, in any case, the problem will be hard to replicate. The one common thread is that all the Java programs that die in this way are using JDBC. Something changed with Tiger.
