Problem with Cursors in Photoshop CS4

I am only seeing partial cursors (i.e. semi-circles or truncated brush tips) for cursors when I enlarge the cursor size. This is happening across all tools wherever I enlarge the brush tip. I tried resetting the preferences and updating the video drivers with no luck. I am running on Windows XP Professional on a Dell desktop using a Dell monitor that has an nVidia GEForce 8600 GTS video driver running version 6.14.11.5851. I had updated the driver to the latest version but the PC became unstable, causing a system dump and "blue screen of death", so I rolled back to this version. I also use a Wacom tablet with the setup. It had been working fine and I am not aware of any changes to the system that would have caused this. I have an open ticket with Adobe for about two weeks but so far the problem has not been resolved. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have you updated Photoshop to vession 11.0.1?
Have you tried turning off OpenGL in preferences?
I don't see your card on this list either:

Problems with Line Tool Photoshop CS4

I have just upgraded to CS4 running on a new MacBook Pro 10.6.3. I've used Photoshop 7 extensively and feel quite able to get around the CS4 version. The problem I have is in creating a line in Photoshop - the line colour will not fix or change other than black on white background, or white on a black background. I can't seem to change it what ever I do? Is there a bug or incompatibility with the new operating system of my MAC?

Is the Line Tool set to Shape Layer, Paths or Fill Pixels (in the Options Bar)?

Problem with bridge and Photoshop CS4

When in Bridge CS4, I want to open a JPEG photo in Photoshop, when double clicking It opens PAINT and not Camera Raw. I have the CS4 on a laptop and no problem there. I matched all the settings and still the desktop opens PAINT instead.

Yes thanks, it worked but how do I change some of them to "none". I don't see how I can do that.
Does it matter?
You could always set all to default and start from scratch.
It's not a very well designed dialog!

64 bit Lightroom 2.5 work well with 32 bit Photoshop CS4?

Anyone know if 64 bit Lightroom 2.5 works well with 32 bit Photoshop CS4? Any problems or conflicts? Or should I stick to 32 bit Lightroom 2.5?

It works fine, but the default will be to use the 64bit version of CS4 (which is also installed along with the 32bit version).
If you want to use the 32bit version of CS4 the easiest way is to open the 32bit CS4 before sending files from LR. I only have a few plugins that don't have 64bit versions, so I mostly use the 64 bit version of CS4, but occasionally I do use the 32bit version and that's how I do it.

Integration problem Lightroom 2.4 - Photoshop CS4

Hi,
I have a problem with editing in photoshop! Nothing seems to work as in the video's and documentation.
Problem description:
When I use the option to edit a selected photo in CS4 or edit as a smartobject in CS4 CS4 starts
up but the photo is not imported. Lightroom displays an error message " cannot start CS" (after some delay).
Is this a known problem?
Your help will be appreciated!

I wouldn't delete the prefs.
I have had this occur two or three times but not consistently - have reported a bug but cannot reproduce !! Random is hard to track and find.
However LR will open Ps and after the error message if you do the edit/open again all will be well.
If you want you can open PS first and the problem doesn't seem to occur.

Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?

Problem with Photomerge Exposure, Photoshop Elements 13?. Why does Photomerge Exposure not give me a finished DONE photo. If I open 2 photos, it will merge then, and when I press DONE I get a new photo file that I can save. However, if I open 3 photos, and go through the same process, the software analyzes the photos, I get a new image, BUT when I press DONE, the new image vanishes???? I can open the same 3 photos in Elements 8 and it works fine. any ideas please.

I, too, am having problems in version 11 with Photomerge Exposure. I can merge the 3 photos successfully with version 10. In version 11 when I click done, I am taken back to the Expert mode of the Editor but the merged photo in the photo bin is not accessible. When I first return to the editor, one of the original images (before merge) is selected. When I double/click on the merged photo it doesn't become the active image. In fact, any image I double click on momentarily becomes the active image and then jumps to another one.
The merged photo is visible in the photo bin but I can't select it.
I am running version 11 on my MacBook running OS 10.6.8

Problem with reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS4 on new pc

Using a new PC with Windows 7. Upon reinstalling and inputting serial number, prompt appears..."We looked inthe default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine but none found. You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing fields to the right." Choices given do not include Adobe Illustrator CS4. What next? I appreciate the help.

I have a disc in the same box that says CS3. I thought that was an older version. Should I try installing that disc first? It seems to have a different serial number. Thanks so much for your help. I appreciate it.

Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

Versions of Photoshop have different installation trees and user preferences. You do not merge Photoshop versions. Each version is independent. When you install newer versions of Photoshop the are options to migrate your presets and Preferences. You can start and use any version installed on your machine. For the most part newer version of Photoshop are backwards compatible with older versions of Photoshop. However some changes Adobe make to Photoshop change user interfaces and and the way Photoshop performs some functions these changes break some user actions, scripts and user work-flows. In fact all the version you listed CS4, CS5 and CS6 have comparability issues. In that respect Photoshop CC is not any better it has compatibility issues.
Newer versions of Photoshop have new functions and updated old function. Older versions can not handle everything save by newer versions of Photoshop. If you save PSD and PSB files with the maximum compatibility option checked. Older version should be able to open you layer document with layers that look like what was saved though some layer may be altered and may even be a different layer kind then was saved. If you need to support older versions of Photoshop always use the maximum compatibility option.

Anyone else having a Problem with Leopard and Photoshop CS3?

I'm using CS3 with Leopard 10.5.4 at work and there are some very aggravating anomalies, that I'd like to nail down to a cause. Most frequently, when switching from apps to P'Shop, the menu bar stays for the previous app, i.e. when going from Finder to P'shop, the menu bar still says Finder and has Finder options. Changing from Lightwave to P'Shop, the menu bar remains Lightwave.
Occasionally, an Adobe app - P'Shop or InDesign - will simply disappear and not come back. The icon in the dock shows it as active, but no amount of clicking, Command-Tabbing will reveal the app and I have to Force Quit, losing unsaved changes.
I have a feeling it's Leopard, since, I've used CS3 on Tiger and CS4 on Tiger and never had a problem.
I'm wondering if upgrading to the latest Leopard would make much of a difference.
Has anyone come across this and found any kind of answers?
Thanks for any suggestions.
-Vincent

> Just because it doesn't happen to Phil (who may not use all of the same features of the Suite that others do anyway) does NOT mean that these problems are not real and are not mere PEBCAK.
Right. If someone is having a problem associated with Tiger, it's PEBAK. If Leopard is involved, it's automatically because of Leopard. Apparently, with Apple's latest OS, trouble shooting problems are no longer necessary - just blame it on Leopard and call it a day.
b FUD
I find the dynamics here really interesting. This thread would have been very different if Vincent had posted with problems involving Tiger. Would have gone something like this:
After admonishing him for not providing more information about his setup by posting the obnoxious big blue link on how to ask questions (ahem - we know NOTHING about his machine or configuration, such as which machine, how much RAM, scratch disk or attached peripherals), there'd be all kinds of trouble shooting advice given - "try a new user", "repair permissions", "run DiskWarrior, and on and on ...
But no, since he mentions Leopard, none of that is apparently necessary and the completely, utterly
b irresponsible
advice is given ... "that's just the way Leopard is".
Those are some serious problems he's reporting that have nothing to do with Leopard. Something is obviously hosed!
As for discounting my experience because I don't use every app in the suite as extensively as I do Photoshop, I'm FAR more qualified to discuss Leopard and CS issues than Ann or Neil who do not use Leopard at all (and have never used it as far as I know.)
"Others have problems with it", is their battle cry but it's extremely weak. Do I really need to remind you all that these forum are ALWAYS filled with people who have problems, regardless of version or OS? You act as if this forum was a ghost town when Tiger and CS3 were current!
Gee, Ann ... people are STILL reporting problems with 10.5 and CS3? How shocking! Guess what - people are STILL reporting problems with 10.4 and CS3 too! Let me make a prediction - people will have problems with 10.8 and CS9!
Vincent-
> I don't really deal with fonts anyway ...
Yes. You do. Even if you never type a single line of text, every application uses fonts to create menus and other GUI items. If one of those fonts are bad, it can create all kinds of problems, including the very problems you mention.
The fact that you don't seem aware of this and you're still using 10.5.4 leads me to believe you're not familiar with the basic practices of maintaining a healthy system. Again, how did you install Leopard on that machine?
Look, if you're simply trying to justify using CS4, go right ahead. It's a worthwhile upgrade in it's own right. However, if you install it on that machine in it's current state, CS4 will NOT fix your problems because you do NOT have a healthy system.
You asked for experiences with Leopard - I can launch every application in both CS3 and CS4 suites
i simultaneously,
and STILL not have your issues. I haven't experienced anything like your CS3 problems in Leopard - on both a 2006 Mac Pro and a 2008 Macbook.
If you'd like help to try and figure out the real problem, I'm more than happy to help. If not, Adobe will gladly take your money ...

Resolution problem with pdf presentation from CS4 in Bridge

I have CS4 and am consistently having problems creating multipage pdf files using Bridge; though they are created using 300 dpi files in Photoshop CS4 the resulting multipage pdfs from Bridge are not print quality. I never had a problem with this before Bridge was required to create pdf presentations. The files used to create the presentation in Bridge are either psd or Photoshop pdf at 300 dpi. I am completely self-taught in Photoshop and my skill level is moderate at best, but I am not finding anything to help me so far in searching google and forums. Does anyone have any info to point me in the right direction? thanks-

Have you applied all the updates for photoshop cs4 including this one:

Is there anyone having problem with Clone Stamp in CS4?

Good Morning, I am using Photoshop CS4 Extended with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. My computer is a Dell XPS 430, WITH 8GB of ram, 1.5TB of disk space, ATI Radean HD 4800 Series adapter with 512MB memory. When I bring up an image in Photoshop and click on Clone stamp I get the error message "could not use the clone stamp because of a program error." I can still use Clone Stamp, but with some wied reults. Sometime the middle of the brush turns bright white and do nothing. Again it will clone the item clicked on, but would move the spot being cloned. Other times when the brush is move from the spot being cloned it will clone other area without cliking on them.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 4 times. I have created a new account with administrative rights, which I unistalled and reinstalled Photoshop. Two of the times that I uninstalled Photoshop I also used the Photoshop script to make sure all of Photoshop were uninstalled. I have also cleaned the register of Photoshop before reinstalling Photoshop. Another item used to make sure there was no error with Vista was Windows cleanup installed tool.
Yesterday I checked my laptop and I am getting the same results as my PC. The most recent thing that has been updated on both the PC and Laptop was Windows updates and Camera Ram 5.4. Attached is a copy of a wierd result using clone tool. I just clicked on the image and the orange spot appeared. Is there anyone else who is having similar problems with Clone Stamp?

Have you applied the Photoshop 11.0.1 Patch?
Have you updated the video drivers?
If that doesn't help, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
(A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

Problem with "Edit in Photoshop"

Hi,
When I "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom, the photo loads correctly into Photoshop, and I can save my changes, but when I return to Lightroom, my changes are not automatically imported. I have to click "Import..." to find the changes, and manully import them.
How to I enable automatic imports of the changed made in Photoshop?
Somestimes, I get a grey thumbnail after returning from Photoshop. Clicking on the thumbnail gives the message: "Filename-Edit.tif could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Previous location: Correct path to file, except starts with "C:/", and should start with "E:/". If I locate the correct file, it is imported, but it has an exclamation point on the thumbnail. Clicking on the exclamation point produces the message: "The medata data for this photo has be changed by both Lighroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settins with those form the catalog?"
I'm using Lightroom 5.0, Camera Raw 8.1, Photoshop CS6 (Versionh 13.0.1) under 64-bit Windows 7
Thanks
Brent

Thank you for this information regarding the dialog box!
My problem is with LR 2.3 and CS4 Photoshop. When I select "edit in Photoshop CS4", Photoshop starts, but the file doesn't open.
If I select "open as smart Object" in Photoshop, the file opens.
Previously, with CS3, I had no problems opening raw files for edit!
