Question re CS4 Extended?

Hello
Can anyone help re the above program I have had on my PC.
Have today purchased a new PC with Windows7 Pro.
My CS4 is still on the old hard drive using Windows XP.
I have had that drive installed in the new PC as a slave, but now I am unable to open PSCS4. and realise if I delete it I may have problems reinstalling to the drive with Windows7.(I know you have to deactivate CS4 but how can I do that if I cannot open it.?
Regards Major.

Thanks for the reply but perhaps I didn't explain to well.
I have been forced into this issue due to the fact that I destroyed part of the mother board by meddling with something I new little about.
So I no longer had anyway of opening CS4 to remove it correctly so that I could just go ahead and Download to the new hard drive.
As I understand it when I enter the serial number ther will be a query and I wont be able to install it.
Major.

Photoshop CS4 Extended quick question

Hello,
My question is simple so I'll keep it brief. I'm able to buy Photoshop CS4 Extended via the University I go to, but I would only use the photography features. Does Photoshop CS4 extended work the same way Photoshop CS4 does in that regard, but with just more advanced features for video etc?
In other words, will Photoshop CS4 extended work the same was as Photoshop CS4 would with my photos?

Thanks,
This is what I thought, but I wanted to make sure considering even with my student discount it's still upwards of $400 and with no return policy once opened.
Enjoy it you lucky guy!
Most of us have to pay a lot more, especially here in UK!

Photoshop CS4 Extended Trial question?

If I download the trial of PS CS4 Extended and then later purchase the full version can I use the key from the full version to activate the trial?
Or would I have to uninstall the trial and install the full version?
Thanks.

In theory yes but, bearing mind all the problems being reported here, I wouldn't do it.

Photoshop CS4 Extended- change from PC to Mac and a lost licence key.

Hi,
I have been trying to get into adobe chat to ask these two questions, however it always comes up with an 'chat is unavailable' and I'm unsure of where else to turn- as there is no email contact and no number.
I bought Photoshop CS4 Extended (Student edition) a few years ago and got a disk which i have been using on all my pc computers (deactivating old computers and re-activting new ones), However i have now changed to Mac- and the disk will not load on the mac as it is set for windows. I have then tried to download, CS4 online- but my licence key comes up with a red cross and it will not be accepted. I have looked at other chats and looked at different sites to download the cs4 (and apparently the extended cs4) however i can never find the right download or its just a read me pdf document.
I just want my CS4 photoshop on my new mac computer and unsure how to get it.
Secondly i lost a licence key when one of my family computers died- and have only had one licence key since then. I'm just wondering is there a way to get this back?rent
Is there a different way to contact adobe? Chat just doesn't seem to work for me- and i would love to get these two questions cleared up.
Thanks,
Rachael

Prior to the subscription models—and of course that includes CS4—the Photoshop license was platform specific, either Windows or Mac, but not both. Your CS4 Windows serial number ("key") will never work on the Mac version.
CS4 is out of the loop as far as requesting a platform swap for a nominal fee. It is no longer supported by Adobe in any way. A platform swap required the destruction of your PC version, so you could not use both the PC and the Mac versions.
For a time, you could have used CS4 to upgrade to CS6 for about $200, but that time window has closed by now. Now you would have to own a legitimate version of CS5 in order to be eligible to buy an upgrade to CS6.
You can of course buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 Extended for $1,000 from the Adobe store:
Creative Suite 6
Alternatively, you can subscribe to Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC2014 on a monthly basis without ever owning the software. If you stop paying monthly, the software ceases to work.
The cheapest subscription is the Photography plan, which includes both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 a month.

Photoshop CS4 extended

Can anyone tell me the difference between Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 extended? I bought the extended Version at the end of 2009. I had only been working with Photoshop Elements until then and I didn't need a user's guide for that. What are the "extensions" on CS4 extended? I cannot find any information anywhere and neither the installation CD nor the included "learning Adobe Creative Suite"- CD contains a user's guide that would answer my question. I'd really be grateful for an answer.

I'm having a problem creating a slide presentation in CS4. Is this a feature spec
ific to CS4 extended?

Opening raw images in PHotoshop CS4 extended

I appologize in advance for this DILETTANTE question. I was happily using Lightroom II until recently when I decided, like an idiot, to buy Adobe Design Suite, which includes Photoshop Cs4 Extended.
I am unable to open raw images, I get "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.". The camera I use right now is Canon 5D Mark II. Lightroom does not have any problem either importing the raw images from the card or importing them from my hard disk, if I had already copied them there from the camera card.
Could anybody help me?

For that camera you need the ACR plug-in version 5.2 or higher; you probably still have 5.0 from the installation of the software.
Check in PS Help > About Plug-in...
For 5.5 for Mac look here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4577
For 5.5 for Windows here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4578

Setting the Bleed in Adobe Photoshop Cs4 Extended

I have been to the page in support where it points to the window that pops up after you click the print button. I do not see anything on that window that has anything to do with a bleed. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Since I found the answer to my question from a friend and not here I figured posting the answer might be of use to someone who is having the same trouble finding it as me. For my current version Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended I found the place to add a bleed in the tab Image>Canvas Size.

Command "Load Files into Stack" part of CS4 Standard or CS4 Extended only?

Hi,
this question is about Photoshop CS4, not previous versions.
About this Photoshop command:
File > Scripts > Load files into stack
Is it part of CS4 Standard - or CS4 Extended only?
And this command from within Bridge CS4 (not earlier versions):
Tools > Photoshop > Load files into Photoshop Layers (or so)
Is it only in CS4 Extended or also in CS4 Standard?
On a side note: I do have CS4 Extended, but sometimes want to know what's actually doable in CS4 Standard (for teaching, screenshots, etc). Is it possible to run the Extended version in Standard mode? Could a "work space" be defined for that (once you know the differences) or better could a "work space" be downloaded for that? Could Extended be switched to show as Standard?
Thanks for all clever hints!

Extended and Standard are the same app. the extended features are unlocked with an extended serial number. The scripts may show but you might not be able to use them.

3D Features Not Appearing in CS4 Extended

Hi -
I have a license for Photoshop CS4 Extended (Windows) and for some reason whenever I install it the software appears to be installing as regular non-Extended CS4. At least, the 3D menu items don't appear, and when I go to "About Photoshop" it doesn't say extended.
Before you ask the obvious question, yes -- I have double-and triple-checked that my serial number and license are for the Extended version. It says it right there on the package, on the CD, and on the sticker with the Serail Number.
So what gives? I'm pretty sure this was working before -- I had to wipe my machine and reinstall everything recently, and now it's not showing up. Is there something else I need to do when installing? Is there some hidden option I need to turn on?
Please help!
Thanks,
Matt

If it's a serial number issue there's only one recourse: Call Adobe support.
But double check to make sure your display driver is providing the proper features: Go into Edit - Preferences - Performance, and double check that Photoshop is showing OpenGL enabled. If it isn't, but your hardware should support it, then you'll want to go visit the web site of the maker of your video card and download and install the latest display driver*.
*Note: ATI's Catalyst 12.1 driver doesn't work well with Photoshop CS5 - I don't know if it will have the same problems with Photoshop CS4, but if you have an ATI video card I suggest going to Catalyst 11.7 specifically instead of the very latest.

I'm trying to process RAW file images from my SanDisk memory card on Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and am unable to do so. Which level Adobe Photoshop do I need to process SanDisk images?

I'm trying to process RAW images from my new SanDisk Ultra memory card and unable to do so. I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, is this the right one or do I need to update?

…and you absolutely have to specify the camera model that generated those raw image files.

Upgrade from CS4 Extended Education to CS6

Two questions here. I purchased the educational version of CS4 Extended back when I was in school. No longer in school, I wish to upgrade to CS6 non-educational. First question: Can I upgrade using my educational licence to a non-educational one? Second question: Can I upgrade from CS4 Extended to CS6 Standard? I have no need of the extras with Extended.
Thanks.

Yes and yes. refer to the buying guide on the product pages.

Photoshop CS4 Extended Trial - Available yet?

Hi all,
Not sure if i am behind the times? But is Photoshop CS4 Extended trial available from adobe yet? If not, do we know when it will be made available?
TIA

I'll tell you EXACTLY why, billhughlett.
Because in the time it takes to type out and submit a simple question like that, post it, then wait for an answer, the questioner could easily spend 30 seconds finding it themselves. Even a poor Googler or surfer could rustle up the answer to this particular question in about 2 minutes.
It's not that many of us wouldn't deign to answer, it's just that our free, voluntary time is better spent in dialogue about issues that aren't so easily found. The esoteric, the arcane, the anomalous, the exceedingly difficult...that's kind of where this forum earns its keep.
You want nicey-nice, spoon-fed answers to "Where's the Paint Bucket?" and questions on that level? Perhaps any of the hundreds or thousand independently-run beginner Photoshop-focused sites/forums is where you wanna be. It's not that we won't answer simple questions, but I think most of us don't like to feel we're being taken advantage of.
Maybe the "attitude" is just a harsh little lesson in being a little more self-sufficient.
The mid-November date may not have slapped you in the face, but it's there, and it's relatively easy to find.

When I try to install Photoshop CS4 extended, machine locks up

Down loaded LION. Photoshop CS4 extended was working initially. Then experienced hiccup, my daughter was going to clean up my machine for me and deleted a bunch of files. Things were so screwed up I had to restore LION. In the process, CS4 got corrupted somehow. Tried to reinstall and whenever I do, the machine locks up and the dark screen of death appears. I've tried everything to get CS4 to work but to no avail. Sure would appreciate some suggestions, I really depend upon CS4 for my photographic work. Thanks

Since my last post (initial question/problem) I logged onto Adobe. Among their recommendations was to download Adobe CS5 cleaner; which I did. Still cannot even install Photoshop. As soon as I try, I get the dark screen of death which requires that I power down and restart. Any ideas?

Photoshop CS4 extended with Vista 64?

My question: Is Photoshop CS4 extended supported by Vista 64? (I want to change from Windows XP to Windows Vista 64). Thanks for information.

Yes it is. The installation will put a 64-bit and a 32-bit version on the computer. The latter is handy if you use plug-ins* which are not available in 64-bit.
You may also need to get new drivers for printers, scanners, etc, and probably need to update your video drivers.
*Do not bung a load of old plug-ins in the plug-in folder without checking first.
