SAVE defaults in Photoshop CS4 not working.

I shoot in RAW format and use Lightroom 3 to open all new photos. When I first do a SAVE it saves it with the Byte Order as IBM PC though I work on a MAC and want MAC. If it's a layered file it defaults to the TIFF options as ZIP (I want LZW) and IBM PC byte order and ZIP layer compression (I want RLE). I've checked all the preferences and yet it defaults to these settings. I can't just click "save", I have to do "save as" and check the selections I do want. This is drivng me crazy. I reinstalled CS4 after Photoshop suddenly stopped working, and it's been doing this ever since. Do I need to trash some system preferences or ???
Thank you.

I thought there was a way, using the channels palette, to create an
alpha channel from one of the RGB layers and use levels to blacken out
a background.
Yes there, are two ways - to use the clipboard: copy and paste the RGB layer into the alpha channel - making sure that full color composite view is visible, and the correct layer is highlighted, when you copy - and ONLY the alpha channel is selected in the channels palette when you paste.
Another way, which you may have heard ages ago, is to load the RGB grayscale - command clicking the RGB composite channel. Then create a new alpha channel from this selection- if the channel is the wrong way round invert it (command I)

Edit in adobe photoshop cs4 not working

Hi there!
I have Lightroom 2.3 & Adobe Photoshop CS4 installed.
The "edit in adobe photoshop cs4" function is not working for my RAW files (DNG). When I select "edit in adobe photoshop cs4", Photoshop is started up, but it doesn't load anything. It is working for other formats like JPG/TIF/PSD, as an -EDIT version though.
Anyone any idea? Thanks in advance!

Normally, when this happens it's because the version of Camera Raw installed with Photoshop doesn't support your camera. You haven't mentioned which camera you are using, but it's probably worthwhile downloading the latest version of Camera Raw (currently 5.3, but there's a release candidate of 5.4 available from http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.4

Photoshop CS4 not working with Maverick?

I downloaded Maverick last night after using Photoshop CS4 all day. This morning when i tried to launch it, i got a message saying i needed to download Java SE 6 runtime. I said ok, it tries to install, but i keep getting the same error "Can not download software due to network error". I called Apple Support and they said if the software worked with Mountian Lion then it will work with Maverick I was told to call Acrobat. I did and they told me it was Apple's issue. After searching online it seems that it is Apple's issue. I tried downloading the SE 7 runtime that didn't work. Not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be apperciated.

Here is the photo :
I use a spyder to correct my display color. It seem to be blocking me from chaning the accelration.
Could that be causing the problem ?

Photoshop CS4 not working after installing on new machine

Hi! I'm hoping someone here may have encountered this issue and can help.
I switched from a 32-bit PC to a Mac running Windows 7 (64-bit) via Parallels. I installed CS4 and InDesign/ Acrobat are working fine but Photoshop only opens and lets me create but can't save any newly created file nor open anuything including JPGs and PSDs. The installation gave me two Photoshop versions, one says Photoshop 64 bit, and they're both saying "could not complete command because of a program error" when trying to save or "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" when trying to open. I installed the new patch just to be sure. Any ideas?

I'll start by saying I don't know much about Parallels, as I use VMware myself.
Are you trying to access the files across some kind of special connection to the files in your host's file system?
You may well have a permissions issue. You need to read up on how Parallels facilitates access of your hard drive files by the Windows user who's logged-in, and what permissions you have to set up to allow that user to access them freely.

Alpha Channels in Photoshop CS4 not working

I'm not an expert at using alpha channels, but I was trying to clip someone from a background. I followed the directions according to a tutorial I found (choose which color channel looks best, then Alt-click on New Channel). My alpha channel always looks black. Anyone else have this problem?

Photo Edit in CS4 not working

Hello,
THE SETUP
I have LR 3.3 and PS CS 4 Version 11.0.2 on a Mac running OS X.6.7.
My "About Lightroom" screen reports the presence of Camera Raw 6.3.
In my LR preferences under "External Editing" tab, I have the option to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4" as PSD / sRGB / 16 bit / rez 300. There is no "Additional External Editor" present.
I have installed in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats the Camera Raw Plug-in version 5.7. When I choose Photoshop>About Plugin>Camera Raw I see that CR version 5.7.0.213 is present.
THE PROBLEM
When I select photo(s) [CR2 file(s)] in LR3 and choose Photo>Edit in> none of the external edit-in-Photoshop options work. First, I get a message saying "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.3 for full compatibility."
I resent this suggestion, since that version of Camera Raw only works with CS5.
When I click "Open Anyway," PS opens and loads, but that's it. None of the images from LR appear.
I get the same (non)-results with all of the options (edit in CS4, HDR, panorama, smart object, etc.) under "Photo>Edit In." Photoshop launches, but no image appears.
The only way I can get a photo to open in PS from within LR is to choose Photo>Edit in>Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4, and then when the warning dialog comes up about the Camera Raw plug-in version, click "Render in Lightroom." When I do that, LR renders the image and it opens in CS4. But that doesn't help me do what I really want to do, which is to select bracketed exposures in LR, merge them to HDR in CS4, and save them back to LR.
I have searched for help on this and come up dry. I did find this http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?9974-Open-as-layers-in-Photoshop-command-not -working, but I reinstalled the CR 5.7 plug-in as described and saw no change.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lr 3.3 and CS4 are not fully compatible so your experience is the result of that.
You will have to bite the bullet and upgrade to CS5 if you dont want to "Render in LR".
I've worked for quite a while with LR 3 and CS3 and experienced similar problems - the only way out is that you select "Render in LR".
It's not such a big deal. When you select "Render in LR", Lr creates the psd that then opens in CS4.
With CS5 it works this way: The RAW file opens in CS5 but when you save in CS5 a psd is generated.

Why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option now?

Hi,
why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option for saving .png in Save As diolog box now? It was working fine until yesterday. Neither I can open a .png file nor save my psd file to png file?
Please help. I am using Microsoft Window XP Professional and Photoshop CS4.

In Photoshop CS4, .png open/save support was provided by a plug-in. It is possible the plug-in has been deleted or moved, or has become unavailable to Photoshop because of a change in file protections.
Do you have the file PNG.8BI on your system. It should be here on a 32 bit Windows system:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats\PNG.8BI

Please do not use the post title to post the entire question (no offense, it just makes the forum look ugly). As for your question - you really did install it? I mean with serial and install disc? If so, the update would work, because it would find the proper install info. That not being the case, there are a few things that may be wrong:
- due to you language settings, the installer cannot find the folder because it has a different name (though on Vista, that shouldn't be an issue)
- at some point, you used the CS4 Clean Utility/ Script to remove install info
- you are using a pirated copy that you may have bought on eBay or elsewhere that has a modified installer to circumvent licensing
- you are using an unlicensed version a "friend" gave you and that never was installed, but merely copied to the harddrive
That pretty much covers the immediate options, now it's up to you to tell us, which one may apply. Assuming, we are talking about perfectly legit software, re-installing it from the original media should take care of the problem. For illegal software, you should understand, that you are utterly on your own and nobody will help you, much less on the forums of the company producing the software.

Hi Hardy Tasso,
Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
Please try:
Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.
Thanks,

Dreamweaver CS4 not working under MacOS 10.9

on starting DW CS4 it asks for Java Runtime engine 6, but Mavericks has Java v.7 installed. Since Java 6 was part of the OS of previous systems, I cannot install it seperately, besides it would probably cause conflicts with OS 10.9. Do I have to trash my DW, or is there a workaround.
Thanx

If I follow click the instal button on
I get the progress bar for about 1 sec and then the message about a supposed
network problem
which is unreal, since my network works perfectly for any other task and I
had even tried disabling the firewall and little snitch. Things are still
not working
