Smart object will not open in CS4

I have Lightrooom 4.2 and Photoso CS4. When I try to open a RAW file as a smart object in CS4, Photoshop opens but the image does not appear. There is no error message. Any ideas on how to get the image to open?

Your application versions aren't in sync, so this just won't work I'm afraid: CS4 is (roughly) four years behind LR4 and the version of ACR that comes with PS CS4 (5.x - should be on 5.7) won't be able to interpret the edits you've carried out in LR4, assuming you're using the latest process version with the new slider controls.
Very surprised you're not getting any error messages or warnings though. Maybe you switched them off in Lightroom?

Hi, I need some help. Since I have changed to windows 7 I cannot open raw files with my canon mk 5D. The files will not open in cs4. Can somebody advise me what to do. I have done updates on CS4 and still cannot open the raw files

Can anybody advise me what to do as I am having problems opening raw files on CS4 since I have changed to windows 7. I am using a canon mk 5D.

Actually, you're not. That's not an accurate description of any of the Canon 5D models.
There are EOS 5D, EOS 5D Mark II, and EOS 5D Mark III models. Which do you have, specifically? Details will matter for this.
If you have a 5D Mark III (three) it's too new and you will not be able to directly open files with Photoshop CS4. You'll either need a newer version of Photoshop or to use the free DNG converter.

CR2 files will not open in CS4 or Bridge.

I can not open CR2 file in CS4 or Bridge. The CR2 images show in the preview window when I click the "open" button under "file". When I select the image to open I get "Unable to complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." I have uninstalled and re-installed the sotware, installed all the updates and get the same results. Any sugestions?

From which Canon camera model exactly?
The CR2 file is probably from a newer camera and probably requires Camera Raw 6 or higher.

CS4 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 5.7
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
You either have to upgrade Photoshop to version CS6 or higher
Or convert the CR2 file to DNG using the free DNG converter then edit the DNG files in CS4.

My CS6 files will not open in CS4

I own the CS4 creative suite, and for a period over the last few years have been using CS6 from school. Now that my License has expired for cs6 my files wont open in cs4 at all. Is there a way to retrieve them with out having to buy cs6?

with id cs6 you have to save your file in idml format.
than open it with cs4 and resave it.

InDesign CS4 or CS5 will not open my CS4 file

Please help! I have a large file for a newsletter I have been working on that suddenley refuses to open. I have been using CS4 and didn't have any problems until all of the sudden I just get a box saying "cannot open "name of file". I tried in CS5 on my home computer, won't open. I created it at work in CS4. I have no idea what to do. I can open the file from 3 days ago on my back-up drive, but every back-up'ed filed between then and now gives me this error. The error just happened yeaterday. I have lost 3 full days of work. Can anybody help me? This is a 44 page newsletter.

Thanks. yes, I typically duplicate the file and delete everything I don't want. I have been using InDesign for years but I never got into using templates. I will look into them after this is finished. It just figures it would happen right at the worst time.
This is a new contract and this is the second newsletter I have ever done. I duplicated it from the first one I did last quarter, but the first one I duplicated from a copy that was given to me by the company that handled it before mine and I have no idea if they did that too of what platform/version they worked from.
I have already started fixing everything. I basically went back to my first draft version. I was ready to turn it over for final approval today. I luckly have a pdf that I exported on my last draft because I typically save drafts with _ver2 etc as PDF as I work and submit them for edits.
PS...I have another newsletter I do that I have been duplicating for years, it has probably been duplicated 10 or more times. I'm not working on that one now, but I am not duplicating it again. I never even thought about it getting messed up from this habit.

Mac Pages will not open in CS4 Adobe Acrobat Pro

Is this standard? OR can you only open other Adobe/pdf files in Acrobat Pro?

Acrobat Pro cannot open pages files. You need to create a pdf file from
Pages as you do with any other program from the print dialog box or in
the case of Pages you can use the export function (but this doesn't use
Acrobat to create pdf files).

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.

CS4 32 bit will not open under Win 7 64 bit.

Upgraded from Win 32 bit XP to Win 7 64 bit. While in the process of rebuilding my system downloaded and installed Beta versions of CS6 and Bridge for CS6, before trying to install my current CS4 version. I do not know whether this is causing any of the following problems that I am experiencing.　　　　　　　　A short time later I installed CS4, ending up with both the 32 and 64 bit versions of CS4. Interestingly, this install did not install a CS4 version of Bridge in either 32 bit or 64 bit, possibly because the Beta CS6 version of Bridge was installed? 　　　　　
However, from a previous system backup I was able to retrieve a copy of the CS4 version (presumably 32 bit version) of Bridge, which I simply copied to the new system and found that it works fine. Interestingly now the CS6 version of Bridge loads one of the two CS4 versions and not the Beta CS6, but I cannot tell which one of the CS4 versions. Question: how does one determine whether the loaded version is the 32 or 64 bit version? If I click on System Info it does say X64 which I assume means the 64 bit version is loaded. Is this the way to tell?　　　　　　　　
The CS4 version of Bridge now apparently defaults to the 64 bit version of CS4 on opens.　　　　　
I have now read that most if not all my previous plugins will not run under CS4 64 bit, so I really need to be able to run CS4 32 bit. Unfortunately, when I try to open CS4-32, it fails with the following msgs: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Has Stopped Working." Then,

The CS4-64 version continues to run as it should.
Assuming that CS6 will come with a 32 bit version when it hits the market I will be upgrading, but for now I really need a working 32 bit version of CS4.
Please help.

Help - System Info will tell you whether you're running the 64 bit or 32 bit version (look at the end of the first line). EDIT: Note that originally said Help - About and have corrected this.
Yes, Photoshop CS6 provides both a 32 and 64 bit version. In fact, it should have installed both on your system.
Normally the two versions don't get into eachothers' hair, EXCEPT for file associations, which may explain the mixup you're having where Bridge runs the last version installed. I doubt it has to do with your crash though.
Have you copied any plug-ins or set an Extra plug-ins folder so that there could be a mixup between the two versions?
Have you checked to see if your display driver has been updated? Go to the web site of the maker of your video card and download the version that matches your hardware and OS. Display driver updates solve many problems.

Photoshop CS4 will not open newer RAW format

I have CS4 with latest updates, Camera Raw 5.7 and my CR2 images will not open. I have a Canon EOS Rebel T3i.
I have searched for over 2 hours looking for a solution and according to what I have read I should have what I need to open these files.
When I go into Adobe Exchange to find a possible program, it takes me to a page that wants me to download the Adobe Exchange Panel. However
this is only available to CC or CS6, neither of them I have. I can't get past this page. So I guess Exchange no long exists for those of us with older programs.
I really hardly ever use this program, but since I need it to open my RAW photos.
I can't afford to upgrade this program at this time and I find it odd they cut off the Exchange area for everything else.
If someone could help me figure out how to get my photos to open in this program without having to buy yet another program that would be wonderful.
I do not use this enough to justify the cost of the upgrade. What is missing that I need? The compaitable chart says I have the correct version for my camera. I am at a loss.
I am sure somewhere someone has asked this before, but for the life of me I can't find one that is based on my criteria, that will help me with my problem.
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
My System specs:
Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHZ
4GB Memory
GeForce GTX 460 Video 1GB Dedicaed Memory
64Bit Windows 7

The Canon T3i was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.4
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
ACR 6.4 is only compatible with CS5 and later. It is not compatible with CS4 so CS4 cannot open Raw T3i files..
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
To open Raw files in Photoshop, your options are to update to CS6 or the Cloud.
The other option is to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert all Raw files from the T3i to DNGs. That adds an extra step to your workflow every time you shoot photos. Then open and edit the DNGs in CS4.

If you hardly touch Photoshop, another option may be to buy Photoshop Elements 12. Then you can open and edit Raw files from the T3i but you'll have the more limited Elements toolset. You could then export to TIFF and open the TIFFs in CS4 if necessary.

Thank you very much, Chris Cox. I followed the link in the error message to Apple's support page, downloaded and installed the Java for Mac OSX.
I can now open my PS CS4 again. What a relief!
Many thanks for your fast response and accurate advice.

Illustrator CS4 will not open in XP Professional

Hello,
Although I am running Windows XP Professional AI CS4 will not open on my computer.
Photoshop and InDesign work perfectly but Illustrator seems unable to recognize the XP operating system and gives an error message accordingly.
Please see the attachment.
If anyone has any ideas about how to cure this please tell me.
Thanks for your consideration,
cobaltgreen

If I recall correctly, the issue is introduced by an incorrect install/ update of .NET runtimes (one of the newer versions, 3.5 I think). I've seen the message myself on one of my systems, but I'm not really sure how I fixed it. Reason however dictates, that manually initiating a Windows Update or downloading .NET installers from Microsoft's pages, would be one thing to try. If the solution floats to the top from the murky depths of my brain, I'll report back.
