Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS

After installing Snow Leopard, I started having problems with Photoshop CS and cannot afford to upgrade or buy CS 3, 4, or 5. I was wondering if I could uninstall SL now, or if I will have problems doing so? Thank you anyone.... I am new here....

you are probably best served by going back to your pre-10.6 back up (if CS worked for you there) because I am fairly certain Photoshoip CS1 will not run on an Intel processor under 10.6, sorry
Adobe has great student discounts on Photoshop (if you wanted to invest in forward movement)

  • Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS3

    My wife is currently running Leopard 10.5.8 along with Photoshop CS3. Are there any compatibility issues that anybody is aware of if she upgrades to Snow Leopard (and higher)? She runs a number of add-on Photoshop-compatible actions as well and wants to be sure these won't be impaired if she elects to move to the newer OS. Thanks!

    She may have a few problems with the various aspects of CS3 according to this very useful compatibility guide.

    It seems CS4 is the better path to take using Snow Leopard.

  • Epson Artisan 810 and Snow Leopard and Photoshop....Print quality??

    I'm a little lost to be honest. I'm not sure where my problem is...Photoshop, Epson, or Snow Leopard
    I'm using Photoshop CS4 to edit my photos. I've constrained my cropping to designated print sizes, thus pixelation changes as well.
    For example to create an 8x10 from a jpeg file uploaded to my computer from my camera (a sony cybershot dsc-w170 if you need to know, which by default upload files as jpegs), here is the following image info:
    3000 pixels x 2400 pixels
    25.4 cm x 20.32 cm
    with a resolution of 300 pixels/inch
    I have the resolution set to BEST and when I print I've tried both document and proof quality (with printer color managment)
    I'm using photo paper, gloss, but not Epson brand paper (don't know how much that might be contributing to the problem, if at all).
    When I go to print my image the quality off the Epson is HORRIBLE.
    Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?? How do I get better print quality?
    There is no option/method of changing the print type (document or photo) on the printer itself, which is obviously made to work best with a PC. So that leaves me with Photoshops options as far as I know.
    Although I don't know if there's a way to change default print quality settings within Snow Leopard, or if I even have to.
    Whatever the case may be...ultimately I need to know the following:
    paper brand/quality matters?
    what program should I be trying to print photos from (photoshop, iphoto, whatever)
    how to manipulate the photo quality within whichever program I should be using
    and anything else important that I may not have thought of
    Thanks so much. I've seen great reviews of photo print quality for this printer, so I have hope that this problem can be remedied....?

    Your printer is supported by the latest update supplied by Apple.
    Cheap paper usually results in cheap looking results.
    I'm using HP paper with a HP printer with a Canon Eos Rebel camera that outputs
    something like 2592 x 1944.
    CS4 handels these .jpgs quite fine.
    I would first buy some premium Epson paper and see what happens.

  • What happened with Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS5?

    I know that photoshop uses a ton of resources and RAM but it was remarkably smooth and efficient with Leopard. Why is Snow Leopard so different? I can't even use it anymore and I can't afford to purchase a new mac. Is there a fix or do I need a ton of more RAM?
    Thanks,
    bob

    I may have found my own solution. I didn't know that CS5 had an update to address a lot of bugs. I'm betting that Snow Leopard is one of them. The version is 12.4.

  • Snow Leopard and Adobe Photoshop CS4

    Hi!
    I've recently switched from custom built PCs to a Mac workstation, mainly for professional photography and editing purposes. I use photoshop roughly 12 hours a day (if not more...sigh), so switching to Mac would, in my mind, streamline and enhance my work experience.
    ...and it has!
    However, Photoshop CS4 will often crash when doing a "Save as", which is the whole reason behind my post. I've tried fixes found around the internet (rebooting in Safe mode, turning Open GL off, reducing the ram used to 50%....I'm at the one where they're telling me to turn off and on the network...we'll see how that works!).
    The other very strange thing with this whole thing, are 3 small scrambled windows that open with photoshop. I'll post a link to a screenshot :
    http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/949/screenshot20100115at105.png
    Obviously I'm posting this in this forum, because I haven't had any of those issues when I was on my PC.
    Oh, and as for the crash, it's more like a constant spinning beach ball.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Specs :
    iMac i5
    8GB o' ram
    1 TB WD external USB2.0 drive attached, using Time Machine on it.
    OSX 10.6.2

    Have you talked to Adobe about this issue? I have used Photoshop CS4 on Snow Leopard, and havn't seen any issues. However, the scrambled windows look like what Top Sites in Safari looked like before they (supposedly—I still get it occasionally) fixed it in 10.6.2.
    Speaking of which, try re-installing the 10.6.2 combo update.
    Also, try using the uninstallers to remove Photoshop (don't forget to deactivate first), and then re-install it.

  • Is it possible to have both Snow Leopard and Lion at same time on one machine without creating a mess?

    I currently use Snow Leopard because I like the way it preserves the operation of OS10 PPC programs.  I have both an expensive CAD program and Adobe Photoshop CS3 which are PPC programs.
    Can you launch your machine with Lion when you want to use that, and launch with Snow Leopard when you want that.  Its too bad Lion does not support PPC OS10.

    Absollutely. This is a very common practice whenever a new OS or OS update comes out. By far the best way to do what you want is to install Lion onto an external firewire 800 disk, then boot off it when you want to use Lion and boot off your iMac's internal disk when you want to use Snow Leopard. USB 2 will work, but firewire 800 will be faster.
    The second best option is to partition your iMac's boot drive, then use one partition for Snow Leopard and the other for Lion, but be sure to back up your boot drive to an external disk drive before you partition it.
    You can switch operating systems during a restart by holding down the option key.

  • Strange problem with Snow Leopard and Netware

    Here is a strange one, but I am posting it here because I think it may have something to do with Apple software in Snow Leopard. I recently upgraded my Aluminum iMac to Snow Leopard, and have seen the following, rather puzzling behavior in the Prosoft Engineering client for Novell Netware. The symptoms are as follows. The server volumes mount OK, and I am able to see the files that are located on the server. In column view, when I select a file, I am able to see a preview of the file. Likewise, I can use Quickview to preview the contents of the file. However, when I try to drag a file from the server to my hard drive (any location), I get a dialog box saying I don't have permission to read that file. If I do a get info on the file, it says I have permission to read and write. For graphics files (such as Tiff, which have Preview as their default viewer), double clicking on the file causes Preview to open, but the file isn't opened. Now, what is really strange, if I use Photoshop CS1 to open that same file, it opens fine, and I am able to save it on the desktop, as usual. Likewise, if it is a Word or Excel file, they can be opened in their application, and saved on my hard drive. Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on, and how I can restore normal behavior?
    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately I don't know what's going on, but we're having the same issue at work on two Mac Pro machines. We installed Snow and everything's been running as good as before or better - except for this issue. One machine had a clean install and one had an update install, and both are exhibiting behavior identical in every detail to what you describe.
    We've contacted Prosoft and they're looking into it; official word on their website is that Snow Leopard is fully supported.

  • Snow leopard and photshop elements 4

    Hi. Apple have transferred photoshop elements 4 onto my new imac with snow leopard and I find I can't pull photos through from the iphoto library using the "open" facility in pse4. Is this an unsolvable scenario - or is there a wrok around?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    As far as I could tell, I couldn't run Photoshop Elements 4 on an Intel Mac. Version 6 is available and can run from an Intel Mac. You might be able to change PSE 4 to be Intel Mac compatible if your plugins aren't PowerPC based by selecting Open in Rosetta from the application's Get Info window in the Finder.
    If that doesn't work http://www.lemkesoft.com/ 's GraphicConverter is a low cost alternative to Photoshop Elements on Snow Leopard.

  • Can I install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on the same version of VMWare 5?

    Even though I am running Apple OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on my new 2013 iMac, I have just installed VMWare's "Fusion 5" so I can have Windows 7 installed on the "Fusion 5, for limited usage needs.
    I also would like to have a running version of Snow Leopard available to run my large collection of original Lynda.com training DVD's and CD's ... which unfortunately, now only allow the Lynda.com GUI player to operate in (and up to) Snow Leopard (at least this is what the Tech folks at Lynda.com have told me).
    Since Lynda.com is no longer producing any or their training programs on CD or DVD any longer, and because they have stopped supporting their training programs to run on Lion and above, I will have to have a version of Snow Leopard installed to run these training programs, and still be able to run them using the Lynda.com GUI player.
    So here's my dilemma:
    1.  Can I install both a version of Snow Leopard OS on my "VMWare "Fusion 5" .... along with a running version of Windows 7 on       the same "Fusion 5"?
    2.  Do I install only the Windows 7 on the VMWare, and find some other "device" to run a version of Snow Leopard off of?
    3.  Do I consider using "BootCamp", in conjunction with "Fusion 5", to get access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7?
    Has anyone had any experience installing BOTH a previous (older) version of Apple OSX  ... AND ... a Windows OS version on one installed version of VMWare "Fusion"?
    OR
    Any suggestions on how to set up having access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 .... while keeping OS Mountain Lion as my main OS?

    Thanks ... the "You have to purchase Snow Leopard Server" I knew about, and a few days ago I just ordered a copy from the Apple Store:
    Snow Leopard Server - Ordered at: 1-800-692-7753 ... OR ... 1-866-254-8313
    I asked for Apple Snow Leopard Server (Model MC588Z/A (SLSVR)
    "Unlimited Client License"
    It was around $25.50 (USD) with sales tax and shipping (NYS).
    One thing though ... when you mention:  "you should make two virtual machines".
    Not being too familiar with "Fusion 5" yet, Is setting up "two machine" all done under one installed version of "Fusion 5"?
    Would you have "links" to any "Fusion 5" installation instructions/info for setting up the
    "two machines" (one for Snow Leopard and one for Windows 7)?

  • I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on.  The Tech told me to

    I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion.  Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine.  Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer.  I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs.  Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
    When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it.  Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

    Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
    Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
    Revert to a Previous OS X
    Revert to Snow Leopard
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

  • Am using Macbook pro mid 2010 running on OSX 10.9.5. It does not read my old Seagate back up plus ITB ext hard disk which opens and works on snow leopard. The back ups were made on snow leopard and mountain lion. How do I make it work on Mavericks?

    I have been making back ups on a Seagate Back up plus drive on a macbook pro running on Mountain lion. Sadly the mac was stolen and all I had was the seagate back up. I tried opening it on my old iMac running on snow leopard and after several visits to this forum managed to open it. The data was safe and sound. Now I have received a hand me down macbook pro which runs on osx 10.9.5. I'm assuming there is a compatability issue as the drive does not come on at all when I hook it up to the usb port. I checked the seagate drive once again on the imac and its light came on on that system. Then I suspected there may be a problem with this macbook pro usb port. But it seemed to work fine when i hooked my camera cord into it. Is it that I must reinstall mavericks. In which case how do I back up before reformatting or reinstalling. BTW I did the command+ R thingy and repaired my internal Hard disc which was showing errors. What do I do next, your help is most appreciated if you have had a similar problem.

    Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
    It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
    Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
    I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
    My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was.

  • I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2. My problem is I can't search on an external network server for a file with the finder toolbar anymore. Nothing shows up and it will not search. I was able to in snow-leopard and am no longer able to w. Lion. Suggestions?

    I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2.
    My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.
