Starting Photoshop application question

Hi Ive just started the 30 day trial in photoshop and this may sound like a silly question but how do you get into the actual application?

Can you at the very least tell us your platform, Mac or Win, and the version of Photoshop you downloaded?
You need to extract the download, install the application and launch it. In order to guide you, a lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

Photoshop application question.

What version of photoshop is required to move a portion of one digital image into another digital image?
Moving a person not included in the original group shot from another digital photo into the group shot.

You can do it with Photoshop (Standard or Extended).

Starting photoshop.exe with start parameters, or an application start script

hi all,
I need to start photoshop for a mass of files and need to automate the photoshop start.
I would have some questions:
- does photoshop CS6 support any start parameters passed via the command line?
such as: photoshop -f xxxx.PSD
- is there any documentation?
- is it possible to call photoshop from an actionscript program and pass start
parameters?
I found one sample, but this does not work (anymore) with CS6.
- of course, I can define a script being executed at application start, i.e. when
photoshop starts. but this script would always be executed, also outside of
my automation context. or I would need to define and undefine it's execution
to apply the automated photoshop call
did anybody solve such problems? how?
best
stephen

There may be several ways you can get details into Photoshop
You can write the details to a file and get your script to read that file.
Another option would be to start Photoshop set some temp vars then run your script and read them.
As an example of setting a var in Photoshop using VBS ...
Option Explicit
Dim objRegistry, Key, Info,fso,appRef,Script
Function ReadReg(RegPath)
Set objRegistry = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
Key = objRegistry.RegRead(RegPath)
ReadReg = Key
End Function
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set appRef = CreateObject( "Photoshop.Application" )
Info = ReadReg("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0\ApplicationPath")
Script = "$.setenv('Registry','" & Info & "\');"
appRef.DoJavaScript( Script )
You can get the result with..
alert($.getenv('Registry'));
Another alternative is to create your script on the fly then run it.

Error Message "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe unable to locate. This application failed to start because ExtendedScript.dll was not found". This error message is seen when first starting Windows Vista, prior to starting Photoshop Elements 12.

Error Message "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe unable to locate. This application failed to start because ExtendedScript.dll was not found".
This error message is seen every time when first starting Windows Vista, PRIOR to starting Photoshop Elements 12.1
It does not seem to interfere with the normal operation of Photoshop Elements, but it is a constant annoyance.

I can no longer start some applications (i.g. Office and Photoshop)

Hi!
Since a few weeks i can no longer start some applications in Mac OS Tiger that worked perfectly before:
- The complete Microsoft Office suite (incl. Update)
- Finale PrintMusic
- Adobe Photoshop
When I try to start them, their symbols just jump some times in the dock and then disappear again.
I deinstalled Finale PrintMusik in order to reinstall it afterwards. But when I double-click the install-file from the cd it's the same: it jumps and disappears.
I repaired my permissions, ran the daily, weekly and monthly scripts and reset the P-RAM.
Any ideas?
Thanks

This problem occurred for many people after updating to QuickTime 7.2, and was traced to Java 6:

If that isn't the case for you, you might be able to fix the problem just by updating prebindings:

Starting an application? (newbie question)

Is there something built in to JMX that allows me to start applications or must I write my own agent that spawns the process.
Thanks...

The question is a little unclear.
You can start an application with JMX monitoring enabled using the properties such as -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote, documented at <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/management/agent.html>.
If you have an application and you want to be able to cause it to spawn another application via JMX (for example, connect jconsole to it and invoke a "spawn" operation on some MBean), then there is nothing built in to the JMX API for that, but it should be quite easy to write your own MBean that does it.

Unable to start photoshop CC 2014. Error 0xC0000076. Help please?

I downloaded photoshop CC 2014 but when I start the application. A dialog saying, "This application was unable to start correctly. Error 0xC0000076." I am using Window 7. Anyone has the same problem? Anyone has a solution too?

After spending half a day on Adobe forum and Adobe's online support chat, no solution was found. Finally figured it on my own. I went to Microsoft site and downloaded the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 for x86 and x64. When the download is complete, click on the exe file. It will ask you whether you want to repair or uninstall. Click on repair.
After the repair, Photoshop CC 2014 starts normal. Hope this will work for you as well.

I have the Photographer's Creative Cloud membership. My fees are taken out everymonth on time. However, I am asked almost everytime I start Photoshop to relicense the software. What is wrong?

A year ago, I had the same problem of having to re-license my software every time I started it up. I could actually find a number to call and got great help fixing the problem. It is happening again and I have been having trouble trouble finding a number. Maybe someone here knows what I need to do to make the licensing procedure stick. It is annoying to have to re-license every time I start Photoshop. Sometimes it is worse because I have to restart Photoshop in order to open a file in ACR from Bridge which usually means that I have to re-license the saftware again.

fstearns,
After deleting contents of SLCache and renaming SLStore folder, it will autocreate fresh new SLCache files and create new SLStore folder.
It should pop up Adobe Application manager window with "License this software" option.
Please check with below steps:
A]
1)Open Control Panel and then click on the option "Network and Internet" .
2)Click on Internet options, click on 'Connections' tab.
3)In the 'Connections' tab, select 'LAN' settings, you will be able to view the Local area network settings box.
4)Check the box-"Automatically Detect Settings" and then "uncheck" all the other check boxes like 'Use automatic configuration script', 'Use a proxy server' , Bypass proxy server' ,then click on ok button .
5)Click on "LAN settings" button again , make sure "Automatically Detect Settings" is the only option selected, keep the LAN properties window open.
[because some times in windowdsLAN settings changes by itself eventhough we set to detect settings Automatically ]
6)Disable Firewall temporarily.
B)
Delete Adobe Application Manager from C:drive>Program Files(x86)>Common Files>Adobe.
Then click on below link and download Adobe Application manager and install the same:
Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager : Thank You
Once the installation process is completed , look for Adobe Application Manager shortcut icon on Desktop and double click on it .
It will start update process, once it is completed , it will launch Creative Cloud desktop application.
If already signed in , you can leave it as it is. if not please sign in with valid Adobe ID and Password.
Then launch Photoshop cc 2014 application and try to activate.
If this solution does nor work , try below step :
C]
Close all Adobe applications and Quit Creative Cloud desktop application.
Launch Task Bar and click on " Processes" Tab , in the same , check the box " Show Processes from all users" .
Then end all Adobe related processes like Creative Cloud, CoreSync, Armsvc, AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon...etc process from Task manager.
Press Windows button (located between Ctrl and Alt buttons) along with R button together at a time , you will get a run command window.
Type in below command and hit 'Enter' key.
appdata
Then navigate to Local>Adobe>OOBE. Open OOBE folder and delete opm file.
Once you had deleted opm.db file , launch Creative Cloud desktop application , it will ask for sign in.
Then Sign in with valid Adobe ID.
And try to launch Photoshop cc2014 and try activating the same.
If none of these steps work , check if there is any Adobe entries is present in the Hosts file which is blocking the activation process.
1)Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and look for file named hosts inside etc folder.
2)Copy the hosts file to Desktop and open the same with notepad and check.
If Adobe entries are present remove it and replace the edited Hosts back to Etc folder and select replace option.
If none of the above works, you need to contact Adobe Technical Support via Phone or Live Chat.
Just for information : The Ultimate final step is complete removal of all Adobe applications and Adobe folders from all locations:
In windows Adobe folders are created in 8 locations .

Can't start Photoshop - 'Could not open a scratch file'

Hi, I recently installed Photoshop CS5, however every time I open the application, I am receiving this error message at the loading screen:
"Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders."
I've looked online for solutions everywhere, but I've obviously been unsuccessful and I'm at the point where I have no idea what else to try, other than a clean install of my OS, however that is a last resort as I currently do not have an external hard drive to transfer my files to do so. So far I have tried these things:
Reinstalled Photoshop many times, even the CS6 BETA is giving me the same error.
Deleted preference files within /Library/Preferences/
Used the cmd+alt shortcut when starting Photoshop to select a different scratch disk location.
Used the cmd+alt+shift shortcut to delete the settings file, which I cannot do as the error message mentioned above appears before the window for deleting the settings file does.
Tried rebooting several times, even into safemode and I still get the same message.
Tried changing the permissions on the Applications folder, Adobe folder, CS5 folder and CS5 application, however they are all set to 'read & write access' for me. I am also set as an administrator.
Cleaned my cache of any unneccessary files.
I have also repaired my permissions using Disk Utility, but that didn't solve the problem.
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro, 4GB RAM running OS X Lion 10.7.3 with 2 patitions on my harddrive (OS X and Windows 7). I have 15GB free on my OS X partition currently, which may not seem like much, however I have run Photoshop CS5 previously as a trial and other versions of Photoshop and the small amount of harddrive space has never affected the software's ability to create a scratch file.
The strange thing, however, is that I can use Photoshop CS5 & CS6 on a guest account that I created recently, which means that the problem I am having is permissions based. Logging into a seperate account is a good enough solution for now, but it is incredibly tedious to keep changing accounts just to use Photoshop.
Has anyone got any other ideas? As I mentioned previously, reinstalling is a last resort as I currently don't have the neccessary resources.
Thanks.

I managed to fix this myself, almost by accident, after failing every method suggested that I came across.
My problem was due to 'read only' access being set to some folders in ~/private/ on my main account, meaning that Photoshop could not create an important, temporary scratch file in this location.
To anyone else who comes across this thread due to having the same problem, here's the solution:
Open finder, then go to 'Go' in the menu bar and select 'Go to folder'
In the window that opens, enter '/private/' and click 'Go'
Then, right click on the folder 'tmp' within /private/ and select 'Get info'
In here, scroll to the permissions section and change the relevent user permissions to 'read and write'
Before closing this window, click on the gear icon underneath the list of users and select 'Apply to enclosed items' and hit 'Ok' in the next window.
Finally, repeat steps 3 - 5 for the folder named 'var', also within /private/ and you're done. Photoshop should now open as intended!
Although this solution was ideal for my home laptop, giving 'read and write' access to important folders like these can probably lead to lowered security so please do it at your own risk.

I keep getting the error message "could not open a scratch file because the file is locked" even after resetting my preferences. I have to use Ctrl, Alt, Shift to start photoshop every time

I'm unable to start Photoshop without holding down Ctrl, Alt, Shift each time I open it. Also Lightroom is now unable to open photos in Photoshop. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this.

Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

Moved Photoshop Application to my Desktop for easy access and now recieving an error message, help?

Installed CS6 Design and Web Premium, then moved Photoshop Application to my Desktop from Program Files for easy access and now recieving an error message, saying application is unable to start correctly. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this please?

Move the application back where it belongs, with all it's support files.
You can make a SHORTCUT to the application, and place it on the desktop if you wish.

Help, cannot set references to Photoshop.Application in VBA

Hello,
I have used CS5 in the past and have had a well-functioning VBA program (running within Access 2010) that ran fine, opens 32-bit Photoshop, and controlled photoshop CS5 normally, allowing me to manipulate photos, read metadata, etc. (It was my understanding that at least for CS5, scripting programs including VBA needed to run the 32 bit version of Photoshop, not the 64 bit version.)
I installed CS6 about 6 months ago and the VBA program continued to work just fine, provided it still opened the 32 bit version. (I had to be sure I was not running 64 bit Photoshop when I started the VBA program). CS5 was still installed but not being used.
I just uninstalled CS5, leaving CS6 installed. For some reason, this left the VBA program disrupted in that the References (which you set in the VBA code window with Tools > References) no longer appear to be valid. I am unable to set a new Reference to Photoshop.Application and the program has become unusable. That is, the "Available References" no longer list Adobe Photoshop CS6 Type Library or Adobe Photoshop CS6 Object Library. I browsed to the the file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\TypeLibrary.tlb to add this reference manually. The programs still does not compile (i.e., Dim appRef As New Photoshop.Application causes an error "User Defined Type not defined"). I get the same failure to compile if I browse to and install a reference to the 32-bit version, C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\TypeLibrary.tlb. In the past, I also had a reference to the "Adobe Photoshop CS6 Object Library". I have tried to manually set this to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Photoshop.exe or to the 64 bit version of Photoshop.exe, but these files are not accepted and I do not otherwise know the file location of the Object Library.
I very much need help from someone who knows how to fix this problem in transitioning from CS5 to CS6 for using VBA.
Thank you,
EGibbon

There are global keys that get overwritten with each version of Photoshop. Photoshop.Application for example gets set for each install of Photoshop. When you uninstalled CS5 those keys got removed.
Can you install CS6 again? You don't need to uninstall. Just install again if it will let you.
I have a script that wil set them but I don't really like to use it on other folks machines as it messes with the registry and I don't want to make it worse for you.
