Switch from cs4 to cs5

can someone please remind me how to move my actions and plug ins from cs4 to cs5?

Copy them from the folders
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Actions
and
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Actions
into the analogous CS5-folders.
(~ meaning your user account)
Edit: Previously unsaved CS4-Actions you would need to save first (or save them directly into the CS5-folders).

Moving swatches from CS4 to CS5

I have just bought AI CS5 and have not been able to switch over all my saved swatches in "user defined" from CS4 to CS5. Can someone advise me on how to do this? thanks.

If you are on a Mac the user folder is here:
Macintosh HD/Users/your user name/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings/en_US (or whichever language you use) . And the CS5 folder is in teh same place only called Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings.
I would use the ase export though and then import into AI CS5.

Porting from CS4 to CS5, save document failed.

I am porting programes from CS4 to CS5, and meet a problem.
In my program I need delete some page from a indesign document and then save it back.
I open the document use the code below
InterfacePtr<IK2ServiceRegistry>    serviceRegistry(Porting::GetPointerToSession(), UseDefaultIID());
        ASSERT(serviceRegistry);
        if (!serviceRegistry)
            break;
        InterfacePtr<IK2ServiceProvider> openManagerService(serviceRegistry->QueryDefaultServiceProvider(kOpenManagerService));
        ASSERT(openManagerService);
        if (!openManagerService)
            break;
        InterfacePtr<IOpenManager> openManager(openManagerService, IID_IOPENMANAGER); // no kDefaultIID
        ASSERT(openManager);
        if (!openManager)
            break;
        UniFile fileDocument = fTemplateCopyFile;
        UIDRef DocumentRef = openManager->OpenDocFromFile(&fileDocument,kFullUI);
and then delete some page
for( int i = 0; i < fnPageCountOfCopy; ++i )
            UID idPage = fvPageUID[i];
            if ( fPageIDList.DoesNotContain(idPage) )
                UIDRef refPageToDelete( fTemplateCopyUIDRef.GetDataBase(), idPage );
                InterfacePtr<ICommand> deleteCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kDeletePageCmdBoss ));
                if( deleteCmd )
                    UIDList tempList(refPageToDelete);
                    deleteCmd->SetItemList( tempList );
                    ErrorCode status = CmdHelper::ProcessCommand( deleteCmd );
then save it back
pOldHandler->SaveAs(fTemplateCopyUIDRef,
            &fTemplateCopyFile,
            K2::kSuppressUI,
            kFalse,
            kInDesignFileTypeInfoID);
but save failed. The code works on CS4, but does not work on CS5.
Does anybody know why? Any suggestion is appreciated.

I found that delete operation will affect save operation, but I don't know why and how to solve it.
Is it a threading problem?

How can I upgrade from CS4 to CS5/CS6?

Hi, I really need to upgrade my Adobe suite from CS4 to CS5 or higher. From reading in this forum you are unable to do it, but those posts were from 2012. Wondering if this is still current and if anyone can help me? Do I need to buy the entire suite again from scratch? Surely not?
I have a student version by the way.
Thanks!

You cannot upgrade from Photoshop CS4. Those days are long past.
While you can buy a full license for (the now outdated) Photoshop CS6, your most cost effective alternative may be to consider the Creative Cloud "Photographer's Bundle" subscription...

Upgrade from CS4 to CS5--what functions in CS4 do I lose?

By grading from CS5 to CS4, what functions will I lose in CS4? I see that the "upgrade" button is greyed out in CS4. Anything else?

Just to be clear (and I don't think I was originally)...the upgrade is from CS4 to CS5. I see that CS4 is still available and operating. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't become "dead" after upgrading to CS5.
Thanks for all the information and responses.

Copy actions from CS4 to CS5

Can't find out how to copy my own default actions from CS4 to CS5. I have found something called "imported" actions in CS4 and copied those - which worked - but I have other default actions that I cannot find out to copy from CS4 to CS5.

Hi there! Mac User ...
How do I move/copy my old actions from the CS4 actions folder to the CS5 one?
Where is the location of those folders on my system?
Many thanks!
If you have them in the standard location for CSX they will be in:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CSX/Presets/Actions/
Where 'X' is 4 or 5.

Porting from CS4 to CS5

Im trying to port some plugins from CS4 to CS5. During the process I encounter several errors. Once of them is listed below.
Error 1 fatal error C1189: #error : DEBUG and NDEBUG are out of sync! // $$$ need to set NDEBUG in release builds c:\program files\adobe\cs5\indesign product sdk\source\public\includes\K2Debugging.h 53

Pectora:
Check the C++/Preprocessor/Preprocessing Definitions field in your Project Properties dialog. Make sure that your Debug version has a "DEBUG" definition placed in there, and that your release version has an "NDEBUG" definition placed in there someplace. My guess is that either you left one of them out, or that you have the DEBUG definition in your release properties. Other possibilities are a failure to separate definitions properly or misspelling.
HTH!
P.S. I am assuming that you are working with VS8 on a Windows box. This information should be included in your next submission just to make sure we are all working from the same starting point.

Copy New Document Presets from CS4 to CS5.5

I had a number of document presets saved in InDesign CS4 and just realized that I don't know how to copy them from CS4 to CS5.5 so I don't have to recreate them again (which is what I've done in previous upgrades). I haven't found anythng that helps with the name or location of the presets. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I am constantly losing my CS4 Indesign page presets. I did the define and stored the files. Today, I lost them again, so went to load my saved files, but only one preset saved. Not sure if it was the first preset saved or the last. Do you have to save for every document preset you make? I would think this would all be on one file. I am going to try again, just incase I forgot to save it correctly.

Easiest way to transfer 3rd party plugins from CS4 to CS5?

CS5 is arriving tomorrow and I'd be grateful for a steer on the least painful way to move third party plugins from CS4 to CS5. I am running W7 64bit. Can I just copy the plugin folders at Program Files/Adobe/PhotopshopCS4 etc...Plugins and Program Files (86)/Adobe/PhotoshopCS4 etc. and replace the equivalent folders in CS5 with them?
Thanks.

Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS was reworked on a fundamental level to be able to run as a 64-application under the 64-bit versions of Mac OS. Because of this, old and 32-bit plug-ins won't run, can return errors, or cause crashes when you use them in either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Photoshop. See below for instructions on how to open Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit and 32-bit modes.
How to run Photoshop CS5 in 32-bit and 64-bit modes
To run Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS as a 32-bit application:
Select the Adobe Photoshop CS5 application file, installed by default in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder.
Choose File > Get Info, and select Open in 32 Bit Mode.
Deselect this option to run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit mode.
To run Photoshop CS5 in Windows as a 32-bit application:
Close Photoshop CS5.
Navigate to the Program Files (x86) > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder..
Double-click the Adobe Photoshop CS5.exe file.
To run Photoshop CS5 in Windows as a 64-bit application (if your version of Windows and your hardware supports 64-bit):
Close Photoshop CS5.
Navigate to the Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder..
Double-click the Adobe Photoshop CS5.exe file.

Switching from CS4 & LR5 on Windowns desktops to CS+LR monthly subcription for Mac: be aware of, or beware of, before/during?

Just switching from CS4 & LR5 on Windowns desktops to CS+LR monthly subcription for Mac, with catalogues, files etc residing on external HDD (multi-location living; lots of travel). Anything I need to be particularly aware of, or beware of, before/during? Thanks a lot for suggestions, recommendations, tips, experiences. Best, Joachim

Hi Joachim,
I suggest that you post this question on the Lightroom forum: Photoshop Lightroom.

SEO changes from CS4 to CS5

My site that mainly has Flash was recently updated with a file made from CS5. In my google dashboard there are a lot of new keywords that are only in the Flash file. My page ranking also dropped from 4 to 11. Does anyone know if any changes from CS4 to CS5 could have caused this? If so, what can I do to disable this compatibility with search engines?

I am not an expert on SEO matters and do not keep up with advancements relative to it. It is unlikely the Flash version has anything to do with your SEO rankings. SEO is based on the information that the engines can see when they read the page. You should be able to see the words you mention listed in the embedding code if they are being included in your dashboard. Flash will create comment tags in the html for different key elements in a file such as links used and whatnot. As far as I know, they cannot yet see inside the Flash file, only the external embedding code that is used.

Transfering a file label from CS4 to CS5

I have photos in Bridge CS4 that are labeled in colors. I did change the name of the label from, e.g. Red to Printed, in CS4. When I open the folders that contain the photos in Bridge CS5 the label color is white. Is there a way to transfer the colors from CS4 to CS5???

In actual fact a label is just text. If you changed the "red" label in CS4 to "Printed" then you will have to make the same change in CS5. If the label text of the image does not match what was defined in the Bridge preferences then the label colour shows as white.

Import menu from CS4 into CS5 ?

Hi
I made a project and saved in CS4. In that project I made a menu and saved as a set in the library.
Now I opened the project in CS5 but cannot find the menu set I made in CS4.
How can I import the menu set from CS4 into CS5?
Thanks

Hi,
Menu saved location is different for CS4 and CS5.
You can save the menu as menu file or menu template from
Menu -> Save menu as file or save menu as template.
Or
you can copy you menu set from CS4 to CS5.
Below is the location where menu set saved -
Win -
C:\Users\<userName>\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Encore\4.0\Library\<setName>\<FileName>
copy this file to
C:\Users\<userName>\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Encore\5.0\Library\<setName>\<FileName>
Mac
/Users/<UserName>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Encore/4.0/Library/<setName>/<FileName>
copy this file to
/Users/<UserName>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Encore/5.0/Library/<setName>/<FileName>
Thanks,

How to transition from cs4 to cs5 safely?...

Hi,
My company is upgrading from cs4 to cs5, I have photoshop files with a lot of layers for website mockups that I will need to open and keep working on those. My concern is, if we upgrade, would I be able to open my old cs4 psd files in cs5 with all the layers intact? are the any risks or anything I should do before I get cs5 installed. We use window pc.
Thanks

Going from CS4 to CS5 will be no problem with file compatibility. Are you sure you are not upgrading to CS6? CS5 is no longer sold by Adobe.
In CS6 there are some features for advanced editing that will not be seen in CS4. However, if you have maximize compatibility checked you can still view them.
Suggest leaving CS4 on machine so you can have it available if needed. There is no conflicts between programs, although you can only have one running at a time.

The switch should be straight forward but I would start by uninstalling LR 5. This is because there is no specific CC version of Lightroom and you can’t run the creative cloud version and the perpetual version on the same machine. Your catalog and images will be safe and will not be affected by uninstalling. CS4 will not be affected and will still work independently.
Then launch CC desktop and go to the Apps tab. I would recommend installing in this order:
Photoshop CC 2014
Photoshop CC (if you need this to run old plug-ins)
Lightroom 5
If you install in that order LR will automatically recognize Photoshop for external editing from the LR Library.
