Trouble In Photoshop CS4

Hello
Trouble In Photoshop CS4
Windows 7 build 7100
Proved when Photoshop opens and closes the window
Is there a solution
Trouble
Proved Photoshop CS4 when
Opens the window and disappear in less than a sec
This problem in Photoshop CS4 Only
Program Illustrator CS4 Works very well

My PS CS4 is working great in Windows 7 RC.
When you bought the CS4 software did you buy it as a download or did you buy the CD?
Either way you still have to run the install as administrator.
Look in event viewer. If CS4 hung like that event viewer would record it.
With Windows 7 RC your on your own. Here is a helpful website:

Trouble installing Photoshop CS4 on MacBook OS X 10.7.5

I am having trouble installing Photoshop CS4 on my MacBook OS X 10.7.5. I have downloaded the software and when I go to install it gets hung up on the 'preparing to install' screen.

your installation logs will need to be checked: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html

Im having trouble installing photoshop CS4.

i deleted all my adobe products so i could reinstalled photoshop cs4 but now when i try to install photoshop cs4 i get this message and cant get rid of it..
" Steup error "
"Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer support for assistance."
can sum1 help me plz!!

The Adobe Cleanscript CS4 should take care of things. On the Premiere fora, we normally recommend that one run it several times, rebooting between each.
Also, here is a general CHECKLIST for installing most Adobe programs.
Good luck,

Trouble with photoshop(cs4) manages colours

Hello there. I have callibrated my printer, and have callibrated my monitor monthly over the three months since I purchased my Color Munki. I have set up a printer profile that I want to use. I have CS4 and using a "two up view" for soft- proofing, the copy to be printed (on screen) was at first rather dull with a green cast and with blacks greyed off compared to the master copy and very difficult to match the master even closely. The prints were passable after a lot of fiddling but not as good as I had hoped even compared to prints I produced before I used my own printer- paper profile .. However recently the prints have got even worse. They are really, really dark when printed even though they dont look so on screen.They also still have the colour cast etc. I have been selecting "no color management' in the printer dialogue along with the printer- paper profile. I have had to resort to using "Printer manages colour" and a generic printer paper profile again as I used to do. I am getting far better prints with good colour matches this way so it would seem that there is nothing wrong with the printer. I have concluded that it must be a problem with the colour management in my CS4 Photoshop. I have an Epson Stylus photo 1410 printer, a Dell flat screen U2410 monitor and a nikon D90 camera. I feel so disappointed after forking out for the Color Munki etc hoping to get really top class prints. .I would really appreciate some advice.

You have to make sure you have configured everything to work together - i.e., to make the printer driver expect that Photoshop is going to do the color transform.
However, there were some posts last year implying people with Epson printers were seeing "double profiling" - meaning somehow two color transforms were being invoked, and they couldn't turn the behavior off. I think at least some people just broke down and bought new printers, as Epson apparently would not fix the drivers to work properly with Photoshop CS5.
I don't know whether yours might fall under the same issue, but you could double check with Epson.com and see if there have been any newer drivers released for your model.

Trouble with Photoshop CS4 Upgrade

I recently bought a CS4 Photoshop upgrade on Ebay, but when I enter my old photoshop serial number, it says it is not valid.
The CS4 serial number works, but I cannot continue the upgrade without the CS2 serial number.
"Invalid Serial Number" comes up.

Well, there's always the chance it's a scam. In any case call serial number support or use the web chat. they can check the number and tell you what is going on.

Sounds like you have the driver problems worked out, Bazooka, but for reference:
1. Go to nVidia's web site (www.nvidia.com).
2. Click the DOWNLOAD DRIVERS link.
3. In the Option 2 section, press the [ GRAPHICS DRIVERS ] button.

Two Photoshop CS4 error messages that recently appeared

I have very recently begun having troubles with Photoshop CS4 on my work computer. I have Photoshop version 11.0.2 and OS X version 10.6.3. The error messages I'm getting are...
Could not import the clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered
This happens anytime I copy image data to the clipboard from a web-browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) This used to work and now it no longer does. If I save the file in question and open it in Photoshop it works fine, but this is kind of an inconvenience.
Could not build preview because of a problem with quicktime
This error occurs everytime I try to save an image using the "Save for Web & Devices..." dialog.
To my knowledge, I haven't changed anything related to my Adobe software recently. What would make both fo these errors suddenly start happening?

Hm, it's not that old.
But you're right. 10.6.7 update seems to have fixed this issue. Not sure why it cropped up in the first place but glad its gone. Thanks!

Re-installing Photoshop CS4

I recently ran into some trouble with Photoshop CS4, and decided to uninstall and then reinstall in the hopes it would solve the problem. I was able to uninstall Photoshop, but I've been having a problem re-installing. The Application 1 disk runs fine, but when I put in the Application 2 disk, It stops partway through the install and never continues. I don't recall having any issue installing the Creative Suite. Anyone have any answers to this problem?

You did not uninstall anything, you ran a repiar install, which - erm - just "repairs" by overwriting al lyour program files. Contrary to what the name may suggest, it usually does not fix anything, so yes, you will have to go the full mile, uninstall everything first, clean out the installer database and then reinstall. Do read the articles! Everything is covered there.

Photoshop CS4 opening up only partially

Hi!
I am having trouble getting Photoshop CS4 to fully open up on the monitor screen. It opens up and is showing just the very right side of the CS4 on the very far left side of the monitor. The resizing tabs do not work. I have to shut down and restart the whole computer because if I try to use something else bits of other displays show up in the CS4 box.
Rebecca

Sounds like another case of a display driver with a problem. Photoshop demands a lot of the display interface.
What kind of computer is it, what video card do you have in it, and what operating system are you running?
If you're comfortable with maintaining your system, visit the web site of the maker of your video card (e.g., nVidia.com, ATI.com, etc.), and download/install their latest display driver for your card. This solves many display problems with Photoshop.

*very* strange Photoshop CS4 troubles

Hello,
I'm having 2 very odd problems with Photoshop CS4 I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on. I have been using PS since the early '90s and have never seen anything like these. I don't know if they are linked or if it's just coincidence. I have installed the most recent update (11.0.2) and the problems remain.
The first began about two weeks ago. Starting about 1/4th the screen width (1920) from the left to the left edge red becomes desaturated so at the left edge it appears orange. Very annoying. I use a Quadro FX 1800 video card connected to two Dell 2408 WFP displays via DisplayPort and I have the exact same problem on both displays. I have installed the newest hardware drivers, recalibrated my displays, etc., nothing fixes it. Today I saved a red swatch as a PNG and in both Picasa PhotoViewer and MS PictureViewer there is no shift in colour across either screen.
If I set the colour swatch in the tool palette to r=255,g=0,b=0 it appears orange if it's on the left side of the photoshop window. Move it to the right and it turns red. This is the kicker... If I leave it on the left and move the whole photoshop window to the right it turns red!!! perplexed.
Problem two is another mystery and it just started today. Frequently, and more so over the past week, I copy a colour channel from one image and past it into a channel of a newly created image. It's never made a difference if I was copying a colour channel to a greyscale channel, vice versa or colour to colour. It's always worked fine. Today however I can no longer copy a channel from one image and paste it to a channel in another with one exception. I can paste a colour channel to the alpha channel in a new image. Totally useless to me. Copying layers from one image to another is no problem.
I'm really stumped with these and though the first problem is a nuisance (when I look at a colour on the screen I also look at it's numbers so I'm already a skeptic) the second is a show stopper. I would love to hear what people think of these.

Interesting problem...
I'm assuming the orange looking window in Photoshop changes to red all at once when you move it, not gradually.
It sounds just as though a wide-gamut color profile is somehow being applied to just the left part of the screen, similar to what you might see if you had a small wide profile monitor on the left and another sRGB-like monitor on the right and the desktop spanning both. Do your nVidia video drivers allow you to choose settings as though you have dual monitors? Do they offer a monitor "identify" function, or the ability to configure "dual-link" DVI? I believe that's the area in which you should look, and see if you can reset them to be configured for one monitor only.
Out of curiosity, what happens if you go into the Windows 7 Color Management dialog and uncheck the [ ] Use my settings for this device box entirely? Do you find your color again becomes consistent when an image is moved from one location to the other on the screen? Or is just the right side affected.
The Windows 7 image "Preview" viewer (e.g., right-click a .jpg image in Explorer and choose "Preview") is color-managed, by the way. It will even apply a profile to part of its image (i.e., it'll do the right thing if dragged so that it is viewable on two differently calibrated monitors), so if I'm right about the system thinking you have two monitors in one, you may be able to see the exact vertical position where the profile change occurs. It should also allow you to determine whether the problem is associated with Photoshop or on your system in general.
Consider this Windows Preview viewer run as noted above across the divide between an intentionally misconfigured monitor (with wide gamut profile) and a correctly configured one. Look familiar?

Trouble installing and activating Photoshop CS4 extended.

I have just bought the Dvd version of Photoshop CS4 and installed it on my main computer and it seemed to have installed ok and loaded ok. But when I went back to the same computer it is asking me to enter the seriel key again and wont accept the serieal number anymore. I do not know what to do, should I uninstall the software and reinstall or will this just add to the problem.
Second I also tried to install photoshpp on my second computer which I keep down stairs, again it accepted the serieal number but this time halfway through it would not install the actual photoshop and when I try to install again it does not do anything.

Hi,
One computer that can be isolated but installing it on two and behaving the same might be a different issue. You may need to contact adobe the check your serial number.
Or it's also possible that you don't have the proper permission which the software is having issue writing the licensing data.
Hope this gives you an idea.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Installation Error

I'm new to this site and my computer has Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1.
After I installed Photoshop CS4 trial, it failed to install Photoshop, but the rest were successful. I went to get more information and this is the message:
Adobe Fonts All
Error:
Error 1603. Error 1907.Could not register font . Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install fonts, and that the system supports this font.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack
Error:
Error 2.
If there is a topic similar to this one, then I shouldn't be here!

I have been using Adobe Photoshop CS4 for a few months now without any problems or errors.
But last week.. i had a virus problem and decided to do a Clean Installation of my Operating System.
I was not too worried because I have done this millions of times already... and know the process like the back of my hand.
Well.. after the clean installation was complete, i started to load my applications.
To my surprise.. Adobe Photoshop CS4 would not install. Nor would Adobe Illustrator CS4.
It would get to the screen "Adobe is beginig the installation process" and would stall ..
At first... i thought it would eventually complete on it's own.. but after a few attempts and hours of the same screen with no progress.. it was obvious Adobe was no longer responding at that stage.
I searched high and low, night and day, over a few days trying to figure out the problem.
I was trouble-shooting everything.
In the middle of trouble-shooting, i took a break to surf the Net and see if i could find any suggestions when i ran into this Forum.
Someone mentioned disabling your Internet Security & Windows Defender.. and i thought.. no way.. it can't be that easy.
Well.. what do you know.. it was my Internet Security (Kaspersky Internet Security 2010)
After disabling Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, Adobe flew right pass the part where it was stalling, and finished installation without incident.
Adobe Illustrator CS4 also installed without any problems ...
I just wanted to share my experience as i know how frustrating it can be when software refuses to install.
Good Luck to everyone.. be patient.. trial & error. .. and im sure you'll figure it out.

"downloaded Photoshop CS4 here and i tried to install as trial (30 days), Error: "Please insert Photoshop C4 into drive E:/ to continue instalation" what's wrong? What should I do? To install free trial? Tks"
@ ApologetX
I had a similar problem when i extracted the contents of my Adobe DVD and made an ISO file out of it so i would no longer need the DVD for installation.
But what i realized is that.. Adobe will not install if it's installed from the ISO.. and during installation.. an error would pop up.. and ask for the DVD
You probably have done something similar.
Here's what i did to fix:
- Extract the contents of Adobe Photoshop CS4 into a Folder
- and install from that ..
After i extracted the contents and installed from "setup.exe" .. the installation completed without error ..
DVD
- If you're having problems from the DVD .. then try to extract the Contents of the DVD on to your Desktop..
and install from there ..
Trial Installer
- As for the Trial you are referring to .. im not familiar with it ..
but try to extract the contents of it to your Desktop .. and go from there ..
Good Luck

Photoshop CS4 won't open Crashes immediately. Out of ideas

CS4, Windows 8.1
My graphics drivers are up to date. I've not installed any third party items for PS.
I've uninstalled, used clean script, reinstalled several times. ran the repair license (multiple times), changed flexnet licensing from manual to auto and back again during the many tries of repairing. Rolled back the date as Adobe mentions. Rebooted many times. Checked my fonts against the 'trouble list' though none have been installed in weeks. Deleted the preferences. Long list of things I have tried.
I'm out of ideas. Computer is about 6 weeks old. I installed it with no issues then. Program worked a few weeks. Yesterday I tried opening it and it crashes immediately. It opens enough that I can see the main screens then the error comes up. The only message is "adobe photoshop CS4 has stopped working" " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program......" No details are provided as to the issue. The only option is to close. I rebooted in safe mode and got the code of 148.3. Repairing the license with the adobe fix still doesn’t correct it.
Any ideas on what else to try?

How to edit a PDF in Photoshop CS4

Hi there,
I'm having some real trouble trying to figure out how to edit a PDF in photoshop cs4. So i need to edit/change text, move things around, that type of thing.
I work in Windows.
Could someone give me a bit a low down on how this is done?
Much appreciated,
Victoria

You can open them but you will totally rasterize everything.
PDFs are not intended to be edited. They are a final format but as
mentioned you can use Acrobat for some minor text edits or use it to
extract the images to Photoshop for further editing.

Has anyone experienced there computer freezing up when useing Photoshop CS4 or SC5

My two computers both freeze up when I am useing Photoshop (working with a large file 82-120 megs with multiple layers, channels and paths) it only ocurred when useing Photoshop. Otherwise the computrs works fine for every day tasks for buseniss and personal use, admittedly, I do not have any other resource intnsive applications other then QuickBooks or maybe a large Excel spreadsheet but I have no problem with these large files. I am not a gamer or I could try a game I hear that they can be resorce intensive.
My first computer is used for personal and business. this computer has a number of programs on it, including Kaspersky internet security but it is not lacking in resorces, It is a Intel based computer, sporting Intel quad core 2.5 GHz CPU. running on a 32 bit Windows 7 operating system, its list of components are 4 gig ram, Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT graphics card (on the Adobe approval list sporting open GL) 4 sata hard drives, 750 watt power supply, Asus P5N-D SLI motherboard, the tower case has 7 fans and the CPU is water cooled.
I run Photoshop CS4 on this unit.
after I experienced this loss of critical files I call the tech support line to see if they could help with recovery of the file and to ask if they had a way to prevent this from occuring again.
They said that I could wave bye bye to the file and the work, additionaly they said if I was working with large files like that, I should be runing a 64 bit system that could utilize additional memory.
I really like working with the large files so I bit the bullet and spent the money for the 2nd computer that I would use as a dedicated Photoshop workstation.
the second system has many of the same components because they have worked admirably. the key difference is as followes. 8gig ram, 64 bit Windows 7 operating system, Photoshop CS5 and the only other software is the drivers for the wacom intos4 tablet. I desided not to install any type of antivirus program because I will not be useing it on the internet except when it needs to connect to Adobe for whatever. my decision not to install antivirus can be reversed but I did not want any questions about it slowing up the computer.
This system with Photoshop CS5, freezes up faster then the CS4 system.
When I say Freezes up what I am referring to is the mouse and keyboard will not respond. Control/alt/delete will not bring up the task manager. Eventually I give up and have to force a shut down by pushing and holding the case start button for about 5 to 8 seconds.
when I restart the system I check the file that I have been working and several times the file that I was working on is corrupted beyond Photoshops ability to open.
I have used the windows 7, on board, memory diagnostics and it claims that all of the memory is fine I have reviewed the event logs and the only critacal errors are about the system being improperly shuting down. I even went to the trouble to click on the link for each error that will take you to Microsofts website and will serch for anything they have about that event and they had no help on the event.
People with mac computers have had a similar problem that had to do with there fonts and plugins, but I do not have a mac and I have not installed any plugins. The CS5 is as it came from the factory and the Mac people kicked me out telling me to get over on my side of the street where the rest of the windows outcast are but that was only after they thought they had there problen solved. Its so funny, but losing these files is not, Please Help

Thanks everyone for jumping in with both feet.
Let me review what I have already done.
(1). I have already witnessed how the wround driver for the tablet will wrack havoc. when I first started the 64 bit version of CS5 it would not recognize any PSD files at all and if you went to the file and right clicked looking for the (open with) dialog box forget-about-it the option for Photoshop was not an option.
I called Adobe tech support and they told me that I was not going to be able to use the Wacom tablet with the 64 bit versionof Photoshop. I found that a little suspicious seeing how Wacom tablets are the most preferred pen tablets for professional illustrators.
I contacted Wacom and they explained that I needed to uninstall the Wacom tablet, reboot the computer, go to the website, download the new 64 bit drivers and then reinstall the tablet. after I did that. Photoshop found all of my files and opened just fine.It was only then that I found out about the freezing proplem with the 64 Bit version.
A number of the helpful people here have tried to advise this to me but I have already be down tha road.
(2). I have the latest drivers for the BFG Nvidia Geforce 9600 Gt, released in April of this year and I had already new that the were necessary for the open GL so this is one of the first things that I tried.
Some one from our cousin Mac's side of the famaly and (Noel just suggested) that I try turning off the open GL. As soon as cousin Mac asked us to try this I did it (Them being famaly and all).
I was able to give it a try on the 32 bit system on Thursday 7/8/2010.
I was able to work on a very large file with a multitude of layers, channels and paths for about 5 hours before if froze. after the reboot I found that the file was fine and retained everything up to my last save.
But this test is only good as circumstantial evidence because the freezes are somwhat random. They mosly happen after I have been working with a large file for quite some time but some times it can happen very quickly, maybe 25 or 30 minutes.
Bye the way I really enjoy the humor, the Mac people are very serious people.
the Mac users are just grouchy because they expect their computers to "just work", and of course they don't.
We PC users have been given no such expecatations. THANKS NOEL
Oh, don't worry about them mean old grumpy PC wanna be Mac peoples. Gota luv it THANKS dec9
and Eight thousand dollar papper weight says it all. THANKS $8000paperweight.
(3) the memory, CPU and mother board can not be ruled out completly, just yet
As for the memory I have used the on board windows 7 diagnostics and it passed. but this is a unreliable test for hevy-resource dependent applications and a load or stress test would need to be done to be confidend.
I have a number of computers with the same kind of ram but after swaping them around I can not say that I have had any lasting results and it is compecated by experiences like what happened to me after turning off the open GL. What if I had of only worked for 4 hours? I would of thought that the problem was solved thats what would of happened
Do any of you work with files like I have been talking about? and if so do you experience any problems?
The motherboard can not be rulled out by any tests that I know of other then process of elimination which is at the heart of all sound diagnostics.
I downloaded a utility that is helpful called (Cupid Z) that gives real time monitoring and idenification of components.All the voltages seem fine.A.
I hope I will be able to up load the screen shots so you all can have a look see.
The CPH is more than likely not the problem.
I do have the option to install Photoshop on a third computer that has most of the same components but has a different Intel CPU. this would rull out any compatability issues (CPU with the Board) but if that were the case I dought that every other progrem under the sun works fine except Photoshop.
dec9, I did delete the prefs on the 32bit system but I have not had time to test the operation of Photoshop as of yet.
Lastly I will try to upload the screen shots of (Cupid Z) you will see that the latencys and the frequency are correct. Under the SPDscreen the plausible timinigs for verious common frequencies are given,, all seem to be with in range. The lantency are inside the spec.given by Corsair;s website
Asus provides a utility that allows you to monitor Temptures and voltages and I hope to send you a screen shot of this and you can see that they all are correct.
I would like to send the event log but I am not sure how to do that if someone could give me the 411 on how to do this I will send them to you I have saved the errors in several file formats but I cant see how you cold read them on this little page Thanks again POBOX119 signing off
