Up date to Photoshop CS4 from Elements 6

When I look at my photos in CS4 BRIDGE I see at least one duplicate version for every photo even if I had never edited the photo in elements.
I do not see duplicates in ELEMENTS when they have not been edited, stacked or made into Version Sets.
How do I correct this?

For starters, you'll be short the last four digits if you are copy/pasting directly from "System Info." 
You might look over on the Elements forum for a solution. Having said that, it's usually caused by trying to insert a purchased version serial number into a trial version. In that case, uninstall the trial; install the purchased version; then insert serial.

  • Compare Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Elements 7

    Hi,
    I need to compare features of Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Elements 7.
    I need to know how CS4 can be better than Elements 7  and viceversa.
    It will be very helpful to know this information.
    Thank You

    Elements 7 uses the base code from CS3 so you won't find many comparisons to CS4. If you google around there are a ton of comparisons between PSE 7 and PS CS3, though.

  • Got an upgrade to cs4 from Elements.  Is Elements' license still valid?

    I'm waiting on shipment of an upsell of CS4 from Elements 6.
    In the meantime, I was wondering if the upgrade would render my Elements 6 license invalid, or if I can in fact use Elements as well (on the same computer).  I tried a search, and after a long wait did not find an answer to this, so I apologize if this has been beaten to death.
    Take care.

    "It's a monumentally dumbed-down, limited, emasculated, toy"
    "If you like Elements, it's quite possible that you will find the learning curve of Photoshop too daunting."
    I'm really at home with CS4 trial actually, I'm not concerned with the learning curve.
    From GIMP, the few seconds to locate the new menu items... Perspective clone/Vanishing point, Liquid Rescale/Content-aware scaling, iWarp/Liquefy, etc were made up for with a more workable interface for the most part.
    On the other hand, I can see me not wanting to invest much time in taking someone's ex-wife out of the beach photo, etc.  I'm thinking maybe Elements has its use.  It'd be nice.
    I’m an Elements ignoramus because it's simply a product I'd normally not bother with for image editting.  GIMP and PS are my only options, none of the midrange tools cut it.
    If it's a nice replacement for iPhoto on the Mac, and is more robust and can kick someone off a picture for me in a couple seconds, I could see it being of use.
    Anyway it's real nice to finally have Photoshop and nice to be here.

  • How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing.

    How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

  • Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro.  Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep.  How do I resolve ?

    Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro.  Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep.  How do I resolve ?

    Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh?  If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized.  Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS4 from Design Standard Educational

    I just purchased the educational version of Adobe CS4 Design Standard and had no problem installing everything but Photoshop CS4 (which is what I really need)!  It does not show up on the installation menu when I run startup, but it seems to be on the install DVD in a couple of .dmg packages. I currently have photshop elements 6 for Mac installed, and I previously had the Photoshop CS4 ext trial with LightRoom 2 installed, but removed them from my system once the trial was over. Why isn't Photoshop CS4 installing and how can I fix it? Do I need to reinstall the trial software and then try and activate the serial number? Is the install DVD disk bad?
    I had a look through the forums here and don't seem to have any of the same issues.  I have three disks in the package, 1-Applications, 2-Content, and 3-Learning.
    I can see the .dmg files for Photoshop on the 1-Applications disk, but am not sure if I expand them will they install Photoshop properly.  I managed to install InDesign, Illustrator and Acrobat 9 with the assorted pieces without any problems, and still have about 100GB of space left on the drive.
    I'm installing it on my MacBook Pro, with 250GB HD, and 4GB of RAM with the 512MB video card.  I previously ran the trial version on the machine without any issues, so I am assuming that there are no problems with the minimum requirements to run the software.  The one issue I am thinking that might be affecting it is that I do have Safari 4 on my machine...
    Any ideas?

    That did the trick.  I think I removed the old trial version by just dragging it into the trash and not using the uninstall function.  Adobe customer service really sucks as well.  I submitted a ticket to them about this and they cancelled it as the registration for CS4 Design Standard wasn't listed in the drop down menu when sent it in, despite it being registered.  Obviously Customer Service people who can't read!!
    Just goes to show that this forum is a better trouble-shooting environment!  The only funny thing with using the clean tool, is that I had to completely remove all programs installed with Design Standard and then re-install everything.  Very clunky.  They should get some more people from Apple to design the Adobe installation/uninstallation process...

  • Photoshop CS4 and Elements 10 in same pc

    I am trying to install my Photoshop CS4 in a computer that has Photoshop Elements 10 already installed.  I think I read that I might need to uninstall Elements because there are some file that CS4 won't like.  I get a message that "The Installer Database is corrupt.  Please contact Adobe Customer Service."  I don't have an install disk for Elements 10 so I don't want uninstall it to try it out.  My computer is a PC running Windows7.
    Does anyone else have them working together?  I used the install disk on my computer at work and it worked fine after getting the corrupt database message here.  So I believe the disk is okay.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    they can run together.
    first, follow all 7 steps and download ps cs4 from here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links- pse-premiere-pre.html
    then, uninstall pse 10.
    then run the cs4:  http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    then restart your computer.
    then install pse 10 and activate with your serial number.
    then install ps cs4.

  • Editing with Photoshop CS4 from PSE8 Organizer

    I have made numerious attempts to use Photoshop CS4 to edit an image in the PSE8 organizer rather than Photoshop Elements. There is a shortcut to launch CS4 which is Ctrl-H rather than the usual Ctrl-I. CS4 launched and I complete the edit. I do a save as but Organizer retains the Edit in Progress red bar across the image (edited version) and this does not go away even when CS4 is closed.
    If I close PSE8 Organizer the Edited file is no longer there, in Elements or indeed in the folder. The same happens whether I save as a jpg or psd file.
    Can anyone point out what is going wrong or give me the correct procedure for making this work.
    Peter

    Peter I would love to find a solution for you.
    There has always been a bug with PSE7 requiring edited RAW images from ACR to be manually imported back into PSE Organizer. This may apply to Jpegs and could have rolled-over into PSE8.
    As PSE8 is fully supported I suggest you raise a ticket with Adobe Support through the contact link but it does not guarantee a solution to your problem.
    This Adobe tech Note gives further details.

  • Trying to upgrade to CS4 from Elements 6.0

    I downloaded the CS4 Upgrade and am trying to get it to accept my serial from PS ELements 6.0. I got the 6.0 from a bundle with my Wacom Cintiq a couple of months ago, and there is nothing on there that indicates that it is anything less than a full version of the Elements. It says my serial # is not correct. I am using Windows XP. Has anyone had any troubles like this?
    -Michael

    That's strange... why would it give Elements 6.0 as an option from its dropdown menu to give a serial number for when it is upgrading?

  • How to safely remove 32-bit Photoshop CS4 from Win7 64-bit?

    I have installed Master Collection CS4 on my ThinkPad running Win7 64-bit. The installer installed both the 32-bit and 64-bit Photoshop CS4 which is wasting the hard disk space. There seems to be no way to install only the 64-bit PS from the installer. Nor can I find a way to uninstall only the 32-bit PS using the MC uninstaller. 
    Can anyone help please.

    I think Adobe were being cautious with their first ever 64-bit version of PS and wanted a built-in fallback position, to avoid too much trouble.
    Hard disk space is cheap – even on a laptop.
    Maybe CS5 will give the choice. 

  • Uninstalling Photoshop CS4 from a Mac with Yosemite, which cannot open CS4.

    Ok. That should be fine. There is a CS/CC Cleaner tool as well.  It removes installation records according to the description.
