VBScript object to launch 32 bit Photoshop

When running in Vista 64 bit is there a Photoshop.Application object that will launch the 32 bit version of Photoshop?
As an aside are there some notes somewhere about what might cause a javascript to error in 64 bit?

I'm setting up a new Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine with Photoshop CS4. I am most familiar with CS2 on a Windows XP computer.
I've read some posts about setting Bridge to launch 64 bit rather than 32 bit CS4 Photoshop. I've checked the file associations and all those I've checked are set to launch the 32 bit - I thought the default would be to launch 64 bit. What is the default?
Also, is there any way to determine, once photoshop is launched, whether it is the 32 bit or the 64 bit version?
The default is for Bridge to launch the 64-bit version.
Go to Help > System Info to check.

Rasterization of complex postscript-file crashes in 64-bit Photoshop CS5

Rasterization of complex PS-file crashes in 64-bit Photoshop CS5
I have a variety of complex postscript files that were created in Adobe InDesign CS3 and CS5 through "print to postscript file". I try to rasterize these files in Photoshop CS5 (64 bit on Macintosh) and it crashes Photoshop even before the dialog box comes where one has to specify the dpi for rasterizing. If I use Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop CS5 with 32 Bit opening, it does not crash; and in this case I can rasterize a 100cm x 160cm format with 300 dpi.
If I reduce the complexity to near triviality it works with the 64 bit version.
A major reason why I bought CS5 was because I thought that with the 64 bit version I can handle rasterization of large files better: there are a few minor artifacts created by rasterization in Photoshop 32 bit version which are presumably due to some memory problems; I thought the 64 bit version can solve it. But now it turns out that the 64 bit version cannot handle complex files at all.
If I use Distiller to convert the postscript-File into a pdf file, then the 64-bit version does the rasterization, but there are some reasons why I prefer the rasterization directly from the postscript file.
Is that a bug of the 64 version?
V.S.

I did a lot of testing in the meantime since we have often the task to printout large charts with complex content on plotters of medium size printing companies who need tiffs since they cannot handle pdfs with complex contents.
It turns out that for large charts with complex content the method to export from Indesign to pdf with PDF/X-1a profile and subsequent rasterization in photoshop to create the tiffs sometimes produces a few minor artifacts; mainly very thin white lines that you see in the printout. Also it is not good if your file contains graphics for which PDF/X-1a profile sometimes does not yield the desired high quality. (In addition the pdf file has a lot of display artifacts visible on screen but not manifesting in the rasterized photoshop file.)
The use of the "High Quality Print" profile (instead of PDF/X-1a profile) makes it worse since sometimes semi-transparent objects are printed as 100 percent solid. The solution in this case is to change the Acrobat 5 compatibility of the "High Quality Print" profile to Acrobat 4 compatibility, this solves the semi-transparent problem, I don't understand why, but it does.
On Macintosh one can print to pdf (instead of export to pdf), this solves all problems with artifacts as far as I can judge; however "print to pdf" has PDF/X-1a profile and I don't see any direct way how to change it to "High Quality Print" profile. Presumably I would have to locate somewhere in the Library > Adobe Application Support > Adobe (on Mac) the presets for "print to pdf" and change it if possible.
The easiest way on Macintosh that gives no artifacts is for large charts with complex content to "print to postscript" (with Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD), then use distiller with any suitable profile, like "PDF/X-1a-2001" profile or "High Quality Print" profile, to produce a pdf. This pdf looks fine on screen and simultaneously when rasterized with Photoshop (for example the 64 bit version of CS5) gives you a good photoshop file.
You may be right that the workflow
Indesign > print to postscript > pdf via distiller > rasterize to photoshop file
is outdated for simple and medium complex projects, but for those really complex large charts this is the only viable way to my knowledge; I also know that some of my colleagues use this sometimes for complex projects when export to pdf creates artifacts.
V.S.

Make 32 bit Photoshop CS4 the default instead of 64 bit?

It was a bit of a surprise to find that none of my 32-bit plugins would work with Photoshop CS4 x64. Most seem to work fine in the 32-bit version of PS though. Is there a way to make the 32-bit version launch by default from Bridge or when opening a PSD file instead of the 64-bit version?

I encountered this issue today as well when I installed Photoshop CS5, and discovered that my usual plugins do not work properly.
They did work properly while running in 32 bit mode.
Windows 7's extension definition sucks, that's why I rather work with the registry.
So after a bit tweaking, I think I finally cracked it.
The "Final Product" (if you will ) is two reg files for toggling 32 and 64 bit modes.
A word of caution: This is what worked on MY machine (Windows 7 64 Bit) and I cannot gurrantee it would work on other computers, nor do I take responsibility for any damage that my occur. We are playing with the Registry here, so BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL.
These codes assume Photoshop is installed in the default location. If you've altered it, make sure to modify the files accordingly first.
Before attempting to use I recommend to create a restore point, just in case something may go wrong.
Here we go:
To switch to 32 bit mode, open a blank notepad page, paste the below code and save it as "fix.reg" (NOT TXT). After saving, activate it and you're good to go.

Any hope of getting 64 bit twain plug in for Windows 64 bit Photoshop

Just what the title sez: any hope of getting 64 bit twain plug in for Windows 64 bit Photoshop? Frustrating to upgrade and have to do a work around to use your scanner. Will Adobe release this?

Chris,
I have a CanoScan 8800F plus CS5, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions installed. When I scan four slides in a holder, the 32-bit TWAIN driver/plugin gives me four images of one slide each. The 64-bit WIA driver/plugin gives me one image of the slide holder, with the four slides in it. Is this a limitation of the WIA technique in general or the particular WIA driver for my CanoScan?
Best regards,
Antero

64 bit Lightroom 2.5 work well with 32 bit Photoshop CS4?

Anyone know if 64 bit Lightroom 2.5 works well with 32 bit Photoshop CS4? Any problems or conflicts? Or should I stick to 32 bit Lightroom 2.5?

It works fine, but the default will be to use the 64bit version of CS4 (which is also installed along with the 32bit version).
If you want to use the 32bit version of CS4 the easiest way is to open the 32bit CS4 before sending files from LR. I only have a few plugins that don't have 64bit versions, so I mostly use the 64 bit version of CS4, but occasionally I do use the 32bit version and that's how I do it.

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.

32 bit Actions in 64 Bit Photoshop

I am about to upgrade to 64 bit Photoshopwhen my new computer with Windows 7 arrives. I have read conflicting information regardine the use of Photoshop actions that have been shared that were generated in 32 bit Photoshop. In some places I have read that they will work with 64 bit Photoshop and in others I have read that they won't. I am just wondering if anyone has personal experience with this....do they work....do they all work or just some of them???

Actions operate on "reflections" of internal program commands and thus do not care for whether the host is a PC or a Mac or 32bit vs. 64bit. As long as they do not contain references to specific features that are not available in a given environment, they work just the same, given that the commands they address have the same name.

Applying a colour to a 1 bit photoshop eps file

Hi everyone,
I've placed a 1 bit photoshop eps file into Illustrator and I'm trying to colour it. I tried selecting it and applying one of the colour swatches but nothing happens. I wondered if anyone could help me out?
Thanks in advance.

gwh,
Nothing magical happens just because you save a raster image in a format that may contain vector artwork. A raster image is a raster image is an Argh.
If you just want it to appear with another colour with the help of Illy (you can actually recolour in Photoshop), you may cheat, such as this way:
1) Create a rectangle (at least) the size of the raster image with the desired (darkest) colour;
2) Place the raster image on top of 1) and in the Transparency palette flyout click Make Opacity Mask, with Clip ticked (unless you want a frame) and with Invert Mask ticked (unless you want a negative).

Where do I download 64 bit photoshop cc for windows?

where do I download 64 bit photoshop cc for windows? I can only find 32 bit. I had 64 bit downloaded but it started to crash so I uninstalled and reinstalled from creative cloud. But it only downloaded 32 bit and nowhere is there the option for 64 bit.
Thanks

Both should have been installed at the same time. (You should also have a menu item for both listed under your Start menu if using Windows 7 or Apps under Start in Windows 8.)

Should I install both 64 and 32 bit photoshop on my Vista 64 bit?

Should I install both 64 and 32 bit photoshop on my Vista 64 bit?

Some plug-ins require the 32-bit version. If you are going to just use it as is, no plug-ins for devices, then th 64-bit version should be fine.

Lightroom 4 launches to Photoshop CS5 when I try to print from Lightroom. How do I change it

Lightroom 4 launches to Photoshop CS5 when I try to print from Lightroom. How do I change it, so the printing goes directly from Lightroom to the printer.

Let me try again. I am in Lightroom and click print. Then I am launched to PS.
This is not possible.
What you are seeing is not PS, it's your printer dialog. PS does not have an ICM button.
And you say: " Lightroom doesn't stop working; rather CS5 stops working"
And what does the error message say that you posted in the screen shot? Does it not say "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working" ?
Do not be confused. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the official name of Lightroom. This is not CS5 that has stopped working. CS5 does not come on when you hit the print button in Lr.
It is Lr that has stopped working.
And you say: "My next step is to click on ICM so the color controls are done by the software."
This is wrong. When you want Lr to do the color management, you select a profile in the Print Module, in the <Print Job> panel under Color Management / Profile.
In the screen shot below I have selected a profile for my HP printer and paper. And that's where you select a profile for your printer and paper.
You do not click on ICM in your printer dialog. You click there only when you want your printer to manage colors.
So try to print by selecting the profile in the print Module as indicated and do not click on ICM.
By the way: Which OS? Are you on a Mac?

How do I import a 3D object I created in Photoshop CC into AE CC?

How do I import a 3D object I created in Photoshop CC into AE CC? I thought if I created a picture or video with one Creative Cloud product I should be able to work with it in another CC product.

It's not possible. this functionality existed once in CS4 and CS5, but has ever since been removed because it was buggy and had a ton of technical issues. Your best bet would be to export the object from PS as an OBJ and import it into C4D Lite via Cineware.
