Will I commit suicide by upgrading to CS4????

I currently have CS3 and would like to upgrade to CS4 if it agrees with my system. My specs are:
Q6600 @3.2Ghz
ASUS P5E WS motherboard
4GB DDR2 800mhz
4 500GB drives (7,200)
8800GT nVidia
XP x64
Do you have similar specs and run CS4?
Are you having problems?
Do you want to kill yourself because it would be easier than going back to CS3?
Like it or Love it, what are your specs?

Everything is on four 500GB, 7200-rpm drives setup as a single 1-TB Raid 10.
And yes, I know that "officially" XP x64 Professional is not supported, however, when I spec'd the computer and had it built and delivered in early September, there was no indication from Adobe that they were going to abandon X64 with CS4 (Thank you Adobe!).
Since I had just paid for and had a working installation of X64, I was not of the mind to invest the time and money to go to an untried, resource hogging OS just to have flashy icons, so when Production Premium CS4 arrived in mid October, I installed it and everything, except Premiere, worked perfectly.
Photoshop 64-bit is amazing! And rock solid. I love that the Clone Stamp shows you what it will look like before you apply it and that the fonts all show previews.
After Effects runs my 1280x720p footage at 25 - 30 fps and exports Composition/Make Movie using the LEAD MJPG codec perfectly. Never any problems whatsoever.
Encore works flawlessly, although I admit I'm just scratching the surface of how to use it.
And, once I got a clearer picture of how Dynamic Link works from an Adobe employee who actually knew how it worked, rather than the poorly written descriptions in all the Adobe documentation, even DL has been stable and usable.
Only Premiere has ever crashed.
Only AME has failed to export using the MJPG codec. Before the update, it too would crash. After the update, it exports about 1-minute's worth of timeline, and then reports a "disk full" error.
As long as I am working with DV footage, everything is fine in Premiere. And as long as I export hidef footage as UYVY uncompressed through AME and compress the output later in the workflow, everything is fine.
So, Officially supported or not, XP x64 works just fine.
But, the point of my original post is that a number of people are having timeline playback problems and perhaps the audio has more to do with it than the video card/drivers.
Thought they might like to know in case it might help solve some issues. :)

CS3.3 purchase UK from Amazon - free upgrade to CS4?

I want to purchase CS3.3 in the UK.
Have spoken to Adobe Customer Services and they say I'll get a free upgrade to CS4 if I purchase from them. Anyone know if there's a deadline for doing that? They added that CS4 ships on October 15th in the UK.
And how about if I purchase CS3.3 from Amazon - where CS3.3 is actually cheaper - will I get a free upgrade to CS4?
Is the place where you buy the software irrelevant?
Many thanks for any advice.
Ashley

>Anyone know if there's a deadline for doing that?
Yes you must do it before CS4 ships Oct 14 or 15

SHOULD I KEEP THIS OR BUY ANOTHER ONE WITH 64 bit I WANT TO USE ADOBE cs3, and will upgrade to CS4 soon. i use primarily dreawweaver and i want to learn graphics and want to do tons of multitasking

Seems like you have very much overkill in certain areas and not enough in others. If you will be running Dreamweaver, you don't need a lot of RAM! If, on the other hand you will be using Photoshop, you need a lot of RAM. I've been using Photoshop since 1992 and the more RAM the better, up to about 6 GIGs, then it really doesn' make much of a difference. As for the Graphics cards, not sure why you need 2?? I use Photoshop professionally and have never needed 2. As for the RAM, the graphics cards have their own RAM built in and it should not rob from you system. I use a Quad processor HP running Vista 64 bit. Photoshop flys, as do my other programs. However, I will tell you, if you change to 64 bit, be prepared to upgrade most all of your software, and on top of that, a lot of software is not capitable with 64 bit at this time. I played Hell getting my system set up running 64 bit. If you are not going to be using Photoshop, which is RAM hungry, you do not need more that 4 gigs of RAM.

Acrobat will not accept license code after installing cs4 premium upgrade

We just upgraded to CS4 premium, from CS3 premium. In doing so acrobat replaced Acrobat 8 pro with Acrobat 9 pro.
All our tools only work in Acrobat 8 pro, so we unistalled the Acrobat 9 pro and the software will not accept the keys from the product boxes that was used to install the software. the 30 day trial period comes up where you can enter a number or buy "version 9".
Is there anything special to fix this mess that anyone has found?
We are a printing company and use tools from enfocus, quite, and other special plugins that only support up to version 8?
Before we totally uninstall CS4 premium we wanted to see if anyone else has had this issuse or knows who to get with at Adobe to get a key that will work for the licensed software.

Full version pshop CS (8), upgraded to CS4. Recieved the free upgrade to CS5... will this work?

Hi,
Appologies if this seems like a stupid enquiry. I'll keep it quick and simple.
I had been running a full version of photoshop CS (aka photoshop version 8). I just bought the upgrade to CS4 and also (to answer other questions on this forum) I just received the free upgrade to CS5 from Adobe. Not having an intel Mac yet I plan to sit on my CS5 upgrade till I have the machine to run it. My question to anyone who knows/has done this, can I install my CS5 upgrade given that my original full copy of photoshop was version CS (ie. more than 3 versions back)...?
I have seen this discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2734196#2734196
but it still leaves me unsure (would Tai Lao be able to install CS5 if he wanted too I wonder...???).
Before anyone asks I have asked Adobe via the customer support portal and they said that I 'could install CS5 upgrade from CS4 upgrade' (which still doesn't answer the question, does my having CS stop me upgrading to CS5 due to the "3 version back upgrade policy"...?
Thanks for the help!
Matt

Matt,
Focus for a second please:
All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS. If the upgrade does not find a previous version installed, it will simply ask you for the old serial number as well. That's all.
You now have a valid CS4 serial number. When you install CS5, the installer will look for a previously installed version. If you have installed CS4, it will proceed automatically to install CS5. If you did not install CS4, just use its serial number when prompted. (NOTE: This is based on the assumption that CS was indeed a qualifying version to upgrade to CS4. I don't remember what the requirements were back then.)
I have Photoshop 7.0.1, 8 (CS), 9.0.2 (CS2), 10.1 (CS3) and 11.0.1 (CS4) installed on my machine. All those are upgrades from my original full version 4 of Photoshop from many, many years ago. I can run all of them on my machine, even simultaneously If I wanted to, by launching the older version(s) first. In practice, I have run two versions simultaneously without any problems.
Just have your CS4 serial number handy.
Now, be advised that an awful lot of users are having nightmarish difficulties with the CS5 installer. If you run into trouble, don't blame it on the serial number, just blame the extraordinarily incompetent members of the pathetic installer team. That's a team outside of the Photoshop engineering team that has proven a disgraceful embarrassment to Adobe engineers and executives. A senior program manager has even admitted in private correspondence that he can't write in public what he would like to do to the members of the installer team.

… (would Tai Lao be able to install CS5 if he wanted too I wonder...???).
Of course I could, if I wanted to and had an Intel machine. However, I have rejected Leopard and Snow Leopard, and I will stay with CS4 and Tiger 10.0.4.11 for the foreseeable future, which means for the remainder of my life expectancy, as I can't afford a new machine.

Matt, the "3 version back upgrade policy" simply means that you have to have a valid serial number for one of the three versions, and you do have a valid number for CS4, which in turn was based on your valid number for CS.
Stop tormenting yourself.

Upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5. did not go smoothly, now stuck at CS5 - how do I fix the installation?

Hi There,
I had a lot of issues upgrading from CS4 (Adobe Application Manager crashing, installer not opnening etc) but managed to get the installer to run by using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of CS4.
However, when the installer finished, it stated there were errors and now the installers won't run - nor can I run updates from the CS apps that did install.
I've normally never had any issues upgrading, so am not sure why I had so many issues and the best way forward from here - Hoping I don't have to remove all the CS5 apps, use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again and start from the begining.
I'm trying to install Master Collection CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Have had to hang up as I was calling the US using a New Zealand Mobile while in Portugal (long story) - and the 11 minute wait time would've cost the same amount as the CS5.5 upgrade!
I had to call the US because:
The New Zealand support number listed on the Adobe site doesn't work
New Zealand is not listed as a country Adobe suppoprt will call back from the "Schedule a callback" page
What a joke.
I used the Adobe Support Adviser app to analyze the install error log and it provided me with a very helpful link to a support page that states "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing."
Unfortunately, nothing was installed.
I need to do work while a long way from home and can't use/install any CS5 apps - does anyone know how to install CS5 in Lion?
Cheers

Upgrade to CS4 or CS5?

The agency I work for is currently using CS3, but there is a debate about upgrading to CS4 or to CS5. Because we work with a lot of print pieces one of the concerns is that most printers are probably still on CS4 so we shouldn't be more advanced than they are to avoid needing to save everything down. The other side of the argument is that the time saving features added in CS5 would be worth taking the time to save files down.
I think it would help provide some insight to hear from someone who is familiar with CS4 and CS5, and any issues they have experienced.
So any advice?
Thanks for your reply!

CS4 is not for sale. Only CS 5 is available. Moreover, any printshop worth using should have both. If they have not purchased CS 5, then they probably aren't worth working with. Upgrades like this are part of their cost of doing business. They can purchase it now or a year from now. If they purchase a year from now they will have one less year of work from the software at exactly the same price.

Upgrade to CS4 web premium . . . or wait for CS5 ?

The question I have for anyone who may have some insight: Is there anything groundbreaking in the works for Dreamweaver, Photoshop or Illustrator in CS5 which is due to be released in about 6 months ?
We have CS3 Web Standard, and now want to upgrade to Web Premium so we can get Photoshop and Illustrator which we now need, but with some pain could probably find a way to hold off for another 6 months .... if it was worth the wait that is. We don't necessarily need (and can't afford) the latest Software version all the time, but has there been any discussion about Improvements or New Features in the next release that's going to make us regret not waiting .......... ?
* We are a small home business, but don't want to miss out on any major changes if you know what I mean . . .

I wouldn't expect anything groundbreaking from one version to the next. It sometimes comes down to maximizing your operating system to take advantage of speed boosts in both the OP and CS applications. Your existing CS3 system may not be compatable with the requirements of CS5 whatever they may be, or not. It's hard to say. If you are planning on getting new hardware ( sounds like you are not ), then you may want to wait. If you plan on using your existing hardware, you may be able to upgrade to CS4. But from the sounds of it, CS3 and Tiger is a pretty good combination and you will be able to get away with using that for awhile. There have been significant fixes from CS2 to CS4, where CS3 had it's problems in Illustrator ( not sure about PS ). Adobe sometimes throws a bone out to people who buy CS4 and get a break when they ante up for CS5, just be aware of the system requirements.

Help w/ upgrade (corrupt) CS4 - CS 5.5 ; MSOffice 2007 - 2010

Hello:
I recently conducted a LONG phone-based support incident, and I have reviewed the many KB articles on my topic(s) but I still have some questions.
ISSUE:
I need help with uninstalling & cleaning up CS4 in order to cleanly install CS5.5, coincident with a planned upgrade from Office2007 to Office2010 on a Win7(x64) SP1 PC. I use fully-licensed educational versions of Adobe CS & MS Office products.
In particular, I need to know if I should upgrade Office2007 to Office 2010 BEFORE uninstalling CS4 and installing CS5.5, or the other way around?
Background:
1) Several weeks ago, Adobe PDF Printer in Acrobat 9 of my long-standing, fully-patched CS4 install inexplicably disappeared from my system.
2) TMAVLSS, After several long weeks of phone assistance with escalated Tech Support, including attempts to repair the PDF printer, reinstall it, uninstall drivers, reinstall it again, etc we were unsuccessful. Failure was ultimately attributed to "core driver package" corruption.
3) All other components of CS4 have continued to work just fine, including Acrobat, as well as scanning to pdf from my HP printer, "saving" Word docs as pdf. But I have been getting by without Adobe PDF Printer.
4) It was suggested that we completely uninstall CS4 and reinstall it. Since I knew CS5.5 was soon to be released, I opted to wait.
5) I now have a boxed educational version of CS5.5 and a licensed, educational DVD of MSOffice 2010 Pro.
6) So I think I have everything to proceed, but I am a bit uncertain about the correct sequence to do this.
7) One other wrinkle is that KIS2012 has just been released. Upgrade will require that I first uninstall KIS2011.
Questions:
1. Should I perform the Office upgrade first, or should I upgrade Adobe CS first?
2. I assume, given the unresolved issues with the Adobe PDF Printer in my Acrobat 9 component of CS4, that I should perform a complete uninstall of CS4 & perhaps all Adobe Products (Including Adobe AIR), then run the CS4-5 removal tool, and only then attempt to cleanly install CS5.5?
3. Would it be advisable -- to avoid potential subtle AV or firewall issues -- to perform the Office and CS upgrades with KIS uninstalled (taking into account the requisite security considerations)?
If Adobe staff monitor this board, and if they would like the details/case number of my recent extended Tech Support incident, please let me know, and I will provide it via PM.
In the interim, I most certainly appreciate your assistance and advice!
RM

Hello, mylenium:
Thanks for your reply.
Kindly indulge my concern about this.
I am not a computer geek, but I have been working with PCs long enough to know that it often helps to plan ahead.
I am just looking to get a clean, uncorrupted install of CS5.5 DS Educational, with minimal risk.
Adobe CS is a LARGE, complex package, deeply integrated into the OS and other programs, and installation of which has been troublesome from time to time over the years.
And it has certainly cost me countless hours of frustration recently, trying to resolve the PDF Printer mess, especially since TS ultimately left my system in worse shape than it was when I first called.
I am not looking for guarantees or assurances.
I am really just looking for answers to my original questions.
(As far as the security stuff is concerned, I have the info I need on that from another source.)
So:
1) You say, "you will have to run the Cleaner Tool eventually", but do not say at what point in the process. I assume I will need to follow the tutorial posted in the Help section of the CS web site.
2) You say, "...None of that has anything to do with Microsoft's apps". Could you please tell me, though, whether I should perform the Office upgrade FIRST, or the Adobe CS5.5 upgrade FIRST?
3) I am confused by the "dumb file overwrite process" you mention. If I will be UNinstalling CS4 and running a cleanup tool prior to cleanly installing CS5.5, what files would remain to be over-written? (I am not planning an in-place upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5.)
Thanks very much for your patience and consideration,

Uninstall CS2 after upgrade to CS4 - is there a new walktrough

Just upgraded from CS2 Premium to CS4 Premium on Mac 0SX 10.5.6, but left CS2 on there as I wanted to copy over a few preset files etc from CS2 to CS4.
Now I want to remove CS2. I've got an old document link for removing CS2 but it mentions removing directories that I know CS4 has installed or shares (e.g. Adobe Utilities and Adobe Updater)
Is there a new walkthrough or utility to remove CS2 once you have upgraded to CS4?

Buko
That's a bit too succinct and general....
In your apps folder will be a folder call 'Adobe Creative Suite 2'. Within this is an' uninstallers' folder which contains the file 'How to uninstall.pdf'. This file is reproduced (as far as I can tell) at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331301
This talks you through the various folders/files to remove.
BUT BEWARE - this was written before CS3/4 existed and as my post (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b82bde) points out, there will be some folders it suggests you remove, but that CS4 actually need (e.g. Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities folder).
I'm seeking a new 'How to Remove CS2 after installing CS4' document myself.
Have spoken to Adobe Tech support today and their suggestion was to "not remove any files/folders you think CS4 may need'.
How flaky is that for Technical Support - some people like to keep their hard drives lean.

Upgraded to CS4 and now no FLV export plugin in Quicktime

When using CS3 Master Collection (on Mac 10.5.6) I could use Quicktime or Apple Compressor (uses QT) to export .mov files to .flv files. Then I upgraded to CS4 Master Collection and everything still worked. Then I got tired of having all the CS3 programs still on my computer so I used the CS3 disc to uninstall CS3. Later I noticed the Flash export within Quicktime was gone. So I put back CS3 install disc and just installed the Flash export components and then the .flv export was back on Quicktime. Though I solved the problem, shouldn't CS4 (upgrade) have that plugin as well? Did I do something wrong? Are other things going to be missing or go wrong since I uninstalled CS3? Let me know what you think. Thanks

Hi Todd, I bet you upgraded from a PPC machine.
The real problem here is that Flash 8 is/was not a universal binary (i.e. an app that is supported on both the PPC and the Intel Macs).
So the included "FLV Exporter" QuickTime component does not show up in the export dialog even if it's installed as it just does not get loaded.
(Should be in "NameOfSystemHD/Library/QuickTime").
If you update to Flash 9/CS3 you get a universal binary app and QT exporter component and it will work again on your (Intel) Mac Pro.
Btw., the Flash support that was in QuickTime had nothing to do with export - especially not with FLV - but with playback of Flash content.
Addionally, AE 7 isn't a universal binary either, so you will suffer some pretty serious performance losses.
Best regards, Oliver

Why can't PS7 users upgrade to CS4?

Does anybody know the logic behind the fact that PS7 users can't upgrade to CS4? I can't believe that Adobe doesn't have the IT knowledge to enable CS4 to be backwards compatible. One person suggested that I upgrade to CS2 or CS3 and then upgrade again to CS4. That will, of course, save me some money, but why on earth should I have to do that - it's still expensive? I think we all know the answer to that!!
Could I remind Adobe that we are in a "credit crunch" and that perhaps if their software was cheaper they might sell more. Or is that perhaps too logical?
Pam

Or, maybe she should deal with Adobe like she would any other company
that she hasn't bought anything from in about 8 years...
Call them up and find out what they can do for her...as you say, in this
economy perhaps they can offer her a discount on a new CS4 license. It
can't hurt to ask. If she's real nice and gets the right person you
never know.
But seriously, why do you feel this way, Dave? I understand wanting to
be treated fairly but that's a two way street. Has she been a loyal
customer? The answer is quite obviously no.
The fact that you, or any other regular upgrader would take this stance
surprises me. Here's why.
The Adobe installers are crappy enough as it is. Can you imagine if they
had to verify installation media and serial numbers that could be up to
20 years old? I know the argument that's coming...just have the person
call Adobe.
The glitch in that argument is that you need a human being to handle
that...and that costs money, which raises the price of the software for
EVERYONE. Would you, as a loyal customer who's purchased every upgrade,
be willing to underwrite that cost? What if Adobe allowed all previous
owners to upgrade to CS4 for $239.00 instead of $199.00. Now...how do
you feel about it?
People are complaining enough about the cost as it is. Would you then
jump in to chastise Adobe for jacking up the price? You can't have it
both ways...either you want loyal customers to be treated as such or you
don't, but allowing every who's ever purchased a product from any
company to get the same treatment as regular loyal customers just makes
no sense from a customer prospective or a business prospective.

I want to buy or upgrade to CS4

hello,
when I was in college in 2008, I bought a student edition of CS3.
since then, I've tried each new version of photoshop that has come available, and CS4 is my absolute favorite.
however I'm very confused by this new creative thing where you have to pay every month.
I just want to buy an upgrade to cs4.
is this possible, I don't know how to contact adobe support

You simply can't buy Photoshop CS4 directly from Adobe.
Adobe now only sells perpetual licenses to Photoshop CS6, and subscriptions that will allow you to run Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC 14.x, and Photoshop CC (2014).
The newest versions of Photoshop aren't really that different from Photoshop CS4, except that they have a lot of new features. They may require a bit more from your computer system to run.
There is a decently priced subscription program whereby you get use of Lightroom and Photoshop for $9.99/month. It's worth looking into.
