I've used Windows based computers for the last 8 years and recently switched to a new Macbook Pro. I own a copy of Adobe CS4 Web Premium, which I purchased back in 2008. I've also previously purchased a license for Adobe Photoshop CS3, and Dreamweaver CS3 back in 2007.
I've now changed over to a Mac, and lo and behold, after calling Adobe Technical Support, they won't let me cross-grade / switch platforms for my CS4 to Mac. I am incredibly saddenned and upset considering I've spent around $3000 for these products already. They also told me that I can't even pay a fee to switchover my product to the newest CS6 edition and move it to my Mac platform. What type of business does not allow you to pay a fee to change over?
I have decided not to go ahead with purchasing the Cloud monthly registration. So my only option left seems to be to sell my current windows based web premium license, and then purchase the newest CS6 web premium license for Mac.
Power Mac G5 crashed, we could not afford another, and he had just purchased CS5. So we could only afford the IMac now, we again needed to upgrade to CS6. The install alows you to use it on two computers, a computer and laptop.We tried explaining to the sales people when he finally got through, that we need an install for just a Windows laptop, we can not afford another Mac, we need a laptop for him in bed, if he will be able to do anything, he wants to work on his art.
They, Photoshop, were very unsimpethtic, we just purchased an upgrade for CS6, because of the IMac, yet, now we can not install and use our second choice on a Windows platform. Again, we would need to pay full upgrade price again. Yet, he only has it installed on Imac, they told him he would have to de-actiate it, WE KEEP COPIES ON A EXFAT32 harddrive too, and Mac, to share and show clients.
The people of Photoshop did not even care he is dying, literally, slowly,,, but he is keeping positive that all will be well, and survive.Timothy and Marcia Cannon we will no longer be a customer for Adobe.
I have ancient Mac photoshop and pagemaker files. i need best cross platform product for windows that can access these files. adobe photoshop is my primary concern. I understand the indesign cs2 will import old school mac photoshop 6.0.x but is not compatible with windows 7 ..
So in summary, need to determine which Windows 7 x64 version of Indesign CSxx will still open archaic Mac Adobe files (layouts, EPS, etc). Or is there a similar product that must be obtained. I prefer to stick to Adobe products
Also, if you know what I should obtain, does this product have a trial download option that I can test functionality before purchase?
Today i called into adobe to preform a cross-upgrade from my windows Photoshop Cs3 to mac Photoshop Cs4. All this together would cost 200$. I gave them my serial number twice, they repeated it back to me and everything was correct. But they said they could not find the serial number in the system. My parents bought it on a website from Canada 2 years ago so we no longer have the receipts. I say this because they said they would need proof then i could go ahead and start the process. Is there another way of prooving i purchased it or something else i can do?
Have CS3 photoshop on Windows 7 platform that crashes when loading jpg from email. It installs fine and then on several occassions when opening an email photo, it will freeze and gives message Licensing for this product has stopped working You cannot use this product at this time and must remove and install again
Been working on a project moving files from Light room 4 to Photoshop CS6 for final edits and experiencing recent files crashing PS CS6 when using the smart sharpen filter. I've processed hundreds of files in CS6 and never had this issue till lately. All other filters work fine, including other sharpen options, it's just the smart sharpen interface.
I over-installed/re-installed Photoshop CS6 thinking a driver might have corrupted for that filter, then installed all available upgrades but the problem persists. I can't figure it out, and it's a problem - I use smart sharpen a lot for final output. Am I overlooking something simple? Or, do I need to just uninstall PS CS6 and do a total re-install or is there another option?
restore the the ability of Photoshop to open with a preview on windows machines. That is; a single click on a file from within Photoshop gives a small preview image to tell you what it is you are opening. This is crucial to professional photographers in the industry working quickly with lots of images as I do in the medical/scientific photography field.
Every other version of Photoshop has had this feature and I can tell you a lot of power users like myself are not using CS6 just because a single click doesn't preview what you are opening. My company just spent $10,000 upgrading six machines and no-one is using CS6 for work - they are sticking with CS5. CS6 is only good for 'playing around' with photos, if production is key, then to save time, we need to see what we are opening on a single click - it's a no brainer! Check the forums to see this that is true, and if you are reading this and agree with me, write and tell adobe to fix this - pronto!

I am a long time user of LR and have the standalone LR4.4 on my Laptop and destop. I have just registered on the cloud for the full pacage and cannot download the LR5 from the cloud as a message comes up saying words to the effect. This platform does not support LR5.
Will 3D Studio Max/AutoDesk provide a path to the web? Is Scaleform that plan?
AutoDesk has concentrated on high-end cinematic and gaming markets, leaving lowly web productions to Swift 3D, Papervision and Away3D. I've looking for Autodesk's response for years. In my opinion it's Time to piggy back on the soon to be released Flash Player 11 3D Plug-in. Flash has a 99% web penetration and multi-platform delivery system (save the Iphone). But beyond the Flash Player 11 3D support, Autodesk needs to respond to Adobe.
Flash Player 11 codename Molehill has 3D baked in. This will give a 3D interface on multiple platforms. BTW, Adobe is also plunging into 3D, in it's graphics programs, e.g. photoshop - OK not the same I know. However, I can understand why AutoDesk wouldn't want to play with Adobe. Adobe has begun to seriously compete with other AutoDesk arena's (film editing).
But if AutoDesk has decided to not play on the web, or try to create a competing plug-in they’re making a strategic mistake. If you don't play you can't win. A competing plugin will never get the penetration -- just ask Unity3D. Which leaves working with Adobe. Which is kind of like practicing on the apposing team’s field. Waiting any further for hardware or HTML5 and SVG is just not smart.
Is there any news on porting Max content to SVG? I know Unity3D is porting their tool set. I read Unreal is also porting its engine.
I need to design a platform (total load 5 ton) that needs to be pulled up and lowered with one hydraulic cylinder that operates a cable system. The cable needs to go via wheels and other things to get in the corner of the platform. (I hope you can visualize what i mean with this task)
I wonder if there is a way to simulate cables (or ropes) in Inventor. And if so how can i do it.
I have an computer that suddenly can only open an .PDF file in Acrobat, and not in Illustrator. We have art files that are in PDF format, and Purchase Orders that are in PDF format. We would just drag the icon over the software we wished to open the file. In this case Illustrator for the art file and Acrobat for the P.O. As of today, PDF's only open with Acrobat and that's it. I know it's probably a setting I'm forgetting.
I'm using CS4. I have multiple layers of text and I want each one to have a different drop shadow effect. When I try to chnge the settings of one layer's shadow, all the layers change. Is there a way to stop this?
I'm not sure what I did to make this happen or how to change it back, but for some reason when I change the size of an object/line it changes the stroke weight as well. (For example, if I drew an ellipse with stroke weight 2 pt, and then increased the size the stroke weight would be 2.856 pt or some such number instead of 2 pt.) How to change this back?
The attached files are two sprockets. The original part has 30 teeth. I need 34 teeth.
The MODIFIED part has one of my attempts at making 34 teeth. I have tried the following with the same error dialog box (see below):
1. Edit Sketch_6 (associated with Extrusion1) by deleting all but one of the teeth lines (2 arcs and 2 lines that make up a tooth) and making a circular pattern of 34.
2. Same circular pattern, except this time I "Close the Loop" (right-click on one of the teeth line segments > Close Loop > click on all the segments until the loop is closed).
3. Same circular pattern, except this time change the resulting patterned lines into construction lines, trace these lines with arcs and lines of my own (not construction lines), and close the loop on my own lines.
When each of the 3 attempts failed, I tried deleting Extrusion1 and making a new Extrusion feature from Sketch_6. I cannot select what I want in Sketch_6 in order to make the teeth.
I'm at the point where I'm just going to take the dimensions from the circular pattern sketch of 34 teeth, delete Extrusion1 and Sketch_6, and make my own sketch and extrusion.
For the future, I really would like to know - why is it so difficult to alter features like this? Yes, I understand that Sketch_6 is not fully constrained, and on top of this I am not privy to how it was generated in the first place (this is a part file from a vendor). But it does not strike me as something overly complicated for the Extrusion feature to recognize a change in its associated sketch. This is not the first time I have encountered something like this.
I want to change the size of the image in Gimp to 3957x4429 px (67x75 cm) at a 150dpi (the image we have has a 300 dpi.) When i do this in image - print size it keeps changing the width.
The system is not allowing me to get the picture a few cm larger. Is there any way I can overwrite this?
I've been using Photoshop CS2 for several years to enhance my photographs, but just now have encountered something simple I cannot find out how to do. I have on the background layer a picture of a room interior with the exposure set mostly for the open window, but the rest of the room is very dark. On the only other layer, the upper one, I have the same shot exposed correctly for the room, which overexposes the window area. The upper and lower layers are perfectly superimposed, and the upper layer is at 100% opacity.
I have selected the window on the upper layer and want to change the selected area's opacity to blend properly with the window on the bottom layer without changing opacity of the rest of the layer. No matter what I do, changing opacity seems to affect only the entire layer, and I haven't figured out how to isolate the selected area for the opacity change.
I can cut the selection to reveal the darker window on the bottom layer, but this doesn't give me the flexibility I need to balance the two exposures. An opacity change would be ideal.
I am having trouble in changing the color of the bullets without changing the text color. Problem is I cannot select/highlight just the bullet so any new color selected applies to the whole line including bullet and text. I am using DP v 7.
Does changing the dpi of an image change the resolution of the image without changing the size?I have an image that is 300 dpi that I need to enlarge 400% changing the dpi to 75.I don't think manually changing the dpi to 600 will actually change the clarity of the image when enlarged 400%.
If I click on Open image on a 16 bit image in Raw Photoshop opens as 16 bit. But if I open it from within photoshop or from Bridge, it opens as 8 bit (when it was a 16 bit TIFF image)
I have just recently bought Photoshop, When I use the magnifier, it sometimes zooms on the left mouse button and zooms out on the right mouse button. Other times it doesn't do this. Why does it keep changing and how do I get it to stay on L/R button zoom?
I have just created my new site that has many English teachers on Skype All this was done using Photoshop cs6 but I had the problem with the zoom the whole time!
