I had to uninstall PS CS6. How can I re-install it without the disk (I have my serial number and receipt). I can't see where to download it on the Adobe website unless I want to purchase a new copy. It is for a Macbook Pro.

I've been using Photoshop since 1998 but my HDD recently suffered a complete failure and I've had to change the drive. Unfortunately, I don't have my original Photoshop disk, only a CS2 and CS5 upgrade disk (with both serial numbers).

When the menu option is clicked, it displays three sub-categories - Audio Clips, Image Clips, & Video Clips. When each of those sub-categories is clicked it opens a Windows Explorer window showing the contents of the folder on the install disk. I can't find anywhere that these clips got installed onto my PC.how do I install this Bonus Content, so that VS X3 can use it? If I just copy it to my hard drive, what folder to I place it into?

I can only run a "clean" install from my OEM disk which means reloading all applications. I was wondering if I should give up and install Windows 7.
What has been your experience with Windows 7/ Did you do a "clean" install or just the update.
I have an HP with Windows XP service pack 2 OS. Exceeds all of the requirements to run CS3. Just purchased CS3. When I install the DVD, it will not launch. When I try and run setup from the Adobe CS3 folder, I get an error message as follows; Adobe CS3setup.exe is not a valid win32 application. This DVD is marked Windows. So I'm dead in the water, can't get out of the gate. Anyone have some ideas ?

Trying to put the scratch disk on the second (old) drive to reduce wear on the SSD. But every time I do, I get the disk error message and it erases all my settings (so annoying!)
Â
I figure it's a permissions thing since I've had to deal with that already to some degree, but I don't know how to fix it since I don't know where adobe is trying to save the scratch file.
I have CS2 Premium which I'm running on an older PowerPC Mac (G5 - Dual 2.3 GHz ) running OS 10.4.11. I've had this setup for many many years (registered/activated with Adobe) but suddenly one day I could no longer launch my Photoshop app: when I clicked on the Pshop icon it would start the launch (open) procedure ... and then almost instantly it would quit (in just a few seconds ... before the application even got to the 'title/credit' screen).
Â
I've recently tried uninstalling CS2 (everything except Acrobat) and I ended up doing a manual uninstall of Version Cue. I've been on Macs for 20+ years so figured this would be a pretty straightforward procedure - uninstall -> reinstall and then back to work. Nope.
Â
I'm attempting a fresh installation direct from the original CS2 CDs. In any event, when I try to (re)install CS2 - and after going through the standard screens with Adobe's usage terms agreement and installation hard disk selection -Â I arrive at the screen where one selects which application(s) to install by checking the various boxes (or alternately, to install the entire suite) but the 'Adobe Photoshop CS2/Adobe ImageReady CS2' line and checkbox are grayed out, so it will not allow me to check them and continue with the Photoshop installation process.

The metadata for one or more of these photos has been changed by another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?

What exactly does that mean? This seems to happen every time I export an image to PS (CS5) and return to LR. What exactly has changed? What settings are being imported if I choose 'import settings from disk'.

I can reproduce the following: reinstall PS CS6, Change 1 preference, namely make another disk the scratch disk, move it to 1st place. Problem reappears. It appears I must leave the boot disk as the primary scratch disk. All my disks are OK, repaired & permissions verified by Disk Util.Even if I just clear prefs, verify releaunch is OK, and change this one preference, I get the prob.

I have recently bought an SSD (sandisk 120GB) which i have installed windows on. i have another 500gb internal drive which is empty and am wondering whether i should install photoshop on the 500gb drive and put the scratch disk on the SSD or the other way round.
View 4 Replies View Relatedhow an SSD differs from a regular hard drive, there is no drop in performance when your stratch disk is assigned to the same SSD containing your Photoshop app.. I heard this setup is much faster than the conventional setup of having your app and scratch disk on separate hard drives.

Â
My old system just could not cope with the demands I was putting on it as It only had 12gb RAM. I have two scratch disks set up x1 30gb SSD (dedicated) and x1 240gb SSD ( has other stuff on it with 75gb free ). I am also using Photoshop CS5 Extended (updated) with RAM usage set to 80% (23976).
Â
While I realise PS will still make use of the scratch disk despite the amount of RAM I was shocked to see the first drive (30gb) was almost full with 5gb space left when I loaded the PSB file with x9 layers. Looking at the meta data in Bridge it tells me the file size is 6.90GB with pixel dimensions of 34646x18898@200ppi. Windows reports that I am only using 20GB of my 32GB..
Â
Shouldn't PS be using more RAM before going to the slower reads on a SSD? Windows Task Manager tells me I have 8150 RAM cached, 12310 RAM Available and 4215 RAM Free. If Photoshop is not using the 12GB would it be wise to make a 9GB RAM DISK for an addition boost...not even sure if that would work, but, I hate the feeling of having all that RAM and 1/3 not being used.
I added a second hard drive and would like to know how to best set it up for use as a scratch disk.
The default in the Plug-Ins & Scratch Disks dialogue box was:
First: Startup
Second: None
Third: None
Fourth: None
I'm wondering if I should change the first to the new drive or keep it as "startup" and add the new drive to second.
I have a Mac Pro, with more than one HD. When I try to assign the other drive as the Scratch disk, and relaunch PS, I get the dreaded "can't access disk". I then have to remove prefs. and my Scratch disk no longer appears.

I am using Photoshop 6. Since I have loaded a picture from a floppy disk, Photoshop keeps searching the a:/ disk of my computer with almost every action I do (selecting a tool, opening the layer style window, selecting a layer, what ever)
Every time I hear the sound of the computrer searching for a floppy, that is not there, and see the light of the a: drive flickering.
It makes working with PS rather slow.
This only happens with PS not with other programs. And it continues after resetting the computer.

View 2 Replies View Relatedmy computer got a lil virus, I had to system restore. Virus gone, BUT, seems as though my Photoshop kind of reset itself. Becuase when I opened it, the template was different (I used to have only 2 windows on the right, it reset itself to open with 4 windows) and when I used to create a new file the background was the transparent checkered pattern, and now it's just a plan white background, so something obviously reset.
THat's cool, no problem there. So I go to create a new photo, and I use a VERY simple too, I use the Paint Bucket to fill a 500x500 image, Photoshop has a lilttle load bar come up so it can LOAD to fill my little space, and if i let it sit, it will eventually say "Scratch Disk is Full".
Now, I've gone online to see how to fix that. I've found multiple FAQ sites. And this is what I've done to still no avail:
1. I've gone into Preferences and set the Scratch Disk location to my C:// drive that it previously was.
2. Set it so that 100% of my RAM can be used for Photoshop
3. Defragmented my C:// Drive
4. Searched for any ~PSD temp files, my computer said it found none.
When I attempt to load photoshop,
A pop up box appears saying that the selected scratch disks are almost full,
and there are 4 drop down boxes: First, Second, Third, Fourth.
With the "First", with either Startup or C drive selected, photoshop won't load.
This pop up box has never appeared before.
So, when I press ok on this box, photoshop continues to load for a few seconds then it states that it cannot continue loading because there was an error that it couldn't recover from!
There are no PST temporary files located on my computer,
And it isn't the "working with large image" problem because I don't even GET to open photoshop in the first place!
I am now working with 10megapixel images, just basic post processing i.e. saturation, curves, and sharpening.
My question is as follows.
I have a 1.6ghz dell laptop, with 1gb ram, and 80gb hd with about 32gb free.
Sometimes when batch processing (50 to 100 photos) at once, Ill get the scratch disk full error. I know its not a good idea to have the scratch and OS on the same drive, but not much I can do about it. I'm thinking about getting another gig of ram to bring me up to a total of 2gb, and a 500gb external hard drive. I can move the photos (about 20gigs worth) to the external, then i'd have about 50gigs free on my internal. I know an external is not the best for scratch, but again it will only be if I use the 50gb on my internal first. I will eventually have to get another HD anyway for these huge images.
So will a total of 2gb ram, 50gigs free on internal for primary scratch, and the remainder of my 500gb external for secondary scratch, give me a noticeable improvement?
I am getting a "Scratch disk almost full" message when I start up PS.
I'm using v7.0 on XP.
The first disk offers me the option of C:/ or Startup.
When I select startup it complains its almost full but I can't find out where it is so I can empty it!
If I select C:/ it complains about sharing with windows and I don't know how to offer any further alternative.
How much hard drive space should be allocated to photoshop? We are working with files at times exceeding 6GB. We have 32GB of RAM and a few hard drives, internal and external. Second: the size of my Documents folder is no more than 250gb and the capacity of the system hard drive is 500. What else could possibly take up so much room? the programs take up about 50gb so im left with 200 missing GB?

So I just purchased and installed my first copy of an Adobe Suite and now I can't print. Back story: I had CS4 on my machine from my last job and it printed fine. When I lost my job, I went the legit route and installed the demo for CS 6 until I was able to aquire my own copy. CS 6 also printed fine.
I found a version on eBay of CS 5.5 and was eager to install. Yes, it is a full legit version with original disc and packaging; the seller even went so far as to have the liscence transfered over to me. I used the "AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool" to remove all previous versions before doing a clean install of CS 5.5. Everything else in the suite seems to be running normally except printing.
Â
I've looked on the forums and tried several of their suggestions to no avail:
1) I tried changing the "Color Handling" in the print options box.
2) I tired running it in 32 bit mode.
3) I tried fixing permissions.
4) I trashed my preferences and tried the Shift-Option-Command trick
5) I updated the Adobe software (no updates for Photoshop)
6) I reinstalled my printer drivers.
Â
I just printed last night from CS 6 and now no luck today.
I am on OSX10.6.8 with CS4 and CS5 (some of my actions only run on CS4, so I quit and launch back and forth).
Â
I had my CS 4 and 5 Scratch Prefs set to a specific scratch partition on another local disk where I had a small partition dedicated towards it. I was doing some disk maintenance on that other disk and forget to go into CS and reset the scratch to the start-up disk. Now I cannot open CS4 or CS5 because it is looking for a scratch disk that does not exist.
Â
Is a complete re-install the only fix, or is there a command line or other way other way than a complete re-install?
I only hav the serial number, no disk
