I followed all the installation instructions after purchasing the plugin, but when I open Photoshop CS3, it tells me that it couldn't activate/install some plugins. When I look at the filters menu, the plugin galaxy filters aren't there. The plugins are in the photoshop plugin folder, all seems fine there.
Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released today. To answer questions about compatibility, Adobe has create a and a Specifically, the Photoshop and Lightroom teams have been testing our applications since Lion became available to developers. Our teams worked closely with Apple to address/fix issues that were discovered while testing Photoshop CS5. Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop (CS3 and CS4) were also tested with Lion, with issues that were discovered being documented and addressed by working closely with Apple. The known are that and versions of Photoshop CS2 and earlier will not be able to run on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) due to the lack of Rosetta support in 10.7. I recommend that Mac users of Photoshop CS2 upgrade to Photoshop CS5 soon in order to be within the 3 versions back in order to enjoy discounted upgrade pricing.

If you do encounter issues not already documented, feel free to report them on our. Finally, Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) includes some exciting new features such as Autosave, Resume, Versioning, Full Screen Mode, and more multi-touch gestures.
Since many of these features require new code in order to work properly, the Photoshop and Lightroom teams will investigate which ones make sense to our customers for inclusion in future versions of our products. Additional Information. Photoshop CS5 Does not work with Lion in my experience and apparently many others. There are several patches out there like turning off the Font Preview in Photoshop preferences, that worked for a day.
Then read about Java for lion, that didn’t help. Now I’m trying to run a photography business with no Photoshop. I can open a raw image in raw dialog box and adjust it. Then once I click open the layers show up but the image is MIA. This is the case for PSD files as well. They appear to be open, the layers are there but the image is missing.
Can’t close or edit, have to shut down PS, it’s the only option. Any ideas ANYONE???
Try this: Uninstall Photoshop and all its programs. Then restart your computer. Then when it restarts, go to Disk Utility and do all the preference things. Like ‘Repair Preferences.’ Then immediately reinstall photoshop and all the stuff that comes with it. Restart your computer again.
When it restarts this time, do the Preferences thing again in Disk Utility just as before. As soon as it finishes, Quit Disk Utility and open Bridge. Hopefully it was just a preferences issue.
When I got CS5, for months I could only use a limited amount of Photoshop. NO OtHeR programs like bridge or anything else. Then I tried that, and FINALLY it all worked Good luck.
I know how frustrating it all can be. It’s just a hell to be using any Creative Suite product (exert Flash Builder as it’s built on Eclipse) on Lion, most problematic is the how their user interfaces works with lion. One issue is that as soon as one of these products are running they cluster the Mission Central so is’s useless when using CS apps, as this isn’t enough the also tends to cluster other applications running in fullscreen which is just not a okey workflow. I would love to see CS integrated with front most the fullscreen API, and versions and autosave would not be wrong as CS apps always seams to crash when they are not supposed to. I finally switched over to a mac and got the new os x 10.7.2. (YEA!) But, as I was transferring, I tried to instal lightroom 2 (which said it was compatible for mac and pc) it said it failed to install but gave no explanation. I’ve been on the phone with people in india (adobe help) and they didn’t really know.
And then another person in the states, and she said it didn’t really support lightroom 2 so I should just upgrade to lightroom 3. But that just doesn’t seem right. Is this really the way things are or should I just wait for adobe or mac to come out with something that will fix the problem? I agree that they shouldn’t make people pay for upgrades they don’t want just so their already purchased products will work. If there is no technical solution I suggest that Adobe give out free upgrades to people in this situation.
It really isn’t ethical what they are doing even if it was unintentional. Photoshop more than anything is the app I’d like to see work with these new features of Lion, especially versioning and fullscreen. It is absolutely pathetic that Adobe can’t have support for these features near the date of Lion’s release. Its now 4 months later in fact, and still nothing. Not to mention, Apple provided developer previews of Lion a YEAR in advance. Your team shouldn’t be “investigating” the new features at its release, they should have been wrapping it up.
This is part of Steve Jobs’s problem with Flash, as things change with Apple’s OSes, Adobe has no ability to keep up, even if given a year. I believe in Steve’s address about Flash on iOS, he even mentioned that Cocoa had been out for 10 years, and Adobe had just released a Cocoa version of Photoshop around the time he wrote it. I know Photoshop is a large, extremely complex app, but its also an expensive, professional app that should have the resources in place to adapt with changes to the OSes it runs on. Adobe should be ashamed. Who had a Cocoa/64bit version of a professional photo organizing software? (Hint: It wasn’t Apple. Correct Answer: Adobe Lightroom) Who had a Cocoa/64bit version of a professional video editing suite?
(Hint: It wasn’t Apple. Correct Answer: Adobe Production Premium with Premiere Pro, After Effects – and Photoshop) So, to say that Photoshop team doesn’t care about the Mac platform – or can’t keep up – is pure FUD if Apple itself took longer to port their professional apps. It wasn’t a small task for anyone, including Apple itself, to port robust, feature rich, mature applications to Cocoa/64bit. I’m a Mac user and fan –. Is Photoshop perfect? I’m one it’s biggest critics.
But, I don’t agree with your assessment that I should be ashamed. I’m proud of my work on Photoshop. I think you misunderstand what I meant, to some degree. I don’t think you should be ashamed of Photoshop as a whole, I think Photoshop is an amazing app and it’s by far one of my favorites.
The cocoa thing was just an example, I’m sure its a big undertaking, whatever. Let’s not get too sidetracked by that.
My main issue is that you guys aren’t able to get fairly simple features like going fullscreen out in any reasonable amount of time, you didn’t really address this in your response. Thank you, however, for your response. Again, thank you for the response. I also didn’t mean to say you or your team are lazy, but I think we’ve gotten to the heart of the issue with your latest response, it’s that Adobe intentionally holds back features until a major release. I mean, I understand that you can’t do anything about the company’s policy about when it gives out a new feature and of course your team deserves to be paid for their hard work. I guess personally I feel like some little (yes, this is in my opinion “little”) features along the way like going fullscreen would be a nice goodwill gesture to people who buy your $600 dollar apps. On the flip side, I totally understand if you guys do major things like rewrite it in 64bit, add 3D modeling, etc, that those are major features that deserve to be purchased.
