Photoshop CS4 - CMYK as default mode?

Hello

I am running Photoshop CS4, a a few machines using Windows Vista and Windows 7, and I wonder if there is a way to change the default mode in CYMK at a new document, import of images etc.

For now, everything is oriented RGB. I looked in the Photoshop preferences and browsed the forums etc. nothing works.

So my question is this: is it possible to change the color mode to CMYK when you create default and opening documents?

I guess it is not an easy option (unless I missed it), so is it perhaps to do a plugin or script?

Thanks for reading, and the thoughts, questions and responses appreciated

Thank you

Photoshop remembers the setting in the file > new... dialog. When you create a new image in Photoshop always displays this window, for the color Mode choose CMYK and next time, when you create a new image of your last choice will be automatically selected.

However, there is one exception, when you copied the image data on your clippboard. Then the color Mode option will automatically be set to the color mode of the image that is in the Clipboard. You can always clear the image data in your Clipboard by copying the other thing like text.

When you open documents, they will be open in color mode, that they were saved. If you want to convert them to CMYK you can choose which of the Image > Mode menu.

  • Photoshop CS4 "Save" by default, how to change?

    I could not find out how to change the default value to 'save' in PS cs4.  If I open a photo, make adjustments by using different layers, then run 'save' it records in Tiff format.  I choose "Save as" and make your choice, regardless of the format, but 'save' in a 'save' original Tiff format by default  At one point I was saving by default a psd file and a day it changed on me... I don't know if I have inadvertently done something or no, but I would like to change it back.  If it makes any difference, I opened most of my photos in LR2.  I have looked through the section help and discussions here, but couldn't find an answer.  Note: If I do a "save under" first, no longer working on the photo and then run the command "Save", it will then record in any format that has been chosen in the initial report "save under" action.  Thank you.

    I had this problem too. It is part of the LR2 preferences... In the "External Editting" preferences tab LR2 specifies what CS4 format must use. Think it has changed automatically when I upgraded from LR2.3 to LR2.4 I changed back now.

  • Default values to set bridge run 32-bit Photoshop CS4 - why?

    I'll put up a new machine to Vista Ultimate 64 bit with Photoshop CS4. I'm more familiar with CS2 on a Windows XP computer.

    I read a few posts on the definition of bridge to launch 64-bit rather than Photoshop CS4 32-bit. I checked the file associations and all those I have checked are set to launch the 32 bit - I thought that the default would be to launch 64 bit. What is the default?

    Also, is it possible to determine when photoshop is launched, it is the 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Thank you.

  • I have problems with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Windows 7 32-bit Professiol.

    When I open an image of the bridge, the photoshop Panel is locked on one side of the screen.  The onle way I can get out of it is CTRL, alt, delete.  The problem persists.  I tried to uninstall Adobe and reinstall with no luck.  I called Adobe and they think that there is a problem with the security system in Windows.  Help, please.

    Hey jrcjr,

    This could be attributed to several factors such as conflicts between device drivers, applications, settings of operating system, hardware, and corrupt elements in specific files.

    Basic troubleshooting

    1. make sure that the computer meets the minimum requirements for Photoshop.
    2. install all Windows updates. .
    3 re-create the Photoshop preferences file.

    Re-create the Photoshop preferences file to eliminate problems that may cause a damaged Preferences file.

    To re-create the Photoshop preferences files:

    1. quit Photoshop.
    2. rename the \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp directory Users\ [username] Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.old.
    3 launch Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file.
    If the problem persists, the Photoshop preferences files aren't the cause. To restore custom settings, quit Photoshop, and then delete the new Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file and restore the original name of the previous Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4

    Dear representative of Adobe,

    I'm going to buy a new PC and I would like to re - install my version of Adobe Photoshop CS4 in my new computer. According to a friend, Adobe does not support older versions of their software and the older products such as CS4 have security vulnerabilities.  He advised me to go to the subscription model to be fully supported, or consider that it is a very good free program GIMP.  I am completely satisfied of the Adobe CS4 and I'm not interested in Update for the software based on a cloud that we must renew annually. Also, I don't have time to learn a new program.

    Could you please confirm with me that older versions of Adobe software, as one I use, have security vulnerabilities?

    Thank you

    I highly doubt that anyone from Adobe will be answering your question, or even read your question

    CS4 is no longer supported and may or may NOT work on a new computer

  • How can I get Photoshop CS4 to launch my Epson Scanner Software rather than the simplistic WIA support as a choice of import?

    I have an Epson Perfection V600 Scanner and want to start the default scan instead of the WIA software minimal support which is the only choice.  The Epson Scanner software works great as a stand alone.  I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, so I'm also using the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS4.  Thank you.

    Thanks R_Kelly to put me on the right track.  Once I launched the 32-bit version, I watched the start of properties and found this program in the folder Windows/twain32.  Then I went into the preferences of Adobe, Plug-ins and adding the two folder for the long version.  When I rebooted PS 32 - bit, the choice of the full version has been added in addition to the default value of supported WIA Basic.  Voila!  Thanks to all who responded.

  • Need help with a script customized for processing in Photoshop CS4 of images in batches. Really grateful for the help thereby.

    Hi people.

    So I have a boatload of pictures that I have to deal with as I'm moving off Ebay and open my own online store and the images that I have on Ebay, although excellent quality are not square, and unfortunately, the model that I use in Wordpress requires square photos.

    Basically, what I need is a script that I can use in batch mode, which will focus on the size of the image and change the canvas size to be square corresponding to the current long image side. Resize the image to 1600 square pixels and finally save for web in JPEG quality 60.

    Normally I would muddle my way through this trying to teach myself but I already do so much with this new project that I can't afford to pay developers for help that I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this script. I use Photoshop CS4 if it made a difference.

    Thanks much for any help you can offer.

    See you soon,.

    A simple gesture can do that. What you need to do is that the action of lot.   With the help of Photoshop Image Processor script.  The Action is a two-step

    N ° 1). File menu > automate > fit Image.  In the dialog box Image Fit you assign Width and Height 1600 pixels.

    Step 2.) Menu Image > canvas size.  In the canvas size dialog box, you assign Width and Height 1600 Pixels.

    Record the action in some action with a name like 1600PxSquare

    Then use the file menu to Photoshop > Scripts > image processor. In the dialog to the Image Processor script. Select your image source folder. Set where you want your jpeg images. Set it to save jpeg files quality 6.  Set it to include your 1600PxSquare action.

    Step adjustment image resize your image to fit in a 1600 x 1600 pixels are while keeping image proportions of images. Portrait image will be high 1600px and landscape image will be 1600px wide.  The step size canvas will add the canvas to make the place of the image.  Portraits will have a border on the left and right images of landscape will be confined to the op and downs.

  • 2nd monitor problems with Photoshop CS4 and CC

    I'm on a quest to solve a problem with my second monitor when using Photoshop. When I hit F in photoshop to switch between display modes or when I Zoom in or out this happens:

    IMG_2010.JPG

    OK, well it is turned on its side, but you get the point. Until very recently, I used OS x 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS4 with no problems but ran into some problems with applications etc so I upgraded to Yosemite. That's when the problem started. In order to solve what I did a clean install of Mavericks in the hope that Yosemite was too new and that he had not brought bugs. Then I reinstalled CS4 there more this problem, but another problem just as boring. the profile for the 2nd monitor appears so desaturated and terrible that I can't use it to edit, despite several attempts to recalibrate.

    Out of curiosity I tried the trial of CC in Photoshop to see if the problem of mosaic has been fixed, but it wasn't. Right now looked at color, but mosaic problem. Here is the info on my computer:

    I changed in system preferences > energy saver > graphics for better quality, but nothing has changed. In Photoshop, I tried Preferences > performance > the GPU settings > advanced settings > changed in Basic drawing and that did not solve the problem either. Any ideas?

    10.10 MacOS still has a number of video driver bugs, some causing display corruption and others causing accidents.

    Apple is aware of these driver problems and work on solutions.

    Turning off the use of Photoshop GPU can help.

    But if you need the GPU features, you can return to a stable version of MacOS.

  • Photoshop CS4. "KeyLines".

    I have Photoshop CS4 and I wish to place a thin black "keyline" around the actual image.

    I used to be able to do so-, but since an update I can not find a way to do more. Please could someone help?

    Just a thought, but you can try to use the style of the glow. Set its blending to multiply or normal mode and its 100% opacity.

    Another option is to use a style of outline.

    These two methods would mean that the person is a separate object from the background. So if you did not, you should choose the person and move it to a new layer.
