Adobe Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 update – multiple languages

The Adobe® Photoshop® CS4 11.0.1 update addresses a number of issues discovered after Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended (11.0) software were released. 

The most significant fixes in the Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 update include the following:

Apple has posted a new update, 10.5.4 for Leopard users that is stated to resolve an issue with saving and reopening Adobe Creative Suite 3 files on a remote server. This issue has resulted in corrupted Photoshop and InDesign files when documents have been saved over a network volume.

The update should show when running Software Update and is available as a stand alone installer from Apple Support Downloads. The stand alone installer is 88MBs while the combo installer is 561MB.

The 10.5.4 update also includes recent security updates as well general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac. The 10.5.4 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard. Additional info about the update is here.

Mac Photoshop CS3 users who updated to Leopard 10.5.3 last week are reporting file corruption issues when saving files over the network to network mounted volumes. The issue seems to have come with the 10.5.3 update which updated certain network components. The issue seems to be related to a previous issue from January 2007 and the 10.4.5 to 10.4.6 update as outlined in this Adobe Tech document. The issue also appears to effect InDesign documents as well.

Adobe said it was looking into the matter but indications are that it’s an Apple issue to fix. Users report a work around by using the Save As command instead of simply saving over the remote file. It should be noted that Adobe doesn’t officially support opening and saving over a network and has long suggested copying a file locally and then moving it over the network.

Recently listed on the Photoshop Support Center are the following issues:

In Chapter 1 of my Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Photographers book, I provided a brief example of how one might apply the Lens Blur filter to a Smart Object in Photoshop CS3 and keep the background blur settings editable. However, it was pointed out to me just recently that the Lens Blur filter is actually disabled in CS3 when you seek to apply it to a Smart Object. This is one of those things that I failed to notice as I was finalizing the book and it seems that I am not the only author who got caught out by this late change to the program. Fortunately there is an easy remedy for accessing Lens Blur as a Smart Filter.

Short on the heels (in fact, the smoke is still coming off Adobe’s FTP servers) comes a post by John Nack on his Adobe bog that drills down into the printing fixes included in the Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) update. Read the post by John. Click here to download the PDF (04.9KB download) outlining the changes.

Adobe has announced that the Photoshop CS3 bug running on Apple’s Leopard where entered values in numerical fields won’t stick still exists for the new Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) update and the Leopard 10.5.1 update.

If you are, you aren’t alone. There are several “known issues” that Adobe is working on and expects to address with a Photoshop CS3 update in the not too distant future.

For the time being, if you are interested in participating in helping test the solutions, you can apply for the position of “tester” by visiting John’s blog, reading the post and following the directions (note, it’s really important to follow the directions!)

Adobe Photoshop QE has been able to reproduce a crash in the Windows version of Photoshop CS3 when the Microsoft IntelliPoint version 6.1 is also installed. Rolling the IntelliPoint drive back to version 5.5 seem to resolve the issue. Adobe Photoshop Q&E is continuing to work on the problem with MSFT.

There are some known issues with the Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta. For example running under MacIntel natively older non-Universal Binary plug-ins will not load into CS3. Also under MacIntel the normal brush size cursors are not working. The new UI can also “test” some Windows XP video drivers. Also, all plug-in filters will need to be updated to be used as Smart Filters in CS3. Read more info regarding issues on Scot Byer’s blog.
