Open Notepad, paste the code, save as "PSLaunch.bat" instead of a ".txt", and if you want to make life extra easy, redirect your photoshop shortcut to the file. Please note, that this assumes you used the default install directory, if you installed it elsewhere, you will need to change the directory.
I've run it on Windows 10 since Win10 was released, and for the first few years it gave me no issues. However, on more recent updates (19XX/20XX builds), even with a fresh install of windows, it will randomly either work or get hung during launch. The bat file just helps to garentee that PSE5 launches consistantly.
I don't know what could be causing this issue with photoshop when there was no issue with Illustrator. I think it might just be that Windows 11 is still working out some kinks as it's still only a couple of months old, but I don't know if there are any other suggestions from anybody here that might be able to help.
Obviously the poster also uses Illustrator, which is only included in a much more expensive plan. I have a new PC with Windows 10 installed. Microsoft wants me to upgrade to 11 so I was here seeing if people are having problems with these older programs on the new platform. I will stay with windows 10 for now until I can be assured the new version won't mess up the LR 6 and CS5.5 programs that do everything that I need them to do. Would I like to upgrade, sure, but I also really dislike the rental business model so I won't. In fact I have been looking at other single purchase options. If I didn't rely on the cataloging features of LR or use InDesign so much I would have already switched to ON1 PhotoRAW.
Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10 (and MAYBE Windows 11 ?)
-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window
-and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions
-also -productkb/global/create-local-administrator-account-windows.html
then maybe you don't have it configured correctly. I have no issues on the two commputers where I currently have the entire suite installed (except dreamworks which I didn't use so deleted-Word press is so much easier) with the Windows 10 operating system. I used it for years on my previous windows 10 laptop with no issues once it was set up correctly. Adobe even made the license transfer easy with my outdated product - just took a few minutes on Chat to get it switched to my new laptop now that it is no longer tracked online through my account.
Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc. for Windows and macOS. It was originally created in 1987 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, the software has become the most used tool for professional digital art, especially in raster graphics editing. The software's name is often colloquially used as a verb (e.g. "to photoshop an image", "photoshopping", and "photoshop contest")[6] although Adobe discourages such use.[7]
Photoshop and derivatives such as Photoshopped (or just Shopped) have become verbs that are sometimes used to refer to images edited by Photoshop,[34] or any image manipulation program. The same happens not only in English but as the Portuguese Wikipedia entry for image manipulation attests, even in that language, with the trademark being followed by the Portuguese verb termination -ar, yielding the word "photoshopar" (to photoshop). Such derivatives are discouraged by Adobe[7] because, in order to maintain validity and protect the trademark from becoming generic, trademarks must be used as proper nouns.[citation needed]
I have a Surface Pro X which has been updated to Windows 11 via Windows Insider program beta. It is updated to the latest version and I haven't had any issues with any applications. Since updating, Adobe Creative Cloud and Photoshop have not been working. Even attempting to open photoshop or CC leads to tons of errors that pop up spastically. I had to use the adobe cloud cleaner tool just to get it uninstalled from my device properly. Has this happened to anyone else? Has anyone found a way to circumvent this issue? I have tried downloading photoshop without CC but CC ends up downloading first regardless. I have also tried downloading previous versions of photoshop and the new beta version of photoshop. No results with any of the above. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
It turns out photoshop respects an ancient Windows setting for customizing your window and menu colors, even though that option isn't available anymore in windows 10 or 11. You can still change the colors through the registry, or through a little freeware tool.
In the pane on the right you'll see various keys, representing UI elements that can be recolored. Most of them (seemingly) won't work because Windows 10 puts a new custom interface on top of all the old menus. But photoshop's white menu will be affected. Double click the "menu" key on the right, and change it to whatever you want. the format is RGB numbers between 0 and 255, separated by a space. Examples:
40 40 40 = Very dark gray.
255 0 0 = pure red.
etc.
I was using a PC running windows xp Professional since it came out, but my fossil PC STOPPED OPENING. To make thing worse my loving family put me into Assisted Living to enable them to steal my home including tools for working wood and metal [one was a Bailey 5 velocipede lathe...do a search it's was a beautiful Pine green with cream pin stripes]
My true dilemq is I BOUGHT A MAC 27" and photoshop is now leasing their products so l turned to Affinity, but since 2019 I have not gained an insite and by this have not made a single graphic. I would appreciate any help. I have purchased classes and the have not helped as l learned Photoshop from scratch exploring filter, the tool bar. The learning curve was staggering until l realized the key was to concentrate what l had learned NOT what there yet to learn.Within 90 days I was designing Utah High School State championship Programs that were comparable to sports illustrations cover designs except our digital press looked clearer than National Geographic.
I've installed a font that has different styles (bold, italics, thin, medium, ultra and so on...), but I can't use them all because I can't see them in Photoshop. The fonts are installed, but seem in some way "overlapped" by windows.
For me in Windows, Adobe has always had a missing fonts problem: fonts installed are not listed. The solution is to put copies OR SHORTCUTS of the fonts that are missing into the adobe common fonts folder. On my 64-bit machine the default location is:
I created a shortcut to my system fonts folder in the above listed folder, and all the previously unlisted fonts are now shown in adobe programs. Using a shortcut ensures that any fonts I add later are automatically scanned by adobe programs upon startup.
Photoshop gives us two main ways to view our images on the screen as we're working. We can view them as tabbed documents or as floating document windows. In this tutorial, we'll learn the difference between tabbed and floating document windows in Photoshop. We'll also learn how to switch between tabbed and floating documents. And we'll learn how to set up Photoshop's Preferences to automatically open future documents in whichever style you like best. I'll be using Photoshop CC but this tutorial is fully compatible with Photoshop CS6.
To change the order of tabbed documents, click and hold on a tab and drag it to the left or right of other tabs. Release your mouse button to drop the tab into place. Make sure, though, that you drag straight across horizontally. If you drag diagonally, you may accidentally create a floating document window. We'll look at floating windows next:
The other way to view your open images in Photoshop is by displaying them as floating document windows. Let's say you have multiple images open as tabs, as I do here. To turn one of the tabs into a floating window, click on the tab and, with your mouse button held down, drag the tab down and away from the other tabs:
When you release your mouse button, the image appears in a floating window in front of the other tabbed documents. You can move floating windows around on the screen by clicking in the gray tab area along the top of the window and, with your mouse button held down, dragging it around with your mouse:
If you want to switch all of your tabbed documents into floating windows, go up to the Window menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen, choose Arrange, and then choose Float All in Windows:
And now all three of my images appear in floating windows, with the currently active window displayed in front of the others. Again, we can move the windows around on the screen to reposition them by clicking and dragging the tab area along the top of each window. To make a different window active and bring it to the front, just click on it:
One of the main advantages to viewing our images as floating documents is that we can see more than one image at a time. But that can also cause problems. Too many floating windows open at once can clutter up the screen. Also, some of the windows can completely block others from view. Fortunately, there's an easy way to select any image that's open in Photoshop, even if you can't see it.
Once you decide which viewing style you like best (tabbed documents or floating windows), you can tell Photoshop to open all future images in that style using an option found in the Preferences. If you're using Photoshop CC, then on a Windows PC, go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen, choose Preferences, and then choose Workspace. On a Mac, go up to the Photoshop CC menu, choose Preferences, then choose Workspace:
