Recently upgraded iMac to Sierra. Now when I try to launch Photoshop
CS4, I get the message,
"To open "Adobe Photoshop CS4.app" you need to install the legacy Java
SE 6 runtime."
Will loading this older runtime cause problems with other apps or reduce
security on my Mac?
TIA,
Ron

no.

it's java, and an old version at that, so yes.

photoshop does not use java (it's an apple bug that won't ever be
fixed), so it's possible to spoof the check, however, you now have to
disable sip to do so and keep reapplying the fix every time you update
sierra, making it not a viable option.

For $10 per month you get a subscription to Lightroom and Photoshop.
Always up-to-date, no obsolete Java (with possible security risks)
required.

It hasn't affected OSes up to Sierra/ But I haven't tried Sierra Yet. I
know every time you switch to a new OS you have to reload it.
I'll have to try and see I have one legacy program I'd like to continue
to work as I use it to maintain a website I have I designed it using
DreamWeaver and way to large and complicated to redesign using something
else.

particularly if you're still using cs4.

That's a common theme, and a personal decision. It amuses me that
people who subscribe via monthly payments to electricity, phone
service, gas service, cable TV, water, mortgage or rent payments, car
payments, magazines, newspapers, et al. balk at a subscription model
for world-class graphics software. $9.99 per month for Lightroom and
Photoshop is a no-brainer for me.

People use their electricity, phone, gas, TV, water and house every day,
so an ongoing payment feels appropriate. The vast majority of people
using Photoshop that frequently and regularly are professionals whose
subscriptions are likely either a business expense, or being paid for by
their employer.

For 'normal' people who might only need Photoshop's features a few times
a year, I completely understand why paying for it monthly just feels
like a waste of money, whether it really is or not.

for normal people, there is photoshop elements, which is about $50-60
street price.

Laugh it up, fuzz ball. : ) Meanwhile, it amuses some of us that people
will gleefully support a scheme that results in them not being able to
use a piece of software if they don't continually fork over cash for it.
Some of us value longevity and have computers that are decades old that
are (prepare yourself for this shock) still able to run all of the
software on them today without paying a single red cent, because that
software did not demand a subscription. In fact many of the companies
that created said software are no longer around today, or have moved on
to newer versions, yet the software still runs just fine because it does
not require connection to the internet or subscription servers that no
longer exist. There is high value in that for some people.

I have to agree with Davoud on this question. The Adobe PS+LR CC
subscription for $9.99/month is a no-brainer.

If you don't want to go that route then the best current non-Adobe options
are Luminar, Affinity Photo, & Pixelmator.

I am a retired, photo amateur who has paid his own way with Photoshop and
Lightroom through upgrades for years. I have been an Adobe CC subscribers
for 3+ years and for those of us who use LR+PS as our workflow it is a
bargain. I have never written the cost off as a business expense, or had it
paid for by an employer.

For those Mac users who don't care to pay for the Adobe CC model there are
the very good Luminar, Affinity Photo, or Pixelmator to use.

OK, so after 12 years "teasing" a defunct forum, what is the

I don't like subscription Model either but that what all big

and also Photography setup (Photoshop and Lightroom) if I were to pay
sub for Dreamweaver it would Double or triple my subscription payments
to Adobe. Now Subscription to Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook,
and One note, is a bargain $99 a Year a Life time license is close t
$400.00 for Home/Business version.

There is another added benefit to several of these, Luminar, Exposure
X2, and On1 Photo RAW 2017 also install as plugins for PS, PSE, and LR.

Pixelmator, Affinity Photos, and some On1 Develop features install as
Photos extensions.

BTW: A computer with Adobe CC installed only has to be connected to the

I meant to add;
These days there are plenty of very good non-subscription, standalone
photo editing/processing apps available, some OSX exclusive, and some
cross platform OSX/Win. Along with the above mentioned PS Elements,
Luminar, Affinity Photo, and Pixelmator, there are also Alienskin
Exposure X2, and On1 Photo RAW 2017.

Good point. I own Affinity Photo and Pixelmator. Both are great for the
majority of my graphics needs.
Thanks for the other recommendations. I think it's great that there are
so many viable choices these days!

Right, but as soon as Adobe stops supporting older versions )which is

Depends on what exact question we are discussing. You think if someone
could have a regular use for the subscription software (see Calum's
good point), they should obviously use it?

But now, why is this *so obvious*? Perhaps the window shoppers on this
matter are short of cash and perhaps they can't make it pay for them.

Perhaps a lot of other things about *other people*. Amazing - or not -
how so many people have such very narrow view of others! Very
Republican really!

In other words there are other options.

By the way, wtf do you guys do with all this fancy latest software?

Over the years I have developed a Lightroom + Photoshop workflow which
I am very familiar with, and as a result in my photography enthusiast
mind I can produce images which first and foremost satisfy me. However,
these days Lightroom has become a more than adequate photo editor,
especially if you do not need PS for compositing. So LR is my primary
processing/editing tool.
That said, I have also installed various LR & PS plugins and upgrades
to those plugins. Along with those, I have explored and bought most of
the various alternative software, and I find myself impressed with all
they have to offer.

Perhaps that is true, but as for myself, I am an amateur, hobbyist,
enthusiast photographer, and in all my years of photography I have only
had one individual insist on paying me for the work I did. So I haven't
made it pay for me.
Photography is strictly for my pleasure and over the years I have spent
tens of thousands of dollars on cameras, lenses, accessories and
software. As a matter of fact, today I just spent $2000+ on a new
camera body and some other stuff from B&H.

Unfortunately CS4 on Snow Leopard, while very capable is running on
borrowed time. When you finally upgrade/update your system, CS4 might
not be able to follow. Then you are going to have to decide just how
much you need PS. One of those other options might suit you better, or
you might take the plunge into the $9.99/month Adobe CC subscription.
Today, if I had to make do with one of the options I would seriously
consider Luminar, AlienSkin Exposure X2, or On1 Photo RAW 2017 all of
which work superbly as standalone apps.

Are you quite sure? This matter is not usually a coin where business
is one side and pleasure the other. More complicated than than that
usually. Not many art photographers, for example, come out much ahead
financially for it, but it is not *strictly* for their pleasure only.
It is important to them that they can share.

In my case, in case you are interested, I have had many photographic
jobs and sold a fair few pictures and it has been also a part of
website design in recent years. A lot of the great satisfaction in it
left me with digital. Sure easier now. Perhaps it is too easy now, the
wonder of the process not there so much. Big subject...

I have it vaguely in mind that for a very long time I will have at
least one or two machines capable of running SL even if I use more
modern for other purposes. Reminder to self, look out for any second
hand Macs in good nick to keep as spare. (Why is my late 2009 Macbook
still going strong? Has a constant of nature ceased to be? Is its
longevity a greater miracle than bearded men in rags walking on water
or turning a bit of bread and fish into a lot just like that?)

You might say my photography is eclectic as I shoot stuff from
landscapes, motorsport, airshows, candid street, and more. Sometimes I
look to create something beyond the purely documentary, but mostly it
is all for my head.

A taste:

Hello again, Phillip. Thanks again for responding. :-)

I expect you've read here:-
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/opeople-ocontacts/access-denied/561900f2-28a7-45c8-ad41-be014e8a8810

I STILL do not understand WHY '...winston' needs 11 Microsoft Accounts.
Perhaps because he's an MVP; is that it?!!

Can YOU explain - or maybe ask on the Microsoft Answers forums.
Alternatively , perhaps, ask him on the 'new' User2User newsgroup which
is running on the 'news.dogagent.com' server?

As far as I can tell, just ONE account provides a 'key' to all sections
of the Microsoft empire. That's what it says here anyway:-

http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/account/

One last thing. Can you find out why this item has been deleted?

If you can read my comments under this YouTube video they may prove
helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ0sou3GHBQ

I kept a screenshot of part of my conversation with 'Rob'. You may read
same here if you wish:-

I'll be most interested in any comments you may like to make. You are
one of the few people I've met on-line who I completely trust, Phillip!

Have a grand day! :-)

I don't believe you are in any way curious. It's a shame, because when I

Yes we are. It's a crime to access a PRIVATE server you've
been BANNED on. Creating countless new nyms is proof you are aware you
were BANNED.
Read the BRITISH law. It's quite specific.

subscription versions are automatically updated on a continual basis.

it's the standalone versions that cease to function at some point,
unless they're updated to a more recent version.

cs4, the topic of this thread, hasn't been supported in years.

It was a purely opportunistic shot. He was panhandling outside a
grocery store, I had my D300S sitting on my passenger seat, I gave him
some change and took the shot through the rolled down window on the
passenger side.

It was processed using Photoshop + NIK Silver Efex Pro2.

That's not the point I was making. Does the latest version of Photoshop
CC run on macOS 10.7? How about 10.8 or 10.9? At some point support will
drop for older operating systems and hardware. And at some point in the
future, if and when Adobe stops supporting subscriptions for those older
versions (or Adobe drops them and moves on to better things), that
software will just stop working on those systems. My point is longevity
of software matters to some people for some use cases.

> cs4, the topic of this thread, hasn't been supported in years.

Yet it will run *indefinitely* in contrast.

i'm pretty sure cc won't update if it requires a system later than the
one you're currently using.

you can also keep an older version.

only if you don't ever upgrade the system on which it's running.

Keeping it installed isn't going to be much help if it stops working
because Adobe's moved on though.

The point is if nothing on the system is changed, some people want the
software on that system to run indefinitely without continual payments
and without connecting to remote subscription servers.

others want the new features in newer versions.

for those that keep using an older version on older hardware, at some
point, that hardware will stop working and they'll be forced to
upgrade.

How will it continue to work if it cannot contact subscription servers?

older versions can ping the servers the same as newer versions. it's
just checking for a paid account.

Again, there is value in software that can run *indefinitely* (look up
the definition of that word if you are confused about it) without
constant payments and without repeatedly contacting subscription
servers. You subscription cheerleaders can argue about this all you
want, but nothing will change this fact.

Any server you do not OWN is PRIVATE. It belongs to someone
else. It can have public access, but you must abide by their rules.

So of course you are a CRIMINAL for hacking it (if that's what
you are asking). You broke the law.
Drinking more recently ? What a stuuuupid question, even for
you.

Extract from a LinkedIn discussion:-

Prof John Walker FRSA Purveyor Dark Intelligence
So true - but it is the missing component - one only has to look at
*falsified Linkedin profiles* of people who, say claim 30 years in the
industry, and who have served in the RAF - taken in sadly but the people
who run Infosec UK, and other global security organisations - who do not
seem to care - so yes you are spot on.

David B asked ....

What percentage of LinkedIn profiles do you suspect are falsified?

This is ONE I believe to be false:- https://www.linkedin.com/in/pauladare/

Have you any way of checking?


Justin White asked ....
David B. Why do you believe that one to be false? After ten seconds of
investigating I found this.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/profile/paul%20adare?type=forum&type=forum


David B. said ....

Can you ask why he participated in this thread?

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/WindowsDefenderATPPreview/thread/6a77429e-9a0c-4f41-a4a4-cb861b717224/#dfca1cd2-273f-43ef-969b-62b64139f616


On his Twitter page (@TheOtherPKIGuy) Paul claims that he is
self-employed. On his LinkedIn page, it says he runs a company
"Owner - Company Name: FYI TechKnowlogy Services" - I believe that to be
fictitious.

In the now deleted thread shown above, it was claimed that Paul Adare is
actually employed by Microsoft.

ALL the claims cannot be right! You should investigate www.IdentIt.ca -
if you use waybackmachine you'll discover that Mr Adare was one of the
two guys who set up the company. After the fiasco at the link above, the
web site has been taken down (or has it?!!!)

David B asked ....

Hello Justin - did you ask Mr Adare? Does he actually work for
Microsoft or for the company cited on his LinkedIn page?

Since you left your email addy in your signature block, and, David
Brooks has been able to initiate contact with you via usenet, expect
one or more emails by him asking how to do this or that. Leading
upto, how to get his 'revenge' on me for well, a war he started with
me that he had no hope in winning.

As that's his M.O. You've essentially responded to a stalker in a
friendly fashion, so, if he hasn't already reached out to you, he
will soon enough.

Case in point:

If the guy BD is stalking gets arrested for helping him hack,
he can't say we didn't warn him.
Though just the fact that he said a PRIVATE server was
"public" shows that he's either brain dead, yet another one of BD's
many socks or one of BD's fsck buddies..

With something like: "I should be most grateful if you would, in some way,
acknowledge receipt of this message" so that he can get your IP# to
facilitate his staulking.

Heh, it's better than that. Here's what BD does to people that won't
help him stalk/hack other systems on his behalf and turn over their
user databases. He'll download what isn't his to keep a copy of,
modify it, and upload it to youtube. He somehow thinks this works as
a method of intimidation. The excessive alcohol consumption must
have done a number on his brain cells.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkcrTBG_M-Y

All because of this email correspondence between the two of us, where
you can clearly read for yourself, I wouldn't help him stalk or hack
others he wanted more information on. I was more than willing to
assist him in any malware issues he felt he had, or that he felt any
site had, but, not one single time would he/could he provide me a url
to examine for evidence of malware, or, collect a sample of such.

http://bughunter.it-mate.co.uk/bdemail1.zip

Anyone who hasn't already read the email archive should do so, to
familiarize themselves with what he really is. And anyone who doesn't
approve of his activities and would like to speak to him about it,
over the phone, via email, and/or in person, can easily do so by
viewing this picture:

http://picpaste.com/01bBZABL.jpg

Of course, visiting in person must wait until he returns from his
drunken binges and boating trips. He delayed contact with police
officers that wanted to interview him about an online threat with a
9mm pistol he claimed to have a legal right to have in his possession
against another posters kids. So, don't expect the coward to be home
during the summer time. Probably better to call ahead and/or email.

And if you do either, be sure you use a burner phone and/or
disposable email address, or, you'll be his next stalking victim.

It's also worth noting that the police officers who investigated the
complaint determined he had no such permits/permission of any sort to
have any firearm and he denied having one when they did finally catch
upto him.

So, he either lied to the other poster about the handgun, or, he lied
to the cops about having it. If he does have one, he doesn't have it
legally in his country, despite his claims to the contrary. So either
way you slice it, the result is the same. He's a liar and every bit
the piece of shit I've *always* warned others he was.

You aren't, though.

I found your youtube channel with a further degraded copy of my video
that you copied from my personal website and altered without my
permission. You made it very easy when you posted a link in this
newsgroup. You did advise that one should read a comment you left; so I
did. And, when I clicked your name, there was your channel on youtube.

When you send a video to youtube, they recompress it for you; reducing
the video quality that much more. Since you already lost the audio
track and damaged the original video quality with your MAC, you didn't
leave youtube much to work with. The youtube version is more pixelated
than your copy, now. Good job, stalker!

I left you a comment on it, too. You're welcome to read it. It's the
first comment I've ever left on youtube, actually. I can only wonder
what reason you had for attempting to edit the video, though...Would
you like to share your reason with me?

While you're at it, would you like to share your reason for having
tried to recruit me to hack web forums for you in the first place,
David? You aren't the nice guy you want others to think of you as. You
abuse people and their things. And you solicit the help of others to
assist you in doing it, and, when they won't (like myself) you attack
them, and stalk them. Nobody need take my word for it, your own words
confirm it, Right here:

http://bughunter.it-mate.co.uk/bdemail1.zip

A complete, unedited copy of our entire email correspondence before you
decided to stalk me and try to place my family in harms way, because I
refused to do malicious things to others for your benefit.

Why would I give you access to the original video file when you've
abused the low grade copy you already have in such a manner, David?
It's obvious you aren't trustworthy. So, what possible benefit would it
provide me to explain how to unlock and unzip the original file for
you?

Anyone who hasn't already read the email archive should do so, to
familiarize themselves with how you really are. You can't hide what a
serious stalking, pile of shit you are.

The reason we (You and I) have a problem is directly because I
wouldn't do you a couple of favors which would have resulted in you
being able to stalk more people you have some issue with. That's
covered in the email archive freely available via the link above,
too. I'll gladly take whatever abuse you think you can send my way for
my refusal to help you cause strife for others who might not otherwise
be able to hold their own. I'll happily be the firewall on this one.

and it should be noted that for over a year you ran mouth that
if you was ever near him you would beat him.

Then one day you posted you were with in walking distance of his home

Then you turned tail and went home without ever a knock on the door.
