ADOBE® PHOTOSHOP® CS AND IMAGEREADY® CS READ ME

This file contains last-minute product information and troubleshooting tips. Please refer to
the User Guide or the HowToInstall document for installation instructions. For further
troubleshooting and performance information, see the User Guide or online Help.

If you acquired Photoshop as part of an Adobe Creative Suite, you will find the Photoshop
Goodies folder on one of your Content CD's. If you acquired Photoshop as an Electronic
Software Download (ESD), you will not have a CD-ROM, but the folder structure created on
your hard drive after decompressing your download will contain a Goodies folder and other
folders described in this document. Also, certain instructions in this document may be
slightly different for you, such as Serial Number information. Please refer to your Creative
Suite ReadMe, or the e-mail confirmation you received when you purchased the ESD version
for the latest information.

Please notice that Photoshop CS requires Mac OSX 10.2.4 or later.

Important: Please register your copy of Photoshop online at the end of the installation
process, or by accessing the Registration item under the Help menu. You can also complete
your registration card and mail it today. You must register to receive technical support and
important product update information.

Serial Numbers

You can find the 24-digit serial number (e.g. 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000) on the back
cover of your CD holder. (ESD customers will find the serial number both on the receipt
page from the online store, and in the e-mail confirmation you received.) You will be asked
for this number when installing Photoshop.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Photoshop, you will need to use the new 24-
digit serial number that came with your new Photoshop CS product. The serial number you
used to install previous versions of Photoshop will not work to install Photoshop CS.

If you are upgrading from a version of Photoshop prior to Photoshop 5.0, you will need to
contact customer service at 800-492-3623.

If you have purchased Photoshop CS and previously owned Photoshop LE, Adobe®
PhotoDeluxe®, or Photoshop® Elements®, please use the serial number that came with your
Photoshop CS product.

If your new 24-digit serial number does not work please contact Adobe Systems at 800-492-
3623.

Optional Extensions and Plug-ins

Several optional plug-ins and extensions are included in Goodies/Optional Plug-Ins. Included
in this folder are some additional file format and export plug-ins as well as filter plug-ins.

Several extensions are included in Goodies/Optional Plug-Ins/Photoshop Only/Optional

Extensions. These extensions let you customize and enhance the Photoshop program in a
variety of ways. For more information, see the ReadMe files included with the optional
extensions.

It is not recommended that you set your Additional Plug-Ins Folder preferences to use your
Photoshop 7.0 or earlier plug-ins with Photoshop CS. You will receive error messages if you
do this.

Using Third Party Plug-ins

Plug-ins must be updated by their developers in order to work with Photoshop on Mac OSX.
Plug-ins written for Mac OS 9 or earlier will not work in Photoshop CS. Please contact the
third-party developer for a version of the plug-in compatible with Photoshop CS.

Improving Performance and Troubleshooting
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following sections provide some tips on improving performance with Photoshop, as well
as other useful information. You can find additional information in the User Guide and in
online help. For up to date information on optimizing Photoshop performance, refer to the
document, "Optimizing Performance in Photoshop for Mac OS", available online at
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/c9ba.htm.

Online Help

You will need to have Safari 1.0, or Internet Explorer 5.1 or higher installed to be able to
access and use the Photoshop Online Help.

You will not be able to use Netscape as your default browser when using Online Help.

Fonts and Application Startup Time

Upon startup, Photoshop must enumerate all of the fonts that will be available for the Type
tools. If you have a large number of fonts installed on your system, this can cause Photoshop
to take longer to start up. If you find the startup time for Photoshop to be too long, you
should remove any unused fonts from your system.

Changing the Plug-ins Folder and/or Scratch Disk at Launch Time

If you hold down the Command and Shift keys at launch time, the Additional Plug-Ins Folder
dialog will appear. You can choose an additional folder from which Photoshop will load plug-
ins. If you hold down the Command and Options keys at launch time the Scratch Disk
Preferences dialog will appear. You can choose to change your scratch disk preferences
using this dialog.

Resetting Preferences at Launch Time

If you would like to reset all of your Photoshop preferences, simultaneously hold down the
Command + Option + Shift keys as you launch the application.

Adobe Save for Web Preferences

Photoshop retains its Save for Web settings in the Adobe Save for Web 8.0 Prefs file, located
in the Preferences folder in the Library/Preferences folder in your home directory on Mac OS
X. To restore Save for Web to its default settings, quit Photoshop, rename the file or move it
to the Trash, and restart Photoshop.

Installing Photoshop from a Network File Server

A change has been made to the Photoshop installer, which now uses Mac OS X Authorization
Services for user authentication. This change allows the installer to install files in the proper
location with the proper permissions. This new installer may not work correctly from a
network file server, however.

For those users who access their Photoshop installer from a network server, the solution is to
copy the installer to the local machine, or to change the permissions on the server so that
the group "everyone" can read the server volume in question. Contact your IS manager
about making this change to your servers.

Working with the History Log

You can now choose to save a History Log of your work in Photoshop by turning it on in the
General Preferences. If you choose to save your log items to the file's Metadata, be aware
that the log will not be saved with files saved in JPEG format due to a limit on the amount of
text that can be saved in JPEG's File Info fields. (This limitation does not apply to files saved
in the JPEG 2000 format.)

---------------------------------
Scripting Photoshop
---------------------------------

Scripting Support is now built into Photoshop. You no longer need to download or install a
separate plug-in. Scripts can be written in AppleScript or JavaScript on the Apple®
Macintosh®.

Scripts let you automate operations in Photoshop. They can range from simple manipulation
of a single selected object to complex control of multiple documents. You can even create
workflows across multiple applications. Check out the built-in scripts, or load your own by
choosing File > Scripts in Photoshop.

Please see the scripting and language reference guides on your Photoshop CD-ROM, or in
the Scripting Guide folder installed with Photoshop.

---------------------------------
Compatibility Issues
---------------------------------

Large File Printing Limitations

Photoshop CS can now create and open documents as large as 300,000 x 300,000 pixels.
Due to various OS and printer driver limitations, Photoshop can only print documents up to
30,000 x 30,000 pixels. When working with documents larger than 30,000 pixels in either
direction, the Print menu item will be disabled. For more information on this issue, see the
tech note "Print command is unavailable for documents larger than 30,000 pixels
(Photoshop CS)". Visit http://www.adobe.com/support/main.html and select the Support
Knowledge Base link to view the tech note in the top issue section for Photoshop CS.

Text Positioning

Due to a minor change in the way the Photoshop CS text engine renders certain text blocks,
opening documents created in earlier versions of Photoshop may change the position of a
text block. This specifically affects text blocks with hanging carriage returns, but may affect
others as well.
PDF Presentation

Adobe® Reader® 6.0 or later is required to view transitions in PDF Presentation files created
using Photoshop CS.

Graphics Card Issues

A variety of graphics card drivers may provide intermittent cursor display problems. These
problems can include flickering cursors, on-screen artifacts, and cursors that don't
immediately update when a new tool or cursor type is chosen. None of these display issues
will affect the functionality of Photoshop or ImageReady. If you are experiencing any of
these problems with your own graphics card, ensure that you have the latest driver for the
card.

Printing Using LPR

If you are printing to a printer connected through LPR on Mac OS X, ensure the Encoding
setting in the Photoshop print options is set to "ASCII."
