Photoshop CS2 denying administrative privileges

Posted onAuthorTips Of Tech3 Comments

I haven’t shared the How to tip, here for quite a while. But as an adobe CS2 user for ages (and happy with it) I have to share my frustration with getting cs2 to run on Windows 7.

I tried forums, I tried calling Adobe. I tried all that I can think of (below is the fix). In the end, when I figured out the solution, Adobe told me “We no longer support this product so we will not bother with this tip” (actually paraphrased, not a real quote).

Hope this helps you With your Photoshop Error Message.

Photoshop CS2 denying administrative privileges

You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper privileges.
I have just installed Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my Windows 7 Pro 64 Laptop.

When I try to run Adobe CS2, I get a message in a window titled “Adobe Activation” saying: “You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper privileges. Please log in using an account with administrator privileges and try again.”

I am logged in as an administrator and have installed all my applications using the same login. Though the version I have installed is not yet registered, I am unable to even get to the registration screen as once you click OK on the dialogue, Adobe Photoshop closes.

Here is a fix:

Open windows explorer and go to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2” directory; Find the Photoshop.exe and right click on the highlighted file name and Left click on Properties. Click on the top Compatibility tab. Under Compatibility check the box to “Run this program in Compatibility mode for” Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and click OK. Double click and Open the Adobe Photoshop shortcut. skip registration for now. Proceed with registration. Adobe updater will come up with an error but the software will run fine.

 

Fun With Photoshop GTA V

Fun With Photoshop GTA V
The gang at the GTA Forums have put together a compilation of GTAV screenshots that are Photoshopped. Thanks to oysterbarron and his efforts to get all of the images into multiple videos for our enjoyment.
Watch for the Credits :-) I hit the credits I think twice.

The fifth video

There are a lot of pictures that did not make the list, so I do advise you go see the GTA Forums thread first hand and see the rest of the pictures. Some lead to other picture ideas and you won’t get the whole joke unless you visit the site. but the videos are still funny anyway :-).

Gimp Vs Adobe PhotoShop poll

Posted onAuthorTruXter

This is to collect data and show in a later post about image editing software.
This is between Gimp GNU Image Manipulation Program and Adobe Photoshop
I have both installed on my computer at work. And I use both Gimp and Photoshop.
but I use one way more than the other. There is a debate between myself and the head IT guy
about which one has better tools, which one is more reliable and which one has better resolution images.
I say it’s all about the user.

This is not a comparison. This is a Poll to see what gets used more.
Not what you think is better between photoshop vs gimp
but what you use more. Photoshop or Gimp.
[poll id=”6″]

This one is is again not about what is better.
This gimp vs photoshop poll is about which one has more tools
addons that you get online and tools that are bundled with the image editing tool all count.
[poll id=”7″]

This one is about Quality
Which one produces better looking images
Gimp or photoshop
[poll id=”8″]

Finally, which one is more reliable
Which one crashes the least, hangs up the least and starts the fastest between Gimp and Photoshop
[poll id=”9″]
