Using Photoshop CS4 Droplets Under Windows 7 64 Bit

by hm 7. May 2010 23:10

Today I wanted to automate some image processing steps requiring the use of a photoshop action. Therefore I created a Adobe Photoshop CS4 droplet to be called by the Lightroom 3 Beta 2 Export.

But regardless how I changed my Photoshop action (and regenerated the droplet) nothing visible happened (Photoshop opened but nothing more). After I read on the web that at least one other poor soul has had the same problem I took the possiblity into account that it could be a compatibilty problem with my Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.

Well, after changing the compatiblity settings for the droplet exe to Windows XP SP3 and checking "Execute as Administrator" the droplet was suddenly useable.

 

PS: Installed Adobe Photoshop CS5 yesterday so hopefully this problem is one of the past for me ... ;)
