#37955 — Photoshop CS4 and Java SE 6 Runtime

FromRonTheGuy@null.invalid (Ron)
Date2017-04-02 15:04 -0700
SubjectPhotoshop CS4 and Java SE 6 Runtime
Message-ID<1n3v0er.1nf9pex1f1eggqN%RonTheGuy@null.invalid>
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

it's long overdue to upgrade.

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.

Thanks for all the replies. Might consider upgrading to CC, but don't
like the subscription model...

then get photoshop elements, which likely does more than you need,
particularly if you're still using cs4.

Or Affinity Photo, or Pixelmator, assuming the feature set matches your
needs.

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.

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that

This subscriber continues his breathtaking insensitivity towards other 
people. He would be a shoo in for a place on Donald Trump's team.

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.

and the adobe route, photoshop elements, which for a non-pro user is
more than adequate.

plenty of options.

Yep! If I absolutely had to have Photoshop features, and wanted the
software to run indefinitely without a subscription or connection to a
server, I'd go for Photoshop Elements.

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.

<https://macphun.com/luminar>
<https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/photo/>
<http://www.pixelmator.com>
<https://www.alienskin.com/exposure/>
<https://www.on1.com/products/photo-raw/>

BTW: A computer with Adobe CC installed only has to be connected to the 
internet once a month, and it will function just fine off line.

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
inevitable), that software will cease to function. #nothanks

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.

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.
