In x86 (32 bit) Photoshop under Image> Adjustments I can see the variations command, but not in x64 (64 bit) I’ve tried reinstalling but no dice… any ideas?

Like a lot of the beginners helpers I think it’s on the way out (since there are better ways available) and they didn’t do the 64-bit code.

They have improved the simple "Auto" adjustments, so this rather dubious feature is redundant.

The command Image->Adjustments->Variations is there in both the x64 and x32 bit versions of PS CS4 on my PC. OS is Vista Ultimate 64.

Have you tried resetting your presets–reinstalling doesn’t change the presets.

It’s gone on mine. Good riddance!

I deleted the preferences file in the appdata roaming adobe folder but it’s still not there, is there a different way to reset preferences?

Adobe thinks the variations command is in PS CS4, too, so I would assume it should be. Don’t know why it wouldn’t be in yours.

It is in the FAQ:

<http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@@.ee747eb>

but to reset the settings file you press Cntl-Shift-Alt keys immediately after double clicking on the Photoshop CS4 icon to start the program. You should get a dialog box asking if you wish to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File.

However, to use Variations you need to be in 8-bit color mode and can’t be in Lab or Indexed Color mode. If it is missing it could be because the plug-in wasn’t installed for some reason. In the x64 bit version under Vista x64 it should be in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Locales\en_US\Additional Plug-Ins\Win\Filters. The 32-bit version should be here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Locales\en_US\Additional Plug-Ins\Win\Filters.
