Photoshop cs3 extended upgrade to cs4 (non extended)?

First of all, is it possible for me to upgrade my cs3 extended version of photoshop to cs4? I have other programs from adobe on here such as dreamweaver, indesign and illustrator, so do I have to upgrade the whole suite or can I just upgrade the one program that I actually use? And lastly, I bought my computer from a friend who already installed all the programs on it so I don't know whether or not it is registered. Would this be a problem when it comes down to actually installing an upgrade?
Sorry, I'm just getting into all of this so I really don't know anything about the adobe products on my computer. Thanks in advance to all who can help me

okay update... I am speaking to a customer service rep to get the special unlock code that everyone is talking about and he is saying that it is not possible to upgrade just one product within a suite. How is everyone else doing it?

  • Uninstall Photoshop CS3 after Upgrading to CS4?

    I am a late up-grader to Photoshop CS4 (new camera) and I would like to reclaim the gigabyte of space occupied by CS3 and associated files. Is it safe to simply use the uninstaller for CS3? Thanks for the help!
    Jeff

    I just did exactly, that.  I installed Photoshop CS4, actually, the entire CS4 master Suite.  Then a few weeks after having used CS4 without any glitches I went through and deleted anything related to CS3 in all the various preferences and Application Support folders and it has been working great since.
    I did have some droplets, plug-ins and other items from CS3 that I still needed to use in CS4 so I moved them from the old CS3 folder to the corresponding new CS4 folder. Everything worker very easily and without any problems whatsoever..
    I think it would be very safe to use the uninstaller for CS3.  However, be aware that if you have an upgrade version of CS4, it will upgrade the existing CS3 and will not be able to do so if it is uninstalled.  I was working with a new full version so that was not an issue.  Sometimes you can simply put in the old CS3 serial number in order to verify ownership and sometimes you need the actual app on the HD for the upgrade.  It would be advisable to check with Adobe on this.  Or just install CS4 and then after it is verified as working, go through and delete all CS3 related files as I did.

  • Should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 non extended

    hi im just wondering should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 NON extended...... would i loose options from my extended version?
    also i dont use photoshop cs3 that much, does anyone think its worth me upgrading?
    thanks

    Good day!
    I think I read that with 2013 the upgrade path would be shortened, so you are probably not eligible for upgrading anymore.
    Apart from that the benefit of purchasing the current version of Photoshop naturally depends on what you are doing with Photoshop (both in terms of which features you use and how much you use the application overall).
    Smart Objects have been improved quite a bit, Puppet Warp is an interesting feature, Configurator allows for the easy creation of custom Panels that can combine Tools, Commands, Actions etc.,  …
    But to judge the programm yourself you could just install the trial – mind you, the trial is Photoshop Extended, so you may want to consult the Reference on which features you would not get with Potoshop Standard.
    You might also want to look into Cloud Licensing – or at least »Adobe« wants you to …

  • Upgrade Educational  Photoshop Cs3 Extended

    Hi everybody. I'm an italian student and two years ago I bought a license for Adobe Photoshop Cs3 Extended, the educational version.
    I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade my version of Adobe Photoshop Cs3 to the educational version of Adobe Photoshop Cs5 Extended.
    Many thanks,
    Daniele Nazzari

    I was wondering that myself. I don't think you can; at least I can't find the option in the education store. I think you will need to buy the new version, which as far as I can see is priced for students at exactly the price the upgrade would be for non educational users. So if you are in education you pay the normal upgrade price, but for the whole programme. I suppose if they offered the upgrade at the educational discount they would be giving it away for next to nothing.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended upgrade to CS5?

    Tried asking the online chat to answer this simple question . . .  the person really didn't understand what I was asking.
    So here it goes, the complex question of —
    Will a regular CS5 upgrade work for a CS3 Photoshop Extended version or not?

    Mylenium,
    It was purchased from a big box store the US (years ago) and has a sticker on it saying "Only for distribution in North America."
    It is for use in America, and so is my SC3 Extended version currently installed on my computer.
    Both versions are for the Mac OS.
    The system requirements are not of importance since my computer meets them all. The upgrade box says nothing about "CS3 or up."
    The only mention of an upgrade on the entire box is on the side stating — "UPGRADE from an relier version. To install this upgrade version, you must have an eligible earlier version of this product. Before opening this package, check with your reseller about its return policy and your upgrade eligibility, or visit www.adobe.com/go/upgradeinfo for eligibility information."
    So, here I am, trying a webpage that doesn't exist anymore and trying to find answers here . . . . .
    Will this normal, regular, run-of-the-mill CS5 Photoshop upgrade work on a CS3 Extended version?
    Is Photoshop CS3 Extended an "eligible earlier version of this product" for the CS5 upgrade?

  • Upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs5 photoshop

    I am trying to upgrade from Adobe photoshop cs3 extended to Adobe photoshop cs5

    Can someone please help me!!
    Thank you,

    Contact Adobe Support.   The Software disk may not need to be returned.  You might be able to simply purchase the proper license and perhaps pay the difference in cost -- they can tell you the options.  I believe that there is an upgrade path from academic software to a regular license.

  • Does Photoshop CS3 Extended support Thai fonts?

    I am translating some short text in Photoshop to several Asian languages. I noticed just with the Thai language, that I get a series of X's with boxes instead of Thai characters. The characters are fine in other applications, including Flash CS3. Other than taking a screenshot in another app and pasting into Photoshop, does anyone know of a workaround? Should I install a particular Thai font that is supported by Photoshop? I am running Photoshop CS3 Extended on Windows XP. Thanks for any help.

    So in my search, the only thing I found was a utility downloadable at CNET http://download.cnet.com/ASK-Square-Free-Version/3000-2316_4-10855142.html
    "ASK Square works efficiently with well-known graphic software such as Adobe Photoshop 7, CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4. It enables users to use of all Thai characters. Users can type all Thai characters, even troublesome characters like. This software also corrects excessively high vowels while typing or after typing just by only one click. Further more it can transform illegible font to normal font that happens when changes a texts font, to a readable normal font. If users copy texts from external application such as word processing or spreadsheet software and paste those texts into their graphic software, ASK Square software can correct the wrong-encoded texts automatically.
    ASK Square is flexible. It enable user to type Thai non-unicode font on Adobe Photoshop. Version 1.5.0.10 supports Adobe Photoshop CS4."
    Funny thing is you can tell their sales pitch was loosely translated. I gave it a try anyway. The instruction PDF was in Thai, their website was in Thai. But I felt brave anyway, seeing as I googled this application title and didn't see anything negative written about it. Then I go to the application icon in the system tray. As you can see from my screenshot, it ain't exactly user-friendly.
    Bottom line... it didn't work. Anyone out there have a solution? I've searched everywhere... Am I the only one with this problem?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - No splash screen

    I installed my licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended today as part of my install a bunch of software after a reinstall of Windows (due to viruses).  I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I've used Photoshop CS3 Extended for quite a while now so I know what to expect on startup but it was previously installed under Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Figured I would give Windows 7 a chance this time around.
    Google searches aren't turning up anything.  When I attempt to start the application, I get a window with the title "Adobe Photoshop CS3" (no "Extended" - I seem to recall the title changes later) and the toolbar appears.  However, no splash screen appears and no Product Activation wizard appears - the application simply freezes on an empty frame and a toolbar.  I've tried running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click, "Run As Administrator"), but nothing changed there.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  I tried upgrading to CS3 10.0.1.  Nothing works.  The application simply freezes before it gets anywhere.
    I tried calling Adobe Support since this technically falls under installation issues but their phone support systems are down today.  Go figure.
    Edit:  I hooked into Photoshop with the Visual Studio debugger and every single thread is executing some variation of WaitForSingleObject() or WaitForMultipleObjects().  The main thread is "executing" somewhere in AdobeLM_libFNP.dll (at address 09619d81 - if I had debugging symbols for CS3, I could provide a function).  There are nine threads "running" at the point the freeze occurs - but all of them are technically suspended due to the functions they are executing - and one thread is in a suspended state.

    And, according to the Event Viewer, the "Binary" data translates to a zero-terminated Unicode string of "Cross-thread".
    My Visual Studio analysis was far more informative.  All threads are hung inside of WaitForSingleObject() and WaitForMultipleObjects() calls and the DLL in question appears to be FlexNet-related.  I did forget to mention that I also even manually started the FlexNet service in case, for some strange reason, Photoshop was waiting for it to start.  That also did not work.
    (And there is nothing in the Action Center control panel either despite the message saying there might be more information there.)
    Edit:  The timestamp above might be a little odd-looking.  I didn't originally see anything in Event Viewer until I clicked the first button to send an Error Report.  Mostly I just skipped that part of killing a process.

  • Photoshop CS3 extended error on Installation("A Problem occurred while extracting some files....

    Hi guys. I dont know if youve experienced this but I get this error whenever I try to install Photoshop CS3 Extended. The error popup message goes like this:
    "A Problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder."
    Any idea? :(
    thanks in advanced.
    Cheers!

    Welcome to the forum.
    where is the file to download it directly?
    With CS3, there might not be one any longer. CS4 has been out for some time. You might need to contact Adobe Customer Service for resolution. I know that they offer replacement media for a small fee, but do not know how far back they go with the versions.
    For me, I always purchase the full discs, and from Adobe, so I have little experience with downloaders and with the downloadable files. Maybe someone else can offer you more direct assistance.
    Good luck,

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended won't recognize QuickTime installation

    Hi,
    using Photoshop CS3 Extended, I tried opening an animated GIF today without success. After some forum searching I found I had to import it as video into layers.
    When I tried that I got this message:
    "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because QuickTime version 7.1 or later is required."
    I have QuickTime installed, the newest version (checked for updates and found none), and it works normally. This computer is just about 2 months old, so it's not an out-of-date installation of QuickTime, either.
    I am running Windows XP Pro.
    How does Photoshop determine whether QuickTime is installed or not?
    Any other ideas?
    I'd rather avoid re-installing programs (especially QuickTime) if there's an easier fix for this.
    Thanks!

    Richard.
    There was a problem with QT 7.4 and the Digital rights Management segment that conflicted with After Effects and Premier. There was an almost immediate update from Apple to 7.4.1 (6?) which fixed this problem, there may infact have been another update since then although from memory this was just an itunes update.
    I'd update to the latest version which will more than likely fix the problems. If as you said you have the latest version then try uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it rather than using the apple updater.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended

    I have just installed Photoshop CS3 extended from my CS# Master Collection CD and I am not able to see my raw images from my Canon 40D camera. Can anyone help me with this. I have loaded the camera raw files 4.3.1 upgrade and I still can't see the images in Bridge. The error I get is Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

    So you have admin rights on the computer.
    When you installed CS3, from the CD, did you run the set up as admin? Least for Vista and Windows 7 the screen should dim and a pop up window asks you (if your logged on the computer as administrator) if you want to run the set up (or something along that nature). You choose yes and the software will run as administrator
    Also when you first ran CS3 did you open the .exe propertise, compatibility and check Rrun this program as an administrator? That has to be done too.

  • Saved images appear as 72dpi Photoshop CS3 Extended

    Hi
    Suddenly my images which have been saved at 300dpi are coming up as 72dpi when I re-open them in Photoshop CS3 Extended.
    I create a psd file at 300dpi, work on it, save it as a maximum quality jpeg/png etc, but when I open it up in Photoshop again it appears as 72dpi. Even the finished jpeg/png file sizes seem too small. I'm creating business cards and graphics for customers and I must know they are saved at 300dpi.
    Can anyone help? Do you think I may have a bug? Fairly sure it's fully updated.
    Thanks!

    One qualification is that my comments were derived from Photoshop CS4. 
    In that setup a file saved in SFW at 333 ppi and with the All meta data box checked produces a jpeg file, which when opened in Photoshop, shows the resolution (from the Image size dialog box) to be 72 ppi.
    If I then click on File > File Info > camera data it shows the resolution to be 333
    If I look at the so-called Raw data in the SFW file I indeed find the resolutions specified
    Photoshop Version difference ?  Perhaps.  Or, maybe I got one of the platinum editions   . So for CS4 I find that when I ask to have the meta data saved via SFW it seems to happen.

  • Final Cut and Photoshop CS3 extended

    I've searched google and had no luck with this whatsoever.
    I've opened an exported video sequence into Photoshop CS3 extended. (MOV, HDV 1080i60) In FCP6 the sequence had a time code of 0:02:03 whereas in Photoshop CS3 it is recognized as 0:02:02. It seems as if Photoshop is dropping a frame. Regardless, looking over my original MOV and the open Photoshop document I only have 51 total frames.
    This looks like Photoshop and FCP6 see frames differently. When I export my video from Photoshop, Quicktime sees all 51 frames still there. When I pull the video back into FCP6 the timecode for the sequence is now 0:02:02 (just like Photoshop sees it) and it drops the last frame.
    The frame is there! I can see it when I go over the video in Quicktime. For some reason FCP6 is refusing to show that last frame and will only display a timecode of 0:02:02 for that clip!
    What am I to do? How do I get FCP6 to show that last frame?
    Thanks heaps, in advance.

    "I've opened an exported video sequence into Photoshop CS3 extended. (MOV, HDV 1080i60)."
    do you mean you've imported an Image Sequence (movie exported from FCP as individual image files eg- tiffs)...
    "In FCP6 the sequence had a time code of 0:02:03 whereas in Photoshop CS3 it is recognized as 0:02:02."
    Where in Photoshop are you reading timecode??? Or are you just counting the individual images?
    "It seems as if Photoshop is dropping a frame. Regardless, looking over my original MOV and the open Photoshop document I only have 51 total frames."
    If the original movie was at 1080i60, and your clip is 02 seconds and 2 frames, that would imply you should have at least 60 images (29.97 (drop-frame?) / 30fps x 2 seconds)
    "This looks like Photoshop and FCP6 see frames differently. When I export my video from Photoshop, Quicktime sees all 51 frames still there. When I pull the video back into FCP6 the timecode for the sequence is now 0:02:02 (just like Photoshop sees it) and it drops the last frame."
    Now i'm really confused...
    "The frame is there! I can see it when I go over the video in Quicktime. For some reason FCP6 is refusing to show that last frame and will only display a timecode of 0:02:02 for that clip!"
    Yup... you got me... I have no idea... I think there is a non-dropped-frame timecode conflict in the Image Sequence(?) export from FCP and way PS is interpreting these images...
    I have the good fortune of working in PAL-land, so I'm not too knowledgeable on what i think is your problem... hopefully someone from NTSC-land will chip in and help you out.
