Adobe cs3 and lightroom

Hi,
Are there any MB users who can let me know if these apps run well on a 2.2 with 2mb of ram, macbook. I am a photographer who is looking to go apple and for the sort of work it will be needed for the size of the MB suits my needs rather than a MBP. Any help would be great.

My partner runs phtoshop cs3 and lightroom on a 1st gen cor duo macbook with 2mb of ram, the images take a second or two to sharpen when you open RAW images, other than that everything works pretty well, if you are buying a new one you shouldn't have any problems, go for it, you wont be disappointed.

I have Adobe CS3 and I noticed that my AdobeUpdater.cer is out of date...

I have Adobe CS3 and I noticed that my AdobeUpdater.cer is out of date now that October 2011 has passed. Can this file be updated and released? How can I update my software automatically?

There have been no CS3 updates for several years.

Will Adobe CS3 and earlier run on 10.8

Will versions of Adobe CS3, and other programs run on X10.8? Also, do I need to upgrade to 10.7 before 10.8? I am currently running 10.6.8.

Photoshop CS3 system requirements
Mac OS
PowerPC G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor
Mac OS X v10.4.8-10.5 (Leopard)
512 MB of RAM
64 MB of video RAM

I think your CS3 is just to old. I upgraded mine to be compatible with OS 8. (I agree with skipping OS 7)

Canon 5D Mark II, Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 2.4

All,
I know that this has to have been answered elsewhere, but I have not found what I'm looking for.
I have purchased a new Canon 5D Mark II camera which will arrive Wednesday. As far as software on my Mac Pro, I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium, which includes (obviously) Photoshop CS3. I am also running Lightroom 2.4. I am under the understanding that in order to open RAW files from the 5D Mark II, you need to have Adobe Camera Raw 5.X, which is not supported by Photoshop CS3. I also understand that Lightroom 2.4 CAN open the 5D Mark II RAW files. First off, are both of my statements to this point accurate? If so, can I use Lightroom to open the RAW files, do whatever adjusting I would like in Lightroom, then export the modified file (in TIFF, for example) to Photoshop CS3, and go on my way? Or will this not work?
If the answer is no, what are my options for using the software that I have with my Canon 5D Mark II? Am I REQUIRED, now, to upgrade to Photoshop CS4? If so, can I buy the CS4 Upgrade for Design Premium, if my CS3 Design Premium is the Education version?
Thanks for any help on this...I'm hoping to avoid spending any more money than I need to in software just to be able to process images from my new camera. I'm sure I could always use the Canon supplied software to open the RAW files, but I'd prefer to do so in the Adobe family of programs.

cabasner,
I upgraded to CS4 when I got my 5D2, and I can't stress enough how much better CS4 is. It's worth the upgrade even if you didn't get the 5D2. It's more stable that CS3, and ACR is insanely better (as is the Bridge... that's actually usable now!). ACR in CS4 has Adjustment brushes for Exposure... that's right, touch-up areas in ACR and it's totally non-destructive. Vibrance has been added also. In PS, your Dodge & Burn tools have a totally new algorithm which works so much better it's nuts. You even have a Legacy checkbox to see the difference. With the insane amount of image data in the 5D2, those tools work very well. You also have OpenGL support in CS4 now, which means you can view the image at any percentage and it looks like 25/50/75/100. And since your graphics card is now used, Photoshop CS4 is FASTER. And with the Clone Tool you can see what will be put down on the image inside the tool's circle, BEFORE you press the mouse. Talk about an easy way to line up the edit! Oh, then there's all the Adjustment layers... man, talk about a non-destructive time-saving edit! And the panels now stay off to the side, not covering up the image anymore. There's more, I'm, not even remembering everything. Adobe got PS right with this version. I would spring for CS4 in a New York minute, it's the perfect partner for our 5D2s.

Can I install Adobe CS3, and upgrade all the way through to CS5.5 on Lion?

Hi,
I have registered Adobe Suite products since CS3 (DVDs) and been incrementally upgrading to CS5.5 on my Macbook Pro late 2008.
I recently bought a Mac Mini Server and I was wondering if I will be able to install my Adobe CS3 (imaged disks or external super drive) then run all my upgrades (see below) all the way through CS5.5 without any issues.
1) Master Collection CS3 DVDs
2) Design Premium CS4 DVDs
3) Design Premium CS5 Download
4) Design Premium CS5.5 Download
I have read somewhere that I could perhaps skip the 2 older CSx, and instead, just install my CS5 from download and enter the earlier serial numbers (CS3 + CS4) requested. But until I receive the Mac Mini with Lion, I cannot try this and confirm if this actually works.
Has anyone performed a similar installation on their Lion OS?
Thank you.

I have Adobe photoshop and Lightroom CC installed on my imac computer. (Subscription) How do i get it installed and activated on my macbook pro as well? I believe the licence allows that.

How do I install PS CC and Lightroom CC on my Macbook Pro? I already have the subscription on my iMac. The links only take me to trial versions.

download the cc desktop app to your mac, https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud

Why does Adobe Bridge and Lightroom not recognise some jpeg files?

I am trying to use Adobe Bridge and/or Lightroom to add tags to a large number of images that I have. However when adding images, almost 1000 of the 6900 images fail to import to the Lightroom gallery and the same images do not preview and will not let me edit their metadata in Bridge.
If this has happened to anybody else I would greatly appreciate some help.
Alternatively if anybody knows of other programs i can use to easily add tags to many many images please let me know =)

Adobe CS3 and MacBook Pro: any problems?

i am about to purchase a new 15" macbook pro and adobe cs3.
has anyone experienced problems or issues with cs3 running on their macbook pro?
thanks!

Hi,
I have purchased CS3 and I have a G5 Tower and a MBP dual 2 core (bought it 2 months ago)
Let me tell you that I am very unpleased with CS3 on both machines.
On the G5 it is 10 times slower than CS1 for some reason it takes a lot of processing power and RAM wich the G5 does poorly.
On the MBP it processes fine but I only have 1 Gig of RAM and I feel that I don't have enough. Plus it doesn't help that a laptop HD is slower at opening files so it really makes it look like it runs slow...I should of bought the 24in imac instead due to the fact that it doesn't cost 900$ to buy a extra 2 Gigs of RAM
and the HD is faster

Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom print discrepancies

Hello,
I am having an issue with printing from Lightroom. I have a profile for my printer/driver/inkset that I have used successfully with Photoshop. When I print an image in Lightroom with the "profile manages" using this profile with the same driver, the image is dark. the exact same image exported from Lightroom to Photoshop prints beautifully with the same driver/paper/inkset.
I have double and triple-checked my driver and lightroom print settings but cannot find anything that appears out of whack. I use a saved pre-set to ensure that my printer driver settings are identical each time.
Does anyone have any ideas?
thank you,
George Pappas

Thanks for the additional information, Andre. Your symptions seem to point to the same underlying cause of the problem that I have experienced even though your particulars are different.
I have been quiet on this issue becuase I have been involved in a "deep dive" through the problem with Adobe Technical support and by trying to make sense of the other causes/effects/workarounds found by members of the Lightroom and other forums. For now, I do not have a solution yet, but hope to have more tangible information and a solution to post within a couple of weeks.
I have been through four tech support interactions with Adobe and one from Canon. Unfortunately, these calls were less than satisfactory. While the people on the phone were nice, there very unhelpful and primarily engaged in "pass the buck" behavior by claiming the problem was somewhere else. The last support call with Adobe lasted 40 minutes with a very nice fellow who gave me USELESS feedback and directed me to a knowledgebase article that had nothing to do with my real problem.
Let me be clear, I am a 20+ year software industry veteran and understand the complexities of this stuff. It is obvious that Adobe and Canon cannot put fully qualifed (and expensive) people on the first point-of-contact for support issues. However, they should have a reasonable escalation procedure that routes a problem of appropriate complexity to a highly qualifed person after a reasonable number of support attempts are unsuccessful in solving the issue. So far, this has not happened and is very frustrating to me.
Here is what I know of the underlying cause of the issue thus far. It appears to be caused by the interaction between Lightroom, the operating system's color management, and the printer driver. In essence, each of us are getting prints that are "double" or "triple" color managed even though we are trying to select one color managment workflow for our output.
Photoshop/InDesign and other adobe applications use their own color management engine called ACE. Lightroom does things differently and uses the computer's operating system CM functions. I believe this why my prints continue to look good when printed out of Photoshop yet look lousy (too dark) when printed from Lightroom. Lightroom is making assumptions when it sends a print data stream to a printer driver that doesn't yield the same result becuase each operating system performs color management tasks somewhat differently and print drivers from Canon/Epson/HP also do not use the operating systems CM functions the same way. For Mac users, if you add the printing engine architecture change from of Mac O/S 10.4 to Mac O/S 10.5 you throw an additional level of change into the equation which is not helpful.
So, where does that leave all of us who have this problem? I believe that for a given print driver/profile/operating system, Adobe will need to provide us with a workaround that will result in quality prints. To do this means that someone in Adobe who has the knowledge has to put together a specific recipe of options that work for the major printer manufacturers/OS's/printers. The long run solution will, unfortunately, occur over time as Adobe modifies how Lightroom makes certain assumptions when it sends print data streams to printer drivers and printer manufacturers will update their printer drivers to be more bulletproof regarding operating system color managment differences.
Sorry for the long-winded message. Unfortunately, this is one of those seemingly simple problems that has a lot of underlying complexity and does not yield a "one size fits all" solution. I will keep this group updated on what I learn as I work with Adobe.
Best,
George

Adobe CS3 and Mac Pro

For professionals using Adobe CS3 on Mac Pro about how much RAM is needed to run all 6 programs together efficantly? I'm looking into upgrades and really need some advice- Any out there to give?
Thanks,
Port

It depends. If you work with files greater than 1GB, almost as much RAM as you want/need (8GB would be good).
What do you have now?
Are you use to using a large fast scratch RAID to help?
The more programs running (and not just CS3 but others as well) the more the merrier.
Same applies to whether you want 2.66 or 3.0 or 8-core model.
Have you read up on Barefeats test results?

Can anyone recommend a process for moving just my OS and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to the SSD?

I have an early 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. I just removed the superdrive and added an SSD. I want to use it to boot from and also run Photoshop and Lightroom from. Can anyone recommend a process for moving my OS and those programs to the SSD?

I'm assuming your doing this because of data you don't want pernament on the SSD as they can' be scrubbed like hard drives can.
Disconnect any other drives.
1: Format the SSD 1 partition, click the box, option GUID and OS X extended journaled as the format.
2: Download Carbon Copy Cloner.
3: Clone your MacintoshHD partition to a blank powered external drive also formatted the same as above.
4: Hold option/alt key and boot the machine (wired or built in keyboard) and then select the clone to boot from,
5: Once in the clone, click it's drive name and change the name if it's the same as the OS X boot volume.
6: On the clone, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new Admin account.
7: If you need to move files between accounts on the clone, see this. Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine (be careful that your selecting the correct clones other account)
8: Once your moving files on the clone is complete, then log into the new user account and delete the old user account.
9: Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the clone to the SSD.
10: Use Disk Utiltiy to repair permissions on all drives.
The SSD should be moved to the HD slot and the HD to the optical slot and used as a file drive.
CCC has a option to not include certain folders like the other user account you don't want, however I tend not to recommend things that are not too far out of line with Apple's ways of doing things as it usually results in bad things occuring. Somewhere in OS X it's recorded of that other user account, so it might still show up in logins and such.
Also you may want to transfer some files to the other account, so that's why I recommend this method.
Good Luck

Processing Canon G10 RAW Images in CS3 and Lightroom 2.1

I've not found a post on point. If I've missed one, sorry.
Contemplating getting a G10. After research here's what I understand. Please, correct me if I am wrong:
1. To process a G10 image in ACR, one has to have 5.2. One cannot use 5.2 in CS3. To process the image in CS3 one has to first convert to DNG. This can be done by way of a separate converter OR in Lightroom 2.1, on import.
2. Lightroom 2.1 will process the image in either RAW or DNG formats.
So, since I own both Lightroom and CS3 -- I will be able to use ACR in Lightroom if I don't want to convert to DNG first.
Am I right?
I don't want to buy the camera if I can't use my usual workflow.
Thanks.
sjh
PS. I think my CS4 Master Suite will arrive tomorrow. But, there is a lot of odd information about ACR and the G10 out there so I thought I'd take the time to clear it up and see if I got it right.

Lightroom 2.1 does NOT support native files from the G10. LR 2.2, which will be released in December will. So for both programs you need to use the Adobe DNG converter 5.2 to convert to DNG for the time being. It is unclear whether when you have LR 2.2 and CS3 installed whether "Edit in Photoshop" will work correctly with files from cameras such as the G10. It will always work fine if you use dng.

Adobe CS3 and CS4 updater under Snow Leopard issues

Hey everyone -Ive been trying to research this and I have CS4 and CS3 (just photoshop installed) under snow leopard -(clean install) and when I launch the adobe updater on CS3 it just crashes-and on CS4 the updater runs but finds no updates and I know they are out there.
This is all I could find on Adobes Forumns
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2349031#2349031
They talk about changing the permissions of the admin group but you have to be careful or you will mess your machine up -I dont wanna do that.
Is anyone having this problem? Or can anyone help
Matt

You might try creating another user account (testUser) and seeing if those installers will function properly there, under a clean account...
