Adobe Photoshop CS & CS3 upgrade issues

I have recently obtained an original disc of adobe photoshop CS and an original disc of adobe photoshop CS3 upgrade to install on my Imac which is running lion at the moment, only to be told that power pc programmes are no longer recognised. I was intending to install the  original Photoshop CS and then upgrade it to CS3, however due to this issue i cant install the original disc.
I have read that if i revert back to snow leopard then i would be able to install these programms without issue, but the question is then if i then update the OS system to lion, would the updated version of photoshop CS3 still work, being on the back of CS? or would it stop working?
If this updated programme does not work, am i better having a partitioned disc just to run snow leopard and to use photoshop, and if this is the case would i be able to access all saved images and files when running the lion side of the partition in order to sync these with i cloud and my ipad?
regards

The bootable Snow Leopard partition is the way I would do it.
Borrowed from Kappy,
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting is complete quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard being sure to select the external drive as the target.
Note that you will need a Snow Leopard DVD. The above will only work for you if you can boot your computer from a Snow Leopard DVD. If you have a new model that came with Lion pre-installed then the above will not work because a Snow Leopard retail DVD cannot boot your model.
Then install your CS and CS3 and run them in SL. If the images are stored in a seperate drive/partition then it should work seamlessly.

  • Photoshop 7 - CS3 Clipboard Issue

    I have been having this problem with Photoshop 7.0 for a while, where I cannot paste from "Windows" to Photoshop. I often use print screen, and while Paint can paste the screenshot no problem, Photoshop does nothing.
    I found a solution that said to apply a registry edit to add:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0]
    AlwaysImportClipboard=dword:00000001
    I did that and the clipboard did not seem to work. The only time it does work, is sometimes after a fresh restart when PS is first opened. Any time after that the clipboard feature is inoperable.
    I finally decided to upgrade to CS3 and was upset to learn that it has the same problem. I applied the registry patch to this install too:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\10.0]
    AlwaysImportClipboard=dword:00000001
    But it still doesnt work. I've seen people complaining about this in forums since 2006. Are you telling me that Adobe has released 3 new PS versions since 7.0 there is still no fix?\
    I hope someone here can help me out.

    Bill:
    Thanks for the ideas.
    >Jon, how are your systems configured and how is the RAM populated? What are the Virtual Memory settings in your two OS configs? What are your memory allocation settings for Photoshop and what are your Scratch Disk allocations?
    Both systems use DDR400 RAM and both have 1GB each. My virtual memory is system managed on both machines. I'm not sure of my PS memory allocation settings or Scratch Disk Allocations. I can say I have not modified any of these settings from the defaults.
    >Do you normally work with other programs open (though maybe minimized), or is PS the only launched program, when this happens?
    Generally PS is the only program open (aside from running processes, taskbar items, etc.), and perhaps Internet Explorer or Firefox (where I'm usually taking my screenshots).

    >Have you received any memory related error messages, maybe during shutdown, or with any programs? Have you searched your Event Viewer for any warnings, in either Applications, or in System?
    No memory related errors at all. Both computers have been running fine, with no problems (besides this PS issue).
    >End result is that something is getting in the way of either the data being written TO the Clipboard (is it there, and just not accessible by PS?), or when getting those data OUT of Clipboard, by PS (is that the ONLY app that cannot get it out?). Does the workaround of using MS Paint always work, and with PS not?
    The MS Paint clipboard/paste workaround always works, with no problem. The PS clipboard paste feature almost never works anymore, and when it does, it's usually only after reboot.

  • Adobe After Effects CS3 upgrade doesn't show as product purchased on "My Products and Services" page

    Hi,
    I have purchased both Adobe Photoshop 6.00, a upgrade from it to Photoshop CS2, Adobe After Effects 8, and a upgrade from it to After Effects C3.  The Adobe Photoshop 6.00 shows up with its corresponding serial numberand the Photoshop CS2 upgrade shows up separtely with its serial number.  After Effects shows up as version 8 but has the serial number from the CS3 product and there is only one entry for it. 
    Did I lose my After Effects CS3 upgrade when I used it to get the discount for the Creative Cloud and that is why it is showing up as version 8?
    Thanks, Ron

    Thank you. 
    I should have looked at my old version's box and I would have relized that. So, there is no loss of ownership or anything of that nature in using Adobe After Effects CS3 for the Adobe Cloud discount?  I would be free to even sell it?
    Thanks, Ron

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Upgrade Edition

    Just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 10/Premiere Elements 10 upgrade edition from Amazon.  Installed both and no where did it ask to confirm I had the older versions.   I previously have had Adobe Photoshop Elements 9,8,7,6 and Adobe Photoshop Preimiere Elements 4.
    When I logged into my account did it automatically validate I owned an older version?  I just want to make sure it registered correctly.

      Yes it will be automatic. If you click on My Adobe at the top of this forum you should be able to see all of your registered products and serial numbers.
     

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor Issue

    Have downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the Mac App Store onto my Mac Book Pro, set iPhoto preferences to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor, but when trying to open a file from my iPhoto library, the following message appears: "unable to complete your request because of a program error". What can I do to resolve this issue?

    Are you able to edit an image file that's not in the iPhoto library with PSE 10?
    Also the followinjg has some tips on configuring PSE for use inside iPhoto that you may or may not know about:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9/10 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 100% Zoom Issue

    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Version 13.0.6 x64
    OS X Yosemite Version 10.10
    100% Zoom is very tiny on my screen. How do I fix?

    An Images dpi setting has nothing to do with it.  Its all about the number of pixels you have.    Image for the web have fewer pixels.  It does not matter it you set the image DPI resolution is 72, 300 or any other value when you don't resample the number of pixels remain the same.  When you display actual pixels 100% zoom an image with 10K pixels with a 300dpi is the same 10K pixel image with a 72dpi resolution setting.  Printers will use the images dpi setting to adjust pixel size.  Displays do not they are run at their native DPI resolution whatever that is.  So a 10K pixel image with a 72DPI setting and a 10K pixels image with a 300DPI setting will be displayed as a 10K pixel image at the displays dpi resolution.
    DPI defines Pixel size pixel density  300DPI means 90000 square pixels per inch  so the pixel size would be 1/300" x 1/300".  72DPI means 5184 pixels per square inch so pixel size is 1/72" x 1/72"
    So if you have an image with 7200px x 7200px and set the dpi tp 72DPI and print it will print 100" x 100" do know of a printer the cal handle 100" paper
    So if you have an image with 7200px x 7200px and set the dpi tp 300DPI and print it will print 24" x 24" you need a large form printer that can handle 24" wide paper
    This image can not be displayed on a display zoomed to 100% only part of the image will fit you will need to scroll about the image. Unless you have a 34" display with a square aspect ratio with a 300DPI native resolution that I don't know about.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 activation issue on MAC running Parallels Desktop for Windows 7

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop running both OSX and Windows 7 (using Parallels Desktop). I installed the MAC version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 when I booted in the MAC OSX mode. I also Installed Adobe Photoshop 10 in the Windows 7 mode (running as a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop). Both programs indicate that they are activated. If I boot the computer in the Windows 7 mode (not using Parallels Desktop) and start the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 program it indicates that it is NOT activated and that I "already have two copies activated".

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premier 10 Issues

    I purchased Adobe Premier 10 and PhotoshopElements 10 in March of this year 2012. I have registered it with Adobe the day I purchased. I have upgraded my computer as my other has stopped working. I transfered what I could from the hard drive. I have also lost my disk for installation. Can I have one sent from Adobe or can I download it? Adobe upgraded from version 10 to version 11 within a few months of my purchase and feel their should be some way I can download it from adobe and just apply my stored and registered codes. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide! Have a good evening and thanks!
