Adobe Photoshop CS3 One on One

I am trying to re-install this on my
computer, but when I try

hard drive,
and change the settings to B
est workflow
it reads North American
general Purpose 2 instead. Hel
p what am I doing wrong?

What do you mean by "trying to copy the settings"?
If you have colour settings that you exported from Photoshop before, you can now import them in Color Settings dialog box.

PhotoshopNews: Adobe Photoshop CS3 at a glance!

http://photoshopnews.com/2006/12/14/adobe-photoshop-cs3-at-a-glance/
Even more content out there now on the home page of PhotoshopNews.com

I haven't been able to download CS3 yet, but the Martin Evening pdf (thanks for the link!) has what looks like a piece of great news buried in it:
"For example, before you first had to create an empty new document with the exact pixel dimensions before you could place an image (such as a raw file) as a Smart Object. With Photoshop CS3, you can now place a raw capture file as a Smart Object layer in a single step."
If I understand this right, it means that the functionality of the old Dr Brown Place-a-Matic script is now available from Aperture. We can -- or this makes me hope we can -- send a RAW from Aperture to PSCS3 for editing, and then Place the same image, perhaps twice, as a Smart Object, edit away, and when we Save get the whole edited image back in Aperture without going through the Finder.
I used to use this (from Bridge) all the time to double-expose RAW shots: adjust the sky to one exposure and the ground to another, masking to get both into the final image, all without messing with the pixels of the RAW image. I've missed it. Whoopee.

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.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 had encountered a problem V10.0.0.0

Photoshop V10.0.0 will not open. It crashes as its loading the Twain drivers at start up. I am running Windows XP.
I've tried deleting the preferences file, reloading Photoshop and, as a desperate measure, deleting and reloading CS3. Nothing has worked. I tried upgrading photoshop but still no luck. Set my default printer to PDF, still nothing. Disabled my firewall, still nothing.....
The worst bit is its been working quite happily since June 07 and then in late Nov early Dec it decided not to work. I also had a printer problem during this time and reinstalled the printer software, but photoshop wasn't working before I did that.
The error I get is:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close
Error signature App Name: photoshop.exe
AppVer 10.0.0.0
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.4
Any assistance would be great - I am getting desperate!
Regards
Sally

When I uninstalled my Dell 944 printer Photoshop worked. When I reloaded my printer it crashed again. It seems to crash everytime it loads the TWAIN part of the photoshop opening screen.
I've tried downloading and installing the latest driver from Dell for the printer but its 2005 and the same as the one I have so no luck there.
I still need my printer to work (its my scanner as well) but I am desperate to get Photoshop back! Any clues??

> but the part about DNG has convinced me to dive deeper in it and give it a go
When working in a Bridge/Camera Raw/Photoshop workflow, I tend to ingest the actual native raw files, do initial selects and gross edits and basic metadata work via templates and THEN do the conversion to DNG. I'll use the DNG as my working files and the original raws as an archive. I tend to do this more with studio shoots. I tend to use Lightroom when I'm on the road.
When working in Lightroom first, I tend to ingest and convert to DNG upon ingestion (when in the road working on a laptop) while using the backup copyusually working on a pair of external FW drives one for working DNG files and 1 for BU of the original raws. Then, when I get back to the studio I make sure I write to XMP and export the new shoot as a catalog and import into my studio copy of Lightroom. Then I'll also cache the newly imported images in Bridge as well so I can get at the image either in Bridge or Lightroom.
It's a bit of a chore now since I do work in Camera Raw a lot (well, DOH, I had to to do the book!) but I also keep all my digital files in a Lightroom catalog which is now up to about 74K...
Then, depending on what I'll need to do, I'll either work out of LR or Bridge/Camera Raw...
If I'm doing a high-end final print, I generally process out of Camera Raw as a Smart Object and stack multiple layers of CR processed images...if I'm working on a batch of images I'll work out of Lightroom since the workflow seems to suit me better.
In either event, I've found DNG to be better than native raws with sidecar files.

Adobe PhotoShop CS3 - Image Enhancements

Hello.
I have an extensive website with images...

I use PS CS3 to enhance images. Enhancements revealing details not visible to the naked eye.
My latest images. A Mars dust devil.

I am trying to duplicate these images. No success.
I did not take notes or saved my history.......I really would like to re-create these images.....Re-create the steps needed duplicate this image. I
only need to duplicate or reveal the details - not the colors (false colors are from a gradient filter - a grayscale maping tool).

Hello Mike.
Typical forum response.....One of the reasons I was reluctant to post a topic.
I am trying to stay away from forums....They are whacky....Like a noisy bar or pub......(smiling)...
I have been emailing universities.....Phd types, researchers and scientists.......
My target audience is people from this group....Eventually. They are impossible to reach. I figure posting a forum topic will attract
someone with a strong knowledge base of Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS4 (algorithms).
http://www.adobe.com/technology/people/seattle/salesin.html
Enlarging, Surface Blur, Noise reduction, Exposure (gamma adjust), Shadows and Highlights, Gaussian Blur (radius 0.3 pixel), Sharpening,
Curves - both customized and presets (contrast adjustments), Color balance, Hue and Saturation, Selective color, and a randomized gradient fill (noise samples, a grayscale mapping tool), does not create faces or addtional details. I know this from using PS CS3.
None of these steps (hints) alter an image. Your book recommendation does not apply.
Given that said, I have used those steps to get from this image...

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended installed but not working

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended was added to my computer when I bought it in Thailand.
Now (I am no longer in Thailand) I want to use it but I can't seem to open/do anything.
Even when asking for help with the 'Help' button it states that "There was an error in initializing the Adobe Help application. You may need to re-install the applicaiton and the Help componen".
How do I do this? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Eline

Haha... I like the honesty!
I was in bad need for a computer and went to one of those fancy, big shopping malls recommended to me by a couple of friends. I didn't even know I had Adobe Photoshop until today. I am not sure I really got screwed or things just work differently. The computer is a little strange... (I can write in Thai สกร่ฟส กส่ฟกส า่ฟส ่ if I would like to) but so far it's ben okay.
Anyways, what would you suggest I do Mylenium?

White Lines appear on Images in Adobe Photoshop CS3

White Lines appear on Images in Adobe Photoshop CS3
Recently discover that on three different computers, while editing images in Adobe Photoshop CS3, white lines would appear on some of the images.
For example changing a image from a .jpg to a .psd or size, or enchantment features, the white lines would appear on the image.
The lines did not appear on any of the printed images, any suggestions.
Monitor: Sony Trintron Multiscan G4110
Computer: Mac G5

>The lines did not appear on any of the printed images,
Although it is odd that three computers exhibit the same problem, and unless you can provide other coincidences (same files, same monitor, etc.), I agree. The video card is typically the culprit IF the image anomalies don't print and if they move about with each image resizing or opening of a specific image. Check to see if it's properly seated and connected. Same for monitor cable. Try swapping in another card.
One other thought: as this is a CRT monitor, what happens if you change the resolution and refresh rate? Are you using a recommended combination for that monitor?

Need help in quantizing an image(using adobe photoshop CS3)

Hi All,
I am using window and adobe photoshop CS3 extended. I had an image whereby i had already perform histogram equalization. I would like to quantize the image obtained into 2 bits per pixel, per channel. Can anyone advise me? The image is a 24 bit colour BMP file whereby the bit depth is 24 bits. Pls advise.

Hi, I managed to find the refresh cached option. However there is still one thing which i need some clarification on.
The problem for me is to quantize the image into 2 bits per pixel per channel. I understand from the previous post that i need to use posterize and set it to 4. My questions are as follow.
1) why must the value be 4? if the value is 4 then there should be 8 bits, but my question require a total of 6 bits only
2) After saving my quantized image, the properties of the image still show me the bit depth being 24, thus is there any where whereby i can check that each color pixel is exactly represented by 2 pixels?
Hope you can advise. Tks

We lost our DVD with distributive of Adobe Photoshop CS3 ( redacted by mod-kglad , 8 license).

We lost our DVD with distributive of Adobe Photoshop CS3 (<partial license number redacted by mod - kglad>). What can we do for get new one (DVD) or can yousuggest another way for install programme (exclude buying new version like CS6)?

Thanks, but if you didn't see aboove ("the last one PC with Adobe Photshop CS3 installed in 2008 (with our serial) - chapters "Load e-License..." and "Return e-License..." was not active (in Menu "Help")",look at the screenshoot ("ps cs3>click help>...") from this PC:
As you see, there are no any "deactivate" (in Russian it means "Деактивировать") there.
Read the following answers from http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html, please. It was on 25 oct 2013:
You are now chatting with Vijay Kanna .
Vijay Kanna : Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Vijay Kanna : Hi Ilia.
Vijay Kanna : Please allow me a moment while I review your request.
Ilia: Hello! Ok, I'm waiting.
Vijay Kanna : I have read your request.
Vijay Kanna : I will be glad to help you with the information.
Vijay Kanna : I would first like to inform you that this application you have is a Volume Licensing Product for CS3 for which its not possible to make changes on the license activation seats.
Vijay Kanna : Usually the Volume Licensing Product will not provide such error as this type of error will only show up with retail (single) user application.
Vijay Kanna : If you use the correct download link from the licensing account for this particular application or the CDs for this particular application you will not get such errors.
Ilia: Ok. Where I can download distributive of CS3 (we lost our box with CD or DVD)?
Vijay Kanna : If the CDs are lost and you have not purchased the application as a download then its not possible to find the download link for this application now as the current shipping version with Adobe is CS6.
Vijay Kanna : Adobe at the moment only has the CDs and download link for CS6.
Ilia: It means that we couldn't install our CS3 on new PC? What can we do in this case?
Vijay Kanna : You will have to locate the original CDs or your next option is to purchase the current version which is CS6.
Vijay Kanna : Also the CS3 is not compatible on Windows 7 or any other latest OS.
Vijay Kanna : Is there anything else I can help you with?
Ilia: Yes? wait a momemt please/ I consult with my boss/
Vijay Kanna : Okay.
Vijay Kanna : Are we still connected?
Ilia: Yes
Vijay Kanna : Okay.
Vijay Kanna : Do you have any further questions for me today?
Ilia: Yes, wait a moment.
Vijay Kanna : Sure. I will stay online.
Ilia: My colleague claims that a distribution kit with which we install the program on new PC is copied from lost CD.
Vijay Kanna : Ilia, the application is not installed this way. Also this error which you say "exceeded allowable activation" is not for a Volume Licensing Product and such error is only associated with the single user application.
Vijay Kanna : Hence, the installation file you have should be incorrect and for a single user application.
Ilia: Ok, thanks. We will try to find CD. Good-bye.
Vijay Kanna : You are welcome.
Vijay Kanna : Please click again to check with us, if we can be of further help.
Vijay Kanna : We will be glad to check and help you.
Vijay Kanna : Thank you for chatting. Goodbye.
Chat InformationThis chat session has ended.
Thank you for contacting Adobe."
PS: Finaly, we lost our CD or DVD (with box), we have only serial number and bild (was purhased 2008), nothing else. I tried to finding the same as we lost distributive via Google, etc a lot of time, but trere is no success.

How to read/open Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp

In which Programming language Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp are written?
Extend Toolscript wont open and in text edit is just cryptic hireoglyphs.
Thans in advance!

I for one have a totally legitimate reason for editing a PSP file. We have deployed CS3 to thousands of nodes across our campus, and the behavior of the scratch disk just made my jaw drop in horror (not to mention the sporadic way the PSP file is created and modified). NONE of our users (except admins) have access to the root of the C:\, yet it will only write to the root of a partition! I have found that the setting is stored in a PSP file, and I am in the middle of writing a 50+ (and growing) line VBScript to essentially create an X:\ to point to C:\temp and change the setting in the PSP file. However, I cannot figure out how this file works. The setting that points the scratch disk to C:\ does not exist in the file unless I have had PS open for a period of time.
Adobe's biggest customers are institutions like ours and I cannot believe this issue went over Adobe's head in testing and QA.
I did however, get a kick out of the dozens of instances of the string "loob".

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extend Error

I had to re install Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extend but now every time I try to start it, it errors out withe the following:

and "Could not load the user measurement scale presets file because the file name was not valid."
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Adobe Photoshop CS3 MSI Error

Hello,
I have been getting the wierd error when I try to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 using the MSI package that I created.
Could not write value data to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\Handshake\{GUID}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personel.
This error happens regardless of who is trying to install the MSI pacakage (regular account or Administrator). I even tried to give explicit permission to the regkey, however OS prevents me to do so. I would really appreciate if any of you have seen this error and guide me.
Thank you in advance.
Dipu

"using the MSI package that I created."
Have you tried installing without that, it may be a problem there.
"regular account or Administrator"
Have you tried creating a new account or using the actual 'Administrator' account (not an account with Administrative permissions)?

I have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

i have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

rebel1568,
All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC. You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop. You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines. You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
Of course, you could run your Windows on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.

"Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3″ a JPEG?

Hey, I have a problem: when I try to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3″, and select "Edit a Copy" It doesnt open in Photoshop CS3 a .PSD file: it opens a .JPG file.
I'm viewing an JPEG, and I have selected to copy as PSD.
Is that ok? Comments? Thanks!
PC - Vista - LR 1.3.1

> I have a problem: when I try to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3″, and select "Edit a Copy" It doesnt open in Photoshop CS3 a .PSD file: it opens a .JPG file.
To my way of thinking, this is correct behavior. When it's opened in PS, it *is* a JPEG to start with. You do your edits, then you SAVE as whatever you want. If you want it back to a JPEG, Save as, otherwise, you can save as PSD or TIFF and you won't have lost anything due to re-compression.
Converting a JPEG to PSD only to open it immediately in PS does nothing positive, and is just an extra step.
