Automator and Adobe Photoshop CS3

Hi All,
I have never used Automator so i am not sure if this is what it is for but I want to be able to apply a watermark to all my images by opening them from a folder in Adobe Photoshop CS3, applying the watermark image then saving and closing the image.
Is this possible?
Sorry if this is in the wrong area, i was not sure where to post it, it could even be an Adobe question???
Any help is much appreciated.
cheers,
Andrew

You have already received an answer using actions in Photoshop and this would give you great flexibility regarding your steps in the action.
However, if you want to use Automator you can download "Photoshop Automator Actions v3.5". This set includes a watermark action as well as 85 other actions to be used with Photoshop CS3.
You can find it here:

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

I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7. I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade. The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen. I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine. Any thoughts on how to get this working? Thanks

If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it. You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

Let me know if you need any other information.

I've noticed this message from you several times, John. Often in cases like this where there is a possibility that another user has had the exact same problem, and thus might have an answer.
I suggest that you shorten your message to "You may need to contact Adobe for help, and the following two lines" which will seem less naggy.

Is Adobe Photoshop cs3/10 still being supported? Mac crashed and need to get up and running again.

Is Adobe Photoshop cs3/10 still being supported? Mac crashed and need to get up and running again. Thank you for any info on cs3. mayord

I believe if you were to ask Adobe Support they would tell you that CS3 is no longer supported by their services, if that is what you are refering to when you say "being supported". That means they are not likely to offer assistance with you re-establishing it.
But you can probably re-establish it yourself. If you need to download it there is a place for that available:
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Screen Flickering in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and CS4

I experience screen flickering in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and CS4 when I move my mouse around on the screen. Basically any mouse movement will create flickering. The more and faster I move my mouse the more flickering occurs.
System Specs
- Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
- Intel i7 3.2GHz Extreme
- ASUS Rampage II Extreme Mobo
- Corsair Dominator 6GB 1866MHz (Triple Channel)
- Dual eVGA Nvidia GTX 285 Superclocked Graphics Cards in SLI
- Dual 60GB OCZ Vertex Series SDDs in RAID0
- Corsair 1000Watt PSU
- CPU and both GPUs are water cooled
- Logitech G-15 Keyboard
- Logitech G-9 Mouse
- ASUS 26" LCD VK266H monitor (1920x1200 @ 60Hz) DVI
- I have the latest BIOS and all of the most up-to-date drivers installed for every piece of hardware.
I have photoshop set to use the maximum allowable amount of memory. The memory slider in photoshop maxes out at 3.25GB which equates to about 50% of my total system memory.
The screen flickering does not occur in any other application or game, only in Photoshop. I have tried every possible Nvidia Control Panel setting for this application, and nothing seems to have an effect on the flicker.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem, or any recommendations?

Aside from the potential SLI issue, you might want to study your Logitech mouse driver.
Going back a bit, several versions of the MS InteliPoint mouse driver caused just what you describe. I have not heard of this with Logitech, but did have some other issues with their SetPoint drivers. In my case, I ditched their keyboard, but kept the mouse (love it), and did away with SetPoint, using the generic driver. All functions that I needed were handled, and SetPoint was out of the equation.
Something else to look at, and good luck,

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 Image Processor not converting files to sRGB Profile

I have been experiencing a problem with Photoshop CS3 Image Processor no longer converting profiles to sRGB. It converts all of the files from Camera Raw to JPEG, but not sRGB as well. I used to be able to batch convert an entire folder of RAW images to JPEG, sRGB through the Image Processor.
My Photoshop CS3 Working Space is Adobe RGB (1998). I need to convert an entire folder of images selected in Bridge to sRGB working space in order to publish a photo album from one of the on-line publishing companies. I can open each individual Camera Raw file in Photoshop and convert each to JPEG, sRGB, but this takes a tremendous amount of time.
The following procedure has worked for me in the past, but for some reason no longer works:
I select the images in the desired Bridge CS3 folder. Upper tool bar, "Tools" > "Photoshop" > "Image Processor". In Image Processor:
Section 1 - ""Process files from Bridge only (11)" Whether or not I place a checkmark by "Open first image to apply settings", it makes no difference in the outcome.
Section 2: "Save in same location"
Section 3 - "Checkmark by "Save as JPEG, quality 12". Also a checkmark by "Convert Profile to sRGB"
Section 4 - Checkmark by "Include ICC Profile"
I replaced my iMac one month ago and reinstalled Photoshop CS3, but this Image Processor problem had been occurring even with my old computer.
Not sure if you need this information:
I'm currently on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
Processor: 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
I don't know if it's related, Photoshop CS3 on my old computer was running in Rosetta. I don't know if it's running in Rosetta now, the name does not appear when Photoshop boots up. How do I get it to run in Rosetta again?

Heh heh heh. It's always true that we find the answer just after making public our problems, which in turn we did after trying to find the problems ourselves for hours.
Thanks for following up with the answer.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extend Error

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.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 crashing on start-up

When starting Photoshop CS3, I can get all the way to the "Initializing shared components" message before the program crashes and has to close. It does this during every start-up. The only major changes I made before the problem began was I uninstalled a Microsoft Office trial version, and also installed Vista Service Pack 1. Does anyone know of a way to fix it?
System details:
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 (32 bit)
1GB RAM
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended V.10.0

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
