Banding problems with CS3 at 100% zoom

Just upgraded from CS2 to CS3: I always shoot in RAW, then zoom in 100% in RAW converter to check quality. I also work in 16 bit and using CS2 the tonal gradation is brilliant. However the same photo opened with CS3 Bridge shows banding when I zoom in. Same happens when I convert and open the image in Photoshop. Great in CS2, banding appears in CS3.
Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks for the reply Christopher. I did check colour settings, but good idea. I'm happy to say I've resolved it myself, having wasted 2 days with the Adobe support line.
Figured it had to be something to do with the screen so changed to a higher resolution and that seemed to cure it. Even so, I thought somethings not right. Read the 'Readme' notes more carefully and spotted the paragraph about updating my graphics card driver. I did this and now seems to be working fine.

  • Epson Printing Problem with CS3

    My Epson Stylus Pro 9600 has a problem with CS3 printing. When printing large images (i.e. 36x60) a portion of the image would be missing at the bottom (blank) The 10.01 update addressed this issue but it seems not completely. The problem was attributed to using a "Custom" print resolution however I still have this problem and after much testing I have narrowed it down to the "Finest Detail" check box under the custom, advanced tab. Checking this "Finest Detail" check box reproduces the problem.
    I'm not sure where the problem lies whether it be Photoshops new stripped down print code or Epsons drivers. For the mean time I will keep this feature de-selected. Hope this helps other frustrated Epson Owners.

    Photoshop CS 3.3 Extended (Masters Collection)
    Epson Stylus Pro 9600, Drivers ver 5.52, current printer bios

    Adobe blamed Epson drivers for not anticipating CS3's changes. Like they're clairvoyant or something. Their reason was that it was too hard to take into account every printer on the market when writing the new (unasked for) CS3 printing module. A feeble excuse when it comes to Epson pro machinery, though - it is the industry standard, after all.
    Solution? - use CS2 for printing, authored back when Adobe wrote its software to be compatible with existing equipment and drivers, not expecting the world to fall into line with whatever it decided it would do. CS2 works flawlessly with my 7800, CS3 remains a basket case for the same reasons you mention, though checking/unchecking the fine detail box makes no difference. CS3 is erratic - sometimes it works as directed, but then out of nowhere it will suddenly decide to attenuate a pano print.
    We'll see if they get it right with CS4's "improved" printing, but don't hold your breath.

  • Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac? 

    Peggy
    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

  • Problem with Bridge CS6 and zooming to 100%

    When I click on a file to zoom to 100% it zooms to 800%. I had the same problem in CS5 and fixed it by deleting the com.adobe.bridge.plist, but this does not work with CS6 and I don't even find the plist. I have a Mac with OS X 10.8.2. I found two plists, com.adobe.CSXS.3 and com.adobe.CSXS2Preferences but it didn't fix the problem deleting them.
    I use the zoom function alot and would be very grateful if someone could help me. I do not like the preview workspace with the little 100% window, I prefer zooming to 100% by clicking on the file.

    It does not work on a Mac, and they have only one set og +/-, at least my Macbook Pro has.
    That is a bit strange, it always has worked for that way on both my Mac Pro and my MacBook.
    I can use the scroll wheel on my mouse to enlarge the 100 % preview from loupe in preview window to 200, 400 and 800% but also the + and - keys from both my qwerty key board and the number pad of my extended keyboard for the same result.
    Hitting tab for full screen preview I don't even have to click, both aforementioned + and - keys set to 100%, 200, 400 and 800% as well my scroll wheel.
    All those methods work on both MacPro and MacBook.

  • Printing Problems with CS3 and Epson R1800

    Recently upgraded to CS3 and have now lost most printing options for Epson Stylus Photo R1800. Had no problems with CS2 running in Leopard. Anyone know what has happened?

    >"Unfortunately then I'd have to say all bets are off. The only true test is to print with the standard materials that Epson has designed their printer for. Only if that works well should you be trying third-party materials. For example, third-party inks in general are of poorer quality, are inconsistent, clog more, and in the long run, do not save you anywhere the amount of money they advertise over the genuine Epson products."
    Getting very nice results with an R1800, Inkjetfly CIS, and Red River paper. The R1800 has never had Epson ink run through it and has no abnormal clogging problems. In fact, clogs are rare.
    Getting near perfect matches to the monitor with both Colorvision and x-rite calibrating/profiling equipment. The printer stays on 24-7 so the only ink used, other than printing, is a periodic nozzle check. I am not alone in this, so blanket statements like the above are specious at best.
    And no, I don't sell prints for big bux, so whether they are going to last a hundred years is not a concern. Besides, until someone is around long enough to verify those claims, the jury is out. I've got color prints from the wet days that are fading after 20+ years. Third party inks are not necessarily lower quality than OEM. One of the reasons for the development of high quality third party inks was the dissatisfaction of B&W and fine art printers with the OEM products.
    Of course the cheap refilled/knockoff carts being hawked on ebay and the like are a different story.

  • Problems with CS3 and Epson 4800

    I am running Leopard on a Pro tower with CS3. I have a Dell laser printer along with a 4800. A few weeks ago, I set the Dell to be the default printer. All my prints on the Epson started coming out extremely flat, not matching my calibrated monitor at all. I finally set the 4800 to be the default printer and the prints looked normal again. No idea why that would happen. It baffles me. Driver conflict?
    However, I am still having two problems. First, when I soft proof, the soft proof screen looks nothing like the print. I am selecting the correct print profile in the Custom screen. The soft proof looks dark and weird.
    Second, the gamut warning is greyed out and unavailable to me, regardless of anything I try.
    Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or suggestions for fixes?
    Thanks

  • Problems with CS3 and Leopard

    Having a bit of a nightmare with Indesign and Photoshop CS3 since upgrading to Leopard. Running a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 With 2GB DDR SDRAM. Anyone else having problems?

    Below is the Adobe Marketing Line (copied verbatim). It's what I was told by Adobe Sales and what I read at Adobe.com, FAQ, before buying CS3 in October 07. Imagine my surprise when I discovered all of the issues with CS3 and Leopard, even after the update to Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional which promised full compatibility (see chart at bottom).
    Apple and Adobe... ARGH.
    Oh yes, for all of the new suckers out there who are about to buy CS3 for their new Macs, the exact same FAQ is at Adobe.com, even now, Thursday, 12 Jun 2008.
    ADOBE CREATIVE SUTIE 3 Frequently Asked Questions
    Support for Mac OS X Leopard
    Q. Is Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5) important to Creative Suite 3 customers?
    A. Yes, Mac OS X Leopardthe latest version of Apples operating systemdelivers an elegant,
    productive new computing experience for creative professionals. Adobe and Apple have been
    collaborating closely for months to ensure that Adobe Creative Suite® 3 applications can run
    smoothly and reliably on Mac OS X Leopard. We are proud to support this impressive new
    operating system, and to ensure that our creative customers can take full advantage of the
    performance and value of using Creative Suite 3 applications and Mac OS X Leopard on
    Intel-based and PowerPC Macs.
    Q. Are Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications compatible with Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5)? If
    some are not fully compatible today, when will they be compatible?
    A. Thanks to close collaboration between Adobe and Apple, most of the CS3 applications and associated technologies, such as Adobe Bridge CS3, Version Cue CS3, and Device Central CS3, are compatible with Mac OS X Leopard without requiring additional updates. However, the following CS3 applications will require updates for full compatibility with Leopard: Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and our professional video applications, including Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, After Effects CS3 Professional, Encore CS3, and Soundbooth CS3. We expect to publish free Leopard compatibility updates for the video applications in December 2007 and for Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe Reader 8 in January 2008. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2 of this FAQ.
    Q. Will older versions of Adobe creative softwaresuch as Creative Suite 2 and
    Macromedia Studio 8 softwaresupport Mac OS X Leopard?
    A. While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were
    designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Leopard. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2.
    Q. Will Adobe continue to test CS3 applications on Mac OS X Leopard?
    A. Yes. Adobe sets high standards of quality, stability, and reliability for our professional creative
    products, and we have worked closely with Apple to test Creative Suite 3 applications on both pre-release versions and the final shipping version of Mac OS X Leopard. While this testing showed that most CS3 applications perform well on Leopard (and that others run well but need updates for a few identified issues), we recognize that other issues may unexpectedly arise on any new operating system. We plan to continue testing and to monitor user experience closely to address any such issues. If you encounter any issues, please report them by going to www.adobe.com/misc/bugreport.html and clicking Report
    A Bug. Please note that we dont respond to submissions, but we do review them closely with the appropriate CS3 product teams.
    Q. Which CS3 applications will need patches to be compatible with Mac OS X Leopard?
    A. The following table summarizes compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard. It notes which CS3 applications require updates for full Leopard compatibility and when Adobe expects to release those free updates.

  • Wacom tablet problems with CS3

    I've had Flash 8 which was fine with my Wacom tablet.
    However, now that I've downloaded Flash CS3 it's caused problems
    with my Wacom tablet even if I return to Flash 8. For example, if I
    double click on a symbol, a broken rectangular object appears and
    enlarges. I'm eventually taken to edit the symbol, how it's become
    most time consuming. Is there a patch or a solution?
    Sincerely,

    how is this related to a wacom tablet?
    can you provide a screenshot of this "broken rectangular

  • Problem with OS X, Cursor, Zoom, Dictionary Issues

    Hi All,
    I'm wondering if someone can provide some guidance to problems I've recently been having with my Mac Book Pro laptop. Starting about a week ago, my cursor on the screen seemed to grow a mind of it's own and all of a sudden started acting strangely. When I'd go to scroll down a screen it wouldn't respond at first and then it would respond but not go anywhere in the direction I was moving it. Simultaneously, the screen would zoom in and out and become unresponsive and then whatever text was in the range of the cursor would randomly hightlight in yellow and a dictonary definition of the word would pop up.
    If anyone has any experience with problems such as these, can you please let me know. I'm having these issues frequently enough to make the computer really unusable. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my computer itself or some software glitch. I've never had problems with this MacBook Pro before, and it is very new, purchased just like 18 months ago.

  • Problem with CS3 InCopy text files and InDesign CS5

    I have a large annual magazine that I am developing. There is one section that doesn't change much from year to year and I was hoping to grandfather in the InCopy text files from last year's edition. I've successfully used this strategy the past few years without issue. However, now when I try to check out those text files from last year, I receive the following message "This story needs to be coverted to "InCopy Document" format in order to edit it."
    I am running both InDesign CS5 and InCopy CS5 in SL 10.6.4. The previous year's magazine document was in CS3 InDesign format and the text files were in InCopy CS3. Is there some sort of compatibility issue? Is there a specific method for converting them so I can check them out in InDesign? I haven't attempted to check them out in InCopy CS5 yet but I will try that next. But I really need the ability to check out the content via InDesign too.
    Thanks in advance.
    Robert

    AFAIK, you're going to actually need to open the INCX files in InCopy and then resave them as ICML file. You can then relink them all in InDesign.
    Other choice is killing the InCopy links and then relinking everything.
    Best practice would be to finish any job started in CS3 with CS3 and then move to CS5 with new projects.

  • Tablet problems with CS3 on Vista

    I keep hearing about this particular problem with Macs, but...
    I have a Wacom Graphire4 tablet with the latest drivers installed on Home Premium. Whenever I open Photoshop, though, (even if I try double-clicking with the pen) the cursor lags severely - I'm often waiting at least 5 seconds after the movement to actually have the cursor to move to its destination. I also can't draw on a blank document, as trying to click or press with the pen tip yields no response.
    The tablet works fine on my laptop (running on XP) with Elements 5, but for some reason, not this one. Help?

    well i have vista too and flash 8 and it is working perfect
    for me so i don't what to tell you.

  • Recurring ftp connection problems with CS3

    I've been experiencing recurring connection problems to a live server.   
    The settings have not changed, and the "test" verifies connection is working.
    I can connect to the site via ftp successfully using the same information.
    All I see in the remote server box is /www/ ,  I cannot open the folder however.
    The only way to resolve is to delete my profile on the computer and recreate.   This fixes it for up to 1 week, but sometimes as little as 24 hours.
    Others who log in to the same machine and use Dreamweaver are able to connect successfully.
    I work on a network and do use 2 separate work stations.   On one of these workstations is also installed Avid Newscutter, the full Adobe CS suite and a programme called Flip (for working with xml).    I had no problems until I started working at this terminal.
    The company technical support is at a loss, so I was hoping folk here might have some suggestions?  I've been using Dreamweaver, various versions both at work and home for many years and have never experienced a problem like this before.
    thanks.

    Hi Jon
    I am getting two error messages, one that says that the log on info/password is wrong, the other is a large message that tells me to check everything from cables to firewalls. My provider has recently been updating their systems and I have had to change passwords etc, but they insist that it is nothing to do with them. I am sure that they have changed some protocols or something that dreamweaver won't recognise.
    I am connected to the internet via a cable to a belkin router and have no problems with internet connections.
    I have tested the adobe ftp test connection through dreamweaver which worked fine.
    I haven't tried filezilla - I'll have a look.
