Can Photoshop CS3/4 be run as a background application ?

We use Enfocus Powerswitch to automate pre-press/pre-media workflows for our Photographic studios. The main application called is of course PSH and it always brings itself to the front window even though it's not necessary and wastes time doing it to then perform what ever actions / scripts needed on the pic files.
Is there any way to tell PSH not to come to the front and run in the "Background" ?

I think if one employs BridgeTalk in JavaScript for Illustrator for example Photoshop need not be brought to front to perform its tasks.
But isn’t that behaviour in this case dependent on the program You use (Enfocus)?

I have an original version of Photoshop CS3. I run Windows 7 32 bit. After an update of the operating system by MS, my Photoshop refused to work, whereas before the MS update, the software worked perfectly. Please help. Ernst

Dear Sir,
I have an original version of Photoshop CS3. I run Windows 7 (32 bit) on my PC. After a recent (±2 months ago) update/upgrade by Microsoft of Windows 7 (32 bit) on my PC, I lost all functionality of the Photoshop software despite the fact that I have been running Photoshop CS3 on Windows 7 for the past 2 years without any problems. I uninstalled the software from my PC and tried to re-install it again. It would not re-install. After I press the software “setup” function to install the software, a window appears and a blue band runs across it, but then everything disappears from the screen again without leaving any message as to why the software would not install.
I have been informed by Adobe Helpdesk that Photoshop CS3 does not run on the Windows 7 OS. Due to previous experience that Photoshop CS3 had in fact run on my PC on Windows 7, I find it totally strange that I could not install the software again.
In fact the, same version of Photoshop CS3 is currently running without any problems on my laptop under Windows 7 (64 bit).
Please help if you can.
Kind regards,
Ernst Odendaal

Can a java program be run in the background?

Hi all,
Can a java program be run in the background without the user being aware of it? I need to make a program that continuosly monitors a pc at regular intervals and runs at all time. It should be hidden(shouldn't display on the screen while running) from the user, and also, can it be run as a system file so that even if a user checks he/she would think of it as a system file?

I'm the administrator of all the computers. Then as I said there are commercial applications that do that.
Presumably you expect a problem now. And implementing an acceptable solution is going to take you months. Because not only need to 'hide' the application, you also need to set up all the monitoring and logging capability. And the first will require quite a bit of JNI work along with testing (in particular as it could interfer with existing applications on the users computers.)
I need to
install the software in all the machines and i want
that the users who use the machine should not be able
to close the program through the task manager. If the users have admin rights then they can terminate a windows service.
And if they don't have admin rights then you can simply turn off the ability to install anything.
I want
to know what the resources of the computers are and
that if anyone has added a resource to it or
not(attaching a flash usb thumbdrive etc). Lots of JNI.

How can I determine what is running in the background on my ipad?

I have had my Ipad for 6 months. I use wi-fi and cellular 250MB data plan. I have never exceeded 250 MB in a month. This month I ran out of data in 5 days. Also, I usually get a couple of days before I have to recharge. Now I need to recharge in less than a day. The only thing I can think is something is running in the background. Is there a way to see what is running in the background (this is my first apple product, I have always used windows products so I am not sure I am using the apple nomenclature), I have rebooted so I will see if that fixes the problem. I am curious to see what is happening in the background

A double click on the Home button will reveal a tray containing all apps that are currently running (suspended?).
Side swiping this will reveal as many as are active, with a swipe to the right when on the first display will reveal further controls for the iPad, mainly relating to the iPod part, but also containing a screen lock option I believe.
Click and hold any one of them till they 'jiggle' and show a - you can then click this to remove it, relaunching the app as required in the normal way.
Regards,
Colin R.

How can I make a program run in the background?

I'm working on a custom console program. I plan to have the commands as seperate applications and create a server/client relationship so they can communicate with each other. However whenever I call a command I don't want to have a console window pop up, flicker out, etc. I want it to look like it's one complete app. So I'm wondering how can I have the app run in the background?

If you're using a unix system, use the "&" argument (or character, what is its name anyway?) at the end of the command line.
I think you can use javaw in the MS-Windows world.

yo I am having the same problems, any new suggestions on how to get photoshop to work. I have tried everything.
Capt. Lou, welcome to discussions. However, you need to be a little more clear.
When you say everything, what everythings have you tried?
What I have done:
Reinstalled CS3
Repair Permissions
Boot into Disk Warrior and Repair Disk
Boot into Leopard disk and run Disk Repair
What I have not done:
Archive and reinstall operating system: Leopard
Remove 3rd Party Ram
Issues I am having besides CS3 not opening:
Missing PDF tab on Print Dialog
Computer won't go into sleep mode
Mail won't remember junk email
I don't have any of these problems on my MBP. Go figure.

Can Photoshop CS3 Be Configured To Open Bridge CS4 On Launch?

I used PS CS3 for a couple of years and then bought Photoshop Elements 8 last year because I felt it was more modern, included Bridge CS4, was incredibly cheap and would also do everything I wanted.
I have discovered that PS CS3 has a couple of useful items which are missing in PSE8 so I have just reinstalled it.
I would like to be able to have it automatically launch the newer CS4 Bridge rather than its own version but it won't.
Is it possible to do this?
Alternatively, is it possible to launch CS4 Bridge manually and use it with PS CS3 ?
I have tried but whenever I double click a photo in Bridge CS4 it also opens PSE8.
It looks as though the 2 Bridges are inextricably linked with their own versions of Photoshop/Elements.

Thanks John.
I suspect that may be the best answer I am likely to get but have not marked the question as answered just in case someone else can add anything.
Your suggestion does work. I changed JPEG, TIFF and PSD to Photoshop CS3.
The only (quite major) snag is that if I am using Elements and double-click a photo, it opens Photoshop CS3.
This wouldn't matter if I was just using PS exclusively but I also want to use PSE at times.
Looks as though I had better just leave them with their own versions of Bridge.

Can Photoshop CS3 be used with files from Lightroom 5?

I have Photoshop CS3 and I am considering buying Lightroom 5. Does anyone know if output from Lightroom 5 can be processed in Photoshop CS3?

The process engine in LR 5 is equivalent to ACR 8.1(Process version 2012) in PS CS 6 or PS CC.
So if you are using LR 5 you have the equivalent of the latest version of ACR, do all the processing of your raw files with Lightroom. When you are ready to make other advanced editing functions in PS CS3 you use the "edit in function" and a tiff or psd file is rendered by LR and sent to Photoshop.
The only disadvantage is that you cannot use the "edit in function" to make ACR in PS CS3 render the raw file with LIghtroom adjustments, since it is just not capable of reading the full adjustments from LR 5.
PS CS3 uses ACR 4.x (Process version 2003)
This is why you have to use LR to create the tiff/psd file for use in PS CS. In the final analysis when you have completed your work in PS CS you still are left with an additional file tiff/psd.

Running my iPhone Application to run as a background application

I need to run my iPhone application as a background process with no user intervention. As per my analysis, Apple does not allow any third party application to run in background.
My question is :
1) Can we get some signed UID(Unique ID) for our application from Apple so that it allows my application to run in background?
2) If possible, what is the process followed for that like Apple will test my application and provide special privileges to my application?
3) Cost involved to get that UID?
4) Or any other alternative as per Apple's terms and conditions.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hello Avneet26,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
This is primarily an User forum, and not the correct place to find programming/development information.
You are correct in your analysis that third party applications cannot be run in the background.
While it is unlikely that you'll be able to find any workaround to that rule or information on the screening process, your best avenue for finding information related to developing an APP is via the Developer's resources (you may need to register to access some of their resources):

Adobe Photoshop CS3 will not run

I reloaded my windows xp 2005 (?) and tried to load my CS3 software. It will not even run. It has been suggested that the software can only be reloaded a certain number of times. I have reloaded this software 3-4 (?) times over the years. Is this the problem or is is something else?

Don't think there is a number of times you can re-install your program. You can only have 2 activated copies, so if you move to a different machine and don't deactivate on the old one it is still considered an activated copy.
But why would you uninstall and re-install your copy? THis rarely solves problems, espeically if you do not run the Adobe Script Cleaner. Also, the preference file is unchanged on a reinstall, so if there were errors in it before, they are still there.

Can Photoshop CS3 Metadata Be Configured To Identify Camera?

My metadata panel gives Camera Data (EXIF) details but does not identify the make and model of the camera.
A few years ago I am sure I was able to see the identity of the camera.
At the time I was using Photoshop Elements 2 and iPhoto 4, together with an Arcsoft application.
I cannot remember which apps displayed the camera identity, but I am sure I didn't dream it!
So is there any way PS CS3 can be configured to reveal this data?

I think if one employs BridgeTalk in JavaScript for Illustrator for example Photoshop need not be brought to front to perform its tasks.
But isn’t that behaviour in this case dependent on the program You use (Enfocus)?

Photoshop CS3 and iWeb run on startup

I recently installed Creative Suite CS3 on my MacPro. Upon startup Photoshop and iWeb run. Version of iWeb is 1.1.2. Photoshop is CS3 (extended) version 10.0 and I'm running Mac OS 10.4.10
Ideas are appreciated as I do not want these to run on startup.
Paul

Paul,
I do not experience on my Mac Pro, and I have iWeb 1 (currently) and PS CS3 (not extended). If you Control-click on the Icon of each application in the Dock, does Open at Login have a check mark beside it? If so, click to uncheck.

Can Photoshop CS3 Cut Chromatic Aberration (Purple Fringing) On Hi-Contrast Photos?

Some cameras such as the Panasonic FZ38 claim to eliminate chromatic aberration (purple fringing on high contrast pictures) from their lenses electronically.
If that is so, I would have thought that an app like PS CS3 (which has far more computing power) might be able to do the same.
Can it do this simply and quickly? I am fairly sure it can be done manually by spending hours retouching . . . . but that's not what I want!

sorry should have read open with camera raw
lens correction is here

Can Photoshop CS3 Extended and Photoshop CC co-exist on the same system without any issues?

Thanks in advance for any info.

They can co-exist. Whether or not without issues will depend on the specifics of the system, of which you have provided none.
