CS3 and the CLIPBOARD

I open an email message that contains an image. Up until now the procedure has been.... right click the image, click copy, switch to photoshop, file /new, edit/ paste, bada boom, bada bing and I have my image in Photoshop.
Along comes CS3.
Now when i try the edit / paste step, CS3 doesn't paste anything.
My current workaround is to open the lowly free windows paint program, paste into paint .... then edit /copy from paint.... and then I can do a file / new / edit paste into photoshop cs3 and it works. A royal pain.
Any workarounds for this CS3 clipboard problem?

It's pretty hard to google this answer. I hope this will help you resolve the photoshop CS3 clipboard integration. This worked on XP and Windows 7.
1. Start RegEdit
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\10.0
3. Create a new Key of DWORD type. Give it the name AlwaysImportClipboard and the value of 1
4. Restart Photoshop
Good luck!

Nobody can know. You have not provided any system info or other technical details like what your PSD files actually contain, their color modes and a ton of other things. Either way, ask in the AI forum and provide the necessary info.

Yes, you are allowed to have the applications installed on two machines. The restriction being that the application(s) can be used at the same time on both machines.
You do not need to install CS3 if you prefer not to. You should only need the serial number from it in order to get CS6 activated.

Problem with InDesign, Photoshop and the clipboard...

Dear community,
this is my first posting within the adobe forums, please be gentle
So, first things first. We recently switched from PowerPC PowerMac infrastructure to much more powerful Windows machines (i.e. i7 3.4GHz, 16GB Ram, 128GB SSD and decent Motherboards). Now one very annoying bug occurs (and it only occurs on windows machines).
System Information
- Windows 7 SP1 (x64, enterprise edition)
- Creative Suite Design Standard
- Indesign v7.5.1
- Photoshop
Lets assume we have an InDesign-Document with the following specifications:
Around 8mb size
Various Layers with images on network storages (mixed, eps and tif documents)
one of it is a relatively large tiff file (178mb) (300dpi, about 9.200x12.000px, opens normally in photoshop)
When I copy all elements of one page into the clipboard, it renders the pdf for a while. If I then try to start a new document in Photoshop, it won't let me use the clipboard, even though the document is in the clipboard (new document in indesign -> paste -> ét voila).
It seems to be the fault of either the tiff or some text layers (the used font is okay and recognized by photoshop, no errors here), but since we need the whole document in PS for editing purposes, it's a no-brainer to exclude layers for copy&paste.
What I've tried so far:
it's not the system itself, the error occurs on every machine, no matter if real computer or just a virtual machine with only windows, indesign and photoshop
Modified registry values for Photoshop (inserted AlwaysImportClipboard and AlwaysImportClipboard64 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\55.0\) - no change here.
empty clipboard in Photoshop before c&p.
Stupid thing is ... it works flawlessly on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with the same Creative Suite version It would be great if anyone has any ideas concering this error.

I have just that !

Chromium and the clipboard issue

I don't know how many of you guys are using pwsafe as password manager. It is a CLI application that stores usernames and passwords which are protected by a master password.
Basically the command pwsafe -up puts first username and then password in the X clipboard.
This works very well with firefox. If I go, for instance, on gmail and I use pwsafe -up the first middleclick on the username field pastes my gmail username and the second middleclick pastes the password.
It doesn't work with chromium though. When I try I only get the second paste. The first clipboard content gets skipped. So basically instead of the username the first middleclick pastes the password. If I try only with username (pwsafe -u) and I paste in the username field it doesn't paste anything. So for some obscure reason chromium pastes only the second content in the clipboard and not the first.
Any suggestion on how could I solve this problem?

Searching the Chromium issues list for clipboard gets a lot of results:

You can just post the bug there and if its a duplicate, the devs will merge it.

Dreamweaver CS3 Flash Prof CS3 and the web

I am a beginner web designer, but I have search for this
answer for DAYS now! I have placed flash in a html file in
Dreamweaver CS3. I have tried to get it to show up on the web to no
avail. It plays fine in Dreamweaver, but doesn't show up in the
preview (not even the dreaded white box). The white box shows up
when I try to view the site online. I know the html file is there
because the html graphics show up, but the flash media doesn't. I
have double checked that both local and ftp directories match. I
have uploaded the script file and the AC_RunActiveContent file to
the server in the same directory as the local. I have tried
uploading just the Scripts file, just the AC_RunActiveContent file,
and both - to see whatever works! In my anguish I have also double
checked my flash publish settings (played with them to see if that
helped, and then reversed them back to step 1), made sure my images
(flash and html) were there, and gone in and double checked the
script source code in the html file to make sure it embeds the
source, absolute. I am ready to pull my hair out or declare another
occupation! Is this just CS3 craziness, or will the answer be
revealed to me in a dream!

Hi,
I suggest posting this question in the "Dreamweaver General Discussion" forums, as it´s not related to the Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox
(ADDT) extension.

I am using Photoshop CS3 and the image looks ok on screen, but when I print the image is greenish.

I have checked with the printer's help desk and they say that this problem is not the printer, and there are no settings to change on the printer. Adobe no longer supports CS3. The immages look OK on screen, but when I print the page, the immage comes out kinda greenish, (more like, quite greenish). I don't know how to fix this problem or where to adjust any settings. Also to mention, the images are completed after a 2 day process, and this musst be done by Dec 22, 2011. Are there simple print options that will fix this problem?

You're getting into color management territory here and you need to target troubleshooting more specifically.
Basically you have a document profile that defines the colors. That profile is then converted (translated) into
1. A monitor profile for display, and
2. A printer/paper/ink profile for print.
If both profiles are good you'll get a reasonable match (allowing for the inherent differences between screen and paper).
If they don't match either could be wrong. So first off, is the monitor calibrated, or are you using the Windows default (sRGB), or a manufacturer provided profile?
Second, printer color management can be a bit obscure in that some manufacturers "hide" color management by doing it all under the hood and expecting sRGB input. Others, like Epson, allow you to pick the profile. This makes everything more transparent and makes troubleshooting much easier.

DW CS3 and the "edit in Fireworks" button

Hi:
In using the edit in Fireworks button, my computer is looking
for DW8 to open, which was uninstalled a long time ago. The
preferences are set correctly to FW CS3, but it won't obey.
Any suggestions to re-train my system?
Thx, Ned

There's a workaround over on the Yahoo group:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/adobe-dreamweaver/message/60883
1. Open the Dreamweaver preferences -> File Types /
Editors
2. Select PNG in the extensions section, then select
"Fireworks(Primary)
3. Click on the minus Button to remove Fireworks as Editor
4. Make sure that Fireworks is removed from all the
Extensions that
list Fireworks as editor
5. Quit and relaunch Dreamweaver, get back to the File Types
/Editors
Preferences
6. Select PNG again and click the plus Button
7. Now navigate to Fireworks that has been installed on e.g.
D:\Progams\Adobe Fireworks CS3\Fireworks.exe
8. Repeat this with every Extension that should have
Fireworks as Editor

Low-quality copy (to the clipboard) in Keynote and Pages

Hello,
I am running Keynote 6.5 under OS 10.10 on MacBook Air. Just after updating to Yosemite I have noticed that if I copy (command-c) something from Keynote (say, some text, or a graphic) and try to paste it outside (in Preview, or in Word) I get a low-quality image (bitmap rather than vector). It was not like this before. Also, I have verified that this problem is limited to Keynote and Pages; i.e., copying something out of (e.g.) Powerpoint works perfectly (vector image).
Anyone can help?

I can confirm this is also a problem with Numbers. Anything copied out of the iWork apps appear to lose the ability to be pasted as a .PDF, even in applications that can accept the higher quality .PDF format. (In looking into it, there's additional weirdness I'm seeing related to iWork and the clipboard, but that's for elsewhere).
At this time, the only possible thing you can do to get high quality output from Keynote is to Export as a PDF, then open that and crop it.
Just to help a bit more, when you check Preview for how to crop a PDF, the help is incorrect. The command you're looking for is not
Choose View > Show Edit Toolbar,
it's
Choose View > Show Markup Toolbar
However, I haven't tried to see if you can get PDF's without backgrounds... checking now
I've also confirmed that Keynote '09 can still produce .PDF's from copied content. And, I am using a MacBook Pro.

The spry pop-up menu I built in Adobe Dreamweaver worked fine in my old Firefox, I updated Firefox today and the menu no longer works--despite disabling the pop-up blocker in Firefox preferences...what's the problem??? I need the menu to work!!!

I built a new pop-up menu for my website using Spry in Adobe Dreamweaver. Because of some differences in .HTML and .XHTML
it took me days to get it right. I tested every variation in Firefox until it worked perfectly. Today, I installed the newest version of Firefox and now the pop-up no longer works. I changed the preferences in Firefox to disable to pop-up blocker and it STILL DOESN'T WORK...although an older style of pop-up menu (menu machine) which is no longer supported by Adobe, DOES WORK.
HELP!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT.

pixlor:
OP is using CS3 and the menu blog is talking about the menus
in earlier
versions of FW, so *most* of the points made in the blog
don't apply.
That's not to say that using CS3 pop-up menus is a *good*
thing....

New to Imac - how do you view the clipboard?

How do I see the clipboard and have it open?

Are you saying your clipboard is not refreshing?
By default the clipboard should refresh every time you copy something. However there are some users that have problems and the clipboard keeps the same data even after copying new text. There is a script you can use to flush clipboard contents.
Enter the following into the Script Editor in Applications/Utilities
tell application "System Events" to set the clipboard to ""
Save as an Application. Put the Script app on your desktop to run.
FWIW, I recently had this problem after assigning shortcuts to Paste and Match Style. I had to do a PRAM reset followed by a Safe Boot to get my clipboard working again.
Reset PRAM
1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
Safe boot
* shutdown
* start the Mac and *wait* for the startup chime to sound
* after the sound, press and hold down the shift key
* keep holding and *wait* until the grey  Apple logo appears
* now release the shift key and just wait (it could take a few minutes)
* eventually the login screen appears with the words SAFE BOOT

CS3 and printing to an Epson 7800 (Mac OS10.5)

I have an Epson 7800 printer. With Photoshop CS3 not all the print setting choices are available(after hitting "Print" from the first, new Print Dialog window). I get the new Print Dialog window, but when I hit Print and then try and choose Print Settings or Color Management (for example) they are all crossed out. When will an update be available that corrects this? Right now I have to access printing thru CS2 so that I can set everything as needed; in particular, turning off the printers Color Management! As a further note, on the Epson 7600 everything is available via CS3 and the new print dialog window--there is no problem. Again, the problem seems to stem from CS3 plus the Epson 7800. Thanks.

I had this problem in April 07. Wish I wrote down how I solved it because I upgraded to Leopard and have the same problem with the lines running through color management etc in the print dialog box. I found one guy on the Mac helpline who knew the answer. It was a simple fix.

Illustrator CS3 and Motion 3 don't play well together?

I can't get any paths from Illustrator CS3 to appear as shapes in Motion 3. The plugin from motionsmarts.com doesn't work either. I just end up with a .motn file that is empty.
Does anyone know how to get Illustrator paths into motion as shapes and not pictures?

Howdy,
The export script seems to work fine for me in Illustrator CS3. When you say "empty .motn" file, are you trying to open the exported file as a project? If you read the Read Me! that comes with the export script, it makes clear that the exported file is a preset, not a project. Just drag the exported file into your Motion project via the File Browser or Finder (as explained in the Read Me).
I just did this with CS3 and the path, stroke width, stroke color and fill color all came across just fine. Keep in mind that you can only export stuff Motion has an equivalent for, so no dashed lines or compounds paths, etc.

Illustrator CS3 and Autocad DWG layers

When I open a DWG file in Illustrator CS2, the "Open" dialog box has a check box to "merge layers." If I don't check the box, the DWG file opens with layers intact. I don't see that option when I open the same DWG file in Illustrator CS3 and the file opens with layers flattened. Is this option located somewhere else?

I'm in the same boat as everyone here. Kind of stunned that they would take this option away. Its not really a very workable solution for me unless I can keep the layer structure. Actually worse than the layer structure, is that closed plines become individual line segments so you can't just define a fill color.
I know there are a few plugins for CS2, but they don't show support for CS3 yet. Has anyone heard from any of the plugin creators, or from Adobe, about plans to address this. Here are the plugins I found.
http://www.baby-universe.co.jp/plug-in/eng/products/exdxf-pro/index.html
http://www.hotdoor.com/index.php?content=cs3features&navcontent=none
I remember when Adobe switched form PageMaker to InDesign that they made a stand alone application (included with InDesign) to convert from one format to the other). If they don't fix Illustrator, even this kind of approach would be fine for me (but still not as good as from within the application).
So what are the work arounds.
- OK, I guess the best is to keep CS2 around, but we have people in the office who bought CS3 as a full purchae, vs. upgrade, so they don't have that option.
- Well fixing the layers while time consuming could be done (but not good option). If autocad file is setup color by layer, with each layer having unique color, you could use select by color and then drag to new layer.
- Don't know a work around to re-close the segments. Going segment by segment ot join on a site plans with tons of islands and curbs, would not be fun at all.

Dreamweaver CS3 and using keyboard shortcut to preview in browser

Hello,
I am currently using Dreamweaver CS3 and the shortcut to preview work in the browser is Command - F12. The problem is, I'm using the Apple keyboard and when I click that, the volume of the system changes.
I've tried Control, Command, Command+Control, etc, and F12 and nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks.

fnOptionF12 will work.
fn tells the keyboard to send the F-xx instead of the special function.
And like I said there is an option in the System Preference to reverse the use of fn and make the F-xx keys work as F-xx instead of the special function.
