CS3 Extended copy right question

Hello,
I have a question concerning copy right of Photoshop CS3 Extended software.
Is it legal to sell a version of CS3 Extended on a flashdrive? There is a company that is selling it on a flashdrive and they claim that it doesn't have to be activated but the help files have been removed and the software cannot be undated.
I asked the company about the software and they claimed it is legal. This is what they said;
This is not an illegal copy. The "Patent and Legal Notices" in the "Help" menu clearly state in the (EULA) the following (section:2 paragraph 2):
"Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of the Unicode data files and associated documentation (the “Data Files”) or Unicode software and associated documentation (the “Software”) to deal in the Data Files or Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, and/or sell copies of the Data Files or Software, and to permit persons to whom the Data Files or Software are furnished to do so, provided that (a) the above copyright notice(s) and this permission notice appear in all copies of the Data Files or Software, (b) both the above copyright notice(s) and this permission notice appear in associated documentation, and © there is clear notice in each modified Data File or in the Software as well as in the documentation associated with the Data File(s) or Software that the data or software has been modified".
Please let me know if this is legal.
Thanks

They're giving you a good discount because it can't be updated, right? Not charging you this much:

Copy Right Question

Hey all,
Had a quick question about copy right. Are there photos online availible for the general public's use? I have noticed a few websites (cocktail websites) are using the same drink photos. Is this legal? I was going to make my own because I thought it was illegal to use another person's material.
Thanks.

What you've been seeing online are probably images from stock photography libraries.
e.g. http://www.bigstockphoto.com/search/cocktail/
http://www.istockphoto.com/search/text/cocktail/source/basic#4311647
Google "royalty free stock photography" and "free stock photgraphy"
Be careful with terms: royalty free doesn't always mean "free". Often means only pay once.
Stock photos have
advantages (professional, high quality, easy to obtain, convenient, cheap) and
disadvantages (generic appearance, obviously look like stock photos=minimal effort by website author, often very "samey", not unique to your website, cannot get precisely what you want so you may have to compromise a little)
Then there's Google's Search Images feature....

PS CS3 extended "load files into stack" question

Hi,
I've been trying to use the "Load files into stack" script in PS CS3 extended but the problem is that if for example I have files with these names:
File_1
File_2
File_3
when I use the script it puts them together but in the wrong order so in my layers they are like this:
File_1
File_2
File_3
which would be wrong because the File_1 is my first image but it's the last layer so if I make this into a gif file and watch it, it would play backwards.
I was wondering if there is away to fix this. thanks in advance.
PS: If there is anything I need to provide to make it easier for you to help me, please ask.

Thank you jugenjury for your fast replay, but let me explain what exactly I'm doing maybe it helps, I'm not very familiar with PS so I'm kinda confused about what you just said.
I'm trying to make a .gif from an .avi file. I tried using the File>Import>Video Frames to Layers but I get all blank layers so I used another program to take mass screen shots. so I have 133 images which I want to make into a .gif file. I use the Load files into stack script then in the animation tool I select the "make frames from Layers". It all works out so far but the problem is that the video plays backwards because of the problem I explained in first post.

Student version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended version question!

My school is now offering the student version of CS3 Extended. Is there any difference at all in the student version versus a full retail version? Any help is appreciated!!!!!!

If history is any indicator, the educational version should be exactly the same as the commercial version.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402371
"Many Adobe products have versions created especially for the Education market. The Education versions of Adobe products are fully functional and identical to the retail versions, although there might be differences in packaging or marketing."
"For example, sometimes retail products include promotional software (such as free fonts or clip art) not included with the Education version. Additionally, because Education products are already discounted, they may not qualify for other pricing discounts offered to non-Education customers."Oh, and before I forget:

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.

IPhoto & Photoshop CS3 extended

Hello everyone, I have a question related to Photoshop, I figured this would be a good place to find an answer. In photoshop CS3 extended, using the magnetic lasso to extract part of an image, after I extract the image, how do I put it somewhere else? I cannot find an answer to this anywhere on the web, so I thought I would try here, if anyone has the answer please help, I am really trying to figure this out before I drop the cash to buy it, I am on the free trial right now and the magnetic lasso feature is the only reason I want it. Thanks

After you select the area you want with the magic lasso, do a Command-X (cut) and then Command-V (paste). Change to the arrow cursor mode and click and drag the area you selected to wherever you want it. A new layer will be created with the cut and pasted area in it.
If you're considering PS CS3 just for the lasso feature you might consider Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac. It has the same lasso feature and about 80 % of CS3's features at 1/7 the price. I wouldn't get CS3 for just that.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photoshop CS3 Extended "Not Responding" after selecting horizontal type tool.

Hello,
When I start my PhotoShop CS3 Extended v10.0 and load up a jpg and
then zoom in and go select the horizontal type tool and click on my
jpg, PS just freezes and then I click the main screen and then it
tells me infinetly that it has "Stop Responding"
I am running Win XP Pro SP2 (2600) 2GB DDR, ample HD space, Intel Core
Duo processor 1.66GHz.
Can some one tell me whats going on?

I have deleted the pref file vie the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod.
It still won't load up.
How did I get to the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod?
Good question..... I right clicked the .exe icon and selected
Run as , Current User and --> Unchecked <-- "Protect computer and data
from unauthorized program activity"
And SP started up with no problems.
BTW I wasn't being sarcastic with my last post as I see you used
all Caps in your reply which on the internet is considerd yelling.
If I had something sarcastic to say i would put in quotes "said with
a sarcastic tone", but i did not. I was mearly implying what the words
ment. I say what I mean and I mean what I say, period. Thanks for your help BTW and for now that problem still remains when clicking
the .exe file. Nothing has changed other then I can start PS when
following the directions I have stated here in this reply.
What are your opinions on this?
I would love to hear your thoughts.

Trying to install Raw 4.0 in CS3 extended but won't open

I am using Windows Vista and trying to open camera raw 4 in CS3 extended but I keep getting an error message that says Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document
Anyone have any suggestions

If so, that's normal. Try opening one of your raw images instead. If you are already trying to open raw files from your camera, run AcrChecker to see if your files are correctly installed. It has a button that will copy your configuration so that you can paste it into a message and post it here for others to look at. http://www.curvemeister.com/downloads/acrchecker/index.htm -- Mike Russell - www.curvemeister.com

CS3 Extended activation error 194:8

So I bought a legit copy o photoshop
Albeit I bouhgt it from ebay, but it is definitely legit - not pirated , but a mfr sealed professionally produced copy of CS3 extended
I popped it open and found what I expected the documentation the DVD case with the training video and the serial number on the back.
I installed CS3 extended and plugged in my serial number and was greeted with a shiny green check mark (please note this is not just some generic photoshop liscence it is recognized by the software itself).
Then I began the activation nightmare that I am currently having.
I clicked activate
Activate now
Then I got an error telling me to pease try activating by calling customer care.
I did that I went through the automated system with m serial numberand activation key and then it said it was unable to process so I retried. Still no luck, then I got a live person on the phone.
Here is what they told me:
You do not have a valid serial number...
Odd, I thought, since your software recognized it as a valid liscence. I tried it in several other photoshop programs only to be greeted by a red x (liscence invalid) so the serial number I have is legit for photoshop CS3 extended, it just won't activate.
I tried to tell them that. I asked them what proof they needed from me barcode copy of serial number scan of packaging anything.
They told me I needed the reciept from an authorized reseller.
I'm afraid I didn't see in the liscence agreement where the agreement between provider and end user was limited by their distributorship.
Thank you to me too for buyinga legitimate copy and not going with a free alternative (paint.net as been fine in the past thank you).
So I continued the discussion until I finally asked for a supervisor who was slightly more willing to talk about a way we could resolve the activation problem.
I am stuck getting the original reciept from the seller to prove to Adobe that their product was in fact original purchased from them. You have to be kidding???!!!?!?!
It is unactivated so we aren't even talking about a liscence transfer this product is supposed to be registered to me.
And that still doesn't answer the question of how the serial number is recognized by the software and installation (meaning the serial to DVD matches) and the customer service people claim it is not valid. I even asked them to tell me if it was a liscence used as a known pirated copy or something that should invalidate it, but all they can tell me is that it is not valid for the product.
If that is the case why print it on the label and affix it to the software?
On the other hand perhaps it is just a database error on their part.
What if I bought it from london drugs and lost the reciept how woul they handle that.
There has to be a way to fix it, or is it really that they are unwilling to do anything for a customer.

To quote from that particular forum:
29. Mar 29, 2008 9:59 AM in response to: Bob Levine
Re: Thinking of buying from eBay?
Some of the pirated versions have a hacked activation and registration system that makes it look like it is being activated or registered with Adobe when it isn't. If you use the Adobe registration system, you will get a confirmation screen that says there will be a followup email with a free bonus (font or training video) -- although the email sometimes comes months later. Do you remember getting that screen and the email offer?
At least one f the two copies got that far, so what I am guessing is that one copy is a fake and one is legit, or there is a problem with legit copies printed in singapore due to piracy and or a mfr defect.
It still baffles me that accepting the liscence agreement activating the product and registering it do not gaurantee that it is in fact legitmate. I think after all those hoops the ownes once again should lie with Adobe I did everything in good faith to ensure I have a legitimate copy. (Sans buying from adobe or the local london drugs.)
Perhaps the seller will replace my "defective copy" or whatever you want to call it, or maybe in his batch of legitimate copies he did inadvertantly end up with a well produced pirated copy.
Still reading that forum. I am very interested
And yes I did send an email to adob piracy containing as much info about the suspected "illegal" copy as possible.
I'm prepared to cover the bses and worst case scenario I file a dispute with paypal and then purchase a second copy directly from Adobe I am in any event entitled to educational liscenced products which save me a bundle as is.

Cs3 extended bridge not previewing canon 40d raw files

ok, i just loaded cs3 extended onto my laptop and when i opened bridge the fist time i got a error message that these were not the the right king of file. so my next step was to update ACR to 4.5. i intalled that and put the plugin into files directory. that worked, but now my problem is that bridge will not preview my raw files in bridge. i then went to tool and purge the cache and that also didn't work. so my next step was to update bridge to 2.1.1. so i went back to tool to purge the cache and it still not preview raws in bridge. i converted several to jpegs and they show up in bridge. i am at a loss of what to do next
thanks

The ACR plug in has to be in correct folder and only one copy there. If you copied it there the old copy my be present so delete or rename it.
The ACR plug in does not go in the plug in directory.
It goes in Program Files/COMMON Files/Adobe/plugins/CS3/file formats. Should be one file here - Camera Raw.8bi
I think when you get this sorted out it should work.

When I open a video in CS3 Extended, it's all blank.. help!

Hi everyone! I have Photoshop CS3 Extended on my Dell Laptop, and everything's working fine... except that when I open a video (whether through Import or Open) the video appears to be blank/ The keyframes are there, but everything's just plain white. I've tried different file formats (.avi, .mp4, .flv) but nothing works. Any kind of help will be much appreciated!

GIF is not a video format.

I only responded to you with the same treatment you responded to me with in the three replies. If you think I am a jerk for replying the way I did, then the same goes for you.

You seem to be very very confused. I am on no horse. My comments were no attack against you or your methods. I do not care if you make a GIF animation from video. I was simply trying to save you and your site visitors some trouble by relaying information that you appeared to lack.
If you sincerely asked for help, then there should have been no reason to act like a jerk to others. Use some honey.
It seems odd to bang one's head against a wall with Photoshop when there are so many other free options that can convert more video formats to GIF.
Information I lacked : The reason why the keyframes were blank, and why I couldn't open .avi files in PS CS3 Extended
I didn't need anyone to try and convince me that making .gif animations from videos wasn't worth it. My question was simple, and the information I needed was there point blank.
And if you really wanted to "save me and my site visitors" you shouldn't have pointed it out as "lunacy," or discouraged me. If you were truly concerned, then I apologize, but the next time you want to show concern to someone, I suggest you make it apparent right off the bat. The way you show concern is questionable, just so you know. I'm telling you this because I want to save you from appearing antagonistic to anyone you might want to show your concern for.
That's all I have to say, really. Any further off-topic replies will be ignored. Bill Hunt has helped me quite a lot already, so this topic is now closed.

hmm... i wonder if that's "official" or if the installer just doesn't check. i still have cs2 installed on this box, as well as cs3 ee. the rep said that didn't matter as far as the terms of the license went though. (i still say that's not clear and is up for interpretation.) i still haven't decided which i'm going for. the point of my query with the online rep was really to get it cleared up once and for all.
do you still have cs2 or cs installed there too? or just cs3 ee and cs4 standard?
thanks for the info nick.

Can't Install CS3 Extended from the Installation CD

System: PC and Windows Vista Home Premium.
Problem:
Due to a conflict with Album DS I had to uninstall and reinstall CS Extended. However, when trying to re-install CS3 Extended:
Background/Attempts to fix:
- I can not launch the installation process from the program CD.
- Nor can I explore the CD. It appears as if there are NO files on it but it uses 721MB.
- Installation has no problem initiating on an XP laptop.
- I just installed Turbo tax on the Vista PC in the same drive so its not the drive.
- Right clicking on the Rom Drive in Windows Explorer gets me as far as the installation start screen. BUT when I click on this install button I get Specified file not found
HELP!

I spent over an hour with Adobe Support to no avail. Tried:
- different,external Rom Drive
- tried a SECOND install DVD I received from Adobe last(and first)
time I tried to install CS3
- a "modified start up" installation (disabled a bunch of things),
- installing under a new account
None of this worked.
What DID work was to copy the content of the install DVD onto my laptop then to a flash drive then onto my Vista system drive and install from there. I didn't even have to re-enter my serial number for some reason.
I never resolved the issue but I am now using CS3 again. Ouch.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial

Hi guys, I've recently downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. When I select the trial period for 30 days instead of buying the product, it says that Adobe cannot continue and it's having trouble loading the trial. I reinstalled it and restarted my computer, like it said, and nothing worked. Please help, I cannot afford Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended right now, and I do not support piracy at all.

I've tried to install the program from a different directory, I think my windows installer is crashing every time i try to install it, maybe I find a working hotfix for it.
I followed these steps when i tried to install ps:

Thanks in advance for any help given. It's very much appreciated!
