  • Jagged Fonts, Photoshop CS3

    I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum.
    I noticed that the fonts in Photoshop CS3 are jagged looking now, but when I first bought the computer, they were fine. I had the same problem with my Powerbook G4. Now I'm limited to which fonts I use in my designs because many of them don't look good anymore.
    Anyone know what's causing this and if there's a solution to this issue? I tried searching the forums but couldn't find anything.
    Thanks!~

    check font smoothing in system prefs>application. I have CS4 and have it set to STRONG and 4.

    Thank you !!

  • How do I fix jagged fonts in Preview?

    Something happened and now all the pdf-documents I open in Preview have really jagged fonts and terrible quality. I'm using OS X 10.6.8. This might have happened when I last updated the software, but I don't remember exactly. How do I fix this?

    Wow, now I feel really stupid. I just found the "Smooth text and line art" and clicked that. Fixed the problem. Amazed.

  • CS3 Photoshop will not load images

    I have just recently run into a problem with my CS3 Photoshop. When I try to go through File> Open and choose a .jpg .gif and even .psd file I get an error message saying: ' could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.'
    When I open in Illustrator there is no issue. Or when I go directly to the file and use Open with, then direct it to Photoshop it opens fine.  However, if I need to open another image file I get the error message again. What can I do with this?

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    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.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files

    I have spent hours downloading a variety of stuff and still cannot get  CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files. I  have downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 plugin. Photoshop acknowledges that  is the version installed. But it won't recognize the .CR2 file type.  When I say show me all files, the files show up in the open file dialog,  and the thumbnails look right, but when I open the file it is munged. I  also installed the DNG Converter, which also does not recognize the  .CR2 files.
    Has anyone figured this out yet? It has been almost a year. I don't want to upgrade to CS4 or 5 or buy Lightroom.

    The Adobe DNG Converter 6.2 will open your files, if you have an uncorrupted download and use it properly.  No doubt about that.
    Once you launch it, be sure to target a folder containing raw files, not the raw files themselves.  At least on the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders, not on individual files.
    Alternatively, you can try dragging and dropping the individual raw files onto the DNG Converter icon.
    Some routine maintenance may be overdue on your Mac, such as Repairing Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, running Onyx or Cocktail, etc.

  • CS3 Photoshop RAW error

    Hello,
    I am using CS3 Photoshop Master Collection on a Vista and a Windows 7 computer's. I am unable to open RAW files due to the following error:
    Could not complete your request because of a program error.
    I am trying to open up a RAW file from a camera that is Nikon D3000. I am not actually on my computer typing this message but I am thinking both are 64 bit but they may be 32 bit. The RAW feature has never worked for me. The Nikon RAW files are actually NEF. Any help will be helpful. Thank you very much!
    Marie

    In photoshop open Help/plugins/camera raw.  There should be one version there, should be 4.6 or 7?, which is last version.
    Most probloems with camera raw are that the ACR is in wrong folder, or there is more than one version in folder.  ACR does not go in the plug in folder.

  • Twainbridge error when trying to install trial CS3 Photoshop

    Hi,
    I downloaded the CS3 Photoshop from Adobe and I try to install it and I get this error message that installation can't continue because the Twainbridge must be closed. How do I fix this? Also where it the Twainbridge?
    Thanks,
    S.

    Niel,
    Thanks, it worked great. The thing is what is the TwainBridge and why was it running? Is it alright I don't have it running? I looked on Yahoo and it says it has something to do with video (the Twainbridge).

    I have a PC running Windows XP (yes an antique) with CS3 Photoshop and InDesign and lightroom 2 (yes all antiques). I have acquired a PC running Windows 7 with no programs. I also have a MacBook pro  with full CS5 suite. The programs were already loaded with I got it as a gift. Question 1. If I find serial numbers used to download programs to the old PC, can those CS3 programs be put on the newer PC. Question 2. I really want to put CS5 suite on PC machines. Is that possible? Especially since my MacBook is showing some hard drive problems.

    You should be able to get the CS3 programs installed and running on the new pc since CS3 is spec-ed for Windows 7 Service Pack 1.  Downloading the programs does not require a serial number.  You can find them here:  Download CS3 products  but you will need the serial number to activate the programs.  You might be able to find that thru your Adobe account online.
    You will not be able to install the CS5 Mac version on a PC and you won't be able to trade it to a PC version either due to it being an older version.  Trades are allowed only for the latest version (CS6)

  • CS3 Photoshop Will Not Import .CR2 Files

    I have tried countless updates and cannot seem to get Photoshop to import RAW files (.CR2) into the system. I receive the error message, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type"
    I am trying to import using the Merge HDR function on CS3 Photoshop, but it does not even do anything  when I click OK on the three RAW pictures i have selected.
    Help please. I am using a Canon Rebel T1i
    Thanks

    Photoshop CS3 doesn't have support for that camera. You'll either need to upgrade to CS5 or use the free DNG Converter to convert the raw files to DNG files that can be opened with CS3.

  • OS10.9.2 on an Intel Mac CS3 Photoshop says on startup 'licensing for product has stopped working.'

    Using OS 10.9.2 on an Intel Mac, my CS3 Photoshop says . licensing for this product has stopped working.' I've reinstalled and attempted to use the fix in the Adobe website. However the fix will not work on an Intel Mac only a G5.

    For Intel Macs running 10.7 and above, there is a python script that you copy and paste into Terminal. Have you tried it?

  • CS3 Photoshop Does Not See Scanner

    I am running 10.7.5 Intel Core i5. Before I zapped my PRAM, I used to be able to go to> Import and choose EPSON Perfection V33/V330… and now I get a message that says: CS3 Photoshop -- Could not complete the import command because there is no scanner installed. What the heck did I do to get it going the first time? Vue Scan Twain is giving me the color beach ball of death. Whining :- o I like to scan in photoshop and have the scanned file open directly.

    Try Preview or Image Capture to see if scan is working.
