Trade Photoshop Cs3 on Windows for Mac.

I have recently purchased a new Mac and have come to find out that my Photoshop that i had on my PC no longer works. I tried to do a cross-platform upgrade, but because i purchased it on ebay they will not allow me too. I am wondering if anyone out there is in my situation but vice versa and would like to trade. I will show pictures of the box and anything you need for proof.

This is not a swap meet and the fact that you bought it on eBay means there's a better than 90% chance that it's pirated.
Additionally, there are legal requirements as far as paperwork that need to be filled out on by both parties.
Please find a better venue for this type of post.

Trade Dreamweaver CS3 Mac version for PC version.

Hello all,
I just mistakenly bought Dreamweaver CS3 Mac edition off of ebay. I need the PC version. Is anyone interested in trading versions or can anyone point me to somewhere that this is possible? Switching editions seems to be fairly common situation, but not possible with older versions.
Thanks

Well you are trying to sell it to a place where people own later versions of the software. As long as the license is good, you may still qualify for the CS6 upgrade at the full retail price because of Adobe's cross-grade policy whereby you pay the upgrade price to switch your license. Basically you sign a letter of destruction and get the version for the other OS. Ultimately, Adobe is moving to solve that probelm with the cloud which works on both operating systems.
But I will have to agree with other sentiments. If you want to get rid of it, best place to look is on Ebay as you found it.

Mac CS3 For Windows CS3!?

Hello!
I recently sold my Macbook Pro and have a now useless fully licensed CS3 production-premium for Mac, and need to trade it for CS3 PP, Windows!
If anyone out there is interested in a trade?... you can reach me: [email protected]
I would be willing to trade the whole suite just for PS, AE, and Premier CS3, or just PS, and AE CS3!

Just got off the phone with Adobe... and they will not do the transfer, unless I upgrade to CS4
Trade is my only option at the moment.

How do I install Dreamweaver CS3?

I've been using Dreamweaver CS3 on my MacBook. I just bought an iMac and want to install the same program there. I downloaded the installer from my Adobe account, but it says I need a CD to install, even though I originally bought the program online and don't have a CD. Is there something I don't know about installing the program?

Well, I assumed that if I bought online, then a digital copy would always be available online. Other sites I have bought software from still have live links even though I might not have downloaded from them for five plus years. I did it only just a week back actually.
With downloads, I always burn a copy to DVD, but if three years and one day down the line I am still using the software as a main source of income, then my house burns down, I've lost both my hard copy and the online digital copy too.
By all means stop support for something that is so old because it is going to take up staff resources, but to enable a piece of software to be downloaded after a three year period is not going to impact on their day-to-day operations other than having to allow for disk space for storage. In fact, it takes effort to have disable the ability to download it whether it be an automatic or human instigated process.
If you speak with adobe staff at a trade show, they help you with any help you might need on older versions... but I guess that's because you are in their face while asking the question!

Why is AS1 documentation not a part of CS3 help

hello;
in my flash CS3 help, there is AS2 and AS3 documentation, but
no AS1 documentation;
I have come to the understanding that AS1 would continue to
be supported in future flash authoring environments;
any thoughts?
thanks

I do get your analogy. Really, I do. What I don't get is why
you're
the one making it -- because based on what you've described,
it sounds like
you're the engineer in this analogy, not the soccer mom.
After reading
Colin Moock's article, I would think even the soccer moms
should find
encouraged, but regardless ... of course you don't have to
use AS3. ;)
If you don't, you're stuck with a different set of
complexities, so it
all comes down to what you're comfortable with. In AS1/AS2,
you have on()
and/or onClipEvent() for handling events. You also have the
dot notation
equivalents (e.g. myClip.onRelease = handlerFunction). But
wait, there's
more! You also have addListener(). How's that for consistent?
Ah, but
then you also have addEventListener() -- just depends on
which datatype
you're handling the event for. If you're a longtime Flash
user -- and you
are -- then each new event handling model was something you
took in stride.
If you're new to the scene, it could seem like a completely
arbitrary mess.
In AS3 (outside of a drop-in-the-bucket NetStream exception),
you have
addEventListener(). Easy to learn and easy to remember,
because it's very
nearly consistent.
In AS1/AS2, if you want to instantiate a new MovieClip
instance, you
have to refer to an existing MovieClip instance and invoke
the
createEmptyMovieClip() method, give the new instance an
instance name and
assign it a depth. In AS3, you just invoke the constructor:
new
MovieClip(), then add the new instance to the display list.
It comes down to personal taste, I guess. To me, the newer
models are
easier to use ... once you learn them (of course). There are
trade-offs in
either camp, obviously.
> if someone could tell me some concrete thing
> that AS3 can do that AS1 cannot
> I would appreciate it;
I'm sure there are more, but here's a concrete thing off the
top of my
head: AS3 allows you to reparent movie clips (and other
visual display
objects) simply by removing them from the display list of one
object and
adding them to another. A practical example that comes to
mind is a jigsaw
puzzle, in which snapped-together pieces stay together,
making it easy to
move snapped-together pieces as a single group. Each
individual piece could
initially belong to the display list of the main timeline,
but could be
moved to the collective display list of a group of
snapped-together pieces.
Not that a single example should sway you. The example I
made might
just be meaningless to you, because you might not be
interested in
Flash-based jigsaws (or you might be interested, but would
rather move
snapped-together pieces by way of some algorithm that tracks
the position
and movement of each individual piece -- again, you're
trading one set of
complexities for another; on the main, I personally find the
complexities of
AS3 worth the learning curve).
> I am working on my first AS3 project - shopping cart -
but
> I will not use external packages );
And you shouldn't, unless you feel that external classes
would help you.
For me, I like the idea of utility classes (at least). In
order to create a
dynamic text field in AS1 -- let's say a non-selectable text
field, that
resizes as needed to fit the text, with a sans serif font --
you might do
something like this:
var tf = this.createTextField("myTextField", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
tf.selectable = false;
tf.autoSize = "left";
var fmt = new TextFormat();
fmt.font = "_sans";
tf.setNewTextFormat(fmt);
tf.text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet";
(Note, this assumes Flash Player 8 or higher, because prior
to Flash Player
8, the MovieClip.createTextField() method returns Void.)
So ... to me, that's a lot to type. Again (this is my mantra
in this
post) ... one set of complexities for another. To reuse this
code, I could
certainly throw it into a function. Let's say something like
this:
function makeTextField(target, text) {
var tf = target.createTextField("myTextField" +
target.getNextHighestDepth(),
target.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 0, 0);
tf.selectable = false;
tf.autoSize = "left";
var fmt = new TextFormat();
fmt.font = "_sans";
tf.setNewTextFormat(fmt);
tf.text = text;
makeTextField(this, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet");
That's a tried and true procedural way to make your work
easier. I
think, so far, you would agree ... and I think, for you,
there's nothing new
so far. Notice that to keep instance names unique, I used
MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() to append a number to the
instance name, and
also to ensure that a safe depth is met. A real
implementation would
probably include x,y positioning parameters, to make sure
text doesn't
overlap ... but you get the idea.
I could use AS2 to create a utility class called, say,
SimpleText.
Here's a stab at it. Quick and dirty AS2 external class file.
// Class file
class net.quip.utils.text.SimpleText {
public function SimpleText() {};
public static function makeTextField (target:MovieClip,
text:String):Void {
var tf:TextField = target.createTextField("myTextField" +
target.getNextHighestDepth(), target.getNextHighestDepth(),
0, 0, 0, 0);
tf.selectable = false;
tf.autoSize = "left";
var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fmt.font = "_sans";
tf.setNewTextFormat(fmt);
tf.text = text;
More complex? In a sense, sure. Not by a whole lot, if you
really look
at it. The AS1 function version was a teensy bit bigger than
the
non-function version. The AS2 class version is a teensy bit
bigger than the
AS1 function version. But once it's done, it's done. If I
ever want this
functionality, I just import my class and use its (in this
case) static
method:
import net.quip.utils.text.SimpleText;
SimpleText.makeTextField(this, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet");
In my experience, that saves me time and effort. And this
same sort of
approach applies to non-static methods as well. It's just a
way to organize
your code. Many people find it more efficient. If you don't,
then you
don't. ;) It's as simple as that.

Switched to Mac, needs my windows CS3 installed on it...

I bought CS3 in 2004 for windows. I now have a mac 13" retina and it has no cd drive. Can i use my CS3 on my Mac? Even though its for windows? Will Adobe let me trade in my serial # to CS3 windows for a mac CS3 serial #?

Hi shark1014u,
The Windows version of CS3 will not work on MAC nor can you trade in for Platform swap as that policy is valid for current version of the softwares only.
For more details regarding the Platform Swap policy you can refer : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platfo rm-language-swap.html

Saving CS3 down to CS2

I'm working as a freelancer. I'm working with Illustrator CS3 but most of my customers still use CS2. When I save my files as CS2 they are not really useable anymore for them. They can't open layers or edit text in CS2.
With the Indesign Interchangeformat it works fine for CS3 to CS2. Is there anything similar for Illustrator?
All this version trouble with software that is that expensive!!!
thanks for advices
Nicola

I constantly trade file with a user of CS3 while I am still using CS2. THe only issue for me is that if I Save As from a file he down-saved, the default save format is PDF, even though the file is an AI file. But all other editing is available. Sounds like you are not saving as CS2.

How much for CS3 Upgrade?

I was trying to get upgrade information regarding Adobe's new
Creative
Suite bundles online, but all the relevant web pages appear
to be down.
I've struck out with technical support, too.
So, if any of you have already researched this, could you
suggest even a
rough estimate of what I might have to pay for Web Premium?
I have Photoshop CS Version 8 on my PC and recently purchased
Dreamweaver 8 for Mac. I want to upgrade to Web Premium for
Mac. At the
very least, it would be helpful to know what kind of upgrade
price
they're offering people who have Dreamweaver 8 only.
Thanks.

>>I did not ask Adobe to trade abroad or establish
offices abroad. None of us
did: we don't want these offices and we don't need them.
But maybe Adobe does. If it were necessary for them to
establish offices and they didn't, I'm fairly sure I'd be reading
posts like "Adobe is snubbing us."
>>Adobe wants these offices and needs them to make more
money.
So you're on Adobe's Board of Directors now? How do you know
their motivation? Also, you stated "why does it take out the extra
expenses only on non-US buyers?" thus implying that if there were
extra expenses involved for doing business worldwide, everyone
should bear the costs including US customers. Say I have 2 clients,
Bob and Mary, and I visit each one to do an in-person consultation.
Part of my rate structure is to charge for mileage for in-person
consultations. Bob lives next door, and Mary lives 50 miles away.
If I go to visit Mary, I don't charge Bob half the cost of when I
go to visit Mary.
>>I just want to be able to download the same software
as my American colleagues for the same money. But Adobe is trying
to force me to buy the same software for a lot more money, citing
localization costs...
Maybe that is one of the reasons, maybe not. Since I'm not on
the Adobe BoD, I'm not going to say "Well it's this reason, or that
reason." When people talk about capitalism, they are funny. First,
they want to charge people what they want for services they
perform, whether it's designing, or cooking, or whatever they do
for a living. However, they scream to high heaven when they
perceive another company to be overpricing their product. For
instance, I can make $25/hour working for a company, or I can
charge 4 times that amount for design work I do on my own. It's the
same work, but the amount paid me is significantly different. The
beauty of this is that if a potential client, or company, doesn't
to pay me that amount, they're free to go elsewhere. If I note a
drastic reduction in demand for my services, I have the choice of
reducing my rates. Who knows? Maybe Adobe will change their
policies if the market shows they're losing money. As I've said, if
you don't want to pay the price, don't buy the software.
>>while it does not even have the courtesey to address
me in my own language on the site I am forced to order from.
You seem to be doing fine with English :-) . Maybe it is a
lack of respect, as you've stated. However:
A) Most web designers can read and write English.
B) Adobe is shooting themselves in the foot by shutting out
the few designers who can't read English, so hopefully that lets
you sleep a bit better at night.
>> So what I'll get for the fortune Adobe wants, is:
American software, with an American interface (no Dutch version
avaiable, not that I would want a Dutch version),
> I fail to see a problem here. You're not getting
something you don't want.
>>Come on: I am paying almost double the price than
Americans pay for exactly the same thing. You don't see a problem?
You are not being serious.
You COMPLEEEEETELY missed the point. You stated that you
don't want a Dutch interface. Adobe doesn't supply one. No problem.
That's like being allergic to seafood and complaining that a
restaurant doesn't serve salmon.

upgrade.

>>That is irrelevant and quite a lame argument. I want
to upgrade, and why should I not be able to upgrade at the same
price as my American colleagues?
Why should I be paying for Adobe wanting to branch out?
It is neither irrelevant, NOR is it a lame argument. I don't
want to pay taxes, but I deal with it. Also, as mentioned
previously, I had purchased an education version of Director when I
was a student a long time ago and wanted to upgrade to the
non-educational version. However, Macromedia's policy was I would
have to pay the full price, not just the difference. Guess what? I
didn't buy the full version. I wasn't happy about it, but I dealt
with it. Is someone forcing you to go with Dreamweaver? Is someone
holding a gun to your head? If you want the Spry network, download
it from Adobe's site for free. From everything I've read, Spry
integration is about the only really major difference between CS3
and 8. There are plenty of other web editors out there. No one is
telling you you have to use DW. Also, do you have to upgrade right
now? As mentioned in another post, I haven't upgraded since MX2004.
If people in the EU and elsewhere don't upgrade due to the pricing,
Adobe will probably revisit their policy. Who knows what *all* of
the costs are for selling overseas? Do you?

>>I fail to see what that has to do with it. Surely
people are not forced to fill
up at the one expensive station?
How did I know you would miss the point on this one also? The
point is that there are different operating costs in different
areas, so the prices fluctuate.
>>They drive a mile further and use the cheaper
station. But Adobe is stopping Europeans and Australians from
driving the extra mile to get cheaper gaz.
Adobe has only one station open to us, and that is the very
expensive one. That
is the problem.
But if it really IS more expensive to sell globally and (due
to factors which neither of us know about) they did need to open
international offices, why should Adobe be obligated to absorb
those costs? Again, if you don't want to pay the extra fees, don't.

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)

Even mapping onto 3d object in Illustrator CS3

Having a wee bit of a problem here - I have created artwork for a display stand and, to demonstrate how this will look, I'm trying to make a 3 mockup in illustrator CS3.
I've created a top down shape for the object which I then extrude and map the image on to - this is where the problem arises! Illustrator seems to 'bunch' the mapped image around points where curves are tighter (presumably due the increase in vertices there) rather than mapping it evenly around the surface. This causes some rather undesirable warping of the image which rather ruins the effect!
Can anyone tell me a way of avoiding this?
Many thanks!

But did you have to reposition the mapped symbol, since adding anchors also add surfaces
No. I did exactly what my instructions indicated: I simply positioned the Symbol for mapping onto the front surface, with no scaling. After Illusrtator rendered the result, I selected Add AnchorPoints twice.
The distortion was due to the extended handles of the middle point which gives the front surface its concave shape. Adding anchorPoints effectively shortens the handles, thereby lessening their distortion effect. That does not necessarily add surfaces to the model. A 3D Effect model does not necessarily create additional surfaces for each "patch" defined by anchorPoints. You can see that easily by simply extruding a filled, unstroked ellipse into a cylinder with open endcaps: One surface, despite the four anchorpoints in the section.
Moreover, with the preview checkbox on, the 3D Effect interface highlights the surfaces on your model as you page through them in the Map Art dialog.
OF COURSE the model's section path needs to be drawn with some sense about what 3D Effect will have to do to it geometrically, and about the scale of the 3D model settings relative to the size and aspect ratio of the mapped artwork (thus my admonitions to that effect in my second post). One can't just willy-nilly apply elaborate automatic effects to any carelessly-drawn path and expect results to work right. But assuming appropriately-drawn sections for the extrusion, adding anchorPoints can be an effective means by which to correct distortion caused by long curve handles--just as it can also be used to more closely approximate uniform spacing of Blend steps along curves spines. The long radius concave front of a trade show backdrop is a case-in-point.

Have Mac version of Photoshop CS3 need Windows version

Thought I would post here and see if anyone had a Windows version of Photoshop CS3 that they would like to trade for my Mac version. Mine is the full version with the box and everything that came with it. It was installed and activated one time for less than a month.
I switched from the Windows version to this Mac version when I thought I was going to be on the Mac full time. Now my job requires a PC only so I need to switch back and Adobe says only one switch allowed :-(
I'll pay for all shipping, I'll even throw in my previous router that I just upgraded. It's a D-Link 624 4 port router, 802.11g.
[link deleted]
Thanks in advance.

Leah,
Nothing personal. But please be aware that this forum is not Craig's List, the neighborhood swap meet or other trading venue. And there is just too much software piracy for us to take the time to properly vet your offer.
>It was installed and activated one time for less than a month.
Be aware that if you were to sell or trade your software privately, it's not a simple swap. You would have to properly deactivate and uninstall the software from your system, delete/destroy any copies, and provide proper paperwork to the new owner, including an Adobe letter of transfer of license, plus all original disks, etc., so that the new owner could properly register the software in his name and be entitled to all upgrades.
And be aware that its value may be an issue at this point, as Adobe will be announcing CS4 shortly. Some folks may wish to wait for CS4 rather than purchase CS3 now.
So I recommend that you simply contact Adobe customer service, explain your job situation, and request a crossgrade (essentially a platform swap). The cost is minimal and should not be a hassle for you.

Unable to install DW CS3 in windows 7

Hey all,
I was given a copy of DW CS3 from my brother and it was working fine on XP, I had to install Windows 7 and now it wont install DW CS3, (but will install shared components)..
Can anyone help me?
Any information will be given if required.
Thanks
Andy

I actually googled for an answer to the new message and found a link to repair the licensing problem. The only problem now is that I have a message telling me that I have exceeded the number of activations available so that I have to deactivate PS on the old computer and then I can reactivate it on the new one. Only problem is, of course, is that there is no old computer. I useda Windows 7 disk to install the new OS on a brand new computer and no longer have the old one. As far as I know the hard drive on the old one has been formatted and erased many times. The computer shop that built my new computer takes the old one as a "trade in" and completely and securely erases everything on it!! It never occurred to me to deactivate PS on it! I guess I will be in touch with Adobe. And probably go through their telephone maze from h***. If not I apologize now. What a mess!

Encore CS3 help - please

I have been told by an Adobe tech support agent that I can use Encore to provide a solution to the problem I have re getting the flash animation on my website to "Play Once" and NOT LOOP. I also need it to display the last frame as a still image if this can be done in any program known to mankind. It appears that this task may be to "simple" for such a capable program as Encore. Noe of the ceap little flash editors had any idea how to do this either. Can anyone tel me how this can be done? I have had no luck with Encore so far. Any help is appreciated. Thanks - ssea

I don't understand why you can't get this to work using Flash. Have you asked in the Flash forum?
CS3 is very limited on what you can do to customize player controls. So that's a big trade off.
Yes, you can have a first play that is the animation, then have it come to a "menu" that would be a still image, no DVD style menu buttons - but you'd still see the player controls.
Also, the animation would have to be DVD spec (i.e. TV pixel size). I'm not sure what effect you would get if you use html to reduce the playback size.
Anyway, I vote for Flash unless there is something I am missing.

.MOD Files and Ppro CS3

Why CS3 does not regognize the .MOD Files from a JVC EVERIO GZ-MG70E.What canI do? HELP. Thank you.

Those files are intended for watching, not editing. What you can do is trade in that camera for a MiniDV model if editing is your goal.
