Editing with Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Elements 8

I posted this in the PSE forum but didn't get any hits. Hopefulyy I'll be luckier here.
I have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8. I do all my editing usually with Photoshop CS3. I use Elements mainly for the organizer.
When I choose Edit with Photoshop from the organizer, it launches the application but the photo does not open in Photoshop. Nevertheless, there is a banner accross the photo in Elements that says "Edit in Progress". If I close Potoshop CS3, the banner stays there. I have to close Elements to get rid of it. If I choose "Open with Photoshop Elements" it works fine.
That used to work fine with my previous version of Elements 6.0. Everything works fine in CS3. Any suggestion on what I might be doing wrong?
I'm running Photoshop Elements and CS3 on Windows Vista 64 bit.
Thanks.

I have too much invested in Elements Organizer. 1000's of photos over a period of 5 years - tagged, version sets, stacked, albums, collections, ... I don't believe Bridge can do all of that.
I replicated the environment on a different PC with XP instead of Vista. Same problem. There seems to be a bug between Elements 8 and CS3. I don't have CS4 to test it with.
Come guys, with all the people in this forum, someone must have hit the problem or has an idea of what's going on. I logged a case with Adobe support but I doubt this will be a quick resolution.
Thanks.

  • Photoshop CS3 doesn't open or error occurs, when you Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Lightroom 2

    Problem: When you try to Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, Photoshop CS3 doesn't open, or after Photoshop opens, you see the error message, "Photoshop could not be launched".
    This issue is currently being investigated. At present, there are two possible areas that might be causing this issue. Corrupted metadata or a corrupted catalog, or Photoshop CS3 has not been updated to 10.0.1, or the update did not apply correctly to the application.
    We are working for a permanent solution for this issue.
    Workaround: Please refer to this Adobe
    TechNote for further information.

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • Camera raw and Photoshop CS3 from Lightroom

    (2.5) If I open a raw image from Windows Explorer or Bridge (which I don't use much), Camera Raw 4.6 opens. It doesn't open if I Edit In Photoshop CS3 from Lightroom, but says "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 5.5 for full compatibility. Camera Raw version 4.6 is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3".
    There are two choices: Render using Lightroom and Open Anyway. If I say the former, it doesn't use the file name, but does something like -2.tif.
    I'm not sure what these two choices actually do.
    Secondly, if things were working properly, would Lightroom actually open the Camera Raw window? If so, is there anything I can do short of upgrading PS to CS4?
    Thanks.

    Just a little history of the profiles being displayed for your camera model. The camera calibration tab only displays the profiles that are specific to your camera and model. The earler profiles were named after the version of ACR that was in use when they were created.
    So.
    ACR 4.2 the first profile created for your camera model when support was introduced.
    ACR 4.4, Adobe created/ updated new profiles for most of the supported camera models with this release of ACR.
    Adobe Standard Beta, updated profile when the Beta of ACR 5.0 and LR 2.0 were introduced.
    Adobe Standard, Updated profile for the final release of ACR 5.0 and LR 2.0. This then is the latest profile created for your camera model. I think it should be the closest to your camera standard.
    Adobe did not create any other camera matching profiles Vivid, Neutral etc other than for the more popular Nikon and Canon models.  I have an Olympus so I am in the same boat.

  • How do I transfer photoshop cs3 from my mac powerbook to my macbook air?

    How do I transfer my photoshop cs3 from my mac powerbook to my macbook air?

    Download the Trial version to the MacBook Air from
    http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links won't work.
    Then launch the Trial and enter your CS3 serial number and you're done.
    That'll use up your second (of 2) activation. If you want to remove Photoshop CS3 from the Powerbook then open Photoshop Help > Deactivate then uninstall to free up an activation.

  • Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop CS3 Extended?

    For better integration with FCP, which one is better: Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop CS3 Extended?

    Actually I want to know in what ways Photoshop works with FCP. < </div>
    FCP will import PSDs in at least two different ways. The choice is project- or needs-based, not function-based.
    Are the video editing functions of Photoshop Extended redundant when one has FCP? < </div>
    Nope. That's rather like asking since you can review/delete photos on your camera, do you still need Photoshop.
    But we're starting to get a feel for where you're coming from, which would have helped tremendously in the first post.

  • How can i istall the photocd plugin of photoshop CS3 to photoshop cs4 under windows7?

    How can i istall the photocd plugin of photoshop CS3 to photoshop cs4 under windows7?
    i had no problem to install under windows XP, but i do not know how and where to install the windows profiles and i am not sure, if i habe just ro move the .8bi file to the directory plugins/file formats.
    can anyone, please, explain me how to install the plugin into the 64bit and 32bit versions of photoshop cs4 under windows7?

    Thanks for the response. Photomerge.jsx, and stack scripts only are in the scripts folder. However, I had to put them in there from cs3. Now I can get the photomerge window to open (still the cs3 version) but after I select the photos and hit ok nothing happens. I have been comparing the presets in cs3 to see what I am missing in cs4, but I cant find the missing files.

  • Can I update to Photoshop CS5 from Photoshop 5.0 LE

    Can I update to Photoshop CS5 from Photoshop 5.0 LE

    Umm, no. That is an hoplessly out of date software that no longer qualifies for any upgrade pricing. if there ever was, it probably would have qualified up to CS2 or something like that... You will have to buy a completely new license and the current version is CS6, not CS5.

  • Converting to Photoshop CC from Photoshop CS6

    If I convert to Photoshop CC from Photoshop CS6 will I have to uninstall the CS6 version or could it continue to run alongside CC?

    If you want it can stay installed. It is installed in a separate folder, so they do not affect each other.

  • MDG-F 7.0 Multiple Editions with same valid from date

    It appears that we are dis-allowed to create more than two editions with same valid from date in MDG-F 7.0.
    that tells me that i should be extremely careful of creating an edition with valid from date because once created, I have to group all financial master data change requests effecitve on the same date into this edition. If I am missing one in first place and later on I find one that should be also valid from the same date after Edition is released, there is no way I can catch up by creating another edition with the same valid from date. Correct?
    Should I create Edition with replication time option 2 - approval of change request then to avoid?
    Thanks,
    LUO

    Hi Luo.
    your finding is unfortunately not correct. It is true that there might be only one open edition for a specific valid from date. Nevertheless, if you release this edition, you can create another edition using the same date.
    Best regards

  • Help with printing projects from photoshop elements

    I have been trying for a few days now to print a project from my elements 6 program and the colors are way off. I just recently got a new printer, Epson artisan 837. I didn't have this problem with my last printer. The printer prints normal from other programs, and I've tried a ton of different printing settings and I still can't get it. Help please.

    In Editor, go to Edit menu>color settings
    Check "Always Optimize Colors for Computer Screens".
    In the printer settings, check Printer Manages Colors.
    The point is that you don't want both PSE and the printer to manage colors.

    Thanks for the info. I don't have any plan to have them both in my programs, i am just curious about the PSE7. Im stick to my PSCS3. So, is the best thing i can do is to uninstall both and then reinstall my PSCS3?

  • How can I combine animation from Flash with a video from Photoshop to make a movie?

    I have a project that's due tomorrow. I had to create a motion tween and animation and record a video to put in it, which I have done both already. My question here is, how can I combine my animation from flash and my video from Photoshop to make it into one movie?

    No, I am saying that this isn't the forum for help with that. This forum is for Firefox user support, and the helpers in this forum aren't versed in development issues like that - we're volunteers, not Mozilla developers and don't work for Mozilla. You are better off asking about that in a forum where other web site developers do support.

  • Photoshop CS3 versus Photoshop CS4

    Hi
    I have Lightroom 2.3
    Photoshop CS3
    Mac OS X 10.5.6.
    After editing Photo in Lightroom my transfer to CS3 came up with the following message:
    "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 5.3 for full compatibility.
    Camera Raw version 4.6. is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3.  If raw file support for your camera was introduced after Camera aw 4.6., the Photoshop integration features in Lightroom require CS4 and the latest Camera Raw version 5 plug-in.
    The version of the Camera Raw plug-in currently installed is 4_6."
    Unfortunately I partially read this message. and
    Immediately downloaded camera raw 5_3. - Thus was unable to install the newly downloaded camera raw 5_3.  However I installed the camera profiles ( not related to my Nikon D80).
    1.  Should I uninstall the camera profiles?  if so How to?
    2.  Do Photoshop CS3 users have to continue work /edit photos with less up-to date  perhaps lack of Camera Raw developments?
    thank you

    The highest version of Adobe Camera Raw that will work with CS3 is ACR 4.6, which is incompatible with the raw conversion engine used in Lightroom 2.3.  There is nothing you can do about that other than upgrading to CS4.
    The functionality of ACR 5.3 is so far superior to ACR 4.6 that the upgrade to CS4 is a no-brainer.  Really.

    If they really got installed, you can locate them and put them in the trash.
    HardDrive/ Library/ Application Support/ Adobe/ Camera Raw/ Camera Profiles/ …
    *NOTE: That is your ROOT LEVEL Library, not your User Library,

    Yes.  That's why I wrote that the upgrade to CS4 is a no-brainer.
