HELP WITH CS3 VERSION AND WINDOWS 8.1

I have just purchased Photoshop CS3 on Ebay.  Unfortunately, I had no idea that it might not be compatible with windows 8.1.  Before I open the package and have no way to return this product, can anyone tell me if they have been successful in uploading this program with Windows 8.1.  I did find Adobe note saying that there were no known major issues ... but have read some other reviews that conflict with this information.  Thanks so much for any help you could pass on.  I do not want to "pay as you go" month to month for Photoshop ... would rather own an older version I am quite happy with.  Thanks

Ok it's like the serial number model in that you download the actual Photoshop programs to your PC (you can install on up to two PCs or Macs for your own use).  But instead of a serial number, you set up a recurring charge account, and you sign in to activate the program.
Your work can be saved anywhere on your computer just like the older serial number type. You keep your files even if you discontinue the subscription. Your files can still be opened by other programs, but if there was a feature exclusive to CC or CC 2014 you won't be able to edit it. But to answer your questions your files stay with you, Adobe doesn't see or possess any copies.
If you decide to stay on, what you get is upgrades and new versions as soon as they are released. No more upgrade fees. You get the Extended version of Photoshop with 3D and video editing features. Not bad for $10 a month.
You do get cloud storage, but only 2 GB and nothing goes there unless you upload it.
Think of it as a holding place for the files you wish to share with others.
You can get Bridge CC with the latest Adobe Camera Raw, and Lightroom for managing and editing large amounts of digital Photos.
Typekit if you want to add new fonts.
That's the short story, here are the ddetails and of course you can try before you buy.
Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud
If you are heavy into Design, you might want the full Creative Cloud for $50/month with all the web, video, and publishing tools you want.

So check it out and see what you think.

  • Help with JPCSC linux and windows inconsistency!

    I created a smart card with a single EF file.
    I set the access condition for reading/updating the said binary file to require a key.
    In GSM 11.11 specs this means:
    VERIFY_CHV must be sent first before READ_BINARY or UPDATE_BINARY. Otherwise, a '9804' response (access condition not fulfilled) is returned when performing READ_BINARY or UPDATE_BINARY.
    When running my code in Windows (jpcsc.dll), it works as expected but when I run my code in linux (libjpcsc.so), it hangs. Why??
    Here is an APDU trace:

  • Need help with an Aforge and windows forms memory stack-up issue

    Hello,
    I am experiencing a strange memory stack-up in my c# windows form program that occurs all the time on slow PCs, and when the windows form loses focus or is otherwise interrupted on faster PCs.
    The program I have written uses Aforge to get images from my webcam, which I then display in an Aforge picturebox control (CurrImagePic in code) in the windows form.  The images are switched into the picture box and then disposed at the camera's native
    framerate, so it appears as video to the user, not still images.  The picture box is 1080x1920, but the space for it in the form is smaller and so I allow the user to scroll around the picture.
    After about ~30 seconds of memory-stable operation on slower PCs, the problem begins.  On faster PCs, the problem only occurs when holding down scroll bar arrows or clicking and dragging around either scroll bar, and if I lock the PC or bring up the
    Ctrl+Alt+Delete menu.
    The problem itself is that memory used by the program starts to increase in very large chunks, leading to an out of memory crash.  This is unstoppable on slower PCs, but on the faster PCs if you stop scrolling or return from the lock/Ctrl+alt+delete
    menu, the program stabilizes at the higher memory usage level.  The memory that was accrued during scrolling or while in the lock menu is never collected by the garbage collector.  I've even tried to put in a button that forces a GC.collect() when
    pressed, and it does not reduce this memory usage.
    I've run perfmon and found that the memory increase is on the unmanaged heap, but I don't know if it's coming from bitmaps which are not being disposed or what it could be from.  It's been impossible to track down since it does not occur except in the
    above conditions.  I've tried various solutions (like moving my image processing out of the event handler and even using both global flags and a "lock" statement to try and ensure that only one thread or frame can access the image processing
    and displaying method at at time, but I have seen no change.  In fact, I am now seeing some unexplained small jumps in memory usage that I wasn't seeing before I put in the lock and moved the processing out of the handler.
    Has anyone run into situations like this?  I am at a loss for what I need to fix.  I think the problem is based around my Aforge event handler and image processing method if it is in my code at all - but I also have a suspicion that this is something
    deeper in the windows form code that I am either misusing or that can't keep up with the demands of my code.  Code below:
    //Applicable Globals to this code snippet
    private bool ALLOWFRAME = true;
    private Object FRAMEKEY = new Object();
    private VideoCaptureDevice COMPVID;
    private Bitmap TMPLTCAP;
    private System.Drawing.Image OLDIMAGE;
    private bool RCRDPIC = false;
    private void COMPVID_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
    //Only process a frame when another is done processing
    if (ALLOWFRAME == true)
    ALLOWFRAME = false;
    Bitmap PassFrame = AForge.Imaging.Image.Clone(eventArgs.Frame);
    ProcessFrame(PassFrame);
    PassFrame.Dispose();
    private void ProcessFrame(Bitmap frameIn)
    lock (FRAMEKEY)
    if (OLDIMAGE != null) { OLDIMAGE.Dispose(); }
    //Call comparison method if flag is set.
    if (COMPON == true)
    Difference TmpltFilter = new Difference(TMPLTCAP);
    TmpltFilter.ApplyInPlace(frameIn);
    OLDIMAGE = CurrImagePic.Image;
    CurrImagePic.Image = AForge.Imaging.Image.Clone(frameIn);
    OLDIMAGE.Dispose();
    else
    OLDIMAGE = CurrImagePic.Image;
    CurrImagePic.Image = AForge.Imaging.Image.Clone(frameIn);
    OLDIMAGE.Dispose();
    //Toggle the flag back to false to show it's safe (i.e., comparisons have stopped)
    //for the result-recording method to copy from the picture box if it is attempting to copy
    if (RCRDPIC == true)
    RCRDPIC = false;
    ALLOWFRAME = true;

    As you are using third party tools and controls, and I cannot find posts on parallel cases using native VS controls, have you asked in the Aforge forums about your memory issue?

    Are these versions correct? I've looked at numerous notes and they seem ok.
    We've tested and almost all features are working. We did not install saphostagent and i was told by SAP it is absolutely required for NW7.11.
    If we decide not to install the hostagents at our current version, would all RCA functionality work?
    Thanks and appreciate your assistance on this.

  • Problems with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi all
    I need help with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7.
    During the installation I'm asked to locate the file AdobePDF.dll on the disk. Selected the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64.
    The installation finishes without any other problem.
    The problem arises when I want to create a pdf from a Word document. I'm using Office 2007. When I select he option to create a pdf from a file, I get message in the attached image.
    If I try to used the Adobe PDF printer from within Word, nothing happes. The small printer icon apprears in the Windows task bar, but that is all. If I double click on the icon, I can see the print job, but that's all. There is no dialog box that asks me to save the file.
    Assistance will be apppreciated.

    Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win7, particularly the x64 version. If you got the installation to go, the first step is to update AA8 to at least AA8.2. The x64 with XP required at least AA8.2 and I suspect that has not changed. I would suggest updating to the latest, either from the help menu (until no more updates are available) or by downloading the updates from the adobe.com>downloads page. For the latter, download ALL updates after your current version and install them in ORDER. They are not cummulative in most cases. You only need to reboot after the final update. The updates may get you going. If not, you may simply have to upgrade to AA9 or search for what others have been able to do in your situation.

    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)

  • Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies.  How do I reverse this?

    Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies.  How do I reverse this?

    Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
    What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
    Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
    It makes no difference at all.
    How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
    You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
    Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size. 
    HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
    I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
    Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
    You're somewhat confused and you need to
    1. Decide what exactly you want to do
    2. Then go about it.
    If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do -  the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
    You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto
    Regards

  • Bootcamp support drivers "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running"

    Hi,
    I've searched everywhere I can think of for a solution to this problem with no success. I see other people have reported similar issues and these have not yet been resolved.
    I have installed Windows 7 32 bit on a new Mac Mini under Bootcamp. When I go to install the Bootcamp drivers in Windows, I get the message "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running". 
    Other people have reported this issue when trying to install 3rd party software on a 64 bit version of windows but I'm simply trying to install the Bootcamp drivers on a 32 bit version of Windows.
    Is it possible the Mac Mini needs a 64 bit version of Windows installed under Bootcamp? I haven't seen this requirement mentioned anywhere.
    Appreciated all and any help that can be offered.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's because the Late 2012 iMac and Mac mini only supports the 64-bit Windows 7 version, so the drivers you downloaded are designed to work with the 64-bit version and you can't install them on a 32-bit version. Install the 64-bit Windows 7 on your computer

  • Windows desktop application -- version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running

    I am developing on 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise using VisualStudio 2013.  I created a new Windows desktop VB.net application and just created a release build of the default solution/project targeting "Any CPU".  I provided the EXE to a
    colleague who is also running 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise but receives the following error...
    "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.  Check your computer's system information to see
    whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
    I changed the build configuration to create a "x86" build but my colleague received the same error.  Any ideas why this would be happening (I checked and my colleague has .Net4 Framework installed as well)?  Thank you for your time and

    Hi sunisha,
    According to your description, you'd like to run the application in your colleague's computer.
    I provided the EXE to a colleague who is also running 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise but receives the following error...
    If you want to test the application, you could provide the whole Debug folder to colleague instead of the single exe.
    "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
    Check if the collegue's computer is running 64-bit windows:
    Enter Control Panel, click on System and Security.
    Under this, you can view the system type. This will describe whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit.
    You can also try compatiblity mode.
    If the program is not compatible, then you may try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
    Use the following steps:
    1)   Right click on the Program
    2)   Click on Properties
    3)   Click on Compatibility tab
    4)   Select Run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever operating system the program was running successfully.
    And if you still have questions, I suggest you deploy the application to the Local Network with clickOnce, then your collegue can install the application from the network.
    #ClickOnce deployment
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t71a733d(VS.80).aspx
    And also, you could recreate a new small application in your computer in Any CPU, then check if this small new application can work well in your colleague's computer. This can judge if the problem is caused by your application.
    If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

    Hi @OHIMATAS,
    I see by your post that you are unable to network the printer to the Windows XP computer, but the Windows 7 computer is connected. I can help you with this.
    Make sure the Windows XP computer is connected to the correct network name, not a Guest network either.
    Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
    Printing a Configuration Page.
    Try and access the printer's Embedded Web Server on the Windows XP computer.
    Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
    Did it load the webpage?
    If you can't access the printer's EWS, then check the IP address on the computer to see if the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer's IP. They have to match to be on the same network.
    Go to start, type run in the search box, type in cmd, then type ipconfig.
    Check the IPV4 address.
    Now check the IPV4 address for the printer.
    Do the first 3 sets of numbers match?
    Try and ping the printer.
    In the same window, type ping printers IP address (space between ping and IP address)
    What are the results?
    Run the add printer wizard through printers and faxes, if you were able to access the printer's EWS.
    Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.

  • Help with colour profiles and wide gamut monitor

    Hi there,
    I know this issue must crop up a lot due to its confusing nature but I would really appreciate it if someone could explain what settings I should be using in Photoshop to get accurate colours. I had a look around and couldn't find any other discussions that answered this exactly.
    My set up is a Dell 2408WFP monitor which is wide-gamut. I have calibrated this using a huey Pro calibrator (therefore have an accurate system colour profile). My photos are in Canon sRGB space, set by Digital Photo Professional (obviously easily changed if need be).
    What I would like is to be able to preview what my photos will look like on a standard sRGB display. When I open a photo in Photoshop with all the settings on their default it looks extremely washed out, very low contrast and saturation. This is nothing like what the photos look like outside of Photoshop, and also not what the photos look like on other (normal gamut) displays. I have tried using the "proof colours" settings. When I have "proof setup" set to Internet Standard sRGB the colours look dreadful, oranges become blood-red, definitely not what I am getting when I view the image on a standard monitor. If I have it set to Monitor RGB then I get colours that look like my monitor outside of Photoshop -- this is the closest out of the three to the result I am actually getting on standard gamut displays. However I know it is not accurate because I know my monitor is wide gamut and therefore more has more contrast (and this is the case).
    So what combination of photo colour space, proof colour space, and proof colours settings should I be using? My main priority is just the Joe Average using his TN panel monitor on facebook, I accept that on my monitor they will look slightly different. Settings for print don't concern me at the moment.
    Thanks for the help. To anyone who will suggest that I read up on colour profiles... I have, and I understand them to an extent, but there are so many variables here that I am getting lost (monitor profile, photo profile, photoshop settings, DPP settings, faststone viewer's settings, browser's lack of awareness...)

    You have no idea. 
    What I'm reading is that you want Photoshop, with its color management enabled, to display your sRGB photos as they would be seen on a true sRGB monitor - i.e., accurately.
    Something to always keep in mind, when everything's set right and working properly:  Your sRGB image displayed on your wide gamut monitor without color management (e.g., by Internet Explorer) will look bolder and brighter (more color-saturated) than the same image displayed in Photoshop with color-management.  There is no getting around this, because the sRGB profile is not equivalent to the monitor profile.  Do not expect them to look the same.
    It's hard, without being there and seeing what you're seeing, to judge whether your sRGB images are undersaturated compared to what's seen on other monitors.  I do know, as one with sRGB monitors myself, that images can look quite vibrant and alive in the sRGB color space.
    What we can't know is whether your judgment that your color-managed sRGB images are undersaturated is correct in an absolute sense, or whether you're just feeling the difference between seeing them on your monitor in non-color-managed apps and Photoshop.
    Photoshop normally does its color management like this:  It combines the information from the color profile in your document with the color profile of the monitor, which it retrieves from a standard place in Windows, and creates a transform used to display the colors.
    To have it do this you would NOT want the Proof Colors setting enabled.  It is the default behavior.
    -Noel
    P.S., I don't recall whether DPP is color-managed, but you might consider using Photoshop's raw converter, which definitely shows color-managed output, per the settings I described above.
    P.P.S.,  Your calibrator/profiler should have put the monitor profile in the proper place and set all the proper stuff up in Windows.  Is it specifically listed as compatible with the version of Windows you're running?
