How to read/open Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp

In which Programming language Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp are written?
Extend Toolscript wont open and in text edit is just cryptic hireoglyphs.
Thans in advance!

I for one have a totally legitimate reason for editing a PSP file. We have deployed CS3 to thousands of nodes across our campus, and the behavior of the scratch disk just made my jaw drop in horror (not to mention the sporadic way the PSP file is created and modified). NONE of our users (except admins) have access to the root of the C:\, yet it will only write to the root of a partition! I have found that the setting is stored in a PSP file, and I am in the middle of writing a 50+ (and growing) line VBScript to essentially create an X:\ to point to C:\temp and change the setting in the PSP file. However, I cannot figure out how this file works. The setting that points the scratch disk to C:\ does not exist in the file unless I have had PS open for a period of time.
Adobe's biggest customers are institutions like ours and I cannot believe this issue went over Adobe's head in testing and QA.
I did however, get a kick out of the dozens of instances of the string "loob".

    You would have to find some third party vendor and take your chances there.  Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

  • How to install adobe photoshop cs3 dvd

       How do I install Adobe Photoshop CS3 DVD to my computer  windows 7  I put the DVD in and nothing comes up to install it

    Hi mvigus,
    If the installer doesn't start automatically (you don't see the autoplay screen), navigate to the contents of your disc in Windows Explorer. Double-click the setup.exe file. Ensure that you are logged in as the administrator of your computer. Also, after the installation is complete, run the software with administrator permissions.
    Let me know if this helped.
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop CS5 Prefs.psp

    I deleted the Adobe Photoshop CS5 Prefs.psp file from the user Library.  How do I get it back?  I did this because upon quitting Photoshop, before I deleted the Prefs.psp file, a window appears that read:
    "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders." 
    I found that the file is not locked. No check in the box for locking that file.  Compounding this problem is the fact that Apple has hidden the user Library, so the back-up files on my computer don't show the Library and I don't know how to get the Adobe CS5 Prefs.psp file from my backed up files.
    I have the Photoshop CS5 CD but before I reinstall I need to know the procedure to uninstall. 
    Any help would be appreciated.

    After deleting Adobe Preferences files new ones (with the default settings) should be created when starting the program. (edited)
    How do I get it back?
    It it’s still in the trashcan you could move it back, but if it’s corrupted that may be useless.
    Should you never have saved your custom presets they might be lost.

    rebel1568,
    All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC.  You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
    CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop.  You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
    Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines.  You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
    Of course, you could run your Windows  on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.

    If from disc, you'll need to connect an external disc drive via USB to the Surface.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 crashing at open file screen

    Hi all
    I've searched online but can't find a relative discussion or solution.
    I have Adobe Photoshop CS3. My system is Windows 7 and it's 64-bit (that's about as far as my hardware/technical knowledge goes...).
    The problem has only started happening today. Open PS, and go to FILE>OPEN. A sub screen is opened. On the left of this sub-screen are a variety of short cut locations such as 'My Documents', 'My Pictures' and 'My Computer'. Clicking on any of these shortcut tabs results in PS crashing.
    The only thing I can think of that has changed since the last time I used PS CS3 on my machine (and I use it daily) is the following:
    Installed trial version of Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014
    From this, to watch a Flash video of AutoCAD demo I had to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (it was 2011 I believe).
    Following the CS3 crashing problems I uninstalled Flash player and re-started but still no luck.
    Have not touched AutoCAD yet.
    Any thoughts / comments? My company is looking to invest in AutoCAD so CS3 will need to learn to live alongside AutoCAD (IF AutoCAD is the problem, but I think this is unlikely).
    Let me know what you all think!
    Thanks
    David

    Thanks for all the replies.
    We (myself and our company IT guy) just tried several of the above, plus some other things.
    1. Shift/ctl/alt reset preferences. Did not solve the problem.
    2. Video driver upgrade. Did not solve the problem.
    3. Complete reinstall of CS3. Did not solve the problem.
    4. Install old video driver (apparently this solved a similar problem in another area of the company). Did not solve the problem.
    5. System rollback/restore (to 20-11-2013 settings). PROBLEM SOLVED!
    We have a suspicion therefore that the Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014 may be something to do with it. We will find out later/tomorrow as I need to get some stuff done in CS3 now (can't afford more lost time!).
    Will update once we have reinstalled AutoCAD LT 2014 as to whether this changed anything.
    Thanks again
    David

  • How do you open adobe reader docs from a cd-rom

    How do I open Adobe PDF doc from a cd-rom

    Yes, I recently bought a book with a cd-rom with it that has documents on the cd that I can copy and use for my students and use as assessments. When I load the cd-rom, it opens up in adobe acrobat reader window and it has on the upper right hand side TOOLS COMMENT SIGN . The doc's are highlighted in blue but I cant click on them because it either gives me this selection only; Seltct Tool, Marquee Zoom, Hand Tool. It will not allow me to just left click and print doc. Top menu has File, Edit, View, Window, Help and the usual zoom 100% or 150% . and the print icon is visable but it will prunt the the page not the specific document I want. It has convert files to PDF on line and convert files to Microsoft word online, sign in doc, So what is it that need to open the documents and just print?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

    I recently purchased a new desktop computer and installed Adobe CS3 Master Edition on it and I get the following error:
    Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Out of the entire suite of tools only Photoshop will not launch. The weird thing is i also had the same Adobe programs installed on my laptop and I have not made any installation updates to that machine and i am getting the same error. I have always installed the same software on my two home machines with no problem until now. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended installed but not working

    Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended was added to my computer when I bought it in Thailand.
    Now (I am no longer in Thailand) I want to use it but I can't seem to open/do anything.
    Even when asking for help with the 'Help' button it states that "There was an error in initializing the Adobe Help application. You may need to re-install the applicaiton and the Help componen".
    How do I do this? Or am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Haha... I like the honesty!
    I was in bad need for a computer and went to one of those fancy, big shopping malls recommended to me by a couple of friends. I didn't even know I had Adobe Photoshop until today. I am not sure I really got screwed or things just work differently. The computer is a little strange... (I can write in Thai สกร่ฟส กส่ฟกส า่ฟส ่ if I would like to) but so far it's ben okay.
    Anyways, what would you suggest I do Mylenium?

    Rosetta can have a 2GB RAM "tax" to manage PowerPC code as well as how that affects performance.
    I think real world performance shows both statements to be wrong; consider this:
    If that were the case, how come Apple does not include that information in its Snow Leopard installation requirements, since Rosetta is an optional install?
    Also, running a PowerPC app on an 2011 i7 Mac with Snow Leopard will run faster than running that PowerPC app on a PowerPC Mac.

  • "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3″ a JPEG?

    Hey, I have a problem: when I try to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3″, and select "Edit a Copy" It doesnt open in Photoshop CS3 a .PSD file: it opens a .JPG file.
    I'm viewing an JPEG, and I have selected to copy as PSD.
    Is that ok? Comments? Thanks!

    > I have a problem: when I try to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3″, and select "Edit a Copy" It doesnt open in Photoshop CS3 a .PSD file: it opens a .JPG file.
    To my way of thinking, this is correct behavior. When it's opened in PS, it *is* a JPEG to start with. You do your edits, then you SAVE as whatever you want. If you want it back to a JPEG, Save as, otherwise, you can save as PSD or TIFF and you won't have lost anything due to re-compression.
    Converting a JPEG to PSD only to open it immediately in PS does nothing positive, and is just an extra step.
