Is it still possible to buy Photoshop CS3 Extended?

I first learned Photoshop on this version as a student back in 2008 and after seeing newer versions I still prefer this older one. Does Adobe still sell CS3? There are copies on Amazon for ~ $2,000 which 1) is crazy for an outdated program and 2) I want to make sure I have a legitimate copy.

Do the post-CS6 versions still *look* like CS6? Because that layout and workspace drove me absolutely nuts. I could never find anything and the tools seemed so vague.
I'm totally confoozled
There's only one "post CS6" version - CC.
But as far as layouts go...
Here's CS3 on my XP machine:
CS6 on my Win 8 machine:
SAME layout, but for a few minor details.

  • Is it still possible to buy version 3?

    Hi,
    I've been testing out Audition5.5 and it seems so that it really screws up the workflows we've used with version 3.
    For example, the Export Multitrack doesn't remember its settings anymore as it did with version 3. Every time I export I have to change settings in couple of dialogs and popups which is very annoying.
    Is it still possible to buy version 3?

    When commercial users buy software, it's quite common to get only one physical copy but licence it to have it used by as many people at the same time as they need.  The number of concurrent users they licence for is the number of "seats".
    When the company I worked for about 12 years ago got a contract to provide radio news to a group of clients, we bought a particular brand of software (alas, not Cool Edit--I lost that battle because CEP wasn't as clever as we needed in a network environment) and had only one disk of the programme but licenced it for 7 seats (2 self op studios plus 5 work stations for the journalists to edit their own stories).

  • Is it still possible to buy a linux version of apple shake ? if yes how much does it cost

    Hi,
    is it still possible to buy a apple shake license for linux platform ?
    If yes how much does it cost and where do i get one.
    Thanks in advance

    Shake is dead, morte, EOL, fini, done. Apple came, saw, conquered and left the arena and pulled the plug leaving you SOL.
    fwiw - Shake 4 still runs on current OSX versions ( or so I have been informed by knowledgeable sources ...)

  • Upgrade Educational  Photoshop Cs3 Extended

    Hi everybody. I'm an italian student and two years ago I bought a license for Adobe Photoshop Cs3 Extended, the educational version.
    I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade my version of Adobe Photoshop Cs3 to the educational version of Adobe Photoshop Cs5 Extended.
    Many thanks,
    Daniele Nazzari

    I was wondering that myself. I don't think you can; at least I can't find the option in the education store. I think you will need to buy the new version, which as far as I can see is priced for students at exactly the price the upgrade would be for non educational users. So if you are in education you pay the normal upgrade price, but for the whole programme. I suppose if they offered the upgrade at the educational discount they would be giving it away for next to nothing.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial

    Hi guys, I've recently downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. When I select the trial period for 30 days instead of buying the product, it says that Adobe cannot continue and it's having trouble loading the trial. I reinstalled it and restarted my computer, like it said, and nothing worked. Please help, I cannot afford Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended right now, and I do not support piracy at all.

    I've tried to install the program from a different directory, I think my windows installer is crashing every time i try to install it, maybe I find a working hotfix for it.
    I followed these steps when i tried to install ps:
    http://666kb.com/i/b1qwvm0mq1zs8iekm.jpg
    First I downloaded it to C:~~/Downloads (1.)
    Then I extracted this file to C:~/Desktop (2.)
    Afterwards I got these files (3.)
    After clicking on setup.exe this window (4.) appears and disappears right after

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended Activation Problem

    Hi all, hoping someone can help me.
    I have a legitimate hard copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended which was only recently taken out of its sealed package.
    On installing and trying to activate I get an error. Now i am left with a window telling me "Registration Unsuccessful"
    Any ideas how i can go about solving this? I legally own this copy and I need to use it and can't do with it deactivating.
    Thanks in advance for any help given. It's very much appreciated!

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended error on load

    Photoshop CS3 Extended
    Windows 7 with all updates current
    Error message on load 'could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error'
    I'm running:
    intel core i5
    16 GB RAM
    148 GB free on drive C
    698 GB free on Drive D
    465 GB free on drive E
    465 GB free on drive F
    2 DVD-R drives
    All updates to Photoshop were installed last time I ran it with no problems.
    No new hardware has been installed since.
    Installed Classic Shell since last use, so I uninstalled it but the error persists.
    Installed Diet Tracker but they don't interfere with each on on the system at home so I know there's no problem there.
    Nothing else installed except Windows updates.
    I tried restoring back to the last time I used it . . . still got the error, so undid the restore.
    I tried repairing Photoshop . . . no change.
    I uninstalled Photoshop, rebooted, installed Photoshop. it loaded slower then and the last thing I saw load was plugins then something about Python and then the error again.
    When I try to open the program, it goes so fast that I can't see what's loaded and where it stops now.
    I searched for like problems . . . found one that they found was caused by a sound driver on an ASUS board but it was different.  I tried rolling back the sound driver anyway and it didn't fix it so  I updated it again.  There was a reference to check the Event Viewer which I know nothing about but I tried it anyway . . . found nothing.
    Any help will be appreciated or if you know a way to debug the load or slow it down to see what it's trying to load please clue me in.  Thank you for any help.

    O, OK . . . didn't solve the problem anyway.  I am sorry I can't figure this out on my own instead of taking up everyone else's time.  Downloading and installing 12.6
    New driver installed but this did not resolve problem;  still getting the error message when trying to load the program
    FIRST!!!  I want to thank everyone for your help . . .
    While waiting for another idea, out of casual curiosity because I hate Win 7, I right clicked the ocn for PS and checked the list of options.  Since this was a reinstall, I clicked on the Troubleshoot Compatibility out of curiosity . . . got a choice to Try recommened settings or Troubleshoot programs;  I clicked on the 'Try recommended settings' . . . it came up with recommendation of XP Pro setting and I clicked on it and up came PS and installed some more stuff.
    I am sure this can't be the right answer or it would have never worked in the original install, but it worked for the re-install and that gets me up and running for the time being . . . now to further test and make sure it's working right.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended

    I have just installed Photoshop CS3 extended from my CS# Master Collection CD and I am not able to see my raw images from my Canon 40D camera. Can anyone help me with this. I have loaded the camera raw files 4.3.1 upgrade and I still can't see the images in Bridge. The error I get is Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

    So you have admin rights on the computer.
    When you installed CS3, from the CD, did you run the set up as admin? Least for Vista and Windows 7 the screen should dim and a pop up window asks you (if your logged on the computer as administrator) if you want to run the set up (or something along that nature). You choose yes and the software will run as administrator
    Also when you first ran CS3 did you open the .exe propertise, compatibility and check Rrun this program as an administrator? That has to be done too.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended crashes on MacBookPro

    Photoshop CS3 Extended crashes on MacBookPro
    I'm working on a MacBookPro Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM OSX 10.5.2 Eng
    The software is Photoshop Extended 10.0.1 and a Creative Suite 3 standard is also installed (Photshop is not installed because I've already had the extended version, both english versions)
    Photoshop crashes very often and it doesn't save in psd file format. In that case the message is 'Could not save 'xxx' because there are too many files open. Try closing some windows and try again.'
    When I choose New Document an error appear 'Can't read the document presets file.
    When I choose a new Workspace the error is ' The command "Select" is not currently available'
    Can't work!...any suggestions?

    Giuseppi,
    Some followup thoughts...
    25GB scratch disk is quite small. RAM may not have changed, but it's possible it's not seated correctly or that it is not working properly.
    Booting off your System disk's Disk Utility and then booting off the DiskWarrior disk and running repairs should be standard/routine maintenance, and should be run anytime your system is not "quite right". And they should be run immediately before any system or application updates. And then repeat Disk Utility right after.
    Most of us cannot read crash logs.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

    I installed the CS3 Master Collection that included Photoshop CS3 Extended. I've used Photoshop for going on a decade and I find the CTRL+ALT+I keyboard shortcut really handly to pop open the Image Size window.
    Now, in this new version (don't after a clean format, reinstall of my XP OS) the shortcut no longer works. I check and it still has CTRL+ALT+I listed next to Image Size in the drop down menu as the proper keys, but it does not work.
    Anyone having this issue?

    I tried resetting the preferences but to no avail.
    I'm avoiding having to do an uninstall/reinstall like the plague so If I can find what's causing it and fix it manually that would be preferred.
    I have thought about running the Adobe updater but I'm concerned that it may cause more problems that it would fix (as this has happed to me before with other apps). Everything else works great and this is the only issue I've noticed.
    Does anyone know if the update for Photoshop CS3 Extended addressed his issue (or knows of another cause that might be behind it)?

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended "Not Responding" after selecting horizontal type tool.

    Hello,
    When I start my PhotoShop CS3 Extended v10.0 and load up a jpg and
    then zoom in and go select the horizontal type tool and click on my
    jpg, PS just freezes and then I click the main screen and then it
    tells me infinetly that it has "Stop Responding"
    I am running Win XP Pro SP2 (2600) 2GB DDR, ample HD space, Intel Core
    Duo processor 1.66GHz.
    Can some one tell me whats going on?

    I have deleted the pref file vie the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod.
    It still won't load up.
    How did I get to the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod?
    Good question..... I right clicked the .exe icon and selected
    Run as , Current User and --> Unchecked <-- "Protect computer and data
    from unauthorized program activity"
    And SP started up with no problems.
    BTW I wasn't being sarcastic with my last post as I see you used
    all Caps in your reply which on the internet is considerd yelling.
    If I had something sarcastic to say i would put in quotes "said with
    a sarcastic tone", but i did not. I was mearly implying what the words
    ment. I say what I mean and I mean what I say, period. Thanks for your help BTW and for now that problem still remains when clicking
    the .exe file. Nothing has changed other then I can start PS when
    following the directions I have stated here in this reply.
    What are your opinions on this?
    I would love to hear your thoughts.

  • 3d options missing in Photoshop cs3 extended

  • Cannot Activate Photoshop CS3 Extended???

    Hi,
    I cannot activate my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, after coming across a previous thread regarding this issue (Re: CS3 Retail Box. Key Won't Work) I contacted support but after 3 representatives they all claim to not be able to validate the keys (despite one still being in use on my wife's laptop!). I just want to deactivate the keys from the previous 2 PCs so I can install them on my newer machines, my old pc has been formatted without deactivation so I cannot do it myself and I am scared to deactivate the other copy as It seems I will not receive any support in reactivating it.
    Here is a complete conversation with one of the 3 support representatives I have spoken to regarding this issue:
    Thank you for contacting Adobe.
    A representative will be with you shortly.
    Thank you for your patience.
    While you wait, you can try our community forums where experts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
    You are now chatting with Vijet.
    Vijet: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
    mike stripling: Hi, I have here 2 keys for Adobe Photoshop CS3 extended edition which are telling me there is too many activations on them
    Vijet: Hi Mike,In order to assist you in a better way can i have your Name your Email id and your Phone number please.
    mike stripling: one of them was on a pc which has been formatted without deactivation and the other is on my wife's laptop which also needs deactivation as that will be formatted soon
    mike stripling: Mike Stripling, [email protected] and I'm not sure which phone number it would be under
    mike stripling: (it was registered 7 years ago)
    mike stripling: I have spoken to two previous representatives who claim my keys are not valid yet after downloading cs3 from your website instead of installing from a disc it says for both keys that there are too many pcs using them at the moment
    Vijet: Can you please provide me with the Serial Number for your Photoshop CS 3
    mike stripling: [removed] & [removed]
    mike stripling: Your previous representatives claimed this did not show on their system
    mike stripling: but when I put it in photoshop it claims there are too many pcs using those keys
    mike stripling: I can screenshot this if necessary
    Vijet: Sorry to say Mike but the Serial Number you are giving me are invalid one's.
    mike stripling: No they are not.
    mike stripling: Why else would I get a big green tick and a page showing 'too many activations'
    Vijet: Please allow me a moment while I look into your account and see why are you having this issue.
    mike stripling: Ok.
    mike stripling: I also found this support thread with your adobe staff responses on this issue which may be relevant: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491813
    mike stripling: "CS3 can not be activated any more as it is end of life product, you can contact Adobe Support at Adobe - Contact Support – Download and Installation to know how to proceed for it & know about the options if there are any. Regards Rajshree"
    Vijet: The serial number you are giving me are not the valid one,i have looked into my resources.
    mike stripling: https://i.imgur.com/GRdHQmc.png
    mike stripling: then why do I get this?
    Vijet: May be Mike the Photoshop we are talking about is CS 2 not CS 3?
    mike stripling: the screenshot I just linked is cs3 and the disc with the serial numbers, box etc all says adobe photoshop cs3 extended
    Vijet: Because end of life of the product you are saying it's for CS 2 products not for the CS 3.
    mike stripling: your staff post says cs3 as well
    mike stripling: clearly stated in this thread https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491813
    Vijet: Allow me a minute let me look into it.
    Vijet: From where did you purchased it?
    mike stripling: It was years ago, but I believe amazon or something
    mike stripling: I don't have the purchase order saved, who would save that for 7 years? :S
    Vijet: Sorry to say Mike i wont be able to help you with this.

    i am not an adobe employe and not an adobe spokesperson.
    but my guess is it appears to adobe as if those keys have been 'hacked'.  ie, published somewhere publically, used by others and are now blacklisted.
