Lightromm 2.4 + Photoshop CS3 + NAS file save problems

I'm not sure if this has been asked before (I couldn't find it when I looked...) but I have the following problem.
I have a folder of JPG files on a NAS drive ( I'm using a Mac OSX 10.5.7 )
When I have Lightroom open I can't then edit and save the images. I have tried opening them from within Lightroom and get a file may be in use error when I try and save it. I have tried opening them via finder with CS3 and get the same error when I try and save them. If I then close lightroom it all works fine.
If I open a raw file from within Lightroom (also on the NAS) and save it Lightroom creates a PSD file (as i have asked it to do) and saves it without a problem. If I then go back to re-edit the PSD file and save it I get the same file may be in use error and can't save my changes. Again, if I close Lightroom I can then edit and save the file without a problem.
For some reason it looks as though lightroom locks all the files in the catalog that are stored on the NAS even when they are not being edited......
Any help gratefully received !!

It'll be no surprise to you to learn that LR isn't designed to work on networks. AFAIK, the workaround is as you've found: Quit LR, and the .lock is removed. I suppose you could delete the .lock file and keep LR open, but I can't recommend that.

Opening Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2 (Mac Tiger 10.411)

Is it possible to open Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2? After I created them in Photoshop CS3 I reset the preferences to maximize compatibility "always", then I resaved all the psd files. Do you think this will work? I have to open them in CS2 tomorrow at work...

Also, some old features may have changed in the new version. Specifically, I had some CS3 files from a client that had smart objects that did not open correctly in CS2.
As I recall, CS2 was able to open a flattened version of the file, just not fully layered with smart objects.
I actually had CS3 on my laptop, just not on the tower I wanted to work on, so I opened the files on the laptop, rasterized the smart objects, and saved. After this, CS2 opened the files with layers.

Photoshop CS3 has encounted a problem

I installed CS3 under my Administrator username. If I start PS CS3 extended under a different username login, the program starts OK, but will not open any files except camera raw files. The program displays the message "Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to shut down...". Even if I save a camera raw image into a psd file when logged in under the different username, I cannot open that file when logged in under the different username.
My question is: Is this normal behavior?
My systems is:
Dell M6300, XP Pro SP3, 3GB ram, 72.3GB free disk space, PhotoShop CS3 extended Version 10.0.1

Well, but are your user priviliges set correctly? If you add users post-creation of a folder/ file, they will never inherit any info about that user, thus operating on such directories does fail. The only exception is, when you log on the first time on a freshly created user account, but even then it will only affect user directories and standard system directories. Also remember that to actually do some work you have at least to be a Power User or otherwise you may not have permission to read and write any files, regardless of their location.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 had encountered a problem V10.0.0.0

Photoshop V10.0.0 will not open. It crashes as its loading the Twain drivers at start up. I am running Windows XP.
I've tried deleting the preferences file, reloading Photoshop and, as a desperate measure, deleting and reloading CS3. Nothing has worked. I tried upgrading photoshop but still no luck. Set my default printer to PDF, still nothing. Disabled my firewall, still nothing.....
The worst bit is its been working quite happily since June 07 and then in late Nov early Dec it decided not to work. I also had a printer problem during this time and reinstalled the printer software, but photoshop wasn't working before I did that.
The error I get is:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close
Error signature App Name: photoshop.exe
AppVer 10.0.0.0
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.4
Any assistance would be great - I am getting desperate!

When I uninstalled my Dell 944 printer Photoshop worked. When I reloaded my printer it crashed again. It seems to crash everytime it loads the TWAIN part of the photoshop opening screen.
I've tried downloading and installing the latest driver from Dell for the printer but its 2005 and the same as the one I have so no luck there.
I still need my printer to work (its my scanner as well) but I am desperate to get Photoshop back! Any clues??

Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem...

Well, I've spent 2 days trying to fix this issue on my own, it's time for me to reach out and find out if anyone out there can help me! I can open a Photoshop image fine, but when I try to open a 2nd image (which I almost always do), I get an error message that says Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and has to shut down. This is disastrous, I can't do my work! I have Windows XP, and last week a technician loaded Microsoft Expression Web 3 on my computer... as far as I know, that's the only thing that has changed. Photoshop worked fine last week, but it was probably before Expression Web was installed. He also has to install Framework.net, he said when he tried to install Expression Web, he got a message saying he needed to install Framework.net first... I have no idea what version of that I have, don't even know what it is. I didn't look over his shoulder as he was installing... he did say that Expression specified an older version of Framework.net, but I don't remember what version.
I'm concerned that maybe what he installed caused some kind of incompatibility, I know that I'm a couple of versions behind with CS3. If that's the case, I have to beg and plead my management for an upgrade, but I have to research this first. Can anyone help me?

How are you opening the second file? Using the File-Open dialog?
I ask because Microsoft Expression Web is supposed to deliver a codec that understands how to make thumbnails for .psd files, and since an Explorer-like window is involved with File-Open, I put two and two together and it seems that the codec might not be playing well with Adobe's File-Open dialog.
It's been a long, long while but I have a distant memory that there's a way to have Photoshop use an alternate File-Open dialog, or at least there once was... I think it was a button at the lower left of the File-Open dialog. Try changing that.

PDF 'File Save' problem in Firefox

Using Firefox browser, when I select a PDF file that opens in a new window [rather than a new tab], save it and close the window, the AcroRD32.exe process is not stopped. If I then open another PDF file in a similar manner, it can not be saved. Each time you close a PDF window, you have to go to Task Manager and stop the AcroRD32 process before being abl;e to save a subsequent document. This does not happen with IE.
Using Reader 10.1.1 and Firefox 8 on a Windows Vista32 system.

Same bug i see in Opera browser. PDFs doesn't saves without stopping AcroRd32 process. And save dialogue doesn't appears when clicking links (even if web browsing function deactivated in adobe reader settings)...
Apart from this File Save problem, there is more strange things while browsing PDF online, like "blinks", hangs, image dissapear, suddenly lags without any reason, browser crashing and more...
So, because adobe reader prevents to download PDFs, and because it works very buggy with online browsing, especially if website uses adobe flash to show PDFs, the only right solution i found is uninstalling adobe reader. After that File Save problem was gone!

Photoshop CS3 won't save files as ".png"?

I have the same problem as the creator of this thread...
http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080417004746AAjYbui
...except, his solution did not work for me. In Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Mac, I cannot "Save For Web". The button is there, but it is disabled for some reason...
I have the image in RGB Mode as everyone says it should, and have kept it in 8bt resolution. I can save everything as ".psd", ".jpg", and many other files - but not ".png". It simply does not appear in the drop-down menu when I select "File - Save As".
Also, people have mentioned an "Alpha layer" or "Alpha channel", but I do not know what those are.
Please advise on how I can fix this without having to reinstall, if possible.
Thanks!

Photoshop CS3 color management "Save for Web" problem

This problem is getting the best of me.......
After spending 3 full days researching this problem, I am no closer to finding an answer than when I started. I still cannot produce a usable image through the "Save for Web" feature of Photoshop CS3. I have read web page after web page of "Tips, Tricks and Recommendations" from dozens of experts, some from this forum, and still I have no solution... I am exhausted and frustrated to say the least. Here's the simple facts that I know at this point.
I have a web design project that was started in PS CS1. All artwork was created in photoshop and exported to JPG format by using "Save for Web". Every image displays correctly in these browsers (Safari, Camino, FireFox and even Internet Explorer on a PC).
I have recently upgraded to PS CS3 and now cannot get any newly JPG'd image to display correctly. My original settings in CS1 were of no concern to me at the time, because it always just worked, and so I do not know what they were. I have opened a few of my previous images in CS3 and found that sRGB-2.1 displays them more or less accurately. I am using sRGB 2.1 working space. Upon openning these previous image files, I get the "Missing Profile" message and of course I select "Leave as is. Do Not color manage". CS3 assumes sRGB-2.1 working space, opens the file, and all is well.
The problem is when I go to "Save for Web", the saturation goes up, and the colors change. The opposite of what most people are reporting. Here's another important point... new artwork created in CS3 does exactly the same thing, so it's not because of the older CS1 files.
I have tried every combination of "uncompensated color", "Convert to sRGB", "ICC Profile", etc. while saving. I have Converted to sRGB before saving, and my monitor is calibrated correctly.
I have tried setting the "Save for Web" page on 2-up and the "original" on the left is already color shifted before I even hit the "Save" button. Of course, the "Optimized" image on the right looks perfect because I am cheating by selecting the "Use Document Color Profile" item. Why do they even have this feature if doesn't work, or misleads you?
Does anyone have any ideas what could be happening here? Why is this all so screwed up?
CS1 worked fine out of the box.
Final note: I do have an image file I could send along that demonstrates how it is possible to display an image exactly the same in all 4 of the browsers I mentioned with no color differences. It is untagged RGB and somehow it just works.
I am very frustrated with all of this and any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks,
Pete

>> First of all... I'm using an Adobe RGB image master... I open it and get the Profile Mismatch Screen... I choose Use Enbedded profile... all looks well. Next I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... again all looks well, no change that I can tell.
This has further confused the issue on several points, not the least of which version PS you are doing this with?
>> AdobeRGB> Convert to Profile > Working Space sRGB-2.1... all still looks well... but now, when I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... I see the insane oversaturated look that is driving me nuts.
That is your strongest clue...it sounds like you have a bad system or bad monitor profile. To rule out the monitor profile: Set sRGB as your monitor profile in System Prefs> Displays> Color.
>> Adobe RGB image master... I open it and get the Profile Mismatch Screen... I choose Use Enbedded profile... all looks well. Next I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... again all looks well
That doesn't make sense, stripping an embedded AdobeRGB profile should desaturate the color in Softproof MonitorRGB, especially the reds -- you have something wacky going on there.
At this point I think you need to review the links and get a grip about how color management and profiles work...
BTW, forget about setting ColorSync in PS COlor Settings, use Adobe ACE.
MO,
I think SFW is fixed under CS3 :) By default it Converts to sRGB and strips the profile.

Photoshop CS3 - Opening File - Toolbar Freezes

Hi,
I have Photoshop CS3 on a Mac OS X. When I open Photoshop, click File > Open, then click on the image I want to open, Photoshop opens the image but everything is greyed out. I can click on the side tool bars and they are no longer greyed out but the top bar freezes. The "file" tab stays highlighted. I can close the image, but I can not close the program. The entire bar across the top is frozen. I can edit the photo but since the tool bar is frozen I can not save the file.If I navigate to a different program, such as Firefox, the frozen Photoshop tool bar stays at the top of the screen. I can not restart or shut down my computer becase the tool bar is covered up by the Photoshop tool bar.
Also I have the installion CD. When I try to reinstall it ask me to "Relocate". It will not let me click on the installion CD. I can not get pasted this step or I would just reinstall CS3.
Is there anything I can do about this problem?
Thanks for you help!
Kristen

Ok, I think I found a little work around that so far, for the past hour or so is working good. Files are opening up a lot faster.
What I did was create a virtual default printer following instructions I found Adobe's site...
1. Open System Preferences, and select Print & Fax.
2. Choose the + sign to add a new printer.
3. Choose IP.
4. In the Protocol pop-up menu, choose Line Printer Daemon - LPD.
5. In the Address field, type in localhost.
6. After Generic PostScript printer displays in the Print Using field, click Add.
7. Close out of the Print & Fax preference or Quit System Preferences.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html
Once I did all that, I had to go into the Preferences and delete the Photoshop and Mediabrowser preferenses and then restart the computer. Hopefully this fix sticks, but if not, I'm sure I'll back to see if anybody has any other ideas.
Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it.
EDIT
Well, it's been a few days and it looks like I may have spoke too soon on the above fix. Photoshop seems to be slowly reverting back to the problem.

Photoshop CS3 crashing on Save in Mac OS X

just wondering if anyone else has encountered the following. My non Intel Mac G5 tower (running OS X 10.4.11) will crash every time I have begun a Save in Photoshop and then type a keyboard shortcut for any other function (eg. resize window) while the save is in progress.
Force quitting simply doesn't work and I am indeed forced to shut down the computer manually with the tower's power button and then reboot.
This never happened before to me with any other versions of Photoshop or OS and does not do this on my Mac Intel laptop.
Again, has anyone else encountered this and/or come up with a fix (besides consciously sitting on ones hands until the Save operation is completed)?

I am getting a crash every time I try and save a file in Photoshop CS3 in 10.5.1 on a Dual 2.7 G5 with 5.5 GB of RAM. On smaller files I can do a save for web and that works fine, but every time I try and do a save Photoshop instantly crashes.
I have my latest crash report.

Photoshop CS3 crashes on "save as" command

Hi all,
I'm running Photoshop CS 3 edition on Leopard. Photoshop crashes every time I try to "save as". Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have 2 gigs of ram on a new iMac.
Thanks,
John

I too am having the same issue with Photoshop CS3 crashing everytime I SAVE or SAVE AS, and when I choose File>open while the programs is running.
I am running
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Mac Book Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB RAM
I had been running the program successfully for over six months until a couple days ago.
I have verified/repaired permissions, reinstalled the entire Creative Suite, trashed preferences and reduced memory usage all with no luck.

Photoshop CS3 crashing on Save for Web & Devices

I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS3 crashing every time I use the "Save for Web & Devices" option. It allows me to open the dialog box and configure my file, but as soon as I click Save, it crashes. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, how did you resolve it?

Then manually remove the prefs by reading this:

Photoshop CS3 opening files painfully slow on a Mac

We're having an issue here at work where Photoshop CS3 is very slow in opening files of any size on our Macs.
We're running 10.5.8 on 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon MacPros with 3 of them having 8 gigs of ram and my machine running 12 gigs.
I've tried doing a bunch of research on the issue, but all I can find about it has to do with the issue on a Windows machine involving the network/default printers. I've tried deleting both our network printers and adding them again after a restart with no luck. We've even tried deleting the Photoshop preference file along with the Adobe Mediabrowser preference.
If anybody has any thoughts on how to fix this (aside from upgrading to a newer CS), they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Photoshop CS3 Trial then Code problem

I downloaded the trial of Photoshop CS3 and it ran out. My college passed out Adobe Suite and I installed it. Now I can't run photoshop at all because it won't take my serial and won't be deleted so I can reinstall. I ran the suite disk and I can't uninstall Photoshop and it won't let me reinstall it.
Any help is much appreciated.

Routine maintenance is imperative.
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.

Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

Lightromm 2.4 + Photoshop CS3 + NAS file save problems
