Lightroom 2.3 with CS4 (want to downgrade to CS3)

I use many third-party plug-ins with CS3 Photoshop. Unfortunately, only a few are compatible with CS4 Photoshop. Therefore, I need to defer using CS4.
When I start LR and want to continue edits of an image with Photoshop, it goes to my CS4 installation. I don't see anywhere to modify it.
How do I get to point back to CS3 Photoshop?
Thanks.

A couple things to try that are not as direct as you would like:
1) Start up whatever version of Photoshop you want LR to use before you use Edit In and it may find that and use it. This works for getting LR to use the 32-bit of CS4 over the 64-bit version of CS4, at least.
2) Rename CS3's Photoshop.exe as PhotoshopCS3.exe (or whatever you like that is different than Photoshop.exe) then define PhotoshopCS3.exe as a third-party Editor for Edit In, and use Edit In PhotoshopCS3.exe when you want to use CS3 instead of CS4. Of course this will render the file as a TIF or PSD before opening PS because LR assumes a third-party editor can't use ACR5 to open the image on the way in.

Anyone with CS4 that can convert a file to CS3 for me?

Hey All,
I'm using cs5.5 to design something for work, however my work uses cs3.... i only just learned that indesign isn't backwards compatible. Any chance anyone with cs4 can export to a cs3 file for me?
would greatly appreciate it!
cheers

InDesign is not forwards compatible: any version of it cannot read files created with newer ones.
That's nothing to be amazed about. Most software is not forwards compatible, I only know of one exception, and that is Microsoft Word.
InDesign is backwards compatible all the way to CS (v.3) at least -- the modern vsns of InDesign should still be able to read those files.

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac

Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom

I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom 5, now when I try to register I am asked for the original licence/serial number. Where do I go from here??????

If you upgraded from 3.6 to 5 (you didn't indicate buying 4.4) then you will need the serial number from 3.6 in order to be able to use 5. If you did not keep a record of it there is a chance it might be available thru your Adobe account online, but if not, there is likely not much you can do except to return the upgrade and purchase a full version. Try contacting support using chat and explain your situation to see if they can help.

If you did purchase 4.4 then that should be sufficient to use to activate 5.
I can never be sure what goes on with Lightroom, and the Adobe site (even when it works properly) makes finding information about products difficult these days so I am at a loss to confirm anything I say.

I'm really disappointed with iOS6. I want to downgrade to iOS5.1.1.

I'm really disappointed with iOS6. I want to downgrade to iOS5.1.1.

Hopefully it isn't too late for this but: before performing an update it is really best if you close all apps (double click the home button, click and hold on one of the apps that appears at the bottom of the phone until the red minus sign appears and then tap the minus sign until all apps are closed) and then turn the phone off by holding the standby button until the slider saying "slide to power off" appears and slide it to turn the phone off. Then turn the phone back on and hook it up to your computer to sync and perform the upgrade. This also helps if you do this before performing syncs too. I had problems with an iPod previously where it would fail to backup before sync most times, but have never had a problem with updates or syncs since I started performing this procedure. Unfortunately, your pre-update backup may have failed and the data in your apps might be gone, but you could try to restore your phone. If I remember correctly how to do this, you connect it to your computer and check for updates. It should say you're up to date, but have an option to restore the phone. If it does, I'd try that. It may also have a "restore from backup" option you could try.

I am watching a Creative Live Lightroom Crash Course with Jared Platt and Matt Kloskowski. They mentioned that Lightroom CC was available. I went to your site and clicked on it, but the download was for Lightroom 6. What is going on? I wanted Lightroo

Yes, it looks like they've screwed up. Some people have been able to update CC to LR6, some people get half way through the download and it fails, some people (me included don't get any option to upgrade to LR6 in the CC app... It's all very annoying. I tried the help chat, and I got "log out of the CC and try again in 2-3 hours". Well, that was half an hour ago, but I'm not holding my breath for getting LR6 today.

Installed CS6 trial but still want to open with CS4

I recently installed InDesign CS6 (Windows) as a trial, but I still want InDesign CS4 to be the default for opening documents. However, when I go to the Open As menu, ID CS4 does not appear. When I browse through Program Files and select C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\InDesign.exe, it points me to ID CS6. Which is incredibly annoying, since the program I selected was Definitely not CS6.
So is there a way to force Windows to associate indd files with CS4 instead of CS6 without uninstalling the trial?

You can edit the registry manually (there are directions in some other threads here, if you search), but that will cause trouble when you start working in CS6 since all of the new files will open with "Missing Plugin" errors that cannot be resolved since CS4 can't open files from anything newer.
I open the correct application first, then use File > Open... instead of trying to use a double-click, but you can purchase the Soxy plugin from Rorohiko.com which will intercept the open commands and automatically use the version from which the file was saved if it is installed.

i want to downgrade my 2011 mac mini server to mac os x i have the disks but the mini willl not reboot the apple changing to a circle with a line please help-

bpruse, I may be completely off-track for your issue, but I had a similar situation where I wanted to downgrade a Mac Pro from Server to plain OS X and it would not boot from the OS X install disk.
I was attempting to use a full-install OS X.6.x disc with an earlier SL version than that which originally came installed on the Mac Pro. After two or three hours of fiddling, I figured it out and used the discs that came with the system.
However, I don't know how that would work in your case if this is the mini server-version. I'm sure the disks would only have Server on them. Worse-case scenario, find out which X.6.x the OEM disc is installing and get an OS X disc with a new installer.
HTH.

That is another problem not related to the Mac OS X version you are trying to use.
Three beeps at startup means you have a bad ram module in the computer. Did you install the ram or did it come from another owner this way? The first problem you need to solve is the bad ram.
When the iMac starts, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Memory and see what the report is on the memory...does the iMac report all memory modules that have been installed as OK or does it show bad memory? If there is not any information, you then need to remove the memory modules and restart one at a time to see which is bad.
On the bottom of the screen there should be a small door that you can remove with a small screw driver. You need to lay the iMac flat, disconnect the power cord, remove that small door and remove the memory modules. You can then put two in (if it has four) and see if it starts without the beeps. Do that with each module so you find out which is bad. Once you know the bad memory, you can buy a new module, just like the ones installed, so the iMac starts without the beeps.
Next, you cannot use a DVD for another computer for your iMac unless it is from one that is identical to yours. So, you need to talk to Apple and have them send the DVD for your particular iMac.

I need help with storage.    5 GB are free.   So iCloud sends an email that I need more.   So I purchase 20GB and now I want to downgrade back to the 5GB.   I can check the 5GB box, but no DONE button appears.   Anyone have an answer?

I have CS4 Photoshop on my iMac with Mavericks. I am going to upgrade to Yosemite, and don't think it is compatible with CS4. Do I get the full Photoshop CC version for $9.99 a month, or do I need to buy any additional things?

Thanks, I was thinking so. I installed my CS4 from a CD in 2008, and it looks like Adobe has taken another approach to selling their products. I'll be downloading CC Photoshop a little later today.

I have an iPad Air and want to downgrade to iOS 7. How does this work?

iOS 8.1 is really slow on my iPad Air so i want to downgrade to iOS 7.
What should i do?

Since you can't go backwards to an earlier iOS ... what you should do is reset your iPad to factory default by your iTunes program. Don't forget to do your backups!

I want to downgrade from my iPhone!!

I have an iphone 4 and want to downgrade to a regular phone that will only allow talk and text. I know it is not time for me to upgrade yet, but I need to know if I can just downgrade now without having to pay any fees?? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

If you are talking about re-activating a phone you already have on the line with the iPhone, yes you can do that. There are no fees to switch from phone to phone.

robmac76 wrote:

Yes:
Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
That's it!
So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
This document gives location:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
Which OS?
If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).
