Lightroom 2 Photoshop CS3 error

I was peviously using this combo and it worked. I have just bought LR2 and uninstalled LR 2 beta and LR1.
Now when I try to edit an image from Lightroom the usual dialogue box opens, asking if I want to save a copy with adjustments etc, then an error box:
Lightroom
bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)
However, if I select edit in photoshop.exe (ctrl + alt + e)
it seems to work sometimes. Whats up here?

Photoshop CS3 error saving files - Could not save ... because the fileis already in use or was left

I have a problem with Adobe Photoshop CS3 that only started happening last night. Heres a description of the problem.
When I try and save a Photoshop file, I get the following error message:-
Could not save (filename). because the file is already in use or was left open
I have rebooted my computer, rebooted our server, un-installed & reinstalled Photoshop and also done a system restore, and I still have the problem. (The system restore actually caused huge problems I got the error message The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support, except I wasnt able to reinstall or uninstall the product. The computer just would not run the installer. I had to undo the system restore.)
I can do Save For Web with no trouble and I can save files to the same location with every other Adobe product installed in the Web bundle, just not Photoshop.
We have 2 machines here with an identical set up (hardware and software) and the problem is only on one machine.
Even though Photoshop says it cant save the file, its actually saving the file in the following format:-
~psX.tmp where X is a random variable, either characters or numbers.
I have to manually open My Documents and rename the file to filename.psd so I can access it again.
Short of reformatting my computer (which Im not keen on doing because it will mean several wasted work hours and I will have to pay our IT people to come in and hook me back up to our network), how can this problem be fixed?
I have also Googled the problem and the only help I found was a suggestion to search for a psicon.dll file and rename it. This file does not appear anywhere on my system, so I'm at a loss.
I have contacted support about this issue, but thought it was also worth while to ask here at the same time.

I'm having similar problems with not being able to save files after editing them (and giving them a new file-name, obviously) in Photoshop Elements 4.0. I get an error message saying (for instance): "Could not save as (whatever I'm trying to name the file) because the file is already in use or was left open". Then I see a .tmp file (that I can't open)
I did a search and found that the file was being saved twice, once within Photoshop (where I'm working with it) and also in..
"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\Temporary"
I'm assuming this is the problem, but if you have any clue as to why is this happening and what I can do about it, I'd welcome any input. I've been using PSE-4.0 for years, and this problem just started cropping up. The only (cumbersome) way around this problem has been to just make my edits (in PSE-4.0) and do a "save" under the original file name, then go into explorer and rename the file. So, in short, I cannot do what I've been doing for years, editing a picture and saving it (renamed) in the sane folder (or a different one).
I can "see" the .tmp files in PSE-4.0, but they won't open.. but they will in JASC.. odd..
Thanks-
Bob

Lightroom, Photoshop CS3 and Smart Objects

Is there a way to select a raw file in Lightroom and choose to have it open in
Photoshop CS3 as a smart object, or can this only be done thru ACR? I've looked
over v1.1 and didn't notice this as an option.

If I want to do any editing not allowed to smart objects such as clone stamp I can then create a layer and then apply the clone stamp to the layer, can't I?
And that is where the underlying Smart Object starts losing (some of) its usefulness.
Because all those edits will be unaffected if you should choose to change the development settings of the embedded RAW.
Secondly, should I also convert all layers to smart layers or leave them as a normal layer.
What for?
Unless you want to non-destructively apply transformations or Filters or need several instances of something in one file it would mainly cause a drag on performance. (Edit: or bloat the files’s size)
But in those cases Smart Objects offer significant advantages.

Photoshop CS3 - error console warning on opening

Hi, I am working on a Mac book pro. I have recently noticed a warning message coming up on console messages when I open Photoshop, or indeed any of my adobe programmes. Part of the message that shows is detailed below. Please can anybody advise what is causing this. Have the programmes been corrupted in some way? Is Class EpicController part of the software? the message then repeats with Class EpicJSWindowExternalHandler and Class EpicWizardController
12/03/2009 09:20:47 [0x0-0x1d01d].com.adobe.Photoshop[151] objc[151]: Class EpicController is implemented in both /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3.app/Contents/Frameworks/adobe_personalization.framework/adobe_personalization and /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3.app/Contents/Frameworks/adobe_registration.framework/adobe_registration. Using implementation from /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Adobe Photoshop CS3.app/Contents/Frameworks/adobe_registration.framework/adobe_registration.
Any help with this, gratefully received - Thanks

Someone else reported this recently.
It is apparently a false message (caused by an error in OSX) and can safely be ignored.

PLEASE HELP! Photoshop CS3 Error code

My photoshop out of the blue just stopped working. It goes go to the loading part, then it finishes loading. Stays there for like 5 seconds then it crashes.
Adobe Fireworks works perfect, however photoshop doesn't anymore.
Please help, this is urgent as I use photoshop daily.
I deleted the preferences. Held shift, del and ctrl and deleted the settings. but still nothing. I renamed the "twain32" and still nothing.
This is the error information
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name:    APPCRASH

Additional Information 4:    875fa2ef9d2bdca96466e8af55d1ae6e
PLEASE HELP!

A quick google returned:
The problem is that there's no such module as "StackHash_1703", so this appears to be some special case in Windows. I tried turning off antivirus and enabling compatibility mode, but the application still would not work.
The problem was that I had DEP (Data Execution Protection) enabled. For whatever reason, the error message gave me the AppCrash error above instead of the standard message about "DEP has closed the program."
To solve the problem, I added the application to the DEP exclusion list and everything worked again.

Attatched is a picture of the message it shows.

Also, try running the CS3 Clean Script

By the way, try using JPG or PNG/GIF next time, BMP files are too large for the internet

Photoshop CS3 doesn't open or error occurs, when you Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Lightroom 2

Problem: When you try to Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, Photoshop CS3 doesn't open, or after Photoshop opens, you see the error message, "Photoshop could not be launched".
This issue is currently being investigated. At present, there are two possible areas that might be causing this issue. Corrupted metadata or a corrupted catalog, or Photoshop CS3 has not been updated to 10.0.1, or the update did not apply correctly to the application.
We are working for a permanent solution for this issue.
Workaround: Please refer to this Adobe
TechNote for further information.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 MSI Error

Hello,
I have been getting the wierd error when I try to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 using the MSI package that I created.
Could not write value data to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\Handshake\{GUID}. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personel.
This error happens regardless of who is trying to install the MSI pacakage (regular account or Administrator). I even tried to give explicit permission to the regkey, however OS prevents me to do so. I would really appreciate if any of you have seen this error and guide me.
Thank you in advance.
Dipu

"using the MSI package that I created."
Have you tried installing without that, it may be a problem there.
"regular account or Administrator"
Have you tried creating a new account or using the actual 'Administrator' account (not an account with Administrative permissions)?

Error message when installing Photoshop CS3?

I downloaded Photoshop CS3 from the Adobe website. I am installing it on my iMac OS 10.8.5. The installation starts then a message comes on "Setup has encountered and error and cannot continue"
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello Jeff,
What I had was the Original CS package, but when I upgraded the OS, none of the apps work anymore. So, I uninstalled it. I have Photoshop CS3 on my office computer, which it still allows me more more installation.
So I downloaded it, but when I click on Setup App to install, it starts and then the message appears.
Thank you!

Photoshop CS3 Program Error

Since upgrading to Leopard I run Photoshop CS3 and I get a programming error message. I say OK and continue working. It also happens when I use the text tool.
Anyone else? Solutions?

Hello,
First try emptying your cache in your home directory folder (Home>Library>Caches). Trash everything located in the folder except the folder itself. Quit Photoshop if open and try again.
If that does not work, try deleting the preference file(s) for Photoshop (make sure Photoshop is closed).
If the above did not work at all, then I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop CS3.
I hope this helps!
Jason
