LR Cannot Find CS3

For some unexplainable reason, LR [both 1.x & 2.0 Beta] cannot see CS3 as the primary editor. I loaded it as the "other" editor, but not the primary. I never noticed how LR found the CS3 in the first place and cannot find any tool that will let me specify where it is.
Probably a case of "right in front of my nose" but there you go. Help!!
Mel

The last thing we should have to do is uninstall and re-install any program. If Lightroom is only looking at a registry key to determine the path to Photoshop and you can specify a second external editor by program path, why not make them both the same; in other words put a command button in the "Edit in Photoshop CS3" in the "External Editing" tab in Preference window. The suggested command button would only be visible if Lightroom could not find Photoshop, and it could have a piece of explanatory text next to it, such as telling the user that it could not find Photoshop in the default install path etc etc.

Cannot find CS3 Web Premium disks - do I have to go illegal ?

Hi Folks
I walked into B&H NY, bought an upgrade to CS3 Web Premium (from CS2 suite), and took it back home. Before insatlling it I emailed myself the license keys.
Now, several new computers and several old computer deactivations and crashes later, I needed to reinstall, could not find the original disks so downloaded PS from the Adobe site.
Photoshop CS3 won't recognize my CS3 Web Premium serial !
Adobe support says I need to reinstall the whole suite. There is no download for Web Premium.
I'm seriously angry. I am thinking of dumping the whole activation crap and downloading a pirate version, or even regressing to a pirate version of CS1.
I don't feel comfortable stealing, but although Adobe has confirmed that my serial number is valid they cannot offer me a way to get what I paid for working again.
Edmund

Edmund,
On behalf of Adobe ...
(1) I assume that what you are telling us is that you lost the original disk for your upgrade copy of CS3 Web Premium but you do have the serial number (
not keys).
(2) You also didn't bother to register the CS3 product.
(3) Please call
Adobe Customer Support (not
Adobe Technical Support!) and advise them of the situation of your lost disks. You may be asked to provide some proof of purchase, such as a receipt from B&H showing the item in question. (Note that B&H is closed this week for Passover, but should be open again on Monday!) As Bob Levine indicated, Customer Support should be able to supply you with replacement media for a shipping and handling fee. If you have any problems with the representative you are speaking with, please ask to speak with a Customer Support supervisor and make sure they give you a "case number." If you still have problems, please contact me off-forum directly and I'll see what I can do to assist from Adobe San Jose.
(4) For better or worse, the individual Adobe products have different installers and serial numbers than the suites. That's why you cannot install a downloaded trial copy of Photoshop 10 using a CS3 serial number.
(5) It will certainly not help your case if you start threatening to use pirated software when discussing your problem with Adobe Customer Support. The fact is that YOU lost your disks; Adobe did not cause that problem. But Adobe can make replacement disks available to you if you cooperate. In the future, please register your product ASAP upon initial product installation. You don't have to mail anything in; the product can self register via the internet - all you need to do is provide minimal contact information. One of the main reasons for the registration process is to assist customers when disks are lost, upgrades are required, etc.

Cannot find photos opened from iPhoto 8 in CS3 and saved as TIFF

When I open JPEG files in iPhoto Library, edit them in CS3 and save them as TIFFs, I cannot find the edited file either by searching in iPhoto Library or looking at the files on the hard drive. What am I doing wrong?

Since you do not say how you are doing this I can only guess
If you are opening the files directly from the iPhoto library rather than using iPhoto with CS3 as the external editor then you re doing it wrong
If you are "saving as" in to the iPhoto library then you are doing it wrong
You should either export the photos you want to edit to a folder outside the iPhoto library, edit and save somewhere - maybe into that folder or some place else outside the iPhoto library and import to the iPhoto library by dragging the edited photos to the iPhoto icon in the dock
OR
Set CS3 as the iPhoto external editor, select the photo you want to edit in iPhoto and click edit - do your editing and save (not "save as") to place the photo back in the iPhoto database and update the thumbnail - not sure if this will works for TIFFs or not - I have only done it with JPGs

Cannot Find Download links for CS3

We purchased CS3 several years ago. Now that we have a new computer we need to install it, however, I cannot find the download links anywhere. I have our serial number. The person on chat said this in no longer available and we have to upgrade to CS6 or CC. Is this true? I sure hope not. We are not ready and I would like to use the software we have paid for. Please if anyone knows where we can find a valid link to download CS3 please let us know.
Thanks

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Cannot install CS3 on my new computer

hi, i cannot install CS3 on my new computer due to the fact that i did not deactivate is on my old laptop. to which i dont have acces any more.. can anyone help finding a solution?

Have you tried installing it or are you just assuming you cannot. You are normally allowed to install and activate on two machines.
You will need to contact Adobe support thru chat in order to get assistance with deactivating the inaccessible installation. For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro: Cannot find or create the font 'Arial'.

I have two workstations both running Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro, both have the font Arial installed and working just fine in other applications.
I have a pdf file from a customer which opens fine in one workstation, the other workstation gives the following error and shows all text in the pdf as "dots".
Cannot find or create the font 'Arial'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
I've Googled "Cannot find or create the font" and find this problem has been reported in Adobe forums and elsewhere in several previous versions of Adobe Acrobat. Nowhere is the problem resolved... most responses suggest the font Arial is not installed which is not helpful as the Arial font is indeed working fine in other applications.
Windows XP/ Adobe CS3 / Adobe 8.1.2 Professional
Thanks,
SC

I am having the same problem Sam is. I only see dots in my document and received the same error mesage only I was using a different font. The font is installed on y system and usable in other documents.
I tried to change the font (dots) to a different font but received an error messge stating the change could not be done because the "chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved"
Please help!
Thanks so much!

I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS. I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS. I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

You would need at least CS3 with ACR 4.6 to natively edit NEFs from a D90 in PS:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
It might also work to use the DNG Converter 4.6 or newer to convert the NEF files to DNGs and then those might open in your older CS2 ACR, but I’m not sure, since it’s a 9 year old program I haven’t used in years.
The DNG Converter can be found, here:

Cannot open CS3 bridge

When I click on the bridge i
con in CS3, nothing happens.
I have a bridge shortcut on my desktop.
I can open Bridge from that, then when I select
a file to open in cs3 I get an error message that says
"windows cannot find F:\programfiles\adobe\adobephotoshopcs3\photoshop.exe"
There is no F drive on my computer. Can anyone help with this problem.

Try this.
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Username]\Application Data\Adobe\ and rename the 'Adobe Photoshop CS3' folder to 'Adobe Photoshop CS3_OLD'.
At the same location, rename the 'Bridge CS3' folder to 'Bridge CS3_OLD'. Now, hold down the CTRL key as you launch Bridge. It will prompt you to reset few setttings. Check all those boxes and click OK. Now, see how that works for you.
If this does not work, you may have to uninstall and reinstall CS3. I guess.

Cannot reinstall CS3 on Windows 7 after Acrobat update

I, like so many others, cannot reinstall CS3 on Windows 7. CS3 stopped working after I updated Acrobat (which I now wish I hadn't done), it was working fine for months previously. I got the 'needs uninstall/reinstall' error.
I am reinstalling from files saved on my computer, not DVD. I tried every solution I could find online (the cleanscript, deactivating firewall, deactivating UAC, uninstalling google desktop, registering jscript.dll) Doing a clean Windows reinstall is not an option I'm willing to try. I tried chatting with customer service, who couldn't help me and referred me to the phone technical support. I tried that and the tech guy told me CS3 is no longer supported, so he couldn't help me, unless of course I wanted to pay a $50 fee). I can get Acrobat Pro and shared components to install, but all other components fail.
Is it just me, or is it mightily suspicious that this happens to so many other people? I'm willing to bet that Adobe engineers their updates to 'fail' older versions figuring we'll eventually give up trying to fix it and eventually just upgrade. Adobe- you sold me a license with no expiration date. Why not eliminate all the subterfuge and start selling 5yr licenses?

This just happened to me tonight.   Acrobat requested an update. I said YES, update now. And now my CS3 Web Premium doesn't work. I should have known.
I've tried everything. Adobe cleaners, licence tools, renaming folders (flex_something folder), resetting folder permissions (Adobe PCD), start services > flex_something, etc.   Can't get anything to work.
Something like this happens about every 6 months or so. Takes me 3 days to get it running again. Man, I'm exhausted trying to keep this software running.
What gives?   Any advise?

The Creative clouds says I have Photoshop downloaded but I cannot find it help.

I downloaded Photoshop but then I had I dumped it in the trash, but now I'm trying to get it again and the creative cloud says I have it installed but I cannot find it anywhere. So please help.

Maybe this can help.

If things are really missing, you may try the list (in this case 5) is irrelevant).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Illustrator cannot find linked images

Illustrator CS3 cannot find linked images that are stored on another server volume.
Example: My Illustrator file is stored on one server volume and my images on another.
Both volumes are mounted on the desktop but, Illustrator asks to locate linked images
when I try to open the file. After locating one linked file all others linked to this document
are then found. If I save and close this file and reopen it, it will ask again to locate the linked images.
System specifics:
Illustrator CS3
Mac OS 10.5.6
Intel PowerMac
Thanks

One thing you can do to save a lot of disc space is to make aliases of the pictures you're using and place them instead of the originals. Keep the aliases in the same folder as your artwork. Works fine as long as you've got the server with the originals mounted and you avoid having to search for the originals, just go to the aliases instead. A lot of people seem to have forgotten about aliases but they're an incredible time and space saver. We use them all the time.
