MacIntel Photoshop CS3!  Beta available today!

Finally!
Photoshop CS3 Beta

All I know is CS2 runs like garbage on the new Mac Pro at work.
Slower than my G5 (before all the duo core craze) running CS2.
I'm waiting out for the new OS and PS3 and only after a year
of it being in the market will I go bother try to get a new MAC
with the software for myself.
At work all I see is spinning rainbow pizzas all day long.
And this is not just with photoshop, but with everything.
The finder slows down and I have to wait for skittles to
finish spinning.
I hope the new OS next year makes the Mac Pro feel less like a G4 and more
of the hyped intel chipped Duo Cuad turbo charged farrari engined machines they are suppose to be. I'm not convinced yet.
I'm a Mac lover, but I also like it when things that suppose to be faster
are faster.

  • Photoshop CS3 beta + Aperture problem

    Is anyone having any trouble with photos in Aperture that were altered in the new PS CS3 beta?
    I sent a photo to CS3 and added a few adjustment layers and when I saved, the thumbnail in Aperture appears as if it's inverted... like a negative. And the full screen version is much higher contrast than the PS version. Exporting a jpg shows the same problem. However, when I open that same image in PS again (using the open in external editor command), everything shows as fine.
    Possibly just a bug since CS3 is still in beta?

    Matthew,
    You can get this type of effect if you're using Alpha Channels in CS, CS2 etc. Did you by any chance save the image with an additional alpha channel?

  • Lightroom, Photoshop, PS CS3 beta

    I used to cleaner to remove Photoshop CS3 beta after inadvertedly deleting by dragging. The licensed version of PS CS3 is installed but apparently there are a couple of bits and pieces of the beta still around because when I click on Develop>Photo>Edit in Photoshop CS3.app it brings up the beta screen. Is there any way to change the location of this menu item manually? In other words, can I select the true app somehow?
    Thanks

    If I recall correctly, Adobe has made available an uninstaller for the beta that is required to get rid of it correctly. You might go over to the Photoshop forum and look around. I'm not sure what to do in your situation where you deleted incorrectly. But that forum may have hints as to what to do.

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS3 - Installer just dissappeared

    I have an issue installing Photoshop CS3 as follow:
    I have removed all Photoshop CS3 Beta manually (Use control panel, deleted files and registries) as instructed in this web and get rid of all thing involved Adobe out of my computer.
    When I clicked Setup.exe, a setup windows with progressive bar (See in http://www.thetaforce.com/image/cs3installer.jpg ) appeared shortly and then disappear!
    Then nothing is happenned further. No error message. It just disappeared. I wait for an hour but nothing happened.
    I tried to run Windows in clean mode (msconfig -> disable unneccessary services) and also disable Antivirus and Firewall etc. But this problem persists.
    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium (32Bit) and have Intel Centrino Duo 2.0GHz with 1.5GB of Ram (DDR2) and 100GB HDD. Graphic shared Intel 945GM Express Chipset.

    I finally got CS3 to install last night, I decided to vanilla install XP sp2 from scratch using a ghost copy.
    I then ran the installer from the same physical disk but diffrent partition and I got 2 errors, CS3 and shared components failed to install. I was just about to throw the towel in, having cleanned my pc back to nothing but base XP sp2 install and then I thought why not put the whole 460mb package on the root or C:.
    I ran the installer and uncompressed the file, which created the installer and executed. The options screen popup (at last!!) and I chose the default install location and few minutes later, CS3 was installed and running.
    I then spent the next couple of hours updating XP with 80+ security patches, IE7 and all my other applications.
    This may seem a bit drastic, but I can only conclude that this problem had nothing to do with CS3beta but rather a conflict with one or some XP security updates / patches.
    Also, there must be something inherently wrong with the CS3 installer scripts, perhaps absolute rather dynamic file addressing as it just would not work if I put the installer on a different drive.
    I've burnt nigh on 20 hours on this upgrade and finally have it running.
    Focusing on the positives, my pc is running a lot quicker and has less bloatware than before, however getting a PC to be stable takes a lot of time and effort, which I now have to contend with. In fact, IE 7 is already crashing more than it did previsouly!
    Looking on the bright side, I finally have access to my CS3beta PSDs with LR working in harmony.
    I do hope others can solve the problem in a less drastic manner. For me, I felt it better to work from a know XP build to isolate the many variables.

  • Photoshop CS3 Book and Tutorial Recommendations

    Hi there,
    I am a beginner CS3 user. My main interest is in enhancing old graphic prints (not digital photography). By enhancing I mean changing colors, brightness, contrast, and sometimes redrawing a section of the original print. I typically scan the prints and save the images as tiff files that I then open in CS3. I'm running OSX 10.4.11.
    There are numerous books on Photoshop CS3 on Amazon, but I am finding it difficult to make a choice. I would like book and tutorial recommendations from the Photoshop user forum community.
    Thanks!
    Al

    I'll suggest a different tack altogether. As I'm a visually oriented, I find that being shown is far more effective than reading about things. Parsing intellectual abstractions (language) rather than dealing directly with the subject through imagery always seems like an extra labor... at least at the beginning until I have enough of a syntax built to enable contextual relevance.
    With that preface I'd suggest you look at Deke McClelland's video tutorials now available online from Lynda.com. Start with "Photoshop CS3 One-on-One: The Essentials' followed by "Photoshop CS3 One-on-One: Beyond the Basics" and "Photoshop CS3 One-on-One: Advanced Techniques." After Deke's tutorials you will be prepared to dive into any of the many others Photoshop CS3 authors available on Lynda.com.
    http://movielibrary.lynda.com/authors/author/?aid=98
    When I first started Photoshop, it was so dense and alien that, even with several books to help, I considered myself only a beginner even after a year or so of intense struggle. Then I ran into Deke's training and felt that I made a huge jump in comprehension and skill set in a very short time. I would watch the training and during the first go would do the examples. After once through I would work with PS for a bit to let the training sink in and then watch once more followed by more work. After the third viewing, I'd absorbed almost all I was going to and Deke's jokes were old so it was time to move on.
    The training on Lynda.com is very reasonably priced for the value of the training and I would suggest Deke's tutorials to any beginner as a more effective way to start than books.

  • Cannot install, Photoshop CS3 conflicts with Photoshop CS3

    Here's the correct sequence to uninstall the CS3 beta and install the final, shipping version of CS3:
    1. DEACTIVATE the Photoshop CS3 beta;
    2. Run the Adobe Uninstaller currently residing in your ./ Applications / Utilities /Adobe folder to uninstall the Photoshop CS3 beta;
    3. Run the 'CS3Clean' script that has been posted to remove the bits and pieces that the uninstaller misses.
    NOTE that you cannot just drag the CS3 beta folder to the Trash like you normally do with other Mac applications.
    To install CS3:
    1. Repair Permissions.
    2. Install CS3 according to the instructions.
    3. Repair Permissions AGAIN.
    4. Activate the software.
    here is the link to the clean script:

    *"HOW DO I RECTIFY THIS?! im pulling my hair out."*
    Sorry, dude. No sympathy. You're committing software piracy and telling the whole world about it. Not smart. If you want to run Photoshop, then buy your own copy.
    For help with (un)installing Photoshop for when you get your legit copy, I suggest you post your question on Adobe's discussion forums, as it's their product, not Apple's.

  • Can't update device package for adobe DC in cd photo shop CS3 beta)

    i've installed device central from CD Photoshop CS3 BETA ,
    the problem is i can not install new device package for the file
    that download from net , and it always shown ( the file update is
    too new for this version of adobe device central ).... somebody
    help me please ?

    I am pretty sure that the Device Central that came with
    Photoshop CS3 BETA is different from the official release of Device
    Central that comes with CS3 products.
    I had Photoshop CS3 BETA and DC working. Then I bought a
    licenced copy of Flash CS3 and Device Central. The new device
    package installed perfectly on the newer version of DC. However,
    now that I have installed the new Device Central, I can't launch DC
    from Photoshop CS3 BETA—it gives me an error.
    That said, DC works great—with the update—but
    only via Flash CS3 (or some other official launch product).

  • Probleme mit CS3 beta

    Hallo,
    ich habe Probleme bei der Installation von Photoshop CS3 beta. Leider kann ich die Lizenz nicht akzeptieren da ich keinen ok button habe. Ich weiß leider nicht weiter, habe ich schon meinen Windows installer aktualisiert.
    Bitte helft mir =)

    Danke für die Antwort.
    So ganz genau kann ich es nicht nachvollziehen. Aber nachdem ich das Programm
    mit dem Task-Manager geschlossen habe, anders wollte es nicht.
    Und das Programm neu geöffnet habe hat es wieder funktioniert. Möglicherweise
    war mein PC ein wenig Durcheinander durch die 40 updates, obwohl ich mehrere
    Neustarts gemacht hatte.
    Vielen Dank für die Hilfe.
    Ich hätte aber noch ein 2. Problem.
    Mein Haupt-PC, ich habe 2, hat seinen Geist aufgegeben und ich würde gerne diese
    verlohrene Lizenz für mein Laptop nehmen, habe aber keine Ahnung wie.
    Wissen Sie wie ich die Lizenz deaktivieren kann und für mein Labtop aktivieren?
    Danke und schöne Feiertage,

  • Photoshop CS3 "Not enough scratch memory available" error.

    Hi,
    I am Using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Version 10.0 and I keep getting the error "Not enough Scratch memory available to perform this action" whenever I try to Save a .psd file to a .jpg/.jpeg file.
    I did go to Edit -> Preferences -> Performance, and add my other two partitions as scratch disks, also put up my E: drive as the primary scratch disk on the top of the list (Which has 80GB's of space) but I still keep getting this error.
    My file (the .psd that i am trying to save to a .jpg) has a total size of 56MB and 300dpi with 4 or 5 layers in it and the target jpg file is supposed to be 12inches by 20inches.
    Some other things I have tried is celaring the %temp% folder, Defragmenting my Hard Drive(s), Disk Cleanup, set my System Page file to 4GB, but all this is of no use.
    I know that I have enough RAM and Hard disk space so please help me get rid of this problem.
    Also, this maybe a stupid question but, does the type of RAM and Processor you are using effect this? I have a DDR RAM.. 2GB, I know its outdated, its our office computer I am working on.. My Processor is a Core 2 Duo which isnt bad.
    HELP PLEASE!!!

  • Fonts Not Available in Photoshop CS3 (Windows 7)?

    Hello,
    My desktop computer crashed yesterday and I had to run out last night and pick up a new unit as I'm trying to meet a number of deadlines (and not having much luck getting the work done in my laptop).
    The new computer uses Windows 7 as the Operating System.  It has already presented a ton of headaches... I've already spent in excess of ten hours trying to reinstall hardware and dealing with the various quirks that arise.
    The latest of these issues is that I cannot seem to access some fonts from Photoshop CS3.  I'm having the same issue, to a lesser extent, in Illustrator 10.
    For instance, after downloading the Helvetica and Helvetica Neue families in Windows 7, they do not appear in the Type menu in Photoshop.  There are a ton of useless pre-installed fonts there, but not the ones I installed.  If I try to access them from Illustrator, it displays only one weight of each typeface (for instance, it displays Helvetica Neue 65 but omits 55, 75, 95, etc....).
    The issue does not occur for all fonts.  For instance, I installed AvantGarde and it displays just fine.  In that instance, the fonts were TrueType whereas the Helvetica font files are Type 1 font files.
    Can anyone help?  I've already lost a day-and-a-half of work, and can't afford to spend much more time screwing around with this nonsense.

    Bill,
    Thanks for your thoughtul and thorough reply.
    To clarify, I do have a copy of ATM, but just have not installed it on my XP computer or this new one.  It is on my Illustrator 10 install disk.  Not sure if it will work on Windows 7, as Illustrator 10 would not run on the new computer until I set the compatibility to work with Vista and earlier.  I suppose that I could install it and see if it works.  Might be worth a shot.
    I will check out the software titles you referenced.
    With regard to font installation on Windows 7, there are three techniques as far as I can tell.  They are:
    1) Drag and drop method: Works the same as it always has.  Simply drag the typefaces into the Fonts folder or Control Panel > Fonts.
    2) You can navigate to where a font file is located (the desktop, for instance) and then right-click on it and choose "Install."  This is what I referred to previously, and I tried it after drag-and-drop did not work.
    3) For the third method (according to Windows 7 documentation I found online at http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7desktop/thread/324ecdc6-8574-4527-8099- efc430bf550f), you are supposed to be able to go into the Control Panel > Fonts, press ALT (to display the menu) and then choose File > Install New Font.  You would then be prompted to navigate to the typeface you want to install.  However, this option is not available on my computer.  When I tried it, I can access the File menu, but "Install New Font" is not listed on the dropdown.

  • Getting error on imac at time of loading photoshop CS3 plugin - "One or more plugins currently not available on you system"

    Hi,
    I am getting below error message while loading photoshop plugin on intel mac os 10.5.7 in photoshop CS3.
    "One or more plugins are currently not available on you system. For details, see  Help -> System info"
    In System info it is giving error as
    "Plug-ins that failed to load:

    I have build this code with Xcode v3.0 & selected settings build configuration as "i386".
    Is there any CS3 SDK updated need for intel mac or any build settings need to be done in xcode?
    Same plugin is working well on emac, but giving above mentioned error on intel mac.
    Please let me know if anyone have any idea about this.
    Thanks in advance.

  • IPhoto, Photoshop CS2 or CS3 beta?

    I asked here earlier if iphoto can change the color of peoples eyes and received the response that iphoto is primarilly a final stage editing tool.
    therefore im asking which is better... this should be answered by those who have used either/or both...
    which is better right now... to edit photos
    Photoshop CS2 or CS3 Beta?
    All i want to do is simply make photos better. photos of friends and family. adjustments like changing or making eyes a lighter color, things like that.

    Decemberist:
    I've been using the beta since it's been out and have had no problems at all. It's so much faster in loading and running than CS2.
    But Terence is exactly right about PS Elements. PSE can't work with CMYK files but that's pretty much specialized for professional printing. For the general user it does everything we could want. Here's one example of the advanced capabilities.

What version of Photoshop is currently available that will work on both the desktop and the laptop? Can I install the same copy of Photoshop on the both machines simultaneously?

    You can either buy a CS6 perpetual license, or Creative Cloud subscription.  Both will run on the two computers you mention.  You are allowed two installation with either version, but they must be for the same user. There is a cheap as chips Photography deal that gives you Photoshop and Lightroom for just $10/month, and feature gap is ever widening between CS6 and CC
