Monochrome in Aperture with PS CS3

Hi,
I have opened a photo in Aperture and created a B&W image in PS CS3(+blur etc) but now the image can't be viewed in Aperture anymore. It stays completey black and to view I have to open via PS CS3.
Any ideas??
Thanks!!!

the "O" with a dot inside is the icon for opened with external editor ... looks like a target ...
when you saved from cs3 did you save as, plain save, change the file type ???
my open with external workflow is ...
select image in aperture
right click open with external
perform operations in cs3 (whatever they need to be)
file -> save .. plain save don't do anything else ...
return to aperture, and the file is there and updated ...
now, if i make a change to that image in aperture it will create another new version ...

You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.

Hi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

Subject: Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3
I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also
notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,
nonetheless.

OSX 10.5.4: Still the same problems with Adobe CS3 files

I updated to OS X 10.5.4 on a latest generation 24" iMac with Adobe CS3 on it. This is the only Mac with 10.5 installed in a publishing company with 10 Macs, all with Adobe CS3 and all working always with files on the same file server. The other 9 Macs have OS X 10.4 installed.
The iMac with 10.5 had massive problems with CS3 files since OS X 10.5.2 - frequently existing Photoshop files disappeared from the server after the "Save" command, frequently "Save As" was not possible in Photoshop, sometimes Indesign crashed when files were getting saved on the server - none of this is happening on the other Macs with OS X 10.4.
On the first couple of days with 10.5.4 at least in Photoshop exactly the same problems: Existing files disappear from the server after the "Save" command, "Save As" is often times not possible.
It's a shame!

Hi
Why don't you try updating with the larger installer, the combo updater. The combo updater is generally more helpful when troubleshooting a problem.

I bought a Mac PowerBook in 2008. It came with InDesign CS3. I did not use it. My computer was stolen in 2014. I had backed up the hard drive. I reinstalled on my new Mac laptop. I want to use the CS3 now. It will not download or install. What do I do?

Editing a Web Photo Album Created With Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS3

I created a web photo album with DW CS3 and FW CS3. I want to
add and delete some of the photos in the collection. So far, the
only way I have been able to do this is to recreate the whole thing
from scratch with all the correct pictures in the target folder. Is
there an easier way?

I could be wrong (we only test Adobe widgets for the quality
of their output
code, not for features, or lack of features) but recreation,
as Patty said,
might be the only way. If you have a development budget, you
might want to
take a look at some commercial tools that would have the
features and
capabilities you want or need.

Tips on using Aperture with Photoshop PSD files

For all the people like me coming to Aperture with hundreds of Photoshop files, I would like to offer what I've learned so far in this area.
1. If Aperture is importing your psd files but not showing an image, you probably need to change some preferences in PS. Apple has a tech note showing how to set the PS prefs here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302624
Warning: all of the choices should be set to the ones onscreen, not just "maximize compatibility". And even then, I have found I can't simply re-save the file to produce the image Aperture needs. I had to use "Save As" from Photoshop, creating a new file, to import a visible image file into Aperture.
2. Once the psd file is in Aperture, you need to realize that Aperture treats it as a master and won't let you make further changes to it. So, if you select this psd file and choose "Edit in external editor," Aperture will create a duplicate file and send that to Photoshop, thus protecting you. If you don't want two full-size masters of the same image in your library, there are two work-arounds.
Very Important Tip: in the Aperture preferences you must tell Aperture to use the psd file format for the "Edit In External Editor" command. My copy of Aperture defaulted to the TIFF format, which is bad if you want your layers preserved as you should.
One work-around is to import the psd file(s) as referenced masters. When you want to make changes to the file in PS, choose the file in Aperture and select "Show in Finder." From the finder, open the file in PS, make your changes, save, return to Aperture and update the preview if Aperture hasn't automatically done so. I don't like this method because it requires referenced masters and I want all of my files managed by Aperture.
Second method works with managed masters in the Aperture library or referenced masters for that matter. However you cannot use this technique if a psd file in your Aperture library has versions you want to save. You can only do this with files that have not spawned versions which you want to keep. In other words, be very careful. Best to do this as shortly after the import process.
Pick the file, choose "Edit in External Editor." Aperture duplicates the file and opens that in PS. Make some changes, save and return to Aperture. Notice the original master and this new changed version are in a stack. There should be a badge on the changed version indicating it has been edited externally. Here's the trick: Unstack the two images and delete the original master. Now you have only the externally edited master in your Aperture library. If you choose "Edit In External Editor" with this file, Aperture will not duplicate it and send the duplicate to PS, it will send the selected file.
Apple has a useful FAQ on using "Open With External Editor" here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302820

My suspicion is that Aperture is going to try loading the video card VRAM with your image .... 600Mb worth. So, paging in/out of system memory is going to be a royal pain.
Check that you haven't any alpha channels saved, as Aperture will save them but will not composite them.
Finally, to disable previews, uncheck in preferences, AND also uncheck Maintain previews under the library projects list gear icon.
Cheers!

Editing with Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Elements 8

I posted this in the PSE forum but didn't get any hits. Hopefulyy I'll be luckier here.
I have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8. I do all my editing usually with Photoshop CS3. I use Elements mainly for the organizer.
When I choose Edit with Photoshop from the organizer, it launches the application but the photo does not open in Photoshop. Nevertheless, there is a banner accross the photo in Elements that says "Edit in Progress". If I close Potoshop CS3, the banner stays there. I have to close Elements to get rid of it. If I choose "Open with Photoshop Elements" it works fine.
That used to work fine with my previous version of Elements 6.0. Everything works fine in CS3. Any suggestion on what I might be doing wrong?
I'm running Photoshop Elements and CS3 on Windows Vista 64 bit.
Thanks.

I have too much invested in Elements Organizer. 1000's of photos over a period of 5 years - tagged, version sets, stacked, albums, collections, ... I don't believe Bridge can do all of that.
I replicated the environment on a different PC with XP instead of Vista. Same problem. There seems to be a bug between Elements 8 and CS3. I don't have CS4 to test it with.
Come guys, with all the people in this forum, someone must have hit the problem or has an idea of what's going on. I logged a case with Adobe support but I doubt this will be a quick resolution.
Thanks.

What Mac operating systems work with Indesign CS3?

What Mac operating system will work with Indesign CS3? I have 10.5.8 and need to upgrade to 10.7 so that my new laser printer will work with my Mac.
If one buys a new Mac 10.8 or 10.9 will ID CS3 work?

Maybe…maybe not. It certainly won’t be supported and under no circumstance should you use migration assistant to move it to a new machine. With that I can almost assure you it won’t work.

Share my library (InD Cs4) with a Cs3 user.

I have the problem that I want to share my Cs4 library (win) with a Cs3 user (mac).
Files are fine to share if I export them as .inx
But I can't find a way to export my library. Is there any smart solution?
Thank you in advance

In general, exporting the Library items as snippets will work.
If they included text the usual caveats apply.

AHCI Problems with DW CS3

I have problems with DW CS3 when I use the AHCI mode in BIOS.
Then DW can not start. But I need a solution. Since I do not want
to buy DW CS4 although this runs without any problems.

Yes...the pages from the book display perfectly in dw8, but
not in DWcs3.
I found that by commenting out the "clear:left;" under "#nav"
the page displays properly in DWcs3, too. That leaves open the
question of "why".
Thanks.
