New Problem with Photoshop CS3

Today, never before, when I open Photoshop CS3, I can open any file. However the minute I select any tool to performa a task I get the "Could not complete your request becasue of a program err." message. When I click on continue the message pops back immediately. I have the Foce quit the program. Anyone have a resolve to this. PS: I can open any of the same files on my laptop. No problem there.

System info? Exact print settings? Color management?

  • I am having problem with Photoshop CS3 hanging

    I am having a lot of problems with Photoshop CS3 hanging and crashing. Particularly when I open hi-res photos and click on tools, like the type tool. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
    Thanks.

    Buy more RAM, plain and simple. Sounds the program is severely suffocating. for on-screen display fonts need also be rasterized, which also costs RAM, even if they otherwise remain native vectors. How much memory do you have? as a short term solution, you may wish to increase the program's RAM usage in the prefs, but it may not resolve the issues entirely.

  • Little Problem with Photoshop CS3

    Hi, I have a little problem with Photoshop CS3, I'm not sure if this's because a Windows option that I messed up, but the thing is that I didn't touch any options, or some kind of preferences.
    I'm talking about the "little windows" (I don't know the correct name) that come from, in this case, the Filter and Analysis options, they're coming down from their right side, and usually, the come down from their left side. This is really annoying.
    Not big deal, but I can't really work properly. I hope you guys can help me, and this's my first post, I hope I didn't break any rule.

    Thanks Mylenium, that was the problem, I don't even have a tablet, but that fixed my problem =)
    Thanks again.

  • Problems with Photoshop CS3

    I have had CS3 for a few years and it has never worked properly.
    First I thought it was because I was using an old 2002 Mac Powerbook with just enough ram to run OSX.4
    I recently got a new Macbook Pro and still have all the same problems. I have found Adobe Customer Services to be useless - I have spent dozens of hours trying to deal with them and they are a waste of time. I contacted the shop I bought it from and they said as much about Adobe support.
    So I am running cs3 (updated) in Snow Leopard. I am having the trouble with Photoshop, It often crashs, it won't quit unless I force quit, it won't open by dragging files to the Photoshop icon, and many tools don't work; crop tool, photomerge, auto batching, layers won't flatten/merge and more.
    I have clean installed it 3 times, reinstalled my OS three times. I was so fed up that I tried to contact Adobe again this week but it was a waste of time, they took all my details and assured me they would call me back and I never heard from them.
    I installed CS5 for a free trail and that worked perfect but now the trail is over.
    Can anyone help me iron out the problems I am having with Photoshop - the other programs seem to working OK, well, Indesign is fine, though illustrator is a bit iffy.
    Many thanks
    John

    Do you have any third party plug-ins installed?
    Have you recently validated all your fonts in Font Book?
    How diligent are you with regard to System Maintenance?

  • Installation Problems With Photoshop CS3

    I had to reinstall Photoshop CS3 on my current MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.6.
    When trying to re-install using the original full version disk I received the following error:
    JavaScript Alert Critical errors were found in setup -The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media. Please see the Setup log file for details.
    I even even tried to down load and install the Trail Version of CS4 to see if that could be done. Same error happens.
    Any idea what has happened?
    Would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks

    Ramon,
    Thanks for the input. However I tried that already with the same results.
    Have no problem with Lightroom 2.2 just Photoshop CS3.
    Sent Adobe a message with this problem via their support section, however they just closed the case and more or less stated my time has expired. So now I am at a stand still with CS3.
    My next option is just do a complete re-install of Leopard as I do have everything backed up via Time Machine.
    In the mean time I found a program called Pixelmator that works just fine until I am able find a solution for this problem.

  • Alt + Scroll for zoom problem with Photoshop CS3

    Running Adobe Photoshop CS3
    Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 3
    When I check the "Zoom with Scroll Wheel" box in Preferences > General:
    -using zoom tool, scroll wheel will zoom out to the smallest size, but will only zoom in until image is slightly larger than the file window then slides the image left and right or up and down depending on size of file window. When image is slightly larger than the file window, zoom out doesn't work anymore
    -using Alt + Scroll does nothing
    -Ctrl + Scroll zooms image the way Alt + Scroll should
    When I UNcheck the "Zoom with Scroll Wheel" box in Preferences > General:
    -using Alt + Scroll scroll wheel will zoom out to the smallest size, but will only zoom in until image is slightly larger than the file window then will neither zoom in or out anymore
    -using Ctrl + Scroll slides the image left and right
    In either preference setting, using ALT key causes letters for menus in the tool bar to be underlined

    anybody?

  • New, improved problem with Photoshop CS3 Clone Stamp Tool

    After selecting the clone area with the Alt + L Click, I then release both and press the  L Click to get the brush.  The + symbol moves along beside the brush.  It does not stick at the area that I alt clicked.  I have reset the tool, but that has no effect.  I have tried the alt-click more than once.  Tha pallet does show an offset and has a clone source chosen.  It just doesn't stick at the location.
    Any help is appreciated.

    If I understand you correctly, you may have a system problem (e.g., with OpenGL) if the clone stamp overlay is not confined to the brush shape.
    Normally, this is what you see (cloning from the right to the left with a round brush):
    If it's not working this way for you, I suggest downloading and installing the latest display driver from the web site of the maker of your video card, and also experimenting with the OpenGL settings in your Edit - Preferences - Performance menu.
    CS3 did not offer the clipped Clone Stamp overlay. That's an OpenGL-specific feature, and only Photoshop CS4 and above have the OpenGL support needed.

  • Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

    I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6.  If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to.  I don't know if I changed something by accident or not. 
    Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..."  The save as window opens showing the file name and format.  The default format seems to be .PSD.  I use the drop down to select .jpg.  The file saves normally as a .jpg.  When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
    I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite  but it always used to do that.  This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
    In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
    I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • Problem with Photoshop CS4 after migration to new Mac

    I just migrated from an old Mac to a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks. I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS4. Specifically, two things:
    1) When I open an image in Camera Raw, I get this error:
    Fatal error - missing component
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
    2) When I try to save anything, it tells me it can't because of a program error.
    I've looked around for a solution. Apparently I had to install Java, but that hasn't solved the issue. A couple of people mentioned that reinstalling would work for a similar problem. My problem with that is that my disk is on the other side of the world and my new macbook doesn't have a disk drive anyway. So I logged into my Adobe account hoping to see a download link for software I have licences for, but there isn't one.
    So my question is firstly, whether there is a simpler solution to the errors I am getting and, if not, if there's a solution to reinstalling Photoshop CS4 without the disk.
    Thanks!

    Did you use Apple's migration tool?  It misses a lot of support files, especially in the Application Support directories.
    You'll have to copy those files manually, or reinstall the app.

  • Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

    Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine. When I am in Bridge and go to tools/photoshop/batch and run the same script it runs until it wants interaction with preference.rulerunits. How do I get it to quit doing this so I can run in batch mode? Any help is appreciated. HLower
    Script follows:

  • 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.
    computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

    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.

    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.

  • Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well.  Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up:  After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image.  How do I disable this function?

    Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

      Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.
