Opening AI 7 file in CS3

First, thanks for helping me out!
I purchased a vector that was created in 7 (curse me for not reading before hitting purchase). When I open the .eps or .ai file, I am only able to edit the top layer of the design. Is there anything I can do? I tried to ungroup, etc.

Can you select the layer? Could it be that you have flatten then image before this?
If not try to hide the top layers (clicking the eye icon).

  • Opening Camera Raw file in CS3 Bridge

    I have CS3 Bridge and CS3 Dreamweaver instaled as well as Photoshop CS2.
    I want to open Camera Raw files in CS3 Bridge. The Bridge Help file says:
    "Select 'Edit Camera Raw Settings' in Bridge General Preferences to open Camera Raw dialog box in Bridge" (as opposed to opening in Photoshop.)
    But my Bridge General Preferences has no such checkbox option. When I open a CR file in CS3 Bridge, the file opens in Photoshop CS2.
    How do I get the file to open in CS3 Bridge.
    Thanks, CMA

    I had a problem with this previously and came up with the following:
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF and hold down the shift key, Camera Raw will not be scheduled
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image, the image will always schedule Camera Raw if the Bridge menu item Edit/Preference/Thumbnails has Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF checked (Bridge JPEG and TIFF Checked).
    If I am in Bridge and double click a JPEG or TIFF image and Bridge JPEG and TIFF is unchecked and the JPEG or TIFF image has previously been processed by Camera Raw, Camera Raw will be scheduled if Camera Raw Preferences dialog has Always open JPEG files with settings using Camera Raw or Always open TIFF files with settings using Camera Raw checked.
    If I am in Bridge and double click a TIFF image and the TIFF file has layers, the TIFF file will not schedule Camera Raw.
    In Photoshop Preferences (Edit/Preference/File Handling) there is a check box titled Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files. I checked the check box and opened a JPEG image in Photoshop Camera Raw was scheduled. I clicked Open Image in ACR and then saved the image in Photoshop (JPEG saved in Photoshop after passing thru ACR). I then Unchecked the check box and opened the JPEG file Camera Raw was not scheduled.
    The only action I see for the Photoshop File Handling check box is to either schedule or not to schedule JPEG images. I do not see any related action for TIFF files in Photoshop. My expectation is that TIFF files will open in Photoshop not ACR.

  • Opening Canon CR2 files in CS3 on a Mac

    What Camera Raw plug-in do I need to open Canon CR2 files in Photoshop CS3 on a Mac?
    -Please send download link and installation instructions.
    Thanks

    Martha,
    You have not provided any information about how you updated to ACR 4.3 or details about your setup, whether you have purged the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge, trashed Photoshop and/or preferences, Repaired Permissions, or performed any other maintenance, nor what error message you get or what happens when you try opening your images, nor any information as to the exact version of Photoshop you are running (10.0.1?) as well as the OS (14.0.11 or 10.5.7?).  You really need to post in the Camera Raw forum so that you can browse existing threads and so we can point you to relevant posts.
    Provided the files themselves are not damaged or corrupted, the most common problems are installing the ACR plug-in in the wrong place and not removing the obsolete ACR plug-in that is originally installed by default with Photoshop.
    If you go to the Photoshop menu > About Plug-in > Camera Raw…, you should see only one instance of Camera Raw and it should be 4.6 when you select that menu item.
    If you have any other question, please post in the Camera Raw forum, not here.  A discussion of this nature should be over there, where it can benefit other Camera Raw users, not just you.

  • Problems opening & resaving NEF files with CS3/CS2

    I seem to be having problems sending my NEF files to Photoshop from Aperture. This started happening just today & I'm not sure what to do.
    What happens is that when I open a NEF file in external editor, instead of just opening up as a psd file in CS3 or CS2 directly like it used to do, it now opens Adobe Raw instead which means that I am unable to resave back into my Aperture Library. Is there anyone who has experienced this as well? Any suggetions as to the cause and a solution? I tried checking preferences for both Aperture as well as Photoshop but nothing seems to work.
    The only thing I can think of is having just updated Adobe Raw to the latest version, 4.3 I think. Other than that Aperture did start up about a week ago & declared my library corrupt & proceeded to rebuild my library. Other than that it was behaving normally until today. Its really irritating & counter productive to be unable to resave my edits in Aperture.
    Any help or suggestions will be very welcome indeed. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the tip Eduardo, but I checked the preferences and they seem to be correct.
    It seems that only images in certain projects were affected. Could be the ones that Aperture rebuilt earlier. I guess I may have to try exporting the raw files from the affected projects, then deleting and reimporting the projects again. I did try to rebuild the thumbnails but it doesn't seem to help.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions for me to try before I do this?

  • Is it possible to open a CS4 file in CS3 without any problems?

    Or do CS4 files have any extra things that would cause problems if I tried to open it in CS3? If so, what could I do to solve this?

    It's not possible to open a CS4 .indd file in CS3 at all.
    You can open a .inx file exported from CS4, but text will probably flow a little differently and any unsupported new features that were used in the file will be lost. Your CS3 must be updated to the last patch.

  • Can't open d90 NEF files in CS3 or bridge. Any ideas?

    I have recently upgraded to a Nikon d90 and i can no longer open any NEF files in photoshop or adobe bridge. Any ideas pleAse? Thanks

    Hello, according to http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html, the D90 is supported by ACR 4.6 that works with CS3. Is it the version currently installed? (check in about>plug-ins)

  • How do I open a CR2 file using CS3 photoshop

    how do I open a CR2 file in CS3

    You cannot open a raw file from that camera  directly in CS3 and never will be able to.  That camera model was supported for the first time in Camera Raw 5.2, which requires CS4 to run.
    You need to convert your Canon raw files to raw DNG files first.  Download, install and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.1, which is not tied to any version of Photoshop at all,

  • Opening Illustrator 7 files in CS3

    I am a college student and am currently studying Illustrator in a class. The school uses the CS3 version. The instructor recommended that we download the free trial version of CS3, as the thirty days would be sufficient for the amount of time we'd spend on the Illustrator overview. The download isn't available anymore (at least, not the Windows version I'd need; Softpedia appears to have the Mac version), however, and so this isn't an option for me. We do have Illustrator 7 here at home, so I was wondering whether or not I would be able to open an Illustrator 7 file in CS3. I know there are difficulties involved in opening newer files in older software, but how hard is it to open an older file in newer software?
    If this isn't possible, is there any way I can still access the free trial download for Windows Illustrator CS3 (since CS4's trials aren't out yet)?

    >...how hard is it to open an older file in newer software?
    Shouldn't be a problem.

  • Missing Plugins.  Unable to open InDesign CS4 file, using CS3.

    There are various updates InDesign CS3 available;
    Adobe InDesign 5.0.2, 5.0.3, and 5.0.4.dmg etc, plus 'Digital Editions'.
    Which one provides correct plugins to allow opening of a CS4 originated file in CS3?
    Alternatively, is there a link which provides a utility which will automatically detect which
    plugins you require to update from CS3>CS4?
    Thanks very much.

    My script in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273 will identify with what version of ID a file is created, which may be helpful at times. (Aside, you may be the first to try it with CS3 -- so it might not work.)
    Nothing to be ashamed of on your side, really. That infernally misleading "upgrade your plugins" 'error' dialog has been confusing first-time users from the very first time some lazy programmer at Adobe opted for a quick shortcut in programming and be at home before rush hour.

  • Canon 5 d mark 2 - opening RAW/CR2 files with CS3???

    I have CS3 version 10.0.1 and Raw convertor 4.6 and a Canon 5 d mark 2
    I have downloaded the Camera RAW and DNG converter 5.2 and camera profiles but photoshop still will not open the files and Bridge just displays the RAW icon. Photoshop says it does not recognize this file format?
    Any other suggestions- I have downloaded it now a couple of times and tried to install- but no luck - it still does not recognize the 5 d mark 2 .CR2 files - HEELLPPPP!!

    >will I be able to edit them with Bridge?
    NEVER! But you can use Bridge to open your DNGs in Adobe Camera Raw. :)
    Bridge is just a file browser. It does not open, edit or save files of any kind. It just hands the files over to the appropriate application(s) to open them, like Photoshop, Camera Raw, Illustrator, Acrobat, even MS Word, etc.

  • Open Nef (Raw) file in CS3

    Hi,
    When trying to open a Nef (Raw) file from Nikon D90 in Photoshop CS3 the following happens:
    - Nikon Scan 4.0 tries to open (why scan?)
    and deliveres the message "buffer overrun,
    program must be terminated", the header
    for this message is "Visual C++ runtime
    library"
    The default application to open Nef files
    is Nef launcher 1.2 according to Adobe Bridge, so why this Nikon Scan 4.0 fuss?
    So please tell me what to do to be able to
    open Nef files in Photoshop CS3.
    Thank You,
    Martti

    I should have written a bit more. The latest update for ACR, compatible with Photoshop CS3 is version 4.6. If this is too old for your camera* you have to use the DNG convertor
    * I suggest you do some reading (especially the links at the top) in the ACR Forum at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?13@@.3bb6a85c.
    Further questions would be better posted there. Include exact system and camera details.
    The instructions on how to install are all there too.

  • Can you open/edit indesign files on CS3 that were created using CS5?

    I recently bought indesign CS5 and am using this for my internship; however, my boss is still using CS3 and said she could not open or edit the indesign file i sent her.  I looked under "export" to see if there was an option and did not find anything.  I am using a mac and I believe she is using a P.C., also, when I last sent her the file, I was still using my free trial - does any of this make a difference?  Please help! 

    This has been covered endless times but anyway, I'll do it again!
    You have to export an idml file from CS5, then open that idml in CS4, export an inx file from there then open that in CS3 and save as an indd.  Sorry but there is no way round it, fullstop, end of story etc etc.  So if she is using CS3 and you're using CS5 there is no route between them unless you have CS4, and even then the route is littered with pitfalls!  Look here for a rather long discussion / sometimes rant on the subject.
    Ultimately she'd have to upgrade, or you could see if you could buy a CS3 or 4 version but it is very hard to get a legitimate copy, the only way is buy it off someone you know and most people aren't selling because they're upgrading.
    Best news last, there is a short term fix, go to this guys blog and you can download a trial version of CS4 which will last for a month.

  • Opening CS4 .ai files in CS3

    Can I open Ill. CS4 .ai & .eps files using Ill. CS3 (without someone backsaving them for me first)?
    Thanks!

    It depends on how the file was saved and if any new features were used you may lose them.

  • Unable to open T1i CR2 files from CS3

    Running CS3 on Windows Vista.  I have updated Camera Raw plugin to 4.6.  I am able to view raw files from my Canon 5D, but not from new Canon T1i.  I get error message of "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
    I read that I should use DNG software, but when run, I get error messages on the converted files. I have been able to use Canon software, but would prefer using Adobe.

    What version of the DNG converter are you using?
    It has to be the equivalent level to the Adobe Camera Raw version that would be needed for that camera, ie 5.4 or higher.
    You can get it here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4578

  • HOW CAN I OPEN A CS5 FILE TO CS3???

    hi I been having this problem with most the files, i dont know why its so difficult if i am using the same program even though one is an upgrade than the other can someone please help!????

    As Colin points out, backward compatibility is seldom going to work, or work well.
    An alternate is to Export an intermediate file from CS5, to be Imported into CS3, and a new Project/Sequence.
    Two schools of thought on doing so:
    Edit completely and finally in CS5, as you will no longer have things like Handles, etc., in your newly Exported intermediate file. It will be hard to re-edit, but you can certainly do things like Titles, Audio additions, PiP and overlays.
    Edit very loosely, leaving adequate Handles in each Clip, and NOT adding any Transitions. The tight editing would then be done in the older version, and Transitions, etc., would be added there.
    I would look into a lossless CODEC, like the Lagarith Lossless, for the intermediate file. Note: it would have to be installed on both machines, and one would have to consider the 32-bit on the CS3 machine, and the 64-bit version on the CS5 machine. I do not know how well, or poorly, those might play with each other, but I am sure that others can direct you, or perhaps suggest an alternative.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - I also think that you meant something different than "CS4 into CS4... " above.
    PPS - It is usually easier going UP a version, or two, though even that can hold some problems, just waiting to strike.
