Photoshop CS3 Conflict...HELP!

So I got a copy of the CS3 Master Collection. Everything transfered fine onto my computer but after I entered the serial number the program said it couldn't install Photoshop CS3 because it conflicted with Photoshop CS3.
I then searched the internet and found that you must first remove the trial or beta version of PS CS3 before installing. I read the instructions on how to do that (utilities>adobe installers) but nothing was in the adobe installers area.
Then I just got very pissed off. Erased everything on my computer (at least I think) that had the word adobe, photoshop, cs3 in it (including my previous copies of CS) uninstalled the CS3 Master Collection, reinstalled the CS3 master collection...to no avail.
Very frustrating and I am extremely aggravated and am ready to throw my macbook pro through the dry wall.
Any help? Suggestions?
Thank you so much!

You need the CS3 cleanScript do a search you should find it.
In fact I just did it for you.

if you haven't saved custom brushes externally DO SO before resetting the brushes!
Yes, thanks for that. That was my implication but I should've spelled it out.

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.

Illustrator to Photoshop color conflict - help

I'm working on a document that is web bound. The background color is a dark gray #333333. I used Illustrator to do some typography, I wanted to be able to change the stroke size on some characters. Why cant I get the background color of the ai file #33333 to match the background color of the same hexidecimal number in photoshop? I created the Illustrator document in RGB @300dpi, I have opened it in photoshop at both sRGB and AdobeRGB and there is a noticable difference in color. The color picker identifies them both as the same but there is a difference. Any ideas? I'm using Illustrator CS4 and PS CS2.
Thanks

do you have the creative suite? if so, you can use Bridge to sync their colors.

Help!!! Can't reinstall Photoshop CS3

Soundbooth beta has caused some conflicts with my Photoshop CS3 (I am assuming that is what is causing my photoshop wierdness) causing me to have to reinstall Photoshop. When I attempted to do so, I got a message to insert Soundbooth CS4. I uninstalled Soundbooth. So I thought. But every time I try to reinstall Photoshop, I am asked to insert Soundbooth CS4.
HELP. I desperately need to reinstall Photoshop and naturally Adobe is closed until Monday.
Note: I am on a Mac 10.5.4, 9 Gg RAM if that helps.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Will Not Install PLEASE HELP TRIED EVERYTHING

I downloaded from Adobe the Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial directly from Adobe. (BTW I am on Vista 32)
The first time I tried installing, ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe successfully unpacked, I successfully transitioned to the Adobe Photoshop CS3 installation, and it appeared to install. After 30 minutes or so, the installer finished and simply said that shared components had installed but the Photoshop CS3 Component install failed.
I always got in the log Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC,version="8.0.50727.163",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18 e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information
This, I know, is everyones typical problem.
I turned off firewall and antivirus.
I uninstalled ALL Adobe and Macromedia programs, including Flash and Acrobat.
I used Windows Install Cleanup Utility to remove them.
I downloaded the CS3 Clear from Adobe and cleared at levels 1, 2, and 3.
I created the Administrator account on my computer and tried everything on the Administrator account.
I tried installing Photoshop CS3 with compatibility mode for XP SP2.
I tried:
1. Open an Administrator command prompt by right clicking on Start -> All
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and selecting "Run as
Administrator" and clicking "Allow" for the elevation prompt
2. In the command prompt, type the command below
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
3. Reboot the machine
I tried:
Get command prompt up. It has to be run with admin rights so save yourself some time and run it this way.........Start/programs/accessories/.....right click command prompt and click run as administrator.
Then paste these commands in 1 after the other
regsvr32 vbscript.dll (THEN PRESS ENTER)
and
regsvr32 jscript.dll (AGAIN PRESS ENTER)
I even tried installing in Safe Mode but the CS3 setup would not initialize.
I do not know what else to do. I have CS2 which I will use, but I was really hoping to move to CS3 which is supposed to be better and faster. Does anyone know anything else to do? I am not a computer noob but I am not about to reinstall Vista. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

I was in the same predicament and after spend many hours over several days trying a multitude of things I finally found an easy fix (below):
========================================
Assuming you have Internet Explorer 7 go to:
Tools/Internet option/Advanced
Click the Reset dialog box. This will bring IE7 back to its default settings. You should reboot your computer. After logging back into Windows load IE and let it take you though its initial setup. When you are done close IE and install Photoshop.. This worked for me,,, hopefully it will work for you!

Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working... HELP?

Everytime I try to make a GIF, and I select the length of the video, and press okay, a box comes out saying: Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working. I've tried the "CTRL-ALT-SHIFT," but it doesn't work! Please help? ):
I make a GIF like this: File-Import-Video Frames to Layers.
Oh, and I have a Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended.

You'll probably going to have to uninstall, then re-install the application; but you need to provide a lot more information;
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Photoshop CS3 crashes all the time - Please help!

Hello
I didn't find any answer in the forum.
I work with Photoshop CS3 Version 10.0.1. on Mac Powerbook 10.4.11.
Photoshop quits all the time, no work possible anymore. It quits when I want to open a file or when I want to safe an new file (message PS unexpectedly quite).
The trouble (maybe - actually I am not sure) may started after I updated all Adobe program. There were some messages popping up that not everything was updated properly.
Anyway I reinstalled Photoshop 3 times and CS3 completely 2 times and the last time I run the clean up program as well. No change.
Please help! Thank you very much.

Rosa,
>So, you are also suggesting that I don't upgrade but install new.
NEVER, ever use the "upgrade" option.
Rather, do an "Archive and Install".
>What do I have to take care of beside of making a backup from everything?
Routine maintenance is imperative.
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.
====
Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

Adjusting Levels not working, please help. Photoshop CS3

Anyone have an answer for me? Tech support NOT helpful unless I dish out even more money! Using Photoshop CS3. I am trying to adjust the levels on a very simple bitonal scan from PDF. When I adjust them by going to, Image, adjustments, levels, the preview of it works and it shows what I want, but when I hit OK, it dissapears. If I go to Layers, New Adjustment Layer, Levels, it shows up fine until I save it.. I am trying to save it as a PDF file, and I am saving it with Adobe 6 (1.5) because of compatibility issues (so I've read), it should save layers. But its not saving. Or maybe it's not opening in my Adobe Acrobat? is there an update I need or something? Is there a step I am missing? is anyone else having this problem? Even so, the Level adjust should work regularly while in PS CS3.
THANK YOU!!

make sure you're viewing the preview at 100% zoom. any other zoom level isn't going to give you a true representation of the adjustment you're making...

Can not send my NEF files to Photoshop CS3...Please Help

Hello
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong!! I shoot with a Nikon D300. I use Photoshop CS3 along with Bridge and InDesign. I have Windows Vista. Now that the facts are out of the way........
I have tried installing an update of Camera Raw. I did the following. Please correct me before I pull my hair out!!!
I first removed ACR 4.0 and put it in a folder on my desktop (Camera Raw .8bi)
I then downloaded DNG Camera Raw 4.6 zip from the Adobe site. These were my next steps:
start/computer/double click local c/program files/common files/adobe/plugins/cs3
I then took the DNG camera raw 4.6 and placed it in the last folder (cs3)
I started Bridge. I can see my Raw images there. I double clicked on an image to transfer to photoshop and an error message poped up (once again) saying that photoshop does not support the file. I went to the help section of cs3/about plugins and there was not a camera raw icon I could click on.
Did I install this in the wrong place??? What can I do to obtain these files? I need them to be converted to JPEG or a TIFF.
Someone please have an answer! I'm praying!
Thank you,
Tina

The DNG converter is a stand-alone application which is an alternative to Adobe Camera raw. Particularly useful when your camera is not covered by the latest version of ACR.
It does not go in any specific folder and you have to use it to convert your NEF files to DNG format in order to view them in Bridge and process them in ACR.
You really need to read the instructions on the download pages and in the links there before ploughing on to disaster!

Can't open files in Photoshop CS3...Please Help!!

So last night I was downloading some pictures off my CF cards and apparently I have way too many pictures on my pc and it's full! So I stopped downloading and started deleting!
But while I was doing that, I tried to open some images in photoshop and it just freezes up. The dialog box pops up for a brief second when I try to open the image and then it just disappears. Then I can't click on anything. I have to "ctrl-alt-del" to even shut photoshop down. Does any one know what's up or how I can fix it?
I'm using CS3 and windows xp if that matters...
I have two drives. The drive that I have photoshop on has 184GB left on it...so plenty of space. The other drive...the one I store photos on...only has 32GB left.
I deleted a bunch of photos (need to go buy more DVD's to back up so I can delete more), uninstalled photoshop, cleaned up both hard drives, re-installed photoshop....and it's still doing the same thing. I don't know what else to do....

Cyndi -
I would start with the easiest thing Archive the preference file to your desktop then we can continue from there if that doesnt work.
- Close PS
- Type this into your run menu
%appdata%/adobe/adobe photoshop cs3/
- Now drag the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings folder onto your desktop
- Keep the adobe folder window open
- Launch PS
- If this works then there was something corrupted in the preferences somewhere
- If this doesnt work then delete the newly created preference folder from the adobe folder and drag the one from your desktop back into the adobe folder.
Hope this helps.
