Photoshop CS3 doesn't like "Lenovo ThinkPad LCD Monitor" color management profile

When launching Photoshop CS3 Extended, I get a warning:
The monitor profile "Lenovo ThinkPad LCD Monitor" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software.
[Ignore Profile] [Use Anyway]
If this can be confirmed, could it please be the target of a minor update/patch?
This recent T61p 15.4" WSXGA+ notbook's monitor is honestly pretty bad in terms of color accuracy. The overall sense is very blue; yellows show up orange. Is this normal? But that's really a side issue. I do most of my work on an external monitor anyway.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you very kindly, Erik; my searches hadn't found that. However, my T61p appears to already have that software -- not surprising as that was released in December and this notebook was built about a month ago.
I tried the instructions given, but Windows said my computer was already up-to-date. I suppose I could try uninstalling what the computer came with and reinstalling the download...
[Edit 1]
Ah, wait... I retried it from the device manager instead of display properties -- here, I could be sure I was picking the proper "monitor" (the display properties showed only my external monitor). It did instal... said I had version 4.0 and v 4.1 has the "fix" according to the readme.
It wants me to reboot. I'll post again if somehow that didn't do it.

[Edit 2]
Yes, indeed... Photoshop no longer complains. So, I wonder why this isn't in the software build or at least in the updates I've been faithfully downloading. But thanks again, Erik.

Photoshop CS3 doesn't open or error occurs, when you Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Lightroom 2

Problem: When you try to Edit in Photoshop CS3 from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, Photoshop CS3 doesn't open, or after Photoshop opens, you see the error message, "Photoshop could not be launched".
This issue is currently being investigated. At present, there are two possible areas that might be causing this issue. Corrupted metadata or a corrupted catalog, or Photoshop CS3 has not been updated to 10.0.1, or the update did not apply correctly to the application.
We are working for a permanent solution for this issue.
Workaround: Please refer to this Adobe
TechNote for further information.

My photoshop CS3 doesn't recognize raw files anymore.

I have an iMac G5 with Photoshop CS3 installed on it. I decided to install on this iMac my husband's French version of Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS3. It turned my Photoshop CS3 (English) to Photoshop Extended CS3 in French.
I tried reinstalling my Photoshop CS3 in English but to no avail. This brought no change. Photoshop is still in French.
Then I realized, when I use this Photoshop CS3 Extended version in French, that I cannot open raw files on it. It either tells me it doesn't recognize this type of files or it does open it and it looks all grey.
Please, I need help. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much to whomever will rescue me!!

How would I update the camera raw pluggin? Mine is 4.0.
Thanks!

Photoshop CS3 doesn't respond when opening a file (jpg or .psd)

I have been using CS3 since it first came out with no trouble at all. I am running OS 10.4.11. Then a couple days ago, when I would open a file, such as a jpg, the color wheel just spins and spins. When I check the finder, it says that Photoshop is not responding, so I Force Quit, restart computer, etc.
After reading the forums, here is what I have done so far, with no luck:
Made sure that I have the most current version of Photoshop CS3.
Relaunched the program - resetting the preferences.
Set the default printer to "PDF."
Moved and renamed the Plug-Ins folder.
I have also uninstalled the program and then reinstalled it. That fixed things for a day or so, but now I am back where I started. I have not made any changes to my computer. I have not downloaded anything new. The only thing I can figure, is that the first time it happened, I was opening a jpg of an image off a CD from a photographer. I had already opened several images from this CD with no problem. I thought that maybe that particular image was corrupt, but once I reinstalled, I was able to open that image with no problem.
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer to me!

Also, out of curiosity, I wanted to see if it would open a new file created in Photoshop (since it launches fine and will open a new document). I tried this and got the spinning color wheel, but the file did save with a preview, but when I tried to open that file --- spinning wheel again.
Then, I thought I would see if I could place a jpg in that new file. It did that fine, but when I tried to save the .psd file, I got the spinning color wheel again.
Thanks!

Photoshop CS3 doesn't open dng-files converted with the adobe dng converter 7.4

Hey Guys,
i got a new camera - sony alpha a57 - which produces arw-files. for being able to work with these pictures on my photoshop cs3 I converted the arw-files to dng-files. now adobe bridge shows only the converted dng-signs, but I can't open them to work on them.
does anyone have an idea what I could do to use these files?
thanx,
rita

Hi,
Sometimes when using the dng converter one needs to set the compatibility settings to the version of camera raw you want to open the files with.

Photoshop CS3 doesn't launch

I know there must be a lot of info out there on how to resolve this issue, but I am having trouble finding anything that works. So, someone please show me where I need to go to see how to fix this issue.
Photoshop CS3 randomly stopped working on my iMac running Snow Leopard (with latest update). When I click the icon in the dock it bounces once and nothing happens. Not even an error message. When I go to the Guest Account CS3 works just fine.

Cant Get Optimal Resolution with Lenovo L192 LCD Monitor after GeForce video driver upgrade

Hello,
I just upgraded my GeForce video drivers for the integrated GeForce 6100 video chipset in my Lenovo 3000 series desktop. My monitor is a Lenovo L192 LCD. It has been working fine but I decided to upgrade the video drivers. After installation and reboot, I can no longer get the optimal resolution of 1440 x 900 for this monitor. The highest resolution offered is 1360 x 768. I had this same problem the last time I upgraded the video drivers but somehow I manged or someone told me how to get the higher resolution. I reverted back to the old driver that was working fine and now I can't get the higher resolution with that driver either. I think I have the latest driver provided by Lenovo for the monitor.
I am running Windows XP SP3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could you fix it or does anyone else have a solution?

Bridge doesn't allow me to turn on color management

Any idea why Bridge doesn't allow me to edit/turn on color management? When I go to Edit>Creative Suite Color Settings I just get an error. Says I must launch at least one qualifying CS product. As I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PS CS5 running I never know what the issue is. Any ideas? Adobe help is useless on this.

If that is the case, Adobe needs to do a better job in how the settings function. For example, instead of just getting an error message with a confusing statement, the message would provide further clarification and also solutions. The message says one needs to have at least one program running to set up color management. It doesn't say one entire color suite. But thanks so much for responding to my questions.
A bit of the problem is that writing a manual and a help file is not that easy at all. But when it comes to complicated applications like PS and combined with other applications it really is a difficult task. I'm not saying Adobe succeeds clearly in this task because it is not easy to find your way in the new help files but with a bit effort you will soon explore there is a lot of information about understanding color in the PS on line manual (use the menu help / Photoshop Help and your browser shows a page from product support. Top right above there is the option to download the PDF manual. And in the provided list on your browser window you see also the option for Creative Suite, click on it and you will see a complete chapter about Color Management.
While I know a bit of this subject I'm certainly no expert. It is a complex matter but the basics are not that difficult and the result of your learning effort will pay it self back
Another issue I have noticed is that Bridge does not do a good job at updating thumbnails. I frequently have to hit F5 to refresh when this should happen automatically. I use a Windows 7 machine and perhaps all of this works better on Macs - I don't know.
That should not be needed on either Mac or Windows. While no knowledge of Windows at all to me it seems related to a cache problem. First point Bridge to the folder that gives you this problem and then choose the menu Tools/ cache / purge cache for folder. See if this gives better results. If so and you have other folders with same problem use the option to purge the entire cache and have a fresh start. You need a bit of time because all thumbs and previews have to rebuild.

Photoshop CS3 doesn't open jpg and psd anymore

I use PSCS3 for one year without any problem.And now, when trying to open jpg or psd files I get this message:
"cannot open photoshop.exe because DLBCGF.DLL is absent"
When I click away this message a few (10 ) times, the file does open...?
I searched for this file and copied it into system 32 and another time into photoshop itself without any result.
A desinstallation and reïnstallation of PSCS3 didn't help.
Raw files do open without any problem.
Any help is more then welcome !

To explain: DLLs are a collection of executable code bits, but not necessarily a single file contains all bits and pieces for a given operation. Whenever a program requests a certain function from one DLL, this may mean that in turn that function may go on the lookout for another sub-function it needs. So if e.g. in your situation you open up a file, it will call up a specific piece of the printer driver, probably looking for color profile information/ color metrics. These snippets then might call another segment of a DLL, which contains either a settings panel to make adjustments or switch to another color profile, settings for paper size and rasterization, ink status monitor and whatnot. If you will, you could imagine it as a family of parents, children, brothers and sisters and even remote cousins who on their own can achieve nothing, but when combining their wits and individual strengths can give you a certain functionality.

Lenovo Thinkpad T60 / Monitor Issue

When I boot up my computer intermittently the bottom half of the screen is horizontal garbled. I can put the top down to put in hibernate mode and open up and press the on button and most of the time it will fix the problem. Any clues??? Thanks for any info!!!

Since you are a Telephone engineer, dealing with cables and reading manual must be piece of cake for you. Luckily, Lenovo offers a fantastic manual that you follow each step of the way to diassemble every part of the laptop.

Is there any option like about:onfig to solve color management problems in Android-Firefox ?

The most eyes and brains of us all demand real colors.
People that works as artists, retailers, developers and so on, wish to present their product or content online on small devices that run with Android and similar.
People that serach products and content will still see false colors on their devices not by the lack of color space in the displays but by the lack of the colorspace-transfere.
Firefox for Desktop now works well but what about Android.
Is there a tweak like about:config?
Many onlineshops art-selling websites and photostocks now invite people to use mobile devices without nowing the problem.
Please clarify.

Using 16 bit color is a large performance win. We do this on devices with less than 700 MB of RAM. Modern Android devices should be using 24 bit color.
What device are you experiencing the issue on?

PE6- error message with Lenovo ThinkPad monitor

The monitor profile "Lenovo ThinkPad LCD monitor" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor callibration software. Choices are Ignore Profile and Use Anyway. What does this mean? Neither choice allows me to do anything or changes anything.
Also, my dropdown choices on top... File, Edit, Image etc.. don't allow me to select anything.
I have an IBM thinkPad running Vista.. and it works for everything I have done. I don't understand this error. I know I can only change the DPI to 16 or 32. Is that the reason?

Basically, it means what it says: the .icc profile for your screen has been corrupted somehow, and a new (or restored) one is required.
You have several options, in the preferred order:
1. Calibrate the screen using a hardware calibrator. This not only fixes the problem, but gives you a correct color response (within limitations).
2. Run Adobe Gamma if you're still on CS2 or CS. The same, but not as accurate.
3. Use the recovery disc (or partition) to restore your laptop to its factory state.
4. Do nothing. Click ignore profile. This tells your screen to use a standard profile called sRGB. Probably close enough.
Edit: it's possible the recovery disc lets you restore individual drivers etc. in addition to the full package. Start it up and see what it says.

Photoshop cs3 freezes in leopard 10.6

Hey everyone,
First post here. Up until about a week ago I've been running the Adobe CS3 suite under OS 10.5 with no real problems (except the usual freeze when running too many!) After installing the 10.6 update, photoshop would freeze every time I attempted to use a tool on the image (eraser, brush, etc).
I then read on another separate forum to do a reinstall and backup of OS 10.5 and to NOT upgrade to 10.6. I did this and now photoshop works fine - it works again. Only problem is I'd like to have the new Safari browser and the other features with 10.6.
Apple, do you know why photoshop CS3 doesn't work with the latest OS upgrade? Will you have a patch for this soon?
Please help - thanks!

@ Templeton Peck - Jeez - what crawled up your b* - this guy has a problem which directly relates to an update of an Apple product. His CS3 was working prior to the 10.5.6 update and now its not.
Third party or not this is an Apple forum and therefore a good resource for problem solving issues.
Might I suggest in future you direct more effort into helping people with problems rather than ripping them for seeking help.
+With that in mind...+
I have a similar problem with CS3 on the Mac, try resetting the preference as stated above. Repair your permissions too. It is worth noting that occasionally I have issues with CS3 on my MacPro freezing when I have Microsoft office programs open. It seems to be more prevalent when doing something complex - smart layers or moving images from one PSD to another. The software hasn't crashed (although it says not responding in the force quit box) it has merely frozen. Depending on how complex the artwork it normally comes back after a short while and starts responding again. I am led to believe that it is due to Microsoft Office not being optimised for Multi-core processors. It happens possibly a couple of times a day but there is no hard and fast rule to it happening.
In your defense - I always start here for anything related to my Mac as normally the people here are very helpful (Peck not being a good example), before heading out on a bigger search. (And Especially as the Adobe forum is woefully hard to find any information on easily)
Good luck...
Hope this helps...

Photoshop CS3 web gallery bugs(?); vanishing metadata, bad sort order

Running OS 1.5.4 on 24" Imac, I'm attempting to generate a "horizontal slideshow" from bridge-selected files in Photoshop CS3.
[Sounded like the problem in this post: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2 but on re-reading I've decided it's different so I'm giving it it's own thread, with more detail...]
Here's my experience:
1) Description and title show up for a second on the first slide, then revert to just the blank template on that and all subsequent slides (title: [blank] description: [blank]....
Hitting "refresh" produces the descriptive metadata for a tantalizing moment, then it' s back to the blank template for this and all subsequent slides. It does this both for Safari and Firefox.
You can view this behavior in a slideshow at http://oasisdesign.net/projects/earthtoilet/
If it asks for a password, use---
user:earthling
pass: draf1 )
"preserve all metadata" is checked.
I've tried all combinations of checking/ unchecking "title, description, filename" for labeling...also, making slideshows with just one or two slides to reduce the chance that it's a weird character issue of the type some other folks have experienced...
2) additionally, the web gallery is not respecting the manual sort order in Bridge, which is the source of the files. The help files say the slideshow should follow the manual sort order in Bridge.
3) Finally, metadata entered in bridge metadata tab sometimes vanishes, sometimes metadata entered in file info wouldn't show in the metadata tab.
Thanks for your help!!

BTW, here's the related issues I found:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2
...After some investigation, I found that the descriptions were disappearing only for photos that had a Return / Line Break in the description. If you go back and make sure all of your descriptions are a single line, it works fine....
=Don't have line breaks, nor "and" nor &...
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bff9de1/0
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bd62ec3/0

OK...here's the hack I used to get around what I'm now totally convinced are program bugs and shortcomings relative to advertised functionality, for anyone else who has to deal with this, followed by my (suggested fixes to Adobe)...
1) Sort everything the way you want in bridge.
2) Make meta descriptions w/o weird characters (a warning here would be helpful)
3) Use "batch rename," with "copy to another folder" to give the images totally plain vanilla, DOS-style file names (001.jpg, 002.jpg...). This solves most filename issues and the works around web gallery's failure to recognize bridge sort order in one go. Note that you can irrevocably screw up the names of all your original files if you're not very careful to COPY at this step.
([a] make the bridge sort work directly, as advertised, por favor. [b] add an error message or warning about file names such as 006-(2).jpg causing malfunction. A compassionate, low-effort short-term patch for Mac users of web gallery, especially since bridge generates that particular sort name itself invisibly and automatically if you move a file with the same name into a folder)
4) Use "white on black" instead of bug-ridden "horizontal slideshow" (horizontal slideshow should be fixed or deleted from the next version...multiple slideshow options would be awesome, as they advance automatically at the max rate the user's bandwidth allows, a very attractive feature)
5) Restrict all images to the same height so users can click *in the same spot* to advance the 200 images with less carpal tunnel (the advance arrow should *always* be in the same spot, for every web gallery, IMHO)
Web galleries are a fantastic tool for sharing information easily...I hope to see some evolution in those great automatic updates someday...

Freezing Photoshop CS3

Hey guys, just bought a new pc:
Asus AM3
AMD X2 6400+
2x Kingston 512MB 533
2x Corsair 1GB 533
XFX GF 8800GT
Thermaltake Purepower 2.0 - 600W
Running Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP Pro SP2
It is a very fast machine, but when I'm using Photoshop CS3, it freezes, like a slow CPU...
It runs fast for heavy operations, like applying filters, but freezes with very simple operations, like creating a new blank layer... when I press CTRL+L for levels, it takes a long time to appear the levels window...
Also, the mouse pointer 'jumps', freezes...
I tried to change the "scratch disk" options... and it still freezes...
Any help?
Thanks for now!

Hey Bill, thanks for help!
So... I got 3 HDDs:
1 80GB 7200RPM ATA (C: 80GB)
2 250GB 7200RPM SATA (D: 100GB / E: 150GB)
3 120GB 7200RPM ATA (F: 120GB)
And about the memories, they're running fine with Illustrator, Corel, InDesign etc... Only Photoshop is running slow.
And there is a weird thing, PS only show 1711MB of available RAM.
I set up 1280MB for PS. Cache: 8 levels, History States: 256
Scratch disks on D: (SATA = faster)...
I used to set up the same config on my old PC (3200+,1GB RAM).
And the Windows virtual memory is set up to 2046~4096MB.
Thank you again!
PS: Sorry for bad english, I'm brazilian :)
