Photoshop CS3 help needed

My Photoshop CS3 extended when loaded on my laptop causes all of my desk top icons to turn to photoshop, the only program that will open is photoshop. This program until recently worked great. Anyone with answers would be a big help. Thanks Jess

If I am understanding what you are describing correctly, that sounds like a virus.
Also, it sounds like Photoshop is still working great, but it is the only program that is working great.
Are the icons on your desktop shortcuts? Or are they files? If they are files, it sounds like they have had their file association set to Photoshop. Which means when you double-click them, the OS will use Photoshop to open them. This is something that is set within the OS, not within Photoshop.

    What tools do you see in the flyout menu?

    What happens if you use Shift+J to cycle through the 4 tools in that slot in the toolbox?

  • Photoshop beginner help needed

    hhello everyone I picked up a used copy of photoshop cs3 and cs4 yesterday and I was wondering how do I find out if I can use these. I understand that there is a serial number and an activation code how many computers and I upload and use this program for. Also if it hasn't been deactivated how can I make it so that I can use it on my own computer. I have the Mac version
    thanks

    Hi Robert,
    The CS3 and CS4 versions of Photoshop are platform specific. One serial number means you can use it on 2 machines provided you are not using them simultaneously.
    In order to obtain the license the previous owner needs to transfer the license to your name.
    Please make sure both of you fill the below form.

  • Photoshop CS3 - HELP!!!!!

    Hello, a few weeks ago I had the bad idea to download Yosemite.
    Since then only problems so I formatted the MacPro purchased in 2010 and when reinstalling Photoshop CS3, I do not read the installation disc. How do I install it? Even from the download of old versions that are not part of the Adobe site. thanks

    Hi,
    Please use the below mentioned link to download CS3. One thing to keep in mind, that we have not Tested and do not recommend using CS3 on Yosemite.
    Download CS3 products

  • CS5 to CS3 help needed now!

    Anyone out there with CS4? I need someone to help me save to CS3 so that I can get some work to my new boss. Please contact me at [email protected] asap please!

    Discussed to death...in short you can't.
    You'll need to export to IDML, open in CS4 and export that to INX.
    By the time you're done there's a reasonable chance that your layout will be unrecognizable.

  • Photoshop CS help needed

    Hello,I am an absolute beginner,I try to use Photoshop but I am not able to do it properly..I mean,I need (big)help....where can I get it?Thanks alot!

    I installed Photoshop CS and have had the world's worst nightmare trying to get it activated.
    Not surprising really. The activation server was permanently decommissioned in 2012.
    You now need to download a fresh, non-activation version of CS2 from Adobe and use the new serial number provided to license it without requiring activation. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • Adobe Flash CS3 help needed

    I need help very badly....
    Here is the reader's digest version.....
    I purchased a flash website template for my local band to try
    to elimate the pain of creating one from scratch. I never used
    Adobe Flash CS3 before, but figured I could figure out enough
    (through reading & forums) to change what I needed to
    personalize my site. Well, I have spent countless hours learning,
    and changing, and have come up with a pretty sweet website using
    this template. I now have only 2 problems left that I can not
    figure out no matter what I try.
    One of my pages is set up so that fans can listen to and/or
    save any of 3 songs that I have recorded in MP3 format. I have
    basically 3 columns set up: the 1st column has the song name, the
    2nd has speaker icons, and the 3rd column has floppy disk icons. I
    want to be able to click the speaker graphic, and play the MP3
    song, or click the floppy disk graphic and enable any fan to save
    the file. I figure there has to be a fairly simple way to do this,
    but I sure can't figure it out, and I'm starting to pull my hair
    out. Please help....
    Remember, I have just basic Adobe CS3 skills so a description
    of what to do has to be fairly easy to understand....
    Thanks in advance!!!

  • Photoshop CS3  Help programme

    The help programme should contain an "additional how to" content enabling me to create my own "how to" tips under the help folder. It doesn't exist. How do I create or import it?
    Roger

    Before that go to
    Window > Workspace and choose the default workspace.
    If that doesn't help go to
    Window > Workspace and choose
    Reset Menus.
    If that doesn't help try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Indesign and Photoshop?HELP NEEDED NOW!!!

    How do I make a copied photoshoped picture bigger without distorting features in indesign? Please help I have  this project due in a couple days and am starting and don't know much about indesign!

    Anytime you enlarge a bitmap bigger than 100% of its pixel dimensions there will be pixelation. It is only as good as it will get at 100% of its original size.
    When you place an image directly on a page its initial placement is at 100%. The scale percentage has nothing to do with pixel dimensions, but rather the image's saved inch dimensions.
    So these 3 images are all at 100%, have the same pixel dimension (1200x750), but have been saved at different pixels per inch 72, 254, 500. The 500ppi image could be scaled to 160% and still have an effective resolution of over 300, and the 72ppi image has a scale of 100%, but not enough resolution for most print applications.

  • Photoshop CS3 - Help with Photomerge

    I'm doing some work in a lab right now and I'm supposed to put together a large photomerge of a cell (about 220 pictures from an electron microscope). They're big pictures - about 2500 by 2500 each. The problem is that the computer can't handle that many pictures at once, so it crashes.
    To avoid this, I made a lot of small photomerges (about 15 pictures each) and started putting them together to make larger photomerges. What happens is that there is a white background behind each of the smaller photomerges and when i put them together, portions of the cell are either faded or completely white. I saw the computer tech do it with CS2, but he's not here today, so I'm not sure about what the problem is. Any help?

    Sorry, was looking on other photomerge threads and I forgot to write these -
    Model: Mac Pro
    Mac OS X - Version 10.5.2
    Memory - 16 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    Free Hard Drive Space - 1770 Gigs? Two HD, one with 840, the other with 930, also an external hard drive with 900 Gigs
    The pictures are 6.3 MB each, and there are 220 of them for this particular cell. There wasn't an error message, but the white interference is the problem. The system is new, but the computer tech showed me how to do it on his computer (with CS2) and it worked there.
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop CS3 - Image Processor; default Grayscale: Size Ratio prompt

    I have just installed Photoshop CS3 and need to use the Image Processor to convert a batch of PCX (14,000 of them) images to JPG. When kicking this process off it does not run automatically as I get a prompt for each file asking me to input the Grayscale; Size Ratio.
    Is there anyway I can disable this prompt so the Image Processor simply converts all the files in the directory specificed. If it's mandatory can I default it anywhere. Having to keep clicking Ok for 14000 files is going to be very time consuming.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Ok, so it looks like what I am after can be achieved, but I am still having problems.
    In your last email one of the first instructions was "start recording an action" - how do I do this? Or is it an automatic feature?
    When following the steps you provided and using the Automate > Batch option I get the errors,
    "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found"
    and then....
    "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop"
    Am I doing something blatantly wrong?
