Photoshop CS3 - I cannot change file format

This just happened now and I've restarted few times. I open a TIF file, got to "Save As..." and choose JPEG. The extension does not change in the file name on top and if I do try and hit "Save" I am given the JPEG Options and if I hit "OK" the file that is saved is still a TIF.
Please help.

I don't even have the download option button, and the save file doesn't work after reach 99% save...
what does downloading have to do with saving? you make no sense.

HELP! Suddenly cannot change file names..

Last night after a brief power cut I found, inevitably, I had lost a photoshop image I hadn't saved, but everything else seemed OK. To be sure I checked Disk Utility. The HD was OK but some odd issues appeared in permissions which I told to repair. This then said all OK.
Whether my present problem is related to the power cut or repairing permissions I don't know, but -
Now I cannot change file titles. If I click on an icon title to bring up the normally re-typeable title pane, and try, nothing happens. I'm stuck with the existing name. Is there a simple way of rectifying this?
Guidance please........

Ooops... I just did a Restart and the title function works OK again! But why did it lose its functionality last time?

How do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

how do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

Hi
Part of it - in my way of doing is
Roxio Toast™ Pro incl BD-component.
• Burn short AVCHD - on standard DVDs (20-30 minutes at HD quality) - NEED Blu-Ray player to be viewed
or BD-burner and disks - for full Blu-Ray Disks (not got to this yet)
I think that saving as .mpeg4 H.264 and save on USB-memory to be put into PlayStation3 also keep high quality playback.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 crashing at open file screen

Hi all
I've searched online but can't find a relative discussion or solution.
I have Adobe Photoshop CS3. My system is Windows 7 and it's 64-bit (that's about as far as my hardware/technical knowledge goes...).
The problem has only started happening today. Open PS, and go to FILE>OPEN. A sub screen is opened. On the left of this sub-screen are a variety of short cut locations such as 'My Documents', 'My Pictures' and 'My Computer'. Clicking on any of these shortcut tabs results in PS crashing.
The only thing I can think of that has changed since the last time I used PS CS3 on my machine (and I use it daily) is the following:
Installed trial version of Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014
From this, to watch a Flash video of AutoCAD demo I had to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (it was 2011 I believe).
Following the CS3 crashing problems I uninstalled Flash player and re-started but still no luck.
Have not touched AutoCAD yet.
Any thoughts / comments? My company is looking to invest in AutoCAD so CS3 will need to learn to live alongside AutoCAD (IF AutoCAD is the problem, but I think this is unlikely).
Let me know what you all think!
Thanks
David

Thanks for all the replies.
We (myself and our company IT guy) just tried several of the above, plus some other things.
1. Shift/ctl/alt reset preferences. Did not solve the problem.
2. Video driver upgrade. Did not solve the problem.
3. Complete reinstall of CS3. Did not solve the problem.
4. Install old video driver (apparently this solved a similar problem in another area of the company). Did not solve the problem.
5. System rollback/restore (to 20-11-2013 settings). PROBLEM SOLVED!
We have a suspicion therefore that the Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014 may be something to do with it. We will find out later/tomorrow as I need to get some stuff done in CS3 now (can't afford more lost time!).
Will update once we have reinstalled AutoCAD LT 2014 as to whether this changed anything.
Thanks again

Photoshop CS3 won't save files as ".png"?

I have the same problem as the creator of this thread...
http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080417004746AAjYbui
...except, his solution did not work for me. In Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Mac, I cannot "Save For Web". The button is there, but it is disabled for some reason...
I have the image in RGB Mode as everyone says it should, and have kept it in 8bt resolution. I can save everything as ".psd", ".jpg", and many other files - but not ".png". It simply does not appear in the drop-down menu when I select "File - Save As".
Also, people have mentioned an "Alpha layer" or "Alpha channel", but I do not know what those are.
Please advise on how I can fix this without having to reinstall, if possible.
Thanks!

Check the bit depth and color mode of the document.
And check that the plugins are installed.

Photoshop CS3 Won't Open Files in Windows 7 64-bit

Hi All,
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on my desktop. When I try to open an image file in Photoshop CS3, the program hangs and never opens it. I have attemped PSD's, JPG's, GIF's and PNG's.
I have right-clicked on the program and selected to run it as an administrator. I have set up a compatibility profile as Windows XP SP3. I have tried both at the same time and there's been no change.
Any thoughts how I can conquer this beast??
Thanks!

Change the default printer to something local, and that you know is available (either a PDF print, or an attached printer).
The most common cause of this is a remote printer that isn't available, and the driver takes it's sweet time returning.

CS2/CS3/CS4: Cannot get file path in Unicode of the current document on Windows

Hi All,
In my automation plugin I need to have full absolute path of the opened document with any possible non-English letters. Using SDK examples Listener and Getter that come with Photoshop SDK the full absolute path which I obtain is in the default ANSI code page (CP_ACP) and I can convert it to Unicode using MultiByteToWideChar() API. However this works well when I have corresponding to document name language set in the "Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced -> Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use." For example if name of the document has Russian letters and chosen language in "Regional and Language Options" is also Russian the described conversion works well. If I change "Regional and Language Options" to English for example, full path returned by Photoshop SDK API (AliasToFullPath in PIUFile.cpp) for the document with Russian letters will contain "????????.psd" symbols.
So I need to have an ability to get absolute file path in Unicode. Is it possible in Photoshop CS2/CS3/CS4 for Windows? I have searched forum and SDK but could not find info on it.
Is it possible to have native HANDLE of the opened file to get file info using Windows API?
Please advice.
Below given slightly modified code from Photoshop CS3 which I use to get absolute file pat of the opened document.
Thanks and regards,
Sergey
std::string outFilePath;
int32 theID = 0;
SPErr error = kSPNoError;
error = PIUGetInfo(classDocument, keyDocumentID, &theID, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
Handle theFileHandle = NULL;
error = PIUGetInfoByID(theID, classDocument, keyFileReference, &theFileHandle, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
int32 length = sPSHandle->GetSize(theFileHandle);
Boolean oldLock = FALSE;
Ptr pointer = NULL;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, true, &pointer, &oldLock);
if (pointer != NULL)
outFilePath = (char*)pointer;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, oldLock, &pointer, &oldLock);

Hi All,
Does anybody know, whether it is possible to get Unicode file path of the current document in Photoshop via Photoshop SDK API or without them?
Thanks,
Serhiy

Illustrator CS3 Import and Export File Format list?

Hello,
Has anyone typed up an updated supported import and export file format list for CS3? I used to reference a support knowledgebase document, 1001741, (no longer on Adobe's site) that showed the majority of file formats and versions that Illustrator was able to import. I searched all over and couldn't find one, then called support and they confirmed they no longer had a list like that available--they had split the import options into separate lists--like what versions of Photoshop files, what versions of .eps files, .tiff files etc. Illustrator CS3 could open.
The reason I was looking because I wanted to see what version Corel file CS3 could open after I was not able to open a customer's v.12 .cdr file.
Thanks,
Rick H.

I am pretty sure that the last supported version of Corel that AI can open is version 10.

Can Photoshop CS3 be used with files from Lightroom 5?

I have Photoshop CS3 and I am considering buying Lightroom 5. Does anyone know if output from Lightroom 5 can be processed in Photoshop CS3?

The process engine in LR 5 is equivalent to ACR 8.1(Process version 2012) in PS CS 6 or PS CC.
So if you are using LR 5 you have the equivalent of the latest version of ACR, do all the processing of your raw files with Lightroom. When you are ready to make other advanced editing functions in PS CS3 you use the "edit in function" and a tiff or psd file is rendered by LR and sent to Photoshop.
The only disadvantage is that you cannot use the "edit in function" to make ACR in PS CS3 render the raw file with LIghtroom adjustments, since it is just not capable of reading the full adjustments from LR 5.
PS CS3 uses ACR 4.x (Process version 2003)
This is why you have to use LR to create the tiff/psd file for use in PS CS. In the final analysis when you have completed your work in PS CS you still are left with an additional file tiff/psd.

Photoshop CS3 Not Reading CR2 files ( Suddenly stopped reading!)

Hi All...
      I have been using photoshop CS3 for years now to work on CR2 Camera Raw formats ( Canon 40D). After months of not working on any photos
      now that i try to open any CR2 file i receive the message that says :
      "Photoshop Does not recognize this type of file"
        I have OS 10.5.8
        I searched Adobe website and did download Camera Raw 6.6 convertor but i think it is not a correct application for CS3.
        I would appreciate if you can provide the link for the correct upgrade for me or let me know how can i fix this problem. thanks

Photoshop CS3 can take only up to Camera Raw 4.6. Camera Raw 4.6 DOES understand Canon 40D files.
I don't know why it would have stopped working for you, but a good start would be to make sure you have 4.6. Go to the Help - About Plug-in... menu (might be in a different place than Help on a Mac; I'm a PC guy) and look for Camera Raw.
If you don't have Camera Raw 4.6, go to this page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4039
If after ensuring you have Camera Raw 4.6 you still see the problem, I would worry that somehow your photo files have become corrupted, or that something else is wrong with your system. Let us know here if the problem persists.

Photoshop CS3 wont open any files?

I'm running photoshop cs3 and recently every time I try and open a file nothing happens, well what happens is I see the open file box pop up and disappear and then I can not do anything in PS, every time I click something I hear a noise and thats it, I have to restart Photoshop.
The only way to open a file is if I drag and drop a file in PS.
I'm running windows XP service pack 2 if that helps at all, and yes I have reinstalled and the problem still persists.

and if that doesn't work, try this:

Photoshop CS3 extremely slow opening files

Recently my Photoshop CS3 Extended has been taking an extremely long time to open files of all sizes as well as to create a new document. It takes several minutes to open files. While Photoshop is attempting to open, the program is unresponsive.
Photoshop version 10.0.1
OS: Vista 64bit
PC: HP tablet
Ram: 4G
Processor: AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-86 2.4GHz

That's good advice from John there Liz and if you really lose patience, uninstall the whole thing and re-install it. You should get your original speed back then - I'm assuming that all your other programs are running normally.

How to change file format?

i opened a classpath file with IE and selected the "always open with" option. from then it is showing the IE symbol for classpath file. how to change this for original format.? please tell me..

georgemc wrote:
It's also nothing to do with file formats. File extensions may hint at format, but that's about itTrue, but that is what windows uses to determine the program to use to "open" it, which is all he wants (at least as far as I was able to determine from his question). The file itself is a simple text file.
Edit: Also, seemingly under Vista there is no way to change that starting from "folder options", you have to come at it from a different direction (but I don't know from where, only that I no longer find the option under "folder options" anywhere).

is it possible in java to do this kind of thing????
You can't just generically go from one format to
another.
If you have specific set of acceptable image formats
and video formats you can sit down and plan how to do
it in Java.
There are many formats that you can convert using
Java but not all possible formats.can you give me any hint or code to do how to change media formats from one format to another
