Photoshop CS3 improperly removed... Can't be reinstalled

Ok, so.
I had the BETA of Photoshop CS3 on my computer months ago. It was improperly removed (dragged to the trash), and not I cannot install the Photoshop CS3 Trial. When I go install, it says that it conflicts with Photoshop CS3.
Can anyone help?

I did exactly what you did and remove the beta version manually over a month ago. It took me over five hours to figure out the following solution. What follows is exactly how I did it, and that part took slightly less then an hour.
1. You must deactivate (Adobe says any CS3 eg. Bridge application will work) but I was able to reinstall the beta verison and do it with Photoshop. Once that's reinstalled you will get an error message that says you have an expired pass word. I manually changed the date on my computer to April 16, 2007 and much to my surprise I was able to deactivate. Once the deactivation starts you will get a message its working and then its completed.
2. You then go throught the beta version of uninstall, but thats not all. Photoshop still will not load.
3. There are a bunch of other programs that Adobe has listed at the bottom almost hidden part of their tech note titled "Manually Remove Photoshop CS3 public beta (MAC OS X)" Only after these programs are also remove will you be able to load CS3.
Finally, for me the beta version was a disaster, for example it really screwed up my abbility to process raw files on any version of Photoshop/
G4 with 800 MHz DP   Mac OS X (10.3.9)

  • Trying to reinstall Photoshop CS3 after removing trial version of PS CS4

    Hi,
    I'm on an HP laptop - Win XP Home Edition - 1 gb RAM, plenty of space.
    So, after major, continuous crashing in Photoshop CS3, I decided to see if CS4 would work ok. It was nice, but I let the trial expire and decided to continue to see if 3 would get in gear.
    I removed the trial software (i thought)
    Today, I uninstalled CS3, so I could reinstall the whole thing rather than repairing it. It won't reinstall because the CS4 files have been moved.
    is there some way to completely wipe out all reference to 4?
    thanks in advance!

    ok - well, I found the informationin KB 401401 to be the most helpful - after wiping out the entire suite of CS3 -  finally got it to reinstall (after the second time)...
    NOW, back to my ORIGINAL issue - Photoshop CS3 crashes every time I open a second photo... So... there's that again. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thank yOU!!

  • HT204036 Java SE 6 on Mavericks for Photoshop CS3 only?  Can I also run modern Java?

    I keep up with the most current versions of software -- but not Photoshop. 
    I'm still running Photoshop CS3 which insists on Java SE 6.
    The rest of the apps need the modern versions.
    How can I force Photoshop to run SE 6 while other apps use the current version?

    Thank you, Kappy.  Full release Photoshop is just too pricy, so I purchased Photoshop Elements.  So far it has done what I need to do.  I'll just uninstall CS3.

  • Photoshop CS3 & Outlook 2007 - Can't copy and Paste

    I've recently converted to win7 and office 2007.  Under vista and office 2003 I could select an embedded image in an email, copy it to the clipboard, and then do a file/new in photoshop and paste the image.  Every since going to vista and office 2007, this will not work.  I can select the image and copy it, but photoshop cannot paste it.  The paste command remains greyed out.
    I tried copy and past into Microsoft Paint and that works.  I tried copy and paste in Paint Shop Pro XI and that works.  I tried copy and paste from Paint Shop to photoshop and that works.  I just can't copy and paste from outlook 2007 to photoshop.
    Is this another "feature" from microsoft?

    I just made a quick test with Outlook 2007 and Photoshop CS5 64 and 32 bit on Windows7 64 bit.
    From the embedded images that I tried in Outlook there are 2 kinds of selections, one that works and another that doesn't. I'm not familiar at all with designing emails and don't even know what programs, scripting, programing, etc is used for creating and designing emails (I won't mind if someone enlightens me) but when I right click on a image and choose copy on some of the images appear selection handles similar to the transformation box in Photoshop and I can even move the handles in Outlook as if it is going to scale the images but it does nothing at the end. When I copy images with such selection handles they cannot be pasted in Photoshop where Paste menu is dimmed, but can be pasted in other programs like Microsoft Paint and even in other Adobe programs like Illustrator, Flash, and Dreamweaver, but not in InDesign where pasting produced an empty text box. Then if I copy the pasted image from any of these programs I can paste it without a problem in Photoshop.
    Now here's the trick, copy and paste works from Outlook to Photoshop if the image doesn't show these slection handlles when I right click and choose copy, but when it does, if I select it in a different way, like a text by dragging between before and end of image to highlight it, then right clicking and choosing copy works without a problem when pasting it in Photoshop.
    Have you tried reporting this issue to Adobe?  I have made feature requests in the forum for that on this site but I have never reported bugs and don't know what are the channels. If it hasn't been reported, I think they will be interested to know this issue.

  • Trouble reinstalling photoshop cs3

    Recently, cs3 has stopped working for me. One day I tried to open it and it wouldn't respond. I tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it and it didn't work - it says failed to install Adobe Photoshop CS3. All the shared components reinstall, but CS3 doesn't.
    I downloaded the trial version of CS4 to see if that would work, but again it told me that Adobe Photoshop CS4 has failed to install. And again, all the shared components managed to install.
    Can anybody tell me how to fix this?

  • "Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3"

    Hello,
    I installed Photoshop CS3 Trial and whenever I run it and choose to begin my trial period I get the following error message:
    "Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3".
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even ran the Adobe CS3Clean Script but nothing seems to help.
    I should note I never installed any earlier version of Photoshop on my system (I use a fresh copy of Windows XP with only a few programs installed).
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • How to make Bridge CS4 compaitible with Photoshop CS3?

    (MacBook Pro, OS 10.5)
    After suffering many crashes and terrible performance of Photoshop CS4, I want to switch back to Photoshop CS3. But there is one thing that holds me - Bridge CS4 is so damn good, that I still want to continue using it. Unfortunately, Bridge CS4 doesn't have the Automation scripts that use Photoshop CS3, it only can run them with Photoshop CS4... If I remove Photoshop CS4, the Automation menu just disappears from the Tools menu in Bridge
    Please help, is there any way I can run those Batch automations on from Bridge CS4 on Photoshop cs3? I'm not a programmer, so please be more clear, if it involves altering some files...

  • Cannot Run OR update Photoshop CS3 on MacBook 10.6.2

    My previous computer was running Tiger.  Its motherboard died and I had to get a new computer.  I'm now on a MacBook Pro  5,3, Intel Core 2 Duo, Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz, Memory: 4 GB.
    When I first noticed an issue running Photoshop CS3 on this new computer, I reinstalled the program from the CD.  I still had issues -- it won't stay 'open', or I can't open files, work with them and save them.
    The Version Cue 3.1 updater ran this morning and wouldn't intall the update.  Error message:: "The update cannot be applied to the product.  Please re-install the product and try again.    I'm not sure what else to do since re-installing Photoshop CS3 from the CD didn't help, and I don't have access to the computer I had it running on previously.
    Anyone have any suggestions? Fixes?
    Thank you!

    It almost sounds like a Rosetta problem, but Snow Leopard starts Rosetta automatically for apps that need it, and if it isn't installed, it prompts you to download it the first time it needs it.
    I'd say beyond uninstalling, get rid of all the preference and application support files from both your user library and the Mac HD library, THEN reinstall it.
    A lot of times bad preferences remain behind and affect the reinstalled software just the way they did when it first went bad.

  • Automator and Adobe Photoshop CS3

    Hi All,
    I have never used Automator so i am not sure if this is what it is for but I want to be able to apply a watermark to all my images by opening them from a folder in Adobe Photoshop CS3, applying the watermark image then saving and closing the image.
    Is this possible?
    Sorry if this is in the wrong area, i was not sure where to post it, it could even be an Adobe question???
    Any help is much appreciated.
    cheers,
    Andrew

    You have already received an answer using actions in Photoshop and this would give you great flexibility regarding your steps in the action.
    However, if you want to use Automator you can download "Photoshop Automator Actions v3.5". This set includes a watermark action as well as 85 other actions to be used with Photoshop CS3.

  • BRIDGE THUMBNAILS in Photoshop CS3

    I have the Photoshop CS3 and I can´t see the thumbnails pictures on the Bridge I can only see the NEF folders with all the metadata information, but no images at all. What can I do?
    This is my computer:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2

    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz

    Jose
    Do you have quick thumbnails checked or high quality? I use quick.
    Using your description (see only folders and metadata), and looking at my screen in Details here is what I see.
    When I click on Details I see a single column of thumbnails with metadata on the right side. In your current situation do you get any thumbnails? If I have the folder tree displayed I get just the icons, title, and date created and date modified.
    Could it be you are just looking at the directory tree rather than the folder with pictures in it?
    If nothing seems to work I would suggest you reset preferences by holding down Ctrl when starting Bridge. You will get a reset window. Choose all 3 options.

  • Upgrade Photoshop CS3 to CS4: preparations?

    Hi,
    I just purchased Photoshop CS4 upgrade. I have CS3 installed. Do I have to uninstall Photoshop CS3 before I can install CS4 or can I just install CS4 over CS3? Since this is an upgrade version, does it require CS3 to be present?
    Thanks in advance!

    The upgrade does require either CS3 to be installed or the serial number from CS3.
    You can install both CS3 and Cs4 on the same system. They are wholly independent.
    Whether or not you uninstall CS3 is your choice. But if you do, be certain to save any custom actions, brushes, styles, etc., first.

  • Batch change jp2 files to Photoshop (CS3)

    I found a website that allows you to download old (public domain) books. Each page is saved as a jp2, which I can't open in Photoshop CS3. I found an plugin that enables me to open them, and I could have sworn it was working, but it suddently stopped working for some reason.
    Anyway, I have a folder full of folders with over a thousand jp2 images. I can open them in Pixelmator and save them as Photoshop files, but that's very time consuming. So, can anyone tell me if there's a way to do a batch change - convert every jp2 image in the folder to a format that I can open in Photoshop CS3?
    Also, can anyone recommend an online guide to batch changing. I'd like to learn how to batch change file sizes; for example convert all images that are 4,000 pixels wide to 500 pixels wide. I'd also like to learn how to batch change file names. I probably have to pursue each of these separately, but I just wondered if there's some sort of online central guide to batch changing.
    Thanks.

    ".jp2" is just the file extension for JPEG 2000, which a number of applications can open, including your Photoshop CS3, Photoshop 13 ("CS6"), Apple Preview, GraphicConverter, Safari, Firefox, etc..  Just install the JPEG2000.plugin from the Optional Plug-Ins folder in your CS3.
