Photoshop CS3 not working

Hi, I have CS3, and recently, while working in Photoshop, several functions that would normally be available suddenly didn't work. The most obvious of which was that it did not allow me to set up a new file according to the specifications I would like. My only choices were preset options. Not sure what to do.. Uninstall, reinstall? Is there a setting on my Mac that I need to change? Any help would be appreciated!

That seemed to do it! Thank you.

  • Raw plugin photoshop CS3 not working

    Have a new laptop Samsung QX412, can't get raw to open in photoshop cs3. It works in my desktop. Laptop running windows 7 (64) Home. Photoshop shows "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". Have updated both photoshop CS3 and bridge. Photo's being saved in bridge from camera, Canon 50D. Have tried comments from windows forum. Still no go. As someone else has said, I'm a photographer not an IT expert and starting to get quite frustrated. I would appreciate help. Thankyou.

    To use Windows effectively, sometimes you just have to get into the technical aspects of using the computer...
    Search your system in the vicinity of the folders used for Photoshop plug-ins (e.g., under C:\Program Files\Common Files) for multiple copies of the file Camera Raw.8bi and note the dates/sizes.  Somehow, because of a mistake in trying to install it, I suspect you have multiple copies, and Photoshop is still using one other than the one you installed.
    Normally, Photoshop CS3 will look for Camera Raw.8bi in this location:
    (on a 32 bit operating system):  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
    (on a 64 bit operating system): C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
    The Camera Raw 4.6 plug-in file on my system has these characteristics (note specifically the size).

  • Why did my copy of Photoshop CS3 stop working? The message tells me that Adobe has stopped licensing it. I love it. I want to use it. How?

    My copy of Photoshop CS3 has stopped working. I love it. I am very familiar with it. I paid hundreds of dollars for it. When I click on it (W/my MAC) I get a message that reads: "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the product by contacting Adobe Customer Support."
    So how do I repair it so it works again? I've called the "Chat" forum three times and they do nothing. Please help...I use this Photoshop CS3 for work.
    I have the serial number, but not the original disc which was damaged.
    Thank you in advance.

    I am trying to run it under Mac OS 10.9.5

    The simplest way to clear it up is usually a re-install. Here is a link to the installers: Download CS3 products. Have your serial number ready.
    If this fails, I am going to direct you to this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1714695 Start at post #11.

  • Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Help... Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
    Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
    There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
    Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
    Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
    You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
    This will convert your newer 7100 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS3.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

    Hi Hardy Tasso,
    Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
    Please try:
    Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

  • Version Cue CS3 not working. Photoshop not opening.

    Hello,
    I have just installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard on my new MacBook Pro. I have activated it. However when i start Version Cue CS3 and check for updates i get the message "No Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and /or firewall. Waiting for connection...". I have turned off my firewall and the antivirus program and I still cannot get it to work.
    I also cannot start Photoshop CS3. When I open the application a blank window titled "Adobe Design Suit Standard CS3" appears as well as Photoshop toolbars which I cannot select. All the options on the toolbar is greyed out and I cannot select any of them. I have to force quit the application.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Photoshop CS3 not opening after Cloud trial

    I have a licensed version of Photoshop CS3. I did a trial of Adobe Cloud InDesign, uninstalled that (not easy), and now my PS will not launch. I have unistalled PS CS3, reinstalled it (numerous times), and when I click on it in Applications it just bounces in my Mac dock and then essentially just freezes.  I'm really peeved.

    There used to be a weird bug where this didn't work when there was an accented character (like ø, ä, etc.) somewhere in the path to the file, in the filename itself or in the metadata, the file simply wouldn't open in CS3. Don't know if that ever was fixed, but might be something to check.

  • Photoshop CS3 "Not enough scratch memory available" error.

    Hi,
    I am Using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Version 10.0 and I keep getting the error "Not enough Scratch memory available to perform this action" whenever I try to Save a .psd file to a .jpg/.jpeg file.
    I did go to Edit -> Preferences -> Performance, and add my other two partitions as scratch disks, also put up my E: drive as the primary scratch disk on the top of the list (Which has 80GB's of space) but I still keep getting this error.
    My file (the .psd that i am trying to save to a .jpg) has a total size of 56MB and 300dpi with 4 or 5 layers in it and the target jpg file is supposed to be 12inches by 20inches.
    Some other things I have tried is celaring the %temp% folder, Defragmenting my Hard Drive(s), Disk Cleanup, set my System Page file to 4GB, but all this is of no use.
    I know that I have enough RAM and Hard disk space so please help me get rid of this problem.
    Also, this maybe a stupid question but, does the type of RAM and Processor you are using effect this? I have a DDR RAM.. 2GB, I know its outdated, its our office computer I am working on.. My Processor is a Core 2 Duo which isnt bad.
    HELP PLEASE!!!

  • "Open With"  CS3 not working for JPEG file

    Operating system is XP. I am trying to get CS3 to automatically open all JPEG files when I double click on them in windows explorer.
    I open windows explorer, right click on the image that I want to open, then click "open with" ....
    ...at this point CS3 is not one of the choices on the "open with" menu so I already smell a problem ....
    ..... so I click "choose program" and navigate to the adobe photoshop cs3 folder and point to photoshop.exe, then click the "always use the selected program" box, click open, and bada-boom, bada-bing, the image opens in photoshop CS3, right? WRONG.
    The image opens in the Quicktime Picture Viewer program and NOT IN PHOTOSHOP CS3.
    I feel that I have entered the Twilight Zone, otherwise known as The Adobe Messed Up Someting In The Registry Upon CS3 Install Zone. Does anyone have any hints on how to get PS CS3 working as the default program for JPEGs when I double click them from explorer on my XP computer?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    After a long search I found the answer:
    To associate all jpeg files with Photoshop CS3 so that they will open into CS3 when double clicked:
    Click Start, Run and type in: Control Folders.
    Click the file Types Tab.
    Wait for the list of file types to populate.
    Single click on the jpeg file type.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Highlight open and click the edit button.
    Browse to the location of photoshop.exe in the CS3 folder.
    A few OK's and you are done.
    AND ANOTHER THING .........
    After the change above was made, jpg files would open directly to photoshop cs3 when doubleclicked, but the maintained the same goofy quicktime pictureviewer icon when viewed in windows explorer. To change the icon for jpeg files displayed in all folders to the photoshop icon, do this:
    Start / My Computer
    Click Tools at the top of the screen.
    Click folder options .... then the file types tab
    Click on jpeg in the list and click the advanced button
    Click change icon and browse to the photoshop.exe for CS3
    A list of ocon choices will appear .... I chose the second row first icon
    A couple of OKs and you are done

  • 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.

  • Reinstall CS3 not working

    I cleaned the disk as suggested but the CS3 is still ejecting everytime I try to reinstall program. The photoshop part and also Illustrator and the indesign would not open when I tried yesterday so I uninstalled CS 3 and now I'm trying to reinstall but can't. I'm on an IMac OS X 10.6.8. I also tried restarting, turning off computer but nothing helped.

    See if downloading and installing helps get around the disc issue.  You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.
