Photoshop CS3: Standard to Extented?

Is there a cheap upgrade path from Photoshop CS3 Standard (which I have, purchased a year ago, for Windows, English language) to Photoshop CS3 Extended (which I possibly will need in the near future)? "Cheap," in this context, is supposed to mean, for less than the cost for upgrading to CS3 Extended from CS2.
-- Olaf

If they can be convinced, it would likely be for the difference in cost only. This because you're not really upgrading from one version to another (ie: v7 to v8).
You deactivate your standard version when you are about to install the extended, destroy the disc(s) and the standard's serial number becomes invalid.

Media for Adobe Photoshop CS3 standard (English)

Does anybody have a copy of the Media for Adobe Photoshop CS3 standard (English) or know where i can download it.
I know its rather old at this stage but we have misplaced our CD and for some reason adobe are unwilling to make a copy of the media available to me. Luckily i still have the licence certificate for the software. The component description on the software certificate is
Photoshop CS3 10.0 WIN AOO License IE
I have downloaded cs3 extended but i have issues with my serial number when it try to register it.

Annoying bug in Photoshop CS3 Standard 10.0.1

I am using Windows XP SP2 with all current hotfixes. My PC has a single CRT monitor attached, an Athlon 2400+ CPU inside, and 1 GB of RAM. The Nvidia graphic card has 64 MB. I have Photoshop CS3 Standard 10.0.1 with Camera Raw 4.3.1 and Bridge CS3 2.1.1 (and all the other CS3 updates, too).
Whenever I copy new filters (i. e. .8BF files) to ~\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\Filters (or actually to a new subdirectory therein), snapshots as well as the Lab mode cease to work properly. When taking a snapshot, the snapshot's thumbnail in the History palette is pure black; so is the first snapshot automatically taken on opening an image. When switching into Lab mode, both the image as well as its Lab thumbnail in the Channels palette are pure black (strangely, the L channel, the a channel, and the b channel are not black but correct). When deleting the new filters from the Filters directory, both snapshots and Lab mode will work properly again. This has nothing to do with the kind of filters or with applying the filters. If they are just sitting there, things go haywire.
Another way to fix the issue (besides deleting the filters) is to 'repair' the Photoshop installation after installing the filters, i. e. to re-run the Photoshop setup procedure without prior de-installation. It takes about half an hour to complete, and afterwards Photoshop will accept the new filters without screwing up snapshots or Lab mode.
Resetting the preferences does not fix the issue.
Has someone experienced the same? By the way, the problem was there in Photoshop 10.0, too (but not in CS2).
-- Olaf

There's just a flurry of complaints about CS3 crashing under Yosemite. The upgrade is known to damage CS5 installs. Adobe only certifies CS6, CC, and CC 2014 as being tested for Yosemite.
I would not advise it. You would more than likely have to reinstall CS3 and its' updates, as well as your printer drivers and no guarantee it will be the same.
If your work depends on CS3 functioning, hold off for now, or until you upgrade Photoshop.
You are taking chances you probably don't need to. If it works, don't fix it.

Photoshop CS3 Standard - creating animations HELP

I am afraid that the new CS3 Standard that I recently purchased does not have any animation possibility in package. AM I WRONG? Please tell me I'm wrong. I have used old versions of Imageready and found it was great. Can I create animations including remote animations for web using the CS3 Standard package??? It doens't have Flash or Fireworks in it or if it does, I can't find it.
Which is the best software to use for web animations including simple and remote and drop down menu animations???
Gina

There are ways to do nearly everything that ImageReady did but some of them are pretty convoluted.
There are literally thousands of forum postings about this inconsiderate act of Adobe and a few blogs which give detailed instructions on how to get around its absence in CS3.
The easiest thing is to keep or re-install CS2!

Adobe Photoshop CS3 printing to an HP Pro B9180

I am trying to print a borderless project. The preview looks perfect but when printed it cuts 1/8th of an inch off the top. I have reinstalled Adobe Photoshop CS3, reinstalled the printer and spent 2 hours with an HP tech online and no fixes yet. Windows Vista Home Premium is the O/S.
Any suggestions, thanks Jan

Hi Jan,
Don't know if this will help or not, but it may be worth a look. Russell Brown has a video tutorial on printing with CS3 to the HP Photosmart B9180 here:
http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html
You'll have to scroll about 1/3 down the page to get to the section entitled
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Standard Edition Tutorials
and its the third tutorial in the list. He also gives some useful tips about drivers et cetera.
Good luck.

Yet another bug in Photoshop CS3: Lab Colour Mode

Using Photoshop CS3 Standard (english) on Windows XP SP2, I cannot switch to Lab colour mode. Or rather, I can, but the image will turn completely black. In the channels palette in Lab mode, there are four channels: L, a, b, and Lab. The three single channels obviously contain the correct data, and I can select each one and the display will show the correct greyscale representations of the L channel, the a channel, and the b channel. But it won't show the colour image of all channels combined, i. e. the Lab image; this will appear simply black instead.
Fortunately, I still have Photoshop CS2 installed. So due to this and numerous other bugs (particularly the §@#!& printing) I am using Bridge 2.1 and ACR 4.1 but not Photoshop CS3. This application is just too buggy to get serious work done :(
-- Olaf

The exact same thing happened to me just 2 days ago. It was the first time I had ever tried LAB, in any version of PS, and all I got was the black box. I switched to my earlier version (PS7 in this case) and tried it, thinking that maybe my computer wouldn't support it for some reason, since it's several years old. PS7 displayed LAB just fine... I went back to CS3 (I had closed it down completely) and when it restarted - it LAB worked correctly, BUT all my preferences had been reset to default! So, I agree with the previous poster who commented that it may be a preferences thing. You should also check the color management settings in your earlier version & make sure the CS3 has the same settings. I have no idea if that made a difference or not, but I did notice that my CS3 didn't have the same color settings as PS7 did. Try resetting preferences to default, shutting down CS3 and restarting, and then check to see if CS3 will display LAB correctly.

Bridge not functioning in PhotoShop CS3 Extended

I deactivated Photoshop CS3 on a computer I was no longer using and installed it (CS3) another computer. I activiated CS3 on the new computer. However, when trying to use Bridge, I get a message that says that Adobe no longer supports Bridge Home and Bridge does not function on the new computer. Is there anything I can do to get Bridge to function as part of CS3 Extended?

Thanks, that worked.

Photoshop CS3 installs but won't run on new OS install

Hello,
I've been searching through the forums and have seen some users with a similar problem, but haven't found any info that's relevant to my situation.
I have done a fresh install of Windows XP Pro SP2 and decided to install a brand-new copy of CS3 at the same time.
This computer is totally fresh - there are no printers, no TWAIN drivers, no funny fonts or games installed. The only software on this machine is Windows and whatever updates Windows Update has pushed out.
The Photoshop installer runs fine - no crashes or error messages. However, when I try to start up Photoshop, I just get the outer frame of the app window and (usually) the File / Edit / Image / Layer... menu bar. There is no splash screen, and no palettes appear. If I click anywhere in the app window, the menu bar disappears and the title bar says "Not responding".
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling from both the DVD and the web download. I've tried selecting the "repair" option on the install screen. I've tried downloading and installing the 10.0.1 update.
I tried installing Lightroom and Reader to see if those work (they do).
I tried installing the latest video driver for my gfx card.
None of these change the behaviour I've been seeing at all. I opened a support case with Adobe about 4 days ago but haven't gotten a response yet.
Any thoughts? I was able to run PS CS1 on this computer just fine before I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled everything, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Thanks,
Thomas Park

Hi Guys,
Ive got the same problems as you, Win XP SP2 on RAID 1 hard disk set on an AMD raid controller, but I have no driver to roll-back to.
Ive installed Photoshop CS3 and also Acrobat Standard 8 (which used to run fine on an old system), but all i get now is the blank window with the menu and title bar and thats all.
Can some one help? (will this licensing patch resolve the issue - and where can i get it from?)
Thanks

From Photoshop CS3 to Suite Production Premium CS4 - order failed

Hello,
I have a little problem with buying a product from Adobe. I have Photoshop CS3 and I want to buy CS4 Suite Production Premium. When I search for this product and check the upgrade options it says that I can upgrade from my Photoshop CS3 version. However, when I order this product I get an order cancelation after some minutes without any reason - and no, it is not a CreditCard problem - I checked everything. All data is correct. Where there would be a real problem, why I don't get a call from them?
Then I called the sales hotline and the guy on the line told me that I need the Upsell version and that he can't check why the online order was canceled. Ok - I ordered this upsell version for a higher price than the online upgrade version. Some hours later I got a weird email from Adobe saying again that my order has been canceled. ??? I wonder whats going on there. I can't reach the sales guy on the weekend so I have to wait and I know that he can't give any information about why the order has been canceld again (why that?). That way it seems I am not able to order any product from Adobe and honestly I don't want to order it from Adobe directly anymore.
May it be possible that I can't upgrade or upsell from Photoshop CS3 alone to the Production Premium Suite CS4 - even it saying like this on their website.
Also, why is there only the upgrade version available on the online store and not the upsell version and why do I see an upgrade option even it must be called upsell version?
Why is the upgrade manager: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/upgrade saying the same that I CAN UPGRADE from Photoshop CS3 to this Suite.
I am speechless about that much trouble with a company like Adobe. And yes, this is my first try to order a Suite from Adobe directly. Now I am very unsure what to buy, where to buy and how I get this to work.
Btw. Customer Support didn't answer my emails about this.
Thanks for any hint!
Andreas

I did that twice and called them. They are always saying that they can't see what the problem is but they can setup a new order and try again - hello? - try and error ordering. I will not order on the Adobe Store anymore. This was the first and my last time I tried to order on their site or via a sales agent from their sales team. Also, when I see their emails that came back about the cancelation: No Subject line, weird emailaddress and with some really confusing product description and with a standard answer. I first thought it was some spam. I am really disapointed about their service.
I also found out that the sales guy put in a wrong phone number and I can remember we checked the number three times. I mean, I don't order a pair of socks here - I want a pro sales service for a pro product where I pay a lot of money for.

Photoshop CS3 Save and Save As Dialog box not working

I can't do a "save as" or "save for web" in photoshop cs3. The dialog box opens and I can't change anything but the file type pull down menu (and sometimes not even that). This problem happens sporadically.... but most of the time it doesn't work.
I have re-installed Photoshop cs3 but I still have the same problem.
Photoshop CS3 10.0.1
MacPro 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory : 4GB
Mac OS 10.5.8
Please Help

I'm seeing exactly this same problem with Photoshop CS3 after the upgrade to 10.5.8. It appears that the dialog box never gets focus for "Save for Web and Devices" -- the title bar of the dialog is grayed out, while the main "Save for Web and Devices" panel still has focus. That means there's no way to clear the dialog, since the panel is waiting for it to return, but the dialog can't get any input. None of the standard resets work for any length of time. I seem to remember similar problems in a much earlier release of Mac OS X, but I can't be sure. Quite annoying.

Lightroom 1.1 - Adobe Camera RAW 4.1 (Bridge, Photoshop CS3) problem

Dear all,
I am having some problems with the appearance of files developed in adobe lightroom 1.1 or in adobe camera raw 4.1 from e.g. bridge or photoshop cs3. When developing in lightroom the images look great, however when using acr 4.1 and the same xmp sidecar settings imported from lightroom, the image in acr looks very pale in comparison. For example when using the export into photoshop option in Lightroom, the image in PS3 looks very pale to the one in lightroom. The same problem persists with developing using ACR 4.1 from bridge. I have turned autotoning in ACR off. Also in the color management of PS CS3, the desaturate checkbox is UNchecked.
I am using an icc profile for my 30" cinema display, calibrated with colory eyes pro and a spyder2.
Has anybody had similar problems with ACR 4.1 or am I just doing something horribly simple wrong?
Thanks for your help!
Immanuel

Thomas,
thanks for your reply. In Mac OS X Preview the images look all good and very much like what I see in Lightroom. In any case not as pale or like with a slight white overcast to what I see when using ACR 4.1 from Bridge or Photoshop CS3. In PS color settings, preserving embedded profiles is checked. Yes, it seems to me as well that this is some color management issue. The 30" Cinema display was calibrated using Color Eyes Pro and Spyder2 to Gamma 2.2 and 6500 temp. However, even when reverting to the standard Apple color profile for the monitor, the problem persists.
No luck so far...
Immanuel

Camera raw and Photoshop CS3 from Lightroom

(2.5) If I open a raw image from Windows Explorer or Bridge (which I don't use much), Camera Raw 4.6 opens. It doesn't open if I Edit In Photoshop CS3 from Lightroom, but says "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 5.5 for full compatibility. Camera Raw version 4.6 is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3".
There are two choices: Render using Lightroom and Open Anyway. If I say the former, it doesn't use the file name, but does something like -2.tif.
I'm not sure what these two choices actually do.
Secondly, if things were working properly, would Lightroom actually open the Camera Raw window? If so, is there anything I can do short of upgrading PS to CS4?
Thanks.

Just a little history of the profiles being displayed for your camera model. The camera calibration tab only displays the profiles that are specific to your camera and model. The earler profiles were named after the version of ACR that was in use when they were created.
So.
ACR 4.2 the first profile created for your camera model when support was introduced.
ACR 4.4, Adobe created/ updated new profiles for most of the supported camera models with this release of ACR.
Adobe Standard Beta, updated profile when the Beta of ACR 5.0 and LR 2.0 were introduced.
Adobe Standard, Updated profile for the final release of ACR 5.0 and LR 2.0. This then is the latest profile created for your camera model. I think it should be the closest to your camera standard.
Adobe did not create any other camera matching profiles Vivid, Neutral etc other than for the more popular Nikon and Canon models. I have an Olympus so I am in the same boat.
