Photoshop CS3 Text engine Not functioning

Hi all,
wonder if any of u guys here have this error ...
whenever i tried to type text using the type tool .. it always got hang ... in turn i have to close the application ... slightly earlier ard december, there's this error msg stating something like " something is preventing your text engine from functioning." now it get slightly better but still hang when u click commit[a green tick at the top] .. ani help ??
Thanks in advance ...

I am experiencing this as well - plus not all of my fonts being enumerated unless they are copied (yes, I have to duplicate all my fonts) in the /program files/common files/adobe/fonts folder.
This is seriously annoying - I don't believe the fonts are corrupted because they work in other applications including Illustrator CS3 (however it doesn't recognize all the fonts either - but at least it doesn't hang)
This is a very serious problem.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Image Processor not converting files to sRGB Profile

    I have been experiencing a problem with Photoshop CS3 Image Processor no longer converting profiles to sRGB.   It converts all of the files from Camera Raw to JPEG, but not sRGB as well.  I used to be able to batch convert an entire folder of RAW images to JPEG, sRGB through the Image Processor.
    My Photoshop CS3 Working Space is Adobe RGB (1998).  I need to convert an entire folder of images selected in Bridge to sRGB working space in order to publish a photo album from one of the on-line publishing companies.  I can open each individual Camera Raw file in Photoshop and convert each to JPEG, sRGB, but this takes a tremendous amount of time.
    The following procedure has worked for me in the past, but for some reason no longer works:
    I select the images in the desired Bridge CS3 folder.  Upper tool bar, "Tools" > "Photoshop" > "Image Processor".  In Image Processor:
    Section 1 - ""Process files from Bridge only (11)"  Whether or not I place a checkmark by "Open first image to apply settings", it makes no difference in the outcome.
    Section 2:  "Save in same location"
    Section 3 - "Checkmark by "Save as JPEG, quality 12".  Also a checkmark by "Convert Profile to sRGB"
    Section 4 - Checkmark by "Include ICC Profile"
    I replaced my iMac one month ago and reinstalled Photoshop CS3, but this Image Processor problem had been occurring even with my old computer.
    Not sure if you need this information:
    I'm currently on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
    Processor:  2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7
    Memory:  8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
    I don't know if it's related,  Photoshop CS3 on my old computer was running in Rosetta.  I don't know if it's running in Rosetta now, the name does not appear when Photoshop boots up.  How do I get it to run in Rosetta again?

    Heh heh heh.  It's always true that we find the answer just after making public our problems, which in turn we did after trying to find the problems ourselves for hours.
    Thanks for following up with the answer.

  • Photoshop CS3 .png format not appearing in the "Save As" drop down?

    I have been searching all over the internet and forums like this for a solution but have not come across one that works. I have tried installing an update for .png 8 bit and replacing the .png format file entirely, and to no avail. I'm sure all updates are there for my Photoshop CS3 because I just had my lap top worked on and they had to re-add my CS3, so I think that if any updates were needed they would have done that. I have worked with programs like Photoshop for awhile now but I do not know to much about it's inner workers (files, etc.) so I am not sure what the problem is, and I really need this fixed ASAP. I am working on work and I need that .png format. I can't do without it and .png shows up in the "Save For Web Devices", but I am using trasnparency and it is not doing any justice to my images.
    Windows Vista
    Adobe PhotoShop CS3
    15.7 GB free out of 105 GB
    I was working on Photoshop all day yesterday - no problem. Today, I can't get .png.

    Be very specific:  Does it say 10.0 or 10.0.1?  If the former, I recommend you visit this page and download and install the update:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3775
    The plug-in should be here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\File Formats\Png.8bi
    It should have a size and date of 98,304 bytes modified on Saturday, October 20, 2007, 8:11:42 AM EST.

  • Photoshop CS3 editing does not work in LR 2.0

    Just upgraded to LR 2.0 and did the data base conversion everything works just fine. Btw, I did keep the LR 1.4 installed because I wanted to make sure I have a fallback in case I have a problem with LR 2.0.
    I do however have a problem. I cannot edit images in Photoshop CS3. If I select any of the Edit in Photoshop CS3 menu options, CS3 fires up but no image is displayed in Photoshop. I did upgrade CS3 with the latest upgrades available from Adobe. I have no problems editing in CS3 under LR 1.4.
    Any suggestion what may cause this?

    Mea culpa - I was eyeballing the forum but the word "export" did not ring a bell for the problem I am facing. Thanks for pointing me to the thread covering the problem.

  • Edit in Photoshop Elements 8 will not function.

    Edit function on Photoshop Elements 8 will not work.  Gives a crash message says to uninstall "inspirational" then download update.  done and still Edit does not function. ??????

    If PSE8 uses an Unwelcome Screen, bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

  • Photoshop cs3 Trial is not Working!

    Okay, I've downloaded the cs3 30 days trial. After installation, i launched it and it said 'problem with trial...a problem was encountered while trying to load the trial period for photoshop cs3.' What does this actually mean? What should i do?

    Hi Kirill,
    Could you please check the Photoshop version?  In Photoshop, please go to the Help menu and select About Photoshop...   In the dialog, it will say "Version" followed by the version #.  The Reflow PS Plug-in is activated in Version 14.1. 
    If you have a lower version, such as Version 14.0, please close Photoshop, and open the Adobe Creative Cloud application and click on the "Apps" tab.  If you see an Update for Photoshop there, please install it.  If not, please quit Creative Cloud (select the "gear" icon in the upper right of the Creative Cloud and and choose Quit Creative Cloud).  Then restart Creative Cloud, and hopefully the Update for Photoshop will be available.
    If this doesn't resolve the issue, please respond here and we'll look for another resolution.  Sorry it's not working for you right away!

  • CS3 Bridge is not function; do I need to re-install?

    Hello,
    I will admit to being woefully remiss in installing my wonderful CS3 software.  Just did so a few days ago.  Adobe Bridge was working fine, but today I can't access it at all for some reason.  Do I need to de-install and re-install everything (I've got Design Premium), or if I put in the application DVD, can I just re-install Adobe Bridge.
    I am not a computer techy.
    Thanks so much!
    Liz

    No, do not uninstall/reinstall.   What you need to do is reset preferences.   Hold down the Crtl key and start Bridge.  You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.  That should get you back to normal.

  • Adobe Photoshop CC Text Tool Not Working

    So, this issue just started today.  Whenever I try to type something in, let's say, 60 pt, the text comes out too small to read.  At the highest pt number the text is probably this big at most.  Help?

    What is your document resolution in ppi?
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.
    A screen shot could be very helpful too.

  • Photoshop CS6 Extended Download not Functioning

    Hi all. I have attempted to download Photoshop CS6 Extended trial, however, once the install is completed, it's just the standard version. WHERE can I download the Extended Version??? Thank you!

    Wow, what a geeky package that cleaner tool is...  It starts out by prompting for English or Japanese, then dumps an entire EULA to the CMD window, which scrolls off the top and can't possibly be read, then just asks ''yes or no''.  I assume that question is asking whether you agree to the EULA.  After that the prompts are pretty straightforward.
    Looks like it did a pretty thorough job, leaving nothing in the Photoshop install areas or a few other places I looked. 
    Notably the installer still knew my Adobe ID and saved password during the reinstall.  Fortunately the reinstall took only a few moments.
    In answer to your question:  It seems to have worked just fine.  I still have the same amount of time left in the trial as before the uninstall.
