Photoshop CS3 Upgrade

I currently have Photoshop CS2 and am considering upgrading to CS3. If I get the CS3 upgrade, will it support the Nikon D300 RAW without having to download the Camera Raw 4.3.1?
A second question, can Bridge be used with Elements 6?

Why on earth would you
b not
want to download the latest version?
Even if an earlier ACR 4.x did support your camera there are improvements in each dot release other than just covering the latest cameras.
You can see supported cameras here:

Bridge can be used with most image files but it doesn't come without Photoshop!

Adobe Photoshop CS & CS3 upgrade issues

I have recently obtained an original disc of adobe photoshop CS and an original disc of adobe photoshop CS3 upgrade to install on my Imac which is running lion at the moment, only to be told that power pc programmes are no longer recognised. I was intending to install the original Photoshop CS and then upgrade it to CS3, however due to this issue i cant install the original disc.
I have read that if i revert back to snow leopard then i would be able to install these programms without issue, but the question is then if i then update the OS system to lion, would the updated version of photoshop CS3 still work, being on the back of CS? or would it stop working?
If this updated programme does not work, am i better having a partitioned disc just to run snow leopard and to use photoshop, and if this is the case would i be able to access all saved images and files when running the lion side of the partition in order to sync these with i cloud and my ipad?
regards

The bootable Snow Leopard partition is the way I would do it.
Borrowed from Kappy,
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting is complete quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard being sure to select the external drive as the target.
Note that you will need a Snow Leopard DVD. The above will only work for you if you can boot your computer from a Snow Leopard DVD. If you have a new model that came with Lion pre-installed then the above will not work because a Snow Leopard retail DVD cannot boot your model.
Then install your CS and CS3 and run them in SL. If the images are stored in a seperate drive/partition then it should work seamlessly.

Installing Photoshop CS3 on a MBA

Hey guys, I need your help.
Here's my problem: How to install Photoshop CS3 Upgrade on a MBA?
I've tried first using Remote Disc - it installs but when I open PH CS3 there's a window saying that a few files are missing because the original installer is out of place, and asking to reinstall. It doesn't work.
Second try _ I copy PH CS3 from my MacBook using an USB stick and install- the same window appears.
Third try- I copied the whole PH CS3 install DVD to an USB stick, copied to my desktop and the same thing.
I believe the installer is looking for a previous version, but how can I tell PH that I've a previous version and how to point in that direction.
Any help is welcome.
P.S. With Illustrator CS3 I didn't have any problem, and it's also an Upgrade.
Thanks
Pedro

Happy ending of the "saga".
I tried downloading from the Adobe site more than 20 times, and never got it through, so, I did what I wasn't willing to do: bought a SuperDrive for the MBA, trashed everything with the word "Adobe", and reinstalled first PH CS3, which went very smooth, then, reinstalled Illustrator CS3, and it also went perfect.
The reason I decided to buy the SuperDrive was simply because I didn't want to spend endless hours doing the installation of PH and Il using Remote Disc.
Remote Disc is a good idea, but not for massive installations, since it crawls when compare to the SuperDrive.
Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions and help.
I love my NBA.
Regards
Pedro

I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7. I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade. The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen. I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine. Any thoughts on how to get this working? Thanks

If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it. You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

I own Photoshop CS3, how can I upgrade to CS5 (or even CS6)?

As I say in the title, I own Photoshop CS3 and I heard you could upgrade to CS5 or CS6 from that version. I've looked online and I can't find anything, either the links are broken or they bring me to an irrelevant page.
If anyone has any insight please help me!
P.S., the hoops one has to go through just to ask this question... I am quite lost.
Thank you for your help!
Chloe
EDIT: I am using a Windows computer, by the way. Windows 8.

There are no longer any upgrades from CS3 to any later versions of Photoshop. CS3 is too old to qualify.
As a CS3 owner, you can however get a discounted monthly fee for the Cloud version. The discount lasts for 12 months. Then it's back to the regular monthly fee.

Photoshop CS3 Extended upgrade to CS5?

Tried asking the online chat to answer this simple question . . . the person really didn't understand what I was asking.
So here it goes, the complex question of —
Will a regular CS5 upgrade work for a CS3 Photoshop Extended version or not?

Mylenium,
It was purchased from a big box store the US (years ago) and has a sticker on it saying "Only for distribution in North America."
It is for use in America, and so is my SC3 Extended version currently installed on my computer.
Both versions are for the Mac OS.
The system requirements are not of importance since my computer meets them all. The upgrade box says nothing about "CS3 or up."
The only mention of an upgrade on the entire box is on the side stating — "UPGRADE from an relier version. To install this upgrade version, you must have an eligible earlier version of this product. Before opening this package, check with your reseller about its return policy and your upgrade eligibility, or visit www.adobe.com/go/upgradeinfo for eligibility information."
So, here I am, trying a webpage that doesn't exist anymore and trying to find answers here . . . . .
Will this normal, regular, run-of-the-mill CS5 Photoshop upgrade work on a CS3 Extended version?
Is Photoshop CS3 Extended an "eligible earlier version of this product" for the CS5 upgrade?

Help! bulk license photoshop 7.0 with Cs3 upgrade won't work when reinstalling - Adobe support can't help

I've installed/reinstalled CS3 (upgrade over Photoshop7) a few times since 2007 when I've upgraded my pc - from the first install I had to contact their Aussie 1800 number because the Photoshop disk was a bulk license version and it didn't like the key when CS3 did an upgrade check. Spent over an hour today on a chat with Adobe and they will no longer help me as they aren't trained on PS 7 or CS3. ANY HELP would be appreciated

If your products are registered with Adobe, they can unlock CS3. It's called a "challenge code".
Apparently, Adobe has a challenge code system. So, if you have the old serial number from the upgrade and you call customer support. Customer support has a challenge code procedure where they give you a code that overrides the problem. Unfortunately, it took me 5 calls to customer support before I found someone who knew how to do it. The key term is "Challenge Code"
Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5
Important: We can unlock your serial number after we first verify that you qualify for the upgrade. When you contact us, be at your computer to complete the following upgrade verification workflow.
Register your product.
Contact us. You'll complete the next steps with a staff member.
Do one of the following in the Serial Number Upgrade screen:
Windows: Press Ctrl+Shift and then double-click.
Mac OS: Press Command+Shift and then double-click.
The Upgrade Code window appears.
Read the Challenge Code to the support staff member.
Enter the Support Code (that Adobe Support provides) into the Support Code field, and then click Next.

Photoshop CS6 Upgrade Does Not Recognize CS3 Extended as Qualifying Product

I am unable to install my Photoshop CS6 upgrade because the upgrade does not recognize a qualifying product on my system. When asked, I enter my current Photoshop CS3 Extended serial number, but the upgrade does not recognize it as a valid serial number from a qualifying product. I have tried to do a clean install to make sure no other applications were running or in conflict. My operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, Service Pack 3. I have an Intel Core 2, Quad CPU @2.66 GHz with 4GB RAM.

SouthCityTim I would recommend contacting our support team so they can validate your upgrade path and serial number. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.

Photoshop CS3 fails to "open" in Win XP after SP3 upgrading

In both my desktops: P5W Deluxe and P6T after I upgrade my Windows XP from SP2 to Sp3 I cannot open Photoshop CS3 (...Photoshop not respomding...)
I do not think the problem is with Photoshop because my desktop "SEARCH" also does not function.
I hope someone can suggest possible remedies. When I RESTORE back to SP2 everything is OK. The reason I want to go to SP3 is the 2011 Turbotax "Home & Business" requires SP3!!!!
I thank you
Kosmas

Photoshop certainly can work with XP SP3.
I suggest making sure your drivers are all up to date. For example, go to the web site of the maker of your video card and download/install their latest XP release for your hardware.
You may also want to reinstall Photoshop to ensure all it's prerequisite requirements are re-examined by the installer.

Upgrade Creative Suite 2 with ONLY Photoshop CS3?

I have a full version of Creative Suite 3. I would like to upgrade only the Photoshop portion, including Bridge, with Photoshop CS3. Can this be done?

Not unless you have a standalone version of Photoshop 7 (the earliest
version from which you can upgrade to Photoshop CS3), CS or CS2.
This was a 'gotcha' that I wrestled with when the first Creative Suite (CS)
was released. I started with full Photoshop 5.5 then upgraded to 6 and 7. I
wanted the Creative Suite but with the option of upgrading standalone apps
within the Suite from then on but soon realised that this was not possible.
I eventually went the Creative Suite.
In brief, available upgrade paths are:
Standalone App > Standalone App
Standalone App > Creative Suite > Creative Suite
Creative Suite > Creative Suite > Creative Suite

Upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS4 - PNG alpha lost???

I use Photoshop for all of my graphics in Final Cut Pro. I have been using Photoshop CS3 for a long time, creating .png titles with alpha's with no problem. I just upgraded to Photoshop CS4 and now my .png files don't have alpha channels. What happened and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
John

I am creating High Def Graphics (1920x1080) for use within Final Cut Pro. I am talking about the transparency. What do you mean by a swf? Are you talking Flash? I'm not sure that would work. Sorry for the confusion.
