Photoshop CS3 Weird Measurements Out of nowhere on Document

I was just using My CS3, and i think i clicked something and all of a sudden i get pixel/inch/cm measurements surrounding my document, and it's annoying, but i have no idea how to take it off. Please help. Here's a screenshot.

  • Photoshop CS3 is popping out an error dialog

    Photoshop CS3 is popping out an error dialog when trying to open some of the PDFs. The Error Message is “Error opening the Portable Document File (PDF) document. Error code = 0x40010015”. Can some one please let me know what does this mean?

    I can’t tell You what it means actually.
    But like pointed out in another thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1623763) You might try re-saving the pdfs from Illustrator.
    Or save a PostScript from Acrobat and re-distill that.
    With which application were those pdfs created?

  • CS3 playback lagging out of nowhere!

    To start off, I'll give you my specs:
    MacBook Pro
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    2.66 Ghz
    4 GB of Ram
    OSX 10.5.8
    Adobe Premiere CS3 version 3.2
    Adobe Premiere used to run completely smooth for me. For months, everything was fine. Today, out of nowhere, it has started to lag. I have not changed any system settings or any settings within Premiere. However, for some odd reason, it lags 3-4 seconds every time i try to play my timeline. It never did this before. I thought that maybe I had to start rendering my timelines, so I did, and it didn't fix it at all; I've still got the lag.
    Now, I know 3-4 seconds isn't a long time... but it's quite annoying when I'm in a rush editing something (this lag really adds up when you're doing short/quick cuts). I also shouldn't be experiencing it now, considering I never did before.
    Does anybody know why it's doing this out of nowhere?

    I'm really unsure about my hdd speed.  However, here are all of the specs I can get:

  • Help! - Printing via Photoshop CS3 to a Canon ip1800 printer

    Hi
    Please be gently with me as i'm new to a Mac............
    Prior to my purchase I would print images via Adobe Photoshop CS using Windows OS to a Canon ip 1800 printer and would be sufficiently happy with the results for home printing.
    Since purchasing a Mac things have all gone horribly wrong! I am now either producing washed out prints or one's with weird and wonderful colours.
    The only reasonable results I have been able to obtain are by either printing in iphoto or by letting the printer manage colour.
    This is my current workflow
    Photoshop Cs3 edit image
    File print
    Colour management Document: Select profile Adobe RGB/ SRG (tried both)
    Colour handling: Photoshop handles colour
    Printer profile: Canon ip1800 series SP2 (For photo paper plus Glossy 11 pp-201)
    Rendering intent: Perceptual (tried all to be fair)
    Black point compensation: /
    Print
    Printer: Canon ip1800 series
    Preset:Standard
    Colour matching (no control all greyed out but led to believe this is correct)
    Colour Sync (circle with a dot) Canon colour matching (circle)
    Print
    Awful result !
    I may be doing something completely obviously wrong but this is the same workflow I have previously followed but without the options in the printer driver. I'm guessing but think there might be some double profiling going on. I have had a quick try in lightroom 2 with very similar results.
    Any help would be appreciated as its driving me mad!!
    Many thanks in anticipation of your help
    Steve

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply
    I'm currently using OSX 10.6.5 Snow leopard with what assumed was the latest Canon driver 10.30.3.0..........should I be using 10.26?
    Kind regards

  • Camera Raw 5.6 plugin with photoshop CS3

    I have just bought a Canon 7D and downloaded the Camera Raw 5.6 plugin. When trying to install the screen reads 'cannot install the plugin' I have creative suite CS3 for windows XP, is this the problem?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Cheers and thanks
    Lightroom 2 is still the shipping version of that program, so it is upgraded to support new cameras from time to time, as well as possibly make a few other changes.  As soon as Lightroom 3 is released there will be no more support for Lightroom 2.  New cameras will then no longer be supported.  Photoshop CS3 has been out of production for quite some time now, and has been replaced by CS4.  This is just the circle of life with Adobe software.

    calibrating requires a hardware calibration utility. if you have an LCD monitor, make sure that the utility you get supports LCD calibration.
    some names of hardware kits you can get include ColorVision Spyder/Spyder2 and Pantone Huey, but there are others out there as well.
    Note that you may have installed updates via Windows Update that installed an ICC profile for your monitor, as this is a new thing with Vista. ICC profiles that are provided by a monitor manufacturers do not contain the same information as an ICC profile created by a calibration utility. to test if this is the problem, launch Photoshop and you might get a warning saying "The monitor profile 'profile name' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software." Clicking the "Ignore Profile" button will prevent Photoshop from using this profile and causing the discoloration. If you do not see this warning, open the PS preferences by clicking the 'Edit->Preferences..>General' menu option, click the "Reset All Warning Dialogs" button at the bottom, then restart Photoshop.

  • Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 - Launch hangs on Registration Screen, All menu items grayed out

    I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.1.
    When launching, the window labeled "Adobe Design Suite Premium CS3" opens - it's only filled with white, and no text or graphics (I think it's usually the window asking me if I want to register, which always comes up when I launch the program (rather annoying in itself).  However, now it seems that the launch gets "hung" on this window, as, even the the program starts, all the menus are grayed out, and I can't open any files or do anything.  Also, the window mentioned above only has the yellow "minimize" button available in the top left corner, so I can't close it or otherwise get rid of it.  Since even the Quit function is grayed out, I have to quit the program with a force quit.  Also, this same thing happens in my other CS3 programs (In Design) as well.
    I tried trashing the photoshop plist file (com.adobe.photoshop.plist) and also the com.adobe.118.registration file, which had no effect.
    Any advice on how I can fix this?
    Thanks!

    Hopefully this solution will work for you:

  • Photoshop CS3 - need to uninstall & reinstall but deactivation is grayed-out

    Photoshop CS3 was living happily for quite a while on my system running Windows 7 32-bit, however, lately, upon closing, it freezes, requiring a cntrl-alt-del to force quit. It has the 10.0.1 patch, the latest. A repair re-install did not fix the problem, and I am not aware that I installed anything recently with which it should conflict. I have tried the various tips & tricks on the forums related to refreshing caches, etc., but to no avail. Something's broken that I hope to fix with a clean install. Buying the latest cloud version of Photoshop is not in the budget ... I just want to get back to where I was ...
    I believe I need to do a complete uninstall of PS CS3, including manually deleting all registry entries related to CS3, Adobe, Photoshop, etc. + running cleaner utilities. While not too happy about that, I'm willing to try it. Here's the problem, I suspect that I will also need to deactivate first to prevent some issue with Adobe to later re-activate the fresh install ... the trouble is, part of what seems to be corrupted are the menu items relating to "deactivate", "activate", etc. ... they are grayed out, so I have no way to deactivate before I attempt a complete uninstall.
    A few questions;
    Is there a known issue and fix for a missing deactivation / activation menu options for PS CS3?
    Is there a way to manually preserve the activation key and remove all the other possible corrupted files and registry entries so that I can do a clean install?
    Is there another way to fix a corrupted install of PS CS3?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!

    Yes, I had already googled and found all those 3rd party solutions before I posted my original question ... I'm not too comfortable with those, rather, I am looking for a "cleaner" solution directly from Adobe. By the way, I re-installed PS CS3 again, then ran the CC Cleaner tool BEFORE uninstalling ... it did function doing this, it removed PS CS3, but left other parts installed (Bridge CS3), I then re-installed PS CS3, but the result was no better than using the Windows uninstaller.
    The more I get into this, the more I think I may need a fresh install of my Windows 7 and all applications ... problem is, I still can't deactivate Photoshop CS3 so as to re-install it on a fresh system build ... that  is, unless the Adobe server would recognize my computer's motherboard s/n and Windows 7 key and allows automatic re-activation ... does their server go by number of current activations or does it remember particulars of each current activation so as to "refresh" the activation on a clean install to an old computer previously activated?
    Is it just me, or is this too many hoops to jump through to fix what used to be a solid piece of software? Is there some recent Windows patch identified as conflicting with CS3 software?

  • Photoshop cs3 crashing - out of RAM!?! Help

    Hi,
    was working on photoshop today with no other programs open apart from the internet, when i attemped to open a file and my tool bar to the left disapeared. I tryed to default the display, at which point it was unresponsive. I forced quit photoshop and them when i opened it again a message came up saying photoshop can not open out of RAM.
    I then tested another programe from adobe (illustrator) which then followed to crash before eithen opening. Illustrator has been working perfectly before photoshop was out of RAM!.
    Now none of my adobe products work!
    Any idea of how to fix this? or what exactly is up with it, as i had made no changes to my mac before hand.
    I dont truely understand the in's and out's of RAM and its workings.
    Any ideas how to get it working? do i need to reinstally the whole thing? or will the same just happen again.
    thanks in advance.

  • Downloaded Apple Maverick. Now I can't use my old Photoshop CS3. I don't like the new photoshop foremat because I cant see the small ruler measurements. Help, I wish to use the old Photoshop CS3.

    Adobe says to contact them...HOW.  I'm going all over their site and being moved to other site questions that don't pertain or answer my question,

    Did you install photoshop cs3 already?
    Or you updated your old mac os with mavericks and photoshop cs3 won't work?
    What happens when you try to run it on mavericks?

  • Soft Brush Problem in Photoshop CS3 - edges of brush show pink banding

    This is my first post but I am a relatively seasoned photoshop user. When using a soft brush for anything (coloring or masking) I am getting lines and hard edges around the outer perimeter of the brush edges. For example, if I use a 600 pxl brush set to 0% hardness and start to paint on a white background, the color at the outer edges of the paint looks pinkish and it looks like there is actually a slightly pinkish hard edge where the outermost edge of the paint stops. It should just disappear into complete transparency but I am getting this weird edge.
    This is happening out of nowhere too. I have been working on this machine for at least a year with the same monitor and everything. It just started happening yesterday for no apparent reason. I tried re-installing CS3 and it didn't help. I tried resetting my preferences when starting up photoshop and that didn't help either. I have not made any changes whatsoever to my monitor settings since day one and up until now it has been working beautifully.
    I am on a Mac - G5 2x3.2 Ghz Quad core processors, 8 Gb of Ram. Nvidia G-Force 8800 GT graphics card, Brand new 24" flat panel LCD set to show colors in millions... also set to Cinema HD mode which was the default setting that it was set to.
    This is happening regardless of color mode - RGB or CMYK and regardless of bits per channel 8 vs 16 vs 32. Files I work on are set up at 300dpi usually in CMYK mode. It happens regardless of whether shape dynamics/smoothing/etc (brush presets) are turned on or off.
    I would be happy to send anyone that can help a screenshot of what I am talking about. Please help!!!

    Hi everyone,
    Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I really appreciate it. This has been a bit frustrating because no one else can see the issue but me I suppose. I just don't know why my monitor would change all of the sudden for no reason. I know all monitors eventually go bad but this one is only a year old and looks beautiful in every other way. No other problems with any other programs or anything. The overall color, brightness, contrast, etc are still amazing.
    It is still covered under the warranty so I can take it in to the Apple store to see if they can find an issue with it. I will be sure to let you guys know what they say. I have seen this same issue on 2 other forums on other sites - one person said that after exhausting all possibilities he determined that the issue was with photoshop. The other person was getting responses back from people telling her to add noise to her files to improve the banding, which is not really a solution to the root of the problem.
    Hopefully, if it is a monitor issue, recallibrating will fix the problem. I did, however, go through the callibrator assistant found in system preferences and it didn't help. Also tried to adjust the "Edit" - "Colors" setting within photoshop and that didn't help either.
    Both of the Adobe support specialists that I talked to were stumped. They said that the only 2 things they could think of were the monitor or maybe the graphics card gone bad.
    Anyway, thank you all again for your help. I have never used this forum before having this issue and I want to say that I really appreciate all of you stepping up to help me with my problem in such a prompt and helpful manner.

  • 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.
