PhotoShop Cs5 to Cs3 Brush issue

Hello.
Previously I was using PhotoShop CS5 for my personal art design, however i had to switch back to CS3 for various reasons. Having devoted a lot of time and care into my CS5, I saved up my
swatches, styles, brushes, etc..... so I wouldn't lose all my work. I spaced, however, and saved the CS5 brushes with the rest of my generic brushes in the process of a mass save. I no longer have access to CS5, and when I attempt to load the .abr into my CS3, it gives an error.
"Could not load the brushes "D:\etc\etc\etc\Brush Set 1.abr" because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop."
Is there anyway to get in there and delete those specific brushes, recover the ones I'm after......or.....anything?
Thanks

Call Customer Service. You will need Photoshop CS3 media as a start as Adobe no longer provides media for older versions.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Multiple Brush Preset Import

    Hi there,
    I assumed that simply copying my brushes to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1\Presets\Brushes would mean that these files would now be available to me. However, this is not working for me. Am I copying my brushes to the incorrect location? When I open up the Brush chooser panel, only the default brush sets are available.
    Now, I can add brushes in the preset manager, but this only lets me add one set at a time and does not organize them for me into sets. There must be a better way to do this.
    I'm on Win7 btw.
    Thanks.

    Copying them to the presets folder means they are available to load, it doesn't mean that they'll all get loaded at once!
    Just use the menu on any of the brush pickers, the preset manager, or the brushes palette to load those files.

  • Photoshop CS5 Spot Healing Brush only blurs

    Here's a before and after shot.  I recently upgraded from CS3 and the spot healing brush always worked great. 
    Now when I use it, whether or not I use content aware fill, it leaves a blurred residue of what I was trying to remove. 
    As an aside, the Content Aware Fill leaves a similar residue, enough to make it effectively unusable.
    I have included a sample photo of the spot healing brush problem.  Left side is before and right side is after. 
    I just wanted to get rid of the electrical wall socket.  You can see that it's not working.  I am running windows 8 in a 64-bit environtment and running the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5.5
    Any assitance anyone is able to afford me is greatly appreciated.

    In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with your choice of Spot Healing Brush for this image. I cropped your screenshot to the "BEFORE" image, removed the "BEFORE" type (with the SHB) and scaled to 600% to match your original document.
    A dab of a 0% hardness 500 pixel Spot Healing Brush in Ps CS5.1 on OS X 10.6.8 worked perfectly. However, I would have made a vertical stroke with the brush at about 80% hardness and about 200 pixels, which also works for me.
    Maybe your SHB is working in "Create Texture" mode despite specifying "Proximity Match" in Options bar. Try resetting the SHB by right-clicking its icon at left of Options bar and picking "Reset Tool" from the menu that appears.

  • Photoshop CS5/Lightroom 3 integration issue - "Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" does not work

    When clicking "Edit Copy with Lightoomroom Adjustments" from Lightroom, I get an error in Lightroom 3 complaining that the Camera Raw plug-in is not up to date; full message below.
    "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.1 for full compatibility.
    Camera Raw version 4.6 is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3. If raw file support for your camera was introduced after Camera Raw 4.6, the Photoshop integration features in Lightroom require Photoshop CS4 and the latest Camera Raw version 5 plug-in.
    The version of Camera Raw plug-in currently installed is 0.0."
    After I click "Open Anyways", Photoshop CS5 is initiated but it seems to have lost context of why it is opened and asks me what file I want to open (i.e. the Open As dialog).
    "Edit Copy" and "Edit Original" from Lightroom 3 works as expected and opens images fine in Photoshop, CS5 however.
    My installation is on Windows 7. I currently also have Lightroom 1.4 and Photoshop CS3 installed. Everything worked fine with the old configuration. I also tried the same workflow in Lightroom 1.4 again just now, which is now linked to CS5 instead of CS3. The "Edit Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" also work just fine.
    Things that I have tried but do not worked:
    I did an Update via the Help -> Update menu, and also manually downloaded the Camera Raw 6.1 plug-in.
    Blew away the Photoshop preferences file
    Made sure that Lightroom 3 points to Photoshop for editor
    I'm thinking that I'll try uninstall CS3 next. Anyone else encountered this issue?

    [CS5.1 (12.1) ACR 6.5RC / LR 3.5RC; MacbookPro 4gb Leopard 10.5.8 ] As a Lightroom instructor, up until now this has been a vexxing problem to explain to my students. Even if ACR in Photoshop is up to date (I just downloaded 6.5RC and installed the PS Plugin), I still get the error when attempting to edit from Lightroom 3.5RC. I deleted the PS prefs file to no avail. I was not willing to re-install Photoshop as a solution (per some blog's suggestion), although that might be the ultimate answer. But what an ordeal if so!
    For a solution, I went back to a resolution I devised when I had a CS3 compatibility problem with LR3. I went into the Preferences of Lightroom and manually chose the Photoshop app as the "custom" image editor. I went back to edit the file in PS from Lightroom and the ACR error disappeared. Try it. Yes, this means you need to use the Custom editor as your image editor, but it seems to have resolved the issue.

  • Upgrade to Photoshop CS5 from CS3/CS2/6.0

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop 6.0, then upgraded to CS2, then CS3.
    Can I upgrade to CS5?
    If so, can I install the trial and later activate it once I have the key?
    Since the key is an upgrade key, what is it going to ask for to verify the fact that the CS3 version (which was an upgrade) was based on a full retail version?
    The reason for all these questions is that I'm going to be upgrading from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. I'd like to just install Photoshop CS5 and try it out, then order the upgrade to complete the install later. I'm concerned about an upgrade not being appropriate (1) and a need to install Photoshop CS3 completely and then run the update to CS5. If I have to do that, I may just install CS3 after my Windows upgrade.
    Thanks in advance for your responses. While I did see some questions about upgrading, I missed this exact scenario if it was previously posted.

    The upgrade process is really quite straightforward these days - even on a new box which has never previously had Adobe software installed.
    Upgrades are as good as full versions once installed. When installing upgrades, all that matters is that you have a serial number to an earlier qualifying version handy - Adobe has given up tracing this all the way back to your full version which could be up to 20 years ago. Upgrade serial numbers can only be verified by serial numbers up to 3 versions back anyway so Photoshop CS does not qualify for a CS5 upgrade.
    There's no need to install older versions on a new computer before installing the CS5 upgrade version. It's actually the full code on the disk regardless of whether you purchased a full version or an upgrade - the serial number tells the installer if you've bought an upgrade or full version license.
    When you enter your upgrade serial number for CS5, the installer will ask you to enter an earlier qualifying serial number (full or upgrade does not matter). I've successfully completed this exact scenario myself several times.
    The only caveat to the above is that there is a world of difference in licensing terms (and serial numbers) between a suite and a standalone version. If you install a CS5 suite trial then want to keep just the Photoshop component (and enter its serial number), you'll have to uninstall the entire suite first then install the upgrade version of standalone Photoshop CS5. Then enter your CS5 serial number then verify by entering your CS3 serial number.

  • Can I downgrade Photoshop cs5 to cs3

    I have only photoshop cs5 software and wanna downgrade to CS3. Pls advise. Thanks

    Call Customer Service. You will need Photoshop CS3 media as a start as Adobe no longer provides media for older versions.

  • Photoshop CS5 - InDesign CS3 conflict?

    I want to upgrade Photoshop CS4 to CS5, but am concerned by a report on the Luminous Landscape Forum where a member claims that installing PS CS5 made his InDesign CS3 unusable. He says, " The Photoshop CS5 changes some core type files in the Common Files >  Adobe diectories, which totally prevent Indesign from even starting."
    The LL forum discussion is at http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=43396
    Has anyone else seen similar reports or had this experience?  I am working on a project now where I'm required to use InDesign CS3 (and not a later version), so can't take a chance that the new Photoshop will screw things up with ID3.

    Not that Mac users need any more reasons to think they have a better OS, but apparently the problem is with some Windows configurations. : )
    I asked the same question on the InDesign forum and an expert there was able to both replicate the problem and offer a probable solution.

  • Photoshop CS5 u.CS3 über die Cloud?

    Ich habe die Photoshop Cloud. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit frühere PS Versionen (cs 3 und cs 5) auch zu laden? Oder müsste ich mir die kaufen? Ich brauche die nur um anderen zu helfen. Also ich selber arbeite nur mit CC bzw. CC 2014.
    MfG

    Danke für ihre Antwort.
    Wie ich  CS6 in der Cloud laden kann, weiß ich. Ich wollte wissen, ob man mit der Cloud auch CS5 bzw CS3 laden kann. Wenn ich auf die Seite von CS5 gehe, steht da, dass man eine Seriennummer braucht, aber ich habe CS5 nie gekauft, also auch keine Seriennummer. Da ich CS6 über meine Cloud laden kann, ohne estra etwas bezahlen zu müssen, dachte ich. Es geht vielleicht auch mei älteren Versionen. Es wäre eine Erleichterung für mich.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working [Issue]

    Hello everyone! I recently just purchased Adobe CS5 as being very excited as I've been a customer before the CS series! Anyways, the install and registration with Adobe was no problem what so ever, I got to uninstall CS4 quite easily, it all worked. So, I've read the other topic of "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working" and this is not my problem! However, once I'm in CS5. I do a couple things, zoom in Navigation, enter some text, move a couple layers and it tells me it has stopped working. This is happening very often every so 1-3 minutes, so I've been living with it for about 2 days (IT has FINALLY passed the line, where I rip my hair out! Hehe, ). So now I'm deciding I post the problem!
    Computer Specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate x86
    Intel Pentium Dual Core 3.20GHz (OC)
    ATi Radeon HD 4670
    3GB DDR2

    After work.. I will be upgrading video card drivers to see if this makes a difference, only solution related to my topic in Adobe FAQs.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade to CS6 issue

    Hi there,
    I have just upgraded my Photoshop CS5 to Photoshop CS6 but when I enter my serial number for my current version of Photoshop, I get an error message saying my serial number is incorrect.  Am I doing something wrong?  Appreciate any help at all.

    Wow, I hadn't realized Adobe was going to keep the upgrade offer from Photoshop CS5 12.x to CS6 13.0 open after Photoshop CC 14.0 was released.

  • Photoshop CS5 animation option: render issues

    Hey there,
    I'm working on a stop motion animation (made with photos only) for class with added drawn on  animations. It's been working out fine until now. Since the animation is  long, I cut everything into short sequences so I know length is not an  issue. Here's what's wrong: I've arrived to a part where the drawn part  of the animation gets more important and therefore more detailed. The  animated sequence when played with CS5 looks fine, more or less fluid,  maybe a little laggy but it looks good. The problem is, when I export > render video (I choose AVI and it's been working fine), the end  result is disastrous and looks nothing like what was played in  photoshop. Originally the viewer should see a mass turning into a girl  who then turns around and it looks good in the program but on the  rendered video the shapes sort of leak into each other and don't evolve  properly (it's difficult to explain).
    I tried working on different computers, making the image neater (the  resolution is high which might explain the lagginess but the not the  horrible end result), changing the fps,... I'm out of ideas and the deadline is  approaching and I'm completely stuck at the most important part of the  animation!
    Please help, I'm considering doing this manually with movie maker which is just... no good.
    Any help welcomed, I'm desperate.
    Thanks.

    Hey Yukanegishi
    Try using Adobe Premiere when making animations.
    Its so easy, to use and very good results.
    The only thing i manage to do was in the sister program to adobe and that was a .GIF picture that lagged horrible

  • Photoshop CS5 Extended, Rotate Brush Tool

    Where is the Rotate Brush Tool, I dont see it
    Thanks
    simon

    Hello!
    More often than not, to fix issues with one tool, one needs to reset it: right-click the tool icon in the option bar, and select "reset tool".
    If it does not work, one should try to re-create the preferences files: do shut down Photoshop.
    Be ready to re-start it, but immediately after clicking its icon, hold down the CTRL+ALT+Shift keys (CMD+OPT+Shift on a Mac)
    You should get a prompt asking you if you want to re-create them. Click on yes.
    Re-installing is the last step, and is way less often needed: usually it is when Photoshop tells you that one component is missing. Also, reinstalling Photoshop does not reset the tools, or the preferences, and these two are often the fix.
    Hope this helps!

  • Photoshop and ID CS3 known issue?

    Hi all,
    Whenever I try to save a file from Photoshop over an existing file PS will refuse to save if the image is in an open, and unsaved, ID file.
    That, I assume, is normal. Usually saving the ID file will allow PS to save correctly. However more and more now I have to totally quit ID to be able to save a file from PS that is in use in a document open in ID.
    Hope I made that clear - it's a major pain in the posterior.
    Whilst I'm rapidly getting to the point of preferring ID over Quark this is a damn nuisance - to not be able to save a file simply because it's linked to an un-saved ID document, or like I said even linked to a no longer open ID document, without quitting ID first is slowing work down!
    Versions are as follows:
    OS 10.4.11, Photoshop CS3 10.0.1, ID CS3 5.0.2
    Thanks!
    Greg

    Buko,
    I have not experienced the problem on my machine. You are right, my InDesign is pre-CS, and I use it very infrequently these days.
    However, the error message and issue is seen intermittently by other posters, and by an acquaintance who is on a network. The application that has a file open doesn't have to be InDesign necessarily.
    You may have misconstrued the original post.
    b [Otherwise, I did.]
    It
    b is
    a Photoshop issue, not an ID issue. In this case, InDesign happens to be the application which has the file open that cannot be saved
    b in Photoshop.
    The workaround by the OP works.

  • Brush lock / freeze - Photoshop CS5

    Did some searching on these forums and google but couldn't find a solution.
    When painting in Photoshop CS5  ( mac ) the brush tool will often "lock" and turn to the spinning dial icon ( the grey segmented one, not the beach ball ) and remain stuck in this.
    I've tried this on different systems using both the new Cintiq 21UX, the old Cintiq 21UX, the Cintiq WX, and a Wacom Intuos 4 XL, on Mac pros and Macbook Pros. Drivers are updated to the most current in all cases.
    This only happens when using the stylus. The only way to get out of this without force quitting Photoshop is to use the mouse and click randomly outside the Photoshop interface. This includes the desktop and menu bar. When Photoshop finally snaps out of its funk, the Brush tool applies every click and movement in the canvas before the "unlock" of the Brush tool. Simply doing and undo will fix this.
    This happens frequently and is pretty annoying. I've tried turning Open GL on and off but the effect is the same.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    if it was a big new feature like content aware-something or puppet warp i'm sure it would be fixed right away but since a small percentage of users use mac pro's, CS5 and Nvidia cards and also use painting tools, its not a big deal to adobe.
    Quite the reverse: painting tools are used thousands of times more often than the new features.
    We do take such problems seriously -- but frankly we've never seen this problem ourselves.
    We have every variety of Macintosh, every video card, every OS version -- and no such problem when we're painting.
    And we can't do much to solve a problem until we have a reproduceable case to examine.
    What we do know is that a small number of people have problems when painting.  But we don't know what those people have in common other than running on MacOS.  Maybe they are all using NVidia cards, but we don't know for sure.
    And the questions I posted were to rule out obvious problems.  (and font bugs in the MacOS are causing random memory corruption, which can manifest in odd ways)
    Now we need more details.
    What OS version are you using?
    What haxies and utilities do you have installed?
    What else separates your system from a clean install of the OS and applications?
    What else makes your system different from everyone else's?

  • Photoshop cs5 crash when using the color picker since Yosemite update

    Hello,
    I have photoshop crashing when I use the color picker outside the canvas, like on the black background. I got this problem since I upgraded my mac with Yosemite. I got this issue on my Imac and my Macbook pro. My version of Photoshop cs3 don't have this problem.
    Is there any upgrade soon for photoshop cs5 to solve this issue? It looked online and I am not the only one with this problem.
    After paying 800$ for cs3 and 250$ for cs5 upgrade, I don't want to pay again for the cloud version.
    Thanks,
    Martin
