Reinstall of CS3 Master Suite and Photoshop CS5

I recently had to reinstall my OS and now need to reinstall both CS3 Master Suite and Photoshop CS5. Can I install Photoshop CS5 first since I use that every day? And then later install CS3 Master Suite WITHOUT Photoshop? Or do I have any reason to install them in order, i.e. CS3 Master Suite WITHOUT Photoshop and then CS5?

I assume your Photoshop CS5 is the full retail standalone version?
I see no reason why you cannot install Photoshop CS5 then Master Suite CS3 (and uncheck the Photoshop CS3 option when you tell the installer what to install).

Installing cs3 master collection and cs5 production premium on windows 7 machine

I have a windows 7 ultimate machine that I would like to install CS3 Master Collection on. I would then like to upgrade the Production Premium programs to CS5.
I have the install discs for both. Any suggestions for how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Tahseen,
Thanks for the quick reply!
Both CS3 Master Collection and CS5 Production Premium are full installs, neither is an upgrade. I have serial numbers for both.
Machine previously had CS4 Production Premium installed on it, that has been uninstalled.
Should I install CS3 Master Collection then install CS5 Production Premium? If so, do I need to remove the CS3 versions of programs included in Production Premium before installing CS5 Production Premium?
Thanks again!

Reinstall and reregister InDesign CS3, Acrobat 9 and Photoshop 7

I just lost my Dell Latitude Laptop and my office Desktop computers, thanks to Sandy. Now I must reinstall Adobe Indesgin CS3, Acrobat 9 and Photoshop 7; as well as Windows XP and MS Office Pro 2003. What can I do to make the re-registrations of these products go smoothly, i.e. not take a week?

Not sure what you are trying to say. You need to properly reinstall them. Downloads can be found here for most legacy products:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
Activations can be reset by calling support. there is no need to re-register. If you did once, all the info is on your Adobe account already.

CS3 master suite installation complete Finally

Finally I Was able to get CS3 Master suite installed . all of it.
by just doing it one to two programs at a time. ( or a complete suite) which worked perfectly.
after months of playing around with this program which was poorly designed as a suite for total installation.
the installer always would hang up, or if it did complete it would install a shell of the program but not the program.
so one day i decided to go into the cs3 setup folder and unchecked all the boxes and just installed one at a time. if they were the same suite i would jus do the complete suite. and this process worked perfectly.
the licensing went off with out a hitch as each program asks for the license which is called for at the beginig of installation. so far each component works perfectly..
I just wish Adobe would get its developers together and design an install program that will install with out problems. just like i hear the business one does.
hope this helps..
insert DVD.
do not choose install.
choose: browse DVD content
choose: in the right panel choose: adobe cs3 (file folder)
in right panel choose setup.exe.
You will see initializing adobe cs3...
next popup will be"Manage Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Installer: System Check"
from this point it will check any adobe products on your system and show you its status,
*now a box will pop up : choose install \ reinstall. or remove components.
Choose install \ reinstall
another window will popup with check boxes already checked just uncheck all and chen check one or two at a time ( experiment a little here)
and install in groups of two or three, or as a single app.
upon each install ( groups or single) you will be asked to restart, and do so.
again you wil have to navigate to the folder as before, but this time
by the time i finished this over a three day period i had all suites installed. ( dreamweaver had already been installed with no problems) and registered most so far. still have a few more registrations to go..
good luck and you can email me if any questions as i have spent a lot of hours as most have installing, uninstalling, cleaning up and over again.

I had no idea where to post,

OH a side note. since I had an email address added here ( and now removed because some folks just cannot grow up.)
(My Government email address was removed from this posting, (which I forgot is added automatically when I respond from work) and to those that spammed me, and said they should, you might just expect a response from a government employee That traces illegal activities like this. AND in case you did not know it is Illegal to post SPAM to a Government agency and its employees.The folks I work for do not take to kindly at that.
To those that need the info I posted. I hope it works as well for you as it did for us.

CS4 Master Suite Upgrade = Photoshop STONEHENGE loading screen

This evening I purchased the upgrade to CS4 for my CS3 Master Suite. All applications installed without error however Photoshop loads with the beta Stonehenge loading screen. How is this possible? The version number is listed as: 11.0x20080826. At no time did I install beta software--the only existing install was CS3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i what you need to tell them is pretty much what the original poster said.
Well, as we can see from Ryan's post they are not even aware of the issue. There should be a specific issue that this is called that all of Adobe support has been made aware of so we all do not have to go through 10 levels of support and spend hours on the phone. Please escalate this issue with the powers that are at Adobe and treat your customers with more respect.
Instead of taking the attitude that the customer is lucky that anyone from Adobe is paying attention to the user forums, a much better way to handle this situation would be for Adobe to initiate the contact with the customers who they know are affected. So far, the only people here with the issue are people who downloaded the master collection from the Adobe store. Adobe has e-mail addresses for all of these people. Why not be proactive and send them an e-mail instead of having everyone call up Adobe and ask "Am I supposed to have a Stonehenge Screen when I start photoshop CS4?" I didn't even know whether or not this was a real issue. And I am sure that there are many customers who have this problem but are unaware of it and won't come to this thread to find out.
Adobe management can either address this problem as if they have some respect for their customers or they can just wait for people to complain.

Lightroom 4.3 and Photoshop CS5 Crashing

For several months, I have been trying to troubleshoot random blue-screen crashes when (and only when) using Lightroom 4.3 and Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 64-bit. The Windows stop error code is always 124 (hardware related). The crash dump files have not provided much help. They just keep referring to "ntoskrnl.exe" and "hal.dll" as possible causes, but that doesn't help isolate specific hardware. Without going into all the excrutiating details of what I have done to try to find a hardware problem, I am now 99% sure that hardware is NOT causing the crashes. I recently ran "Who Crashed, Professional Edition 4.01" to analyze the crash dump files. It identified "cameraraw.dll" and "tliadjust50.dll" (a file installed byTopaz Labs plug-ins Adjust 4, DeNoise 5, and Fusion Express 2) as possible causes of the crashes. I would like to refresh "cameraraw.dll" to determine if it is in fact causing the problem. My question is how to replace my existing "cameraraw.dll" file with a new one. Can I just download a new "cameraraw.dll" file (from where?) and replace my existing "cameraraw.dll"? Or, do I have to reinstall LR4 and/or CS5 to refresh "cameraraw.dll"? I really hope I don't have to do that, because I think I would probably have to also reinstall all the third-party plug-ins and extensions I have installed to work with LR4 and CS5, and that would be a major pain. Does anyone have any suggestions/

in each, click help>deactivate.
then uninstall each.
then install each on your new computer and activate using your serial number.

CS3 Master Suite

Hello,
I have 2 users that have CS3 Master Suite installed. Adobe Acrobat was on version 8.1.6 so I updated both to the latest patch. Seems that their ability to search a network drive with windows xp search has been crippled. Previously they were able to search the contents of all files on a network drive in about 5 minutes. It now takes 24 hours or more. Other users who only have CS3 Standard or Premium that also received the Acrobat updates do not seem to have the same issues. This issue occurs locally as well as on the network using the same set of files. If you try to do a search from a computer that doesn't have Master Suite it blasts through the search in no time so that leads me to think that its some "feature" in the master suite but I cant pinpoint it... Anyone have any ideas on why this would have happened?
I am aware of the built in Acrobat search and its index but it only indexes PDF's. I know the windows/google desktop indexers they would work but slow the systems down during their scans.
Thanks for any help!

Update/ adjust your graphics card driver. Both crashes seem pretty clearly related to issues with graphics acceleration not working as required by both programs.

Mac or Windows, and exactly which version of the operating system... which version of Master Suite (CS5 or CS6 or ???) and what error message do you see?

I wish to activate my cs3 master suite

I have tried to activate my cs3 master suite but the process errors with the code 194:13 however when I contacted the help chat I was told "You will have to refer Adobe forums for more help on this issue so that our technical experts can help you.".
So please, can you help? I really need to use this software and also really feel that I should be able to as I own license to it.

We know nothing about your system or any other technical details.

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5

Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5
I want to do two-pass sharpening - capture and output - with output capture done just before I print. I do the initial (capture) sharpening in the ACR Detail/Sharpening panel, with Amount slider set to, for example, 100. Then, I open the image to PS CS5 as a Smart Object, and use layers and masks for further editting.
My question is, can I go back to ACR for the final (output) sharpening pass? When I re-open the file in ACR, the Sharpening Amount slider is back to zero, but the other three sliders are still at the settings I used at the start of the process, i.e., the capture sharpening. If I again set the Amount slider to a positive value, then again open the image in PS for printing, will my second pass through the ACR Sharpening panel take effect - will it accumulate on top of the initial sharpening?
By the way, the reason I want do output sharpening in ACR rather than, say, PS Unsharp Mask, is so I can use the Masking slider in ACR, which is much easier than the comparable techniques available in PS. I am aware that some say you should not do any masking for the output sharpening. I'd like to though.
Thanks for ideas.

This is pretty much the way I do it, and I also always found ACR sharpening superior to anything in Photoshop. There is the "sharpen for output" in ACR, but you have little control over it.
The tricky part is feeding the file through ACR a second time. I don't think re-opening the Smart Object will do anything more than you could have done the first time. I do it with a rendered TIFF, and have an intricate set of actions that I run in the Image Processor Pro. It's a mess, and you don't want to know.
The frustrating part is how to action ACR. I just can't figure it out. It'll work, and then I have to change some setting and the action stops working. I suspect you need a script, but so far I haven't found any.
So I've come to a compromise: I first process to TIFF in a temp folder, then I bulk open them in ACR to sharpen, then a second process to finish up.
For less critical files I have a sharpening action that comes close, involving edge masks and blend ifs, using smart sharpen which tends to preserve edges better than unsharp mask, and with less accumulation of noise.
Bottom line: I'm also very interested in further comments to this. BTW, I recently bought Lightroom 4, so maybe there is a posibility using that in a mixed workflow.

Indesign cs5 and photoshop cs5 preferences installed as one.

I have Indesign cs5 and adobe photoshop cs5 extended installed in my copmputer. I see those two programs as the largest installed applications in my computer. I just wonder that maybe some of the preferences of Indesign cs5 and photoshop cs5 are the same. I am thinking that these files are the reason why the two applications are very large.
For example the Adobe Bridge cs5, i think that Adobe Bridge is installed two times in my computer. One from the installation of Indesign and one is from the Photoshop.
I just want to know if there is a way to install the two applications having their preferences installed once and both applications could use them. I think in that way i can save a free space in my hard drive. Any help would be much appreciated.

You cannot save space on your hard drive by combining portions of these programs, no.
Their "preferences" take up a very small fraction of the space used by these programs.
Furthermore, they already have an extensive set of common (shared) files that are used by both programs that are installed outside the program directories for each program.
Under Windows, that is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe. For Mac, /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
But no.
Also, hard drives are incredibly cheap. If you're worried about the size of these programs, you are doing something wrong and you're not going to be able to use them efficiently anyhow. In particular, effective use of photoshop needs many more times the size of the program in free space.
It's probably time to go and out buy several hundred GB (or some TB) of space.
