Resolution mismatch issue in Photoshop CS3...

Here's a problem that I haven't been able to find an answer to...
I converted 180ppi images to 300ppi using a program called ImageMagick.
When I open the image up on my machine the image size states that it is 7.454ppi, which is not what I want it to be. I want 300ppi.
However, when I open up that same exact image on a co-workers machine the image size is 300ppi like I wanted.
Both machines are running CS3.
Any suggestions or feedback greatly appreciated as this has been driving me crazy for weeks.
Thanks,
Pete

The ppi information that is stored in an image file (metadata) does not effect the image data in any way. The image data is the h x w in pixels. The ppi has to do with a suggested reference to printing an image on paper. But you can still print at any resolution you want to and override the ppi setting in the image file at the time of printing.
your statement
>I converted 180ppi images to 300ppi using a program called >ImageMagick
does not seem to be accurate since the 180 or 300ppi has nothing to do with the image data.
When you are in PSCS3 you can set the ppi to any number you desire and it will not affect the image data as long as you do not resample the image data. You can change it as many times as you like!

  • Colour Management Issues with Leopard and Photoshop CS3

    Hi Everyone,
    Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
    My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
    Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
    Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
    I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...

  • Photoshop CS3 Crashes Upon Opening Any File

    I am having an issue with Photoshop CS3. The application starts properly in it's own, but as soon as I open a file of any sort I immediately get the following message:
    Photoshop.exe - Application Error
    The instruction at "0x7c91b21" referenced memory at "0x000000010". The memory could not be "written".
    The application then quits.
    All of the other Adobe applications in the Suite work perfectly fine. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the software and I still get the same error.
    I tried the Adobe Support number but they won't help because it's CS3. Would love to own 4 or 5 but that's not possible for me at the moment.
    I also tried a quick google search but answers/solution seemed to be all over the place, although I did unsuccessfully try a few.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Colour Management Issue with PS CS3 and Leopard 10.5.2

    Hi Everyone,

    >It was working perfectly in Tiger with the monitor profile.
    You were lucky.
    the monitor profile is so Photoshop can display your images correctly.
    the working space is Adobe RGB, sRGB, BruceRGB, ect... these are all known color spaces so when the file goes to another computer there is a consistent color space for reference. If you use your monitor profile as a working space then nobody else knows what is going on with your file.
    when you print you need to use the printer profile for the type of paper you are printing on this is supplied by the printer manufacturer. you can also have custom profiles made.
    you need to read up on color management:

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS3 - Installer just dissappeared

    I have an issue installing Photoshop CS3 as follow:
    I have removed all Photoshop CS3 Beta manually (Use control panel, deleted files and registries) as instructed in this web and get rid of all thing involved Adobe out of my computer.
    When I clicked Setup.exe, a setup windows with progressive bar (See in http://www.thetaforce.com/image/cs3installer.jpg ) appeared shortly and then disappear!
    Then nothing is happenned further. No error message. It just disappeared. I wait for an hour but nothing happened.
    I tried to run Windows in clean mode (msconfig -> disable unneccessary services) and also disable Antivirus and Firewall etc. But this problem persists.
    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium (32Bit) and have Intel Centrino Duo 2.0GHz with 1.5GB of Ram (DDR2) and 100GB HDD. Graphic shared Intel 945GM Express Chipset.

    I finally got CS3 to install last night, I decided to vanilla install XP sp2 from scratch using a ghost copy.
    I then ran the installer from the same physical disk but diffrent partition and I got 2 errors, CS3 and shared components failed to install. I was just about to throw the towel in, having cleanned my pc back to nothing but base XP sp2 install and then I thought why not put the whole 460mb package on the root or C:.
    I ran the installer and uncompressed the file, which created the installer and executed. The options screen popup (at last!!) and I chose the default install location and few minutes later, CS3 was installed and running.
    I then spent the next couple of hours updating XP with 80+ security patches, IE7 and all my other applications.
    This may seem a bit drastic, but I can only conclude that this problem had nothing to do with CS3beta but rather a conflict with one or some XP security updates / patches.
    Also, there must be something inherently wrong with the CS3 installer scripts, perhaps absolute rather dynamic file addressing as it just would not work if I put the installer on a different drive.
    I've burnt nigh on 20 hours on this upgrade and finally have it running.
    Focusing on the positives, my pc is running a lot quicker and has less bloatware than before, however getting a PC to be stable takes a lot of time and effort, which I now have to contend with. In fact, IE 7 is already crashing more than it did previsouly!
    Looking on the bright side, I finally have access to my CS3beta PSDs with LR working in harmony.
    I do hope others can solve the problem in a less drastic manner. For me, I felt it better to work from a know XP build to isolate the many variables.

  • Photoshop CS3 Crashes After Leopard Install

    I tried upgrading to Leopard years ago from Tiger but downgraded back because of this same issue. I know I need to upgrade my system so I just installed Leopard again and again the same issue with Photoshop CS3 arises. After the install I am unable to open Photoshop, it just crashes. I imagine someone has to have an answer to this by now. Please help!
    Thanks.

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes on "save as" command

    Hi all,
    I'm running Photoshop CS 3 edition on Leopard. Photoshop crashes every time I try to "save as". Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have 2 gigs of ram on a new iMac.
    Thanks,
    John

    I too am having the same issue with Photoshop CS3 crashing everytime I SAVE or SAVE AS, and when I choose File>open while the programs is running.
    I am running
    Mac OS X 10.4.11
    Mac Book Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2GB RAM
    I had been running the program successfully for over six months until a couple days ago.
    I have verified/repaired permissions, reinstalled the entire Creative Suite, trashed preferences and reduced memory usage all with no luck.

  • Photoshop CS3 doesn't launch

    I know there must be a lot of info out there on how to resolve this issue, but I am having trouble finding anything that works. So, someone please show me where I need to go to see how to fix this issue.
    Photoshop CS3 randomly stopped working on my iMac running Snow Leopard (with latest update). When I click the icon in the dock it bounces once and nothing happens. Not even an error message. When I go to the Guest Account CS3 works just fine.

  • Photoshop CS3 causing new iMac to hang

    I have an issue with Photoshop CS3 hanging my iMac.
    When the application is active but in the background and unused for a while and I return to use it the entire machine becomes unresponsive, the mouse cursor can still be moved around the screen but nothing can be clicked (wireless mighty mouse), force quit can not be invoked to kill PS.
    I have to resort to switching of the machine in order to get it back up.
    Has anyone else seen this, either on an iMac or other intel macs..?

    Not to dismiss your problem by any means, I thought I'd report my experience since I'm running PS CS3 as well. I'm on a 24" iMac and PS CS3 has been running well for me.
    In addition to the keyboard and my Epson all-in-one printer (plugged into the back), I have a Logitech cordless mouse whose dock is plugged into the keyboard, and I have a USB 2.0 Maxtor hard drive plugged into the back.
    I am getting general problems when I try to use my Belkin usb hub and when I use my usb card reader for any length of time, but I can't see that they have had any effect on running PS CS3.
    Like I said - not to dismiss your issue - I just thought it might be helpful to share about my peripherals etc.
    Good Luck,

  • Cannot Run OR update Photoshop CS3 on MacBook 10.6.2

    My previous computer was running Tiger.  Its motherboard died and I had to get a new computer.  I'm now on a MacBook Pro  5,3, Intel Core 2 Duo, Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz, Memory: 4 GB.
    When I first noticed an issue running Photoshop CS3 on this new computer, I reinstalled the program from the CD.  I still had issues -- it won't stay 'open', or I can't open files, work with them and save them.
    The Version Cue 3.1 updater ran this morning and wouldn't intall the update.  Error message:: "The update cannot be applied to the product.  Please re-install the product and try again.    I'm not sure what else to do since re-installing Photoshop CS3 from the CD didn't help, and I don't have access to the computer I had it running on previously.
    Anyone have any suggestions? Fixes?
    Thank you!
    Mary

    It almost sounds like a Rosetta problem, but Snow Leopard starts Rosetta automatically for apps that need it, and if it isn't installed, it prompts you to download it the first time it needs it.
    I'd say beyond uninstalling, get rid of all the preference and application support files from both your user library and the Mac HD library, THEN reinstall it.
    A lot of times bad preferences remain behind and affect the reinstalled software just the way they did when it first went bad.

  • 10.6.x and Photoshop CS3

    Probably been answered before. Looking to upgrade OS X to 10.6.X. Are there any issues with Photoshop CS3?
    Victim of the US economy but now back to work, so will eventually upgrade photoshop but figured an OS X upgrade
    is cheaper to start with now.
    Thanks!

    I have been using Photoshop CS3 without a hiccup under Snow Leopard ever since SL was released.

  • Photoshop CS3 Changes Image Resolution

    Hello!
    Recently, Photoshop CS3 (installed on PC with Windows XP) has been changing the resolution of my images.  I'll create an image and save it (as anything... jpg or png). When I close and reopen the image, its values have changes.  For example:  a 10 x 5" images at a resoltion of 300 will somehow change to 100 x 50 at a low resolution of something like 6.  I'd like to know what causes this.

    Chris, if what you claim were true, then I wouldn't have an issue.  In fact, what I described in my initial post happens.
    I create a new image (we all follow the same process [Fle > New... select width, height, inches or pixels, resolution]) at a resolution of 300 for a 10x5” image.  Regardless of what I save the image as (jpg, png, etc.), if I close and reopen the image, the values have changed  The width always goes to 100" (I work in inches) and the resolution drops to 6, at the lowest that I’ve seen, up to 49.  Could a virus cause this? 

  • Edit in Photoshop CS3 Issue

    I have one computer where if I do "edit in Photoshop CS3," the file opens in Photoshop and the file name shows as a <image#>.CR2.  I can then save it as a jpg or whatever, and the added file shows up in my Lightroom catalog.  Perfect!!<br /><br />On my other computer, when I go through the same steps the file opens in Photoshop as <image#>-Edit.Tif.  And not only does it open this way (-Edit.Tif), but it automatically saves this image on the hard drive and adds it to the catalog regardless of whether I proceed to save in Photoshop or not.  This is driving me crazy, because it is saving multiple files and eating up hard drive space for no good reason.<br /><br />Can anyone help?  I've checked preferences, etc. 100 times but must be missing something.<br /><br />My "Edit in CS3" preferences are TIFF, sRGB, 8 bits, 250 resolution.  The "Edit Externally File Naming:" at the bottom of the Preferences page has "Custom Name" beside Template and nothing in the Custom Text line.<br /><br />Help!<br /><br />Thanks - Mark

    Lee Jay, I want the 2nd to do the exact thing the first does. As best I can tell, I have them setup identical and the first computer is not doing creating/saving files with a -Edit.tif in the file name.
    In any event, my bottom line is I want to choose "Edit in Photoshop CS3", have the file open in CS3 ready to edit, but not create a new file on my hard drive with a "-Edit" in the file name. I don't want anything automatically saved on my hard drive until I choose to save in CS3, and will likely save as a .jpg.
    So how can I accomplish this?
    Apologies for any confusion trying to explain this.

  • Photoshop CS3 and Light Room color issues on Mac

    Hi,
    I'm a photographer and I work mostly on my Mac. Recently however I started having issues when editing in Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 as the colors are very off from Lightroom.
    I attached these 2 images to show the differences.
    From Photoshop or directly from camera into Lightroom images look fine but after being edited in Lightroom and exported they look all brownish - green in Photoshop and on any other computer as well in print.
    I try to research it a bit online and it seems it all has to do with color profiles but can't get to the bottom of it.
    I tried to change the lightroom from ProPhoto RGB to Adobe RGB 1998 but it does not seem to work.
    The Photoshop is set on Monitor RGB and all images from Photoshop are fine on other computers and in print.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks.

    Well, I think what you need to do is get a better grasp on the fundimentals of color management-which is a bit beyond the scope of what the forums can offer you.
    The bottom line is that Lightroom & Photoshop CSx (meaning past CS or actually even back to 7) can and does make use of display profiles (you can't turn it off even if Photoshop has a setting that makes you think you can). An image in Lightroom and Photoshop is always color managed...outside of an app that is color management, all bets are off.
    Save, assigning and converting to profiles are all very different. Photoshop CS3's color settings are absolutely critical because that's how you deal with managed and unmanaged color.
    Until you learn different, I would suggest that you set your CS3 color settings to North American PrePress 2....if you want images for the web, Convert To sRGB or use the new Save For Web (which can now do the sRGB conversion-finally).
    For other uses and purposes, I would suggest that you seriously consider using Adobe RGB-until such time that you understand the implications of using Pro Photo RGB.
