Saved images appear as 72dpi Photoshop CS3 Extended

Hi
Suddenly my images which have been saved at 300dpi are coming up as 72dpi when I re-open them in Photoshop CS3 Extended.
I create a psd file at 300dpi, work on it, save it as a maximum quality jpeg/png etc, but when I open it up in Photoshop again it appears as 72dpi. Even the finished jpeg/png file sizes seem too small. I'm creating business cards and graphics for customers and I must know they are saved at 300dpi.
Can anyone help? Do you think I may have a bug? Fairly sure it's fully updated.
Thanks!

One qualification is that my comments were derived from Photoshop CS4. 
In that setup a file saved in SFW at 333 ppi and with the All meta data box checked produces a jpeg file, which when opened in Photoshop, shows the resolution (from the Image size dialog box) to be 72 ppi.
If I then click on File > File Info > camera data it shows the resolution to be 333
If I look at the so-called Raw data in the SFW file I indeed find the resolutions specified
Photoshop Version difference ?  Perhaps.  Or, maybe I got one of the platinum editions   . So for CS4 I find that when I ask to have the meta data saved via SFW it seems to happen.

  • Cannot Activate Photoshop CS3 Extended???

    Hi,
    I cannot activate my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, after coming across a previous thread regarding this issue (Re: CS3 Retail Box. Key Won't Work) I contacted support but after 3 representatives they all claim to not be able to validate the keys (despite one still being in use on my wife's laptop!). I just want to deactivate the keys from the previous 2 PCs so I can install them on my newer machines, my old pc has been formatted without deactivation so I cannot do it myself and I am scared to deactivate the other copy as It seems I will not receive any support in reactivating it.
    Here is a complete conversation with one of the 3 support representatives I have spoken to regarding this issue:
    Thank you for contacting Adobe.
    A representative will be with you shortly.
    Thank you for your patience.
    While you wait, you can try our community forums where experts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
    You are now chatting with Vijet.
    Vijet: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
    mike stripling: Hi, I have here 2 keys for Adobe Photoshop CS3 extended edition which are telling me there is too many activations on them
    Vijet: Hi Mike,In order to assist you in a better way can i have your Name your Email id and your Phone number please.
    mike stripling: one of them was on a pc which has been formatted without deactivation and the other is on my wife's laptop which also needs deactivation as that will be formatted soon
    mike stripling: Mike Stripling, [email protected] and I'm not sure which phone number it would be under
    mike stripling: (it was registered 7 years ago)
    mike stripling: I have spoken to two previous representatives who claim my keys are not valid yet after downloading cs3 from your website instead of installing from a disc it says for both keys that there are too many pcs using them at the moment
    Vijet: Can you please provide me with the Serial Number for your Photoshop CS 3
    mike stripling: [removed] & [removed]
    mike stripling: Your previous representatives claimed this did not show on their system
    mike stripling: but when I put it in photoshop it claims there are too many pcs using those keys
    mike stripling: I can screenshot this if necessary
    Vijet: Sorry to say Mike but the Serial Number you are giving me are invalid one's.
    mike stripling: No they are not.
    mike stripling: Why else would I get a big green tick and a page showing 'too many activations'
    Vijet: Please allow me a moment while I look into your account and see why are you having this issue.
    mike stripling: Ok.
    mike stripling: I also found this support thread with your adobe staff responses on this issue which may be relevant: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491813
    mike stripling: "CS3 can not be activated any more as it is end of life product, you can contact Adobe Support at Adobe - Contact Support – Download and Installation to know how to proceed for it & know about the options if there are any. Regards Rajshree"
    Vijet: The serial number you are giving me are not the valid one,i have looked into my resources.
    mike stripling: https://i.imgur.com/GRdHQmc.png
    mike stripling: then why do I get this?
    Vijet: May be Mike the Photoshop we are talking about is CS 2 not CS 3?
    mike stripling: the screenshot I just linked is cs3 and the disc with the serial numbers, box etc all says adobe photoshop cs3 extended
    Vijet: Because end of life of the product you are saying it's for CS 2 products not for the CS 3.
    mike stripling: your staff post says cs3 as well
    mike stripling: clearly stated in this thread https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1491813
    Vijet: Allow me a minute let me look into it.
    Vijet: From where did you purchased it?
    mike stripling: It was years ago, but I believe amazon or something
    mike stripling: I don't have the purchase order saved, who would save that for 7 years? :S
    Vijet: Sorry to say Mike i wont be able to help you with this.

    i am not an adobe employe and not an adobe spokesperson.
    but my guess is it appears to adobe as if those keys have been 'hacked'.  ie, published somewhere publically, used by others and are now blacklisted.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended on Windows XP Professional

    Topic: Selecting
    I have been using Photoshop Elements 4 until I just purchased Photoshop CS3 Extended. In Photoshop Elements 4 there is a selection brush, enabling you to make pixel by pixel selection (if desired). There seems to be NO counterpart in CS3 - - which seems impossible for so powerful a program. In that most of my work involves selecting very precise points of 1 or 2 pixels, how can this be done?
    Please help.
    Thank you

    Dave Milbut:
    Thanks so much for responding . . but, unfortunately does NOT work again! I did exactly as you suggested in that I made a selection fir so that I could get a quick mask. When I double-clicked on quick mask in the tools pallet, NO options appear that say "Paint on selections" nor "paint on mask". The options is get are "Color indicates Mask Area or Selected area" and you have to chose one. The only thing you are actually choosing is whether you want the color to appear on the mask you chose or inversely to appear on the remainder of the object. The "black" brush remains the same and does not change.
    If I do not learn how to make minute selections (so that I will be able to act on only tiny tiny areas) I will not be able to use this program after spending a million dollars for it. It looks like Adobe could make something so fundamental (available in Elements) available here.
    Could you help me further . . . PLEASE !
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial

    Hi guys, I've recently downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. When I select the trial period for 30 days instead of buying the product, it says that Adobe cannot continue and it's having trouble loading the trial. I reinstalled it and restarted my computer, like it said, and nothing worked. Please help, I cannot afford Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended right now, and I do not support piracy at all.

    I've tried to install the program from a different directory, I think my windows installer is crashing every time i try to install it, maybe I find a working hotfix for it.
    I followed these steps when i tried to install ps:

    First I downloaded it to C:~~/Downloads (1.)
    Then I extracted this file to C:~/Desktop (2.)
    Afterwards I got these files (3.)

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - No splash screen

    I installed my licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended today as part of my install a bunch of software after a reinstall of Windows (due to viruses).  I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I've used Photoshop CS3 Extended for quite a while now so I know what to expect on startup but it was previously installed under Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Figured I would give Windows 7 a chance this time around.
    Google searches aren't turning up anything.  When I attempt to start the application, I get a window with the title "Adobe Photoshop CS3" (no "Extended" - I seem to recall the title changes later) and the toolbar appears.  However, no splash screen appears and no Product Activation wizard appears - the application simply freezes on an empty frame and a toolbar.  I've tried running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click, "Run As Administrator"), but nothing changed there.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  I tried upgrading to CS3 10.0.1.  Nothing works.  The application simply freezes before it gets anywhere.
    I tried calling Adobe Support since this technically falls under installation issues but their phone support systems are down today.  Go figure.
    Edit:  I hooked into Photoshop with the Visual Studio debugger and every single thread is executing some variation of WaitForSingleObject() or WaitForMultipleObjects().  The main thread is "executing" somewhere in AdobeLM_libFNP.dll (at address 09619d81 - if I had debugging symbols for CS3, I could provide a function).  There are nine threads "running" at the point the freeze occurs - but all of them are technically suspended due to the functions they are executing - and one thread is in a suspended state.

    And, according to the Event Viewer, the "Binary" data translates to a zero-terminated Unicode string of "Cross-thread".
    My Visual Studio analysis was far more informative.  All threads are hung inside of WaitForSingleObject() and WaitForMultipleObjects() calls and the DLL in question appears to be FlexNet-related.  I did forget to mention that I also even manually started the FlexNet service in case, for some strange reason, Photoshop was waiting for it to start.  That also did not work.
    (And there is nothing in the Action Center control panel either despite the message saying there might be more information there.)
    Edit:  The timestamp above might be a little odd-looking.  I didn't originally see anything in Event Viewer until I clicked the first button to send an Error Report.  Mostly I just skipped that part of killing a process.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup - Windows 7

    Hello,
    Recently Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes when I launch it on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer. The splash screen appears but then it just stops working (usually on initializing Tools). It then asks to exit or search for help.
    I have read several things so far. To fix it I tried:
    - disabling the TWAIN plugin
    - resetting all tools
    - deleting the Photoshop preferences file.
    - deleting my printer from the control panel (some others said printer drivers could cause it)
    But all of these did not help. Please let me know how I could fix this. It is not nice having a deadline and not being able to guarantee Photoshop will work.

    Thank you for your replys!
    @Mylenium: I have not recently changed the graphics driver, anyway, this post will contain some more detailed information.
    Since the system does not hang (it is only PS) I could take a screenshot of it:
    And yeah, the message from the event log was very helpful indeed, I should have looked it up earlier ^^;

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended

    I have just installed Photoshop CS3 extended from my CS# Master Collection CD and I am not able to see my raw images from my Canon 40D camera. Can anyone help me with this. I have loaded the camera raw files 4.3.1 upgrade and I still can't see the images in Bridge. The error I get is Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

    So you have admin rights on the computer.
    When you installed CS3, from the CD, did you run the set up as admin? Least for Vista and Windows 7 the screen should dim and a pop up window asks you (if your logged on the computer as administrator) if you want to run the set up (or something along that nature). You choose yes and the software will run as administrator
    Also when you first ran CS3 did you open the .exe propertise, compatibility and check Rrun this program as an administrator? That has to be done too.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended crashes on MacBookPro

    Photoshop CS3 Extended crashes on MacBookPro
    I'm working on a MacBookPro Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM OSX 10.5.2 Eng
    The software is Photoshop Extended 10.0.1 and a Creative Suite 3 standard is also installed (Photshop is not installed because I've already had the extended version, both english versions)
    Photoshop crashes very often and it doesn't save in psd file format. In that case the message is 'Could not save 'xxx' because there are too many files open. Try closing some windows and try again.'
    When I choose New Document an error appear 'Can't read the document presets file.
    When I choose a new Workspace the error is ' The command "Select" is not currently available'
    Can't work!...any suggestions?
    Giuseppe Andretta

    Giuseppi,
    Some followup thoughts...
    25GB scratch disk is quite small. RAM may not have changed, but it's possible it's not seated correctly or that it is not working properly.
    Booting off your System disk's Disk Utility and then booting off the DiskWarrior disk and running repairs should be standard/routine maintenance, and should be run anytime your system is not "quite right". And they should be run immediately before any system or application updates. And then repeat Disk Utility right after.
    Most of us cannot read crash logs.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

    I installed the CS3 Master Collection that included Photoshop CS3 Extended. I've used Photoshop for going on a decade and I find the CTRL+ALT+I keyboard shortcut really handly to pop open the Image Size window.
    Now, in this new version (don't after a clean format, reinstall of my XP OS) the shortcut no longer works. I check and it still has CTRL+ALT+I listed next to Image Size in the drop down menu as the proper keys, but it does not work.
    Anyone having this issue?

    I tried resetting the preferences but to no avail.
    I'm avoiding having to do an uninstall/reinstall like the plague so If I can find what's causing it and fix it manually that would be preferred.
    I have thought about running the Adobe updater but I'm concerned that it may cause more problems that it would fix (as this has happed to me before with other apps). Everything else works great and this is the only issue I've noticed.
    Does anyone know if the update for Photoshop CS3 Extended addressed his issue (or knows of another cause that might be behind it)?

  • Picture Size in Photoshop CS3 Extended

    I have a bunch of digital pictures I am putting in a video script. My video is 16:9 so all my pictures have black at the sides. Does anyone know what size to make these pictures in Photoshop CS3 extended? Do I change the pixel size and if so to what?
    Thanks
    Lynn

    I don't want to crop them, I want to resize the images. I don't know what size to make them so they will be full screen on 16:9 television. Right now they are the size for 4:3 so have a black border on each side of the picture. In other programs I can resize them by pixils at 1280 X 720 pixils but in Photoshop the pixil size seems to be in the thousands. So would I resize at say 24000 X 24000??

  • IPhoto & Photoshop CS3 extended

    Hello everyone, I have a question related to Photoshop, I figured this would be a good place to find an answer. In photoshop CS3 extended, using the magnetic lasso to extract part of an image, after I extract the image, how do I put it somewhere else? I cannot find an answer to this anywhere on the web, so I thought I would try here, if anyone has the answer please help, I am really trying to figure this out before I drop the cash to buy it, I am on the free trial right now and the magnetic lasso feature is the only reason I want it. Thanks

    After you select the area you want with the magic lasso, do a Command-X (cut) and then Command-V (paste). Change to the arrow cursor mode and click and drag the area you selected to wherever you want it. A new layer will be created with the cut and pasted area in it.
    If you're considering PS CS3 just for the lasso feature you might consider Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac. It has the same lasso feature and about 80 % of CS3's features at 1/7 the price. I wouldn't get CS3 for just that.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can't unlock background layer using Photoshop CS3 Extended

    I installed CS3 a few days ago (though I'm an experienced CS2 and Photoshop 6 user) and opened Photoshop CS3 Extended today for the first time.
    The problem I'm having is with unlocking the background layer. I read in the documentation and on the Net about double-clicking and renaming the layer (which is what I did in other versions), or creating a new file with a transparent background, but those things aren't working for me in this version.
    I opened a tiff file (a logo I want to use as the basis for a new image) but I can't unlock the background layer so I can copy, manipulate or add to it. Everything on the Layers drop-down menu is grayed out, as are the word Lock: and the symbols following it in the Layers window.
    I tried creating a new image but when File|New dialog box opens the option to use transparent in the Background Contents dropdown is grayed out, too.
    I'd appreciate some help with this.
    Thanks,
    Peggy

    The issue has to do with the mode that you are in.  If it is a TIFF or GIF file that you are opening, when you click on "Image -- Mode" you are likely to see "Indexed Color..." with a checkmark next to it.  Be sure to select "RGB Color."  Once you have done that, you can simply double-click the background layer in the layers palette to unlock the image.

  • HELP - Installing Photoshop CS3 Extended using Apple Remote Desktop

    Hello,
    I have 12 MacPro's in a classroom. Is there a way to Install Photoshop CS3 Extended using Apple Remote Desktop (not on a server) to all the computers at once?
    Thank you very much.

    I don't have access to stand-alone PS CS3, only the Design Premium CS3 disc, but that includes Photoshop, so they're probably the same system. In any case, it does not use a standard Apple packaging scheme, instead using a custom mess of hollow folders, app packages, disk images, shared resources, and xml config files.
    I briefly went ahead with the idea of doing an install, looking for what had been installed, and bundling up that virgin copy using Package Maker; but installing it elsewhere — with Installer, nevermind ARD — failed or left me with a 'crashy' copy of the apps. Maybe I just stink at making packages of other people's software, but my guess is that Adobe's installer throws files into nooks and crannies all over, or does a importantly-different install depending on your hardware/software config. In any case, I gave up and made an updated hard drive image including the new software. Deploying that worked fine.
    Sorry I didn't have better news. Good luck. Joel

  • Final Cut and Photoshop CS3 extended

    I've searched google and had no luck with this whatsoever.
    I've opened an exported video sequence into Photoshop CS3 extended. (MOV, HDV 1080i60) In FCP6 the sequence had a time code of 0:02:03 whereas in Photoshop CS3 it is recognized as 0:02:02. It seems as if Photoshop is dropping a frame. Regardless, looking over my original MOV and the open Photoshop document I only have 51 total frames.
    This looks like Photoshop and FCP6 see frames differently. When I export my video from Photoshop, Quicktime sees all 51 frames still there. When I pull the video back into FCP6 the timecode for the sequence is now 0:02:02 (just like Photoshop sees it) and it drops the last frame.
    The frame is there! I can see it when I go over the video in Quicktime. For some reason FCP6 is refusing to show that last frame and will only display a timecode of 0:02:02 for that clip!
    What am I to do? How do I get FCP6 to show that last frame?
    Thanks heaps, in advance.

    "I've opened an exported video sequence into Photoshop CS3 extended. (MOV, HDV 1080i60)."
    do you mean you've imported an Image Sequence (movie exported from FCP as individual image files eg- tiffs)...
    "In FCP6 the sequence had a time code of 0:02:03 whereas in Photoshop CS3 it is recognized as 0:02:02."
    Where in Photoshop are you reading timecode??? Or are you just counting the individual images?
    "It seems as if Photoshop is dropping a frame. Regardless, looking over my original MOV and the open Photoshop document I only have 51 total frames."
    If the original movie was at 1080i60, and your clip is 02 seconds and 2 frames, that would imply you should have at least 60 images (29.97 (drop-frame?) / 30fps x 2 seconds)
    "This looks like Photoshop and FCP6 see frames differently. When I export my video from Photoshop, Quicktime sees all 51 frames still there. When I pull the video back into FCP6 the timecode for the sequence is now 0:02:02 (just like Photoshop sees it) and it drops the last frame."
    Now i'm really confused...
    "The frame is there! I can see it when I go over the video in Quicktime. For some reason FCP6 is refusing to show that last frame and will only display a timecode of 0:02:02 for that clip!"
    Yup... you got me... I have no idea... I think there is a non-dropped-frame timecode conflict in the Image Sequence(?) export from FCP and way PS is interpreting these images...
    I have the good fortune of working in PAL-land, so I'm not too knowledgeable on what i think is your problem... hopefully someone from NTSC-land will chip in and help you out.
