Saving Photoshop CS4 file for Photoshop CS3

Hello
How should I save a Photoshop CS4 file so that a client running Photoshop CS3 can open it? In other words is Photoshop CS4 backwards compatible with Photoshop CS3?
Marlene

Just save it. but keep in mind that any CS4 features that you may have used will not be available in CS3.
Always save with maximize compatibility on.

  • Saving InDesign CS4 files for InDesign CS2

    I'm about to upgrade from CS3 to CS4 but have a client who needs to open documents I create InDesign CS2. I've been saving files for this clients in CS3's interchange (.inx) format, which has worked fine. But CS4 .inx files will only open in CS3. One work around I found was on TUAW (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/08/tuaw-tip-saving-indesign-cs4-files-for-indesign-cs2/), which suggests opening the .inx file in a text editor and changing the version number. The resulting file should then open in CS4. I was wondering if anyone has tried this (with or without success) or has any advice on saving CS4 docs for CS2? Thanks very much!

    I'll go with option 3 since I no longer have CS2 on my machine and my
    client won't be upgrading anytime soon. Thanks for the help and great
    advice.
    I'd never use this workflow if I couldn't test it on CS2 before sending it off to the client. Don't know what to tell you here... good luck?
    Me, harsh? Is that my rep?
    Oh, come on. I can say it another way:
    "Peter's going to be way too nice about this... DON'T DO IT."

  • Editing Flash CS4 files in Flash CS3

    Looking to upgrade our main multimedia production machine from CS3 to CS4, but we probably won't upgrade all the other machines just yet.
    Main question: If you work on a Flash file in CS4, can you work on it in CS3 and save it, or will some of the functionality be lost in doing so? Or is a matter of just having to save it in a certain way to make sure it works?
    Also, is there any issue with importing CS3 Illustrator, Flash or any other kind of files into After Effects CS4?
    Thanks!
    Matt

    cs4 can save files for cs3 so, it "..is a matter of just having to save it in a certain way..".
    you could lose some functionality if you used any flash player 10 capabilites that aren't in fp 9.  to prevent that you would always publish for fp 9 in your cs4 file to ensure you could use the file in cs3.
    i can't see any problems with importing non-flash cs4 files into flash cs3.

  • Saving a JPEG file for printing

    When saving a JPEG file for printing using Elements9, should one use "baseline standard, optimized or progressive"?

    Thanks, Andromeda....  I see that PSE8 Organizer has the ability to update the Caption as you have described.  The caption appears in the Description field in the General area and in the Description field in the IPTC area of the image file.  I was unable to update the Title or any other fields using Organizer.  Looks like PSE8 Editor must be used to update all the metadata fields in the image file.  Thus far, the only way I have been able to update the metadata in a JPEG file without having to re-compress it is with a HEX editor.  This, however, is a slow process at best.  Too bad Organizer or Editor does not provide the abilty to update all fields in the metadata without having to recompress the file.  I am not a programmer; however, it would appear to be a fairly straight-forward process.  Thanks, again.

  • Trouble saving Photoshop CS3 files to server

    I've recently upgraded to Leopard v. 10.5.2, and now I'm having trouble saving any sort of file through Photoshop CS3 to my company's server. Even after opening the file from the server, when I try to save it, I get an error message saying I do not have the privileges to save the file. And I've saved the file to my desktop, and tried dragging it to the server folder, and I get a slightly different message, but with the same problem.
    I can save jpegs that weren't created with Photoshop, but not vice versa. My other CS3 programs save files like normal. It's just Photoshop.
    One way I've found to get around the problem is to email the file to myself, and then transfer them to the server. But this is an annoyance. Thanks for any help.

    I would like to know how Adobe can make their uses download the OS X 10.5.3 update without sorting out the photoshop bug. Why should we not be able to save our files directly onto reliable servers. You would think that by now the concept of saving a file to a network disk would have been solved. Saving directly on servers worked flawlessly for me - why not now? I have never had this problem before until this OS X 10.5.3 update. This is appalling as designers save their photoshop files onto a server so that other designers may access their files. Yeah I will now work locally and transfer the files across. Last night I realised that I could not open many files that I had worked on during the weekend - I have lost hours of work and am feeling pretty devastated. How can Adobe not even warn their customers about this problem!!!! Don't fob your customers off. This is HUGE BUG - I've paid for my software so fix it!
    I wonder how many designers have this problem and don't even know. Abode should be letting their customers know about this BUG before they have to find out themselves after having lost irreplaceable work.

  • Mac | Indesign CS4 files seen as CS3 and converted

    Hello, I am experiencing something weird today.
    My ID CS4 files created with a 10.5.8 Mac started being seen as they were CS3 files, I mean as soon as I try to open them, they are being converted until I save them again.
    From there on, ID can open those files (re-saved) correctly without converting them again.
    I am afraid ID might change something when "converting" those files. Have you ever seen something like this?
    many thanks for your help,
    Ciao
    Carlo

    Hello, no, I did not install anything.
    It is already ID 6.04.
    I was wondering if it could be something at OS level instead.
    Thank you

  • Saving a swf-file for flash player older than 10.3 in Flash CC

    Hi,
    I am working with Flash CC and need to save my swf-files for Flash Player older than 10.3.
    Is there any chance to do so?
    Besides working with CS6 again ;-)
    Thanks for every help!

    In the meantime I found a very good answer myself.

  • Photoshop CS3, Flash CS4 file for mac

    HI there,
    I have a series of software we bought but the media that was delivery was for windows, how to get the media for mac? I have the serial codes and everything but i need the media how do i get it?
    Thanks,
    Denis

    No such thing. You can only try this. And just a friendly warning just in case there is a misunderstanding here: If you assume you could just use your Windows serials on Mac, than you are gravely mistaken. Serials are platform specific and your only option would be to upgrade and make the platform switch then.

  • Saving Illustrator CS4 file to PDF for printing. NO FORUMS CAN HELP

    I have put threads on the PDF forum, they told me to put it on Illustrator forum and still know one has an answer, Tried to contact Adobe about this and just got a run around. Can anyone please help?
    My problem results from when I save my file from Adobe Illustrator to a PDF for printing. After saving from Illustrator to a PDF and proofing it on screen all my gradients and other elements are where I need them to be on the page. But when I upload them to my printing company template all the gradients and so on are not even close to be in the right spot. How can I solve this problem, Is there a new setting in CS4 I need to know? Because I never had this problem with Illustrator CS3.

    Hi Reggie,
    I'm far from an Illustrator expert, but let's see if we can gather som more information form you that might help me, or someone else, figure out what's going wrong. Can you post a screnn capture of the arwork in Illustrator so I can see what the gradients are and how they're positioned? Use the little camera Icon thing in the toolbar above the message editing space on the web page.
    Next, tell us about the printer's template. What application is it made in? What version?
    What version of Illustrator and what OS are you using to create your art?
    Is it only the gradients that are in the wrong place? Maybe a screen shot of that would help too.

  • Slow Saving - Photoshop CS3

    I am running WinXP on a PC with 2 @ 3.2GHz processors & 4 GB of RAM. The default printer is local, not networked. But the save speed is not fast! The Photoshop Performance details are:
    Memory Usage
    Available Ram: 1709 MB
    Ideal Range: 940-1231
    Let Photoshop use: 1675 MB ((98%)
    Scratch Disks
    V:\ 14.39 nGB
    History states: 20
    Cache Levels: 5
    An help would be apppreciated.
    Chuck

    no. there's a switch that needs to go in the boot.ini file (as described in the link i posted) that allows windows to use more than 2 gig of ram. generally a 32bit operating system can use around 3 to 3.5 out of 4 gig. 32-bit apps can generally only use 2 gig. the switch allows the os to see a bit more (although still not the full 4 gig).
    without it, you have a situation in your described setup above where even though you have 4 gig installed, the os only sees 2 gig. you're setting 98% of that to photoshop so the rest of the os and applications are starving for ram. that causes the os to "swap" programs and data in and out of memory, which is why ps is slow.
    what i would do is start with bob's suggestion. cut back to 55% (which is the default value). then read the link i posted and setup the "/3gb" boot.ini switch. THEN you can go back to photoshop and start tweaking the memory allocation percentage back up a little at a time until you find a sweet spot for performance. i'd go up in 5 or 10% increments.

  • Saving a formatted file for S1000D

    Hi,
    I have had some success creating a document using the S1000D download with Framemaker 9. I can save it as a .sgm file and get it back. Problem is I want to format the contents in Framemaker. SGML doesn't include formatting so I tried to save it as a framemaker 9 file and it bombed out completely and closed Framemaker. This happens even if I start a new S1000D document and try to save it as a .fm file immediately without changing anything. Has anyone else had this problem or am I doing something stupid?
    Another Question: Has Adobe released a more up to date version of S1000D than 2.2? They're on 4.0.1 now.

    I was hoping this wouldn't open another can of worms. I am indeed using the beta application pack for FM 7.2.
    The strangest thing is that I've just tried it again and the sgm file saved successfully as a fm9 file and came back into framemaker with the formatting entact. I tried this several times earlier and it bombed FM completely. It might be because I didn't have any images this time. There are XSLT warnings when opening the sgm file though.
    This is all moot if the SGML will be invalid.
    To answer your question, I am trying to output to SGML by starting a new document using the S1000D2.21descript structured application. I then "Save As", choosing an sgm extension from the "Save as Type" dropdown. I can then open this file, special paste text from Word and save. Later, I open the .sgm file, save as a .fm file and format it.
    What are the options if I can't use the beta application?
    Thanks for your response. Let me know if you need any more details.
