Serie cs3 dje

bonjour, je possède une CS avec le numéro de série 1130 15 8758 7948 773
j'ai ensuite installé et utilisé une CS3 sur mon ancien disque dur, qui tournait fort bien
je n'ai plus ce disque dur, et n'ai pu la désinstaller…
j'ai réinstaller la CS3 sur mon nouveau disque dur, mais elle refuse ce numéro de série
(pourtant enregistré en ligne chez Adobe)
pouvez-vous me fournir un nouveau numéro d'activation valable? merci!
j'avais également une licence pour Dreamweaver, (encore chez Macromédia à l'époque)
mais elle refuse également

Hallo!
Bei mir geht zwar PS CS, aber, wenn ich auf Datei - öffnen gehe, erscheint eine Viertelsekunde das Dateiauswahlfeld und PS CS3 stürzt ab...
3 malige Neuinstallation brachte nichts...
Nicht so richtig gut für ein so teures Programm!
Viele Grüße
Tobi

  • Adobe Bridge CS4 vs CS3

    Hello everyone,
    I'm taking a class at the college about Photoshop and we are in a chapter
    where we're using Bridge.
    The class uses version CS4, but I'm using CS3 (the instructor gave a
    thumbs-up to that prior to class). I'm in a place where I can't figure out
    how to do it in CS3 and asking your help.
    Here's the scenario from the textbook (CS4):
    1. Open Bridge and click on the Folders tab.
    --- Like in PS, there is a menu at the top that I don't have in CS3. Same
    here in Bridge. After clicking the Folder tab, the book is showing a screen
    where there are headings of Essentials, Filmstrip, Metadata, and Output.
    2. Open the .psd file
    --- that we were working with earlier in the chapter in PS
    3. Click Output, then click the PDF button, then click Repeat One Photo per
    Page check box, then click the Refresh Preview button.
    --- I'm lost!
    4. Scroll down to the Watermark section of the Output panel, click the View
    PDF After Save checkbox, then Save.
    --- Still lost!
    Before I'm troubling you, I spent about 90 minutes looking through menus,
    Adobe help, and online. Nothing!
    So I'm drawing on the experience within the group to tell me if these steps
    are possible in CS3 - even if they are not exactly as described above. As in
    PS, sometimes the book shows how to do something and I can figure out a
    work-around in CS3.
    Thank you!

    I certainly agree with John J.  The user interfaces are quite different, and the Bridge Output create  pdf function you are asked to do in Bridge CS4 replaced a CS3 pdf fuction performed from Photoshop CS3 called PDF Presentation.
    Here's a series of CS3 steps that gets close to what your CS4 exercise looks to be calling for:
    1. Launch Bridge CS3 and click on the folders tab and navigate to the folder with the pds files for your exercise.  (Ignore the different layout for workspaces et al.)
    2. Select one or more psd files in Bridge (thumbnails in Content panel). 
    3.  Still in Bridge, click on Tools > Photoshop > PDF Presentation.  This will launch Photoshop if it not already open and display a PDF Presentation dialog box with some choices.  The top section will list Source Files, which should show the file or files you had selected in Bridge.  In the bottom section Output Options select the Presentation button, and you might click to Include Filename.
    4. Click Save at top of the dialog box.  You should get a Save dialog box.  Select filename and where to save the pdf; then you should see Photoshop's Save Adobe PDF dialog box in which, under General,  you can check View PDF After Saving.

    > but the part about DNG has convinced me to dive deeper in it and give it a go
    When working in a Bridge/Camera Raw/Photoshop workflow, I tend to ingest the actual native raw files, do initial selects and gross edits and basic metadata work via templates and THEN do the conversion to DNG. I'll use the DNG as my working files and the original raws as an archive. I tend to do this more with studio shoots. I tend to use Lightroom when I'm on the road.
    When working in Lightroom first, I tend to ingest and convert to DNG upon ingestion (when in the road working on a laptop) while using the backup copyusually working on a pair of external FW drives one for working DNG files and 1 for BU of the original raws. Then, when I get back to the studio I make sure I write to XMP and export the new shoot as a catalog and import into my studio copy of Lightroom. Then I'll also cache the newly imported images in Bridge as well so I can get at the image either in Bridge or Lightroom.
    It's a bit of a chore now since I do work in Camera Raw a lot (well, DOH, I had to to do the book!) but I also keep all my digital files in a Lightroom catalog which is now up to about 74K...
    Then, depending on what I'll need to do, I'll either work out of LR or Bridge/Camera Raw...
    If I'm doing a high-end final print, I generally process out of Camera Raw as a Smart Object and stack multiple layers of CR processed images...if I'm working on a batch of images I'll work out of Lightroom since the workflow seems to suit me better.
    In either event, I've found DNG to be better than native raws with sidecar files.

  • How can I restore proper PDF exports from InDesign CS3 or CS5 in Snow Leopard?

    I had no problems exporting PDFs from InDesign CS3 (on a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 Snow Leopard) until this past weekend, when all the fonts appeared bitmapped or thin and raggedy, and the images lost some color depth and contrast. When I copied the InDesign document to my MacBook Pro laptop, also running 10.6.4, the PDF emerged with its original quality. Calls to Adobe support referred me to documents concerning incompatibilities between InDesign and Snow Leopard. One of these documents was several pages long, but I could not print it from the Adobe website to my HP All-In-One Officejet, because one-third of the document was hidden under a white panel. This makes the document impractical for troubleshooting, because I don't have enough screen real estate (even on a 23-inch display) to keep the document open along with all the pages and dialogue boxes needed for reference. Back to phone and chat support, I was advised to upgrade my Creative Suite Premium CS3 to CS5 ($800!!!) and purchase the latest Acrobat Pro upgrade ($200), with no guarantee that this $1,000 cost would actually solve the problem. I did download the trial version of InDesign CS5, and it did NOT solve the problem. I'm also concerned that the problem did not exist until last weekend. Prior to that, my CS3 and Snow Leopard combination worked just fine. I then checked the forums and was dismayed at the variety of problems associated with PDF files, for which there seems to be no general fix. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of ads I'm supposed to be preparing and emailing as PDF proofs to businesses around the country. I have two books of 120 and 256 pages that need to be submitted to printers in PDF format with all kinds of fonts and image files belonging to my clients. The last time I submitted a book to a printer via email, the job went perfectly. This time, and next, it's obvious I won't be able to send PDFs at all! If that's the case, my 27-year-old directory business will be unable to absorb the expenses necessary to start all over with new computers and software, and I will be out of business. Period. So-- does anyone have a way to fix this? I would surely be grateful.

    I'm on a local network, built on Apple's Airport Extreme. but I'm the only computer user on it. I use it for transferring files between the desktop computer (Apple Mac Pro) and laptop (Apple MacBook Pro) and, occasionally, to print from the laptop to a Xerox Phaser printer.
    About a year ago, I added an Apple Airport Express to the network, allowing me to play iTunes music from the laptop through a Panasonic BluRay player connected to a home theatre sound system. No problems of this nature appeared with that installation.
    About four months ago, we connected a DirecTV satellite receiver system to the D-Link router that carries wired network service from the desktop computer to the Xerox printer. The satellite TV system includes a series of modems that allows DVR recordings to be accessed and played from any of the TVs in the house. (As you would now perceive, I run my publishing business from my home). However, this set-up has been functioning for about four months, and I did not encounter the PDF problem until last weekend.
    Now -- about the fonts.
    Because of the many ads that I publish from various sponsors, it is possible that different versions of the same fonts have invaded my system. In the "missing font" alerts I get, InDesign frequently is seeking TT or T1 versions, which I replace with Adobe fonts when possible. Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium included a fairly large collection, which it keeps in one folder.  The Apple OS also includes a bunch in a separate font management folder; and there are carry-over fonts that came with the business when I acquired it 10 years ago. Some of those fonts may go back 25 years to the book's inception. However, in the past several years, I have generally rebuilt all the ads that appear in my publications, substituting newer versions of fonts. Hence, the preflight program has been able to locate and include all the necessary fonts in the packages that go to the printers.
    Once again, I have been able to export good PDF files for all the varieties of ads and books included in my system, until last weekend. One of the documents is built entirely with Helvetica Narrow, for which I have only one version.. Another document consists mainly of Times, and there are 3 or 4 versions of that font in the system; but the version contained in the document has not changed from when it exported properly.
    So... I guess the complexities involved in the network and/or fonts could be part of the problem, as you suggest, but golly -- I hope not. The last thing I want to do is disrupt and rebuild the network or font collections. The font situation especially would set back production for months if not years, because so many individual ads and off-site clients would be involved in the process.
    I'm sorry if I provided more details than you expected. I didn't mean to take so much of your time.
    Thank you.

  • Show DataTips for each series

    Is there a way to customize the DataTips for each series in a
    chart? I have a column chart that has a line series in it. The
    columns display actual data, but the line shows an average.
    Currently the datatips are set to show the column chart values,
    even when a user hovers over a line chart datatip. Is there any way
    to have the datatips for the lineseries display the lineseries
    data?
    I know I could create a DataTipFormatter that included both
    the column data and the line data at the same time, but I would
    like them separate.

  • CS3 How to choose a Codec/extension wrapper and Preset for a project

    Goal 
    To create fanvideos from commercial DVDs for personal fair use.
    Potential to use to promote a series in a social media campaign with permission of owner.
    Tools on Hand
    Three seasons worth of the series ripped from commercial DVD --> .VOB format in TS Folders on my 2008 10.5.8 Mac using MacTheRipper
    FFMpegx CODEC pack.
    CS3 Premierie Pro with Mac updates that were posted on the Adobe site.
    So far I've been able to
    I managed to use ffmpegx to convert my .vobs into .mp4s, which I then renamed as .movs to get Premiere to recognize it.  I managed to sync my audio with the mp4 encoder (may have been a H264 but not sure by changinge the frame-rate from ntsc film to ntsc. 
    Problems I've encountered
    I had admittedly been experimenting with different codecs and .exts, trying to find optimum quality:size:premiere/iDVD compability, so I had a variety of source footage in my project.  For some, I had to readjust the pixel aspect ratio.  But when i rendered/exported the final product...everything was squished and incorrect.  I had sound syncing issues for some of my trials, too.  Before I was trying to make things compatable with iDVD.  I no longer care about this and have no intention of burning anything with this project. 
    I saw things on the internet about using Encore's library of codecs, but couldn't find anything .dll on my computer.  I also have no idea how to use any of hte CS3 support software (bridge, extension manager, after affects)
    Current steps I'd like to take
    I'm starting over and converting my .vob files into something Adobe will recognize (a simple file name change didn't work in this instance).  I've read the different file types that Adobe PPro recognizes, but it's come to my attention that it prefers some file types to others.  Which extension wrappers are the least likely to cause headaches when trying to edit in Pro?
    Out of those possible codecs and extension wrappers that are compatible, which are the best for fitting a lot of quality into a small filesize?  I heard good things about H264, but I don't know if the patch I dl'd will be enough to make it Adobe PrePro compatible (and I know there are a few different kinds of h264.  the only one i had any success with at all put it an mp4 mpeg container, but didn't end up being anything of a filesize savings compared to the other h264, which ended up being useless).  I have about 60 .vobs that are 2 GB big, and don't have an external hard drive yet, so this is a consideration.
    How do I choose a preset for my new project?  These DVDs were released over the course of 3 years, and they don't all have the same specs in their native format (when I grab the info from DVD player, it's different).  Will I have better luck using different seasons if I convert them from .vobs to identical target file types?  I guess the better question is, when using 3 different types of files that are wrapped into .vobs, am I better off customizing the target file to match the file information DVD Player gives me for each different season....or trying to find specs that serve all three seasons best and have more uniform files imported into Premiere?  Eitherway, how do I know how to pick a Preset?  I try keeping a 16:9 or 16:9 DVD in my target files, but does that make it a widescreen project to start?  Once I start the project, is it too late to change these settings?
    Thank you for helping a newbie.  I tried looking around for answers to each problem as I came across them, but eventually I got overwhelmed and threw my hands up, deleting everything.  I'm ready to ask for help and have a little patience.
    *It's important for me to use free or very affordable 3rd party software, as I am currently unemployed. 

    You MAY want to think about a product that will read the output from your DVD player and convert to DV AVI
    Matt with Grass Valley Canopus in their tech support department stated that the model
    110 will suffice for most hobbyist. If a person has a lot of tapes that were played
    often the tape stretches and the magnetic coding diminishes. If your goal is to encode
    tapes in good shape buy the 110, if you will be encoding old tapes of poor quality buy
    the model 300
    Both the 110 and 300 are two way devices so you may output back to tape... if you don't
    need that, look at the model 55
    http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 One Way Only to Computer

  • Cannot see web photo gallery in design in dreamweaver cs3

    have made web photo gallery in PS- opens in browser- opens in
    dreamweaver cs3- I can see the code all OK can view again in
    browser--But I cannot see the thumbnails or tables-yet I know its
    there hidden?--How can I make it all visible

    Cindy:
    If you dig really deeply (10 levels down!) in your Library folder you will find the templates for the new Bridge Galleries. You can also use the Lightroom templates in Bridge CS4.
    Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe output Module/mediagallery/resources/templates/07lightroomgallery/styles
    I duplicated one of the enclosed Styles and dragged it to the Desktop;
    opened it in GoLive (because I like the way that GL displays html code although any text editor will do);
    edited the code to give me the background colors, text and image frames that I wanted; and Saved the file with a new but similar name (starting with next two digits in the series and with the .xml suffix) in the same location as the original.
    And it works!
    You may be able to put your existing templates in the appropriate areas.
    Or, you could install the Optional Plug-ins which let you use the Photoshop/File/Automate
    web galleries and put your old templates wherever you kept them for CS3.
    WARNING:
    You should be perfectly safe doing this but if you screw-up CS4 and have to re-install it I accept no responsibility!!!!!!!

  • Problem with image flip in ID CS3

    I have a document with a series of similar pages, for example a common background image and then coupons of varying value amounts on successive pages. On the "coupon" portion of the page, there is a small picture of the product. Sometimes the product image will print fine, sometimes upside down, sometimes upside down and backwards. Typically the first page of the document will print or distill fine, and then one or all of the following pages will have a flipped image. Printing each page one by one corrects the problem, since then each page is "page one". The problem occurs when printing to the color laser device as well as when distilling a pdf. When inspecting the document, it appears to be properly constructed. This is just one sort of example, but usually it is any sort of layered, complex file with multiple images. One of my staff said he has seen this happen before at his previous employment, with large InDesign files. Any thoughts on how we can prevent this from happening. We are all on mac and printing to an industrial strength commercial output, but I don't think it's the output device, since it happens when we distill a pdf as well. Thanks

    Al and Michael,
    In answer to your questions,
    we sometimes when making a low res pdf for client viewing do an export 
    from Indesign to a customized "small file" ppd variant that collects 
    the fonts.
    Usually we print to postscript and use a ppd created by one of our 
    film houses, Vertis, that is the customized ppd we use to export to 
    our epson proofer SWOP that generates a pdfx1a. If you would like I 
    can send you these ppds. Please let me know.
    Sometimes when the file is complex using the print to file and distill 
    does not work, we get some stitching and boxes so when we use the 
    pdfx1a export from Indesign sometimes that works. We have learned that 
    it is not exact science. That is another issue, since the files that 
    have the stitching issues are not the same files that have the image 
    flips.
    The equipment and versions we are using:
    Mac g5 computer (non intel)
    OsX v10.5.6
    InDesign CS3 v5.04
    Acrobat Distiller Professional 8.1.3
    Since the problem occurs in the same documents both when outputting to 
    the device and creating a pdf intermittently I would not be so certain 
    that the issue is caused by the output device, however,
    it is a Canon Image Press C1
    Boot ROM version 55.03
    Device System 63.01
    and the server running it is a
    EFI Fiery System 8
    Version 1.01
    I see some PPDs that are for the Canon that are EF4M2068 with 
    different extensions. Don't know if I am looking in the right place.
    The Canon people are also looking into this however like I said I am 
    suspicious that there may be something in our file construction since 
    we run a lot of documents here and it seems to be confined to just a 
    few of them.
    Any insight you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,

    In addition to what Michael asks, what ppd is being used when you 
    print to postscript for distilling? Or are you actually exporting the 
    pdf?

  • Images print too dark from Photoshop CS2 and CS3

    Having used both CS2 and CS3 I now realise that the prints that I work on in either appear much brighter on the screen that they do when printed, as much as 3 stops darker when printed. I have also noticed that in other programs such as Google Picasa that I use as a viewing tool the images appear closer to the images from the printer. I have used various pro-labs that require their profiles to be used and my own epson 3800 printer at home and despite trying lots of different settings I am unable to get prints that look like they do on the screen they are always darker.
    I am using windows XP on a dual core 2.4 PC with 2 Gb ram and an ATI Radeon X1600 series grafix card which I have just updated the driver on. The monitor is an LCD type and is calibrated weekly using a spyder 2 express.

    First isolate whether your display is too bright or your printer is too
    dark. I'd start by printing images from another source and see if they
    look as they should. www.drycreekphoto.com has a number of calibration
    images that should do for this purpose.
    Once you've isolated the problem, we can take it from there.

  • I have Photoshop CS 6 on my computer.  I want to bring a series of photos together into one image wi

    I have Photoshop CS 6 on my Mac computer.  I want to bring a series of photos together into one image without any space between images, does anyone know how to this?  Ideally I would like to this manually.  
    The reason I ask in my ealier verion of Photoshop, CS3, there was a manual alignment  feature when using 'Photo Merge' feature, undr which you could manual alignment photographs if you wanted to, and I do in this instance.  This feature was removed in subsequent versions of Photoshop CS 4,5, and 6. 

    Sean, Batch resize them all to the samne size, load as layers, increase Canvas size, and the layers will 'snap' together with the Move tool.  You'll be able to use the alignment tools in the Options bar when the Move tool is selected.  You will also be able to use the 'Auto select layer' feature in the Options bar to make it easier grabing the right layer.
    Otherwise, get hold of Contact Sheet 2. Still resize all the images to the same size, and set the gap to zero, and turn titles off.  Please note this is from memory, and it is years sonce I last used Contact Sheet.

    You need Adobe Camera Raw (ACR).  Go to the download page and download the last vesion for CS3, believe it was 4.6. 
    Be aware that each version of Photoshop has its own series of ACR. 
    So if you have a latter model camera it might not work with an older ACR.  To check look here  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html

  • Unable to print in Illustrator CS3

    I am now encountering my recurring problem - trying to print one of my maps.  To give some background, this is for a boardgame and consists of almost solely Illustrator effects.  There is a small amount of material from Photoshop incorporated.  It consists of some 20 layers of various effects, and was generated in Illustrator CS 3 (13.0.2) under Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Over the years, I have generated a number of large maps, for various efforts.  These range in size from about 6-12 sq.ft.  All the maps are generated in Adobe Illustrator, ranging from Illustrator 10 to CS3.  The maps are generated on beefy hardware platform (MacPro, various iterations, lots of RAM), with no problems in generating the map artwork.
    However, over the years, when it comes to trying to print of of these  maps, I am almost completely unable to print them.  I dont have access to a large format printer, so I try and print these using various small size printers, and tiling the pages.  However, this inevitablely fails.  I am unable to print on any printer, under any OS (Mac OS X or Win XP), with any hardware, with any settings I have tried.***
    The current effort is an .AI file of about 100 MB is size. I have also saved this same file as a PDF (flattened layers from AI, ~100MB in size), and as a PDF without Illustrator editing capability (this reduces the file size to 12 MB).
    I have tried using Illustrator or Acrobat to print these documents.  At best, I can sit there and watch the status bar creep to 100%, and then sit there for 15 minutes, at which point I give up.  At no time do any of the printers show any activity.
    I have tried printing just one tile (page) of the map, and it does the same thing.
    This is of course intensely frustrating to encounter this again.  I cannot figure out why this is happening.  Is there some sort of pre-press operations I need to do ? 
    thanks,
    Tom
    ***  There is one exception.  I have a small Brother HL-2270DL printer attached to my home network.  Using Illustrator, I can print the entire tiled map in a matter of a few minutes.  I have no idea why this works. Acrobat still totally fails.  As satisfying as actually printing something out, I need a color print.

    Mike, while I am currently struggling with this one file, this same issue has dogged me for many years, over several different files, with, as far as I can tell, nothing in common, other than I generated them (the problem lies between the keyboard and the chair ? : )  Each of these maps is heavy AI work, with gratuitous use of textures, patterns, swatches, brushes and feathering effects.  There is a little bit of PS Placed artwork, but not much.
    I will see if leaving out the placed artwork makes things work better, but the amount of Placed artowrk is pretty small.
    What really baffles me, is that in its most distilled format (PDF with no Illustrator editing), the file is only 12 MB.  I cant fathom how a 12 MB file can present a challenge to any computer made in thre last 5 years.
    I havet not yet explored the Advanced printing options, and I dont know what most of that does (even after doing AI for 8 years or more, I am still a hack).
    Is there a good book that explains the different printing options and strategies ?  I am flying somewhat blind when it comes to something other than simple printing.
    One further data point:  I opened up the previously mentioned 12 MB PDF, using Photoshop.  I rasterized the document to the tune of 300 DPI, and then saved it as a Photoshop PDF.  My thought was that opening in PS destroys any vector information and saving back out as a PS PDF then puts it into a form I could print from work.  From work, I opened this file on a Windows machine with plenty of horsepower and resources.  I attempted to print to a beefy Xerox 7xxx series office printer.  I tiled the document an hit "print".  The progress bar stayed at 0% for 20 minutes.  During that time, the CPU load ranged from ~5-20%, and the free RAM stayed at about 1.7 GB.  I checked the printer during this time, and it registered a print job, but no progress was made.  I gave up after 20 minutes.
    thanks,
    Tom

  • [JS,AS,CS3]running javascript in bridge from applescript

    Sorry for the cryptic subject description, and you might think this is a bit off topic, but i hope you could shed some light on this.
    I need to execute a Javascript in Bridge from an applsecript using an Applescript. Bridge only has one AS command: do javascript with arguments.
    My testtude looks like this:
    set myJS to "
    alert(arguments[0].toString());
    alert(arguments[1].toString());
    alert(arguments[2].toString());
    alert(arguments[3].toString());
    alert(arguments[4][0].toString());
    set arg1 to 12
    set arg2 to "some text"
    set arg3 to "'some single quoted text'"
    set arg4 to "\"some double quoted text\""
    set arg5 to {1, 2, 3, "a", "b", "c"}
    tell application "Bridge CS3"
    do javascript myJS with arguments {arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5}
    end tell
    --tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
    -- do javascript myJS with arguments {arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4,arg5}
    --end tell
    You would expect a series of dialogs to appear with the content of the arguments, but you'll get nothing! If you omit the '[0]', you'll get any numerical value, but all strings, however they are quoted, are ignored.
    Strange.
    Stranger still is, that if do the exact same thing in Photoshop, it works like a charm and you can pass any kind of data as argument.
    Any ideas on what's going on?
    Thanks!

    Here is my AS script from Xcode project:
    Some text is in Russian don't mind it. Most important that this is a
    working example.
