Slow opening pictures on Photoshp CS3

Hello everyone,
i have a Mac Pro 2.66 (Intel Processor with Mac Os X 10.4.11) with 3 gb ram and an external scratch disk (connected via USB 2.0) and i see a very slow performance (about 10 sec) when i double click an image to open.
If i go at my hard disk, at User/admin/Library/Preferences and i throw away the file com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist, then everything seems to be in order.
It opens the files very fast again as it should.
What may be the problem?
What should i do?
Thank you for your time
Greets

Hello again.
It seems i am not gotting to rid off all of these problems.
I have already locked that .mediabrowser. file with NO ACCESS.
But it seems the problem remains.
So, every time i am in INDESIGN, i click on an .eps file in my document and i give a right click and EDIT ORIGINAL, the most times, it takes a century to open.
Many times, where i shoot FORCE QUIT, it seems PHOTOSHOP in not responding.
If i wait around 10-15 secs, then it opens the picture.
The pictures i am referring to, is stored on ours local server disk, that is Window based.
The problem with Photoshop is on the above machine again,
a Mac Pro 2.66 with 3g ram and on Photshop and Indesign CS3.
Any help, much appreciated.
Thank everyone.
Cheers
Dimitris

I can't update my Photoshop CS3 in order to open pictures made with Canon Eos 60 D

It's not terrible even if you jump a few versions; the Adobe folks don't want change a good thing, so much of what one expects is still where you expect to find it from version to version. A person who upgrades from Photoshop CS3 to CS6 will find the new Tabbed View, introduced first in CS4, and probably won't like it (at first), but it actually can grow on you.
With CS6 they've introduced this new "shape layer" abstraction of what was once a fill layer with a vector mask. Beyond that, I suppose there must be 3D changes, though I haven't the experience to tell since Photoshop CS6 is the first version I've moved up to Extended with. I admit, the 3D stuff is fun to play with.
Just to give you an idea of what I've been doing with Photoshop just this evening... My collaborator and I have been photographing carbon stars - red giant stars whose atmosphere contains more carbon than oxygen, and which are strikingly red. In this image the carbon star, SAO49477 is the red member of the close double just up-right of center. The red stuff between the stars is glowing hydrogen gas, singly ionized by starlight to emit a deep red color. Someday it will coalesce and make more stars.

The fix: Change the namespace on the second line of <project root>/src/ANESampleTest-app.xml
FROM: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.6">
TO: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/13.0">
A brief and incomplete background:
The file <project root>/src/ANESampleTest-app.xml is the ‘application descriptor file’. When using the project files downloaded with the tutorial (that contained the 3.6 reference), the builder did not find this compatible with the configuration on my computer (a trial version I installed today - 5/3/2014 - and patched according to the tutorial). I never did figure out how to lookup valid namespaces and am still confused about how all the sdk’s relate to each other. I stumbled upon this solution by creating a fresh new project and found that the namespace specified by the new project wizard was “13.0” on this line of this file.

Color and Contrast Change when opening pictures in PhotoshopCS3

I just calibrated my monitor { Mac book 15 inch Pro} using Display Calibrator assistant. I used the Expert mode. I normally had it Calibrated with HUEY PRO. I was not liking my print results with Huey. So I matched the print to the new calibration using Display Calibrator. Now that the pictures match. I go to open one in Photoshop CS3 and the picture darkens, more contrast, and high in Saturation. I can view the picture in photoshop and see it in Bridge at the same time and they are dramatically different. I have all my color spaces set in photoshop the right way using the SRGB for working and that is the format I Shoot in. I have not changed anything except the new monitor calibration. Any one know what could be happening? THanks!!!

Now that the pictures match.
Which pictures match?
Are the profiles embedded in the images?
What are the Color Management Policies?

Solution for Slow Open and Save As Dialogs under 10.4.4

I don't know how many others out there may be experiencing this, but...
I noticed that -- after updating to 10.4.4 -- I started getting really long delays when accessing Open and Save As file dialogs -- I mean, sometimes it would take 5 to 15 seconds for the dialog to appear!
I did a lot of troubleshooting, and finally hit upon the solution a couple of nights ago:
It's the Desktop iDisk!
Going into the .Mac Preference Pane and turning off "iDisk Syncing" has totally eliminated the slowdown.
I think it has something to do with DiskMirrorAgent, since that has frozen on me a couple of times and prevented logoff until I force-quit it.
'Hope this helps.

Hi Matt,
One can always manually mount the iDisk when needed, and it still syncs, albeit in real time, and kind of herky-jerky.
As for the slowdown when multiple items are mounted, I believe I'm describing a different issue, related to DiskMirrorAgent. If and when you get this slowdown (with desktop iDisk syncing enabled), check Activity Monitor, and you'll see DiskMirrrorAgent sucking up most of the CPU time for the time it takes before the dialog appears. My record time was about 25 seconds.
As for slow Open and Save As dialogs when multiple items are mounted: I customarily have several external FireWire drives mounted, and often a couple of CDs and/or DVDs (I produce a radio program, and have several optical drives), and I have had no Open or Save As dialog slowdowns since at least 10.3.x, maybe earlier.
Even when the dialog opens to a directory on a CD that has spun down, the opening time on an Open or Save As dialog is nearly instantaneous for me, suggesting that Mac OS X 10.4.x is doing a good job of caching the data.
But I hear you about the "old days," when it used to take forever to get a dialog to appear, just because a CD was mounted! Maddening!

Opening pictures in iPhoto from other programs

I'm wanting to use pictures from my iPhoto library in other programs-- i.e. Photoshop Elements or to upload to a website. When working from Photoshop Elements, when I go to File>Open>Pictures>iPhotoLibrary I get an error message. The only way I seem to be able to USE any of my photos stored in iPhoto is if I copy them to my "pictures" folder in the Finder and then use them. Of course, this means I am using double the space on my hard drive. There must be an easier way. What am I doing wrong?

So if I use Photoshop as an external editor, the Save function is only saving a copy? Does the copy go back into the original event this way?
When you set Photoshop (or an Image Editor) as an external and then go to edit the pic here's what happens:
1. iPhoto makes a copy of the file and sends the copy to Photoshop
2. Make your edits
3. Save.
4. The Edited version is returned to iPhoto and saved in the Modified Folder.
5. A new thumbnail is made and replaces the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window
Thereafter if you want to get to the Original you have several options:
a: Photos -> Revert to Original - this destroys the modified version
b: Export using the File -> Export command, set the *Kind: Original*
c. Any other form of export yields the edited version.
In Windows if one chooses save when editing in Photoshop, the original is overwritten,
This is true in Photoshop on the Mac too, the difference is you're using iPhoto, and it's +iPhoto making the copy+. Hence the 'Save As' to preserve your original is unnecessary.
which i can't seem to access in Finder browse mode or from iPhoto
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

"Open Picture Window Fever" not working properly

I've used "Open Picture Window Fever" successfully until
recently. After adding the behavior, and viewing my page in a
browser, the images do not open using "Fever." When I check the
behavior specs to make sure the dimensions are there, "image name,
width and height" are replaced with switched info. For instance,
"Image Name" will now have one of the correct window dimensions,
"Width" will have another dimension and "Height" now has part of
the title or original "Image Name." If I browse a second time for
the image, it seems to work o.k. however I'm working with pages
that have many images and going through "Fever" twice for each
image is a drag.
I've searched for a new download for my Mac. Forum writers
suggested
http://dreamweaverfever.com/extensions/
for other users but it doesn't download for me giving me scrambled
text. Might be only for PC.
I've also trashed preferences thinking that might help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Updated my Macbook Air to Yosemite and now IMessage won't open pictures

I updated my Macbook Air to Yosemite a few days ago and since then IMessage has been acting up. It won't let open pictures now. A picture comes through titled "IMG_2882" but when I click on it, it comes up with a description of the image - the type of image, when it was last modified, etc. I click the 'Open with Preview" option and nothing happens. I'm regretting updating to Yosemite now. Is anyone else having this issue? I have no idea how to fix it. Please let me know if you have any ideas! Thank you!

If it is the third party apps crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.

Opening JPEG in Photoshop CS3

When i double click a JPEG thumbnail in Bridge CS3 it opens up in Paint.How do i get it to open up in Photoshop CS3.If i double click a PSD thumbnail it opens up in Photoshop CS3,but not the JPEG's.Have i got something set wrong.Thank You.Robert

Locate any JPG in Windows Explorer.
Right click.
Choose 'Open With'
Tick 'always use this program".
Select the application you want (ie PS CS3).
Same logic applies throughout Windows, so you can use this method to associate any extension with any program.

Very slow open cr2-photos

After update to os x 10.9 mavericks, my macbook is very slow open CR2-files. In Quick-look or Preview.app - i have slowdown about 5sec, then photo opens. At 10.8 similar photos open instantly. Seems like something broke after update. My config: Macbook Pro 13" with Retina, Core i7 3GHz, 8Gb RAM, Intel HD 4000. Have ideas?

I am having the exact same problem after just updating to OS X Mavericks. CR2 files take ages before they are shown. In 10.8 these exact same photos loaded very quickly (instantly). In Adobe Bridge these photos show up quickly as well.
I am running a 13" Macbook Pro, Mid 2010 with 8GB of RAM, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Since I use my laptop mainly for photo editing, this is very frustrating. Hopefully there will be a fix soon enough.
