SSd & Photoshop Cs3 or what?!

Planning to configure the ultimate Macbook pro 17" for Ps Cs3.... Kinda confused!
What is the ultimate SSD config for photoshop Cs3 - I´m planning to have an 256SSD combined with the expresscard slot with an SSD as scratchdisk, Will this have a significant speed boast?
Or is 320Gb 7200 the way to go....
( And,can Photoshop Cs3 only use 4 Gigg memory, or 8 Gigg? )
As you can see, i am rather confused - any help greatly apprechiated!

All I know about SSDs and Photoshop is to remind that SSDs are faster for reads and random writes, but many are slower than spinning hard disks for sustained writes, which Photoshop will require. SSD may not be an overall advantage at this time.
( And,can Photoshop Cs3 only use 4 Gigg memory, or 8 Gigg? )
Photoshop CS3 will use 3GB directly and take advantage of OS X to use the rest of your RAM as a scratch disk buffer (the linked article still applies to CS3 and 4).

Selling my Photoshop CS3 online, what do I need to know about serials?

I now have CS5, which means that my CS3 has become obsolete.
I have never registered the product, but have used the serial number to activate it on a couple of occasions. I am now using a brand new computer, and so, haven't got Photoshop CS3 installed at all. I plan to sell it on eBay, but am worried about the serial number being unusable for the new user. Is there anyway to 'deserialise' or deacitivate the serial number so that a new user can install and activate as if it were a new product.
Thank you for taking the time to answer, if you do :-)

That would be absolutely illegal—and you would be ripping the buyer off.
Once you used CS3 to upgrade, you can not sell it legally, nor would it activate for a different user.
The only way you could sell it would be by selling the entire Photoshop license you own, including CS5.
Oy!

Unable to open CR2 photos in Photoshop CS3.

I am unable to open some very important wedding CR2 files in Photoshop CS3. What specific updates do I need to fix this? The raw photoUns were shot on a Canon 70D. The photos were shot in low lighting so I shot in a large format that I don't typically use. I feel that I have tried several updates available through Adobe but have been unsuccessful.

No, no, no! Don't do that. Older versions don't even support your camera.
The DNG Converter does not work on files, it won't even see them. It works only on FOLDERS. Do not point it at the files but at the FOLDER(s) that contain said files.

Photoshop cs3 Trial is not Working!

Okay, I've downloaded the cs3 30 days trial. After installation, i launched it and it said 'problem with trial...a problem was encountered while trying to load the trial period for photoshop cs3.' What does this actually mean? What should i do?

Hi Kirill,
Could you please check the Photoshop version? In Photoshop, please go to the Help menu and select About Photoshop... In the dialog, it will say "Version" followed by the version #. The Reflow PS Plug-in is activated in Version 14.1.
If you have a lower version, such as Version 14.0, please close Photoshop, and open the Adobe Creative Cloud application and click on the "Apps" tab. If you see an Update for Photoshop there, please install it. If not, please quit Creative Cloud (select the "gear" icon in the upper right of the Creative Cloud and and choose Quit Creative Cloud). Then restart Creative Cloud, and hopefully the Update for Photoshop will be available.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please respond here and we'll look for another resolution. Sorry it's not working for you right away!

I have Photoshop CS3 which I have used successfully for a number of years. I now shoot pics with a Nikon DSLR D7100. When I try to open NEF files the following flag appears: "Could not complete your request because PS does not recognize this file". What do I need to do to open my NEF files?? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, CP
FYI, the file is a photographic panorama based on several .CR2 photos taken in July, 2012 and processed in CS5's camera RAW/Photoshop. Beyond the metadata, here are no fonts or text in the file.
1. I changed Maximize ...File Capability from "Never" to "Always" and the flattened file saved and loaded OK, though I can't figure why given Adobe's description of this option. "If you work with PSD and PSB files in older versions of Photoshop or applications that don’t support layers, you can add a flattened version of the image to the saved file...". The file saved in this manner is ~8% larger and is not my preference as a routine since I've TB's of photo files. By the way, out of thousands of .psd/.psb files, the one being discussed is the first to give me the error.
2. I've tried saving/reloading the file on another computer with Win XP Sp3/CS5...again with Maximize Capability OFF. Same problem. Turn ON Maximize Capability and it works. As with the Win 8 machine, Bridge could neither create a thumbnail or read Metadata.
3. I've purged the Bridge Cache, made sure there were no old PS page files, reset PS preferences, and disabled my 2 plugins with no change in the problem. Windows and Adobe progs are all updated. Saving to a different HDD has no effect.
The problem occurs on 2 computers (Win XP/Win 8), two versioins of Photoshop (CS5/CS6), and "Maximize" On/Off togles the problem. My guess it is a bug in PSD processing routines.
If I can't find a fix, will keep with Maximize ON and deal with the larger files that result...the cost of insurance, I suppose.
Thanks again

What's the benefits of Photoshop CC over Photoshop CS3 for print design?

What's the benefits of Photoshop CC over Photoshop CS3 for print design? I'd like to know the advantages and features – all those I read about are to do with being a photographer, RAW, collaborative working, teams or digital designs, and those don't reflect my work.

BRistle brushes, more versatile art brushes, prrspective grid, to name butba few... Whether or not any of this is relevant for you is for you to decide.

Your Mac Pro 2008 should have no problems with CS6. Not sure about CC or CC2014. Note that Adobe stills sells CS6 with a perpetual license.
I run CS6 13.0.6 on a 2996 Mac Pro 1,1 without any problems or slowdowns whatsoever. Just make sure you have your Mac equipped with plenty of RAM, a physically separate HD for Photoshop's scratch, and a video card with enough VRAM on it. See my machine's specs below.

Photoshop CS3, can't import RAW2 what are the steps to succeed?

Hi
It all started with taking stills with a new Panasonic DSLR. I shot RAW2.
I tried to open at Photoshop CS3 but, though the files are recognized, I can't select them.
I seek guidance to take appropriate steps to resolve this. Thank you for your time. -n
Steps I took to trouble-shoot:
I updated my Camera Raw plug-in from 4.0 to 4.6
I did that separatly online, without using the Update mode [Adobe Updater] in Photoshop CS3.
I then tried to update Adobe updater to 5.1.1, from my computer, but I received this message:
"Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance"
I did convert succesfully to .DNG and can review the files in Photoshop CS3 but they are over-saturated, creating
hot spots, which makes me suspect I made a mistake during convertion.

a new Panasonic DSLR.
Which Panasonic camera exactly?

PhotoshopNews: Adobe Photoshop CS3 at a glance!

http://photoshopnews.com/2006/12/14/adobe-photoshop-cs3-at-a-glance/
Even more content out there now on the home page of PhotoshopNews.com

I haven't been able to download CS3 yet, but the Martin Evening pdf (thanks for the link!) has what looks like a piece of great news buried in it:
"For example, before you first had to create an empty new document with the exact pixel dimensions before you could place an image (such as a raw file) as a Smart Object. With Photoshop CS3, you can now place a raw capture file as a Smart Object layer in a single step."
If I understand this right, it means that the functionality of the old Dr Brown Place-a-Matic script is now available from Aperture. We can -- or this makes me hope we can -- send a RAW from Aperture to PSCS3 for editing, and then Place the same image, perhaps twice, as a Smart Object, edit away, and when we Save get the whole edited image back in Aperture without going through the Finder.
I used to use this (from Bridge) all the time to double-expose RAW shots: adjust the sky to one exposure and the ground to another, masking to get both into the final image, all without messing with the pixels of the RAW image. I've missed it. Whoopee.

Photoshop CS3 opening files painfully slow on a Mac

We're having an issue here at work where Photoshop CS3 is very slow in opening files of any size on our Macs.
We're running 10.5.8 on 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon MacPros with 3 of them having 8 gigs of ram and my machine running 12 gigs.
I've tried doing a bunch of research on the issue, but all I can find about it has to do with the issue on a Windows machine involving the network/default printers. I've tried deleting both our network printers and adding them again after a restart with no luck. We've even tried deleting the Photoshop preference file along with the Adobe Mediabrowser preference.
If anybody has any thoughts on how to fix this (aside from upgrading to a newer CS), they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I think I found a little work around that so far, for the past hour or so is working good. Files are opening up a lot faster.
What I did was create a virtual default printer following instructions I found Adobe's site...
1. Open System Preferences, and select Print & Fax.
2. Choose the + sign to add a new printer.
3. Choose IP.
4. In the Protocol pop-up menu, choose Line Printer Daemon - LPD.
5. In the Address field, type in localhost.
6. After Generic PostScript printer displays in the Print Using field, click Add.
7. Close out of the Print & Fax preference or Quit System Preferences.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html
Once I did all that, I had to go into the Preferences and delete the Photoshop and Mediabrowser preferenses and then restart the computer. Hopefully this fix sticks, but if not, I'm sure I'll back to see if anybody has any other ideas.
Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it.
EDIT
Well, it's been a few days and it looks like I may have spoke too soon on the above fix. Photoshop seems to be slowly reverting back to the problem.

Nikon D300 Raw files for 64bit windows vista machine not appearing in Photoshop CS3 raw

I purchased a new 64bit computer running Vista. I have installed Photoshop CS3 including the latest updates and the 4.6 (Camera Raw.8bi) raw update file. I included the raw file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats. I have purged cache in Bridge and I still cannot view the raw files in Bridge. I only see a gray square with a Blue NEF. I can open the files in Photoshop however. What can I do to see the files in Bridge?

Nikon encrypts RAW file data
ByMichael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource
(Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 02:16 EDT)
A news item posted on Sunday by PhotoshopNews.com reports on comments from Thomas Knoll, one of the original authors of Adobe Photoshop, relating to the RAW file format used in Nikon's D2X and D2Hs digital SLRs.
<IFRAME src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=112&keyword=NULL" height="250" width="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" align="middle" scrolling="no"> <A href="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/blink.fpl?region=112&slot=1" target="_blank"> <IMG src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/bimg.fpl?region=112&slot=1&keyword=NULL" border="0" width="300" height="250" alt="Click Here!"> </A> </IFRAME>
Thomas Knoll is currently the chief engineer for Adobe Camera Raw, the company's RAW file conversion software. The PhotoshopNews item references a forum thread started by Mr. Knoll in Adobe's official user forums, where he reveals that .NEF RAW files from the latest Nikon digital SLRs encrypt data relating to the white balance setting the photo was shot with.
RAW file formats vary significantly between digital camera manufacturers (and often, between different models in a manufacturer's lineup), and the manufacturers generally won't publicly disclose the specification for the RAW file format(s) they use. Some will offer plugins or software development kits (SDKs) that enable their RAW files to be opened in third-party applications, but these generally have some limitations attached to their use.
In addition, the companies generally offer RAW file conversion software of their own, either as part of their camera bundles or as an added-cost option. Nikon offer their pro SLRs with PictureProject software that includes limited control over the RAW file conversion process, and then offer the more feature-rich Nikon Capture conversion software for an added cost. In a recent publication on the company's Nikon Pro website, it suggested that it feels Nikon Capture is better-suited to photographers, while Adobe's Photoshop is more suited to graphic artists. Still, different photographers have different workflow preferences, and for this reason third parties such as Adobe often reverse engineer the RAW file formats, allowing them to be opened in their own software - sometimes with even better image quality than the original manufacturer's software.
In a way, it is understandable that companies would want to encrypt RAW file data from their products - it allows them to pick and choose which competitors are able to open RAW files shot with their products, and allows them to generate new revenue streams from the sale of their own RAW file conversion software (or, if they choose, the sale of licenses allowing competitor programs to access their RAW file data). Nikon is not the first company we're aware of to encrypt data in RAW files; Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-F828 RAW files contain encrypted data. In that instance, however, Sony granted permission for Adobe to decrypt the data in their software. At the current time, Mr. Knoll states that while Adobe has signed a non-disclosure agreement that grants them access to use Nikon's SDK, they have not received any response to requests from Adobe that the company be allowed to decrypt the white balance data, which would allow closer integration with their software than is possible with the SDK.
The fact that Nikon has chosen to encrypt a portion of the RAW file data would not be particularly problematic for third parties to overcome, were it not for certain laws enacted around the world in recent years. One such law is the United States' "Digital Millennium Copyright Act", often referred to as the DMCA, which makes it illegal to produce technology that can circumvent measures designed to protect copyright. One could argue that Nikon's encryption of the white balance data is just such a measure - which would make it an offense for a third party without permission to make software that could decrypt the original white balance setting used by the camera when the photo was shot. One could equally argue, however, that the copyright over the RAW file belongs to the photographer who captured the image - and hence the choice over what is done with that copyrighted work is entirely up to the photographer.
Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut answer, and short of a company or programmer finding themselves in court for having cracked the encryption, there isn't likely to be such an answer any time soon. This presents a problem for third parties attempting to make their own RAW file conversion routines for the D2X and D2Hs, as if they don't want to risk opening themselves up to legal action, they aren't able to determine the original white balance setting. Hence, they must either request the white balance setting from the user as the RAW file is converted, or attempt to determine an appropriate white balance setting automatically (which would not necessarily be the same as that determined by the camera itself).
Nikon hasn't communicated their reasons for encrypting the white balance information in their latest NEF formats, but we have to say it doesn't sound like a very good idea. While Nikon Capture does indeed offer excellent capabilities for people to manipulate images saved in NEF formats, many photographers and organizations have already established workflows based on Adobe's RAW plugin for Photoshop and other image-processing tools. The biggest consequence of this move on Nikon's part seems likely to be to push more photographers onto other camera platforms. It's hard to imagine that increased sales of Nikon Capture will make up the revenue lost from camera and lens sales going forward.

Error message when installing Photoshop CS3?

I downloaded Photoshop CS3 from the Adobe website. I am installing it on my iMac OS 10.8.5. The installation starts then a message comes on "Setup has encountered and error and cannot continue"
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello Jeff,
What I had was the Original CS package, but when I upgraded the OS, none of the apps work anymore. So, I uninstalled it. I have Photoshop CS3 on my office computer, which it still allows me more more installation.
So I downloaded it, but when I click on Setup App to install, it starts and then the message appears.
Thank you!
