Trying to decide whether to upgrade CS3 to CS5

I've had CS3 Design Premium for a few years but never really used it much except for Photoshop. Now I'm starting up a blog and have been reading and learning just how useful many of the other programs could be for me, but before I put a lot of effort into learning the CS3 programs I have, I wonder if there are any really dramatic advantages to upgrading to CS5 and learning that instead.
Is CS5 so much more amazingly awesome than my dusty old CS3 that I should upgrade? What are some of the real advances over CS3? One thing that would make me inclined would be if the CS5 programs were a lot better at efficiently using my hardware (I have an i3 and NVIDIA 330 in my laptop and would like to get the most out of them).
Anyone have any advice? Did you upgrade and were blown away?
Thanks for any thoughts!

You need to tell us what programs you're using. The programs I use regularly, InDesign, Photoshop and Dreamweaver all have dramatically improved. I have a couple of articles on my website about InDesign. For CS5: http://www.theindesignguy.com/cs5-thoughts.shtml and for CS4: http://www.theindesignguy.com/cs4-thoughts.shtml
You might want to pop into the actual application forums for the apps you use to make a decision. You can get a decent deal on the Design Premium upgrade at Amazon right now: http://amzn.to/9zAnwa $30 off, no shipping and most likely no sales tax collected.
You can also download demos of any program you want to test drive.
Hope that helps,
Bob

Trying to decide whether to get the iPad with the 3G. Any recommendations?

Trying to decide whether to get the iPad with the 3G. Any recommendations? Also, does my dataplan for my iPhone good for the iPad?

If you already have a phone, then for 20 per month ( depending on your carrier) you can tether and you are all set, since you have the phone, i dont see the sense in the extra 130 for the 3 g in the pad. If you are out a lot, and want the convenience of a single device, then the 3 g is for you, but otherwise, tethering is a fine option.

I'm trying to decide whether to buy ipad or cheaper tablet. What is retina display and what is diff betw ipad and mini with only wifi? What is mini missing?

I'm trying to decide on tablet to buy -- what is the difference between mini and ipad? What is retinal display? Why do some have wifi only and some have wifi cellular? Why would I need cellular?
I keep hearing that apple computers don't pick up viruses like pc (of which I have had my fair share) so that is why I am considering -- but there are some really attractive deals for cheaper tablets.

A simple answer to a loaded question? Not here!
1.     For starters, I can't recommend the newest iPad AIr or iPad Mini. The previous versions worked perfectly though if you want to go the Apple route. That alone will save you a few bucks. Best Buy undercuts Apple prices by a few $$ and has bonus sales around this time of year.
2.   You get what you pay for. I like the Samsung Galaxy Tabs a lot. Good hardware and software. App store has plenty to offer. You also have size options like you do with Apple.   Since I have the Galaxy S3 phone, the Galaxy tabs are very familiar. The Surface (smaller one) is big for a tablet, it works great, but is subject to the frailties that plague PCs to some degree.   I don't like the keyboard, but do like the kickstand.   I don't know about the availability of Apps for the Surface, I think it may be a major downside to the device. The Surface is not cheaper than iPad either. As for the cheaper Tablets, they will be in the landfill before Apple introduces a new gadget (that's pretty often....)   The Kindle is still primarily, an eReader.
3.   Wifi or wifi and cellular - If you have a smart phone and can tether a tablet, you don't need cellular on the tablet. With more places offering free hot spots, wifi is more than adequate. ( I use very little cellular on my mini)
4.    iTunes and the App store; I will start by saying I am cheap. If the App isn't free, it has to be really valuable to me or I won't buy it. I paid for Pages on my iPad 2 years ago and I bought a password wallet that syncs on all my devices on all platforms. Aside from that I buy music to add to the CDs I imported to iTunes. If you don't like iTunes and don't want to use it, keep looking at android tablets.
5.    ios 7 - Never has Apple made such a big deal and been so poorly prepared to introduce a new ios. It has devoted Apple heads steamed. I count myself one and have had no problems with my devices, educated user I hope, or just really lucky.
6.    I really USE my tablet. I use it for work, for financial management and communications. I rarely have to resort to the desktop as almost everything is possible on the iPad. I love it's portability! Documents and data flow back and forth with the cloud I never worry about losing anything or finding anything. Photos download automatically from my Android smart phone with Dropbox App and are instantly available to load on all devices.
7.    If you are a big PC hacker type, the switch to ios is culture shock. The first time on the new iMac I was at my wits end trying to navigate. I only had to stop working so hard and it all fell into place.
My personal experience:
    I have the iPad 2, (wifi only) and the first mini (with 4G LTE) and I had a 4th generation iPod touch and now have a 5th Gen iPod touch (which I really like a lot). My son has an iPhone 4S and the iPad with retina display. Both my sons have had iPods through the years.
   My 50 year old eyes prefer the bigger screen of iPad 2 and typing is much easier. But I love the portability of the smaller tablet, so one for home, one for the road. Thanks to iCloud what ever is on one is also on the other, documents, data, contacts, etc.   Retina display, my son has it, I don't, I can't say I miss it. It does make pictures look better, if you are a photo person, the retina display is worth it.
I also have transitioned from PC to Apple completely, I bought an iMac 4 years ago and it is as fast as it was on day one, no crashes, repairs, viruses. I just bought a Mac Mini and I also use Apple Airport extreme for router and I have an Apple TV (the only disappointment, I prefer the Roku 2)
I'm sure that was more than you asked for.....

Once again: prints too dark after upgrading CS3 to CS5

Hi, I know this has been discussed before, but I haven't found a solution to my issue in the existing threads. I am most likely missing something obvious, and perhpas someone here can point it out to me.
I recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5. In both editions of photoshop I followed Eric Chan's recipe for setting up the print workflow: http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/Epson3800/printworkflow.html. In CS3 everything works as expected, i.e., the print matches the soft proof. Printing the same image from the same computer/monitor in CS5 produces a print that is much darker than the softproof or the CS3 print.
In case this is relevant, my psd files are all in Adobe RGB 1998, I use the Epson supplied print diver (v5.51) for the Stylus 3800. I use the icc profile for Epson's Exhibition Fiber paper, which is what I am printing on. The conversion method is Relative Calorimetric with Blackpoint Compensation checked. Photoshop runs on a 32bit Windows XP SP3 machine.
Any suggestions? Are there any settings that are not mentioned in Eric Chan's write-up that I should look at to find the source of the difference? Is there anything else that could account for the different prints?
Thank you!
Martin

Thank you for the help! Here are the screen shots. I printed the wacked image from CS3 and CS5. In CS3 everything looks right, i.e. the soft proof matches the print. In CS5 the soft proof looks the same as in CS3, but the print is dark. A photo of the printout is attached at the end.

Deciding whether to upgrade to 5th gen device

I've had a 1st (possibly 2nd?) generation iPod touch for almost 4 years and I'm considering getting one of the new 5th gen devices now that the battery life is pretty bad on my old one. I will probably never use iCloud for a variety of reasons, the most important one being limited access to wifi.
I mainly use my iPod touch to listen to music and podcasts; as an alarm clock/timer; to show photos to people; and I run a few apps, such as a ToDo app, and many games. I'm looking forward to having a camera on the new device.
My questions:
1) Will the new iPod touch work okay with my "old" MacBook Pro which is currently running OSX 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.6.3? Will I have to update either the OS or iTunes?
2) Will my old apps still work? Some of them are no longer available in the app store, but I'd like to continue using them. What about the data associated with the apps? Does that transfer to the new device?
3) What will and what won't work with no wi-fi and no iCloud?
3A) I understand that calendars and contacts have absolutely no way of syncing with my computer without iCloud. Does that include when I first get the iPod, not being able to populate it?
3B) I do very occasionally use wi-fi at the library or something like that to check my email and use Safari. Will that functionality change at all?
3C) Can I get photos onto my computer from the iPod (or the other way around) with no iCloud? I use iTunes to choose which photos to have on there to show to people now.
3D) What else will be different that I'm not thinking of?
4) How much free space is there on a fresh-out-of-the-box 32GB model?
Thanks for the information.

1) With Mac OS X 10.6 yes, but not with iTunes 10.6.3. You'll need to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.
2) It depends entirely on the specific app. Some may work without problems, some may work but with glitches, and some may not work at all. We can't give you any sort of blanket statement on the subject.
3) Without meaning to sound flip, anything that requires a network connection won't work without WiFi, such as network games, AirPlay, over-the-air synching, etc. Without iCloud you won't have backup sans a computer, document synching, and of course the other features of iCloud.
3A) With Mac OS X 10.6.8 you'll still get synching of calendar, contacts etc. via iTunes. That was lost only with OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
3B) No, other than the interface differences.
3C) Yes.
3D) Difficult to say. The interface will be quite difference from iOS 3/4, but most people have little problem adapting. You might want to peruse the user's guide before you buy to inform yourself of the new features and interface:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_touch_user_guide.pdf
4) I believe it's around 27GB out of the box, but someone else here who has a 32GB model can probably say with certainty.
Regards.

Advice needed on whether to upgrade or not...

I am trying to decide whether to upgrade my operating system from Mac OS X v.10.2.8 but am worried that some applications may not work if I do. I am using Adobe Photoshop 7, Microsoft Office X, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX... I haven't upgraded the OS yet because I'm not technically knowledgeable and it's all a bit over my head! One of the main reasons that I am considering upgrading is that I can't get certain podcasts because I can't get itunes u, because I can't upgrade my itunes because I need OS X v.3 or higher. And I have also noticed that Software Update hasn't found any updates since Jan. 2007 and I'm wondering if this is because there aren't any more updates available for OS X v.10.2.8 because it is old? I would be very grateful for any information or advice. Thanks in advance!

At this point with all of the current complaints of the OS X 10.5 release you might want to wait. Not only are there some issues with 3rd party apps, but currently there are enough issues with Leopard itself that I would suggest holding off until they fix most of the problems. I am finding it hard to troubleshoot if the problem is with the application or with Leopard itself. I figure that since Leopard can't even view JPEG files properly as thumbnails, in cover flow, or even in Preview properly, who knows what else is wrong with it right now.

Iphone 3gs vs 4s ... still trying to decide?!

i'm still trying to decide whether or not i want to upgrade my iphone from 3gs to 4s. i mean outside of the advertised differences (siri, better camera, front facing camera, flash, better hardware/speed/battery life/etc), are there any other differences?
i'm still pretty happy with my good 'ol 3gs iphone and since it was eligible to upgrade to ios5, i don't necessarily feel like i'm missing out on much...yet.
i've read rumors that the NEXT iphone will be even more dramatically different, but i don't know when that may come out and what new features there may be. i'm a little wary of getting locked into another 2 year contract just to miss out for another year or two on something else more spectacular.
anyone have any thoughts or find other features that i may be missing out on?

The iPhone 4S has no more new features than the jump between the 3GS and the 4. The only difference is that the 4 was a complete redesign which made it seem like it was radically different. All it had was upgraded internal specs, front facing camera, retina display, led flash, and gyro. This has upgraded internal specs, highly improved camera, world phone, 1080p video recording, siri. From the 3G to 3GS there was a compas, video recording, upgraded internal specs, etc. So the "feature" jump isn't any different between iPhone devices. If your phone is still working and you are happy, then you don't need an upgrade. Just be prepared to compromise some features. For example, I had an iPhone 3G which I just upgraded to a 4S. My 3G was maxed out at iOS 4.1. So don't assume your 3GS will receive all features and all updates to iOS 5. The real question you have to access yourself is do you want a new phone now or do you want to wait a year give or take a month or two for a even newer phone. Keep in mind that when you buy that phone it will be only about a year until the NEXT iPhone comes out so if you keep waiting you'll never get a phone. I hope this information helps you in your decision.

Hi - trying to decide between the 6750M 512MB card vs. 6770M 1GB card

Hi - I'm trying to decide whether to get the 512MB video card or the 1GB video card in the Macbook pro. The only graphics intensive programs I will use on the Macbook pro will be Photoshop and Lightroom. Also, would the answer change if I was video editing in the future (but more along the lines of amateur video editing than anything semi-professional)?

It will run it, but keep in mind what I told you: processor is more important than RAM or GPU for those applications. Also, bear in mind: processor cannot be upgraded, what ever you purchase is what you're stuck with. So, think careful here, especially since you intend to do video editing...very processor intensive.

Comparing the iPhone 3G with my current Japanese iPhone (trying to decide)

I'm trying to decide whether or not to switch to an iPhone 3G now that it has been released here in Japan. I currently use an AU cell phone by Casio. I would have to switch to Softbank, but you can keep your old phone number now, so that's no problem.
The iPhone certainly has it's attractions. It also has it's drawbacks compared to phones here. I think it adds up differently for different people depending on which features they think are important. Here is how I have been currently thinking about it. Please tell me if I got any of the iPhone features wrong!
iPhone = how I rank the iPhone feature on a 0-10 scale
current = how I rank my current Japanese cell phone on a 0-10 scale
weight = how important I think the feature is on a 0-10 scale
(1) Web Surfing - iPhone 10 / current 3 / weight 10
The iPhone's browser is clearly the best cell phone web browser anywhere.
(2) Camera Still - iPhone 3 / current 5 / weight 8
My current cell phone's quality has never been pleasing, and is the same 2 megapixel resolution of the iPhone. But it does have a flash and an image stabilizer, neither of which the iPhone has.
(3) Camera Video - iPhone 0 / current 6 / weight 8
It really is convenient to be able to shoot videos with your cell phone these days. The iPhone may be the ONLY cell phone in the world these days without that feature, which is very inexplicable. This might be the show-stopper for me. True, I usually shoot videos with my regular camera. In fact, I usually shoot still photos with my regular camera. Still, it is a very useful feature to have.
(4) Electronic Wallet - iPhone 0 / current 10 / weight 5
It really is convenient to just wave your cell phone at the train wicket, or at the convenience store, or vending machine and not fuss with cash. But the fact of the matter is there is also a card version of the e-money which I also have, so I can do the same thing by waving my unopened wallet at the same devices. So I could live without this feature. Recharging the e-money by cell phone is convenient though.
(5) Cut and Paste - iPhone 0 / current phone 5 / weight 3
I don't often use the feature, but it is relatively easy on my current phone to mark the begin and end of a section of text and then use copy/cut/paste. I can't believe the iPhone still doesn't have something as basic as that. It probably isn't a show stopper, but it does give me pause.
(6) Digital TV receiver - iPhone 0 / current phone 9 / weight 1
My Japanese friend really wants a new phone with a digital TV receiver so he can watch it on the trains to and from work. On the other hand, this isn't a show-stopper for me because I very rarely use the TV feature.
(7) Replaceable battery pack - iPhone 0 / current phone 10 / weight 2
Most Japanese seem to be very taken aback that you can't remove and change the battery pack yourself and switch to a spare when out for a long day. That sort of bothers me too, but the fact of the matter is I've never done that with any of my previous phones, so don't think I would worry about it. I am guessing there are portable rechargers available that run on batteries, right? I've used those before.
(8) Applications - iPhone 10 / current phone 2 / weight 10
The iPhone clearly has all the other cell phones beat in terms of applications. I've always been very disappointed with the lack of interesting apps available for my Japanese cell phones. I am assuming there is a PDF viewer available?
(9) Email - iPhone 7 / current phone 7 / weight 10
I haven't used the iPhone email app so I am just guessing. I assume you can have file attachments, right? Like send photos via email? Can you have multiple attachments in one email? iPhone email isn't "push" yet, right? You have to poll for new messages. My current phone uses push technology, like a Blackberry does, so it receives email automatically as soon as it is sent.
(10) Keyboard - iPhone ? / current phone ? / weight 10
I still can't figure out which is easier to use. My current cell phone is easy to input in Japanese, but hard to input in English! I suspect that the iPhone is the opposite - probably easier to input in English because of the full kb, but more difficult in Japanese. Also the lack of there being buttons or tactile feedback might make it harder to user.
(11) Display - iPhone 8 / current phone 6 / weight 10
The iPhone's display is larger and brighter. On the other hand, my current phone's display has a higher resolution.
(12) Music features - iPhone 10 / current phone 2 / weight 7
Having a built-in iPod is very nice. My current phone has the AU music system built in but it doesn't work well with Macs. A Windows person might find it more useful.
I also read about a "yellow-ish tint" problem with the new iPhones. That's something I wouldn't want to get into. Another headache with Apple over some quality problem, like I had with my iPod nano 3G that I ended up getting a refund for. I don't think I could take that right now. Has that issue been resolved?
Thanks!

(3) Apple didn`t include video support because of the quality of the 2 MP camera, they are known as being the best in video and photography, so enabling video would result in a poor quality, Apple`s approach on this was all or nothing.
(9) It supports loads of attachments such as PDF, DOC, images, that can be saved to the phone, or attached right after making them from the Camera Roll, and actually it supports push email, via the "Mobile Me" service from Apple (.Mac). This requires a anual payment, but it`s not that expensive, considering that you can use it with PC`s, Macs, and your phone.
(10) The iPhones keyboard is the best I`ve ever used, i takes about a week to write fast, and about 2 to be a pro, and I mean really fast :))
PS: What`s your current phone ?

Upgrading from CS3 to CS5 issues

I work at a medium size College on a pretty small team, 1 editor/writer, 1 communications coordinator, and 1 designer (me). I've been using InDesign (ID) for 5 years now and we added on the InCopy (IC) workflow a few years ago with CS3 (both of us then had CS3). The editor and I just recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and we've hit a snag. I opened a project, the Academic Catalog in fact, in CS5 that we began in CS3 which we were almost finished with and when I tried to check out a story I got this error.
"This story needs to be converted to "InCopy Document" format in order to edit it."
The editor got the same message in IC. So I thought maybe files created by CS3 for IC don't work with CS5 so I decided to try to unlink the INCX files in ID and relink. Sure enough it created a new ICML file which the editor was able to open, edit, and save in IC. And I thought I had my problem solved until I opened the file in ID; when I tried to update the linked file ID crashed. I've tried unsuccessfully to get the updated stories from IC to update in ID w/o crashing. I've restarted the computer; it is Windows afterall. I've run 'Updates' in both our programs, and it says there are none. I've tried tossing the ID and ICML file; fortuanalty I was smart enough to do all this with a copy of the orginal CS3 file. I followed all my above steps a second time and it's still crashing. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a known issue like this?
btw, we're both running Windows Vista and both in CS5 (7.0).

AM
I might just have to go back to CS3 to finish this project up—fortunatly I foresaw an issue like this and kept CS3 installed. That will most likely solve the problem with this project, provided it too does not crash. And that is my concern for future 'new' projects in CS5, are those going to crash too? I think I'll do some testing with my editor.
Bob,
What type of additional info would help?
Thanks,
Colleen

CS3 to CS5 - can't install upgrade

I'm trying to install my PS CS5 Extended upgrade on my desktop running Vista. I now have CS3 Extended on the machine and activated. When I try to install the CS5 upgrade, I first get a message that no qualifying product is found on my machine. As prompted, I then enter my serial number (for CS3), but then I'm told that the serial number isn't for a qualifying program. I copied the serial number directly from my Adobe list of registrations and pasted it in, so I know I've entered my CS3 serial number correctly.
Here's more info: When I'm prompted for the qualifying product serial number, I choose "CS3" since there is no entry for "CS3 Extended".
Thanks for your help!

This may be a red flag that CS3 or CS5 may not be the extended version, so you have a mismatch.
As I understand it the s/n determines whether it is installed as a regular or extended version.

Swf previews in browser and doesn't work on server after upgrade from cs3 to cs5

     I have upgraded from CS3 to CS5. My site uses a template created in dreamweaver 8. When I edit a page and embed a .swf file created in flash cs5, it doesn't work on my server, but works on my computer when I 'test in browser'. I have uploaded all the files in the 'scripts' directory. I am streaming video. I have tried using both actionscript 2.0 and 3.0 and streaming .flv and .f4v. None work.
I have a big site and do not wan't to redo my template unless I absolutely have to.

It's not 100% clear from your post, but you should be aware that CS5 plugins should not work in CS5.5. Because of a CS5.5 bug, CS5 plugins will load in InDesign 7.5.0, but that is fixed in 7.5.1 so they will not load.
You should lean a bit harder on Virginia Systems. They should be able to tell you how to get them the stack trace from the crash which they should be able to look at and tell you which plugin (if any) is responsible for the crash. I could do it for Mac OS X but I don't know how under Windows. You could start by looking at the Event Viewer, though. That may have some helpful information about the crashes and the faulting module.

Trying to decide whether to upgrade CS3 to CS5
