Type Tool in Photoshop CS3 Extended

Hi!
I just recieved my copy of Design Premium CS3 package from Adobe. I noticed that when I activate the Type Tool, Photoshop crashes or uses a long time to activate the tool.
I got this problem on the BETA version and thuoght it was a bug that would be fixed in the final.
Is this a bug or is it just my mac?
Got a macbook (Intel Core Duo 2Ghz).
EDIT: This is only first time I activate the type tool everytime I start Photoshop

I too am having same problem with Photoshop CS3 crashing every time I select the type tool on PowerBook G4 1GHz 1Gb RAM w/ 10.4.10. I have cleaned font cache, checked for font corruption, repaired permissions, tried other user accounts (including root), blah blah blah. CS2 version worked fine with type on same day that I removed it (following Adobe removal instructions to the letter) and installing CS3 Premium default. Fonts are all default install for Tiger and I haven't "installed" any others. I use Suitcase Fusion and everything is patched up to the hilt. I am in charge of I.T. at a large group of companies and have well over a decade of previous experience managing various prepress entities. I understand the urge to blame user error, unfortunately this time I am the user. We have 10 CS3 users here using both PPC & Intel, as well as Winblows (not a typo). For those condescending posters, please READ what these users are saying. There is an actual problem here. Besides, user shouldn't have to wear a propellor hat, you do a default install of Tiger and CS3, you ought to be able to set a line of type, period. Especially at these prices. I am getting ready to go deep on this one, if I figure out anything worthy of posting, I will holler back.

About Using Magnetic Lasso Tool In Photoshop CS3 Extended

Hi All
I seem to be having a problem using the Magnetic Lasso Tool In Photoshop CS3 Extended as when I get half way around an egales beak zoomed in at 66.67% and start to single click around the tight corners the photo is covered over with a white background and the palettes to the right of the Photo e.g. layers, channels, paths becomes white to and all you can see is the paths that the Magnetic Lasso Tool has made around the beak until you click any key on the keyboard but the annoying thing about doing that is that the path automatically becomes selected there for I am unable to draw the paths around the rest of the beak does anyone know of a patch of some kind that will correct this error?
Many Thanks For Reading This And May Be Replying To it.
All The Best. Regards,
Oliver
P.S I have downloaded and installed all of the updates for all Adobe and Adobe CS3 Software.

Oliver,
We have the same exact issue here with the Polygonal Lasso tool. Get anywhere from 20-80% around an object and it hiccups once and then locks up for a moment causing you to loose whatever you've been selecting.
Symptoms include toolbars and palettes turning white and screen freezing for a moment.
Is there an official word on this from Adobe? Or better yet, a solution?
Thanks,
George

Photoshop CS3 Extended "Not Responding" after selecting horizontal type tool.

Hello,
When I start my PhotoShop CS3 Extended v10.0 and load up a jpg and
then zoom in and go select the horizontal type tool and click on my
jpg, PS just freezes and then I click the main screen and then it
tells me infinetly that it has "Stop Responding"
I am running Win XP Pro SP2 (2600) 2GB DDR, ample HD space, Intel Core
Duo processor 1.66GHz.
Can some one tell me whats going on?

I have deleted the pref file vie the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod.
It still won't load up.
How did I get to the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod?
Good question..... I right clicked the .exe icon and selected
Run as , Current User and --> Unchecked <-- "Protect computer and data
from unauthorized program activity"
And SP started up with no problems.
BTW I wasn't being sarcastic with my last post as I see you used
all Caps in your reply which on the internet is considerd yelling.
If I had something sarcastic to say i would put in quotes "said with
a sarcastic tone", but i did not. I was mearly implying what the words
ment. I say what I mean and I mean what I say, period. Thanks for your help BTW and for now that problem still remains when clicking
the .exe file. Nothing has changed other then I can start PS when
following the directions I have stated here in this reply.
What are your opinions on this?
I would love to hear your thoughts.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended on Windows XP Professional

Topic: Selecting
I have been using Photoshop Elements 4 until I just purchased Photoshop CS3 Extended. In Photoshop Elements 4 there is a selection brush, enabling you to make pixel by pixel selection (if desired). There seems to be NO counterpart in CS3 - - which seems impossible for so powerful a program. In that most of my work involves selecting very precise points of 1 or 2 pixels, how can this be done?
Please help.
Thank you

Dave Milbut:
Thanks so much for responding . . but, unfortunately does NOT work again! I did exactly as you suggested in that I made a selection fir so that I could get a quick mask. When I double-clicked on quick mask in the tools pallet, NO options appear that say "Paint on selections" nor "paint on mask". The options is get are "Color indicates Mask Area or Selected area" and you have to chose one. The only thing you are actually choosing is whether you want the color to appear on the mask you chose or inversely to appear on the remainder of the object. The "black" brush remains the same and does not change.
If I do not learn how to make minute selections (so that I will be able to act on only tiny tiny areas) I will not be able to use this program after spending a million dollars for it. It looks like Adobe could make something so fundamental (available in Elements) available here.
Could you help me further . . . PLEASE !
Thank you.

Problem Reading Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended In Windows

I have Windows 7 and Photoshop CS3 Extended; can't read .psd file; error says not a supported file type; need to work with layers. When installed, received a Successful message upon installation. A solution to reading .psd files in Windows?

Thanks to both of you for responding. The files I am referring to are loaded to my C drive from ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS3 "CLASSROOM IN A BOOK" tutorial. On the cover, it says "The official training workbook from Adobe Systems". I don't know what to do at this point. I'm ok with Html. Just need photoshop knowledge added and understand usde of .psd files provides a means to work with layering. Any suggestions?

Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup - Windows 7

Hello,
Recently Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes when I launch it on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer. The splash screen appears but then it just stops working (usually on initializing Tools). It then asks to exit or search for help.
I have read several things so far. To fix it I tried:
- disabling the TWAIN plugin
- resetting all tools
- deleting the Photoshop preferences file.
- deleting my printer from the control panel (some others said printer drivers could cause it)
But all of these did not help. Please let me know how I could fix this. It is not nice having a deadline and not being able to guarantee Photoshop will work.

Thank you for your replys!
@Mylenium: I have not recently changed the graphics driver, anyway, this post will contain some more detailed information.
Since the system does not hang (it is only PS) I could take a screenshot of it:
And yeah, the message from the event log was very helpful indeed, I should have looked it up earlier ^^;

I have been using Photoshop CS3 Extended on this Windows 7 computer for about a year or so. It all went fine, but I got a new Wacom tablet (intuos 5 touch) , and I guess that is the problem.

Photoshop CS3 Extended - Fading 1 color into another color

Photoshop CS3 Extended running on Windows XP Professional:
Using a new default size blank page - I want to start at the top with one color - gradually lighten toward the middle then gradually fade into another color (like from violet to light blue).
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thank you,
Carol

Check out the
Gradient Tool
in Help. Once you've got that check out
Layer Masks
in Help.
That should get you going.

Does Photoshop CS3 Extended support Thai fonts?

I am translating some short text in Photoshop to several Asian languages. I noticed just with the Thai language, that I get a series of X's with boxes instead of Thai characters. The characters are fine in other applications, including Flash CS3. Other than taking a screenshot in another app and pasting into Photoshop, does anyone know of a workaround? Should I install a particular Thai font that is supported by Photoshop? I am running Photoshop CS3 Extended on Windows XP. Thanks for any help.

So in my search, the only thing I found was a utility downloadable at CNET http://download.cnet.com/ASK-Square-Free-Version/3000-2316_4-10855142.html
"ASK Square works efficiently with well-known graphic software such as Adobe Photoshop 7, CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4. It enables users to use of all Thai characters. Users can type all Thai characters, even troublesome characters like. This software also corrects excessively high vowels while typing or after typing just by only one click. Further more it can transform illegible font to normal font that happens when changes a texts font, to a readable normal font. If users copy texts from external application such as word processing or spreadsheet software and paste those texts into their graphic software, ASK Square software can correct the wrong-encoded texts automatically.
ASK Square is flexible. It enable user to type Thai non-unicode font on Adobe Photoshop. Version 1.5.0.10 supports Adobe Photoshop CS4."
Funny thing is you can tell their sales pitch was loosely translated. I gave it a try anyway. The instruction PDF was in Thai, their website was in Thai. But I felt brave anyway, seeing as I googled this application title and didn't see anything negative written about it. Then I go to the application icon in the system tray. As you can see from my screenshot, it ain't exactly user-friendly.
Bottom line... it didn't work. Anyone out there have a solution? I've searched everywhere... Am I the only one with this problem?

Can I add a watermark to a video with photoshop CS3 Extended

Can I add a watermark to a video with photoshop CS3 extended or Web Premium 3, and if I can how do I do it?

Import the video as a new video layer (Layer --> Video --> New layer from file), add your watermark as another layer, then export the whole shebang using File --> Export --> Render Video. Be aware though, that there are severe limitations in what formats Photoshop accepts, exports and how they are compressed, so you may wish to check out After Effects or other tools...

Should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 non extended

hi im just wondering should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 NON extended...... would i loose options from my extended version?
also i dont use photoshop cs3 that much, does anyone think its worth me upgrading?
thanks
lee

Good day!
I think I read that with 2013 the upgrade path would be shortened, so you are probably not eligible for upgrading anymore.
Apart from that the benefit of purchasing the current version of Photoshop naturally depends on what you are doing with Photoshop (both in terms of which features you use and how much you use the application overall).
Smart Objects have been improved quite a bit, Puppet Warp is an interesting feature, Configurator allows for the easy creation of custom Panels that can combine Tools, Commands, Actions etc., …
But to judge the programm yourself you could just install the trial – mind you, the trial is Photoshop Extended, so you may want to consult the Reference on which features you would not get with Potoshop Standard.
You might also want to look into Cloud Licensing – or at least »Adobe« wants you to …

Completely remove all traces of Photoshop CS3 Extended

I have recently installed Photoshop CS3 Extended but there was a problem with the serial number on the box. Adobe have issued me a new serial number to use. I uninstalled it all but when i reinstalled it, the original serial number is still there. How do i completely remove all traces of Photoshop CS3 Extended from my computer so that i can reinstall it with my new serial number? This is a full retail version used on a Windows XP system. Many thanks.

don't forget to read the instructions! :)
on that page you'll find this note:
>Start out at Level 2 and advance to Level 3 only if you still have issues installing your CS3 applications. Running this script removes shared components created during the installation of CS3 applications.
>Note: Level 3 is a hidden option and thus is not listed in the main interface. To access Level 3 just type "3"( without quotes) when prompted for the level.

Bridge not functioning in PhotoShop CS3 Extended

I deactivated Photoshop CS3 on a computer I was no longer using and installed it (CS3) another computer. I activiated CS3 on the new computer. However, when trying to use Bridge, I get a message that says that Adobe no longer supports Bridge Home and Bridge does not function on the new computer. Is there anything I can do to get Bridge to function as part of CS3 Extended?

Thanks, that worked.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial

Hi guys, I've recently downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. When I select the trial period for 30 days instead of buying the product, it says that Adobe cannot continue and it's having trouble loading the trial. I reinstalled it and restarted my computer, like it said, and nothing worked. Please help, I cannot afford Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended right now, and I do not support piracy at all.

I've tried to install the program from a different directory, I think my windows installer is crashing every time i try to install it, maybe I find a working hotfix for it.
I followed these steps when i tried to install ps:
http://666kb.com/i/b1qwvm0mq1zs8iekm.jpg
First I downloaded it to C:~~/Downloads (1.)
Then I extracted this file to C:~/Desktop (2.)
Afterwards I got these files (3.)
After clicking on setup.exe this window (4.) appears and disappears right after
