Upgrading to Photoshop CS3 problems

I downloaded a trial copy of CS3 several months ago and decided to purhcase it online to upgrade from CS2. I downloaded the file, received my serial numbers etc... but when I try to run set up, it says I cant install CS3 because it conflicts with CS3. I realize I need to uninstall the trial version but how. I thought I had placed it in the trash and emptied it but there is something I am not doing. Please help, I am new to Mac.

Hi Dane,
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Always a good idea to, at the very least, scan the ReadMe file that's included with every application. I quote (emphasis is mine):
Uninstall your software
Before you uninstall, close all applications currently running on your system—including other Adobe applications, Microsoft Office applications, and browser windows.
Do one of the following:
In Windows XP, open the Windows Control Panel and double-click Add or Remove Programs. Select the product that you want to uninstall, click Change/Remove, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
In Windows Vista, open the Windows Control Panel and double-click Programs and Features. Select the product that you want to uninstall, click Uninstall/Change, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
*IMPORTANT: Mac OS has new uninstall functionality. DO NOT drag applications to the trash to uninstall them. To safely uninstall on Mac OS X, double-click the product installer in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers. Authenticate as an administrator, then select Remove Components and follow the on-screen instructions.*

  • 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 …

  • Upgrading from Photoshop CS3 to CS6

    I am upgrading photoshop CS3 to CS6 on Windows 7.
    I have downloaded two files: Photoshop 13_LS16.exe and Photoshop_LS167z.
    However, it has not installed properly.
    I can only open CS6 if I click on the LS167z file with (open with PS).
    And although it opens I get the message: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
    CS3 is still as it was.

    Many thanks
    That makes everything clear.
    Also thanks for the deletes!

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS6?

    Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS6?

    I think so, but only via the Creative Cloud, and with a one year commitment. And that upgrade may be only for suites, not individual apps. I didn't look that closely. See the page here:

  • Upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS4 - PNG alpha lost???

    I use Photoshop for all of my graphics in Final Cut Pro.  I have been using Photoshop CS3 for a long time, creating .png titles with alpha's with no problem.  I just upgraded to Photoshop CS4 and now my .png files don't have alpha channels.  What happened and how do I fix it?
    Thanks,
    John

    I am creating High Def Graphics (1920x1080) for use within Final Cut Pro.  I am talking about the transparency.  What do you mean by a swf?  Are you talking Flash?  I'm not sure that would work.  Sorry for the confusion.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 - Problem with Trial

    I recently downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 directly from Adobe as it is the latest version my Mac supports. Upon start up, I am greeted with two options: a) I have a serial number for this product. and b) I want to try Adobe Photoshop CS3 free for 30 days. Seeing how I am simply looking to evaluate and have not purchased said product, I selected option b.
    However, upon clicking "Next >" I am greeted by an error. "Problem with Trial" I am left with nothing but wasted time. This is the first time I have ever installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 so I do not understand why it will only allow access with a serial number. Any help to allow me to try this software is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Could the trial have a time bomb in it that prevents use after several years? There's not much of a need for Adobe to allow trials to run for so long after the product's life cycle has concluded.

  • Lightroom 1.1 - Adobe Camera RAW 4.1 (Bridge, Photoshop CS3) problem

    Dear all,
    I am having some problems with the appearance of files developed in adobe lightroom 1.1 or in adobe camera raw 4.1 from e.g. bridge or photoshop cs3. When developing in lightroom the images look great, however when using acr 4.1 and the same xmp sidecar settings imported from lightroom, the image in acr looks very pale in comparison. For example when using the export into photoshop option in Lightroom, the image in PS3 looks very pale to the one in lightroom. The same problem persists with developing using ACR 4.1 from bridge. I have turned autotoning in ACR off. Also in the color management of PS CS3, the desaturate checkbox is UNchecked.
    I am using an icc profile for my 30" cinema display, calibrated with colory eyes pro and a spyder2.
    Has anybody had similar problems with ACR 4.1 or am I just doing something horribly simple wrong?
    Thanks for your help!
    Immanuel

    Thomas,
    thanks for your reply. In Mac OS X Preview the images look all good and very much like what I see in Lightroom. In any case not as pale or like with a slight white overcast to what I see when using ACR 4.1 from Bridge or Photoshop CS3. In PS color settings, preserving embedded profiles is checked. Yes, it seems to me as well that this is some color management issue. The 30" Cinema display was calibrated using Color Eyes Pro and Spyder2 to Gamma 2.2 and 6500 temp. However, even when reverting to the standard Apple color profile for the monitor, the problem persists.
    No luck so far...

  • Another "Edit In Photoshop CS3" Problem?

    I've scanned other threads and although I found similar entries, I couldn't find an answer to the following:
    When (in LR2.0 and LR2.1) I "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3" (by right clicking), the selected image correctly opens up in CS3. I can then edit the image but when I close it down and save it does not get re-imported into LR. Instead the edited image is saved in the same folder as the original and I have to manually reimport into LR.
    Obviously LR1.x didn't have this problem as it created the duplicate prior to CS3 opening. However, I don't know if this problem I'm seeing is "as designed" in LR2 or whether it is a known bug, or if there is a setting I need to change in my installation.
    If my PC/config has any bearing, I'm running Vista-64, AMD Phenom, 8GB RAM.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Nick,
    I've tried all the things suggested on http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404907. I actually went further than all this - I wiped the system drive clean and did a clean install of vista, lightroom and photoshop!
    However, I think you have probably worked out what is happening. I too am on a multi-drive setup with my catalog/files on a separate drive to my system drive. And exactly the same thing appears to be happening to me. The edited image file (on exit from PShop) is being saved on the drive the original image is stored (same directory as you would expect), however I *think* lightroom is actually creating "dummy" (blank) files on the system drive (where lightroom is installed).
    I say *think* because I can't check it now because my catalogue has just become corrupted. Luckily before it crashed I noticed that there were files shown on my C drive and I know for a fact I have not put any there. Unfortunately LRoom now thinks my main catalog is open by another application, even after a couple of reboots, so I can no longer get back in?!.
    I'll try and sort the catalog out tomorrow (or recreate a new one) and confirm your suspicion. I'm sure you're right - Lroom is getting confused and assumes the edited files are on the same drive as it is installed!! ...

  • Upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs5 photoshop

    Thank you,

    Contact Adobe Support.   The Software disk may not need to be returned.  You might be able to simply purchase the proper license and perhaps pay the difference in cost -- they can tell you the options.  I believe that there is an upgrade path from academic software to a regular license.

  • Upgrade Educational  Photoshop Cs3 Extended

    Hi everybody. I'm an italian student and two years ago I bought a license for Adobe Photoshop Cs3 Extended, the educational version.
    I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade my version of Adobe Photoshop Cs3 to the educational version of Adobe Photoshop Cs5 Extended.
    Many thanks,
    Daniele Nazzari

    I was wondering that myself. I don't think you can; at least I can't find the option in the education store. I think you will need to buy the new version, which as far as I can see is priced for students at exactly the price the upgrade would be for non educational users. So if you are in education you pay the normal upgrade price, but for the whole programme. I suppose if they offered the upgrade at the educational discount they would be giving it away for next to nothing.

  • Upgrade to Photoshop CS3

    According to [this website|http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLear nMore=TM717LL/A], the upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS3 requires a serial number. Unfortunately I have not used my version of Photoshop CS in a couple years and I have lost all documentation (the serial number and who it was registered too) and the box. But I opened it today and on the About section and there was two lines of words (1 and 2) and then what looked like a serial number:
    So can you verify the long jumble of numbers is in fact my serial number? If it is not, how can I obtain it (I lost my box)? And also can you identify what 1 and 2 are?
    Thanks so much in advance for your help!
    -thealexness

    *"So can you verify the long jumble of numbers is in fact my serial number?"*
    Yes it is a serial number, but not the complete serial number. This is done for security purposes.
    *"how can I obtain it"*
    Call Adobe. Or, if anyone knows how you maybe be able to extract the complete number you'd find them on Adobe's own discussion forum, as Photoshop is not an Apple product, and your question is not anything Mac related.
    http://www.adobeforums.com
    *"And also can you identify what 1 and 2 are?"*
    Well, no, because you blurred it out. But it's most likely the name of person and the company it's registered to
    Why don't you just install CS3 and point it to your version of CS when it asks for it or a serial number?

  • IPhoto and Photoshop CS3 Problem

    I have been downloading my pictures into iPhoto and editing them in Photoshop(CS3) now. As long as I was shooting jpeg, I would just hit Save in Photoshop and the edited picture would show up in my iPhoto application, in in "modified" in iPhoto library.
    Since I got Photoshop CS3, I have been shooting a lot more RAW. RAW images, saved TIFFS, don't seem to get saved to iPhoto application, just the Pictures/iPhoto Library folder. And I am noticing that edited pictures don't automatically go into modified, but stay in the originals file.
    I am also noticing that even jpegs do not automatically get saved to the iPhoto application. They too open up the save to window for Pictures/iPhoto Library. All this since CS3.
    So only the original files downloaded from my CF card are in iPhoto. I feel that something is wrong here. I should be able to have my edited files show up in my iPhoto application without re-importing them.
    I tried a trial of Aperture, but my DT graphics card and processor can't handle the application. But that is not the point. What has happened that iPhoto has become essentially useless to view my modified photos?

    Birgit
    This may be the source of the issue.
    Bridge is NOT Photoshop, but an alternative file organiser. So when you set Bridge as an external editor you're really sending the pics to another organiser, not an editor. Presumably from there they go to Photoshop and are then saved back... to Bridge, not iPhoto.
    Try setting PS as the editor not Bridge and see does that make a difference,
    Also, when you send pics to an external editor, only a maximum of 4 will go. So you can only work in batches of four.

  • Lightroom - edit in Photoshop CS3 problem

    Hi All,
    I'm running Lightroom 2 on a MacPro. When I first installed it all was fine with 'edit in' function, which I had configured to PS CS3 my primary external editor. Later, as a test, I added an additional editor - Photomatix - just as a test more than anything else. I subsequently noticed that when I then tried to edit in CS3, still set as my primary editor, I was no longer shown the 'edit options' window i.e. 'Edit a copy with LR adjustments', 'edit a copy', edit original'. Instead, the original file would open directly in PS with none of my LR adjustments! I have now had to set CS3 also as my additional editor to get around this - when set as additional it shows the prompt.
    Does anyone have any ideas about this behavior and how to reset LR so that it will prompt me again when I try to edit in my primary editor? I'm guessing this must be a bug with the current version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
    Dave

    >Dabow:They are all RAW files that I'm sending. The fact that I also have PS set as my secondary editor and from there it prompts me with the edit options window proves that it's a fault with the primary editor slot.
    The primary editor slot is designed to behave differently than the secondary editor slot. From everything you have said it appears to be acting exactly as designed.
    The primary editor slot, which is always photoshop.exe, is designed to send RAW files directly to Photoshop after applying the develop adjustments made in LR2x. Thomas Knoll said it best in another thread discussing this exact same issue:
    Thomas Knoll, "LR 2.1RC - Still No Dialog Box w/ "Edit in Photoshop CS3" Option" #3, 26 Sep 2008 7:19 am
    When you use the secondary editor slot, even if you select Photoshop.exe, those special hooks built for use with Photoshop.exe will not be used and this is by design. By placing Photoshop.exe into the secondary editor then you guarantee the old, i.e. LR1x, method of accessing an editor is used. That 'old' method activates the options dialog.
    To sum it up:
    *RAW via Primary Editor slot (always Photoshop.exe) = no options dialog.
    *RAW via Secondary Editor slot (even if it's Photoshop.exe) = options dialog.
    *non-RAW via any editor slot = options box
