Why won't Photoshop CS3 in Lion?

Immediately after upgrading to Lion, I'm apparently not allowed to run a very expensive program: Photoshop CS3. This alert claims I'm not connected to the internet but I clearly am. Anyone else seeing this? Is there a free update from Adobe? The Lion Installer did not list this app as being incompatible prior to upgrading my Mac.

My Photoshop CS3 won't open either, but it's telling me PowerPC Applications are no longer supported in Lion.  I can confim with 100% certainty Java is current as of today.  I uninstalled then reinstalled PS3, and it still won't open.
Thoughts?

  • Why won't Photoshop Elements 12 open?

    After being away for 3 months, I attempted to open and use PSE 12 and it does not open.  Today I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would help, but it doesn't.  It appears as though it's going to open, but the little "streaming" just stops.  Your assistance in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated.

    I am not a technician so I can't go too deep in the analysis... I did all I could imagine to do, I would like that somebody from Adobe would take care of this issue finding solution to the problem.

    >Hoping that you get a break through in your troubleshooting. Do not give up. I kept searching and searching for an answer to my Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor not opening while the Elements Organizer 12 would. I have reams of data from October 2013 to April 2014 troubleshooting of the issue. Everything pointed to an activation issue but I could never target the place to fix until my break through came unexpectedly. And, as I found out, the SLStore Folder and SLCache Folder have "something" to do with activation according to the Adobe person who put forth what turned out to be the solution for me. Based on my encounter with this problem, I would say Windows No, Photoshop Elements activation Yes.

  • Why won't photoshop cc run portraiture 2

    why won't photoshop cc run portraiture 2?? Am I doing something wrong?

    Yes, you aren't giving us enough information to help you.
    What version of Photoshop?
    What OS version?
    Why is portraiture2 not working?
    Have you contacted the makers of that plugin?

  • Why won't Photoshop CC run on my laptop I just installed it today

    Why won't Photoshop CC run on my laptop I just installed it today. I signed out on my desktop but the laptop still will not run Photoshop CC. It starts but then closes itself down immediately after starting.

    Well it is the same Win7 that is running on my desktop and yes I have an internet connection and at that time is was hard wired not wireless. I just downloaded and installed the Photoshop and Bridge Apps. The laptop is about 2 yrs old and it is a high end machine and Photoshop6 runs on it just fine. I sure wish someone from Adobe would answer this question as it is beyond frustrating to me that this stuff works so poorly and you can never get a good answer out of them about anything ever.

  • Why won't photoshop elements download for me

    why won't photoshop elements download for me

    clear your adobe.com cookies or
    try a different browser or
    download from prodesigntools.com if you follow all 7 steps:  http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • Help why won't photoshop let me edit my photos anymore?

    Why won't photoshop let me edit my photos I am a photographer and my photos need more editing but photoshop will open the tools but nothing happens with any of the tools!

    Too little information …
    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Help... Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
    Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
    There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
    Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
    Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
    You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
    This will convert your newer 7100 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS3.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

  • Why won't photoshop elements 12 editor launch/open?

    No matter how I try to activate PSE12, through the desktop shortcut, through program files, through old Photoshop works I've saved, it will not start.
    I've tried reinstalling it, but it still won't launch.
    What's strange to me is that Premier Elements, which I also have, works just fine. I can access the organizer through there, see old Photoshop works, but be unable to work on them because the editor won't load at all. No prompt on screen. No 404 ERROR or something like that, just a loading circle that goes away after a few seconds.
    I have Windows 8 and a brand new computer. Why is this happening?

    I have the exact same issue, but nothing on my computer changed!  Abode chat support twice now has refused to help me.  First time the guy cut me off; this time they told me to come here.  Looks like you have the same problem with no answer.  Not a good way to run a company!

  • Why won't photoshop CS6 download camera raw 8.2?

    I am running Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6. I have been getting the error message that I need the camera raw plug-in 8.2 to run CS6 (Canon Eos 5D Mk III). I cannot open raw files directly into Photoshop, and Lightroom is not working to edit file in Photoshop as I have started loading all my photos onto a NAS (which seems now to have been a total waste of time). I hope to get a better Thunderbolt system in the next few months but this was a short term solution to the number of external drives that I had accumulated.
    Back to the problem- the plug-in does not appear when I run updates in CS6, yet I need the plug-in, and I cannot seem to find somewhere to download it independently. This is very frustrating with many files to process. I have just updated to Mavericks as the desktop could not run LR5 (ughhh) this has been a trial.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello
    I have been using Lightroom since it was first created. I am a very experienced Lightroom user, and I just updated to version 5 with my new Canon Eos 5D Mk II (I have used every 5 series camera too).
    THERE IS NO LINK AVAILABLE FOR THIS AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. CS6 SAYS IT IS UP TO DATE, LIGHTROOM SAYS IT IS NOT.
    LIGHTROOM SAYS THAT I NEED THAT FILE. I HAVE BEEN SELECTING ‘IGNORE’ OR RENDER WITH LIGHTROOM ADJUSTMENTS DEPENDING ON THE COMPUTER THAT I AM ON.
    What I don’t understand is why is lightroom saying that i need the plug-in for my camera, CS6 says my software is up to date, and mostly THERE IS NO PLACE WHERE I CAN SIMPLY  DOWNLOAD THE PLUG-IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
    I am mostly annoyed about the last part- there is no place to simply download the plugin- hence I am writing here, and from what I have read online I am not the only person with this complaint. When I get a moment I will try the link to download it, but as I mentioned, why is it not available as there is obviously a glitch here.
    Obviously I am a very frustrated user because the software is not updating and your site does not have the download available so the problem can be simply fixed. I find it a little offensive that you would suggest that I have the problem, and that I don’t know how to use the software, when I am pointing out clearly that there is a software issue here. And trust me, i understand the difference in the options but the fact the plugin does not show up as an update in CS6 (where you say it will be and how it should be installed), is the real issue.

  • Why won't photoshop recognize my raw files?

    I just bought the brand new Canon Rebel T5i and I was so excited but then when I uploaded my raw camera files to my computer and tried to open them up in photoshop, it said that I needed the latest camera raw update but when I go to Help--> Updates, the updates option is greyed out and I can't click on it. How do I update my photoshop to edit my CR2 Raw files?? I am so lost.
    Thank you

    tried to open them up in photoshop
    Which version of Photoshop? Which operating system?
    The answers to your questions lie in the following links.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
    The T5i was first supported in Camera Raw 7.4 which is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and later.

  • Why won't Photoshop use my Wacom preferences?

    OK, so this is going to be a bit of a back story because I think I know what part of the problem is...I just don't know how to fix it.
    I recently downloaded Photoshop CC onto my computer.  I already had a copy of PS CS3 on there.  When it installed, it asked if I wanted to use my settings from that.  Not seeing a problem, I said "yes".  And things were fine.  But I wanted to change the Hotkey settings on my Cintiq for CC to be different from CS3.  When I tried to change them in System Preferences, however, it didn't work.  The settings saved, but they still used the same settings as CS3.  I changed the settings in CS3 and those came over to CC.  So, clearly it is referring to CS3 for preference. So I uninstalled CS3 and removed its settings from System Preferences.  So CC defaults back to the general shortcuts for the Cintiq.  I tried to add it back into the Applications with special keys and it still isn't working. 
    My guess is it is still looking to CS3 for settings, but I don't know what I need to do to get it to stop doing that.  I really just wanted to keep my unique brushes.  Does anyone know how I can remove the connection or even just get this to stop? 
    Thanks!

    Have you set preferences in your Wacom configuration for each version of Photoshop you have installed.  It hard to do when you have several versions of Photoshop installed wnat mant hace the same icon,  I have 6 versions installed.  Wacom configuration need setting and path for each install.
    Even when I edit the saver Preferences and change the short names I can not get all six showinr in the preference panel.????\

  • Why won't Photoshop CS5 let me upload pictures?

    You need to use proper terminology or no one will be able to help you.
    Opening an image into Photoshop is not "uploading".  The term "uploading" implies copying something from one computer to another, more powerful one, such as a server.  And there is no "Browse" button in Photoshop CS5 as far as I know.
    Perhaps more proper/accurate terminology (assuming I've derived what you are trying to do correctly) would be:
    You want to open an image on your hard drive into the Photoshop application as a document so that you can edit it.
    Now you need to describe exactly how you are trying to do that, and what's not working as you expect it to (including a description of what you expect).
    Are you dragging images into Photoshop, for example?  From where?  An Explorer Window?  Bridge?  If so, what folder are you pointed to?
    Perhaps capturing your screen right where you're seeing the problem, saving it as a JPEG, and posting it here would be the most direct way to answer all these questions.
