Will a CS4 file work in CS3?

I have a school assignment and I only have CS4 at home, where as in school CS3 is available. If I save the file as CS3, will it work perfectly fine at school?

yes.

Editing Flash CS4 files in Flash CS3

Looking to upgrade our main multimedia production machine from CS3 to CS4, but we probably won't upgrade all the other machines just yet.
Main question: If you work on a Flash file in CS4, can you work on it in CS3 and save it, or will some of the functionality be lost in doing so? Or is a matter of just having to save it in a certain way to make sure it works?
Also, is there any issue with importing CS3 Illustrator, Flash or any other kind of files into After Effects CS4?
Thanks!
Matt

cs4 can save files for cs3 so, it "..is a matter of just having to save it in a certain way..".
you could lose some functionality if you used any flash player 10 capabilites that aren't in fp 9. to prevent that you would always publish for fp 9 in your cs4 file to ensure you could use the file in cs3.
i can't see any problems with importing non-flash cs4 files into flash cs3.

Saving Photoshop CS4 file for Photoshop CS3

Hello
How should I save a Photoshop CS4 file so that a client running Photoshop CS3 can open it? In other words is Photoshop CS4 backwards compatible with Photoshop CS3?
Marlene

Just save it. but keep in mind that any CS4 features that you may have used will not be available in CS3.
Always save with maximize compatibility on.

If I update to Lion from 10.6.8, will Adobe CS4 "upgrade" work?????

I have Adobe CS4 from an "upgrade". Will these adobe programs work if I upgrade to Lion? Please, need an answer ASAP, so I know whether to make my next computer a Mac or a PC!!!! It is absolutely ridiculous that my friend, who has at least 8 PC computers ( including business computers) is able to use all features of icloud using Win7(which is 16 months old), and I cannot use it on my "Apple" antique using 10.6.8(which is only 9 months old) (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) for the same purpose.
I have never even had a PC, always an Apple product. Now I get slapped in the face, HARD. Apple just killed me for EVER buying another Apple computer, if I am unable to use ICloud with my computers which WILL run my adobe products. I also have an IMac Intel Core duo 3.06, two IPads and a new Iphone. and now I am done with Apple products I guess, if I have to update to Lion to use ICloud with a computer. Especially if Lion doesn't support my current expensive suite of CS4(UPGRADE), and other Apps. What on earth is Apple trying to do, phase out of computers totally? Have a relative who works for Apple, and no one can figure out why the company is so favoring the PC people. The only thing I can come up with is that Win7 is a far superior program to OS10.6.8, and is likely vastly superior to the current joke of "Lion", and the upcoming "Mountain Lion". At least Snow Leopards have some dignity, and honesty in their "live" form. "Lion" is aptly named after an animal widely known for killing and eating cubs of its own species. Mountain Lions are sneaky, creepy stalkers, who attack suddenly without notice, and kill animals off efficiently and quickly. Male Mt.Lions also are known to kill the young of their own species, even their own cubs. I guess these new OS's are aptly named, as they certainly are killing off those who have been faithful to Apple for so long.
I can buy a PC running Win 7, with the speed, programs, etc., that I need, for far less than a new, comparable Mac, which it seems will require me to purchase all new expensive Apps. (Adobe CS+), etc.
Why is Apple unable to either 1) offer its previously totally faithful adherants the ability to use its ICloud service using 10.6.8, which only came out 9 months ago (while Win 7 and Vista users can use the service easily), or at least make its new OS, work with expensive Apps owned by people, which work on 10.6.8, but will not work, so I hear, on "Lion" (and presumably not on "Mountain Lion" either).   Apple is/has turned into a predator of the worst sort, without a single thought or care about previously faithful customers.   WHY?
Also, off my wagon and back to my question; will an "UPGRADE" of Adobe CS4 work with the latest updated "Lion"? Thanks!

I went to that page. Basically, it didn't specifically answer my question, or I am too dense to find the answer. I understand that there are a few problems with Photoshop, which is the main use (of mine). I could live with what it says. I also found that there were problems with CS4, and using the brush tool, when I updated to 10.6.8. Found a fix to that by updating my Quicktime. Why that works, I have no idea. I am not a computer whiz, in fact at the other end of the spector, but read on a discussion that this updating of Quicktime worked, so tried it, and it did!
This community is a life saver for me. I live in rural Wyoming (I guess all of Wyoming is rural.....) and no one knows anything about Macs. All my problems have been solved by you great people! And I thank you !
My present concern is: I read somewhere else, that if my version of Photoshop, which is CS4, was purchased as an "upgrade", which it was, then maybe it will not upload to "Lion", as maybe the disk (upgrade), I have, may use Rosetta, which is NOT included in "Lion".   What I have read is that I would have to have a "new" (not an upgrade) version of CS4 in order for it to work with "Lion".   Anyone out there know the answer???? Photoshop users?????
Geniuses???? If you know, please help me out here. I love my Macs, but really am irritated that the friends I have tried to talk into buying Mac computers, but didn't, now can enjoy all the advantages of ICloud, with an older version of their computer program (Win 7 OR(!!!) VISTA, and I cannot !!!! Here I sit, with my 2 beloved Macs, both fairly new, 2 IPads, a new IPhone, and I am the one that cannot use ICloud?????? Was it in fact made for PC people, who have become Apple consumers through iPhone and iPad, and not made for the faithful, longtime Apple consumers???? HELP!!!!

Mac | Indesign CS4 files seen as CS3 and converted

Hello, I am experiencing something weird today.
My ID CS4 files created with a 10.5.8 Mac started being seen as they were CS3 files, I mean as soon as I try to open them, they are being converted until I save them again.
From there on, ID can open those files (re-saved) correctly without converting them again.
I am afraid ID might change something when "converting" those files. Have you ever seen something like this?
many thanks for your help,
Ciao
Carlo

Hello, no, I did not install anything.
It is already ID 6.04.
I was wondering if it could be something at OS level instead.
Thank you
Carlo

Will a CS4 upgrade work with educational license version of CS3?

I would like to upgrade to CS4 but my version of CS3 is an educational license. I don't want to pay for an upgrade if it will not work with an educational license. Will I run into problems?

I just installed it and ran it fine. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Make sure it is a clean install from a fresh "boot". I ran into problems the first time when I tried to install it right after I installed another program. I simply uninstalled it.....which took a long long time, but after it was removed and I rebooted, everything went fine.

Cs4 files compatible with cs3?

I'm the graphic designer, others do PHP, ASP, etc. If I
upgrade to CS4, will my associates have difficulty working with my
sites and/or files if they stay with CS3?
Thanks,
Karen

I don't think so. It would be prudent to backup your site
definitions, and
any custom snippets, but other than that, I think it's a
smooth upgrade.

Do CS4 swatches work in CS3?

Easy question for y'all today! I'm making some pattern swatches in CS4 and giving them to artists using CS3. Do I have to save it as a CS3, or because it's not technically an Illustrator file (well, technically it is, but you know what I mean), rather a swatch palette, will it matter that it was created in CS4?
Thanks

I don’t know what you mean. The swatch file is a full-on, sho-nit, dot-ay-eye Illustrator file. Save as CS3.

Will iTunes Plus files work in FCP?

Does anyone know if new iTunes Plus files will work in Final Cut Pro now that digital rights management (DRM) has been removed? Usually when I use AAC files in FCPX the files are mute.

Compressed audio files should be converted to AIFF 48k.

Will Photoshop CS4 extended work on XP pro x64?

Heya, I'm on the verge of purchasing Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended but I can't seem to find any relevant information stating if it works on Windows XP professional x64, any ideas?
Regards
Paul

I have set up installations at clients running XP x64. I haven't had one fail yet. If you want the advanced video card abilities you may run into an issue. Adobe has thoughtfully provided Registry scripts to hack some Video Cards. I often have to use them. Just be aware that Adobe doesn't Officially support XP x64, if that's a concern to you.
But I do like Vista x64 better for CS4, now that SP2 is out.

Can I use Fireworks CS4 with Photoshop Extended CS3?

I plan to upgrade to the Master Collection later this year, if business keeps going as well as it has, but I need a feature of FW now, namely the more-excellent PNG-8 saving capabilities of FW, based on what I've read on the web. Will I need to backsave my FW4 files to make them work in CS3? I'm on an Intel Mac Pro, running Leopard.

Gosh, all I want to know is if FW CS4 files work well in DW CS3. On another forum, the answer is yes.
I do all my coding by hand, and will be taking a FW class on IWA for a particular certification. I don't want to make a Flash movie (.swf) right now. Yes, I know I could create a single-framed .swf and export it as a PNG, but that's an awful lot of work, and I hear FW does it much faster. I just want to make a certain kind of PNG that works correctly in IE6 that apparently can only be made with FW. IE6 is the only browser where the PNG with alpha transparency does not work correctly, and the background ends up gray instead of transparent. From what I've read, I can make an PNG-8 in FW with alpha transparency that will work correctly in IE6. Hopefully.
I'm trying to reproduce an image (not the exact image, but using the same principles) from a CSS Zen Garden site treatment, and I need the bottom, detailed image to be opaque and the area over the image to be transparent, not gray, since text will be scrolling under it. The bottom art will be fixed to the bottom and positioned absolutely and will have a ragged upper edge with a transparent backgropund. I know it can be done, because I've seen it, and I've seen the CSS code. My question has to do with actually creating the PNG, which I know will work in all the other browsers on both platforms. I need to make something IE6-friendly.
Thank you, though for trying to help.

Working on CS3 files using CS4; resaving backwards to CS3.

Currently I am working with CS3. This file needs to be updated by a colleague using only CS4. Pls advise what is the best methods/steps/ precautions she must take ensure that no links are lost etc; and how she should resave backwards to CS 3. Thanks

All that needs to happen is that she needs to export the file to InDesign interchage format (inx) so you can open it. If she is editing any links at all she should also package it up afterwards and you should rename your links folder to force Indesign to use the new folder.
Be aware that going from version to version like this can cause problems so back up your files. Also text will likely reflow between the versions. It's not recommended to do this all the time for these reasons.

Opening CS4 fIles on a second monitor, the way it worked in CS3.

This drove me nuts for well over a year. I guess this is a "tip" of sorts for dual monitor users who recently switched from CS3 to CS4 and expect files to open on the 2nd monitor.
With the advent of CS4, the ability to automatically open a few dozen files across my 2nd monitor became impossible unless the Application Frame was set to cover the 2nd monitor with its opaque grey background. What I missed was the ability to have a totally unencumbered view of the 2nd monitor's desktop..the way it worked in CS3 and earlier….and most importantly: to have anything I opened, appear on the 2nd monitor.
Without the Application Frame active and positioned to cover my 2nd monitor, loading files would always appear under the Palettes on my 1st (smaller) monitor. (It's the way I work. 30" 2nd monitor on my left and main 24" in front of the keyboard).
A couple of days ago, I accidentally clicked the yellow "Hide" button in the corner of the Application Frame. As expected, it hid the Application Frame into the Dock and left the window free.
Here's the unexpected thing: Loading a file (or multiple files) continue to tile diagonally down the 2nd monitor, the way they do when the Application Frame was visible.
It's almost perfect…the tiling spacing is still larger than it was in CS3 and the tiling starts where the bottom of the Application Frame's menu bar was positioned before it was hidden. But it's as close to CS3 dual monitor behavior workaround as I've found.
It'd sure be nice if Adobe implemented a "Hide Application Frame" View Menu item in CS5.

The screen dimensions are "right," but I don't want it to use up any more space on-screen than is in the window.
