Would Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 3 work on  mavericks?

I have had photoshop CS3 since I was a freshman and college (and haven't really seen a need to update) and use lightroom 3 wich a bought  two years ago. And wanted to know if I need to update them before downloading the FREE mavericks. Right now I am running snow leopard, and I know since lion the file systems have change. And I do not want to be forced to update date to photoshop cc, because I am not to keen on a subscription service.

  • Canon 5D Mark II, Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 2.4

    All,
    I know that this has to have been answered elsewhere, but I have not found what I'm looking for.
    I have purchased a new Canon 5D Mark II camera which will arrive Wednesday.  As far as software on my Mac Pro, I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium, which includes (obviously) Photoshop CS3.  I am also running Lightroom 2.4.  I am under the understanding that in order to open RAW files from the 5D Mark II, you need to have Adobe Camera Raw 5.X, which is not supported by Photoshop CS3.  I also understand that Lightroom 2.4 CAN open the 5D Mark II RAW files.  First off, are both of my statements to this point accurate?  If so, can I use Lightroom to open the RAW files, do whatever adjusting I would like in Lightroom, then export the modified file (in TIFF, for example) to Photoshop CS3, and go on my way?  Or will this not work?
    If the answer is no, what are my options for using the software that I have with my Canon 5D Mark II?  Am I REQUIRED, now, to upgrade to Photoshop CS4?  If so, can I buy the CS4 Upgrade for Design Premium, if my CS3 Design Premium is the Education version?
    Thanks for any help on this...I'm hoping to avoid spending any more money than I need to in software just to be able to process images from my new camera.  I'm sure I could always use the Canon supplied software to open the RAW files, but I'd prefer to do so in the Adobe family of programs.

    cabasner,
    I upgraded to CS4 when I got my 5D2, and I can't stress enough how much better CS4 is. It's worth the upgrade even if you didn't get the 5D2. It's more stable that CS3, and ACR is insanely better (as is the Bridge... that's actually usable now!). ACR in CS4 has Adjustment brushes for Exposure... that's right, touch-up areas in ACR and it's totally non-destructive. Vibrance has been added also. In PS, your Dodge & Burn tools have a totally new algorithm which works so much better it's nuts. You even have a Legacy checkbox to see the difference. With the insane amount of image data in the 5D2, those tools work very well. You also have OpenGL support in CS4 now, which means you can view the image at any percentage and it looks like 25/50/75/100. And since your graphics card is now used, Photoshop CS4 is FASTER. And with the Clone Tool you can see what will be put down on the image inside the tool's circle, BEFORE you press the mouse. Talk about an easy way to line up the edit! Oh, then there's all the Adjustment layers... man, talk about a non-destructive time-saving edit! And the panels now stay off to the side, not covering up the image anymore. There's more, I'm, not even remembering everything. Adobe got PS right with this version. I would spring for CS4 in a New York minute, it's the perfect partner for our 5D2s.

  • Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom print discrepancies

    Hello,
    I am having an issue with printing from Lightroom.  I have a profile for my printer/driver/inkset that I have used successfully with Photoshop.  When I print an image in Lightroom with the "profile manages" using this profile with the same driver, the image is dark.  the exact same image exported from Lightroom to Photoshop prints beautifully with the same driver/paper/inkset.
    I have double and triple-checked my driver and lightroom print settings but cannot find anything that appears out of whack.  I use a saved pre-set to ensure that my printer driver settings are identical each time.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    thank you,
    George Pappas

    Thanks for the additional information, Andre.  Your symptions seem to point to the same underlying cause of the problem that I have experienced even though your particulars are different.
    I have been quiet on this issue becuase I have been involved in a "deep dive" through the problem with Adobe Technical support and by trying to make sense of the other causes/effects/workarounds found by members of the Lightroom and other forums.  For now, I do not have a solution yet, but hope to have more tangible information and a solution to post within a couple of weeks.
    I have been through four tech support interactions with Adobe and one from Canon.  Unfortunately, these calls were less than satisfactory.  While the people on the phone were nice, there very unhelpful and primarily engaged in "pass the buck" behavior by claiming the problem was somewhere else.  The last support call with Adobe lasted 40 minutes with a very nice fellow who gave me USELESS feedback and directed me to a knowledgebase article that had nothing to do with my real problem.
    Let me be clear, I am a 20+ year software industry veteran and understand the complexities of this stuff.  It is obvious that Adobe and Canon cannot put fully qualifed (and expensive) people on the first point-of-contact for support issues.  However, they should have a reasonable escalation procedure that routes a  problem of appropriate complexity to a highly qualifed person after a reasonable number of support attempts are unsuccessful in solving the issue.  So far, this has not happened and is very frustrating to me.
    Here is what I know of the underlying cause of the issue thus far.  It appears to be caused by the interaction between Lightroom, the operating system's color management, and the printer driver.  In essence, each of us are getting prints that are "double" or "triple" color managed even though we are trying to select one color managment workflow for our output.
    Photoshop/InDesign and other adobe applications use their own color management engine called ACE.  Lightroom does things differently and uses the computer's operating system CM functions.  I believe this why my prints continue to look good when printed out of Photoshop yet look lousy (too dark) when printed from Lightroom.  Lightroom is making assumptions when it sends a print data stream to a printer driver that doesn't yield the same result becuase each operating system performs color management tasks somewhat differently and print drivers from Canon/Epson/HP also do not use the operating systems CM functions the same way.  For Mac users, if you add the printing engine architecture change from of Mac O/S 10.4 to Mac O/S 10.5 you throw an additional level of change into the equation which is not helpful.
    So, where does that leave all of us who have this problem?  I believe that for a given print driver/profile/operating system, Adobe will need to provide us with a workaround that will result in quality prints.  To do this means that someone in Adobe who has the knowledge has to put together a specific recipe of options that work for the major printer manufacturers/OS's/printers.  The long run solution will, unfortunately, occur over time as Adobe modifies how Lightroom makes certain assumptions when it sends print data streams to printer drivers and printer manufacturers will update their printer drivers to be more bulletproof regarding operating system color managment differences.
    Sorry for the long-winded message.  Unfortunately, this is one of those seemingly simple problems that has a lot of underlying complexity and does not yield a "one size fits all" solution.  I will keep this group updated on what I learn as I work with Adobe.
    Best,
    George

  • Camera raw and Photoshop CS3 from Lightroom

    (2.5) If I open a raw image from Windows Explorer or Bridge (which I don't use much), Camera Raw 4.6 opens. It doesn't open if I Edit In Photoshop CS3 from Lightroom, but says "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 5.5 for full compatibility. Camera Raw version 4.6 is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3".
    There are two choices: Render using Lightroom and Open Anyway. If I say the former, it doesn't use the file name, but does something like -2.tif.
    I'm not sure what these two choices actually do.
    Secondly, if things were working properly, would Lightroom actually open the Camera Raw window? If so, is there anything I can do short of upgrading PS to CS4?
    Thanks.

    Just a little history of the profiles being displayed for your camera model. The camera calibration tab only displays the profiles that are specific to your camera and model. The earler profiles were named after the version of ACR that was in use when they were created.
    So.
    ACR 4.2 the first profile created for your camera model when support was introduced.
    ACR 4.4, Adobe created/ updated new profiles for most of the supported camera models with this release of ACR.
    Adobe Standard Beta, updated profile when the Beta of ACR 5.0 and LR 2.0 were introduced.
    Adobe Standard, Updated profile for the final release of ACR 5.0 and LR 2.0. This then is the latest profile created for your camera model. I think it should be the closest to your camera standard.
    Adobe did not create any other camera matching profiles Vivid, Neutral etc other than for the more popular Nikon and Canon models.  I have an Olympus so I am in the same boat.

  • How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

    Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
    A: File -> import-> video to layers.
    In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
    Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
    They will now be available in your animation palette.

    Zeno
    curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
    I guess I'm out of luck with the 64  bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
    What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?

  • Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom

    Hi
    I use Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 mainly as I am a photographer. It involves both programmes live and some huge PSD files kicking around. I would be interested in hearing from any one who does similar on a high end mac mini. I am thinking of getting the high end new i7 with 16g and an SSD.
    Any good ?

    While it will not deliver 'blazing fast' performance, it has tested OK with Photoshop CS6 MGE recently and it has faired decently well in some benchmark reports. Since the OP insisted Mac Mini, I think he can go for it. Also, since his work demands more 'Photo-specific' editing, I guess he should be good. Not much 3D I assume!
    Here are some references:

    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html - HD4000 has been tested with CS6 by Adobe
    And I haven't heard of a 'reported failure' per se yet.

  • XMP Schema problem Photoshop CS3 and Bridge

    Hi All,
    I am in the process of creating a XMP schema to contain custom metadata.
    I have created a schema that works 80%. The problem I have is that although the schema shows up and displays all the fields, the data I input is not savced to the image file. This is the same in both Photoshop CS3 and Bridge.
    Has anyone come across this problem before?
    I would be happy to send the schema to anyone who is happy to check it over for coding problems.
    Many thanks
    Andrew

    Hi Thomas,
    I am not sure how to do this. Do I do this through Console?
    I tried and received a nul return.
    Also is the file you are referring to the image file or the Schema text file?
    Sorry, I am a beginner when it comes to XML....
    Thanks

  • Can I have Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 on 2 computers? How do I do this?

    Currently I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4 on both my Mac Pro and my Macbook Pro. I also have Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 on my Mac Pro. I now have an iMac and would like to have Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 on it. Do I need to deactivate it from my Mac Pro to do this or how can I install them onto my new computer as well? Also can I still have CS5 and LR4 on my laptop? Thanks :-)

    Each license allows for having working installations on two machines.  Which two machines you use them on is your choice.

  • Adobe cs3 and lightroom

    Hi,
    Are there any MB users who can let me know if these apps run well on a 2.2 with 2mb of ram, macbook. I am a photographer who is looking to go apple and for the sort of work it will be needed for the size of the MB suits my needs rather than a MBP. Any help would be great.

    My partner runs phtoshop cs3 and lightroom on a 1st gen cor duo macbook with 2mb of ram, the images take a second or two to sharpen when you open RAW images, other than that everything works pretty well, if you are buying a new one you shouldn't have any problems, go for it, you wont be disappointed.

  • I already have photoshop cc and lightroom 6 and cs 3 wish to include all 3 in the cc

    I already have photoshop cc and lightroom 6 and CS 3 wish to include  PS LR and ID in a cc package?

    I think you need to clarify what it is that you really want. First of all, you can't have Lightroom 6 because it hasn't been released yet. And why is it that you would expect CS3 to be included in the creative cloud? What is it that you want to do?
