    Photoshop CS3 Ext. owners, please, look inside

    I'm using PS CS now and have a lot of psd's I made with it. Today I downloaded a trial version of PS CS3. It's nice as long as I do not open my old psd's in it. It crashes every time I do that.

    Does anyone experience the same? Is there any tool that coverts old psd's into a newer format?

    It's time to buy an updated software but I'm a bit confused with a fact that I will have to use 2 versions at the same time that makes no sense for me.

    Thx in advance for you answers.

              Will I hear any constructive thoughts from you or you will just keep trolling?

                      Dude... he was asking to keep options open.

                      Personally I am having NO problems with the application.

                      You should contact Adobe instead of worrying too much. It's not the app, coz it's fine for me... it must be your system.

                              did you try to open a psd made with CS?

                              My system runs fine. I didn't have any issues with Adobe Software before. When I moved from PS 7 to CS, all files I had before, can be easily open/edited in CS. One more time: I'm using a trial version. I doubt they provide support for trial software.

                                  I can open all PSD's ... I created PSD's with version 7 years ago that I can now open with no problems, and of course, with CS.... that works also.

                                  I honestly don't think Adobe will ignore you ... if you ask them. Tell them you will not be buying Adobe CS3 because the files wont open. Then explain what happens ... they'll help you I am sure

                                      thx, will try to contact them
                                      it appears it has more bugs that I could expect LOL
                                      1. When I click a type tool, it crashes
                                      2. When I try to adjust a tool palette, it crashes
                                      That's pretty strange.

                                              Sounds like you have a possible ram issue to me.

                                                  I don't think so I have a brand new PC, it's just 4 months old.
                                                  I suppose that PS CS3 does not support true type fonts. That's why it crashes.

                                                  Don't think so either. Have no issues with other applications, none of them.

                                                      Yoni ... Photoshop CS3 has not crashed using ANY of the 4500 True Type Fonts I have access to so far

                                                      It works fine with them.

                                                          What os you running and how many gigs of ram. I ran 4gb on 32 bit xp for awhile and had a lot of programs that had unexplained crashes and issues. Pulling out 1gb to the recomended 3gb solved all thos issues. Ram does funny things at times.

                                                              you're a lucky guy

                                                              I don't really know what's wrong with it. I just want to be sure it works fine on my PC before I buy an update.

                                                              I wouldn't start a thread if it worked well on my machine. I'm not able even to open a character palette, because it crashes again. It seems that this trial is just a shitty beta.

                                                                              So can fonts. I have issues with TrueType fonts occassionally. I convert them to Open Type fonts to avoid that.

                                                                              I have also downloaded trials of software and had them not install properly. I would take it off your machine and start over. Find a different source to download it if you're willing to do it again. Adobe may be able to tell you if the bug has been reported so you can not waste any more time until they fix it. :P

                                                                              Good luck!

                                                                                  I downloaded a trial of Dreamweaver CS3. It just works with no problems. Bridge CS3 works with no issues.

                                                                                  I do a lot of memory consuming tasks like video encoding or 3d rendering and never had problem with my system.

                                                                                  I'll run a memtest to be sure there are no hardware errors.

I know a LOT of artists using Photoshop al day every day... CS3. Not having any problems. And btw, I also ran the trial for a period to check it out. It's not a shitty beta. It's a trial. It's actually the exact same code as the full release version. You can even put a serial number into the trial to make it run the full version etc.

I know a LOT of artists using Photoshop al day every day... CS3. Not having any problems. And btw, I also ran the trial for a period to check it out. It's not a shitty beta. It's a trial. It's actually the exact same code as the full release version. You can even put a serial number into the trial to make it run the full version etc.
                                                                                                          yep, I can turn it into a full version just inserting a serial number and activating it. May be you're right and I have to test RAM. As I'm working now, I'll run a test at night. Will post results later.

                                                                                                          Thx.
