Performance/history States preference Photoshop CS3 problem

Hello everyone, I am using windows 7/32 bit and I have a huge problem with my photoshop CS3. When I try to open it it says: could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked.

Then I go to delete the preferences and it works again, but when I close it I get a message that says that Photoshop no longer works so I try to open it again and it still says: could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. I don't know what to do, I tried everything (restart the computer, remove the preferences, delete temporary files) and nothing works. Please help if you can I have a lot of work and can't do anything with photoshop acting like that. Thank you very much in advance.

UPDATE: it seems that the locked file slipped. But once I open photoshop I change the performance, specific story now because of 100 that I need to have this setting. Once I have it and try to close photoshop that it never closes and it says photoshop stopped working as it crashes or something, but if I do not change the performance/history States it closes normally, I can please help.

I don't know why it should crash.  It goes to the right when you change the setting?

Assuming that you have installed CS3 from your original, do you have updated to the latest version of Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1)?

  • Photoshop cs3 problem of opacity for clone stamp

    Hello

    Somehow the opacity of the clone stamp has increased suddenly. Now it is almost impossible to cover a dust particle. I need to crush a 100 times to get rid of him. I don't see how to change this back. If anyone can help?

    Thank you

    I guess that opacity is set to 100% at the top of the main window of Photoshop?

    Check all these parameters up there, even if you have a fuzzy brush cutting as well.

  • Small problem with Photoshop CS3

    Hi, I have a little problem with Photoshop CS3, I don't know if it's because only option of Windows that I messed up, but the thing is that I got in all the options, or some sort of preferences.

    http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/3554/62467600.jpg

    I don't speak of the 'little window' (I don't know the exact name) come, in this case, the filter and analysis options, they just turn right and usually, down it on their left side. It's really annoying.

    Not a big deal, but I can not really work properly. I hope you guys can help me, and this is my first post, I hope I don't break any rules.

    You have activated the left-handed Tablet support in your system settings. Turn the power off and everything will be back to normal.

  • Problem upgrade version Adobe Photoshop CS3, to Photoshop CS4.

    Hi, hope someone can help, Adobe does not support older versions of Photoshop apparently...

    I had Adobe PS CS3 installed on my laptop wife.  But his HARD disk was giving problems, so I've migrated the o/s to a new hard drive to SSD.

    Now, I install the software back, I have successfully installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 and recorded it, I then tried to install the upgrade for CS3 DVD:

    Photoshop CS4, but it fails to insert the code. The code for the CS4 update is accepted OK but when it asks for the serial number for Photoshop CS3 already installed and registered, he said that this serial number is not recognized. I can't seem to work around this problem, and it is very annoying. I have received for the two versions and they were bought from reputable companys Unfortunately it was a few years ago, so probably no help now.

    The last time that happened a few years back, I contacted Adobe who talked through the process that required a different number series and another method

    I can not remember now.  I got this DVD upgrade for awhile and it's a shame if we are unable to make use.


    I use Adobe CC on my desktop doesn't have is no need for that. But my wife likes the older versions of Photoshop.

    appreciate if someone knows how to work around this problem, currently installed upgrading to CS4 trial version to get past the nag screen.

    Hello.

    I'm having a problem loading and using my Adobe Photoshop CS3. This is the third time that I use this forum. I us a PC. The operating system is "Microsoft Windows 7 Home prem". I recently had to remove from my hard drive and reload the operating system with all the updates and load to the top of my existing software. All my software works except my Photoshop CS3, which I use most. I loaded the software disc and download online. The system of charge very well and activation is complete.  Here are the main things that don't work properly, I have noticed so far. First of all, I can't open my camera RAW (I can with my Lightroom software, but not with my Photoshop software?). So I can't open any of my files of digital camera? Second, I can open a .jpeg file and use the Photoshop software and I can save the changes, but when I turn off my calculated the software doesn't seem to be on my computer. When I go to Windows ' search program and files "software is not located here. When I go to "Uninstall" the software of the foldername is there it is. "Photoshop CS3" but there isn't any size file to it IE 400 MB, while my software "Lightroom" on the 'uninstall' section will have a file for example size 400 MB tied to it. Thirdly, I also have a photosoftware of B + W, which operated in Photoshop; It's "NIK software - Silver Efex Pro" and it is located in the subtitle of 'filter' of Photoshop CS3. I use Silver Efex and all functions are working properly, but I can't save the file, it does not save the changes to save.

    Please can you help me.

    Thank you.

  • Problems using Photoshop CS3 to calculate areas of pixels

    Is there a known problem with Photoshop CS3 when using it to calculate how many pixels contained in some areas when they are complex shapes?  I am doing some calculations and for simple areas, it is very good, but in other areas it happens with obviously incorrect values. For example, if you create a matrix of tangent circles in a rectangle and start looking on the circles and the intermediate spaces between the circles and/or between the circles and the bounding box that surround the edges of the outermost circles and then start to use the Panel/window "Histogram" (I use the Mac of Photoshop CS3 version) number of pixels is far away sometimes. I noticed that there is sometimes a warning icon in the histogram Panel that says "Click to histogram with no cached data" and when this is done then the beleivable numbers are shown.

    Why the data "cached" so far off the power when you make these kinds of calculations?

    Thanks for any suggestion on how to accurately calculate areas this way.

    -Bob

    PS - I tried to put a version of the file, but it is higher than the 2 MB limit - if you want to see the exact file I play with let know me and will gladly send a copy so you can see what I mean.

    The sample used is a version of the sampled low resolution of your image, in other words, a version.

    You should be aware that such analysis, it is an important aspect of your work, you would benefit to have the version of Photoshop Extended , which has many functions of measure. You could, for example, have several selected areas and take a measure that could provide you with areas of all selections more their fields combined as well as many other data. All these data can then be exported to a spreadsheet for further analysis.

  • Help: problem importing psd Photoshop CS3 to AECS4

    Hi guys,.

    I searched some forums and found no answer to my problem.

    I'm sure it's probably somehing simple but can you please help.

    I created some files in Photoshop CS3 and imported into AE CS4 before without problem.

    It always opens in layers that I can animate.

    Today a client sent me a psd file that I can open and manipulate each layer individually perfect in photoshop CS3
    but when I open it in AE CS4, it does not open as layers.

    It opens in a single file as a single image.

    I need layers so that I can animate each layer.

    I even saved my own new copy and not the customer.

    Any ideas of what it can be?

  • Slow to open the Images in Photoshop CS3

    I just converted to win7 and installed PS CS3.  When I do an update check, there is no update for photoshop, so I believe that I am current.  If I open a jpg image via the file menu, or bridge, or using ACDSee, image files (or files) are slow to open.  If usually sees a message upward in the title bar of photoshop (where the logo is followed by "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended") where it will briefly indicate "not responding".  It started with switch to win7.  It will take 20 seconds or more to open a jpg file and is not the giant files.

    Under Options/performance, I indicated to let Photoshop use 1194 MB which is the upper part of the beach.  The range that photoshop shows as ideal never changes, regardless if photoshop is running alone or with other applications.  I indicated "scratch disks" on my drives E and C, with E being the first listed.  E have more than 500 GB of free space, and C has more than 190 GB free.  History States are 20 and cache is 6.  Settings for my NVidia GE Force 8800 video card GPU has activate verified 3D acceleration.

    I don't know what else I'm supposed to optimize.  I never had this problem in vista using CS3.

    This is a known bug and has been reported several times in the forum.

    The solution, weird as it may seem, is to make a printer driver generic default printer.

  • Photoshop CS3 Lag click on new MBP

    I recently bought a new 2011 Macbook Pro 15 ", 2.2 ghz, 4 GB of ram. I am under photoshop CS3 and I am facing a very strange problem.

    More precisely in my layers palette and my dialogue layer styles, photoshop rowing for about 3 to 5 seconds when a left click of things. For example, I can right click on a layer and go to 'blending options', and the dialog box styles layer dated back almost immediately. However, when I double-click on the right end of the layer (the way I usually raise layer styles), it takes about 5 solid seconds for the dialog box to appear. Similarly, if I use keyboard shortcuts to navigate through the different layers of selection, the selection layer change almost immediately happens. However, when I click a layer, it takes about 4-5 seconds for the layer to select. It is almost as if I am now the mouse button for those few seconds. This same period also happens while selecting the different layer styles in the dialogue of layer styles, as well as selecting a color in the color picker, making it almost impossible for me to choose a color, because if I moved my mouse within these 4-5 seconds as he is trolling the color will change everytime my mouse is currently.

    I don't am not facing this problem anywhere else on my computer or anywhere else within Photoshop. By clicking on all the other tools and options works very well. Photoshop is configured to use 65% of my system memory, and it is fixed at 2 levels of cache to use. I tried to disable ' tap by clicking on ' my trackpad, as well as using a mouse usb standard - nothing fixed. This problem no matter how big or small the document I'm working on is.

    Does anyone have an idea of what this might be?

    I had a similar problem. Make a right click on a tool would take 5 seconds until I have a chance to select. I worked on it and found that the issue was in fact with another application running on my system, I had. RightZoom app causes lag problems in Photoshop. After turning off RightZoom photoshop works perfectly. If you have not installed a RightZoom then try to disable opengl in the performance section of Photoshop preferences.
