Hello Scott, you are great, I made the upgrade of OS X and CS 3 opens in Rosetta without a problem as it did before.
Thank you very much for your help.

The OSX upgrade released today claims to fix some CS3 problems.
Good Luck.

Hi everybody
I am working on iMac 27″ with Snow Leopard. Because of an older Scanner LIDE from Canon I had to install Photoshop CS3 launched with Rosetta.
PS CS 3 worked on Rosetta fine and also the old scanner worked till the last OSX upgrate from Apple.Since than CS 3 does not open anymore with Rosetta. If I start it without Rosetta it opens normal and I can work on it. But without Rosertta the plug-ins for the old scanner will not open.
Did somebody have the same problem and did you find a solution??
Thanks for help. Hansdiego

Question for Adobe users here:
Do Adobe CS3 apps work perfectly fine in OS X Tiger or Leopard?
The Reason I’m asking, is that I’m thinking of getting one of the CS3 suites and sticking with OS X 10.4 Tiger on my G5 and installing it on my MacBook Pro, and then just installing CS3 apps on that machine. Would that work? avoid all of the bugs that you are experiencing by installing CS3 on Snow Leopard?
Like to hear your feedback.
Thanks.

logic here? I guess that you don’t mean you. You foolishly upgraded ONLY part of your software, the OS, without thinking if Apple supported, yes APPLE, older things?
And who does updates for software 2 generations old? you? LOL
and the good news is that Apple has announced that they are trying to fix the 10.6 screwups with respect to CS3 in their next patch: 10.6.4

Since CS5 is out, does this mean a definite no to CS3 fixes? I am very surprised at the fact that Adobe states they love their 3 million developers and multiple platforms, when they clearly do not. Since cs3 and cs4 have all these issues, would it not be nice/logical to have an upgrade incentive and move people into CS5 with comfort and lack of resentment. Instead we have a higher price for CS3 owners to upgrade to CS5 than we do for CS4. I truly do not understand the logic here. Isn't the point of good business to take care of your customers and keep them for the long run? Just some thoughts, Thanks Everyone. [I'm afraid we can't go back and work around whatever Apple has broken in older releases. (For what it's worth, they don't go back to fix what they broke in their their own older apps--e.g. older versions of Final Cut and Aperture.) It's not that companies don't want to make things right. It's that the cost relative to doing other things you want (improving the app for the future) is very high. --J.]

Hi Michael,
I’ve just installed CS2 on Snow Leopard, and it seems to work fine. Activation might be tricky if you’ve already used up your activations without releasing them from your old computers, but Rosetta and CS2 are chugging along here.

We’re looking into the issue that some users are seeing after the 10.6.3 update. You can follow @dhowe or myself @jtranber on twitter for more info.

what about CS3 and 10.6.3…?
there seems to be many new issues for some Apple configurations with the new OS X update…?

I can’t see how so many people say Snow Leopard works well with PS CS3. I have so many problems inc between 10-20 crashes a day (yes a day) Not only have I been back to apple’s “Genius’s” but have tried so many diff fixes that “Finding fixes, and reinstalling” now form a major part of my CV, as that is what I mainly do. Now looking for a replacement for all my Adobe software.

Sorry … I should have made it clear that I’ve just bought a new 27″ IMac, not just upgraded to Snow Leopard!

What a disgrace. My problem is with using RAW images in Photoshop. All the pix (thousands) taken by my Canon 40D and 50D cameras will now not open. Installing new plugins failed. (This workaround succeeded in Tiger on my older MacBook.) I can’t select updates in Help because it is greyed out. My lousy options are to use DNG conversion – a long an tedious process, or upgrade to CS4 … just when CS5 is on the horizon. I don’t care how “reasonable” Adobe is being – this is just spin, albeit by a high ranking Adobe spokesman. It is an unethical situation, pure and simple. Shame on
Adobe. I have spent thousands over the years on Adobe products and I feel cheated.
