After countless months of waiting, Adobe has finally announced that it will be releasing a Beta of the new Photoshop CS3 on Friday, December 15th. As expected, the release is a universal application, meaning that it will run natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macs. Adobe stated that this is an exciting time for the Mac and that Adobe wanted to help smooth out the transition to Intel-based Macs with a preview release of Photoshop CS3. Adobe gives us more info about the new Photoshop Beta.

Packed with new features, Photoshop CS3 beta also includes a pre-release version of a major upgrade to Adobe Bridge, as well as a preview release of the all-new Adobe Device Central. Photoshop customers can use Adobe Device Central to design, preview, and test compelling mobile content, created specifically for smaller screens. This new tool, integrated in the Photoshop CS3 beta, simplifies and accelerates the creation of mobile content through a preview environment and built-in device profiles.

 

To utilize Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta, customers require a serial number from either Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe Creative Suite® 2, Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio, Adobe Design Bundle, Adobe Web Bundle or Adobe Video Bundle. Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta is available in English only. Customers who have a valid serial number for all other language versions of qualifying Adobe products can download the software. Without a serial number, users can still download Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta, with the product expiring after two days. Customers must register online with Adobe or have an existing Adobe.com membership account to access the software.

The System Requirements for Mac are OS X 10.4.8 or 10.5, a 1GHz G4 or G5, or an Intel-based Mac with 512 MB of RAM or more. Adobe will also be releasing a version for Windows XP.

 

Update: The Photoshop CS3 beta has been released. You can download it here.

Simply grab some earlier release(4/5/6/7) and replace SMBIOS.

You can find it on any DVD in System/Installation/Packages/Essetials.pkg

Use Pacifist to extract Essentials.pgk.

I'm having activation problems, though. I'm part of a school license and we don't know how to upgrade. :S

Im trying to test out a theory .. those who are trying a serial number are having the problem

 

So -

How may of you who have PS3 working used the trial period options vs entering a serial and going through activation.

Im using CS3 in Trial Mode now...i cant get activation yet.

 

I created an icon replacement because i dont like the new Photoshop icon.

 

Tell me if it like you.

I'm running without troubles after entering serial and do the internet activation process.

Hmm - interesting.

 

 

When I entered a valid serial number and hit next the application crashed - I did not see anything related to activation so I am assuming the problem is related to the activation step. now when I try and run PS3 it just crashes.

 

I replaced AppleSMBIOS.kext and rebooted but it didnt help

I deleted the PS3 dir in the applications folder and reinstalled but that didnt help

 

 

Any ideas anyone?

Messes up too if you have a case-sensitive filesystem. They were sloppy with the naming.
