Adobe Announces Photoshop CS3 Beta

Yeah right. Mine does not work anymore

I've put back application.sif, restarted, message "trial has expired", closed, renamed application.sif again and it's working

So, the whole {censored} is to allow Flex license manager to load I think.

I pulled it out before first launch / enter Sn, etc... I runs great and never asked for a SN or activation.

EDIT: I also "Hexed" it first too...

Removing it before the first launch seem also works on my CS3. :mellow:

I downloaded and installed the Beta this weekend. While I had to chnage out the Apple SMBIOS.kext (as did most), all I can say is WOW! The icon blows chunks, but this build really shows the power of the Intel chip. :mellow:

I went to NASA and downloaded the highest resolution images of the earth uncompressed (Spherical texture map) and combined all 8 files in Photoshop. The end result was a 43,200 px by 86,400 px image that saved as a Photoshop Large Document format as a 10.1GB layered file. The flattened version is only 3.74GB. It took a while to save, even on my Quad Xeon with 6GB of RAM (CS3 only takes 3GB in Tiger) but was still a phenomenal feat. CS3 never hiccuped once! Just kept truckin' along.

Very impressed so far. The new Camera Raw 4.0 is nice too, as are the enhancements to Bridge.

=)

Has anyone tried running Adobe CS3 Beta through Xslimmer? I use Xslimmer quite a bit on all my universal apps to get rid of everything but the Intel architecture. I like the program so much, I actually paid for it... yeah I know... crazy...

The Bridge stuff is greatly improved. I was seriously blown away by the speed - at least twice that of CS2...

Somehow i am doing something terribly wrong, i suppose. After installing PS, the icon jumps one time, nothing happens (hackintosh, tried putting another smbios , nothing worked).

Would someone please help me?

10.4.8. semthex latest, ati x1600 working, sse3 (intel915gux)

Put your system and hardware specifications.

My Photoshop says OpenGL Drawing disabled...

How do I fix that?

I don't think it's working for anyone. It's either still being re-written, or it's purposely disabled in the beta.

I´ve made 2 icons for replace the original CS3 (both: Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3)

Enjoy them....

Tell me if you like it.

can anyone tell me why the windows version is about 1/2 the size as the osx version?

Because the os x version has PPC and Intel code.

Ah, makes sense. At first I thought well maybe the windows version is just compressed.

Just....wow.

Hi,

i just copied CS3 from my 10.4.8(xeon) to my 10.4.3 laptop, and this biatch is even working on that old 10.4.3

Well, so far.

cheers

Not working in may OSX 10.4.8: "Adobe Photoshop crashed bla bla bla".

I´ve changed SMBIOS but the crash continues.

EDIT:

After updating OSX Photoshop now is functional! Just need a patch, crack or serial...

EDIT 2:

I downloaded a patch and now...it works great!

:thumbsup_anim:

same here. see above post last page.

i wonder how it really could open normaly after install. if you take a look at the directory-structure, e.g. frameworks of the .app, the structure is a little bit beta, too. for example, the typical structure framework/xyframework/a/xyz which is dynamically loaded at startup *must* have problems at least for framework-dirs, that happen to be called 'a' instead of 'A' etc. maybe some crashes are triggered by this?

would highly appreciate if someone could help me.

Just so everyone is aware... I was able to "Slim" down Adobe Photoshop CS3 Beta to 147MB by removing the non-intel code from the files. There is no functionality loss if any kind in the software. Xslimmer is quite a cool program... just an FYI

my friend downloaded it for mac:

looks pretty nice, but i could make that in ps2

ill probably get it anyway

how much is it going to cost in the U.S.?

While I am waiting on the 10.4.8 SSE2/3 AMD/Intel JaS release, I was curious if anyone with a SSE2 only processor has gotten this to work as well as everyone else. I have a Celeron 2GHzin one machine and a Pentium M in the other, and would like to run Photoshop CS3 (I run CS2 on my G3). Also, off topic a bit, but has anyone even tried to get CS3 to run on a G3 Mac (I have an iMac DV400) and if so, how is the speed compared to CS2?

I´ve changed SMBIOS and it start working. After two system restarts mDNSResponder crashed with floating point exception. System is not starting. But only one solution for this - I've copied old smbios back. System is okay now but i can't use Photoshop.
