Will installing CS3 (Beta) on a Macintosh G5 running OS 10.4 modify already installed CS2 in any way?

NO, except it will make itself the preferred application for opening the file types that CS2 used to. But this can be reversed later.

Hi Lee,

Yes it will. When you uninstall it you will no longer be able to start Bridge from inside Photoshop CS2.

CS3 updates a start up script, and then deletes it when you uninstall, but does not restore the original script.

Bye for now.

Under Windows the problem I’m having after installing CS3 beta (and then resetting the Preferences to open files in CS2) is when I modify an image in ACR from Bridge 1.0 and I click Open it launches CS2 but does not open the file in CS2. To open a RAW file in CS2 I have to right-click on the file thumbnail in Bridge and choose to open with CS2.

This may also be related to the updated script problem I mwntioned earlier. As far as I know, the connection between Bridge and CS2 is controlled by scripts. It could be that the updated script is also responsible for calling Photoshop from Bridge.

Remember that this is a beta version and there are always issues like this in beta versions. Depending on how essential you find the auto open thing, you will have to put up with it or uninstall CS3 and repair your CS2 installation.

I was hoping someone here would chime in with a fix. If it’s just the script, tell me which one it is and I will pull it off another machine. Uninstalling both and reinstalling CS2 seems overkill.

You do not have to uninstall photoshop to do a repair installation, and it only takes a few minutes.

The script that is affected is photoshop-9.jsx.

Good luck
