We are running CS3 on intel Macs (10.5.4) If you open a file saved by this on a G5 (10.4.11) using CS3 Extended, the font size is now incorrect. eg Arial 12pt in CS3 opens as Arial 12.04pt in extended.
Both CS3 and CS3 extended are 10.0.1
Has anyone else seen this if so how is it prevented.
#1
the application CS3 and CS3 extended are the same application. the only difference is the serial number.
I would be more inclined to believe the differences are the OS and or the hardware.
#2
As far as I know Extended offers several more functions than CS3 and so is a different application. Or is it only addional plug ins ?
please see:

because of the font issue:
Which filetype do you use, PSD ?
are you saving to a network drive ? if so, please save to an internal HD, then transfer files manully (over the file explorer) to its final place (so, no direct saving to network drives).
Could you check if its actually bigger really ? Maybe its just a display thing, I mean, maybe PS CS3 inernaly has it stored as 12.04 but just shows in the dialog "12". Maybe extended is more exact in that point. So Effictively maybe both are same size actually ?

We are using .psd files. The file is on a Network drive. We can open the file with multiple Macs using CS3 correctly. When opened on Extended the font size is wrong. It was noticed when it was published (apparently) it was then noted that the font is .04 pts bigger in Extended.
I think they are basically the same program as there is only one updater. I think I will try to find a CS3 machine running on 10.4.x to see if it OS related next.
#4
the application CS3 and CS3 extended are the same application. the only difference is the serial number. the extended serial unlocks the extra features.

@Buko, thx for the info, thats the kidn of hints i am always looking for here :-)
@Jon
Do you think it might help to check what happens, if you save the file with the bigger font in PS EXT and then open it up again back in PS CS3 ? Is the font then still bigger ?
Have you PSD orgianlly been created on a 10.5.3 ? I ask because there were some know issues with saving PSD to 10.5.4 and PSD file saving to network (which had been then resolved in 10.5.4).

oops, type mistake:
meant "know issues with saving PSD to 10.5.3" (three!)
sry
#7
These issues are between Intel 10.5.4 CS3 and G5 10.4.11 CS3 Extended
#8
Do you by any chance have Photoshop set to use traditional measure points on one machine, but Postscript measure points on the other?
Check your Units Preferences.

Jean P you are a LEGEND
That was it, the CS3 Extended machine was set to traditional not postscript. Thanks heaps
Thank you all
Best Regards
