I have CS3, I upgraded from PS CS2 PC, I now have CS3 for MAC. I have tried everything to get the 3D transform filter that was in PS 7. I have no idea how to get it. I do not want to get CS3 extended just for one plug in… any idea how I can get it? Thanks Art

Great. So we pay to upgrade so they can take features away? Aren’t they supposed to be improving their product with each new release?
I say if you had it before in a previous version, you should still be able to use it whether it is offered in the extended edition or not. It shouldn’t be taken away just because you didn’t cough up enough milk money to the bully. Completely unfair.
I don’t have the unreasonable expectation to have every feature ever included in one bloated package. However, Adobe has demonstrated with CS3 Extended that it is still possible to give us this functionality, but they are choosing to charge us even more for something we’ve already paid for when we bought version 7. That is not fair and I don’t think my expectations are unreasonable.
That’s pretty outrageous. Talk to Adobe and keep me posted on your degree of success. I am a software engineer and I think this is just a symptom of the "got to get it to market" rush. I’ve been subjected to that myself.
To Ann: Do you know of a plug-in that will do the same thing? If so please let me know so I can down-load it. I mostly used it to make the 3D cubes and add images to them. I likes the way one could resize them and change angle. If there is a better one that would be great. Thanks…. Art
the 3D filter is not included with PSCS3 either version. the 3D functions of CS3 extended have nothing to do with the 3D Transform plugin. The plugin was not made into a native intel plugin. If you can get a CS2 3D plugin it will only work in Rosetta.
Yea, the guy I talked to did not even know they took it out, and did not know why they would take it out. At least he did look into it but still was unable to help.
CS3 extended doesn’t allow you to do what the plug-in did, which is wrap a texture around a basic 3d shape like a sphere, cylinder or box. It only allows you to manipulate 3d models that were exported out of other 3d software. I used 3d transform all the time, because it gave a more realistic warping around curved surfaces than I could accomplish, even with the warp tool (although the warp tool gave a quick and dirty and passable result).
I know the filter was very basic, but that is all I needed. If ANYONE knows where I can get something that does the same thing PLEASE let me know. I don’t want to spend big bucks on a very high tech one that I really would not use. Just for wraping text and making things like photo cubes.
You can still use the plugin in CS2, although I just did a test. You can copy the plugin into the same directory for CS3 as you have it in CS2 (applications/adobe photoshop cs3/plug-ins/filters) and the next time you load up CS3 it will be there in the filter-render menu. Keep in mind it only works in RGB mode.
Note: sharing of your Adobe software with others — and this includes Photoshop plug-ins — is illegal. It is a form of piracy. Please do not request or distribute copies in these forums.
As far as I know it was a free down load. Besides I brought and paid for the program, just needed the lost plug in. I see nothing wrong with giving the plug in to someone who has lost it as was the case with me. I have NO pirated software-don’t give it away, but I will hellp someone if I can
Thank you Art. I don’t pirate programs either or pass them along. My hard drive crashed on a 6 month old i-mac last week and I had to spend a small fortune buying the Cs3 creative suite only to find out that one simple little useful tool was missing. I understand that it is supposed to back in CS3 extended, but that would be another small fortune. When I spoke to Adobe, they told me to go buy it somewhere else!!! I can’t get any straight answers from anyone there. When I tried to use one from CS2, it didn’t work and neither did any of the others that I found in other forums.
Read your software license. It’ll tell you whether you can share your software or not. If the software is a legitimate free download, then simply go back to the download site. If you registered the software, but lost the discs, contact Adobe.
