Photoshop 3.0 WinXP

wrote:

Hello is it possible to do something so that I can run Photoshop 3.0 with WinXP?

I’ve tried the compatibilty mode of Win95, and Win98 but it still won’t run.

Thanks!

Even if it does I don’t think it’s worth to use it. Heck, I don’t even know what Photoshop v2.x and v3.x look like <bg>

I finally upgraded to Win XP a couple of months ago and just got around to trying to install Photoshop 3.0 yesterday.

It was working fine with my Win 98 and was actually quite feature-rich and useable.

Too bad I can’t use it anymore.

Windows XP doesn’t really support 16bit software. I doubt you can get it to work at all.

Windows 98 still supported some 16bit software.

Given we’re moving into 64bit these days, I really think it’s time to upgrade!

If it works with Win98 and you really wanna use it then you can always try to tell WinXP to run it as either Win95, Win98, or WinNT compatible see if it will work (there is a chance that it may not work). The option is under Properties.

And if you really can use Photoshop v3 then my suggestion that you may need to spend lot more time exploring the newer Photoshop (especially the current) as you have been years behind… and you haven’t known what you have been missing. IOW, it may work fine but may not worth the time spending on thing that you won’t learn any newer and better features of newer version.

Since you’re used to PhotoShop 3 have you considered TheGIMP?

http://www.gimp.org/

You might find this tool to your liking, and the price is certainly right.

It’s been awhile so my recollection might be rusty, but I thought that Photoshop has always been at least 32-bit. This prune also seems to think that Photoshop 3.0 was 32-bit:

Not that any of this helps the OP, of course.

To me, Photoshop is lifetime learning so I wouldn’t suggest to switch to anything but more and more and more Photoshop practicing, and hope one day we may master 1/3 of its strength.

Or at least go with Photoshop Element to keep closer to full Photoshop.

Actually.. that’s not a bad idea at all. I use Elements most of the time and GIMP only on the rare occasion where I need something that Elements doesn’t support.

Actually, you probably can. What error message do you see? It’s certainly possible to get PS4 running under XP, I have little doubt PS3 can be made to run too.
